< Acts 13 >
1 There were also in the Church that was at Antiochia, certaine Prophets and teachers, as Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manahen (which had bin brought vp with Herod the Tetrarche) and Saul.
Linu mwi kereke ya Antiyoke, kuvena vaporofita ni maruti. Vavali Barnabasi, Simiyoni (Niga), Lusiyasi wa kwa Sirene ni Manaeni (yavali mulikani wa kuvu hwile wa Heroda we tetarachi) ni Saule.
2 Nowe as they ministred to the Lord, and fasted, the holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul, for the worke whereunto I haue called them.
Havavali kukwete ku zimba niku lumbeka Simwine nikuli nyima zilyo, Luho Lujolola chi lwawamba kuti, “Munivikile kumbali Barnabasi ni Saule, vapange musevezi univa vasumpili”.
3 Then fasted they and prayed, and layde their hands on them, and let them goe.
Havamane ku linyima zilyo ni kulapela, chiva vavika mayanza avo hava vakwame, niva va tuma.
4 And they, after they were sent foorth of the holy Ghost, came downe vnto Seleucia, and from thence they sayled to Cyprus.
Mi Barnabasi ni Saule vavali kuteki Luhuho Lujolola chiba yenda kusezumuka kwa Silusiya; kuzwaho chi vayenda cha chisepe mu chiwoli cha Sipurasi.
5 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the worde of God in the Synagogues of the Iewes: and they had also Iohn to their minister.
Hava vena mwi toropo ya Salamisi, chiva kutaza linzwi lya Simwine mu masinagoge a Majuda. Vavena ni Joani Mareka avali mutusi wavo.
6 So when they had gone throughout the yle vnto Paphus, they found a certaine sorcerer, a false prophet, being a Iewe, named Bariesus,
Linu hava valiku yenda muchiwoli choonse cha Pafosi, chi vawana mukwame wa mavivo, muporofita wa mapa wa Mujuda; izina lyakwe avali nji Bar- Jesu.
7 Which was with the Deputie Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. He called vnto him Barnabas and Saul, and desired to heare the woorde of God.
Uzu iñanga yavali kwina chizwale kumuyendisi wa chikiliti Sergiusi Paulusi, mukwame yavali kutalifite. Cha ngongota Barnbasi ni Saule, kakuti avali kusaka kuzuwa inzwi lye Ireeza.
8 But Elymas, ye sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstoode them, and sought to turne away the Deputie from the faith.
Kono Elimasi, “wa mavivo” (bulyo inzina lyakwe mulivali kutolokelwa) chalika kuvakanisa, chalika ku kuzwisa muyendisi mwi ntumelo.
9 Then Saul (which also is called Paul) being full of the holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,
Kono Saule yavali kusumpwi Paulusi, yave zwile Luho Lujolola, chamu lola kakumu luvukila.
10 And sayde, O full of all subtiltie and all mischiefe, the childe of the deuill, and enemie of all righteousnesse, wilt thou not cease to peruert the straight waies of the Lord?
ni chati, “Iwe mwana wa muswisu wa Javulusi, wizwile vuchengi ni muhupulo muvi. U chila chenzila zonse za kuruka. Kete nosiye kutenzeka inzila ziwolokete za Simwine, ko siye?
11 Nowe therefore behold, the hand of the Lord is vpon thee, and thou shalt be blinde, and not see the sunne for a season. And immediately there fel on him a mist and a darknes; and he went about, seeking some to leade him by the hand.
Hanu ulole, iyanza lya Simwine lina hewulu lyako, mi move u chivofu. Kente uvone izuva mwi nakozana”. Hahobulyo cha wilwa kavundu ni kafifi; chakala kuzimbuluka ni kukumpila vantu kuti bamukwate kwiyanza.
12 Then the Deputie when he sawe what was done, beleeued, and was astonied at the doctrine of the Lord.
Linu muyendisi havona bulyo ku chiva tendahali, cha zumina, kakuti ava komokiswa ka mulutilo kaza Simwine.
13 Nowe when Paul and they that were with him were departed by shippe from Paphus, they came to Perga a citie of Pamphylia: then Iohn departed from them, and returned to Hierusalem.
Haho Paulusi ni va valikani vakwe chiva lilonga niku zuha kuzwa mwa Pafosi ni kwiza mwa Perga yamwa Pamfilia. Kono Joani cha vasiya ni kuvola kwa Jerusalema.
14 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antiochia a citie of Pisidia, and went into the Synagogue on ye Sabbath day, and sate downe.
Paulusi ni valikani chivayenda kwa Perga ni kwiza kwa Antiyoke ya Pisidia. Umo chi vayenda mu masinagoge mwizuva lye Nsavata ni kwi kala hansi.
15 And after the lecture of the Law and Prophets, the rulers of ye Synagogue sent vnto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye haue any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
Ha kumanwa kuvala za mulawo ni vaporofita, mi vayendi va ma masinagoge chiva tumina iñusa libalikuti, “Mizwale, chikwina liñusa lya kulisusuweza kuamana ni vantu vena hanu, mui wamba.”
16 Then Paul stoode vp and beckened with the hand, and sayde, Men of Israel, and yee that feare God, hearken.
Mi Paulusi cha zimana ni kunyanganisa iyanza; ni kuti, “Bakwame va Isiraele ni nwe mutompa Ireeza, mutekeleze.
17 The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt in the land of Egypt, and with an high arme brought them out thereof.
Ireeza wa vaantu va Isiraele avaketi waveshetu ventanzi mi ava pangi chisi chivekali mwi nkanda ya Egapita, mi cheyanza lyakwe lina mata avava zwisi mwateni.
18 And about the time of fourtie yeeres, suffered he their maners in the wildernesse.
Ka zilimo za makumi one nakwate inkulo yakwe chabo mwihalaupa.
19 And he destroied seuen nations in the land of Chanaan, and deuided their lad to them by lot.
Kuzwaaho ne haya mishobo ivali kukwana iyanza ni yobele mwinkanda ya Kanana, chaha vaantu vetu inkanda yavo kuti ive chiyolo.
20 Then afterward he gaue vnto them Iudges about foure hundreth and fiftie yeeres, vnto the time of Samuel the Prophet.
Zonse zintu ziva pangahali mu zilimo zina myanda yone ni zilimo zichita makumi eyanza. Hakumana zonse izo zintu, Ireeza na vaha vaatuli mane kusika muporofita Samwele.
21 So after that, they desired a King, and God gaue vnto them Saul, the sonne of Cis, a man of ye tribe of Beniamin, by the space of fourty yeres.
Linu vaantu chi vavuza Simwine, mi Ireeza na vaha Saule mwana wa Kishi, mukwame yavali kuzwa mulusika lwa Benjamine; kuva simwine ka zilimo za makumi one.
22 And after he had taken him away, he raised vp Dauid to be their King, of whom he witnessed, saying, I haue found Dauid the sonne of Iesse, a man after mine owne heart, which will doe all things that I will.
Kuzwa aho Ireeza na muzwisa havu simwine, Na zimika Davida kuti ave simwine wavo. Avali nji Davida wava wambi Ireeza, 'Na wana Davida mwana wa Jese, ave mukwame wina kwinkulo yangu, u tenda zonse zini suni kuti azitende.'
23 Of this mans seede hath God according to his promise raised vp to Israel, ye Sauiour Iesus:
Kuzwa mulusika lozu mukwame Ireeza na letela Isilaele muhazi, Jesu, sina kamwa vasepisize ku tenda.
24 When Iohn had first preached before his coming the baptisme of repentance to all the people of Israel.
Ichi chivakali kutendahala lili, pili Jesu na seni kusika, Joani sapili avezivahazi ze nkolovezo ya kuvaka ku vantu vonse va Isiraele.
25 And when Iohn had fulfilled his course, he saide, Whom ye thinke that I am, I am not he: but beholde, there commeth one after me, whose shooe of his feete I am not worthy to loose.
Aho Joani avali kumaniniza mutendo wakwe, chata kuti, 'Uzeza kuti njeme ini? Kanjime uzo. Kono mutekeleze, uzo yokezite mumasule angu, makatulo aku matende akwe kani swaneli ku a sumununa.”
26 Yee men and brethren, children of the generation of Abraham, and whosoeuer among you feareth God, to you is the woorde of this saluation sent.
Vamwangu, vaana vazwa muluzuvo lwa Abrahama, navo mukati kenu valapela Ireeza, nji kwetu uwu mulaezo we mpuluso ku uvatuminwa.
27 For the inhabitants of Hierusalem, and their rulers, because they knewe him not, nor yet the woordes of the Prophets, which are read euery Sabbath day, they haue fulfilled them in condemning him.
Linu avo vahala mwa Jerusalema, niva yendisi vavo, kena vava mulemuhi, mi nive zuzilikiza zivali kuwambiwa kuva porofita kakuti zi valiwa i Nsabata ni NSabata zivali za kumunyasa.
28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate to kill him.
Nihakuba vulyo kena vava wani ivaka ilotu liyelele ifu lyakwe, niva kumbila Pilato kuti amwihaya.
29 And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they tooke him downe from the tree, and put him in a sepulchre.
Havamana ku tenda zintu zonse zi ñoletwe zi amana naye, chiba mususa kwi samu, ni ku mulalika mwi vita.
30 But God raised him vp from the dead.
Kono Ireeza na muvusa ku vafwile.
31 And hee was seene many dayes of them, which came vp with him from Galile to Hierusalem, which are his witnesses vnto the people.
Ava vonahali kamazuva mangi ku vonse vavali kwiza naye kuzwa kwa Galileya kuya kwa Jerusalema. Avo vaantu nahanu vavavi impaki zakwe ku vaantu.
32 And we declare vnto you, that touching the promise made vnto the fathers,
Linu tuka miletete mulayezo mulotu we nsepiso iva tendahali kuva zazi ventazi.
33 God hath fulfilled it vnto vs their children, in that he raised vp Iesus, euen as it is written in the seconde Psalme, Thou art my Sonne: this day haue I begotten thee.
Ireeza ave zuzilizi insepiso kwetu, vana vavo, mukuti vulyo ava avavusi Jesu kumuvoza kuvuhala. Sina haku ñoletwe mwa Lisamu wa vu veli: 'U mwanangu, sunu nava njime veso.
34 Nowe as concerning that he raised him vp from the dead, no more to returne to corruption, he hath said thus, I wil giue you the holy things of Dauid, which are faithfull.
Hape cha vuniti bwakuti avamuvusi ku bafwile ili kuti muvili wakwe kanzi uvoli, cha wamba buti: “Kani kuhe kujolola ni mboyoti zeniti za Davida.'
35 Wherefore hee sayeth also in another place, Thou wilt not suffer thine Holy one to see corruption.
Izi njizi vawambiwa muzumwi Lisamu, 'Kente uzuminine vako va jolola kuvola.'
36 Howbeit, Dauid after hee had serued his time by the counsell of God, hee slept, and was laid with his fathers, and sawe corruption.
Kuzwa aho Davida hava ni lusika lwakwe ava valekeli intakazo ya Ireeza, cha lala mi na lalikiwa ni vesi, mi ava voni kuvoli,
37 But he whom God raised vp, sawe no corruption.
kono uzo Ireeza ya vuse kente na vone kuvola.
38 Be it knowen vnto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached vnto you the forgiuenesse of sinnes.
Linu musiye izizintu zi zivahale kwenu, vakwangu, mozu mukwame ku kwizibaheze kwenu kuwondelwa kwe zivi.
39 And from al things, from which ye could not be iustified by the Law of Moses, by him euery one that beleeueth, is iustified.
Kakwe yense yozumina kwali mwalukululwe muzintu zonse za milawo ya Mushe usena uvali kulukulula.
40 Beware therefore lest that come vpon you, which is spoken of in the Prophets,
Imi haho mutokomele kuti zintu maporofita zi vavali kuwamba kanzi zitendahali kwenu:
41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and vanish away: for I woorke a woorke in your daies, a woorke which yee shall not beleeue, if a man would declare it you.
'Muvone, inwe vanyazeleza, mu mukomokwe mane musinyehe; Kakuti ni tenda mutendo mu mazuva anu, mutendo usete ni muzumine, ni haike muntu niha wiziva haza kwenu.”
42 And when they were come out of the Synagogue of the Iewes, the Gentiles besought, that they woulde preach these woordes to them the next Sabbath day.
Imi Paulusi ni Barnabasi havakatuka, vaantu chi vava kumbila ahulu kuti ni vawole kuwamba izo ziwambo ziswana mwi Nsabata ikeza.
43 Nowe when the congregation was dissolued, many of the Iewes and Proselytes that feared God, followed Paul and Barnabas, which spake to them, and exhorted them to continue in the grace of God.
Linu mukopano mu masigoge hau mana, vungi bwa maJuda ni ma Sandika chive chilila Paulusi ni Barnabasi, vava wambi kubali ni kuva susuweza kuti bazwile habusi ni chisemo che Ireeza.
44 And ye next Sabbath day came almost the whole citie together, to heare the worde of God.
Kulye Nsabata lichilila, ha haho itoropo yonse ivakopani hamwina kwiza kuzuwa inzwi lya Simwine.
45 But when the Iewes saw the people, they were full of enuie, and spake against those things, which were spoken of Paul, contrarying them, and railing on them.
Mi maJuda havavona chisi, chive njililwa muuna ni kuwamba zivilala kwineku lya Paulusi ni kumutuka.
46 Then Paul and Barnabas spake boldly, and sayde, It was necessarie that the woorde of God shoulde first haue beene spoken vnto you: but seeing yee put it from you, and iudge your selues vnworthie of euerlasting life, loe, we turne to the Gentiles. (aiōnios )
Kono Paulusi ni Barnabasi chi wamba ni basatiyi, “Kuwoleka kuti inzwi lye Ireeze liwambwe sapili kwenu. Kulolelela mumu liñahikila kule nanwe ni kulihinda inwe muvene kuti kamuswaneli vuhalo bwakuya kwile, muvone katu vole kuva kuhanze. (aiōnios )
47 For so hath the Lord commanded vs, saying, I haue made thee a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be the saluation vnto the end of the world.
Linu Simwine avatu leyeli, kakuta kuti, 'Ni vamiviki umo sina kaliseli ku va hanze, kuti mulete impuluso ku zibaka zonse cha hansi.”'
48 And when the Gentiles heard it, they were glad, and glorified the woorde of the Lord: and as many as were ordeined vnto eternall life, beleeued. (aiōnios )
Mi bakuhanze hava zuwabulyo, chi vasanga ni kutanga kutemba inzwi lya Simwine. Sina vungi havava ketelwe kuvuhalo vusa mani chiba zumina. (aiōnios )
49 Thus the worde of the Lord was published throughout the whole countrey.
Inzwi lye Ireeza chilya hasana mu chisi chonse
50 But the Iewes stirred certaine deuoute and honourable women, and the chiefe men of the citie, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coastes.
Kono maJuda chiva susuweza vanakazi ba tompeha ni kukola, mane vulyo ni vakwame vayendisa itoropo. Izo chizi wekeza ku nyandisa Paulusi ni Barnabasi ni vasohela hanze kule kwenyinza ye toropo.
51 But they shooke off the dust of their feete against them, and came vnto Iconium.
Kono Paulusi ni Barnabasi chiba ba kukumwini isuko kumatende avo kuvali. Linu chi vayenda kwi toropo ya Ikone.
52 And the disciples were filled with ioy, and with the holy Ghost.
Mi barutwana vavali kwizwile kusanga ni cha Luho Lujolola.
