Masengo 13
1 Mu mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵa ku Antiokia, ŵapali ŵane ŵaŵaliji ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ni ŵakwiganya. Mwa ŵelewo, ŵapali che Banaba ni che Simeoni jwakuŵilanjikwa jwampiliu ni che Lukio jwa ku Kulene ni che Sauli ni che Manaeni ŵaŵalelitwe pamo ni mwenye che Helode.
Now there were in Antioch, in the assembly which was [there], prophets and teachers: Barnabas, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, and Manaen, foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2 Nipele, paŵaliji nkupopela kwa Ambuje ni kutaŵa, Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵatite, “Mumichile pajika che Banaba ni che Sauli, kwa ligongo lya masengo ganaŵilasile.”
And as they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Separate me now Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.
3 Nipele, paŵamasile kutaŵa ni kupopela, ŵaasajichile makono gao ni kwaleka ajaulangane.
Then, having fasted and prayed, and having laid [their] hands on them, they let [them] go.
4 Nipele, che Banaba ni che Sauli ali alajiswe ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵatulwiche mpaka ku Seleukia, kutyochela kweleko ŵakwesile ngalaŵa mpaka ku chilumba cha Kupulo.
They therefore, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and thence sailed away to Cyprus.
5 Paŵaiche ku Salami, ŵaalalichile ŵandu Liloŵe lya Akunnungu mmajumba ga kupopelela Ŵayahudi, che Yohana Maliko ŵaliji pamo nawo nti jwakwatumichila.
And being in Salamis, they announced the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John also as [their] attendant.
6 Paŵajesilejesile mchilumba chose mpaka ku Pafo, ŵansimene nsaŵi jumo Myahudi, jwakulondola jwa unami liina lyakwe Baliyesu.
And having passed through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a certain man a magician, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus,
7 Jweleju ŵaliji pamo ni che Selujio Paolo jwankulu jwa chilumba, mundu juŵaliji ni lunda nnope. Che Selujio Paolo ŵaaŵilasile che Banaba ni che Sauli kuti apilikane Liloŵe lya Akunnungu.
who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. He, having called Barnabas and Saul to [him], desired to hear the word of God.
8 Nambo Elima nsaŵi jo, Elima Mchigiliki malumbo gakwe Jwakukanila, ŵasachile kunsiŵila jwankulu jwa chilumba anaukulupilile Ukilisito.
But Elymas the magician (for so his name is by interpretation) opposed them, seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith.
9 Nipele che Sauli jwakuŵilanjikwa che Paolo, ali aguumbele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, ŵankolondolele Elima,
But Saul, who also [is] Paul, filled with [the] Holy Spirit, fixing his eyes upon him,
10 ni kuti, “Mmwe nli mwanache jwa Shetani! Mmwe nli jwammagongo jwa ya usyene yose! Mmwe nli jwaunami jwankulu ni jwaulamba! Moŵa gose ngankuleka kugalyungasya matala ga goloka ga Ambuje.
said, O full of all deceit and all craft: son of [the] devil, enemy of all righteousness; wilt thou not cease perverting the right paths of [the] Lord?
11 Sambano, ulamusi wa Ambuje chiunlamule, chimme jwangalola ni nganliwona lyuŵa kwa katema.” Papopo pepo lyannyichilile lipundugulu ni chipi, ni ŵajendajendaga achinsosaga mundu jwakunkamula nkono kuti ŵaalongosye.
And now behold, [the] Lord's hand [is] upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell upon him a mist and darkness; and going about he sought persons who should lead him by the hand.
12 Jwankulu jwa chilumba jula paŵaiweni iyatendekwe yo, ŵankulupilile Che Yesu, ni ŵagasimosile nnope majiganyo gaŵagapilikene gankati Ambuje.
Then the proconsul, seeing what had happened, believed, being amazed at the teaching of the Lord.
13 Nipele, che Paolo ni mpingo wakwe ŵakwesile ngalaŵa kutyochela ku Pafo ni ŵaichenje ku Pega mmusi wa Pamfilia, nambo che Yohana Maliko ŵaalesile ni kuujila ku Yelusalemu.
And having sailed from Paphos, Paul and his company came to Perga of Pamphylia; and John separated from them and returned to Jerusalem.
14 Nambo ŵanyawo ŵapelengenye kutyochela ku Pega mpaka ku Pisidia mmusi wa ku Antiokia. Nipele ŵajinjile mu nyuumba ja kupopelela pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila ni kutama.
But they, passing through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia; and entering into the synagogue on the sabbath day they sat down.
15 Paŵamasile kusyoma mchitabu cha Malajisyo ni mu itabu ya Ŵakulondola, ilongola ŵa nyuumba ja kupopelela jila ŵalajisye utenga kukwao kuti, “Achalongo achinjetu, iŵaga nkwete maloŵe gagali gose gakwalimbisya mitima ŵandu ŵa, mmechete.”
And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation to the people, speak.
16 Nipele, che Paolo ŵajimi, ŵajongwele nkono ni kutanda kuŵecheta, “Ŵanyamwe Ŵaisilaeli achinjangu ni wose unkwalamba Akunnungu, mpilikanichisye!
And Paul, rising up and making a sign with the hand, said, Israelites, and ye that fear God, hearken.
17 Akunnungu ŵa ŵandu Ŵaisilaeli ŵaasagwile achambuje ŵetu, ni kwakusya paŵatamaga kuchilendo ku Misili kula. Ni kwa ukombole wao wekulungwa ŵaakopwesye kweleko.
The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people in their sojourn in [the] land of Egypt, and with a high arm brought them out of it,
18 Ni ŵaapililile mwipululu mula kwa yaka alobaini.
and for a time of about forty years he nursed them in the desert.
19 Nipele, ŵasijonasile ngosyo nsano ni siŵili sya mchilambo cha Kanaani ni ŵapele ŵanyawo chilambo cho kuti ajinjilanje majumba.
And having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance.
20 Yeleyo yatendekwe kwa yaka mia nne na hansini. “Payamasile yele Akunnungu ŵapele ŵakulamula kuti ŵaalongosye mpaka katema ka che Samweli jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
And after these things he gave [them] judges till Samuel the prophet, [to the end of] about four hundred and fifty years.
21 Ni pelepo ŵasachile kuŵa ni mwenye, ni Akunnungu ŵapele che Sauli mwanagwao che Kishi jwa lukosyo lu che Benyamini aŵe mwenye jwao kwa yaka makumi ncheche.
And then they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul, son of Kis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, during forty years.
22 Akunnungu paŵantyosisye che Sauli, ŵansagwile che Daudi kuŵa mwenye jwao. Ŵalosisye kwakunda paŵasasile umboni nkati jwelejo paŵatite, ‘Nammweni che Daudi mwanagwao che Yese, mundu jwakuunonyelesya ntima wangu, juchagatendekanye gose gingusaka kugatendekanya.’
And having removed him he raised up to them David for king, of whom also bearing witness he said, I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who shall do all my will.
23 Kutyochela mu lukosyo lu che Daudi Akunnungu ŵaapele Ŵaisilaeli Nkulupusyo, jwelejo ali Che Yesu mpela iŵatite pakulanga.
Of this man's seed according to promise has God brought to Israel a Saviour, Jesus;
24 Che Yesu akanaŵe kugatanda masengo, ŵalongolele che Yohana achaalalichilaga ŵandu wose ŵa ku Isilaeli aleche sambi ni kubatiswa.
John having proclaimed before the face of his entry [among the people] [the] baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25 Nkumalisya masengo gakwe, che Yohana ŵaausisye ŵandu, ‘Ana nkuganisya kuti uneji ndili Chiwombosyo? Uneji nganima ŵelewo ŵankwalindilila. Ŵelewo akwika panyuma pangu, ni uneji nganguŵajilwa kugopola migoji ja italawanda yao.’
And as John was fulfilling his course he said, Whom do ye suppose that I am? I am not [he]. But behold, there comes one after me, the sandal of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.
26 “Achalongo achinjangu ŵanli ŵanache ŵa che Iblahimu, ni ŵanyamwe ŵanganimma Ŵayahudi ŵankwalamba Akunnungu! Au utenga wa ukulupusyo wu uiche kukwetu.
Brethren, sons of Abraham's race, and those who among you fear God, to you has the word of this salvation been sent:
27 Pakuŵa ŵanyawo ŵakutama ku Yelusalemu pamo ni achakulu ŵao nganiŵamanyilila Che Yesu kuti ali Nkulupusyo, iyoyo nganagamanyilila malembelo ga ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu gagakusyomekwa pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila lyalili lyose. Kwa ligongo lyo ŵagamalichisye maloŵe ga ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu pakwalamula Che Yesu kuŵambikwa pa nsalaba.
for those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, not having known him, have fulfilled also the voices of the prophets which are read on every sabbath, [by] judging [him].
28 Atamuno nganalisimana liwamba lyakuulagwa, nambo ŵaŵendile che Pilato aulajikwe.
And having found no cause of death [in him], they begged of Pilate that he might be slain.
29 Paŵamalisisye kupanganya yanayose iyalembekwe mmalembelo yankati ŵelewo, nipele ŵaatulwisye pa nsalaba ni kwasika mu lilembe lya mbugu.
And when they had fulfilled all things written concerning him, they took him down from the cross and put him in a sepulchre;
30 Nambo Akunnungu ŵansyusisye.
but God raised him from among [the] dead,
31 Kwa moŵa gamajinji ŵaonekanaga kwa aŵala ŵaŵakwesile nawo kutyochela ku Galilaya kwaula ku Yelusalemu. Nombewo sambano ali ŵaumboni ŵakwe kwa ŵandu ŵa ku Isilaeli.
who appeared for many days to those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people.
32 Ni uweji tuiche pelepa kukwalalichila Ngani Jambone ja chilanga chiŵachiŵisile Akunnungu kwa achambuje ŵetu.
And we declare unto you the glad tidings of the promise made to the fathers,
33 Akunnungu achimalisisye chilanga cho sambano kwa ligongo lyetu uweji ŵatuli isukulu yao pakwasyusya Che Yesu. Mpela yaitite pakulembekwa mu Sabuli ja kaŵili, ‘Mmweji nli Mwanangu, uneji lelo jino mele Atati ŵenu.’
that God has fulfilled this to us their children, having raised up Jesus; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee.
34 Yankati kusyuka ku Che Yesu, kuti ngasawa sooni, Akunnungu ŵatite yelei, ‘Chinampe upile weswela wausyene unalanjile che Daudi.’
But that he raised him from among [the] dead, no more to return to corruption, he spoke thus: I will give to you the faithful mercies of David.
35 Elo, ni mwine mwine mu Sabuli akuti, ‘Ngamunneka Jwanswela jwenu aweje.’
Wherefore also he says in another, Thou wilt not suffer thy gracious one to see corruption.
36 Nambo nginiŵa yele ku che Daudi, pakuŵa che Daudi nsyene ŵatendekenye malinga ni iŵaisachile Akunnungu kutendekanya katema kao, nipele ŵawile ni ŵaasichile mu lilembe lya mbugu pachiŵandi ni achatati ŵao, ni chiilu chao chaosile.
For David indeed, having in his own generation ministered to the will of God, fell asleep, and was added to his fathers and saw corruption.
37 Nambo, jwele juŵasyusikwe ni Akunnungu ngasawola.
But he whom God raised up did not see corruption.
38 Nipele, achalongo achinjangu Ŵaisilaeli, mmanyilile kuti kwa litala li Che Yesu, utenga wa kulecheleswa sambi ukulalichilwa kukwenu, nikuti jwalijose jwakunkulupilila Kilisito akulecheleswa sambi syose, chindu changachikukomboleka kukundikwa kwa litala lya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa.
Be it known unto you, therefore, brethren, that through this man remission of sins is preached to you,
39 Jwalijose juchankulupilile Jwelejo chaŵalanjikwe ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu chindu chati Malajisyo ga che Musa ngagakukombola kuchipanganya.
and from all things from which ye could not be justified in the law of Moses, in him every one that believes is justified.
40 Nipele, nlilolechesye chikansimana chechila chiŵachisasile ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu,
See therefore that that which is spoken in the prophets do not come upon [you],
41 ‘Mpilikanichisye ŵanyamwe ŵakulikanganichila, nsimonje nkawe! Pakuŵa chindu chinguchipanganya, mmoŵa ga, chindu cho ngankajitichisye atamuno mundu akansalile.’”
Behold, ye despisers, and wonder and perish; for I work a work in your days, a work which ye will in no wise believe if one declare it to you.
42 Che Paolo ni che Banaba paŵakopokaga mu nyuumba ja kupopelela jila, ŵandu ŵala ŵaachondelele aichanje sooni kukwasalila maloŵe go, Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila lyalikwika.
And as they went out they begged that these words might be spoken to them the ensuing sabbath.
43 Paŵapwilingene mu nyuumba ja kupopelela mula, Ŵayahudi ŵajinji ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ŵaŵajitichisye dini ja Chiyahudi ŵaakuiye che Paolo ni che Banaba. Ŵanyawo ŵaŵechete nawo, ni kwalimbisya mitima kuti atamanje achikulupililaga upile wa Akunnungu.
And the congregation of the synagogue having broken up, many of the Jews and of the worshipping proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
44 Ni Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila liine, ŵandu ŵajinji, chiŵandi kwichila musi wose ŵasongangene kukupilikanila Liloŵe lya Ambuje.
And on the coming sabbath almost all the city was gathered together to hear the word of God.
45 Nambo Ŵayahudi paŵauweni mpingo wa ŵandu wo ŵagumbele wiu, nipele ŵachikanile chichasalaga che Paolo ni kwatukana.
But the Jews, seeing the crowds, were filled with envy, and contradicted the things said by Paul, [contradicting and] speaking injuriously.
46 Atamuno yeleyo, che Paolo ni che Banaba ŵaŵechete pangali lipamba, “Yaŵajilwe kuti Liloŵe lya Akunnungu litande kusalikwa kaje kwa ŵanyamwe. Nambo pakuŵa nlikanile ni kuganisya mwachinsyene kuti, ngankuŵajilwa kukola umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi, nipele tukunneka ni kwagalauchila ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi. (aiōnios g166)
And Paul and Barnabas spoke boldly and said, It was necessary that the word of God should be first spoken to you; but, since ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the nations; (aiōnios g166)
47 Pakuŵa Ambuje atulajisye yelei, ‘Nambisile mmweji kuŵa lilanguka kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, kuti ŵandu wose ŵa pachilambo akulupuswe.’”
for thus has the Lord enjoined us: I have set thee for a light of the nations, that thou shouldest be for salvation to the end of the earth.
48 Ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi paŵapilikene yele ŵasengwile, ni kuulapa utenga wa Ambuje, ni ŵandu wose ŵaŵasagulikwe kukola umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi, ŵaakulupilile Che Yesu. (aiōnios g166)
And [those of] the nations, hearing it, rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord, and believed, as many as were ordained to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
49 Liloŵe lya Ambuje lyajenele mchilambo chila chose.
And the word of the Lord was carried through the whole country.
50 Nambo Ŵayahudi ŵaachisisye achakongwe ŵakusichila, ŵakwapopela Akunnungu ni achalume ŵakumanyika ŵa mmusi wo. Ni ŵatandite kwalagasya che Paolo ni che Banaba, ni kwaŵinga mchilambo chao.
But the Jews excited the women of the upper classes who were worshippers, and the first people of the city, and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their coasts.
51 Nipele, achinduna ŵala ŵakung'undile luundu mmakongolo gao kulosya kuti akanikwe, ni ŵajawile ku Ikonio.
But they, having shaken off the dust of their feet against them, came to Iconium.
52 Nambo ŵakulijiganya ŵa Che Yesu ku Antiokia kula ŵasengwile ni kugumbala Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
And the disciples were filled with joy and [the] Holy Spirit.
