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].
Jhatokili mu Ikonio kujiha paulo ni Barnaba bhajhingili pamonga mu sinagogi lya Bhayahudi ni kulongela namana ambajho likundi libhaha lya bhanu Bhayahudi ni Bhayunani bhakyeriri.
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].
Lakini Bhayahudi bhabhalii bhabhachochili luhala bhamataifa ni kubhabhomba khujha bhbhibhi dhidi jha ndongo.
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.
Kwa hiyo bhatamili okhu kwa muda mrefu, bhaka jhabhilongela kwa ujasiri kwa ngofu, jha Bwana, kuni ipisya uthibitisho kuhusu ujumbe bhwa neema jha muene. Abhombi naha kwa kubhosya isshara ni maajabu fibhombibhwayi kwa mabhoko gha Paulo ni 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.
Lakini lieneo libhaha lya mji lyagabhwanyiki baadhi jha bhanu bhajhele pamonga ni Bhayahudi ni baadhi pamonga ni mitume.
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.
Bwakati bhamataifa ni Bhayahudi bhobhajaribu kubhashawishi bhalongosi bha bhene kubhabhombela vibaya ni kubhaponda ni maganga Paulo ni 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].
Bhakalimanya e'lu ni kujumbila mu miji ghya Likonia, Listra ni Derbe, ni maeneo ghaghisyongo'ka pala,
7 [While they were] in that area, they continually told people the message [about the Lord Jesus].
ni okhu bhahubiri injili.
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.
Ni okhu Listra pajhele ni munu mmonga jhaatameghe, ajhelepi ni ngofu mumagolo gha muene, kilema kuhomela mu lileme lya nyinamunu, abhwayilepi kugenda.
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.
Munu ojho ampeliki Paulo ilongela. Paulo ankazili mihu ni kubhona ajhele ni imani jha kunyesibhwa.
10 So Paul called out [to him], “Stand up!” [When the man heard that], he [immediately] jumped up and began to walk [normally].
Hivyo ajobhili kwa muene kwa sauti mbaha, “Jhemayi kwa magolo gha jhobhi” Ni munu jhola aniki kunani ni kuyanda kugenda.
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]!”
Bhumati bho bhubhwene kya abhombili Paulo bhajhinuili sauti sya bhene bhakajha bhijobha kwa lahaja jha kitikanio, “Miungu jhituselelili kwa namna jha binadamu.”
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.
Bhan'kutili Barnaba “Zeu,” ni Paulo “Herme.” Kwa ndabha ajhele msemaji mbaha.
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.
Kuhani ghwa Zeu, ambajhe hekalu lya muene lyajhele kwibhala ku mji aletili fahari la ng'ombe ni ntongo ghwa maua mpaka ku ndiangu ghwa mji muene ni umati bhalondeghe kuhomesya sadaka.
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,
Lakini mitume, Barnaba ni Paulo, bho bhalipeliki e'le, bharaneili maguanda gha bhene manyata bhakalota kubhala ku umati bhilela.
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.
Ni kajobha, “Enyi bhanu, kwandayakiki mwibhomba mambo agha? ni tete kabhele twebha binadamu bhenye ligoga kama lya muenga. Tukabhaletela habari njema, kwamba mgeukayi kuhomela mu fiti efufya fitondikalepi ni kulota kwa K'yara jha ajhe hai jhaabhombi mbingu, dunia ni bahari ni khila khenu kyakijhele.
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].
Mu nyakati sya silotili, abharuhuisi mataifa kugenda mu njela sya bhene.
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.”
Lakini bado abhokilepi bila shahidi, kwa e'lu abhombi kinofu na abhapelili fula kuhoma kumbinguni ni nyakati sya mazao akajhimemesya mioyo ghinu kwa fyakulya ni furaha.
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].
Hata kwa malobhi agha Paulo ni Barnaba kwa shida bhakauzuila umati kubhasopela sadaka.
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].
Lakini baadhi jha Bhayahudi kuhomela Antiokia ni Ikonio bhahidili kuushawishi umati. Bhan'homelili maganga Paulo ni kundundusya hadi kwibhala ku mji, bhakajha bhitegemela afuili.
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.
Hata naha bhanafunzi bhajhele bhajhemili karibu nabhu ajhu muiki, bhakajhingila ku nyini. Ligono lya pili, alotili Derbe ni 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].
Baada jha kumanyisya injili mu mjibhola ni kubhabhomba bhanafunzi bhamehele bhakerebhuiki Listra, hadi Ikoniamu, ni hadi Antiookia.
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].”
Bhajhendelili kuiman'sya nafsi sya bhanafunzi ni kupelibhwa muoyo kujhendelela mu imani, akajoobha, “Lazima tujhingilayi ku ufalme bhwa K'yara kwa kupetela malombosi ghamehele.
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].
Bho bhabha teuili kwa ndabha jha bhene bhaseya kwa kila likusanyiku lya bhaaminio na bhakajha bhas'okili ni kufunga, bhabhakabidhi kwa Bwana, ambajhe bhene bhamwaminili.
24 After Paul and Barnabas had traveled through Pisidia [district], they went [south] to Pamphylia [district].
Kisha bhapelili kupisidia, bhafikili 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.
Bhwakati bhalongili malobhi perga, bhaselili kulota 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.
Kuhoma okhu bhakweli meli hadi Antiokia ambako bhajhele bhakihomisi kwa neema jha K'yara kwa ndabha jha mbombo ambayo henu bhajhele bhaikamilisi.
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].
Bhobhafikili okhu Antiokia, ni kulibhonganiya, likusanyiku lya pamonga, bhakapisya taarifa jha mambo ambagho K'yara agha bhombi kwa bhene, ni jinsi kya abhadendeilili ndiangu ghwa imani kwa bhanu bha mataifa.
28 Then Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch with the [other] believers for several months.
Bhatamili kwa muda mrefu ni bhanafunzi
