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.
Eshi hwi kanisa lya hu Antiokia, bhahali akuwe na bhaalimu. Bhahali bha Barnaba, Simeoni itawa (elya mwao ali Nigeri). Lukio uwahu Kirene, Manaeni( yali mwanakwao nu Herode ulongozi we mkoa), 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.”
Lwabhaputaga na funje, Umpepo Ufinjile wayanga, “Nabhaala akristi waga nefwezi a Paulo nu Barnaba bhabhale humbombo yembasaluliye(Yembakwzizizye).”
3 Accordingly, after fasting and prayer, they placed their hands on them and dismissed them.
Ikanisa palyabapuutila bhabhiha amakono pitwe lyabho, bhabhaleha bhabhalaje.
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.
U Barnaba nu Paulo bhamwitishe Umpepo Ufinjile bhahasogola bhahafiha huseleukia afume uhwo, bhahashula bhashila muminzi mpaka hu 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.
Na bhahali hu Salami, bhahalumbilila izu elya Ngulubhi mumasinagogi ga Yahudi bhahali nu Yohana (U Marko) yabhavwaga.
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.
Nabhabhalile hushisiwa sha Pafo bhahamwajile umuntu umo itawa yu Bar Yesu umuntu uyo ali ni tuunga nantele ali kuwe wilenga.
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.
Umuntu unu ahavwanwaga nu ugosi we Wilaya u Sergion Paulus, ali umuntu wi njele umwene abhakwizizye a Paulo nu Barnaba ahanzaga atejelezye izu elya Ngulubhi.
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.
Lelo u Elima “ula uwitunga sigahanzaga huje ula uliwali (ugosi we wilaya) atipinjile tete ahanzaga hugaluzanye hahitishile zyabhayanga a Paulo nu Barnaba.
9 However, Saul (who is the same as Paul), full of the Holy Spirit, fixed his eyes on him and said,
Lelo uSauli yahitwaga Paulo, walangulila amaso amemile Umpepo Ufinjile, akamkazia macho
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!
waga awe wumwana wa shetani wupenga shila hantu ahinza aha Ngulubhi, ugaluzanya idala lya Ngulubhi lyaligulushe ubhaliwezye?
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.
Eshi enya, ukhono gwa Ngulubhi guli nawe ubhabhefwe maso, subhalilole isanya, nawayanga isho pepo walola enkisi amaso gafa, walabha abhantu abhahukhate ukhono aje bhalongozye.
12 When the Governor saw what had happened, he became a believer in Christ, being greatly impressed by the teaching about the Lord.
Ula uli wali alolaje esho walyeteha izu lya Ngulubhi aswijile tee zila zyazyabhombishe hwuula uwitunga.
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.
U Paulo wa bhamwabho bhasogola bhafiha hu Pafo bhafiha na hu Pafo bhafiha a hu Perge hu Pamfilia. U Yohana(U Marko) wabhaleha umwene wawela hu 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 wamwabho bhashula afume hu Perge bhafiha hu Antiokia yahu Pisidia. Uhwo bhahinjila mwisinagogi isiku elya Sabato(eleye lutuyo).
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.”
Nabhabhazya esheria na kuwe, alongozi bhe sinagogi bhabhatuma abhantu huje kabhanga mlinezyayanje muyanje na bhantu.”
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.
U Paulo wabhuha wayanga waga mubhalume namwe mwamuhumwitiha Ungulubhi tejelezi(umwumi).
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.
Ungulubhi wa bhantu ebha abha Israeli abhasaluye abhaise bhetu na huje bhanyame bhabhe bhinji pabhakhiye hunsi ya Misri, nu khono gwakwe abhalongozizye.
18 For about forty years he bore with them in the desert;
Humaha amalongo gane hwijangwa.
19 then, after destroying seven heathen nations in Canaan, he allotted their land to this people –
Nabhagananganya amataifa saba aga hu Kaanani, abhapiiye abhaise betu ensi yabho aje ebhensi yabho aise bhetu.
20 For about four hundred and fifty years. In later times he gave them Judges, of whom the prophet Samuel was the last.
Ezi zyonti zyabhombishe humaha zaidi ye maha emia zine na mashomi gasanu nazya shila ezi zyonti, Ungulubhi abhapeelile abhameli mpaka u Samweli Ukuwe.
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.
Pamande abhaiisraeli bhahalabha umfumu, Ungulubhi abapela uSauli umwana wa kishi uwishikholo sha Benjamini, alongozizye amaha amalongo gane.
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.’
Ungulubhi pawamwefwa uSauli, wabhiha uDaudi aje abhe mfumu wabho. Ungulubhi ahile uDaudi agukhondezizye zyonti zyenziganile ane.'
23 It was from this man’s descendants that God, in accordance with his promise, gave Israel a Savior – Jesus;
Afume mushikholo sha Daudi Ungulubhi atiletiye ugombozi uYesu Kilisti, neshi shatilaginye aje aibhomba.
24 John having first proclaimed, before the appearance of Jesus, a baptism on repentance for all the people of Israel.
Shasile ahwenze uYesu ahinzile uYohana nasoti umwene atangazizye uwozyo uwalaambe hwa bhantu bhonti abhaIsraeli.
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.’
Wope uYohana nawamala embombo yakwe abhabhuuzya abhantu huje amwe muiga ane ne nanu? Ane sendi yayula, umvwi ahwinza umwene yampyanila ane uyo anesiga embajiye ata husatule evilato vyakwe.'
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.
Abheshikholo sha Ibulahimu mwa mupuuta hwa Ngulubhi, unuu Yesu atinziye tete.
27 The people of Jerusalem and their leaders, failing to recognize Jesus, and not understanding the utterances of the prophets that are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.
Hwa bhaala bhabhakhala hu Yerusalemu, na gosi bhabho sigabhaminye uYesu ata nongwa ezya akuwe zyabhabhazya shila lutuyo(Sabato); bhitimilizizye enongwa zya akuwe nabhahabudile uYesu.
28 They found no ground at all for putting him to death, and yet demanded his execution from Pilate;
Nantele sigabhazyajile embibhi ezyahugoje uYesu pabhalabhile u Pilato huje agoje.
29 and, after carrying out everything written about him, they took Jesus down from the cross, and laid him in a tomb.
Nabhamalizya zyonti zyasimbililwe bhahamwisya mwikwi bhahagonia munkungwa.
30 But God raised him from the dead;
Lelo Ungulubhi ahazyusya afume hwa bhafwe.
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.
Nawazyuha ahajenda na bhantu bhakwe ensiku zinyinji nabhaala abhantu eshi bhaketi bha bhantu.
32 We also have good news to tell you, about the promise made to our ancestors –
Eshi tibhaletela enongwa enyinza ezye ndaganyo zya bhapewilwe agogolo betu.
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.’
Ungulubhi abhishile endaganyo ezi hulite, tibhana bhabho Ungulubhi azyusizye apiye uwomi wane nantele. Ezi zyasimbilwe mu Zaburi eya bhili: 'Awe uli Mwana wane, ane endi Yise waho'
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;’
Ungulubhi azyusizye afume hwa bhafwe aje ubili gwakwe gusahananjishe nu lusayo lwa lyoli ulwa Daudi'
35 And, therefore, in another Psalm it is said – ‘You will not give up the Holy One to undergo corruption.’
Neshi shayanjile muzaburi apamwabho, subhahuleshe, ufinjile waho alole uvunzu.'
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;
U Daudi nawabhombela Ungulubhi embombo yakwe ne mpapo yakwe, agonile(afwiye), bhahagonizye pandwimo na bhaise bhakwe aulolile uvunzu,
37 but Jesus, whom God raised from the dead, did not undergo corruption.
Umwene yazyusiwe nu Ngulubhi siga aulolile uvunzu.
38 I would, therefore, like you to know, friends, that through Jesus forgiveness of sins is being proclaimed to you,
Eshi mumanye mwenti huje ashilile hwa muntu unu ulusajilo lwe mbibhi lulombelelwe hulimwe.
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.
Ashilile hwunu tisajilwe naganje gonti gaala gehapotilwe esheria ya Musa atipele.
40 Beware, therefore, that what is said in the prophets does not come true of you –
Eshi mukhalaje maso aje zyazyayangwilwe nakuwe zisahafumile hulimwe:
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’.”
'Eshi, amwe mwamudhalau, muswije nantele muyaje; ebhomba embombo hunsiku zyenyu, sigamuzyeteha ata umuntu abhabhuule.”
42 As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people begged for a repetition of this teaching on the next Sabbath.
U Paulo nu Barnaba pabhasogola abhantu bhabhabhuula huje enongwa ezi mugayanjile mwisiku lye tuyo(Sabato) yehwenza.
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.
Ubhungano ugwamwi sinagogi nagwamaliha Ayahudi na bhaongofu bhabhalondola aPaulo nu Barnaba, bhayanga nabho mukhalaje mwibhangili lya Ngulubhi.
44 On the following Sabbath, almost all the city gathered to hear God’s message.
Mulutuyo ulwamwabho nalwenza abhantu bhabhungine bhabhinsi ahwenze atejelezye izu lya Ngulubhi.
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.
Ayahudi nabhalola uwinji wa bhantu bhabhatejelezya aPaulo bhabha nu kero, bhayanga enongwa embibhi na hubhalije.
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)
A Paulo nu Barnaba bhayanga nkahwogope bhaga izu lya Ngulubhi tulubhiliye hulimwe nasoti amwe mulibunshiye uhutali eshi ate tibhala hwa bha Mataifa. (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’.”
Neshi Ugosi shatibhuulile huje embabhishile amwe huje mubhe lukhozya munsi yonti mubhatwalile uwausha abhantu bhonti abha munsi.”
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)
Abhamataifa nabhumvwa isho bhasha(basungwa) tee nalilumbilile izu lya Ngulubhi. Nabhalabhabhasalulwe hu womi uwawila bhahitishe. (aiōnios g166)
49 and the Lord’s message was carried throughout that district.
Izu lya Ngulubhi lanyampana hwonti.
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.
Lelo ayahudi bhabhavitilwe aPaulo nu Barnaba bhabhabhinga aje bheepe mumpaho yensi yabho.
51 They, however, shook the dust off their feet in protest,
U Paulo nu Barnaba bhabhakunyitila amankowi ga mumanama gabho bhasogola bhabhala hu Ikonia.
52 and went to Iconium, leaving the disciples full of joy and of the Holy Spirit.
Amanyili (abhanafunzi) bhahali nuluseshelo nu Mpepo Ufinjile.
