Mitendo 15

1 Vamwi vakwame va vali ku zwa mwa Judea ni kuluta vakwavo, chivati, “Kuandakuti upangwe mupato kuzwa ku mulao wa Mushe, ko woli ku hazwa.”

Then cam certayne from Iewrie and taught the brethren: excepte ye be circumcysed after the maner of Moses ye cannot be saved.

2 Linu Paulusi ni Banabasi ha veza ku va kalimela ni kuli kananisa navo, Vakwavo chi va zumizana kuti Paulusi, Banabasi ni vamwi va yende kwa Jerusalema ku va apositola ni va kulwana che iyi impuzo.

And when ther was rysen dissencion and disputinge not a litle vnto Paul and Barnabas agaynst them. They determined that Paul and Barnabas and certayne other of them shuld ascende to Ierusalem vnto the Apostles and elders aboute this question.

3 Ni hakwinavulyo, cha ku tumwa ni inkeleke, chiva hita mwa Phoenicia ni Samaria ni kwi zivisa che iyi indava ya chisi chingi. Chi valeta ku sanga ku vonse vamwavo.

And after they were brought on their waye by the congregacion they passed over Phenices and Samaria declarynge the conuersion of the getyls and they brought great ioye vnto all ye brethren.

4 Linu ha vakeza mwa Jerusalema, va va tambulwa ni inkeleke ni va apositola ni vakulwana, mi chiva viha zintu zonse Ireeza chiti navo.

And when they were come to Ierusalem they were receaved of the congregacion and of the Apostles and elders. And they declared what thinges God had done by them.

5 Kono vakwame vamwi va va zumini, va vali va chikwata cha Mafarisi, chi vazima ni kuti, “Kulukele kuti va chitwe mupato ni ku va laela ku mamela mulao wa Mushe.

Then arose ther vp certayne that were of the secte of the Pharises and dyd beleve sayinge that it was nedfull to circucise them and to enioyne the to kepe ye lawe of Moses.

6 “Linu va apositola ni va kulwana chi va kungana ha mwina ku zuminzana he iyi indava.

And ye Apostles and elders came to geder to reason of this matter.

7 Hakumana wambisana kungi, Pitolosi cha zimana ni ku wamba kuvali, “Vakwetu, mwizi kuti Ireeza ava liketeli mukati kenu, kuti cha mulomo wangu Vasikunze va zuwe linzwi lya makande malotu, ni ku zumina.

And when ther was moche disputinge Peter rose vp and sayde vnto them: Ye men and brethren ye knowe how that a good whyle agoo God chose amoge vs that the getyls by my mouth shuld heare the worde of the gospell and beleve.

8 Ireeza, wizi inkulo, upaka ku vali, cha ku vaha Luhuho Lujolola, si na mwa vachitili kwetu;

And God which knoweth the herte bare them witnes and gave vnto them the holy goost eve as he dyd vnto vs

9 mi kana ava chiti ku chi nchana mukati ketu navo, ku panga inkulo za vo ku jolola che intumelo.

and he put no difference bitwene them and vs but with fayth purified their hertes.

10 Hanu ni ha kwina vulyo chi nzi hamulika Ireeza, kuti muvike ijokwe he nsingo za valutwani liti nanga veshetu kapa iswe kena tuvali woli kuli kulika?

Now therfore why tempte ye God that ye wolde put a yoke on the disciples neckes which nether oure fathers nor we were able to beare.

11 Kono tuzumina kuti katu hazwe ku zwillila ku chisemo cha Simwine Jesu, sina mu va vekalile.”

But we beleve that thorowe the grace of the Lorde Iesu Christ we shalbe saved as they doo.

12 Chisi chose chi chatontola ni va tekeleze kwa Banabasi ni Paulusi kuviha zisupo ni zi komokisa Ireeza za vapangi mukati ka Vasikunze ku zwilila ku vali.

Then all the multitude was peased and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul which tolde what signes and wondres God had shewed amonge the gentyls by them.

13 Ha va siya ku wamba, Jakovo chetava, chati, “Vakwetu mutekeleze kwangu.

And when they helde their peace Iames answered sayinge: Men and brethren herken vnto me.

14 Simoni ava wambi umo Ireeza ku matangisizo mwava heli musa ku tusa Vasikunze cha ku hinda vantu mukati kavo che zina lyakwe.

Simeon tolde how God at the begynnynge dyd visit the gentyls and receaved of them people vnto his name.

15 Mi manzwi ava apositola chi a zuminzana nezi, sina mukuñolelwe,

And to this agreith ye wordes of ye Prophetes as it is written.

16 Chikwa mana izi zintu ka nivole, Mi kanizake itente lya Davida hape, li va wili hansi; Ka ni li zimike ni ku vozekeza ku shinyeha kwa lyo hape,

After this I will returne and wyll bylde agayne the tabernacle of David which is fallen doune and that which is fallen in dekey of it will I bilde agayne and I will set it vp

17 cho kuti vantu vasikeza va zimene va sake Simwine, ku kopanya vulyo ni Vasikunze vonse va sumpitwe che zina lyangu.'

that the residue of men might seke after the Lorde and also the gentyls vpo whom my name is named saith ye Lorde which doth all these thinges:

18 Ichi cha wamba Simwine chiti, ya va pangi zintu zonse zive zi vahele ku zwa kwi nako zakale. (aiōn g165)

knowne vnto God are all his workes from the begynninge of the worlde. (aiōn g165)

19 Niha ku va vulyo, mu nahano wangu kanzi tukatazi Vasikunze vola kwe Ireeza;

Wherfore my sentece is yt we trouble not them which fro amonge the gentyls are turned to God:

20 kono cha ku va ñolela kuti vazwe ku ku lisinya ni zibumbantu za manza, kuzwa ku vusangu, ni zonse zisinitwe, ni ku zamalaha.

but yt we write vnto them yt they abstayne them selves fro filthynes of ymages fro fornicacio from straglyd and fro bloude.

21 Ku zwa kwisika lya kwa kale kwina vantu mwi tolopo ni tolopo va kwete ku kutaza ni ku vala Mushe mu masinagoge lwe Sabata ni Sabata.”

For Moses of olde tyme hath in every cite that preache him and he is rede in the synagoges every saboth daye.

22 Linu chi kwa voneka vulotu ku va apositola ni vakulwana, ni inkeleke yonse, ku keta Judasi yo sumpwa Basabasi ni Silasi, va vali va kulwana ve inkeleke, mi ni kuva tuimina kwa Antioch ni Paulusi ni Banabasi.

Then pleased it the Apostles and elders wt the whole congregacio to sende chosyn men of their owne copany to Antioche with Paul and Barnabas. They sent Iudas called also Barsabas and Silas which were chefe men amonge the brethre

23 Chiva ñola izi. “Va apositola, va kulwana ni vakwetu, ku Vasikunze vakwetu mwa Antioke, ni Siria ni Silisia, intumeliso.

and gave them lettres in their hondes after this maner. The Apostles elders and brethren send gretynges vnto the brethre which are of the gentyls in Antioche Siria and Celicia.

24 Tu va zuwi kuti vamwi va kwame va tu sana tuvahi mulao, va vazwi kwetu ni ku mi kataza ni intuto zi kataza ihuho zenu.

For as moche as we have hearde yt certayne which departed fro vs have troubled you with wordes and combred youre myndes sayinge: Ye must be circumcised and kepe the lawe to whom we gave no soche comaundemet.

25 Linu chi kwa woneka vulotu kwetu tu vonse ku keta va kwame ni ku va tumina vasakiwa kwetu Banabasi ni Paulusi,

It semed therfore to vs a good thinge when we were come to gedder with one accorde to sende chosyn men vnto you with oure beloved Barnabas and Paul

26 vantu va va viki vuhalo bwavo muvukavo che zina lya Simwine Jesu Kirisite wetu.

men that have ieoperded their lyves for the name of oure Lorde Iesus Christ.

27 Tu va tumini ni ha ku vavulyo Judasi ni Silasi, vese va mi wambile navo zintu ziswana.

We have sent therfore Iudas and Sylas which shall also tell you the same thinges by mouth.

28 Mi ni kwavoneki sinte ku Luhuho Lujolola ni kwetu, ku sa vika hewulu lyenu muzio mukando, kwanda zintu zi na intuso:

For it semed good to the holy gost and to vs to put no grevous thinge to you more then these necessary thinges:

29 kuti musiye zintu za zi tavelo za zivumbantu za manza, malaha, zintu zi dinkitwe, mi ni za vusangu. Haiva ni mulizwisa mwezi muvene, mu ku shiame kwenu. Kulaeza.”

that is to saye that ye abstayne from thinges offered to ymages from bloud from strangled and fornicacion. From which yf ye kepe youre selves ye shall do well. So fare ye well.

30 Linu he, ha chi va lukululwa ni ku sezumukela mwa Antioke; ha vamana ku kunganya china vungi hamwina, ni vatambika iñolo.

When they were departed they came to Antioche and gaddred the multitude togeder and delyvered ye pistle.

31 Linu ha va livala, chi vasanga che ivaka lye nsusuwezo.

When they had redde it they reioysed of that consolacion.

32 Judasi ni Silasi, mane ni vapolofita, ni va susuweza vana kwavo ni manzwi mangi ni ku va koza.

And Iudas and Sylas beinge prophetes exhorted the brethren with moche preachynge and strengthed them.

33 Ha va mana kwi kala inako zana aho, va vatuminwa mu inkozo ku vakwavo va va vatumite.

And after they had taryed there a space they were let goo in peace of the brethren vnto the Apostles.

34 Kono ku vavoneki ku va hande kwa Silasi ku shala mwateni.

Not with stondynge it pleasyd Sylas to abyde there still.

35 Kono Paulusi ni Banabasi ni vekala mwa Antioke hamwina ni vungi bwa vamwi, umo ni valuti ni ku kutaza linzwi lya Simwine.

Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioche teachynge and preachynge the worde of the Lorde with other many.

36 Ha ku hita mazuva Paulusi nati kwa Banabasi. “Tuvole hanu mi tukapotele bakwetu mwi tolopo ni tolopo mutu va ku wambite linzwi lya Simwine, mi tuvone kuti vena vule.

But after a certayne space Paul sayde vnto Barnabas: Let vs goo agayne and visite oure brethren in every cite where we have shewed the worde of the Lorde and se how they do.

37 Banabasi avali ku sunite ku yenda ni Joani ya vali ku sumpwa Mareka.

And Barnabas gave counsell to take wt them Iohn called also Marke.

38 Kono Paulusi cha zeza kuti ka kwina hande ku hinda Mareka ya vaka vasiyi mwa Pamfilia mi kena ava zwili havusu navo mu musevezi.

But Paul thought it not mete to take him vnto their company whiche departed from them at Pamphylia and went not with them to the worke.

39 Linu chikwa vuka ku sa zuminzana kukando, mi kuti mane chi va kauhana hakati, mi Banabasi cha hinda Mareka ni ku zuha naye ku ya kwa Sipera.

And the dissencion was so sharpe bitwene them that they departed a sunder one from the other: so that Barnabas toke Marke and sayled vnto Cypers.

40 Kono Paulusi cha keta Silasi ni ku yenda, ha mana ku mu muhewa ni vakwakwe cha musa wa Simwine.

And Paul chose Sylas and departed delyvered of ye brethren vnto the grace of god.

41 Mi ava yendi ku hita mwa Siria ni Silisia na ka vu koza makeleke.

And he went thorowe all Cyria and Cilicia stablisshynge the congregacions.
