Imbombo 13
1 Lino mulukong'ano ulwa ku Atiokia kwevaliale Vamos avaviili na vavulanisi. Valyale u Barnabas, Simeoni (akatambulivwagha Nigeria). Lukio ughwa ku Kirene, Manaeni(unyalukolo juno alyale ghwa danda ja Herode mulongosi ghwa kighavo), nu Sauli.
Now in the congregation that was in Antioch there were certain prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon (the one called Niger), Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch), and Saul.
2 Pano valyale vikufunya kwa Mutwa na kubuhila kulia, U Mhepo Mwimike akati, “Mumbaghulile palubale u Barnaba nu Sauli, vajivombe imbombo jino nikavakemelile.”
As they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart to me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them!”
3 Pano ulukong'ano yelubuhila kulia, kukufunya, nakuvika amavoko ghave kuvanhu ava, vakavaleka valutaghe.
Then, having fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them off.
4 Pa uluo u Barnabas nu Sauli valyamwitike uMhepo Mwimike pe vakikagha kuluta Seleukia; Kuhuma ukuo valyaghendile mu nyanja kuluta mu kiponge ikya Kipro.
So, having been sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia; and from there they sailed to Cyprus.
5 Panovalyale mulikaja ilya Salami, vakapulisigha ilisioilisio lya Nguluve munyumba isa kufunyila isa va Yahudi. Kange valyale palikimo nu Yohana Marko hwene n'tangili ghuvanave.
And upon arriving in Salamis, they started proclaiming the Word of God in the synagogues of the Jews (also they had John as assistant).
6 Yevalutile mukiponge kyoni mpaka ku Pafo, valyam'bene umunhu jumonga umavi, Myahudi um'bili ghwa vudesi juno ilitavua lya mwene ghwe Bar Yesu.
Now when they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew named Bar-Jesus,
7 Umavi uju alyatangine nu Liwali Sergio Paulus, juno alyale munhu umunyaluhala. umunhu uju alyavaghongolile u Barnaba nu Sauli, ulwakuvaulwakuva alyalondagha kupulika ilisiio lya Nguluve.
who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, really wanting to hear the Word of God.
8 Looli u Elima “Umavi jula” (ndikio ilitavua lya mwenemwene fye lilya ghanulivue) alyavakanile; akghelile kukusetua u liwali jula ahume mulwitiko.
But the sorcerer Elymas (for so his name is translated) opposed them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
9 Looli uSauli juno atambulwagha Paulo, alyamemile uMhepo Mwimike, akamulungumalila amaso
Then Saul, also called Paul, filled with Holy Spirit and looking intently at him,
10 pe akajova “Uve mwana ghwaghwa setano, umemile ija vudesi sooni nu vuvotevote uve ulimulugu wa sakyang'ani. Nuladugha kusetulania isila sa Mutwa, sino sigholuike, voli ghughela?
said: “O full of all deceit and all trickery, son of a devil, enemy of all righteousness! Will you not stop perverting the straight ways of the Lord?
11 Lino lolagha, ulukolo ulwa Mutwa lulinuve, lino peghuliva m'bofu. Nhulyalivona ilijuva kunsiki” nakalingi ulutuka ni ng'isi filyaghwile kawa Elimasi; akatengula kusyungulika pala avanhu vamulongolele vakan'kola uluvoko.
Well now, the Lord's hand is against you and you will be blind, not seeing the sun until next season!” Immediately mist and darkness engulfed him, and he started going around looking for someone to lead him by the hand.
12 Ye u Liwali alolile kino kihumile akitika ulwakuva alyale idegha imbulanisio isa Mutwa
Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had happened, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
13 Lino u Paulo na vamanyani vamwene vakaghenda mumalenga kuhuma ku Pafo pevakafika ku Perge mu Pamfilia. Looli u Yohana akavaleka na kugomoka ku Yerusalemu.
Then Paul and his party set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphilia (here John left them and returned to Jerusalem).
14 U Paulo nu manyaani ghwa mwene vakaghenda kuhuma ku Perge pevakafika ku Antiokia ija ku Pisidia. Ukwo valyalutile munyumba ijakufunyila mukighono ikya sabati na pikukala pasi.
Going on from Perga they arrived in Antioch of Pisidia; and entering the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they sat down.
15 Ye vimbile indaghilo na vaviili, avalongosi va nyumba sakufunyila akavomolela imola vakatisagha, “Vanyalukolo, nave mulinajo imola ijakuhovosia avaanhu mumwooojo avanhu apa, joovaghajoovagha”.
After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue leaders sent to them, saying, “Men, brothers, if you have a word of encouragement for the people, do speak.”
16 Pa uluo u Paulo akiima nakuvapungila uluvoko, akatisagha, “Mwe vaghosi vamu Israeli numue mwevano muleva kwa Nguluve pulikisia.
So standing up and motioning with his hand, Paul said: “Men of Israel and you who fear God, listen.
17 U Nguluve ughwa vaanhu ava mu Israeli alyavasalyile ava Nhata viitu na pikuvavomba avanhu vinga yevikalile mu iisi ija mu Misri, kukilila muluvoko lwa mwene kunyanyulua alyavalongwisie kunji kwa mwene.
The God of this people chose our fathers, and prospered the people during their sojourn in the land of Egypt, and brought them out of it with an uplifted arm.
18 Amaka ifijigho fine aligudile mulukuve.
For a period of about forty years He put up with them in the wilderness.
19 Ye ananginie ifisina lekela lubali mu iisi ija kanani alyavapelile avaanhu viitu muiisi jaave kuva ja vuhasi.
And when He had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He gave them possession of their land.
20 Isi sooni silyahumiile amaka ifilundo fine ni fijigho fihano. Ye fikilile ifiinu ifi fyoni, uNguluve alyavapelile avalamusi mpaka u Samweli nu M'biili.
After these things, He gave judges for about four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
21 Ye sisilile isi, avanhu valyasumile u Ntua, pe u Nguluve akavapela u Sauli umwana wa Kishi, umunhu ughwa kabila ija Benjamini, kuuva Ntua ghwa make ifijigho fine.
And then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul, a son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
22 Looli u Nguluve ye am'busisie muvutua, akantosia u Daudi kuuva Ntua ghwa vanave. lulyale lwa kumulonda u Daudi kuuti uNguluve alyajovile, “Nin'kavile u Daudi umwana ghwa Yese kuuva munhu juno mwoojo ghuango ghukunoghelua; juno ivoombagha ifiinu fyooni fino nifighanile.'
And removing him He raised up for them David as king, about whom He gave witness and said, ‘I have found David son of Jesse a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’
23 Kuhuma mu kikolo ikya munhu uju u Nguluve ajiletile i Israeli um'poki, uYesu, ndavule alyafingile kuvoomba.
God, from this man's seed, according to promise, has brought Salvation to Israel,
24 Iili lilyatenguile kuhumila ye akyale kukwisa, u Yohana taasi akapulisyagha ulwofugho ulwa lulato kuvanhu ava mu Israeli.
John having heralded beforehand, in advance of His coming, a baptism of repentance to Israel.
25 Ghwope u Yohana pano alyale imalisia imbombo jake akatisagha, “Mu kunisagha une nene veeni? une nanene jula. Looli mupulikisyaghe, juno ikwisa munsana mu Lyune, na ni vaaghiile ku lendesia ifilato fya maghulu ghamwene.'
Well, as John was fulfilling his course, he said: ‘Whom do you suppose me to be? No I am not—but indeed He comes after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’
26 Vanyalukolo, mwevana vakisina kya Abrahamu, navala vano mun'kate mulyumue mukufynya kwa Nguluve, vwimila vwitu kuuti imola iiji uvuvaangi vusung'ilue.
“Men, brothers, sons of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God: to you the word of this salvation has been sent.
27 Kuvala vano vikukala ku Yerusalemu, navatemi vavanave, navalyan'kangwile sa kyang'ani, nakuuva navalyalutang'inie uvwolesi vwa vaviili vuno vukwimbua jaatu pa Sabati; pa uluo valyakwisisie imola ija vaviili ulwa kumigha u Yesu kufua.
The Jerusalem dwellers and their rulers, understanding neither Him nor the voices of the prophets that are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning Him.
28 Napato navalyaluvwene vunono ulwa kufwila n'kate mwamwene, valyan'sumile u Pilato am'bude.
Though they found no cause for death, they asked Pilate to have Him executed.
29 Vatile vamalile isio sooni sino silyalembilue vwimila umwene, vakamwisia kuhuma mumpiki nakumughonia mu mbipa.
When they had fulfilled all things that were written about Him, they took Him down from the cross and placed Him in a tomb.
30 Looli u Nguluve alyan'syusisie kuhuma kuvafue.
But God raised Him from the dead;
31 Alyavonike mufighono finga kuvala vano vakaghendaniagha palikimo nu mwene kuhuma ku Galilaya kuluta ku Yerusalemu. Avaanhu ava lino vevolesi va vaanhu.
and for many days He was seen by those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are His witnesses to the people.
32 Ku uluo tukuvaletela imola inofu vwimila ifiingo sino valyapelilue avisukulu viitu.
“Yes we proclaim to you the good news: the promise that was made to the fathers,
33 U Nguluve alyavikile ifingo isi kulyumue, avana vavanave, mu uluo alyan'syusisie u Yesu nakukun'gomosia kange ku vwumi. Iili kange lilyalembilue mu Zaburi ija vuvili: 'Uve uli mwanango, umusyughu nili Nhata ghuako'
God has fulfilled the same to us, their children, when He raised up Jesus; as also it stands written in the second Psalm: ‘You are my Son, today I have begotten you.’
34 Kange vwimila uvwa kyang'ani kwekuuti alyansyusisie kuhuma kuvafue ulwakuuti umbili ghwa mwene ghuleka pinangika, ajovileajovile ndiki: 'Nikukupelagha uvwimike ni nyifunyo sa kyang'ani sa Daudi'
And that He raised Him from the dead, no longer to return to corruption, He has spoken thus, ‘I will give you the holy things guaranteed to David.’
35 Ulu fyenambe ajovile kange mu ZaburiZaburi isinge, 'Naghukum'pelagha u vwimike vwako kukuvuvona uvuvole.'
Further, it is stated elsewhere, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’
36 Ulwakuva u Daudi ye avombile uvughane vwa Nguluve mukikolo kya mwene, akaghonelela, alyaghonile palikimo na vapafi va mwene, pe alyavwaghile uvunangike,
Now David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and saw decay;
37 Looli juno alyasyusivue nu Nguluve nalyavwaghile uvunangike.
but the One whom God raised up did not see decay.
38 Uluo fyelukagulikaghe kulyumue, vanyalukolo, kukilila umunhu uju, ulusaghilo lwa vuhosi ludalikivue.
Therefore, let it be known to you, men, brothers, that through this One forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you;
39 Kwa mwene ghweni juno ikumwitika ivalilua vwakyang'ani naghoni ghanoghano indaghilo sa Musa nasale sikuvapela uvwakyang'ani.
and by Him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the Law of Moses.
40 Pa uluo muve vafwihu kuuti kino valyajovile avaviili kilahumilagha kulyumue:
So take care, lest there come upon you that which has been spoken in the prophets:
41 'Lolagha, umue mwevano musyojola, mudeghaghe kange mutipulivuaghe; ulwakuva nivoomba imbombo mufighono fiinu, imbombo jino namungajitike, nambe umunhu avoleleele ndani.”
‘Look you despisers, marvel and perish! For I am working a work in your days to which you will not give credence, even if someone were to explain it in detail to you.’”
42 Unsiki ghuno Upaulo nu Barnaba ye vavukile, avanhu vakasuma vajove amasio agha kighono kya Sabati jinojikwisa kange.
Now as the Jews were going out of the synagogue, the Gentiles implored repeatedly that these words might be spoken to them the next Sabbath.
43 Unsiki ghuno ulukong'ano ulwa munyumba ija kufunyila ye yeghusilile, avaYahudi vinga na vimike avapesia vakam'bingilila uPaulo nu Barnaba, vano valyajovile navoope vakavaghimbilisia vaghendelelaghe mu lusungu lwa Nguluve.
The synagogue service having been dismissed, many of the Jews and the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who started addressing them, urging them to continue in the grace of God.
44 Isabati jino jilyavingilile, hwene ilikaja lyoni lilyakong'anile kupulika ilisio lya Nguluve.
Well the next Sabbath almost the whole city was gathered to hear the Word of God.
45 Ava Yahudi ye vavwene amapugha, vakamemagha igila nakujova amasio ghano ghakakanagha sooni sino silyajovilue nu Paulo kange vakamulighagha.
But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with envy and started speaking against the things said by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
46 Looli u Paulo nu Barnaba vakajovagha ni ngufu vakatisagha, “Luvele lunofu kuuti ilisio lya Nguluve lijovuaghe tasi kulyumue. Ulwakuva mukulidaghila kutali kuhumakuhuma kulyumue na pikujagha kuuti namukanoghile uvwumi uvwa kuvusile nakusila, lolagha tukuvasyetukilagha ifisina. (aiōnios g166)
But Paul and Barnabas speaking boldly said: “It was necessary that God's Word should be spoken to you first. But since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, now we are being turned to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
47 Ndavule umutwa atuvulile, pano iiti, “Nivaviikile umwe hwene lumuli kuvanhu avapanji, ulwakuuti mulute uvuvaangi kumbale sooni isa iisi.”
Because that is just how the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have set you to be a light for ethnic nations, that you should be for salvation up to the last place on earth.’”
48 Avapanji yevapulike ili, valyahovwike nakulighinia ilisio lya Mutwa. Vinga vano alyasalulivue kuvwumi uvwajatu valyitike. (aiōnios g166)
Now upon hearing this, the Gentiles rejoiced and glorified the Word of the Lord; and as many as had been appointed to eternal live believed. (aiōnios g166)
49 Ilisio lya Mutwa likakwila iisi jooni.
Well the Word of the Lord was being spread throughout all the region.
50 Looli ava Yahudi vakavapelepesia vano valihumisie nava mama avwimike, kange navalongosi valikaja. Isi silyahovelisie imumuko kwa Paulo nu Barnaba pe vakatagha kunji kumaka sa likaja.
But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, and raised up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their borders.
51 Looli u Paulo nu Barnaba valyakung'unile iling'undi mumaghulu ghavane.
So they shook off the dust from their feet against them, and went to Iconium.
52 Pe vakaluta mulikaja ilya Ikonia. Avavulanisivua vakamema ulukelo palikimo Mhepo u Mwimike.
But the disciples were filled with joy and with Holy Spirit.
