Itendi 13
1 Likanisha lya ku Antiokia bhashinkupagwanga bhandunji bhananji bhalinginji ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu na bhananji bhaajiganya. Munkumbimo bhaapali a Bhanabha na a Shimoni bhashemwa Bhanapi na a Lukio bha ku Kilene na a Manaeni bhalelilwe pamo na bhakulungwa a Elode, pubhalinginji na a Shauli.
Now in the church that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2 Bhai, bhalinginji nkujuga Nnungu na tabha, Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo gwashite, “Nng'agulilanje a Bhanabha na a Shauli kwa liengo linaashemelenje.”
As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, "Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them."
3 Bhai, bhakajuganjeje Nnungu na kupunda tabha, gubhaabhishilenje makono, gubhaaleshilenje bhajendangane.
Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
4 Bhai, a Bhanabha na a Shauli bhakatumwanjeje naka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, gubhaelelenje mpaka ku Sheleukia na gwajabhula penepo gubhakwelilenje meli mpaka ku shilambo shitimbililwe na mashi sha ku Shilia.
So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.
5 Bhakaikanganeje ku Shalamishi, gubhalunguyenje lilobhe lya a Nnungu nnyumba ya jujila Nnungu ya Shiyaudi. A Yowana pubhaaliji bhajangutila bhabhonji.
When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. They had also John as their attendant.
6 Bhakapitangananjeje pakati shilambo shitimbililwe na mashi mpaka ku Papo, kweneko gubhanng'imenenje nng'abhi jumo jwa Shiyaudi lina lyakwe a Bhaa Yeshu paitembaga nkulondola jwa a Nnungu.
When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a Jewish false prophet whose name was Bar-Jesus,
7 Jwene mundujo paliji na a Shegiashi Pauli, bhakulungwa bha shilambo shitimbililwe na mashi, bhandu bha lunda. A Shegiashi Pauli gubhaashemilenje a Bhanabha na a Shauli nkupinga bhapilikane lilobhe lya a Nnungu.
who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.
8 Ikabheje a Elimo bhaabhi bhala, malinga shibhaashemangaga kwa Shigiliki, gwabhataukenje nkupinga kuibhilila bhakulungwa bha shilambo shitimbililwe na mashi bhala bhanapunda kukulupalila ukilishitu.
But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the faith.
9 Bhai, a Shauli bhashemwaga guna a Pauli, bhali bhagumbelwe na Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, gubhaakolondolosheye meyo bhaabhi bhala,
But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him,
10 gubhashite, “Mmwe mmanami nkwatembanga bhandu! Mwana jwa Lijoka Lishetani. Amagongo nkutauka shindu shoshowe shili sha mmbone na sha kweli, nkapinga leka kupuganya mipanda ja mmbone ja Bhakulungwa.
and said, "Full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
11 Nnaino mashili ga Bhakulungwa shigankome. Shimme nangalole na nkashibhona shilangaya sha lyubha kwa gene malangago.” Shangupe indu yowe ikubhaga mbuti ndambwe na lubhindu pameyo gabho, gubhatandwibhe kwenda ako na koko bhaliloleya mundu jwa kwaakamula nkono abhalongoye.
Now, look, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, unable to see the sun for a time." Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
12 Bhakulungwa bha shilambo shitimbililwe na mashi bhala bhakagabhoneje genego, gubhajinjile ukilishitu, gubhakanganigwe kwa kaje bhakapilikaneje majiganyo ga Bhakulungwa.
Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
13 Gwajabhula ku Papo, a Pauli na ajabhonji gubhakwelilenje meli gubhapitengenenje mpaka ku Pega ku Pampilia. Ikabheje a Yowana Maliko gubhaaleshilenje nibhuja ku Yelushalemu.
Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia, and John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
14 Ikabheje bhalabhonji gubhajabhulengene ku Pega gubhapitilenje pakati shilambo, gubhaikengenenje ku Antiokia shilambo sha Pishidia. Lyubha lya Pumulila gubhajinjilenje nshinagogi, gubhatemingenenje.
But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and sat down.
15 Bhakashomanjeje shitabhu sha Shalia ja a Musha na majandiko ga Ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu, bhakulungwanji bha shinagogi gubhantumilenje mundu akaabhalanjilanje kuti. “Ashaapwetu, ibhaga nkwetenje malobhe ga kwataganga ntima bhandunjibha, mmeleketanje,”
After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, "Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak."
16 Bhai a Pauli gubhajimi gubhagolweye nkono, nkupinga bhapumulanje gubhashite, “Bhashilambo bha pa Ishilaeli na mmowe nkwaajogopanga a Nnungu mpilikananje!
Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, "Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.
17 A Nnungu bha bhandunji bha pa Ishilaeli bhashinkwaagulanga ashinakulubhetu, nikwakuyanga kubha likabhila likulungwa pubhatamanganaga kuujeni ku shilambo sha Mishili. A Nungu gubhaashoshiyenje kweneko kwa mashili gabho gamakulungwa.
The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as foreigners in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it.
18 Kwa yaka makumi nsheshe nng'anga gubhaipililile itendi yabhonji.
For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.
19 Bhakaabhulaganjeje bhandunji bha makabhila shabha ku Kanaani, nigubhaapelenje bhandunji bhabho yene ilamboyo kubha ulishi gwabhonji.
When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance.
20 Yaka mia nsheshe na makumi nng'ano guipitile.” “Kungai gubhaapelenje bhaukumulanga bhaalongoyanje mpaka mobha ga a Shamweli ankulondola bha a Nnungu.
All this took about four hundred and fifty years. And after these things he gave them judges, until Samuel the prophet.
21 Bhai gubhajujilenje bhapegwanje mpalume, a Nnungu gubhaapelenje a Shauli bhanabhabho a Kishi, bha kabhila ja a Bhenjamini, bhabhe a mpalume bhabhonji kwa yaka makumi nsheshe.
Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
22 Bhakaashoyeje a Shauli, a Nnungu gubhaagwile a Daudi kubha bhakulungwa bhabhonji. A Nnungu gubhalangwile shibhashite engwa bhalinkuti. ‘Nimmweni Daudi mwana gwabho a Yeshe, anonyela muntima gwangu, mumdu apinga tenda yowe ingupinga nne.’
When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, 'I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.'
23 Kukoposhela nnubheleko luka jwene mundujo, a Nnungu malinga shibhashite lajila, bhandu bha pa Ishilaeli bhashikumpeleshelanga nkugombola, yani a Yeshu.
From this man's offspring, according to his promise, God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus,
24 A Yeshu bhakanabhe tandubha liengo lyabho, a Yowana bhashinkwaalongolela bhalilunguya kuti bhandunji bhowe bha pa Ishilaeli bhanaapinjikwanga bhaipetanje na bhatishwa.
before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25 A Yowana bhalimaliya liengo lyabho bhabhelekete nnei. ‘Punkuganishiyanga kuti nne gani? Nne nngabha bhunkwaalolelangabho. Bhenebho bhanakwiya nnyuma jangu na nne ngapinjikwa nkali kugopola mbundo ya ilatu yabho.’”
As John was fulfilling his course, he said, 'What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But look, one comes after me the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.'
26 “Ashaapwanga, mmanganyanji nninginji bha shipinga sha a Bhulaimu na bhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi bhakwaajogopanga a Nnungu! Malobhe ga ntapulo gatuishile.
Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to us.
27 Pabha bhashilambo bha ku Yelushalemu na ashikalongolele bhabhonji bhakaamanyinjiji a Yeshu, wala malobhe ga ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu gashomwaga Mobha ga Pumulila gowe. Nkali nneyo, bhashinkugatendanga malobhe ga ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu gamalile kwa kwaukumula a Yeshu bhabhulagwe.
For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.
28 Nkali bhalepelenje kushibhona shibhalebhile sha kwaatenda bhabhulagwe, Bhayaudi bhashinkwajuganga a Pilato bhaaukumule kubhulagwa.”
Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
29 “Na bhakamaliyeje kutenda gowe gubhajandishilwe a Yeshu, gubhaatuluyenje munkongo mula gubhaabhishilenje nnikabhuli.
When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree, and placed him in a tomb.
30 Ikabheje a Nnungu gubhaayushiye.
But God raised him from the dead,
31 Na kwa mobha gamagwinji gubhabhoneshe na bhandunji bhalongene nabhonji kukopoka ku Galilaya mpaka ku Yelushalemu bhanganyabho nnaino ni bhakong'ondela bhabho kubhandu bha pa Ishilaeli.
and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.
32 “Na uwe tunakunnungushiyanga Ngani ja Mmbone ja malagano ga a Nnungu jibhapegwilwenje ashinakulubhetu,
We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,
33 a Nnungu bhashikugatenda gamalile nnaino kwetu uwe uukulu gwabhonji, kwa kwaayuya a Yeshu, malinga shiijandikwe nshitabhu sha Shabhuli ja bhili, ‘Ugwe Mwanangu, Nne lelo Nanng'inago.’
that God has fulfilled for us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, 'You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.'
34 Na ga kwayuya kukopoka kubhawilenje, bhanawe kabhili, a Nnungu pubhashite nnei. ‘Shinikupe mboka ya Ukonjelo na ya kweli inaalajile a Daudi.’
"Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: 'I will give to you the faithful sacred things of David.'
35 Na muna gubhashite kabhili, ‘Nkanneka jwa Ukonjelo jwenu abhole.’
Therefore he says also in another psalm, 'You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.'
36 Pabha, a Daudi bhayene bhakamaliyeje kutenda gubhapinjile a Nnungu nnubheleko lwabho, kungai gubhawile gubhabhishilwe nnikabhuli tome na ashainabhabho na shiilu shabho shikubholaga.
For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was placed with his fathers, and saw decay.
37 Ikabheje bhayushiywe na a Nnungubha, shiilu shabho shangabhola.”
But he whom God raised up saw no decay.
38 “Kwa nneyo, ashaapwanga mmumanyanje kuti, kupitila a Yeshubho nnaalungushiywanga ngani ja leshelelwa yambi na kila akwaakulupalila bhenebho analeshelelwa yambi yakwe.
Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you forgiveness of sins,
39 Na kuti jojowe akwaakulupalila a Yeshu anaaleshelelwa ilebho yowe, genego gakanatendeshe kwa Malajilo ga a Musha.
and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the Law of Moses.
40 Bhai, mwiteiganje ganakumpatanga gajandikwe na ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu.
So beware, lest what is said in the Prophets should come about:
41 ‘Mpilikananje mmanganyanji mmanyegaya, nkanganigwanje nng'obhanje! Pabha shindu shingutenda nnaino, mmobha genunji gano, nkashikulupalilanga nkali mundu antalashiyangaga.’”
'Look, you scoffers, and be amazed, and perish; for I am working a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, if one tells it to you.'"
42 A Pauli na a Bhanabha pubhakopokanganaga nshinagogi mula, bhandunji bhala bhakwaajugangaga bhajiyangananje Lyubha lina lya Pumulila, kubhaatalashiyanje kabhili gene malobhego.
So when they went out they urged them to speak about these things on the next Sabbath.
43 Shitamo shila shikamaleje, Bhayaudi bhabhagwinji na bhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi bhailundilenje na dini ja Shiyaudi gubhaakagulenje a Pauli na a Bhanabha. Mitume bhala gubhakungulwishe nabhonji nkwataganga ntima bhapundanje kukulupalila ntuka gwa a Nnungu.
Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
44 Lyubha lya Pumulila lyakagwile, tome bhandunji bhowe bha pashilambo pala gubhaikengenenje kupilikanishiya lilobhe lya Bhakulungwa.
The next Sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of the Lord.
45 Ikabheje Bhayaudi bhakalubhonanjeje lugwinjili lwa bhandu gubhaabhonelenje lupimililo, gubhataukenje malobhe gubhabheleketaga a Pauli akuno bhalikwaatukananga.
But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and reviled him.
46 Nkali nneyo, a Pauli na a Bhanabha gubhabheleketenje gwangali bhoga bhalinkutinji, “Ishinkupinjikwa lilobhe lya a Nnungu litandubhe kunng'ishilanga, ikabheje pabha nshikulikananga nikwiibhona nkapinjikwanga kuupata gumi gwa pitipiti, bhai tunakunnekanga twaajendelanje bhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi. (aiōnios g166)
Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, "It was necessary that God's word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, look, we turn to the non-Jewish people. (aiōnios g166)
47 Pabha tushilajilwa na Bhakulungwa kuti, ‘Njikuubhika ugwe ubhe shilangaya sha bhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi, nkupinga ubhe ntapulo gwa pa shilambolyo.’”
For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, 'I have set you as a light to the nations, that you may bring salvation to the farthest part of the earth.'"
48 Bandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi bhakapilikananjeje genego guyaanonyelenje, gubhalikushiyenje lilobhe lya Bhakulungwa na bhatumbililwenje kuupata gumi gwa pitipiti bhala, gubhaakulupalilenje a Yeshu. (aiōnios g166)
As the non-Jewish people heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord. As many as were appointed to everlasting life believed. (aiōnios g166)
49 Lilobhe lya Bhakulungwa gulishumile shilambo showe shila.
The Lord's word was spread abroad throughout all the region.
50 Ikabheje Bhayaudi gubhaakwishiyenje bhanabhakongwe bha manyika bhakwaajogopanga a Nnungu na ashikalongolele bha shene shilambo shila, gubhatandubhenje kwaapoteka a Pauli na a Bhanabha, nigubhaabhinjilenje nshilambo shabhonji.
But the Jews stirred up the devout women of prominence and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders.
51 Bhai, bhantenga gubhakung'undenje ndutuli ja mmakongono gabhonji mbuti shileyo, gubhapitengenenje ku Ikonio.
But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
52 Na bhaajiganywa bha ku Antiokia bhala gubhainonyelenje na gubhagumbelenjwe naka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.
The disciples were filled with joy with the Holy Spirit.
