Matendu 13
1 Mushipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu aku Antiokiya kuweriti na wantu wamonga yawaweriti wambuyi wa Mlungu na wafunda, muwamu kaweriti Barinaba, na Simoni yawamshema viraa Nigeri, na Lukiu gwa Kureni, Sauli na Manaeni ndo yomberi kaleritwi pamuhera na mfalumi Herodi.
Now, there were in the congregation that was at Antioch, certain prophets and teachers; particularly, Barnabas, and Simeon, who was called Niger, and Lucius, the Cyrenian, and Manaen, who was educated with Herod, the tetrarch, and Saul.
2 Pawaweriti wankutenda ibada yawu kwa Mtuwa na koya kuliya, Rohu Mnanagala katakula, “Gunzyaguliri Barinaba na Sauli toziya ya lihengu lyanuwashemiriti.”
And as they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Separate to me Barnabas and Saul, for the work to which I have called them.
3 Su, pawaluwiti Mlungu kala na koya kuliya, wawatulira mawoku, wawaleka wagendi zawu.
And having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them; they dismissed them.
4 Barinaba na Sauli pawatumitwi kala na Rohu Mnanagala, wasulukiti mpaka Selewukiya, na kulawa aku wakweniti mtubwi mpaka shisiwa sha Kupiru.
They, therefore, being sent by the Holy Spirit, departed to Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus;
5 Pawasokiti Salami wabweriti shisoweru sha Mlungu munumba za Wayawudi za kuluwira Mlungu, kwaniti Yohani Mariku pamuhera na womberi kutanga lihengu.
and being arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; and they had also John for their attendant.
6 Wagendigenditi kulawa uwega wumu wa shisiwa mpaka Pafu, uwega wa pili, na aku wamwoniti mhawi yumu mbuyi gwa mpayu Myawudi yawamshema Baliyesu ndo kalipayiriti kawera mbuyi gwa Mlungu.
And having traversed the island, as far as Paphos, they found a certain Jew, a magician and false prophet, whose name was Barjesus;
7 Kaweriti ganja gwa mkolamlima gwa shisiwa Serigiu Paulu, ndo yomberi kaweriti muntu mheri nentu. Serigiwu Paulu kawashemiti Barinaba na Sauli su kapikaniri shisoweru sha Mlungu.
who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who calling for Barnabas and Saul desired to hear the word of God.
8 Kumbiti ayu muhawi Elima, handa ntambu yakaweriti kashemwa kwa Shigiriki, kajeriti kuwaberibeziya su kumlewelera mkulu gwa shisiwa nakiza kugalambukira njimiru ya shikristu.
But Elymas, the magician, (for that was his name, when translated, ) withstood them, endeavoring to turn away the proconsul from the faith.
9 Su, Sauli kamanikana kwa litawu lwa Paulu, pakawera kamema Rohu Mnanagala, kamkwenjulira masu mhawi ayu,
Then Saul, (who is also called Paul, ) being filled with the Holy Spirit, and looking steadfastly upon him,
10 Na kalonga, “Gwenga! Gwenga mwana gwa Mkondola! Gwenga gwa mngondu gwa shoseri shilii shashimfiriziya Mlungu, goya ndiri ata mala yimu kujera kuzipotiziya njira za Mtuwa zyazinyoshikiti.
said, O! full of all deceit, and of all wickedness! child of the devil! enemy of all righteousness! will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
11 Vinu, liwoku lwa Mtuwa halikukomi, haguweri na lwisi na hapeni guwezi kuwona uweru wa mshenji kwa shipindi.” Katepu Elima masu gakuwi gadunuka kanja kugenda aku na aku pakasakula muntu gwa kumkola liwoku kamlonguziyi.
And, behold, now the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, and not see the sun for a time. And, immediately, a mist and darkness fell upon him; and going about, he sought some to lead him by the hand.
12 Mkola mlima ulii pakawoniti yagalawiriti, kajimiriti, kalikangashiti nentu mafundu gakapikiniriti kuusu Mtuwa.
Then the proconsul, seeing what was done, believed; being struck with the doctrine of the Lord.
13 Kulawa Pafu, Paulu na wayaguwi wagenda nyanyi mpaka Periga Mupamfiliya, kumbiti Yohani Mariku kawalekiti, kawuya Yerusalemu.
And loosing from Paphos, they who were with Paul, came to Perga, in Pamphylia; but John withdrew himself from them, and returned to Jerusalem.
14 Wanja kulawa Periga wasoka Antiokiya na Pisidiya, na Lishaka lya kwoyera wingiriti munumba ya Mlungu, walivaga.
Nevertheless, they, going on from Perga, came to Antioch, in Pisidia: and entering into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they sat down.
15 Pawasomiti kala mushintola sha malagaliru ga Musa na mmalembu ga wambuyi, wakulu wa numba ya Mlungu wawajegiriti ujumbi awu, Walongu handa, mwanashi shitwatira sha kuwagambira wantu su waweri na moyu muwagambiri.
And after the reading of the law and the prophets; the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Brethren, if you have any word of exhortation to the people, speak it.
16 Su, Paulu kagolokiti, kawapungira liwoku, kanja kulonga, “Wanalushi wa Israeli na Wayawudi ndiri yamwamuguwira Mlungu, mpikinilireni!
Then Paul stood up, and waiving his hand, said, Men of Israel, and you that fear God, hearken.
17 Mlungu gwa wantu wa Israeli kawasyaguliti wambuyi wetu na kuwatenda waweri lushi lukulu pawaweriti wahenga Misri kulii. Mlungu kawalaviyiti aku kwa likakala likulu.
The God of this people chose our fathers, and raised the people while sojourning in the land of Egypt; and led them out of it with an uplifted arm.
18 Kawahepeleriti kwa shipindi sha vinja malongu msheshi kushiwala.
And for a space of about forty years, he endured their behavior in the wilderness.
19 Kagaharibisiyiti maisi saba ga isi ya Kanaani kawayupa wantu wakuwi awa isi iweri yawu.
And having cast out seven nations in the land of Canaan, he distributed their country to them for an inheritance.
20 Vinja mia msheshi na magumba muhanu gapititi, shakapanu kawapananiti watoza wawalongoziyi mpaka shipindi sha mbuyi gwa Mlungu Samweli.
And after these transactions, which lasted about four hundred and fifty years' he gave them judges, till Samuel the prophet.
21 Panu wafiriti waweri na mfalumi na Mlungu kawayupa Sauli, mwananguta gwa Kishi gwa likabila lya Benjamini, kaweriti mfalumi gwawu kwa shipindi sha vinja malongu mhanu.
And, from that time, they desired a king: and God gave them Saul, the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for the term of forty years.
22 Pawamwusiyiti kala Sauli, Mlungu kumsaguliti Dawudi kaweri Mtuwa gwawu. Mlungu kalaviyiti shibali shakuwi kwakuwi pakalonga, ‘Numwoniti Dawudi mwananguta gwa Yese, muntu gwanumfira neni, muntu mweni hakatendi goseri galii nganfira kugatenda.’
And, having removed him, he raised up to them David, for a king; whom also he extolled, and said, "I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man according to my own heart, who shall do all my will."
23 Kulawa mushiyiwuku sha muntu ayu, Mlungu kawajegera Waisraeli Mlopoziya mweni ndo Yesu ntambu yakalagiliti.
Of this man's seed, according to the promise, God raised up to Israel, Jesus, the Saviour;
24 Pamberi pa Yesu kwanja lihengu lyakuwi, Yohani kawabweliriti wantu woseri wa Israeli handa mpaka waleki vidoda na wabatizwi.
John having, to introduce his appearance, before he preached the immersion of reformation to all the people of Israel.
25 Yohani pakaweriti kankumalira ujumbi wakuwi kawagambiriti wantu, ‘Mlihola neni na gaa? Neni ndiri ulii yamumlolera. Mpikiniri! Ayu kamkwiza pa neni na neni nfiruwa ndiri ata kuziyopola ngoyi za vilwatu vyakuwi.’
And when John was fulfilling his course, he said, Whom do you imagine me to be? I am not He; but behold, there comes one after me, the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.
26 “Walongu, mwenga wamwera wananguta wa lukolu lwa Aburahamu, na woseri wawawera Wayawudi ndiri wamwamguwira Mlungu! Ujumbi awu wa ulopoziya ujegwa kwa twenga.
Brethren, children of the family of Abraham, and those among you that fear God; to you is the word of this salvation sent:
27 Toziya wenikaya wa Yerusalemu na wakulu wawu wammana ndiri weri mlopoziya, wala wavimana ndiri visoweru vya wambuyi wa Mlungu vyawabetula kila lishaka lya kwoyera. Ata hangu, wavitenditi visoweru vya wambuyi vitimii kwa kumtoza Yesu kuhowa.
for the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and their rulers, not knowing him, nor the sayings of the prophets, which are read every Sabbath day; have fulfilled them in condemning him.
28 Toziya wampatandiri na likosa lifiruwa wamlagi, wamluwiti Pilatu kamtozi wamlagi.
And though they could find no cause of death in him; yet they requested Pilate that he might be executed.
29 Pawatenditi kala goseri gawalembiriti kuusu yomberi, wamsusiyiti kulawa mlupingika, wamtula mlipumba.
And when they had accomplished all things that were written concerning him; taking him down from the cross, they laid him in a tomb.
30 Kumbiti Mlungu kamzyukisiyiti kulawa kwahowiti.
But God raised him up from the dead:
31 Na kwa mashaka gavuwa kawalawiriti walii wawagenditi pamwera nayomberi kulawa Galilaya mpaka Yerusalemu. Awa ndo walii vinu makapitawu wakuwi kwa wantu wa Izraeli.
and he appeared for several days to those that came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.
32 Na vinu Barinaba na neni twa panu kuwajegera mwenga Visoweru Viwagira. Lagilu la Mlungu kwa wambuyi wa twenga liwera nakaka mushipindi shetu,
And we bring you good tidings, that the very promise which was made to the fathers,
33 kashitimiza vinu kwajili yatwenga wazukulu wawu kwa kumzyukisiya Yesu kulawa kwawahowiti. Handa ntambu yawalembiti muzaburi ya pili, ‘Gwenga gwa mwana gwangu, Neni lelu nwera tati gwaku.’
God has accomplished to us, their children, in raising up Jesus: as it is also written in the second Psalm, "Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee."
34 Na kwa kumzyukisiya kulawa kwawahowiti, hakenipati kayi kuwuya aku na kuwola, Mlungu katakuliti hangu, ‘Hanukutekeleri tekeleru nanagala na yanakaka Yanumwaiditi Dawudi.’
And because he has raised him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus, "I will give you the sure mercies of David."
35 Yina, na Muzaburi zimonga kalonga, ‘Hapeni numuleki Mnanagala gwaku kawoli.’
Wherefore, also, in another place he says, "Thou wilt not permit thy Holy One to see corruption."
36 “Dawudi mweni katimiziti mafiliru ga Mlungu shipindi shakuwi, na shakapanu kahowa na kusilwa pakwegera na wazewi wakuwi, na nshimba yakuwi iwola.
Now David, having served his own generation according to the will of God; fell asleep, and was gathered to his fathers, and saw corruption.
37 Kumbiti ulii ndo Mlungu kamzyukisiyiti kulawa kwawahowiti hakenipati kuwola.
But he whom God raised up, did not see corruption.
38 Su muvimani walongu wangu, kuwera kupitira Yesu Ujumbi wa kulekiziya vidoda ubweritwi kwa mwenga,
Be it known, therefore, to you, brethren, that by Him remission of sins is proclaimed to you:
39 na kila yumu yakamjimira Yesu wamlekeziya vidoda vyoseri, shitwatira sheni hapeni shiwezikani kwa njira ya malagaliru ga Musa.
and by Him, every one that believes is justified from all things; from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40 Mlilolireni su, namwiza kupatwa na galii yagatakulitwi na wambuyi,
See to it, therefore, that what is spoken in the prophets may not come upon you:
41 ‘Mloreni, mwenga mwanazarawu, Mlikangashi muhowi! Ndo shintu sheni hapeni mjimiri, Ata handa muntu pakawagambirani hapeni mjimiri.’”
"Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I perform a work in your days; a work which you will not believe, though one should distinctly declare it to you."
42 Paulu na Barinaba pawaweriti wankulawa mnumba ya Mlungu, wantu walii wawashemiti kayi lishaka lya kwoyera lyalifatiti, wayoweri nentu kuusu shitwatira ashi.
Now, when going out, they requested that these words might be spoken to them, on the following Sabbath.
43 Kuliwona aku pakumalilikiti, Wayawudi wavuwa na wantu Wayawudi ndiri waweriti wingira dini ya Shiyawudi wawagendiriti Paulu na Barinaba. Wantumini awa wayoweriti nawa, wawatula moyu wendereyi kulikala walitumbiri manemu ga Mlungu.
And when the synagogue was broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, persuaded them to persevere in the favor of God.
44 Lishaka lya kwoyera paliweriti pakwegera, kila muntu mulushi lulii kiziti kupikinira shisoweru sha Mtuwa.
And, on the following Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together, to hear the word of God.
45 Shipindi Wayawudi pawaliwoniti lipinga wantu wamemiti weya, walema shakaweriti katakula Paulu na kumwigilanga.
But the Jews, seeing the multitudes, were filled with zeal; and opposed the things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and reviling.
46 Kumbiti, Paulu na Barinaba wayoweriti kwa ugangamala nentu, watakula, “iweriti ndo mpaka shisoweru sha Mlungu shiwayiziri mwenga huti, kumbiti mushirema na kuwona mfiruwa ndiri ukomu wa mashaka goseri, su, tuwalekani na kuwagendera wantu wawawera Wayawudi ndiri. (aiōnios g166)
Then Paul and Barnabas, with great freedom of speech, said, It was necessary, that the word of God should first be spoken to you; but since you thrust it away from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life; behold, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
47 Toziya mtuwa katulagalira hangu, ‘Nukutula gwenga guweri gulangala kwa wantu wawawera Wayawudi ndiri Su guwajegeri wantu ulopoziwu pasipanu paseri.’”
For so the Lord has charged us, saying, "I have set you for a light of the Gentiles, that you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth."
48 Wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi pawapikaniriti vitwatira avi wanemeleriti, waukwisa ujumbi wa Mtuwa, na walii yawasyagulitwi kupata ukomu wa mashaka goseri, wawera wantu yawamjimira Yesu. (aiōnios g166)
And the Gentiles hearing this, rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were disposed for eternal life, believed. (aiōnios g166)
49 Shisoweru sha mtuwa shyeneya pahala poseri mumkowa gulii.
And the word of the Lord was published throughout all that region.
50 Kumbiti Wayawudi wawasongizira wadala wa shiwangu shikulu yawawera Wayawudi ndiri weni waweriti wamguwira Mlungu, na wapalu wamanikana wa lushi alu. Wayanja kuwabeza Paulu na Barinaba, wawawinga kulawa pahala pawu.
But the Jews stirred up some devout women of considerable rank, and the magistrates of the city; and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their territories.
51 Su, wafundwa wapunda lidiku liweriti mumagulu gawu kuwera likalipiru, shakapanu wagenda ikoniu.
And they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
52 Wafundwa Muantiokiya waweriti wamema nemeleru na rohu munanagala.
But the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Spirit.
