Imbombo incha Vasuhwa 11
1 Avasuhwa na valukolo avavale khu Yudea vakhapulikha ukhuta avanyapanji vupilile eilimenyu lya Nguluve.
Now the Apostles, and the brethren in various parts of Judaea, heard that the Gentiles also had received God's Message;
2 U Peteli vu ein'chile ukhu khu Yelusalemu, eikhipuga kya vanu avagolofu vakhanja ukhuben'cha, Nukhun'chova,
and, when Peter returned to Jerusalem, the champions of circumcision found fault with him.
3 “Wibatine na vanu avasavagolofu nu khulya navo!”
"You went into the houses of men who are not Jews," they said, "and you ate with them."
4 Pu uPeteli akhatengula ukhunchova eilihumile; akhata,
Peter, however, explained the whole matter to them from the beginning.
5 “Nele khweisaya mkhilunga kya khuu Yafa, nei khalolo einyevonelo mu kyombo fikhwikha pasi nduu mwenda umbaha ugugukhwikha ukhuhuma khu kianya ingutu n'choni a'chwine. Khikhwikha khuliune.
"While I was in the town of Jaffa, offering prayer," he said, "in a trance I saw a vision. There descended what seemed to be an enormous sail, being let down from the sky by ropes at the four corners, and it came close to me.
6 Nikhalola nukhusaga pakianya pa kiene. Nei khavona ifikanu ifinyamalunde gane ifitama pasi pakhilunga nifikanu mwinyasi nifikanu itifi khwa fula ni fidege ifya khukianya.
Fixing my eyes on it, I examined it closely, and saw various kinds of quadrupeds, wild beasts, reptiles and birds.
7 Nikha pulikha eisavuti yin'chova nune, “Sisimukha, Peteli, un'chinje ulye!”
I also heard a voice saying to me, "'Rise, Peter, kill and eat.'
8 Nikhata, “Siyo ewo, Daada, mundomo gwango sakhingile eikhinu kyu kyoni eikhivivi neikhi n'chafu”
"'On no account, Lord,' I replied, 'for nothing unholy or impure has ever gone into my mouth.'
9 Pu eisavuti yekhan'chova ukhuhuma Khukianya, kheila Unguluve avalin'che savuwesya ukhuta kheivivi,
"But a voice answered, speaking a second time from the sky, "'What God has purified, you must not regard as unholy.'
10 Ei ye yakhahumile mala kha datu, khila khinu khekhatoliwa khu kianya khavili.
"This was said three times, and then everything was drawn up again out of sight.
11 Ukhulola, avanu vadatu vimile khuvulongolo khunyumba umutwale vasuhiwe ukhuma khu Kaisalia ukhwincha khuliune.
"Now at that very moment three men came to the house where we were, having been sent from Caesarea to find me.
12 Umepo akhambula ukhuluta navo, neisite ukhukalan'chana navo. Ava gosi sita vakhaluta paninie nune lwalutile munyumba ya munu yumo.
And the Spirit told me to accompany them without any misgivings. There also went with me these six brethren who are now present, and we reached the Centurion's house.
13 Akhativula umwambonile usuhwa va Nguluve umu eimile munyumba ya mwene akhata(akhanchova), ““Nitume Yafa nisuhe khwa simoni uyu eilitawa eilenge vii Peteli.
Then he described to us how he had seen the angel come and enter his house and say, "'Send to Jaffa and fetch Simon, surnamed Peter.
14 Inchova eilimenyu khuliuve ei limunyu eilelikhukhupokha uvene nyumba yakhoyoni.”
He will teach you truths by which you and all your family will be saved.'"
15 Vunetangule ukhun'chova navyo, Umepo umbalan'che akhadega khuvene nduvu ainchile khuliufye khuvutengulilo.
"And," said Peter, "no sooner had I begun to speak than the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as He fell upon us at the first.
16 Nikhumbukha amamenyu ga Nguluve, agaan'chovile, “uYohani aonchaga na magasi, leno nkhwonchaga nu Mepo Umbalan'che.”
Then I remembered the Lord's words, how He used to say, "'John baptized with water, but you shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit.'
17 Nduvu Unguluve ahumin'che eisawadi nduvu atupile ufye vatweidikhe mwa Kelisiti uYesu, une nene veni, niwesya ukhuben'cha Unguluve?
"If therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we first believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, why, who was I to be able to thwart God?"
18 Vuvapulikha imbombo n'chi, savakhavuncha, vakhagimwa Unguluve nu khun'chova, “Unguluve ahumin'che uvusyikhila khuvanjapanji vope”
This statement of Peter's silenced his opponents. They extolled the goodness of God, and said, "So, then, to the Gentiles also God has given the repentance which leads to Life."
19 Puvakhidikhi eitabu eiyatengwile ukhuhuma khuvofye khwa Sitefani vayaganikhe ukhuhuma khu Yelusalemu- aveidikhi ava vakhaluta khutali, khuu Foinike, Kipro nakhu Antiokia. Vakhavavula eilimenyu lya Yesu mwene khuvayahudi nasyoo khu vanu avange vuvoni.
Those, however, who had been driven in various directions by the persecution which broke out on account of Stephen made their way to Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, delivering the Message to none but Jews.
20 Pa khuva avanu avange vahumile khu Kipro na khu Krene, vainchile khu Antiokia nukhun'chova navayunani nukhundumbilila uYesu.
But some of them were Cyprians and Cyrenaeans, who, on coming to Antioch, spoke to the Greeks also and told them the Good News concerning the Lord Jesus.
21 Nikhivokho kya Nguluve kyale paninie navene, na vanu vingi vakhedikha nukupindukhila Unguluve.
The power of the Lord was with them, and there were a vast number who believed and turned to the Lord.
22 Imbombo n'cha vene n'chii khafikha mumbula khutun'cha tembile yakhu Yelusalemu: nukhusuha uBarnaba alute khu Antiokia.
When tidings of this reached the ears of the Church in Jerusalem, they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch.
23 Vu einchile nukhulola eikhikungilwa kya Nguluve akhahovokha nukhuvapa amakha voni ukhusigala nu Nguluve munumbula n'cha vene.
On getting there he was delighted to see the grace which God had bestowed; and he encouraged them all to remain, with fixed resolve, faithful to the Lord.
24 Pakhuva alie munu iinonu adin'chine Umepo Umbalan'che vakhongelela mwa Kilisti.
For he was a good man, and was full of the Holy Spirit and of faith; and the number of believers in the Lord greatly increased.
25 Pongela uBarnaba akhatuta khu Tarso khukhombona uSavuli.
Then Barnabas paid a visit to Tarsus to try to find Saul.
26 Vu ambwene akhagega khu Antiokia. Yikhava umwakha uguge vakhalundamana paninie nei tembile nukhuvamanyisya avanu vingi. Na vakongi vakhilangiwa vakelesiti avatan'chii khu Antiokia.
He succeeded, and brought him to Antioch; and for a whole year they attended the meetings of the Church, and taught a large number of people. And it was in Antioch that the disciples first received the name of 'Christians.'
27 Pu isikhu in'cho avasuhwa vakhikha ukhuhuma khu Yelusalemu vakhafikha khu Antiokia.
At that time certain Prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch,
28 Uninie yumo vi Agabo lyu litawa lya mwene, akhima nukhuvuliwa nu Mepo ukhuta khuiva ne njala eing'ala yihumila mukhilunga kyoni. Eiyei yihumila usikhe gwa Kraudio.
one of whom, named Agabus, being instructed by the Spirit, publicly predicted the speedy coming of a great famine throughout the world. (It came in the reign of Claudius.)
29 Pu khila ikongi yumo uvei anogile alamwile ukhumlekha uvutangili khuvalukolo lwe avalekhu Vuyahudi.
So the disciples decided to send relief, every one in proportion to his means, to the brethren living in Judaea.
30 Vavombile ewe; Vakhahumya ihela khukhivokho kya Barnabva nu Savuli.
This they did, forwarding their contributions to the Elders by Barnabas and Saul.
