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.”
But men from Jihud came down and taught the brethren, If you be not circumcised after the custom of the law, you cannot be saved.
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 there were great agitation and disputation for Paulos and Bar Naba with them; and it was that Paulos and Bar Naba, and others with them, went up to the apostles and presbyters who were in Urishlem on account of 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.
And conducting, the church dismissed them; and they went through all Punika, and also among the Shomroyee, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles; and they caused great joy unto 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 came to Urishlem, they were received by the church, and by the apostles, and by the presbyters. And they recounted to them how much Aloha had done with 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 (that) certain had arisen who had believed from the doctrine of the Pharishee, and said, It behoved you to circumcise them, and require them to keep the law of Musha.
6 Nipele achinduna ni achachekulu ŵasongangene kuti asosesose yankati liloŵe lyo.
But the apostles and presbyters assembled to consider this doctrine.
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 been much investigation, Shemun arose, and said to them, Men, brethren, you know that from the first days from my mouth did Aloha choose that the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel and believe.
8 Nombe Akunnungu ŵakujimanyilila mitima ja ŵandu wose, ŵalosisye pangasisa kuti ŵapochele pakwapa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu mpela iŵatite pakutupa uweji.
And Aloha, who knoweth what is in the hearts, testified of them, and gave them the Spirit of Holiness, as to us.
9 Nganatenda lusagu pasikati jetu ni ŵanyawo, ŵajiswejesye mitima jao ligongo ŵakulupilile.
And nothing distinguished between us and them, because he had purified by faith their hearts.
10 Sambano, ana ligongo chi nkwalinga Akunnungu? Ana kwa chichi nkulinga kwatwika ŵakulijiganya ŵala misigo jakutopa janganakombola kutwichila achambuje ŵetu natamuno uweji?
And now why tempt you Aloha, that you would lay a yoke upon the necks of the disciples, which nor our fathers nor we could bear?
11 Ikaŵaga yeleyo, nambo tukukulupilila kuti tutukulupuswe ni upile wa Ambuje Che Yesu, mpela ŵanyawo yakuti pakukulupilila.”
But by the grace of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, we believe that we shall be saved, as they.
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.
And all the assembly were silent. And they listened to Paulos and Bar Naba, who related how Aloha had done by their hands signs and mighty works among the Gentiles.
13 Paŵamyalele, ŵatandite kuŵecheta che Yakobo kuti, “Achalongo achinjangu, mumbilikanile,
AND after they were silent, Jakub arose, and said, Men, brethren, hear me:
14 Che Simoni jwakuŵilanjikwa che Petulo atusalile iŵatite Akunnungu kundanda pakwalola ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ni kwasagula ŵampepe mwa ŵelewo kuti aŵeje ŵao.
Shemun hath related to you how Aloha hath begun to elect from the Gentiles a people to his name.
15 Chelechi chikwilana ni maloŵe ga ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala,
And with this accord the words of the prophets; as when it is written,
16 Akunnungu akuti ‘Pakumala yelei chinjiuja, ni kutaŵa sooni lisakasa li che Daudi lilyagwile, chinjikolosya masame gakwe ni kutaŵa sooni.
After these I will return, And raise the dwelling of David which hath fallen; And I will build that which hath fallen from it, And will raise it up:
17 Pelepo ŵandu ŵaŵasigele wose, ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi wose unaŵilasile aŵeje ŵandu ŵangu chiŵasose Ambuje.
That the residue of men may seek the Lord, And all the Gentiles, on whom my name is called,
18 Ambuje ni iyakuti pakusala, ŵelewo ni ŵaŵatesile yelei imanyiche chitandile kalakala ko.’” (aiōn g165)
Saith the Lord, who doeth all these. Known from eternity are the works of Aloha. (aiōn g165)
19 Che Yakobo ŵapundile kuŵecheta, “Une ngulamula kuti, tukaasakalisya ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ŵakwagalauchila Akunnungu.
On this account I say, that we should not molest those who from the Gentiles have been converted unto Aloha;
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 to them, that they shall separate from the uncleanness of (idol) sacrifice, and from fornication, and from the 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 Musha from former generations in all cities hath had preachers in the synagogues who on all shabaths read him.
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 the apostles and presbyters, with all the church, elected men from them, and sent to Antiokia with Paulos and Bar Naba Jihuda, who was called Bar Shaba, and Shilo, men who were chief 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 they wrote an epistle by their hands, thus: The apostles and presbyters and brethren, to those who are in Antiokia and in Syria and in Cilicia, the brethren who are of the Gentiles; peace.
24 Tupilikene kuti ŵandu ŵane ŵaŵatyosile kukwetu uwe ŵansakalisye ŵanyamwe ni kuntaga lipamba mitima jenu kwa maloŵe gao. Nambo ŵanyawo nganitwatuma kose.
It hath been heard by us, that men from us have gone forth and disturbed you with words, and have subverted your souls by saying, that you should be circumcised and observe the law, whom we have not commanded.
25 Nipele, tujilene kwa pamo kwasagula ŵandu ŵampepe ni kwatuma kukwenu pamo ni ŵakunonyelwa ŵetu che Banaba ni che Paolo,
On account of this we have deliberated, all being assembled, and have chosen men and sent them to you, with Paulos and Bar Naba, our beloved;
26 ŵandu ŵautyosisye umi wao kwaligongo lya masengo ga Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
men who have delivered their lives for the sake of the name of our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
27 Nipele, twatumile che Yuda ni che Sila kukwenu, ŵele ŵanyawo chansalile itulembile yo kwa kang'wa syao.
And we have sent with them Jihuda and Shilo, that by word they may tell you the same things.
28 Pakuŵa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu pamo ni uweji tujitichisye kuti tukaatwika nsigo wine wakutopela kupunda ayi inkusachilwa kuimanyilila.
For it hath been the will of the Spirit of Holiness, and also of us, not to lay upon you greater burden beyond these things which are constraining;
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 you abstain from that which hath been sacrificed (to idols), and from blood, and from that which is strangled, and from fornication; and while you keep yourselves from these, you will be well. Be confirmed in our Lord.
30 Paŵalanjile, ŵanyawo ŵatyosile ku Yelusalemu ni kutuluchila ku Antiokia, kwele ŵauŵilasile pamo mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wose, ni kwapa chikalata chila.
Now they who were sent came to Antiokia, and they assembled all the people and gave the epistle.
31 Ni paŵachisyomile chikalata chila, ŵasangalele kwannope ligongo maloŵe gakwe gaatulesye mitima.
And when they had read, they rejoiced and were comforted.
32 Che Yuda ni che Sila ŵaŵaliji ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu, ŵaajamwiche achalongo kwa maloŵe gamajinji ni kwalimbisya ŵandu ŵakukulupilila.
And by the word the brethren were the more strengthened, and Jihuda and Shilo established them because they were prophets also.
33 Paŵatemi moŵa gampepe ku Antiokia, ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵaalanjile ajaulangane kwa chitendewele, kuuja kwa ŵaŵatumile ŵala.
And when they had been there a time, the brethren dismissed them with peace unto the apostles.
34 Nambo che Sila ŵasachile kusigala.
35 Che Paolo ni che Banaba ŵasigele ku Antiokia kwa moŵa, achijiganyaga ni kulalichila Liloŵe lya Ambuje pamo ni ŵandu ŵane.
BUT Paulos and Bar Naba remained in Antiokia, and taught and preached, with many others, the word of Aloha.
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.”
And after (certain) days Paulos said to Bar Naba, Let us return and visit the brethren in every city in which we have preached the word of Aloha, and see what they do.
37 Nipele, che Banaba ŵasachile kwajigala che Yohana Maliko kuti alongane nawo.
But Bar Naba willed to take Juhanon, he who is surnamed Markos.
38 Nambo che Paolo nganasaka kulongana ni che Maliko, ligongo ŵanlesile ku Pamfilia kundanda ni nganasaka kukamulangana pa masengo gao.
But Paulos willed not to take him with them, because he had forsaken them when they were in Pamphylia, and had not come with them.
39 Nipele, ŵakanilene kwannope ni kulekangana matala. Che Banaba ŵalongene ni che Maliko, ŵakwesile ngalaŵa ni kwaula ku Kupulo.
On account of this contention they separated one from the other; and Bar Naba took Markos, and they went by sea and came to Cypros.
40 Nombe che Paolo ŵansagwile che Sila, ni ŵandu ŵakwakulupilila Che Yesu ŵa pelepo ŵampopelele apegwe upile wa Ambuje ni kwaula.
But Paulos chose for him Shilo, and went forth commended by the brethren to the grace of Aloha.
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, confirming the churches. And he came to Derbe the city, and to Lystra.
