< Acts 14 >

1 In Iconium it happened that they went together to the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great number both of Jews and of Gentiles believed.
Na rĩrĩ, Paũlũ na Baranaba marĩ kũu Ikonia, magĩtoonya thunagogi ya Ayahudi o ta mũtugo. Marĩ kũu makĩaria na ũhoti mũingĩ mũno o nginya Ayahudi aingĩ na andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ magĩĩtĩkia.
2 But the disobedient Jews stirred up the souls of the Gentiles, and embittered them against them against the brothers.
No Ayahudi arĩa maaregire gwĩtĩkia nĩmathogothire andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ, makĩmathũkia meciiria nĩgeetha mookĩrĩre ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ.
3 Long time, therefore, they tarried there, speaking fearlessly in the Lord, who attested the word of his grace by permitting signs and wonders to be performed by their hands.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Paũlũ na Baranaba magĩikara kũu ihinda iraaya, makĩaria marĩ na ũcamba nĩ ũndũ wa Mwathani, o we wekĩrire ndũmĩrĩri ya wega wake hinya na ũndũ wa kũmahotithia kũringa ciama na morirũ.
4 But the mass of the city’s people was divided; part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.
Andũ a itũũra rĩu inene makĩgayũkana; amwe magĩĩtĩkania na Ayahudi, nao arĩa angĩ magĩĩtĩkania na atũmwo.
5 And when both the Gentiles and the Jews with their ruler made a hostile move to maltreat and to stone them,
Nĩ kwarĩ na ndundu yathugundĩtwo nĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ na Ayahudi, hamwe na atongoria ao, nĩguo mameeke ũũru, na mamahũũre na mahiga nyuguto.
6 the apostles got wind of it, and made their escape to the Lycaonian towns of Derbe and Lystra and the neighboring country.
No nao makĩmenya ũhoro ũcio, na makĩũrĩra matũũra manene ma bũrũri wa Likaonia, na nĩmo Lisitera, na Deribe, o na bũrũri ũrĩa wagũthiũrũrũkĩirie,
7 And there they continued to proclaim the gospel.
kũrĩa maathiire na mbere kũhunjia ũhoro mwega.
8 Now at Lystra there used to sit a certain man, lame in his feet, a cripple from birth, who had never walked.
Nakuo kũu Lisitera nĩ kwarĩ mũndũ warĩ mwonju magũrũ, na aatũũrĩte arĩ mwonju kuuma gũciarwo na ndetwarĩte na magũrũ o narĩ.
9 He was listening while Paul was preaching, and Paul, looking intently at him, and perceiving that he had faith to be made whole,
Nake agĩthikĩrĩria Paũlũ akĩaria. Paũlũ aamũrora, akĩona atĩ aarĩ na wĩtĩkio wa kũhonio,
10 said in a loud voice, "Stand upright on your feet!"
akĩmwĩta na mũgambo mũnene, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rũgama na magũrũ maku!” Na o hĩndĩ ĩyo, mũndũ ũcio akĩrũga na igũrũ, akĩambĩrĩria gwĩtwara.
11 And he sprang up and began to walk about. Then the crowds, when they saw what Paul had done, shouted in the Lycaonian tongue, saying, "The gods are come down to us in human form."
Rĩrĩa gĩkundi kĩu kĩa andũ kĩonire ũrĩa Paũlũ eekĩte, gĩkĩanĩrĩra na rũthiomi rwa Likaonia gĩkiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngai nĩciikũrũkĩte kũrĩ ithuĩ itariĩ ta andũ!”
12 And they began to call Barnabas "Zeus," and Paul, since he was the principal speaker, "Hermes";
Magĩĩta Baranaba Zeu, nake Paũlũ makĩmwĩta Herime tondũ nĩwe warĩ mwaria ũrĩa mũnene.
13 and the priest of Zeus, whose temple was at the entrance to the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and along with the crowds was about to offer sacrifices.
Mũthĩnjĩri-ngai ya Zeu, ũrĩa hekarũ yake yarĩ o hau nja ya itũũra, akĩrehe ndegwa na mahũa maatumĩtwo ta thũmbĩ hau kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra inene, tondũ we na gĩkundi kĩu kĩa andũ nĩmendaga kũmarutĩra magongona.
14 But when the apostles, Paul and Barnabas, heard of it, they rent their garments and rushed out among the crowd, shouting and crying.
No rĩrĩa atũmwo acio Baranaba na Paũlũ maaiguire ũguo, magĩtembũranga nguo ciao, makĩhanyũka, magĩtoonya kũrĩ kĩrĩndĩ, makĩanagĩrĩra atĩrĩ,
15 "Men, why are you doing all this? We also are men, with natures like your own! We are bringing you good tidings, that you are to turn from these empty things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and the sea and all that in them is.
“Andũ aya, mũreka ũguo nĩkĩ? Ithuĩ tũrĩ o andũ ta inyuĩ. Tũmũreheire ũhoro mwega, wa kũmwĩra mũgarũrũke mũtigane na maũndũ marĩa matarĩ kĩene, mũcookerere Ngai ũrĩa ũtũũraga muoyo, o we ũrĩa wombire igũrũ na thĩ na iria na indo ciothe iria irĩ kuo.
16 In bygone generations he allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways,
Tene, nĩarekereirie ndũrĩrĩ ciothe ithiiage na mĩthiĩre yacio nyene,
17 and yet he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness."
no ndaigana gwĩtiga atarĩ na ũira wa kuonania atĩ arĩ kuo: nĩamuonetie ũtugi na ũndũ wa kũmuurĩria mbura yumĩte igũrũ na kũmũhe magetha hĩndĩ ya kĩmera; nĩamũheaga irio nyingĩ na akaiyũria ngoro cianyu na gĩkeno.”
18 Even with saying this they with difficulty restrained the crowds from sacrificing to them.
No o na maarĩtie ciugo icio, nĩ maarĩ na wĩra mũritũ wa kũgiria gĩkundi kĩu kĩa andũ kĩmarutĩre igongona.
19 And now a party of Jews came down form Antioch and Iconium, and after persuading the crowds, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.
Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩyo Ayahudi angĩ magĩũka moimĩte Antiokia na Ikonia, nao makĩguucĩrĩria gĩkundi kĩu kĩa andũ, gĩgĩcooka mwena wao. Gĩkundi kĩu gĩkĩhũũra Paũlũ na mahiga nyuguto, na gĩkĩmũkururia, gĩkĩmũruta nja ya itũũra, gĩĩciirĩtie nĩ mũkuũ.
20 But as the disciples collected around him, he rose and went back into the city. The next day he went off with Barnabas into Derbe;
No arutwo maarĩkia kũmũrigiicĩria, agĩũkĩra agĩcooka itũũra-inĩ. Mũthenya ũcio ũngĩ warũmĩrĩire, we na Baranaba makiuma kũu magĩthiĩ Deribe.
21 and after preaching the gospel to that town, and winning many converts, they went back to Lystra and Iconium and Antioch,
Paũlũ wa Baranaba makĩhunjia ũhoro mwega itũũra-inĩ rĩu na magĩtũma andũ aingĩ matuĩke arutwo. Magĩcooka makĩhũndũka magĩthiĩ Lisitera, na Ikonia, na Antiokia,
22 Everywhere they strengthened the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to hold to the faith. "It is through many tribulations," they said, "that we must enter into the kingdom of God."
magĩĩkagĩra arutwo hinya na kũmomĩrĩria nĩgeetha matũũre marũmĩtie wĩtĩkio. Makameeraga atĩrĩ, “No nginya ithuĩ tũgerere mathĩĩna-inĩ maingĩ nĩguo tũtoonye ũthamaki-inĩ wa Ngai.”
23 They chose elders for them in every church, after prayer and fasting, and commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.
Paũlũ na Baranaba makĩmaamũrĩra athuuri a kanitha na makĩhooya Ngai mehingĩte kũrĩa irio, makĩmaneana kũrĩ Mwathani, o we ũrĩa meehokete.
24 Then passing through Pisidia they came to Pamphylia and,
Thuutha wa gũtuĩkanĩria Pisidia, magĩkinya Pamufilia,
25 after preaching the word in Perga, they came down to Attaleia.
na maarĩkia kũhunjia kiugo kũu Periga, magĩikũrũka magĩthiĩ Atalia.
26 Thence they sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been commended to the grace of God, for the work which they had now completed.
Moima Atalia makĩhaica marikabu, magĩcooka Antiokia, o kũrĩa maahoeirwo wega wa Ngai mbere nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra ũrĩa maarĩkĩtie kũruta.
27 On their arrival they assembled the church and reported all things that God had done through them, and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.
Maakinya kũu magĩcookanĩrĩria andũ a kanitha hamwe, makĩmeera ũrĩa wothe Ngai ekĩte agereire harĩo na ũrĩa aahingũrĩire andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ mũrango wa gwĩtĩkia.
28 And they tarried no little time with the disciples.
Nao magĩikara na arutwo kũu ihinda iraaya.
