< Acts 15 >

1 Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, "Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved."
Hinu, vandu vangi vakahuma ku Yudea na kubwela ku Antiokia, vakatumbula kuvawula valongo vala, nakuhotola kusanguliwa ngati mwangayingila jandu, ngati mvelu wa Musa cheulagiza.
2 Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul and Barnabas, and some others of them, to go up to Jerusalem to the emissaries and elders about this question.
Pauli na Banaba vakavya na mhutanu na vandu vala ndava ya lijambu lila, ndi vakahamuliwa Pauli na Banaba pamonga na vamsadika vangi va Antiokia vahamba ku Yelusalemu kukonganeka na vagogo na vamitumi ndava ya lijambu lenilo.
3 They, being sent on their way by the congregation, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, describing in detail the conversion of the non-Jewish people. They caused great joy to all the brothers.
Mulugendu lwavi msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu ndi vavatangatili, vakapitila ku Foinike na ku Samaliya na kuvajovela vandu vangali Vayawudi chavamsadiki Chapanga. Malovi ago gavagahekisi neju vamsadika voha.
4 When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the congregation and the emissaries and the elders, and they reported all things that God had done with them.
Pavahikili ku Yelusalemu, vakagongolelewa na msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu na vamitumi na vagogo, vene vakavajovela mambu goha Chapanga geagahengili pamonga nawu.
5 But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, "It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the Law of Moses."
Nambu vamsadika vangi va msambi wa Vafalisayu vakayima na kujova, “Yikuvagana vandu vangali Vayawudi vadumuliwa jandu na kuvalagiza kulanda mhilu wa Musa.”
6 The emissaries and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
Hinu vamitumi na vagogo vakakonganeka ndava ya kulongalela lijambu lenilo.
7 When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, "Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News, and believe.
Ndi pavakotini neju, Petili akayima na kujova, “Valongo vangu, mumanyili kuvya Chapanga anihagwili nene kadeni pagati yinu muni nikokosayi Lilovi la Bwina kwa vandu vangali Vayawudi navene vayuwana na vasadikayi.
8 God, who knows the heart, testified about them by giving the Ruach ha-Kodesh, just like he did to us.
Na Chapanga mweimanya mitima ya vandu, ajilangisi kuvayidakila kuvapela Mpungu Msopi vene ngati cheatipeli tete.
9 He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
Nakuvabagula vandu, tete amala vene, ainyambisi mitima yavi ndava vakumsadika.
10 Now therefore why do you tempt God, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the talmidim which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
Hinu ndava kyani kumlinga Chapanga, mukuvagegesa ndwika vamsadika vala, ndwika vagogo vitu wala tavete tihotola lepi kugega?
11 But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Yeshua, just as they are."
Lepi, ndi tete tisadika ngati vene, yati tisanguliwa munjila ya ubwina wa Bambu Yesu.”
12 And all the people kept quiet, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.
Mngonganu wa vandu voha wagunili nuu, ukuwayuwanila Pauli na Banaba vidandaula gachinamtiti na makangaso, Chapanga geagahengili muujumbi wavi kwa vandu vangali Vayawudi.
13 After they were silent, Jacob answered, "Brothers, listen to me.
Pevamali kulongela, Yakobo akatumbula kujova, “Muniyuwanila valongo vangu!
14 Shim'on has reported how God first visited the nations, to take out of them a people for his name.
Simoni Petili atidandaulili Chapanga penapo kadeni cheajilangisi kwa vandu vangali Vayawudi na kuvahagula vangi pagati yavi, vavyai vandu vaki.
15 This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
Lijambu lenilo ndi liyidakilana na malovi ga vamlota va Chapanga, ngati Mayandiku Gamsopi chegijova,
16 'After these things I will return; and I will rebuild the tabernacle of David that has fallen, and I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it,
‘Bambu ajovili, pagenaga yati niwuya, na kuujenga kavili nyumba ya Daudi, yeyigwili.
17 that the rest of humanity may seek after the Lord, and all the nations who are called by my name, says the Lord, who makes these things
Vandu vangi voha na vandu vangali Vayawudi, voha venivakemili vavyayi vangu yati vakunilonda Bambu.
18 known from long ago.' (aiōn g165)
Ndi cheajovili Bambu, mweagamanyisi mambu aga kuhuma kadeni.’” (aiōn g165)
19 "Therefore my judgment is that we do not trouble those from among the non-Jewish people who turn to God,
Yakobo akayendelela kujova, “Nene nilola kuvya chabwina lepi kuvang'aha vandu vangali Vayawudi vevakumsadika Chapanga.
20 but that we write to them that they abstain from things defiled by idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.
Nambu chabwina tivayandikila ujumbi kuvajovela, vayepa kulya vyakula vihakasa vya mahoka, vayepa ukemi vayepa kulya hinyama yidodanu na vayepa kulya ngasi.
21 For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who proclaim him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath."
Ndava muni kutumbula kadeni mhilu wa Chapanga weampelili Musa, wisomiwa kila Ligono la Kupumulila munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi, na malovi gaki gikokoselewa kila muji.”
22 Then it seemed good to the emissaries and the elders, with the whole congregation, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judah called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.
Kangi vamitumi na vagogo va msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu voha vakahamula kuvahagula vandu nunuyu mumasambi wavi na kuvatuma ku Antiokia pamonga na Pauli na Banaba. Ndi vakamhagula Yuda mweikemiwa Basaba na Sila, vevitopeswa neju na vamsadika.
23 They wrote these things by their hand: "The emissaries, the elders, and the brothers, to the non-Jewish brothers who are in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.
Vavapelili ujumbi weuyandikiwi aga, “Tete vamitumi na vagogo, valongo vinu, tikuvajambusa vayitu mwangali kuvya Vayawudi mwemuvi ku Antiokia na ku Silia na ku Kilikia.
24 Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, to whom we gave no commandment;
Tiyuwini kuvya vandu nunuyo vakuhuma kwitu vavang'aisi mtima yinu na malovi gavi, vahengili genago changali malagizu gitu.
25 it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Hinu kwa pamonga tiyidakilini kuvahagula vajumbi vangi, valongosana pamonga na vankozi vitu Pauli na Banaba tivatumili kubwela kwinu.
26 who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
Vandu vevajiwusili kuyagisa wumi wavi ndava ya kumhengela Bambu witu Yesu Kilisitu.
27 We have sent therefore Judah and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
Ndava muni tivatumili Yuda na muyaki Sila, vene yati vakuvadandaulila malovi goha getivayandikili.
28 For it seemed good to the Ruach ha-Kodesh, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
Hinu yimganisi Mpungu Msopi na tete tikotoka kuvagegesa ndwika neju ya mambu gala gegalagaziwi.
29 that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell."
Mkoto kulya vyakulya veviwusiwi mahoka, kavili ngasi ya hinyama mkoto kunywa na mewawa hinyama yevadodili mkoto kulya, myepa ukemi. Yati muhenga chabwina ngati muyepili kuhenga mambu ago!”
30 So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch, and having gathered the congregation together, they delivered the letter.
Ndi pevamali kulagana, vajumbi vala vakawuka na kuhamba ku Antiokia. Kwenuko vakaukemela msambi wa vamsadika na kuvagotolela balua yeyiyandikwi yila.
31 When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
Hinu pevamali kusoma ujumbi wula, malovi gaki gakavangamalisa mitima, vakavya na luheku neju.
32 Judah and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words, and strengthened them.
Yuda na Sila vevavi vamlota va Chapanga, valongili nawu mulukumbi lutali vakuvapolesa na kuvakangamalisa mitima.
33 After they had spent some time there, they were sent back with greetings from the brothers to those that had sent them forth.
Pevamali kutama kwa lukumbi, valongo va ku Antiokia vakalagana nawu, vakavaganila uteke, kangi vakawuya kuhamba kula kwevatumwili.
34 However, Silas decided to remain there.
Nambu sila ahamwili kusigalila.
35 And Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming the word of the Lord, with many others also.
Nambu Pauli na Banaba vasigalili ku Antiokia, kwenuko vene pamonga na vandu vangi vamahele vawulili na kuvakokosela Lilovi la Bambu.
36 After some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let us return now and visit our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing."
Magono nunuyu gegagelekili Pauli akamjovela Banaba, “Tiwuya tikavagendela valongo vala vetavakokosili lilovi la Bambu tikaloli cheviyendelela.”
37 Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
Banaba aganili mewa vamtola Yohani mweikemiwa Maluko.
38 But Paul did not think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and did not go with them to do the work.
Nambu Pauli aganili lepi kumtola Maluko, ndava mumbele avalekili ku Pamfulia na kubela kuvya pamonga mulihengu lavi.
39 Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him, and sailed away to Cyprus,
Ndi ukahumila muhutanu uvaha pagati yavi, hati vakalekengana. Banaba akamtola Maluko, vakayingila muwatu na kuhamba ku Kuplo.
40 but Paul chose Silas, and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord.
Pauli mwene akamhagula Sila, hinu vamsadika pevamali kuvayupila ubwina wa Bambu vakawuka.
41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the congregations.
Mulugendu lula vakapitila ku Silia na Kukilikia kuvakangamalisa msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu.
