Acts 11
1 And the apostles and the brethren who are in Judea heard that also the nations did receive the word of God,
Batumwa, ne bonse bashoma Yesu, balikuba mu Yudeya, balanyumfweti naboyo bantu ba mishobo naimbi balatambula maswi a Lesa.
2 and when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of the circumcision were contending with him,
Petulo mpwalabwelela ku Yelusalemu, bantu balikuba bayuminina nta kuciyisho ca kupalula, balatotekeshana nendi.
3 saying — 'Unto men uncircumcised thou didst go in, and didst eat with them!'
Balo balambeti, “Obe walaya kwingila mu ng'anda ya muntu wabula kupalulwa, ne kulya nendi pamo.”
4 And Peter having begun, did expound to them in order saying,
Petulo walatatika kubambila cena bintu byalenshika. Walambeti,
5 'I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw in a trance a vision, a certain vessel coming down, as a great sheet by four corners being let down out of the heaven, and it came unto me;
“Ame ndalikupaila mu munshi wa Yopa. Popelapo mucimbonimboni ndalabona cintu calikwisa panshi kufuma kwilu. Calikuboneketi cikwisa cinene casungwa nkokola shina, calesa mpondalikuba.
6 at which having looked stedfastly, I was considering, and I saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of heaven;
Mpondalalangishisha, ndalabonamo banyama bamucisuwa ne beshikukalaba kayi ne bikeni bishikuluka.
7 and I heard a voice saying to me, Having risen, Peter, slay and eat;
Ndalanyumfwa maswi akung'ambileti, ‘Petulo, punduka, koshina, ulye.’
8 and I said, Not so, Lord; because anything common or unclean hath at no time entered into my mouth;
Nomba ndalambeti, ‘Sobwe, Nkambo! Ame nkanandyapo cintu cabula kuswepa, cishikusesemya kufumina na nililyoni.’
9 and a voice did answer me a second time out of the heaven, What God did cleanse, thou — declare not thou common.
Nomba liswi lyalafuma kwilu lyalamba kayi eti, ‘Bintu mbyalaswepeshe Lesa, obe kotambeti byashilila.’
10 'And this happened thrice, and again was all drawn up to the heaven,
Ici calenshika tunkanda tutatu, panyuma pakendi byonse byalamantwa kayi kuya kwilu.
11 and, lo, immediately, three men stood at the house in which I was, having been sent from Caesarea unto me,
Pacindi copeleco, kung'anda nkondali kwikala, kwalashika bantu batatu, balatumwa kulinjame kufuma ku Kaisaleya.
12 and the Spirit said to me to go with them, nothing doubting, and these six brethren also went with me, and we did enter into the house of the man,
Mushimu Uswepa walang'ambileti, kantakana kuya nabo sobwe. Aba banse basanu ne umo nabo balanshindikila, mpaka twalengila mu ng'anda ya Kolonelyo.
13 he declared also to us how he saw the messenger in his house standing, and saying to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter,
Neye walatwambila mbuli ncalabona mungelo kaliwemana mu ng'anda yakendi, ne kumwambileti, ‘Kotuma bantu ku Yopa benga bakuwe Shimoni, ukute kukwiweti Petulo.
14 who shall speak sayings by which thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.
Nendi nakwambile maswi alupulusho lwakobe, ne bamung'nda yakobe bonse.’
15 'And in my beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit did fall upon them, even as also upon us in the beginning,
Lino mpondalatatika kwamba, Mushimu Uswepa walesa palyendibo, mbuli ncewalesa pali njafwe pasa pakutatika.
16 and I remembered the saying of the Lord, how he said, John indeed did baptize with water, and ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit;
Popelapo ndalanuka maswi asa ngalamba Mwami Yesu akwambeti, ‘Yohane walikubatisha ne menshi, nomba amwe nimukabatishiwe ne Mushimu Uswepa.’
17 if then the equal gift God did give to them as also to us, having believed upon the Lord Jesus Christ, I — how was I able to withstand God?'
Neco na Lesa walabapa cipo cimocimo mbuli ncalatupa afwe mpotwalashoma Mwami Yesu Klistu, ame njame bani kwambeti ndimukanishe Lesa?”
18 And they, having heard these things, were silent, and were glorifying God, saying, 'Then, indeed, also to the nations did God give the reformation to life.'
Mpobalanyumfweco basa balikutotekeshana ne Petulo, balacileka kumutoteka. Balatembaula Lesa ne kwambeti, “Anu ekwambeti Lesa labapa naboyo bantu batamwinshi, colwe cakwambeti bashiye micito yabo yaipa ne kutambula buyumi.”
19 Those, indeed, therefore, having been scattered abroad, from the tribulation that came after Stephen, went through unto Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none except to Jews only;
Basa bashoma Klistu, balapalangana cebo camapensho alabuka palufu lwa Stefano. Balakashika ku Fenishiya, ku Saipulasi ne ku Antiyokeya. Aba bantu nkabali kukambaukila muntu uliyense sobwe, nsombi Bayuda bonka.
20 and there were certain of them men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who having entered into Antioch, were speaking unto the Hellenists, proclaiming good news — the Lord Jesus,
Palikuba bantu nabambi balafumina ku Saipulasi, neku Kulene. Aba balashika ku Antiyokeya, kabaya kukambauka ku Bagiliki naboyo, Mulumbe Waina ulambanga sha Mwami Yesu.
21 and the hand of the Lord was with them, a great number also, having believed, did turn unto the Lord.
Ngofu sha Mwami Lesa shalikubanyamfwilisha, cakwinseti bantu bangi balashoma ne kusandukila kuli Mwami Yesu.
22 And the account was heard in the ears of the assembly that [is] in Jerusalem concerning them, and they sent forth Barnabas to go through unto Antioch,
Makani awa mpwalanyumfwika ku mubungano waku Yelusalemu, balatumako Banabasi ku Antiyokeya.
23 who, having come, and having seen the grace of God, was glad, and was exhorting all with purpose of heart to cleave to the Lord,
Mpwalashika ne kubona Lesa ncalapa colwe abo bantu, walakondwa ne kubayuminisheti batwalilile kushoma Mwami Yesu ne myoyo yabo yonse.
24 because he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith, and a great multitude was added to the Lord.
Banabasi walikuba muntu walulama, walikutanguninwa ne Mushimu Uswepa ne lushomo lunene, neco bantu bangi balaletwa kuli Mwami Yesu.
25 And Barnabas went forth to Tarsus, to seek for Saul,
Kufumapo Banabasi walaya ku Taliso, kuya kulangaula Saulo.
26 and having found him, he brought him to Antioch, and it came to pass that they a whole year did assemble together in the assembly, and taught a great multitude, the disciples also were divinely called first in Antioch Christians.
Mpwalamucana Saulo, walesa nendi pamo ku Antiyokeya. Bonse pamo balekala mu mubungano waku Antiyokeya, ne kwiyisha bantu bangi kwacaka cimo. Uku ku Antiyokeya, enkobatatikila beshikwiya kukwiweti baklistu.
27 And in those days there came from Jerusalem prophets to Antioch,
Mu masubayo kwalashika bashinshimi ba Lesa nabambi ku Antiyokeya balafumina ku Yelusalemu.
28 and one of them, by name Agabus, having stood up, did signify through the Spirit a great dearth is about to be throughout all the world — which also came to pass in the time of Claudius Caesar —
Naumbi mushishimi lina lyakendi Agabu, walemana ne kushinshima kupitila mu mushimu wa Lesa, kwambeti mucishi conse mulakabanga nsala inene. Nsala iyi yalabako pacindi Kulodiyasi mpwalikuba mwami mukulene waku Loma.
29 and the disciples, according as any one was prospering, determined each of them to send for ministration to the brethren dwelling in Judea,
Cindici baklistu balayeyeti uliyense atumeko lunyamfwo kubanse balikwikala mu Yudeya, uliyense atume kwelana mbuli ncabele pang'anda, ico ncelela kukonsha.
30 which also they did, having sent unto the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
Mpobalapwa kubunganya bipo, balapa Banabasi ne Saulo kwambeti batwale ku bamakulene ba mubungano waku Yelusalemu.
