Acts 13

1 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

Linu mwi kereke ya Antiyoke, kuvena vaporofita ni maruti. Vavali Barnabasi, Simiyoni (Niga), Lusiyasi wa kwa Sirene ni Manaeni (yavali mulikani wa kuvu hwile wa Heroda we tetarachi) ni Saule.

2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Separate for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.

Havavali kukwete ku zimba niku lumbeka Simwine nikuli nyima zilyo, Luho Lujolola chi lwawamba kuti, “Munivikile kumbali Barnabasi ni Saule, vapange musevezi univa vasumpili”.

3 And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

Havamane ku linyima zilyo ni kulapela, chiva vavika mayanza avo hava vakwame, niva va tuma.

4 So they, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, departed to Seleucia; and from there they sailed to Cyprus.

Mi Barnabasi ni Saule vavali kuteki Luhuho Lujolola chiba yenda kusezumuka kwa Silusiya; kuzwaho chi vayenda cha chisepe mu chiwoli cha Sipurasi.

5 And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John as their helper.

Hava vena mwi toropo ya Salamisi, chiva kutaza linzwi lya Simwine mu masinagoge a Majuda. Vavena ni Joani Mareka avali mutusi wavo.

6 And when they had gone through the isle to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Barjesus:

Linu hava valiku yenda muchiwoli choonse cha Pafosi, chi vawana mukwame wa mavivo, muporofita wa mapa wa Mujuda; izina lyakwe avali nji Bar- Jesu.

7 Who was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.

Uzu iñanga yavali kwina chizwale kumuyendisi wa chikiliti Sergiusi Paulusi, mukwame yavali kutalifite. Cha ngongota Barnbasi ni Saule, kakuti avali kusaka kuzuwa inzwi lye Ireeza.

8 But Elymas the sorcerer ( for so is his name by interpretation ) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.

Kono Elimasi, “wa mavivo” (bulyo inzina lyakwe mulivali kutolokelwa) chalika kuvakanisa, chalika ku kuzwisa muyendisi mwi ntumelo.

9 Then Saul, ( who also is called Paul, ) filled with the Holy Spirit, set his eyes on him,

Kono Saule yavali kusumpwi Paulusi, yave zwile Luho Lujolola, chamu lola kakumu luvukila.

10 And said, O full of all deceit and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

ni chati, “Iwe mwana wa muswisu wa Javulusi, wizwile vuchengi ni muhupulo muvi. U chila chenzila zonse za kuruka. Kete nosiye kutenzeka inzila ziwolokete za Simwine, ko siye?

11 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.

Hanu ulole, iyanza lya Simwine lina hewulu lyako, mi move u chivofu. Kente uvone izuva mwi nakozana”. Hahobulyo cha wilwa kavundu ni kafifi; chakala kuzimbuluka ni kukumpila vantu kuti bamukwate kwiyanza.

12 Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.

Linu muyendisi havona bulyo ku chiva tendahali, cha zumina, kakuti ava komokiswa ka mulutilo kaza Simwine.

13 Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.

Haho Paulusi ni va valikani vakwe chiva lilonga niku zuha kuzwa mwa Pafosi ni kwiza mwa Perga yamwa Pamfilia. Kono Joani cha vasiya ni kuvola kwa Jerusalema.

14 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.

Paulusi ni valikani chivayenda kwa Perga ni kwiza kwa Antiyoke ya Pisidia. Umo chi vayenda mu masinagoge mwizuva lye Nsavata ni kwi kala hansi.

15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Men, brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.

Ha kumanwa kuvala za mulawo ni vaporofita, mi vayendi va ma masinagoge chiva tumina iñusa libalikuti, “Mizwale, chikwina liñusa lya kulisusuweza kuamana ni vantu vena hanu, mui wamba.”

16 Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, listen.

Mi Paulusi cha zimana ni kunyanganisa iyanza; ni kuti, “Bakwame va Isiraele ni nwe mutompa Ireeza, mutekeleze.

17 The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm he brought them out of it.

Ireeza wa vaantu va Isiraele avaketi waveshetu ventanzi mi ava pangi chisi chivekali mwi nkanda ya Egapita, mi cheyanza lyakwe lina mata avava zwisi mwateni.

18 And about the time of forty years he bore their manners in the wilderness.

Ka zilimo za makumi one nakwate inkulo yakwe chabo mwihalaupa.

19 And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he divided their land to them by lot.

Kuzwaaho ne haya mishobo ivali kukwana iyanza ni yobele mwinkanda ya Kanana, chaha vaantu vetu inkanda yavo kuti ive chiyolo.

20 And after these things, which took about four hundred and fifty years, he gave to them judges, until Samuel the prophet.

Zonse zintu ziva pangahali mu zilimo zina myanda yone ni zilimo zichita makumi eyanza. Hakumana zonse izo zintu, Ireeza na vaha vaatuli mane kusika muporofita Samwele.

21 And afterward they desired a king: and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.

Linu vaantu chi vavuza Simwine, mi Ireeza na vaha Saule mwana wa Kishi, mukwame yavali kuzwa mulusika lwa Benjamine; kuva simwine ka zilimo za makumi one.

22 And when he had removed him, he raised up to them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, who shall fulfil all my will.

Kuzwa aho Ireeza na muzwisa havu simwine, Na zimika Davida kuti ave simwine wavo. Avali nji Davida wava wambi Ireeza, 'Na wana Davida mwana wa Jese, ave mukwame wina kwinkulo yangu, u tenda zonse zini suni kuti azitende.'

23 Of this man’s seed hath God according to his promise raised up to Israel a Saviour, Jesus:

Kuzwa mulusika lozu mukwame Ireeza na letela Isilaele muhazi, Jesu, sina kamwa vasepisize ku tenda.

24 After John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

Ichi chivakali kutendahala lili, pili Jesu na seni kusika, Joani sapili avezivahazi ze nkolovezo ya kuvaka ku vantu vonse va Isiraele.

25 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not he. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.

Aho Joani avali kumaniniza mutendo wakwe, chata kuti, 'Uzeza kuti njeme ini? Kanjime uzo. Kono mutekeleze, uzo yokezite mumasule angu, makatulo aku matende akwe kani swaneli ku a sumununa.”

26 Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

Vamwangu, vaana vazwa muluzuvo lwa Abrahama, navo mukati kenu valapela Ireeza, nji kwetu uwu mulaezo we mpuluso ku uvatuminwa.

27 For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the words of the prophets which are read every sabbath, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.

Linu avo vahala mwa Jerusalema, niva yendisi vavo, kena vava mulemuhi, mi nive zuzilikiza zivali kuwambiwa kuva porofita kakuti zi valiwa i Nsabata ni NSabata zivali za kumunyasa.

28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet they desired Pilate that he should be put to death.

Nihakuba vulyo kena vava wani ivaka ilotu liyelele ifu lyakwe, niva kumbila Pilato kuti amwihaya.

29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written concerning him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.

Havamana ku tenda zintu zonse zi ñoletwe zi amana naye, chiba mususa kwi samu, ni ku mulalika mwi vita.

30 But God raised him from the dead:

Kono Ireeza na muvusa ku vafwile.

31 And he was seen many days by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.

Ava vonahali kamazuva mangi ku vonse vavali kwiza naye kuzwa kwa Galileya kuya kwa Jerusalema. Avo vaantu nahanu vavavi impaki zakwe ku vaantu.

32 And we declare to you the glad tidings, that the promise which was made to the fathers,

Linu tuka miletete mulayezo mulotu we nsepiso iva tendahali kuva zazi ventazi.

33 God hath fulfilled the same to us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

Ireeza ave zuzilizi insepiso kwetu, vana vavo, mukuti vulyo ava avavusi Jesu kumuvoza kuvuhala. Sina haku ñoletwe mwa Lisamu wa vu veli: 'U mwanangu, sunu nava njime veso.

34 And as concerning that he raised him from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he said in this way, I will give you the sure mercies of David.

Hape cha vuniti bwakuti avamuvusi ku bafwile ili kuti muvili wakwe kanzi uvoli, cha wamba buti: “Kani kuhe kujolola ni mboyoti zeniti za Davida.'

35 Therefore he saith also in another psalm, Thou shalt not allow thy Holy One to see corruption.

Izi njizi vawambiwa muzumwi Lisamu, 'Kente uzuminine vako va jolola kuvola.'

36 For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, and was laid to his fathers, and saw corruption:

Kuzwa aho Davida hava ni lusika lwakwe ava valekeli intakazo ya Ireeza, cha lala mi na lalikiwa ni vesi, mi ava voni kuvoli,

37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.

kono uzo Ireeza ya vuse kente na vone kuvola.

38 Be it known to you therefore, men, brethren, that through this man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins:

Linu musiye izizintu zi zivahale kwenu, vakwangu, mozu mukwame ku kwizibaheze kwenu kuwondelwa kwe zivi.

39 And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

Kakwe yense yozumina kwali mwalukululwe muzintu zonse za milawo ya Mushe usena uvali kulukulula.

40 Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken in the prophets;

Imi haho mutokomele kuti zintu maporofita zi vavali kuwamba kanzi zitendahali kwenu:

41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall by no means believe, though a man declare it to you.

'Muvone, inwe vanyazeleza, mu mukomokwe mane musinyehe; Kakuti ni tenda mutendo mu mazuva anu, mutendo usete ni muzumine, ni haike muntu niha wiziva haza kwenu.”

42 And when the Jews had gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.

Imi Paulusi ni Barnabasi havakatuka, vaantu chi vava kumbila ahulu kuti ni vawole kuwamba izo ziwambo ziswana mwi Nsabata ikeza.

43 Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

Linu mukopano mu masigoge hau mana, vungi bwa maJuda ni ma Sandika chive chilila Paulusi ni Barnabasi, vava wambi kubali ni kuva susuweza kuti bazwile habusi ni chisemo che Ireeza.

44 And the next sabbath came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.

Kulye Nsabata lichilila, ha haho itoropo yonse ivakopani hamwina kwiza kuzuwa inzwi lya Simwine.

45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spoke against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.

Mi maJuda havavona chisi, chive njililwa muuna ni kuwamba zivilala kwineku lya Paulusi ni kumutuka.

46 Then Paul and Barnabas became bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you: but seeing ye reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)

Kono Paulusi ni Barnabasi chi wamba ni basatiyi, “Kuwoleka kuti inzwi lye Ireeze liwambwe sapili kwenu. Kulolelela mumu liñahikila kule nanwe ni kulihinda inwe muvene kuti kamuswaneli vuhalo bwakuya kwile, muvone katu vole kuva kuhanze. (aiōnios g166)

47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation to the ends of the earth.

Linu Simwine avatu leyeli, kakuta kuti, 'Ni vamiviki umo sina kaliseli ku va hanze, kuti mulete impuluso ku zibaka zonse cha hansi.”'

48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)

Mi bakuhanze hava zuwabulyo, chi vasanga ni kutanga kutemba inzwi lya Simwine. Sina vungi havava ketelwe kuvuhalo vusa mani chiba zumina. (aiōnios g166)

49 And the word of the Lord was proclaimed throughout all the region.

Inzwi lye Ireeza chilya hasana mu chisi chonse

50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their land.

Kono maJuda chiva susuweza vanakazi ba tompeha ni kukola, mane vulyo ni vakwame vayendisa itoropo. Izo chizi wekeza ku nyandisa Paulusi ni Barnabasi ni vasohela hanze kule kwenyinza ye toropo.

51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.

Kono Paulusi ni Barnabasi chiba ba kukumwini isuko kumatende avo kuvali. Linu chi vayenda kwi toropo ya Ikone.

52 And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Spirit.

Mi barutwana vavali kwizwile kusanga ni cha Luho Lujolola.
