Acts 15
1 And some coming down from Judea, taught the brethren: That except you be circumcised after the manner of Moses, you cannot be saved.
Ŵaiche ŵandu ŵane ku Antiokia kutyochela ku Yudea ni kutanda kwajiganya achalongo ŵala achitiji, “Iŵaga ngammumbala malinga ni chisyoŵelo chiŵalamwile che Musa, ngankombola kukulupuka.”
2 And when Paul and Barnabas had no small contest with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of the other side, should go up to the apostles and priests to Jerusalem about this question.
Che Paolo ni che Banaba ŵakanilanaga nawo yankati ngani jo, nipele ŵaasagwile che Paolo ni che Banaba pamo ni mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵampepe ŵa ku Antiokia ko ajaulangane kwa achinduna ni achachekulu ku Yelusalemu kukukunguluchila ngani jo.
3 They therefore being brought on their way by the church, passed through Phenice, and Samaria, relating the conversion of the Gentiles; and they caused great joy to all the brethren.
Nipele mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵala ŵaalanjile, ni ŵanyawo ŵapite ku Foinike ni ku Samalia achisalaga yankati ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi iŵatite pakwagalauchila Akunnungu. Ni ngani jo jaasengwasisye nnope ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito.
4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and by the apostles and ancients, declaring how great things God had done with them.
Paŵaiche ku Yelusalemu, mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ni achinduna ni achachekulu ŵaapochele ŵanyawo, nombewo ŵaasalile yanayose iŵaitesile Akunnungu pamo nawo.
5 But there arose some of the sect of the Pharisees that believed, saying: They must be circumcised, and be commanded to observe the law of Moses.
Ni ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵane ŵa mpingo wa Mafalisayo ŵajimi ni kuti, “Iŵajilwe ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi kwaumbasya ni kwajiganya kugakamulichisya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa.”
6 And the apostles and ancients assembled to consider of this matter.
Nipele achinduna ni achachekulu ŵasongangene kuti asosesose yankati liloŵe lyo.
7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter, rising up, said to them: Men, brethren, you know, that in former days God made choice among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
Paŵapundaga kuusyausyana, che Petulo ŵajimi ni kuti, “Achalongo achinjangu, mwachinsyene nkumanyilila kuti moŵa gagapite Akunnungu yanonyele kuusagula une pasikati jenu nalichile Ngani Jambone kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, kuti apilikane ni kukulupilila.
8 And God, who knoweth the hearts, gave testimony, giving unto them the Holy Ghost, as well as to us;
Nombe Akunnungu ŵakujimanyilila mitima ja ŵandu wose, ŵalosisye pangasisa kuti ŵapochele pakwapa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu mpela iŵatite pakutupa uweji.
9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
Nganatenda lusagu pasikati jetu ni ŵanyawo, ŵajiswejesye mitima jao ligongo ŵakulupilile.
10 Now therefore, why tempt you God to put a yoke upon the necks of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?
Sambano, ana ligongo chi nkwalinga Akunnungu? Ana kwa chichi nkulinga kwatwika ŵakulijiganya ŵala misigo jakutopa janganakombola kutwichila achambuje ŵetu natamuno uweji?
11 But by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, in like manner as they also.
Ikaŵaga yeleyo, nambo tukukulupilila kuti tutukulupuswe ni upile wa Ambuje Che Yesu, mpela ŵanyawo yakuti pakukulupilila.”
12 And all the multitude held their peace; and they heard Barnabas and Paul telling what great signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
Mpingo wose wamyalele ni kwapilikanila che Banaba ni che Paolo ŵaŵaliji nkwatanjila imanyisyo ni yakusimonjeka yose yaitesile Akunnungu ni makono gao mwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi.
13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying: Men, brethren, hear me.
Paŵamyalele, ŵatandite kuŵecheta che Yakobo kuti, “Achalongo achinjangu, mumbilikanile,
14 Simon hath related how God first visited to take of the Gentiles a people to his name.
Che Simoni jwakuŵilanjikwa che Petulo atusalile iŵatite Akunnungu kundanda pakwalola ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ni kwasagula ŵampepe mwa ŵelewo kuti aŵeje ŵao.
15 And to this agree the words of the prophets, as it is written:
Chelechi chikwilana ni maloŵe ga ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu mpela Malembelo ga Akunnungu yagakuti pakusala,
16 After these things I will return, and will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and the ruins thereof I will rebuild, and I will set it up:
Akunnungu akuti ‘Pakumala yelei chinjiuja, ni kutaŵa sooni lisakasa li che Daudi lilyagwile, chinjikolosya masame gakwe ni kutaŵa sooni.
17 That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all nations upon whom my name is invoked, saith the Lord, who doth these things.
Pelepo ŵandu ŵaŵasigele wose, ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi wose unaŵilasile aŵeje ŵandu ŵangu chiŵasose Ambuje.
Ambuje ni iyakuti pakusala, ŵelewo ni ŵaŵatesile yelei imanyiche chitandile kalakala ko.’” (aiōn g165)
19 For which cause I judge that they, who from among the Gentiles are converted to God, are not to be disquieted.
Che Yakobo ŵapundile kuŵecheta, “Une ngulamula kuti, tukaasakalisya ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ŵakwagalauchila Akunnungu.
20 But that we write unto them, that they refrain themselves from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
Nambo twalembele chikalata ni kwasalila kuti analye yakulya yaitajikwe mbopesi ku inyago, aleche chikululu ni akalya inyama yakupopotola ni kuleka kulya miasi.
21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him in the synagogues, where he is read every sabbath.
Pakuŵa chitandile kalakala Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa galiji nkusyomekwa moŵa gose mmajumba ga kupopelela pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila lyalili lyose ni kulalichilwa mmisi jajili jose.”
22 Then it pleased the apostles and ancients, with the whole church, to choose men of their own company, and to send to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas, who was surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren.
Nipele, achinduna ni achachekulu pamo ni mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wose ŵa ku Yelusalemu ŵalamwile kwasagula ŵandu ŵampepe mwa achinsyene pe ni kwalajisya ku Antiokia pamo ni che Paolo ni che Banaba. Nipele ŵaasagwile che Yuda pane akummilanga che Balisaba ni che Sila, ŵanyawo ŵaliji ilongola mwa ŵa ŵandu ŵaŵankulupilile Kilisito.
23 Writing by their hands: The apostles and ancients, brethren, to the brethren of the Gentiles that are at Antioch, and in Syria and Cilicia, greeting.
Nipele ŵapele chikalata chichalembekwe yele, “Uweji achinduna ni achachekulu, achalongo achinjenu, tukunkomasya mwanya achalongo achinjetu ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ŵa Ku Antiokia ni ku Silia ni ku Kilikia.
24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that some going out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls; to whom we gave no commandment:
Tupilikene kuti ŵandu ŵane ŵaŵatyosile kukwetu uwe ŵansakalisye ŵanyamwe ni kuntaga lipamba mitima jenu kwa maloŵe gao. Nambo ŵanyawo nganitwatuma kose.
25 It hath seemed good to us, being assembled together, to choose out men, and to send them unto you, with our well beloved Barnabas and Paul:
Nipele, tujilene kwa pamo kwasagula ŵandu ŵampepe ni kwatuma kukwenu pamo ni ŵakunonyelwa ŵetu che Banaba ni che Paolo,
26 Men that have given their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
ŵandu ŵautyosisye umi wao kwaligongo lya masengo ga Ambuje ŵetu Che Yesu Kilisito.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves also will, by word of mouth, tell you the same things.
Nipele, twatumile che Yuda ni che Sila kukwenu, ŵele ŵanyawo chansalile itulembile yo kwa kang'wa syao.
28 For it hath seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us, to lay no further burden upon you than these necessary things:
Pakuŵa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu pamo ni uweji tujitichisye kuti tukaatwika nsigo wine wakutopela kupunda ayi inkusachilwa kuimanyilila.
29 That you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which things keeping yourselves, you shall do well. Fare ye well.
Nkalya yakulya yaitajikwe mbopesi ku inyago ni nkalya miasi ni nkalya nyama ja inyama yakupopotola ni nneche chikululu. Chintende yambone naga chintende yeleyo, ntame kwa chitendewele.”
30 They therefore being dismissed, went down to Antioch; and gathering together the multitude, delivered the epistle.
Paŵalanjile, ŵanyawo ŵatyosile ku Yelusalemu ni kutuluchila ku Antiokia, kwele ŵauŵilasile pamo mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wose, ni kwapa chikalata chila.
31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
Ni paŵachisyomile chikalata chila, ŵasangalele kwannope ligongo maloŵe gakwe gaatulesye mitima.
32 But Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, with many words comforted the brethren, and confirmed them.
Che Yuda ni che Sila ŵaŵaliji ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu, ŵaajamwiche achalongo kwa maloŵe gamajinji ni kwalimbisya ŵandu ŵakukulupilila.
33 And after they had spent some time there, they were let go with peace by the brethren, unto them that had sent them.
Paŵatemi moŵa gampepe ku Antiokia, ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵaalanjile ajaulangane kwa chitendewele, kuuja kwa ŵaŵatumile ŵala.
34 But it seemed good unto Silas to remain there; and Judas alone departed to Jerusalem.
Nambo che Sila ŵasachile kusigala.
35 And Paul and Barnabas continued at Antioch, teaching and preaching, with many others, the word of the Lord.
Che Paolo ni che Banaba ŵasigele ku Antiokia kwa moŵa, achijiganyaga ni kulalichila Liloŵe lya Ambuje pamo ni ŵandu ŵane.
36 And after some days, Paul said to Barnabas: Let us return and visit our brethren in all the cities wherein we have preached the word of the Lord, to see how they do.
Pagapite moŵa gampepe, che Paolo ŵansalile che Banaba, “Twende tuuje, tukaalole achinjetu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu ŵala ku misi jajili jose kutwalalichile Liloŵe lya Ambuje ni kulola yakuti pakwendelechela.”
37 And Barnabas would have taken with them John also, that was surnamed Mark;
Nipele, che Banaba ŵasachile kwajigala che Yohana Maliko kuti alongane nawo.
38 But Paul desired that he (as having departed from them out of Pamphylia, and not gone with them to the work) might not be received.
Nambo che Paolo nganasaka kulongana ni che Maliko, ligongo ŵanlesile ku Pamfilia kundanda ni nganasaka kukamulangana pa masengo gao.
39 And there arose a dissension, so that they departed one from another; and Barnabas indeed taking Mark, sailed to Cyprus.
Nipele, ŵakanilene kwannope ni kulekangana matala. Che Banaba ŵalongene ni che Maliko, ŵakwesile ngalaŵa ni kwaula ku Kupulo.
40 But Paul choosing Silas, departed, being delivered by the brethren to the grace of God.
Nombe che Paolo ŵansagwile che Sila, ni ŵandu ŵakwakulupilila Che Yesu ŵa pelepo ŵampopelele apegwe upile wa Ambuje ni kwaula.
41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches, commanding them to keep the precepts of the apostles and the ancients.
Ni mu ulendo wo ŵajesile mu ilambo ya ku Silia ni ku Kilikia achalimbisyaga mipingo ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito mu ilambo yo.
