Acts 15
1 Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you can’t be saved.”
Bandu fulani batiuluka boka Uyahudi na kuwafundisha alongo, babaya, “mana mwatairiwa kwaa kati destruri ya Musa, mwaweza kwa lopolelwa.”
2 Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul, Barnabas, and some others of them to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
Muda Paulo na Barnaba babile na mapambano na mjadala pamope nao, alongo batiamua panga Paulo, Barnaba, na benge kadhaa bayende Yerusalem kwa mitume na apindo kwa ajili ya swali lee.
3 They, being sent on their way by the assembly, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles. They caused great joy to all the brothers.
Kwa eyo kutumwa kwao na likanisa, bapetya Foinike na Samaria batitangaza kukerebukya nia kwa mataifa. Baletike puraha kolo kwa alongo bote,
4 When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly and the apostles and the elders, and they reported everything that God had done with them.
Baisile Yerusale, batikaribishwa na likanisa na mitume na apindo, na batiwasilisha taarifa ya makowe gote ambayo Nnongo apangite pamope na bembe.
5 But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.”
Lakini bandu fulani batiaminia, babile katika likundi lya Mafarisayo, bayemite nobaya, “ni muhimu kubatahiri na kubaamuru baikamwe sheria ya Musa.”
6 The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
Nga nyo mitume na apindo bayemi pamope kulifikiria swala lee.
7 When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice amongst you that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News and believe.
Baada ya malongelo ago marefu, Petro ayemi na kulongela kwao, “Alongo mutangite panga kitambo kinoite cha peta Nnongo apangite lichagu kati yinu, panga kwa nkano wango Mataifa baliyowe neno lya injili, na aminia.
8 God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.
Nnongo, ywautangite mwoyo, atishuhudia kwabe, abapeya Roho mtakatifu, kati ya apangite kwitu.
9 He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
na atuchengya kwa utofauti kati yitu ni bembe, aipangite mioyo yabe safi kwa imani.
10 Now therefore why do you tempt God, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
Kwa eyo kwa namani mwamjaribu Nnongo panga muibeke nira nnani ya ingo ya banafunzi ambayo hata tate bitu wala twenga twaweza kwa kustamili?
11 But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”
Lakini twaaminiya panga twalowa lopolelwa kwa neema ya Ngwana Yesu, kati ya babile.
12 All the multitude kept silence, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done amongst the nations through them.
Likusanyiko lyote lyatinyamaza pababile bakimsikiliza Barnaba na Paulo pababile bakitoa taarifa ya ishara na maajabu ambayo Nnongo apangite pamope nabo kati ya bandu ba mataifa.
13 After they were silent, James answered, “Brothers, listen to me.
Pabalekite longela, Yakobo kayangwa nobaya, “Alongo munisikilize.
14 Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name.
Simoni atielezea jinsi kwanza Nnongo kwa neema atibasaidia Mataifa ili panga ajipatie boka kwao bandu kwa ajili ya lina lyake.
15 This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
Maneno ga manabii yanakubaliana na lee kati lyaliandikilwe.
16 ‘After these things I will return. I will again build the tabernacle of David, which has fallen. I will again build its ruins. I will set it up
'Baada ya makowe aga nalowa kerebukya na kulichenga kae lihema lya Daudi, lyalitombokya pae; na nalowa kuiinua na kuhuisha uharibifu wake,
17 that the rest of men may seek after the Lord: all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who does all these things.’
ili panga bandu balo batisalia bampale Ngwana, pamope na bandu ba mataifa bakemilwe kwa lina lyango.'
Nga nyo alongela Ngwana ywapangite makowe aga yayowanike tangu enzi ya zamani. (aiōn g165)
19 Therefore my judgement is that we don’t trouble those from amongst the Gentiles who turn to God,
Nga nyoo bai, ushauri wangu ni, panga kana tuwapeye shida bandu ba mataifa bamkerebukia Nnongo;
20 but that we write to them that they abstain from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.
Lakini tuandike kwabe panga bajiepushe mable na uharibu ba sanamu, tamaa za uasherati, na nyongeza, na myai.
21 For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
Boka ibeleki ga apindo babile bandu katika kila mji wahubiria na kumsoma Musa katika masinagogi kila Sabato.”
22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men amongst the brothers.
Kwa eyo itibonekana kuwa yatibapendeza mitume na apindo, pamope na likanisa lyote, kuchawa Yuda ywakemelwa Barsaba na Silas, babile viongozi ba likanisa, na kubatuma Antiokia pamope na Paulo na Barnaba.
23 They wrote these things by their hand: “The apostles, the elders, and the brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.
Batiandika nyoo, “Mitume, apindo na alongo, kwa alongo ba Mataifa babile Antiokia, Shamu na Kilikia, salamu
24 Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, ‘You must be circumcised and keep the law,’ to whom we gave no commandment;
Tuyowine panga bandu fulani ambao batibapatia kwaa amri yee, baboka kwitu na watibataabisha kwa afundisho galetayo shida mu'nafsi yinu.
25 it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Kwa eyo ibonekana vyema kwitu twabote kuchawa bandu na kubatuma kwinu pamope na apendwa witu Barnaba na Paulo,
26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
bandu babile bahatarisha maisha yabe kwa ajili ya lina lya Ngwana Yesu Kristo.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
Kwa eyo twatimtuma Yuda na Sila, balowa kuwabakiya makowe hago ago.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
Kwa kuwa itibonekana vyema kwa Roho Mtakatifu na kwitu, kubeka kwaa nnani yinu mzigo nkolo kuliko makowe aga gabile ya lazima:
29 that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell.”
panga mkerebuke boka mu'ilebe yatitolewa kwa sanamu, myai, ilebe ya kunyonga, na umalaya. Mana mwalowa jibeka kutalu na ayee, ipalika vyema kwinu. Kwa heri.”
30 So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
Nga nyo bai, pabatawanyishwa, batiuluka Antiokia; baada ya kukusanya likusanyiko mpamo, batiwasilisha barua.
31 When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
Pababile baisoma, batipuraika kwa sababu ya kutiwa mwoyo.
32 Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.
Yuda na Sila, na manabii balibatia mwoyo alongo kwa maneno ganyansima na kubapeya ngupu.
33 After they had spent some time there, they were dismissed in peace from the brothers to the apostles.
Baada ta tama kwa muda fulani kolyo, batibatawanyisha kwa amani boka kwa alongo kwa balo babatumile.
(Lakini ibonekana vyema Sila kubaki kolyo)
35 But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
Lakini Paulo na benge batami Antiokia pamope na benge bengi, ambapo batifundisha na kuhubiri neno lya Ngwana.
36 After some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s return now and visit our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”
Baada ya masoba kadhaa Paulo kambakiya Barnaba, “Tukerebukyange nambeambe na kubatembelea alongo katika kila mji twalihubiri neno lya Ngwana, na kuabona babile namani.
37 Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
Barnaba apala kuntola Yohana pamope ni bembe ywakemwa Marko.
38 But Paul didn’t think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and didn’t go with them to do the work.
Lakini Paulo kawaza kuwa inoite kwaa kuntola Marko, ywaalekite Pamfilia na ayendelea nabo kwaa katika kazi.
39 Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,
Pabile na mabishano makolo kwa eyo batitengana, na Barnaba atintola Marko na kusafiri kwa meli mpaka Kipro,
40 but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
Lakini Paulo atimchawa Sila na kuboka, baada ya kukabidhiwa na alongo katika neema ya Ngwana.
41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.
Na atiyenda pitya Shamu na Kilikia, atiimarisha makanisa.
