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.
The same thing occurred in Iconium, where Paul and Barnabas went into the Jewish synagogue, and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed in Christ.
2 Nambo Ŵayahudi ŵangakwakulupilila Che Yesu ŵaachisisye ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi kuti ŵaachime che Paolo ni che Banaba.
But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the Gentiles, and poisoned their minds against the Lord’s followers.
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.
Therefore Paul and Barnabas spent a long time there, and spoke out fearlessly, relying on the Lord, who confirmed the message of his love by permitting signs and wonders to take place at their hands.
4 Nambo ŵandu wose ŵa musi wo ŵasapulene, ŵane ŵalumbikene ni Ŵayahudi ni ŵane ŵalumbikene ni achinduna ŵala.
But the townspeople were divided, some siding with the Jews, 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 attempt on the part of both Gentiles and Jews, with their leaders, to resort to violence 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,
the apostles heard of it, and took refuge in Lystra and Derbe, towns in Lycaonia, and in the district around,
7 ni ŵajendelechele kwalalichila ŵandu Ngani Jambone mmisi jo.
and there they continued to tell the good news.
8 Ku Lisita ko jwapali mundu juŵaliji jwakulemala, ni jwanganajenda kose chitandile kupagwa kwakwe.
In the streets of Lystra there used to sit a man who had no power in his feet; he had been lame from his birth, and 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, when Paul, looking intently at him, and seeing that he had the faith to be healed,
10 ŵaŵechete kwa kunyanyisya kuti, “Njime uchenene ni makongolo genu!” Papopo mundu jo ŵasumbile ni kutanda kwenda.
said loudly, “Stand upright on your feet.” The man leaped up, and began walking about,
11 Mpingo wa ŵandu ula paŵachiweni chiŵachipanganyisye che Paolo, ŵatandite kunyanyisya Mchilikaonia achitiji, “Achiminungu atutuluchile chisau ŵandu!”
and the crowd, seeing what Paul had done, called out in the Lycaonian language, “The Gods have come down to us in human form.”
12 Che Banaba ŵaŵilanjikwe Seu ni pakuŵa che Paolo ŵaliji jwakuŵecheta jwankulu, ŵaŵilanjikwe Helime.
So they called Barnabas ‘Zeus,’ and Paul ‘Hermes,’ because he took the lead in speaking;
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.
and the priest of Zeus-beyond-the-Walls, accompanied by the crowd, brought bullocks and garlands to the gates, with the intention of offering sacrifices.
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 out into the crowd. “Friends, why are you doing this?” they shouted.
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.
“We are only people like yourselves, and we have come with the good news that you should turn away from these follies to a living God, who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and everything that is in them.
16 Kalakala ko Akunnungu ŵaalesile ŵandu wose ŵa pachilambo atendekanye iŵasachile.
In bygone times he permitted all the nations to go 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.”
Yet he has not failed to give you, in the good he does, some revelation of himself – sending you from heaven rain and fruitful seasons, and gladdening your hearts with plenty and good cheer.”
18 Namuno achinduna ŵala ŵatite yeleyo, yalemile kwalekasya ŵandu ŵala akasaŵatajila mbopesi.
Even with this appeal they could hardly restrain the people from offering sacrifice 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.
Presently, however, there came some Jews from Antioch, and Iconium who, after they had won over the people, stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the town, 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, when the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the town; the next day he went 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.
After telling the good news throughout that town, and making a number of converts, they returned 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.”
reassuring the minds of the disciples, urging them to remain true to the faith, and showing that it is only through many troubles that we can 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.
They also appointed elders for them in every church, and, after prayer and fasting, commended them to the Lord in whom they had learned to believe.
24 Che Paolo ni che Banaba paŵapitaga ku Pisidia ŵaiche ku chilambo cha Pamfilia.
Paul and Barnabas then went through Pisidia, and came into Pamphylia,
25 Paŵamasile kulalichila Ngani Jambone kwa ŵandu ŵa ku Pega, ŵatuluchile ku Atalia.
and, after telling the message at Perga, went down to Attaleia.
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 – the place where they had been committed to the gracious care of God for the work which they had now finished.
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.
After their arrival, they gathered the church together, and gave an account of all that God had helped them to do, and especially how he had opened to the Gentiles the door of faith;
28 Nipele ŵatemi kweleko moŵa gamajinji pamo ni ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu.
and at Antioch they stayed with the disciples for a considerable time.
