Matendo ya Mitume 13
1 Henu mu kanisa lya Antiokia pajhele n baadhi jha manabii ni bhalimu. Bhajhele Barnaba, Simeoni (jhaakutisbhu Nigeri). Lukio wa Kirene, Manaeni (Ndongo jha abeli kujha ghwa damu ghwa Herode kiongozi ghwa mkoa), ni Sauli.
Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2 Bho bhakamwabudu Bwana ni kufunga, Roho mtakatifu ajobhili, “Munitengelayi palubhafu Barnba ni Sauli bhaibhombayi mbombo jha nibhakutili.”
As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.
3 Baada jha kanisa kufunga, kus'oka, ni kubheka mabhoko gha bhene panani pa bhanu abha bhakabhaleka bhalotayi.
And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
4 Kwa hiyo Barnabasi ni Sauli bhantiijhi Roho mtakatifu na bhaselili kulota seleukia; kuhomela okhu bhasafiri mu bahari kulotela kisiwa kya Kipro.
So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed to Seleucia; and from there they sailed to Cyprus.
5 Bho bhajhe mu mji ghwa Salami, bhalitangasili lilobhi lya K'yara mu masinagogi gha bhayahudi. Pia bhajhele pamonga ni Yohana Marko kama msaidizi ghwa bhene.
And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to their minister.
6 Bho bhalolili katika kisiwa kyoha mpaka Pafo, bhan'kolili munufulani mmabhi Myahudi nabii ghwa bhudesi ambajhe lihina lya muene lyajhele Bar Yesu.
And when they had gone through the isle to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:
7 Mmabhi ojho ashirikiene ni liwali Sergio Paulus, jha ajhele munu mwenye luhala. Munu ojho abhaaliki Barnaba ni Sauli kwandabha alondeghe kupeleka lilobhi lya K'yara.
Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.
8 Lakini Elima “mmabhi jhola” (Naha ndo lihina lya muene kya lyatafsiribhu) abhapingili; ajaribu kugeusya liwali jhola abhoka mu imani.
But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
9 Lakini Sauli jha akutibhweghe Paulo, ajhele amemesibhu Roho mtakatifu, akan'kazila mihu
Then Saul, (who also is called Paul, ) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him.
10 ni kujobha, “Ewe muana ghwa ibilisi umemesibhu ni aina syoha sya udesi ni udhaifu. Bhebhe ndo adui ghwa kila aina jha haki. Wibetalepi kuleka kusigeusya nj'ela sya Bwana, syasinyeokili je, wibeta kubhwenya?
And said, O full of all subtlety and all mischief, you child of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
11 Henu langayi, kibhoko kya Bwana kijhe panani pa jhobhi, na wibeta kujha kipofu. Wibetalepi kulibhona lijobha kwa muda “Mara jhejhuejhu ukungu ni ngisi fyabinili panani pa Elimasi; akajhanda kusyngoka pala kus'oka bhanu bhandongo syajhi kwa kun'kamula kibhoko.
And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
12 Baada jha liwali kubhona kya kitokili akyelili kwandabha asyangesibhu kwa mafundisu kuhusu Bwana.
Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
13 Henu Paulo ni rafiki bha muene bhasafiri mjini kuhoma Pafo na bhafikiri Perge mu Pamfilia. Lakini Yohana akabhaleka ni kukerebhuka Yerusalemu.
Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.
14 Paulo ni rafiki yake bhasafiri kuhoma Perge na bhafikili Antiokia jha Pisidia. Okhu bhalotili mu sinagogi ligono lya sabato ni kutama pasi.
But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
15 Baada jha kusoma sheria ni manabii bhalongosi bha sinagogi abhakalaghisili ujumbe bhakajobha, “Ndongo, kama mujhe ni ujumbe bhwa kupela muoyo bhanu apa, mujobhayi”
And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, You men and brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
16 Kwa hiyo Paulo akajhema ni kubhapungila kibhoko; akajobha, “Bhagosi bha Israeli ni mwamukan'tii K'yara, mupelekisiajhi.
Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and you that fear God, give audience.
17 K'yara ghwa abha bhanu bha Israeli abhachaguili bha dadijhitu ni kubhabhomba bhanu bhamehele bho bhitama mu nchi jha Misri na kwa kibhoko kya muene kujhinulibhwa abhalonguisi kwibhala kwa muene.
The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelled as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.
18 Kwa miaka arobaini abhavumilili pa jangwa.
And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.
19 Baada jha kughaharibu mataifa saba pa nchi jha kaanani, abhapelili bhanu bha tete nchi jha bhene kwa urithi.
And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.
20 Matukio agha ghoha ghatokili zaidi jha miaka mia nne na hamsini. Baada jha fenu efe fyoka, K'yara abhapelili bhaamuzi mpaka Samweli Nabii.
And after that he gave to them judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
21 Baada jha agha, bhanu bhasokili mfalme, hiyo K'yara abhapelili Sauli mwana ghwa Kishi munu ghwa kabila lya Benjamini, kujha mfalme ghwa miaka arobaini.
And afterward they desired a king: and God gave to them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.
22 Kisha baada jhe K'yara kumbosya mu ufalme an'jinuili Daydi kujha mfalme ghwa bhene. Jhajhele kuhusu Daudi kwamba K'yara ajobhili, 'Nin'kabhili Daudi mwana ghwa Yese kujha munu jha aganikibhu ni muoyo bhwa nene; ambaye ibeta kubhomba khila khenu kyanilonda.
And when he had removed him, he raised up to them David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, which shall fulfill all my will.
23 Kuhomela mu lukholo lwa munu ojho K'yara ajhiletili Israeli mkombozi Yesu, kama kya ahidi kubhomba.
Of this man’s seed has God according to his promise raised to Israel a Savior, Jesus:
24 Ele lyabhwajhili kuhomele, kabla jha Yesu kuhida Yohana kwanza atangasili ubatisu bhwa toba kwa bhanu bhoha bha Israeli.
When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25 Nu muene Yohana bho imalisila mbombo jha muene, ajobhili, 'Mwifikiri nene ne niani? Nene ne jhola lepi. Lakini map'elekesiajhi jhaibe takuhida kumbele jha nene, nilondekalepi kuhobhosya filatu fya muene mu magolo.
And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think you that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there comes one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.
26 Ndongo bhana bha lukholo lwa Abrahamu, ni bhala ambabho kati jha muenga mukamwabudu K'yara, kwandabha jha tete kwamba ujumbe obho bhwa ukombozi ulaghisibhu.
Men and brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and whoever among you fears God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
27 Kwa bhala bhabhitama Yerusalemu, ni bhatawala bha bhene bhan'tambuili lep kwa bhuhalisia, na bhwala bhan'tambuili lepi ujumbe bhwa manabii kwa kun'hukumu kifo Yesu.
For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.
28 Japokuwa bhakabhilepi sababu jhinofu jha kifo mugati mwa muene bhakan'soka Pilato an'komayi.
And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
29 Bho bhamalili mamboghohe ghaghalembibhu kuhusu muene, bhakan'selesya mu libehe ni kungoneka mu likaburi.
And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulcher.
30 Lakini K'yara amfufuili kuhoma kwa bhafu.
But God raised him from the dead:
31 Abhonekana kwa magono ghamehele kwa bhala bhabhalotili pamonga ni muene kuhoma Galilaya kulotela Yerusalemu. Bhanu abha henu ndo mashahidi bhabhanu.
And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.
32 Hivyo tukabhaletela habari jhinofu kuhusu ahadi sya bhapelibhu bhakhokho bhitu.
And we declare to you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made to the fathers,
33 K'yara abhakili ahadi e'se kwa tete, bhana bhabhi, kwa e'lu amfufuili Yessu ni kun'kerebhusya kabhele mu uhai. E'le kabhele lyalembibhu mu Zaburi, jha pili; Bhebhe ghwe mwanabhangu lelu njele ne Dadijhu.
God has fulfilled the same to us their children, in that he has raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, You are my Son, this day have I begotten you.
34 Kabhele kuhusu bhukweli ni kwamba amfufuili kuhomela kwa bhafu ili kwamba mb'ele ghwa muene usiharibiki, alongili naha. Nibeta kup'ela utakatifu ni baraka halisi sya Daudi.
And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.
35 Ejhe ndo sababu jha kujobha kabhele mu Zaburi jh'enge, ghwibetalepi ni husu mtakatifu ghwa jhobhi kubhubhona uozo.'
Why he says also in another psalm, You shall not suffer your Holy One to see corruption.
36 Kwa kujha baada jha Daudi kutumikila mapenzi gha K'yara pa kizazi kya muene, agonili agonesibhu pamonga ni bha dsdi jhabhi, na abhubhwene uharibifu,
For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid to his fathers, and saw corruption:
37 Lakini jhaafufulibh ni K'yara aubhwelepi uharibifu.
But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
38 Efyo na imanyikanayi kwa muenga, ndongo, kup'etela munu ojho, n'samaha ghwa dhambi uhubiribhu.
Be it known to you therefore, men and brothers, that through this man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins:
39 Kwa muene khila jhaiamini ibhalangibhwa haki kwa mambo ghoha ambagho sheria jha Musa ngajhibhepelilepi haki.
And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40 Hivyo basi mujhelayi bhaangalifu kwamba khenu kya bhakilongelili manabii kisihomeli kwa jhomu:
Beware therefore, lest that come on you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
41 Langayi, enyi bha mwidharau, na mkasya nngalayi ni kujhangamila; kwa vile nibhomba mbombo ambayo mwibhwesya lepi kujhikiera, hata kama munu ibetakubhajhelesya.
Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it to you.
42 Bwakati Paulo ni Barnaba bho bhabhokili, bhanu bhakabhas'oka bhelongelayi malobhi agha ligono lya sabato ijayo.
And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles sought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.
43 Bwakati mkutano wa sinagogi bho bhumaliki Bhayahudi bhingi ni bhaongofu thabiti bhabhakesisi Paulo ni Barnaba, ambabho bhalongili nabhu na bhabhahimizi bhajhendelelayi mu neema jha K'yara.
Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
44 Sabato jhajhafwatili karibu mji bhuoha bhwabhonganiki kupeleka litobhi lya K'yara.
And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
45 Bhayahudi bho bhabhuene makutano, bhajhe ni bhwifu ni kulongela malobhi ghaghapingili fenu fyafijobhibhu ni Paulo na bhindighili.
But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spoke against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
46 Lakini Paulo ni Barnaba bhalongili kwa ujasiri ni kujobha, “Jhajhemuhimu kwamba lilobhi lya K'yara lilongelibhwayi kwanza henu. Kwa kujha mkalisukumila patali kuhomela kwa muenga ni kwibhona kujha mkastahililepi uzima bhwa milele mulangayi twibeta kubhageukila mataifa. (aiōnios g166)
Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing you put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, see, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
47 Kama vile Bwana kya atuamuamuili, akajobha, Nibhabhekili muenga kama nuru kwa bhanu bha mataifa, kwamba mletayi wokovu kwa pande syoha sya dunia.”
For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set you to be a light of the Gentiles, that you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.
48 Mataifa bho bhap'eliki e'le, bhahobhelili ni kulisifila lilobhi lya Bwana. Bhingi bha bhasalibhu kwa uzima bhwa milele bhakyeriri. (aiōnios g166)
And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)
49 Lilobhi lya Bwana lyaenili nchi jhioha.
And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.
50 Lakini Bhayahudi bhabhasokili bhabhakihomisi ni bhadala muhimu, kabhele ni bhalongosi bha mji. Agha ghachochili malombosi dhidi jha Paulo ni Barnaba na bhabhataghili kwibhala kumipaka ghya mji.
But the Jews stirred up the devout and honorable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.
51 Lakini ni Paulo ni Barnaba bhakung'utili lifu mafumbi lya magolo gha bhene. Kisha bhalotili mu mji bhwa Ikonia.
But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
52 Ni bhanafunzi bhamemili ni furaha pamonga ni Roho mtakatifu.
And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
