Acts 11
1 Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
Lino batumwa ababunyina bakali mu Judiya nebakamvwa milumbe yakuti bamaasi batambula ijwi lya-Leza abalabo.
2 When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,
Pita nakasika muchisi cha-Jelusalema, inkamu yabapalwidwe yakamupa mulandu.
3 saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!”
Yakamwambila kuti, “Walivwelengania akulya abantu batapalwiidwe!”
4 But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,
Pesi Pita wakabalungulwida mubunikide, “Kuti,
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.
ndalikukomba mudolopo lya-Jopa, mpawo ndatondezegwa chilengano chachibikkilo kachiseluka aansi, mbuli mulembo uzwa kujulu ulampeto zyoone. Wakaselukila kulindime.
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.
Ndakawulangisisya, Mpawo ndayeyesya aatala anguwo. Ndakabona banyama balamawulu oone baansi, banyama bamusokwe, bayavula ansi, abayuni bawuluka bakujulu.
7 I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’
Mpawo ndakamvwa ijwi kaliti nyampuka, Pita jaya mpawo ulye!
8 But I said, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’
Ndakati, “tachelede pe, Mwami, tachiwope chisofwede kana chitasalali chakali chanjila mumulomo wangu.”
9 But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, don’t you call unclean.’
Pesi ijwi lyakavuwa lubo kuzwa kujulu, kaliti, eecho Leza nchasalazya, toyelede kuchaamba kuti chilisofwede;
10 This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
Eechi chakachitika tutatu mpawo zyoonse zyakabwedezegwa kujulu lubo.
11 Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
Mpawo aawo kwakali balumi botatwe bakiimvwi an'anda mputwakiimvwi, Bakatumwa kuzwa ku Sizaliya kabaza kulindime.
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.
Muuya wakandilayilila kuti yiinka ambabo, mpo nsyelede kulisiyanisya pe ambabo. Aba bakwesu balimusanu awumwi bakeenda andime, mpawo twakanjila munganda ya umwi mwalumi.
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,
Wakatwambila mbakabona mungelo uyimvwi mukati kanganda yakwe mpawo kalokuti, “Tuma balumi ku Jopa mukaze a Sayimoni utegwa Pita.
14 who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’
Uzokwambila makani ayo aazochitya kuti iwe abanganda yako mufutulwe.
15 As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.
Nindakatalika kwambulaabo, Muuya Uusalala wakaselukila alimbabo, mbubonya mbuli mbuwakachita alindiswe kumatalikilo.
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.’
Ndakayeeya majwi a Mwami, mbuli mbaakamba, Joni nchobeni wakababbabbatizya a meenda Pesi nywe ndamubbabbatizya a Muuya Uusalala.
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?”
Aboobo na kakuli Leza wakabapa zipo mbubonya mbakapa ndiswe awo nitwakasyoma ku Mwami Jesu Kkilisito Ndakalini mpundanda kayinokazyania a Leza?
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!”
Nibakamvwa zintu, eezi, takwe nchibakakonzya kwamba nikuba nsandulo, pesi bakalumbaizya Leza bati, “Leza wabapa buumi bwakusanduka kwabamaasi aabazwakule.”
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.
Lino bakamwayikide nkambo kamakatazyo akabukila akambo kazyakali zyachitika kule mbuliku Fonesiya, Sayipulasi aku-Antiyokki kabayo bukambawukila ba-Juda.
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.
Pesi bamwi babo, balumi baku Sipulasi a Sayilini bakasika ku Antikkeya bakambawukila aba Giliki, kababambila makani mabotu aatala amwami Jesu.
21 The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
Akuboko kwa-Leza kwakalambabo; makamu makamu abantu akasyoma akuza ku-Mwami.
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,
Impuwo ataala ambaabo zyakasika kumatwi ambungano mu-Jelusalema, mpawo bakatumwa Bbanabbasi kuyosika ku - Antiyokkiya.
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.
Nakasika wakabona luzyalo lwa-Leza, wakabotelwa alubo akubasungwazya boonse kuti bayiime mu-Mwami amyoyo yabo yoonse
24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.
Nkambo kakuti wakali mwalumi ululeme uzwide Muuya Uusalala alubo kalalusyomo abantu biingi bakayungizigwa ku-Mwami.
25 Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.
Mpawo Bbanabbasi wakaya ku Tasasi kukuyandula Sawulo,
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.
Nakakumujana, wakamubozya ku Antiyokku. Zyakachita obo kwamunyaka wonse bakali kubungana amwi ambungano akuyisya bantu biingi. Basikwiya mpobakatalikila kwambwa kuti mbaKkilisito.
27 Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
Lino muli ayo mazubabamwi basinsiimi bakakunuka kabazwa ku-Jelusalema kabaya ku Antiyokku.
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.
Umwi wabo, utegwa Agabbasi, wakimikila kali watondezegwa a Muuya Uusalala kuti kuzoba nzala mpati anyika yoonse. Eechi chakachitika kumazuba a Kkilawudiyasi.
29 As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;
Nkabela basikwiiya, umwi awumwi mbuli mbakakonzya kupa, bakatumizya banyiina baku Judiya.
30 which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
Bakachita oobu, bakatumizya mali kubazululi bambungano kwindilila mumanza a Bbanabbasi a Sawulo.
