< Acts 15 >
1 Then came downe certaine from Iudea, and taught the brethren, saying, Except ye be circumcised after the maner of Moses, ye cannot be saued.
Su, wantu wamu wasokiti Antiokiya kulawa Yudeya wanjiti kuwafunda walongu walii pawatakula, “Handa pamwingiziwa ndiri jandu kulawirana na Malagaliru Mlungu gakamupananiti Musa, hapeni mlopoziwi.”
2 And when there was great dissension, and disputation by Paul and Barnabas against them, they ordeyned that Paul and Barnabas, and certaine other of them, should goe vp to Hierusalem vnto the Apostles and Elders about this question.
Shitwatira ashi shijegiti ukakatala mkulu, pa Paulu na Barinaba kulitakuziyana nawomberi, su womberi waamuwiti kuwera Paulu na Barinaba pamuhera na walongu wamu mushipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu aku Antiokiya, wagendi Yerusalemu kuwawona wantumintumi na wazewi kuusu shitwatira ashi.
3 Thus being brought forth by ye Church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conuersion of the Gentiles, and they brought great ioy vnto all the brethren.
Shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu shilongiti kwahere, nawomberi pawaweriti wankupitira Foiniki na Samariya wawagambiriti wantu yawawera Wayawudi ndiri ntambu yawamgalambukiriti Mlungu. Shisoweru ashi shiwaherepeziya nentu walongu woseri awa.
4 And when they were come to Hierusalem, they were receiued of the Church, and of the Apostles and Elders, and they declared what things God had done by them.
Pawasokiti Yerusalemu wawankwa na shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu pamuhera na wantumintumi na wazewi yawatakuliti kila shintu Mlungu shakatenditi pamuhera nawomberi.
5 But said they, certaine of the sect of the Pharises, which did beleeue, rose vp, saying, that it was needefull to circumcise them, and to commaund them to keepe the lawe of Moses.
Kumbiti wajimira wamonga wawaweriti wa shipinga sha mafalisayu wagolokiti, pawatakula, “Ndo mpaka wantu wa maisi gamonga wayigiziwi jandu na kufundwa kugafata malagaliru ga Musa.”
6 Then the Apostles and Elders came together to looke to this matter.
Su wantumintumi na wazewi waliwoniti pamuhera kushilola weri shitwatira ashi.
7 And when there had bene great disputation, Peter rose vp, and said vnto them, Ye men and brethren, ye know that a good while ago, among vs God chose out me, that the Gentiles by my mouth should heare the worde of the Gospel, and beleeue.
Pawalitakuziyiti kwa shipindi shitali, Peteru kagolokiti kalonga, “Mwalongu wangu, mwenga muvimana handa tangu kwanja Mlungu kafiriti kuzyagula neni muwamu mwamwenga nuwabweleri Shisoweru Shiwagira, wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi wapati kupikinira na kujimira.
8 And God which knoweth the heartes, bare them witnesse, in giuing vnto them ye holy Ghost euen as he did vnto vs.
Na Mlungu yakavimana moyu gwa wantu, kalanguziya handa kawajimira kwa kuwayupa nawomberi Rohu Mnanagala handa yakatuyupiti twenga.
9 And he put no difference betweene vs and them, after that by faith he had purified their heartes.
Katubaguliti ndiri pakati petu na womberi, kayipungiti myoyu kwa njimiru.
10 Nowe therefore, why tempt ye God, to lay a yoke on the disciples neckes, which neither our fathers, nor we were able to beare?
Vinu su, kwa shishi kumjera Mlungu kwa kuwapapiziya wafundwa awa visanka vyeni pota wambuyi wetu, pota twenga tuweza ndiri kulitwika?
11 But we beleeue, through the grace of the Lord Iesus Christ to be saued, euen as they doe.
Ndala! Tujimiriti na tulopoziwitwi kwa njira ya manemu ga Mtuwa Yesu.” Twengapa handa womberi.
12 Then all the multitude kept silence, and heard Barnabas and Paul, which told what signes and wonders God had done among the Gentiles by them.
Shikundi shoseri shitamiti jii pawampikinira Barinaba na Paulu wankutakulira mauzauza na makangashu geni Mlungu kagatenditi pakati pawu wantu wawawera ndiri Wayawudi.
13 And when they helde their peace, Iames answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken vnto me.
Pawamaliriti kuyowera, Yakobu kanjiti kulonga, “Mwalongu wangu, mumpikaniri!
14 Simeon hath declared, howe God first did visite the Gentiles, to take of them a people vnto his Name.
Simoni katakuliriti Mlungu kwanjira kwanja ntambu yakalitendiriti na wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi, kasyagula wamonga wawu waweri wantu wakuwi.
15 And to this agree the woordes of the Prophets, as it is written,
Visoweru vya Wambuyi wa Mlungu vyateratera nakamu handa Malembu Mananagala ntambu yagalonga,
16 After this I will returne, and will builde againe the tabernacle of Dauid, which is fallen downe, and the ruines thereof will I build againe, and I will set it vp,
Mtuwa katakula, ‘Pa aga hambuyi Na kuuwuziya Ufalumi wa Dawudi Hanyawi pahala pakuwi Na kupagangamaziya kayi.
17 That the residue of men might seeke after the Lord, and all the Gentiles vpon whom my Name is called, saith the Lord which doeth all these things.
Na wantu woseri, wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi nuwashemiti waweri waneni hawizi kwaneni.
18 From the beginning of the worlde, God knoweth all his workes. (aiōn )
Ndo ntambu yakatakula Mtuwa, yakatenditi shitwatira ashi kamanika kwanjira makashu.’ (aiōn )
19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them of the Gentiles that are turned to God,
“Hangu neni amuwa ntambu ayi, aga nuwalagalirani kotukuyumbisiya wantu wawawera ndiri Wayawudi wawamgalambukira Mlungu.
20 But that we send vnto them, that they abstaine themselues from filthinesse of idoles, and fornication, and that that is strangled, and from blood.
Su tuwajegerani luhamba kuwagambira nawaliya viboga vyawayingiziyiti mnumba kwa kutambikira vinyagu vya wamlungu, walituli gweka na uhumba, nawaliya shigongolu yoseri yawammindula sungu, nawalanda mwazi.
21 For Moses of olde time hath in euery citie them that preache him, seeing he is read in the Synagogues euery Sabbath day.
Malagaliru ga Musa gaweriti gabetulwa shipindi shitali munumba ya Mlungu kila lishaka lya kwoyera, na visoweru vyakuwi wavibwera mukila lushi.”
22 Then it seemed good to the Apostles and Elders with the whole Church, to sende chosen men of their owne companie to Antiochia with Paul and Barnabas: to wit, Iudas whose surname was Barsabas and Silas, which were chiefe men among the brethren,
Shakapanu wantumintumi na Wazewi, pamuhera na shipinga shoseri sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu, waamuwiti kuwasyagula wantu wamu pakati pawu na kuwatuma wagendi Antiokiya pamuhera na Paulu na Barisaba. Wawasyaguliti Yuda yawamshemiti viraa Barinaba na yumonga yakashemitwi Sila, wantu wawili yawaweriti walongoziya pakati pa walongu.
23 And wrote letters by them after this maner, THE APOSTLES, and the Elders, and the brethren, vnto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antiochia, and in Syria, and in Cilicia, send greeting.
Wawapananiti luhamba alu, “Twenga wantumintumi na wazewi, walongu wenu, twankuwalamsiya mwenga wantu wa maisi gamonga wa aku Antiokiya na Siriya na Kilikiya.
24 Forasmuch as we haue heard, that certaine which went out from vs, haue troubled you with wordes, and cumbred your mindes, saying, Ye must be circumcised and keepe the Lawe: to whom we gaue no such commandement,
Tupikanira kuwera wantu wamonga kulawa aku wawagaziya kwa visoweru vyawu, wayitula myoyu ya mwenga mulyoga. Kumbiti watenda hangu pota ya luusa yoseri kulawa kwatwenga.
25 It seemed therefore good to vs, when we were come together with one accord, to send chosen men vnto you, with our beloued Barnabas and Paul,
Hangu, tuamuwa kuliwona pamwera kuwasyagula wantu wamu na kuwatuma kwamwenga pamwera na waganja wetu Barinaba na Paulu,
26 Men that haue giuen vp their liues for the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ.
weni wafiriti wagamizii ukomu wawu kwa ntambu ya lihengu lya Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu.
27 We haue therefore sent Iudas and Silas, which shall also tell you ye same things by mouth.
Shakapanu tuwatuma Yuda na Sila kwamwenga, awa hawawagambirani weni aga gatugalembiti,
28 For it seemed good to the holy Ghost, and to vs, to lay no more burden vpon you, then these necessary things,
Rohu munanagala na twenga tujimira kotukuwatwika visanka nentu ya vitwatira avi vya mana.
29 That is, that ye abstaine from things offered to idoles, and blood, and that that is strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keepe your selues, ye shall doe well. Fare ye well.
Namliya viboga vyawatambikiriti shinyagu, namlanda mwazi, namliya vinofu vya shigongolu yawamuminduliti na mlikali weri na uhumba. Muwera mtenda viheri handa pamshapira kutenda vitwatira avi. Mwakashina.”
30 Nowe when they were departed, they came to Antiochia, and after that they had assembled the multitude, they deliuered the Epistle.
Wajumbi awa wawatumiti wasoka Antiokiya kweni wawashemiti wawumini waliwoni, wawayupa luhamba alu.
31 And when they had read it, they reioyced for the consolation.
Pawasomiti Luhamba alu, visoweru vyakuwi viwayupiti moyu, wanemeleriti nentu.
32 And Iudas and Silas being Prophets, exhorted the brethren with many wordes, and strengthened them.
Yuda na Sila weni nawomberi waweriti wambuyi, wayoweriti na walongu awa kwa shipindi shitali wankuwayupa moyu na kuwagagamaziya.
33 And after they had taried there a space, they were let goe in peace of the brethren vnto the Apostles.
Pawatamiti aku kwa shipindi tunga, walongu wa Antiokiya walonga kwaheri na kuwafilira ponga, shakapanu wawuya kwa wawatumiti walii. Malembu gamu gana shipandi ashi
34 Notwithstanding Silas thought good to abide there still.
kumbiti Sila kaamuwiti kusigala.
35 Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antiochia, teaching and preaching with many other, the worde of the Lord.
Paulu na Barinaba wasigala Antiokiya kwa katepu, pawafunda na kubwera visoweru vya Mtuwa, pamwera na wantu wamonga watangala.
36 But after certaine dayes, Paul said vnto Barnabas, Let vs returne, and visite our brethren in euery citie, where we haue preached the worde of the Lord, and see how they doe.
Pa mashaka gamu, Paulu kamgambiriti Barinaba, “Tuwuyi tukawatyangiri walongu walii mukila lushi patubweriti visoweru vya Mtuwa, tukaloli ntambu yawendereyiti.”
37 And Barnabas counselled to take with them Iohn, called Marke.
Barinaba kafiriti wamtoli viraa Yohani yawamshema Mariku.
38 But Paul thought it not meete to take him vnto their companie, which departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the worke.
Kumbiti Paulu kafiriti ndiri kumtola mariku, mweni pamberi kawalekiti Pamfiliya kulii na kulema kuwera pamwera mulihengu lyawu.
39 Then were they so stirred, that they departed asunder one from the other, so that Barnabas tooke Marke, and sailed vnto Cyprus.
Su, kulawira likakatala likulu pakati pawu, na walekana Barinaba kamtola Mariku, wakwena meli kugenda kupiru.
40 And Paul chose Silas and departed, being commended of the brethren vnto the grace of God.
Nayomberi Paulu kamsyagula Sila, na pa walongu wa pahala panu kumtula pasi pa ulolera wa maheri ga Mtuwa.
41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, stablishing the Churches.
Mumwanja agu kapitiriti Siriya na Kilikiya, pakavigangamaziya vipinga vya wantu yawamjimira Kristu,
