Imbombo 14
1 Lulyahumile mun'kate mu Ikonio kuuti u Paulo nu Barnaba valingile palikimo Mun'kate mu nyumba inyimike ija kufunyila kuva Yahudi nakujova ndavule ikupugha ikivaha kuvanhu ava Yahudi nava Yunani valyitike.
At Iconium the Apostles went together to the Jewish synagogue and preached, with the result that a great number both of Jews and Greeks believed.
2 Looli avaYahudi vano navalyapelilue uluhala kuvapanji napikuvavomba kuuti vave vavivi kuvanyalukolo.
But the Jews who had refused obedience stirred up the Gentiles and embittered their minds against the brethren.
3 Pa uluo valikalile ukuo kunsiki untali, vakajovagha kulukangasio kungbufu sa Mutwa, ukuo alyahumisie ulusimilisio ku mola isa vumosi vwa mwene. Alyavombile anala kuhumia ifidegho na kudegha fivombue kumavoko agha Paulo nu Barnaba.
Yet Paul and Barnabas remained there for a considerable time, speaking freely and relying on the Lord, while He bore witness to the Message of His grace by permitting signs and marvels to be done by them.
4 Looli ikisala ikya likaja lilyaghavike: vamo avanhu vano valyale palikimo nava Yahudi, navamo palikimo navasung'wa.
At length the people of the city split into parties, some siding with the Jews and some with the Apostles.
5 Unsiki ghuno ava panji navaYahudi ye vaghelile kukuvavula avalongosi vavanave kuvavombela uvuvivi nakavadija namavue uPaulo nu Barnaba,
And when a hostile movement was made by both Gentiles and Jews, with the sanction of their magistrates, to maltreat and stone them,
6 valyakagwile ilio nakuluta ku makaja agha Likaonia, Listra naku Derbe, na kufisala fino fisyungwite Pala,
the Apostles, having become aware of it, made their escape into the Lycaonian towns of Lystra and Derbe, and the neighbouring country.
7 pe ukuo vakadalikilagha ilivangili.
And there they continued to tell the Good News.
8 Ukuku Listra palyale umunhu jumo juno alikalile, nakale nini ngufu mu maghulu gha mwene, umulema kuhuma mulileme lya mama ghwa mwene, naghelile kughenda.
Now a man who had no power in his feet used to sit in the streets of Lystra. He had been lame from his birth and had never walked.
9 Umunhu uju alyam'pulike u Paulo ijova. U Paulo akamulunguvalila amaso pe akalolagha kuuti ulwitiko ulwa kusosivua.
After this man had listened to one of Paul's sermons, the Apostle, looking steadily at him and perceiving that he had faith to be cured,
10 Pa uluo pe akajova kwa mwene kulisio lya kukyanya, “Imagha kumaghulu ghako.” Pe umunhu jula alyaahadwike na kutengula kughenda.
said in a loud voice, "Stand upright upon your feet!"
11 Ikipugha ye kilolile kino alyavombile u Paulo, vakamula amasio ghavanave, vakajova ni njovele ija Kilikaonio, “Amatekelo ghatukenyemwisie kulyusue twe vanhu.”
So he sprang up and began to walk about. Then the crowds, seeing what Paul had done, rent the air with their shouts in the Lycaonian language, saying, "The gods have assumed human form and have come down to us."
12 Valyan'kemelile u Barnaba “Zeus,” nu Paulo, “Herme” ulwa kuuti alyale njovaji m'baha.
They called Barnabas 'Zeus,' and Paul, as being the principal speaker, 'Hermes.'
13 Amatekelo agha Zeu, juno inyumba imbaha inyimike ija kufunyila jamwene jilyale kunji kukisina, alyaletile ulutogo ulwa ng'ombe ulukindi lwa maluva ghano gha tavilkilue kufika palilyango lya likaja, umwene ni kipugha vakalondagha kuhumia ilitekelo.
And the priest of Zeus--the temple of Zeus being at the entrance to the city--brought bullocks and garlands to the gates, and in company with the crowd was intending to offer sacrifices to them.
14 Looli avasung'ua, u Paulo nu Barnaba yevapulike iili, valyademwile Amanda ghava nave kange ng'anang'ani vakaluta kunji kikipugha, vakalilagha
But the Apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it; and tearing their clothes they rushed out into the middle of the crowd, exclaiming, "Sirs, why are you doing all this?
15 na kujova, “Mwe vanhu umue, nakiki muvomba agha? Najusue kange tulivanhu vano uluhala lulindavule umue. Tukuvaletela imola inofu kuuti musyetuke kuhuma mufinu ifi finofilondua nakumulutila u Nguluve juno mwumi, juno alyavumbile uvulanga, iisi ni nyanja nakyekyoni kila kino mwekile.
We also are but men, with natures kindred to your own; and we bring you the Good News that you are to turn from these unreal things, to worship the ever-living God, the Creator of earth and sky and sea and of everything that is in them.
16 Munsiki ghuno ghukakilile, alyavatavwile ava panji kughenda musila sivanave.
In times gone by He allowed all the nations to go their own ways;
17 Looli ye akiale, nakabukile nambe nu mwolesi, ku ilio akavombile vunofu nakukuvapela ifula kuhuma kukyanya kange mumasiki gha kyakulia, akavamemia inumbula sivanave kufya kulia nulukelo”
and yet by His beneficence He has not left His existence unattested--His beneficence, I mean, in sending you rain from Heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and joyfulness."
18 Nambe amasio agha, u Paulo nu Barnaba kulupumuko valyasighile ikipugha kuvahumikisia ilitekelo.
Even with words like these they had difficulty in preventing the thronging crowd from offering sacrifices to them.
19 Looli vamo ava Yahudi kuhuma ku Antiokia na ku Ikonio valisile kukukivula ikipugha. Van'kadija navavue u Paulo na kukunkwesela kuunji kukisina, ye vakati afuile.
But now a party of Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and, having won over the crowd, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the town, believing him to be dead.
20 Mu uluo avavulanisivua vakimagha pipi nu mwene, alyasimwike, vakingila kukisina. Ikighono kya vuvili akaluta mu Derbe nu Barnaba.
When, however, the disciples had collected round him, he rose and went back into the town. The next day he went with Barnabas to Derbe;
21 Ye ikuvavulanisia ilivangili mu kisina kiila nakuvavomba avavulanisivua vinga, vakagomoka ku Listra, naku Ikoniamu, umpaka ku Antiokia.
and, after proclaiming the Good News to the people there and gaining a large number of converts, they retraced their steps to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch.
22 Valyaghendelela kunosia uluvelouluvelo ulya vavulanisivua nakupelua inumbula kughendelela mumu lwitiko, akati, “Lunoghile twingile kuva tua va Nguluve kuhumila imumuko nyinga.”
Everywhere they strengthened the disciples by encouraging them to hold fast to the faith, and warned them saying, "It is through many afflictions that we must make our way into the Kingdom of God."
23 Ye vavasalyule Avene avaghogholo ava kipugha kya vitiki, ye vavavikufunya kisila kulia, vakampela u Mutwa, sino avene valyamwitike.
And in every Church, after prayer and fasting, they selected Elders by show of hands, and commended them to the Lord on whom their faith rested.
24 Kange valyahumile ku Pisidia, valyafike ku Pamfilia.
Then passing through Pisidia they came into Pamphylia;
25 Unsiki ghuno valyajovile amasio agha ku Purge, Valikile kuluta ku Atalia.
and after telling the Message at Perga they came down to Attaleia.
26 Kuhuma ukuo valyapandile imeli kufika ku Antiokia kunokuno valyale vihumisie kulusungu kwa Nguluve vwimila vwa mbombo jiino lino vakajikwisisie.
Thence they sailed to Antioch, where they had previously been commended to the grace of God in connexion with the work which they had now completed.
27 Ye vafikile ukuo ku Antiokia, na kukong'ania ikipugha palikimo, valyahumisie imola ja agha ghano u Nguluve avambile ku vanave, kange ye avafungulile umulyango kulwitiko lwa vanhu avapanji.
Upon their arrival they called the Church together and proceeded to report in detail all that God, working with them, had done, and how He had opened for the Gentiles the door of faith.
28 Valikalile unsiki n'tali navavulanisivua.
And they remained a considerable time in Antioch with the disciples.
