Matendu 14
1 Mewawa ku Ikonio kula, Pauli na Banaba vakayingila munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi. Vakalongela cha ukekesi hati msambi uvaha wa Vayawudi na Vagiliki vakasadika.
Now in Iconium they went together to the Synagogue of the Jews and gave such teaching that a great number of Jews and Greeks had faith.
2 Nambu Vayawudi vevabeli kusadika vakavakulukisa vandu vangali Vayawudi vavayomela Pauli na Banaba.
But those Jews who had not the faith, made the minds of the Gentiles bitter against the brothers.
3 Vayendalili kutama kwenuko mulukumbi lutali. Vakalongela cha ukekesi ndava ya Bambu, na Bambu mwene ajilangisi uchakaka wa ujumbi wevihumisa kwa ubwina waki, kwa kuvahotosa kukita gachinamtiti na makangaso.
So they kept there for a long time, taking heart in the Lord, who gave witness to the word of his grace by causing signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4 Vandu va muji wula vakalekengana, vangi vakavya upandi wa Vayawudi na vangi vakavya upandi wa vamitumi vala.
But there was a division among the people of the town; some were on the side of the Jews and some on the side of the Apostles.
5 Kangi vandu vangali Vayawudi na Vayawudi pamonga na vachilongosi wavi, vakakita mpangu wa kuvakitila gahakau na kuvakoma kwa maganga.
And when a violent attempt was made by the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, to make an attack on them and have them stoned,
6 Vamitumi vala pevamanyili mpangu wenuwo, vakajumbalila ku Lusitila na ku Delibe, miji ya ku Lukonia, na pamwambu ya miji ya papipi,
Having got news of it, they went in flight to the towns of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and the country round about:
7 ndi vakayendelela kukokosa Lilovi la Bwina.
And went on preaching the good news there.
8 Lusitila kwenuko kwavili na mundu mmonga mweavi ngagenda kutumbula kuvelekewa kwaki, katu nakuhotola kugenda.
And at Lystra there was a certain man, who from birth had been without the use of his feet, never having had the power of walking.
9 Ngagenda yula amyuwanilayi Pauli peakokosayi. Hinu Pauli akamlolokesa takataka na peamanyili kuvya avi na sadika ya kuhotola kulamiswa,
This man was giving ear to the preaching of Paul, who, looking at him, and seeing that he had faith to be made well,
10 akamjovela kwa lwami luvaha, “Yima na magendelu gaku!” Bahapo mundu yula akahumba na kutumbula kugenda.
Said in a loud voice, Get up on your feet. And, jumping up, he went walking about.
11 Msambi wa vandu pavawene lijambu leakitili Pauli, vakajova kwa lwami luvaha muluga ya Kilukaonia, “Hinu vachapanga vatibwelili kwa musula ya mundu!”
And when the people saw what Paul had done, they said in a loud voice, in the language of Lycaonia, The gods have come down to us in the form of men.
12 Vakavapele mahina ga uchapanga, Banaba vakamkemela Zeu, na Pauli ndava muni avi mjovaji mkulu, vakamkemela Helime.
And they gave the name of Jupiter to Barnabas, and to Paul that of Mercury, because he was the chief talker.
13 Mteta wa chapanga Zeu, nyumba yaki yavi pamuhana ya muji, akagega ng'ombi mpapakasi na njingwa ya maluva palongolo ya mlyangu ukulu muji pamonga na msambi wa vandu vagana kuvawusila luteta vamitumi.
And the priest of the image of Jupiter, which was before the town, took oxen and flowers to the doors of the town, and was about to make an offering with the people.
14 Nambu Banaba na Pauli pevayuwini malovi gala vakapapula nyula zavi na kujumbalila pamsambi wa vandu wula, na kujova kwa lwami luvaha.
But when this came to the ears of the Apostles, Paul and Barnabas, they went running out among the people, parting their clothing, and crying out,
15 “Vagosi nyenye, ndava kyani mwikita lijambu lenili? Tete mewa tavandu ngati nyenye. Ndi tikuvakokosela Lilovi la Bwina, nyenye mukoto kugundamila chimong'omong'o, mumuwuyila Chapanga wa wumi, mweawumbili kunani na mulima na nyanja pamonga na vindu vyoha.
Good people, why are you doing these things? We are men with the same feelings as you, and we give you the good news so that you may be turned away from these foolish things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all things in them:
16 Kadeni Chapanga avalekekisi vandu voha vahenga chevigana vene.
Who in the past let all nations go in the ways which seemed good to them.
17 Nambu Chapanga alekili lepi kujilangisa kwa mambu gabwina geavahengili, kuvatonyela fula kuhuma kunani, kuvapela mabenu mulukumbi lwaki na kuvapela chakulya cha kuyimemesa mitima yavi luheku.”
But he was not without witness, because he did good, and gave you rain from heaven and times of fruit, making your hearts full of food and joy.
18 Pamonga na vamitumi kujova malovi genago, yavili nakunonopa kuubelelela msambi wa vandu ukoto kuvawusila luteta.
And even with these words, it was hard for them to keep the people from making an offering to them.
19 Kangi Vayawudi nunuyu vakabwela kuhuma Antiokia na Ikonio, vakavakulukisa vandu, vamtova Pauli na maganga. Vakamkwega mbaka kuvala ya muji, kuni vahololela afwili.
But some Jews came to that place from Antioch and Iconium, and got control over the people; and after stoning Paul, they had him pulled out of the town, taking him for dead.
20 Nambu vawuliwa pavamtindili akayumuka akawuya kumujini. Chilau yaki mwene pamonga na Banaba vakahamba ku Delibe.
But when the disciples came round him, he got up and went into the town: and the day after he went away with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 Pauli na Banaba vakakokosa Lilovi la Bwina ku Delibe, ndi vakayonjokeseka vawuliwa vamahele. Kangi vakawuya ku Antiokia vakavedukila Lusitila na Ikonio.
And having made a number of disciples through the preaching of the good news in that town, they went back to Lystra and Iconium and Antioch,
22 Ndi vakavakangamalisa mitima vamsadika, vasindimala na sadika yavi, vakavajovela ngati tavoha yikutigana kuyingila Muunkosi wa Chapanga munjila ya mang'ahiso gavaha.
Making strong the souls of the disciples, saying to them that they were to keep the faith, and that we have to go through troubles of all sorts to come into the kingdom of God.
23 Pauli na Banaba vakavahagula vagogo mukila msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu ndava ya kuyupa Chapanga na kujihinisa chakulya, vakavavika muulonda wa Bambu mwevakumsadika.
And when they had made selection of some to be rulers in every church, and had given themselves to prayer and kept themselves from food, they put them into the care of the Lord in whom they had faith.
24 Pevamalili kupitila Pisidia ndi vakahika Pamfulia.
And they went through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.
25 Kangi pevamalili kuvakokosela ujumbi wula vandu va ku Peliga, ndi vakahamba ku Atalia.
And, after preaching the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia;
26 Mulugendu vakahuma ku Atalia vakawuya ku Antiokia kwevayupiwi ubwina wa Chapanga, ndava ya lihengu levakitili.
And from there they went by ship to Antioch, where they had been handed over to the grace of God for the work which they had not done.
27 Na pavahikili vahengili mngonganu na vamsadika vakavajovela vandu mambu goha, Chapanga geagahengili pamonga nawu, na cheavadindulili vandu vangali Vayawudi mlyangu wa sadika.
And when they came there, and had got the church together, they gave them an account of all the things which God had done through them, and how he had made open a door of faith to the Gentiles.
28 Ndi vakatama pamonga mulukumbi lutali na vamsadika vala.
And they were with the disciples there for a long time.
