Acts 13
1 Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
Mu mubungano waku Antiyokeya mwalikuba bashinshimi ne beshikwiyisha aba; Banabasi ne Shimoni walikukwiweti muntu mushipa, ne Lusiya waku Kulene, ne Manaeni uyo walalelwa pamo ne Mwami Helode, kayi ne Saulo.
2 As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them.”
Busuba nabumbi mpobalabungana kwambeti bamutembaule Lesa, ne kwambeti balikanishe kulya cakulya, Mushimu Uswepa walabambileti, “Kamumbikilani palubasu Banabasi ne Saulo, kwambeti benga basebense ncito njendalabakuwila.”
3 Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
Lino panyuma pakulikanisha kulya ne kupaila ne kubika makasa palyendibo, balabatuma.
4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.
Banabasi ne Saulo, balatumwa ne Mushimu Uswepa, balaya ku Selukeya. Kufuma uko balatanta bwato ne kuya kushika pansumbu ya Saipulasi.
5 When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed God’s word in the Jewish synagogues. They also had John as their attendant.
Mpobalashika mu munshi wa Salamu, balakambauka maswi a Lesa mu manda akupaililamo a Bayuda. Balikuba ne Yohane uyo walikubanyamfwilisha.
6 When they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar Jesus,
Balendana pansumbu ponse, mpaka balashika ku munshi wa Pafosi. Uko nkobalacana mung'anga, lina lyakendi, Bala-yesu Muyuda, mushinshimi mubepeshi.
7 who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.
Uyu muntu walikuba munendi Mwendeleshi Selegiyo Paulo, muntu wacenjela. Uyu Selegiyo Paulo, walakuwa Banabasi ne Saulo, pakwinga walikuyandishisha kunyumfwa maswi a Lesa.
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
Elimasi mung'anga usa, Elimasi nilina nalimbi lya Bala-Yesu mu Cigiliki. Walatotekana nabo, kwelekesha kushinkilisha mwendeleshi kwambeti katashoma muli Yesu.
9 But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him
Nomba Saulo, uyo walikukwiweti Paulo, walesulilwa ne Mushimu Uswepa, walamulangishisha
10 and said, “You son of the devil, full of all deceit and all cunning, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
walamwambileti, “Obe mwanendi Muyungaushi, mulwani wabululami, obe weshikulicenjelesha ne bwipishi, nukaleke lilyoni kufulunganya makani akubinga a Mwami Lesa?
11 Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season!” Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
Pacindi copele cino Mwami Lesa nakomboloshe ne kukupa mulandu, nushipilwe nteti ulibonepo lisuba kwakacindi kang'ana.” Popelapo mushinshe wa shikunku walamufweka mumenso. Elimasi walashipilwa walatatika kulipuntapunta, kulangaula muntu welela kumutanguninako kaliwamwikata kucikasa.
12 Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
Mwendeleshi usa mpwalabona calenshika, walashoma. Walakankamana pakunyumfwa mbyobalikwiyisha bya Mwami Yesu.
13 Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
Paulo ne banendi balatanta bwato ku Pafosi kuya ku Pega, mucibela ca Pamfiliya. Nomba Yohane walabashiya walabwela combenyuma ku Yelusalemu.
14 But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.
Mpobalafuma ku Pega, balapitilila mpaka balashika ku Antiyokeya mucibela ca Pisidiya. Pa busuba bwa Sabata balengila mu ng'anda mobalikupailila Bayuda, balekala panshi.
15 After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak.”
Bamakulene bang'anda yakupaililamo mpobalabelenga maswi mulibuku lya Milawo ya Mose, ne mulibuku lyabashinshimi bakulukulu, balabatumina maswi akwambeti, “Mobanse, na mukutepo maswi akuyuminishako bantu balikuno, tulamusengenga ngamwambapo.”
16 Paul stood up, and gesturing with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.
Popelapo Paulo walanyamuka ne kubamweneka bantu ne makasa ne kwambeti. “Amwe Baislayeli baname, ne njamwe mwense mukute kutembaula Lesa, kamunyumfwani!
17 The God of this people chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as aliens in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it.
Lesa wamushobo wetu afwe Baislayeli, walasala bamashali betu bakulukulu, walabafulisha kabacili bensu mucishi ca Injipito. Walabapulisha mucishico ne cikasa cakendi cangofu.
18 For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.
Walabalama cena byaka makumi ana mucinyika, nikukabeti balikwalilwa kumunyumfwila.
19 When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land for an inheritance for about four hundred fifty years.
Lesa walashina mishobo isanu ne ibili ya bantu balikwikala mucishi ca Kenani, walabalamuna cishico ne kupa Baislayeli kuba cishi cabo.”
20 After these things, he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.
“Ibi byonse byalamanta byaka pepi myanda ina ne makumi asanu. Kufumapo walabapa bomboloshi kushika kucindi ca Samiyele.
21 Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
Bantu balasenga kwambeti Lesa abape Mwami, neco Lesa walabapa Saulo, mwanendi Kisi, wamucikombo ca Benjameni, uyo walabendelesha byaka makumi ana.
22 When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’
Kufumapo Lesa walamufulapo Saulo, ne kubikapo Dafeti kuba Mwami wabo. Pali Dafeti Lesa walambeti, ‘Ndacana Dafeti, mwanendi Jese, emuntu ngonsuni, kayi nakense bintu byonse mbyondayandanga.’
23 From this man’s offspring, God has brought salvation to Israel according to his promise,
Kufuma mubashikululwa bamucikombo ca Dafeti, Lesa walasalamo Yesu kuba Mupulushi wa Baislayeli, mbuli ncalalaya.
24 before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to Israel.
Yesu katanatatika ncito, Yohane walikukambaukila Baislayeli bonse, kwambeti basanduke kushiya bwipishi bwabo ne kubatishiwa.
25 As John was fulfilling his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, one comes after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’
Cindi Yohane ncalikuba pepi kupwisha ncito yakendi, walabepusha bantu, ‘Inga amwe mulayeyengeti ame njame bani? Ame ntame uyo ngomulapembelelenga sobwe. Nsombi palesanga naumbi panyuma pakame, ngondelela kubula kufulula nkwabilo shakendi.”
26 “Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to you.
“Mobanse, mobashikululwa ba Abulahamu, ne njamwe mwense mukute kukambilila Lesa, ni kuli njafwe Lesa nkwalatumini mulumbe uwu walupulusho.
27 For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.
Bantu bekala mu Yelusalemu ne batangunishi baliya kumwinshiba Yesu, kayi baliya kwanyumfwishisha maswi abashinshimi bakulukulu awo ngobalikubelenga pabusuba bwa Sabata bulibonse. kakuli balakwanilisha calambwa ne bashinshimi bakulukulu, pakumombolosha Yesu kwambeti ashiniwe.”
28 Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
Nikukabeti baliya kucana mulandu welela lufu, balamusenga Pilato kwambeti Yesuyo ashiniwe.
29 When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.
Mpobalapwisha kwinsa byonse, mbuli ncebyalembwa mu Mabala a Lesa bilambanga sha Yesu, abo balikukonkela kwiyisha kwakendi, balamuselushapo palusanda, ne kuya kumubika mumanda.
30 But God raised him from the dead,
Nomba Lesa walamupundusha kubafu,
31 and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.
walabonekela kwa masuba angi ku bantu basa balikumushindikila kufuma ku Galileya kuya ku Yelusalemu katanafwa. Bantu aba ebakamboni bakendi kubantu bamu Islayeli.
32 We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,
Neco afwe tulesa kukambauka Mulumbe Waina wa bishomesho Lesa mbyalalaya bamashali betu bakulukulu.
33 that God has fulfilled this to us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, ‘You are my Son. Today I have become your father.’
Ibyo mbyalalaya latwinshili afwe, tobashukululwa babo, pakumupundusha Yesu kubafu. Mbuli ncecalembwa Mukutembaula kwacibili kwambeti, Obe omwaname, lelo ndaba baiso.
34 “Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.’
Lesa walamupundusha Yesu kubafu kwambeti katabola sobwe. Calenshika mbuli ncalambeti, Ninkakupe colwe caswepa, kayi cancinencine, ico ncendalamulaya Dafeti.
35 Therefore he says also in another psalm, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’
Ecebo cakendi Mukutembaula nakumbi kayi walambeti, Nteti mukalekelele Musebenshi wenu Washomeka kwambeti akabole.
36 For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, was laid with his fathers, and saw decay.
Awa maswi nkalambanga sha Dafeti, pakwinga Dafeti mubuyumi bwakendi mpwalakwanilisha kusebensa ncito njalamubambila Lesa, walafwa ne kubikwa mu manda uko nkobalabikwa bamashali bakulukulu, mubili wakendi walabola.
37 But he whom God raised up saw no decay.
Nomba usa ngwalapundusha Lesa kubafu, mubili wakendi uliya kubolapo sobwe.
38 Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins;
Neco mobanse bame, kamwinshibani kwambeti, kupitila muli Yesu, Lesa lamulekelelenga bwipishi bwenu, ici encotulakambaukunga kulinjamwe.
39 and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Uliyense washoma Yesu walulamikwa pamenso a Lesa, uko nkomwelela kubula kukucana pakukonka Milawo ya Mose.
40 Beware therefore, lest that come on you which is spoken in the prophets:
Amwe cenjelani, kwambeti byalambwa ne bashinshimi bakulukulu bikabule kwinshika kuli njamwe, Ibyo mbyebalambeti,
41 ‘Behold, you scoffers! Wonder and perish, for I work a work in your days, a work which you will in no way believe, if one declares it to you.’”
“Kamunyumfwani amwe beshikucobola! Mukankamane ne kufwililila! Pakwinga mucindi cabuyumi bwenu ame ninkensepo cintu nceti mukabule kushoma sobwe, nambi muntu naumbi umusansulwila.”
42 So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.
Paulo ne Banabasi mpobalikupula mung'anda yakupaililamo Bayuda, basa bantu balabasenga kwambeti bakese kayi pa Sabata, kwisa kupitilisha kukambauka pabintu ibi.
43 Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
Nomba bantu mpobalamwaika, Bayuda bangi pamo ne bantu nabambi balikukambilila Lesa balikukonkela ciyisho ca Bayuda, balakonkela Paulo ne Banabasi. Bantu aba babili balambila likoto lya bantu, ne kubayuminisha kwambeti bapitilishe kushoma munkumbo sha Lesa.
44 The next Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.
Mpobwalashika busuba bwa Sabata, bantu bonse ba mumunshi uwo balabungana kwambeti banyumfwe maswi a Mwami.
45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.
Nomba Bayuda basa mpobalabona likoto lyabantu, balanyumfwa munyono. Balatatika kumutoteka Paulo mbyalikwamba, kayi balamucobola.
46 Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, "It was necessary that God's word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from yourselves, and judge yourselves unworthy of consummate (aiōnios g166) life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.
Paulo ne Banabasi balamba kwakubula buyowa, balambeti, “Cakubinga calikuba celela kwambeti tukambauke maswi a Lesa kulinjamwe nanshi. Nomba bonani mulakana mobene, mulalileshe mobene kwambeti nkamwelela kutambula buyumi butapu, nitumushiye, nitwenga kubantu bakunsa.” (aiōnios g166)
47 For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, ‘I have set you as a light for the Gentiles, that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.’”
Pakwinga Mwami walatwambileti, Ndakubiki kwambeti umunikile bantu bakunsa, Kwambeti bantu balimucishi conse bakapuluke pacebo cakobe.
48 As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of God. As many as were appointed to consummate (aiōnios g166) life believed.
Mpobalanyumfweco bantu bakunsa, balakondwa ne kulumba maswi a Mwami. Abo Lesa mbwalasala kwambeti bakatambule buyumi butapu, balashoma. (aiōnios g166)
49 The Lord’s word was spread abroad throughout all the region.
Maswi a Mwami alamwaikila kuli konse mucimpansha ici.
50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders.
Nomba Bayuda basa balayungaula batukashi bayampuwo abo balikukambilila Lesa ne batangunishi ba mumunshi. Balatatika kupensha Paulo ne Banabasi ne kubatandanya kufuma mucimpansha cabo.
51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
Paulo ne Banabasi balapampamuna lusuko kumyendo kwabo, kwambeti lube bukamboni bwa kukana kwabo, kufumapo balaya ku Ikoniya.
52 The disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
Beshikwiya baku Antiyokeya balakondwa kayi balesulilwa ne Mushimu Uswepa.
