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.
And there were certain in Antioch, in the assembly there, prophets and teachers: both Barnabas, and Simeon who is called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen also—Herod the tetrarch’s foster-brother—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 in their ministering to the LORD and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate to Me both 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 having fasted, and having prayed, and having laid the 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.
These, indeed, then, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and from there 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 having come to Salamis, they declared the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews, and they also had John [as] a servant;
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 to Paphos, they found a certain magus, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name [is] 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.
who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man; this one having called 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.
and there withstood them Elymas the magus—for so is his name interpreted—seeking to pervert the proconsul from the faith.
9 Nomba Saulo, uyo walikukwiweti Paulo, walesulilwa ne Mushimu Uswepa, walamulangishisha
And Saul—who also [is] Paul—having been filled with the Holy Spirit, and having looked steadfastly on 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 all recklessness, son of a devil, enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting 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, a hand of the LORD [is] on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season”; and instantly there fell on him a mist and darkness, and he, going around, was seeking some to lead [him] by the hand;
12 Mwendeleshi usa mpwalabona calenshika, walashoma. Walakankamana pakunyumfwa mbyobalikwiyisha bya Mwami Yesu.
then the proconsul having seen what has come to pass, believed, being astonished 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 those around Paul having set sail from Paphos, came to Perga of Pamphylia, and John having departed from them, turned back 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.
and they having gone through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia, and having gone into the synagogue on the day of the Sabbaths, 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 of the Prophets, the chief men of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Men, brothers, if there be a word in you of exhortation to the people—say on.”
16 Popelapo Paulo walanyamuka ne kubamweneka bantu ne makasa ne kwambeti. “Amwe Baislayeli baname, ne njamwe mwense mukute kutembaula Lesa, kamunyumfwani!
And Paul having risen, and having beckoned with the hand, said, “Men, Israelites, and those fearing God, listen:
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 Israel chose our fathers, and He exalted the people in their sojourning in the land of Egypt, and He brought them out of it with a high arm;
18 Walabalama cena byaka makumi ana mucinyika, nikukabeti balikwalilwa kumunyumfwila.
and about a period of forty years He endured their conduct 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 having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He divided their land to them by lot.
20 “Ibi byonse byalamanta byaka pepi myanda ina ne makumi asanu. Kufumapo walabapa bomboloshi kushika kucindi ca Samiyele.
And after these things, about four hundred and fifty years, He gave 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 thereafter they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul, son of Kish, 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 having removed him, He raised up to them David for king, to whom also having testified, He said, I found David, the [son] of Jesse, a man according to My heart, who will do all My will.
23 Kufuma mubashikululwa bamucikombo ca Dafeti, Lesa walasalamo Yesu kuba Mupulushi wa Baislayeli, mbuli ncalalaya.
Of this one’s seed, God, according to promise, raised to 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, an immersion of conversion 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 fulfilling the course, he said, Whom do you suppose I am? I am not [He], but behold, He comes after me, of whom I am not worthy to loose the sandal of [His] feet.
26 “Mobanse, mobashikululwa ba Abulahamu, ne njamwe mwense mukute kukambilila Lesa, ni kuli njafwe Lesa nkwalatumini mulumbe uwu walupulusho.
Men, brothers, sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you fearing God, to you was 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 dwelling in Jerusalem, and their chiefs, having not known this One, also the voices of the Prophets, which are being read every Sabbath—having judged [Him]—fulfilled,
28 Nikukabeti baliya kucana mulandu welela lufu, balamusenga Pilato kwambeti Yesuyo ashiniwe.
and having found no cause of death, they asked 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 fulfilled all the things written about Him, having taken [Him] down from the tree, they laid Him in a tomb;
30 Nomba Lesa walamupundusha kubafu,
and God raised Him out of 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 of 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 proclaim good news to you—that the promise made to the fathers,
33 Ibyo mbyalalaya latwinshili afwe, tobashukululwa babo, pakumupundusha Yesu kubafu. Mbuli ncecalembwa Mukutembaula kwacibili kwambeti, Obe omwaname, lelo ndaba baiso.
God has completed this in full to us their children, having raised up Jesus, as also in the second Psalm it has been written: You are My Son—I have begotten You today.
34 Lesa walamupundusha Yesu kubafu kwambeti katabola sobwe. Calenshika mbuli ncalambeti, Ninkakupe colwe caswepa, kayi cancinencine, ico ncendalamulaya Dafeti.
And that He raised Him up out of the dead, to no longer return to corruption, He has said this: I will give to You the holy [blessings] of David [that are] faithful;
35 Ecebo cakendi Mukutembaula nakumbi kayi walambeti, Nteti mukalekelele Musebenshi wenu Washomeka kwambeti akabole.
for what reason He also says in another [place]: You will not give Your 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, indeed, having served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, and was added to 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.
Let it therefore be known to you, men, brothers, that the forgiveness of sins is declared to you through this One,
39 Uliyense washoma Yesu walulamikwa pamenso a Lesa, uko nkomwelela kubula kukucana pakukonka Milawo ya Mose.
and from all things in the Law of Moses from which you were not able to be declared righteous, everyone who is believing in this One is declared righteous;
40 Amwe cenjelani, kwambeti byalambwa ne bashinshimi bakulukulu bikabule kwinshika kuli njamwe, Ibyo mbyebalambeti,
see, therefore, it may not come on you that has been 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.”
See, you despisers, and wonder, and perish, because I work a work in your days, a work in which you may not believe, though anyone may 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 having gone forth out of the synagogue of the Jews, the nations were calling on [them] that on the next Sabbath these sayings may be spoken to them,
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 the synagogue having been dismissed, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, were persuading them to remain in the grace of God.
44 Mpobwalashika busuba bwa Sabata, bantu bonse ba mumunshi uwo balabungana kwambeti banyumfwe maswi a Mwami.
And on the coming Sabbath, almost all the city was gathered 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 having seen the multitudes, were filled with zeal, and contradicted the things spoken by Paul—contradicting and slandering.
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)
And speaking boldly, Paul and Barnabas said, “It was necessary that the word of God be first spoken to you, and seeing you thrust it away, and do not judge yourselves worthy of the continuous life, behold, we turn to the nations; (aiōnios g166)
47 Pakwinga Mwami walatwambileti, Ndakubiki kwambeti umunikile bantu bakunsa, Kwambeti bantu balimucishi conse bakapuluke pacebo cakobe.
for so the LORD has commanded us: I have set you for a light of nations—for your being for salvation to the end 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 nations hearing were glad, and were glorifying the word of the LORD, and believed—as many as were appointed to continuous life; (aiōnios g166)
49 Maswi a Mwami alamwaikila kuli konse mucimpansha ici.
and the word of the LORD was spread abroad through all the 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.
And the Jews stirred up the devout and honorable women, and the first men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and put them out from their borders;
51 Paulo ne Banabasi balapampamuna lusuko kumyendo kwabo, kwambeti lube bukamboni bwa kukana kwabo, kufumapo balaya ku Ikoniya.
and having shaken off the dust of their feet against them, they came to Iconium,
52 Beshikwiya baku Antiyokeya balakondwa kayi balesulilwa ne Mushimu Uswepa.
and the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.
