Incito 13
1 Mu mubungano waku Antiyokeya mwalikuba bashinshimi ne beshikwiyisha aba; Banabasi ne Shimoni walikukwiweti muntu mushipa, ne Lusiya waku Kulene, ne Manaeni uyo walalelwa pamo ne Mwami Helode, kayi ne Saulo.
Now there were certain prophets and teachers in the church that was at Antioch; Barnabas, and Simeon, who is called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, who was brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2 Busuba nabumbi mpobalabungana kwambeti bamutembaule Lesa, ne kwambeti balikanishe kulya cakulya, Mushimu Uswepa walabambileti, “Kamumbikilani palubasu Banabasi ne Saulo, kwambeti benga basebense ncito njendalabakuwila.”
And while they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said: Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul, to the work to which I have called them.
3 Lino panyuma pakulikanisha kulya ne kupaila ne kubika makasa palyendibo, balabatuma.
Then, after they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
4 Banabasi ne Saulo, balatumwa ne Mushimu Uswepa, balaya ku Selukeya. Kufuma uko balatanta bwato ne kuya kushika pansumbu ya Saipulasi.
Therefore, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and thence sailed to Cyprus.
5 Mpobalashika mu munshi wa Salamu, balakambauka maswi a Lesa mu manda akupaililamo a Bayuda. Balikuba ne Yohane uyo walikubanyamfwilisha.
And while they were in Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogue of the Jews; and they had John as their attendant.
6 Balendana pansumbu ponse, mpaka balashika ku munshi wa Pafosi. Uko nkobalacana mung'anga, lina lyakendi, Bala-yesu Muyuda, mushinshimi mubepeshi.
And having gone through the island as far as Paphos, they found a certain magician, a Jewish false prophet, whose name was Bar-jesus;
7 Uyu muntu walikuba munendi Mwendeleshi Selegiyo Paulo, muntu wacenjela. Uyu Selegiyo Paulo, walakuwa Banabasi ne Saulo, pakwinga walikuyandishisha kunyumfwa maswi a Lesa.
and he was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, who was a man of intelligence. This man called for Barnabas and Saul, and expressed an earnest wish to hear the word of God.
8 Elimasi mung'anga usa, Elimasi nilina nalimbi lya Bala-Yesu mu Cigiliki. Walatotekana nabo, kwelekesha kushinkilisha mwendeleshi kwambeti katashoma muli Yesu.
But the magician Elymas (for this is his name, when translated) withstood them, desiring to turn away the proconsul from the faith.
9 Nomba Saulo, uyo walikukwiweti Paulo, walesulilwa ne Mushimu Uswepa, walamulangishisha
Then Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, and looking earnestly upon him,
10 walamwambileti, “Obe mwanendi Muyungaushi, mulwani wabululami, obe weshikulicenjelesha ne bwipishi, nukaleke lilyoni kufulunganya makani akubinga a Mwami Lesa?
said: O full of all deceit and all wickedness, child of the devil, enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
11 Pacindi copele cino Mwami Lesa nakomboloshe ne kukupa mulandu, nushipilwe nteti ulibonepo lisuba kwakacindi kang'ana.” Popelapo mushinshe wa shikunku walamufweka mumenso. Elimasi walashipilwa walatatika kulipuntapunta, kulangaula muntu welela kumutanguninako kaliwamwikata kucikasa.
And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness, and he went about and sought some to lead him by the hand.
12 Mwendeleshi usa mpwalabona calenshika, walashoma. Walakankamana pakunyumfwa mbyobalikwiyisha bya Mwami Yesu.
Then the proconsul, seeing what was done, believed, being amazed at the teaching of the Lord.
13 Paulo ne banendi balatanta bwato ku Pafosi kuya ku Pega, mucibela ca Pamfiliya. Nomba Yohane walabashiya walabwela combenyuma ku Yelusalemu.
And Paul and his companions put to sea from Paphos, and went to Perga in Pamphylia. But John withdrew from them, and returned to Jerusalem.
14 Mpobalafuma ku Pega, balapitilila mpaka balashika ku Antiyokeya mucibela ca Pisidiya. Pa busuba bwa Sabata balengila mu ng'anda mobalikupailila Bayuda, balekala panshi.
But having passed through from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia; and on the sabbath-day they went into the synagogue, and sat down.
15 Bamakulene bang'anda yakupaililamo mpobalabelenga maswi mulibuku lya Milawo ya Mose, ne mulibuku lyabashinshimi bakulukulu, balabatumina maswi akwambeti, “Mobanse, na mukutepo maswi akuyuminishako bantu balikuno, tulamusengenga ngamwambapo.”
After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying: Brethren, if you have a word of exhortation for the people, speak.
16 Popelapo Paulo walanyamuka ne kubamweneka bantu ne makasa ne kwambeti. “Amwe Baislayeli baname, ne njamwe mwense mukute kutembaula Lesa, kamunyumfwani!
Then Paul arose, and waving his hand, said: Men of Israel, and you who fear God, give audience.
17 Lesa wamushobo wetu afwe Baislayeli, walasala bamashali betu bakulukulu, walabafulisha kabacili bensu mucishi ca Injipito. Walabapulisha mucishico ne cikasa cakendi cangofu.
The God of this people chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they sojourned in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm he brought them out from it.
18 Walabalama cena byaka makumi ana mucinyika, nikukabeti balikwalilwa kumunyumfwila.
And for about forty years, he cherished them in the wilderness.
19 Lesa walashina mishobo isanu ne ibili ya bantu balikwikala mucishi ca Kenani, walabalamuna cishico ne kupa Baislayeli kuba cishi cabo.”
And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land among them by lot.
20 “Ibi byonse byalamanta byaka pepi myanda ina ne makumi asanu. Kufumapo walabapa bomboloshi kushika kucindi ca Samiyele.
And after that he gave them judges, for about four hundred and fifty years, till Samuel the prophet.
21 Bantu balasenga kwambeti Lesa abape Mwami, neco Lesa walabapa Saulo, mwanendi Kisi, wamucikombo ca Benjameni, uyo walabendelesha byaka makumi ana.
And afterward they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
22 Kufumapo Lesa walamufulapo Saulo, ne kubikapo Dafeti kuba Mwami wabo. Pali Dafeti Lesa walambeti, ‘Ndacana Dafeti, mwanendi Jese, emuntu ngonsuni, kayi nakense bintu byonse mbyondayandanga.’
And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; to whom he gave this testimony: I have found David the son of Jesse a man after my own heart, who will do all my will.
23 Kufuma mubashikululwa bamucikombo ca Dafeti, Lesa walasalamo Yesu kuba Mupulushi wa Baislayeli, mbuli ncalalaya.
From the posterity of this man, God, according to his promise, raised up for Israel a Savior, Jesus;
24 Yesu katanatatika ncito, Yohane walikukambaukila Baislayeli bonse, kwambeti basanduke kushiya bwipishi bwabo ne kubatishiwa.
John having first preached, before his coming, the immersion of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25 Cindi Yohane ncalikuba pepi kupwisha ncito yakendi, walabepusha bantu, ‘Inga amwe mulayeyengeti ame njame bani? Ame ntame uyo ngomulapembelelenga sobwe. Nsombi palesanga naumbi panyuma pakame, ngondelela kubula kufulula nkwabilo shakendi.”
And as John was finishing his course, he said: Who do you suppose that I am? I am not he; but behold, there is coming after me one, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.
26 “Mobanse, mobashikululwa ba Abulahamu, ne njamwe mwense mukute kukambilila Lesa, ni kuli njafwe Lesa nkwalatumini mulumbe uwu walupulusho.
Brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
27 Bantu bekala mu Yelusalemu ne batangunishi baliya kumwinshiba Yesu, kayi baliya kwanyumfwishisha maswi abashinshimi bakulukulu awo ngobalikubelenga pabusuba bwa Sabata bulibonse. kakuli balakwanilisha calambwa ne bashinshimi bakulukulu, pakumombolosha Yesu kwambeti ashiniwe.”
For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know him, nor the words of the prophets, which are read every sabbath-day, have fulfilled them in condemning him.
28 Nikukabeti baliya kucana mulandu welela lufu, balamusenga Pilato kwambeti Yesuyo ashiniwe.
And though they found no cause of death, yet they demanded of Pilate that he should be slain.
29 Mpobalapwisha kwinsa byonse, mbuli ncebyalembwa mu Mabala a Lesa bilambanga sha Yesu, abo balikukonkela kwiyisha kwakendi, balamuselushapo palusanda, ne kuya kumubika mumanda.
And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulcher.
30 Nomba Lesa walamupundusha kubafu,
But God raised him from the dead.
31 walabonekela kwa masuba angi ku bantu basa balikumushindikila kufuma ku Galileya kuya ku Yelusalemu katanafwa. Bantu aba ebakamboni bakendi kubantu bamu Islayeli.
And he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.
32 Neco afwe tulesa kukambauka Mulumbe Waina wa bishomesho Lesa mbyalalaya bamashali betu bakulukulu.
And we preach to you good news concerning the promise made to our fathers,
33 Ibyo mbyalalaya latwinshili afwe, tobashukululwa babo, pakumupundusha Yesu kubafu. Mbuli ncecalembwa Mukutembaula kwacibili kwambeti, Obe omwaname, lelo ndaba baiso.
that God has fulfilled the same to us, their children, by raising up Jesus, as it is written in the second Psalm: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
34 Lesa walamupundusha Yesu kubafu kwambeti katabola sobwe. Calenshika mbuli ncalambeti, Ninkakupe colwe caswepa, kayi cancinencine, ico ncendalamulaya Dafeti.
But that he raised him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: I will give you the sure mercies of David.
35 Ecebo cakendi Mukutembaula nakumbi kayi walambeti, Nteti mukalekelele Musebenshi wenu Washomeka kwambeti akabole.
For which reason he says also in another Psalm: Thou wilt not suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.
36 Awa maswi nkalambanga sha Dafeti, pakwinga Dafeti mubuyumi bwakendi mpwalakwanilisha kusebensa ncito njalamubambila Lesa, walafwa ne kubikwa mu manda uko nkobalabikwa bamashali bakulukulu, mubili wakendi walabola.
For David, after serving the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep, and was laid with his fathers, and saw corruption.
37 Nomba usa ngwalapundusha Lesa kubafu, mubili wakendi uliya kubolapo sobwe.
But he whom God raised up did not see corruption.
38 Neco mobanse bame, kamwinshibani kwambeti, kupitila muli Yesu, Lesa lamulekelelenga bwipishi bwenu, ici encotulakambaukunga kulinjamwe.
Be it known to you, therefore, brethren, that through this man is preached to you the remission of sins:
39 Uliyense washoma Yesu walulamikwa pamenso a Lesa, uko nkomwelela kubula kukucana pakukonka Milawo ya Mose.
and by him, every one that believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40 Amwe cenjelani, kwambeti byalambwa ne bashinshimi bakulukulu bikabule kwinshika kuli njamwe, Ibyo mbyebalambeti,
Take heed, therefore, lest that which is spoken in the prophets come upon you:
41 “Kamunyumfwani amwe beshikucobola! Mukankamane ne kufwililila! Pakwinga mucindi cabuyumi bwenu ame ninkensepo cintu nceti mukabule kushoma sobwe, nambi muntu naumbi umusansulwila.”
Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish. For I work a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, though one fully declare it to you.
42 Paulo ne Banabasi mpobalikupula mung'anda yakupaililamo Bayuda, basa bantu balabasenga kwambeti bakese kayi pa Sabata, kwisa kupitilisha kukambauka pabintu ibi.
And as they were departing from the synagogue, they were requested to speak these things to them on the next sabbath.
43 Nomba bantu mpobalamwaika, Bayuda bangi pamo ne bantu nabambi balikukambilila Lesa balikukonkela ciyisho ca Bayuda, balakonkela Paulo ne Banabasi. Bantu aba babili balambila likoto lya bantu, ne kubayuminisha kwambeti bapitilishe kushoma munkumbo sha Lesa.
Now, after the congregation was dismissed, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them, and persuaded them to continue faithful to the grace of God.
44 Mpobwalashika busuba bwa Sabata, bantu bonse ba mumunshi uwo balabungana kwambeti banyumfwe maswi a Mwami.
And on the next sabbath-day, almost the whole city met together to hear the word of God.
45 Nomba Bayuda basa mpobalabona likoto lyabantu, balanyumfwa munyono. Balatatika kumutoteka Paulo mbyalikwamba, kayi balamucobola.
But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spoke against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and reviling.
46 Paulo ne Banabasi balamba kwakubula buyowa, balambeti, “Cakubinga calikuba celela kwambeti tukambauke maswi a Lesa kulinjamwe nanshi. Nomba bonani mulakana mobene, mulalileshe mobene kwambeti nkamwelela kutambula buyumi butapu, nitumushiye, nitwenga kubantu bakunsa.” (aiōnios g166)
But Paul and Barnabas, speaking boldly, said: It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first: but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo! we turn to tho Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
47 Pakwinga Mwami walatwambileti, Ndakubiki kwambeti umunikile bantu bakunsa, Kwambeti bantu balimucishi conse bakapuluke pacebo cakobe.
For thus has the Lord given us commandment: I have placed thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be for salvation to the most distant part of the earth.
48 Mpobalanyumfweco bantu bakunsa, balakondwa ne kulumba maswi a Mwami. Abo Lesa mbwalasala kwambeti bakatambule buyumi butapu, balashoma. (aiōnios g166)
When the Gentiles heard this they rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord; and as many as were determined to obtain eternal life, believed. (aiōnios g166)
49 Maswi a Mwami alamwaikila kuli konse mucimpansha ici.
And the word of the Lord was published throughout the whole of that region.
50 Nomba Bayuda basa balayungaula batukashi bayampuwo abo balikukambilila Lesa ne batangunishi ba mumunshi. Balatatika kupensha Paulo ne Banabasi ne kubatandanya kufuma mucimpansha cabo.
But the Jews in cited the devout and influential women, and the first men of the city, and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their borders.
51 Paulo ne Banabasi balapampamuna lusuko kumyendo kwabo, kwambeti lube bukamboni bwa kukana kwabo, kufumapo balaya ku Ikoniya.
But they shook off the dust from their feet against them, and went to Iconium.
52 Beshikwiya baku Antiyokeya balakondwa kayi balesulilwa ne Mushimu Uswepa.
And the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.
