Matendo ga Mitume 15
1 Bandu fulani batiuluka boka Uyahudi na kuwafundisha alongo, babaya, “mana mwatairiwa kwaa kati destruri ya Musa, mwaweza kwa lopolelwa.”
And, certain persons, coming down from Judea, began to teach the brethren—Except ye be circumcised according to the custom of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
2 Muda Paulo na Barnaba babile na mapambano na mjadala pamope nao, alongo batiamua panga Paulo, Barnaba, na benge kadhaa bayende Yerusalem kwa mitume na apindo kwa ajili ya swali lee.
And, when Paul and Barnabas had had no little dissension and discussion with them, it was arranged that Paul and Barnabas and certain others from among them should go up unto the Apostles and Elders in Jerusalem concerning this question,
3 Kwa eyo kutumwa kwao na likanisa, bapetya Foinike na Samaria batitangaza kukerebukya nia kwa mataifa. Baletike puraha kolo kwa alongo bote,
They, therefore, being set forward by the Assembly, began passing through Phoenicia and Samaria, fully relating the conversion of them of the nations, and were causing great joy unto all the brethren.
4 Baisile Yerusale, batikaribishwa na likanisa na mitume na apindo, na batiwasilisha taarifa ya makowe gote ambayo Nnongo apangite pamope na bembe.
And, having arrived in Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the Assembly and the Apostles and the Elders; and they recounted all things God had done with them.
5 Lakini bandu fulani batiaminia, babile katika likundi lya Mafarisayo, bayemite nobaya, “ni muhimu kubatahiri na kubaamuru baikamwe sheria ya Musa.”
But there [had] stood forth some of those who, from the sect of Pharisees, had believed, saying—It is needful to be circumcising them, also to charge them to be keeping the law of Moses.
6 Nga nyo mitume na apindo bayemi pamope kulifikiria swala lee.
And the Apostles and Elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
7 Baada ya malongelo ago marefu, Petro ayemi na kulongela kwao, “Alongo mutangite panga kitambo kinoite cha peta Nnongo apangite lichagu kati yinu, panga kwa nkano wango Mataifa baliyowe neno lya injili, na aminia.
And, when much discussion had arisen, Peter standing up, said unto them—Brethren! Ye yourselves, well know that, in days long past, amongst you, God chose that, through my mouth, the nations should hear the word of the glad tidings, and believe.
8 Nnongo, ywautangite mwoyo, atishuhudia kwabe, abapeya Roho mtakatifu, kati ya apangite kwitu.
And, the heart-observing God, bare witness, —unto them, giving the Holy Spirit, just as, even unto us;
9 na atuchengya kwa utofauti kati yitu ni bembe, aipangite mioyo yabe safi kwa imani.
and made no distinction at all betwixt us and them, by their faith, purifying their hearts.
10 Kwa eyo kwa namani mwamjaribu Nnongo panga muibeke nira nnani ya ingo ya banafunzi ambayo hata tate bitu wala twenga twaweza kwa kustamili?
Now, therefore, why are ye proving God, that ye should put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which, neither our fathers, nor we, have been able to bear.
11 Lakini twaaminiya panga twalowa lopolelwa kwa neema ya Ngwana Yesu, kati ya babile.
But, through the favour of the Lord Jesus, we believe we shall be saved, in like manner as, even they.
12 Likusanyiko lyote lyatinyamaza pababile bakimsikiliza Barnaba na Paulo pababile bakitoa taarifa ya ishara na maajabu ambayo Nnongo apangite pamope nabo kati ya bandu ba mataifa.
And all the throng held their peace, and began to hearken unto Barnabas and Paul relating how many signs and wonders God had done among the nations, through them.
13 Pabalekite longela, Yakobo kayangwa nobaya, “Alongo munisikilize.
And, after they held their peace, James answered, saying—Brethren! hearken unto me.
14 Simoni atielezea jinsi kwanza Nnongo kwa neema atibasaidia Mataifa ili panga ajipatie boka kwao bandu kwa ajili ya lina lyake.
Symeon, hath fully told how God, first visited, to take out of the nations, a people for his name.
15 Maneno ga manabii yanakubaliana na lee kati lyaliandikilwe.
And, with this, agree the words of the prophets, according as it is written—
16 'Baada ya makowe aga nalowa kerebukya na kulichenga kae lihema lya Daudi, lyalitombokya pae; na nalowa kuiinua na kuhuisha uharibifu wake,
After these things, will I return, and will rebuild the tent of David that hath fallen, and, the ruins thereof, will I rebuild, and will set it up again:
17 ili panga bandu balo batisalia bampale Ngwana, pamope na bandu ba mataifa bakemilwe kwa lina lyango.'
That the residues of men may seek out the Lord, and all the nations upon whom my name hath been called, saith the Lord that doeth these things,
Known from age-past times. (aiōn g165)
19 Nga nyoo bai, ushauri wangu ni, panga kana tuwapeye shida bandu ba mataifa bamkerebukia Nnongo;
Wherefore, I, judge, not to be troubling them who, from the nations, are turning unto God;
20 Lakini tuandike kwabe panga bajiepushe mable na uharibu ba sanamu, tamaa za uasherati, na nyongeza, na myai.
but to write unto them, to abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood.
21 Boka ibeleki ga apindo babile bandu katika kila mji wahubiria na kumsoma Musa katika masinagogi kila Sabato.”
For, Moses, out of ancient generation, hath, in every city, them who proclaim him; seeing, that in the synagogues, every sabbath, he is read.
22 Kwa eyo itibonekana kuwa yatibapendeza mitume na apindo, pamope na likanisa lyote, kuchawa Yuda ywakemelwa Barsaba na Silas, babile viongozi ba likanisa, na kubatuma Antiokia pamope na Paulo na Barnaba.
Then, seemed it good unto the Apostles and the Elders with the whole Assembly to send chosen men from among them unto Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, —even Judas who is called Barsabbas, and Silas, men taking a lead among the brethren:
23 Batiandika nyoo, “Mitume, apindo na alongo, kwa alongo ba Mataifa babile Antiokia, Shamu na Kilikia, salamu
writing through their hand—The Apostles and the Elder Brethren, unto the brethren throughout Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, who are from among the nations, wish joy!
24 Tuyowine panga bandu fulani ambao batibapatia kwaa amri yee, baboka kwitu na watibataabisha kwa afundisho galetayo shida mu'nafsi yinu.
Inasmuch as we had heard that, certain from among us, had troubled you with words, dismantling your souls, —unto whom we had given no instructions,
25 Kwa eyo ibonekana vyema kwitu twabote kuchawa bandu na kubatuma kwinu pamope na apendwa witu Barnaba na Paulo,
It seemed good unto us, coming to be of one accord, that we should choose men and send them unto you, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, —
26 bandu babile bahatarisha maisha yabe kwa ajili ya lina lya Ngwana Yesu Kristo.
men who have given up their lives in behalf of the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Kwa eyo twatimtuma Yuda na Sila, balowa kuwabakiya makowe hago ago.
We have sent, therefore, Judas and Silas, who also, themselves, by word of mouth, can tell you the same things.
28 Kwa kuwa itibonekana vyema kwa Roho Mtakatifu na kwitu, kubeka kwaa nnani yinu mzigo nkolo kuliko makowe aga gabile ya lazima:
For it hath seemed good unto the Holy Spirit and unto us, no greater burden, to be laying upon you, than these necessary things: —
29 panga mkerebuke boka mu'ilebe yatitolewa kwa sanamu, myai, ilebe ya kunyonga, na umalaya. Mana mwalowa jibeka kutalu na ayee, ipalika vyema kwinu. Kwa heri.”
To be abstaining from idol sacrifices, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication, —From which, if ye keep yourselves, ye shall prosper. Fare ye well.
30 Nga nyo bai, pabatawanyishwa, batiuluka Antiokia; baada ya kukusanya likusanyiko mpamo, batiwasilisha barua.
They, therefore, being let go, came down unto Antioch; and, having gathered together the throng, delivered the letter,
31 Pababile baisoma, batipuraika kwa sababu ya kutiwa mwoyo.
and, when they read it, they rejoiced for the consolation.
32 Yuda na Sila, na manabii balibatia mwoyo alongo kwa maneno ganyansima na kubapeya ngupu.
And, both Judas and Silas, being themselves also prophets, with much discourse, consoled and confirmed the brethren.
33 Baada ta tama kwa muda fulani kolyo, batibatawanyisha kwa amani boka kwa alongo kwa balo babatumile.
And, when they had spent a time, they were let go, in peace, from the brethren, unto them who had sent them.
34 (Lakini ibonekana vyema Sila kubaki kolyo)
35 Lakini Paulo na benge batami Antiokia pamope na benge bengi, ambapo batifundisha na kuhubiri neno lya Ngwana.
But, Paul and Barnabas, tarried in Antioch, teaching and telling the joyful tidings, —along with many others also, —of the word of the Lord.
36 Baada ya masoba kadhaa Paulo kambakiya Barnaba, “Tukerebukyange nambeambe na kubatembelea alongo katika kila mji twalihubiri neno lya Ngwana, na kuabona babile namani.
And, after certain days, Paul, said unto Barnabas—Let us now return, and visit the brethren in every city in which we have declared the word of the Lord, and see how they are.
37 Barnaba apala kuntola Yohana pamope ni bembe ywakemwa Marko.
And, Barnabas, was minded to take with them John also, called Mark;
38 Lakini Paulo kawaza kuwa inoite kwaa kuntola Marko, ywaalekite Pamfilia na ayendelea nabo kwaa katika kazi.
but Paul deemed it right, as to him who had withdrawn from them, back from Pamphylia, and had not gone with them unto the work, not to be taking with them, this, man.
39 Pabile na mabishano makolo kwa eyo batitengana, na Barnaba atintola Marko na kusafiri kwa meli mpaka Kipro,
And there arose an angry feeling, so that they separated one from the other: and, Barnabas, taking Mark, sailed away unto Cyprus, —
40 Lakini Paulo atimchawa Sila na kuboka, baada ya kukabidhiwa na alongo katika neema ya Ngwana.
whereas, Paul, choosing Silas, went forth, committed unto the favour of the Lord by the brethren,
41 Na atiyenda pitya Shamu na Kilikia, atiimarisha makanisa.
and proceeded to pass through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the assemblies.
