Acts 13

1 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

Itungili mi itekeelo nila ku Antiokia, ai akoli ang'wi a anyakidagu ni a ng'walimu. Ai atulaa Barnaba, Simioni (nai witang'waa Nigeri), Lukio nua ku Krene, Manaeni (muluna ni shanga nua sakami nuang'wa Herode mutongeeli nua mukoa), nu Sauli.

2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

Nai atulaa akumukulya uMukulu nu kudila kulya, uNg'wau Ng'welu ai uligitilye, “Nkomatuilyi kumpelo uBarnaba nu Sauli, itume u mulimo naza ni itangie”

3 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid [their] hands on them, they sent [them] away.

Ze yakilaa i itekeelo kudila kulya, kulompa, nu kuika i mikono ao migulya a antu awa, aka aleka alongole.

4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.

Ku lulo uBarnaba nu Sauli ai amukuiye u Ng'wau Ng'welu nu kusima kutunga ku Seleukia; Kupuma kung'wanso ai atungile u muhinzo mu luzi kutunga i kizonzo nika Kipro.

5 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to [their] minister.

Nai akatula mu kisali nika Salami, Ai alutanantilye u lukani nulang'wa Itunda mu matekeelo a Ayahudi. Ai atulaa palung'wi ga nu Yohana Marko anga muailya nuao.

6 And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name [was] Bar-jesus:

Nai akalongola mu kizonzo kihi kupikiila ku Pafo, ai ahangile muntu nua kituunga mulogi, Muyahudi munyakidagu nua uteele, naiza i lina nilakwe ai latulaa Bar Yesu.

7 Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.

uMulogi uyu ai wihanguie nu Lawi Sergio Paulus, nai watulaa muntu munyamahala. Muntu uyu ai uanile uBarnaba nu Sauli, ku nsoko ai uloilwe kija u lukani nulang'wa Itunda.

8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.

Kuiti Elima “uyo u mulogi” (iti uu i lina nilkwe nai limpyanigwe) ai ua kingie, ai ugemile kumupiula uyo u liwali wapume mu uhuiili.

9 Then Saul, (who also [is called] Paul, ) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,

Kuiti uSauli nai witangwa Paulo, ai watulaa wizuigwe u Ng'wau Ng'welu, akamukunkuila i miho

10 And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, [thou] child of the devil, [thou] enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

nu kuligitya “Uewe ng'wana nua mulugu, wizuigwe ni mpyani yihi nia uteele nu unyeku. U ewe ingi wi mulugu nua kia mpyani nia tai ane. Shanga ukuleka kuipiula i nzila nia Mukulu, ni igolokile, itii ukuhuma?

11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord [is] upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.

“Itungili goza, u mukono nua Mukulu ukoli migulya ako, hangi ukutula wi mupoku. Shanga ukihenga ilyoa ku itungo” nkua ing'wi ikunguguu ni kiti ai igwie migulya a Elimas; akandya kupilima papo wazelompa antu amutongeele kumuamba u mukono.

12 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.

Ze yakilaa u liwali kihenga nai kipumie, ai uhuiie, ku nsoko ai ukuiwe ku umanyisigwa kutula Mukulu.

13 Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.

Itungili uPaulo ni ahumbauya akwe ai alongoe muhinzo mu mazi kupuma ku Pafo hangi akapika ku Perge mu Pamfilia. Kuiti uYohana ai ua lekile nu kusuka ku Yerusalemu.

14 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.

uPaulo ni ahumbauya akwe ai atungile u muhinzo kupuma ku Perge nu kupika ku Antiokia a ku Pisidia. Uko ai alongoe mi itekeelo luhiku nula kusupya nu kikie pihi.

15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, [Ye] men [and] brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.

Ze yakilaa kusoma i ilagiilyo nu unyakidagu, atongeeli ni itekeelo ai ualagiiye utung'waa wazeligitya, “Anya ndugu, anga ize mukete u utuung'wa nua kuhumya insula antu apa, muligitye.”

16 Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with [his] hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.

Ku lulo uPaulo ai wimikile nu kuanyansuila u mukono; ai uligitilye, “Itunja a ku Israeli nu nyenye ni mimukulya Itunda, tegeelyi.

17 The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.

Itunda nua awa i antu nia Israeli ai uaholanilye i a tata itu nu kuazipya antu idu nai ikie mi ihi a Misri, nu ku mukono nuakwe kunyansulwa ai uatongee kunzi akwe.

18 And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.

Ku myaka makumi anne ai uagigimiiye mi ibambazi.

19 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.

Ze yakilaa kumabipya i maingu mutandatu mi ihi a Kanaani, ai uinkiiye i antu itu ihi ao ku usali.

20 And after that he gave [unto them] judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.

Maintu aya ihi ai apumie ikilo i myaka magana anne ni makumi a taano. Ze yakilaa i intu izi yihi, Itunda ai uinkiiye alamuli kupikiila uSamweli munyakidagu.

21 And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.

Ze yakilaa aya, antu ai alompile u mutemi, iti Itunda ai uinkiiye uSauli ng'wana wang'wa Kushi, muntu nua ndugu ang'wa Benjameni, kutula mutemi ku myaka makumi anne,

22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the [son] of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.

Uugwa ze yakilaa Itunda akamuheja mu utemi akamunyansula uDaudi kutula mutemi nuao. Ai ituile ingi kutula uDaudi kina Itunda ai uligitilye, 'Namulijaa uDaudi ng'wana nuang'wa Yese kutula muntu nuiloeigwe ni nkolo ane; naiza ukituma kila ikintu nikindoile,'

23 Of this man’s seed hath God according to [his] promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

Kupuma mu ndugu a muntu uyu Itunda umiletee i Israeli muguni, uYesu, anga nai ulagile kituma.

24 When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

Ili landiiye kupumila, ze ikili uYesu kupembya, uYohana ng'wandyo ai utanantilye wogigwa nua kila itunu ku antu ihi nia Israeli.

25 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not [he]. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of [his] feet I am not worthy to loose.

Nu ng'wenso uYohana nai wakatula ukumailya mulimo nuakwe, ai uligitilye, 'Musigile unene ni nyenyu? unene shanga ingi uyo. Kuiti tegeelyi, nupembilye kituli kane, nimugila u uhumi nua kutolya i ilatu nia migulu akwe,'

26 Men [and] brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

Anyandugu, Ana andugu ang'wa Abrahamu, ni awo naza mu kati anyu mi mipoelya Itunda, ingi ku nsoko itu kina ikani nila ugunwa lilagiigwe.

27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled [them] in condemning [him].

Ku awo ni ikie ku Yersalemu, ni atemi ao, shanga ai amulingile ku kulu kuulu, ni ang'wi shanga ai alulingile u lukani nula anyakidagu naza lisong'wa kila luhiku nula kusupya; ku lulo ai apikiiye u lukani nula anyakidagu ku kumulamula insha uYesu.

28 And though they found no cause of death [in him], yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.

Anga itule shanga ai aligilye i nsoko ni nziza ku nsha mukati akwe, ai amulompile uPilato wamubulage.

29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took [him] down from the tree, and laid [him] in a sepulchre.

Nai akamala imakani ihi nai akilisigwe kutula nuanso, ai amusimilye kupuma mikota nu kumulalya mu kibiila.

30 But God raised him from the dead:

Kuiti Itunda akamiusha kupuma mu ashi,

31 And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

Ai wigeelekile ku mahiku idu ku awo nai alongoe palung'wi nu ng'wenso kupuma ku Galilaya kulongola ku Yerusalemu, Antu awa itungili ingi akuiili nia antu.

32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,

Iti gwa ku umuletela nkani ni nkende kutula ilago nai inkiigwe i isekulu itu.

33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

Itunda ai uikile imalago aya kitaitu, ana ao, mu nilanso ai umiukilye uYesu nu kumususha hangi mu upanga. Ili ga likilisigwe mu malumbiilyo a kabiili; 'Uewe ingi ng'wana nuane, lelo natulaa ni Tata nuako,'

34 And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, [now] no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.

Ga ni kutula i tai ingi kina ai umiukilye kupuma kuashi iti kina muili nuakwe uleke kubipa, uligitilye iti; 'Nikakinkiilya u welu nu ukende kulu kuulu nuang'wa Daudi.'

35 Wherefore he saith also in another [psalm], Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.

Iyi yiyo nsoko waligitya ga mu malumbiilyo ni ma ngiiza, 'Shanga ukulekela u ng'welu nuako kihenga i kiolu.'

36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

Ku nsoko ze yakilaa u Daudi ku uaiilya u ulowa nuang'wa Itunda mu ulelwa nuakwe, ai ulae, akalalikigwa palung'wi ni a tata akwe, hangi ai uihengile u ubipigwa.

37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

Kuiti nai wiukigwe nu Itunda shanga ai uihengile u ubipigwa.

38 Be it known unto you therefore, men [and] brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

Iti gwa ni ilingike kitalanyu, anya ndugu, ku kiila muntu uyu, ulekelwa nua milandu watanantigwa.

39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

Ku nuanso kila nu uhuiie wia iligwaa tai ane ni makani ihi niiza ilagiilyo nilang'wa Musa shanga ai lizee inkiilya i tai ane.

40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;

Iti gwa ila tuli miakendegeeli kina i kintu nai akiganue i anyakidagu kileke kupumila kitalanyu;

41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.

Goza, unye adi ni mimelaa, hangi mende mukuilwe hangi mende mulimiligwe; ku iti kituma u mulimo mu mahiku anyu, Mulimo niiza shanga muhumile ku uhuiila, anga ga nu muntu wikumuganuila.”

42 And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.

Matungo uPaulo nu Barnaba nai akahega, antu aka alompa aligitye i makani aya luhiku nula kusupya nu luzile.

43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

Matungo ianza nili tekeelo nai likaula, Ayahudi idu ni aokole akomu ai a atyatile uPaulo nu Barnaba, naza aligitilye ni enso hangi ai a asamiiye alongole mu ukende nu ang'wa Itunda.

44 And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.

Luhiku nula kusupya nai lutyatile, pakupi kisali kihi ai kilingiie kija u lukani lang'wa Itunda.

45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.

Ayahudi nai akihenga iumbi, ai izuiwe nu wilu nu kuligitya makani nai akingie i intu nai itambuwe nu Paulo hangi ai amutukie.

46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)

Kuiti uPaulo nu Barnaba ai atambue ku ukamatiku nu kuligitya, “Ai yatulaa ingulu kina lukani nu lang'wa Itunda luganulwe hanza kitalanyu. Kunsoko mukulu suntiilya kuli kupuma kitalanyu nu kiona kina shanga muhiiye kutula nu upanga nua kali na kali, kendegeeli kuapilukila i anyaingu. (aiōnios g166)

47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, [saying], I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.

Anga niiza uMukulu ukulagiiye, azeligitya, 'Numuikile unyenye anga welu ku antu a ingu, kina mulete u ugunwa ku nkika yihi ni yihi.”

48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)

Anya ingu na akija ili, ai iloile nu kulu lumbiilya u lukani nula Mukulu. Idu nai aholanigwe ku upanga nua kali na kali ai ahuiie. (aiōnios g166)

49 And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.

Lukani nula Mukulu ai lenee ihi ihi

50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.

Kuiti Ayahudi ai a asingilye nai ipumilye ni asungu ni angulu, ga ni atongeeli a kisali. Aya ai akinyie u lwago kung'wa Paulo nu Barnaba hangi ai a agumile kunzi a mimbi nia kisali.

51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.

Kuiti uPaulo nu Barnaba ai akununtile u lunkundi nula migulu ao. Uugwa akalongola mu kisali nika Ikonia.

52 And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.

Ni amanyisigwa ai izuiwe nu ulowa palung'wi nu Ng'wau Ng'welu.
