Acts 11
1 Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
Linu bapositola niba mwabo ba bena mwa Judeya chibazuwa kuti ba Sikunze chibatambula inzwi lye Ireeza.
2 When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,
Linu Pitrosi hakeza kwa Jerusalema, abo bena muchikwata chamupato chiba munyansa;
3 saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!”
Chibati. “Ubali kopanyi ni bakwame basena mupato ni kulya nabo!”
4 But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,
Kono Pitrosi chatanga kubatolokela chakwizula; 'chati,
5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.
Nibali kulapela mu muleneñi wa Joppa, imi chinaba ni pono yachintu chikeza hansi, sina isila ikando likeza hansi kuzwa kwiwulu lina tukokolwa tonee. Chichakeza kwangu.
6 When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky.
China chilolisisa ni kuchizezisisa. Chinabona zinyolozi za matende onne zamu inkanda, zibatana, ziyendisa mabumo, ni zizuni za mwiwulu.
7 I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’
Linu china zuwa inzwi liwamba kwangu, “zimane, Pitrosi; wihaye mi ulye!”
8 But I said, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’
Chinati, “nee; Nanta kanjobulyo, Simwine: kakwina chintu chisachenete kapa china chive chisenjili mukaholo kangu.”
9 But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, do not you call unclean.’
Kono izwi chilyetaba kuzwilila kwiwulu, “Chalukulula Ireeza chijolola sanzi ucho kuti chinekwe.”
10 This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
Izi zibatendahali totatwe, imi linu zintu zonse chizabozwa kwiwulu hape.
11 Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
Kamulole, hahanu kwina bakwame botatwe bazimene habusu bwe zubo hatwina; ba bakatumitwe kwa Caesarea kwiza kwangu.
12 The Spirit told me to go with them without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house.
Luhuho Lujolola lwanilaela kuti ni yende nabo, imi sanzi niloli kutibenabule. Aba bakwame balikana iyanza niyenke babayendi name, imi tubayendi ni kwinjila muzubo yamukwame.
13 He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa and get Simon, who is called Peter,
Chatuwambila mwababoneni Iñeloyi ha tuwambila mwaba boneni iñiloi ni lizimene munzubo yakwe ni kucho, “Tumine bakwame kwa Joppa imi mukaboze Simone yo supwa Pitrosi.
14 who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’
Mwa wambe kwenu lizwi lyete limihaze - Iwe ni bezubo yako bonse.
15 As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.
Hani tanga kuwamba kubali, Luhuho Lunjolola chilwasukila kubali, sina njikwetu lwetanzi.
16 I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.’
Nibazezi mazwi a Simwine, mwaba wambili, “Joani chabusakusima abakukolobeza chamenzi; kono inwe muswanela kukolobezwa cho Luhuho Lunjolola.”
17 If then God gave to them the same gift as us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?”
Linu haiba Ireeza ababahi impo ziswana ni zetu hatuzumina kwa Simwine Jesu Kreste, njemeni, kuti ni kangisane ni Ireeza?”
18 When they heard these things, they held their peace and glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life!”
Habamana kuzuwa izi zintu, kakwina chibaba wambi kulitabilila, Kono ba balumbeki Ireeza ni kuchokuti, “Imi Ireeza abahibulyo inswalelo ya buhalo kubalichaba nabo.”
19 They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.
Linu babo babahasani bakeñi cha masukuluka abezi chebaka lyefu lya Sitefani, libahasani mane kutwala kwa Fonisiya, Sipera, ni Antioke, kono chibakutaza linzwi lya Jesu feela ku Majuda.
20 But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.
Kono bamwi kubali, bakwame bakwa Sipera, ni Sirene, chibeza kwa Antioke, imi chibawamba bulyo ni ku Magerike, ni ku bawambila mazwi malotu kuamna ni Simwine Jesu.
21 The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
Imi iyanza lya Simwine libena nabo; bungi bwabo bubazumini ni kubola kwa Simwine.
22 The report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem. They sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch,
Iñusa kuamana nabo chilyeza mumatwi ye Kereke ya mwa Jerusalema: imi chibatuma Barnabasi kuyenda kule kwa Antioke.
23 who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.
Hakeza ni kwiza kubona impoo ye Ireeza, aba sangi; imi chaba susuweza bonse kwikala ni Simwine chenkulo zabo zonse.
24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.
Imi abali mukwame yabena sinte wizwile Luhuho Lunjolola ni tumelo, imi bungi bwabantu baba ekezehi kwiza kwa Simwine.
25 Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.
Barnabasi linu chayenda kwa Tarese, ku kasaka Saule.
26 When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
Hamuwana, cha muleta kwa Antioke. Chikweza kubakuti, mwaaka onse chibali kunganya hamwina ne Kereke hamwina ni kuluta bungi bwabantu. Balutwana babakusumpwa Makereste lwetazi mwa Antioke.
27 Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
Linu mwa anu mazuva bamwi bapolofita chiba sezumukila kwa Jerusalema kwa Antioke.
28 One of them named Agabus stood up and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.
Umwina kubali, Agabusi, chezina chazima ni kupolofita cha Luhuho kuti inzala inkando mwi ikanda yonse. Izi ziba kutendahala mumazuba a Klaudiya.
29 As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;
Njokuti, balutwana, sina zumwi ni zumwi habakuwola, chahupula kutumina intuso kubamwakwe mwa Judeya.
30 which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
Babatendi bulyo, baba tumini mashelenyi kuba kulwana bakeleke chamanza a Barnabasi ni Saule.
