Acts 13
1 Among the members of the church at Antioch there were several prophets and teachers – Barnabas, Simeon who was known by the name of “Black”, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen, foster-brother of Prince Herod, 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 While they were engaged in the worship of the Lord and were fasting, the Holy Spirit said, ‘Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul, 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 Accordingly, after fasting and prayer, they placed their hands on them and dismissed them.
Pano ulukong'ano yelubuhila kulia, kukufunya, nakuvika amavoko ghave kuvanhu ava, vakavaleka valutaghe.
4 Barnabas and Saul, sent on this mission, as they were, by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and from there 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 On reaching Salamis, they began to tell the message of God in the Jewish synagogues; and they had John with them as an assistant.
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 After passing through the whole island, they reached Paphos, where they found an astrologer who pretended to be a prophet – a Jew by birth, whose name was Barjoshua.
Yevalutile mukiponge kyoni mpaka ku Pafo, valyam'bene umunhu jumonga umavi, Myahudi um'bili ghwa vudesi juno ilitavua lya mwene ghwe Bar Yesu.
7 He was at the court of the Governor, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence, who sent for Barnabas and Saul and asked to be told God’s message.
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 astrologer (for that is the meaning of the word), opposed them, eager to divert the Governor’s attention from the faith.
Looli u Elima “Umavi jula” (ndikio ilitavua lya mwenemwene fye lilya ghanulivue) alyavakanile; akghelile kukusetua u liwali jula ahume mulwitiko.
9 However, Saul (who is the same as Paul), full of the Holy Spirit, fixed his eyes on him and said,
Looli uSauli juno atambulwagha Paulo, alyamemile uMhepo Mwimike, akamulungumalila amaso
10 ‘You incarnation of deceit and all fraud! You son of the devil! You opponent of all that is good! Will you never cease to divert the straight paths of the Lord? Listen!
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 The hand of the Lord is on you even now, and you will be blind for a time and unable to see the sun.’ Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him, and he went feeling about for someone to guide him.
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 When the Governor saw what had happened, he became a believer in Christ, being greatly impressed by the teaching about the Lord.
Ye u Liwali alolile kino kihumile akitika ulwakuva alyale idegha imbulanisio isa Mutwa
13 After this, Paul and his companions set sail from Paphos and went to Perga in Pamphylia, where John left 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 The others went on from Perga and arrived at Antioch in Pisidia. There they went into the synagogue on the Sabbath and took their seats.
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 synagogue leader sent them this message – ‘Friends, if you have any helpful words to address to the people, now is the time to speak.’
Ye vimbile indaghilo na vaviili, avalongosi va nyumba sakufunyila akavomolela imola vakatisagha, “Vanyalukolo, nave mulinajo imola ijakuhovosia avaanhu mumwooojo avanhu apa, joovaghajoovagha”.
16 So Paul rose and, motioning with his hand, said: ‘People of Israel and all here who worship God, hear what I have to say.
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 ancestors, and during their stay in Egypt increased the prosperity of the people, and then with uplifted arm brought them out from that land.
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 about forty years he bore with them in the desert;
Amaka ifijigho fine aligudile mulukuve.
19 then, after destroying seven heathen nations in Canaan, he allotted their land to this people –
Ye ananginie ifisina lekela lubali mu iisi ija kanani alyavapelile avaanhu viitu muiisi jaave kuva ja vuhasi.
20 For about four hundred and fifty years. In later times he gave them Judges, of whom the prophet Samuel was the last.
Isi sooni silyahumiile amaka ifilundo fine ni fijigho fihano. Ye fikilile ifiinu ifi fyoni, uNguluve alyavapelile avalamusi mpaka u Samweli nu M'biili.
21 And, when they demanded a king, God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, who reigned 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 After removing him, he raised David to the throne, and bore this testimony to him – “In David, the son of Jesse, I have found a man after my own heart, who will carry out all my purposes.”
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 It was from this man’s descendants that God, in accordance with his promise, gave Israel a Saviour – Jesus;
Kuhuma mu kikolo ikya munhu uju u Nguluve ajiletile i Israeli um'poki, uYesu, ndavule alyafingile kuvoomba.
24 John having first proclaimed, before the appearance of Jesus, a baptism on repentance for 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 drawing towards the end of his career, he said “What do you suppose that I am? I am not the Christ. But there is ‘one coming’ after me, whose sandal 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 and sisters, descendants of Abraham, and all those among you who worship God, it was to us that the message of this salvation was sent.
Vanyalukolo, mwevana vakisina kya Abrahamu, navala vano mun'kate mulyumue mukufynya kwa Nguluve, vwimila vwitu kuuti imola iiji uvuvaangi vusung'ilue.
27 The people of Jerusalem and their leaders, failing to recognise Jesus, and not understanding the utterances of the prophets that 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 They found no ground at all for putting him to death, and yet demanded his execution from Pilate;
Napato navalyaluvwene vunono ulwa kufwila n'kate mwamwene, valyan'sumile u Pilato am'bude.
29 and, after carrying out everything written about him, they took Jesus down from the cross, and laid 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 appeared for many days to those who had gone up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, and who are now witnesses for him 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 also have good news to tell you, about the promise made to our ancestors –
Ku uluo tukuvaletela imola inofu vwimila ifiingo sino valyapelilue avisukulu viitu.
33 That our children have had this promise completely fulfilled to them by God, by his raising Jesus. That is just what is said in the second Psalm – “You are my Son; this day 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 As to his raising Jesus from the dead, never again to return to corruption, this is what is said – “I will give to you the sacred promises made to 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 And, therefore, in another Psalm it is said – “You will not give up the Holy One to undergo corruption.”
Ulu fyenambe ajovile kange mu ZaburiZaburi isinge, 'Naghukum'pelagha u vwimike vwako kukuvuvona uvuvole.'
36 David, after obediently doing God’s will in his own time, fell asleep and was laid by the side of his ancestors, and did undergo corruption;
Ulwakuva u Daudi ye avombile uvughane vwa Nguluve mukikolo kya mwene, akaghonelela, alyaghonile palikimo na vapafi va mwene, pe alyavwaghile uvunangike,
37 but Jesus, whom God raised from the dead, did not undergo corruption.
Looli juno alyasyusivue nu Nguluve nalyavwaghile uvunangike.
38 I would, therefore, like you to know, friends, that through Jesus forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you,
Uluo fyelukagulikaghe kulyumue, vanyalukolo, kukilila umunhu uju, ulusaghilo lwa vuhosi ludalikivue.
39 and that, in union with him, everyone who believes in him is absolved from every sin from which under the Law of Moses you could not be absolved.
Kwa mwene ghweni juno ikumwitika ivalilua vwakyang'ani naghoni ghanoghano indaghilo sa Musa nasale sikuvapela uvwakyang'ani.
40 Beware, therefore, that what is said in the prophets does not come true of you –
Pa uluo muve vafwihu kuuti kino valyajovile avaviili kilahumilagha kulyumue:
41 “Look, you despisers, and wonder, and perish; for I am doing a deed in your days – a deed which, though told you in full, you will never believe”.’
'Lolagha, umue mwevano musyojola, mudeghaghe kange mutipulivuaghe; ulwakuva nivoomba imbombo mufighono fiinu, imbombo jino namungajitike, nambe umunhu avoleleele ndani.”
42 As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people begged for a repetition of this teaching on the next Sabbath.
Unsiki ghuno Upaulo nu Barnaba ye vavukile, avanhu vakasuma vajove amasio agha kighono kya Sabati jinojikwisa kange.
43 After the congregation had dispersed, many of the Jews, and of the converts who joined in their worship, followed Paul and Barnabas, who talked with them and urged them to continue to rely on the loving kindness 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 On the following Sabbath, almost all the city gathered to hear God’s message.
Isabati jino jilyavingilile, hwene ilikaja lyoni lilyakong'anile kupulika ilisio lya Nguluve.
45 But the sight of the crowds of people filled the minds of the Jews with jealousy, and they kept contradicting Paul’s statements in violent language.
Ava Yahudi ye vavwene amapugha, vakamemagha igila nakujova amasio ghano ghakakanagha sooni sino silyajovilue nu Paulo kange vakamulighagha.
46 Then Paul and Barnabas spoke out fearlessly, and said: ‘It was necessary that the message of God should be told to you first; but, since you reject it and reckon yourselves not worthy of the eternal life – we turn to the Gentiles! (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 this is the Lord’s command to us – “I have destined you for a light to the Gentiles, a means of salvation to the ends of the earth”.’
Ndavule umutwa atuvulile, pano iiti, “Nivaviikile umwe hwene lumuli kuvanhu avapanji, ulwakuuti mulute uvuvaangi kumbale sooni isa iisi.”
48 On hearing this, the Gentiles were glad and extolled God’s message; and all those who had been enrolled for eternal life became believers in Christ; (aiōnios g166)
Avapanji yevapulike ili, valyahovwike nakulighinia ilisio lya Mutwa. Vinga vano alyasalulivue kuvwumi uvwajatu valyitike. (aiōnios g166)
49 and the Lord’s message was carried throughout that district.
Ilisio lya Mutwa likakwila iisi jooni.
50 But the Jews incited the women of high social standing who worshiped with them, and the leading men of the town, and started a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their region.
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 They, however, shook the dust off their feet in protest,
Looli u Paulo nu Barnaba valyakung'unile iling'undi mumaghulu ghavane.
52 and went to Iconium, leaving the disciples full of joy and of the Holy Spirit.
Pe vakaluta mulikaja ilya Ikonia. Avavulanisivua vakamema ulukelo palikimo Mhepo u Mwimike.
