Masengo 15
1 Ŵaiche ŵandu ŵane ku Antiokia kutyochela ku Yudea ni kutanda kwajiganya achalongo ŵala achitiji, “Iŵaga ngammumbala malinga ni chisyoŵelo chiŵalamwile che Musa, ngankombola kukulupuka.”
Then came downe certaine from Iudea, and taught the brethren, saying, Except ye be circumcised after the maner of Moses, ye cannot be saued.
2 Che Paolo ni che Banaba ŵakanilanaga nawo yankati ngani jo, nipele ŵaasagwile che Paolo ni che Banaba pamo ni mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵampepe ŵa ku Antiokia ko ajaulangane kwa achinduna ni achachekulu ku Yelusalemu kukukunguluchila ngani jo.
And when there was great dissension, and disputation by Paul and Barnabas against them, they ordeyned that Paul and Barnabas, and certaine other of them, should goe vp to Hierusalem vnto the Apostles and Elders about this question.
3 Nipele mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵala ŵaalanjile, ni ŵanyawo ŵapite ku Foinike ni ku Samalia achisalaga yankati ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi iŵatite pakwagalauchila Akunnungu. Ni ngani jo jaasengwasisye nnope ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
Thus being brought forth by ye Church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conuersion of the Gentiles, and they brought great ioy vnto all the brethren.
4 Paŵaiche ku Yelusalemu, mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ni achinduna ni achachekulu ŵaapochele ŵanyawo, nombewo ŵaasalile yanayose iŵaitesile Akunnungu pamo nawo.
And when they were come to Hierusalem, they were receiued of the Church, and of the Apostles and Elders, and they declared what things God had done by them.
5 Ni ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵane ŵa mpingo wa Mafalisayo ŵajimi ni kuti, “Iŵajilwe ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi kwaumbasya ni kwajiganya kugakamulichisya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa.”
But said they, certaine of the sect of the Pharises, which did beleeue, rose vp, saying, that it was needefull to circumcise them, and to commaund them to keepe the lawe of Moses.
6 Nipele achinduna ni achachekulu ŵasongangene kuti asosesose yankati liloŵe lyo.
Then the Apostles and Elders came together to looke to this matter.
7 Paŵapundaga kuusyausyana, che Petulo ŵajimi ni kuti, “Achalongo achinjangu, mwachinsyene nkumanyilila kuti moŵa gagapite Akunnungu yanonyele kuusagula une pasikati jenu nalichile Ngani Jambone kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, kuti apilikane ni kukulupilila.
And when there had bene great disputation, Peter rose vp, and said vnto them, Ye men and brethren, ye know that a good while ago, among vs God chose out me, that the Gentiles by my mouth should heare the worde of the Gospel, and beleeue.
8 Nombe Akunnungu ŵakujimanyilila mitima ja ŵandu wose, ŵalosisye pangasisa kuti ŵapochele pakwapa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu mpela iŵatite pakutupa uweji.
And God which knoweth the heartes, bare them witnesse, in giuing vnto them ye holy Ghost euen as he did vnto vs.
9 Nganatenda lusagu pasikati jetu ni ŵanyawo, ŵajiswejesye mitima jao ligongo ŵakulupilile.
And he put no difference betweene vs and them, after that by faith he had purified their heartes.
10 Sambano, ana ligongo chi nkwalinga Akunnungu? Ana kwa chichi nkulinga kwatwika ŵakulijiganya ŵala misigo jakutopa janganakombola kutwichila achambuje ŵetu natamuno uweji?
Nowe therefore, why tempt ye God, to lay a yoke on the disciples neckes, which neither our fathers, nor we were able to beare?
11 Ikaŵaga yeleyo, nambo tukukulupilila kuti tutukulupuswe ni upile wa Ambuje Che Yesu, mpela ŵanyawo yakuti pakukulupilila.”
But we beleeue, through the grace of the Lord Iesus Christ to be saued, euen as they doe.
12 Mpingo wose wamyalele ni kwapilikanila che Banaba ni che Paolo ŵaŵaliji nkwatanjila imanyisyo ni yakusimonjeka yose yaitesile Akunnungu ni makono gao mwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.
Then all the multitude kept silence, and heard Barnabas and Paul, which told what signes and wonders God had done among the Gentiles by them.
13 Paŵamyalele, ŵatandite kuŵecheta che Yakobo kuti, “Achalongo achinjangu, mumbilikanile,
And when they helde their peace, Iames answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken vnto me.
14 Che Simoni jwakuŵilanjikwa che Petulo atusalile iŵatite Akunnungu kundanda pakwalola ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ni kwasagula ŵampepe mwa ŵelewo kuti aŵeje ŵao.
Simeon hath declared, howe God first did visite the Gentiles, to take of them a people vnto his Name.
15 Chelechi chikwilana ni maloŵe ga ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala,
And to this agree the woordes of the Prophets, as it is written,
16 Akunnungu akuti ‘Pakumala yelei chinjiuja, ni kutaŵa sooni lisakasa li che Daudi lilyagwile, chinjikolosya masame gakwe ni kutaŵa sooni.
After this I will returne, and will builde againe the tabernacle of Dauid, which is fallen downe, and the ruines thereof will I build againe, and I will set it vp,
17 Pelepo ŵandu ŵaŵasigele wose, ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi wose unaŵilasile aŵeje ŵandu ŵangu chiŵasose Ambuje.
That the residue of men might seeke after the Lord, and all the Gentiles vpon whom my Name is called, saith the Lord which doeth all these things.
18 Ambuje ni iyakuti pakusala, ŵelewo ni ŵaŵatesile yelei imanyiche chitandile kalakala ko.’” (aiōn g165)
From the beginning of the worlde, God knoweth all his workes. (aiōn g165)
19 Che Yakobo ŵapundile kuŵecheta, “Une ngulamula kuti, tukaasakalisya ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ŵakwagalauchila Akunnungu.
Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them of the Gentiles that are turned to God,
20 Nambo twalembele chikalata ni kwasalila kuti analye yakulya yaitajikwe mbopesi ku inyago, aleche chikululu ni akalya inyama yakupopotola ni kuleka kulya miasi.
But that we send vnto them, that they abstaine themselues from filthinesse of idoles, and fornication, and that that is strangled, and from blood.
21 Pakuŵa chitandile kalakala Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa galiji nkusyomekwa moŵa gose mmajumba ga kupopelela pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila lyalili lyose ni kulalichilwa mmisi jajili jose.”
For Moses of olde time hath in euery citie them that preache him, seeing he is read in the Synagogues euery Sabbath day.
22 Nipele, achinduna ni achachekulu pamo ni mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wose ŵa ku Yelusalemu ŵalamwile kwasagula ŵandu ŵampepe mwa achinsyene pe ni kwalajisya ku Antiokia pamo ni che Paolo ni che Banaba. Nipele ŵaasagwile che Yuda pane akummilanga che Balisaba ni che Sila, ŵanyawo ŵaliji ilongola mwa ŵa ŵandu ŵaŵankulupilile Kilisito.
Then it seemed good to the Apostles and Elders with the whole Church, to sende chosen men of their owne companie to Antiochia with Paul and Barnabas: to wit, Iudas whose surname was Barsabas and Silas, which were chiefe men among the brethren,
23 Nipele ŵapele chikalata chichalembekwe yele, “Uweji achinduna ni achachekulu, achalongo achinjenu, tukunkomasya mwanya achalongo achinjetu ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ŵa Ku Antiokia ni ku Silia ni ku Kilikia.
And wrote letters by them after this maner, THE APOSTLES, and the Elders, and the brethren, vnto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antiochia, and in Syria, and in Cilicia, send greeting.
24 Tupilikene kuti ŵandu ŵane ŵaŵatyosile kukwetu uwe ŵansakalisye ŵanyamwe ni kuntaga lipamba mitima jenu kwa maloŵe gao. Nambo ŵanyawo nganitwatuma kose.
Forasmuch as we haue heard, that certaine which went out from vs, haue troubled you with wordes, and cumbred your mindes, saying, Ye must be circumcised and keepe the Lawe: to whom we gaue no such commandement,
25 Nipele, tujilene kwa pamo kwasagula ŵandu ŵampepe ni kwatuma kukwenu pamo ni ŵakunonyelwa ŵetu che Banaba ni che Paolo,
It seemed therefore good to vs, when we were come together with one accord, to send chosen men vnto you, with our beloued Barnabas and Paul,
26 ŵandu ŵautyosisye umi wao kwaligongo lya masengo ga Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
Men that haue giuen vp their liues for the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ.
27 Nipele, twatumile che Yuda ni che Sila kukwenu, ŵele ŵanyawo chansalile itulembile yo kwa kang'wa syao.
We haue therefore sent Iudas and Silas, which shall also tell you ye same things by mouth.
28 Pakuŵa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu pamo ni uweji tujitichisye kuti tukaatwika nsigo wine wakutopela kupunda ayi inkusachilwa kuimanyilila.
For it seemed good to the holy Ghost, and to vs, to lay no more burden vpon you, then these necessary things,
29 Nkalya yakulya yaitajikwe mbopesi ku inyago ni nkalya miasi ni nkalya nyama ja inyama yakupopotola ni nneche chikululu. Chintende yambone naga chintende yeleyo, ntame kwa chitendewele.”
That is, that ye abstaine from things offered to idoles, and blood, and that that is strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keepe your selues, ye shall doe well. Fare ye well.
30 Paŵalanjile, ŵanyawo ŵatyosile ku Yelusalemu ni kutuluchila ku Antiokia, kwele ŵauŵilasile pamo mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wose, ni kwapa chikalata chila.
Nowe when they were departed, they came to Antiochia, and after that they had assembled the multitude, they deliuered the Epistle.
31 Ni paŵachisyomile chikalata chila, ŵasangalele kwannope ligongo maloŵe gakwe gaatulesye mitima.
And when they had read it, they reioyced for the consolation.
32 Che Yuda ni che Sila ŵaŵaliji ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu, ŵaajamwiche achalongo kwa maloŵe gamajinji ni kwalimbisya ŵandu ŵakukulupilila.
And Iudas and Silas being Prophets, exhorted the brethren with many wordes, and strengthened them.
33 Paŵatemi moŵa gampepe ku Antiokia, ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵaalanjile ajaulangane kwa chitendewele, kuuja kwa ŵaŵatumile ŵala.
And after they had taried there a space, they were let goe in peace of the brethren vnto the Apostles.
34 Nambo che Sila ŵasachile kusigala.
Notwithstanding Silas thought good to abide there still.
35 Che Paolo ni che Banaba ŵasigele ku Antiokia kwa moŵa, achijiganyaga ni kulalichila Liloŵe lya Ambuje pamo ni ŵandu ŵane.
Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antiochia, teaching and preaching with many other, the worde of the Lord.
36 Pagapite moŵa gampepe, che Paolo ŵansalile che Banaba, “Twende tuuje, tukaalole achinjetu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu ŵala ku misi jajili jose kutwalalichile Liloŵe lya Ambuje ni kulola yakuti pakwendelechela.”
But after certaine dayes, Paul said vnto Barnabas, Let vs returne, and visite our brethren in euery citie, where we haue preached the worde of the Lord, and see how they doe.
37 Nipele, che Banaba ŵasachile kwajigala che Yohana Maliko kuti alongane nawo.
And Barnabas counselled to take with them Iohn, called Marke.
38 Nambo che Paolo nganasaka kulongana ni che Maliko, ligongo ŵanlesile ku Pamfilia kundanda ni nganasaka kukamulangana pa masengo gao.
But Paul thought it not meete to take him vnto their companie, which departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the worke.
39 Nipele, ŵakanilene kwannope ni kulekangana matala. Che Banaba ŵalongene ni che Maliko, ŵakwesile ngalaŵa ni kwaula ku Kupulo.
Then were they so stirred, that they departed asunder one from the other, so that Barnabas tooke Marke, and sailed vnto Cyprus.
40 Nombe che Paolo ŵansagwile che Sila, ni ŵandu ŵakwakulupilila Che Yesu ŵa pelepo ŵampopelele apegwe upile wa Ambuje ni kwaula.
And Paul chose Silas and departed, being commended of the brethren vnto the grace of God.
41 Ni mu ulendo wo ŵajesile mu ilambo ya ku Silia ni ku Kilikia achalimbisyaga mipingo ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito mu ilambo yo.
And he went through Syria and Cilicia, stablishing the Churches.
