Acts 15
1 And there came down certain men from Judaea, and taught the brethren, Unless ye are circumcised after the custom of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
Bandu fulani batiuluka boka Uyahudi na kuwafundisha alongo, babaya, “mana mwatairiwa kwaa kati destruri ya Musa, mwaweza kwa lopolelwa.”
2 But when Paul and Barnabas had had no small dissension and debate with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, should go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
Muda Paulo na Barnaba babile na mapambano na mjadala pamope nao, alongo batiamua panga Paulo, Barnaba, na benge kadhaa bayende Yerusalem kwa mitume na apindo kwa ajili ya swali lee.
3 They therefore, having been sent forward by the church, passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the gentiles; and they caused great joy to all the brethren.
Kwa eyo kutumwa kwao na likanisa, bapetya Foinike na Samaria batitangaza kukerebukya nia kwa mataifa. Baletike puraha kolo kwa alongo bote,
4 And having come to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the church, and by the apostles and elders, and they related what great things God had wrought with them.
Baisile Yerusale, batikaribishwa na likanisa na mitume na apindo, na batiwasilisha taarifa ya makowe gote ambayo Nnongo apangite pamope na bembe.
5 But there rose up certain believers of the sect of the Pharisees, saying, It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
Lakini bandu fulani batiaminia, babile katika likundi lya Mafarisayo, bayemite nobaya, “ni muhimu kubatahiri na kubaamuru baikamwe sheria ya Musa.”
6 And the apostles and the elders came together to consider this matter.
Nga nyo mitume na apindo bayemi pamope kulifikiria swala lee.
7 And after much debate, Peter rose up and said to them, Brethren, ye know that a long time ago God made choice among you, that by my mouth the gentiles should hear the word of the glad tidings, and believe.
Baada ya malongelo ago marefu, Petro ayemi na kulongela kwao, “Alongo mutangite panga kitambo kinoite cha peta Nnongo apangite lichagu kati yinu, panga kwa nkano wango Mataifa baliyowe neno lya injili, na aminia.
8 And God, who knoweth the heart, bore them witness, giving them the Holy Spirit, as he gave it to us;
Nnongo, ywautangite mwoyo, atishuhudia kwabe, abapeya Roho mtakatifu, kati ya apangite kwitu.
9 and made no difference between us and them, having purified their hearts by faith.
na atuchengya kwa utofauti kati yitu ni bembe, aipangite mioyo yabe safi kwa imani.
10 Now therefore why do ye provoke the anger of God, by putting a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
Kwa eyo kwa namani mwamjaribu Nnongo panga muibeke nira nnani ya ingo ya banafunzi ambayo hata tate bitu wala twenga twaweza kwa kustamili?
11 But we believe that we shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same manner as they.
Lakini twaaminiya panga twalowa lopolelwa kwa neema ya Ngwana Yesu, kati ya babile.
12 And all the multitude became silent, and listened to Barnabas and Paul, while they related what great signs and wonders God had wrought among the gentiles by them.
Likusanyiko lyote lyatinyamaza pababile bakimsikiliza Barnaba na Paulo pababile bakitoa taarifa ya ishara na maajabu ambayo Nnongo apangite pamope nabo kati ya bandu ba mataifa.
13 And after they had done speaking, James answered, saying, Brethren, hearken to me.
Pabalekite longela, Yakobo kayangwa nobaya, “Alongo munisikilize.
14 Simeon hath related how God first visited the gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
Simoni atielezea jinsi kwanza Nnongo kwa neema atibasaidia Mataifa ili panga ajipatie boka kwao bandu kwa ajili ya lina lyake.
15 And with this agree the words of the Prophets, as it is written:
Maneno ga manabii yanakubaliana na lee kati lyaliandikilwe.
16 “After this I will return, and will rebuild the tabernacle of David which hath fallen; and I will rebuild its ruins, and will set it up;
'Baada ya makowe aga nalowa kerebukya na kulichenga kae lihema lya Daudi, lyalitombokya pae; na nalowa kuiinua na kuhuisha uharibifu wake,
17 that the rest of men may seek after the Lord, and all the gentiles, who have been called by my name, saith the Lord, who doeth these things,
ili panga bandu balo batisalia bampale Ngwana, pamope na bandu ba mataifa bakemilwe kwa lina lyango.'
Nga nyo alongela Ngwana ywapangite makowe aga yayowanike tangu enzi ya zamani. (aiōn g165)
19 Wherefore my judgment is, that we should not trouble those who from among the gentiles are turning to God;
Nga nyoo bai, ushauri wangu ni, panga kana tuwapeye shida bandu ba mataifa bamkerebukia Nnongo;
20 but that we should write to them by letter to abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from that which hath been strangled, and from blood.
Lakini tuandike kwabe panga bajiepushe mable na uharibu ba sanamu, tamaa za uasherati, na nyongeza, na myai.
21 For Moses from the times of old hath had in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath.
Boka ibeleki ga apindo babile bandu katika kila mji wahubiria na kumsoma Musa katika masinagogi kila Sabato.”
22 Then it was decided by the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among themselves, and send them to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren.
Kwa eyo itibonekana kuwa yatibapendeza mitume na apindo, pamope na likanisa lyote, kuchawa Yuda ywakemelwa Barsaba na Silas, babile viongozi ba likanisa, na kubatuma Antiokia pamope na Paulo na Barnaba.
23 And they wrote by them, “The apostles, and the elders, and the brethren, to the brethren who are from the gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greeting.
Batiandika nyoo, “Mitume, apindo na alongo, kwa alongo ba Mataifa babile Antiokia, Shamu na Kilikia, salamu
24 Whereas we have heard, that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, to whom we gave no command;
Tuyowine panga bandu fulani ambao batibapatia kwaa amri yee, baboka kwitu na watibataabisha kwa afundisho galetayo shida mu'nafsi yinu.
25 it seemed good to us, having become of one mind, to choose men and send them to you, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Kwa eyo ibonekana vyema kwitu twabote kuchawa bandu na kubatuma kwinu pamope na apendwa witu Barnaba na Paulo,
26 men who have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
bandu babile bahatarisha maisha yabe kwa ajili ya lina lya Ngwana Yesu Kristo.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who will themselves tell you the same things by word of mouth.
Kwa eyo twatimtuma Yuda na Sila, balowa kuwabakiya makowe hago ago.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us, to lay upon you no further burden except these necessary things:
Kwa kuwa itibonekana vyema kwa Roho Mtakatifu na kwitu, kubeka kwaa nnani yinu mzigo nkolo kuliko makowe aga gabile ya lazima:
29 to abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which if ye keep yourselves, ye will do well. Farewell.”
panga mkerebuke boka mu'ilebe yatitolewa kwa sanamu, myai, ilebe ya kunyonga, na umalaya. Mana mwalowa jibeka kutalu na ayee, ipalika vyema kwinu. Kwa heri.”
30 They therefore being sent away came to Antioch; and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
Nga nyo bai, pabatawanyishwa, batiuluka Antiokia; baada ya kukusanya likusanyiko mpamo, batiwasilisha barua.
31 And when they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
Pababile baisoma, batipuraika kwa sababu ya kutiwa mwoyo.
32 And Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, exhorted the brethren with many words and confirmed them.
Yuda na Sila, na manabii balibatia mwoyo alongo kwa maneno ganyansima na kubapeya ngupu.
33 And when they had remained some time, they were dismissed with peace from the brethren to those who sent them.
Baada ta tama kwa muda fulani kolyo, batibatawanyisha kwa amani boka kwa alongo kwa balo babatumile.
(Lakini ibonekana vyema Sila kubaki kolyo)
35 But Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and publishing, with many others also, the glad tidings of the word of the Lord.
Lakini Paulo na benge batami Antiokia pamope na benge bengi, ambapo batifundisha na kuhubiri neno lya Ngwana.
36 And some days after, Paul said to Barnabas, Let us go again and visit the brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they are.
Baada ya masoba kadhaa Paulo kambakiya Barnaba, “Tukerebukyange nambeambe na kubatembelea alongo katika kila mji twalihubiri neno lya Ngwana, na kuabona babile namani.
37 And Barnabas determined to take with them John, called Mark.
Barnaba apala kuntola Yohana pamope ni bembe ywakemwa Marko.
38 But Paul did not think it proper to take with them a man who had left them in Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
Lakini Paulo kawaza kuwa inoite kwaa kuntola Marko, ywaalekite Pamfilia na ayendelea nabo kwaa katika kazi.
39 And there arose a sharp contention, so that they parted from each other, and Barnabas took Mark and sailed to Cyprus.
Pabile na mabishano makolo kwa eyo batitengana, na Barnaba atintola Marko na kusafiri kwa meli mpaka Kipro,
40 And Paul chose Silas and went forth, having been commended by the brethren to the grace of the Lord.
Lakini Paulo atimchawa Sila na kuboka, baada ya kukabidhiwa na alongo katika neema ya Ngwana.
41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
Na atiyenda pitya Shamu na Kilikia, atiimarisha makanisa.
