Acts 13
1 The church at Antioch had prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (the childhood friend of Herod the tetrarch), and Saul.
Woli mwikanisa llya Antiokia, bhaliga bhalio abhalagi abhandi amwi na bheigisha. Bhaliga Barnaba, Simeoni (unu aliga natogwa Nigeri). Lukio awa Krene, Manaeni (omuili unu atali wa manyiga ga Herode omutangasha wa lijimbho) na Sauli.
2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart Barnabas and Saul to do the work I've called them to.”
Anu bhaliga nibhamulamya Latabugenyi ne chisibho, Mwoyo Mwelu aikile, “munyaulile kumbhali Barnaba na Sauli, bhakole emilimu jinu nabhabhilikie.”
3 After they had fasted, prayed, and placed their hands on them in blessing, they sent them on their way.
Likanisa lyejile lyamala echisibho, okusabhwa no kubhatelako amabhoko abhanu bhanu, mbe nibhabhasiga bhagende.
4 So Barnabas and Saul, directed by the Holy Spirit, went to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.
Kulwejo Barnaba na Sauli bhamwolobhee Mwoyo Mwelu nibhatelemuka okuja Seleukia; Okusokeyo mbhalabha KU nyanja okuja mwisinga elya Kipro.
5 Arriving at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. John was with them as their assistant.
Anu bhaliga mu musi gwa Salami, bhalasishe omusango gwa Nyamuanga mu mekofyanyisho ga Abhayaudi. one nokubha bhaliga amwi na Yohana Marko kuti msakisi webhwe.
6 They traveled throughout the island and eventually came to Paphos. There they found a Jewish magician, a false prophet by the name of Bar-jesus.
Bhejile bhagenda mwisiga lyona bhakiga Pafo, bhasangile munu mulebhe mulosi, Omuyaudi omulagi wo lubheyi, unu lisina lyae aliga ali Bar Yesu.
7 He was close to the governor, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. Sergius Paulus invited Barnabas and Saul to come and visit him since he wanted to hear the word of God.
Omulosi unu aliga ali amwi no Mtwale Sergio Paulus, unu aliga ali munu wo bhenge. Omunu unu abhakokele Barnaba na Sauli, kulwo kubha aganenda okungwa omusango gwa Nyamuanga.
8 But the magician Elymas (his Greek name) opposed them, trying to prevent the governor from trusting in God.
Mbe nawe Elima “Omulosi ulya” (Nkokutyo lisina lyae lyagajuywe) abhaganyishe; alegejishe okumuindula omutwale ulya asoke mulikilisha.
9 Saul, also called Paul, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and looked straight at him.
Mbe nawe Sauli unu aliga nabhilikilwa Paulo, aliga ejusibhwe na Mwoyo Mwelu, Mbe namulolelela neke-neke.
10 “You are full of deception and all kinds of evil, you son of the devil, you enemy of all that is right! Will you never give up perverting the Lord's true ways?
Mbe naika “awe omwana wa nyakusheta unu wijusibhe no bhwijigi-jigi bha bhuli nyami no bhulenga. Awe uli musoko wa bhuli chinu che chimali. Utakusiga okujiindula jinjila ja Latabugenyi, angu outula?
11 Look, the Lord's hand is on you and you will become blind. You will not see the sun for some time.” Immediately mist and darkness fell on him, and he had to find someone who could lead him by the hand.
Mbe Lola woli, okubhoko kwa Latabugenyi kuli ingulu yao, na ouja okuofula. Utakulilola lisubha ko mwanya” Ao nao oluwe ne chisute nibhimugwila Elimas; Nabha okwiinda-inda aliya-la no kusabhwa abhanu bhamutangashe kwo kumugwata okubhoko.
12 When the governor saw what happened he trusted in God, amazed at the teaching about the Lord.
Omutwale ejile alola ganu gabhonekene, ekilisishe, kulwo kubha atang'ang'asibhwe kwo kulubhana na meigisho ga Latabugenyi.
13 Then Paul and those with him sailed from Paphos and went to Perga in Pamphylia, while John left them and went back to Jerusalem.
Mbe woli Paulo na bhasani bhae nibhagenda mu lugendo lwa mumaji nibhasoka Pafo nibhakinga Perge mu Pamfilia. nawe Yohana abhasigile nasubha Yerusalemu.
14 They went through Perga and on to Antioch of Pisidia. On the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and were seated.
Paulo no musani wae nibhagenda mulugendo lwo kusoka Perge nibhakinga Antiokia eya Pisidia. Eyo bhagendele mulikofyanyisho ku lusiku olwa isabhato nibhakinga nibhenyanja.
15 After the readings from the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue leaders sent them a message saying, “Brothers, please share with the congregation any words of encouragement you may have.”
Bhejile bhamala okusoma ebhilagilo na bhalagi, abhatangasha bhe likofyanyisho abhasilie omusango nibhaika, “Bhaili, mkabha ne misango jo kubhatamo omwoyo abhanu anu, mwaike.”
16 Paul stood up, motioned with his hand to get their attention, and began speaking. “Men of Israel, and all of you who have reverence for God, listen to me.
Kulwejo Paulo emeleguyu no kubhaungisha okubhoko; aikile, “Emwe abhalume bha Israel bhanu omumwolobhela Nyamuanga, Mbe mutegeleshe.
17 The God of the people of Israel chose our forefathers, and gave our people prosperity during their stay in the land of Egypt. Then with his mighty power he led them out of Egypt,
Nyamuanga wa bhanu bhanu abha Israeli bhanu asolele bha lata weswe no kubhakola bhanu bhafu anu bhaliga bhekae mu Chalo cha Misri, na kulwo kubhoko kwae nabhatangasha.
18 and he patiently dealt with them in the desert for about forty years.
Mu miaka makumi gana nabhegumilisha mwibhala.
19 After he had overthrown seven nations living in the land of Canaan, God divided their land among the Israelites and gave it to them to inherit. This took about four hundred and fifty years.
Wejile amala okugasingalisha amanga musanju mu Chalo cha Kanani, abhayanile abhanu bheswe echalo chebhwe okulya omwandu.
20 Then he provided them with judges as leaders until the time of the prophet Samuel.
Ganu gone gabhonekene kwiya kafu mu myaka magana gana na makumi gatanu. Okumala ebhinu bhinu bhyona, Nyamuanga nabhayana abhalamusi kukinga ku Samweli Omulagi.
21 Then the people asked for a king, and God gave them Saul, son of Kish from the tribe of Benjamin, who ruled for forty years.
Okumala ganu, abhanu mbhasabhwa Omukama, kwibhyo Nyamuanga nabhayana Sauli omwana wa Kisi, omunu wo luganda lwa Benjamini, kubha mukama kwa myaka makumi gana
22 Then God removed Saul, and made David their king. God approved of David, saying ‘I found David the son of Jesse to be a man according to my own heart; he will do everything I intend.’
Eishe Nyamuanga namusoshako ku bhukama nabhatelako Daudi abhe mukama webhwe. Okulubhana ne bhya Daudi Nyamuanga aikile ati,”namubhene Daudi omwana wa Yese omunu unu kakondelesha omwoyo gwani; unu kajokola bhuli chinu chinu enenda.”
23 Jesus is David's descendant; he is the Savior that God promised to bring to Israel.
Okusoka mu luganda Lwo munu unu Nyamuanga abhaletee abhaisraeli omwelusi, Yesu, lwa kutyo alagile okukola.
24 Before Jesus came, John announced the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
Gunu gwambhile okubhonekana, anu Yesu aliga achali kuja, okwamba Yohana nalasha obhubhatijo bhwo kuta ku bhanu bhona abhaisraeli.
25 As John was completing his mission, he said, ‘Who do you think I am? I am not the one you're looking for. But after me one is coming whose sandals I'm not worthy to untie.’
Mbe omwene Yohana Anu aliga namalisha emilimu jae, aikile, “Omunyiganilisha ati anye nanye ga? Anye ntali ulya. Mbe mutegeleshe, unu kaja inyuma yani, niteile okugesha ebhilato bhya mu bhigele bhae.
26 My brothers, children of Abraham and those of you who have reverence for God: the message of this salvation has been sent to us!
Bhana bhasu, abhana bho lwibhulo lwa Abraham, na bhalya mwimwe bhanu omumulamya Nyamuanga, ni ingulu yemwe ati omusango gunu gwo mwelulo gwatumilwe.
27 The people living in Jerusalem and their leaders didn't recognize Jesus or understand the words spoken by the prophets that are read every Sabbath. In fact they fulfilled the prophetic words by condemning him!
Mu bhalya bhanu bhekae Yerusalemu, na abhatungi bhebhwe, bhatamumenyele mu chimali, nolwo bhatagumenyele omusango gwa bhalagi bhanu abhasomwa bhuli sabhato; Kulwejo bhakumisishe omusango gwa bhalagi ogwo kumulamula Yesu kufwa.
28 Even though they couldn't find any evidence to sentence him to death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
Nolwo kutyo bhatabhwene nsonga yona yona ye kisi yo kufwa kwa Yesu, nawe bhamusabhile Pilato amwite.
29 After they had fulfilled everything predicted that they would do to him, they took him down from the cross and buried him in a tomb.
Bhejile bhamala bhyona bhinu bhyandikilwe okulubhana no mwene bhamwisishe okusoka kwiti no kumumamya munfwa.
30 But God raised him from the dead,
Mbe nawe Nyamuanga namusulula okusoka mu bhafuye.
31 and he appeared over the course of many days to those who had followed him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now his witnesses to the people.
Abhonekene KU nsiku nyafu kubhalya bhanu bhalibhataga nage okusoka Galilaya no kuja Yerusalemu. Abhanu bhanu woli ni bhabhambhansi bha bhanu.
32 We are here to bring to you the good news of the promise that God made to our forefathers,
Kwibyo echibhaletela emisango jo bhwana okulubhana ne milago jinu bhasaja bheswe bhayanilwe.
33 that he has now fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus from the dead. As it is written in Psalm 2: ‘You are my Son; today I have become your Father.’
Nyamuanga ateyeo emilago jinu kwiswe, abhana bhebhwe kwijo amusuluye Yesu no kumkola kubha muanga lindi. Gunu gwone gwandikilwe mu jabhuli eya kabhili: “Awe uli mwana wani, lelo nabha esomwana”
34 God raised him from the dead, never to die again, as he indicated by saying, ‘I will give you what is holy and trustworthy, as I promised to David.’
One ejibhonekana mu chimali na ati amusuluye okusoka mubhafue koleleki omubhili gwae gwasiga kunyamuka, kaika kutya: “Enijokuyana obhulengelesi na amabhando ge chimali mu Daudi.”
35 As another psalm says, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’
Inu niyo insonga kaika one mu jabhuli eindi, “utakwikilisha omwelu wao abhonekane no bhubhosi.”
36 But David died, after he had done what God wanted in his own time, and he was buried with his ancestors, and his body decayed.
Wejile Daudi amala okukolela elyenda lya Nyamuanga mu lwibhulo lwae, amamile, amamibhwe amwi na bhesemwene, na abhubhwene obhunyamuke,
37 The one God raised from the dead saw no decay.
Mbe nawe unu asuluywe na Nyamuanga atabhwene bhunyamke.
38 My brothers, I want you to understand that we're telling you that through this man sins are forgiven.
Kwibyo na jimenyekane kwimwe, Bhaili, okulabha ku munu unu okusasilwa kwe bhikayo kwasimuywe.
39 Through him everyone who trusts in him is made morally right from all that is wrong—in a way that you could never be set right by the law of Moses.
Ku mwene bhuli unu kekilisha kabhalilwa echimali na masango gona age bhilagilo bhya Musa bhitakabhayanile chimali.
40 Make sure that what the prophets said doesn't happen to you:
Kwibyo mubhega bhekengi ati chinu bhaikilie abhalagi chitabhonekana kwimwe:
41 ‘You who are scornful, look in amazement, and die! For what I'm doing in your lifetime is something that you could never believe, even if someone told you!’”
Mbe Lola, emwe bhanu omugaya, mulugule no kusimagila; lwa kutyo enikola emilimu mu nsiku jemwe, omulimu gunu mtakutula kugwikilisha, nolwo omunu akabhelesha.”
42 As they were leaving, the people pleaded with them to tell them more the next Sabbath.
Mumwanya ogwo Paulo na Barnaba Bhejile bhasokao, abhanu nibhabhasabhwa bhaike emisango jo lusiku lwa Isabhato Inu eija.
43 After the meeting in the synagogue, many of the Jews and the converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas who spoke with them, encouraging them to continue to hold on to the grace of God.
Mu mwanya gwe likofyanyisho gwejile gwawa, Abhayaudi bhafu nabheikanyibhwa mu chimali bhabhalubhile Paulo na Barnaba, bhanu bhaikile nabho na nibhakomelesha bhagendelele mu chigongo cha Nyamuanga.
44 The following Sabbath almost the whole town turned out to hear the word of God.
Isabhato Inu yalubhie, kuti musi gwona gwekofanyishe okutegelesha omusango gwa Nyamuanga.
45 However, when the Jews saw the crowds, they became extremely jealous, contradicting what Paul was saying and cursing him.
Abhayaudi Bhejile bhalola elikofyanya, mbhejula lifuwa no kwaika amasango ago gagailwe ku bhinu bhinu bhyaikwaga na Paulo no kumufuma.
46 So Paul and Barnabas spoke out strongly, saying “We had to speak the word of God to you first. But now that you're rejecting it—you're deciding that you're not worthy of eternal life—well now we're turning to the foreigners. (aiōnios g166)
Mbe nawe Paulo na Barnaba bhaikile kwo bhubhasi no kwaika, “kwaliga kuli kwa bhusi-bhusi ati omusango gwa Nyamuanga gwaikililwe kwimwe okwamba. kwo kubha mwangukuliye kula okusoka kwimwe no kwilola ati mwaliga muteile kubhona obhuwanga bha kajanende, mbe mulole echijobhaindukila abhanyamaanga. (aiōnios g166)
47 That's what the Lord has told us to do: ‘I've made you a light to the foreigners, and through you salvation will go to the ends of the earth.’”
Lwa kutyo Latabugenyi Achilagilie, naika ati, “nibhateyeo emwe kuti bhelu ku bhanu bha maanga, koleleki mulete omwelulo ku mabhala gone age chalo.”
48 When the foreigners heard this they were overjoyed, praising the Lord's word, and all those chosen for eternal life trusted in God. (aiōnios g166)
Amaanga gejile gogwa gunu, bhukondeleywe no kugukusha omusango gwa Latabugenyi. Bhafu bhanu bhasolelwe kwo bhuanga bha kajanende bhekilisishe. (aiōnios g166)
49 So God's word was spread throughout the region.
Omusango gwa Latabugenyi niguswila chalo chona.
50 But the Jews incited the prominent religious women and leaders of the city to persecute Paul and Barnabas, and had them expelled from their territory.
Mbe nawe Abhayaudi bhabhelembelejishe bhanu bhesosishe na Abagasi abha insonga, amwi na abhatangasha bho musi. Ganu gasoelesishe Jinyako KU Paulo na Barnaba okwiya mbhabhesa anja yo lubibi lwo musi.
51 So they shook the dust off their feet against them as a sign of protest, and went on to Iconium.
Mbe nawe Paulo na Barnaba nibhakukumula oluteli mu magulu gebhwe. Okumala nibhagenda mu musi gwa Ikonia.
52 And the believers continued to be filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
Abheigisibhwa nibhejusibhwa no kukondelwa amwi na Mwoyo Mwelu.
