Acts 13
1 Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
Itungili mi itekeelo nila ku Antiokia, ai akoli ang'wi a anyakidagu ni a ng'walimu. Ai atulaa Barnaba, Simioni (nai witang'waa Nigeri), Lukio nua ku Krene, Manaeni (muluna ni shanga nua sakami nuang'wa Herode mutongeeli nua mukoa), nu Sauli.
2 As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them.”
Nai atulaa akumukulya uMukulu nu kudila kulya, uNg'wau Ng'welu ai uligitilye, “Nkomatuilyi kumpelo uBarnaba nu Sauli, itume u mulimo naza ni itangie”
3 Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
Ze yakilaa i itekeelo kudila kulya, kulompa, nu kuika i mikono ao migulya a antu awa, aka aleka alongole.
4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.
Ku lulo uBarnaba nu Sauli ai amukuiye u Ng'wau Ng'welu nu kusima kutunga ku Seleukia; Kupuma kung'wanso ai atungile u muhinzo mu luzi kutunga i kizonzo nika Kipro.
5 When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed God’s word in the Jewish synagogues. They also had John as their attendant.
Nai akatula mu kisali nika Salami, Ai alutanantilye u lukani nulang'wa Itunda mu matekeelo a Ayahudi. Ai atulaa palung'wi ga nu Yohana Marko anga muailya nuao.
6 When they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar Jesus,
Nai akalongola mu kizonzo kihi kupikiila ku Pafo, ai ahangile muntu nua kituunga mulogi, Muyahudi munyakidagu nua uteele, naiza i lina nilakwe ai latulaa Bar Yesu.
7 who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.
uMulogi uyu ai wihanguie nu Lawi Sergio Paulus, nai watulaa muntu munyamahala. Muntu uyu ai uanile uBarnaba nu Sauli, ku nsoko ai uloilwe kija u lukani nulang'wa Itunda.
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
Kuiti Elima “uyo u mulogi” (iti uu i lina nilkwe nai limpyanigwe) ai ua kingie, ai ugemile kumupiula uyo u liwali wapume mu uhuiili.
9 But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him
Kuiti uSauli nai witangwa Paulo, ai watulaa wizuigwe u Ng'wau Ng'welu, akamukunkuila i miho
10 and said, “You son of the devil, full of all deceit and all cunning, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
nu kuligitya “Uewe ng'wana nua mulugu, wizuigwe ni mpyani yihi nia uteele nu unyeku. U ewe ingi wi mulugu nua kia mpyani nia tai ane. Shanga ukuleka kuipiula i nzila nia Mukulu, ni igolokile, itii ukuhuma?
11 Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season!” Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
“Itungili goza, u mukono nua Mukulu ukoli migulya ako, hangi ukutula wi mupoku. Shanga ukihenga ilyoa ku itungo” nkua ing'wi ikunguguu ni kiti ai igwie migulya a Elimas; akandya kupilima papo wazelompa antu amutongeele kumuamba u mukono.
12 Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
Ze yakilaa u liwali kihenga nai kipumie, ai uhuiie, ku nsoko ai ukuiwe ku umanyisigwa kutula Mukulu.
13 Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
Itungili uPaulo ni ahumbauya akwe ai alongoe muhinzo mu mazi kupuma ku Pafo hangi akapika ku Perge mu Pamfilia. Kuiti uYohana ai ua lekile nu kusuka ku Yerusalemu.
14 But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.
uPaulo ni ahumbauya akwe ai atungile u muhinzo kupuma ku Perge nu kupika ku Antiokia a ku Pisidia. Uko ai alongoe mi itekeelo luhiku nula kusupya nu kikie pihi.
15 After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak.”
Ze yakilaa kusoma i ilagiilyo nu unyakidagu, atongeeli ni itekeelo ai ualagiiye utung'waa wazeligitya, “Anya ndugu, anga ize mukete u utuung'wa nua kuhumya insula antu apa, muligitye.”
16 Paul stood up, and gesturing with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.
Ku lulo uPaulo ai wimikile nu kuanyansuila u mukono; ai uligitilye, “Itunja a ku Israeli nu nyenye ni mimukulya Itunda, tegeelyi.
17 The God of this people chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as aliens in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it.
Itunda nua awa i antu nia Israeli ai uaholanilye i a tata itu nu kuazipya antu idu nai ikie mi ihi a Misri, nu ku mukono nuakwe kunyansulwa ai uatongee kunzi akwe.
18 For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.
Ku myaka makumi anne ai uagigimiiye mi ibambazi.
19 When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land for an inheritance for about four hundred fifty years.
Ze yakilaa kumabipya i maingu mutandatu mi ihi a Kanaani, ai uinkiiye i antu itu ihi ao ku usali.
20 After these things, he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.
Maintu aya ihi ai apumie ikilo i myaka magana anne ni makumi a taano. Ze yakilaa i intu izi yihi, Itunda ai uinkiiye alamuli kupikiila uSamweli munyakidagu.
21 Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
Ze yakilaa aya, antu ai alompile u mutemi, iti Itunda ai uinkiiye uSauli ng'wana wang'wa Kushi, muntu nua ndugu ang'wa Benjameni, kutula mutemi ku myaka makumi anne,
22 When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’
Uugwa ze yakilaa Itunda akamuheja mu utemi akamunyansula uDaudi kutula mutemi nuao. Ai ituile ingi kutula uDaudi kina Itunda ai uligitilye, 'Namulijaa uDaudi ng'wana nuang'wa Yese kutula muntu nuiloeigwe ni nkolo ane; naiza ukituma kila ikintu nikindoile,'
23 From this man’s offspring, God has brought salvation to Israel according to his promise,
Kupuma mu ndugu a muntu uyu Itunda umiletee i Israeli muguni, uYesu, anga nai ulagile kituma.
24 before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to Israel.
Ili landiiye kupumila, ze ikili uYesu kupembya, uYohana ng'wandyo ai utanantilye wogigwa nua kila itunu ku antu ihi nia Israeli.
25 As John was fulfilling his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, one comes after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’
Nu ng'wenso uYohana nai wakatula ukumailya mulimo nuakwe, ai uligitilye, 'Musigile unene ni nyenyu? unene shanga ingi uyo. Kuiti tegeelyi, nupembilye kituli kane, nimugila u uhumi nua kutolya i ilatu nia migulu akwe,'
26 “Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to you.
Anyandugu, Ana andugu ang'wa Abrahamu, ni awo naza mu kati anyu mi mipoelya Itunda, ingi ku nsoko itu kina ikani nila ugunwa lilagiigwe.
27 For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they didn’t know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.
Ku awo ni ikie ku Yersalemu, ni atemi ao, shanga ai amulingile ku kulu kuulu, ni ang'wi shanga ai alulingile u lukani nula anyakidagu naza lisong'wa kila luhiku nula kusupya; ku lulo ai apikiiye u lukani nula anyakidagu ku kumulamula insha uYesu.
28 Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
Anga itule shanga ai aligilye i nsoko ni nziza ku nsha mukati akwe, ai amulompile uPilato wamubulage.
29 When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.
Nai akamala imakani ihi nai akilisigwe kutula nuanso, ai amusimilye kupuma mikota nu kumulalya mu kibiila.
30 But God raised him from the dead,
Kuiti Itunda akamiusha kupuma mu ashi,
31 and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.
Ai wigeelekile ku mahiku idu ku awo nai alongoe palung'wi nu ng'wenso kupuma ku Galilaya kulongola ku Yerusalemu, Antu awa itungili ingi akuiili nia antu.
32 We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,
Iti gwa ku umuletela nkani ni nkende kutula ilago nai inkiigwe i isekulu itu.
33 that God has fulfilled this to us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, ‘You are my Son. Today I have become your father.’
Itunda ai uikile imalago aya kitaitu, ana ao, mu nilanso ai umiukilye uYesu nu kumususha hangi mu upanga. Ili ga likilisigwe mu malumbiilyo a kabiili; 'Uewe ingi ng'wana nuane, lelo natulaa ni Tata nuako,'
34 “Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.’
Ga ni kutula i tai ingi kina ai umiukilye kupuma kuashi iti kina muili nuakwe uleke kubipa, uligitilye iti; 'Nikakinkiilya u welu nu ukende kulu kuulu nuang'wa Daudi.'
35 Therefore he says also in another psalm, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’
Iyi yiyo nsoko waligitya ga mu malumbiilyo ni ma ngiiza, 'Shanga ukulekela u ng'welu nuako kihenga i kiolu.'
36 For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, was laid with his fathers, and saw decay.
Ku nsoko ze yakilaa u Daudi ku uaiilya u ulowa nuang'wa Itunda mu ulelwa nuakwe, ai ulae, akalalikigwa palung'wi ni a tata akwe, hangi ai uihengile u ubipigwa.
37 But he whom God raised up saw no decay.
Kuiti nai wiukigwe nu Itunda shanga ai uihengile u ubipigwa.
38 Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins;
Iti gwa ni ilingike kitalanyu, anya ndugu, ku kiila muntu uyu, ulekelwa nua milandu watanantigwa.
39 and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Ku nuanso kila nu uhuiie wia iligwaa tai ane ni makani ihi niiza ilagiilyo nilang'wa Musa shanga ai lizee inkiilya i tai ane.
40 Beware therefore, lest that come on you which is spoken in the prophets:
Iti gwa ila tuli miakendegeeli kina i kintu nai akiganue i anyakidagu kileke kupumila kitalanyu;
41 ‘Behold, you scoffers! Wonder and perish, for I work a work in your days, a work which you will in no way believe, if one declares it to you.’”
Goza, unye adi ni mimelaa, hangi mende mukuilwe hangi mende mulimiligwe; ku iti kituma u mulimo mu mahiku anyu, Mulimo niiza shanga muhumile ku uhuiila, anga ga nu muntu wikumuganuila.”
42 So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.
Matungo uPaulo nu Barnaba nai akahega, antu aka alompa aligitye i makani aya luhiku nula kusupya nu luzile.
43 Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
Matungo ianza nili tekeelo nai likaula, Ayahudi idu ni aokole akomu ai a atyatile uPaulo nu Barnaba, naza aligitilye ni enso hangi ai a asamiiye alongole mu ukende nu ang'wa Itunda.
44 The next Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.
Luhiku nula kusupya nai lutyatile, pakupi kisali kihi ai kilingiie kija u lukani lang'wa Itunda.
45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.
Ayahudi nai akihenga iumbi, ai izuiwe nu wilu nu kuligitya makani nai akingie i intu nai itambuwe nu Paulo hangi ai amutukie.
46 Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, “It was necessary that God’s word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from yourselves, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
Kuiti uPaulo nu Barnaba ai atambue ku ukamatiku nu kuligitya, “Ai yatulaa ingulu kina lukani nu lang'wa Itunda luganulwe hanza kitalanyu. Kunsoko mukulu suntiilya kuli kupuma kitalanyu nu kiona kina shanga muhiiye kutula nu upanga nua kali na kali, kendegeeli kuapilukila i anyaingu. (aiōnios g166)
47 For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, ‘I have set you as a light for the Gentiles, that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.’”
Anga niiza uMukulu ukulagiiye, azeligitya, 'Numuikile unyenye anga welu ku antu a ingu, kina mulete u ugunwa ku nkika yihi ni yihi.”
48 As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of God. As many as were appointed to eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)
Anya ingu na akija ili, ai iloile nu kulu lumbiilya u lukani nula Mukulu. Idu nai aholanigwe ku upanga nua kali na kali ai ahuiie. (aiōnios g166)
49 The Lord’s word was spread abroad throughout all the region.
Lukani nula Mukulu ai lenee ihi ihi
50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders.
Kuiti Ayahudi ai a asingilye nai ipumilye ni asungu ni angulu, ga ni atongeeli a kisali. Aya ai akinyie u lwago kung'wa Paulo nu Barnaba hangi ai a agumile kunzi a mimbi nia kisali.
51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
Kuiti uPaulo nu Barnaba ai akununtile u lunkundi nula migulu ao. Uugwa akalongola mu kisali nika Ikonia.
52 The disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
Ni amanyisigwa ai izuiwe nu ulowa palung'wi nu Ng'wau Ng'welu.
