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 who were in Judea heard that the non-Jewish people had also received the word of God.
2 U Petro pawawela hu Yerusalemu abhamwabho bhahanda husale,
When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,
3 “Bhaga usangine na pagani nantele uliye nabho!”
saying, "You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them."
4 Lelo uPetro wayanga zyazyamwajile,
But Peter began, and explained 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 in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.
6 Nahenyizye haala ahantu, nahalola evintu muhati vyavisugwa evyamwigona evyamumenze, ne hwavula pansi.
When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, crawling creatures, and birds of the sky.
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”
But I said, 'Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.'
9 Lila izu evintu vyavyozizye Ungulubhi uganje avyeete aje vibhibhi awe vichafu,
But a voice answered the second time out of heaven, 'What God has cleansed, do not call unclean.'
10 Zyabhombeha esho hatatu hala ahantu hazubha nantele humwanya.
This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
11 Abhantu bhatatu bhahimiliye mundyango bhabhafumile hu Kaisaria ahwinze huline.
And look, immediately three men stood before the house where we were, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
12 Umpepo wambuula waga longozanya nabho leha ahwogope ebha alume tanda tabhalile tenti takhiye mwa muntu umo.
The Spirit told me to go with them, without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house.
13 Atibhuulile huje umalaika ajile tume umuntu abhale hukwizye uPetro hu Yafa.
He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying to him, 'Send to Joppa, and get Simon, whose surname is Peter,
14 Abhayanje enongwa zya Ngulubhi nawe ubhahwokoshe nabhantu bhonti bha munyumba yaho.”
who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.'
15 Panahandile ayanje nabho, Umpepo Ufinjile wabhinjila nesha atinjiye ate.
As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.
16 Nahizushe zyayanjile uYesu huje uYohana ahozyaga abhantu na minzi lelo amwe mubhahwoziwe nu Mpepo Ufinjile.”
I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, 'John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.'
17 Eshi Ungulubhi nkashele abhapiye Umpepo Ufinjile abhantu abhanje neshi atipiye ate, ane nenanu embakhane?
If then God gave to them the same gift as us, when we believed in the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah, who was I, that I could withstand God?"
18 Nabhumvwa sebhayanga nkazimo, bhaluumba Ungulubhi bhaga Ungulubhi unu abhapiye abhantu umwoyo ugwalambe bhabhali bhapagani”
When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, "Then God has also granted to the non-Jews repentance 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.
They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.
20 Lelo abhanji bhafumile hu Kipro na hu Kirene, bhabhalumbiliye ayunani izu lya Yesu.
But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Greeks, proclaiming the good news of 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 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 was heard by the church in Jerusalem, so they sent Barnabas to Antioch,
23 U Barnaba nawafiha asungwilwe tee abhagwizizye umwoyo aje bhadulaje mwa Yesu mumoyo gabho.
who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain true to the Lord.
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 many people were added to the Lord.
25 Pamande u Barnaba ahasogola ahabhala hu Tarso humwenye u Sauli.
Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.
26 Nawa mwaga bhabhala bhonti hu Antiokia, bhakhala umwaha gumo bhahamanyizya abhantu bhabhinji na abhanafunzi bhahitwa bha Kilisti ulwahwande hula hu Antiokia.
When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. It happened, that for a whole year they were gathered together with the church, and taught many people. The disciples were first called "Followers of the Messiah" in Antioch.
27 Ensiku ezyo bhahishile akuwe afume hu Yerusalemu paka hu Antiokia.
Now in these days, 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 named Agabus stood up, and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.
29 Abhanafunzi bhahasanguzanya shila muntu hapiite bhabhatwalila abhamwabho bhabhali hu Uyahudi.
As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;
30 Ihela izyo; bhabhapelile a Barnaba nu Paulo huje bhatwale.
which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
