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.”
Vamwi vakwame va vali ku zwa mwa Judea ni kuluta vakwavo, chivati, “Kuandakuti upangwe mupato kuzwa ku mulao wa Mushe, ko woli ku hazwa.”
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.
Linu Paulusi ni Banabasi ha veza ku va kalimela ni kuli kananisa navo, Vakwavo chi va zumizana kuti Paulusi, Banabasi ni vamwi va yende kwa Jerusalema ku va apositola ni va kulwana che iyi impuzo.
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.
Ni hakwinavulyo, cha ku tumwa ni inkeleke, chiva hita mwa Phoenicia ni Samaria ni kwi zivisa che iyi indava ya chisi chingi. Chi valeta ku sanga ku vonse vamwavo.
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.
Linu ha vakeza mwa Jerusalema, va va tambulwa ni inkeleke ni va apositola ni vakulwana, mi chiva viha zintu zonse Ireeza chiti navo.
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.”
Kono vakwame vamwi va va zumini, va vali va chikwata cha Mafarisi, chi vazima ni kuti, “Kulukele kuti va chitwe mupato ni ku va laela ku mamela mulao wa Mushe.
6 The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
“Linu va apositola ni va kulwana chi va kungana ha mwina ku zuminzana he iyi indava.
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.
Hakumana wambisana kungi, Pitolosi cha zimana ni ku wamba kuvali, “Vakwetu, mwizi kuti Ireeza ava liketeli mukati kenu, kuti cha mulomo wangu Vasikunze va zuwe linzwi lya makande malotu, ni ku zumina.
8 God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.
Ireeza, wizi inkulo, upaka ku vali, cha ku vaha Luhuho Lujolola, si na mwa vachitili kwetu;
9 He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
mi kana ava chiti ku chi nchana mukati ketu navo, ku panga inkulo za vo ku jolola che intumelo.
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?
Hanu ni ha kwina vulyo chi nzi hamulika Ireeza, kuti muvike ijokwe he nsingo za valutwani liti nanga veshetu kapa iswe kena tuvali woli kuli kulika?
11 But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”
Kono tuzumina kuti katu hazwe ku zwillila ku chisemo cha Simwine Jesu, sina mu va vekalile.”
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.
Chisi chose chi chatontola ni va tekeleze kwa Banabasi ni Paulusi kuviha zisupo ni zi komokisa Ireeza za vapangi mukati ka Vasikunze ku zwilila ku vali.
13 After they were silent, James answered, “Brothers, listen to me.
Ha va siya ku wamba, Jakovo chetava, chati, “Vakwetu mutekeleze kwangu.
14 Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name.
Simoni ava wambi umo Ireeza ku matangisizo mwava heli musa ku tusa Vasikunze cha ku hinda vantu mukati kavo che zina lyakwe.
15 This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
Mi manzwi ava apositola chi a zuminzana nezi, sina mukuñolelwe,
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
Chikwa mana izi zintu ka nivole, Mi kanizake itente lya Davida hape, li va wili hansi; Ka ni li zimike ni ku vozekeza ku shinyeha kwa lyo hape,
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.’
cho kuti vantu vasikeza va zimene va sake Simwine, ku kopanya vulyo ni Vasikunze vonse va sumpitwe che zina lyangu.'
Ichi cha wamba Simwine chiti, ya va pangi zintu zonse zive zi vahele ku zwa kwi nako zakale. (aiōn g165)
19 Therefore my judgment is that we don’t trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,
Niha ku va vulyo, mu nahano wangu kanzi tukatazi Vasikunze vola kwe Ireeza;
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.
kono cha ku va ñolela kuti vazwe ku ku lisinya ni zibumbantu za manza, kuzwa ku vusangu, ni zonse zisinitwe, ni ku zamalaha.
21 For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
Ku zwa kwisika lya kwa kale kwina vantu mwi tolopo ni tolopo va kwete ku kutaza ni ku vala Mushe mu masinagoge lwe Sabata ni 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.
Linu chi kwa voneka vulotu ku va apositola ni vakulwana, ni inkeleke yonse, ku keta Judasi yo sumpwa Basabasi ni Silasi, va vali va kulwana ve inkeleke, mi ni kuva tuimina kwa Antioch ni Paulusi ni Banabasi.
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.
Chiva ñola izi. “Va apositola, va kulwana ni vakwetu, ku Vasikunze vakwetu mwa Antioke, ni Siria ni Silisia, intumeliso.
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;
Tu va zuwi kuti vamwi va kwame va tu sana tuvahi mulao, va vazwi kwetu ni ku mi kataza ni intuto zi kataza ihuho zenu.
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,
Linu chi kwa woneka vulotu kwetu tu vonse ku keta va kwame ni ku va tumina vasakiwa kwetu Banabasi ni Paulusi,
26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
vantu va va viki vuhalo bwavo muvukavo che zina lya Simwine Jesu Kirisite wetu.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
Tu va tumini ni ha ku vavulyo Judasi ni Silasi, vese va mi wambile navo zintu ziswana.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
Mi ni kwavoneki sinte ku Luhuho Lujolola ni kwetu, ku sa vika hewulu lyenu muzio mukando, kwanda zintu zi na intuso:
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.”
kuti musiye zintu za zi tavelo za zivumbantu za manza, malaha, zintu zi dinkitwe, mi ni za vusangu. Haiva ni mulizwisa mwezi muvene, mu ku shiame kwenu. Kulaeza.”
30 So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
Linu he, ha chi va lukululwa ni ku sezumukela mwa Antioke; ha vamana ku kunganya china vungi hamwina, ni vatambika iñolo.
31 When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
Linu ha va livala, chi vasanga che ivaka lye nsusuwezo.
32 Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.
Judasi ni Silasi, mane ni vapolofita, ni va susuweza vana kwavo ni manzwi mangi ni ku va koza.
33 After they had spent some time there, they were dismissed in peace from the brothers to the apostles.
Ha va mana kwi kala inako zana aho, va vatuminwa mu inkozo ku vakwavo va va vatumite.
Kono ku vavoneki ku va hande kwa Silasi ku shala mwateni.
35 But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
Kono Paulusi ni Banabasi ni vekala mwa Antioke hamwina ni vungi bwa vamwi, umo ni valuti ni ku kutaza linzwi lya Simwine.
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.”
Ha ku hita mazuva Paulusi nati kwa Banabasi. “Tuvole hanu mi tukapotele bakwetu mwi tolopo ni tolopo mutu va ku wambite linzwi lya Simwine, mi tuvone kuti vena vule.
37 Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
Banabasi avali ku sunite ku yenda ni Joani ya vali ku sumpwa Mareka.
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.
Kono Paulusi cha zeza kuti ka kwina hande ku hinda Mareka ya vaka vasiyi mwa Pamfilia mi kena ava zwili havusu navo mu musevezi.
39 Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,
Linu chikwa vuka ku sa zuminzana kukando, mi kuti mane chi va kauhana hakati, mi Banabasi cha hinda Mareka ni ku zuha naye ku ya kwa Sipera.
40 but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
Kono Paulusi cha keta Silasi ni ku yenda, ha mana ku mu muhewa ni vakwakwe cha musa wa Simwine.
41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.
Mi ava yendi ku hita mwa Siria ni Silisia na ka vu koza makeleke.
