Acts 14
1 At Iconium Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish meeting place and spoke very convincingly [about the Lord Jesus]. As a result, many Jews and also non-Jews believed [in Jesus].
Puyeikhahumila mugati mu Ikonio uPavuli nu Barnaba vaingile paninie mugati mu sinagogi lya Vayahudi nakhunchova umueikhei kundi eikhei vaha kya vanu Avayahudi na Vayunani vakheidikha.
2 But [some of] the Jews refused to believe [that message, and] told the non-Jews not to believe it. They told the non-Jewish people that the message [about Jesus] was not true. As a result, [some of] the non-Jews became angry towards the believers [there].
Na Vayahudi avasavikhwedikha vakhan'chon'cheela uluhala khuvanya panji ukhuvavikha vavevivi khuvalukolo lwavo.
3 So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there speaking boldly for the Lord, and the Lord Jesus enabled them to do many miracles. In this way he showed [people] that the message about how the Lord saves us in a way that we do not deserve is true.
Puvakhatama ukhuu suikhei utali, nukhun'chova khumakha ga Daada, khunu vihumya uwayilweli ukhuhusu eikulongwi ya kheisa kya mwene. Avombile n'chei nukhuhumya iishara nifiswigo vivombekhe khumavokho ga Pauli nu Barnaba.
4 The people [who lived] in [Iconium] city strongly disagreed with each other [concerning the message about Jesus]. Some of them agreed with the Jews [SYN] [who did not believe that message]. Others agreed with Paul and Barnabas.
Pu eilimenyu eilivaha lukhamenyukha: vaninie avanu vakhava paninie na Vayahudi, na vange vakhava paninie navasuhwa.
5 Then the non-Jewish people and the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] [who opposed those two] talked among themselves about how they could mistreat them. Some of the important men in that city agreed to help them. Together, they decided that they would [kill Paul and Barnabas by] throwing stones at them.
Vu avanya panji na Vayahudi vuvigela ukhuvavala avalongon'chi ukhuvavomba fivi nukhuvaponda na mawe uPauli nu Barnaba,
6 But Paul and Barnabas heard about that, so they quickly went away to Lycaonia [district. They went] to Lystra and Derbe [cities in that district] and to the area surrounding [those cities].
vakhalimanya eilyo nukhunyilila khu Liakonia, Listra nakhu Derbe, namamenyu ag'inchungutila pala,
7 [While they were] in that area, they continually told people the message [about the Lord Jesus].
nukhu vakhalumbilila eilimenyu(eilivangeili).
8 [Once while Paul was preaching to people] in Lystra, a man was sitting there who was crippled in his legs. When [his mother] bore him he had crippled legs, so he was never able to walk.
Nukhu khu Listra khwale nu munu yumo uvaatamaga bila makha mumalunde ga mwene, indemale ukhuhuma mulitumbu lya mamaye sagelile ukhugenda.
9 He listened as Paul was speaking [about the Lord Jesus]. Paul looked directly at him and could see [in the man’s face] that he believed that [the Lord Jesus] could make him well.
Umunu uyu ampulikhe upuuli vuinchova uPavuli akhakaseihin'cha amiho nu khivoni ukhuta alei nuluedikho lya khupona.
10 So Paul called out [to him], “Stand up!” [When the man heard that], he [immediately] jumped up and began to walk [normally].
Pu akhanchova khumwe nei savuti eimbaha, “Eimanamalunde gakho.” Nu munu ula akhanyela khu kianya nukhutengu ukhugenda.
11 When the crowd saw what Paul had done, [they thought that Paul and Barnabas] [were/must be]) [the gods that they worshipped]. So they shouted [excitedly] in their [own] Lycaonia language, “[Look! These people are] the gods [that we(inc) worship! They] made themselves look like people and have come down [from the sky/heaven to help us]!”
Avanu vuvalolile eikhiavo mbile uPavuli, vakhinula isavuti n'cha vene vakhata mu lahaja ya Kilikaonio, “eiminguluve gikhile mukhivokho kya munu.”
12 They began to say that Barnabas was [probably the chief god, whose name was]. And [they began to say that] Paul was Hermes, [the messenger/spokesman for the other gods. They mistakenly thought that] because Paul was the one who had been speaking.
Vakhamwii langa uBarnaba “Zeu,” nu Paulo “Herme” pakhuva aliinchovajiimbaha.
13 Just outside [the gates of] the city there was a temple [where the people worshipped Zeus. The priest who was there heard what Paul and Barnabas had done, so he came] to the city gate, where many people had already gathered. He brought [two] bulls with wreaths [of flowers around their necks]. The priest and the other people wanted to kill the bulls [as part of a ceremony] to worship Paul and Barnabas.
Unchungaji umbaha va Zeu, uvi uyu eitembile ya mwene yale khunji khuu mji aletile eisenga nu tungo gwa mavuva eipakha pandiango gwa muji umwene na vanu voni vanogwagwa ukhuhumya ei sadakha.
14 But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard about that, [and understood that the people thought that they were gods and wanted to sacrifice the bulls to worship them], they [were very distressed], so they tore their own clothes. They rushed among the people, shouting,
Pu avasuhwa, nu Barnaba nu Paul vuva pulikhe eleivakhalalula emienda gywa vene vakhanyila uluvilo khunji khuvanu, vakhalila
15 “Men, (you must not kill those bulls [to worship us(dl)!]/why are you doing this?) [RHQ] [We are not gods]! We are just human beings like you! We have come to tell you some good news! [We have come to tell you about] God who is all-powerful. He wants you to stop worshipping other gods, because they cannot help you. This true God made the heaven/sky and the earth and the oceans and everything in it.
nu khun'chova, “Umwe mwei vanu, kheikhii muvomba imbombo iinchii? Na yufye tulivanu vanyalioyo ndumwe tuvagegile eikhulongwei enonu ukhuta mupeendukha ukhuhuma mufinu ifi ifisafinogile nukhundola Unguluve umwumii, uviavumbile khukianya nei khuilunga iinyanja nifinu fyooni ifivonekha.
16 In the past, all of you non-Jewish people [worshipped whatever gods that you wanted to]. God let you worship them, [because you did not know him].
Musikhei Unguluve avalufutisye avanyapanji ukhugenda munjila n'cha vene vavo.
17 But he has shown us [LIT] [that] he acts kindly [toward us(inc)]. He is the one who causes it to rain and causes crops to grow. He is the one who gives you plenty of food, and makes you very happy.”
Pakhuva badu, sahen'chiin'che kheinchila saidi, pa eilei avombile vunonu akhavapa eifula ukhuhuma khukianya usikhei gwa kyakhulya akhavadin'cheihein'cha inumbula n'cheinyo nei fyakhulya nuluhekhelo”
18 The people heard what [Paul] said, but they still thought that they should sacrifice those bulls to worship Paul and Barnabas. [But finally, the people decided not to do it].
Ate mumamenyu aga, uPauli nu Barnaba khuu sida vavasigile avanu ukhuhumya esadakha.
19 [However], after that, some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and persuaded many of the people of Lystra [that the message Paul had been telling them] was not true. The people [who believed what those Jews said became angry with Paul. They let the Jews] throw stones at him [until he fell down, unconscious]. They [all] thought that he was dead, so they dragged him outside the city [and left him lying there]. But some of the believers [in Lystra had followed them outside the city].
Pu avanu va khuhuma khu Vayahudi va khuu Antiokia nakhu Ikonio vikhiincha khukhuvasawisi. Vakhantove uPauli na mawe nu khundundun'cha mpakha khunji vakhakhei hamo afuile.
20 They came and stood around Paul, [where he was lying on the ground]. And Paul [became conscious! He] stood up and went back into the city [with the believers]. Acts 14:20b-23 The next day, Paul and Barnabas [left Lystra and] traveled to Derbe.
Pakhuva avakongi va emile kalibu nave akhasisimukha akheingila mjini. Eisikhu ya veile akhaluta khu Derbe nu Barnaba.
21 They [stayed there several days and they kept telling] the people the good message [about Jesus]. Many people became believers. After that, Paul and Barnabas [started on their way back. They] went again to Lystra. [Then they went from there] to Iconium, and [then they went] to Antioch [in Pisidia province].
Vuamanyisye eilimenyu mumiji gula nukhuvavikha avakongi vingi, vikhavuya khuu Listra, hadi Ikoniamu hadi Antiokia.
22 [In each city], they helped the believers [SYN] to become strong [spiritually], and they urged them to keep on trusting in [the Lord Jesus]. They told [the believers], “It is necessary that [we endure] people often persecuting us [(inc)] before we enter the place where God will rule [over us forever].”
Vaendelile ukhudulusya inumbula n'cha vakongi nukhuvapa amakha ukhun'chiga mu ndwedikho, akhanchova(akhata), “Pupanogile ukhuta twingile mundudeva lya Nguluve eisida(eitabu) yu nyingi.”
23 Paul and Barnabas appointed leaders for each congregation. [And before Paul and Barnabas left each town, they gathered the believers together and spent some time] praying and (fasting/not eating any food). Then Paul and Barnabas entrusted the [leaders and other believers] to the Lord [Jesus], in whom they had believed, [in order that he would care for them].
Vuvavahalile khuunjila ya vagogolo kheila lulundamano lya veidekhii vakhava vadovile nukhufunga, vava vekhiile mwa Daada, uvi uyuva mweidekhee.
24 After Paul and Barnabas had traveled through Pisidia [district], they went [south] to Pamphylia [district].
Pu vakhagenda khuu Pisidia, vakhafikha khuu Pamfilia.
25 [In that district], they [arrived] at Perga and preached God’s message [about the Lord Jesus to the people there. Then] they went down [to the seacoast] at Attalia.
Vuvanchovile amamenyu khuu Perga, vakhikha ukhuluta khuu Atalia.
26 There they got on a ship and went back to Antioch [in Syria province]. That was the place where Paul and Barnabas had been appointed {where [believers] had sent Paul and Barnabas} to go [to other places] and preach. [Antioch was the place where the believers] had asked God to kindly help Paul and Barnabas in the work that they had now completed.
Ukhuhuma ukhu vaipakhile ei meli ipakhaa khu Antiokia khukhwa vaeihumin'che khuu kheisa kya Nguluve khuu mbombo yeiyo vamaleisin'ehe.
27 When they arrived in Antioch, they called the believers together. Then Paul and Barnabas told them all that God had helped them to do. [Specifically, they told them how God] had enabled [IDM] [many] non-Jewish people to believe [in Jesus].
Vuvafikhee ukhu khu Antiokia, nukhuvunganwa(ukhulundamanwa) ululundamano lya paninie vakhahumya ei taarifa ya mbombo eiye Unguluve avombile khuu vene nei njila yeyo Unguluve avadindulile undiango gwa lunon'chehencho khuu vanu Avanyapanji.
28 Then Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch with the [other] believers for several months.
Vaataamile usikhei utali navakongi.
