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 now (some *k*) in Antioch in what is [the] church prophets and teachers, both Barnabas and Simeon who is being called Niger and Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen also — with Herod the tetrarch brought up — 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.”
As were ministering now they to the Lord and fasting said the Spirit Holy; do set apart then to Me (both *k*) Barnabas and (*k*) 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 having prayed and having laid the hands on them they sent [them] off.
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 themselves *N(k)O*) indeed therefore having been sent forth by of the Holy (the *k*) Spirit went down to (*k*) Seleucia, From there (then *NK(o)*) they sailed to (*k*) Cyprus.
5 Paŵaiche ku Salami, ŵaalalichile ŵandu Liloŵe lya Akunnungu mmajumba ga kupopelela Ŵayahudi, che Yohana Maliko ŵaliji pamo nawo nti jwakwatumichila.
And having come into Salamis they were proclaiming the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; They had now also John [as] a helper.
6 Paŵajesilejesile mchilumba chose mpaka ku Pafo, ŵansimene nsaŵi jumo Myahudi, jwakulondola jwa unami liina lyakwe Baliyesu.
Having passed through now (all *NO*) the island as far as Paphos they found (a man — *NO*) a certain magician a false prophet Jewish — whose name (of Bar-Jesus, *N(k)O*)
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, man an intelligent. He having called to [him] Barnabas and Saul desired to hear the word of God.
8 Nambo Elima nsaŵi jo, Elima Mchigiliki malumbo gakwe Jwakukanila, ŵasachile kunsiŵila jwankulu jwa chilumba anaukulupilile Ukilisito.
Was opposing however to them Elymas the magician — thus for means the name of him — seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith.
9 Nipele che Sauli jwakuŵilanjikwa che Paolo, ali aguumbele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, ŵankolondolele Elima,
Saul then also [called] Paul having been filled [the] Spirit Holy (and *k*) having looked intently 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, not will you cease perverting the ways (of the *no*) Lord upright?
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] hand (*k*) of the Lord [is] upon you, and you will be blind not seeing the sun during a season. Immediately (then descended *N(k)O*) upon him mist and darkness, and going about he was seeking one to lead by hand.
12 Jwankulu jwa chilumba jula paŵaiweni iyatendekwe yo, ŵankulupilile Che Yesu, ni ŵagasimosile nnope majiganyo gaŵagapilikene gankati Ambuje.
Then having seen the proconsul that having happened he believed being astonished 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.
Having sailed then from Paphos [with] those around [him] (*k*) Paul came to Perga of Pamphylia. John however having departed from them he 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.
They themselves now having passed through from Perga came to Antioch (Pisidia, *N(k)O*) and (having gone *NK(o)*) into the synagogue on the day of the Sabbaths 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.”
After then the reading of the law and of the Prophets sent the rulers of the synagogue to them saying; Men brothers, if any there is among you a word of exhortation toward the people, do speak.
16 Nipele, che Paolo ŵajimi, ŵajongwele nkono ni kutanda kuŵecheta, “Ŵanyamwe Ŵaisilaeli achinjangu ni wose unkwalamba Akunnungu, mpilikanichisye!
Having risen up then Paul and having made a sign with the hand he said; Men Israelites and you who [are] fearing God, do listen.
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 the people this of Israel chose the fathers of us and the people exalted in the sojourn in [the] land (of Egypt *N(k)O*) and with arm uplifted brought them out of it;
18 Ni ŵaapililile mwipululu mula kwa yaka alobaini.
and of about forty years for a period He endured the ways of them in the wilderness,
19 Nipele, ŵasijonasile ngosyo nsano ni siŵili sya mchilambo cha Kanaani ni ŵapele ŵanyawo chilambo cho kuti ajinjilanje majumba.
and having destroyed nations seven in [the] land of Canaan He gave as an inheritance (to them *k*) the land of them —
20 Yeleyo yatendekwe kwa yaka mia nne na hansini. “Payamasile yele Akunnungu ŵapele ŵakulamula kuti ŵaalongosye mpaka katema ka che Samweli jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
during years four hundred and fifty; And after these things He gave [them] judges until 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.
Then Then they asked for a king, and gave to them God Saul son of Kish, a man of [the] tribe of Benjamin, years forty;
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 David to them as king, to whom also He said having carried witness: I have found David the [son of] Jesse a man according to the heart of Mine, who will do all the will of Mine.
23 Kutyochela mu lukosyo lu che Daudi Akunnungu ŵaapele Ŵaisilaeli Nkulupusyo, jwelejo ali Che Yesu mpela iŵatite pakulanga.
Of this [man] the God of the seed according to promise (has brought *N(K)O*) to Israel ([the] Savior *NK(O)*) Jesus —
24 Che Yesu akanaŵe kugatanda masengo, ŵalongolele che Yohana achaalalichilaga ŵandu wose ŵa ku Isilaeli aleche sambi ni kubatiswa.
When was proclaiming John before [the] face of the coming of Him a 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.’
While then was fulfilling (*k*) John the course he was saying; (whom *N(k)O*) me myself do you suppose to be? Not am [he] I myself; but behold He comes after me myself of whom not I am worthy the sandal of the feet to untie.
26 “Achalongo achinjangu ŵanli ŵanache ŵa che Iblahimu, ni ŵanyamwe ŵanganimma Ŵayahudi ŵankwalamba Akunnungu! Au utenga wa ukulupusyo wu uiche kukwetu.
Men brothers, sons of [the] family of Abraham and you who [are] among you fearing God, (to us *N(K)O*) the message of the salvation this (was sent out. *N(k)O*)
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.
Those for dwelling in Jerusalem and the rulers of them Him not having known and the voices of the prophets that on every Sabbath are being read, having condemned [Him] they fulfilled [them];
28 Atamuno nganalisimana liwamba lyakuulagwa, nambo ŵaŵendile che Pilato aulajikwe.
And no cause of death having found they begged Pilate to execute him.
29 Paŵamalisisye kupanganya yanayose iyalembekwe mmalembelo yankati ŵelewo, nipele ŵaatulwisye pa nsalaba ni kwasika mu lilembe lya mbugu.
When then they had finished (all *N(k)O*) the [things] about Him written, having taken [Him] down from the tree they put [Him] in a tomb.
30 Nambo Akunnungu ŵansyusisye.
But God raised Him out 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.
who appeared for days many to those having come up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who (now *NO*) are witnesses of Him to the people.
32 Ni uweji tuiche pelepa kukwalalichila Ngani Jambone ja chilanga chiŵachiŵisile Akunnungu kwa achambuje ŵetu.
And we ourselves to you evangelise the to the fathers promise having been made,
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 this God has fulfilled to the children of them (to us *NK(O)*) having raised up Jesus, as also in the psalm it has been written in the (second *NK(O)*) Son of Mine are You yourself, I myself today have begotten you.’
34 Yankati kusyuka ku Che Yesu, kuti ngasawa sooni, Akunnungu ŵatite yelei, ‘Chinampe upile weswela wausyene unalanjile che Daudi.’
for then He raised Him out from [the] dead no more being about to return to decay, thus He has spoken that I will give to you the holy [blessings] of David the sure [blessings].’
35 Elo, ni mwine mwine mu Sabuli akuti, ‘Ngamunneka Jwanswela jwenu aweje.’
(therefore *N(k)O*) also in another He says: Not You will allow the Holy One of you to see decay.’
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.
David indeed for in his own generation having served the of God purpose he fell asleep and he was added to the fathers of him and saw decay;
37 Nambo, jwele juŵasyusikwe ni Akunnungu ngasawola.
The [One] however God raised up not did see decay.
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.
Known therefore it should be to you, men brothers, that through this One to you forgiveness of sins is proclaimed;
39 Jwalijose juchankulupilile Jwelejo chaŵalanjikwe ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu chindu chati Malajisyo ga che Musa ngagakukombola kuchipanganya.
And from all things from which not you were able in (the *k*) law of Moses to be justified, in Him everyone who is believing is justified.
40 Nipele, nlilolechesye chikansimana chechila chiŵachisasile ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu,
do take heed therefore lest may come about (upon you *K*) that said in the prophets:
41 ‘Mpilikanichisye ŵanyamwe ŵakulikanganichila, nsimonje nkawe! Pakuŵa chindu chinguchipanganya, mmoŵa ga, chindu cho ngankajitichisye atamuno mundu akansalile.’”
Behold! you scoffers, and do wonder and do perish for a work am working I myself in the days of you, a work (that *N(k)O*) certainly not you may believe even if one shall 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.
When are departing then (they *no*) (from the *k*) (synagogue *K*) (of the *k*) (Jews *K*) were begging (the gentiles *K*) on the next Sabbath to be spoken to them declarations these.
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.
When was releasing then the synagogue followed many of the Jews and of the worshipping converts after Paul and after Barnabas, who speaking to them were persuading them (to continue *N(k)O*) in the grace of God.
44 Ni Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila liine, ŵandu ŵajinji, chiŵandi kwichila musi wose ŵasongangene kukupilikanila Liloŵe lya Ambuje.
On the (now *NK(o)*) coming Sabbath almost all the city was gathered together to hear the word (of the Lord. *N(K)O*)
45 Nambo Ŵayahudi paŵauweni mpingo wa ŵandu wo ŵagumbele wiu, nipele ŵachikanile chichasalaga che Paolo ni kwatukana.
Having seen however the Jews the crowds they were filled with jealousy and were contradicting the [things] by (*k*) Paul (spoken *N(k)O*) (denying and *K*) denigrating [him].
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)
Having spoken boldly (also *N(k)O*) Paul and Barnabas said; To you it was necessary first to be spoken the word of God; but since (now *ko*) you thrust away it and not worthy you judge yourselves of eternal life, behold we are turning to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
47 Pakuŵa Ambuje atulajisye yelei, ‘Nambisile mmweji kuŵa lilanguka kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, kuti ŵandu wose ŵa pachilambo akulupuswe.’”
Thus for has commanded us the Lord: I have set you for a light of [the] Gentiles to be you for salvation until [the] uttermost part 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)
Hearing [it] then the Gentiles (were rejoicing *NK(o)*) and they were glorifying the word of the (Lord *NK(O)*) and they believed as many as were appointed to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
49 Liloŵe lya Ambuje lyajenele mchilambo chila chose.
Was carried then the word of the Lord through all the region.
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.
The but Jews incited the worshipping women (and *k*) [those] prominent and the principals of the city and they stirred up a persecution against Paul and (*k*) Barnabas and expelled them from the district of them.
51 Nipele, achinduna ŵala ŵakung'undile luundu mmakongolo gao kulosya kuti akanikwe, ni ŵajawile ku Ikonio.
But having shaken off the dust of the feet (of them *k*) against them they went to Iconium.
52 Nambo ŵakulijiganya ŵa Che Yesu ku Antiokia kula ŵasengwile ni kugumbala Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
(and *N(k)O*) the disciples were filled with joy and [the] Spirit Holy.
