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.
Lino muchikombelo mu Antiyokki, kwakali bamwi basinsimi abayiisi, Bakali Bbanabbasi, Simiyoni (utegwa Nayija), Lusiyasi waku Sayilini, Manayemi (mwananyina wa Helodi mu tetilaki) a Sawulo.
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.”
Nibakali kukomba Mwami Mwami akulyiimya kulya, Muuya Uusalala wakati, “Mundibambile bwanzeene Bbanabbasi a Sawulo, bachite mulimo oko nkundabayita.”
3 Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
Nibakamana kulyiimya kulya, kukomba, akubika maboko aabalumi aaba, bakabatuma kuzwa.
4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.
Nkinkako Bbanabbasi a Sawulo, kabali batumwa kunze a Muuya Uusalala, bayinka aansi ku Selusiya; kuzwa oko bakayamba kuya ku Seyipulasi.
5 When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed God’s word in the Jewish synagogues. They also had Yochanan as their attendant.
Nibakali mudolopo lya Salamasi, bakakambawuka ijwi Leza muzikombelo zyama Juuzi. Bakali a Joni Makki mbuli mugwasyi wabo.
6 When they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-Yeshua,
Nibakamana kwenda kasuwa koonse kusikila ku Pafosi, bakajana umwi mwalumi simusamu, musinsimi mubeji wechi Juda, wakalezina lyakuti Bbaa Jizasi.
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.
Oyu siminsamu wakalijisini amwendelezi wachisi, Sejiyasi Pawulasi, oyo wakali mwalumi musongo loko. Oyu mwalumi wakapa mulandu kuli Bbanabbasi a Sawulo, nkambo wakali kuyanda kumvwa ijwi lya Leza.
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
Pesi Elimasi “simisamu” (obu mbombubo mbulyakali kutolelekelwa izina lyakwe) wakabakazya; wakeezya kusanduula nzila yabeendelezi bachisi kuzwa kululusyomo.
9 But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him
Pesi Sawulo, uutegwa Pawulo alimwi, kazwide Muuya Uusalala, wakamulangisisya kapati
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?
akwamba kuti, “Iwee mwana satani, uzwide misyobo yoonse yalweno abulozi. Nduwe sinkondonyina wayoonse misyobo yabululami. Tokoyoleka pe kumonya inzila ziluleme zya Mwami, uyoleka na?
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.
Kwaino boona, kuboko kwa Mwami kuli atala alinduwe, alimwi uyooba moofu. Tokoyobona izuba kwakayindi.” Mpawawo Elimasi wakawidwa sikunkwe amudima; nakatalika kwendeenda kuyanduula bantu kuti bamukwele kuboko.
12 Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
Musule akubona zyakachitika mweendelezi wachisi, wakasyoma, nkaambo wakagamba kukuyiisigwa aatala a Mwami.
13 Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. Yochanan departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
Lino Pawulo abeenzinyina bakatalika kuyamba kuzwa ku Pafosi akuza ku Pega mu Pamfuliya. Pesi Joni wakabasiya alimwi wabweeda ku Jelusalema.
14 But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.
Pawulo abenzinyina bakeenda kuzwa ku Pega akusikila ku Antiyokki yaku Pisidiya. Oko bakanjila muchikombelo mubuzuba butegwa Sabata akukkala ansi.
15 After the reading of the Torah and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak.”
Musule akubalwa kwamulawu abasinsiimi, bazuluzi bechikombelo bakabatumina mulayizyo, kabati, “Nobakwesu, kuti kamujisi mulayiizyo wakusungwazya kubantu bali aano, amuwambe.”
16 Paul stood up, and gesturing with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.
Nkiinkako Pawulo wakimikila akuumuzya akuboko kwakwe; wakati, “Nobalumi bamu Izilayeli andinywe nimulemeka Leza, amumvwe.
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.
Leza wabantu aba ba Izilayeli wakasala bamataata akuchita bantu kuti bavule awo nibakakkede munyika ya Ijiputi, alimwi akuboko kunyampwidwe wakabazulwida kuzwa munyika njiyo.
18 For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.
Kwaminyaka ilimbuli makumi oone wakakkala ambabo munkanda mulusaka. Amwi malembe aansiku awamba boobu, kwamyaaka ilimbuli makumi one wakabalela mulusaka na loonde.
19 When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land for an inheritance for about four hundred and fifty years.
Musule akujaya izisi zili musanu azibili munyika ya Kkenani, wakapa bantu besu inyika yabo kuti bakkone.
20 After these things, he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.
Zyonse inchito ezi zyakachitika mumyaaka myanda yone amakumi musanu. Musule azintu zyonse ezi, Leza wakabapa babetesi mane kwazoba Samiyele musinsimi.
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.
Mpawo bantu bakakumbila Mwami, alimwi Leza wakabapa Sawulo mwana wa Kkishi mulombe, mwalumi uzwa kumusyobo wa Bbenjamini, kuti aabe mwami kwamyaaka makumi one.
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.’
Musule akuti Leza wamugwisya mubwami, wakanyampula Deviti kuti abe ngomwami wabo. Kwakali atala a Deviti mwana wa Jese mulombe kali mwalumi utobela moyo wangu, kuchita zyoonse nzyendiyanda kuti achite.'
23 From this man’s offspring, God has brought salvation to Israel according to his promise,
Kuzwa kulunyungu lwayooyu mwalumi Leza weeta mufutuli, Jesu, mbuli mbwakasyomezya kuyochita.
24 before his coming, when Yochanan had first preached the immersion of repentance to Israel.
Kakutana kuba kuboola kwa Jesu, oyo Joni ngwakakambawuka atala alubbabbatizyo lwakulilesya kubantu boonse ba Izilayeli.
25 As Yochanan 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.’
Awo Joni nakali kumaninsya mulimo wakwe, wakati, 'Muyeeya kuti ndimeni? Teensi ndime oyo pe. Pesi muswilizye, nguumwi uza musule lyangu uuli aansapato zyakumawulu nzyesyeleli kumwangununa pe.'
26 “Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those amongst you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to you.
Nobakwesu, bana bamulongo wa Abbulahamu, abaabo bali mukati kenu balemeka Leza, zili kuli ndiswe kuti mulumbe walufutuko olu watumizigwa.
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.
Nkaambo aabo bakkala mu Jelusalemu abazuluzi abasinsimi tebakamuziba pe, alimwi bakazuzikizya ayo majwi abasinsimi ayo abalwa mumasabata woonse akumuniaka.
28 Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
Nikuba kuti tebakajana kaambo kamwelo wakujiigwa bakayita Pilato kuti amujaye.
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.
Nibakamaninsya zyonse zintu zyakalembedwe atala anguwe, bakamuseluzya amunsamu akumulazika muchuumbwe.
30 But God raised him from the dead,
Pesi Leza wakamubusya kuzwa kubafu.
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.
Wakaboneka kwamazuba miingi ababo bakali baza awe kuzwa ku Galili kuya ku Jelusalemu. Aba bantu lino baba bakamboni bakwe kubantu.
32 We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,
Nkiinkako tuli kumwambila makani mabotu, ichisyomezyo chakaza kumataata
33 that God has fulfilled this to us, their children, in that he raised up Yeshua. As it is also written in the second psalm, ‘You are my Son. Today I have become your father.’
watuzuzikizizya iswe, abana babo, mukubusya Jesu. Mbuli mbukulembedwe muli Ntembawuzyo: 'Uli mwana wangu mulombe, sunu ndaba Wuso.'
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.’
Mukuti wakamubusya kuzwa kubafu tachibwedeli pe, Leza wakambuula muli eyi inzila: 'Ndiyomupa izisalala alimwi zyanchoonzyo zilongezyo zyakasyomezegwa kuli Deviti.'
35 Therefore he says also in another psalm, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’
Nkinkako nchawamba lubo muli imwi Intembawuzyo, 'Tokoyozumizya Musalalai wako pe kuti akabone kubola.'
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.
Nkambo awo Daviti nakali wabelekela ziyandisyo zya Leza muzyalane lyakwe mwini, wakoona ing'onzi; wakalazikwa amwi awisi alimwi mubili wakwe wakamvwa kubola.
37 But he whom God raised up saw no decay.
Pesi kuloyo ngwakabusya Leza takwepe nakamvwa kubola.
38 Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins;
Nkinkako leka chizibinkane kuli ndinywe, bakwesu, kuti kwinda muli oyu mwalumi kuli kambawukidwe kuli ndinywe ilu lekelelo lwa zibi.
39 and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the Torah of Moses.
Kuli nguwe woonse muntu usyoma ulilulamikidwe kuzwa kuzintu zyonse ezyo mulawu wa Mozesi nziwakakachilwa kukululamika.
40 Beware therefore, lest that come on you which is spoken in the Prophets:
Elyo nkinkaako mubone kuti chakaambwa abasinsimi tazichitiki pe kuli ndinywe.
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.’”
'Amubone, nobadyamizi, alimwi mugambe alimwi mufwe mpawo: Nkambo ndili kweeta mulimo mumazuba eenu, imulimo ngomutakabule kusyoma pe, nikuba kuti umwi muntu wawambilizya kuli ndinywe.”
42 So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.
Awo Pawulo a Bbanabbasi nibakeenda, bantu bakabakumbila kuti bazowambe lubo majwi nyayaayo musabata iitobela.
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.
Niwakamana muswangano wachikombelo, bwingi bwaba Juda abasikulipeda bakatobela Pawulo a Bbanabbasi, aabo bakambuula abo akubasungwazya kuti bayinkilile anumbo muluzyalo lwa Leza.
44 The next Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.
Mubuzuba ibutegwa Sabata yakatobela, kubanga idolopo lyonse lyakali bungene antoomwe kuti bamvwe ijwi lya Mwami.
45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.
Awo ba Juda nibakabona lubunga lwabantu, bakazula bbivwe akwambuula kabakazya zintu zyakaambwa a Pawulo akumutukila.
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)
Pesi Pawulo a Bbanabbasi bakambuula chamanguzu kabti, “Kwakeelede kuti ijwi lya Leza kalyaambwa kusanguna kuli ndinywe. Mukubona kuti mula litabulula kuzwa kulindinywe akulibona kamuteeledwe buumi bulakujulu, amubone, tuyobweeda kuli basizibi. (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.’”
Nkambo mbombubo mbatulayilila Mwami, wati, “Ndasala mbuli mumuni wabasizibi, kuti mweete lufutuko kumasena akunze anyika.”
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)
Awo basizibi nibakamvwa echi, bakabotelwa akusalazya ijwi lya Mwami. Mbuli biingi bakasalwa kubuumi bwakujulu bakasyoma. (aiōnios g166)
49 The Lord’s word was spread abroad throughout all the region.
Ijwi lya Mwami lyakendelezegwa muchengelelo choonse.
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.
Pesi ba Juda bakeenena banakazi balipedelede kubwime bwajulu abalumi bazuluzi badolopo. Bakasungwaazya kusyonsegwa kwa Pawulo a Bbanabbasi akubagwisya muchenelelo chabo.
51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
Pesi Pawulo a Bbanabbasi bakakunkumuna lusuko kuzwa kumawulu aabo mukukazyania ambabo. Mpawo bakaya kudolopo lyaku Ikkoniyamu.
52 The disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
Alimwi basikwiiya bakazuzigwa alukondo alimwi a Muuya Uusalala.
