Matendu 15
1 Su, wantu wamu wasokiti Antiokiya kulawa Yudeya wanjiti kuwafunda walongu walii pawatakula, “Handa pamwingiziwa ndiri jandu kulawirana na Malagaliru Mlungu gakamupananiti Musa, hapeni mlopoziwi.”
And certain having come down from Judea, were teaching the brothers, “If you are not circumcised after the custom of Moses, you are not able to be saved”;
2 Shitwatira ashi shijegiti ukakatala mkulu, pa Paulu na Barinaba kulitakuziyana nawomberi, su womberi waamuwiti kuwera Paulu na Barinaba pamuhera na walongu wamu mushipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu aku Antiokiya, wagendi Yerusalemu kuwawona wantumintumi na wazewi kuusu shitwatira ashi.
there having been, therefore, not a little dissension and debate to Paul and Barnabas with them, they arranged for Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, to go up to the apostles and elders to Jerusalem about this question;
3 Shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu shilongiti kwahere, nawomberi pawaweriti wankupitira Foiniki na Samariya wawagambiriti wantu yawawera Wayawudi ndiri ntambu yawamgalambukiriti Mlungu. Shisoweru ashi shiwaherepeziya nentu walongu woseri awa.
they indeed, then, having been sent forward by the assembly, were passing through Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the nations, and they were causing great joy to all the brothers.
4 Pawasokiti Yerusalemu wawankwa na shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu pamuhera na wantumintumi na wazewi yawatakuliti kila shintu Mlungu shakatenditi pamuhera nawomberi.
And having come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly, and the apostles, and the elders; they also declared as many things as God did with them;
5 Kumbiti wajimira wamonga wawaweriti wa shipinga sha mafalisayu wagolokiti, pawatakula, “Ndo mpaka wantu wa maisi gamonga wayigiziwi jandu na kufundwa kugafata malagaliru ga Musa.”
and there rose up certain of those of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying, “It is required to circumcise them, to command them also to keep the Law of Moses.”
6 Su wantumintumi na wazewi waliwoniti pamuhera kushilola weri shitwatira ashi.
And there were gathered together the apostles and the elders, to see about this matter,
7 Pawalitakuziyiti kwa shipindi shitali, Peteru kagolokiti kalonga, “Mwalongu wangu, mwenga muvimana handa tangu kwanja Mlungu kafiriti kuzyagula neni muwamu mwamwenga nuwabweleri Shisoweru Shiwagira, wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi wapati kupikinira na kujimira.
and there having been much disputing, Peter having risen up said to them, “Men, brothers, you know that from former days God made choice among us, through my mouth, for the nations to hear the word of the good news, and to believe;
8 Na Mlungu yakavimana moyu gwa wantu, kalanguziya handa kawajimira kwa kuwayupa nawomberi Rohu Mnanagala handa yakatuyupiti twenga.
and the heart-knowing God bore them testimony, having given to them the Holy Spirit, even as also to us,
9 Katubaguliti ndiri pakati petu na womberi, kayipungiti myoyu kwa njimiru.
and also put no difference between us and them, having purified their hearts by faith;
10 Vinu su, kwa shishi kumjera Mlungu kwa kuwapapiziya wafundwa awa visanka vyeni pota wambuyi wetu, pota twenga tuweza ndiri kulitwika?
now, therefore, why do you tempt God, to put a yoke on the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11 Ndala! Tujimiriti na tulopoziwitwi kwa njira ya manemu ga Mtuwa Yesu.” Twengapa handa womberi.
But through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, even as also they.”
12 Shikundi shoseri shitamiti jii pawampikinira Barinaba na Paulu wankutakulira mauzauza na makangashu geni Mlungu kagatenditi pakati pawu wantu wawawera ndiri Wayawudi.
And all the multitude kept silence and were listening to Barnabas and Paul expounding as many signs and wonders as God did among the nations through them;
13 Pawamaliriti kuyowera, Yakobu kanjiti kulonga, “Mwalongu wangu, mumpikaniri!
and after they were silent, James answered, saying, “Men, brothers, listen to me:
14 Simoni katakuliriti Mlungu kwanjira kwanja ntambu yakalitendiriti na wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi, kasyagula wamonga wawu waweri wantu wakuwi.
Simeon expounded how at first God looked on [us] to take a people out of [the] nations for His Name,
15 Visoweru vya Wambuyi wa Mlungu vyateratera nakamu handa Malembu Mananagala ntambu yagalonga,
and to this the words of the Prophets agree, as it has been written:
16 Mtuwa katakula, ‘Pa aga hambuyi Na kuuwuziya Ufalumi wa Dawudi Hanyawi pahala pakuwi Na kupagangamaziya kayi.
After these things I will return, And I will rebuild the dwelling place of David that has fallen down, And I will rebuild its ruins, And will set it upright—
17 Na wantu woseri, wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi nuwashemiti waweri waneni hawizi kwaneni.
That the remnant of men may seek after the LORD, And all the nations on whom My Name has been called, Says the LORD, who is doing all these things.
Known from the ages to God are all His works. (aiōn g165)
19 “Hangu neni amuwa ntambu ayi, aga nuwalagalirani kotukuyumbisiya wantu wawawera ndiri Wayawudi wawamgalambukira Mlungu.
For this reason I judge: not to trouble those who turn back to God from the nations,
20 Su tuwajegerani luhamba kuwagambira nawaliya viboga vyawayingiziyiti mnumba kwa kutambikira vinyagu vya wamlungu, walituli gweka na uhumba, nawaliya shigongolu yoseri yawammindula sungu, nawalanda mwazi.
but to write to them to abstain from the defilements of the idols, and the whoredom, and the strangled thing, and the blood;
21 Malagaliru ga Musa gaweriti gabetulwa shipindi shitali munumba ya Mlungu kila lishaka lya kwoyera, na visoweru vyakuwi wavibwera mukila lushi.”
for Moses has those preaching him from former generations in every city—being read every Sabbath in the synagogues.”
22 Shakapanu wantumintumi na Wazewi, pamuhera na shipinga shoseri sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu, waamuwiti kuwasyagula wantu wamu pakati pawu na kuwatuma wagendi Antiokiya pamuhera na Paulu na Barisaba. Wawasyaguliti Yuda yawamshemiti viraa Barinaba na yumonga yakashemitwi Sila, wantu wawili yawaweriti walongoziya pakati pa walongu.
Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas chosen men out of themselves—Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brothers—
23 Wawapananiti luhamba alu, “Twenga wantumintumi na wazewi, walongu wenu, twankuwalamsiya mwenga wantu wa maisi gamonga wa aku Antiokiya na Siriya na Kilikiya.
having written through their hand thus: “The apostles, and the elders, and the brothers, to those in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia, brothers, who [are] of the nations, greeting;
24 Tupikanira kuwera wantu wamonga kulawa aku wawagaziya kwa visoweru vyawu, wayitula myoyu ya mwenga mulyoga. Kumbiti watenda hangu pota ya luusa yoseri kulawa kwatwenga.
seeing we have heard that some having gone forth from us troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying to be circumcised and to keep the Law, to whom we gave no charge,
25 Hangu, tuamuwa kuliwona pamwera kuwasyagula wantu wamu na kuwatuma kwamwenga pamwera na waganja wetu Barinaba na Paulu,
it seemed good to us, having come together with one accord, to send to you chosen men, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul—
26 weni wafiriti wagamizii ukomu wawu kwa ntambu ya lihengu lya Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu.
men who have given up their lives for the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ—
27 Shakapanu tuwatuma Yuda na Sila kwamwenga, awa hawawagambirani weni aga gatugalembiti,
we have sent, therefore, Judas and Silas, and they are telling the same things by word.
28 Rohu munanagala na twenga tujimira kotukuwatwika visanka nentu ya vitwatira avi vya mana.
For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no more burden on you, except these necessary things:
29 Namliya viboga vyawatambikiriti shinyagu, namlanda mwazi, namliya vinofu vya shigongolu yawamuminduliti na mlikali weri na uhumba. Muwera mtenda viheri handa pamshapira kutenda vitwatira avi. Mwakashina.”
to abstain from things offered to idols, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom; keeping yourselves from which, you will do well; be strong!”
30 Wajumbi awa wawatumiti wasoka Antiokiya kweni wawashemiti wawumini waliwoni, wawayupa luhamba alu.
They then, indeed, having been let go, went to Antioch, and having brought the multitude together, delivered the letter,
31 Pawasomiti Luhamba alu, visoweru vyakuwi viwayupiti moyu, wanemeleriti nentu.
and having read [it] they rejoiced for the consolation;
32 Yuda na Sila weni nawomberi waweriti wambuyi, wayoweriti na walongu awa kwa shipindi shitali wankuwayupa moyu na kuwagagamaziya.
Judas also and Silas, also being prophets themselves, through much discourse exhorted the brothers, and confirmed,
33 Pawatamiti aku kwa shipindi tunga, walongu wa Antiokiya walonga kwaheri na kuwafilira ponga, shakapanu wawuya kwa wawatumiti walii. Malembu gamu gana shipandi ashi
and having passed some time, they were let go with peace from the brothers to the apostles;
34 kumbiti Sila kaamuwiti kusigala.
[[and it seemed good to Silas to remain there still.]]
35 Paulu na Barinaba wasigala Antiokiya kwa katepu, pawafunda na kubwera visoweru vya Mtuwa, pamwera na wantu wamonga watangala.
And Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming good news—with many others also—the word of the LORD;
36 Pa mashaka gamu, Paulu kamgambiriti Barinaba, “Tuwuyi tukawatyangiri walongu walii mukila lushi patubweriti visoweru vya Mtuwa, tukaloli ntambu yawendereyiti.”
and after certain days, Paul said to Barnabas, “Having turned back again, we may look after our brothers, in every city in which we have preached the word of the LORD—how they are.”
37 Barinaba kafiriti wamtoli viraa Yohani yawamshema Mariku.
And Barnabas resolved to take with [them] John called Mark,
38 Kumbiti Paulu kafiriti ndiri kumtola mariku, mweni pamberi kawalekiti Pamfiliya kulii na kulema kuwera pamwera mulihengu lyawu.
and Paul was not thinking it good to take him with them who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and did not go with them to the work;
39 Su, kulawira likakatala likulu pakati pawu, na walekana Barinaba kamtola Mariku, wakwena meli kugenda kupiru.
there came, therefore, a sharp contention, so that they were parted from one another, and Barnabas having taken Mark, sailed to Cyprus,
40 Nayomberi Paulu kamsyagula Sila, na pa walongu wa pahala panu kumtula pasi pa ulolera wa maheri ga Mtuwa.
and Paul having chosen Silas, went forth, having been given up to the grace of God by the brothers;
41 Mumwanja agu kapitiriti Siriya na Kilikiya, pakavigangamaziya vipinga vya wantu yawamjimira Kristu,
and he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the assemblies.
