Itendi 15
1 Bhai, gubhaikengenenje bhandunji ku Antiokia kopokanga ku Yudea gubhatandubhenje kwaajiganyanga bhakilishitu kuti, “Ibhaga nkajalukanje malinga shiilugwilwe Mmalajilo ga a Musha nkatapulwanga.”
And certain men came down from Judaea and taught the brethren, [saying], Except ye be circumcised after the custom of Moses, ye 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.
And when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and questioning with them, [the brethren] appointed that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto 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 therefore, being brought on their way by the church, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.
4 Bhakaikangananjeje ku Yelushalemu gubhaposhelwenje na bhandunji bha a Nnungu na mitume na bhanangulungwa, na bhalabhonji gubhaatalashiyenje yowe ibhatendile a Nnungu pamo na bhanganyabho.
And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church and the apostles and the elders, and they rehearsed 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 there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying, It is needful to circumcise them, and to charge them to keep the law of Moses.
6 Bhai, mitume na bhanangulungwa gubhatemingenenje lukumbi bhaliganishiyanje lilobhelyo.
And the apostles and the elders were gathered together to consider of 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.
And when there had been much questioning, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles 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.
And God, which knoweth the heart, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;
9 Wala bhangaagula uwe na bhanganyabho, bhashikujitakaya mitima jabhonji kwa ngulupai.
and 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 tempt ye God, that ye should put a yoke upon 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 shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in like manner as they.
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 multitude kept silence; and they hearkened unto Barnabas and Paul rehearsing what signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
13 A Bhanabha na Pauli bhakapumulanjeje kutalashiya, a Yakobho gubhatandwibhe kubheleketa bhalinkuti, “Ashaapwanga mmbilikanishiyanje!
And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Brethren, hearken unto 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.
Symeon hath rehearsed how first God did visit the Gentiles, 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,
And to this agree 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 build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen; And I will build again the ruins thereof, And I will set it up:
17 Nkupinga bhandunji bhaigelenje, na bha ilambo ina bhaashemwanga kwa lina lyangu, bhaaloleyanje Bhakulungwa.
That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, And all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called,
Saith the Lord, who maketh these things known from the beginning of the world. (aiōn g165)
19 “Kwa nneyo, nne ngunatenda nnei, tunaabhuyanje bhandunji bhangabha Bhayaudi bhakwaatendebhushilanga a Nnungu.
Wherefore my judgment is, that we trouble not them which from among the Gentiles 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 unto them, that they abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and 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 hath in every city them that preach 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; [namely], Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren:
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.
and they wrote [thus] by them, The apostles and the elder brethren unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greeting:
24 Tupilikene kuti bhandunji bhananji bha kopoka kunngwetu kuno bhashikumpuganyanga kwa malobhe gabhonji, nikumpanganga lipamba mmitima jenunji. Ikabheje akuno jwakwa abhatumilenje.
Forasmuch as we have heard that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting 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 unto us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 bhandunji bhaikakatimilenje gumi gwabhonji kwa ligongo lya liengo lya a Yeshu Kilishitu.
men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Bhai, twaatumilenje a Yuda na a Shila shibhammalanjilanje kwa kang'wa yabhonji gutujandishe gano.
We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves also shall 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 Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden 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 ye abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which if ye keep yourselves, it shall be well with you. Fare ye well.
30 Mitume bhala bhakalajilwanjeje, gubhaelelenje kuloya ku Antiokia. Kweneko gubhashemilenje lugwinjili lwa bhakilishitu gubhaapelenje bhaluwa jila.
So they, when they were dismissed, came down to Antioch; and having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle.
31 Bhakashomanjeje bhaluwa jila, malobhe gakwe gakwaataganga ntima niguyaanonyelenje kwa kaje.
And when they had read it, they rejoiced for the consolation.
32 Bhai a Yuda na a Shila, pabha na bhalabhonji pubhalinginji ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu, gubhakungulukenje nabhonji kwa malobhe gamagwinji bhalikwaataganga ntima na kwaashimilikanga.
And Judas and Silas, being themselves also prophets, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed them.
33 Na bhakatamanganeje kweneko kwa mobha gashoko, bhakilishitu bha ku Antiokia bhakwalajilangaga akuno bhalikwajujilanga ulele, kungai gubhabhujilengene kubhandunji bhaatumilenje.
And after they had spent some time [there], they were dismissed in peace from the brethren unto those that had sent them forth.
34 Ikabheje a Shila gubhabhweni shammbone bhatame koko.
35 A Pauli na a Bhanabha gubhatemingenenje ku Antiokia kwa mobha, bhalijiganyanga na lunguya lilobhe lya Bhakulungwa pamo na bhandunji bhana bhabhagwinji.
But Paul and Barnabas tarried in Antioch, teaching and preaching 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.”
And after some days Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us return now and visit the brethren in every city wherein we proclaimed the word of the Lord, [and see] how they fare.
37 A Bhanabha gubhapinjile bhalongane nabhonji a Yowana bhaashemwa a Maliko.
And Barnabas was minded to take with them John also, who was called Mark.
38 Ikabheje a Pauli bhangapinga kulongana na a Maliko, pabha ku Pampilia bhashinkwaalekenga nikana kulongana nabhonji kuliengo lyabhonji.
But Paul thought not good to take with them him who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
39 Bhai, gubhataukengenenje kwa punda, mpaka gubhalekenenje. A Bhanabha gubhaatolile a Maliko, gubhakwelilenje meli kwenda ku Shilia.
And there arose a sharp contention, so that they parted asunder one from the other, and Barnabas took Mark with him, and sailed away unto Cyprus;
40 Ikabheje a Pauli gubhaagwile a Shila, bhakilishitu bha penepo bhakaajujilanjeje mboka ja Bhakulungwa, gubhajabhwile.
but Paul chose Silas, and went forth, being commended by the brethren to the grace of the Lord.
41 Gwene mwanjago gubhapitile ku Shilia na ku Kilikia, bhalipita shimilika bhandunji bha a Nnungu.
And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
