Acts 11
1 And the apostles and the brothers who are in Judea heard that the nations also received the word of God,
Linu bapositola niba mwabo ba bena mwa Judeya chibazuwa kuti ba Sikunze chibatambula inzwi lye Ireeza.
2 and when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of circumcision were contending with him,
Linu Pitrosi hakeza kwa Jerusalema, abo bena muchikwata chamupato chiba munyansa;
3 saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them!”
Chibati. “Ubali kopanyi ni bakwame basena mupato ni kulya nabo!”
4 And Peter having begun, set [it] forth to them in order, saying,
Kono Pitrosi chatanga kubatolokela chakwizula; 'chati,
5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw in a trance a vision, a certain vessel coming down, as a great sheet by four corners being let down out of Heaven, and it came to me;
Nibali kulapela mu muleneñi wa Joppa, imi chinaba ni pono yachintu chikeza hansi, sina isila ikando likeza hansi kuzwa kwiwulu lina tukokolwa tonee. Chichakeza kwangu.
6 at which having looked steadfastly, I was considering, and I saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the birds of the sky;
China chilolisisa ni kuchizezisisa. Chinabona zinyolozi za matende onne zamu inkanda, zibatana, ziyendisa mabumo, ni zizuni za mwiwulu.
7 and I heard a voice saying to me, Having risen, Peter, slay and eat;
Linu china zuwa inzwi liwamba kwangu, “zimane, Pitrosi; wihaye mi ulye!”
8 and I said, Not so, Lord, because anything common or unclean has at no time entered into my mouth;
Chinati, “nee; Nanta kanjobulyo, Simwine: kakwina chintu chisachenete kapa china chive chisenjili mukaholo kangu.”
9 and a voice answered me a second time out of Heaven, What God cleansed, you do not declare common.
Kono izwi chilyetaba kuzwilila kwiwulu, “Chalukulula Ireeza chijolola sanzi ucho kuti chinekwe.”
10 And this happened three times, and again was all drawn up to Heaven,
Izi zibatendahali totatwe, imi linu zintu zonse chizabozwa kwiwulu hape.
11 and behold, immediately, three men stood at the house in which I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me,
Kamulole, hahanu kwina bakwame botatwe bazimene habusu bwe zubo hatwina; ba bakatumitwe kwa Caesarea kwiza kwangu.
12 and the Spirit said to me to go with them, doubting nothing, and these six brothers also went with me, and we entered into the house of the man,
Luhuho Lujolola lwanilaela kuti ni yende nabo, imi sanzi niloli kutibenabule. Aba bakwame balikana iyanza niyenke babayendi name, imi tubayendi ni kwinjila muzubo yamukwame.
13 he also declared to us how he saw the messenger standing in his house, and saying to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter,
Chatuwambila mwababoneni Iñeloyi ha tuwambila mwaba boneni iñiloi ni lizimene munzubo yakwe ni kucho, “Tumine bakwame kwa Joppa imi mukaboze Simone yo supwa Pitrosi.
14 who will speak sayings by which you will be saved, you and all your house.
Mwa wambe kwenu lizwi lyete limihaze - Iwe ni bezubo yako bonse.
15 And in my beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as also on us in the beginning,
Hani tanga kuwamba kubali, Luhuho Lunjolola chilwasukila kubali, sina njikwetu lwetanzi.
16 and I remembered the saying of the LORD, how He said, John indeed immersed in water, but you will be immersed in the Holy Spirit;
Nibazezi mazwi a Simwine, mwaba wambili, “Joani chabusakusima abakukolobeza chamenzi; kono inwe muswanela kukolobezwa cho Luhuho Lunjolola.”
17 if then God gave to them the equal gift as also to us, having believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, I—how was I able to withstand God?”
Linu haiba Ireeza ababahi impo ziswana ni zetu hatuzumina kwa Simwine Jesu Kreste, njemeni, kuti ni kangisane ni Ireeza?”
18 And they, having heard these things, were silent, and were glorifying God, saying, “Then, indeed, God also gave conversion to life to the nations.”
Habamana kuzuwa izi zintu, kakwina chibaba wambi kulitabilila, Kono ba balumbeki Ireeza ni kuchokuti, “Imi Ireeza abahibulyo inswalelo ya buhalo kubalichaba nabo.”
19 Those, indeed, therefore, having been scattered abroad, from the tribulation that came after Stephen, went through to Phoenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none except to Jews only;
Linu babo babahasani bakeñi cha masukuluka abezi chebaka lyefu lya Sitefani, libahasani mane kutwala kwa Fonisiya, Sipera, ni Antioke, kono chibakutaza linzwi lya Jesu feela ku Majuda.
20 and there were certain of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who having entered into Antioch, were speaking to the Hellenists, proclaiming good news—the Lord Jesus,
Kono bamwi kubali, bakwame bakwa Sipera, ni Sirene, chibeza kwa Antioke, imi chibawamba bulyo ni ku Magerike, ni ku bawambila mazwi malotu kuamna ni Simwine Jesu.
21 and the hand of the LORD was with them, a great number also, having believed, turned to the LORD.
Imi iyanza lya Simwine libena nabo; bungi bwabo bubazumini ni kubola kwa Simwine.
22 And the account was heard in the ears of the assembly that [is] in Jerusalem concerning them, and they sent forth Barnabas to go through to Antioch,
Iñusa kuamana nabo chilyeza mumatwi ye Kereke ya mwa Jerusalema: imi chibatuma Barnabasi kuyenda kule kwa Antioke.
23 who, having come, and having seen the grace of God, was glad, and was exhorting all with purpose of heart to cleave to the LORD,
Hakeza ni kwiza kubona impoo ye Ireeza, aba sangi; imi chaba susuweza bonse kwikala ni Simwine chenkulo zabo zonse.
24 because he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith, and a great multitude was added to the LORD.
Imi abali mukwame yabena sinte wizwile Luhuho Lunjolola ni tumelo, imi bungi bwabantu baba ekezehi kwiza kwa Simwine.
25 And Barnabas went forth to Tarsus, to seek for Saul,
Barnabasi linu chayenda kwa Tarese, ku kasaka Saule.
26 and having found him, he brought him to Antioch, and it came to pass that they assembled together a whole year in the assembly, and taught a great multitude, and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
Hamuwana, cha muleta kwa Antioke. Chikweza kubakuti, mwaaka onse chibali kunganya hamwina ne Kereke hamwina ni kuluta bungi bwabantu. Balutwana babakusumpwa Makereste lwetazi mwa Antioke.
27 And in those days there came from Jerusalem prophets to Antioch,
Linu mwa anu mazuva bamwi bapolofita chiba sezumukila kwa Jerusalema kwa Antioke.
28 and one of them, by name Agabus, having stood up, signified through the Spirit a great scarcity is about to be throughout all the world—which also came to pass in the time of Claudius Caesar—
Umwina kubali, Agabusi, chezina chazima ni kupolofita cha Luhuho kuti inzala inkando mwi ikanda yonse. Izi ziba kutendahala mumazuba a Klaudiya.
29 and the disciples, according as anyone was prospering, determined each of them to send for ministry to the brothers dwelling in Judea,
Njokuti, balutwana, sina zumwi ni zumwi habakuwola, chahupula kutumina intuso kubamwakwe mwa Judeya.
30 which also they did, having sent to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
Babatendi bulyo, baba tumini mashelenyi kuba kulwana bakeleke chamanza a Barnabasi ni Saule.
