Acts 11
1 Nowe the Apostles and the brethren that were in Iudea, heard, that the Gentiles had also receiued the worde of God.
Batumwa, ne bonse bashoma Yesu, balikuba mu Yudeya, balanyumfweti naboyo bantu ba mishobo naimbi balatambula maswi a Lesa.
2 And when Peter was come vp to Hierusalem, they of the circumcision contended against him,
Petulo mpwalabwelela ku Yelusalemu, bantu balikuba bayuminina nta kuciyisho ca kupalula, balatotekeshana nendi.
3 Saying, Thou wentest in to men vncircumcised, and hast eaten with them.
Balo balambeti, “Obe walaya kwingila mu ng'anda ya muntu wabula kupalulwa, ne kulya nendi pamo.”
4 Then Peter beganne, and expounded the thing in order to them, saying,
Petulo walatatika kubambila cena bintu byalenshika. Walambeti,
5 I was in the citie of Ioppa, praying, and in a trance I sawe this vision, A certaine vessell comming downe as it had bene a great sheete, let downe from heauen by the foure corners, and it came to me.
“Ame ndalikupaila mu munshi wa Yopa. Popelapo mucimbonimboni ndalabona cintu calikwisa panshi kufuma kwilu. Calikuboneketi cikwisa cinene casungwa nkokola shina, calesa mpondalikuba.
6 Towarde the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and sawe foure footed beastes of the earth, and wilde beastes, and creeping things, and foules of the heauen.
Mpondalalangishisha, ndalabonamo banyama bamucisuwa ne beshikukalaba kayi ne bikeni bishikuluka.
7 Also I heard a voyce, saying vnto me, Arise, Peter: slay and eate.
Ndalanyumfwa maswi akung'ambileti, ‘Petulo, punduka, koshina, ulye.’
8 And I said, God forbid, Lord: for nothing polluted or vncleane hath at any time entred into my mouth.
Nomba ndalambeti, ‘Sobwe, Nkambo! Ame nkanandyapo cintu cabula kuswepa, cishikusesemya kufumina na nililyoni.’
9 But the voyce answered me the seconde time from heauen, The things that God hath purified, pollute thou not.
Nomba liswi lyalafuma kwilu lyalamba kayi eti, ‘Bintu mbyalaswepeshe Lesa, obe kotambeti byashilila.’
10 And this was done three times, and all were taken vp againe into heauen.
Ici calenshika tunkanda tutatu, panyuma pakendi byonse byalamantwa kayi kuya kwilu.
11 Then behold, immediatly there were three men already come vnto the house where I was, sent from Cesarea vnto me.
Pacindi copeleco, kung'anda nkondali kwikala, kwalashika bantu batatu, balatumwa kulinjame kufuma ku Kaisaleya.
12 And the Spirit saide vnto me, that I should go with them, without doubting: moreouer these sixe brethren came with me, and we entred into the mans house.
Mushimu Uswepa walang'ambileti, kantakana kuya nabo sobwe. Aba banse basanu ne umo nabo balanshindikila, mpaka twalengila mu ng'anda ya Kolonelyo.
13 And he shewed vs, howe he had seene an Angel in his house, which stoode and said to him, Send men to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter.
Neye walatwambila mbuli ncalabona mungelo kaliwemana mu ng'anda yakendi, ne kumwambileti, ‘Kotuma bantu ku Yopa benga bakuwe Shimoni, ukute kukwiweti Petulo.
14 He shall speake wordes vnto thee, whereby both thou and all thine house shalbe saued.
Nendi nakwambile maswi alupulusho lwakobe, ne bamung'nda yakobe bonse.’
15 And as I began to speake, the holy Ghost fell on them, euen as vpon vs at the beginning.
Lino mpondalatatika kwamba, Mushimu Uswepa walesa palyendibo, mbuli ncewalesa pali njafwe pasa pakutatika.
16 Then I remembred the word of the Lord, howe he said, Iohn baptized with water, but ye shalbe baptized with the holy Ghost.
Popelapo ndalanuka maswi asa ngalamba Mwami Yesu akwambeti, ‘Yohane walikubatisha ne menshi, nomba amwe nimukabatishiwe ne Mushimu Uswepa.’
17 For as much then as God gaue them a like gift, as he did vnto vs, when we beleeued in the Lord Iesus Christ, who was I, that I coulde let God?
Neco na Lesa walabapa cipo cimocimo mbuli ncalatupa afwe mpotwalashoma Mwami Yesu Klistu, ame njame bani kwambeti ndimukanishe Lesa?”
18 When they heard these things, they helde their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles graunted repentance vnto life.
Mpobalanyumfweco basa balikutotekeshana ne Petulo, balacileka kumutoteka. Balatembaula Lesa ne kwambeti, “Anu ekwambeti Lesa labapa naboyo bantu batamwinshi, colwe cakwambeti bashiye micito yabo yaipa ne kutambula buyumi.”
19 And they which were scattered abroade because of the affliction that arose about Steuen, went throughout till they came vnto Phenice and Cyprus, and Antiochia, preaching the worde to no man, but vnto the Iewes onely.
Basa bashoma Klistu, balapalangana cebo camapensho alabuka palufu lwa Stefano. Balakashika ku Fenishiya, ku Saipulasi ne ku Antiyokeya. Aba bantu nkabali kukambaukila muntu uliyense sobwe, nsombi Bayuda bonka.
20 Now some of them were men of Cyprus and of Cyrene, which when they were come into Antiochia, spake vnto the Grecians, and preached the Lord Iesus.
Palikuba bantu nabambi balafumina ku Saipulasi, neku Kulene. Aba balashika ku Antiyokeya, kabaya kukambauka ku Bagiliki naboyo, Mulumbe Waina ulambanga sha Mwami Yesu.
21 And the hand of the Lord was with them, so that a great number beleeued and turned vnto the Lord.
Ngofu sha Mwami Lesa shalikubanyamfwilisha, cakwinseti bantu bangi balashoma ne kusandukila kuli Mwami Yesu.
22 Then tydings of those things came vnto the eares of the Church, which was in Hierusalem, and they sent foorth Barnabas, that he should goe vnto Antiochia.
Makani awa mpwalanyumfwika ku mubungano waku Yelusalemu, balatumako Banabasi ku Antiyokeya.
23 Who when he was come and had seene the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted all, that with purpose of heart they would continue in the Lord.
Mpwalashika ne kubona Lesa ncalapa colwe abo bantu, walakondwa ne kubayuminisheti batwalilile kushoma Mwami Yesu ne myoyo yabo yonse.
24 For he was a good man, and full of the holy Ghost, and faith, and much people ioyned them selues vnto the Lord.
Banabasi walikuba muntu walulama, walikutanguninwa ne Mushimu Uswepa ne lushomo lunene, neco bantu bangi balaletwa kuli Mwami Yesu.
25 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus to seeke Saul:
Kufumapo Banabasi walaya ku Taliso, kuya kulangaula Saulo.
26 And when he had founde him, he brought him vnto Antiochia: and it came to passe that a whole yere they were conuersant with ye Church, and taught much people, in so much that the disciples were first called Christians in Antiochia.
Mpwalamucana Saulo, walesa nendi pamo ku Antiyokeya. Bonse pamo balekala mu mubungano waku Antiyokeya, ne kwiyisha bantu bangi kwacaka cimo. Uku ku Antiyokeya, enkobatatikila beshikwiya kukwiweti baklistu.
27 In those dayes also came Prophets from Hierusalem vnto Antiochia.
Mu masubayo kwalashika bashinshimi ba Lesa nabambi ku Antiyokeya balafumina ku Yelusalemu.
28 And there stoode vp one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit, that there should be great famine throughout all the world, which also came to passe vnder Claudius Cesar.
Naumbi mushishimi lina lyakendi Agabu, walemana ne kushinshima kupitila mu mushimu wa Lesa, kwambeti mucishi conse mulakabanga nsala inene. Nsala iyi yalabako pacindi Kulodiyasi mpwalikuba mwami mukulene waku Loma.
29 Then the disciples, euery man according to his ability, purposed to sende succour vnto the brethren which dwelt in Iudea.
Cindici baklistu balayeyeti uliyense atumeko lunyamfwo kubanse balikwikala mu Yudeya, uliyense atume kwelana mbuli ncabele pang'anda, ico ncelela kukonsha.
30 Which thing they also did, and sent it to the Elders, by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
Mpobalapwa kubunganya bipo, balapa Banabasi ne Saulo kwambeti batwale ku bamakulene ba mubungano waku Yelusalemu.
