Ebhikolwa bhya Jintumwa 15
1 Abhanu bhalebhe bhatelemukile okusoka mu Bhuyaudi no kwiingisha abhasu, nibhaika, mukalema “okutendwa kutyo ebhilagilo bha Musa, mtakutula okwelulwa.”
But certain persons who had come down from Judaea tried to convince the brethren, saying, "Unless you are circumcised in accordance with the Mosaic custom, 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.
Between these new comers and Paul and Barnabas there was no little disagreement and controversy, until at last it was decided that Paul and Barnabas and some other brethren should go up to consult the Apostles and Elders in Jerusalem on this matter.
3 Kulwejo, kwo kutumwa kwebhe na Likanisa, bhalabhile Foinike na Samaria mbhalasha okuindulwa kwe mioyo ja bhanyamaanga. Bhaletele ekondelwa enene ku bhasu bhona,
So they set out, being accompanied for a short distance by some other members of the Church; and as they passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, they told the whole story of the conversion of the Gentiles and inspired all the brethren with great joy.
4 bhejile bhakaja Yerusalemu, bhakalibhisibhwe na Likanisa na jintumwa na abhakaluka, no kukingya emisango jona jinu Nyamuanga akolele amwi nabho.
Upon their arrival in Jerusalem they were cordially received by the Church, the Apostles, and the Elders; and they reported in detail all that God, working with them, had done.
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 certain men who had belonged to the sect of the Pharisees but were now believers, stood up in the assembly, and said, "Yes, Gentile believers ought to be circumcised and be ordered to keep the Law of Moses."
6 kwibhyo jintumwa na bhakaluka bhemeleguyu amwi mbaliganilisha lisango linu.
Then the Apostles and Elders met to consider the 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 after there had been a long discussion Peter rose to his feet. "It is within your own knowledge," he said, "that God originally made choice among you that from my lips the Gentiles were to hear the Message of the Good News, and believe.
8 Nyamuanga, unu kamenya emyoyo, kabhambhalila ku bhene, kabhayana Mwoyo mwelu, kutyo akolele kweswe;
And God, who knows all hearts, gave His testimony in their favour by bestowing the Holy Spirit on them just as He did on us;
9 no kukonja ubhuteshanya agati yeswe na bhene, najikola emyoyo jebhwe okubha mwelu ne likilisha.
and He made no difference between us and them, in that He cleansed their hearts by their faith.
10 kwibhyo, kubhaki omumulegeja Nyamuanga ati mutule ingolwema mu bhicha bhya bheigisibhwa nolwo bhalata bheswe nolwo Eswe chitatulile kwikomesha?
Now, therefore, why try an experiment upon God, by laying on the necks of these disciples a yoke which neither our forefathers nor we have been able to bear?
11 Nawe echikilisha ati echelulwa Kulwe chigongo cha Latabugenyi YESU kutyo bhaliga bhali.
On the contrary, we believe that it is by the grace of the Lord Jesus that we, as well as they, shall be saved."
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 the whole assembly remained silent while they listened to the statement made by Paul and Barnabas as to all the signs and marvels that God had done among the Gentiles through their instrumentality.
13 Bhejile bhasiga okuloma, Yakobo nabhasubhya,”Abhasu mutegeleshe.
When they had finished speaking, James said, "Brethren, 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.
Symeon has related how God first looked graciously on the Gentiles to take from among them a People to be called by His name.
15 Emisango ja abhalagi ejikilishanya na linu lyandikilwe.
And this is in harmony with the language of the Prophets, which says:
16 ingulu ye misango jinu enisubha no kumbhaka lindi liyema lya Daudi. linu liguye ansi; enimusha no kuosha obhunyamuke bhalyo,
"'"Afterwards I will return, and will rebuild David's fallen tent. Its ruins I will rebuild, and I will set it up again;
17 koleleki ati abhanu abho basigae bhamuige Latabugenyi, amwi na abhanu bha maanga abho bhabhilikiwe kwi Sina lyani.
In order that the rest of mankind may earnestly seek the Lord--even all the nations which are called by My name,"
18 Kutyo nikwo kutyo kaika Latabugenyi oyo akolele emisango jinu ejibhonekana okusoka munaku ja kala. (aiōn g165)
Says the Lord, who has been making these things known from ages long past.' (aiōn g165)
19 kwibhyo woli, obhusombhosi bhani nati, chitaja kubhanyasha abhanu bha maanga abho bhamuindukie Nyamuanga;
"My judgement, therefore, is against inflicting unexpected annoyance on those of the Gentiles who are turning to God.
20 Mbe nawe chandike kubhene ati bhekenge kula obhujabhi bhwe bhisusano, na jinabha jo obhulomesi, nebhyo kunyigwa, ne chamba
Yet let us send them written instructions to abstain from things polluted by connexion with idolatry, from fornication, from meat killed by strangling, and from blood.
21 Okusoka ku lwibhulo lwa bhakaluka bhalio abhanu ku bhuli musi abhamusimula no kumwaika Musa mumekofyanyisho bhuli Sabhato.”
For Moses from the earliest times has had his preachers in every town, being read, as he is, Sabbath after Sabbath, in the various synagogues."
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.
Thereupon it was decided by the Apostles and Elders, with the approval of the whole Church, to choose suitable persons from among themselves and send them to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas. Judas, called Bar-sabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren, were selected,
23 Nibhandika kutya, “Jintumwa, abhakaluka na bhasu, ku bhasu abhanyamaanga abho bhali Antiokia, Shamu na kilikia, enibhakesha.
and they took with them the following letter: "The Apostles and the elder brethren send greeting to the Gentile brethren throughout Antioch, Syria and Cilicia.
24 Chonguywe ati bhanu bhalebhe abho chitabhayanile ebhilangilo ebho, bhasokekele kweswe mbabhanyasha kwa meigisho ago agaleta Jinyako mu mitima jebhwe.
As we have been informed that certain persons who have gone out from among us have disturbed you by their teaching and have unsettled your minds, without having received any such instructions from us;
25 Kulwejo ebhibha bhye kisi kwiswe Bona okusola abhanu no kubhatuma kwemwe amwi na bhendwa bheswe Barnaba na Paulo,
we have unanimously decided to select certain men and send them to you in company with our dear friends Barnabas and Paul,
26 Abhanu abho bhasigalisishe obhulame bhwebhwe kulwa lisina lya Latabugenyi Yesu Kristo.
who have endangered their very lives for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Kulwejo chamutuma Yuda na sila, abhaja obhabhwila emisango ejo ejo.
We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who are themselves bringing you the same message 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 has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no burden heavier than these necessary requirements--
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.”
You must abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from fornication. Keep yourselves clear of these things, and it will be well with you. Farewell."
30 kwibhyo, Bhejile bhabhanyalabhula, bhatukie Antiokia; Bhejile bhakumanya elikofyanyisho amwi, Mbe nibhasila Inyalubha.
They, therefore, having been solemnly sent, came down to Antioch, where they called together the whole assembly and delivered the letter.
31 Bhejile bhakaisoma, nibhakondelwa ku nsonga bhasilisibhwe omwoyo.
The people read it, and were delighted with the comfort it brought them.
32 Yuda na sila na abhalagi mbhabhasilisha omwoyo abhasu kwe misango myafu no kubhatamo amanaga.
And Judas and Silas, being themselves also Prophets, gave them a long and encouraging talk, and strengthened them in the faith.
33 Bejile bhakeyanja mwanya mulebhe eyo, bhabhanyalabue kwo mulembhe okusoka ku bhasu ku bhalia abho bhatumilwe.
After spending some time there they received an affectionate farewell from the brethren to return to those who had sent them.
34 [Mbe nawe jabhee je kisi sila okusigala eyo].
35 Mbe nawe Paulo na bhandi abho bhekae Antiokia amwi na bhandi bhafu, anu bheigisishe no kusimula omusango gwa Latabugenyi.
But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, teaching and, in company with many others, telling the Good News of the Lord's Message.
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 a while Paul said to Barnabas, "Suppose we now revisit the brethren in the various towns in which we have made known the Lord's Message--to see whether they are prospering!"
37 Barnaba aliga nenda okumugega lindi abhe amwi nabho Yohana unu atogwaga Marko.
Barnabas, however, was bent on taking with them John, whose other name was Mark,
38 Mbe nawe Paulo eganilisishe ati jitali je kisi okumugega Marko, abho asigile eyo Pamfilia na atagendele nabho mu milimu.
while Paul deemed it undesirable to have as their companion one who had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not gone on 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.
So there arose a serious disagreement between them, which resulted in their parting from one another, Barnabas taking Mark and setting sail for Cyprus.
40 Mbe nawe Paulo amusolele sila no kugenda, ejil e ayanwa na wasu mu chigogo cha Latabugenyi.
But Paul chose Silas as his travelling companion; and set out, after being commended by the brethren to the grace of the Lord;
41 agendele atulile Shamu na kilikia, nakomesha amakanisa.
and he passed through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the Churches.
