Mitendo 14

1 Chikwasika inako mwa Ikone, Paulusi ni Barnabasi chivenjila hamwina muma Sinagoge a Majuda, vava wambi mumukwa uchita kuti ma Juda ni Magerike vangi vava zumini.

And it came to pass in Iconium, that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and spoke, so that there believed a great multitude of both Jews and Greeks;

2 Kono ma Juda vasena vavali kukuteka, chiva lyanganisa mihupulo ya va chisi niku letisa kuti vavengele va mwavo.

and the unbelieving Jews stirred up and made the souls of the nations evil against the brothers;

3 Linu chivekala mo mazuva mangi, Nivawamba cha kukola cha ziho za Simwine, mi chaha vushupi cha linzwi lya chisemo. Mi chachita ichi cha kuzuminina zimakaza ni zikomokisa kuti zichitwe cha mayanza a Paulusi ni Barnabasi.

[for a] long time, indeed, therefore, they abided speaking boldly in the LORD, who is testifying to the word of His grace, and granting signs and wonders to come to pass through their hands.

4 Kono vungi bwa vantu vamwi toropo vava kauhene hakati: vamwi vantu vavali kuzima kuma ma Juda mi vamwi kuva Apositola.

And the multitude of the city was divided, and some were with the Jews, and some with the apostles,

5 Mi vonse vasikunze ni ma Juda havavali kulika ku susuweza mihupulo yava yendisi vavo kuti va nyandise niku govola Paulusi ni Barnabasi,

and when there was a purpose both of the nations and of the Jews with their rulers to mistreat [them], and to stone them,

6 Chiva lemuha mi chivatilila kumi leneñi ya Laikoniya, Lisitira ni Derbe, ni zikiliti zi zimbulukite,

they having become aware, fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and the surrounding region,

7 mi uko vavali kuka luta linzwi.

and there they were proclaiming good news.

8 Kwa Listra zuwi mukwame ave kele, kana avali kwina ziho kumatende akwe, avena vuyanga kuzwila mwi vumu liva nyina, asena ava yendi.

And a certain man in Lystra, impotent in the feet, was sitting, being lame from the womb of his mother—who never had walked;

9 Uzu mukwame cha zuwa Paulusi na wamba. Paulusi avamulolelele ahulu mi chavona kuti wina itumelo yaku hozwa,

this one was hearing Paul speaking, who, having steadfastly beheld him, and having seen that he has faith to be saved,

10 Linu chawamba kwali che nzwi ikando, “Zimane chamatende ako.” Mi mukwame cha lotoka mwi wulu niku zimbuluka.

said with a loud voice, “Stand up on your feet upright”; and he was springing and walking,

11 Mi chisi hachi vona chava tendi Paulusi, chivanyemuna manzwi avo, chiva wamba muchi Laukosiya, “Vazimu vakeza hansi kwetu muchizimo chavantu.”

and the multitudes having seen what Paul did, lifted up their voice in the speech of Lycaonia, saying, “The gods, having become like men, came down to us”;

12 Chiva sumpa Banabasi “Zeyuisi” ni Paulusi “Hemesi” kakuti ivali nji muwambi.

they were also calling Barnabas Zeus, and Paul Hermes, since he was the leader in speaking.

13 Mu Prisita va Zeyusi, we tempele ivena kunze kwe tolopo, chaka leta mapulu ni zingalangala ze mpalisa kumulyango. Iye ni chisi vavali kusaka kuha zitavelo.

And the priest of the Zeus that is before their city, having brought oxen and garlands to the porches, wished to sacrifice with the multitudes,

14 Linu va apositola, Barnabasi ni Paulusi, havazi zuwa, chivahalula zizwato zavo mi haho vulyo chiva ya mu chisi, nivakavulila cha kuhuwa,

and having heard, the apostles Barnabas and Paul, having torn their garments, sprung into the multitude, crying

15 mi nivawamba, “Vakwame chinzi hamuchita izi zintu? Naswe tuvantu sina njenwe ni maikuto aswana ni enu. Twaka mi letela makande malotu, akuta kuti muzwe kwezi zintu zisena intuso muvole kwe Ireza yo hala, ya va vumbi iwulu, inkanda, ni mawate mane ni zonse zina mwateni.

and saying, “Men, why do you do these things? And we are similar-feeling men with you, proclaiming good news to you, to turn to the living God from these vanities, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all the things in them;

16 Mwinako zakale avazuminine inkanda zonse kuyenda mwi nzila zavo.

who in the past generations permitted all the nations to go on in their ways,

17 Mi nihakuva vulyo, kana avali siyi nikusena vushupi, mwezo avachiti vulotu mi avamihi invula kuzwa kwi wulu niku mi ha inako indotu, kwizuza inkulo zenu cha zilyo ni kusanga.

though, indeed, He did not leave Himself without witness, doing good—giving rains to us from Heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness”;

18 Mane ni cha a manzi Paulusi ni Barnabasi vava woli ku kanisa chisi kuva chitila chitavelo haluzala.

and saying these things, they scarcely restrained the multitudes from sacrificing to them.

19 Kono ma Juda vavali kuzwa kwa Antioki ni Ikone chivakeza ni kwiza ku susuweza chisi. Vava govoli Paulusi cha mabwe ni kumu kwitila kunze kwe tolopo, cha kuhupula kuti avafwi.

And there came there, from Antioch and Iconium, Jews, and they having persuaded the multitudes, and having stoned Paul, drew him outside of the city, having supposed him to be dead;

20 Mi va varutwana havavali kuzimene niva muzimbulukite, cha zimana nikwinjila mwi tolopo. Izuva lichilila, chaya kwa Derbe ni Barnabasi.

and the disciples having surrounded him, having risen he entered into the city, and on the next day he went forth with Barnabas to Derbe.

21 Havamana ku ruta linzwi mwi toropo ni kutenda varutwana vangi, chivavola kwa Lisitira chikuya kwa Ikone. Mi chikuya kwa Antioki.

Having also proclaimed good news to that city, and having discipled many, they turned back to Lystra, and Iconium, and Antioch,

22 Vava kwete kukoza luhuho lwava zumini ni ku vasusuweza kuzwila havusu mwi tumelo, niva wamba kuti, “Tuswanela kwinjila mwi puso ye Ireza cha manyando mangi.”

confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting to remain in the faith, and that it is required of us to enter into the Kingdom of God through many tribulations,

23 Hamana kuva ketala vakulwana mwi inkeleke sonze, mi vava lapeli cha kulinyima zilyo, chivava vika muma yanza asimwine uvava zumini kwali.

and having appointed to them elders in every assembly by vote, having prayed with fastings, they commended them to the LORD in whom they had believed.

24 Chiva hita inzila ya Pisidiya kwiza kwa Pampiliya.

And having passed through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia,

25 Hava mana kuwamba linzwi mwa Perga, chiva sezumuka kuya kwa Atilia.

and having spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia,

26 Chiva yenda kwa Antioki cha chisepe, kuvavali kususuwezwe ku chisemo che ireza cha musevezi uvava kuzwa kuku mana.

and [from] there sailed to Antioch, from where they had been given by the grace of God for the work that they fulfilled;

27 Hava kasika mwa Antioki ni ku kopanya inkereke hamwina. Chiva kaviha zintu sonse Ireza zava veleki chavo, ni mwaveyalwiri Ireza mulyango we intumelo kuva sihanze.

and having come and gathered the assembly together, they declared as many things as God did with them, and that He opened a door of faith to the nations;

28 Chivekala inako inde ni va lutwana.

and they abided there with the disciples [for] not a short time.
