Mitendo 11
1 Linu bapositola niba mwabo ba bena mwa Judeya chibazuwa kuti ba Sikunze chibatambula inzwi lye Ireeza.
And the apostles and brethren who were in Jihud heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of Aloha.
2 Linu Pitrosi hakeza kwa Jerusalema, abo bena muchikwata chamupato chiba munyansa;
AND when Shemun had gone up to Urishlem, they who were of the circumcision contended with him,
3 Chibati. “Ubali kopanyi ni bakwame basena mupato ni kulya nabo!”
saying, that unto men uncircumcised he had entered, and had eaten with them.
4 Kono Pitrosi chatanga kubatolokela chakwizula; 'chati,
And Shemun put forth in order to say to them,
5 Nibali kulapela mu muleneñi wa Joppa, imi chinaba ni pono yachintu chikeza hansi, sina isila ikando likeza hansi kuzwa kwiwulu lina tukokolwa tonee. Chichakeza kwangu.
That while praying in Joppa I saw a vision; a certain vessel descended which was like to a sheet, and bound at the four corners: and it came down from heaven and came unto me.
6 China chilolisisa ni kuchizezisisa. Chinabona zinyolozi za matende onne zamu inkanda, zibatana, ziyendisa mabumo, ni zizuni za mwiwulu.
And gazing at it I beheld in it animals of four feet, and reptiles of the earth, and fowls of the heaven.
7 Linu china zuwa inzwi liwamba kwangu, “zimane, Pitrosi; wihaye mi ulye!”
And I heard a voice which said to me, Shemun, arise, slay, and eat.
8 Chinati, “nee; Nanta kanjobulyo, Simwine: kakwina chintu chisachenete kapa china chive chisenjili mukaholo kangu.”
And I said, Not so, my Lord; for nothing hath entered my mouth that is unclean or profane.
9 Kono izwi chilyetaba kuzwilila kwiwulu, “Chalukulula Ireeza chijolola sanzi ucho kuti chinekwe.”
And again the voice said to me from heaven, What Aloha hath cleansed make not thou to be polluted.
10 Izi zibatendahali totatwe, imi linu zintu zonse chizabozwa kwiwulu hape.
This was done three times, and every thing was taken up into heaven.
11 Kamulole, hahanu kwina bakwame botatwe bazimene habusu bwe zubo hatwina; ba bakatumitwe kwa Caesarea kwiza kwangu.
And at that moment three men, who had been sent to me by Cornelius from Cesarea, came and stood at the gate of the court where I was sojourning.
12 Luhuho Lujolola lwanilaela kuti ni yende nabo, imi sanzi niloli kutibenabule. Aba bakwame balikana iyanza niyenke babayendi name, imi tubayendi ni kwinjila muzubo yamukwame.
And the Spirit said to me, Go with them without doubting. And there went also with me these six brethren, and we entered into the man's house.
13 Chatuwambila mwababoneni Iñeloyi ha tuwambila mwaba boneni iñiloi ni lizimene munzubo yakwe ni kucho, “Tumine bakwame kwa Joppa imi mukaboze Simone yo supwa Pitrosi.
And he related to us how he had seen in his house an angel, who stood and said to him, Send to the city Joppa, and bring Shemun who is called Kipha,
14 Mwa wambe kwenu lizwi lyete limihaze - Iwe ni bezubo yako bonse.
and he will speak with thee words by which thou wilt be saved, thou and all thy house.
15 Hani tanga kuwamba kubali, Luhuho Lunjolola chilwasukila kubali, sina njikwetu lwetanzi.
And when I proceeded to speak there, the Spirit of Holiness overshadowed them, as upon us from the beginning.
16 Nibazezi mazwi a Simwine, mwaba wambili, “Joani chabusakusima abakukolobeza chamenzi; kono inwe muswanela kukolobezwa cho Luhuho Lunjolola.”
And I remembered the word of our Lord, who said, Juhanon baptized you with waters, but you shall be baptized with the Spirit of Holiness.
17 Linu haiba Ireeza ababahi impo ziswana ni zetu hatuzumina kwa Simwine Jesu Kreste, njemeni, kuti ni kangisane ni Ireeza?”
If then Aloha equally hath given the gift to the Gentiles who have believed in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha as we, who was I, that I should be sufficient to prohibit Aloha?
18 Habamana kuzuwa izi zintu, kakwina chibaba wambi kulitabilila, Kono ba balumbeki Ireeza ni kuchokuti, “Imi Ireeza abahibulyo inswalelo ya buhalo kubalichaba nabo.”
And when these words they had heard they were silent, and they praised Aloha, and said, Now also unto the Gentiles Aloha hath given repentance unto life.
19 Linu babo babahasani bakeñi cha masukuluka abezi chebaka lyefu lya Sitefani, libahasani mane kutwala kwa Fonisiya, Sipera, ni Antioke, kono chibakutaza linzwi lya Jesu feela ku Majuda.
BUT they who had been dispersed by the tribulation that was concerning Estephanos went unto Punika, also to the region of Kypros and to Antiokia, but with any one not speaking the word unless only with the Jihudoyee.
20 Kono bamwi kubali, bakwame bakwa Sipera, ni Sirene, chibeza kwa Antioke, imi chibawamba bulyo ni ku Magerike, ni ku bawambila mazwi malotu kuamna ni Simwine Jesu.
But of them were men of Kypros and of Kyrine; these entered into Antiokia, and discoursed with the Javnoyee, and evangelized concerning our Lord Jeshu.
21 Imi iyanza lya Simwine libena nabo; bungi bwabo bubazumini ni kubola kwa Simwine.
And the hand of the Lord was with them, and many believed, and were converted unto the Lord.
22 Iñusa kuamana nabo chilyeza mumatwi ye Kereke ya mwa Jerusalema: imi chibatuma Barnabasi kuyenda kule kwa Antioke.
And this was heard by the ears of the sons of the church which was at Urishlem, and they sent Bar Naba to Antiokia.
23 Hakeza ni kwiza kubona impoo ye Ireeza, aba sangi; imi chaba susuweza bonse kwikala ni Simwine chenkulo zabo zonse.
And when he came thither, and beheld the grace of Aloha, he rejoiced, and entreated them with all their heart to cleave to our Lord.
24 Imi abali mukwame yabena sinte wizwile Luhuho Lunjolola ni tumelo, imi bungi bwabantu baba ekezehi kwiza kwa Simwine.
For he was a good man, and full of the Spirit of Holiness and of faith, and there was added much people to our Lord.
25 Barnabasi linu chayenda kwa Tarese, ku kasaka Saule.
And he went forth to Tarsos to seek for Shaol;
26 Hamuwana, cha muleta kwa Antioke. Chikweza kubakuti, mwaaka onse chibali kunganya hamwina ne Kereke hamwina ni kuluta bungi bwabantu. Balutwana babakusumpwa Makereste lwetazi mwa Antioke.
and when he had found him he brought him with him to Antiokia. And a whole year together they assembled in the church, and taught much people: from thence first in Antiokia the disciples were called Christianee.
27 Linu mwa anu mazuva bamwi bapolofita chiba sezumukila kwa Jerusalema kwa Antioke.
And in those days there came from Urishlem thither prophets.
28 Umwina kubali, Agabusi, chezina chazima ni kupolofita cha Luhuho kuti inzala inkando mwi ikanda yonse. Izi ziba kutendahala mumazuba a Klaudiya.
And one of them arose whose name was Agabos: and he made known to them by the Spirit that a great famine would be in all the land. And that famine was in the days of Claudios Caesar.
29 Njokuti, balutwana, sina zumwi ni zumwi habakuwola, chahupula kutumina intuso kubamwakwe mwa Judeya.
Therefore the disciples, according as each of them had, determined to send for the service of those brethren who dwelt in Jihud;
30 Babatendi bulyo, baba tumini mashelenyi kuba kulwana bakeleke chamanza a Barnabasi ni Saule.
and they sent by the hand of Bar Naba and Shaol to the presbyters who were there.
