Acts 13
1 Now there were in Antioch, in the Church there--as Prophets and teachers--barnabas, Symeon surnamed 'the black,' Lucius the Cyrenaean, Manaen (who was Herod the Tetrarch's foster-brother), and Saul.
Henu mu kanisa lya Antiokia pajhele n baadhi jha manabii ni bhalimu. Bhajhele Barnaba, Simeoni (jhaakutisbhu Nigeri). Lukio wa Kirene, Manaeni (Ndongo jha abeli kujha ghwa damu ghwa Herode kiongozi ghwa mkoa), ni Sauli.
2 While they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for Me, now at once, Barnabas and Saul, for the work to which I have called them."
Bho bhakamwabudu Bwana ni kufunga, Roho mtakatifu ajobhili, “Munitengelayi palubhafu Barnba ni Sauli bhaibhombayi mbombo jha nibhakutili.”
3 So, after fasting and prayer and the laying on of hands, they let them go.
Baada jha kanisa kufunga, kus'oka, ni kubheka mabhoko gha bhene panani pa bhanu abha bhakabhaleka bhalotayi.
4 They therefore, being thus sent out by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleuceia, and from there sailed to Cyprus.
Kwa hiyo Barnabasi ni Sauli bhantiijhi Roho mtakatifu na bhaselili kulota seleukia; kuhomela okhu bhasafiri mu bahari kulotela kisiwa kya Kipro.
5 Having reached Salamis, they began to announce God's Message in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John as their assistant.
Bho bhajhe mu mji ghwa Salami, bhalitangasili lilobhi lya K'yara mu masinagogi gha bhayahudi. Pia bhajhele pamonga ni Yohana Marko kama msaidizi ghwa bhene.
6 When they had gone through the whole length of the island as far as Paphos, they there met with a Jewish magician and false prophet, Bar-Jesus by name,
Bho bhalolili katika kisiwa kyoha mpaka Pafo, bhan'kolili munufulani mmabhi Myahudi nabii ghwa bhudesi ambajhe lihina lya muene lyajhele Bar Yesu.
7 who was a friend of the Proconsul Sergius Paulus. The Proconsul was a man of keen intelligence. He sent for Barnabas and Saul, and asked to be told God's Message.
Mmabhi ojho ashirikiene ni liwali Sergio Paulus, jha ajhele munu mwenye luhala. Munu ojho abhaaliki Barnaba ni Sauli kwandabha alondeghe kupeleka lilobhi lya K'yara.
8 But Elymas (or 'the Magician,' for such is the meaning of the name) opposed them, and tried to prevent the Proconsul from accepting the faith.
Lakini Elima “mmabhi jhola” (Naha ndo lihina lya muene kya lyatafsiribhu) abhapingili; ajaribu kugeusya liwali jhola abhoka mu imani.
9 Then Saul, who is also called Paul, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and, fixing his eyes on Elymas,
Lakini Sauli jha akutibhweghe Paulo, ajhele amemesibhu Roho mtakatifu, akan'kazila mihu
10 said, "You who are full of every kind of craftiness and unscrupulous cunning--you son of the Devil and foe to all that is right--will you never cease to misrepresent the straight paths of the Lord?
ni kujobha, “Ewe muana ghwa ibilisi umemesibhu ni aina syoha sya udesi ni udhaifu. Bhebhe ndo adui ghwa kila aina jha haki. Wibetalepi kuleka kusigeusya nj'ela sya Bwana, syasinyeokili je, wibeta kubhwenya?
11 The Lord's hand is now upon you, and you will be blind for a time and unable to see the light of day." Instantly there fell upon him a mist and a darkness, and, as he walked about, he begged people to lead him by the hand.
Henu langayi, kibhoko kya Bwana kijhe panani pa jhobhi, na wibeta kujha kipofu. Wibetalepi kulibhona lijobha kwa muda “Mara jhejhuejhu ukungu ni ngisi fyabinili panani pa Elimasi; akajhanda kusyngoka pala kus'oka bhanu bhandongo syajhi kwa kun'kamula kibhoko.
12 Then the Proconsul, seeing what had happened, believed, being struck with amazement at the teaching of the Lord.
Baada jha liwali kubhona kya kitokili akyelili kwandabha asyangesibhu kwa mafundisu kuhusu Bwana.
13 From Paphos, Paul and his party put out to sea and sailed to Perga in Pamphylia. John, however, left them and returned to Jerusalem.
Henu Paulo ni rafiki bha muene bhasafiri mjini kuhoma Pafo na bhafikiri Perge mu Pamfilia. Lakini Yohana akabhaleka ni kukerebhuka Yerusalemu.
14 But they themselves, passing through from Perga, came to Antioch in Pisidia. Here, on the Sabbath day, they went into the synagogue and sat down.
Paulo ni rafiki yake bhasafiri kuhoma Perge na bhafikili Antiokia jha Pisidia. Okhu bhalotili mu sinagogi ligono lya sabato ni kutama pasi.
15 After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the Wardens of the synagogue sent word to them. "Brethren," they said, "if you have anything encouraging to say to the people, speak."
Baada jha kusoma sheria ni manabii bhalongosi bha sinagogi abhakalaghisili ujumbe bhakajobha, “Ndongo, kama mujhe ni ujumbe bhwa kupela muoyo bhanu apa, mujobhayi”
16 So Paul rose, and motioning with his hand for silence, said, "Israelites, and you others who fear God, pay attention to me.
Kwa hiyo Paulo akajhema ni kubhapungila kibhoko; akajobha, “Bhagosi bha Israeli ni mwamukan'tii K'yara, mupelekisiajhi.
17 The God of this people of Israel chose our forefathers, and made the people great during their stay in Egypt, until with wondrous power He brought them out from that land.
K'yara ghwa abha bhanu bha Israeli abhachaguili bha dadijhitu ni kubhabhomba bhanu bhamehele bho bhitama mu nchi jha Misri na kwa kibhoko kya muene kujhinulibhwa abhalonguisi kwibhala kwa muene.
18 For a period of about forty years, He fed them, like a nurse, in the Desert.
Kwa miaka arobaini abhavumilili pa jangwa.
19 Then, after overthrowing seven nations in the land of Canaan, He divided that country among them as their inheritance for about four hundred and fifty years;
Baada jha kughaharibu mataifa saba pa nchi jha kaanani, abhapelili bhanu bha tete nchi jha bhene kwa urithi.
20 and afterwards He gave them judges down to the time of the Prophet Samuel.
Matukio agha ghoha ghatokili zaidi jha miaka mia nne na hamsini. Baada jha fenu efe fyoka, K'yara abhapelili bhaamuzi mpaka Samweli Nabii.
21 Next they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a Benjamite, who reigned forty years.
Baada jha agha, bhanu bhasokili mfalme, hiyo K'yara abhapelili Sauli mwana ghwa Kishi munu ghwa kabila lya Benjamini, kujha mfalme ghwa miaka arobaini.
22 After removing him, He raised up David to be their king, to whom He also bore witness when He said, "'I have found David the son of Jesse, a man I love, who will obey all My commands.'
Kisha baada jhe K'yara kumbosya mu ufalme an'jinuili Daydi kujha mfalme ghwa bhene. Jhajhele kuhusu Daudi kwamba K'yara ajobhili, 'Nin'kabhili Daudi mwana ghwa Yese kujha munu jha aganikibhu ni muoyo bhwa nene; ambaye ibeta kubhomba khila khenu kyanilonda.
23 "It is from among David's descendants that God, in fulfilment of His promise, has raised up a Saviour for Israel, even Jesus.
Kuhomela mu lukholo lwa munu ojho K'yara ajhiletili Israeli mkombozi Yesu, kama kya ahidi kubhomba.
24 Before the coming of Jesus, John had proclaimed to all the people of Israel a baptism of repentance.
Ele lyabhwajhili kuhomele, kabla jha Yesu kuhida Yohana kwanza atangasili ubatisu bhwa toba kwa bhanu bhoha bha Israeli.
25 But John, towards the end of his career, repeatedly asked the people, "'What do you suppose me to be? I am not the Christ. But there is One coming after me whose sandal I am not worthy to unfasten.'
Nu muene Yohana bho imalisila mbombo jha muene, ajobhili, 'Mwifikiri nene ne niani? Nene ne jhola lepi. Lakini map'elekesiajhi jhaibe takuhida kumbele jha nene, nilondekalepi kuhobhosya filatu fya muene mu magolo.
26 "Brethren, descendants of the family of Abraham, and all among you who fear God, to us has this Message of salvation been sent.
Ndongo bhana bha lukholo lwa Abrahamu, ni bhala ambabho kati jha muenga mukamwabudu K'yara, kwandabha jha tete kwamba ujumbe obho bhwa ukombozi ulaghisibhu.
27 For the people of Jerusalem and their rulers, by the judgement they pronounced on Jesus, have actually fulfilled the predictions of the Prophets which are read Sabbath after Sabbath, through ignorance of those predictions and of Him.
Kwa bhala bhabhitama Yerusalemu, ni bhatawala bha bhene bhan'tambuili lep kwa bhuhalisia, na bhwala bhan'tambuili lepi ujumbe bhwa manabii kwa kun'hukumu kifo Yesu.
28 Without having found Him guilty of any capital offence they urged Pilate to have Him put to death;
Japokuwa bhakabhilepi sababu jhinofu jha kifo mugati mwa muene bhakan'soka Pilato an'komayi.
29 and when they had carried out everything which had been written about Him, they took Him down from the cross and laid Him in a tomb.
Bho bhamalili mamboghohe ghaghalembibhu kuhusu muene, bhakan'selesya mu libehe ni kungoneka mu likaburi.
30 "But God raised Him from the dead.
Lakini K'yara amfufuili kuhoma kwa bhafu.
31 And, after a few days, He appeared to the people who had gone up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem and are now witnesses concerning Him to the Jews.
Abhonekana kwa magono ghamehele kwa bhala bhabhalotili pamonga ni muene kuhoma Galilaya kulotela Yerusalemu. Bhanu abha henu ndo mashahidi bhabhanu.
32 And we bring you the Good News about the promise made to our forefathers,
Hivyo tukabhaletela habari jhinofu kuhusu ahadi sya bhapelibhu bhakhokho bhitu.
33 that God has amply fulfilled it to our children in raising up Jesus; as it is also written in the second Psalm, 'Thou art My Son: to-day I have become Thy Father.'
K'yara abhakili ahadi e'se kwa tete, bhana bhabhi, kwa e'lu amfufuili Yessu ni kun'kerebhusya kabhele mu uhai. E'le kabhele lyalembibhu mu Zaburi, jha pili; Bhebhe ghwe mwanabhangu lelu njele ne Dadijhu.
34 And as to His having raised Him from among the dead, never again to be in the position of one soon to return to decay, He speaks thus: 'I will give you the holy and trustworthy promises made to David.'
Kabhele kuhusu bhukweli ni kwamba amfufuili kuhomela kwa bhafu ili kwamba mb'ele ghwa muene usiharibiki, alongili naha. Nibeta kup'ela utakatifu ni baraka halisi sya Daudi.
35 Because in another Psalm also He says, 'Thou wilt not give up Thy Holy One to undergo decay.'
Ejhe ndo sababu jha kujobha kabhele mu Zaburi jh'enge, ghwibetalepi ni husu mtakatifu ghwa jhobhi kubhubhona uozo.'
36 For David, after having been useful to his own generation in accordance with God's purpose, did fall asleep, was gathered to his forefathers, and did undergo decay.
Kwa kujha baada jha Daudi kutumikila mapenzi gha K'yara pa kizazi kya muene, agonili agonesibhu pamonga ni bha dsdi jhabhi, na abhubhwene uharibifu,
37 But He whom God raised to life underwent no decay.
Lakini jhaafufulibh ni K'yara aubhwelepi uharibifu.
38 "Understand therefore, brethren, that through this Jesus forgiveness of sins is announced to you;
Efyo na imanyikanayi kwa muenga, ndongo, kup'etela munu ojho, n'samaha ghwa dhambi uhubiribhu.
39 and in Him every believer is absolved from all offences, from which you could not be absolved under the Law of Moses.
Kwa muene khila jhaiamini ibhalangibhwa haki kwa mambo ghoha ambagho sheria jha Musa ngajhibhepelilepi haki.
40 Beware, then, lest what is spoken in the Prophets should come true of you:
Hivyo basi mujhelayi bhaangalifu kwamba khenu kya bhakilongelili manabii kisihomeli kwa jhomu:
41 'Behold, you despisers, be astonished and perish, because I am carrying on a work in your time--a work which you will utterly refuse to believe, though it be fully declared to you.'"
Langayi, enyi bha mwidharau, na mkasya nngalayi ni kujhangamila; kwa vile nibhomba mbombo ambayo mwibhwesya lepi kujhikiera, hata kama munu ibetakubhajhelesya.
42 As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people earnestly begged to have all this repeated to them on the following Sabbath.
Bwakati Paulo ni Barnaba bho bhabhokili, bhanu bhakabhas'oka bhelongelayi malobhi agha ligono lya sabato ijayo.
43 And, when the congregation had broken up, many of the Jews and of the devout converts from heathenism continued with Paul and Barnabas, who talked to them and urged them to hold fast to the grace of God.
Bwakati mkutano wa sinagogi bho bhumaliki Bhayahudi bhingi ni bhaongofu thabiti bhabhakesisi Paulo ni Barnaba, ambabho bhalongili nabhu na bhabhahimizi bhajhendelelayi mu neema jha K'yara.
44 On the next Sabbath almost the whole population of the city came together to hear the Lord's Message.
Sabato jhajhafwatili karibu mji bhuoha bhwabhonganiki kupeleka litobhi lya K'yara.
45 Seeing the crowds, the Jews, filled with angry jealousy, opposed Paul's statements and abused him.
Bhayahudi bho bhabhuene makutano, bhajhe ni bhwifu ni kulongela malobhi ghaghapingili fenu fyafijobhibhu ni Paulo na bhindighili.
46 Then, throwing off all reserve, Paul and Barnabas said, "We were bound to proclaim God's Message to you first. But since you spurn it and judge yourselves to be unworthy of the Life of the Ages--well, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
Lakini Paulo ni Barnaba bhalongili kwa ujasiri ni kujobha, “Jhajhemuhimu kwamba lilobhi lya K'yara lilongelibhwayi kwanza henu. Kwa kujha mkalisukumila patali kuhomela kwa muenga ni kwibhona kujha mkastahililepi uzima bhwa milele mulangayi twibeta kubhageukila mataifa. (aiōnios g166)
47 For such is the Lord's command to us. "'I have placed Thee,' He says of Christ, 'as a light to the Gentiles, in order that Thou mayest be a Saviour as far as the remotest parts of the earth.'"
Kama vile Bwana kya atuamuamuili, akajobha, Nibhabhekili muenga kama nuru kwa bhanu bha mataifa, kwamba mletayi wokovu kwa pande syoha sya dunia.”
48 The Gentiles listened with delight and extolled the Lord's Message; and all who were pre-destined to the Life of the Ages believed. (aiōnios g166)
Mataifa bho bhap'eliki e'le, bhahobhelili ni kulisifila lilobhi lya Bwana. Bhingi bha bhasalibhu kwa uzima bhwa milele bhakyeriri. (aiōnios g166)
49 So the Lord's Message spread through the whole district.
Lilobhi lya Bwana lyaenili nchi jhioha.
50 But the Jews influenced the gentlewomen of rank who worshipped with them, and also the leading men in the city, and stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas and drove them out of the district.
Lakini Bhayahudi bhabhasokili bhabhakihomisi ni bhadala muhimu, kabhele ni bhalongosi bha mji. Agha ghachochili malombosi dhidi jha Paulo ni Barnaba na bhabhataghili kwibhala kumipaka ghya mji.
51 But they shook off the dust from their feet as a protest against them and came to Iconium;
Lakini ni Paulo ni Barnaba bhakung'utili lifu mafumbi lya magolo gha bhene. Kisha bhalotili mu mji bhwa Ikonia.
52 and as for the disciples, they were more and more filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
Ni bhanafunzi bhamemili ni furaha pamonga ni Roho mtakatifu.
