Acts 13
1 And profetis and doctouris weren in the chirche that was at Antioche, in which Barnabas, and Symount, that was clepid Blac, and Lucius Cironense, and Manaen, that was the soukynge fere of Eroude tetrarke, and Saul weren.
Katika kanisa la Antiokia kulikuwa na watu wengine waliokuwa manabii na walimu; miongoni mwao akiwa Barnaba, Simoni aitwaye pia Mweusi, Lukio wa Kurene, Manaeni ambaye alikuwa amelelewa pamoja na mfalme Herode, na Saulo.
2 And whanne thei mynystriden to the Lord, and fastiden, the Hooli Goost seide to hem, Departe ye to me Saul and Barnabas, in to the werk to which Y haue takun hem.
Walipokuwa wanafanya ibada yao kwa Bwana na kufunga, Roho Mtakatifu alisema: “Niteulieni Barnaba na Saulo kwa ajili ya kazi niliyowaitia.”
3 Thanne thei fastiden, and preieden, and leiden hondis on hem, and leten hem go.
Basi, baada ya kusali na kufunga zaidi, wakawawekea mikono, wakawaacha waende zao.
4 But thei weren sent of the Hooli Goost, and wenten forth to Seleucia, and fro thennus thei wenten bi boot to Cipre.
Basi, Barnaba na Saulo walipokwisha tumwa na Roho Mtakatifu, walishuka hadi Seleukia, na kutoka huko walipanda meli hadi kisiwa cha Kupro.
5 And whanne thei camen to Salamyne, thei prechiden the word of God in the synagogis of Jewis; and thei hadden also Joon in mynystrie.
Walipofika Salami walihubiri neno la Mungu katika masunagogi ya Kiyahudi. Yohane (Marko) alikuwa msaidizi wao.
6 And whanne thei hadden walkid bi al the ile to Pafum, thei founden a man, a witche, a false profete, a Jewe, to whom the name was Bariesu,
Walitembea toka upande mmoja wa kisiwa mpaka Pafo upande wa pili, na huko walimkuta mchawi mmoja Myahudi aitwaye Baryesu ambaye alijisingizia kuwa nabii.
7 that was with the proconsul Sergius Paule, a prudent man. This clepide Barnabas and Poul, and desiride to here the word of God.
Huyu alikuwa pamoja na Sergio Paulo, mkuu wa kile kisiwa, ambaye alikuwa mtu mwelewa sana. Sergio Paulo aliwaita Barnaba na Saulo ili asikie neno la Mungu.
8 But Elymas witche withstoode hem; for his name is expowned so; and he souyte to turne awei the proconsul fro bileue.
Lakini huyo mchawi Elima (kama alivyokuwa anaitwa kwa Kigiriki), alijaribu kuwapinga ili kumzuia huyo mkuu wa kisiwa asije akaigeukia imani ya Kikristo.
9 But Saul, which is seid also Paul, was fillid with the Hooli Goost, and bihelde in to hym, and seide, A!
Basi, Saulo ambaye aliitwa pia Paulo, akiwa amejaa Roho Mtakatifu, alimkodolea macho huyo mchawi,
10 thou ful of al gile, and al falsnesse, thou sone of the deuel, thou enemye of al riytwisnesse, thou leeuest not to turne vpsodoun the riytful weies of the Lord.
akasema, “Mdanganyifu wa kupindukia na mlaghai wewe! Wewe ni mtoto wa Ibilisi! Wewe ni adui wa chochote kile kilicho cha kweli; hukomi hata mara moja kujaribu kuzipotosha njia za Bwana zilizonyoka.
11 And now lo! the hoond of the Lord is on thee, and thou schalt be blynde, and not seynge the sunne in to a tyme. And anoon myste and derknesse felden doun on hym; and he yede aboute, and souyte hym that schulde yyue hoond to hym.
Sasa, mkono wa Bwana utakuadhibu: utakuwa kipofu na hutaweza kuuona mwanga wa jua kwa kitambo.” Mara kila kitu kikawa kama ukungu na giza kwake, akaanza kwenda huku na huku akitafuta mtu wa kumshika mkono amwongoze.
12 Thanne the proconsul, whanne he hadde seyn the dede, bileuede, wondringe on the techyng of the Lord.
Yule mkuu wa kisiwa alipoona hayo, aliongoka akawa muumini; akastaajabia sana mafundisho aliyosikia juu ya Bwana.
13 And whanne fro Pafum Poul hadde go bi a boot, and thei that weren with hym, thei camen to Pergen of Pamfilie; but Joon departide fro hem, and turnede ayen to Jerusalem.
Kutoka Pafo, Paulo na wenzake walipanda meli wakaenda hadi Perga katika Pamfulia; lakini Yohane (Marko) aliwaacha, akarudi Yerusalemu.
14 And thei yeden to Pergen, and camen to Antioche of Persidie; and thei entriden in to the synagoge in the dai of sabatis, and saten.
Lakini wao waliendelea na safari toka Pisga hadi mjini Antiokia Pisidia. Siku ya Sabato waliingia ndani ya Sunagogi, wakakaa.
15 And after the redyng of the lawe and of the prophetis, the princis of the synagoge senten to hem, and seiden, Britheren, if ony word of exortacioun to the puple is in you, seie ye.
Baada ya masomo katika kitabu cha Sheria ya Mose na katika maandiko ya manabii, wakuu wa lile sunagogi waliwapelekea ujumbe huu: “Ndugu, kama mnalo jambo la kuwaambia watu ili kuwapa moyo, semeni.”
16 And Poul roos, and with hoond baad silence, and seide, Men of Israel, and ye that dreden God, here ye.
Basi, Paulo alisimama, akatoa ishara kwa mkono, akaanza kuongea: “Wananchi wa Israeli na wengine wote mnaomcha Mungu, sikilizeni!
17 God of the puple of Israel chees oure fadris, and enhaunside the puple, whanne thei weren comelingis in the loond of Egipt, and in an hiy arme he ledde hem out of it;
Mungu wa taifa hili la Israeli aliwateua babu zetu na kuwafanya wawe taifa kubwa walipokuwa ugenini kule Misri. Mungu aliwatoa huko kwa uwezo wake mkuu.
18 and bi the tyme of fourti yeeris he suffride her maneres in desert.
Aliwavumilia kwa muda wa miaka arobaini kule jangwani.
19 And he destriede seuene folkis in the loond of Canaan, and bi sort departide to hem her lond,
Aliyaangamiza mataifa ya nchi ya Kanaani akawapa hao watu wake ile nchi kuwa mali yao.
20 as aftir foure hundrid and fifti yeeris. And aftir these thingis he yaf domesmen, to Samuel, the profete.
Miaka mia nne na hamsini ilipita, halafu akawapatia waamuzi wawaongoze mpaka wakati wa nabii Samweli.
21 And fro that tyme thei axiden a kyng, and God yaf to hem Saul, the sone of Cis, a man of the lynage of Beniamyn, bi fourti yeeris.
Hapo wakapendelea kuwa na mfalme, na Mungu akawapa Saulo, mtoto wa Kishi wa kabila la Benyamini, awe mfalme wao kwa muda wa miaka arobaini.
22 And whanne he was don awei, he reiside to hem Dauid king, to whom he bar witnessing, and seide, Y haue foundun Dauid, the sone of Jesse, a man aftir myn herte, which schal do alle my willis.
Baada ya kumwondoa Saulo, Mungu alimteua Daudi kuwa mfalme wao. Mungu alionyesha kibali chake kwake akisema: Nimemwona Daudi mtoto wa Yese; ni mtu anayepatana na moyo wangu; mtu ambaye atatimiza yale yote ninayotaka kuyatenda.
23 Of whos seed bi the biheest God hath led out to Israel a sauyoure Jhesu,
Kutokana na ukoo wake mtu huyu, Mungu, kama alivyoahidi, amewapelekea watu wa Israeli Mwokozi, ndiye Yesu.
24 whanne Joon prechide bifor the face of his comyng the baptym of penaunce to al the puple of Israel.
Kabla ya kuja kwake Yesu, Yohane alimtangulia akiwahubiria watu wote wa Israeli kwamba ni lazima watubu na kubatizwa.
25 But whanne Joon fillide his cours, he seide, Y am not he, whom ye demen me to be; but lo! he cometh aftir me, and Y am not worthi to doon of the schoon of hise feet.
Yohane alipokuwa anamaliza ujumbe wake aliwaambia watu: Mnadhani mimi ni nani? Mimi si yule mnayemtazamia. Huyo anakuja baada yangu na mimi sistahili hata kuzifungua kamba za viatu vyake.
26 Britheren, and sones of the kynde of Abraham, and whiche that in you dreden God, to you the word of helthe is sent.
“Ndugu, ninyi mlio watoto wa ukoo wa Abrahamu, na wengine wote mnaomcha Mungu! Ujumbe huu wa wokovu umeletwa kwetu.
27 For thei that dwelliden at Jerusalem, and princis of it, that knewen not this Jhesu, and the voicis of prophetis, that by euery sabat ben red, demyden, and filliden;
Kwa maana wenyeji wa Yerusalemu na wakuu wao hawakumtambua yeye kuwa Mwokozi. Wala hawakuelewa maneno ya manabii yanayosomwa kila Sabato. Hata hivyo, waliyafanya maneno ya manabii yatimie kwa kumhukumu Yesu adhabu ya kifo.
28 and thei founden in hym no cause of deth, and axiden of Pilat, that thei schulden sle hym.
Ingawa hawakumpata na hatia inayostahili auawe, walimwomba Pilato amhukumu auawe.
29 And whanne thei hadden endid alle thingis that weren writun of hym, thei token hym doun of the tre, and leiden hym in a graue.
Na baada ya kutekeleza yote yaliyokuwa yameandikwa kumhusu yeye, walimshusha kutoka msalabani, wakamweka kaburini.
30 And God reiside hym fro deth in the thridde dai; which was seyn bi mony daies to
Lakini Mungu alimfufua kutoka wafu.
31 hem that wenten vp togidere with hym fro Galilee in to Jerusalem, which ben til now his witnessis to the puple.
Naye, kwa siku nyingi aliwatokea wale waliofuatana naye kutoka Galilaya mpaka Yerusalemu. Hao ndio walio sasa mashahidi wake kwa watu wa Israeli.
32 And we schewen to you the biheest that was maad to oure fadris;
Sisi tumekuja hapa kuwaleteeni Habari Njema: jambo lile Mungu alilowaahidia babu zetu amelitimiza sasa kwa ajili yetu sisi tulio wajukuu wao kwa kumfufua Yesu kutoka wafu.
33 for God hath fulfillid this to her sones, and ayenreisid Jhesu; as in the secounde salm it is writun, Thou art my sone, to dai Y bigat thee.
Kama ilivyoandikwa katika zaburi ya pili: Wewe ni Mwanangu, mimi leo nimekuwa baba yako.
34 And he ayenreiside hym fro deth, that he schulde not turne ayen in to corrupcioun, seide thus, For Y schal yyue to you the hooli trewe thingis of Dauid.
Na juu ya kumfufua kutoka wafu, asipate tena kurudi huko na kuoza, Mungu alisema hivi: Nitakupa baraka takatifu na za kweli nilizomwahidia Daudi.
35 And therfor and on an othere stide he seith, Thou schalt not yyue thin hooli to se corrupcioun.
Naam, na katika sehemu nyingine za zaburi asema: Hutamwacha Mtakatifu wako aoze.
36 But Dauid in his generacioun, whanne he hadde mynstrid to the wille of God, diede, and was leid with hise fadris, and say corrupcioun;
Sasa, Daudi mwenyewe alitimiza mapenzi ya Mungu wakati wake; kisha akafa na kuzikwa karibu na wazee wake, na mwili wake ukaoza.
37 but he whom God reiside fro deth, say not corrupcioun.
Lakini yule ambaye Mungu alimfufua kutoka wafu hakupata kuoza.
38 Therfor, britheren, be it knowun to you, that bi hym remyssioun of synnes is teld to you, fro alle synnes, of whiche ye myyten not be iustified in the lawe of Moises.
Jueni wazi, ndugu zangu, kwamba ujumbe kuhusu kusamehewa dhambi unahubiriwa kwenu kwa njia ya Yesu Kristo;
39 In this ech man that bileueth, is iustified.
na ya kwamba kila mmoja anayemwamini Yesu anasamehewa dhambi zote, jambo ambalo halingewezekana kwa njia ya Sheria ya Mose.
40 Therfor se ye, that it come not to you, that is biforeseid in the profetis,
Jihadharini basi, msije mkapatwa na yale yaliyosemwa na manabii:
41 Ye dispiseris, se ye, and wondre ye, and be ye scaterid abrood; for Y worche a werk in youre daies, a werk that ye schulen not bileue, if ony man schal telle it to you.
Sikilizeni enyi wenye madharau, shangaeni mpotee! Kwa maana kitu ninachofanya sasa, nyakati zenu, ni kitu ambacho hamtakiamini hata kama mtu akiwaelezeni.”
42 And whanne thei yeden out, thei preieden, that in the sabat suynge thei schulden speke to hem these wordis.
Paulo na Barnaba walipokuwa wanatoka katika ile sunagogi, wale watu waliwaalika waje tena siku ya Sabato iliyofuata, waongee zaidi juu ya mambo hayo.
43 And whanne the synagoge was left, manye of Jewis and of comelingis worschypynge God supeden Poul and Barnabas; that spaken, and counseliden hem, that thei schulden dwelle in the grace of God.
Mkutano huo ulipomalizika, Wayahudi wengi na watu wa mataifa mengine waliokuwa wameongokea dini ya Kiyahudi waliwafuata Paulo na Barnaba. Hao mitume waliongea nao, wakawatia moyo waendelee kuishi wakitegemea neema ya Mungu.
44 And in the sabat suynge almest al the citee cam togidir, to here the word of God.
Siku ya Sabato iliyofuata, karibu kila mtu katika ule mji alikuja kusikiliza neno la Bwana.
45 And Jewis sien the puple, and weren fillid with enuye, and ayenseiden these thingis that weren seyd of Poul, and blasfemyden.
Lakini Wayahudi walipoliona hilo kundi la watu walijaa wivu, wakapinga alichokuwa anasema Paulo na kumtukana.
46 Thanne Poul and Barnabas stidfastli seiden, To you it bihofte first to speke the word of God; but for ye putten it awei, and han demyd you vnworthi to euerlastinge lijf, lo! we turnen to hethen men. (aiōnios g166)
Hata hivyo, Paulo na Barnaba waliongea kwa uhodari zaidi, wakasema, “Ilikuwa ni lazima neno la Mungu liwafikieni ninyi kwanza; lakini kwa kuwa mmelikataa na kujiona hamstahili uzima wa milele, basi, tunawaacheni na kuwaendea watu wa mataifa mengine. (aiōnios g166)
47 For so the Lord comaundide vs, Y haue set thee in to liyt to hethen men, that thou be in to helthe to the vtmest of erthe.
Maana Bwana alituagiza hivi: Nimekuteua wewe uwe mwanga kwa mataifa, uwe njia ya wokovu kwa ulimwengu wote.”
48 And hethen men herden, `and ioieden, and glorifieden the word of the Lord; and bileueden, as manye as weren bifore ordeyned to euerlastinge lijf. (aiōnios g166)
Watu wa mataifa mengine waliposikia jambo hilo walifurahi, wakausifu ujumbe wa Mungu; na wale waliokuwa wamechaguliwa kupata uzima wa milele, wakawa waumini. (aiōnios g166)
49 And the word of the Lord was sowun bi al the cuntre.
Neno la Bwana likaenea kila mahali katika sehemu ile.
50 But the Jewis stiriden religiouse wymmen, and onest, and the worthiest men of the citee, and stireden persecucioun ayens Poul and Barnabas, and dryuen hem out of her cuntreis.
Lakini Wayahudi waliwachochea wanawake wa tabaka ya juu wa mataifa mengine ambao walikuwa wacha Mungu, na wanaume maarufu wa mji huo. Wakaanza kuwatesa Paulo na Barnaba, wakawafukuza kutoka katika eneo lao.
51 And thei schoken awei in to hem the duste of her feet, and camen to Yconye.
Basi, mitume wakayakung'uta mavumbi yaliyokuwa katika miguu yao kama onyo, kisha wakaenda Ikonio.
52 And the disciplis weren fillid with ioye and the Hooli Goost.
Lakini hao wafuasi walikuwa wamejaa furaha na Roho Mtakatifu.
