Acts 13
1 There were now (some *k*) in Antioch in what is [the] church prophets and teachers, both Barnabas and Simeon who is being called Niger and Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen also — with Herod the tetrarch brought up — and Saul.
Mu mpingo wa ku Antiokeya munali aneneri ndi aphunzitsi awa: Barnaba, Simeoni, Lukia wa ku Kurene, Manayeni (amene analeredwa pamodzi ndi mfumu Herode), ndiponso Saulo.
2 As were ministering now they to the Lord and fasting said the Spirit Holy; do set apart then to Me (both *k*) Barnabas and (*k*) Saul for the work to which I have called them.
Iwo pamene ankapembedza Ambuye ndi kusala kudya, Mzimu Woyera anati, “Mundipatulire Barnaba ndi Saulo kuti akagwire ntchito imene ndinawayitanira.”
3 Then having fasted and having prayed and having laid the hands on them they sent [them] off.
Ndipo atasala kudya ndi kupemphera anasanjika manja awo pa iwo nawatumiza.
4 (They themselves *N(k)O*) indeed therefore having been sent forth by of the Holy (the *k*) Spirit went down to (*k*) Seleucia, From there (then *NK(o)*) they sailed to (*k*) Cyprus.
Barnaba ndi Saulo motumidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera, anapita ku Selukeya ndipo kuchokera kumeneko anakwera sitima ya pamadzi kupita ku Kupro.
5 And having come into Salamis they were proclaiming the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; They had now also John [as] a helper.
Pamene anafika ku Salamisi, analalikira Mawu a Mulungu mʼMasunagoge a Ayuda. Iwo anali ndi Yohane monga wowatumikira.
6 Having passed through now (all *NO*) the island as far as Paphos they found (a man — *NO*) a certain magician a false prophet Jewish — whose name (of Bar-Jesus, *N(k)O*)
Iwo anayenda pa chilumba chonse mpaka anafika ku Pafo, kumeneko anapezanako ndi Myuda, wamatsenga amene analinso mneneri wonama dzina lake Barayesu.
7 who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, man an intelligent. He having called to [him] Barnabas and Saul desired to hear the word of God.
Iyeyu, amathandiza mkulu wa boma, Sergio Paulo. Mkulu wa bomayu, munthu wanzeru, anayitana Barnaba ndi Saulo chifukwa anafuna kumva Mawu a Mulungu.
8 Was opposing however to them Elymas the magician — thus for means the name of him — seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith.
Koma Elima wamatsengayo, (Elima tanthauzo lake ndi wamatsenga), anatsutsana nawo ndipo anafuna kumuletsa mkulu wa bomayo kuti asakhulupirire.
9 Saul then also [called] Paul having been filled [the] Spirit Holy (and *k*) having looked intently upon him
Koma Saulo, amenenso amatchedwa Paulo, wodzazidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera anamuyangʼanitsitsa Elima ndipo anati,
10 said; O full of all deceit and all craft, son of [the] devil, enemy of all righteousness, not will you cease perverting the ways (of the *no*) Lord upright?
“Iwe ndiwe mwana wa mdierekezi ndiponso mdani wa chilungamo! Ndiwe wodzaza ndi chinyengo cha mtundu uliwonse ndi kuchenjera konse. Kodi sudzaleka kupotoza njira zolungama za Ambuye?
11 And now behold [the] hand (*k*) of the Lord [is] upon you, and you will be blind not seeing the sun during a season. Immediately (then descended *N(k)O*) upon him mist and darkness, and going about he was seeking one to lead by hand.
Tsopano dzanja la Ambuye likukutsutsa iwe. Udzakhala wosaona ndipo kwa kanthawi sudzatha kuona kuwala kwa dzuwa.” Nthawi yomweyo khungu ndi mdima zinamugwera ndipo anafunafuna munthu woti amugwire dzanja kuti amutsogolere.
12 Then having seen the proconsul that having happened he believed being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
Pamene mkulu wa bomayo anaona zimene zinachitika anakhulupirira pakuti anadabwa ndi chiphunzitso cha Ambuye.
13 Having sailed then from Paphos [with] those around [him] (*k*) Paul came to Perga of Pamphylia. John however having departed from them he returned to Jerusalem.
Kuchokera ku Pafo, Paulo ndi anzake anayenda pa sitima ya pamadzi kupita ku Perga wa ku Pamfiliya, kumeneko Yohane anawasiya nabwerera ku Yerusalemu.
14 They themselves now having passed through from Perga came to Antioch (Pisidia, *N(k)O*) and (having gone *NK(o)*) into the synagogue on the day of the Sabbaths they sat down.
Kuchokera ku Perga anapita ku Pisidiya wa ku Antiokeya. Pa tsiku la Sabata analowa mʼsunagoge, nakhala pansi.
15 After then the reading of the law and of the Prophets sent the rulers of the synagogue to them saying; Men brothers, if any there is among you a word of exhortation toward the people, do speak.
Atawerenga mawu a mʼMalamulo ndi Aneneri, akulu a sunagoge anawatumizira mawu ndi kuti, “Abale ngati muli ndi mawu olimbikitsa nawo anthuwa, nenani.”
16 Having risen up then Paul and having made a sign with the hand he said; Men Israelites and you who [are] fearing God, do listen.
Atayimirira, Paulo anakweza dzanja lake ndi kuti, “Inu Aisraeli ndiponso inu a mitundu ina amene mumapembedza Mulungu, tandimverani!
17 The God of the people this of Israel chose the fathers of us and the people exalted in the sojourn in [the] land (of Egypt *N(k)O*) and with arm uplifted brought them out of it;
Mulungu wa Aisraeli anasankha makolo athu ndipo anawapatsa chuma chambiri pamene amakhala ku Igupto. Anawatulutsa mʼdzikomo ndi dzanja lake lamphamvu.
18 and of about forty years for a period He endured the ways of them in the wilderness,
Ndipo Iye anapirira khalidwe lawo mʼchipululu kwa zaka makumi anayi.
19 and having destroyed nations seven in [the] land of Canaan He gave as an inheritance (to them *k*) the land of them —
Mulungu anawagonjetsera mitundu isanu ndi iwiri ya ku Kanaani ndipo anapereka dzikolo kwa Israeli kuti likhale lawo.
20 during years four hundred and fifty; And after these things He gave [them] judges until Samuel the prophet;
Izi zonse zinatenga zaka 450. “Zitatha izi, Mulungu anawapatsa oweruza mpaka nthawi ya mneneri Samueli.
21 Then Then they asked for a king, and gave to them God Saul son of Kish, a man of [the] tribe of Benjamin, years forty;
Kenaka anthu anapempha kuti awapatse mfumu, ndipo anawapatsa Sauli mwana wa Kisi, wa fuko la Benjamini amene analamulira zaka makumi anayi.
22 And having removed him He raised up David to them as king, to whom also He said having carried witness: I have found David the [son of] Jesse a man according to the heart of Mine, who will do all the will of Mine.
Mulungu atamuchotsa Sauli, anayika Davide kukhala mfumu yawo. Mulungu anamuchitira umboni kuti, ‘Ndapeza Davide mwana wa Yese munthu wa pamtima panga; iye adzachita zonse zimene ine ndikufuna kuti iye achite.’
23 Of this [man] the God of the seed according to promise (has brought *N(K)O*) to Israel ([the] Savior *NK(O)*) Jesus —
“Kuchokera mwa zidzukulu za munthu ameneyu, Mulungu anawutsa Yesu kukhala Mpulumutsi wa Aisraeli, monga analonjezera.
24 When was proclaiming John before [the] face of the coming of Him a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
Yesu asanabwere, Yohane analalikira kwa anthu onse Aisraeli za kutembenuka mtima ndi ubatizo.
25 While then was fulfilling (*k*) John the course he was saying; (whom *N(k)O*) me myself do you suppose to be? Not am [he] I myself; but behold He comes after me myself of whom not I am worthy the sandal of the feet to untie.
Pamene Yohane amatsiriza ntchito yake anati: ‘Mukuganiza kuti ine ndine yani? Ine sindine ameneyo ayi, koma Iye akubwera pambuyo panga, amene ine sindine woyenera kumasula zingwe za nsapato zake.’
26 Men brothers, sons of [the] family of Abraham and you who [are] among you fearing God, (to us *N(K)O*) the message of the salvation this (was sent out. *N(k)O*)
“Abale, ana a Abrahamu, ndiponso inu a mitundu ina amene mumaopa Mulungu, Iye watumiza uthenga wachipulumutsowo kwa ife.
27 Those for dwelling in Jerusalem and the rulers of them Him not having known and the voices of the prophets that on every Sabbath are being read, having condemned [Him] they fulfilled [them];
Anthu a ku Yerusalemu ndi atsogoleri awo sanazindikire Yesu, komabe pomuweruza Yesu anakwaniritsa mawu a Aneneri amene amawerengedwa Sabata lililonse.
28 And no cause of death having found they begged Pilate to execute him.
Ngakhale sanapeze chifukwa choti afe, anapempha Pilato kuti amuphe.
29 When then they had finished (all *N(k)O*) the [things] about Him written, having taken [Him] down from the tree they put [Him] in a tomb.
Atachita zonse zimene zinalembedwa za Iye, iwo anamuchotsa pa mtengo ndipo anamuyika mʼmanda.
30 But God raised Him out from [the] dead,
Koma Mulungu anamuukitsa,
31 who appeared for days many to those having come up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who (now *NO*) are witnesses of Him to the people.
ndipo kwa masiku ambiri anaonekera kwa amene anayenda naye kuchokera ku Galileya mpaka ku Yerusalemu. Iwowa tsopano ndi mboni zake kwa anthu a Israeli.
32 And we ourselves to you evangelise the to the fathers promise having been made,
“Ife tikukuwuzani Uthenga Wabwino; umene Mulungu analonjeza makolo athu.
33 that this God has fulfilled to the children of them (to us *NK(O)*) having raised up Jesus, as also in the psalm it has been written in the (second *NK(O)*) Son of Mine are You yourself, I myself today have begotten you.’
Iye wakwaniritsa zimenezi kwa ife ana awo, poukitsa Yesu kuchokera kwa akufa. Monga zinalembedwa mu Salimo lachiwiri kuti, “Iwe ndiwe mwana wanga; lero ine ndakhala Atate ako.”
34 for then He raised Him out from [the] dead no more being about to return to decay, thus He has spoken that I will give to you the holy [blessings] of David the sure [blessings].’
Zakuti Mulungu anamuukitsa kuti asawole konse, zinanenedwa mʼmawu awa: “‘Ine, ndidzakupatsa madalitso opatulika ndi odalirika amene ndinalonjeza Davide.’
35 (therefore *N(k)O*) also in another He says: Not You will allow the Holy One of you to see decay.’
Nʼchifukwa chakenso zinalembedwa mu Salimo lina kuti, “‘Simudzalekerera woyera wanu kuti awole.’
36 David indeed for in his own generation having served the of God purpose he fell asleep and he was added to the fathers of him and saw decay;
“Pakuti pamene Davide anatsiriza kutumikira Mulungu mu mʼbado wake, anamwalira, iye anayikidwa mʼmanda pamodzi ndi makolo ake ndipo thupi lake linawola.
37 The [One] however God raised up not did see decay.
Koma amene Mulungu anamuukitsa kwa akufa sanawole ayi.
38 Known therefore it should be to you, men brothers, that through this One to you forgiveness of sins is proclaimed;
“Nʼchifukwa chake, abale anga, dziwani kuti mwa Yesu chikhululukiro cha machimo chikulalikidwa.
39 And from all things from which not you were able in (the *k*) law of Moses to be justified, in Him everyone who is believing is justified.
Kudzera mwa Iye aliyense amene akhulupirira, alungamitsidwa kuchoka ku tchimo lililonse limene silingachoke ndi Malamulo a Mose.
40 do take heed therefore lest may come about (upon you *K*) that said in the prophets:
Samalani kuti zimene aneneri akunena zisakuchitikireni inu:
41 Behold! you scoffers, and do wonder and do perish for a work am working I myself in the days of you, a work (that *N(k)O*) certainly not you may believe even if one shall declare it to you.’
“‘Onani, inu anthu onyoza, dabwani ndipo wonongekani, chifukwa ine ndidzachita china chake mʼmasiku anu, inu simudzazikhulupirira ngakhale wina atakufotokozerani!’”
42 When are departing then (they *no*) (from the *k*) (synagogue *K*) (of the *k*) (Jews *K*) were begging (the gentiles *K*) on the next Sabbath to be spoken to them declarations these.
Pamene Paulo ndi Barnaba amatuluka mʼSunagoge, anthu anawapempha kuti adzapitirize kuyankhula zinthu zimenezi Sabata linalo.
43 When was releasing then the synagogue followed many of the Jews and of the worshipping converts after Paul and after Barnabas, who speaking to them were persuading them (to continue *N(k)O*) in the grace of God.
Atatha mapemphero, Ayuda ambiri ndi anthu odzipereka otembenukira ku Chiyuda anatsatira Paulo ndi Barnaba, iwo anayankhula ndi anthuwo ndipo anawapempha kuti apitirire mʼchisomo cha Mulungu.
44 On the (now *NK(o)*) coming Sabbath almost all the city was gathered together to hear the word (of the Lord. *N(K)O*)
Pa Sabata linalo pafupifupi anthu onse a mu mzindawo anasonkhana kudzamva Mawu a Ambuye.
45 Having seen however the Jews the crowds they were filled with jealousy and were contradicting the [things] by (*k*) Paul (spoken *N(k)O*) (denying and *K*) denigrating [him].
Pamene Ayuda anaona gulu la anthu, anachita nsanje ndipo anayankhula zamwano kutsutsana ndi zimene Paulo amanena.
46 Having spoken boldly (also *N(k)O*) Paul and Barnabas said; To you it was necessary first to be spoken the word of God; but since (now *ko*) you thrust away it and not worthy you judge yourselves of eternal life, behold we are turning to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
Ndipo Paulo ndi Barnaba anawayankha molimba mtima kuti, “Ife tinayenera kuyankhula Mawu a Mulungu kwa inu poyamba. Popeza inu mwawakana ndi kudziyesa nokha osayenera moyo wosatha, ife tsopano tikupita kwa anthu a mitundu ina. (aiōnios g166)
47 Thus for has commanded us the Lord: I have set you for a light of [the] Gentiles to be you for salvation until [the] uttermost part of the earth.’
Pakuti izi ndi zimene Ambuye anatilamula ife: “‘Ine ndakuyika iwe ukhale kuwunika kwa anthu a mitundu ina, kuti ukafikitse chipulumutso ku malekezero a dziko lapansi!’”
48 Hearing [it] then the Gentiles (were rejoicing *NK(o)*) and they were glorifying the word of the (Lord *NK(O)*) and they believed as many as were appointed to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Anthu a mitundu ina atamva izi, anakondwa ndipo analemekeza Mawu Ambuye; ndipo onse amene anawasankha kuti alandire moyo osatha anakhulupirira. (aiōnios g166)
49 Was carried then the word of the Lord through all the region.
Mawu a Ambuye anafalikira mʼchigawo chonse.
50 The but Jews incited the worshipping women (and *k*) [those] prominent and the principals of the city and they stirred up a persecution against Paul and (*k*) Barnabas and expelled them from the district of them.
Koma Ayuda anawutsa mitima ya akazi otchuka opembedza Mulungu ndi akulu a mu mzindamo. Iwo anabweretsa mazunzo kwa Paulo ndi Barnaba ndipo anawathamangitsa mʼchigawo chawo.
51 But having shaken off the dust of the feet (of them *k*) against them they went to Iconium.
Tsono iwo anasasa fumbi la ku mapazi awo powatsutsa, ndipo anapita ku Ikoniya.
52 (and *N(k)O*) the disciples were filled with joy and [the] Spirit Holy.
Ndipo ophunzira anadzazidwa ndi chimwemwe ndiponso ndi Mzimu Woyera.
