Matendu 14
1 Kulii Ikoniu, vitwatira viweriti handa vyaviweriti kulii Antiokiya, Paulu na Barinaba wagenditi munumba ya Mlungu gwa Shiyawudi wayowera kwa ugangamala ata Wayawudi wavuwa na Wagiriki wawera wajimira.
The same thing occurred in Iconium, where Paul and Barnabas went into the Jewish synagogue, and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed in Christ.
2 Kumbiti Wayawudi wamonga yawalemiti kuwera wawumini wasonguziya na kutula weya mmoyu mwa wantu yawawera wayawudi ndiri su wawakomi walongu awa.
But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the Gentiles, and poisoned their minds against the Lord’s followers.
3 Paulu na Barinaba wendereyiti kulikala aku kwa shipindi shitali. Wayoweriti kwa ugangamala wa Mtuwa, na Mtuwa kalanguziya unakaka wa ujumbi yawaulaviyiti kwa manemu gakuwi, kwa kuwatenda watendi mauzauza na makangashu.
Therefore Paul and Barnabas spent a long time there, and spoke out fearlessly, relying on the Lord, who confirmed the message of his love by permitting signs and wonders to take place at their hands.
4 Wantu wa lushi walekanikiti, wamonga wawajimiriti Wayawudi na wamonga waweriti uwega wa wantumintumi.
But the townspeople were divided, some siding with the Jews, some with the apostles;
5 Upeleru, wantu wamu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi, pamwera na wakulu wawu, wajumilirana kuwatendera vidoda ntumintumi awa na kuwagumanga mabuwi.
and, when there was an attempt on the part of both Gentiles and Jews, with their leaders, to resort to violence and to stone them,
6 Ntumintumi pawayambuliti shitwatira ashi, watugiriti Listira na Deribi, mlushi lya lukaoniya, na museemu za pakwegera,
the apostles heard of it, and took refuge in Lystra and Derbe, towns in Lycaonia, and in the district round,
7 wawera wankubwera visoweru viwangira aku.
and there they continued to tell the good news.
8 Kwaniti muntu yumu aku Listira mweni kaweriti shibyeketu gwa magulu kwanjira kwiwuka, na kaweriti hakenipati kugendagenda.
In the streets of Lystra there used to sit a man who had no power in his feet; he had been lame from his birth, and had never walked.
9 Muntu ayu kaweriti kankumpikinira Paulu pakaweriti kankubwera. Paulu kamloliti dii, na pakawoniti keniti njimiru ya kuweza kuponiziwa.
This man was listening to Paul speaking, when Paul, looking intently at him, and seeing that he had the faith to be healed,
10 Kalonga kwa liziwu likulu, “Gugoloki gugendigendi kwa magulu gaku!” Muntu ulii kagoloka, kanja kukopokakopoka na kugendagenda pahala palii.
said loudly, ‘Stand upright on your feet.’ The man leaped up, and began walking about,
11 Lipinga lya wantu pawawoniti shakatenditi Paulu, wanjiti kubotanga kwa likabira lya Likaoniya, “Milungu watwizira gambira muntu na watwizira pasi panu!”
and the crowd, seeing what Paul had done, called out in the Lycaonian language, ‘The Gods have come down to us in human form.’
12 Barinaba wamupa litawu zewu, na Paulu wamshema Herimesi, toziya yomberi ndo yakaweriti kankuyowera.
So they called Barnabas “Zeus,” and Paul “Hermes,” because he took the lead in speaking;
13 Na Mtambika gwa numba ya Zewu yayiweriti kunja kulushi kajega pongu na majenjeri ga mauwa kulongolu kumlyangu mkulu gwa lushi, yomberi pamwera na lipinga lya wantu wafiriti kuwatambikira wantumintumi.
and the priest of Zeus-beyond-the-Walls, accompanied by the crowd, brought bullocks and garlands to the gates, with the intention of offering sacrifices.
14 Barinaba na Paulu pawapatiti visoweru avi wapapuliti nguwu zawu na kutugira mulipinga lya wantu pawabota.
But, when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd. ‘Friends, why are you doing this?’ they shouted.
15 Walongu, kwa shishi mtenda vitwatira vya ntambu ayi? Twenga viraa twa wantu gambira mwenga. Na twa panu kuwabwelera Shisoweru Shiwagira, mpati kuvileka vinyagu avi, mumgalambukiri Mlungu yakawera mkomu Mlungu yakanyawiti kumpindi na pasipanu, lbahali na vyoseri vyaviweramu.
‘We are only people like yourselves, and we have come with the good news that you should turn away from these follies to a living God, who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and everything that is in them.
16 Makashu Mlungu kajimiriti kila Isi itendi ntambuyaifiriti.
In bygone times he permitted all the nations to go their own ways.
17 Kumbiti, Mlungu hakenileki kulilanguziya kwa vitwatira viheri vyakawatendera, kawatowera vula irawa kuliyera, kawayupa vimeru kwa shipindi shakuwi, kawayupa viboga na kuimemiziya myoyu yawu nemeru.
Yet he has not failed to give you, in the good he does, some revelation of himself – sending you from heaven rain and fruitful seasons, and gladdening your hearts with plenty and good cheer.’
18 Tembera watakula ntambu ayi Iweriti mbaka ndiri kuwalewelera wantu walii kotukuwatambikira.
Even with this appeal they could hardly restrain the people from offering sacrifice to them.
19 Wayawudi wamu wiziti kulawa Antiokiya na Ikoniu wawajega wantu pamwera nawomberi, wamgumi mabuwi Paulu na kumkwega mpaka kunja kulushi walongiti kahowa kala.
Presently, however, there came some Jews from Antioch, and Iconium who, after they had won over the people, stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the town, thinking him to be dead.
20 Kumbiti wafundwa pawajojinikiti na kumzyengeta kayumkiti kawuya mlushi. Shirawu yakuwi yomberi pamuhera na Barinaba wagenditi Deribi.
But, when the disciples had gathered round him, he got up and went back into the town; the next day he went with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 Pa Paulu na Barinaba kubwera visoweru viwagira aku Deribi na kuwapata wafundwa wavuwa, shakapanu wawuyiti Listira mpaka Ikoniu na Antiokiya Mupisidia.
After telling the good news throughout that town, and making a number of converts, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
22 Wawayongiliriti likakala wafundwa na kuwapanana moyu wasigali munjimiru, wawagambira, “Ndo mpaka twawoseri twenga kupitira mutabu zivuwa su twingiri Muufalumi wa Mlungu, wafunditi.”
reassuring the minds of the disciples, urging them to remain true to the faith, and showing that it is only through many troubles that we can enter the kingdom of God.
23 Wawasyaguliti wazewi mukila shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu, na kwa kuluwa na kwoya kuliya wawatula pasi pa ulolera wa Mtuwa yawamjimiriti kwa maluwa na kwoya kuliya.
They also appointed elders for them in every church, and, after prayer and fasting, commended them to the Lord in whom they had learned to believe.
24 Pawapititi kala muisi ya Pisidiya, wasokiti Pamfiliya.
Paul and Barnabas then went through Pisidia, and came into Pamphylia,
25 Aku wabweriti ujumbi Muperiga. Na shakapanu wagenditi Ataliya,
and, after telling the message at Perga, went down to Attaleia.
26 Na kulawa aku wawuyiti salama Antiokiya, kweni shipindi shipititi waweriti pasi pa ulolera wa manemu ga Mlungu kwa ajili ya lihengu lyeni vinu waweriti walimalira.
From there they sailed to Antioch – the place where they had been committed to the gracious care of God for the work which they had now finished.
27 Pawasokiti Antiokiya, waliwoniti pamuwera na shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu na kuwagambira visoweru vya vitwatira vyoseri Mlungu vyakatenditi pamuhera na womberi, na ntambu yakawavuguliriti njira ya njimiru kwa wantu yawawera Wayawudi ndiri.
After their arrival, they gathered the church together, and gave an account of all that God had helped them to do, and especially how he had opened to the Gentiles the door of faith;
28 Walikaliti pamuhera na wafundwa walii kwa shipindi shitali.
and at Antioch they stayed with the disciples for a considerable time.
