Imbombo zya Atume 11
1 Atume na bhamwabho bhabha uhwo hu Yudea bhahumvwizye huje apagani(amataifa) bhope bhalye jeleye izu lya Ngulubhi.
Now the Apostles and brethren who were in Jerusalem, heard, that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
2 U Petro pawawela hu Yerusalemu abhamwabho bhahanda husale,
And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they who were of the circumcision contended with him,
3 “Bhaga usangine na pagani nantele uliye nabho!”
saying, You did go in to men who were uncircumcised, and did eat with them.
4 Lelo uPetro wayanga zyazyamwajile,
And Peter beginning, opened to them the matter in order, saying,
5 “Nahali hula hu Yafa, nahali apuute nahalola embonesyo naahalola ahantu hamwiha afume humwanya hali neshi umwenda hahwiha huline.
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 Nahenyizye haala ahantu, nahalola evintu muhati vyavisugwa evyamwigona evyamumenze, ne hwavula pansi.
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 Numvwa izu liyinga evyo vyalye sinza ulye!”
and I heard a voice saying to me, Arise, Peter, kill, and eat:
8 Ane naga sembwahile alye evintu evibhibhi nantele vichafu”
but I said, By no means, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.
9 Lila izu evintu vyavyozizye Ungulubhi uganje avyeete aje vibhibhi awe vichafu,
And the voice answered me the second time from heaven, Those things which God has cleansed, do not you call common.
10 Zyabhombeha esho hatatu hala ahantu hazubha nantele humwanya.
And this was done three times. And all the things were drawn up again into heaven.
11 Abhantu bhatatu bhahimiliye mundyango bhabhafumile hu Kaisaria ahwinze huline.
And behold, at that instant, three men were come to the house in which I was, sent from Cesarea to me.
12 Umpepo wambuula waga longozanya nabho leha ahwogope ebha alume tanda tabhalile tenti takhiye mwa muntu umo.
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 Atibhuulile huje umalaika ajile tume umuntu abhale hukwizye uPetro hu Yafa.
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 Abhayanje enongwa zya Ngulubhi nawe ubhahwokoshe nabhantu bhonti bha munyumba yaho.”
who shall speak words to you, by which you and all your family shall be saved.
15 Panahandile ayanje nabho, Umpepo Ufinjile wabhinjila nesha atinjiye ate.
And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, as as on us at the beginning.
16 Nahizushe zyayanjile uYesu huje uYohana ahozyaga abhantu na minzi lelo amwe mubhahwoziwe nu Mpepo Ufinjile.”
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 Eshi Ungulubhi nkashele abhapiye Umpepo Ufinjile abhantu abhanje neshi atipiye ate, ane nenanu embakhane?
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 Nabhumvwa sebhayanga nkazimo, bhaluumba Ungulubhi bhaga Ungulubhi unu abhapiye abhantu umwoyo ugwalambe bhabhali bhapagani”
And when they heard these things, they acquiesced, and glorified God; saying, God has, then, given to the Gentile also reformation to life.
19 Amalabha gagahandile pafwiye u Stefano abhaKilisti bhanyampana afume hu Yerusalemu bhafishile mpaka hu Foinike, Kipro na hu Antiokia. Ohwo hwonti bayangaga bhayahudi bhene abhanje sigabhabhabhuulaga.
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 Lelo abhanji bhafumile hu Kipro na hu Kirene, bhabhalumbiliye ayunani izu lya 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 Ukhono gwa Ngulubhi gwali na bhene, abhantu bhabhinji bhapendushe bhagalushila uYesu.
And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed, and turned to the Lord.
22 Enongwa zyabho zyafiha mumakutu ga Kilisti bhabhali hu Yerusalemu: bhatuma uBarnaba abhale hu Antiokia.
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 U Barnaba nawafiha asungwilwe tee abhagwizizye umwoyo aje bhadulaje mwa Yesu mumoyo gabho.
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 Ali muntu mwinza tee nantele ali muntu wimpyana nu Mpepo Ufinjile ali muhati yakwe nulwitishilo, abhantu bhabhinji bhonjelela hwa Yesu.
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 Pamande u Barnaba ahasogola ahabhala hu Tarso humwenye u Sauli.
Then Barnabas went to Tarsus, to seek Saul;
26 Nawa mwaga bhabhala bhonti hu Antiokia, bhakhala umwaha gumo bhahamanyizya abhantu bhabhinji na abhanafunzi bhahitwa bha Kilisti ulwahwande hula hu Antiokia.
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 Ensiku ezyo bhahishile akuwe afume hu Yerusalemu paka hu Antiokia.
And in these days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.
28 Umo ali yu Agabo uyo abhuulilwe(asenshiye) huje enzala engosi ebhalagwe ensi yonti. Enzala iyo ihagwiye na tabhalile u Klaudio.
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 Abhanafunzi bhahasanguzanya shila muntu hapiite bhabhatwalila abhamwabho bhabhali hu Uyahudi.
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 Ihela izyo; bhabhapelile a Barnaba nu Paulo huje bhatwale.
And this they did, sending it to the elders, by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
