< Acts 13 >

1 There were also in the Church that was at Antiochia, certaine Prophets and teachers, as Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manahen (which had bin brought vp with Herod the Tetrarche) and Saul.
Mu msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu va ku Antiokia kwavili na vandu vangi vevavi vamlota va Chapanga na vawula, pagati yavi vavi Banaba na Sauli na Simioni mweikemiwa mtitu, Lukio wa Kulene, Manaeni mwealeliwi pamonga na Nkosi Helodi.
2 Nowe as they ministred to the Lord, and fasted, the holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul, for the worke whereunto I haue called them.
Pavamuyupayi Bambu na kujihinisa chakulya, Mpungu Msopi akavajovela, “Mnihagulila Banaba na Sauli ndava ya lihengu lenivakemelili.”
3 Then fasted they and prayed, and layde their hands on them, and let them goe.
Hinu vakajihinisa chakulya neju na kumuyupa Chapanga, vakavapamisa mawoko panani yavi vakavatuma vahamba.
4 And they, after they were sent foorth of the holy Ghost, came downe vnto Seleucia, and from thence they sayled to Cyprus.
Hinu, Mpungu Msopi peamali kuvatuma Banaba na Sauli, vakahelela mbaka Seleukia na kuhuma kwenuko vakayingila muwatu mbaka kukisiwa cha Kuplo.
5 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the worde of God in the Synagogues of the Iewes: and they had also Iohn to their minister.
Pavahikili ku Salami vakakokosa Lilovi la Chapanga munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi. Yohani Maluko avi mtangatila wavi.
6 So when they had gone throughout the yle vnto Paphus, they found a certaine sorcerer, a false prophet, being a Iewe, named Bariesus,
Vagendili kuhuma upandi umonga na kuhamba upandi wungi wa kisiwa na kuhika Pafo, vamkolili mundu mmonga Myawudi mhavi liina laki Bal yesu mlota wa udese.
7 Which was with the Deputie Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. He called vnto him Barnabas and Saul, and desired to heare the woorde of God.
Mwenuyo avi pamonga na Seligio Pauli, mkulu wa kisiwa chila avi mundu wa luhala neju. Selgio Pauli avakemili Banaba na Sauli muni ayuwana Lilovi la Chapanga.
8 But Elymas, ye sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstoode them, and sought to turne away the Deputie from the faith.
Nambu mhavi yula Bal yesu mweikemelewa Elima kwa Chigiliki, alingili kuvabelelela muni kumbesa mkulu wa kisiwa chila akotoka kusadika sadika ya Chikilisitu.
9 Then Saul (which also is called Paul) being full of the holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,
Hinu Sauli mweikemiwa mewa Pauli, kuni amemisiwi Mpungu Msopi, akamlolokesa takataka mhavi yula,
10 And sayde, O full of all subtiltie and all mischiefe, the childe of the deuill, and enemie of all righteousnesse, wilt thou not cease to peruert the straight waies of the Lord?
na kujova, “Veve wamwana wa Setani, likoko wa kila chindu chechimganisa Chapanga, mweumemili uhakau na udese. Nakuleka hati padebe kubudisa uchakaka wa njila selede za Bambu!
11 Nowe therefore behold, the hand of the Lord is vpon thee, and thou shalt be blinde, and not see the sunne for a season. And immediately there fel on him a mist and a darknes; and he went about, seeking some to leade him by the hand.
Hinu, chiwoko cha Bambu yati chikubuna, yati wivya ngalola nakuhotola kulola lilanga mulukumbi.” Bahapo Elima chitita chikayingila mumihu gaki hati gakakoyoko, hati akatumbula kupamisa kuni na kuni, kulonda mundu wa kumkamula chiwoko amulongosa.
12 Then the Deputie when he sawe what was done, beleeued, and was astonied at the doctrine of the Lord.
Mkulu wa kisiwa yula peagawene mambu gala, akasadika, akakangasa neju ndava ya mawuliwu gakumvala Bambu.
13 Nowe when Paul and they that were with him were departed by shippe from Paphus, they came to Perga a citie of Pamphylia: then Iohn departed from them, and returned to Hierusalem.
Kangi Pauli na vayaki vakawuka Pafo, vakayingila muwatu na kuhamba kumuji wa Peliga mulima wa Pamfulia. Nambu Yohani Maluko avalekili na kuwuya ku Yelusalemu.
14 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antiochia a citie of Pisidia, and went into the Synagogue on ye Sabbath day, and sate downe.
Nambu vene vayendalili na lugendu kuhuma Peliga mbaka pamuji wa Antiokia ya Pisidia. Ligono la Kupumulila vakayingila munyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi na kutama pahi.
15 And after the lecture of the Law and Prophets, the rulers of ye Synagogue sent vnto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye haue any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
Pevamali kusoma muchitabu cha malagizu ga Bambu geampeli Musa na Mayandiku ga Vamlota va Chapanga, vala vachilongosi va nyumba ya kukonganekela Vayawudi yila vavatumili ujumbi uwu, “Valongo ngati kuvi na malovi ga kuvakangamalisa mitima vandu ava mujova.”
16 Then Paul stoode vp and beckened with the hand, and sayde, Men of Israel, and yee that feare God, hearken.
Ndi Pauli akayima na kuvapungila chiwoko na kutumbula kuvajovela, “Vakolonjinji va Isilaeli na voha mwemumtopesa Chapanga, muniyuwanila!
17 The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt in the land of Egypt, and with an high arme brought them out thereof.
Chapanga wa mulima uwu wa Isilaeli avahagwili vagogo vitu, akavakita vandu va kuvya mulima uvaha pavatamayi kuuyehe ku Misili. Kangi akavawusa kwenuko kwa makakala gaki.
18 And about the time of fourtie yeeres, suffered he their maners in the wildernesse.
Akasindimala nawu mulukumbi lwa miyaka alobaini kulugangatu kula.
19 And he destroied seuen nations in the land of Chanaan, and deuided their lad to them by lot.
Akagakomekesa makabila saba ga mulima wa Kanani ndi akavapela mulima wenuwo vandu avo kuvya uhali wavi.
20 Then afterward he gaue vnto them Iudges about foure hundreth and fiftie yeeres, vnto the time of Samuel the Prophet.
Mambu ago gahengiki kwa lukumbi lwa miyaka miya mcheche na hamsini.” “Kangi akavapela vahamula mihalu vavalongosa mbaka magono ga mlota wa Chapanga Samueli.
21 So after that, they desired a King, and God gaue vnto them Saul, the sonne of Cis, a man of ye tribe of Beniamin, by the space of fourty yeres.
Chechagelekili ndi vakamyupa nkosi, ndi Chapanga akavapela Sauli mwana wa Kishi wa lukolo lwa Benjamini, akalongosa mulukumbi lwa miyaka alobaini.
22 And after he had taken him away, he raised vp Dauid to be their King, of whom he witnessed, saying, I haue found Dauid the sonne of Iesse, a man after mine owne heart, which will doe all things that I will.
Peamuwusili Sauli, Chapanga akamhagula Daudi avya nkosi wavi. Chapanga mwene akavajovela hotohoto, nimhagwili Daudi mwana wa Yese, ndava muni mundu mweakuniganisa. Mwenuyo ndi mweihenga mambu goha genikugagana.
23 Of this mans seede hath God according to his promise raised vp to Israel, ye Sauiour Iesus:
Kuhuma mu chiveleku cha mundu mwenuyo, Chapanga ngati cheavalagizi vandu va Isilaeli kuvapelekela Msangula ndi Yesu.
24 When Iohn had first preached before his coming the baptisme of repentance to all the people of Israel.
Yesu peavi akona kutumbula lihengu laki, Yohani amlongolili na kuvakokosela vandu voha va Isilaeli kuvya yikuvagana vamuwuyila Chapanga na kubatiziwa.
25 And when Iohn had fulfilled his course, he saide, Whom ye thinke that I am, I am not he: but beholde, there commeth one after me, whose shooe of his feete I am not worthy to loose.
Yohani peavi mukumala ujumbi waki avajovili vandu, Mwiholela nene ndi yani? Mwemkumlindila lepi nene. Nambu yuwanila! Mweibwela mumbela yangu, nene nakuganikiwa hati kuwopola nyosi za champali zaki!”
26 Yee men and brethren, children of the generation of Abraham, and whosoeuer among you feareth God, to you is the woorde of this saluation sent.
“Valongo vangu, nyenye chiveleku cha Ibulahimu, na vangi voha mwemkumtopesa Chapanga! Ujumbi uwu wa usangula uletiwi kwitu!
27 For the inhabitants of Hierusalem, and their rulers, because they knewe him not, nor yet the woordes of the Prophets, which are read euery Sabbath day, they haue fulfilled them in condemning him.
Muni vakolonjinji va Yelusalemu na vakulu vavi vammanyili lepi Yesu kuvya Msangula, katu nakugamanya malovi ga vamlota va Chapanga gegasomewa kila Ligono la Kupumulila. Pamonga na ago vakagatimilisi kwa kumkoma Yesu lifwa.
28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate to kill him.
Pamonga na avi lepi na yeyikumgana akomiwa, vamyupili Pilatu amhukumwa lifwa.
29 And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they tooke him downe from the tree, and put him in a sepulchre.
Na pevamali kuhenga goha gegayandikiwi kumvala Yesu, vakamuhulusa kuhuma mu msalaba, vakamvika mu litinda la mbugu.
30 But God raised him vp from the dead.
Nambu Chapanga amuyukisi kwevafwili.
31 And hee was seene many dayes of them, which came vp with him from Galile to Hierusalem, which are his witnesses vnto the people.
Mwene kwa magono gamahele, avahumalili vealongosini nawu kuhuma ku Galilaya mbaka ku Yelusalemu. Venavo ndi hinu vandu vevakujovela vandu va Isilaeli mambu ga Yesu.
32 And we declare vnto you, that touching the promise made vnto the fathers,
Hinu tete tikuvakokosela nyenye Lilovi la Bwina, lenilo ndi lilaganu kwa vagogo vitu,
33 God hath fulfilled it vnto vs their children, in that he raised vp Iesus, euen as it is written in the seconde Psalme, Thou art my Sonne: this day haue I begotten thee.
Chapanga ahengili lilaganu lenilo ndava yitu tete chiveleku chavi kwa kumyukisa Yesu, ngati cheyiyandikiwi Muzabuli ya pili, ‘Veve ndi Wamwana vangu na nene lelu na Dadi waku.’
34 Nowe as concerning that he raised him vp from the dead, no more to returne to corruption, he hath said thus, I wil giue you the holy things of Dauid, which are faithfull.
Na ndava ya kumyukisa kwevafwili, nakuwuya kavili kwenuko ndi awolili lepi. Chapanga ajovili, ‘Yati nikupela mota ya usopi na uchakaka zezanamlagazili Daudi.’
35 Wherefore hee sayeth also in another place, Thou wilt not suffer thine Holy one to see corruption.
Hinu wijova mu mayandiku gangi ga Zabuli, ‘Umleka lepi Msopi waku awola.’
36 Howbeit, Dauid after hee had serued his time by the counsell of God, hee slept, and was laid with his fathers, and sawe corruption.
Daudi mwene ahengili geigana Chapanga mulukumbi lwaki, na kangi afwili na kuvikiwa mu litinda la mbugu papipi na vagogo vaki, na higa yaki yawolili.
37 But he whom God raised vp, sawe no corruption.
Nambu yula mweayukiswi na Chapanga kwa vafwili awolili lepi.
38 Be it knowen vnto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached vnto you the forgiuenesse of sinnes.
Ndava muni valongo vitu tigana nyenye mumanya chakaka kuvya munjila ya Yesu, ujumbi wa kulekekesewa kumbudila Chapanga ukokoswa kwinu,
39 And from al things, from which ye could not be iustified by the Law of Moses, by him euery one that beleeueth, is iustified.
mundu yoyoha mweamsadika mwene ndi ilekekesewa kumbudila Chapanga kwoha, lijambu langahotoleka ndava ya kulanda Malagizu ga Bambu geampeli Musa.
40 Beware therefore lest that come vpon you, which is spoken of in the Prophets,
Mujiyangalila, gegajoviwi na vamlota va Chapanga gala gakotoka kuvakolela,
41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and vanish away: for I woorke a woorke in your daies, a woorke which yee shall not beleeue, if a man would declare it you.
‘Myuwanila, nyenye mwemuvi na likomo, mkangasayi na mfwayi! Muni chindu chenihenga hinu, mulusenje lwinu, yati musadika lepi hati ngati mundu avajovoli.’”
42 And when they were come out of the Synagogue of the Iewes, the Gentiles besought, that they woulde preach these woordes to them the next Sabbath day.
Pauli na Banaba pavawukili munyumba ya kuyupila Chapanga mula, vandu vala vakavagongolela vabwela Ligono la Kupumulila leligelekela, vavakangamalisa mambu gala.
43 Nowe when the congregation was dissolued, many of the Iewes and Proselytes that feared God, followed Paul and Barnabas, which spake to them, and exhorted them to continue in the grace of God.
Mngonganu wula pawamaliki Vayawudi vamahele na vandu vangali Vayawudi vevayingili njila ya kumuyupa Chapanga ya Vayawudi ndi vakavalanda Pauli na Banaba. Vene vakalongela nawu na kuvakangamalisa mitima vayendelela kutama kwa kuhuvalila ubwina wa Chapanga.
44 And ye next Sabbath day came almost the whole citie together, to heare the worde of God.
Ligono la Kupumulila lila lelagelekili kila mundu pamuji wula abwelili kuyuwanila Lilovi la Bambu.
45 But when the Iewes saw the people, they were full of enuie, and spake against those things, which were spoken of Paul, contrarying them, and railing on them.
Nambu Vayawudi pavawaweni vandu vamahele vakamema wihu, vakagabela malovi gaajovayi Pauli na vakamliga.
46 Then Paul and Barnabas spake boldly, and sayde, It was necessarie that the woorde of God shoulde first haue beene spoken vnto you: but seeing yee put it from you, and iudge your selues vnworthie of euerlasting life, loe, we turne to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
Pauli na Banaba vakalongela kwa ukekesi neju, “Yaganikiwi Lilovi la Chapanga litumbula kuvahikila hoti nyenye, nambu ndava mulibelili na kuvya nakuhotola kupokela wumi wa magono goha, hinu tikuvaleka na kuvahambila vandu vangali Vayawudi. (aiōnios g166)
47 For so hath the Lord commanded vs, saying, I haue made thee a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be the saluation vnto the end of the world.
Muni Bambu atilagazili aga, ‘Nikuviki lumuli lwa vandu va pamulima, muni vandu voha vasanguliwa pamilima yoha.’”
48 And when the Gentiles heard it, they were glad, and glorified the woorde of the Lord: and as many as were ordeined vnto eternall life, beleeued. (aiōnios g166)
Vandu vangali Vayawudi pevayuwini lijambu lila vakavya na luheku, vakaulumbalila ujumbi wa Bambu na vevahaguliwi vala kupewa na wumi wa magono goha wangali mwishu, vakavya vamsadika. (aiōnios g166)
49 Thus the worde of the Lord was published throughout the whole countrey.
Lilovi la Bambu ladandasiki kila pandu pamulima.
50 But the Iewes stirred certaine deuoute and honourable women, and the chiefe men of the citie, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coastes.
Nambu Vayawudi vakavakulukisa vadala vangali Vayawudi vevitopeswa vevakumuyupa Chapanga na vagosi vevimanyikana wa muji wula. Vakatumbula kuvang'aha Pauli na Banaba, vakavavinga vahuma pamuji wavi.
51 But they shooke off the dust of their feete against them, and came vnto Iconium.
Hinu vamitumi vala vakakung'unda lububu mumagendelu gavi kulangisa vabeli Lilovi la Bambu na vakahamba ku Ikonio.
52 And the disciples were filled with ioy, and with the holy Ghost.
Na vamsadika va ku Antiokia, ndi vamemiswi luheku na Mpungu Msopi.
