Acts 11
1 AND the apostles and brethren that were in Judæa heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
Batumwa, ne bonse bashoma Yesu, balikuba mu Yudeya, balanyumfweti naboyo bantu ba mishobo naimbi balatambula maswi a Lesa.
2 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
Petulo mpwalabwelela ku Yelusalemu, bantu balikuba bayuminina nta kuciyisho ca kupalula, balatotekeshana nendi.
3 Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.
Balo balambeti, “Obe walaya kwingila mu ng'anda ya muntu wabula kupalulwa, ne kulya nendi pamo.”
4 But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying,
Petulo walatatika kubambila cena bintu byalenshika. Walambeti,
5 I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:
“Ame ndalikupaila mu munshi wa Yopa. Popelapo mucimbonimboni ndalabona cintu calikwisa panshi kufuma kwilu. Calikuboneketi cikwisa cinene casungwa nkokola shina, calesa mpondalikuba.
6 Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
Mpondalalangishisha, ndalabonamo banyama bamucisuwa ne beshikukalaba kayi ne bikeni bishikuluka.
7 And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
Ndalanyumfwa maswi akung'ambileti, ‘Petulo, punduka, koshina, ulye.’
8 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.
Nomba ndalambeti, ‘Sobwe, Nkambo! Ame nkanandyapo cintu cabula kuswepa, cishikusesemya kufumina na nililyoni.’
9 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
Nomba liswi lyalafuma kwilu lyalamba kayi eti, ‘Bintu mbyalaswepeshe Lesa, obe kotambeti byashilila.’
10 And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.
Ici calenshika tunkanda tutatu, panyuma pakendi byonse byalamantwa kayi kuya kwilu.
11 And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Cæsarea unto me.
Pacindi copeleco, kung'anda nkondali kwikala, kwalashika bantu batatu, balatumwa kulinjame kufuma ku Kaisaleya.
12 And the spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house:
Mushimu Uswepa walang'ambileti, kantakana kuya nabo sobwe. Aba banse basanu ne umo nabo balanshindikila, mpaka twalengila mu ng'anda ya Kolonelyo.
13 And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;
Neye walatwambila mbuli ncalabona mungelo kaliwemana mu ng'anda yakendi, ne kumwambileti, ‘Kotuma bantu ku Yopa benga bakuwe Shimoni, ukute kukwiweti Petulo.
14 Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.
Nendi nakwambile maswi alupulusho lwakobe, ne bamung'nda yakobe bonse.’
15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
Lino mpondalatatika kwamba, Mushimu Uswepa walesa palyendibo, mbuli ncewalesa pali njafwe pasa pakutatika.
16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
Popelapo ndalanuka maswi asa ngalamba Mwami Yesu akwambeti, ‘Yohane walikubatisha ne menshi, nomba amwe nimukabatishiwe ne Mushimu Uswepa.’
17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?
Neco na Lesa walabapa cipo cimocimo mbuli ncalatupa afwe mpotwalashoma Mwami Yesu Klistu, ame njame bani kwambeti ndimukanishe Lesa?”
18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
Mpobalanyumfweco basa balikutotekeshana ne Petulo, balacileka kumutoteka. Balatembaula Lesa ne kwambeti, “Anu ekwambeti Lesa labapa naboyo bantu batamwinshi, colwe cakwambeti bashiye micito yabo yaipa ne kutambula buyumi.”
19 Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.
Basa bashoma Klistu, balapalangana cebo camapensho alabuka palufu lwa Stefano. Balakashika ku Fenishiya, ku Saipulasi ne ku Antiyokeya. Aba bantu nkabali kukambaukila muntu uliyense sobwe, nsombi Bayuda bonka.
20 And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus.
Palikuba bantu nabambi balafumina ku Saipulasi, neku Kulene. Aba balashika ku Antiyokeya, kabaya kukambauka ku Bagiliki naboyo, Mulumbe Waina ulambanga sha Mwami Yesu.
21 And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.
Ngofu sha Mwami Lesa shalikubanyamfwilisha, cakwinseti bantu bangi balashoma ne kusandukila kuli Mwami Yesu.
22 Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.
Makani awa mpwalanyumfwika ku mubungano waku Yelusalemu, balatumako Banabasi ku Antiyokeya.
23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.
Mpwalashika ne kubona Lesa ncalapa colwe abo bantu, walakondwa ne kubayuminisheti batwalilile kushoma Mwami Yesu ne myoyo yabo yonse.
24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.
Banabasi walikuba muntu walulama, walikutanguninwa ne Mushimu Uswepa ne lushomo lunene, neco bantu bangi balaletwa kuli Mwami Yesu.
25 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:
Kufumapo Banabasi walaya ku Taliso, kuya kulangaula Saulo.
26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
Mpwalamucana Saulo, walesa nendi pamo ku Antiyokeya. Bonse pamo balekala mu mubungano waku Antiyokeya, ne kwiyisha bantu bangi kwacaka cimo. Uku ku Antiyokeya, enkobatatikila beshikwiya kukwiweti baklistu.
27 And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.
Mu masubayo kwalashika bashinshimi ba Lesa nabambi ku Antiyokeya balafumina ku Yelusalemu.
28 And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Cæsar.
Naumbi mushishimi lina lyakendi Agabu, walemana ne kushinshima kupitila mu mushimu wa Lesa, kwambeti mucishi conse mulakabanga nsala inene. Nsala iyi yalabako pacindi Kulodiyasi mpwalikuba mwami mukulene waku Loma.
29 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judæa:
Cindici baklistu balayeyeti uliyense atumeko lunyamfwo kubanse balikwikala mu Yudeya, uliyense atume kwelana mbuli ncabele pang'anda, ico ncelela kukonsha.
30 Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
Mpobalapwa kubunganya bipo, balapa Banabasi ne Saulo kwambeti batwale ku bamakulene ba mubungano waku Yelusalemu.
