Masengo 14

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.

Now it happened in Iconium that they went together into the synagogue of the Jews, and they spoke to such effect that a large number of both Jews and Greeks believed.

2 Nambo Ŵayahudi ŵangakwakulupilila Che Yesu ŵaachisisye ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi kuti ŵaachime che Paolo ni che Banaba.

But the disobedient Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.

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.

Even so they stayed there a considerable time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who was bearing witness to the word of His grace, giving signs and wonders to take place by their hands.

4 Nambo ŵandu wose ŵa musi wo ŵasapulene, ŵane ŵalumbikene ni Ŵayahudi ni ŵane ŵalumbikene ni achinduna ŵala.

Well the population of the city became divided; some sided with the Jews, others 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.

But when a plot was hatched by both Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to mistreat and 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 became aware of it and escaped to the cities of Lycaonia—Lystra, Derbe and the surrounding area—

7 ni ŵajendelechele kwalalichila ŵandu Ngani Jambone mmisi jo.

where they continued to preach the Gospel.

8 Ku Lisita ko jwapali mundu juŵaliji jwakulemala, ni jwanganajenda kose chitandile kupagwa kwakwe.

Well in Lystra a certain man with helpless feet was sitting (lame from his mother's womb, who had never walked).

9 Mundu jo ŵampilikanichisye che Paolo paŵalalichilaga. Nipele che Paolo ŵanlolechesye uchenene, ni paŵaimanyilile kuti akwete chikulupi chakombola kulamwa,

This man was listening to Paul speaking; who looking intently at 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 up straight on your feet!” And the man jumped up and began to walk!

11 Mpingo wa ŵandu ula paŵachiweni chiŵachipanganyisye che Paolo, ŵatandite kunyanyisya Mchilikaonia achitiji, “Achiminungu atutuluchile chisau ŵandu!”

Now when the crowd saw what Paul had done, they raised their voices, saying in Lycaonian, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”

12 Che Banaba ŵaŵilanjikwe Seu ni pakuŵa che Paolo ŵaliji jwakuŵecheta jwankulu, ŵaŵilanjikwe Helime.

And Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the 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.

Then the priest of Zeus, whose temple was in front of their city, brought bulls and garlands to the gates, intending to make a sacrifice, along with the crowd.

14 Nambo che Banaba ni che Paolo paŵajipilikene ngani jo ŵapapwile iwalo yao ni ŵautuchile kwauli mpingo wa ŵandu kula achinyanyisyaga,

But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes and rushed into the crowd, crying out

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: “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with the same nature as you, giving you good news, telling you to turn from these useless things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them;

16 Kalakala ko Akunnungu ŵaalesile ŵandu wose ŵa pachilambo atendekanye iŵasachile.

who in the former generations allowed all the ethnic 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 did not leave Himself without witness, doing good, giving you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”

18 Namuno achinduna ŵala ŵatite yeleyo, yalemile kwalekasya ŵandu ŵala akasaŵatajila mbopesi.

Even saying these things, they barely stopped the crowd 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.

Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came, and having persuaded the crowd and having stoned Paul, they dragged him out of the city, supposing him to have died.

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 around him, he got up and entered the city. 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.

When they had evangelized that city and discipled a good number, they returned to Lystra and Iconium and 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.”

strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, “We must go through many hardships to enter 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.

When they had appointed elders for them in every congregation, having prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord into whom they had believed.

24 Che Paolo ni che Banaba paŵapitaga ku Pisidia ŵaiche ku chilambo cha Pamfilia.

After going through Pisidia, they came to Pamphilia.

25 Paŵamasile kulalichila Ngani Jambone kwa ŵandu ŵa ku Pega, ŵatuluchile ku Atalia.

When they had declared the Word in Perga, they went down to 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.

From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work that they had completed.

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.

So upon arriving and gathering the congregation, they reported all that God had done with them, and that He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.

28 Nipele ŵatemi kweleko moŵa gamajinji pamo ni ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu.

And they stayed there a long time with the disciples.
