Acts 14
1 The same thing occurred in Iconium, where Paul and Barnabas went into the Jewish synagogue, and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed in Christ.
Na rĩrĩ, Paũlũ na Baranaba marĩ kũu Ikonia, magĩtoonya thunagogi ya Ayahudi o ta mũtugo. Marĩ kũu makĩaria na ũhoti mũingĩ mũno o nginya Ayahudi aingĩ na andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ magĩĩtĩkia.
2 But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the Gentiles, and poisoned their minds against the Lord’s followers.
No Ayahudi arĩa maaregire gwĩtĩkia nĩmathogothire andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ, makĩmathũkia meciiria nĩgeetha mookĩrĩre ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ.
3 Therefore Paul and Barnabas spent a long time there, and spoke out fearlessly, relying on the Lord, who confirmed the message of his love by permitting signs and wonders to take place at their hands.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Paũlũ na Baranaba magĩikara kũu ihinda iraaya, makĩaria marĩ na ũcamba nĩ ũndũ wa Mwathani, o we wekĩrire ndũmĩrĩri ya wega wake hinya na ũndũ wa kũmahotithia kũringa ciama na morirũ.
4 But the townspeople were divided, some siding with the Jews, some with the apostles;
Andũ a itũũra rĩu inene makĩgayũkana; amwe magĩĩtĩkania na Ayahudi, nao arĩa angĩ magĩĩtĩkania na atũmwo.
5 and, when there was an attempt on the part of both Gentiles and Jews, with their leaders, to resort to violence and to stone them,
Nĩ kwarĩ na ndundu yathugundĩtwo nĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ na Ayahudi, hamwe na atongoria ao, nĩguo mameeke ũũru, na mamahũũre na mahiga nyuguto.
6 the apostles heard of it, and took refuge in Lystra and Derbe, towns in Lycaonia, and in the district around,
No nao makĩmenya ũhoro ũcio, na makĩũrĩra matũũra manene ma bũrũri wa Likaonia, na nĩmo Lisitera, na Deribe, o na bũrũri ũrĩa wagũthiũrũrũkĩirie,
7 and there they continued to tell the good news.
kũrĩa maathiire na mbere kũhunjia ũhoro mwega.
8 In the streets of Lystra there used to sit a man who had no power in his feet; he had been lame from his birth, and had never walked.
Nakuo kũu Lisitera nĩ kwarĩ mũndũ warĩ mwonju magũrũ, na aatũũrĩte arĩ mwonju kuuma gũciarwo na ndetwarĩte na magũrũ o narĩ.
9 This man was listening to Paul speaking, when Paul, looking intently at him, and seeing that he had the faith to be healed,
Nake agĩthikĩrĩria Paũlũ akĩaria. Paũlũ aamũrora, akĩona atĩ aarĩ na wĩtĩkio wa kũhonio,
10 said loudly, “Stand upright on your feet.” The man leaped up, and began walking about,
akĩmwĩta na mũgambo mũnene, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rũgama na magũrũ maku!” Na o hĩndĩ ĩyo, mũndũ ũcio akĩrũga na igũrũ, akĩambĩrĩria gwĩtwara.
11 and the crowd, seeing what Paul had done, called out in the Lycaonian language, “The Gods have come down to us in human form.”
Rĩrĩa gĩkundi kĩu kĩa andũ kĩonire ũrĩa Paũlũ eekĩte, gĩkĩanĩrĩra na rũthiomi rwa Likaonia gĩkiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngai nĩciikũrũkĩte kũrĩ ithuĩ itariĩ ta andũ!”
12 So they called Barnabas ‘Zeus,’ and Paul ‘Hermes,’ because he took the lead in speaking;
Magĩĩta Baranaba Zeu, nake Paũlũ makĩmwĩta Herime tondũ nĩwe warĩ mwaria ũrĩa mũnene.
13 and the priest of Zeus-beyond-the-Walls, accompanied by the crowd, brought bullocks and garlands to the gates, with the intention of offering sacrifices.
Mũthĩnjĩri-ngai ya Zeu, ũrĩa hekarũ yake yarĩ o hau nja ya itũũra, akĩrehe ndegwa na mahũa maatumĩtwo ta thũmbĩ hau kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra inene, tondũ we na gĩkundi kĩu kĩa andũ nĩmendaga kũmarutĩra magongona.
14 But, when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd. “Friends, why are you doing this?” they shouted.
No rĩrĩa atũmwo acio Baranaba na Paũlũ maaiguire ũguo, magĩtembũranga nguo ciao, makĩhanyũka, magĩtoonya kũrĩ kĩrĩndĩ, makĩanagĩrĩra atĩrĩ,
15 “We are only people like yourselves, and we have come with the good news that you should turn away from these follies to a living God, who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and everything that is in them.
“Andũ aya, mũreka ũguo nĩkĩ? Ithuĩ tũrĩ o andũ ta inyuĩ. Tũmũreheire ũhoro mwega, wa kũmwĩra mũgarũrũke mũtigane na maũndũ marĩa matarĩ kĩene, mũcookerere Ngai ũrĩa ũtũũraga muoyo, o we ũrĩa wombire igũrũ na thĩ na iria na indo ciothe iria irĩ kuo.
16 In bygone times he permitted all the nations to go their own ways.
Tene, nĩarekereirie ndũrĩrĩ ciothe ithiiage na mĩthiĩre yacio nyene,
17 Yet he has not failed to give you, in the good he does, some revelation of himself – sending you from heaven rain and fruitful seasons, and gladdening your hearts with plenty and good cheer.”
no ndaigana gwĩtiga atarĩ na ũira wa kuonania atĩ arĩ kuo: nĩamuonetie ũtugi na ũndũ wa kũmuurĩria mbura yumĩte igũrũ na kũmũhe magetha hĩndĩ ya kĩmera; nĩamũheaga irio nyingĩ na akaiyũria ngoro cianyu na gĩkeno.”
18 Even with this appeal they could hardly restrain the people from offering sacrifice to them.
No o na maarĩtie ciugo icio, nĩ maarĩ na wĩra mũritũ wa kũgiria gĩkundi kĩu kĩa andũ kĩmarutĩre igongona.
19 Presently, however, there came some Jews from Antioch, and Iconium who, after they had won over the people, stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the town, thinking him to be dead.
Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩyo Ayahudi angĩ magĩũka moimĩte Antiokia na Ikonia, nao makĩguucĩrĩria gĩkundi kĩu kĩa andũ, gĩgĩcooka mwena wao. Gĩkundi kĩu gĩkĩhũũra Paũlũ na mahiga nyuguto, na gĩkĩmũkururia, gĩkĩmũruta nja ya itũũra, gĩĩciirĩtie nĩ mũkuũ.
20 But, when the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the town; the next day he went with Barnabas to Derbe.
No arutwo maarĩkia kũmũrigiicĩria, agĩũkĩra agĩcooka itũũra-inĩ. Mũthenya ũcio ũngĩ warũmĩrĩire, we na Baranaba makiuma kũu magĩthiĩ Deribe.
21 After telling the good news throughout that town, and making a number of converts, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
Paũlũ wa Baranaba makĩhunjia ũhoro mwega itũũra-inĩ rĩu na magĩtũma andũ aingĩ matuĩke arutwo. Magĩcooka makĩhũndũka magĩthiĩ Lisitera, na Ikonia, na Antiokia,
22 reassuring the minds of the disciples, urging them to remain true to the faith, and showing that it is only through many troubles that we can enter the kingdom of God.
magĩĩkagĩra arutwo hinya na kũmomĩrĩria nĩgeetha matũũre marũmĩtie wĩtĩkio. Makameeraga atĩrĩ, “No nginya ithuĩ tũgerere mathĩĩna-inĩ maingĩ nĩguo tũtoonye ũthamaki-inĩ wa Ngai.”
23 They also appointed elders for them in every church, and, after prayer and fasting, commended them to the Lord in whom they had learned to believe.
Paũlũ na Baranaba makĩmaamũrĩra athuuri a kanitha na makĩhooya Ngai mehingĩte kũrĩa irio, makĩmaneana kũrĩ Mwathani, o we ũrĩa meehokete.
24 Paul and Barnabas then went through Pisidia, and came into Pamphylia,
Thuutha wa gũtuĩkanĩria Pisidia, magĩkinya Pamufilia,
25 and, after telling the message at Perga, went down to Attaleia.
na maarĩkia kũhunjia kiugo kũu Periga, magĩikũrũka magĩthiĩ Atalia.
26 From there they sailed to Antioch – the place where they had been committed to the gracious care of God for the work which they had now finished.
Moima Atalia makĩhaica marikabu, magĩcooka Antiokia, o kũrĩa maahoeirwo wega wa Ngai mbere nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra ũrĩa maarĩkĩtie kũruta.
27 After their arrival, they gathered the church together, and gave an account of all that God had helped them to do, and especially how he had opened to the Gentiles the door of faith;
Maakinya kũu magĩcookanĩrĩria andũ a kanitha hamwe, makĩmeera ũrĩa wothe Ngai ekĩte agereire harĩo na ũrĩa aahingũrĩire andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ mũrango wa gwĩtĩkia.
28 and at Antioch they stayed with the disciples for a considerable time.
Nao magĩikara na arutwo kũu ihinda iraaya.
