< Acts 14 >

1 At Iconium the Apostles went together to the Jewish synagogue and preached, with the result that a great number both of Jews and Greeks believed.
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 the Jews who had refused obedience stirred up the Gentiles and embittered their minds against the brethren.
Lakini Bhayahudi bhabhalii bhabhachochili luhala bhamataifa ni kubhabhomba khujha bhbhibhi dhidi jha ndongo.
3 Yet Paul and Barnabas remained there for a considerable time, speaking freely and relying on the Lord, while He bore witness to the Message of His grace by permitting signs and marvels to be done by them.
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 At length the people of the city split into parties, some siding with the Jews and some with the Apostles.
Lakini lieneo libhaha lya mji lyagabhwanyiki baadhi jha bhanu bhajhele pamonga ni Bhayahudi ni baadhi pamonga ni mitume.
5 And when a hostile movement was made by both Gentiles and Jews, with the sanction of their magistrates, to maltreat and stone them,
Bwakati bhamataifa ni Bhayahudi bhobhajaribu kubhashawishi bhalongosi bha bhene kubhabhombela vibaya ni kubhaponda ni maganga Paulo ni Barnaba,
6 the Apostles, having become aware of it, made their escape into the Lycaonian towns of Lystra and Derbe, and the neighbouring country.
Bhakalimanya e'lu ni kujumbila mu miji ghya Likonia, Listra ni Derbe, ni maeneo ghaghisyongo'ka pala,
7 And there they continued to tell the Good News.
ni okhu bhahubiri injili.
8 Now a man who had no power in his feet used to sit in the streets of Lystra. He had been lame from his birth and had never walked.
Ni okhu Listra pajhele ni munu mmonga jhaatameghe, ajhelepi ni ngofu mumagolo gha muene, kilema kuhomela mu lileme lya nyinamunu, abhwayilepi kugenda.
9 After this man had listened to one of Paul's sermons, the Apostle, looking steadily at him and perceiving that he had faith to be cured,
Munu ojho ampeliki Paulo ilongela. Paulo ankazili mihu ni kubhona ajhele ni imani jha kunyesibhwa.
10 said in a loud voice, "Stand upright upon your feet!"
Hivyo ajobhili kwa muene kwa sauti mbaha, “Jhemayi kwa magolo gha jhobhi” Ni munu jhola aniki kunani ni kuyanda kugenda.
11 So he sprang up and began to walk about. Then the crowds, seeing what Paul had done, rent the air with their shouts in the Lycaonian language, saying, "The gods have assumed human form and have come down to 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 called Barnabas 'Zeus,' and Paul, as being the principal speaker, 'Hermes.'
Bhan'kutili Barnaba “Zeu,” ni Paulo “Herme.” Kwa ndabha ajhele msemaji mbaha.
13 And the priest of Zeus--the temple of Zeus being at the entrance to the city--brought bullocks and garlands to the gates, and in company with the crowd was intending to offer sacrifices to them.
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 the Apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it; and tearing their clothes they rushed out into the middle of the crowd, exclaiming, "Sirs, why are you doing all this?
Lakini mitume, Barnaba ni Paulo, bho bhalipeliki e'le, bharaneili maguanda gha bhene manyata bhakalota kubhala ku umati bhilela.
15 We also are but men, with natures kindred to your own; and we bring you the Good News that you are to turn from these unreal things, to worship the ever-living God, the Creator of earth and sky and sea and of everything that is in them.
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 times gone by He allowed all the nations to go their own ways;
Mu nyakati sya silotili, abharuhuisi mataifa kugenda mu njela sya bhene.
17 and yet by His beneficence He has not left His existence unattested--His beneficence, I mean, in sending you rain from Heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and joyfulness."
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 Even with words like these they had difficulty in preventing the thronging crowd from offering sacrifices to them.
Hata kwa malobhi agha Paulo ni Barnaba kwa shida bhakauzuila umati kubhasopela sadaka.
19 But now a party of Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and, having won over the crowd, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the town, believing him to be dead.
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 When, however, the disciples had collected round him, he rose and went back into the town. The next day he went with Barnabas to Derbe;
Hata naha bhanafunzi bhajhele bhajhemili karibu nabhu ajhu muiki, bhakajhingila ku nyini. Ligono lya pili, alotili Derbe ni Barnaba.
21 and, after proclaiming the Good News to the people there and gaining a large number of converts, they retraced their steps to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch.
Baada jha kumanyisya injili mu mjibhola ni kubhabhomba bhanafunzi bhamehele bhakerebhuiki Listra, hadi Ikoniamu, ni hadi Antiookia.
22 Everywhere they strengthened the disciples by encouraging them to hold fast to the faith, and warned them saying, "It is through many afflictions that we must make our way into the Kingdom of God."
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 And in every Church, after prayer and fasting, they selected Elders by show of hands, and commended them to the Lord on whom their faith rested.
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 Then passing through Pisidia they came into Pamphylia;
Kisha bhapelili kupisidia, bhafikili pamfilia.
25 and after telling the Message at Perga they came down to Attaleia.
Bhwakati bhalongili malobhi perga, bhaselili kulota Atalia.
26 Thence they sailed to Antioch, where they had previously been commended to the grace of God in connexion with the work which 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 Upon their arrival they called the Church together and proceeded to report in detail all that God, working with them, had done, and how He had opened for the Gentiles the door of faith.
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 And they remained a considerable time in Antioch with the disciples.
Bhatamili kwa muda mrefu ni bhanafunzi
