Ebhikolwa bhya Jintumwa 15
1 Abhanu bhalebhe bhatelemukile okusoka mu Bhuyaudi no kwiingisha abhasu, nibhaika, mukalema “okutendwa kutyo ebhilagilo bha Musa, mtakutula okwelulwa.”
And certain men who came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye 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.
When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, should go 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,
And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy to all the brethren.
4 bhejile bhakaja Yerusalemu, bhakalibhisibhwe na Likanisa na jintumwa na abhakaluka, no kukingya emisango jona jinu Nyamuanga akolele amwi nabho.
And when they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and by the apostles and elders, and they declared 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 there rose certain of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
6 kwibhyo jintumwa na bhakaluka bhemeleguyu amwi mbaliganilisha lisango linu.
And the apostles and elders came together to consider of 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.
And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose, and said to them, Men, brethren, ye know that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
8 Nyamuanga, unu kamenya emyoyo, kabhambhalila ku bhene, kabhayana Mwoyo mwelu, kutyo akolele kweswe;
And God, who knoweth the hearts, bore them witness, giving to them the Holy Spirit, even as he did to us;
9 no kukonja ubhuteshanya agati yeswe na bhene, najikola emyoyo jebhwe okubha mwelu ne likilisha.
And put no difference between us and them, purifying 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 tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon 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 through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
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.
Then all the multitude kept silence, and hearkened to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought by them among the Gentiles.
13 Bhejile bhasiga okuloma, Yakobo nabhasubhya,”Abhasu mutegeleshe.
And after they held their peace, James answered, saying, Men, brethren, hearken 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 hath declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles, to take from among them a people for his name.
15 Emisango ja abhalagi ejikilishanya na linu lyandikilwe.
And to this agree 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 this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again its ruins, and I will set it up:
17 koleleki ati abhanu abho basigae bhamuige Latabugenyi, amwi na abhanu bha maanga abho bhabhilikiwe kwi Sina lyani.
That the rest of men may seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
18 Kutyo nikwo kutyo kaika Latabugenyi oyo akolele emisango jinu ejibhonekana okusoka munaku ja kala. (aiōn g165)
Known to God are all his works from the beginning of the world. (aiōn g165)
19 kwibhyo woli, obhusombhosi bhani nati, chitaja kubhanyasha abhanu bha maanga abho bhamuindukie Nyamuanga;
Therefore my judgment is, that we trouble not them, who from among the Gentiles are turned 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 pollutions of idols, and from immorality, and from things strangled, and from blood.
21 Okusoka ku lwibhulo lwa bhakaluka bhalio abhanu ku bhuli musi abhamusimula no kumwaika Musa mumekofyanyisho bhuli Sabhato.”
For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach 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 pleased the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren:
23 Nibhandika kutya, “Jintumwa, abhakaluka na bhasu, ku bhasu abhanyamaanga abho bhali Antiokia, Shamu na kilikia, enibhakesha.
And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting to the brethren who are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia:
24 Chonguywe ati bhanu bhalebhe abho chitabhayanile ebhilangilo ebho, bhasokekele kweswe mbabhanyasha kwa meigisho ago agaleta Jinyako mu mitima jebhwe.
Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain who went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such 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, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 Abhanu abho bhasigalisishe obhulame bhwebhwe kulwa lisina lya Latabugenyi Yesu Kristo.
Men that have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Kulwejo chamutuma Yuda na sila, abhaja obhabhwila emisango ejo ejo.
We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by 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 upon you no greater burden 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 ye abstain from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from immorality: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
30 kwibhyo, Bhejile bhabhanyalabhula, bhatukie Antiokia; Bhejile bhakumanya elikofyanyisho amwi, Mbe nibhasila Inyalubha.
So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:
31 Bhejile bhakaisoma, nibhakondelwa ku nsonga bhasilisibhwe omwoyo.
Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
32 Yuda na sila na abhalagi mbhabhasilisha omwoyo abhasu kwe misango myafu no kubhatamo amanaga.
And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.
33 Bejile bhakeyanja mwanya mulebhe eyo, bhabhanyalabue kwo mulembhe okusoka ku bhasu ku bhalia abho bhatumilwe.
And after they had tarried there a time, they were sent away in peace from the brethren to the apostles.
34 [Mbe nawe jabhee je kisi sila okusigala eyo].
However it pleased Silas to abide there still.
35 Mbe nawe Paulo na bhandi abho bhekae Antiokia amwi na bhandi bhafu, anu bheigisishe no kusimula omusango gwa Latabugenyi.
Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching 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.
And some days after Paul said to Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, and see how they do.
37 Barnaba aliga nenda okumugega lindi abhe amwi nabho Yohana unu atogwaga Marko.
And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.
38 Mbe nawe Paulo eganilisishe ati jitali je kisi okumugega Marko, abho asigile eyo Pamfilia na atagendele nabho mu milimu.
But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
39 Okumala ao jibhonekanao jimamba jo okubhambhashanya bhunene kulwejo mbhaukana, Mbe Barnaba namugega Marko no kugenda mu Meli kukinga Kipro.
And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed to Cyprus;
40 Mbe nawe Paulo amusolele sila no kugenda, ejil e ayanwa na wasu mu chigogo cha Latabugenyi.
And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being commended by the brethren to the grace of God.
41 agendele atulile Shamu na kilikia, nakomesha amakanisa.
And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
