1 Nipele, ku Ikonio ko che Paolo ni che Banaba ŵajawile mu nyuumba ja kupopelela Ŵayahudi mpela iŵatite pakusyoŵelela ni kuŵecheta pangali lipamba, mpaka Ŵayahudi ŵajinji ni Ŵagiliki ŵakulupilile.
And it came to pass in Iconium, that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a very great multitude both of the Jews and of the Greeks did believe.
2 Nambo Ŵayahudi ŵangakwakulupilila Che Yesu ŵaachisisye ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi kuti ŵaachime che Paolo ni che Banaba.
But the unbelieving Jews stirred up and incensed the minds of the Gentiles against the brethren.
3 Che Paolo ni che Banaba ŵatemi kweleko moŵa gamajinji. Ŵaŵechete pangali lipamba yankati Ambuje, ni Ambuje wo ŵalosisye pangasisa usyene wa utenga waujenesye nkati upile wao, kwa kwakombolechesya kutendekanya imanyisyo ni yakusimonjeka.
A long time therefore they abode there, dealing confidently in the Lord, who gave testimony to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4 Nambo ŵandu wose ŵa musi wo ŵasapulene, ŵane ŵalumbikene ni Ŵayahudi ni ŵane ŵalumbikene ni achinduna ŵala.
And the multitude of the city was divided; and some of them indeed held with the Jews, but some with the apostles.
5 Nipele, ŵampepe mwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ni Ŵayahudi pamo ni ilongola ŵao, ŵalamwile kwapanganyichisya yangalumbana achinduna ŵala ni kwaulaga kwa kwaputa maganga.
And when there was an assault made by the Gentiles and the Jews with their rulers, to use them contumeliously, and to stone them:
6 Achinduna nkumanyilila yeleyo ni ŵautuchile kuchilambo cha ku Likaonio mmisi ja ku Lisita ni ku Debe, ni ilambo yaili mumbali mwakwe,
They understanding it, fled to Lystra, and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the whole country round about,
7 ni ŵajendelechele kwalalichila ŵandu Ngani Jambone mmisi jo.
and were there preaching the gospel.
8 Ku Lisita ko jwapali mundu juŵaliji jwakulemala, ni jwanganajenda kose chitandile kupagwa kwakwe.
And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.
9 Mundu jo ŵampilikanichisye che Paolo paŵalalichilaga. Nipele che Paolo ŵanlolechesye uchenene, ni paŵaimanyilile kuti akwete chikulupi chakombola kulamwa,
This same heard Paul speaking. Who looking upon him, and seeing that he had faith to be healed,
10 ŵaŵechete kwa kunyanyisya kuti, “Njime uchenene ni makongolo genu!” Papopo mundu jo ŵasumbile ni kutanda kwenda.
Said with a loud voice: Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped up, and walked.
11 Mpingo wa ŵandu ula paŵachiweni chiŵachipanganyisye che Paolo, ŵatandite kunyanyisya Mchilikaonia achitiji, “Achiminungu atutuluchile chisau ŵandu!”
And when the multitudes had seen what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice in the Lycaonian tongue, saying: The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men;
12 Che Banaba ŵaŵilanjikwe Seu ni pakuŵa che Paolo ŵaliji jwakuŵecheta jwankulu, ŵaŵilanjikwe Helime.
And they called Barnabas, Jupiter: but Paul, Mercury; because he was chief speaker.
13 Ni jŵambopesi jwa nyuumba ja nnungu Seu jijaliji paasa pa musi, ŵajigele ng'ombe ni uluŵa paujo pa nnango wekulungwa wa musi, nsyene pamo ni mpingo wa ŵandu ula ŵasachile ŵatajile mbopesi che Paolo ni che Banaba.
The priest also of Jupiter that was before the city, bringing oxen and garlands before the gate, would have offered sacrifice with the people.
14 Nambo che Banaba ni che Paolo paŵajipilikene ngani jo ŵapapwile iwalo yao ni ŵautuchile kwauli mpingo wa ŵandu kula achinyanyisyaga,
Which, when the apostles Barnabas and Paul had heard, rending their clothes, they leaped out among the people, crying,
15 alinkuti, “Mwanya, ana ligongo chi nkutendekanya yelei? Noweji tuli ŵandu pe mpela ŵanyamwe. Ni sooni tuiche pelepa kukunlalichila Ngani Jambone kuti nneche inyago pe ni kwagalauchila Akunnungu ŵaali ŵajumi, ŵaŵagumbile kwinani ni chilambo ni mbwani ni yose yaili mwelemo.
And saying: Ye men, why do ye these things? We also are mortals, men like unto you, preaching to you to be converted from these vain things, to the living God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them:
16 Kalakala ko Akunnungu ŵaalesile ŵandu wose ŵa pachilambo atendekanye iŵasachile.
Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.
17 Natamuno yeleyo Akunnungu nganaleka kulilosya kwakwapanganyichisya yambone, achanyesyesyaga ula kutyochela kwinani ni kwapa masika gambone kwa katema kakwe, akumpa yakulya ni kungumbasya kusengwa mmitima jenu.”
Nevertheless he left not himself without testimony, doing good from heaven, giving rains and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.
18 Namuno achinduna ŵala ŵatite yeleyo, yalemile kwalekasya ŵandu ŵala akasaŵatajila mbopesi.
And speaking these things, they scarce restrained the people from sacrificing to them.
19 Nambo ŵaiche Ŵayahudi ŵampepe kutyochela ku Antiokia ni ku Ikonio, ni ŵanyenjile ŵandu ŵapanganyichisye yangalimate che Paolo ni che Banaba. Ni ŵamponyile che Paolo maganga ni kwautila paasa musi achiganisyaga kuti awile.
Now there came thither certain Jews from Antioch, and Iconium: and persuading the multitude, and stoning Paul, drew him out of the city, thinking him to be dead.
20 Nambo ŵandu ŵakwakulupilila Che Yesu paŵansyungwile, ŵajimwiche ni kwinjila mmusi. Malaŵi jakwe ŵatyosile pamo ni che Banaba kwaula ku Debe.
But as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up and entered into the city, and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 Che Paolo ni che Banaba ŵaalalichile ŵandu Ngani Jambone ku Debe ko ni kwapata ŵakulijiganya ŵajinji, nipele ŵaujile ku Antiokia achipitilaga ku Lisita ni ku Ikonio.
And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch:
22 Ni ŵaalimbisye ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu ŵa misi jo ni kwatulasya ntima kuti atame mchikulupi nkulimbangana. Ni ŵaasalile, “Tukusachilwa kugapitila masausyo gamajinji kuti tujinjile mu Umwenye wa Akunnungu.”
Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith: and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.
23 Che Paolo ni che Banaba paŵamasile kwasagula achakulu mu kila mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito, ŵapopele ni kutaŵa nipele ŵaapopelele kwa Ambuje ŵaŵakulupilile kuti chiŵaagose.
And when they had ordained to them priests in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, in whom they believed.
24 Che Paolo ni che Banaba paŵapitaga ku Pisidia ŵaiche ku chilambo cha Pamfilia.
And passing through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia.
25 Paŵamasile kulalichila Ngani Jambone kwa ŵandu ŵa ku Pega, ŵatuluchile ku Atalia.
And having spoken the word of the Lord in Perge, they went down into Attalia:
26 Kutyochela ku Atalia ŵajendelechele ni ulendo kwa ngalaŵa jajikulungwa ni kuuja ku Antiokia kuŵaŵisilwe mmakono ga Akunnungu ni kupegwa upile kwa ligongo lya masengo gagali gamamale.
And thence they sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been delivered to the grace of God, unto the work which they accomplished.
27 Che Paolo ni che Banaba paŵaiche ku Antiokia ko, ŵasongangenye mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵa pelepo, nipele ŵaasalile yanayose iŵaitesile Akunnungu pamo nawo, ni iŵatite pakwaugulila litala ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ŵakulupilile Che Yesu.
And when they were come, and had assembled the church, they related what great things God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
28 Nipele ŵatemi kweleko moŵa gamajinji pamo ni ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu.
And they abode no small time with the disciples.
