< Atũmwo 14 >

1 Na rĩrĩ, Paũlũ na Baranaba marĩ kũu Ikonia, magĩtoonya thunagogi ya Ayahudi o ta mũtugo. Marĩ kũu makĩaria na ũhoti mũingĩ mũno o nginya Ayahudi aingĩ na andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ magĩĩtĩkia.
In Iconium, they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed.
2 No Ayahudi arĩa maaregire gwĩtĩkia nĩmathogothire andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ, makĩmathũkia meciiria nĩgeetha mookĩrĩre ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ.
But the disbelieving Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Paũlũ na Baranaba magĩikara kũu ihinda iraaya, makĩaria marĩ na ũcamba nĩ ũndũ wa Mwathani, o we wekĩrire ndũmĩrĩri ya wega wake hinya na ũndũ wa kũmahotithia kũringa ciama na morirũ.
Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4 Andũ a itũũra rĩu inene makĩgayũkana; amwe magĩĩtĩkania na Ayahudi, nao arĩa angĩ magĩĩtĩkania na atũmwo.
But the multitude of the city was divided. Part sided with the Jews and part with the apostles.
5 Nĩ kwarĩ na ndundu yathugundĩtwo nĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ na Ayahudi, hamwe na atongoria ao, nĩguo mameeke ũũru, na mamahũũre na mahiga nyuguto.
When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them,
6 No nao makĩmenya ũhoro ũcio, na makĩũrĩra matũũra manene ma bũrũri wa Likaonia, na nĩmo Lisitera, na Deribe, o na bũrũri ũrĩa wagũthiũrũrũkĩirie,
they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.
7 kũrĩa maathiire na mbere kũhunjia ũhoro mwega.
There they preached the Good News.
8 Nakuo kũu Lisitera nĩ kwarĩ mũndũ warĩ mwonju magũrũ, na aatũũrĩte arĩ mwonju kuuma gũciarwo na ndetwarĩte na magũrũ o narĩ.
At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.
9 Nake agĩthikĩrĩria Paũlũ akĩaria. Paũlũ aamũrora, akĩona atĩ aarĩ na wĩtĩkio wa kũhonio,
He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,
10 akĩmwĩta na mũgambo mũnene, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rũgama na magũrũ maku!” Na o hĩndĩ ĩyo, mũndũ ũcio akĩrũga na igũrũ, akĩambĩrĩria gwĩtwara.
said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” He leaped up and walked.
11 Rĩrĩa gĩkundi kĩu kĩa andũ kĩonire ũrĩa Paũlũ eekĩte, gĩkĩanĩrĩra na rũthiomi rwa Likaonia gĩkiuga atĩrĩ, “Ngai nĩciikũrũkĩte kũrĩ ithuĩ itariĩ ta andũ!”
When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”
12 Magĩĩta Baranaba Zeu, nake Paũlũ makĩmwĩta Herime tondũ nĩwe warĩ mwaria ũrĩa mũnene.
They called Barnabas “Jupiter”, and Paul “Mercury”, because he was the chief speaker.
13 Mũthĩnjĩri-ngai ya Zeu, ũrĩa hekarũ yake yarĩ o hau nja ya itũũra, akĩrehe ndegwa na mahũa maatumĩtwo ta thũmbĩ hau kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa itũũra inene, tondũ we na gĩkundi kĩu kĩa andũ nĩmendaga kũmarutĩra magongona.
The priest of Jupiter, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have made a sacrifice along with the multitudes.
14 No rĩrĩa atũmwo acio Baranaba na Paũlũ maaiguire ũguo, magĩtembũranga nguo ciao, makĩhanyũka, magĩtoonya kũrĩ kĩrĩndĩ, makĩanagĩrĩra atĩrĩ,
But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes and sprang into the multitude, crying out,
15 “Andũ aya, mũreka ũguo nĩkĩ? Ithuĩ tũrĩ o andũ ta inyuĩ. Tũmũreheire ũhoro mwega, wa kũmwĩra mũgarũrũke mũtigane na maũndũ marĩa matarĩ kĩene, mũcookerere Ngai ũrĩa ũtũũraga muoyo, o we ũrĩa wombire igũrũ na thĩ na iria na indo ciothe iria irĩ kuo.
“Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of the same nature as you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;
16 Tene, nĩarekereirie ndũrĩrĩ ciothe ithiiage na mĩthiĩre yacio nyene,
who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.
17 no ndaigana gwĩtiga atarĩ na ũira wa kuonania atĩ arĩ kuo: nĩamuonetie ũtugi na ũndũ wa kũmuurĩria mbura yumĩte igũrũ na kũmũhe magetha hĩndĩ ya kĩmera; nĩamũheaga irio nyingĩ na akaiyũria ngoro cianyu na gĩkeno.”
Yet he did not leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”
18 No o na maarĩtie ciugo icio, nĩ maarĩ na wĩra mũritũ wa kũgiria gĩkundi kĩu kĩa andũ kĩmarutĩre igongona.
Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a sacrifice to them.
19 Na rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩyo Ayahudi angĩ magĩũka moimĩte Antiokia na Ikonia, nao makĩguucĩrĩria gĩkundi kĩu kĩa andũ, gĩgĩcooka mwena wao. Gĩkundi kĩu gĩkĩhũũra Paũlũ na mahiga nyuguto, na gĩkĩmũkururia, gĩkĩmũruta nja ya itũũra, gĩĩciirĩtie nĩ mũkuũ.
But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.
20 No arutwo maarĩkia kũmũrigiicĩria, agĩũkĩra agĩcooka itũũra-inĩ. Mũthenya ũcio ũngĩ warũmĩrĩire, we na Baranaba makiuma kũu magĩthiĩ Deribe.
But as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 Paũlũ wa Baranaba makĩhunjia ũhoro mwega itũũra-inĩ rĩu na magĩtũma andũ aingĩ matuĩke arutwo. Magĩcooka makĩhũndũka magĩthiĩ Lisitera, na Ikonia, na Antiokia,
When they had preached the Good News to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
22 magĩĩkagĩra arutwo hinya na kũmomĩrĩria nĩgeetha matũũre marũmĩtie wĩtĩkio. Makameeraga atĩrĩ, “No nginya ithuĩ tũgerere mathĩĩna-inĩ maingĩ nĩguo tũtoonye ũthamaki-inĩ wa Ngai.”
strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.
23 Paũlũ na Baranaba makĩmaamũrĩra athuuri a kanitha na makĩhooya Ngai mehingĩte kũrĩa irio, makĩmaneana kũrĩ Mwathani, o we ũrĩa meehokete.
When they had appointed elders for them in every assembly, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord on whom they had believed.
24 Thuutha wa gũtuĩkanĩria Pisidia, magĩkinya Pamufilia,
They passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.
25 na maarĩkia kũhunjia kiugo kũu Periga, magĩikũrũka magĩthiĩ Atalia.
When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
26 Moima Atalia makĩhaica marikabu, magĩcooka Antiokia, o kũrĩa maahoeirwo wega wa Ngai mbere nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra ũrĩa maarĩkĩtie kũruta.
From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.
27 Maakinya kũu magĩcookanĩrĩria andũ a kanitha hamwe, makĩmeera ũrĩa wothe Ngai ekĩte agereire harĩo na ũrĩa aahingũrĩire andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ mũrango wa gwĩtĩkia.
When they had arrived and had gathered the assembly together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.
28 Nao magĩikara na arutwo kũu ihinda iraaya.
They stayed there with the disciples for a long time.
