Acts 13
1 Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
Mu msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu va ku Antiokia kwavili na vandu vangi vevavi vamlota va Chapanga na vawula, pagati yavi vavi Banaba na Sauli na Simioni mweikemiwa mtitu, Lukio wa Kulene, Manaeni mwealeliwi pamonga na Nkosi Helodi.
2 As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them.”
Pavamuyupayi Bambu na kujihinisa chakulya, Mpungu Msopi akavajovela, “Mnihagulila Banaba na Sauli ndava ya lihengu lenivakemelili.”
3 Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
Hinu vakajihinisa chakulya neju na kumuyupa Chapanga, vakavapamisa mawoko panani yavi vakavatuma vahamba.
4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.
Hinu, Mpungu Msopi peamali kuvatuma Banaba na Sauli, vakahelela mbaka Seleukia na kuhuma kwenuko vakayingila muwatu mbaka kukisiwa cha Kuplo.
5 When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed God’s word in the Jewish synagogues. They also had John as their attendant.
Pavahikili ku Salami vakakokosa Lilovi la Chapanga munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi. Yohani Maluko avi mtangatila wavi.
6 When they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar Jesus,
Vagendili kuhuma upandi umonga na kuhamba upandi wungi wa kisiwa na kuhika Pafo, vamkolili mundu mmonga Myawudi mhavi liina laki Bal yesu mlota wa udese.
7 who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.
Mwenuyo avi pamonga na Seligio Pauli, mkulu wa kisiwa chila avi mundu wa luhala neju. Selgio Pauli avakemili Banaba na Sauli muni ayuwana Lilovi la Chapanga.
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
Nambu mhavi yula Bal yesu mweikemelewa Elima kwa Chigiliki, alingili kuvabelelela muni kumbesa mkulu wa kisiwa chila akotoka kusadika sadika ya Chikilisitu.
9 But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him
Hinu Sauli mweikemiwa mewa Pauli, kuni amemisiwi Mpungu Msopi, akamlolokesa takataka mhavi yula,
10 and said, “You son of the devil, full of all deceit and all cunning, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
na kujova, “Veve wamwana wa Setani, likoko wa kila chindu chechimganisa Chapanga, mweumemili uhakau na udese. Nakuleka hati padebe kubudisa uchakaka wa njila selede za Bambu!
11 Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season!” Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
Hinu, chiwoko cha Bambu yati chikubuna, yati wivya ngalola nakuhotola kulola lilanga mulukumbi.” Bahapo Elima chitita chikayingila mumihu gaki hati gakakoyoko, hati akatumbula kupamisa kuni na kuni, kulonda mundu wa kumkamula chiwoko amulongosa.
12 Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
Mkulu wa kisiwa yula peagawene mambu gala, akasadika, akakangasa neju ndava ya mawuliwu gakumvala Bambu.
13 Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
Kangi Pauli na vayaki vakawuka Pafo, vakayingila muwatu na kuhamba kumuji wa Peliga mulima wa Pamfulia. Nambu Yohani Maluko avalekili na kuwuya ku Yelusalemu.
14 But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.
Nambu vene vayendalili na lugendu kuhuma Peliga mbaka pamuji wa Antiokia ya Pisidia. Ligono la Kupumulila vakayingila munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi na kutama pahi.
15 After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak.”
Pevamali kusoma muchitabu cha malagizu ga Bambu geampeli Musa na Mayandiku ga Vamlota va Chapanga, vala vachilongosi va nyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi yila vavatumili ujumbi uwu, “Valongo ngati kuvi na malovi ga kuvakangamalisa mitima vandu ava mujova.”
16 Paul stood up, and gesturing with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.
Ndi Pauli akayima na kuvapungila chiwoko na kutumbula kuvajovela, “Vakolonjinji va Isilaeli na voha mwemumtopesa Chapanga, muniyuwanila!
17 The God of this people chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as aliens in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it.
Chapanga wa mulima uwu wa Isilaeli avahagwili vagogo vitu, akavakita vandu va kuvya mulima uvaha pavatamayi kuuyehe ku Misili. Kangi akavawusa kwenuko kwa makakala gaki.
18 For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.
Akasindimala nawu mulukumbi lwa miyaka alobaini kulugangatu kula.
19 When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land for an inheritance for about four hundred fifty years.
Akagakomekesa makabila saba ga mulima wa Kanani ndi akavapela mulima wenuwo vandu avo kuvya uhali wavi.
20 After these things, he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.
Mambu ago gahengiki kwa lukumbi lwa miyaka miya mcheche na hamsini.” “Kangi akavapela vahamula mihalu vavalongosa mbaka magono ga mlota wa Chapanga Samueli.
21 Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
Chechagelekili ndi vakamyupa nkosi, ndi Chapanga akavapela Sauli mwana wa Kishi wa lukolo lwa Benjamini, akalongosa mulukumbi lwa miyaka alobaini.
22 When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’
Peamuwusili Sauli, Chapanga akamhagula Daudi avya nkosi wavi. Chapanga mwene akavajovela hotohoto, nimhagwili Daudi mwana wa Yese, ndava muni mundu mweakuniganisa. Mwenuyo ndi mweihenga mambu goha genikugagana.
23 From this man’s offspring, God has brought salvation to Israel according to his promise,
Kuhuma mu chiveleku cha mundu mwenuyo, Chapanga ngati cheavalagizi vandu va Isilaeli kuvapelekela Msangula ndi Yesu.
24 before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to Israel.
Yesu peavi akona kutumbula lihengu laki, Yohani amlongolili na kuvakokosela vandu voha va Isilaeli kuvya yikuvagana vamuwuyila Chapanga na kubatiziwa.
25 As John was fulfilling his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, one comes after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’
Yohani peavi mukumala ujumbi waki avajovili vandu, Mwiholela nene ndi yani? Mwemkumlindila lepi nene. Nambu yuwanila! Mweibwela mumbela yangu, nene nakuganikiwa hati kuwopola nyosi za champali zaki!”
26 “Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to you.
“Valongo vangu, nyenye chiveleku cha Ibulahimu, na vangi voha mwemkumtopesa Chapanga! Ujumbi uwu wa usangula uletiwi kwitu!
27 For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they didn’t know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.
Muni vakolonjinji va Yelusalemu na vakulu vavi vammanyili lepi Yesu kuvya Msangula, katu nakugamanya malovi ga vamlota va Chapanga gegasomewa kila Ligono la Kupumulila. Pamonga na ago vakagatimilisi kwa kumkoma Yesu lifwa.
28 Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
Pamonga na avi lepi na yeyikumgana akomiwa, vamyupili Pilatu amhukumwa lifwa.
29 When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.
Na pevamali kuhenga goha gegayandikiwi kumvala Yesu, vakamuhulusa kuhuma mu msalaba, vakamvika mu litinda la mbugu.
30 But God raised him from the dead,
Nambu Chapanga amuyukisi kwevafwili.
31 and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.
Mwene kwa magono gamahele, avahumalili vealongosini nawu kuhuma ku Galilaya mbaka ku Yelusalemu. Venavo ndi hinu vandu vevakujovela vandu va Isilaeli mambu ga Yesu.
32 We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,
Hinu tete tikuvakokosela nyenye Lilovi la Bwina, lenilo ndi lilaganu kwa vagogo vitu,
33 that God has fulfilled this to us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, ‘You are my Son. Today I have become your father.’
Chapanga ahengili lilaganu lenilo ndava yitu tete chiveleku chavi kwa kumyukisa Yesu, ngati cheyiyandikiwi Muzabuli ya pili, ‘Veve ndi Wamwana vangu na nene lelu na Dadi waku.’
34 “Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.’
Na ndava ya kumyukisa kwevafwili, nakuwuya kavili kwenuko ndi awolili lepi. Chapanga ajovili, ‘Yati nikupela mota ya usopi na uchakaka zezanamlagazili Daudi.’
35 Therefore he says also in another psalm, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’
Hinu wijova mu mayandiku gangi ga Zabuli, ‘Umleka lepi Msopi waku awola.’
36 For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, was laid with his fathers, and saw decay.
Daudi mwene ahengili geigana Chapanga mulukumbi lwaki, na kangi afwili na kuvikiwa mu litinda la mbugu papipi na vagogo vaki, na higa yaki yawolili.
37 But he whom God raised up saw no decay.
Nambu yula mweayukiswi na Chapanga kwa vafwili awolili lepi.
38 Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins;
Ndava muni valongo vitu tigana nyenye mumanya chakaka kuvya munjila ya Yesu, ujumbi wa kulekekesewa kumbudila Chapanga ukokoswa kwinu,
39 and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
mundu yoyoha mweamsadika mwene ndi ilekekesewa kumbudila Chapanga kwoha, lijambu langahotoleka ndava ya kulanda Malagizu ga Bambu geampeli Musa.
40 Beware therefore, lest that come on you which is spoken in the prophets:
Mujiyangalila, gegajoviwi na vamlota va Chapanga gala gakotoka kuvakolela,
41 ‘Behold, you scoffers! Wonder and perish, for I work a work in your days, a work which you will in no way believe, if one declares it to you.’”
‘Myuwanila, nyenye mwemuvi na likomo, mkangasayi na mfwayi! Muni chindu chenihenga hinu, mulusenje lwinu, yati musadika lepi hati ngati mundu avajovoli.’”
42 So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.
Pauli na Banaba pavawukili munyumba ya kuyupila Chapanga mula, vandu vala vakavagongolela vabwela Ligono la Kupumulila leligelekela, vavakangamalisa mambu gala.
43 Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
Mngonganu wula pawamaliki Vayawudi vamahele na vandu vangali Vayawudi vevayingili njila ya kumuyupa Chapanga ya Vayawudi ndi vakavalanda Pauli na Banaba. Vene vakalongela nawu na kuvakangamalisa mitima vayendelela kutama kwa kuhuvalila ubwina wa Chapanga.
44 The next Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.
Ligono la Kupumulila lila lelagelekili kila mundu pamuji wula abwelili kuyuwanila Lilovi la Bambu.
45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.
Nambu Vayawudi pavawaweni vandu vamahele vakamema wihu, vakagabela malovi gaajovayi Pauli na vakamliga.
46 Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, “It was necessary that God’s word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from yourselves, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
Pauli na Banaba vakalongela kwa ukekesi neju, “Yaganikiwi Lilovi la Chapanga litumbula kuvahikila hoti nyenye, nambu ndava mulibelili na kuvya nakuhotola kupokela wumi wa magono goha, hinu tikuvaleka na kuvahambila vandu vangali Vayawudi. (aiōnios g166)
47 For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, ‘I have set you as a light for the Gentiles, that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.’”
Muni Bambu atilagazili aga, ‘Nikuviki lumuli lwa vandu va pamulima, muni vandu voha vasanguliwa pamilima yoha.’”
48 As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of God. As many as were appointed to eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)
Vandu vangali Vayawudi pevayuwini lijambu lila vakavya na luheku, vakaulumbalila ujumbi wa Bambu na vevahaguliwi vala kupewa na wumi wa magono goha wangali mwishu, vakavya vamsadika. (aiōnios g166)
49 The Lord’s word was spread abroad throughout all the region.
Lilovi la Bambu ladandasiki kila pandu pamulima.
50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders.
Nambu Vayawudi vakavakulukisa vadala vangali Vayawudi vevitopeswa vevakumuyupa Chapanga na vagosi vevimanyikana wa muji wula. Vakatumbula kuvang'aha Pauli na Banaba, vakavavinga vahuma pamuji wavi.
51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
Hinu vamitumi vala vakakung'unda lububu mumagendelu gavi kulangisa vabeli Lilovi la Bambu na vakahamba ku Ikonio.
52 The disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
Na vamsadika va ku Antiokia, ndi vamemiswi luheku na Mpungu Msopi.
