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.”
But some men came down from Judea and attempted to teach the brethren, saying, "Unless you are circumcised according to Moses’ custom, you cannot 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.
Now when dispute and controversy sprang up between them and Paul and Barnabas, the brethren appointed Paul and Barnabas, and certain others, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders 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.
So the church saw them off on their journey, and they passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria. Here they set forth the conversion of the Gentiles, and brought 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.
Upon their arrival in Jerusalem they were received by the church and the apostles and elders, and they told them all things that God had done 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.”
But certain men who had belonged to the sect of the Pharisees, but were now believers, stood up and said, "It is necessary to circumcise Gentile, and to order them to keep the Law of Moses."
6 Su wantumintumi na wazewi waliwoniti pamuhera kushilola weri shitwatira ashi.
The apostles and elders met to consider the 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 after there had been a long discussion, Peter rose and said. "Brothers, you know how a good while ago God made choice among you, that from my lips the Gentiles were to hear the message of the gospel and believe.
8 Na Mlungu yakavimana moyu gwa wantu, kalanguziya handa kawajimira kwa kuwayupa nawomberi Rohu Mnanagala handa yakatuyupiti twenga.
"And God, who knows the hearts of all, gave this testimony in their behalf, by bestowing upon them the Holy Spirit just as he did upon us;
9 Katubaguliti ndiri pakati petu na womberi, kayipungiti myoyu kwa njimiru.
"and he made no distinction between us and them, in cleansing 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 then, why are you tempting God by laying on the necks of these disciples a yoke which neither our forefathers nor we have been able to bear?
11 Ndala! Tujimiriti na tulopoziwitwi kwa njira ya manemu ga Mtuwa Yesu.” Twengapa handa womberi.
"On the contrary we believe that it is by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ that we and they shall be saved."
12 Shikundi shoseri shitamiti jii pawampikinira Barinaba na Paulu wankutakulira mauzauza na makangashu geni Mlungu kagatenditi pakati pawu wantu wawawera ndiri Wayawudi.
Then the whole assembly remained silent, and listened to Barnabas and Saul as they told the signs and wonders which God had wrought among the Gentiles through them.
13 Pawamaliriti kuyowera, Yakobu kanjiti kulonga, “Mwalongu wangu, mumpikaniri!
When they had finished speaking, James said.
14 Simoni katakuliriti Mlungu kwanjira kwanja ntambu yakalitendiriti na wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi, kasyagula wamonga wawu waweri wantu wakuwi.
"Brothers, listen to me. Symeon has told how God first looked graciously upon the Gentiles, to take out from among them a people to be called by his name.
15 Visoweru vya Wambuyi wa Mlungu vyateratera nakamu handa Malembu Mananagala ntambu yagalonga,
"And this is in harmony with the language of the prophets, which says.
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 David’s fallen tent; And I will build again its ruins, And I will set it up;
17 Na wantu woseri, wantu yawawera ndiri Wayawudi nuwashemiti waweri waneni hawizi kwaneni.
"So that the rest of men may seek after the Lord, Even all the Gentiles, who are called by my name,
"Says the Lord, who has been making this known from the beginning of the world. (aiōn g165)
19 “Hangu neni amuwa ntambu ayi, aga nuwalagalirani kotukuyumbisiya wantu wawawera ndiri Wayawudi wawamgalambukira Mlungu.
"My judgment therefore, is against troubling those who turn to God from among the Gentiles;
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 that we should write to them to abstain from the pollution of idols and from fornication, from meat killed by strangling, and from blood.
21 Malagaliru ga Musa gaweriti gabetulwa shipindi shitali munumba ya Mlungu kila lishaka lya kwoyera, na visoweru vyakuwi wavibwera mukila lushi.”
"For Moses from the earliest times has had his preachers in every town where he is read aloud, Sabbath after 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, together with the whole church, to select some of their number, and to send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. The men chosen were Judas called Bar- Sabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren.
23 Wawapananiti luhamba alu, “Twenga wantumintumi na wazewi, walongu wenu, twankuwalamsiya mwenga wantu wa maisi gamonga wa aku Antiokiya na Siriya na Kilikiya.
They took with them the following letter. "The apostles and older brothers send greeting to the Gentile Brotherhood throughout Antioch and Syria and Cilicia;
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.
"as we have heard that some of your number who went out from us have troubled you with words and upset your souls, without having received any such instruction from us;
25 Hangu, tuamuwa kuliwona pamwera kuwasyagula wantu wamu na kuwatuma kwamwenga pamwera na waganja wetu Barinaba na Paulu,
"we have unanimously decided to select certain men, and to send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul;
26 weni wafiriti wagamizii ukomu wawu kwa ntambu ya lihengu lya Mtuwa gwetu Yesu Kristu.
"men who have risked their very lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Shakapanu tuwatuma Yuda na Sila kwamwenga, awa hawawagambirani weni aga gatugalembiti,
"So we have sent Judas and Silas to tell you the same things by word of mouth.
28 Rohu munanagala na twenga tujimira kotukuwatwika visanka nentu ya vitwatira avi vya mana.
"For it has seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than 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.”
"that you abstain from food that has been sacrificed to idols, and from tasting blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication. Keep yourselves clear from these things and it will be well with you. Farewell."
30 Wajumbi awa wawatumiti wasoka Antiokiya kweni wawashemiti wawumini waliwoni, wawayupa luhamba alu.
So they, when they had been despatched, went down to Antioch, and after gathering the whole multitude together, they handed them the letter,
31 Pawasomiti Luhamba alu, visoweru vyakuwi viwayupiti moyu, wanemeleriti nentu.
and when they had read it they rejoiced at the comfort it brought.
32 Yuda na Sila weni nawomberi waweriti wambuyi, wayoweriti na walongu awa kwa shipindi shitali wankuwayupa moyu na kuwagagamaziya.
And Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, encouraged and strengthened the brothers with many a good counsel.
33 Pawatamiti aku kwa shipindi tunga, walongu wa Antiokiya walonga kwaheri na kuwafilira ponga, shakapanu wawuya kwa wawatumiti walii. Malembu gamu gana shipandi ashi
After spending some time there the brothers let them go with a greeting of peace to those who had sent them.
34 kumbiti Sila kaamuwiti kusigala.
Silas, however, stayed with them.
35 Paulu na Barinaba wasigala Antiokiya kwa katepu, pawafunda na kubwera visoweru vya Mtuwa, pamwera na wantu wamonga watangala.
Paul and Barnabas also stayed in Antioch teaching and proclaiming the word of the Lord, in company with others.
36 Pa mashaka gamu, Paulu kamgambiriti Barinaba, “Tuwuyi tukawatyangiri walongu walii mukila lushi patubweriti visoweru vya Mtuwa, tukaloli ntambu yawendereyiti.”
And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let is go back and visit the brothers in every city in which we have proclaimed the word of the Lord. Let us see how they fare."
37 Barinaba kafiriti wamtoli viraa Yohani yawamshema Mariku.
Now Barnabas wanted to take with them John, who was called Mark.
38 Kumbiti Paulu kafiriti ndiri kumtola mariku, mweni pamberi kawalekiti Pamfiliya kulii na kulema kuwera pamwera mulihengu lyawu.
But Paul thought it unwise to take with them one who had deserted them to the Pamphylia, and had not gone on with them to the work.
39 Su, kulawira likakatala likulu pakati pawu, na walekana Barinaba kamtola Mariku, wakwena meli kugenda kupiru.
So there arose a sharp irritation, so that they parted company; Barnabas taking Mark with him, sailed away to Cyprus;
40 Nayomberi Paulu kamsyagula Sila, na pa walongu wa pahala panu kumtula pasi pa ulolera wa maheri ga Mtuwa.
while Paul chose Silas, and set forth commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
41 Mumwanja agu kapitiriti Siriya na Kilikiya, pakavigangamaziya vipinga vya wantu yawamjimira Kristu,
He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
