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.
In Iconium, they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed.
2 Lakini Ayahudi baheshima kwaa balibachochea akili bamataifa na kuwapanga kuwa dhidi ya alongo.
But the disbelieving Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers.
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 stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, 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 was divided. Part sided with the Jews and part with the apostles.
5 Muda bamataifa na Ayahudi bajaribia kubashawishi viongozi wabe kubatendea vibaya na kubakombwa maliwe Paulo na Barnaba.
When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them,
6 batangite lee na kubutukya katika miji ya Likaonia, Listra na Derbe, na maeneo yatilizunguka eneo lee.
they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.
7 na kolyo batihubiri injili.
There they preached the Good News.
8 Na kolyo Listra pabile na mundu yumo ywatama, abile kwaa na ngupu mumagolo gake, kilema boka mundu lya mao bake, ywatyanga kwaa.
At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.
9 Mundu yolo amyowine Paulo paalongela. Paulo atumbwi minyo na kubona panga abile na imani ya kupona.
He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,
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 upright on your feet!” He leaped up 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, saying in the language of Lycaonia, “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.
They called Barnabas “Jupiter”, and Paul “Mercury”, because 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.
The priest of Jupiter, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have made a sacrifice along 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 tore their clothes and sprang into 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.
“Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of the same nature as you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;
16 Katika nyakati ya nchogo, atibaruhusu mataifa kutyanga katika ndela zao bembe.
who in the generations gone by allowed 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”
Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”
18 Hata kwa maneno aga, Paulo na Barnaba kwa shida batikikanikia kipenga sa bandu kubatolea sadaka.
Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a 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.
But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and 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 as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 Baada ya kufundisha injili katika mji wolo na kuwapanga banafunzi banyansima, batikerebukya Listra, mpaka Ikoniamu, na mpaka Antiokia.
When they had preached the Good News to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and 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 that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.
23 Paabanchawile kwa ajili yao apindo ba kila likuanyiko lya baaminio, na babile batiloba na kufunga, batikuakabithi kwa Ngwana, ambae bembe batikumwaminiya.
When they had appointed elders for them in every assembly, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord on whom they had believed.
24 Boka po baptya ku'Pisidia, pabaikite Pamfilia.
They passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.
25 Muda balongela maneno katika Perga, batiuluka kuyenda Atalia.
When they had spoken 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.
From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.
27 Pabaikite Antiokia, na kulikusanya likusanyiko lya mpamo, batitoa taarifa ya makowe ambayo Nnongo agapangite kwa bandu ba mataifa.
When they had arrived and had gathered the assembly together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.
28 Batitama kwa muda mrefu na banafunzi.
They stayed there with the disciples for a long time.
