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.
In Iconium the same thing happened. Paul and Barnabas went to the Jewish synagogue and spoke so convincingly that many of both the Jewish and Greek-speaking worshipers trusted in Jesus.
2 Nambo Ŵayahudi ŵangakwakulupilila Che Yesu ŵaachisisye ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi kuti ŵaachime che Paolo ni che Banaba.
But the Jews that refused to believe in Jesus stirred up the feelings of the foreigners, and poisoned them against the believers.
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.
Paul and Barnabas stayed there a long time, speaking to them boldly in the Lord, who confirmed their message of grace through the miraculous signs that they were enabled to perform.
4 Nambo ŵandu wose ŵa musi wo ŵasapulene, ŵane ŵalumbikene ni Ŵayahudi ni ŵane ŵalumbikene ni achinduna ŵala.
The inhabitants of the town were divided, with some supporting the Jews and some 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 then the foreigners and the Jews, together with their leaders, decided to attack and stone Paul and Barnabas.
6 Achinduna nkumanyilila yeleyo ni ŵautuchile kuchilambo cha ku Likaonio mmisi ja ku Lisita ni ku Debe, ni ilambo yaili mumbali mwakwe,
However, they found out about it and fled to the region of Lycaonia, to the towns of Lystra and Derbe,
7 ni ŵajendelechele kwalalichila ŵandu Ngani Jambone mmisi jo.
where they continued to share the good news.
8 Ku Lisita ko jwapali mundu juŵaliji jwakulemala, ni jwanganajenda kose chitandile kupagwa kwakwe.
In the town of Lystra there was a disabled man who was lame in both feet. He had been crippled from birth and had never been able to walk.
9 Mundu jo ŵampilikanichisye che Paolo paŵalalichilaga. Nipele che Paolo ŵanlolechesye uchenene, ni paŵaimanyilile kuti akwete chikulupi chakombola kulamwa,
He sat there listening to Paul speaking. When Paul looked directly at him, and realized that the man was trusting in God to heal him,
10 ŵaŵechete kwa kunyanyisya kuti, “Njime uchenene ni makongolo genu!” Papopo mundu jo ŵasumbile ni kutanda kwenda.
Paul said in a loud voice, “Stand up on your feet!” The man jumped to his feet and started walking.
11 Mpingo wa ŵandu ula paŵachiweni chiŵachipanganyisye che Paolo, ŵatandite kunyanyisya Mchilikaonia achitiji, “Achiminungu atutuluchile chisau ŵandu!”
When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they shouted out in the language of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us looking like men!”
12 Che Banaba ŵaŵilanjikwe Seu ni pakuŵa che Paolo ŵaliji jwakuŵecheta jwankulu, ŵaŵilanjikwe Helime.
They identified Barnabas as the Greek god Zeus, and Paul as the god Hermes because he was one who did most of the talking.
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 of the temple of Zeus that lay just outside the town, brought oxen and wreaths to the town gates. He planned to carry out a sacrifice in front of the crowds.
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 learned what was happening, they tore their clothes, and rushed into the crowds, shouting 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.
“People, what are you doing? We are human beings with the same kind of nature as you. We came to bring you good news, so you could turn from these pointless things to a God who is truly alive. He is the one who made heaven, earth, and sea, and everything in them.
16 Kalakala ko Akunnungu ŵaalesile ŵandu wose ŵa pachilambo atendekanye iŵasachile.
In past times he allowed all the nations to follow 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.”
Even so he still provided evidence of himself by doing good, sending you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons, providing all the food you need, and filling you with happiness.”
18 Namuno achinduna ŵala ŵatite yeleyo, yalemile kwalekasya ŵandu ŵala akasaŵatajila mbopesi.
With these words they barely managed to stop the crowds from offering sacrifices 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.
But then some Jews from Antioch and Iconium arrived and won over the crowds. They stoned Paul, and dragged him outside the town, thinking he was dead.
20 Nambo ŵandu ŵakwakulupilila Che Yesu paŵansyungwile, ŵajimwiche ni kwinjila mmusi. Malaŵi jakwe ŵatyosile pamo ni che Banaba kwaula ku Debe.
But when the believers gathered around him, he got up, and went back into the city. The next day he and Barnabas left for 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.
After sharing the good news with the people in that town, and after many had become believers, they went back to Lystra, 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.”
They encouraged the believers to remain firm and to continue to trust in Jesus. “We have to go through many trials to enter God's kingdom,” they said.
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.
After they had appointed elders for every church, and had prayed and fasted with them, Paul and Barnabas left them in the Lord's care, the one that they trusted in.
24 Che Paolo ni che Banaba paŵapitaga ku Pisidia ŵaiche ku chilambo cha Pamfilia.
They passed through Pisidia, and arrived in Pamphylia.
25 Paŵamasile kulalichila Ngani Jambone kwa ŵandu ŵa ku Pega, ŵatuluchile ku Atalia.
They spoke God's word in Perga, and then went on 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 back to Antioch where they had started out, having been dedicated there in God's grace to the work they had now 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.
When they arrived, they called the church together. They reported everything God had done through them, and how he had opened a door for the foreigners to trust in him.
28 Nipele ŵatemi kweleko moŵa gamajinji pamo ni ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu.
They stayed there with the believers for a long time.
