Acts 15
1 Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you can’t be saved.”
Anthu ena ochokera ku Yudeya anafika ku Antiokeya ndipo amaphunzitsa abale kuti, “Ngati simuchita mdulidwe potsata mwambo wa Mose, simungapulumuke.”
2 Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul, Barnabas, and some others of them to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
Zimenezi zinachititsa Paulo ndi Barnaba kuti atsutsane nawo kwambiri. Kotero Paulo ndi Barnaba anasankhidwa pamodzi ndi abale ena kuti apite ku Yerusalemu kukaonana ndi atumwi ndi akulu ampingo kukakambirana za nkhaniyi.
3 They, being sent on their way by the assembly, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles. They caused great joy to all the brothers.
Mpingo unawaperekeza, ndipo pamene amadutsa ku Foinike ndi Samariya, iwo anafotokoza momwe a mitundu ina anatembenukira mtima. Nkhani imeneyi inakondweretsa kwambiri abale onse.
4 When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly and the apostles and the elders, and they reported everything that God had done with them.
Atafika ku Yerusalemu, iwo analandiridwa ndi mpingo, pamodzi ndi atumwi ndiponso akulu ampingo. Paulo ndi Barnaba anawafotokozera zonse zimene Mulungu anachita kudzera mwa iwo.
5 But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.”
Kenaka, okhulupirira ena amene kale anali a gulu la Afarisi anayimirira ndipo anati, “Anthu a mitundu ina ayenera kuchita mdulidwe ndi kusunga malamulo a Mose.”
6 The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
Atumwi ndi akulu ampingo anasonkhana kuti akambirane za nkhaniyi.
7 When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News and believe.
Atakambirana kwambiri Petro anayimirira, ndipo anawayankhula nati: “Abale, mukudziwa kuti masiku oyambirira Mulungu anandisankha ine pakati panu kuti anthu a mitundu ina amve kuchokera pakamwa panga mawu a Uthenga Wabwino ndi kukhulupirira.
8 God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.
Mulungu amene amadziwa mtima wa munthu, Iye anaonetsa kuti anawalandira powapatsa Mzimu Woyera, monga momwe anachita kwa ife.
9 He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
Iye sanasiyanitse pakati pa ife ndi iwo, pakuti anayeretsa mitima yawo mwachikhulupiriro.
10 Now therefore why do you tempt God, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
Tsopano, chifukwa chiyani mukuyesa Mulungu poyika goli mʼkhosi la ophunzira, limene ngakhale ife kapena makolo athu sangathe kulisenza?
11 But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”
Osatero! Ife tikukhulupirira kuti tinapulumutsidwa mwachisomo cha Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu, monga iwonso anachitira.”
12 All the multitude kept silence, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.
Gulu lonse linakhala chete pamene amamvetsera Barnaba ndi Paulo akuwawuza za zizindikiro zodabwitsa zimene Mulungu anazichita pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina kudzera mwa iwo.
13 After they were silent, James answered, “Brothers, listen to me.
Iwo atatha kuyankhula, Yakobo anayankhula nati: “Abale, tandimverani.
14 Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name.
Simoni watifotokozera mmene Mulungu poyamba paja anaonetsa kukhudzidwa kwake pomwe anatenga anthu a mitundu ina kukhala ake.
15 This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
Mawu a aneneri akuvomereza zimenezi, monga kwalembedwa kuti,
16 ‘After these things I will return. I will again build the tabernacle of David, which has fallen. I will again build its ruins. I will set it up
“‘Zitatha izi Ine ndidzabwerera ndipo ndidzamanganso nyumba ya Davide imene inagwa. Ndidzakonzanso malo amene anagumuka, ndi kuyimanganso,
17 that the rest of men may seek after the Lord: all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who does all these things.’
kuti anthu otsalawo afunefune Ambuye, ndi anthu onse a mitundu ina amene atchedwa ndi dzina langa, akutero Ambuye, amene amachita zinthu zimenezi
zinaululidwa kuyambira kalekale.’ (aiōn g165)
19 Therefore my judgment is that we don’t trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,
“Chifukwa chake, ine ndikuweruza kuti tisamavute anthu a mitundu ina amene atembenuka mtima kutsata Mulungu.
20 but that we write to them that they abstain from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.
Koma tiwalembere iwo, kuwawuza kuti asadye chakudya choperekedwa kwa mafano, apewenso dama, asadyenso nyama zochita kupotola kapena kudya magazi.
21 For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
Pakuti malamulo a Mose akhala akulalikidwa mu mzinda uliwonse, kuyambira kalekale ndipo amawerengedwa mʼMasunagoge tsiku la Sabata.”
22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.
Pamenepo atumwi ndi akulu ampingo, pamodzi ndi mpingo onse, anagwirizana zosankha anthu ena pakati pawo kuti awatume ku Antiokeya pamodzi ndi Paulo ndi Bamaba. Iwo anasankha Yudasi, wotchedwa Barsaba ndi Sila, anthu awiri amene anali atsogoleri pakati pa abale,
23 They wrote these things by their hand: “The apostles, the elders, and the brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.
kuti akapereke kalata yonena kuti, Kuchokera kwa atumwi ndi akulu ampingo, abale anu, Kwa anthu a mitundu ina okhulupirira a ku Antiokeya, Siriya ndi Kilikiya: Tikupereka moni.
24 Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, ‘You must be circumcised and keep the law,’ to whom we gave no commandment;
Ife tamva kuti anthu ena ochokera pakati pathu, amene sitinawatume anakusokonezani maganizo ndi kukuvutitsani ndi zimene amakuwuzani.
25 it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Tsono ife tagwirizana kuti, tisankhe anthu ena ndi kuwatumiza kwa inu pamodzi ndi abale athu okondedwa Paulo ndi Barnaba,
26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
anthu amene anapereka moyo wawo chifukwa cha dzina la Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
Nʼchifukwa chake, tikutumiza Yudasi ndi Sila kuti adzachitire umboni ndi mawu a pakamwa pawo za zimene ife talemba.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
Pakuti zinakomera Mzimu Woyera ndiponso ife kuti tisakusenzetseni katundu wina, kupatula zoyenera zokhazi:
29 that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell.”
Mupewe kudya chakudya choperekedwa nsembe kwa mafano, musadye magazi, kapena nyama yopha mopotola ndiponso musachite dama. Mudzachita bwino mukapewa zimenezi. Tsalani bwino.
30 So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
Anthu aja anatumidwa ndipo anafika ku Antiokeya, kumene anasonkhanitsa mpingo pamodzi napereka kalatayo.
31 When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
Anthuwo anawerenga kalatayo ndipo abalewo anakondwa chifukwa cha mawu ake achirimbikitso.
32 Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.
Yudasi ndi Sila amene analinso aneneri, ananena zambiri zowalimbikitsa ndi kuwapatsa mphamvu abalewo.
33 After they had spent some time there, they were dismissed in peace from the brothers to the apostles.
Atakhala kumeneko kwa kanthawi, abale aja anatsanzikana nawo mwamtendere kuti abwerere kwa amene anawatuma.
Koma Sila anasankha kuti akhale komweko.
35 But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
Koma Paulo ndi Barnaba anatsalira ku Antiokeya kumene iwo pamodzi ndi ena ambiri anaphunzitsa ndi kulalikira Mawu a Ambuye.
36 After some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s return now and visit our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”
Patapita masiku ena Paulo anati kwa Barnaba, “Tiyeni tibwerere kuti tikaone abale ku mizinda yonse imene tinalalika Mawu a Ambuye ndipo tikaone mmene akuchitira.”
37 Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
Barnaba anafuna kutenga Yohane, wotchedwanso Marko, kuti apite nawo.
38 But Paul didn’t think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and didn’t go with them to do the work.
Koma Paulo anaganiza kuti sichinali cha nzeru kumutenga Yohane chifukwa iye anawathawa ku Pamfiliya ndipo sanapitirire nawo pa ntchito.
39 Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,
Iwo anatsutsana kwambiri kotero kuti anapatukana. Barnaba anatenga Marko ndipo anakwera sitima ya pamadzi kupita ku Kupro.
40 but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
Paulo anasankha Sila. Abale atawapempherera kwa Ambuye kuti alandire chisomo, ananyamuka.
41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.
Iye anadutsa ku Siriya ndi ku Kilikiya kupita akulimbikitsa mipingo.
