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 the brothers that were in Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God;
2 U Petro pawawela hu Yerusalemu abhamwabho bhahanda husale,
so, when Peter came up to Jerusalem, the circumcision party disputed with him,
3 “Bhaga usangine na pagani nantele uliye nabho!”
saying, "You went into the houses of the uncircumcised and ate with them!"
4 Lelo uPetro wayanga zyazyamwajile,
Then Peter began and explained the whole matter to them in order, saying.
5 “Nahali hula hu Yafa, nahali apuute nahalola embonesyo naahalola ahantu hamwiha afume humwanya hali neshi umwenda hahwiha huline.
"I was in the city of Joppa, praying, and while in a trance I saw a vision; a certain vessel descending, what seemed to be an enormous sail let down to me,
6 Nahenyizye haala ahantu, nahalola evintu muhati vyavisugwa evyamwigona evyamumenze, ne hwavula pansi.
and while I gazed at it, I examined it carefully, and saw the quadrupeds of the earth and the wild beasts and creeping things and the wild birds.
7 Numvwa izu liyinga evyo vyalye sinza ulye!”
I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat.’
8 Ane naga sembwahile alye evintu evibhibhi nantele vichafu”
"‘Not so, my Lord’ said I, ‘for nothing common or unclean has ever gone into my mouth.’
9 Lila izu evintu vyavyozizye Ungulubhi uganje avyeete aje vibhibhi awe vichafu,
"But for the second time a voice spoke from the sky, ‘What God has cleansed, you must not call common.’
10 Zyabhombeha esho hatatu hala ahantu hazubha nantele humwanya.
"This was said three times, and then everything was drawn up again into the sky.
11 Abhantu bhatatu bhahimiliye mundyango bhabhafumile hu Kaisaria ahwinze huline.
"And lo! at that very moment, three men who had been sent for me from Caesarea stood before the house in which I was.
12 Umpepo wambuula waga longozanya nabho leha ahwogope ebha alume tanda tabhalile tenti takhiye mwa muntu umo.
"And the Spirit bade me accompany them without misgiving. There also accompanied me these six brothers, and we went into the man’s house.
13 Atibhuulile huje umalaika ajile tume umuntu abhale hukwizye uPetro hu Yafa.
"Then he told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying. "‘Send to Joppa and fetch Simon who is also called Peter.
14 Abhayanje enongwa zya Ngulubhi nawe ubhahwokoshe nabhantu bhonti bha munyumba yaho.”
"‘He will speak words to you by which you and all your family will be saved.’
15 Panahandile ayanje nabho, Umpepo Ufinjile wabhinjila nesha atinjiye ate.
"And," said Peter, "as soon as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as he fell upon us at the beginning.
16 Nahizushe zyayanjile uYesu huje uYohana ahozyaga abhantu na minzi lelo amwe mubhahwoziwe nu Mpepo Ufinjile.”
"Then I remembered the words of the Lord, how he used to say, "John indeed baptized in water, but you shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit.’
17 Eshi Ungulubhi nkashele abhapiye Umpepo Ufinjile abhantu abhanje neshi atipiye ate, ane nenanu embakhane?
"So if God gave them the same gift as he gave to us, when we first believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could withstand God?"
18 Nabhumvwa sebhayanga nkazimo, bhaluumba Ungulubhi bhaga Ungulubhi unu abhapiye abhantu umwoyo ugwalambe bhabhali bhapagani”
On hearing this they held their peace and glorified God, saying, "Forsooth then, to the Gentiles also God has granted repentance unto 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.
Then those who had been scattered by the trouble that arose over Stephen, traveled as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch; but they preached the word to none except Jews.
20 Lelo abhanji bhafumile hu Kipro na hu Kirene, bhabhalumbiliye ayunani izu lya Yesu.
Some of them, however, were Cyprians and Cyrenaeans, who, on reaching Antioch, began to tell the Greeks also the Good News concerning the Lord Jesus.
21 Ukhono gwa Ngulubhi gwali na bhene, abhantu bhabhinji bhapendushe bhagalushila uYesu.
The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number who believed turned to the Lord.
22 Enongwa zyabho zyafiha mumakutu ga Kilisti bhabhali hu Yerusalemu: bhatuma uBarnaba abhale hu Antiokia.
When news of this reached the ears of the church at Jerusalem, they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch.
23 U Barnaba nawafiha asungwilwe tee abhagwizizye umwoyo aje bhadulaje mwa Yesu mumoyo gabho.
When he arrived, and saw the grace of God, he was glad, and he encouraged them all to remain faithful to the Lord, with full purpose 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 faith and the Holy Spirit. And a great multitude was added to the Lord.
25 Pamande u Barnaba ahasogola ahabhala hu Tarso humwenye u Sauli.
Then Barnabas visited Tarsus, to try to find Saul,
26 Nawa mwaga bhabhala bhonti hu Antiokia, bhakhala umwaha gumo bhahamanyizya abhantu bhabhinji na abhanafunzi bhahitwa bha Kilisti ulwahwande hula hu Antiokia.
and when he had found him he brought him to Antioch, where for a whole year they were guests of the church, and taught many people. And it was in Antioch that the disciples first received the name of "Christians."
27 Ensiku ezyo bhahishile akuwe afume hu Yerusalemu paka hu Antiokia.
At that time some prophets came down 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.
One of them, who was Agabus, rose up, and being instructed by the Spirit, predicted that a great famine was about to come upon the whole inhabited earth. (It came in the reign of Claudius.)
29 Abhanafunzi bhahasanguzanya shila muntu hapiite bhabhatwalila abhamwabho bhabhali hu Uyahudi.
So the disciples decided to send relief, every man according to his means, to the brothers in Judea.
30 Ihela izyo; bhabhapelile a Barnaba nu Paulo huje bhatwale.
This they did, forwarding their contributions to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
