1 Bhai, mitume na bhakwaakulupalilanga a Yeshu bha ku Yudea kula, gubhapilikenenje kuti bhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi bhaliposhelenje Lilobhe lya a Nnungu.
Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the non-Jewish people had also received the word of God.
2 Bhai, a Petili bhakabhujeje ku Yelushalemu bhaakulupalila bha Shiyaudi bhaapingangaga bhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi bhajalukanje, gubhaagambilenje bhalinkutinji,
When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,
3 “Mmwe nshikwenda tama na nalya nabhonji bhandunji bhangajalukanga.”
saying, "You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them."
4 Penepo a Petili gubhaatalashiyenje kwa ntima ndende shiishite tandubhila bhalinkuti.
But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,
5 “Lyubha limo ngulijuga Nnungu ku Yapa, nashinkuagamila, gunishibhweni shindu mbuti nkwamba gwankulungwa ulituluywa kukopoka kunani kunnungu gukamwilwe mmapepe gakwe ganansheshe, nibhikwa tome na nne.
"I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.
6 Gunolile nkati mula gunaabhweninji bhannyama bha makongono nsheshe bha mukonde na bhannyama bhatambala pai na ijuni.
When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, crawling creatures, and birds of the sky.
7 Kungai gumbilikene lilobhe lilimalanjila, ‘A Petili, nnjinushe nng'inje na ntaune.’”
I also heard a voice saying to me, 'Rise, Peter, kill and eat.'
8 “Ikabheje nne gunjite, ‘Nngabha nneyo Mmakulungwa, pabha shoshowe sha nyata shikanabhe pita nkang'wa jangu.’
But I said, 'Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.'
9 Lilobhe lila kukopoka kunnungu likumalanjilaga gwa bhili lilinkuti, ‘Indu ikonjeleywe na a Nnungu nnaisheme ya nyata.’”
But a voice answered the second time out of heaven, 'What God has cleansed, do not call unclean.'
10 Lyenelyo gulitendeshe patatu, kungai yowe gwiikweshiywe kubhuja kunani kunnungu.
This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
11 “Shangupe bhandunji bhatatu kukopoka ku Kaishalia bhatumilwenje kunjema nne gubhajimingene mmujo ja nyumba jinatamaga jila.
And look, immediately three men stood before the house where we were, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
12 Mbumu gwamalanjile ngunakole nnjishi, kulongana nabhonji. Bhandu shita bhananji gubhalongenenje na nne kwenda ku Kaishalia, kweneko gutujinjile nnyumba ja a Koloneli.
The Spirit told me to go with them, without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house.
13 A Koloneli gubhatubhalanjile shibhashite kummona malaika nnyumba jabho nikwaabhalanjila kuti, ‘Muntume mundu ajende ku Yapa akaasheme bhandu bhamo bhaashemwa a Shimoni kwa lina, lina a Petili.
He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying to him, 'Send to Joppa, and get Simon, whose surname is Peter,
14 Bhenebho shibhannugulile malobhe ga kuntapula mmwe na ashaalongo ajenunji bhowe.’”
who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.'
15 “Ngatandubheje kubheleketa, Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo gwabhatulushilenje malinga shatutulushile uwe kundandubho kula.
As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.
16 Penepo gungumbushile malobhe gubhabhelekete Bhakulungwa gala kuti, ‘A Yowana bhashinkubhatisha kwa mashi, ikabheje mmanganyanji shimbhatishwanje kwa Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.’
I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, 'John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.'
17 Bhai, ibhaga a Nnungu bhaapelenje bhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi upo malinga shibhatupele uwe, tukaakulupalileje Bhakulungwa a Yeshu Kilishitu, bhuli, nne gani ngombole kutaukangana na a Nnungu?”
If then God gave to them the same gift as us, when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?"
18 Bhakapilikananjeje genego, gubhaleshilenje mitau jabhonji, gubhaakushiyenje a Nnungu bhalinkutinji, “Kwa nneyo a Nnungu bhashikwaapanganga bhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi shikono sha kwiipeta bhapatanje gumi.”
When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, "Then God has also granted to the non-Jews repentance to life."
19 Kwa ligongo lya mboteko ibhapatile a Shitepano, bhaakulupalila gubhapwilingenenje. Bhananji gubhapitengenenje ku Poinike na ku Kipulo na ku Antiokia ja ku Shilia akuno bhalipita lunguya ntenga gula ku Bhayaudipe.
They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.
20 Ikabheje bhaakulupalila bhananji bhakopokenje ku Kipulo na ku Kilene, bhashinkwendangana ku Antiokia gubhakungulukenje na bhandunji bhaabheleketanga Shigiliki bhalikwaalungushiyanga Ngani ja Mmbone ja Bhakulungwa a Yeshu.
But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Greeks, proclaiming the good news of the Lord Jesus.
21 Mashili ga Bhakulungwa pugaaliji pamo na bhanganyabho na bhandunji bhabhagwinji gubhaakulupalilenje nikwaatendebhushila Bhakulungwa.
The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
22 Jene nganijo jikupilikanikaga kubhandu bhakagulanga mpanda gwa a Yeshu bha ku Yelushalemu. Kwa nneyo gubhaatumilenje a Bhanabha bhajende ku Antiokia.
And the report concerning them was heard by the church in Jerusalem, so they sent Barnabas to Antioch,
23 Bhakaisheje kweneko na kuubhona ntuka gwa a Nnungu shushite poshelwa kubhandunji bhala guyaanonyele, gubhaashondelesheyenje bhapundanje kwakulupalila Bhakulungwa.
who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain true to the Lord.
24 A Bhanabha pubhaaliji bhandu bhanguja bhagumbelwe na Mbumu Jwa Ukonjelo na bhashinkukola ngulupai, kwa nneyo bhandu bhabhagwinji gubhajenjeshekenje ku Bhakulungwa.
For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.
25 Kungai a Bhanabha gubhapite ku Tasho kukwaloleya a Shauli.
Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.
26 Bhaakabhoneje, gubhajienabho ku Antiokia. Na bhanaabhili gubhatemingenenje na bhaakulupalilanga mpanda gwa a Yeshu, kwa shaka shimo bhalikwaajiganyanga bhandunji bhabhagwinji. Na bhaakulupalila gubhatandwibhenje kushemwa Bhakilishitu ku Antiokiako.
When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. It happened, that for a whole year they were gathered together with the church, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
27 Gene mobhapego, ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu gubhaikengenenje ku Antiokia kopoka ku Yelushalemu.
Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
28 Bhai, bhamo bha munkumbi gwabhonji lina lyabho a Agabhushi gubhajimi na kwaakomboywa naka Mbumu gubhalondwele kuti, shipinga koposhela shibhanga sha punda nshilambolyo. Shene shibhangasho shakoposhele mobha ga upalume gwa a Kilaudio.
One of them named Agabus stood up, and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.
29 Bhaajiganywa bhala gubhatumbililenje kuti kila mundu mushakombolele apeleshe shoshowe sha kwajangutilanga Bhakilishitu bhaatamangananga ku Yudea.
As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;
30 Bhai, gubhatendilenje nneyo, gubhaakamwiyenje a Bhanabha na a Shauli bhaapelekanje ku bhanangulungwa bha bhandunji bha a Nnungu.
which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
