Imbombo 15

1 Avanhu vango vakika kuhuma ku Yahudi na kukuvavulanisia avanyalukolo, vakaati, “nambe namukeketivue ndavule ulwiho ulwa Musa, namughwesia kuvanguka.”

And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except all of you be circumcised after the manner of Moses, all of you cannot be saved.

2 Unsiki u Paulo nu Barnaba ye vakale vatang'ine na kujova palikimo navene, avanyalukolo valyamwile kuuti Paulo, Barnaba, navange vamo valute ku Yerusalemu ku vasung'wa avaghogholo kuposia iili.

When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.

3 Ku iili, kukwomola kuvanave kunyumba inyimike ijakufunyila valyahumile ku Foinike na ku Samaria yeye vipulisia kusyetula uvufumbue kuva panji. Valyaletile ulukelo ulukome kuvanyalukolo vooni,

And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.

4 Ye visile ku Yerusalemu pe vakapokelilue nii nyumba inyimike ijakufunyila kange navasung'wa na vaghogholo, vakavafunyila imola inofu ku isi sooni sino u Nguluve avombile palikimo na Vene.

And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church, and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.

5 Looli avanhu vamovamo vano valitike, valyale mukipugha ikya Mafarisayo, valyimile nakujova, “lunoghile kukuvakeka na pikuvavula vakole ululaghilo ulwa Musa.”

But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.

6 Pe avasung'wa navaghogholo vakima palikimo kukulisaghila iili.

And the apostles and elders came together in order to consider of this matter. (logos)

7 Ye sikilile imuling'ano inali, u Petro akima nakujova kuvanave, “Avanyalukolo vitang'aniaghe kuuti kitambuko kinono kiino kikilile u Nguluve akavombile uvusaluli pakate palyusue, kuuti mulomo ghwango avapanji vapulikaghe ilisio lya livangili, na pikulyitika.

And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, all of you know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word (logos) of the gospel, and believe.

8 U Nguluve juno ikagula inumbula, ikwolela kuvanave, ikuvapela u Mhepo u Mwimike, ndavule alyavombile kulyusue;

And God, which knows the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) even as he did unto us;

9 nalyavombile nambe kulyuseu na vene, ye ivomba munumbula sivanave sive nofu kulwitiko.

And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

10 Ku uluo, nakiki mukumughela u Nguluve kuuti muvike ulughoji ku singo isa vavulanisivua sino nambe u Nhata ghuitu kange natughwesia kukangala?

Now therefore why tempt all of you God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

11 Looli tukwitika kuuti tupokua ku vumosi ulwa Mutwa Yesu ndavule valyale.”

But we believe that through the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

12 Ikipugha kyoni kikajika kimie ye vikupulikisia u Barnaba nu Paulo ye vakale vihumia imola isa kidegho na kudegha jino u Nguluve alyavombile palikimo navene ku vapanji.

Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.

13 Ye vabuhilile kujova, u Jakobo akamula akati, “Nyalukolo nipulikisie.

And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me:

14 U Simoni alyajovile ulwakwanda kuuti u Nguluve kuvamosi alyavatangile avapanji kuuti apelilue kuhuma kuvanave ku vanhu ku litavua lya mwene.

Simeon has declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.

15 Amasio agha vaviili ghi kwiting'ana niili ndavule lyalembilue.

And to this agree the words (logos) of the prophets; as it is written,

16 'Pa uluo niligomoka kange kunosia ili tembe lya Daudi, linolilyaghuile pasi, ninyanyula na kunosia uvunangifu vwamwene,

After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:

17 kange bahapuo avanhu vano vakajighe vamulonde u Mutwa, palikimo navapanji vano vitambulua kulitavua uyango.'

That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, says the Lord, who does all these things.

18 Ifi fyefino ajovagha u Mutwa juno avombile agha gha kukagulika kuhuma ku vutua uvwakatali. (aiōn g165)

Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. (aiōn g165)

19 Kange, amasaghe ghango, natungavapelaghe imumuko avanhu avapanji vano vikunsyetukila u Nguluve;

Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:

20 looli tulembe kuvanave kuuti vibaghule kutali nu vunangifu uvwa sanamu, uvunoghelua uvwa vavwafu, nafino filya kngilue, ni danda.

But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

21 Kuhuma kisina ikya vaghogholo pevale avanhu mulikaja vano vidalikila na kukumulumba u Musa mumajumba aghakufunyila ku sabati.”

For Moses of old time has in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.

22 Pa uluo lukavonike kuuti luvanoghile avasung'ua nava ghogholo, Palikimo ni nyumba jooni inyimike ijakufunyila, kukunsalula u Yuda juno itambulua Barsaba, nu Silas, vano valyale valongosi munyumba inyimike ijakufunyila, na kukuvomola ku Antiokia palikimo nu Paulo nu Barnaba.

Then pleased it the apostles and elders with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Judas surnamed Barsabas and Silas, chief men among the brethren:

23 Valyalembile anala, “Vasung'ua, vaghogholo navanyalukolo, kuva nyalukolo avapanji vano vali ku Antiokia, ku Shamus na ku Kilikia, salamu.

And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia.

24 Tupulike kuuti avanhu avange vano tukavapelile ilulaghilo uluo, valyahumile kulyusue pe vakavapumusia avavulanesi vano vileta imumuko muluvelo kuvanave.

Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, (logos) subverting your souls, saying, All of you must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:

25 Mu uluo luvonike vunofu kulyiusue tweeni kusalula avanhu na pikuvomola kulyumue palikimo navaghani viitu u Barnaba nu Paulo,

It seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men unto you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

26 avanhu vano vakivikile mu vulalamu ulwa mikalile ghavanave vwimila vwa litavua lya Mutwa Yesu Kilisite.

Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

27 Ku uluo tumwomwile u Yuda nu Sila, vikuvavulagha sisisio.

We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who shall also tell you the same things by mouth. (logos)

28 Ulwakuva lukavonike vunofu kwa Mhepo Mwimike na kulyusue, kuleka kuviika kulyumue unsigho un'kome kukila isio sino nasakusileka:

For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;

29 kuuti musyetuke kuhuma kufinu fino fitavula kufi hwani, i danda, ifiinu fya kunyongua, nu vu vwafu. Nave mukuvika kutali nifi, luve lunofu kulyumue. Mukaghone.”

That all of you abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if all of you keep yourselves, all of you shall do well. Fare all of you well.

30 Apuo lino, ndavule vakavapalasinie, valikile ku Antiokia; Ye vakong'anisie ilipugha palikimo, valyafikisie ikalata.

So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had gathered the multitude together, they delivered the epistle:

31 Pano vakati vajimbile, valyahovwike ulwakuva jilyavisisie umwojo.

Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.

32 U yuda nu Sila, na vaviili valyavisisie umwojo avanyalukolo namasio aminga na pikuvapela ingufu.

And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, (logos) and confirmed them.

33 Ye vikalile unsiki ghumonga ukuo, valyavapalasinie nulutengano kuhuma kuva nyalukolo vala vano valyavomwile.

And after they had tarried there a space, they were let go in peace from the brethren unto the apostles.

34 [Looli lulyavonike kuva lunofu uSila kujigha ukuo]

Notwithstanding it pleased Silas to abide there still.

35 Looli u Paulo navange valikalile ku Antiokia palikimo na vange vinga, pano vakavulanisiagha na kudalikila ilisio lya Mutwa.

Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word (logos) of the Lord, with many others also.

36 Ye fikilile ifighono nde filingi u Paulo akajova kwa Barnaba, “Tugomoke lino na pikuvaghendela avanyalukolo mufikaja fyooni fino tukadalikile ilisio lya Mutwa, napikuvalola valindani.

And some days after Paul said unto Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren in every city where we have preached the word (logos) of the LORD, and see how they do.

37 U Barnaba akalondagha kange pikuntola palikimo navoope U Yohana junojuno itambulivua Marko.

And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.

38 Looli u Paulo alyasaghile nalulyale lunofu kukun'tola u Marko, akavalekile kulam ku Pamfilia nalyaghendelile navope mumbombo.

But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.

39 Kange bahapuo sikahumila isakukaning'ana imbaha pa uluo vakalekeng'ana, naju Barnaba akan'tola u Marko nakughenda mu Meli kufika ku Kpro,

And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;

40 Looli u Paulo akansalula u Sila na kuvuka, ye vamalile kuvikua navanyalukolo mu lusungu lwa Mutwa.

And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.

41 Pe akaluta kukilila ku Shamus na ku Kilikia, akasikangasiagha ing'ongano.

And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
