Acts 11
1 Now the Apostles, and the brethren in various parts of Judaea, heard that the Gentiles also had received God's Message;
Atume na bhamwabho bhabha uhwo hu Yudea bhahumvwizye huje apagani(amataifa) bhope bhalye jeleye izu lya Ngulubhi.
2 and, when Peter returned to Jerusalem, the champions of circumcision found fault with him.
U Petro pawawela hu Yerusalemu abhamwabho bhahanda husale,
3 "You went into the houses of men who are not Jews," they said, "and you ate with them."
“Bhaga usangine na pagani nantele uliye nabho!”
4 Peter, however, explained the whole matter to them from the beginning.
Lelo uPetro wayanga zyazyamwajile,
5 "While I was in the town of Jaffa, offering prayer," he said, "in a trance I saw a vision. There descended what seemed to be an enormous sail, being let down from the sky by ropes at the four corners, and it came close to me.
“Nahali hula hu Yafa, nahali apuute nahalola embonesyo naahalola ahantu hamwiha afume humwanya hali neshi umwenda hahwiha huline.
6 Fixing my eyes on it, I examined it closely, and saw various kinds of quadrupeds, wild beasts, reptiles and birds.
Nahenyizye haala ahantu, nahalola evintu muhati vyavisugwa evyamwigona evyamumenze, ne hwavula pansi.
7 I also heard a voice saying to me, "'Rise, Peter, kill and eat.'
Numvwa izu liyinga evyo vyalye sinza ulye!”
8 "'On no account, Lord,' I replied, 'for nothing unholy or impure has ever gone into my mouth.'
Ane naga sembwahile alye evintu evibhibhi nantele vichafu”
9 "But a voice answered, speaking a second time from the sky, "'What God has purified, you must not regard as unholy.'
Lila izu evintu vyavyozizye Ungulubhi uganje avyeete aje vibhibhi awe vichafu,
10 "This was said three times, and then everything was drawn up again out of sight.
Zyabhombeha esho hatatu hala ahantu hazubha nantele humwanya.
11 "Now at that very moment three men came to the house where we were, having been sent from Caesarea to find me.
Abhantu bhatatu bhahimiliye mundyango bhabhafumile hu Kaisaria ahwinze huline.
12 And the Spirit told me to accompany them without any misgivings. There also went with me these six brethren who are now present, and we reached the Centurion's house.
Umpepo wambuula waga longozanya nabho leha ahwogope ebha alume tanda tabhalile tenti takhiye mwa muntu umo.
13 Then he described to us how he had seen the angel come and enter his house and say, "'Send to Jaffa and fetch Simon, surnamed Peter.
Atibhuulile huje umalaika ajile tume umuntu abhale hukwizye uPetro hu Yafa.
14 He will teach you truths by which you and all your family will be saved.'"
Abhayanje enongwa zya Ngulubhi nawe ubhahwokoshe nabhantu bhonti bha munyumba yaho.”
15 "And," said Peter, "no sooner had I begun to speak than the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as He fell upon us at the first.
Panahandile ayanje nabho, Umpepo Ufinjile wabhinjila nesha atinjiye ate.
16 Then I remembered the Lord's words, how He used to say, "'John baptized with water, but you shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit.'
Nahizushe zyayanjile uYesu huje uYohana ahozyaga abhantu na minzi lelo amwe mubhahwoziwe nu Mpepo Ufinjile.”
17 "If therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we first believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, why, who was I to be able to thwart God?"
Eshi Ungulubhi nkashele abhapiye Umpepo Ufinjile abhantu abhanje neshi atipiye ate, ane nenanu embakhane?
18 This statement of Peter's silenced his opponents. They extolled the goodness of God, and said, "So, then, to the Gentiles also God has given the repentance which leads to Life."
Nabhumvwa sebhayanga nkazimo, bhaluumba Ungulubhi bhaga Ungulubhi unu abhapiye abhantu umwoyo ugwalambe bhabhali bhapagani”
19 Those, however, who had been driven in various directions by the persecution which broke out on account of Stephen made their way to Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, delivering the Message to none but Jews.
Amalabha gagahandile pafwiye u Stefano abhaKilisti bhanyampana afume hu Yerusalemu bhafishile mpaka hu Foinike, Kipro na hu Antiokia. Ohwo hwonti bayangaga bhayahudi bhene abhanje sigabhabhabhuulaga.
20 But some of them were Cyprians and Cyrenaeans, who, on coming to Antioch, spoke to the Greeks also and told them the Good News concerning the Lord Jesus.
Lelo abhanji bhafumile hu Kipro na hu Kirene, bhabhalumbiliye ayunani izu lya Yesu.
21 The power of the Lord was with them, and there were a vast number who believed and turned to the Lord.
Ukhono gwa Ngulubhi gwali na bhene, abhantu bhabhinji bhapendushe bhagalushila uYesu.
22 When tidings of this reached the ears of the Church in Jerusalem, they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch.
Enongwa zyabho zyafiha mumakutu ga Kilisti bhabhali hu Yerusalemu: bhatuma uBarnaba abhale hu Antiokia.
23 On getting there he was delighted to see the grace which God had bestowed; and he encouraged them all to remain, with fixed resolve, faithful to the Lord.
U Barnaba nawafiha asungwilwe tee abhagwizizye umwoyo aje bhadulaje mwa Yesu mumoyo gabho.
24 For he was a good man, and was full of the Holy Spirit and of faith; and the number of believers in the Lord greatly increased.
Ali muntu mwinza tee nantele ali muntu wimpyana nu Mpepo Ufinjile ali muhati yakwe nulwitishilo, abhantu bhabhinji bhonjelela hwa Yesu.
25 Then Barnabas paid a visit to Tarsus to try to find Saul.
Pamande u Barnaba ahasogola ahabhala hu Tarso humwenye u Sauli.
26 He succeeded, and brought him to Antioch; and for a whole year they attended the meetings of the Church, and taught a large number of people. And it was in Antioch that the disciples first received the name of 'Christians.'
Nawa mwaga bhabhala bhonti hu Antiokia, bhakhala umwaha gumo bhahamanyizya abhantu bhabhinji na abhanafunzi bhahitwa bha Kilisti ulwahwande hula hu Antiokia.
27 At that time certain Prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch,
Ensiku ezyo bhahishile akuwe afume hu Yerusalemu paka hu Antiokia.
28 one of whom, named Agabus, being instructed by the Spirit, publicly predicted the speedy coming of a great famine throughout the world. (It came in the reign of Claudius.)
Umo ali yu Agabo uyo abhuulilwe(asenshiye) huje enzala engosi ebhalagwe ensi yonti. Enzala iyo ihagwiye na tabhalile u Klaudio.
29 So the disciples decided to send relief, every one in proportion to his means, to the brethren living in Judaea.
Abhanafunzi bhahasanguzanya shila muntu hapiite bhabhatwalila abhamwabho bhabhali hu Uyahudi.
30 This they did, forwarding their contributions to the Elders by Barnabas and Saul.
Ihela izyo; bhabhapelile a Barnaba nu Paulo huje bhatwale.
