Acts 15
1 And certain ones, descending from Judea, were teaching the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved.”
Hinu, vandu vangi vakahuma ku Yudea na kubwela ku Antiokia, vakatumbula kuvawula valongo vala, nakuhotola kusanguliwa ngati mwangayingila jandu, ngati mvelu wa Musa cheulagiza.
2 Therefore, when Paul and Barnabas made no small uprising against them, they decided that Paul and Barnabas, and some from the opposing side, should go up to the Apostles and priests in Jerusalem concerning this question.
Pauli na Banaba vakavya na mhutanu na vandu vala ndava ya lijambu lila, ndi vakahamuliwa Pauli na Banaba pamonga na vamsadika vangi va Antiokia vahamba ku Yelusalemu kukonganeka na vagogo na vamitumi ndava ya lijambu lenilo.
3 Therefore, being led by the church, they traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria, describing the conversion of the Gentiles. And they caused great joy among all the brothers.
Mulugendu lwavi msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu ndi vavatangatili, vakapitila ku Foinike na ku Samaliya na kuvajovela vandu vangali Vayawudi chavamsadiki Chapanga. Malovi ago gavagahekisi neju vamsadika voha.
4 And when they had arrived in Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the Apostles and the elders, reporting what great things God had done with them.
Pavahikili ku Yelusalemu, vakagongolelewa na msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu na vamitumi na vagogo, vene vakavajovela mambu goha Chapanga geagahengili pamonga nawu.
5 But some from the sect of the Pharisees, those who were believers, rose up saying, “It is necessary for them to be circumcised and to be instructed to keep the Law of Moses.”
Nambu vamsadika vangi va msambi wa Vafalisayu vakayima na kujova, “Yikuvagana vandu vangali Vayawudi vadumuliwa jandu na kuvalagiza kulanda mhilu wa Musa.”
6 And the Apostles and elders came together to take care of this matter.
Hinu vamitumi na vagogo vakakonganeka ndava ya kulongalela lijambu lenilo.
7 And after a great contention had taken place, Peter rose up and said to them: “Noble brothers, you know that, in recent days, God has chosen from among us, by my mouth, Gentiles to hear the word of the Gospel and to believe.
Ndi pavakotini neju, Petili akayima na kujova, “Valongo vangu, mumanyili kuvya Chapanga anihagwili nene kadeni pagati yinu muni nikokosayi Lilovi la Bwina kwa vandu vangali Vayawudi navene vayuwana na vasadikayi.
8 And God, who knows hearts, offered testimony, by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as to us.
Na Chapanga mweimanya mitima ya vandu, ajilangisi kuvayidakila kuvapela Mpungu Msopi vene ngati cheatipeli tete.
9 And he distinguished nothing between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
Nakuvabagula vandu, tete amala vene, ainyambisi mitima yavi ndava vakumsadika.
10 Now therefore, why do you tempt God to impose a yoke upon the necks of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?
Hinu ndava kyani kumlinga Chapanga, mukuvagegesa ndwika vamsadika vala, ndwika vagogo vitu wala tavete tihotola lepi kugega?
11 But by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe in order to be saved, in the same manner also as them.”
Lepi, ndi tete tisadika ngati vene, yati tisanguliwa munjila ya ubwina wa Bambu Yesu.”
12 Then the entire multitude was silent. And they were listening to Barnabas and Paul, describing what great signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles through them.
Mngonganu wa vandu voha wagunili nuu, ukuwayuwanila Pauli na Banaba vidandaula gachinamtiti na makangaso, Chapanga geagahengili muujumbi wavi kwa vandu vangali Vayawudi.
13 And after they had been silent, James responded by saying: “Noble brothers, listen to me.
Pevamali kulongela, Yakobo akatumbula kujova, “Muniyuwanila valongo vangu!
14 Simon has explained in what manner God first visited, so as to take from the Gentiles a people to his name.
Simoni Petili atidandaulili Chapanga penapo kadeni cheajilangisi kwa vandu vangali Vayawudi na kuvahagula vangi pagati yavi, vavyai vandu vaki.
15 And the words of the Prophets are in agreement with this, just as it was written:
Lijambu lenilo ndi liyidakilana na malovi ga vamlota va Chapanga, ngati Mayandiku Gamsopi chegijova,
16 ‘After these things, I will return, and I will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down. And I will rebuild its ruins, and I will raise it up,
‘Bambu ajovili, pagenaga yati niwuya, na kuujenga kavili nyumba ya Daudi, yeyigwili.
17 so that the rest of men may seek the Lord, along with all the nations over whom my name has been invoked, says the Lord, who does these things.’
Vandu vangi voha na vandu vangali Vayawudi, voha venivakemili vavyayi vangu yati vakunilonda Bambu.
Ndi cheajovili Bambu, mweagamanyisi mambu aga kuhuma kadeni.’” (aiōn g165)
19 Because of this, I judge that those who were converted to God from among the Gentiles are not to be disturbed,
Yakobo akayendelela kujova, “Nene nilola kuvya chabwina lepi kuvang'aha vandu vangali Vayawudi vevakumsadika Chapanga.
20 but instead that we write to them, that they should keep themselves from the defilement of idols, and from fornication, and from whatever has been suffocated, and from blood.
Nambu chabwina tivayandikila ujumbi kuvajovela, vayepa kulya vyakula vihakasa vya mahoka, vayepa ukemi vayepa kulya hinyama yidodanu na vayepa kulya ngasi.
21 For Moses, from ancient times, has had in each city those who preach him in the synagogues, where he is read on every Sabbath.”
Ndava muni kutumbula kadeni mhilu wa Chapanga weampelili Musa, wisomiwa kila Ligono la Kupumulila munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi, na malovi gaki gikokoselewa kila muji.”
22 Then it pleased the Apostles and elders, with the whole Church, to choose men from among them, and to send to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, and Judas, who was surnamed Barsabbas, and Silas, preeminent men among the brothers,
Kangi vamitumi na vagogo va msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu voha vakahamula kuvahagula vandu nunuyu mumasambi wavi na kuvatuma ku Antiokia pamonga na Pauli na Banaba. Ndi vakamhagula Yuda mweikemiwa Basaba na Sila, vevitopeswa neju na vamsadika.
23 what was written by their own hands: “The Apostles and elders, brothers, to those who are at Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, brothers from the Gentiles, greetings.
Vavapelili ujumbi weuyandikiwi aga, “Tete vamitumi na vagogo, valongo vinu, tikuvajambusa vayitu mwangali kuvya Vayawudi mwemuvi ku Antiokia na ku Silia na ku Kilikia.
24 Since we have heard that some, going out from among us, have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, to whom we gave no commandment,
Tiyuwini kuvya vandu nunuyo vakuhuma kwitu vavang'aisi mtima yinu na malovi gavi, vahengili genago changali malagizu gitu.
25 it pleased us, being assembled as one, to choose men and to send them to you, with our most beloved Barnabas and Paul:
Hinu kwa pamonga tiyidakilini kuvahagula vajumbi vangi, valongosana pamonga na vankozi vitu Pauli na Banaba tivatumili kubwela kwinu.
26 men who have handed over their lives on behalf of the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Vandu vevajiwusili kuyagisa wumi wavi ndava ya kumhengela Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu.
27 Therefore, we have sent Judas and Silas, who themselves also will, with the spoken word, reaffirm to you the same things.
Ndava muni tivatumili Yuda na muyaki Sila, vene yati vakuvadandaulila malovi goha getivayandikili.
28 For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to impose no further burden upon you, other than these necessary things:
Hinu yimganisi Mpungu Msopi na tete tikotoka kuvagegesa ndwika neju ya mambu gala gegalagaziwi.
29 that you abstain from things immolated to idols, and from blood, and from what has been suffocated, and from fornication. You will do well to keep yourselves from these things. Farewell.”
Mkoto kulya vyakulya veviwusiwi mahoka, kavili ngasi ya hinyama mkoto kunywa na mewawa hinyama yevadodili mkoto kulya, myepa ukemi. Yati muhenga chabwina ngati muyepili kuhenga mambu ago!”
30 And so, having been dismissed, they went down to Antioch. And gathering the multitude together, they delivered the epistle.
Ndi pevamali kulagana, vajumbi vala vakawuka na kuhamba ku Antiokia. Kwenuko vakaukemela msambi wa vamsadika na kuvagotolela balua yeyiyandikwi yila.
31 And when they had read it, they were gladdened by this consolation.
Hinu pevamali kusoma ujumbi wula, malovi gaki gakavangamalisa mitima, vakavya na luheku neju.
32 But Judas and Silas, being also prophets themselves, consoled the brothers with many words, and they were strengthened.
Yuda na Sila vevavi vamlota va Chapanga, valongili nawu mulukumbi lutali vakuvapolesa na kuvakangamalisa mitima.
33 Then, after spending some more time there, they were dismissed with peace, by the brothers, to those who had sent them.
Pevamali kutama kwa lukumbi, valongo va ku Antiokia vakalagana nawu, vakavaganila uteke, kangi vakawuya kuhamba kula kwevatumwili.
34 But it seemed good to Silas to remain there. So Judas alone departed to Jerusalem.
Nambu sila ahamwili kusigalila.
35 And Paul and Barnabas remained at Antioch, with many others, teaching and evangelizing the Word of the Lord.
Nambu Pauli na Banaba vasigalili ku Antiokia, kwenuko vene pamonga na vandu vangi vamahele vawulili na kuvakokosela Lilovi la Bambu.
36 Then, after some days, Paul said to Barnabas, “Let us return to visit the brothers throughout all the cities in which we have preached the Word of the Lord, to see how they are.”
Magono nunuyu gegagelekili Pauli akamjovela Banaba, “Tiwuya tikavagendela valongo vala vetavakokosili lilovi la Bambu tikaloli cheviyendelela.”
37 And Barnabas wanted to take John, who was surnamed Mark, with them also.
Banaba aganili mewa vamtola Yohani mweikemiwa Maluko.
38 But Paul was saying that he ought not to be received, since he withdrew from them at Pamphylia, and he had not gone with them in the work.
Nambu Pauli aganili lepi kumtola Maluko, ndava mumbele avalekili ku Pamfulia na kubela kuvya pamonga mulihengu lavi.
39 And there occurred a dissension, to such an extent that they departed from one another. And Barnabas, indeed taking Mark, sailed to Cyprus.
Ndi ukahumila muhutanu uvaha pagati yavi, hati vakalekengana. Banaba akamtola Maluko, vakayingila muwatu na kuhamba ku Kuplo.
40 Yet truly, Paul, choosing Silas, set out, being delivered by the brothers to the grace of God.
Pauli mwene akamhagula Sila, hinu vamsadika pevamali kuvayupila ubwina wa Bambu vakawuka.
41 And he traveled through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the Churches, instructing them to keep the precepts of the Apostles and the elders.
Mulugendu lula vakapitila ku Silia na Kukilikia kuvakangamalisa msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu.
