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.
Mu msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu va ku Antiokia kwavili na vandu vangi vevavi vamlota va Chapanga na vawula, pagati yavi vavi Banaba na Sauli na Simioni mweikemiwa mtitu, Lukio wa Kulene, Manaeni mwealeliwi pamonga na Nkosi Helodi.
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.”
Pavamuyupayi Bambu na kujihinisa chakulya, Mpungu Msopi akavajovela, “Mnihagulila Banaba na Sauli ndava ya lihengu lenivakemelili.”
3 And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid their hands on them and sent them off.
Hinu vakajihinisa chakulya neju na kumuyupa Chapanga, vakavapamisa mawoko panani yavi vakavatuma vahamba.
4 So Barnabas and Saul, sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and sailed from there to Cyprus.
Hinu, Mpungu Msopi peamali kuvatuma Banaba na Sauli, vakahelela mbaka Seleukia na kuhuma kwenuko vakayingila muwatu mbaka kukisiwa cha Kuplo.
5 When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. And John was with them as their helper.
Pavahikili ku Salami vakakokosa Lilovi la Chapanga munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi. Yohani Maluko avi mtangatila wavi.
6 They traveled through the whole island as far as Paphos, where they found a Jewish sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus,
Vagendili kuhuma upandi umonga na kuhamba upandi wungi wa kisiwa na kuhika Pafo, vamkolili mundu mmonga Myawudi mhavi liina laki Bal yesu mlota wa udese.
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.
Mwenuyo avi pamonga na Seligio Pauli, mkulu wa kisiwa chila avi mundu wa luhala neju. Selgio Pauli avakemili Banaba na Sauli muni ayuwana Lilovi la Chapanga.
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith.
Nambu mhavi yula Bal yesu mweikemelewa Elima kwa Chigiliki, alingili kuvabelelela muni kumbesa mkulu wa kisiwa chila akotoka kusadika sadika ya Chikilisitu.
9 Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked directly at Elymas
Hinu Sauli mweikemiwa mewa Pauli, kuni amemisiwi Mpungu Msopi, akamlolokesa takataka mhavi yula,
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?
na kujova, “Veve wamwana wa Setani, likoko wa kila chindu chechimganisa Chapanga, mweumemili uhakau na udese. Nakuleka hati padebe kubudisa uchakaka wa njila selede za Bambu!
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.
Hinu, chiwoko cha Bambu yati chikubuna, yati wivya ngalola nakuhotola kulola lilanga mulukumbi.” Bahapo Elima chitita chikayingila mumihu gaki hati gakakoyoko, hati akatumbula kupamisa kuni na kuni, kulonda mundu wa kumkamula chiwoko amulongosa.
12 When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for he was astonished at the teaching about the Lord.
Mkulu wa kisiwa yula peagawene mambu gala, akasadika, akakangasa neju ndava ya mawuliwu gakumvala Bambu.
13 After setting sail from Paphos, Paul and his companions came to Perga in Pamphylia, where John left them to return to Jerusalem.
Kangi Pauli na vayaki vakawuka Pafo, vakayingila muwatu na kuhamba kumuji wa Peliga mulima wa Pamfulia. Nambu Yohani Maluko avalekili na kuwuya ku Yelusalemu.
14 And from Perga, they traveled inland to Pisidian Antioch, where they entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and sat down.
Nambu vene vayendalili na lugendu kuhuma Peliga mbaka pamuji wa Antiokia ya Pisidia. Ligono la Kupumulila vakayingila munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi na kutama pahi.
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.”
Pevamali kusoma muchitabu cha malagizu ga Bambu geampeli Musa na Mayandiku ga Vamlota va Chapanga, vala vachilongosi va nyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi yila vavatumili ujumbi uwu, “Valongo ngati kuvi na malovi ga kuvakangamalisa mitima vandu ava mujova.”
16 Paul stood up, motioned with his hand, and began to speak: “Men of Israel and you Gentiles who fear God, listen to me!
Ndi Pauli akayima na kuvapungila chiwoko na kutumbula kuvajovela, “Vakolonjinji va Isilaeli na voha mwemumtopesa Chapanga, muniyuwanila!
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.
Chapanga wa mulima uwu wa Isilaeli avahagwili vagogo vitu, akavakita vandu va kuvya mulima uvaha pavatamayi kuuyehe ku Misili. Kangi akavawusa kwenuko kwa makakala gaki.
18 He endured their conduct for about forty years in the wilderness.
Akasindimala nawu mulukumbi lwa miyaka alobaini kulugangatu kula.
19 And having vanquished seven nations in Canaan, He gave their land to His people as an inheritance.
Akagakomekesa makabila saba ga mulima wa Kanani ndi akavapela mulima wenuwo vandu avo kuvya uhali wavi.
20 All this took about 450 years. After this, God gave them judges until the time of Samuel the prophet.
Mambu ago gahengiki kwa lukumbi lwa miyaka miya mcheche na hamsini.” “Kangi akavapela vahamula mihalu vavalongosa mbaka magono ga mlota wa Chapanga Samueli.
21 Then the people asked for a king, and God gave them forty years under Saul son of Kish, from the tribe of Benjamin.
Chechagelekili ndi vakamyupa nkosi, ndi Chapanga akavapela Sauli mwana wa Kishi wa lukolo lwa Benjamini, akalongosa mulukumbi lwa miyaka alobaini.
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.’
Peamuwusili Sauli, Chapanga akamhagula Daudi avya nkosi wavi. Chapanga mwene akavajovela hotohoto, nimhagwili Daudi mwana wa Yese, ndava muni mundu mweakuniganisa. Mwenuyo ndi mweihenga mambu goha genikugagana.
23 From the descendants of this man, God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as He promised.
Kuhuma mu chiveleku cha mundu mwenuyo, Chapanga ngati cheavalagizi vandu va Isilaeli kuvapelekela Msangula ndi Yesu.
24 Before the arrival of Jesus, John preached a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
Yesu peavi akona kutumbula lihengu laki, Yohani amlongolili na kuvakokosela vandu voha va Isilaeli kuvya yikuvagana vamuwuyila Chapanga na kubatiziwa.
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.’
Yohani peavi mukumala ujumbi waki avajovili vandu, Mwiholela nene ndi yani? Mwemkumlindila lepi nene. Nambu yuwanila! Mweibwela mumbela yangu, nene nakuganikiwa hati kuwopola nyosi za champali zaki!”
26 Brothers, children of Abraham, and you Gentiles who fear God, it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent.
“Valongo vangu, nyenye chiveleku cha Ibulahimu, na vangi voha mwemkumtopesa Chapanga! Ujumbi uwu wa usangula uletiwi kwitu!
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.
Muni vakolonjinji va Yelusalemu na vakulu vavi vammanyili lepi Yesu kuvya Msangula, katu nakugamanya malovi ga vamlota va Chapanga gegasomewa kila Ligono la Kupumulila. Pamonga na ago vakagatimilisi kwa kumkoma Yesu lifwa.
28 And though they found no ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have Him executed.
Pamonga na avi lepi na yeyikumgana akomiwa, vamyupili Pilatu amhukumwa lifwa.
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.
Na pevamali kuhenga goha gegayandikiwi kumvala Yesu, vakamuhulusa kuhuma mu msalaba, vakamvika mu litinda la mbugu.
30 But God raised Him from the dead,
Nambu Chapanga amuyukisi kwevafwili.
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.
Mwene kwa magono gamahele, avahumalili vealongosini nawu kuhuma ku Galilaya mbaka ku Yelusalemu. Venavo ndi hinu vandu vevakujovela vandu va Isilaeli mambu ga Yesu.
32 And now we proclaim to you the good news: What God promised our fathers
Hinu tete tikuvakokosela nyenye Lilovi la Bwina, lenilo ndi lilaganu kwa vagogo vitu,
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.’
Chapanga ahengili lilaganu lenilo ndava yitu tete chiveleku chavi kwa kumyukisa Yesu, ngati cheyiyandikiwi Muzabuli ya pili, ‘Veve ndi Wamwana vangu na nene lelu na Dadi waku.’
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.’
Na ndava ya kumyukisa kwevafwili, nakuwuya kavili kwenuko ndi awolili lepi. Chapanga ajovili, ‘Yati nikupela mota ya usopi na uchakaka zezanamlagazili Daudi.’
35 So also, He says in another Psalm: ‘You will not let Your Holy One see decay.’
Hinu wijova mu mayandiku gangi ga Zabuli, ‘Umleka lepi Msopi waku awola.’
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.
Daudi mwene ahengili geigana Chapanga mulukumbi lwaki, na kangi afwili na kuvikiwa mu litinda la mbugu papipi na vagogo vaki, na higa yaki yawolili.
37 But the One whom God raised from the dead did not see decay.
Nambu yula mweayukiswi na Chapanga kwa vafwili awolili lepi.
38 Therefore let it be known to you, brothers, that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.
Ndava muni valongo vitu tigana nyenye mumanya chakaka kuvya munjila ya Yesu, ujumbi wa kulekekesewa kumbudila Chapanga ukokoswa kwinu,
39 Through Him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses.
mundu yoyoha mweamsadika mwene ndi ilekekesewa kumbudila Chapanga kwoha, lijambu langahotoleka ndava ya kulanda Malagizu ga Bambu geampeli Musa.
40 Watch out, then, that what was spoken by the prophets does not happen to you:
Mujiyangalila, gegajoviwi na vamlota va Chapanga gala gakotoka kuvakolela,
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.’”
‘Myuwanila, nyenye mwemuvi na likomo, mkangasayi na mfwayi! Muni chindu chenihenga hinu, mulusenje lwinu, yati musadika lepi hati ngati mundu avajovoli.’”
42 As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people urged them to continue this message on the next Sabbath.
Pauli na Banaba pavawukili munyumba ya kuyupila Chapanga mula, vandu vala vakavagongolela vabwela Ligono la Kupumulila leligelekela, vavakangamalisa mambu gala.
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.
Mngonganu wula pawamaliki Vayawudi vamahele na vandu vangali Vayawudi vevayingili njila ya kumuyupa Chapanga ya Vayawudi ndi vakavalanda Pauli na Banaba. Vene vakalongela nawu na kuvakangamalisa mitima vayendelela kutama kwa kuhuvalila ubwina wa Chapanga.
44 On the following Sabbath, nearly the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.
Ligono la Kupumulila lila lelagelekili kila mundu pamuji wula abwelili kuyuwanila Lilovi la Bambu.
45 But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and they blasphemously contradicted what Paul was saying.
Nambu Vayawudi pavawaweni vandu vamahele vakamema wihu, vakagabela malovi gaajovayi Pauli na vakamliga.
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)
Pauli na Banaba vakalongela kwa ukekesi neju, “Yaganikiwi Lilovi la Chapanga litumbula kuvahikila hoti nyenye, nambu ndava mulibelili na kuvya nakuhotola kupokela wumi wa magono goha, hinu tikuvaleka na kuvahambila vandu vangali Vayawudi. (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.’”
Muni Bambu atilagazili aga, ‘Nikuviki lumuli lwa vandu va pamulima, muni vandu voha vasanguliwa pamilima yoha.’”
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)
Vandu vangali Vayawudi pevayuwini lijambu lila vakavya na luheku, vakaulumbalila ujumbi wa Bambu na vevahaguliwi vala kupewa na wumi wa magono goha wangali mwishu, vakavya vamsadika. (aiōnios g166)
49 And the word of the Lord spread throughout that region.
Lilovi la Bambu ladandasiki kila pandu pamulima.
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.
Nambu Vayawudi vakavakulukisa vadala vangali Vayawudi vevitopeswa vevakumuyupa Chapanga na vagosi vevimanyikana wa muji wula. Vakatumbula kuvang'aha Pauli na Banaba, vakavavinga vahuma pamuji wavi.
51 So they shook the dust off their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.
Hinu vamitumi vala vakakung'unda lububu mumagendelu gavi kulangisa vabeli Lilovi la Bambu na vakahamba ku Ikonio.
52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
Na vamsadika va ku Antiokia, ndi vamemiswi luheku na Mpungu Msopi.
