Atũmwo 13

1 Na rĩrĩ, kanitha-inĩ wa Antiokia nĩ kwarĩ na anabii na arutani: nao nĩo Baranaba, na Simeoni ũrĩa wetagwo na rĩĩtwa rĩngĩ Nigeri, na Lukio ũrĩa woimĩte Kurene, na Manaeni (ũrĩa wareranĩirio na Herode ũrĩa mũthamaki), o na Saũlũ.

There were now (some *k*) in Antioch in what is [the] church prophets and teachers, both Barnabas and Simeon who is being called Niger and Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen also — with Herod the tetrarch brought up — and Saul.

2 Rĩrĩa mahooyaga Mwathani mehingĩte kũrĩa irio, Roho Mũtheru akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nyamũrĩrai Baranaba na Saũlũ nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra ũrĩa ndĩmetĩire.”

As were ministering now they to the Lord and fasting said the Spirit Holy; do set apart then to Me (both *k*) Barnabas and (*k*) Saul for the work to which I have called them.

3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio thuutha wa kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio na kũhooya Ngai, makĩmaigĩrĩra moko, na makĩmatũma mathiĩ.

Then having fasted and having prayed and having laid the hands on them they sent [them] off.

4 Andũ acio eerĩ, matũmĩtwo nĩ Roho Mũtheru, magĩthiĩ nginya Seleukia na makĩhaica marikabu makiuma kũu magĩthiĩ nginya Kuporo.

(They themselves *N(k)O*) indeed therefore having been sent forth by of the Holy (the *k*) Spirit went down to (*k*) Seleucia, From there (then *NK(o)*) they sailed to (*k*) Cyprus.

5 Rĩrĩa maakinyire Salamisi, makĩhunjia kiugo kĩa Ngai thunagogi-inĩ cia Ayahudi. Nake Johana aarĩ hamwe nao arĩ ta mũteithia wao.

And having come into Salamis they were proclaiming the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; They had now also John [as] a helper.

6 Magĩthiĩ matuĩkanĩirie gĩcigĩrĩra kĩu gĩothe nginya magĩkinya Pafo. Kũu magĩkora Mũyahudi warĩ mũragũri na mũnabii wa maheeni wetagwo Bari-Jesũ,

Having passed through now (all *NO*) the island as far as Paphos they found (a man — *NO*) a certain magician a false prophet Jewish — whose name (of Bar-Jesus, *N(k)O*)

7 nake aatungatagĩra barũthi ũrĩa wetagwo Serigio Paũlũ. Barũthi ũcio warĩ mũndũ mũũgĩ, agĩtũmanĩra Baranaba na Saũlũ tondũ nĩendaga kũigua kiugo kĩa Ngai.

who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, man an intelligent. He having called to [him] Barnabas and Saul desired to hear the word of God.

8 No rĩrĩ, Elumo ũcio mũragũri (amu ũguo nĩguo rĩĩtwa rĩake riugĩte) akĩmakararia na akĩgeria kũgarũra barũthi ũcio nĩgeetha ndagetĩkie.

Was opposing however to them Elymas the magician — thus for means the name of him — seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith.

9 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Saũlũ, ũrĩa wetagwo na rĩĩtwa rĩngĩ Paũlũ aiyũrĩtwo nĩ Roho Mũtheru, agĩkũũrĩra Elumo maitho, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,

Saul then also [called] Paul having been filled [the] Spirit Holy (and *k*) having looked intently upon him

10 “Wee ũrĩ mwana wa mũcukani na ũrĩ thũ ya maũndũ marĩa mothe mega! Ũiyũrĩtwo nĩ mĩthemba yothe ya maheeni na waara. Ndũrĩ hĩndĩ ũgaatiga kuogomia njĩra iria ciagĩrĩire cia Mwathani?

said; O full of all deceit and all craft, son of [the] devil, enemy of all righteousness, not will you cease perverting the ways (of the *no*) Lord upright?

11 Na rĩrĩ, guoko kwa Mwathani nĩgũgũũkĩrĩire. Nĩũgũtuĩka mũtumumu na kwa ihinda ndũgũkorwo ũkĩona ũtheri wa riũa.” O hĩndĩ ĩyo akĩona marundurundu, na akĩgĩĩo nĩ nduma, akĩambĩrĩria kũhambahambata, agĩcaragia mũndũ wa kũmũnyiita guoko amũtongorie.

And now behold [the] hand (*k*) of the Lord [is] upon you, and you will be blind not seeing the sun during a season. Immediately (then descended *N(k)O*) upon him mist and darkness, and going about he was seeking one to lead by hand.

12 Nake barũthi oona ũrĩa gwekĩka, agĩĩtĩkia, nĩgũkorwo nĩagegirio nĩ ũrutani ũcio ũkoniĩ Mwathani.

Then having seen the proconsul that having happened he believed being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

13 Paũlũ na andũ arĩa maarĩ nao, moima Pafo makĩhaica marikabu magĩthiĩ Periga kũu bũrũri wa Pamufilia, kũrĩa Johana aamatigire agĩcooka Jerusalemu.

Having sailed then from Paphos [with] those around [him] (*k*) Paul came to Perga of Pamphylia. John however having departed from them he returned to Jerusalem.

14 Moima Periga, magĩthiĩ na mbere magĩkinya Antiokia ya bũrũri wa Pisidia. Na mũthenya wa Thabatũ magĩtoonya thunagogi magĩikara thĩ.

They themselves now having passed through from Perga came to Antioch (Pisidia, *N(k)O*) and (having gone *NK(o)*) into the synagogue on the day of the Sabbaths they sat down.

15 Thuutha wa gũthomwo kwa Maandĩko ma Watho na ma Anabii, anene a thunagogi makĩmatũmanĩra makĩmeera atĩrĩ; “Ariũ a Ithe witũ, angĩkorwo mũrĩ na ũhoro wa kũũmĩrĩria andũ-rĩ, maarĩriei.”

After then the reading of the law and of the Prophets sent the rulers of the synagogue to them saying; Men brothers, if any there is among you a word of exhortation toward the people, do speak.

16 Paũlũ akĩrũgama, na aarĩkia kũmakiria na guoko akĩmeera atĩrĩ: “Andũ aya a Isiraeli o na inyuĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ arĩa mũhooyaga Ngai, ta thikĩrĩriai!

Having risen up then Paul and having made a sign with the hand he said; Men Israelites and you who [are] fearing God, do listen.

17 Ngai wa andũ a Isiraeli nĩathuurire maithe maitũ; agĩtũma andũ acio matheereme hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maatũũraga Misiri, na akĩmaruta bũrũri ũcio na hinya mũnene,

The God of the people this of Israel chose the fathers of us and the people exalted in the sojourn in [the] land (of Egypt *N(k)O*) and with arm uplifted brought them out of it;

18 nĩakirĩrĩirie mĩtugo yao ihinda rĩa ta mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna marĩ werũ-inĩ,

and of about forty years for a period He endured the ways of them in the wilderness,

19 akĩniina ndũrĩrĩ mũgwanja kũu Kaanani naguo bũrũri wacio akĩũhe andũ aake ũtuĩke igai rĩao.

and having destroyed nations seven in [the] land of Canaan He gave as an inheritance (to them *k*) the land of them —

20 Ũhoro ũcio wothe wekĩkire ihinda-inĩ rĩa ta mĩaka magana mana ma mĩrongo ĩtano. “Thuutha wa ũguo, Ngai akĩmahe atiirĩrĩri bũrũri o nginya hĩndĩ ya Samũeli ũrĩa warĩ mũnabii.

during years four hundred and fifty; And after these things He gave [them] judges until Samuel the prophet;

21 Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ makiuga maheo mũthamaki, nake Ngai akĩmahe Saũlũ mũrũ wa Kishu, wa mũhĩrĩga wa Benjamini, nake agĩathana mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna.

Then Then they asked for a king, and gave to them God Saul son of Kish, a man of [the] tribe of Benjamin, years forty;

22 Thuutha wa kweheria Saũlũ, agĩtua Daudi mũthamaki wao. Akĩruta ũira ũmũkoniĩ, akiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩnyonete Daudi mũrũ wa Jesii arĩ mũndũ ũkenagia ngoro yakwa; we nĩarĩĩkaga ũrĩa wothe ngwenda eke.’

And having removed him He raised up David to them as king, to whom also He said having carried witness: I have found David the [son of] Jesse a man according to the heart of Mine, who will do all the will of Mine.

23 “Kuuma rũciaro-inĩ rwa mũndũ ũyũ, Ngai nĩareheire andũ a Isiraeli Mũhonokia, na nĩwe Jesũ, o ta ũrĩa eeranĩire.

Of this [man] the God of the seed according to promise (has brought *N(K)O*) to Israel ([the] Savior *NK(O)*) Jesus —

24 Jesũ atanooka, Johana nĩahunjagĩria andũ othe a Isiraeli ũhoro wa kwĩrira mehia na ũhoro wa kũbatithio.

When was proclaiming John before [the] face of the coming of Him a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

25 Na rĩrĩa Johana aarĩkagia wĩra wake nĩoririe atĩrĩ: ‘Mwĩciiragia niĩ nĩ niĩ ũũ? Niĩ ti niĩ we. Aca niĩ ti niĩ, nowe nĩegũũka thuutha wakwa, o we ũrĩa niĩ itagĩrĩirwo kuohora ndigi cia iraatũ ciake.’

While then was fulfilling (*k*) John the course he was saying; (whom *N(k)O*) me myself do you suppose to be? Not am [he] I myself; but behold He comes after me myself of whom not I am worthy the sandal of the feet to untie.

26 “Ariũ a Ithe witũ, o inyuĩ ciana cia Iburahĩmu, o na inyuĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ arĩa mwĩtigĩrĩte Ngai, ũhoro ũyũ wa ũhonokio nĩ ithuĩ tũtũmĩirwo.

Men brothers, sons of [the] family of Abraham and you who [are] among you fearing God, (to us *N(K)O*) the message of the salvation this (was sent out. *N(k)O*)

27 Andũ a Jerusalemu na anene ao matiakũũranire Jesũ, no nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa maamũtuĩrĩire ciira, makĩhingia ciugo cia anabii iria ithomagwo o mũthenya wa Thabatũ.

Those for dwelling in Jerusalem and the rulers of them Him not having known and the voices of the prophets that on every Sabbath are being read, having condemned [Him] they fulfilled [them];

28 O na gũtuĩka mationire gĩtũmi kĩiganu gĩa gũtũma ooragwo, nĩmathaithire Pilato aathane ooragwo.

And no cause of death having found they begged Pilate to execute him.

29 Na maarĩkia kũhingia maũndũ mothe marĩa maandĩkĩtwo ũhoro wake, makĩmũcurũria kuuma mũtĩ-igũrũ, makĩmũiga mbĩrĩra.

When then they had finished (all *N(k)O*) the [things] about Him written, having taken [Him] down from the tree they put [Him] in a tomb.

30 No rĩrĩ, Ngai nĩamũriũkirie kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ,

But God raised Him out from [the] dead,

31 na kwa ihinda rĩa mĩthenya mĩingĩ nĩonirwo nĩ andũ arĩa moimĩte nao Galili, magathiĩ Jerusalemu. Na rĩu acio nĩo aira aake kũrĩ andũ aitũ.

who appeared for days many to those having come up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who (now *NO*) are witnesses of Him to the people.

32 “Tũramwĩra ũhoro mwega: Ũhoro ũrĩa Ngai eerĩire maithe maitũ,

And we ourselves to you evangelise the to the fathers promise having been made,

33 nĩatũhingĩirie ithuĩ ciana ciao, na ũndũ wa kũriũkia Jesũ. O ta ũrĩa kwandĩkĩtwo thĩinĩ wa Thaburi ya keerĩ atĩrĩ: “‘Wee ũrĩ Mũrũ wakwa; ũmũthĩ nĩndatuĩka Thoguo.’

that this God has fulfilled to the children of them (to us *NK(O)*) having raised up Jesus, as also in the psalm it has been written in the (second *NK(O)*) Son of Mine are You yourself, I myself today have begotten you.’

34 Naguo ũhoro wa ma wa atĩ Ngai nĩamũriũkirie kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ nĩguo ndakabuthe-rĩ, nĩ warĩtio na ciugo ici: “‘Nĩngakũhe irathimo iria theru na iria itarĩ hĩndĩ ingĩaga iria cierĩirwo Daudi.’

for then He raised Him out from [the] dead no more being about to return to decay, thus He has spoken that I will give to you the holy [blessings] of David the sure [blessings].’

35 Ũndũ ũcio nĩwarĩtio handũ hangĩ atĩrĩ: “‘Wee ndũkareka ũrĩa waku Mũtheru abuthe.’

(therefore *N(k)O*) also in another He says: Not You will allow the Holy One of you to see decay.’

36 “Nĩgũkorwo rĩrĩa Daudi aarĩkirie gũtungatĩra Ngai rũciaro-inĩ rwake, nĩakuire; agĩthikwo hamwe na maithe make naguo mwĩrĩ wake ũkĩbutha.

David indeed for in his own generation having served the of God purpose he fell asleep and he was added to the fathers of him and saw decay;

37 No ũrĩa Ngai aariũkirie kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ ndaabuthire.

The [One] however God raised up not did see decay.

38 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ariũ a Ithe witũ, ngwenda mũmenye atĩ ũhoro wa kũrekerwo kwa mehia nĩũhunjĩtio kũrĩ inyuĩ na ũndũ wa Jesũ.

Known therefore it should be to you, men brothers, that through this One to you forgiveness of sins is proclaimed;

39 Na mũndũ wothe ũmwĩtĩkĩtie nĩatuuagwo mũthingu maũndũ-inĩ mothe marĩa watho wa Musa ũtangĩamũtuire mũthingu.

And from all things from which not you were able in (the *k*) law of Moses to be justified, in Him everyone who is believing is justified.

40 Mwĩmenyererei, nĩgeetha ũhoro ũrĩa anabii maaririe ndũkanamũkore, rĩrĩa moigire atĩrĩ:

do take heed therefore lest may come about (upon you *K*) that said in the prophets:

41 “‘Ta rorai, inyuĩ anyũrũrania, gegaai na mũthire, nĩgũkorwo nĩngwĩka ũndũ matukũ-inĩ manyu, ũrĩa mũtangĩtĩkia, o na mũngĩĩrwo nĩ mũndũ.’”

Behold! you scoffers, and do wonder and do perish for a work am working I myself in the days of you, a work (that *N(k)O*) certainly not you may believe even if one shall declare it to you.’

42 Rĩrĩa Paũlũ na Baranaba moimaga thunagogi, andũ makĩmeera moke mũthenya ũrĩa warũmĩrĩire wa Thabatũ nĩguo mathiĩ na mbere kwaria ũhoro ũcio.

When are departing then (they *no*) (from the *k*) (synagogue *K*) (of the *k*) (Jews *K*) were begging (the gentiles *K*) on the next Sabbath to be spoken to them declarations these.

43 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mũcemanio wathirire, Ayahudi aingĩ na andũ arĩa meegarũrĩte magatuĩka Ayahudi makĩrũmĩrĩra Paũlũ na Baranaba, nao makĩmaarĩria na makĩmaringĩrĩria mathiĩ na mbere gũikara wega-inĩ wa Ngai.

When was releasing then the synagogue followed many of the Jews and of the worshipping converts after Paul and after Barnabas, who speaking to them were persuading them (to continue *N(k)O*) in the grace of God.

44 Mũthenya ũcio ũngĩ warũmĩrĩire wa Thabatũ, hakuhĩ andũ othe a itũũra rĩu inene magĩũka kũigua kiugo kĩa Mwathani.

On the (now *NK(o)*) coming Sabbath almost all the city was gathered together to hear the word (of the Lord. *N(K)O*)

45 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa Ayahudi moonire kĩrĩndĩ kĩu, makĩnyiitwo nĩ ũiru na makĩaria ciugo njũru cia gũũkĩrĩra ũrĩa Paũlũ oigaga.

Having seen however the Jews the crowds they were filled with jealousy and were contradicting the [things] by (*k*) Paul (spoken *N(k)O*) (denying and *K*) denigrating [him].

46 Nao Paũlũ na Baranaba makĩmacookeria marĩ na ũcamba makĩmeera atĩrĩ, “No nginya tũngĩrambire kũheana kiugo kĩa Ngai kũrĩ inyuĩ. No rĩrĩ, kuona nĩmũraũrega na mũgetuĩra atĩ mũtiagĩrĩirwo nĩ muoyo wa tene na tene-rĩ, rĩu nĩtũkũgarũrũka tũthiĩ kũrĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ. (aiōnios g166)

Having spoken boldly (also *N(k)O*) Paul and Barnabas said; To you it was necessary first to be spoken the word of God; but since (now *ko*) you thrust away it and not worthy you judge yourselves of eternal life, behold we are turning to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)

47 Nĩgũkorwo Mwathani atwathĩte agatwĩra atĩrĩ: “‘Nĩndĩmũtuĩte ũtheri wa gũtherera andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ, nĩguo mũtware ũhoro wa ũhonokio nginya ituri-inĩ cia thĩ.’”

Thus for has commanded us the Lord: I have set you for a light of [the] Gentiles to be you for salvation until [the] uttermost part of the earth.’

48 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ maaiguire ũguo magĩkena na magĩtĩĩa kiugo kĩa Mwathani, nao andũ arĩa othe maathĩrĩirio muoyo-inĩ wa tene na tene magĩĩtĩkia. (aiōnios g166)

Hearing [it] then the Gentiles (were rejoicing *NK(o)*) and they were glorifying the word of the (Lord *NK(O)*) and they believed as many as were appointed to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)

49 Nakĩo kiugo kĩa Mwathani gĩkĩhunja kũndũ guothe kũu bũrũri-inĩ.

Was carried then the word of the Lord through all the region.

50 No Ayahudi magĩakĩrĩria atumia arĩa meyamũrĩire Ngai na maarĩ igweta, o na anene a itũũra inene. Makĩrutithia ngũĩ ya gũũkĩrĩra Paũlũ na Baranaba nĩguo manyariirwo, na makĩmaingata moime bũrũri-inĩ wao.

The but Jews incited the worshipping women (and *k*) [those] prominent and the principals of the city and they stirred up a persecution against Paul and (*k*) Barnabas and expelled them from the district of them.

51 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩribariba rũkũngũ kuuma magũrũ mao kuonania, atĩ nĩmatigana nao na magĩthiĩ Ikonia.

But having shaken off the dust of the feet (of them *k*) against them they went to Iconium.

52 Nao arutwo makĩiyũrwo ni gĩkeno, na makĩiyũrwo nĩ Roho Mũtheru.

(and *N(k)O*) the disciples were filled with joy and [the] Spirit Holy.
