Acts 14

1 In Iconium, they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed.

Chikwasika inako mwa Ikone, Paulusi ni Barnabasi chivenjila hamwina muma Sinagoge a Majuda, vava wambi mumukwa uchita kuti ma Juda ni Magerike vangi vava zumini.

2 But the disbelieving Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers.

Kono ma Juda vasena vavali kukuteka, chiva lyanganisa mihupulo ya va chisi niku letisa kuti vavengele va mwavo.

3 Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

Linu chivekala mo mazuva mangi, Nivawamba cha kukola cha ziho za Simwine, mi chaha vushupi cha linzwi lya chisemo. Mi chachita ichi cha kuzuminina zimakaza ni zikomokisa kuti zichitwe cha mayanza a Paulusi ni Barnabasi.

4 But the multitude of the city was divided. Part sided with the Jews and part with the apostles.

Kono vungi bwa vantu vamwi toropo vava kauhene hakati: vamwi vantu vavali kuzima kuma ma Juda mi vamwi kuva Apositola.

5 When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them,

Mi vonse vasikunze ni ma Juda havavali kulika ku susuweza mihupulo yava yendisi vavo kuti va nyandise niku govola Paulusi ni Barnabasi,

6 they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.

Chiva lemuha mi chivatilila kumi leneñi ya Laikoniya, Lisitira ni Derbe, ni zikiliti zi zimbulukite,

7 There they preached the Good News.

mi uko vavali kuka luta linzwi.

8 At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.

Kwa Listra zuwi mukwame ave kele, kana avali kwina ziho kumatende akwe, avena vuyanga kuzwila mwi vumu liva nyina, asena ava yendi.

9 He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,

Uzu mukwame cha zuwa Paulusi na wamba. Paulusi avamulolelele ahulu mi chavona kuti wina itumelo yaku hozwa,

10 said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” He leaped up and walked.

Linu chawamba kwali che nzwi ikando, “Zimane chamatende ako.” Mi mukwame cha lotoka mwi wulu niku zimbuluka.

11 When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”

Mi chisi hachi vona chava tendi Paulusi, chivanyemuna manzwi avo, chiva wamba muchi Laukosiya, “Vazimu vakeza hansi kwetu muchizimo chavantu.”

12 They called Barnabas “Jupiter”, and Paul “Mercury”, because he was the chief speaker.

Chiva sumpa Banabasi “Zeyuisi” ni Paulusi “Hemesi” kakuti ivali nji muwambi.

13 The priest of Jupiter, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have made a sacrifice along with the multitudes.

Mu Prisita va Zeyusi, we tempele ivena kunze kwe tolopo, chaka leta mapulu ni zingalangala ze mpalisa kumulyango. Iye ni chisi vavali kusaka kuha zitavelo.

14 But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes and sprang into the multitude, crying out,

Linu va apositola, Barnabasi ni Paulusi, havazi zuwa, chivahalula zizwato zavo mi haho vulyo chiva ya mu chisi, nivakavulila cha kuhuwa,

15 “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of the same nature as you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;

mi nivawamba, “Vakwame chinzi hamuchita izi zintu? Naswe tuvantu sina njenwe ni maikuto aswana ni enu. Twaka mi letela makande malotu, akuta kuti muzwe kwezi zintu zisena intuso muvole kwe Ireza yo hala, ya va vumbi iwulu, inkanda, ni mawate mane ni zonse zina mwateni.

16 who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.

Mwinako zakale avazuminine inkanda zonse kuyenda mwi nzila zavo.

17 Yet he did not leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”

Mi nihakuva vulyo, kana avali siyi nikusena vushupi, mwezo avachiti vulotu mi avamihi invula kuzwa kwi wulu niku mi ha inako indotu, kwizuza inkulo zenu cha zilyo ni kusanga.

18 Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a sacrifice to them.

Mane ni cha a manzi Paulusi ni Barnabasi vava woli ku kanisa chisi kuva chitila chitavelo haluzala.

19 But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.

Kono ma Juda vavali kuzwa kwa Antioki ni Ikone chivakeza ni kwiza ku susuweza chisi. Vava govoli Paulusi cha mabwe ni kumu kwitila kunze kwe tolopo, cha kuhupula kuti avafwi.

20 But as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.

Mi va varutwana havavali kuzimene niva muzimbulukite, cha zimana nikwinjila mwi tolopo. Izuva lichilila, chaya kwa Derbe ni Barnabasi.

21 When they had preached the Good News to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,

Havamana ku ruta linzwi mwi toropo ni kutenda varutwana vangi, chivavola kwa Lisitira chikuya kwa Ikone. Mi chikuya kwa Antioki.

22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.

Vava kwete kukoza luhuho lwava zumini ni ku vasusuweza kuzwila havusu mwi tumelo, niva wamba kuti, “Tuswanela kwinjila mwi puso ye Ireza cha manyando mangi.”

23 When they had appointed elders for them in every assembly, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord on whom they had believed.

Hamana kuva ketala vakulwana mwi inkeleke sonze, mi vava lapeli cha kulinyima zilyo, chivava vika muma yanza asimwine uvava zumini kwali.

24 They passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.

Chiva hita inzila ya Pisidiya kwiza kwa Pampiliya.

25 When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.

Hava mana kuwamba linzwi mwa Perga, chiva sezumuka kuya kwa Atilia.

26 From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.

Chiva yenda kwa Antioki cha chisepe, kuvavali kususuwezwe ku chisemo che ireza cha musevezi uvava kuzwa kuku mana.

27 When they had arrived and had gathered the assembly together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.

Hava kasika mwa Antioki ni ku kopanya inkereke hamwina. Chiva kaviha zintu sonse Ireza zava veleki chavo, ni mwaveyalwiri Ireza mulyango we intumelo kuva sihanze.

28 They stayed there with the disciples for a long time.

Chivekala inako inde ni va lutwana.
