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 ones having come down from Judea were teaching the brothers that Only unless (you shall become circumcised *N(k)O*) according to the custom (*no*) of Moses, [then] not you are able to 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 was hapening (then *N(k)O*) commotion and (controversy *N(k)O*) no small by Paul and Barnabas with them they appointed to go up Paul and Barnabas and certain others out from them to the apostles and elders to Jerusalem about question this.
3 Mubungano mpowalabatuma, balapitila ku Foinike ne ku Samaliya, kabaya kwamba mbuli bantu bakunsa mobalikusandukila kuli Lesa. Maswi awa alabakondwelesha beshikwiya bonse.
They indeed therefore having been sent forward by the church were passing through (both *no*) Phoenicia and Samaria relating in detail the conversion of the Gentiles and they were bringing joy great to all the brothers.
4 Mpobalashika ku Yelusalemu, balatambulwa cena ne mubungano ne batumwa kayi ne bamakulene. Paulo ne Banabasi, balamba ncito shonse Lesa nshalensa kupitila mulyendibo.
Having come then to Jerusalem (they were received by *N(k)O*) the church and the apostles and the elders, They declared then how much God did 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.”
Rose up now certain of those of the sect of the Pharisees having believed saying that It is necessary to circumcise them to command [them] then to keep the law of Moses.
6 Lino batumwa ne bamakulene bamubungano, balabungana pamo kwambeti babonepo cena pa nkaniyi.
Were gathered together (then *N(k)O*) the apostles and the elders to understand about matter this.
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.
Of much now (controversy *N(k)O*) having taken place, having risen up Peter said to them; Men brothers, you yourselves know that from days early among (you *N(K)O*) chose God through the mouth of mine to hear the Gentiles the word of the gospel and to believe.
8 Lesa uyo ukute kwinshiba cena myoyo ya bantu, walalesha kwambeti bantu ba mishobo naimbi labatambulu pakubapa Mushimu Uswepa, mbuli ncalatupa afwe.
And the heart-knowing God bore witness to them having given (to them *k*) the Spirit Holy even as also to us;
9 Lesa uliya kupusanyapo pakati pabo ne njafwe, pakwinga lushomo lwalaswepesha myoyo yabo.
and no [thing] He made distinction between us also and them by the faith having purified the hearts of them.
10 Nipacebo cini ncemulamwelekeshelenga Lesa, pakubabika lijoko panshingo beshikwiya, ilyo bamashali betu bakulukulu, nambi afwe tobene ndyetwalalilwa kulimanta?
Now therefore why are you testing God to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples that neither the fathers of us nor we ourselves were able to bear?
11 Nkacelela kubeco sobwe, twashoma kwambeti cilatupulushunga twense pamo ne ndibo ni Luse lwa Mwami Yesu.”
But through the grace of the Lord Jesus (Christ *K*) we believe to be saved in [the] same manner [as] they also. they also.
12 Bonse mu mubunganowo balamwena tonto, kabanyumfwa Banabasi ne Paulo ncebalikwamba pabingashilo ne bishikukankamanisha mbyalikwinsa Lesa pakati pabantu bakunsa, kupitila mulyendibo.
Kept silent now all the multitude and were listening to Barnabas and Paul relating how much did God signs and wonders among the Gentiles through them.
13 Mpobalapwisha kwamba, Jemusi walambeti, “Mobanse bame, kamunyumfwani.
After now being silent they answered James saying; Men brothers, do hear me.
14 Shimoni latwambili cena mbuli Lesa pakutatika, ncalanuka bantu bamishobo naimbi, kupatulapo nabambi kuba bantu bakendi mwine.
Simeon has related even as first God visited to take out of [the] Gentiles a people (upon *k*) for the name of Him;
15 Awa maswi alasuminishananga ne maswi abashinshimi bakulukulu, mbuli ncalembwa mu Mabala a Lesa kwambeti,
And with this agree the words of the prophets even as it has been written:
16 “Ibi byakapwa ninkabwele, kayi ninkebake ng'anda yalawa ya Dafeti. Byapwaika ninkabibake ne kubibambulula cena.
After these things I will return and will rebuild the tabernacle of David which having fallen and the (ruined *NK(o)*) of it I will rebuild and I will set upright it;
17 ‘Ninkenseco kwambeti bantu nabambi bapacishi capanshi naboyo balangaule Mwami Lesa, uku ekwambeti bantu bamishobo yonse mbondalasala kwambeti babe bakame.
so that when may seek out the remnant of men the Lord and all the Gentiles, upon whom has been called the name of Me upon them, says [the] Lord (who *ko*) is doing these things (all *K*)
known from eternity’ (is to God all the works of him. *K*) (aiōn g165)
19 Jemusi walapitilisha kwambeti, “Kwelana ne kuyeya kwakame, afwe katutabatwika mitolo bantu bakunsa balasandukilinga kuli Lesa.
Therefore I myself judge not to trouble those who from the Gentiles are turning 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 to write to them to abstain from (from *k*) the pollutions of the idols and sexual immorality and that which is 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.”
Moses for from generations of old in every city those proclaiming him he is in the synagogues on every Sabbath being read.
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 it seemed good to the apostles and to the elders with all the church having chosen men out from them to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, Judas who (is being called *N(k)O*) Barsabbas and Silas, men leading among the brothers,
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.

Inasmuch as we have heard that some from us went out troubled you by words upsetting the minds of you (saying to be circumcised and to keep the law *K*) to whom not we had given instructions,
25 Lino mpotwabungana twense, twasuminishana kusalapo bantu ne kubatuma uko kuli njamwe. Nibakese pamo ne Paulo ne Banabasi bantu mbotusuni.

26 Abo balabenga buyumi bwabo kusebensela Mwami Yesu Klistu.
men having handed over the lives of them for the name of the Lord of us Jesus Christ.
27 Ecebo cakendi tulatumu Yudasi ne Sailasi, kwambeti bese bamwambile ne mulomo mbyotulalembe mukalata.

28 Kuyeya kwetu kulelana ndendende ne Mushimu Uswepa, kwambeti katutamutwika mitolo naimbi yalema sobwe, nsombi milawo ilayandikinga iyi;
It seemed good for to the Spirit (*no*) Holy and to us no further to lay upon you burden except 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.”
to abstain from idol-sacrifices and from blood and (from a strangled [one] *N(k)O*) and from sexual immorality; From these keeping yourselves well you will do. Farewell!

They indeed therefore having been sent off (went *N(k)O*) to Antioch, and having gathered the multitude they delivered the letter.
31 Mpobalaibelenga kalata isa balakondwa, pakwinga mwalikuba maswi alabayuminisha.

Judas both and Silas, also themselves prophets being, through talk much exhorted the brothers and strengthened [them].
33 Mpobalekalako nsondo shing'ana, beshikwiya baku Antiyokeya balalayana ne kwambeti, bende mulumuno pa kubwelela kuli balabatuma.
Having continued then a time they were sent away in peace from the brothers to those (having sent *N(K)O*) (them. *no*)
34 Nomba nendi Sailasi walashalila.
(It seemed good however to Silas to remain here. *K*)
35 Paulo ne Banabasi balekala ku Antiyokeya, kabeyisha ne kukambauka maswi a Mwami ne banabo bangi.
Paul however and Barnabas were staying in Antioch teaching and evangelising with also others many the word of the Lord.
36 Mpopalapita cindi, Paulo walambila Banabasi kwambeti, “Katubwelela twenga tubone bantu mbotwakambukila maswi a mwami Yesu mu minshi yonse na balekalangeconi.”
After now some days said to Barnabas Paul; Having turned back indeed let us look after the brothers (of us *k*) in city every in which we have announced the word of the Lord, how they are.
37 Banabasi walikuyandeti bamantilile pamo Yohane Maliko.

Paul however was considering the [one] having withdrawn from them from Pamphylia and not having gone with them to the work not (to take along *N(k)(o)*) him.
