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.
And it came to pass in Iconium, that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a very great multitude both of the Jews and of the Greeks did believe.
2 Nambu Vayawudi vevabeli kusadika vakavakulukisa vandu vangali Vayawudi vavayomela Pauli na Banaba.
But the unbelieving Jews stirred up and incensed the minds of the Gentiles against the brethren.
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.
A long time therefore they abode there, dealing confidently in the Lord, who gave testimony to the word of his grace, granting 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.
And the multitude of the city was divided; and some of them indeed held with the Jews, but some with the apostles.
5 Kangi vandu vangali Vayawudi na Vayawudi pamonga na vachilongosi wavi, vakakita mpangu wa kuvakitila gahakau na kuvakoma kwa maganga.
And when there was an assault made by the Gentiles and the Jews with their rulers, to use them contumeliously, and to stone them:
6 Vamitumi vala pevamanyili mpangu wenuwo, vakajumbalila ku Lusitila na ku Delibe, miji ya ku Lukonia, na pamwambu ya miji ya papipi,
They understanding it, fled to Lystra, and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the whole country round about,
7 ndi vakayendelela kukokosa Lilovi la Bwina.
and were there preaching the gospel.
8 Lusitila kwenuko kwavili na mundu mmonga mweavi ngagenda kutumbula kuvelekewa kwaki, katu nakuhotola kugenda.
And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.
9 Ngagenda yula amyuwanilayi Pauli peakokosayi. Hinu Pauli akamlolokesa takataka na peamanyili kuvya avi na sadika ya kuhotola kulamiswa,
This same heard Paul speaking. Who looking upon him, and seeing that he had faith to be healed,
10 akamjovela kwa lwami luvaha, “Yima na magendelu gaku!” Bahapo mundu yula akahumba na kutumbula kugenda.
Said with a loud voice: Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped up, and walked.
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 multitudes had seen what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice in the Lycaonian tongue, saying: The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men;
12 Vakavapele mahina ga uchapanga, Banaba vakamkemela Zeu, na Pauli ndava muni avi mjovaji mkulu, vakamkemela Helime.
And they called Barnabas, Jupiter: but Paul, Mercury; because he was chief speaker.
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.
The priest also of Jupiter that was before the city, bringing oxen and garlands before the gate, would have offered sacrifice 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.
Which, when the apostles Barnabas and Paul had heard, rending their clothes, they leaped out among the people, crying,
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.
And saying: Ye men, why do ye these things? We also are mortals, men like unto you, preaching to you to be converted from these vain things, to the living God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them:
16 Kadeni Chapanga avalekekisi vandu voha vahenga chevigana vene.
Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.
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.”
Nevertheless he left not himself without testimony, doing good from heaven, giving rains and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.
18 Pamonga na vamitumi kujova malovi genago, yavili nakunonopa kuubelelela msambi wa vandu ukoto kuvawusila luteta.
And speaking these things, they scarce restrained the people from sacrificing 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.
Now there came thither certain Jews from Antioch, and Iconium: and persuading the multitude, and stoning Paul, drew him out of the city, thinking him to be dead.
20 Nambu vawuliwa pavamtindili akayumuka akawuya kumujini. Chilau yaki mwene pamonga na Banaba vakahamba ku Delibe.
But as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up and entered into the city, and the next day he departed 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 when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch:
22 Ndi vakavakangamalisa mitima vamsadika, vasindimala na sadika yavi, vakavajovela ngati tavoha yikutigana kuyingila Muunkosi wa Chapanga munjila ya mang'ahiso gavaha.
Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith: and that through many tribulations we must enter 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 ordained to them priests in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, in whom they believed.
24 Pevamalili kupitila Pisidia ndi vakahika Pamfulia.
And passing through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia.
25 Kangi pevamalili kuvakokosela ujumbi wula vandu va ku Peliga, ndi vakahamba ku Atalia.
And having spoken the word of the Lord in Perge, they went down into Attalia:
26 Mulugendu vakahuma ku Atalia vakawuya ku Antiokia kwevayupiwi ubwina wa Chapanga, ndava ya lihengu levakitili.
And thence they sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been delivered to the grace of God, unto the work which they accomplished.
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 were come, and had assembled the church, they related what great things God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
28 Ndi vakatama pamonga mulukumbi lutali na vamsadika vala.
And they abode no small time with the disciples.
