Acts 13

1 Now in the church that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

Lino mulukong'ano ulwa ku Atiokia kwevaliale Vamos avaviili na vavulanisi. Valyale u Barnabas, Simeoni (akatambulivwagha Nigeria). Lukio ughwa ku Kirene, Manaeni(unyalukolo juno alyale ghwa danda ja Herode mulongosi ghwa kighavo), nu Sauli.

2 As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, "Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them."

Pano valyale vikufunya kwa Mutwa na kubuhila kulia, U Mhepo Mwimike akati, “Mumbaghulile palubale u Barnaba nu Sauli, vajivombe imbombo jino nikavakemelile.”

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

Pano ulukong'ano yelubuhila kulia, kukufunya, nakuvika amavoko ghave kuvanhu ava, vakavaleka valutaghe.

4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.

Pa uluo u Barnabas nu Sauli valyamwitike uMhepo Mwimike pe vakikagha kuluta Seleukia; Kuhuma ukuo valyaghendile mu nyanja kuluta mu kiponge ikya Kipro.

5 When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. They had also John as their attendant.

Panovalyale mulikaja ilya Salami, vakapulisigha ilisioilisio lya Nguluve munyumba isa kufunyila isa va Yahudi. Kange valyale palikimo nu Yohana Marko hwene n'tangili ghuvanave.

6 When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a Jewish false prophet whose name was Bar-Jesus,

Yevalutile mukiponge kyoni mpaka ku Pafo, valyam'bene umunhu jumonga umavi, Myahudi um'bili ghwa vudesi juno ilitavua lya mwene ghwe Bar Yesu.

7 who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.

Umavi uju alyatangine nu Liwali Sergio Paulus, juno alyale munhu umunyaluhala. umunhu uju alyavaghongolile u Barnaba nu Sauli, ulwakuvaulwakuva alyalondagha kupulika ilisiio lya Nguluve.

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

Looli u Elima “Umavi jula” (ndikio ilitavua lya mwenemwene fye lilya ghanulivue) alyavakanile; akghelile kukusetua u liwali jula ahume mulwitiko.

9 But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him,

Looli uSauli juno atambulwagha Paulo, alyamemile uMhepo Mwimike, akamulungumalila amaso

10 and said, "Full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

pe akajova “Uve mwana ghwaghwa setano, umemile ija vudesi sooni nu vuvotevote uve ulimulugu wa sakyang'ani. Nuladugha kusetulania isila sa Mutwa, sino sigholuike, voli ghughela?

11 Now, look, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, unable to see the sun for a time." Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.

Lino lolagha, ulukolo ulwa Mutwa lulinuve, lino peghuliva m'bofu. Nhulyalivona ilijuva kunsiki” nakalingi ulutuka ni ng'isi filyaghwile kawa Elimasi; akatengula kusyungulika pala avanhu vamulongolele vakan'kola uluvoko.

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

Ye u Liwali alolile kino kihumile akitika ulwakuva alyale idegha imbulanisio isa Mutwa

13 Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia, and John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.

Lino u Paulo na vamanyani vamwene vakaghenda mumalenga kuhuma ku Pafo pevakafika ku Perge mu Pamfilia. Looli u Yohana akavaleka na kugomoka ku Yerusalemu.

14 But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and sat down.

U Paulo nu manyaani ghwa mwene vakaghenda kuhuma ku Perge pevakafika ku Antiokia ija ku Pisidia. Ukwo valyalutile munyumba ijakufunyila mukighono ikya sabati na pikukala pasi.

15 After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, "Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak."

Ye vimbile indaghilo na vaviili, avalongosi va nyumba sakufunyila akavomolela imola vakatisagha, “Vanyalukolo, nave mulinajo imola ijakuhovosia avaanhu mumwooojo avanhu apa, joovaghajoovagha”.

16 Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, "Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.

Pa uluo u Paulo akiima nakuvapungila uluvoko, akatisagha, “Mwe vaghosi vamu Israeli numue mwevano muleva kwa Nguluve pulikisia.

17 The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as foreigners in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it.

U Nguluve ughwa vaanhu ava mu Israeli alyavasalyile ava Nhata viitu na pikuvavomba avanhu vinga yevikalile mu iisi ija mu Misri, kukilila muluvoko lwa mwene kunyanyulua alyavalongwisie kunji kwa mwene.

18 For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.

Amaka ifijigho fine aligudile mulukuve.

19 When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance.

Ye ananginie ifisina lekela lubali mu iisi ija kanani alyavapelile avaanhu viitu muiisi jaave kuva ja vuhasi.

20 All this took about four hundred and fifty years. And after these things he gave them judges, until Samuel the prophet.

Isi sooni silyahumiile amaka ifilundo fine ni fijigho fihano. Ye fikilile ifiinu ifi fyoni, uNguluve alyavapelile avalamusi mpaka u Samweli nu M'biili.

21 Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

Ye sisilile isi, avanhu valyasumile u Ntua, pe u Nguluve akavapela u Sauli umwana wa Kishi, umunhu ughwa kabila ija Benjamini, kuuva Ntua ghwa make ifijigho fine.

22 When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, 'I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.'

Looli u Nguluve ye am'busisie muvutua, akantosia u Daudi kuuva Ntua ghwa vanave. lulyale lwa kumulonda u Daudi kuuti uNguluve alyajovile, “Nin'kavile u Daudi umwana ghwa Yese kuuva munhu juno mwoojo ghuango ghukunoghelua; juno ivoombagha ifiinu fyooni fino nifighanile.'

23 From this man's offspring, according to his promise, God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus,

Kuhuma mu kikolo ikya munhu uju u Nguluve ajiletile i Israeli um'poki, uYesu, ndavule alyafingile kuvoomba.

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

Iili lilyatenguile kuhumila ye akyale kukwisa, u Yohana taasi akapulisyagha ulwofugho ulwa lulato kuvanhu ava mu Israeli.

25 As John was fulfilling his course, he said, 'What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But look, one comes after me the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.'

Ghwope u Yohana pano alyale imalisia imbombo jake akatisagha, “Mu kunisagha une nene veeni? une nanene jula. Looli mupulikisyaghe, juno ikwisa munsana mu Lyune, na ni vaaghiile ku lendesia ifilato fya maghulu ghamwene.'

26 Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to us.

Vanyalukolo, mwevana vakisina kya Abrahamu, navala vano mun'kate mulyumue mukufynya kwa Nguluve, vwimila vwitu kuuti imola iiji uvuvaangi vusung'ilue.

27 For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.

Kuvala vano vikukala ku Yerusalemu, navatemi vavanave, navalyan'kangwile sa kyang'ani, nakuuva navalyalutang'inie uvwolesi vwa vaviili vuno vukwimbua jaatu pa Sabati; pa uluo valyakwisisie imola ija vaviili ulwa kumigha u Yesu kufua.

28 Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.

Napato navalyaluvwene vunono ulwa kufwila n'kate mwamwene, valyan'sumile u Pilato am'bude.

29 When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree, and placed him in a tomb.

Vatile vamalile isio sooni sino silyalembilue vwimila umwene, vakamwisia kuhuma mumpiki nakumughonia mu mbipa.

30 But God raised him from the dead,

Looli u Nguluve alyan'syusisie kuhuma kuvafue.

31 and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.

Alyavonike mufighono finga kuvala vano vakaghendaniagha palikimo nu mwene kuhuma ku Galilaya kuluta ku Yerusalemu. Avaanhu ava lino vevolesi va vaanhu.

32 We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,

Ku uluo tukuvaletela imola inofu vwimila ifiingo sino valyapelilue avisukulu viitu.

33 that God has fulfilled for us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, 'You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.'

U Nguluve alyavikile ifingo isi kulyumue, avana vavanave, mu uluo alyan'syusisie u Yesu nakukun'gomosia kange ku vwumi. Iili kange lilyalembilue mu Zaburi ija vuvili: 'Uve uli mwanango, umusyughu nili Nhata ghuako'

34 "Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: 'I will give to you the faithful sacred things of David.'

Kange vwimila uvwa kyang'ani kwekuuti alyansyusisie kuhuma kuvafue ulwakuuti umbili ghwa mwene ghuleka pinangika, ajovileajovile ndiki: 'Nikukupelagha uvwimike ni nyifunyo sa kyang'ani sa Daudi'

35 Therefore he says also in another psalm, 'You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.'

Ulu fyenambe ajovile kange mu ZaburiZaburi isinge, 'Naghukum'pelagha u vwimike vwako kukuvuvona uvuvole.'

36 For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was placed with his fathers, and saw decay.

Ulwakuva u Daudi ye avombile uvughane vwa Nguluve mukikolo kya mwene, akaghonelela, alyaghonile palikimo na vapafi va mwene, pe alyavwaghile uvunangike,

37 But he whom God raised up saw no decay.

Looli juno alyasyusivue nu Nguluve nalyavwaghile uvunangike.

38 Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you forgiveness of sins,

Uluo fyelukagulikaghe kulyumue, vanyalukolo, kukilila umunhu uju, ulusaghilo lwa vuhosi ludalikivue.

39 and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the Law of Moses.

Kwa mwene ghweni juno ikumwitika ivalilua vwakyang'ani naghoni ghanoghano indaghilo sa Musa nasale sikuvapela uvwakyang'ani.

40 So beware, lest what is said in the Prophets should come about:

Pa uluo muve vafwihu kuuti kino valyajovile avaviili kilahumilagha kulyumue:

41 'Look, you scoffers, and be amazed, and perish; for I am working a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, if one tells it to you.'"

'Lolagha, umue mwevano musyojola, mudeghaghe kange mutipulivuaghe; ulwakuva nivoomba imbombo mufighono fiinu, imbombo jino namungajitike, nambe umunhu avoleleele ndani.”

42 So when they went out they urged them to speak about these things on the next Sabbath.

Unsiki ghuno Upaulo nu Barnaba ye vavukile, avanhu vakasuma vajove amasio agha kighono kya Sabati jinojikwisa kange.

43 Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.

Unsiki ghuno ulukong'ano ulwa munyumba ija kufunyila ye yeghusilile, avaYahudi vinga na vimike avapesia vakam'bingilila uPaulo nu Barnaba, vano valyajovile navoope vakavaghimbilisia vaghendelelaghe mu lusungu lwa Nguluve.

44 The next Sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of the Lord.

Isabati jino jilyavingilile, hwene ilikaja lyoni lilyakong'anile kupulika ilisio lya Nguluve.

45 But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and reviled him.

Ava Yahudi ye vavwene amapugha, vakamemagha igila nakujova amasio ghano ghakakanagha sooni sino silyajovilue nu Paulo kange vakamulighagha.

46 Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, "It was necessary that God's word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, look, we turn to the non-Jewish people. (aiōnios g166)

Looli u Paulo nu Barnaba vakajovagha ni ngufu vakatisagha, “Luvele lunofu kuuti ilisio lya Nguluve lijovuaghe tasi kulyumue. Ulwakuva mukulidaghila kutali kuhumakuhuma kulyumue na pikujagha kuuti namukanoghile uvwumi uvwa kuvusile nakusila, lolagha tukuvasyetukilagha ifisina. (aiōnios g166)

47 For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, 'I have set you as a light to the nations, that you may bring salvation to the farthest part of the earth.'"

Ndavule umutwa atuvulile, pano iiti, “Nivaviikile umwe hwene lumuli kuvanhu avapanji, ulwakuuti mulute uvuvaangi kumbale sooni isa iisi.”

48 As the non-Jewish people heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord. As many as were appointed to everlasting life believed. (aiōnios g166)

Avapanji yevapulike ili, valyahovwike nakulighinia ilisio lya Mutwa. Vinga vano alyasalulivue kuvwumi uvwajatu valyitike. (aiōnios g166)

49 The Lord's word was spread abroad throughout all the region.

Ilisio lya Mutwa likakwila iisi jooni.

50 But the Jews stirred up the devout women of prominence and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders.

Looli ava Yahudi vakavapelepesia vano valihumisie nava mama avwimike, kange navalongosi valikaja. Isi silyahovelisie imumuko kwa Paulo nu Barnaba pe vakatagha kunji kumaka sa likaja.

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

Looli u Paulo nu Barnaba valyakung'unile iling'undi mumaghulu ghavane.

52 The disciples were filled with joy with the Holy Spirit.

Pe vakaluta mulikaja ilya Ikonia. Avavulanisivua vakamema ulukelo palikimo Mhepo u Mwimike.
