Acts 13
1 Now there were in Antioch, in the assembly which was [there], prophets and teachers: Barnabas, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, and Manaen, foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
Lino muchikombelo mu Antiyokki, kwakali bamwi basinsimi abayiisi, Bakali Bbanabbasi, Simiyoni (utegwa Nayija), Lusiyasi waku Sayilini, Manayemi (mwananyina wa Helodi mu tetilaki) a Sawulo.
2 And as they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Separate me now Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.
Nibakali kukomba Mwami Mwami akulyiimya kulya, Muuya Uusalala wakati, “Mundibambile bwanzeene Bbanabbasi a Sawulo, bachite mulimo oko nkundabayita.”
3 Then, having fasted and prayed, and having laid [their] hands on them, they let [them] go.
Nibakamana kulyiimya kulya, kukomba, akubika maboko aabalumi aaba, bakabatuma kuzwa.
4 They therefore, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and thence sailed away to Cyprus.
Nkinkako Bbanabbasi a Sawulo, kabali batumwa kunze a Muuya Uusalala, bayinka aansi ku Selusiya; kuzwa oko bakayamba kuya ku Seyipulasi.
5 And being in Salamis, they announced the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John also as [their] attendant.
Nibakali mudolopo lya Salamasi, bakakambawuka ijwi Leza muzikombelo zyama Juuzi. Bakali a Joni Makki mbuli mugwasyi wabo.
6 And having passed through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a certain man a magician, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus,
Nibakamana kwenda kasuwa koonse kusikila ku Pafosi, bakajana umwi mwalumi simusamu, musinsimi mubeji wechi Juda, wakalezina lyakuti Bbaa Jizasi.
7 who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. He, having called Barnabas and Saul to [him], desired to hear the word of God.
Oyu siminsamu wakalijisini amwendelezi wachisi, Sejiyasi Pawulasi, oyo wakali mwalumi musongo loko. Oyu mwalumi wakapa mulandu kuli Bbanabbasi a Sawulo, nkambo wakali kuyanda kumvwa ijwi lya Leza.
8 But Elymas the magician (for so his name is by interpretation) opposed them, seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith.
Pesi Elimasi “simisamu” (obu mbombubo mbulyakali kutolelekelwa izina lyakwe) wakabakazya; wakeezya kusanduula nzila yabeendelezi bachisi kuzwa kululusyomo.
9 But Saul, who also [is] Paul, filled with [the] Holy Spirit, fixing his eyes upon him,
Pesi Sawulo, uutegwa Pawulo alimwi, kazwide Muuya Uusalala, wakamulangisisya kapati
10 said, O full of all deceit and all craft: son of [the] devil, enemy of all righteousness; wilt thou not cease perverting the right paths of [the] Lord?
akwamba kuti, “Iwee mwana satani, uzwide misyobo yoonse yalweno abulozi. Nduwe sinkondonyina wayoonse misyobo yabululami. Tokoyoleka pe kumonya inzila ziluleme zya Mwami, uyoleka na?
11 And now behold, [the] Lord's hand [is] upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell upon him a mist and darkness; and going about he sought persons who should lead him by the hand.
Kwaino boona, kuboko kwa Mwami kuli atala alinduwe, alimwi uyooba moofu. Tokoyobona izuba kwakayindi.” Mpawawo Elimasi wakawidwa sikunkwe amudima; nakatalika kwendeenda kuyanduula bantu kuti bamukwele kuboko.
12 Then the proconsul, seeing what had happened, believed, being amazed at the teaching of the Lord.
Musule akubona zyakachitika mweendelezi wachisi, wakasyoma, nkaambo wakagamba kukuyiisigwa aatala a Mwami.
13 And having sailed from Paphos, Paul and his company came to Perga of Pamphylia; and John separated from them and returned to Jerusalem.
Lino Pawulo abeenzinyina bakatalika kuyamba kuzwa ku Pafosi akuza ku Pega mu Pamfuliya. Pesi Joni wakabasiya alimwi wabweeda ku Jelusalema.
14 But they, passing through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia; and entering into the synagogue on the sabbath day they sat down.
Pawulo abenzinyina bakeenda kuzwa ku Pega akusikila ku Antiyokki yaku Pisidiya. Oko bakanjila muchikombelo mubuzuba butegwa Sabata akukkala ansi.
15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation to the people, speak.
Musule akubalwa kwamulawu abasinsiimi, bazuluzi bechikombelo bakabatumina mulayizyo, kabati, “Nobakwesu, kuti kamujisi mulayiizyo wakusungwazya kubantu bali aano, amuwambe.”
16 And Paul, rising up and making a sign with the hand, said, Israelites, and ye that fear God, hearken.
Nkiinkako Pawulo wakimikila akuumuzya akuboko kwakwe; wakati, “Nobalumi bamu Izilayeli andinywe nimulemeka Leza, amumvwe.
17 The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people in their sojourn in [the] land of Egypt, and with a high arm brought them out of it,
Leza wabantu aba ba Izilayeli wakasala bamataata akuchita bantu kuti bavule awo nibakakkede munyika ya Ijiputi, alimwi akuboko kunyampwidwe wakabazulwida kuzwa munyika njiyo.
18 and for a time of about forty years he nursed them in the desert.
Kwaminyaka ilimbuli makumi oone wakakkala ambabo munkanda mulusaka. Amwi malembe aansiku awamba boobu, kwamyaaka ilimbuli makumi one wakabalela mulusaka na loonde.
19 And having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance.
Musule akujaya izisi zili musanu azibili munyika ya Kkenani, wakapa bantu besu inyika yabo kuti bakkone.
20 And after these things he gave [them] judges till Samuel the prophet, [to the end of] about four hundred and fifty years.
Zyonse inchito ezi zyakachitika mumyaaka myanda yone amakumi musanu. Musule azintu zyonse ezi, Leza wakabapa babetesi mane kwazoba Samiyele musinsimi.
21 And then they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul, son of Kis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, during forty years.
Mpawo bantu bakakumbila Mwami, alimwi Leza wakabapa Sawulo mwana wa Kkishi mulombe, mwalumi uzwa kumusyobo wa Bbenjamini, kuti aabe mwami kwamyaaka makumi one.
22 And having removed him he raised up to them David for king, of whom also bearing witness he said, I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who shall do all my will.
Musule akuti Leza wamugwisya mubwami, wakanyampula Deviti kuti abe ngomwami wabo. Kwakali atala a Deviti mwana wa Jese mulombe kali mwalumi utobela moyo wangu, kuchita zyoonse nzyendiyanda kuti achite.'
23 Of this man's seed according to promise has God brought to Israel a Saviour, Jesus;
Kuzwa kulunyungu lwayooyu mwalumi Leza weeta mufutuli, Jesu, mbuli mbwakasyomezya kuyochita.
24 John having proclaimed before the face of his entry [among the people] [the] baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
Kakutana kuba kuboola kwa Jesu, oyo Joni ngwakakambawuka atala alubbabbatizyo lwakulilesya kubantu boonse ba Izilayeli.
25 And as John was fulfilling his course he said, Whom do ye suppose that I am? I am not [he]. But behold, there comes one after me, the sandal of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.
Awo Joni nakali kumaninsya mulimo wakwe, wakati, 'Muyeeya kuti ndimeni? Teensi ndime oyo pe. Pesi muswilizye, nguumwi uza musule lyangu uuli aansapato zyakumawulu nzyesyeleli kumwangununa pe.'
26 Brethren, sons of Abraham's race, and those who among you fear God, to you has the word of this salvation been sent:
Nobakwesu, bana bamulongo wa Abbulahamu, abaabo bali mukati kenu balemeka Leza, zili kuli ndiswe kuti mulumbe walufutuko olu watumizigwa.
27 for those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, not having known him, have fulfilled also the voices of the prophets which are read on every sabbath, [by] judging [him].
Nkaambo aabo bakkala mu Jelusalemu abazuluzi abasinsimi tebakamuziba pe, alimwi bakazuzikizya ayo majwi abasinsimi ayo abalwa mumasabata woonse akumuniaka.
28 And having found no cause of death [in him], they begged of Pilate that he might be slain.
Nikuba kuti tebakajana kaambo kamwelo wakujiigwa bakayita Pilato kuti amujaye.
29 And when they had fulfilled all things written concerning him, they took him down from the cross and put him in a sepulchre;
Nibakamaninsya zyonse zintu zyakalembedwe atala anguwe, bakamuseluzya amunsamu akumulazika muchuumbwe.
30 but God raised him from among [the] dead,
Pesi Leza wakamubusya kuzwa kubafu.
31 who appeared for many days to those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses to the people.
Wakaboneka kwamazuba miingi ababo bakali baza awe kuzwa ku Galili kuya ku Jelusalemu. Aba bantu lino baba bakamboni bakwe kubantu.
32 And we declare unto you the glad tidings of the promise made to the fathers,
Nkiinkako tuli kumwambila makani mabotu, ichisyomezyo chakaza kumataata
33 that God has fulfilled this to us their children, having raised up Jesus; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son: this day have I begotten thee.
watuzuzikizizya iswe, abana babo, mukubusya Jesu. Mbuli mbukulembedwe muli Ntembawuzyo: 'Uli mwana wangu mulombe, sunu ndaba Wuso.'
34 But that he raised him from among [the] dead, no more to return to corruption, he spoke thus: I will give to you the faithful mercies of David.
Mukuti wakamubusya kuzwa kubafu tachibwedeli pe, Leza wakambuula muli eyi inzila: 'Ndiyomupa izisalala alimwi zyanchoonzyo zilongezyo zyakasyomezegwa kuli Deviti.'
35 Wherefore also he says in another, Thou wilt not suffer thy gracious one to see corruption.
Nkinkako nchawamba lubo muli imwi Intembawuzyo, 'Tokoyozumizya Musalalai wako pe kuti akabone kubola.'
36 For David indeed, having in his own generation ministered to the will of God, fell asleep, and was added to his fathers and saw corruption.
Nkambo awo Daviti nakali wabelekela ziyandisyo zya Leza muzyalane lyakwe mwini, wakoona ing'onzi; wakalazikwa amwi awisi alimwi mubili wakwe wakamvwa kubola.
37 But he whom God raised up did not see corruption.
Pesi kuloyo ngwakabusya Leza takwepe nakamvwa kubola.
38 Be it known unto you, therefore, brethren, that through this man remission of sins is preached to you,
Nkinkako leka chizibinkane kuli ndinywe, bakwesu, kuti kwinda muli oyu mwalumi kuli kambawukidwe kuli ndinywe ilu lekelelo lwa zibi.
39 and from all things from which ye could not be justified in the law of Moses, in him every one that believes is justified.
Kuli nguwe woonse muntu usyoma ulilulamikidwe kuzwa kuzintu zyonse ezyo mulawu wa Mozesi nziwakakachilwa kukululamika.
40 See therefore that that which is spoken in the prophets do not come upon [you],
Elyo nkinkaako mubone kuti chakaambwa abasinsimi tazichitiki pe kuli ndinywe.
41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder and perish; for I work a work in your days, a work which ye will in no wise believe if one declare it to you.
'Amubone, nobadyamizi, alimwi mugambe alimwi mufwe mpawo: Nkambo ndili kweeta mulimo mumazuba eenu, imulimo ngomutakabule kusyoma pe, nikuba kuti umwi muntu wawambilizya kuli ndinywe.”
42 And as they went out they begged that these words might be spoken to them the ensuing sabbath.
Awo Pawulo a Bbanabbasi nibakeenda, bantu bakabakumbila kuti bazowambe lubo majwi nyayaayo musabata iitobela.
43 And the congregation of the synagogue having broken up, many of the Jews and of the worshipping proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
Niwakamana muswangano wachikombelo, bwingi bwaba Juda abasikulipeda bakatobela Pawulo a Bbanabbasi, aabo bakambuula abo akubasungwazya kuti bayinkilile anumbo muluzyalo lwa Leza.
44 And on the coming sabbath almost all the city was gathered together to hear the word of God.
Mubuzuba ibutegwa Sabata yakatobela, kubanga idolopo lyonse lyakali bungene antoomwe kuti bamvwe ijwi lya Mwami.
45 But the Jews, seeing the crowds, were filled with envy, and contradicted the things said by Paul, [contradicting and] speaking injuriously.
Awo ba Juda nibakabona lubunga lwabantu, bakazula bbivwe akwambuula kabakazya zintu zyakaambwa a Pawulo akumutukila.
46 And Paul and Barnabas spoke boldly and said, It was necessary that the word of God should be first spoken to you; but, since ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the nations; (aiōnios g166)
Pesi Pawulo a Bbanabbasi bakambuula chamanguzu kabti, “Kwakeelede kuti ijwi lya Leza kalyaambwa kusanguna kuli ndinywe. Mukubona kuti mula litabulula kuzwa kulindinywe akulibona kamuteeledwe buumi bulakujulu, amubone, tuyobweeda kuli basizibi. (aiōnios g166)
47 for thus has the Lord enjoined us: I have set thee for a light of the nations, that thou shouldest be for salvation to the end of the earth.
Nkambo mbombubo mbatulayilila Mwami, wati, “Ndasala mbuli mumuni wabasizibi, kuti mweete lufutuko kumasena akunze anyika.”
48 And [those of] the nations, hearing it, rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord, and believed, as many as were ordained to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Awo basizibi nibakamvwa echi, bakabotelwa akusalazya ijwi lya Mwami. Mbuli biingi bakasalwa kubuumi bwakujulu bakasyoma. (aiōnios g166)
49 And the word of the Lord was carried through the whole country.
Ijwi lya Mwami lyakendelezegwa muchengelelo choonse.
50 But the Jews excited the women of the upper classes who were worshippers, and the first people of the city, and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their coasts.
Pesi ba Juda bakeenena banakazi balipedelede kubwime bwajulu abalumi bazuluzi badolopo. Bakasungwaazya kusyonsegwa kwa Pawulo a Bbanabbasi akubagwisya muchenelelo chabo.
51 But they, having shaken off the dust of their feet against them, came to Iconium.
Pesi Pawulo a Bbanabbasi bakakunkumuna lusuko kuzwa kumawulu aabo mukukazyania ambabo. Mpawo bakaya kudolopo lyaku Ikkoniyamu.
52 And the disciples were filled with joy and [the] Holy Spirit.
Alimwi basikwiiya bakazuzigwa alukondo alimwi a Muuya Uusalala.
