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 there were in the church at Antioch, several prophets and teachers; Barnabas, and Simon called Niger, and Lucius who was from the city Cyrene, and Menaen, a son of the guardians of 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.”

And while they were fasting and making supplication to God, the Holy Spirit said to them: Separate to me Saul and Barnabas, for the work to which I have called them.

3 Pano ulukong'ano yelubuhila kulia, kukufunya, nakuvika amavoko ghave kuvanhu ava, vakavaleka valutaghe.

And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid the hand on them, and sent them away.

4 Pa uluo u Barnabas nu Sauli valyamwitike uMhepo Mwimike pe vakikagha kuluta Seleukia; Kuhuma ukuo valyaghendile mu nyanja kuluta mu kiponge ikya Kipro.

And they, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and from there they went by sea as far as 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 when they entered the city of Salamis, they announced the word of our Lord in the synagogues of the Jews. And John ministered to them.

6 Yevalutile mukiponge kyoni mpaka ku Pafo, valyam'bene umunhu jumonga umavi, Myahudi um'bili ghwa vudesi juno ilitavua lya mwene ghwe Bar Yesu.

And when they had travelled over the whole island as far as the city Paphos, they found a certain man, a sorcerer, a Jew, who was a false prophet, and whose name was Bar-Suma.

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.

He adhered to a wise man, who was the proconsul, and was called Sergius Paulus. And the proconsul sent for Saul and Barnabas, and requested to hear from them 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.

And this sorcerer, Bar-Suma, (whose name is interpreted, Elymas, ) withstood them; because he wished to divert the proconsul from the faith.

9 Looli uSauli juno atambulwagha Paulo, alyamemile uMhepo Mwimike, akamulungumalila amaso

And Saul who is called Paul, was filled with the Holy Spirit; and he looked upon 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?

and said: O thou full of all subtilties, and all mischiefs, thou child of the calumniator, and enemy of all righteousness; wilt thou not cease to pervert the right 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.

And now, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, and shalt not see the sun for a time. And immediately there fell upon him a mist and darkness; and he went about, inquiring who would take him by the hand.

12 Ye u Liwali alolile kino kihumile akitika ulwakuva alyale idegha imbulanisio isa Mutwa

And when the proconsul saw what occurred, he was astonished; and he believed the doctrine 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.

And Paul and Barnabas went by sea, from the city of Paphos, and came to Perga, a city of Pamphylia. And John separated from them, and went away 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.

And they departed from Perga, and came to Antioch, a city of Pisidia: and they entered the synagogue, on the sabbath day, and 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”.

And after the law had been read, and the prophets, the Elders of the synagogue sent to them, and said: Men, brethren, if ye have a word of exhortation, address the people.

16 Pa uluo u Paulo akiima nakuvapungila uluvoko, akatisagha, “Mwe vaghosi vamu Israeli numue mwevano muleva kwa Nguluve pulikisia.

And Paul arose, and waved his hand, and said: Men, sons of Israel, and ye that fear God, hear ye.

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 raised them up, and multiplied them, when they resided in the land of Egypt; and, with a high arm, he brought them out of it.

18 Amaka ifijigho fine aligudile mulukuve.

And he fed them in the wilderness forty years.

19 Ye ananginie ifisina lekela lubali mu iisi ija kanani alyavapelile avaanhu viitu muiisi jaave kuva ja vuhasi.

And he extirpated seven nations in the land of Canaan, and gave them their land for an inheritance.

20 Isi sooni silyahumiile amaka ifilundo fine ni fijigho fihano. Ye fikilile ifiinu ifi fyoni, uNguluve alyavapelile avalamusi mpaka u Samweli nu M'biili.

And for four hundred and fifty years he gave them judges, 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 themselves a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, during 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 he removed him, and raised up to them David as king: and he testified of him, and said: I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart: he will do all my pleasure.

23 Kuhuma mu kikolo ikya munhu uju u Nguluve ajiletile i Israeli um'poki, uYesu, ndavule alyafingile kuvoomba.

From the seed of this man, hath God raised up to Israel, as he promised, Jesus a deliverer.

24 Iili lilyatenguile kuhumila ye akyale kukwisa, u Yohana taasi akapulisyagha ulwofugho ulwa lulato kuvanhu ava mu Israeli.

And, before his advent, he sent John to proclaim the baptism of repentance to all the people of 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.'

And while John was fulfilling his ministry, he said: Who, suppose ye, that I am? I am not he. But lo, he cometh after me; of whom I am not worthy to untie his shoe-strings.

26 Vanyalukolo, mwevana vakisina kya Abrahamu, navala vano mun'kate mulyumue mukufynya kwa Nguluve, vwimila vwitu kuuti imola iiji uvuvaangi vusung'ilue.

Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and all who, with you, fear God, to you is this word of life 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.

For, those inhabitants of Jerusalem and their chiefs, did not apprehend it; neither did they apprehend also the writings of the prophets, which are read every sabbath; but they condemned him, and fulfilled all the things written.

28 Napato navalyaluvwene vunono ulwa kufwila n'kate mwamwene, valyan'sumile u Pilato am'bude.

And while they found no ground for his death, they desired of Pilate that they might kill him.

29 Vatile vamalile isio sooni sino silyalembilue vwimila umwene, vakamwisia kuhuma mumpiki nakumughonia mu mbipa.

And when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning him, they took him down from the cross, and laid him in a sepulchre.

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 he was seen many days, by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem; and they are now his witnesses to the people.

32 Ku uluo tukuvaletela imola inofu vwimila ifiingo sino valyapelilue avisukulu viitu.

And lo, we also announce to you, that the promise, which was made to our 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'

lo, God hath fulfilled it to us their children, in that he raised up Jesus; as it is written in the second psalm: Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

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 God hath so raised him from the dead, that he will not return again and see corruption; as he said: I will give to you the sure grace of David.

35 Ulu fyenambe ajovile kange mu ZaburiZaburi isinge, 'Naghukum'pelagha u vwimike vwako kukuvuvona uvuvole.'

And again he said, in another place: Thou hast not given thy devout one to see corruption.

36 Ulwakuva u Daudi ye avombile uvughane vwa Nguluve mukikolo kya mwene, akaghonelela, alyaghonile palikimo na vapafi va mwene, pe alyavwaghile uvunangike,

For David, in his generation, served the pleasure of God, and went to rest, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption.

37 Looli juno alyasyusivue nu Nguluve nalyavwaghile uvunangike.

But this person, whom God raised up, did not see corruption.

38 Uluo fyelukagulikaghe kulyumue, vanyalukolo, kukilila umunhu uju, ulusaghilo lwa vuhosi ludalikivue.

Know therefore, brethren, that through this man remission 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 every one that believeth in this man, is made just from all things, from which ye could not be made just by the law of Moses.

40 Pa uluo muve vafwihu kuuti kino valyajovile avaviili kilahumilagha kulyumue:

Beware, therefore, lest that come upon you, which is written in the prophets:

41 'Lolagha, umue mwevano musyojola, mudeghaghe kange mutipulivuaghe; ulwakuva nivoomba imbombo mufighono fiinu, imbombo jino namungajitike, nambe umunhu avoleleele ndani.”

Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish; for I work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though a man relate it to you.

42 Unsiki ghuno Upaulo nu Barnaba ye vavukile, avanhu vakasuma vajove amasio agha kighono kya Sabati jinojikwisa kange.

And when they had gone from them, they besought them to speak the same things to them the next sabbath day.

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.

And when the synagogue was dismissed, many Jews went after them, and likewise proselytes who feared God. And they conversed with them, and persuaded them to adhere to the grace of God.

44 Isabati jino jilyavingilile, hwene ilikaja lyoni lilyakong'anile kupulika ilisio lya Nguluve.

And the next sabbath, the whole city assembled 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.

And when the Jews saw the great assembly, they were filled with envy, and set them selves against the words which Paul spoke, and blasphemed.

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)

And Paul and Barnabas said openly: To you first, ought the word of God to be spoken; but because ye repel it from you, and decide, against yourselves, that ye are not worthy of life eternal, lo, we turn ourselves to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)

47 Ndavule umutwa atuvulile, pano iiti, “Nivaviikile umwe hwene lumuli kuvanhu avapanji, ulwakuuti mulute uvuvaangi kumbale sooni isa iisi.”

For so hath our Lord commanded us; as it is written: I have set thee a light to the Gentiles; that thou shouldst be for life unto the ends of the earth.

48 Avapanji yevapulike ili, valyahovwike nakulighinia ilisio lya Mutwa. Vinga vano alyasalulivue kuvwumi uvwajatu valyitike. (aiōnios g166)

And when the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified God. And those believed, who were appointed to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)

49 Ilisio lya Mutwa likakwila iisi jooni.

And the word of the Lord was talked of in all that 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 chiefs of the city, and the opulent women who with them feared God, and set up a persecution against Paul and against Barnabas, and expelled them from their borders.

51 Looli u Paulo nu Barnaba valyakung'unile iling'undi mumaghulu ghavane.

And when they went out, they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and went to the city of Iconium.

52 Pe vakaluta mulikaja ilya Ikonia. Avavulanisivua vakamema ulukelo palikimo Mhepo u Mwimike.

And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Spirit.
