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.”
Bantu nabambi balafuma ku Yudeya, balesa ku Antiyokeya, kabayisha bashoma banabo kwambeti, “Na mubula kupalulwa kwelana ne ncelambanga milawo ya Mose, nkamwelela kupuluka sobwe.”
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.
Nomba Paulo ne Banabasi baliya kusuminishana ne ciyisho cilico sobwe, neco balatotekeshana nabo cangofu. Lino banse balapangana kwambeti Paulo ne Banabasi ne banse nabambi baku Antiyokeya, bakenga ku Yelusalemu kuya kubandika makani awa pamo ne batumwa ne bamakulene bamubungano waku Yelusalemu.
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.
Mubungano mpowalabatuma, balapitila ku Foinike ne ku Samaliya, kabaya kwamba mbuli bantu bakunsa mobalikusandukila kuli Lesa. Maswi awa alabakondwelesha beshikwiya bonse.
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.
Mpobalashika ku Yelusalemu, balatambulwa cena ne mubungano ne batumwa kayi ne bamakulene. Paulo ne Banabasi, balamba ncito shonse Lesa nshalensa kupitila mulyendibo.
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.”
Nomba bashoma nabambi bali kabacili mu kalikoto ka Bafalisi, balanyamuka ne kwambeti, “Bantu balafumunga mumishobo naimbi kuba beshikwiya ba Yesu belela kupalulwa, kayi twelela kubambileti bakonke Milawo ya Mose.”
6 And the Apostles and elders came together to take care of this matter.
Lino batumwa ne bamakulene bamubungano, balabungana pamo kwambeti babonepo cena pa nkaniyi.
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.
Mpobalambishana pankaniyi kwacindi citali, Petulo walemana ne kutatika kwambeti, “Mucinshi cena mobanse bame kwambeti, Lesa walansala kaindi pakati penu kwambeti njenga kuya kukambauka Mulumbe Waina, kubantu bamishobo naimbi kwambeti banyumfwe ne kushoma.
8 And God, who knows hearts, offered testimony, by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as to us.
Lesa uyo ukute kwinshiba cena myoyo ya bantu, walalesha kwambeti bantu ba mishobo naimbi labatambulu pakubapa Mushimu Uswepa, mbuli ncalatupa afwe.
9 And he distinguished nothing between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
Lesa uliya kupusanyapo pakati pabo ne njafwe, pakwinga lushomo lwalaswepesha myoyo yabo.
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?
Nipacebo cini ncemulamwelekeshelenga Lesa, pakubabika lijoko panshingo beshikwiya, ilyo bamashali betu bakulukulu, nambi afwe tobene ndyetwalalilwa kulimanta?
11 But by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe in order to be saved, in the same manner also as them.”
Nkacelela kubeco sobwe, twashoma kwambeti cilatupulushunga twense pamo ne ndibo ni Luse lwa Mwami 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.
Bonse mu mubunganowo balamwena tonto, kabanyumfwa Banabasi ne Paulo ncebalikwamba pabingashilo ne bishikukankamanisha mbyalikwinsa Lesa pakati pabantu bakunsa, kupitila mulyendibo.
13 And after they had been silent, James responded by saying: “Noble brothers, listen to me.
Mpobalapwisha kwamba, Jemusi walambeti, “Mobanse bame, kamunyumfwani.
14 Simon has explained in what manner God first visited, so as to take from the Gentiles a people to his name.
Shimoni latwambili cena mbuli Lesa pakutatika, ncalanuka bantu bamishobo naimbi, kupatulapo nabambi kuba bantu bakendi mwine.
15 And the words of the Prophets are in agreement with this, just as it was written:
Awa maswi alasuminishananga ne maswi abashinshimi bakulukulu, mbuli ncalembwa mu Mabala a Lesa kwambeti,
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,
“Ibi byakapwa ninkabwele, kayi ninkebake ng'anda yalawa ya Dafeti. Byapwaika ninkabibake ne kubibambulula cena.
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.’
‘Ninkenseco kwambeti bantu nabambi bapacishi capanshi naboyo balangaule Mwami Lesa, uku ekwambeti bantu bamishobo yonse mbondalasala kwambeti babe bakame.
Ici encalambanga Mwami Lesa uyo walayubulula ibi kufuma kumasuba akunyuma.” (aiōn g165)
19 Because of this, I judge that those who were converted to God from among the Gentiles are not to be disturbed,
Jemusi walapitilisha kwambeti, “Kwelana ne kuyeya kwakame, afwe katutabatwika mitolo bantu bakunsa balasandukilinga kuli Lesa.
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.
Caina tubalembele kalata kwambeti kabatalyanga bintu byasafwana, byabengwa milumbo ku tulesa twakubumba. Balo kabatensanga bufule, kabatalyanga nyama yalifwila, kayi kabatalyanga milopa.
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.”
Pakwinga Milawo ya Mose, yalatatika kubelengwa ne beshikwiyisha mu manda akupaililamo a Bayuda mu munshi uliwonse, pa busuba buli bonse bwa Sabata kufumina kubyaka byakunyuma.”
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,
Popelapo batumwa ne bamakulene, pamo ne mubungano wonse, balasuminishana kwambeti basalepo bantu beti batumwe pamo ne Paulo ne Banabasi kuya ku Antiyokeya. Balasalapo Yudasi, walikukwiweti Basabasi, ne Sailasi, batuloba babili aba balikukute bulemu pakati pabashoma.
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.
Kalata njebalabapa yalikwambeti. “Mobanse, afwe batumwa pamo ne bamakulene bamubungano, tulamupanga mitende amwe mobanse baku Antiyokeya, baku Siliya, ne njamwe baku Kilikiya omwashoma muli Mwami Yesu, amwe bantu bakunsa.
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,
Tulanyumfu kwambeti bantu nabambi bamulikoto lyetu bafumina kuno, besa uko kwisa kumupensha ne kumufulunganya bongo ne ciyisho cabo. Abo ntafwe twabatuma sobwe.
25 it pleased us, being assembled as one, to choose men and to send them to you, with our most beloved Barnabas and Paul:
Lino mpotwabungana twense, twasuminishana kusalapo bantu ne kubatuma uko kuli njamwe. Nibakese pamo ne Paulo ne Banabasi bantu mbotusuni.
26 men who have handed over their lives on behalf of the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Abo balabenga buyumi bwabo kusebensela Mwami Yesu Klistu.
27 Therefore, we have sent Judas and Silas, who themselves also will, with the spoken word, reaffirm to you the same things.
Ecebo cakendi tulatumu Yudasi ne Sailasi, kwambeti bese bamwambile ne mulomo mbyotulalembe mukalata.
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:
Kuyeya kwetu kulelana ndendende ne Mushimu Uswepa, kwambeti katutamutwika mitolo naimbi yalema sobwe, nsombi milawo ilayandikinga iyi;
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.”
Kamutalyanga nyama njebalatwalilinga milumbo tulesa twakubumba, kamutalyanga milopa, nambi nyama yalifwila, kayi kamutensanga bufule. Na muyamuke ku bintu ibi nimwinse cena. Kamushalani cena.”
30 And so, having been dismissed, they went down to Antioch. And gathering the multitude together, they delivered the epistle.
Basa mbobalatuma balaya ku Antiyokeya uko nkobalabunganya mubungano wonse ne kubapa kalata isa.
31 And when they had read it, they were gladdened by this consolation.
Mpobalaibelenga kalata isa balakondwa, pakwinga mwalikuba maswi alabayuminisha.
32 But Judas and Silas, being also prophets themselves, consoled the brothers with many words, and they were strengthened.
Yudasi ne Sailasi balikuba bashinshimi, balabayuminisha banse, balamba nabo kwacindi citali ne kubekalika myoyo panshi.
33 Then, after spending some more time there, they were dismissed with peace, by the brothers, to those who had sent them.
Mpobalekalako nsondo shing'ana, beshikwiya baku Antiyokeya balalayana ne kwambeti, bende mulumuno pa kubwelela kuli balabatuma.
34 But it seemed good to Silas to remain there. So Judas alone departed to Jerusalem.
Nomba nendi Sailasi walashalila.
35 And Paul and Barnabas remained at Antioch, with many others, teaching and evangelizing the Word of the Lord.
Paulo ne Banabasi balekala ku Antiyokeya, kabeyisha ne kukambauka maswi a Mwami ne banabo bangi.
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.”
Mpopalapita cindi, Paulo walambila Banabasi kwambeti, “Katubwelela twenga tubone bantu mbotwakambukila maswi a mwami Yesu mu minshi yonse na balekalangeconi.”
37 And Barnabas wanted to take John, who was surnamed Mark, with them also.
Banabasi walikuyandeti bamantilile pamo Yohane Maliko.
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.
Nomba Paulo nkalikuyandeti benga pamo ne Yohane, pakwinga mpobalikuba ku Pamfuliya walabwela combenyuma, ne kubashiya ncito kaitana ipwa.
39 And there occurred a dissension, to such an extent that they departed from one another. And Barnabas, indeed taking Mark, sailed to Cyprus.
Popelapo balatotekeshana caipa cakwinseti balapansana. Banabasi ne Maliko balatanta bwato ne kuya ku Saipulasi.
40 Yet truly, Paul, choosing Silas, set out, being delivered by the brothers to the grace of God.
Nendi Paulo walasala Sailasi ne kuya pamo, banse mpobalabapailila kwambeti Lesa abape colwe, balanyamuka.
41 And he traveled through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the Churches, instructing them to keep the precepts of the Apostles and the elders.
Naboyo balapitila ku Siliya neku Kilikiya kabaya kuyuminisha bantu mu mibungano.
