Matendo ga Mitume 14
1 Ipalikwa katika Ikonia panga Paulo na Barnaba bajingii mpamo katika lisinagogi lya Ayahudi balongela namna ambayo likundi likolo lya bandu Ayahudi na Bayunani.
And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude of the Jews and Greeks believed.
2 Lakini Ayahudi baheshima kwaa balibachochea akili bamataifa na kuwapanga kuwa dhidi ya alongo.
But the unbelieving Jews excited and embittered the minds of the Gentiles against the brethren.
3 Kwa eyo batama kolyo kwa muda mrefu, balongela kwa ujasiri kwa nguvu ya Ngwana, huku akitoa uthibitisho nnani ya ujumbe wa neema yake. Apangite nyoo kwa kutoa ishara na maajabu vipangwe kwa maboko ga Paulo na Barnaba.
Therefore, they continued a long time, and spoke boldly in the Lord, who gave testimony to the word of his grace, by granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4 Lakini eneo likolo lya mji lyatigawanyika: baadhi ya bandu babile pamope na Ayahudi, na benge babile pamope na mitume.
But the multitude of the city were divided; and some were with the Jews, and some with the apostles.
5 Muda bamataifa na Ayahudi bajaribia kubashawishi viongozi wabe kubatendea vibaya na kubakombwa maliwe Paulo na Barnaba.
But when there was a violent purpose on the part of the Gentiles and of the Jews, with their rulers, to outrage and to stone them,
6 batangite lee na kubutukya katika miji ya Likaonia, Listra na Derbe, na maeneo yatilizunguka eneo lee.
being aware of it, they fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and to the region round about,
7 na kolyo batihubiri injili.
and there they preached the gospel.
8 Na kolyo Listra pabile na mundu yumo ywatama, abile kwaa na ngupu mumagolo gake, kilema boka mundu lya mao bake, ywatyanga kwaa.
And there was a certain man in Lystra, without strength in his feet, who sat, for he was a cripple from his mother’s womb, and had never walked.
9 Mundu yolo amyowine Paulo paalongela. Paulo atumbwi minyo na kubona panga abile na imani ya kupona.
This man heard Paul speak, who, looking earnestly on him, and seeing that he had faith to be saved,
10 Nga nyoo abayote kwake kwa lilobe lya nnani, “Yema kwa magolo gako,” Ni yolo mundu attiruka kunani na atumbwile tyanga.
said, with a loud voice: Stand erect upon your feet. And he leaped and walked.
11 Kipenga sa bandu pakibweni saakipangite Paulo, batiinua lilobe lao, kababaya katika lahaja ya Kilikaonio, “nongo itituulukia kwa namna ya mundu.”
When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, and said, in the Lycaonian language: The Gods have come down to us in the likeness of men.
12 Bamkemile Barnaba “Zeu” na Paulo “Herme” kwa mana abile nkolo wa kulongela.
And they called Barnabas, Jupiter, and Paul, Mercury, for he was the chief speaker.
13 Kuhani wa Zeu, ywabile lihekalu lyake libile panja ya mji, aletike fahari lya ng'ombe na mtungo wa maua mpaka pa'nnango wa mji na kipenga sa bandu bapala kutoa sadaka.
Then the priest of Jupiter, whose temple was before the city, having brought bulls and garlands to the entrance, intended to offer sacrifice, with the multitudes.
14 Lakimi mitume, Barnaba na Paulo, payowine lee, batirarua ngobo yao na kwa haraka batiyenda panja mu'kipenga sa bandu, batilela
But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the multitude, crying out,
15 no baya, “Mwenga mwa bandu, kwa mwanja namani mugapanga makowe aga? Na twenga twaabandu kae tubile na hisia kati mwenga. Twaaletea habari njema, panga mukerebuke boka mu'ilebe yoo ifaika kwaa na kumkerebukiya Nnongo ywabile nkoto, ywaiumbile mbingu, dunia na bahari na kila kilebe kibile nkati yake.
and saying: Men, why are you doing these things? We also are human beings, with passions like your own, and we preach the gospel to you, that you may turn from these vanities to the living God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them;
16 Katika nyakati ya nchogo, atibaruhusu mataifa kutyanga katika ndela zao bembe.
who, in past generations, permitted all the nations to walk in their own ways;
17 akini bado, aondoa kwaa bila shahidi, katika lee apangite vizuri na kuwapeya uula boka kumaunde na nyakati za mazao, abatweloe mioyo yinu kwa chakulya na puraha”
and yet he did not leave himself without testimony, doing good, and giving you rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.
18 Hata kwa maneno aga, Paulo na Barnaba kwa shida batikikanikia kipenga sa bandu kubatolea sadaka.
And with these words they hardly restrained the multitudes from offering sacrifice to them.
19 Lakini baadhi ya Ayahudi boka Antiokia na Ikonio baisile kubashawishi bandu. Bamkombwile maliwe Paulo na kumburuta hadi panja ya mji, bakidhani awile.
Then came thither, from Antioch and Iconium, Jews, who persuaded the multitudes; and having stoned Paul, they dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.
20 Hata nyoo banafunzi babile bayemi papipi naywembe, aliamka, nabajingii mjini. Lisoba lya nyaibele, atiyenda Derbe na Barnaba.
But while the disciples were standing around him, he arose, and went into the city. And on the next day, he departed with Barnabas to Derbe;
21 Baada ya kufundisha injili katika mji wolo na kuwapanga banafunzi banyansima, batikerebukya Listra, mpaka Ikoniamu, na mpaka Antiokia.
and when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch,
22 Batiyendelya kuimarisha nafsi ya banafunzi na kubatia mwoyo kuyendelya katika imani, kabaya.”Lazima tuyingii katika ufalme wa Nnongo kwa pitya mateso ganyansima.”
strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, that through many afflictions we mast enter the kingdom of God.
23 Paabanchawile kwa ajili yao apindo ba kila likuanyiko lya baaminio, na babile batiloba na kufunga, batikuakabithi kwa Ngwana, ambae bembe batikumwaminiya.
And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.
24 Boka po baptya ku'Pisidia, pabaikite Pamfilia.
And having passed through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia;
25 Muda balongela maneno katika Perga, batiuluka kuyenda Atalia.
and when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia:
26 Boka kolyo batipanda Antiokia ambako babile bamejitoa kwa neema ya Nnongo kwa ajili ya kazi ambayo nambeambe babile watiikamilisha.
thence they sailed to Antioch, from which place they had been commended to the grace of God, for the work which they had accomplished.
27 Pabaikite Antiokia, na kulikusanya likusanyiko lya mpamo, batitoa taarifa ya makowe ambayo Nnongo agapangite kwa bandu ba mataifa.
And having come and called together the church, they reported all that God had done with them, and that he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
28 Batitama kwa muda mrefu na banafunzi.
And they continued a long time with the disciples.
