Acts 13

1 And there were certain in Antioch, in the assembly there, prophets and teachers; both Barnabas, and Simeon who is called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen also — Herod the tetrarch's foster-brother — and Saul;

Mu mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵa ku Antiokia, ŵapali ŵane ŵaŵaliji ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ni ŵakwiganya. Mwa ŵelewo, ŵapali che Banaba ni che Simeoni jwakuŵilanjikwa jwampiliu ni che Lukio jwa ku Kulene ni che Sauli ni che Manaeni ŵaŵalelitwe pamo ni mwenye che Helode.

2 and in their ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, 'Separate ye to me both Barnabas and Saul to the work to which I have called them,'

Nipele, paŵaliji nkupopela kwa Ambuje ni kutaŵa, Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵatite, “Mumichile pajika che Banaba ni che Sauli, kwa ligongo lya masengo ganaŵilasile.”

3 then having fasted, and having prayed, and having laid the hands on them, they sent [them] away.

Nipele, paŵamasile kutaŵa ni kupopela, ŵaasajichile makono gao ni kwaleka ajaulangane.

4 These, indeed, then, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, thence also they sailed to Cyprus,

Nipele, che Banaba ni che Sauli ali alajiswe ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵatulwiche mpaka ku Seleukia, kutyochela kweleko ŵakwesile ngalaŵa mpaka ku chilumba cha Kupulo.

5 and having come unto Salamis, they declared the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews, and they had also John [as] a ministrant;

Paŵaiche ku Salami, ŵaalalichile ŵandu Liloŵe lya Akunnungu mmajumba ga kupopelela Ŵayahudi, che Yohana Maliko ŵaliji pamo nawo nti jwakwatumichila.

6 and having gone through the island unto Paphos, they found a certain magian, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name [is] Bar-Jesus;

Paŵajesilejesile mchilumba chose mpaka ku Pafo, ŵansimene nsaŵi jumo Myahudi, jwakulondola jwa unami liina lyakwe Baliyesu.

7 who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man; this one having called for Barnabas and Saul, did desire to hear the word of God,

Jweleju ŵaliji pamo ni che Selujio Paolo jwankulu jwa chilumba, mundu juŵaliji ni lunda nnope. Che Selujio Paolo ŵaaŵilasile che Banaba ni che Sauli kuti apilikane Liloŵe lya Akunnungu.

8 and there withstood them Elymas the magian — for so is his name interpreted — seeking to pervert the proconsul from the faith.

Nambo Elima nsaŵi jo, Elima Mchigiliki malumbo gakwe Jwakukanila, ŵasachile kunsiŵila jwankulu jwa chilumba anaukulupilile Ukilisito.

9 And Saul — who also [is] Paul — having been filled with the Holy Spirit, and having looked stedfastly on him,

Nipele che Sauli jwakuŵilanjikwa che Paolo, ali aguumbele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, ŵankolondolele Elima,

10 said, 'O full of all guile, and all profligacy, son of a devil, enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease perverting the right ways of the Lord?

ni kuti, “Mmwe nli mwanache jwa Shetani! Mmwe nli jwammagongo jwa ya usyene yose! Mmwe nli jwaunami jwankulu ni jwaulamba! Moŵa gose ngankuleka kugalyungasya matala ga goloka ga Ambuje.

11 and now, lo, a hand of the Lord [is] upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season;' and presently there fell upon him a mist and darkness, and he, going about, was seeking some to lead [him] by the hand;

Sambano, ulamusi wa Ambuje chiunlamule, chimme jwangalola ni nganliwona lyuŵa kwa katema.” Papopo pepo lyannyichilile lipundugulu ni chipi, ni ŵajendajendaga achinsosaga mundu jwakunkamula nkono kuti ŵaalongosye.

12 then the proconsul having seen what hath come to pass, did believe, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

Jwankulu jwa chilumba jula paŵaiweni iyatendekwe yo, ŵankulupilile Che Yesu, ni ŵagasimosile nnope majiganyo gaŵagapilikene gankati Ambuje.

13 And those about Paul having set sail from Paphos, came to Perga of Pamphylia, and John having departed from them, did turn back to Jerusalem,

Nipele, che Paolo ni mpingo wakwe ŵakwesile ngalaŵa kutyochela ku Pafo ni ŵaichenje ku Pega mmusi wa Pamfilia, nambo che Yohana Maliko ŵaalesile ni kuujila ku Yelusalemu.

14 and they having gone through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia, and having gone into the synagogue on the sabbath-day, they sat down,

Nambo ŵanyawo ŵapelengenye kutyochela ku Pega mpaka ku Pisidia mmusi wa ku Antiokia. Nipele ŵajinjile mu nyuumba ja kupopelela pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila ni kutama.

15 and after the reading of the law and of the prophets, the chief men of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, 'Men, brethren, if there be a word in you of exhortation unto the people — say on.'

Paŵamasile kusyoma mchitabu cha Malajisyo ni mu itabu ya Ŵakulondola, ilongola ŵa nyuumba ja kupopelela jila ŵalajisye utenga kukwao kuti, “Achalongo achinjetu, iŵaga nkwete maloŵe gagali gose gakwalimbisya mitima ŵandu ŵa, mmechete.”

16 And Paul having risen, and having beckoned with the hand, said, 'Men, Israelites, and those fearing God, hearken:

Nipele, che Paolo ŵajimi, ŵajongwele nkono ni kutanda kuŵecheta, “Ŵanyamwe Ŵaisilaeli achinjangu ni wose unkwalamba Akunnungu, mpilikanichisye!

17 the God of this people Israel did choose our fathers, and the people He did exalt in their sojourning in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm did He bring them out of it;

Akunnungu ŵa ŵandu Ŵaisilaeli ŵaasagwile achambuje ŵetu, ni kwakusya paŵatamaga kuchilendo ku Misili kula. Ni kwa ukombole wao wekulungwa ŵaakopwesye kweleko.

18 and about a period of forty years He did suffer their manners in the wilderness,

Ni ŵaapililile mwipululu mula kwa yaka alobaini.

19 and having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He did divide by lot to them their land.

Nipele, ŵasijonasile ngosyo nsano ni siŵili sya mchilambo cha Kanaani ni ŵapele ŵanyawo chilambo cho kuti ajinjilanje majumba.

20 'And after these things, about four hundred and fifty years, He gave judges — till Samuel the prophet;

Yeleyo yatendekwe kwa yaka mia nne na hansini. “Payamasile yele Akunnungu ŵapele ŵakulamula kuti ŵaalongosye mpaka katema ka che Samweli jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.

21 and thereafter they asked for a king, and God did give to them Saul, son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years;

Ni pelepo ŵasachile kuŵa ni mwenye, ni Akunnungu ŵapele che Sauli mwanagwao che Kishi jwa lukosyo lu che Benyamini aŵe mwenye jwao kwa yaka makumi ncheche.

22 and having removed him, He did raise up to them David for king, to whom also having testified, he said, I found David, the [son] of Jesse, a man according to My heart, who shall do all My will.

Akunnungu paŵantyosisye che Sauli, ŵansagwile che Daudi kuŵa mwenye jwao. Ŵalosisye kwakunda paŵasasile umboni nkati jwelejo paŵatite, ‘Nammweni che Daudi mwanagwao che Yese, mundu jwakuunonyelesya ntima wangu, juchagatendekanye gose gingusaka kugatendekanya.’

23 'Of this one's seed God, according to promise, did raise to Israel a Saviour — Jesus,

Kutyochela mu lukosyo lu che Daudi Akunnungu ŵaapele Ŵaisilaeli Nkulupusyo, jwelejo ali Che Yesu mpela iŵatite pakulanga.

24 John having first preached, before his coming, a baptism of reformation to all the people of Israel;

Che Yesu akanaŵe kugatanda masengo, ŵalongolele che Yohana achaalalichilaga ŵandu wose ŵa ku Isilaeli aleche sambi ni kubatiswa.

25 and as John was fulfilling the course, he said, Whom me do ye suppose to be? I am not [he], but, lo, he doth come after me, of whom I am not worthy to loose the sandal of [his] feet.

Nkumalisya masengo gakwe, che Yohana ŵaausisye ŵandu, ‘Ana nkuganisya kuti uneji ndili Chiwombosyo? Uneji nganima ŵelewo ŵankwalindilila. Ŵelewo akwika panyuma pangu, ni uneji nganguŵajilwa kugopola migoji ja italawanda yao.’

26 'Men, brethren, sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you fearing God, to you was the word of this salvation sent,

“Achalongo achinjangu ŵanli ŵanache ŵa che Iblahimu, ni ŵanyamwe ŵanganimma Ŵayahudi ŵankwalamba Akunnungu! Au utenga wa ukulupusyo wu uiche kukwetu.

27 for those dwelling in Jerusalem, and their chiefs, this one not having known, also the voices of the prophets, which every sabbath are being read — having judged [him] — did fulfil,

Pakuŵa ŵanyawo ŵakutama ku Yelusalemu pamo ni achakulu ŵao nganiŵamanyilila Che Yesu kuti ali Nkulupusyo, iyoyo nganagamanyilila malembelo ga ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu gagakusyomekwa pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila lyalili lyose. Kwa ligongo lyo ŵagamalichisye maloŵe ga ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu pakwalamula Che Yesu kuŵambikwa pa nsalaba.

28 and no cause of death having found, they did ask of Pilate that he should be slain,

Atamuno nganalisimana liwamba lyakuulagwa, nambo ŵaŵendile che Pilato aulajikwe.

29 and when they did complete all the things written about him, having taken [him] down from the tree, they laid him in a tomb;

Paŵamalisisye kupanganya yanayose iyalembekwe mmalembelo yankati ŵelewo, nipele ŵaatulwisye pa nsalaba ni kwasika mu lilembe lya mbugu.

30 and God did raise him out of the dead,

Nambo Akunnungu ŵansyusisye.

31 and he was seen for many days of those who did come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

Kwa moŵa gamajinji ŵaonekanaga kwa aŵala ŵaŵakwesile nawo kutyochela ku Galilaya kwaula ku Yelusalemu. Nombewo sambano ali ŵaumboni ŵakwe kwa ŵandu ŵa ku Isilaeli.

32 'And we to you do proclaim good news — that the promise made unto the fathers,

Ni uweji tuiche pelepa kukwalalichila Ngani Jambone ja chilanga chiŵachiŵisile Akunnungu kwa achambuje ŵetu.

33 God hath in full completed this to us their children, having raised up Jesus, as also in the second Psalm it hath been written, My Son thou art — I to-day have begotten thee.

Akunnungu achimalisisye chilanga cho sambano kwa ligongo lyetu uweji ŵatuli isukulu yao pakwasyusya Che Yesu. Mpela yaitite pakulembekwa mu Sabuli ja kaŵili, ‘Mmweji nli Mwanangu, uneji lelo jino mele Atati ŵenu.’

34 'And that He did raise him up out of the dead, no more to return to corruption, he hath said thus — I will give to you the faithful kindnesses of David;

Yankati kusyuka ku Che Yesu, kuti ngasawa sooni, Akunnungu ŵatite yelei, ‘Chinampe upile weswela wausyene unalanjile che Daudi.’

35 wherefore also in another [place] he saith, Thou shalt not give Thy kind One to see corruption,

Elo, ni mwine mwine mu Sabuli akuti, ‘Ngamunneka Jwanswela jwenu aweje.’

36 for David, indeed, his own generation having served by the will of God, did fall asleep, and was added unto his fathers, and saw corruption,

Nambo nginiŵa yele ku che Daudi, pakuŵa che Daudi nsyene ŵatendekenye malinga ni iŵaisachile Akunnungu kutendekanya katema kao, nipele ŵawile ni ŵaasichile mu lilembe lya mbugu pachiŵandi ni achatati ŵao, ni chiilu chao chaosile.

37 but he whom God did raise up, did not see corruption.

Nambo, jwele juŵasyusikwe ni Akunnungu ngasawola.

38 'Let it therefore be known to you, men, brethren, that through this one to you is the forgiveness of sins declared,

Nipele, achalongo achinjangu Ŵaisilaeli, mmanyilile kuti kwa litala li Che Yesu, utenga wa kulecheleswa sambi ukulalichilwa kukwenu, nikuti jwalijose jwakunkulupilila Kilisito akulecheleswa sambi syose, chindu changachikukomboleka kukundikwa kwa litala lya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa.

39 and from all things from which ye were not able in the law of Moses to be declared righteous, in this one every one who is believing is declared righteous;

Jwalijose juchankulupilile Jwelejo chaŵalanjikwe ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu chindu chati Malajisyo ga che Musa ngagakukombola kuchipanganya.

40 see, therefore, it may not come upon you that hath been spoken in the prophets:

Nipele, nlilolechesye chikansimana chechila chiŵachisasile ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu,

41 See, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish, because a work I — I do work in your days, a work in which ye may not believe, though any one may declare [it] to you.'

‘Mpilikanichisye ŵanyamwe ŵakulikanganichila, nsimonje nkawe! Pakuŵa chindu chinguchipanganya, mmoŵa ga, chindu cho ngankajitichisye atamuno mundu akansalile.’”

42 And having gone forth out of the synagogue of the Jews, the nations were calling upon [them] that on the next sabbath these sayings may be spoken to them,

Che Paolo ni che Banaba paŵakopokaga mu nyuumba ja kupopelela jila, ŵandu ŵala ŵaachondelele aichanje sooni kukwasalila maloŵe go, Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila lyalikwika.

43 and the synagogue having been dismissed, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes did follow Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, were persuading them to remain in the grace of God.

Paŵapwilingene mu nyuumba ja kupopelela mula, Ŵayahudi ŵajinji ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ŵaŵajitichisye dini ja Chiyahudi ŵaakuiye che Paolo ni che Banaba. Ŵanyawo ŵaŵechete nawo, ni kwalimbisya mitima kuti atamanje achikulupililaga upile wa Akunnungu.

44 And on the coming sabbath, almost all the city was gathered together to hear the word of God,

Ni Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila liine, ŵandu ŵajinji, chiŵandi kwichila musi wose ŵasongangene kukupilikanila Liloŵe lya Ambuje.

45 and the Jews having seen the multitudes, were filled with zeal, and did contradict the things spoken by Paul — contradicting and speaking evil.

Nambo Ŵayahudi paŵauweni mpingo wa ŵandu wo ŵagumbele wiu, nipele ŵachikanile chichasalaga che Paolo ni kwatukana.

46 And speaking boldly, Paul and Barnabas said, 'To you it was necessary that first the word of God be spoken, and seeing ye do thrust it away, and do not judge yourselves worthy of the life age-during, lo, we do turn to the nations; (aiōnios g166)

Atamuno yeleyo, che Paolo ni che Banaba ŵaŵechete pangali lipamba, “Yaŵajilwe kuti Liloŵe lya Akunnungu litande kusalikwa kaje kwa ŵanyamwe. Nambo pakuŵa nlikanile ni kuganisya mwachinsyene kuti, ngankuŵajilwa kukola umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi, nipele tukunneka ni kwagalauchila ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi. (aiōnios g166)

47 for so hath the Lord commanded us: I have set thee for a light of nations — for thy being for salvation unto the end of the earth.'

Pakuŵa Ambuje atulajisye yelei, ‘Nambisile mmweji kuŵa lilanguka kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, kuti ŵandu wose ŵa pachilambo akulupuswe.’”

48 And the nations hearing were glad, and were glorifying the word of the Lord, and did believe — as many as were appointed to life age-during; (aiōnios g166)

Ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi paŵapilikene yele ŵasengwile, ni kuulapa utenga wa Ambuje, ni ŵandu wose ŵaŵasagulikwe kukola umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi, ŵaakulupilile Che Yesu. (aiōnios g166)

49 and the word of the Lord was spread abroad through all the region.

Liloŵe lya Ambuje lyajenele mchilambo chila chose.

50 And the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the first men of the city, and did raise persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and did put them out from their borders;

Nambo Ŵayahudi ŵaachisisye achakongwe ŵakusichila, ŵakwapopela Akunnungu ni achalume ŵakumanyika ŵa mmusi wo. Ni ŵatandite kwalagasya che Paolo ni che Banaba, ni kwaŵinga mchilambo chao.

51 and they having shaken off the dust of their feet against them, came to Iconium,

Nipele, achinduna ŵala ŵakung'undile luundu mmakongolo gao kulosya kuti akanikwe, ni ŵajawile ku Ikonio.

52 and the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.

Nambo ŵakulijiganya ŵa Che Yesu ku Antiokia kula ŵasengwile ni kugumbala Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
