Acts 13
1 Now in the church in Antioch, there were some prophets and teachers. They were Barnabas, Simeon (who is called Niger), Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch), and Saul.
Itungili mi itekeelo nila ku Antiokia, ai akoli ang'wi a anyakidagu ni a ng'walimu. Ai atulaa Barnaba, Simioni (nai witang'waa Nigeri), Lukio nua ku Krene, Manaeni (muluna ni shanga nua sakami nuang'wa Herode mutongeeli nua mukoa), nu Sauli.
2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul, to do the work to which I have called them.”
Nai atulaa akumukulya uMukulu nu kudila kulya, uNg'wau Ng'welu ai uligitilye, “Nkomatuilyi kumpelo uBarnaba nu Sauli, itume u mulimo naza ni itangie”
3 After they had fasted, prayed, and laid their hands on these men, they sent them off.
Ze yakilaa i itekeelo kudila kulya, kulompa, nu kuika i mikono ao migulya a antu awa, aka aleka alongole.
4 So Barnabas and Saul obeyed the Holy Spirit and went down to Seleucia; from there they sailed to the island of Cyprus.
Ku lulo uBarnaba nu Sauli ai amukuiye u Ng'wau Ng'welu nu kusima kutunga ku Seleukia; Kupuma kung'wanso ai atungile u muhinzo mu luzi kutunga i kizonzo nika Kipro.
5 When they were in the city of Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. They also had John Mark as their assistant.
Nai akatula mu kisali nika Salami, Ai alutanantilye u lukani nulang'wa Itunda mu matekeelo a Ayahudi. Ai atulaa palung'wi ga nu Yohana Marko anga muailya nuao.
6 When they had gone through the whole island to Paphos, they found a certain magician, a Jewish false prophet, whose name was Bar Jesus.
Nai akalongola mu kizonzo kihi kupikiila ku Pafo, ai ahangile muntu nua kituunga mulogi, Muyahudi munyakidagu nua uteele, naiza i lina nilakwe ai latulaa Bar Yesu.
7 This magician associated with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, who was an intelligent man. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, because he wanted to hear the word of God.
uMulogi uyu ai wihanguie nu Lawi Sergio Paulus, nai watulaa muntu munyamahala. Muntu uyu ai uanile uBarnaba nu Sauli, ku nsoko ai uloilwe kija u lukani nulang'wa Itunda.
8 But Elymas “the magician” (that is how his name is translated) opposed them; he tried to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
Kuiti Elima “uyo u mulogi” (iti uu i lina nilkwe nai limpyanigwe) ai ua kingie, ai ugemile kumupiula uyo u liwali wapume mu uhuiili.
9 But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, stared at him intensely.
Kuiti uSauli nai witangwa Paulo, ai watulaa wizuigwe u Ng'wau Ng'welu, akamukunkuila i miho
10 and said, “You son of the devil, you are full of all kinds of deceit and wickedness. You are an enemy of every kind of righteousness. You will never stop twisting the straight paths of the Lord, will you?
nu kuligitya “Uewe ng'wana nua mulugu, wizuigwe ni mpyani yihi nia uteele nu unyeku. U ewe ingi wi mulugu nua kia mpyani nia tai ane. Shanga ukuleka kuipiula i nzila nia Mukulu, ni igolokile, itii ukuhuma?
11 Now look, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will become blind. You will not see the sun for a while.” Immediately there fell on Elymas a mist and darkness; he started going around asking people to lead him by the hand.
“Itungili goza, u mukono nua Mukulu ukoli migulya ako, hangi ukutula wi mupoku. Shanga ukihenga ilyoa ku itungo” nkua ing'wi ikunguguu ni kiti ai igwie migulya a Elimas; akandya kupilima papo wazelompa antu amutongeele kumuamba u mukono.
12 After the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, because he was astonished at the teaching about the Lord.
Ze yakilaa u liwali kihenga nai kipumie, ai uhuiie, ku nsoko ai ukuiwe ku umanyisigwa kutula Mukulu.
13 Now Paul and his friends set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. But John left them and returned to Jerusalem.
Itungili uPaulo ni ahumbauya akwe ai alongoe muhinzo mu mazi kupuma ku Pafo hangi akapika ku Perge mu Pamfilia. Kuiti uYohana ai ua lekile nu kusuka ku Yerusalemu.
14 Paul and his friends traveled from Perga and came to Antioch of Pisidia. There they went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.
uPaulo ni ahumbauya akwe ai atungile u muhinzo kupuma ku Perge nu kupika ku Antiokia a ku Pisidia. Uko ai alongoe mi itekeelo luhiku nula kusupya nu kikie pihi.
15 After the reading of the law and the prophets, the leaders of the synagogue sent them a message saying, “Brothers, if you have any message of encouragement for the people here, say it.”
Ze yakilaa kusoma i ilagiilyo nu unyakidagu, atongeeli ni itekeelo ai ualagiiye utung'waa wazeligitya, “Anya ndugu, anga ize mukete u utuung'wa nua kuhumya insula antu apa, muligitye.”
16 So Paul stood up and motioned with his hand; he said, “Men of Israel and you who honor God, listen.
Ku lulo uPaulo ai wimikile nu kuanyansuila u mukono; ai uligitilye, “Itunja a ku Israeli nu nyenye ni mimukulya Itunda, tegeelyi.
17 The God of this people Israel chose our fathers and made the people numerous when they stayed in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm he led them out of it.
Itunda nua awa i antu nia Israeli ai uaholanilye i a tata itu nu kuazipya antu idu nai ikie mi ihi a Misri, nu ku mukono nuakwe kunyansulwa ai uatongee kunzi akwe.
18 For about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.
Ku myaka makumi anne ai uagigimiiye mi ibambazi.
19 After he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave our people their land for an inheritance.
Ze yakilaa kumabipya i maingu mutandatu mi ihi a Kanaani, ai uinkiiye i antu itu ihi ao ku usali.
20 All these events took place over four hundred and fifty years. After all these things, God gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.
Maintu aya ihi ai apumie ikilo i myaka magana anne ni makumi a taano. Ze yakilaa i intu izi yihi, Itunda ai uinkiiye alamuli kupikiila uSamweli munyakidagu.
21 Then the people asked for a king, and God gave them Saul son of Kish, a man from the tribe of Benjamin, to be king for forty years.
Ze yakilaa aya, antu ai alompile u mutemi, iti Itunda ai uinkiiye uSauli ng'wana wang'wa Kushi, muntu nua ndugu ang'wa Benjameni, kutula mutemi ku myaka makumi anne,
22 After God removed him from the kingship, he raised up David to be their king. It was about David that God said, 'I have found David son of Jesse to be a man after my heart, who does all I want him to do.'
Uugwa ze yakilaa Itunda akamuheja mu utemi akamunyansula uDaudi kutula mutemi nuao. Ai ituile ingi kutula uDaudi kina Itunda ai uligitilye, 'Namulijaa uDaudi ng'wana nuang'wa Yese kutula muntu nuiloeigwe ni nkolo ane; naiza ukituma kila ikintu nikindoile,'
23 From this man's descendants God has brought to Israel a savior, Jesus, as he promised to do.
Kupuma mu ndugu a muntu uyu Itunda umiletee i Israeli muguni, uYesu, anga nai ulagile kituma.
24 This began to happen when, before Jesus came, John first announced the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
Ili landiiye kupumila, ze ikili uYesu kupembya, uYohana ng'wandyo ai utanantilye wogigwa nua kila itunu ku antu ihi nia Israeli.
25 As John was finishing his work, he said, 'Who do you think I am? I am not the one. But listen, one is coming after me, the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.'
Nu ng'wenso uYohana nai wakatula ukumailya mulimo nuakwe, ai uligitilye, 'Musigile unene ni nyenyu? unene shanga ingi uyo. Kuiti tegeelyi, nupembilye kituli kane, nimugila u uhumi nua kutolya i ilatu nia migulu akwe,'
26 Brothers, children of the line of Abraham, and those among you who worship God, it is to us that the message about this salvation has been sent.
Anyandugu, Ana andugu ang'wa Abrahamu, ni awo naza mu kati anyu mi mipoelya Itunda, ingi ku nsoko itu kina ikani nila ugunwa lilagiigwe.
27 For they who live in Jerusalem, and their rulers, did not recognize him, and they fulfilled sayings of the prophets that are read every Sabbath by condemning him.
Ku awo ni ikie ku Yersalemu, ni atemi ao, shanga ai amulingile ku kulu kuulu, ni ang'wi shanga ai alulingile u lukani nula anyakidagu naza lisong'wa kila luhiku nula kusupya; ku lulo ai apikiiye u lukani nula anyakidagu ku kumulamula insha uYesu.
28 Even though they found no good cause for death in him, they asked Pilate to kill him.
Anga itule shanga ai aligilye i nsoko ni nziza ku nsha mukati akwe, ai amulompile uPilato wamubulage.
29 When they had completed all the things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.
Nai akamala imakani ihi nai akilisigwe kutula nuanso, ai amusimilye kupuma mikota nu kumulalya mu kibiila.
30 But God raised him from the dead.
Kuiti Itunda akamiusha kupuma mu ashi,
31 He was seen for many days by those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. These people are now his witnesses to the people.
Ai wigeelekile ku mahiku idu ku awo nai alongoe palung'wi nu ng'wenso kupuma ku Galilaya kulongola ku Yerusalemu, Antu awa itungili ingi akuiili nia antu.
32 So we are telling you the good news that what God promised to our fathers
Iti gwa ku umuletela nkani ni nkende kutula ilago nai inkiigwe i isekulu itu.
33 he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm: 'You are my Son, today I have become your Father.'
Itunda ai uikile imalago aya kitaitu, ana ao, mu nilanso ai umiukilye uYesu nu kumususha hangi mu upanga. Ili ga likilisigwe mu malumbiilyo a kabiili; 'Uewe ingi ng'wana nuane, lelo natulaa ni Tata nuako,'
34 The fact that he raised him up from the dead so that his body would never decay, God has spoken in this way: 'I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.'
Ga ni kutula i tai ingi kina ai umiukilye kupuma kuashi iti kina muili nuakwe uleke kubipa, uligitilye iti; 'Nikakinkiilya u welu nu ukende kulu kuulu nuang'wa Daudi.'
35 This is why he also says in another Psalm, 'You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.'
Iyi yiyo nsoko waligitya ga mu malumbiilyo ni ma ngiiza, 'Shanga ukulekela u ng'welu nuako kihenga i kiolu.'
36 For when David had served the desires of God in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was laid with his fathers and his body experienced decay.
Ku nsoko ze yakilaa u Daudi ku uaiilya u ulowa nuang'wa Itunda mu ulelwa nuakwe, ai ulae, akalalikigwa palung'wi ni a tata akwe, hangi ai uihengile u ubipigwa.
37 But he whom God raised up experienced no decay.
Kuiti nai wiukigwe nu Itunda shanga ai uihengile u ubipigwa.
38 So let it be known to you, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you forgiveness of sins.
Iti gwa ni ilingike kitalanyu, anya ndugu, ku kiila muntu uyu, ulekelwa nua milandu watanantigwa.
39 By him every one who believes is justified from all the things which the law of Moses could not justify you.
Ku nuanso kila nu uhuiie wia iligwaa tai ane ni makani ihi niiza ilagiilyo nilang'wa Musa shanga ai lizee inkiilya i tai ane.
40 So then be careful that the thing the prophets spoke about does not happen to you:
Iti gwa ila tuli miakendegeeli kina i kintu nai akiganue i anyakidagu kileke kupumila kitalanyu;
41 'Look, you despisers, and be astonished and then perish; For I am doing a work in your days, A work that you shall never believe, even if someone announces it to you.'”
Goza, unye adi ni mimelaa, hangi mende mukuilwe hangi mende mulimiligwe; ku iti kituma u mulimo mu mahiku anyu, Mulimo niiza shanga muhumile ku uhuiila, anga ga nu muntu wikumuganuila.”
42 As Paul and Barnabas left, the people begged them that they might speak these same words again the next Sabbath.
Matungo uPaulo nu Barnaba nai akahega, antu aka alompa aligitye i makani aya luhiku nula kusupya nu luzile.
43 When the synagogue meeting ended, many of the Jews and devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them and urged them to continue in the grace of God.
Matungo ianza nili tekeelo nai likaula, Ayahudi idu ni aokole akomu ai a atyatile uPaulo nu Barnaba, naza aligitilye ni enso hangi ai a asamiiye alongole mu ukende nu ang'wa Itunda.
44 On the next Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of the Lord.
Luhiku nula kusupya nai lutyatile, pakupi kisali kihi ai kilingiie kija u lukani lang'wa Itunda.
45 When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and spoke against the things that were said by Paul and insulted him.
Ayahudi nai akihenga iumbi, ai izuiwe nu wilu nu kuligitya makani nai akingie i intu nai itambuwe nu Paulo hangi ai amutukie.
46 But Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, “It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you. Seeing you push it away from yourselves and consider yourselves unworthy of eternal life, see, we will turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
Kuiti uPaulo nu Barnaba ai atambue ku ukamatiku nu kuligitya, “Ai yatulaa ingulu kina lukani nu lang'wa Itunda luganulwe hanza kitalanyu. Kunsoko mukulu suntiilya kuli kupuma kitalanyu nu kiona kina shanga muhiiye kutula nu upanga nua kali na kali, kendegeeli kuapilukila i anyaingu. (aiōnios g166)
47 For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, 'I have placed you as a light for the Gentiles, that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.'”
Anga niiza uMukulu ukulagiiye, azeligitya, 'Numuikile unyenye anga welu ku antu a ingu, kina mulete u ugunwa ku nkika yihi ni yihi.”
48 As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and praised the word of the Lord. As many as were appointed to eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)
Anya ingu na akija ili, ai iloile nu kulu lumbiilya u lukani nula Mukulu. Idu nai aholanigwe ku upanga nua kali na kali ai ahuiie. (aiōnios g166)
49 The word of the Lord was spread out through the whole region.
Lukani nula Mukulu ai lenee ihi ihi
50 But the Jews urged on the devout and important women, as well as the leading men of the city. These stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas and threw them out beyond the border of their city.
Kuiti Ayahudi ai a asingilye nai ipumilye ni asungu ni angulu, ga ni atongeeli a kisali. Aya ai akinyie u lwago kung'wa Paulo nu Barnaba hangi ai a agumile kunzi a mimbi nia kisali.
51 But Paul and Barnabas shook off the dust from their feet against them. Then they went to the city of Iconium.
Kuiti uPaulo nu Barnaba ai akununtile u lunkundi nula migulu ao. Uugwa akalongola mu kisali nika Ikonia.
52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
Ni amanyisigwa ai izuiwe nu ulowa palung'wi nu Ng'wau Ng'welu.
