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.
Henu mu kanisa lya Antiokia pajhele n baadhi jha manabii ni bhalimu. Bhajhele Barnaba, Simeoni (jhaakutisbhu Nigeri). Lukio wa Kirene, Manaeni (Ndongo jha abeli kujha ghwa damu ghwa Herode kiongozi ghwa mkoa), ni Sauli.
2 Bhai, bhalinginji nkujuga Nnungu na tabha, Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo gwashite, “Nng'agulilanje a Bhanabha na a Shauli kwa liengo linaashemelenje.”
Bho bhakamwabudu Bwana ni kufunga, Roho mtakatifu ajobhili, “Munitengelayi palubhafu Barnba ni Sauli bhaibhombayi mbombo jha nibhakutili.”
3 Bhai, bhakajuganjeje Nnungu na kupunda tabha, gubhaabhishilenje makono, gubhaaleshilenje bhajendangane.
Baada jha kanisa kufunga, kus'oka, ni kubheka mabhoko gha bhene panani pa bhanu abha bhakabhaleka bhalotayi.
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.
Kwa hiyo Barnabasi ni Sauli bhantiijhi Roho mtakatifu na bhaselili kulota seleukia; kuhomela okhu bhasafiri mu bahari kulotela kisiwa kya Kipro.
5 Bhakaikanganeje ku Shalamishi, gubhalunguyenje lilobhe lya a Nnungu nnyumba ya jujila Nnungu ya Shiyaudi. A Yowana pubhaaliji bhajangutila bhabhonji.
Bho bhajhe mu mji ghwa Salami, bhalitangasili lilobhi lya K'yara mu masinagogi gha bhayahudi. Pia bhajhele pamonga ni Yohana Marko kama msaidizi ghwa bhene.
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.
Bho bhalolili katika kisiwa kyoha mpaka Pafo, bhan'kolili munufulani mmabhi Myahudi nabii ghwa bhudesi ambajhe lihina lya muene lyajhele Bar Yesu.
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.
Mmabhi ojho ashirikiene ni liwali Sergio Paulus, jha ajhele munu mwenye luhala. Munu ojho abhaaliki Barnaba ni Sauli kwandabha alondeghe kupeleka lilobhi lya K'yara.
8 Ikabheje a Elimo bhaabhi bhala, malinga shibhaashemangaga kwa Shigiliki, gwabhataukenje nkupinga kuibhilila bhakulungwa bha shilambo shitimbililwe na mashi bhala bhanapunda kukulupalila ukilishitu.
Lakini Elima “mmabhi jhola” (Naha ndo lihina lya muene kya lyatafsiribhu) abhapingili; ajaribu kugeusya liwali jhola abhoka mu imani.
9 Bhai, a Shauli bhashemwaga guna a Pauli, bhali bhagumbelwe na Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, gubhaakolondolosheye meyo bhaabhi bhala,
Lakini Sauli jha akutibhweghe Paulo, ajhele amemesibhu Roho mtakatifu, akan'kazila mihu
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.
ni kujobha, “Ewe muana ghwa ibilisi umemesibhu ni aina syoha sya udesi ni udhaifu. Bhebhe ndo adui ghwa kila aina jha haki. Wibetalepi kuleka kusigeusya nj'ela sya Bwana, syasinyeokili je, wibeta kubhwenya?
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.
Henu langayi, kibhoko kya Bwana kijhe panani pa jhobhi, na wibeta kujha kipofu. Wibetalepi kulibhona lijobha kwa muda “Mara jhejhuejhu ukungu ni ngisi fyabinili panani pa Elimasi; akajhanda kusyngoka pala kus'oka bhanu bhandongo syajhi kwa kun'kamula kibhoko.
12 Bhakulungwa bha shilambo shitimbililwe na mashi bhala bhakagabhoneje genego, gubhajinjile ukilishitu, gubhakanganigwe kwa kaje bhakapilikaneje majiganyo ga Bhakulungwa.
Baada jha liwali kubhona kya kitokili akyelili kwandabha asyangesibhu kwa mafundisu kuhusu Bwana.
13 Gwajabhula ku Papo, a Pauli na ajabhonji gubhakwelilenje meli gubhapitengenenje mpaka ku Pega ku Pampilia. Ikabheje a Yowana Maliko gubhaaleshilenje nibhuja ku Yelushalemu.
Henu Paulo ni rafiki bha muene bhasafiri mjini kuhoma Pafo na bhafikiri Perge mu Pamfilia. Lakini Yohana akabhaleka ni kukerebhuka Yerusalemu.
14 Ikabheje bhalabhonji gubhajabhulengene ku Pega gubhapitilenje pakati shilambo, gubhaikengenenje ku Antiokia shilambo sha Pishidia. Lyubha lya Pumulila gubhajinjilenje nshinagogi, gubhatemingenenje.
Paulo ni rafiki yake bhasafiri kuhoma Perge na bhafikili Antiokia jha Pisidia. Okhu bhalotili mu sinagogi ligono lya sabato ni kutama pasi.
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,”
Baada jha kusoma sheria ni manabii bhalongosi bha sinagogi abhakalaghisili ujumbe bhakajobha, “Ndongo, kama mujhe ni ujumbe bhwa kupela muoyo bhanu apa, mujobhayi”
16 Bhai a Pauli gubhajimi gubhagolweye nkono, nkupinga bhapumulanje gubhashite, “Bhashilambo bha pa Ishilaeli na mmowe nkwaajogopanga a Nnungu mpilikananje!
Kwa hiyo Paulo akajhema ni kubhapungila kibhoko; akajobha, “Bhagosi bha Israeli ni mwamukan'tii K'yara, mupelekisiajhi.
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.
K'yara ghwa abha bhanu bha Israeli abhachaguili bha dadijhitu ni kubhabhomba bhanu bhamehele bho bhitama mu nchi jha Misri na kwa kibhoko kya muene kujhinulibhwa abhalonguisi kwibhala kwa muene.
18 Kwa yaka makumi nsheshe nng'anga gubhaipililile itendi yabhonji.
Kwa miaka arobaini abhavumilili pa jangwa.
19 Bhakaabhulaganjeje bhandunji bha makabhila shabha ku Kanaani, nigubhaapelenje bhandunji bhabho yene ilamboyo kubha ulishi gwabhonji.
Baada jha kughaharibu mataifa saba pa nchi jha kaanani, abhapelili bhanu bha tete nchi jha bhene kwa urithi.
20 Yaka mia nsheshe na makumi nng'ano guipitile.” “Kungai gubhaapelenje bhaukumulanga bhaalongoyanje mpaka mobha ga a Shamweli ankulondola bha a Nnungu.
Matukio agha ghoha ghatokili zaidi jha miaka mia nne na hamsini. Baada jha fenu efe fyoka, K'yara abhapelili bhaamuzi mpaka Samweli Nabii.
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.
Baada jha agha, bhanu bhasokili mfalme, hiyo K'yara abhapelili Sauli mwana ghwa Kishi munu ghwa kabila lya Benjamini, kujha mfalme ghwa miaka arobaini.
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.’
Kisha baada jhe K'yara kumbosya mu ufalme an'jinuili Daydi kujha mfalme ghwa bhene. Jhajhele kuhusu Daudi kwamba K'yara ajobhili, 'Nin'kabhili Daudi mwana ghwa Yese kujha munu jha aganikibhu ni muoyo bhwa nene; ambaye ibeta kubhomba khila khenu kyanilonda.
23 Kukoposhela nnubheleko luka jwene mundujo, a Nnungu malinga shibhashite lajila, bhandu bha pa Ishilaeli bhashikumpeleshelanga nkugombola, yani a Yeshu.
Kuhomela mu lukholo lwa munu ojho K'yara ajhiletili Israeli mkombozi Yesu, kama kya ahidi kubhomba.
24 A Yeshu bhakanabhe tandubha liengo lyabho, a Yowana bhashinkwaalongolela bhalilunguya kuti bhandunji bhowe bha pa Ishilaeli bhanaapinjikwanga bhaipetanje na bhatishwa.
Ele lyabhwajhili kuhomele, kabla jha Yesu kuhida Yohana kwanza atangasili ubatisu bhwa toba kwa bhanu bhoha bha Israeli.
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.’”
Nu muene Yohana bho imalisila mbombo jha muene, ajobhili, 'Mwifikiri nene ne niani? Nene ne jhola lepi. Lakini map'elekesiajhi jhaibe takuhida kumbele jha nene, nilondekalepi kuhobhosya filatu fya muene mu magolo.
26 “Ashaapwanga, mmanganyanji nninginji bha shipinga sha a Bhulaimu na bhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi bhakwaajogopanga a Nnungu! Malobhe ga ntapulo gatuishile.
Ndongo bhana bha lukholo lwa Abrahamu, ni bhala ambabho kati jha muenga mukamwabudu K'yara, kwandabha jha tete kwamba ujumbe obho bhwa ukombozi ulaghisibhu.
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.
Kwa bhala bhabhitama Yerusalemu, ni bhatawala bha bhene bhan'tambuili lep kwa bhuhalisia, na bhwala bhan'tambuili lepi ujumbe bhwa manabii kwa kun'hukumu kifo Yesu.
28 Nkali bhalepelenje kushibhona shibhalebhile sha kwaatenda bhabhulagwe, Bhayaudi bhashinkwajuganga a Pilato bhaaukumule kubhulagwa.”
Japokuwa bhakabhilepi sababu jhinofu jha kifo mugati mwa muene bhakan'soka Pilato an'komayi.
29 “Na bhakamaliyeje kutenda gowe gubhajandishilwe a Yeshu, gubhaatuluyenje munkongo mula gubhaabhishilenje nnikabhuli.
Bho bhamalili mamboghohe ghaghalembibhu kuhusu muene, bhakan'selesya mu libehe ni kungoneka mu likaburi.
30 Ikabheje a Nnungu gubhaayushiye.
Lakini K'yara amfufuili kuhoma kwa bhafu.
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.
Abhonekana kwa magono ghamehele kwa bhala bhabhalotili pamonga ni muene kuhoma Galilaya kulotela Yerusalemu. Bhanu abha henu ndo mashahidi bhabhanu.
32 “Na uwe tunakunnungushiyanga Ngani ja Mmbone ja malagano ga a Nnungu jibhapegwilwenje ashinakulubhetu,
Hivyo tukabhaletela habari jhinofu kuhusu ahadi sya bhapelibhu bhakhokho bhitu.
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.’
K'yara abhakili ahadi e'se kwa tete, bhana bhabhi, kwa e'lu amfufuili Yessu ni kun'kerebhusya kabhele mu uhai. E'le kabhele lyalembibhu mu Zaburi, jha pili; Bhebhe ghwe mwanabhangu lelu njele ne Dadijhu.
34 Na ga kwayuya kukopoka kubhawilenje, bhanawe kabhili, a Nnungu pubhashite nnei. ‘Shinikupe mboka ya Ukonjelo na ya kweli inaalajile a Daudi.’
Kabhele kuhusu bhukweli ni kwamba amfufuili kuhomela kwa bhafu ili kwamba mb'ele ghwa muene usiharibiki, alongili naha. Nibeta kup'ela utakatifu ni baraka halisi sya Daudi.
35 Na muna gubhashite kabhili, ‘Nkanneka jwa Ukonjelo jwenu abhole.’
Ejhe ndo sababu jha kujobha kabhele mu Zaburi jh'enge, ghwibetalepi ni husu mtakatifu ghwa jhobhi kubhubhona uozo.'
36 Pabha, a Daudi bhayene bhakamaliyeje kutenda gubhapinjile a Nnungu nnubheleko lwabho, kungai gubhawile gubhabhishilwe nnikabhuli tome na ashainabhabho na shiilu shabho shikubholaga.
Kwa kujha baada jha Daudi kutumikila mapenzi gha K'yara pa kizazi kya muene, agonili agonesibhu pamonga ni bha dsdi jhabhi, na abhubhwene uharibifu,
37 Ikabheje bhayushiywe na a Nnungubha, shiilu shabho shangabhola.”
Lakini jhaafufulibh ni K'yara aubhwelepi uharibifu.
38 “Kwa nneyo, ashaapwanga mmumanyanje kuti, kupitila a Yeshubho nnaalungushiywanga ngani ja leshelelwa yambi na kila akwaakulupalila bhenebho analeshelelwa yambi yakwe.
Efyo na imanyikanayi kwa muenga, ndongo, kup'etela munu ojho, n'samaha ghwa dhambi uhubiribhu.
39 Na kuti jojowe akwaakulupalila a Yeshu anaaleshelelwa ilebho yowe, genego gakanatendeshe kwa Malajilo ga a Musha.
Kwa muene khila jhaiamini ibhalangibhwa haki kwa mambo ghoha ambagho sheria jha Musa ngajhibhepelilepi haki.
40 Bhai, mwiteiganje ganakumpatanga gajandikwe na ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu.
Hivyo basi mujhelayi bhaangalifu kwamba khenu kya bhakilongelili manabii kisihomeli kwa jhomu:
41 ‘Mpilikananje mmanganyanji mmanyegaya, nkanganigwanje nng'obhanje! Pabha shindu shingutenda nnaino, mmobha genunji gano, nkashikulupalilanga nkali mundu antalashiyangaga.’”
Langayi, enyi bha mwidharau, na mkasya nngalayi ni kujhangamila; kwa vile nibhomba mbombo ambayo mwibhwesya lepi kujhikiera, hata kama munu ibetakubhajhelesya.
42 A Pauli na a Bhanabha pubhakopokanganaga nshinagogi mula, bhandunji bhala bhakwaajugangaga bhajiyangananje Lyubha lina lya Pumulila, kubhaatalashiyanje kabhili gene malobhego.
Bwakati Paulo ni Barnaba bho bhabhokili, bhanu bhakabhas'oka bhelongelayi malobhi agha ligono lya sabato ijayo.
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.
Bwakati mkutano wa sinagogi bho bhumaliki Bhayahudi bhingi ni bhaongofu thabiti bhabhakesisi Paulo ni Barnaba, ambabho bhalongili nabhu na bhabhahimizi bhajhendelelayi mu neema jha K'yara.
44 Lyubha lya Pumulila lyakagwile, tome bhandunji bhowe bha pashilambo pala gubhaikengenenje kupilikanishiya lilobhe lya Bhakulungwa.
Sabato jhajhafwatili karibu mji bhuoha bhwabhonganiki kupeleka litobhi lya K'yara.
45 Ikabheje Bhayaudi bhakalubhonanjeje lugwinjili lwa bhandu gubhaabhonelenje lupimililo, gubhataukenje malobhe gubhabheleketaga a Pauli akuno bhalikwaatukananga.
Bhayahudi bho bhabhuene makutano, bhajhe ni bhwifu ni kulongela malobhi ghaghapingili fenu fyafijobhibhu ni Paulo na bhindighili.
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 )
Lakini Paulo ni Barnaba bhalongili kwa ujasiri ni kujobha, “Jhajhemuhimu kwamba lilobhi lya K'yara lilongelibhwayi kwanza henu. Kwa kujha mkalisukumila patali kuhomela kwa muenga ni kwibhona kujha mkastahililepi uzima bhwa milele mulangayi twibeta kubhageukila mataifa. (aiōnios )
47 Pabha tushilajilwa na Bhakulungwa kuti, ‘Njikuubhika ugwe ubhe shilangaya sha bhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi, nkupinga ubhe ntapulo gwa pa shilambolyo.’”
Kama vile Bwana kya atuamuamuili, akajobha, Nibhabhekili muenga kama nuru kwa bhanu bha mataifa, kwamba mletayi wokovu kwa pande syoha sya dunia.”
48 Bandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi bhakapilikananjeje genego guyaanonyelenje, gubhalikushiyenje lilobhe lya Bhakulungwa na bhatumbililwenje kuupata gumi gwa pitipiti bhala, gubhaakulupalilenje a Yeshu. (aiōnios )
Mataifa bho bhap'eliki e'le, bhahobhelili ni kulisifila lilobhi lya Bwana. Bhingi bha bhasalibhu kwa uzima bhwa milele bhakyeriri. (aiōnios )
49 Lilobhe lya Bhakulungwa gulishumile shilambo showe shila.
Lilobhi lya Bwana lyaenili nchi jhioha.
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.
Lakini Bhayahudi bhabhasokili bhabhakihomisi ni bhadala muhimu, kabhele ni bhalongosi bha mji. Agha ghachochili malombosi dhidi jha Paulo ni Barnaba na bhabhataghili kwibhala kumipaka ghya mji.
51 Bhai, bhantenga gubhakung'undenje ndutuli ja mmakongono gabhonji mbuti shileyo, gubhapitengenenje ku Ikonio.
Lakini ni Paulo ni Barnaba bhakung'utili lifu mafumbi lya magolo gha bhene. Kisha bhalotili mu mji bhwa Ikonia.
52 Na bhaajiganywa bha ku Antiokia bhala gubhainonyelenje na gubhagumbelenjwe naka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.
Ni bhanafunzi bhamemili ni furaha pamonga ni Roho mtakatifu.
