Acts 11
1 Now the apostles and the brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
Mitume ni bhalongo bhale bhabhajhe okhu Yudea bhap'eliki kujha bhamataifa bhalipokili lilobhi lya K'yara.
2 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
Petro bho ahidili okhu Yerusalemu, likundi lya bhanu bha bhatahiribhu bhakajhanda kun'kosola, bhakajobha,
3 saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.
“Ushikamane ni bhanu bhabhabeli kutahiribhwa na wilya nabhu!”
4 But Peter began, and expounded [the matter] unto them in order, saying,
Lakini Petro akajhanda kujhelesya litukio kwa kina, akajobha,
5 I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even unto me:
“Nisomeghe mu ghwa Yafa, na nabhwene maono gha khenu kiselela pasi kama nghobho jhiselela kuhomela kumbinguni mu pembe syake syoha. kyaselili kwa nene.
6 upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw the fourfooted beasts of the earth and wild beasts and creeping things and fowls of the heaven.
Nakilolili ni kufikirira juu jha kiene. Nabhabhwene bhanyama bhenye magolo mancheche bhabhitama mu nchi ni bhanyama bha mudasi ni bhanyama bhabhi boya ni fidege fya angani.
7 And I heard also a voice saying unto me, Rise, Peter; kill and eat.
Kisha nikap'eleka sauti jhijobha ni nene, “jhumukayi, Petro, chinjayi nauliayi!”
8 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath ever entered into my mouth.
Nikajobha, “Nahalepi, Bwana, mundomo mwa nene kibhwayilepi kujhingila khenu kyokyoha kyakibeli kujha kitakatifu au kichafu”
9 But a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God hath cleansed, make not thou common.
Lakini sauti jhajibi kabhele kuhomela kumbinguni, khela K'yara kya kakitangaseli kujha kinofu, usikikuti najisi,
10 And this was done thrice: and all were drawn up again into heaven.
Ejhe jhatokili mara sidatu na khila khanu kyatolibhu kumbinguni kabhele.
11 And behold, forthwith three men stood before the house in which we were, having been sent from Caesarea unto me.
Langayi bwakati obhu bhanu bhadatu bhajhela bhajhele; bhatumibhu kuhomela Kaisaria kuhida kwa nene.
12 And the Spirit bade me go with them, making no distinction. And these six brethren also accompanied me; and we entered into the man’s house:
Roho akanijobhela lotayi nabhu, na nisitofautiani nabhu. Abha bhagosi sits bhakalota pamonga ni nene na twalitili munyumba jha munu mmonga.
13 and he told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying, Send to Joppa, and fetch Simon, whose surname is Peter;
Atujobhili fela kyambwene malaika ajhe mili mugati mu nyumba jha muene akajobha, “Nilaghisiayi Yafa nikandetayi Simoni ambajhe lihina l'enge Petro.
14 who shall speak unto thee words, whereby thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.
Ibeta kujobha ujumbe kwa bhebhe muobhu wibeta kuokoka bhebhe ni nyumba jha jhobhi jhioha.”
15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.
Bhonijhandi kujobha nabhu, Roho mtakatifu akahida panani pa bhene kama kya ahidili kwa tete kubhwandelu.
16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
Nikomboka malobhi gha Bwana, kya ajobhili, “Yohana abatisibhu kwa masi, lakini mwibeta kubatisibhwa kwa Roho mtakatifu.”
17 If then God gave unto them the like gift as [he did] also unto us, when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?
Kabhele kama K'yara ahomisi zawadi kama sya atupelili tete potukyeriri Bwana Yesu kristu, nene ne niani kujha nibhwesya kumpinga K'yara?
18 And when they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then to the Gentiles also hath God granted repentance unto life.
Bhobhap'eliki mambo agha, bhakerebhuisi lepi, bali bhan'sifili K'yara ni kujobha, “K'yara apisi toba kwa ajili jha bhamataifa kabhele.”
19 They therefore that were scattered abroad upon the tribulation that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phoenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none save only to Jews.
Basi bhaamini ambabho malombosi ghajhandili mu kifo kya stefano bhatawanyiki kuhoma Yerusalemu- bhaamini abha bhalotili patali hadi mpakaFoinike, Kipro ni Antiokia. Bhabhajobhili ujumbe kuhusu yesu muene kwa bhayahudi na sio kwa jhongi jhejhioha.
20 But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Greeks also, preaching the Lord Jesus.
Lakini baadhi jhabhene ndo bhanu kuhoma kipro ni krene, bhahidili Antikia ni kujobha ni bhayunani ni kun'hubiri Bwana Yesu.
21 And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number that believed turned unto the Lord.
Ni kibhoko kjya Bwana bhwajhele pamonga ni bhene, na bhanu bhingi bhakeriri ni kun'geukila Bwana.
22 And the report concerning them came to the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas as far as Antioch:
Habari sya bhene syafikili mu mb'olokoto mwa kanisa lya Yerusalemu: na bhan'tumili Barnaba alotayi mpaka Anttikia.
23 who, when he was come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad; and he exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord:
Bho ahidi ni kubhona karama jha K'yara ahobhwiki; na abhapeli muoyo bhuoha kubakila ni Bwana mu mioyo ghya bhene.
24 for he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.
Kwa ndaba ajhele munu mwema na amemesibhu ni Roho mtakatifu ni imani ni bhanu bhamehele bhakajhongeseka kwa Bwana.
25 And he went forth to Tarsus to seek for Saul:
Baadaye Barnaba alotili Tarso kumbona Sauli.
26 and when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that even for a whole year they were gathered together with the church, and taught much people; and that the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
Bho an'kabhili, akandeta Antiokia. Akajha kwa mwaka ghuoha bhakabhonganika pamonga ni kanisa ni kubhamanyisya bhanu bhamehele. Ni bhanafunzi bhakakutibhwa bhakristu kwa mara jha kuanza okhu Antiokia.
27 Now in these days there came down prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.
Ni katika magono agha manabii bhakaselela kuhomela Yerusalemu, mpaka Antiokia.
28 And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be a great famine over all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius.
Mmonga bhabhi Agabo ndo lihina lya muene, akajhema iashiribhwa ni Roho kujha njala jhikali jhibeta kutokela pa ulimwengu poha Ese syahomili wakati wa magono gha Klaudio.
29 And the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren that dwelt in Judaea:
Kwa hiyo bhanafunzi khila mmonga kya afanikibhu, bhaamuili kupeleka misaada kwa bhalongobhe jhe Uyahudi.
30 which also they did, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
Bhabhombi naba; bhalaghisi hela kwa kibhoko kya Barnaba ni Sauli.
