Acts 13
1 Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch), and Saul.
Linu mwi kereke ya Antiyoke, kuvena vaporofita ni maruti. Vavali Barnabasi, Simiyoni (Niga), Lusiyasi wa kwa Sirene ni Manaeni (yavali mulikani wa kuvu hwile wa Heroda we tetarachi) ni Saule.
2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”
Havavali kukwete ku zimba niku lumbeka Simwine nikuli nyima zilyo, Luho Lujolola chi lwawamba kuti, “Munivikile kumbali Barnabasi ni Saule, vapange musevezi univa vasumpili”.
3 And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid their hands on them and sent them off.
Havamane ku linyima zilyo ni kulapela, chiva vavika mayanza avo hava vakwame, niva va tuma.
4 So Barnabas and Saul, sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and sailed from there to Cyprus.
Mi Barnabasi ni Saule vavali kuteki Luhuho Lujolola chiba yenda kusezumuka kwa Silusiya; kuzwaho chi vayenda cha chisepe mu chiwoli cha Sipurasi.
5 When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. And John was with them as their helper.
Hava vena mwi toropo ya Salamisi, chiva kutaza linzwi lya Simwine mu masinagoge a Majuda. Vavena ni Joani Mareka avali mutusi wavo.
6 They traveled through the whole island as far as Paphos, where they found a Jewish sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus,
Linu hava valiku yenda muchiwoli choonse cha Pafosi, chi vawana mukwame wa mavivo, muporofita wa mapa wa Mujuda; izina lyakwe avali nji Bar- Jesu.
7 an attendant of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus. The proconsul, a man of intelligence, summoned Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the word of God.
Uzu iñanga yavali kwina chizwale kumuyendisi wa chikiliti Sergiusi Paulusi, mukwame yavali kutalifite. Cha ngongota Barnbasi ni Saule, kakuti avali kusaka kuzuwa inzwi lye Ireeza.
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith.
Kono Elimasi, “wa mavivo” (bulyo inzina lyakwe mulivali kutolokelwa) chalika kuvakanisa, chalika ku kuzwisa muyendisi mwi ntumelo.
9 Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked directly at Elymas
Kono Saule yavali kusumpwi Paulusi, yave zwile Luho Lujolola, chamu lola kakumu luvukila.
10 and said, “O child of the devil and enemy of all righteousness, you are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery! Will you never stop perverting the straight ways of the Lord?
ni chati, “Iwe mwana wa muswisu wa Javulusi, wizwile vuchengi ni muhupulo muvi. U chila chenzila zonse za kuruka. Kete nosiye kutenzeka inzila ziwolokete za Simwine, ko siye?
11 Now look, the hand of the Lord is against you, and for a time you will be blind and unable to see the light of the sun.” Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
Hanu ulole, iyanza lya Simwine lina hewulu lyako, mi move u chivofu. Kente uvone izuva mwi nakozana”. Hahobulyo cha wilwa kavundu ni kafifi; chakala kuzimbuluka ni kukumpila vantu kuti bamukwate kwiyanza.
12 When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for he was astonished at the teaching about the Lord.
Linu muyendisi havona bulyo ku chiva tendahali, cha zumina, kakuti ava komokiswa ka mulutilo kaza Simwine.
13 After setting sail from Paphos, Paul and his companions came to Perga in Pamphylia, where John left them to return to Jerusalem.
Haho Paulusi ni va valikani vakwe chiva lilonga niku zuha kuzwa mwa Pafosi ni kwiza mwa Perga yamwa Pamfilia. Kono Joani cha vasiya ni kuvola kwa Jerusalema.
14 And from Perga, they traveled inland to Pisidian Antioch, where they entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and sat down.
Paulusi ni valikani chivayenda kwa Perga ni kwiza kwa Antiyoke ya Pisidia. Umo chi vayenda mu masinagoge mwizuva lye Nsavata ni kwi kala hansi.
15 After the reading from the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue leaders sent word to them: “Brothers, if you have a word of encouragement for the people, please speak.”
Ha kumanwa kuvala za mulawo ni vaporofita, mi vayendi va ma masinagoge chiva tumina iñusa libalikuti, “Mizwale, chikwina liñusa lya kulisusuweza kuamana ni vantu vena hanu, mui wamba.”
16 Paul stood up, motioned with his hand, and began to speak: “Men of Israel and you Gentiles who fear God, listen to me!
Mi Paulusi cha zimana ni kunyanganisa iyanza; ni kuti, “Bakwame va Isiraele ni nwe mutompa Ireeza, mutekeleze.
17 The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers. He made them into a great people during their stay in Egypt, and with an uplifted arm He led them out of that land.
Ireeza wa vaantu va Isiraele avaketi waveshetu ventanzi mi ava pangi chisi chivekali mwi nkanda ya Egapita, mi cheyanza lyakwe lina mata avava zwisi mwateni.
18 He endured their conduct for about forty years in the wilderness.
Ka zilimo za makumi one nakwate inkulo yakwe chabo mwihalaupa.
19 And having vanquished seven nations in Canaan, He gave their land to His people as an inheritance.
Kuzwaaho ne haya mishobo ivali kukwana iyanza ni yobele mwinkanda ya Kanana, chaha vaantu vetu inkanda yavo kuti ive chiyolo.
20 All this took about 450 years. After this, God gave them judges until the time of Samuel the prophet.
Zonse zintu ziva pangahali mu zilimo zina myanda yone ni zilimo zichita makumi eyanza. Hakumana zonse izo zintu, Ireeza na vaha vaatuli mane kusika muporofita Samwele.
21 Then the people asked for a king, and God gave them forty years under Saul son of Kish, from the tribe of Benjamin.
Linu vaantu chi vavuza Simwine, mi Ireeza na vaha Saule mwana wa Kishi, mukwame yavali kuzwa mulusika lwa Benjamine; kuva simwine ka zilimo za makumi one.
22 After removing Saul, He raised up David as their king and testified about him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse a man after My own heart; he will carry out My will in its entirety.’
Kuzwa aho Ireeza na muzwisa havu simwine, Na zimika Davida kuti ave simwine wavo. Avali nji Davida wava wambi Ireeza, 'Na wana Davida mwana wa Jese, ave mukwame wina kwinkulo yangu, u tenda zonse zini suni kuti azitende.'
23 From the descendants of this man, God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as He promised.
Kuzwa mulusika lozu mukwame Ireeza na letela Isilaele muhazi, Jesu, sina kamwa vasepisize ku tenda.
24 Before the arrival of Jesus, John preached a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
Ichi chivakali kutendahala lili, pili Jesu na seni kusika, Joani sapili avezivahazi ze nkolovezo ya kuvaka ku vantu vonse va Isiraele.
25 As John was completing his course, he said, ‘Who do you suppose I am? I am not that One. But He is coming after me whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.’
Aho Joani avali kumaniniza mutendo wakwe, chata kuti, 'Uzeza kuti njeme ini? Kanjime uzo. Kono mutekeleze, uzo yokezite mumasule angu, makatulo aku matende akwe kani swaneli ku a sumununa.”
26 Brothers, children of Abraham, and you Gentiles who fear God, it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent.
Vamwangu, vaana vazwa muluzuvo lwa Abrahama, navo mukati kenu valapela Ireeza, nji kwetu uwu mulaezo we mpuluso ku uvatuminwa.
27 The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning Him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath.
Linu avo vahala mwa Jerusalema, niva yendisi vavo, kena vava mulemuhi, mi nive zuzilikiza zivali kuwambiwa kuva porofita kakuti zi valiwa i Nsabata ni NSabata zivali za kumunyasa.
28 And though they found no ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have Him executed.
Nihakuba vulyo kena vava wani ivaka ilotu liyelele ifu lyakwe, niva kumbila Pilato kuti amwihaya.
29 When they had carried out all that was written about Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb.
Havamana ku tenda zintu zonse zi ñoletwe zi amana naye, chiba mususa kwi samu, ni ku mulalika mwi vita.
30 But God raised Him from the dead,
Kono Ireeza na muvusa ku vafwile.
31 and for many days He was seen by those who had accompanied Him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now His witnesses to our people.
Ava vonahali kamazuva mangi ku vonse vavali kwiza naye kuzwa kwa Galileya kuya kwa Jerusalema. Avo vaantu nahanu vavavi impaki zakwe ku vaantu.
32 And now we proclaim to you the good news: What God promised our fathers
Linu tuka miletete mulayezo mulotu we nsepiso iva tendahali kuva zazi ventazi.
33 He has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm: ‘You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.’
Ireeza ave zuzilizi insepiso kwetu, vana vavo, mukuti vulyo ava avavusi Jesu kumuvoza kuvuhala. Sina haku ñoletwe mwa Lisamu wa vu veli: 'U mwanangu, sunu nava njime veso.
34 In fact, God raised Him from the dead, never to see decay. As He has said: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.’
Hape cha vuniti bwakuti avamuvusi ku bafwile ili kuti muvili wakwe kanzi uvoli, cha wamba buti: “Kani kuhe kujolola ni mboyoti zeniti za Davida.'
35 So also, He says in another Psalm: ‘You will not let Your Holy One see decay.’
Izi njizi vawambiwa muzumwi Lisamu, 'Kente uzuminine vako va jolola kuvola.'
36 For when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep. His body was buried with his fathers and saw decay.
Kuzwa aho Davida hava ni lusika lwakwe ava valekeli intakazo ya Ireeza, cha lala mi na lalikiwa ni vesi, mi ava voni kuvoli,
37 But the One whom God raised from the dead did not see decay.
kono uzo Ireeza ya vuse kente na vone kuvola.
38 Therefore let it be known to you, brothers, that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.
Linu musiye izizintu zi zivahale kwenu, vakwangu, mozu mukwame ku kwizibaheze kwenu kuwondelwa kwe zivi.
39 Through Him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses.
Kakwe yense yozumina kwali mwalukululwe muzintu zonse za milawo ya Mushe usena uvali kulukulula.
40 Watch out, then, that what was spoken by the prophets does not happen to you:
Imi haho mutokomele kuti zintu maporofita zi vavali kuwamba kanzi zitendahali kwenu:
41 ‘Look, you scoffers, wonder and perish! For I am doing a work in your days that you would never believe, even if someone told you.’”
'Muvone, inwe vanyazeleza, mu mukomokwe mane musinyehe; Kakuti ni tenda mutendo mu mazuva anu, mutendo usete ni muzumine, ni haike muntu niha wiziva haza kwenu.”
42 As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people urged them to continue this message on the next Sabbath.
Imi Paulusi ni Barnabasi havakatuka, vaantu chi vava kumbila ahulu kuti ni vawole kuwamba izo ziwambo ziswana mwi Nsabata ikeza.
43 After the synagogue was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them and urged them to continue in the grace of God.
Linu mukopano mu masigoge hau mana, vungi bwa maJuda ni ma Sandika chive chilila Paulusi ni Barnabasi, vava wambi kubali ni kuva susuweza kuti bazwile habusi ni chisemo che Ireeza.
44 On the following Sabbath, nearly the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.
Kulye Nsabata lichilila, ha haho itoropo yonse ivakopani hamwina kwiza kuzuwa inzwi lya Simwine.
45 But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and they blasphemously contradicted what Paul was saying.
Mi maJuda havavona chisi, chive njililwa muuna ni kuwamba zivilala kwineku lya Paulusi ni kumutuka.
46 Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: “It was necessary to speak the word of God to you first. But since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
Kono Paulusi ni Barnabasi chi wamba ni basatiyi, “Kuwoleka kuti inzwi lye Ireeze liwambwe sapili kwenu. Kulolelela mumu liñahikila kule nanwe ni kulihinda inwe muvene kuti kamuswaneli vuhalo bwakuya kwile, muvone katu vole kuva kuhanze. (aiōnios g166)
47 For this is what the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, to bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’”
Linu Simwine avatu leyeli, kakuta kuti, 'Ni vamiviki umo sina kaliseli ku va hanze, kuti mulete impuluso ku zibaka zonse cha hansi.”'
48 When the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified the word of the Lord, and all who were appointed for eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)
Mi bakuhanze hava zuwabulyo, chi vasanga ni kutanga kutemba inzwi lya Simwine. Sina vungi havava ketelwe kuvuhalo vusa mani chiba zumina. (aiōnios g166)
49 And the word of the Lord spread throughout that region.
Inzwi lye Ireeza chilya hasana mu chisi chonse
50 The Jews, however, incited the religious women of prominence and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas and drove them out of their district.
Kono maJuda chiva susuweza vanakazi ba tompeha ni kukola, mane vulyo ni vakwame vayendisa itoropo. Izo chizi wekeza ku nyandisa Paulusi ni Barnabasi ni vasohela hanze kule kwenyinza ye toropo.
51 So they shook the dust off their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.
Kono Paulusi ni Barnabasi chiba ba kukumwini isuko kumatende avo kuvali. Linu chi vayenda kwi toropo ya Ikone.
52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
Mi barutwana vavali kwizwile kusanga ni cha Luho Lujolola.
