Matendu 11
1 Wantumintumi na walongu yawalikaliti Yudeya kulii wapikiniriti kuwera wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi viraa washiwankiti shisoweru sha Mlungu.
Now the Apostles and brethren who were in Jerusalem, heard, that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
2 Shipindi Peteru pakawuyiti Yerusalemu, walii wawayingiriti jandu, walikakatala na yomberi,
And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they who were of the circumcision contended with him,
3 “Gwenga gugenda kulikala na wantu wangali kwingiziwa jandu na ata guliya pamuhera nawomberi!
saying, You did go in to men who were uncircumcised, and did eat with them.
4 Panu Peteru kawagambira shinaga ubaga kuusu galii gagatendikiti tangu kwanjira.”
And Peter beginning, opened to them the matter in order, saying,
5 “Lishaka limu nweriti nankuluwa Mlungu mlushi Lwa Yopa, moniti mawonu, moniti shintu gambira lishuka likulu lyankusuluka pasi kulawa kumpindi liweriti likolwa pembi zyakuwi msheshi, litulwa pambwega pangu.
I was praying in the city of Joppa; and, in a trance, I saw a vision, something like a great sheet descending from heaven, let down by the four corners, and it came close to me:
6 Nzunguliriti mngati nweri mona vigongolu wana magulu msheshi, wavigongolu wa mushitogolu, wag'ongolu wawakwawa na wambongu wa kuliyera.
and looking attentively upon it, I observed, and saw four-footed creatures of the earth, and wild beasts, and reptiles, and fowls of the air:
7 Shakapanu mbikanira liziwu lyangung'ambira, ‘Peteru gwimuki, gulagi na guliyi!’
and I heard a voice saying to me, Arise, Peter, kill, and eat:
8 Kumbiti neni pandakula, ‘ndala, Mtuwa! Mana shoseri shashiwera shihumba ama shidoda asheni yingiri mumlomu mwaneni.’
but I said, By no means, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.
9 Liziwu lipikanika kayi kulawa kumpindi, ‘naguvishema vihumba vintu Mlungu vyakavipungiti.’
And the voice answered me the second time from heaven, Those things which God has cleansed, do not you call common.
10 Shitwatira ashi shitendikiti mala ndatu, na upeleru wakuwi viwusiwa kugenda kumpindi.
And this was done three times. And all the things were drawn up again into heaven.
11 Katepu hera, wantu watatu wawaweriti wawalagalira kwaneni kulawa Kaisariya wayingiriti kunumba kwanweriti nankulikala, wankulikala.
And behold, at that instant, three men were come to the house in which I was, sent from Cesarea to me.
12 Rohu kang'ambiriti ng'endi pamuhera nawomberi pota kutira. Walongu sita awa walikoliti pamuhera naneni, twingira mnumba ya muntu ulii.
And the Spirit commanded me to go with them, without any scruple: and these six brethren also went along with me. And we entered into the man's house:
13 Yomberi katugambiriti ntambu yakaweriti kamwona ntumintumi gwa kumpindi kagoloka ukaya kwakuwi na kumgambira, ‘Gumtumi muntu Yopa kakamshemi muntu yumu yawamshema Simoni Peteru.
and he told us how he had seen a messenger standing in his house, and saying to him, Send to Joppa, and bring hither Simon, whose surname is Peter;
14 Yomberi hakakugambiri ujumbi weni haukulopoziyi gwenga na kaya yaku yoseri.’
who shall speak words to you, by which you and all your family shall be saved.
15 Na pakanyanjiti kuyowera hera, Rohu Mnanagala kawasulukiriti gambira ntambu yakatusulukiriti twenga palii pakwanjira.
And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, as as on us at the beginning.
16 Panu nuliholiti visoweru vilii Mtuwa ntambu yakatakuriti, ‘Yohani kabatiziti kwa mashi, kumbiti mwenga hamubatizwi kwa Rohu Mnanagala.’
And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John immersed in water; but you shall be immersed in the Holy Spirit.
17 Su, handa Mlungu kawapanana viraa wantu wa maisi gamonga shirupa shirashilii shakatupiti twenga patumjimiriti Mtuwa Yesu Kristu, hashi, neni ndo gaa ata panjera kumubera Mlungu!”
Since, therefore, God gave to them the same gift as he did to us, who had believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, what was I, that I should be able to obstruct God?
18 Pawapikaniriti aga, walekiti likakatala, wamkwisa Mlungu pawalonga, “Mlungu kawapanana wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi lupenyu lwa kuleka vidoda wapati ukomu!”
And when they heard these things, they acquiesced, and glorified God; saying, God has, then, given to the Gentile also reformation to life.
19 Kulawilirana na ndabiku yairawiliti shipindi Stefanu pawamlagiti, wawumini wapalasiwitwi. Wamonga wagenditi mpaka Foiniki, Kupiru na Antiokiya pawabwera ujumbi ulii kwa Wayawudi hera.
Now, indeed, those who had been dispersed, on account of the distress which arose about Stephen, had traveled as far as Phenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none but Jews only.
20 Kumbiti wamonga wa wantu yawamjimiriti Yesu yawalawiti Kupiru na Kureni, wagenditi Antiokiya pawawubwera ujumbi kwa wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi, pawashibwera Shisoweru Shiwagira kuusu Mtuwa Yesu.
Yet some of the, being men of Cyprus, and Cyrene; when they came to Antioch, spoke to the Greeks, announcing the glad tidings concerning the Lord Jesus.
21 Mtuwa kawatangiti na wantu wavuwa wajimiriti na kumgalambukira Mtuwa.
And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed, and turned to the Lord.
22 Shisoweru sha shitwatira ashi shipikanirika kwa shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu aku Yerusalemu. Hangu wamtuma Barinaba kagendi Antiokiya.
And the report concerning them came to the ears of the congregation that was at Jerusalem; and they sent Barnabas, to go as far as Antioch.
23 Pakasokiti aku na kuwona Mlungu ntambu yakawatekeleriti wantu, kanemeleriti na kawahimiziya woseri walikali muwuwaminika wawu kwa Mtuwa kwa Moyu gwawu goseri.
Who, when he was come, and beheld the favor of God, rejoiced, and exhorted them all to adhere to the Lord, with full determination of heart;
24 Barinaba kaweriti muntu muheri na kamemiti Rohu Mnanagala na njimiru, likundi likulu lya wantu likwegitwi kwa Mtuwa.
for he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith: and a considerable number were added to the Lord.
25 Shakapanu, Barinaba kagenditi Tarisu kumsakula Sauli.
Then Barnabas went to Tarsus, to seek Saul;
26 Pakamwoniti, kamjega Antiokiya. Nawomberi woseri wawili walikala mushipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu kwa shinja shoseri pawafunda shipinga shikulu sha wantu. Antiokiya aku, ndo kwa mala ya kwanja, wafundwa washemitwi wantu yawamjimira Kristu.
and finding him, he brought him to Antioch. And it came to pass, that they assembled with the congregation, for a whole year, and taught considerable numbers; and the disciples were first named Christians at Antioch.
27 Shipindi shiraa shirii, wambuyi wa Mlungu wiziti Antiokiya kulawa Yerusalemu.
And in these days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.
28 Yumu gwawu wamshema Agabu kagolokiti, na kwa makakala ga Rohu katungiti handa hakuweri na njala ngulu muisi yoseri. Njala ayi ilawiriti shipindi sha ukola mlima wa Klawudi.
And one of them, whose name was Agabus, stood up, and signified by the Spirit, that there should be a great famine over all the land: which came to pass in the days of Claudius.
29 Wafundwa walii waamuwiti kila yumu kwa ntambu ya uwezu wakuwi kajegi shoseri su kuwatangitira walongu walii wawaweriti wankulikala Yudeya.
And the disciples determined, that, according to the respective abilities of each, they should send to the assistance of the brethren who dwelt in Judea.
30 Watenda hangu, shakapanu, na kuwapanana mpiya wazewi wa Ludewa lwa Barinaba na Sauli.
And this they did, sending it to the elders, by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
