Ebhikolwa bhya Jintumwa 15
1 Abhanu bhalebhe bhatelemukile okusoka mu Bhuyaudi no kwiingisha abhasu, nibhaika, mukalema “okutendwa kutyo ebhilagilo bha Musa, mtakutula okwelulwa.”
Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, "Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved."
2 Omwanya Paulo na barnaba anu bhaliga bhali no kubhambhashanya no kunyashanya amwi nabho, abhasu bhalamuye ati Paulo na Barnaba, na bhandi bhafuo bhagende Yerusalemu ku ntumwa na bhakaluka ingulu ya libhusho linu.
Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul and Barnabas, and some others of them, to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
3 Kulwejo, kwo kutumwa kwebhe na Likanisa, bhalabhile Foinike na Samaria mbhalasha okuindulwa kwe mioyo ja bhanyamaanga. Bhaletele ekondelwa enene ku bhasu bhona,
They, being sent on their way by the church, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, describing in detail the conversion of the non-Jewish people. They caused great joy to all the brothers.
4 bhejile bhakaja Yerusalemu, bhakalibhisibhwe na Likanisa na jintumwa na abhakaluka, no kukingya emisango jona jinu Nyamuanga akolele amwi nabho.
When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the apostles and the elders, and they reported all things that God had done with them.
5 Mbhe nawe bhanu bhalebhe bhanu bhekilisishe, bhanu bhaliga bhali mwiijo lya bhafarisyo, bhanu bhaliga bhemeleguyu no kwaika,” ni bhusi-bhusi okubhatenda no kubhalagilila bhagwate ebhilagilo bhya Musa.”
But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, "It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the Law of Moses."
6 kwibhyo jintumwa na bhakaluka bhemeleguyu amwi mbaliganilisha lisango linu.
The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
7 okumala amaikano malela, Petro nemelegulu no kwaika ku bhene,”Abhasu omumenya ati omwanya mukonde gunu gwatulile Nyamuanga akolele obhwausi agati yemwe, ati kwo munwa gwani abhanyamaanga bhategeleshe omusango gwo bhwana, no kwikilisha.
When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, "Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
8 Nyamuanga, unu kamenya emyoyo, kabhambhalila ku bhene, kabhayana Mwoyo mwelu, kutyo akolele kweswe;
God, who knows the heart, testified about them by giving the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.
9 no kukonja ubhuteshanya agati yeswe na bhene, najikola emyoyo jebhwe okubha mwelu ne likilisha.
He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
10 kwibhyo, kubhaki omumulegeja Nyamuanga ati mutule ingolwema mu bhicha bhya bheigisibhwa nolwo bhalata bheswe nolwo Eswe chitatulile kwikomesha?
Now therefore why do you tempt God, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11 Nawe echikilisha ati echelulwa Kulwe chigongo cha Latabugenyi YESU kutyo bhaliga bhali.
But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are."
12 Elikofyanyisho lyona lya jibhie anu bhaliga nibhamutegelesha Barnaba naPaulo anu bhaliga nibhasosha emisango ebhibhalikisho ne bhilugulo ebhyo Nyamuanga akolele amwi nabho agati ya bhanu bha maanga.
And all the people kept quiet, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.
13 Bhejile bhasiga okuloma, Yakobo nabhasubhya,”Abhasu mutegeleshe.
After they were silent, James answered, "Brothers, listen to me.
14 Simoni nabhelesha kwo kutyo Nyamuanga we chigongo abhasakie abhanyamaanga koleleki ati ebhonele okusoka ku bhanu webhwe kwa insonga ya lisina lyae.
Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations, to take out of them a people for his name.
15 Emisango ja abhalagi ejikilishanya na linu lyandikilwe.
This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
16 ingulu ye misango jinu enisubha no kumbhaka lindi liyema lya Daudi. linu liguye ansi; enimusha no kuosha obhunyamuke bhalyo,
'After these things I will return; and I will rebuild the tabernacle of David that has fallen, and I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it,
17 koleleki ati abhanu abho basigae bhamuige Latabugenyi, amwi na abhanu bha maanga abho bhabhilikiwe kwi Sina lyani.
that the rest of humanity may seek after the Lord, and all the nations who are called by my name, says the Lord, who makes these things
18 Kutyo nikwo kutyo kaika Latabugenyi oyo akolele emisango jinu ejibhonekana okusoka munaku ja kala. (aiōn g165)
known from long ago.' (aiōn g165)
19 kwibhyo woli, obhusombhosi bhani nati, chitaja kubhanyasha abhanu bha maanga abho bhamuindukie Nyamuanga;
"Therefore my judgment is that we do not trouble those from among the non-Jewish people who turn to God,
20 Mbe nawe chandike kubhene ati bhekenge kula obhujabhi bhwe bhisusano, na jinabha jo obhulomesi, nebhyo kunyigwa, ne chamba
but that we write to them that they abstain from things defiled by idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.
21 Okusoka ku lwibhulo lwa bhakaluka bhalio abhanu ku bhuli musi abhamusimula no kumwaika Musa mumekofyanyisho bhuli Sabhato.”
For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who proclaim him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath."
22 Kulwejo nijibhonekana ati jabhakondelesha jintumwa na bhakaluka, amwi na ikanisa yona okumwaula Yuda oyo aga nabhilikilwa Barsaba, na Silas, abho baliga bhatangasha bha Likanisa, no kubhatuma Antiokia amwi na Paulo na Barnaba.
Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.
23 Nibhandika kutya, “Jintumwa, abhakaluka na bhasu, ku bhasu abhanyamaanga abho bhali Antiokia, Shamu na kilikia, enibhakesha.
They wrote these things by their hand: "The apostles, the elders, and the brothers, to the non-Jewish brothers who are in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.
24 Chonguywe ati bhanu bhalebhe abho chitabhayanile ebhilangilo ebho, bhasokekele kweswe mbabhanyasha kwa meigisho ago agaleta Jinyako mu mitima jebhwe.
Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, to whom we gave no commandment;
25 Kulwejo ebhibha bhye kisi kwiswe Bona okusola abhanu no kubhatuma kwemwe amwi na bhendwa bheswe Barnaba na Paulo,
it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 Abhanu abho bhasigalisishe obhulame bhwebhwe kulwa lisina lya Latabugenyi Yesu Kristo.
who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah.
27 Kulwejo chamutuma Yuda na sila, abhaja obhabhwila emisango ejo ejo.
We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
28 okubha bhabhonekene bhe kisi ku Mwoyo Mwelu na kwiswe, okusiga okutao ingulu yemwe emijigo minene kukila emisango ejo jili ja bhusi bhusi
For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
29 Ati muinduke musige ebhinu bhinu ebhisosibhwa ku bhisusano, e chamba ne bhinu byo kunyigwa, no bhulomesi. Mkabha kula na bhinu ebhibha bye kisi kwimwe. Mubheoga kwa kisi.”
that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell."
30 kwibhyo, Bhejile bhabhanyalabhula, bhatukie Antiokia; Bhejile bhakumanya elikofyanyisho amwi, Mbe nibhasila Inyalubha.
So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch, and having gathered the congregation together, they delivered the letter.
31 Bhejile bhakaisoma, nibhakondelwa ku nsonga bhasilisibhwe omwoyo.
When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
32 Yuda na sila na abhalagi mbhabhasilisha omwoyo abhasu kwe misango myafu no kubhatamo amanaga.
Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words, and strengthened them.
33 Bejile bhakeyanja mwanya mulebhe eyo, bhabhanyalabue kwo mulembhe okusoka ku bhasu ku bhalia abho bhatumilwe.
After they had spent some time there, they were sent back with greetings from the brothers to those that had sent them forth.
34 [Mbe nawe jabhee je kisi sila okusigala eyo].
However, Silas decided to remain there.
35 Mbe nawe Paulo na bhandi abho bhekae Antiokia amwi na bhandi bhafu, anu bheigisishe no kusimula omusango gwa Latabugenyi.
And Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming the word of the Lord, with many others also.
36 Jejile jatulao naku nyafuo Paulo naika na Barnaba,” Woli chisubhe no kubhalibhatila abhasu bhulimusi no kusimula omusango gwa Latabugenyi, no kubhagonya kutyo bhali.
After some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let us return now and visit our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing."
37 Barnaba aliga nenda okumugega lindi abhe amwi nabho Yohana unu atogwaga Marko.
Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
38 Mbe nawe Paulo eganilisishe ati jitali je kisi okumugega Marko, abho asigile eyo Pamfilia na atagendele nabho mu milimu.
But Paul did not think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and did not go with them to do the work.
39 Okumala ao jibhonekanao jimamba jo okubhambhashanya bhunene kulwejo mbhaukana, Mbe Barnaba namugega Marko no kugenda mu Meli kukinga Kipro.
Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him, and sailed away to Cyprus,
40 Mbe nawe Paulo amusolele sila no kugenda, ejil e ayanwa na wasu mu chigogo cha Latabugenyi.
but Paul chose Silas, and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord.
41 agendele atulile Shamu na kilikia, nakomesha amakanisa.
He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
