Imbombo 11
1 Avasung'ua navanyalukolo Valarie vano valyale ukuo ku Yudea valyapulike kuuti avapanji vupili ilisio ilya Nguluve.
Now the Apostles, and the brethren in various parts of Judaea, heard that the Gentiles also had received God's Message;
2 U Petro ye isile ukuo ku Yerusalemu, ikipugha kila ikya vanhu vanovalyahinjilue vakatengula kukum'beda, vakajova,
and, when Peter returned to Jerusalem, the champions of circumcision found fault with him.
3 “Ukolile na vanhu vano navahinjilue nakulia naveve!”
"You went into the houses of men who are not Jews," they said, "and you ate with them."
4 Looli u Petro alyatenguile kujova ikituko kind kilimunkate; akati,
Peter, however, explained the whole matter to them from the beginning.
5 “NIlyale nikufunya mulikaja ilya Yafa, nikasaghile inyisaghilo isakyombo kikwika pasi ndavule umwenda u n'kome ghukwika kuhuma kukyanya imbaleimbale sake sooni ine. Kikika kulyune.
"While I was in the town of Jaffa, offering prayer," he said, "in a trance I saw a vision. There descended what seemed to be an enormous sail, being let down from the sky by ropes at the four corners, and it came close to me.
6 Nilyakilolile nakusagha pa mwene. NikafyaghilaNikafyaghila ifidimua ifinyamaghulu ghane finofikukala mu iisi, nifidimua ifya mulisoli, nifidimua fino fikwafula nifijuni ifyakuvulanga.
Fixing my eyes on it, I examined it closely, and saw various kinds of quadrupeds, wild beasts, reptiles and birds.
7 nge nilyapulike ilisio lijova nuune, “Sisimuka, Petrol, hinja ulie!”
I also heard a voice saying to me, "'Rise, Peter, kill and eat.'
8 Nikajova, “Naluliinala, Mutwa, mumulomo ghwango nakighelile kukwingila ikinu kye kyoni kill kind na kyimike nambe kivivi”
"'On no account, Lord,' I replied, 'for nothing unholy or impure has ever gone into my mouth.'
9 Loli ilisio likamula kange kuhuma kukyanya, kila kino uNguluve alyapulisie kuuti kinofu, nungakikemelaghe vulamafu,
"But a voice answered, speaking a second time from the sky, "'What God has purified, you must not regard as unholy.'
10 Ulululyahumile katatu, kange Kira kiinu kikatolilue kukyanya.
"This was said three times, and then everything was drawn up again out of sight.
11 Lolagha, unsiki ghughuo avanhu vatatu vimile pavulongolo pa nyumba jino tuliale; vomolivue kuhuma ku Kaisaria kukwisa kulyune.
"Now at that very moment three men came to the house where we were, having been sent from Caesarea to find me.
12 U Mhepo akambulile kuluta nave, nasingahwananaghe nave. Ava ghosi ntanda vakaluta palikimo nuune tukaluta munyumba jamunhu jumo.
And the Spirit told me to accompany them without any misgivings. There also went with me these six brethren who are now present, and we reached the Centurion's house.
13 Alyatuvulile ndavule alya mbwene unyamola imile munkate munyumba jamwene ijova, “Unyomole ku Yafa nikantole u Simoni juno ilitavua lya mwene ilinge ghwe Petro.
Then he described to us how he had seen the angel come and enter his house and say, "'Send to Jaffa and fetch Simon, surnamed Peter.
14 Ilijova imola mulyuve mu uluo kuuti kuvanguka uve munyumba jako Joni.”
He will teach you truths by which you and all your family will be saved.'"
15 Pe alyatenguile kujova navope, u Mhepo Mwimike akisa kuvanave ndavule ye isile pa vwasio.
"And," said Peter, "no sooner had I begun to speak than the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as He fell upon us at the first.
16 Nikumbuka amasio gha Mutwa ghanoalyajovile, u Yohana alyofuighe namalenga; looli mukwofughua nu Mhepo u Mwimike.”
Then I remembered the Lord's words, how He used to say, "'John baptized with water, but you shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit.'
17 Ndavule u Nguluve ahumisie uluvonolo ndavule silo alyatupelile usue panoramic tulitike kwa Mutwa Yesu kilisite, une nene veni, kuuti sighwesia kukun'kana u Nguluve?
"If therefore God gave them the same gift as He gave us when we first believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, why, who was I to be able to thwart God?"
18 Ye vapulike amasio agha, navakagomwisie, looli vakamongisie u Nguluve na kuuti, “U Nguluve ahumisie vwumila kange muvapanji”
This statement of Peter's silenced his opponents. They extolled the goodness of God, and said, "So, then, to the Gentiles also God has given the repentance which leads to Life."
19 Kange avitiki vino valyale mu mumuko sino silyatengulile mu vufue vya Stephano valyapalasine kuhuma ku Yerusalemu -avitiki ava valyalutile kuvutali, umpaka kuvusililo ku Foinike, Kipro naku Antiokia. Valyavavulile imola kuuti u Yesu jujuo mwene kuva Yahudi nambe kwa munhu ghweni.
Those, however, who had been driven in various directions by the persecution which broke out on account of Stephen made their way to Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch, delivering the Message to none but Jews.
20 Looli avanhu vamo kuhuma ku kipro na ku Krene, valisile ku Antiokia nakujova nava Yunani nakumpulisia u Yesu.
But some of them were Cyprians and Cyrenaeans, who, on coming to Antioch, spoke to the Greeks also and told them the Good News concerning the Lord Jesus.
21 Nuluvoko ulwa Mutwa tulyale palikimo nu mwene, navanhu vinga valyiitike nakusyentukila u Mutwa.
The power of the Lord was with them, and there were a vast number who believed and turned to the Lord.
22 Imola sivanave sikavafikile mu mbughulutu munyumba ija ku Yerusalemu: navakamwomwile u Barnaba alute mpaka kuvusililo uvwa Antiokia.
When tidings of this reached the ears of the Church in Jerusalem, they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch.
23 Ye isile nakukivona ikipelua ikya Nguluve alyahovwike; kange akavamemia ingufu munumbula save kujigha nu Mutua kumojo aghavanave.
On getting there he was delighted to see the grace which God had bestowed; and he encouraged them all to remain, with fixed resolve, faithful to the Lord.
24 Ulwakuva alyale munhu nofu kange amemesivue nu Mhepo Mwimike nu lwitiko ulwa vanhu vinga vakongelela mwa Mutwa.
For he was a good man, and was full of the Holy Spirit and of faith; and the number of believers in the Lord greatly increased.
25 Pa uluo u Barnaba akalutile ku Tarso kukumwagha u Sauli.
Then Barnabas paid a visit to Tarsus to try to find Saul.
26 Ye amwaghile akantwala ku Antiokia. Lukale amaka ghoni valyakong'anile munyumba ja kufunyila nakuvavulanisia avanhu vinga. Navavulanesivua vakatambulivua vakilisite ulwa kwasia ukuo ku Antiokia.
He succeeded, and brought him to Antioch; and for a whole year they attended the meetings of the Church, and taught a large number of people. And it was in Antioch that the disciples first received the name of 'Christians.'
27 Mufighono ifi avavili vakika kuhuma ku Yerusalemu umpaka ku Antiokia.
At that time certain Prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch,
28 Jumonga muvanave ghwe Agabo lyelitavua lya mwene, akiima akasonua nu Mhepo kuuti injala ng'ali jihumila mu iisi joni. Ulu lulyahumile munsiki ughwa fighono ifya Klaudio.
one of whom, named Agabus, being instructed by the Spirit, publicly predicted the speedy coming of a great famine throughout the world. (It came in the reign of Claudius.)
29 Lino, vavulanesivua, ndavule jumo juno apatile, valyalamwile kutwaala inangilo kuvanyalukolo vano valikuvu Yahudi.
So the disciples decided to send relief, every one in proportion to his means, to the brethren living in Judaea.
30 Valyavombile anala; Vakomola indalama muluvoko ulwa Barnaba nu Sauli.
This they did, forwarding their contributions to the Elders by Barnabas and Saul.
