Acts 15
1 And certain persons, having come down from Judaea, taught the brethren, If ye shall not have been circumcised according to the custom of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
Bamwi balumi bakakunuka kuzwa ku Judiya kabaya ku Antiyokki kabayiisya basyomi kabaamba kuti, “Na temwapalulwa mbuli mbuuwamba mulawu wa Mozesi tamukonzyi pe kufutulwa.”
2 A commotion therefore having taken place, and no small discussion on the part of Paul and Barnabas against them, they arranged that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others from amongst them, should go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
Echi chakachita kuti Pawulu a Bbanabbasi abalumi aaba bakazyanie kapati akubonesyania. Nkabela Pawulu a Bbanabbasi, antoomwe abamwi akati kabo, bakatumwa ku Jelusalema kuti bakaswanane aba Tumwa abaalu bambungano akubuzya atala ankani eeyi.
3 They therefore, having been set on their way by the assembly, passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, relating the conversion of [those of] the nations. And they caused great joy to all the brethren.
Nobakatumwa ambungano bakayinda ku Foyenisiya amu Samaliya kabaya bulungulula kusanduka kwabamaasi bakeeta lukoondo lupati.
4 And being arrived at Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly, and the apostles, and the elders, and related all that God had wrought with them.
Nibakasika mu Jelusalemu, bakatambulwa ambunga abatumwa antomwe abaalu bembungano, mpawo bakalungulula zintu zyoonse Leza nzyaakachita kwinda mulimbabo.
5 And some of those who were of the sect of the Pharisees, who believed, rose up from among [them], saying that they ought to circumcise them and enjoin them to keep the law of Moses.
Pesi bamwi bakasyoma, kabali bankamu yaba Falisi, bakanyampuka bati, “Nchintu chipati loko kuti: tubapalule akubalayilila kuti babambe mulawu wa Mozesi,”
6 And the apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
Nkinkaako batumwa aabalu bembungano bakabungana antomwe akuzilikila kuti ngakulachitwa biyeni ankani eeyi.
7 And much discussion having taken place, Peter, standing up, said to them, Brethren, ye know that from the earliest days God amongst you chose that the nations by my mouth should hear the word of the glad tidings and believe.
Nikwakayinda kayinda chindi chilamfuchakubonesyania atala enkani eeyi, Pita wakanyampuka wasikuti kulimbaabo, “Nobenzuma, mulizi kuti kuchiindi chainda Leza wakandisala akati kenu kuti akukambawuka kwangu bamaasi balimvwe ijwi lyamakani mabotu mpawo basyome
8 And the heart-knowing God bore them witness, giving [them] the Holy Spirit as to us also,
Leza uuzi moyo, wakapa bukamboni kulimbabo mukubapa Muuya Uusalala, mbuli mbwakachita kulindiswe.
9 and put no difference between us and them, having purified their hearts by faith.
Tachitide musiyano pe akati kesu ambabo, mukusalazya myoyo yabo kwiinda mulusyomo.
10 Now therefore why tempt ye God, by putting a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?
Nkambonzi nimusunka Leza, akubika jokwe munsingo zyabasikwiiya eelyo bamatata nikuba ndiswe nditutakonzyi kulibweza.
11 But we believe that we shall be saved by the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same manner as they also.
Pesi tulasyoma kuti tuyofutulwa mukwinda muluzyalo lwa Mwami Jesu, mbuli mbubakafutulwa,”
12 And all the multitude kept silence and listened to Barnabas and Paul relating all the signs and wonders which God had wrought among the nations by them.
Bantu boonse bakawumuna akuswilizya ba Bbanabbasi a Pawulu kabalokulungununa zitondezyo azigambyo Leza nzyakabeleka akati kabamaasi kwinda mulimbabo.
13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Brethren, listen to me:
Nibakamaninsya kwambuula, Jemusi wakasandula kuti, “Nobenzuma, ngamundiswilizye.
14 Simon has related how God first visited to take out of [the] nations a people for his name.
Sayimoni walungulula Leza mbwakagwasya muluzyalo lwakwe bamaasi kuti alichitile bantu bakwe kuzina lyakwe;
15 And with this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written:
Majwi abasinsimi alazuminana anzizyo eezi, mbuuli mbukulembedwe,
16 After these things I will return, and will rebuild the tabernacle of David which is fallen, and will rebuild its ruins, and will set it up,
'Kwainda zintu eezi Ndiyoobola, alimwi ndiyoyakulula chikombelo cha Devidi, eecho chakamwayika; ndiyoyakulula akubusya lubo matongo acho,
17 so that the residue of men may seek out the Lord, and all the nations on whom my name is invoked, saith [the] Lord, who does these things
kuchitila kuti balobosi babantu bakonzye kulanguula Mwami, antoomwe abamaasi boonse bayitwa kuzina lyangu.”
Mbuboobu Mwami mbwaamba, ooyo wakachita zintu ezi zyakazibinkana kuzwa muzyiindi zyakale. ( kuli magwalo aba Giliki achiindi alabupanduluzi busiyen, mubunini, mbubobu Mwami mbwaamba, aabo bazi zyoonse nzyakachita kuzwa kuchiindi chakale. (aiōn g165)
19 Wherefore I judge, not to trouble those who from the nations turn to God;
Nkiinkako, muyeyo wangu ngwakuti, tutabakatazyi pe bamaasi aba basandukila kuli Leza;
20 but to write to them to abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood.
Pesi tuyobalembela kuti beelede kusosoloka kuzwa kukulininania amituni, kuzwa kubusofwazi kulizyamalalane, akukulyanyama yabanyama bafwa akulidinwa, akuzwa bulowa.
21 For Moses, from generations of old, has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath.
Nkambo Mozesi wakakambawukwa mumadolopo mapati oonse: kuzwa kumazyalane akale nkabela uchikambawukwa amuzikombelo mazuba oonse ategwa Sabata.
22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and to the elders, with the whole assembly, to send chosen men from among them with Paul and Barnabas to Antioch, Judas called Barsabas and Silas, leading men among the brethren,
Aboobo batumwa, abalu bambungano, antomwe ambungano yoonse, bakabona kuti nchibotu kuti basale Judasi uutegwa Bbasabbasi a Sayilasi, abo bakali bazulwidi baabamwi, kuti babatume ku Antiyokki antomwe a Pawulu a Bbanabbasi,
23 having by their hand written [thus]: The apostles, and the elders, and the brethren, to the brethren who are from among [the] nations at Antioch, and [in] Syria and Cilicia, greeting:
Bakalemba eezi: “Ibatumwa, bazuluzi ababunyiina, kulibamaasi abalimu Antiyokki, Siliya akuSilisiya, Twamujuzya.
24 Inasmuch as we have heard that some who went out from amongst us have troubled you by words, upsetting your souls, [saying that ye must be circumcised and keep the law]; to whom we gave no commandment;
Nkambo twakamvwa kuti bamwi baalumi bakazwa akati kesu, kabatakwe malayilile kuzwa kuli ndiswe, aboobo bamunyongania amabala aayo atyola myuuya yanu,
25 it seemed good to us, having arrived at a common judgment, to send chosen men to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Zyakatubotela iswe, nitwakalanzyania akuzuminana, kusala balumi akubatuma kulindinywe antoomwe abayandwi kulindiswe ba Bbanabbasi a Pawulu,
26 men who have given up their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Baalumi bakaaba buumi bwabo kuntenda nkambo kazina lya-Mwami Jesu Kkilisito.
27 We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who themselves also will tell you by word [of mouth] the same things.
Nkinkko twatuma Judasi a Sayilasi, abo batamwambile zintu nzizyo eezyo amajwi abo.
28 For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things:
Nkaambo kwakabotela Muuya Uusalala andiswe, Kuti tutamulemezyi mukuli atala azintu zitakwe lugwasyo,
29 to abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication; keeping yourselves from which ye will do well. Farewell.
Kuti mulikasye kuzintu zipayilwa kumituni, bulowa, akuzintu zitanoli zyakafwa akusinwa akubusofwazi bwamalalano na mwalibamba kuzwa kuli zeezi zilamubotela muchale kabotu.”
30 They therefore, being let go, came to Antioch, and having gathered the multitude delivered to [them] the epistle.
Lino nibakasungulwa, bakakunukila ku Antiyokki; nibakabunganisya makamu abantu boonse, bakasisya lugwalo.
31 And having read it, they rejoiced at the consolation.
Nibakamana kubala lugwalo bakabotelwa nkambo kakusungwazigwa.
32 And Judas and Silas, being themselves also prophets, exhorted the brethren with much discourse, and strengthened them.
Judasi a Sayilasi, alimwi abasinsiimi bakabasungwazya babunyina amajwi akubasimya.
33 And having passed some time [there], they were let go in peace from the brethren to those who sent them.
Eelyo nibakakkala chiindi chinini nkuko oko, baka bwedezegwa kuzwa kulibakwabo abo bakabatumide muluumuno.
Magwalo mabotu achiindi takwe minchali pe awa 34. ( langa Nchito 15: 40) Pesi kwakaboneka kuti nchibotu kuti Sayilasi achaale nkuko.
35 And Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and announcing the glad tidings, with many others also, of the word of the Lord.
Pesi Pawulu a Bbanabbasi bakakkala ku Antiyokki, kabalikuyiisya akukambawuka ( antomwe abamwi biingi) Ijwi lya Mwami.
36 But after certain days Paul said to Barnabas, Let us return now and visit the brethren in every city where we have announced the word of the Lord, [and see] how they are getting on.
Nikwakayinda mazuba Pawulu wakati kuli Bbanabbasi, “Ngatubweede lino tukaswaye bakwesu mumadolopo woonse omo mutwaakambilizya ijwi lya Mwami, akubona kuti balibiyeni.
37 And Barnabas proposed to take with [them] John also, called Mark;
Bbanabbasi wakalikuyanda kuti beende amwi a Joni wakalikutegwa ngu Makki.
38 but Paul thought it not well to take with them him who had abandoned them, [going back] from Pamphylia, and had not gone with them to the work.
Pesi Pawulu wakayeeya kuti takuli kubotu kuti babweze Makki, ooyo wakabalobokede mu Pamfuliya akuleka kwendelela kunembo ambabo amulimu.
39 There arose therefore very warm feeling, so that they separated from one another; and Barnabas taking Mark sailed away to Cyprus;
Lino mpawawo kwakaba kukazyania kupati, kwakachitika kutibapambukane kuzwa kuli umwi awumwi, mpawo Bbanabbasi wakabweza Makki, bayamba binkamwi mubwaato bayaku Sayipulasi.
40 but Paul having chosen Silas went forth, committed by the brethren to the grace of God.
Pesi Pawulu wakasala kupedekezegwa kuluzyalo lwaMwami ababunyiina.
41 And he passed through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the assemblies.
Mpawo wakeenda akwiinda mu Siliya aku Silisiya kabali kusimya mambungaano.
