Incito 15
1 Bantu nabambi balafuma ku Yudeya, balesa ku Antiyokeya, kabayisha bashoma banabo kwambeti, “Na mubula kupalulwa kwelana ne ncelambanga milawo ya Mose, nkamwelela kupuluka sobwe.”
And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except all of you be circumcised after the manner of Moses, all of you cannot be saved.
2 Nomba Paulo ne Banabasi baliya kusuminishana ne ciyisho cilico sobwe, neco balatotekeshana nabo cangofu. Lino banse balapangana kwambeti Paulo ne Banabasi ne banse nabambi baku Antiyokeya, bakenga ku Yelusalemu kuya kubandika makani awa pamo ne batumwa ne bamakulene bamubungano waku Yelusalemu.
When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.
3 Mubungano mpowalabatuma, balapitila ku Foinike ne ku Samaliya, kabaya kwamba mbuli bantu bakunsa mobalikusandukila kuli Lesa. Maswi awa alabakondwelesha beshikwiya bonse.
And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.
4 Mpobalashika ku Yelusalemu, balatambulwa cena ne mubungano ne batumwa kayi ne bamakulene. Paulo ne Banabasi, balamba ncito shonse Lesa nshalensa kupitila mulyendibo.
And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.
5 Nomba bashoma nabambi bali kabacili mu kalikoto ka Bafalisi, balanyamuka ne kwambeti, “Bantu balafumunga mumishobo naimbi kuba beshikwiya ba Yesu belela kupalulwa, kayi twelela kubambileti bakonke Milawo ya Mose.”
But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
6 Lino batumwa ne bamakulene bamubungano, balabungana pamo kwambeti babonepo cena pa nkaniyi.
And the apostles and elders came together in order to consider of this matter. (logos)
7 Mpobalambishana pankaniyi kwacindi citali, Petulo walemana ne kutatika kwambeti, “Mucinshi cena mobanse bame kwambeti, Lesa walansala kaindi pakati penu kwambeti njenga kuya kukambauka Mulumbe Waina, kubantu bamishobo naimbi kwambeti banyumfwe ne kushoma.
And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, all of you know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word (logos) of the gospel, and believe.
8 Lesa uyo ukute kwinshiba cena myoyo ya bantu, walalesha kwambeti bantu ba mishobo naimbi labatambulu pakubapa Mushimu Uswepa, mbuli ncalatupa afwe.
And God, which knows the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) even as he did unto us;
9 Lesa uliya kupusanyapo pakati pabo ne njafwe, pakwinga lushomo lwalaswepesha myoyo yabo.
And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
10 Nipacebo cini ncemulamwelekeshelenga Lesa, pakubabika lijoko panshingo beshikwiya, ilyo bamashali betu bakulukulu, nambi afwe tobene ndyetwalalilwa kulimanta?
Now therefore why tempt all of you God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11 Nkacelela kubeco sobwe, twashoma kwambeti cilatupulushunga twense pamo ne ndibo ni Luse lwa Mwami Yesu.”
But we believe that through the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.
12 Bonse mu mubunganowo balamwena tonto, kabanyumfwa Banabasi ne Paulo ncebalikwamba pabingashilo ne bishikukankamanisha mbyalikwinsa Lesa pakati pabantu bakunsa, kupitila mulyendibo.
Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
13 Mpobalapwisha kwamba, Jemusi walambeti, “Mobanse bame, kamunyumfwani.
And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:
14 Shimoni latwambili cena mbuli Lesa pakutatika, ncalanuka bantu bamishobo naimbi, kupatulapo nabambi kuba bantu bakendi mwine.
Simeon has declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
15 Awa maswi alasuminishananga ne maswi abashinshimi bakulukulu, mbuli ncalembwa mu Mabala a Lesa kwambeti,
And to this agree the words (logos) of the prophets; as it is written,
16 “Ibi byakapwa ninkabwele, kayi ninkebake ng'anda yalawa ya Dafeti. Byapwaika ninkabibake ne kubibambulula cena.
After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
17 ‘Ninkenseco kwambeti bantu nabambi bapacishi capanshi naboyo balangaule Mwami Lesa, uku ekwambeti bantu bamishobo yonse mbondalasala kwambeti babe bakame.
That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, says the Lord, who does all these things.
Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. (aiōn g165)
19 Jemusi walapitilisha kwambeti, “Kwelana ne kuyeya kwakame, afwe katutabatwika mitolo bantu bakunsa balasandukilinga kuli Lesa.
Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
20 Caina tubalembele kalata kwambeti kabatalyanga bintu byasafwana, byabengwa milumbo ku tulesa twakubumba. Balo kabatensanga bufule, kabatalyanga nyama yalifwila, kayi kabatalyanga milopa.
But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
21 Pakwinga Milawo ya Mose, yalatatika kubelengwa ne beshikwiyisha mu manda akupaililamo a Bayuda mu munshi uliwonse, pa busuba buli bonse bwa Sabata kufumina kubyaka byakunyuma.”
For Moses of old time has in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
22 Popelapo batumwa ne bamakulene, pamo ne mubungano wonse, balasuminishana kwambeti basalepo bantu beti batumwe pamo ne Paulo ne Banabasi kuya ku Antiyokeya. Balasalapo Yudasi, walikukwiweti Basabasi, ne Sailasi, batuloba babili aba balikukute bulemu pakati pabashoma.
Then pleased it the apostles and elders with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas and Silas, chief men among the brethren:
23 Kalata njebalabapa yalikwambeti. “Mobanse, afwe batumwa pamo ne bamakulene bamubungano, tulamupanga mitende amwe mobanse baku Antiyokeya, baku Siliya, ne njamwe baku Kilikiya omwashoma muli Mwami Yesu, amwe bantu bakunsa.
And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia.
24 Tulanyumfu kwambeti bantu nabambi bamulikoto lyetu bafumina kuno, besa uko kwisa kumupensha ne kumufulunganya bongo ne ciyisho cabo. Abo ntafwe twabatuma sobwe.
Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, (logos) subverting your souls, saying, All of you must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
25 Lino mpotwabungana twense, twasuminishana kusalapo bantu ne kubatuma uko kuli njamwe. Nibakese pamo ne Paulo ne Banabasi bantu mbotusuni.
It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 Abo balabenga buyumi bwabo kusebensela Mwami Yesu Klistu.
Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Ecebo cakendi tulatumu Yudasi ne Sailasi, kwambeti bese bamwambile ne mulomo mbyotulalembe mukalata.
We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth. (logos)
28 Kuyeya kwetu kulelana ndendende ne Mushimu Uswepa, kwambeti katutamutwika mitolo naimbi yalema sobwe, nsombi milawo ilayandikinga iyi;
For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
29 Kamutalyanga nyama njebalatwalilinga milumbo tulesa twakubumba, kamutalyanga milopa, nambi nyama yalifwila, kayi kamutensanga bufule. Na muyamuke ku bintu ibi nimwinse cena. Kamushalani cena.”
That all of you abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if all of you keep yourselves, all of you shall do well. Fare all of you well.
30 Basa mbobalatuma balaya ku Antiyokeya uko nkobalabunganya mubungano wonse ne kubapa kalata isa.
So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:
31 Mpobalaibelenga kalata isa balakondwa, pakwinga mwalikuba maswi alabayuminisha.
Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
32 Yudasi ne Sailasi balikuba bashinshimi, balabayuminisha banse, balamba nabo kwacindi citali ne kubekalika myoyo panshi.
And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, (logos) and confirmed them.
33 Mpobalekalako nsondo shing'ana, beshikwiya baku Antiyokeya balalayana ne kwambeti, bende mulumuno pa kubwelela kuli balabatuma.
And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles.
34 Nomba nendi Sailasi walashalila.
Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.
35 Paulo ne Banabasi balekala ku Antiyokeya, kabeyisha ne kukambauka maswi a Mwami ne banabo bangi.
Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word (logos) of the Lord, with many others also.
36 Mpopalapita cindi, Paulo walambila Banabasi kwambeti, “Katubwelela twenga tubone bantu mbotwakambukila maswi a mwami Yesu mu minshi yonse na balekalangeconi.”
And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word (logos) of the LORD, and see how they do.
37 Banabasi walikuyandeti bamantilile pamo Yohane Maliko.
And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.
38 Nomba Paulo nkalikuyandeti benga pamo ne Yohane, pakwinga mpobalikuba ku Pamfuliya walabwela combenyuma, ne kubashiya ncito kaitana ipwa.
But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
39 Popelapo balatotekeshana caipa cakwinseti balapansana. Banabasi ne Maliko balatanta bwato ne kuya ku Saipulasi.
And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;
40 Nendi Paulo walasala Sailasi ne kuya pamo, banse mpobalabapailila kwambeti Lesa abape colwe, balanyamuka.
And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.
41 Naboyo balapitila ku Siliya neku Kilikiya kabaya kuyuminisha bantu mu mibungano.
And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
