Itendi 15
1 Bhai, gubhaikengenenje bhandunji ku Antiokia kopokanga ku Yudea gubhatandubhenje kwaajiganyanga bhakilishitu kuti, “Ibhaga nkajalukanje malinga shiilugwilwe Mmalajilo ga a Musha nkatapulwanga.”
Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, "Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved."
2 Lyene lilobhelyo lyashinkukumbuya ntau gwankulungwa. A Pauli na a Bhanabha bhakataukanganeje na bhandunji bhala, gwiamulishwe kuti, a Pauli na a Bhanabha na bhandunji bhananji bha a Nnungu bha ku Antiokia bhajendangananje ku Yelushalemu bhakabhonegananje na mitume na bhanangulungwa ga jene nganijo.
Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul and Barnabas, and some others of them, to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
3 Bhai, bhakatumwanjeje na bhandunji bha a Nnungu, gubhapitilenje pakati shilambo sha Poinike na ku Shamalia, akuno bhalilunguyanga ngani ja bhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi shibhashite kwaatendebhushilanga a Nnungu, jene nganijo gujaanonyelenje kwa kaje bhakilishitu bhowe.
They, being sent on their way by the church, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, describing in detail the conversion of the non-Jewish people. They caused great joy to all the brothers.
4 Bhakaikangananjeje ku Yelushalemu gubhaposhelwenje na bhandunji bha a Nnungu na mitume na bhanangulungwa, na bhalabhonji gubhaatalashiyenje yowe ibhatendile a Nnungu pamo na bhanganyabho.
When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church and the apostles and the elders, and they reported all things that God had done with them.
5 Ikabheje bhakilishitu bhananji bha nkumbi gwa Mapalishayo gubhajimingenenje bhalinkutinji, “Inapinjikwa bhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi bhajalukanje nkukaguya Shalia ja a Musha.”
But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, "It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the Law of Moses."
6 Bhai, mitume na bhanangulungwa gubhatemingenenje lukumbi bhaliganishiyanje lilobhelyo.
The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
7 Nkungulu ukalonjeyeje, a Petili gubhajimi, nigubhashite, “Ashaapwetu, mmanganyanji mmumanyinji kuti kuumila ndandubho a Nnungu bhashinkupinga kung'agula nne kukopoka munkumbi gwenunji nunguye Ngani ja Mmbone kubhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi, nkupinga bhapilikananje na kulupalila.
When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, "Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
8 Na bhalabho a Nnungu bhanakujimanya mitima ja bhandunji, gubhakong'ondele kuti bhaapinjilenje, kwa kwaapanganga Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo malinga shibhatupele uwe.
God, who knows the heart, testified about them by giving the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.
9 Wala bhangaagula uwe na bhanganyabho, bhashikujitakaya mitima jabhonji kwa ngulupai.
He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
10 Bhai nnaino, kwa nndi nnakwaalinganga a Nnungu kwa kwaatwikanga bhandunji mitenga jibhalepelenje kujigala ashainabhetu, nkali uwe twashinkulepela jigala.
Now therefore why do you tempt God, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11 Ikabhe putukulupalila kuti shitutapulwe kwa ntuka gwa Bhakulungwa a Yeshu malinga bhanganyabho.”
But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are."
12 Bhai, bhandunji bhowe pa lukumbi pala, gubhatemingenenje ilili, nkwaapilikanishiyanga a Bhanabha na a Pauli bhalitalashiyanga ga ilangulo na ilapo ibhatendile a Nnungu kwa makono gabhonji kubhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi.
And all the people kept quiet, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.
13 A Bhanabha na Pauli bhakapumulanjeje kutalashiya, a Yakobho gubhatandwibhe kubheleketa bhalinkuti, “Ashaapwanga mmbilikanishiyanje!
After they were silent, James answered, "Brothers, listen to me.
14 A Shimoni guna bhashemwaga a Petili bhatutalashiye, bhukalago a Nnungu shibhaashite languya kwaapinganga bhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi, gubhaagwilenje bhananji munkumbi gwabhonjimo bhabhanganje bhandu bhabho.
Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations, to take out of them a people for his name.
15 Na malobhe ga ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu ganatolana na jene nganiji, malinga shiijandikwe Mmajandiko ga Ukonjelo,
This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
16 ‘Gapitaga genega shimuje, na shinjenje kabhili ku nyumba jibhomweshe ja a Daudi, shing'alaye maame gakwe nishenga kabhili.
'After these things I will return; and I will rebuild the tabernacle of David that has fallen, and I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it,
17 Nkupinga bhandunji bhaigelenje, na bha ilambo ina bhaashemwanga kwa lina lyangu, bhaaloleyanje Bhakulungwa.
that the rest of humanity may seek after the Lord, and all the nations who are called by my name, says the Lord, who makes these things
known from long ago.' (aiōn g165)
19 “Kwa nneyo, nne ngunatenda nnei, tunaabhuyanje bhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi bhakwaatendebhushilanga a Nnungu.
"Therefore my judgment is that we do not trouble those from among the non-Jewish people who turn to God,
20 Ikabhe twaajandishilanje bhaluwa kuti bhanalyanganje yalya yanyata ya mbepei ya ashinnungu bha yanamu, bhaiepuyanje na labhalabha, bhanataunanje nnyama yawa shibhudu na bhanalyanganje minyai.
but that we write to them that they abstain from things defiled by idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.
21 Pabha kuumila bhukala bhapalinji bhandu bhalunguyanga Malajilo ga a Musha na ganashomwa nnyumba ya jujila Nnungu kila lyubha lya pumulila.”
For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who proclaim him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath."
22 Bhai, mitume na bhandunji bhowe bha a Nnungu na bhanangulungwa bhabhonji gubhaagwilenje bhandunji kukopoka munkumbi gwabhonji bhaatumanje kwenda ku Antiokia na a Pauli na a Bhanabha. Bhai, gubhaagwilenje a Yuda guna pubhashemwaga a Bhalishabha na a Shila bhowenji bhandunji bha manyika munkumbi gwa bhakilishitu.
Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.
23 Gubhaakamuyenje bhaluwa jajandikwe nnei, “Uwe twaashapwenunji, mitume na bhanangulungwa, shalamu yenunji mwashaapwetu bha ilambo ina nninginji ku Antiokia na ku Shilia na ku Kilikia.
They wrote these things by their hand: "The apostles, the elders, and the brothers, to the non-Jewish brothers who are in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.
24 Tupilikene kuti bhandunji bhananji bha kopoka kunngwetu kuno bhashikumpuganyanga kwa malobhe gabhonji, nikumpanganga lipamba mmitima jenunji. Ikabheje akuno jwakwa abhatumilenje.
Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, to whom we gave no commandment;
25 Kwa nneyo tushitama pamo nilagana twaagulanje bhandu twaatumanje bhajiyangananje kweneko na ashaambwiga ajetunji a Bhanabha na a Pauli,
it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 bhandunji bhaikakatimilenje gumi gwabhonji kwa ligongo lya liengo lya a Yeshu Kilishitu.
who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus (the) Messiah.
27 Bhai, twaatumilenje a Yuda na a Shila shibhammalanjilanje kwa kang'wa yabhonji gutujandishe gano.
We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
28 Pabha Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo na uwe tushibhona sha mmbone tunantwikanje mishigo ikabhe gene gapinjikwa gala.
For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
29 Yani, nnalyanganje nnyama ibhishilwe mbepei kuyanamu, nnapapilanje minyai na nnalyangaanje nnyama yawa shibhudu, mwiepuyanje na labhalabha. Shintendanje mwammbone mwiepuyangaga na yeneyo. Mwanjangana!”
that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell."
30 Mitume bhala bhakalajilwanjeje, gubhaelelenje kuloya ku Antiokia. Kweneko gubhashemilenje lugwinjili lwa bhakilishitu gubhaapelenje bhaluwa jila.
So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch, and having gathered the congregation together, they delivered the letter.
31 Bhakashomanjeje bhaluwa jila, malobhe gakwe gakwaataganga ntima niguyaanonyelenje kwa kaje.
When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
32 Bhai a Yuda na a Shila, pabha na bhalabhonji pubhalinginji ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu, gubhakungulukenje nabhonji kwa malobhe gamagwinji bhalikwaataganga ntima na kwaashimilikanga.
Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words, and strengthened them.
33 Na bhakatamanganeje kweneko kwa mobha gashoko, bhakilishitu bha ku Antiokia bhakwalajilangaga akuno bhalikwajujilanga ulele, kungai gubhabhujilengene kubhandunji bhaatumilenje.
After they had spent some time there, they were sent back with greetings from the brothers to those that had sent them forth.
34 Ikabheje a Shila gubhabhweni shammbone bhatame koko.
However, Silas decided to remain there.
35 A Pauli na a Bhanabha gubhatemingenenje ku Antiokia kwa mobha, bhalijiganyanga na lunguya lilobhe lya Bhakulungwa pamo na bhandunji bhana bhabhagwinji.
And Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming the word of the Lord, with many others also.
36 Gakapiteje mobha gashoko, a Pauli gubhaabhalanjile a Bhanabha, “Tubhuje tukaowelanje ashaapwetu kila shilambo shitulungwiye lilobhe lya Bhakulungwa, tukaalolanje bhalinginji bhuli.”
After some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let us return now and visit our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing."
37 A Bhanabha gubhapinjile bhalongane nabhonji a Yowana bhaashemwa a Maliko.
Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
38 Ikabheje a Pauli bhangapinga kulongana na a Maliko, pabha ku Pampilia bhashinkwaalekenga nikana kulongana nabhonji kuliengo lyabhonji.
But Paul did not think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and did not go with them to do the work.
39 Bhai, gubhataukengenenje kwa punda, mpaka gubhalekenenje. A Bhanabha gubhaatolile a Maliko, gubhakwelilenje meli kwenda ku Shilia.
Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him, and sailed away to Cyprus,
40 Ikabheje a Pauli gubhaagwile a Shila, bhakilishitu bha penepo bhakaajujilanjeje mboka ja Bhakulungwa, gubhajabhwile.
but Paul chose Silas, and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord.
41 Gwene mwanjago gubhapitile ku Shilia na ku Kilikia, bhalipita shimilika bhandunji bha a Nnungu.
He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
