< 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.
There were also in the Church that was at Antiochia, certaine Prophets and teachers, as Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manahen (which had bin brought vp with Herod the Tetrarche) 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.”
Nowe as they ministred to the Lord, and fasted, the holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul, for the worke whereunto I haue called them.
3 Nipele, paŵamasile kutaŵa ni kupopela, ŵaasajichile makono gao ni kwaleka ajaulangane.
Then fasted they and prayed, and layde their hands on them, and let them goe.
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.
And they, after they were sent foorth of the holy Ghost, came downe vnto Seleucia, and from thence they sayled to Cyprus.
5 Paŵaiche ku Salami, ŵaalalichile ŵandu Liloŵe lya Akunnungu mmajumba ga kupopelela Ŵayahudi, che Yohana Maliko ŵaliji pamo nawo nti jwakwatumichila.
And when they were at Salamis, they preached the worde of God in the Synagogues of the Iewes: and they had also Iohn to their minister.
6 Paŵajesilejesile mchilumba chose mpaka ku Pafo, ŵansimene nsaŵi jumo Myahudi, jwakulondola jwa unami liina lyakwe Baliyesu.
So when they had gone throughout the yle vnto Paphus, they found a certaine sorcerer, a false prophet, being a Iewe, named Bariesus,
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.
Which was with the Deputie Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. He called vnto him Barnabas and Saul, and desired to heare the woorde of God.
8 Nambo Elima nsaŵi jo, Elima Mchigiliki malumbo gakwe Jwakukanila, ŵasachile kunsiŵila jwankulu jwa chilumba anaukulupilile Ukilisito.
But Elymas, ye sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstoode them, and sought to turne away the Deputie from the faith.
9 Nipele che Sauli jwakuŵilanjikwa che Paolo, ali aguumbele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, ŵankolondolele Elima,
Then Saul (which also is called Paul) being full of the holy Ghost, set his eyes on 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.
And sayde, O full of all subtiltie and all mischiefe, the childe of the deuill, and enemie of all righteousnesse, wilt thou not cease to peruert the straight waies 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.
Nowe therefore behold, the hand of the Lord is vpon thee, and thou shalt be blinde, and not see the sunne for a season. And immediately there fel on him a mist and a darknes; and he went about, seeking some to leade him by the hand.
12 Jwankulu jwa chilumba jula paŵaiweni iyatendekwe yo, ŵankulupilile Che Yesu, ni ŵagasimosile nnope majiganyo gaŵagapilikene gankati Ambuje.
Then the Deputie when he sawe what was done, beleeued, and was astonied at the doctrine 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.
Nowe when Paul and they that were with him were departed by shippe from Paphus, they came to Perga a citie of Pamphylia: then Iohn departed from them, and returned to Hierusalem.
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 when they departed from Perga, they came to Antiochia a citie of Pisidia, and went into the Synagogue on ye Sabbath day, and sate downe.
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 lecture of the Law and Prophets, the rulers of ye Synagogue sent vnto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye haue any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
16 Nipele, che Paolo ŵajimi, ŵajongwele nkono ni kutanda kuŵecheta, “Ŵanyamwe Ŵaisilaeli achinjangu ni wose unkwalamba Akunnungu, mpilikanichisye!
Then Paul stoode vp and beckened with the hand, and sayde, Men of Israel, and yee that feare 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 of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt in the land of Egypt, and with an high arme brought them out thereof.
18 Ni ŵaapililile mwipululu mula kwa yaka alobaini.
And about the time of fourtie yeeres, suffered he their maners in the wildernesse.
19 Nipele, ŵasijonasile ngosyo nsano ni siŵili sya mchilambo cha Kanaani ni ŵapele ŵanyawo chilambo cho kuti ajinjilanje majumba.
And he destroied seuen nations in the land of Chanaan, and deuided their lad to them by lot.
20 Yeleyo yatendekwe kwa yaka mia nne na hansini. “Payamasile yele Akunnungu ŵapele ŵakulamula kuti ŵaalongosye mpaka katema ka che Samweli jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
Then afterward he gaue vnto them Iudges about foure hundreth and fiftie yeeres, vnto the time of Samuel the Prophet.
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.
So after that, they desired a King, and God gaue vnto them Saul, the sonne of Cis, a man of ye tribe of Beniamin, by the space of fourty yeres.
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 after he had taken him away, he raised vp Dauid to be their King, of whom he witnessed, saying, I haue found Dauid the sonne of Iesse, a man after mine owne heart, which will doe all things that I will.
23 Kutyochela mu lukosyo lu che Daudi Akunnungu ŵaapele Ŵaisilaeli Nkulupusyo, jwelejo ali Che Yesu mpela iŵatite pakulanga.
Of this mans seede hath God according to his promise raised vp to Israel, ye Sauiour Iesus:
24 Che Yesu akanaŵe kugatanda masengo, ŵalongolele che Yohana achaalalichilaga ŵandu wose ŵa ku Isilaeli aleche sambi ni kubatiswa.
When Iohn had first preached before his coming the baptisme 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 when Iohn had fulfilled his course, he saide, Whom ye thinke that I am, I am not he: but beholde, there commeth one after me, whose shooe of his feete 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.
Yee men and brethren, children of the generation of Abraham, and whosoeuer among you feareth God, to you is the woorde of this saluation 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 the inhabitants of Hierusalem, and their rulers, because they knewe him not, nor yet the woordes of the Prophets, which are read euery Sabbath day, they haue fulfilled them in condemning him.
28 Atamuno nganalisimana liwamba lyakuulagwa, nambo ŵaŵendile che Pilato aulajikwe.
And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate to kill him.
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 that were written of him, they tooke him downe from the tree, and put him in a sepulchre.
30 Nambo Akunnungu ŵansyusisye.
But God raised him vp from 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.
And hee was seene many dayes of them, which came vp with him from Galile to Hierusalem, which are his witnesses vnto the people.
32 Ni uweji tuiche pelepa kukwalalichila Ngani Jambone ja chilanga chiŵachiŵisile Akunnungu kwa achambuje ŵetu.
And we declare vnto you, that touching the promise made vnto 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.’
God hath fulfilled it vnto vs their children, in that he raised vp Iesus, euen as it is written in the seconde Psalme, Thou art my Sonne: this day haue I begotten thee.
34 Yankati kusyuka ku Che Yesu, kuti ngasawa sooni, Akunnungu ŵatite yelei, ‘Chinampe upile weswela wausyene unalanjile che Daudi.’
Nowe as concerning that he raised him vp from the dead, no more to returne to corruption, he hath said thus, I wil giue you the holy things of Dauid, which are faithfull.
35 Elo, ni mwine mwine mu Sabuli akuti, ‘Ngamunneka Jwanswela jwenu aweje.’
Wherefore hee sayeth also in another place, Thou wilt not suffer thine Holy 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.
Howbeit, Dauid after hee had serued his time by the counsell of God, hee slept, and was laid with his fathers, and sawe corruption.
37 Nambo, jwele juŵasyusikwe ni Akunnungu ngasawola.
But he whom God raised vp, sawe no 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 knowen vnto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached vnto you the forgiuenesse of sinnes.
39 Jwalijose juchankulupilile Jwelejo chaŵalanjikwe ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu chindu chati Malajisyo ga che Musa ngagakukombola kuchipanganya.
And from al things, from which ye could not be iustified by the Law of Moses, by him euery one that beleeueth, is iustified.
40 Nipele, nlilolechesye chikansimana chechila chiŵachisasile ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu,
Beware therefore lest that come vpon you, which is spoken of in the Prophets,
41 ‘Mpilikanichisye ŵanyamwe ŵakulikanganichila, nsimonje nkawe! Pakuŵa chindu chinguchipanganya, mmoŵa ga, chindu cho ngankajitichisye atamuno mundu akansalile.’”
Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and vanish away: for I woorke a woorke in your daies, a woorke which yee shall not beleeue, if a man would declare it 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 when they were come out of the Synagogue of the Iewes, the Gentiles besought, that they woulde preach these woordes to them the next Sabbath day.
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.
Nowe when the congregation was dissolued, many of the Iewes and Proselytes that feared God, followed Paul and Barnabas, which spake to them, and exhorted 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 ye next Sabbath day came almost the whole citie together, to heare the worde of God.
45 Nambo Ŵayahudi paŵauweni mpingo wa ŵandu wo ŵagumbele wiu, nipele ŵachikanile chichasalaga che Paolo ni kwatukana.
But when the Iewes saw the people, they were full of enuie, and spake against those things, which were spoken of Paul, contrarying them, and railing on them.
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)
Then Paul and Barnabas spake boldly, and sayde, It was necessarie that the woorde of God shoulde first haue beene spoken vnto you: but seeing yee put it from you, and iudge your selues vnworthie of euerlasting life, loe, we turne to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
47 Pakuŵa Ambuje atulajisye yelei, ‘Nambisile mmweji kuŵa lilanguka kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, kuti ŵandu wose ŵa pachilambo akulupuswe.’”
For so hath the Lord commanded vs, saying, I haue made thee a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be the saluation vnto the end of the world.
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 when the Gentiles heard it, they were glad, and glorified the woorde of the Lord: and as many as were ordeined vnto eternall life, beleeued. (aiōnios g166)
49 Liloŵe lya Ambuje lyajenele mchilambo chila chose.
Thus the worde of the Lord was published throughout the whole countrey.
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 Iewes stirred certaine deuoute and honourable women, and the chiefe men of the citie, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coastes.
51 Nipele, achinduna ŵala ŵakung'undile luundu mmakongolo gao kulosya kuti akanikwe, ni ŵajawile ku Ikonio.
But they shooke off the dust of their feete against them, and came vnto Iconium.
52 Nambo ŵakulijiganya ŵa Che Yesu ku Antiokia kula ŵasengwile ni kugumbala Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
And the disciples were filled with ioy, and with the holy Ghost.
