Acts 15
1 And certain men which came down from Judæa taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
Anthu ena ochokera ku Yudeya anafika ku Antiokeya ndipo amaphunzitsa abale kuti, “Ngati simuchita mdulidwe potsata mwambo wa Mose, simungapulumuke.”
2 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.
Zimenezi zinachititsa Paulo ndi Barnaba kuti atsutsane nawo kwambiri. Kotero Paulo ndi Barnaba anasankhidwa pamodzi ndi abale ena kuti apite ku Yerusalemu kukaonana ndi atumwi ndi akulu ampingo kukakambirana za nkhaniyi.
3 And being brought on their way by the Assembly, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.
Mpingo unawaperekeza, ndipo pamene amadutsa ku Foinike ndi Samariya, iwo anafotokoza momwe a mitundu ina anatembenukira mtima. Nkhani imeneyi inakondweretsa kwambiri abale onse.
4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the Assembly, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.
Atafika ku Yerusalemu, iwo analandiridwa ndi mpingo, pamodzi ndi atumwi ndiponso akulu ampingo. Paulo ndi Barnaba anawafotokozera zonse zimene Mulungu anachita kudzera mwa iwo.
5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
Kenaka, okhulupirira ena amene kale anali a gulu la Afarisi anayimirira ndipo anati, “Anthu a mitundu ina ayenera kuchita mdulidwe ndi kusunga malamulo a Mose.”
6 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.
Atumwi ndi akulu ampingo anasonkhana kuti akambirane za nkhaniyi.
7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
Atakambirana kwambiri Petro anayimirira, ndipo anawayankhula nati: “Abale, mukudziwa kuti masiku oyambirira Mulungu anandisankha ine pakati panu kuti anthu a mitundu ina amve kuchokera pakamwa panga mawu a Uthenga Wabwino ndi kukhulupirira.
8 And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
Mulungu amene amadziwa mtima wa munthu, Iye anaonetsa kuti anawalandira powapatsa Mzimu Woyera, monga momwe anachita kwa ife.
9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
Iye sanasiyanitse pakati pa ife ndi iwo, pakuti anayeretsa mitima yawo mwachikhulupiriro.
10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
Tsopano, chifukwa chiyani mukuyesa Mulungu poyika goli mʼkhosi la ophunzira, limene ngakhale ife kapena makolo athu sangathe kulisenza?
11 But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
Osatero! Ife tikukhulupirira kuti tinapulumutsidwa mwachisomo cha Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu, monga iwonso anachitira.”
12 Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
Gulu lonse linakhala chete pamene amamvetsera Barnaba ndi Paulo akuwawuza za zizindikiro zodabwitsa zimene Mulungu anazichita pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina kudzera mwa iwo.
13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:
Iwo atatha kuyankhula, Yakobo anayankhula nati: “Abale, tandimverani.
14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
Simoni watifotokozera mmene Mulungu poyamba paja anaonetsa kukhudzidwa kwake pomwe anatenga anthu a mitundu ina kukhala ake.
15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
Mawu a aneneri akuvomereza zimenezi, monga kwalembedwa kuti,
16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
“‘Zitatha izi Ine ndidzabwerera ndipo ndidzamanganso nyumba ya Davide imene inagwa. Ndidzakonzanso malo amene anagumuka, ndi kuyimanganso,
17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
kuti anthu otsalawo afunefune Ambuye, ndi anthu onse a mitundu ina amene atchedwa ndi dzina langa, akutero Ambuye, amene amachita zinthu zimenezi
zinaululidwa kuyambira kalekale.’ (aiōn g165)
19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
“Chifukwa chake, ine ndikuweruza kuti tisamavute anthu a mitundu ina amene atembenuka mtima kutsata Mulungu.
20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
Koma tiwalembere iwo, kuwawuza kuti asadye chakudya choperekedwa kwa mafano, apewenso dama, asadyenso nyama zochita kupotola kapena kudya magazi.
21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
Pakuti malamulo a Mose akhala akulalikidwa mu mzinda uliwonse, kuyambira kalekale ndipo amawerengedwa mʼMasunagoge tsiku la Sabata.”
22 Then pleased it the apostles and elders, with the whole Assembly, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren:
Pamenepo atumwi ndi akulu ampingo, pamodzi ndi mpingo onse, anagwirizana zosankha anthu ena pakati pawo kuti awatume ku Antiokeya pamodzi ndi Paulo ndi Bamaba. Iwo anasankha Yudasi, wotchedwa Barsaba ndi Sila, anthu awiri amene anali atsogoleri pakati pa abale,
23 And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia:
kuti akapereke kalata yonena kuti, Kuchokera kwa atumwi ndi akulu ampingo, abale anu, Kwa anthu a mitundu ina okhulupirira a ku Antiokeya, Siriya ndi Kilikiya: Tikupereka moni.
24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
Ife tamva kuti anthu ena ochokera pakati pathu, amene sitinawatume anakusokonezani maganizo ndi kukuvutitsani ndi zimene amakuwuzani.
25 It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Tsono ife tagwirizana kuti, tisankhe anthu ena ndi kuwatumiza kwa inu pamodzi ndi abale athu okondedwa Paulo ndi Barnaba,
26 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
anthu amene anapereka moyo wawo chifukwa cha dzina la Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth.
Nʼchifukwa chake, tikutumiza Yudasi ndi Sila kuti adzachitire umboni ndi mawu a pakamwa pawo za zimene ife talemba.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
Pakuti zinakomera Mzimu Woyera ndiponso ife kuti tisakusenzetseni katundu wina, kupatula zoyenera zokhazi:
29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
Mupewe kudya chakudya choperekedwa nsembe kwa mafano, musadye magazi, kapena nyama yopha mopotola ndiponso musachite dama. Mudzachita bwino mukapewa zimenezi. Tsalani bwino.
30 So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:
Anthu aja anatumidwa ndipo anafika ku Antiokeya, kumene anasonkhanitsa mpingo pamodzi napereka kalatayo.
31 Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
Anthuwo anawerenga kalatayo ndipo abalewo anakondwa chifukwa cha mawu ake achirimbikitso.
32 And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.
Yudasi ndi Sila amene analinso aneneri, ananena zambiri zowalimbikitsa ndi kuwapatsa mphamvu abalewo.
33 And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles.
Atakhala kumeneko kwa kanthawi, abale aja anatsanzikana nawo mwamtendere kuti abwerere kwa amene anawatuma.
34 Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.
Koma Sila anasankha kuti akhale komweko.
35 Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
Koma Paulo ndi Barnaba anatsalira ku Antiokeya kumene iwo pamodzi ndi ena ambiri anaphunzitsa ndi kulalikira Mawu a Ambuye.
36 And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do.
Patapita masiku ena Paulo anati kwa Barnaba, “Tiyeni tibwerere kuti tikaone abale ku mizinda yonse imene tinalalika Mawu a Ambuye ndipo tikaone mmene akuchitira.”
37 And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.
Barnaba anafuna kutenga Yohane, wotchedwanso Marko, kuti apite nawo.
38 But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
Koma Paulo anaganiza kuti sichinali cha nzeru kumutenga Yohane chifukwa iye anawathawa ku Pamfiliya ndipo sanapitirire nawo pa ntchito.
39 And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;
Iwo anatsutsana kwambiri kotero kuti anapatukana. Barnaba anatenga Marko ndipo anakwera sitima ya pamadzi kupita ku Kupro.
40 And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.
Paulo anasankha Sila. Abale atawapempherera kwa Ambuye kuti alandire chisomo, ananyamuka.
41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the Assemblies.
Iye anadutsa ku Siriya ndi ku Kilikiya kupita akulimbikitsa mipingo.
