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 in the church which was at Antioch, prophets and doctors, among whom was Barnabas, and Simon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manahen, who was the foster brother of 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 as they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Ghost said to them: Separate me Saul and Barnabas, for the work whereunto I have taken them.
3 Lino panyuma pakulikanisha kulya ne kupaila ne kubika makasa palyendibo, balabatuma.
Then they, fasting and praying, and imposing their hands upon them, sent them away.
4 Banabasi ne Saulo, balatumwa ne Mushimu Uswepa, balaya ku Selukeya. Kufuma uko balatanta bwato ne kuya kushika pansumbu ya Saipulasi.
So they being sent by the Holy Ghost, went to Seleucia: and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
5 Mpobalashika mu munshi wa Salamu, balakambauka maswi a Lesa mu manda akupaililamo a Bayuda. Balikuba ne Yohane uyo walikubanyamfwilisha.
And when they were come to Salamina, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John also in the ministry.
6 Balendana pansumbu ponse, mpaka balashika ku munshi wa Pafosi. Uko nkobalacana mung'anga, lina lyakendi, Bala-yesu Muyuda, mushinshimi mubepeshi.
And when they had gone through the whole island, as far as Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesu:
7 Uyu muntu walikuba munendi Mwendeleshi Selegiyo Paulo, muntu wacenjela. Uyu Selegiyo Paulo, walakuwa Banabasi ne Saulo, pakwinga walikuyandishisha kunyumfwa maswi a Lesa.
Who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. He sending for Barnabas and Saul, desired 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 Elymas the magician (for so his name is interpreted) withstood them, seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith.
9 Nomba Saulo, uyo walikukwiweti Paulo, walesulilwa ne Mushimu Uswepa, walamulangishisha
Then Saul, otherwise Paul, filled with the Holy Ghost, looking 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 guile, and of all deceit, child of the devil, enemy of all justice, thou ceasest not 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 thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a time. And immediately there fell a mist and darkness upon him, and going about, he sought some one to lead him by the hand.
12 Mwendeleshi usa mpwalabona calenshika, walashoma. Walakankamana pakunyumfwa mbyobalikwiyisha bya Mwami Yesu.
Then the proconsul, when he had seen what was done, believed, admiring at the doctrine of the Lord.
13 Paulo ne banendi balatanta bwato ku Pafosi kuya ku Pega, mucibela ca Pamfiliya. Nomba Yohane walabashiya walabwela combenyuma ku Yelusalemu.
Now when Paul and they that were with him had sailed from Paphos, they came to Perge in Pamphylia. And John departing from them, 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 they passing through Perge, came to Antioch in Pisidia: and entering into the synagogue on the sabbath day, they 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.”
And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying: Ye men, brethren, if you have any word of exhortation to make to 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 rising up, and with his hand bespeaking silence, said: Ye men of Israel, and you that fear God, give ear.
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 the people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they were sojourners in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought them out from thence,
18 Walabalama cena byaka makumi ana mucinyika, nikukabeti balikwalilwa kumunyumfwila.
And for the space of forty years endured their manners in the desert.
19 Lesa walashina mishobo isanu ne ibili ya bantu balikwikala mucishi ca Kenani, walabalamuna cishico ne kupa Baislayeli kuba cishi cabo.”
And destroying seven nations in the land of Chanaan, 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.
As it were, after four hundred and fifty years: and after these things, he gave unto them judges, until 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 after that they desired a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, 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 them up David to be king: to whom giving testimony, he said: I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man according to my own heart, who shall do all my wills.
23 Kufuma mubashikululwa bamucikombo ca Dafeti, Lesa walasalamo Yesu kuba Mupulushi wa Baislayeli, mbuli ncalalaya.
Of this man’s seed God according to his promise, hath raised up to Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
24 Yesu katanatatika ncito, Yohane walikukambaukila Baislayeli bonse, kwambeti basanduke kushiya bwipishi bwabo ne kubatishiwa.
John first preaching, before his coming, the baptism of penance 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 when John was fulfilling his course, he said: I am not he, whom you think me to be: but behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his 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.
Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you fear God, to you the word of this salvation is 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 they that inhabited Jerusalem, and the rulers thereof, not knowing him, nor the voices of the prophets, which are read every sabbath, judging him have fulfilled them.
28 Nikukabeti baliya kucana mulandu welela lufu, balamusenga Pilato kwambeti Yesuyo ashiniwe.
And finding no cause of death in him, they desired of Pilate, that they might kill him.
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 things that were written of him, taking him down from the tree, they laid him in a sepulchre.
30 Nomba Lesa walamupundusha kubafu,
But God raised him up from the dead the third day:
31 walabonekela kwa masuba angi ku bantu basa balikumushindikila kufuma ku Galileya kuya ku Yelusalemu katanafwa. Bantu aba ebakamboni bakendi kubantu bamu Islayeli.
Who was seen for many days, by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who to this present are his witnesses to the people.
32 Neco afwe tulesa kukambauka Mulumbe Waina wa bishomesho Lesa mbyalalaya bamashali betu bakulukulu.
And we declare unto you, that the promise which was made to our fathers,
33 Ibyo mbyalalaya latwinshili afwe, tobashukululwa babo, pakumupundusha Yesu kubafu. Mbuli ncecalembwa Mukutembaula kwacibili kwambeti, Obe omwaname, lelo ndaba baiso.
This same God hath fulfilled to our children, raising up Jesus, as in the second psalm also is written: 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.
And to shew that he raised him up from the dead, not to return now any more to corruption, he said thus: I will give you the holy things of David faithful.
35 Ecebo cakendi Mukutembaula nakumbi kayi walambeti, Nteti mukalekelele Musebenshi wenu Washomeka kwambeti akabole.
And therefore, in another place also, he saith: Thou shalt 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, when he had served in his generation, according to the will of God, slept: and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption.
37 Nomba usa ngwalapundusha Lesa kubafu, mubili wakendi uliya kubolapo sobwe.
But he whom God hath raised from the dead, saw no corruption.
38 Neco mobanse bame, kamwinshibani kwambeti, kupitila muli Yesu, Lesa lamulekelelenga bwipishi bwenu, ici encotulakambaukunga kulinjamwe.
Be it known therefore to you, men, brethren, that through him forgiveness of sins is preached to you: and from all the things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
39 Uliyense washoma Yesu walulamikwa pamenso a Lesa, uko nkomwelela kubula kukucana pakukonka Milawo ya Mose.
In him every one that believeth, is justified.
40 Amwe cenjelani, kwambeti byalambwa ne bashinshimi bakulukulu bikabule kwinshika kuli njamwe, Ibyo mbyebalambeti,
Beware, therefore, lest that come upon you which is spoken in the prophets:
41 “Kamunyumfwani amwe beshikucobola! Mukankamane ne kufwililila! Pakwinga mucindi cabuyumi bwenu ame ninkensepo cintu nceti mukabule kushoma sobwe, nambi muntu naumbi umusansulwila.”
Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, if any man shall tell it 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 went out, they desired them, that on the next sabbath, they would speak unto them these words.
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.
And when the synagogue was broken up, many of the Jews, and of the strangers who served God, followed Paul and Barnabas: who speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
44 Mpobwalashika busuba bwa Sabata, bantu bonse ba mumunshi uwo balabungana kwambeti banyumfwe maswi a Mwami.
But the next sabbath day, the whole city almost came together, to hear the word of God.
45 Nomba Bayuda basa mpobalabona likoto lyabantu, balanyumfwa munyono. Balatatika kumutoteka Paulo mbyalikwamba, kayi balamucobola.
And the Jews seeing the multitudes, were filled with envy, and contradicted those things which were said by Paul, blaspheming.
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)
Then Paul and Barnabas said boldly: To you it behoved us first to speak the word of God: but because you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
47 Pakwinga Mwami walatwambileti, Ndakubiki kwambeti umunikile bantu bakunsa, Kwambeti bantu balimucishi conse bakapuluke pacebo cakobe.
For so the Lord hath commanded us: I have set thee to be the light of the Gentiles; that thou mayest be for salvation unto the utmost part of the earth.
48 Mpobalanyumfweco bantu bakunsa, balakondwa ne kulumba maswi a Mwami. Abo Lesa mbwalasala kwambeti bakatambule buyumi butapu, balashoma. (aiōnios g166)
And the Gentiles hearing it, were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to life everlasting, believed. (aiōnios g166)
49 Maswi a Mwami alamwaikila kuli konse mucimpansha ici.
And the word of the Lord was published throughout the whole country.
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 stirred up religious and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas: and cast them out of their coasts.
51 Paulo ne Banabasi balapampamuna lusuko kumyendo kwabo, kwambeti lube bukamboni bwa kukana kwabo, kufumapo balaya ku Ikoniya.
But they, shaking off the dust of their feet against them, came to Iconium.
52 Beshikwiya baku Antiyokeya balakondwa kayi balesulilwa ne Mushimu Uswepa.
And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost.
