1 Vanu vamonga kuhuma inyi lya Yudeya vakahele ku mwani va Anitokiya, navo vakali vakuvawulanicha vala vevamdikie Kilisito vakilonga, "Ngita semdumulwe bina kuhumila na Malagilicho gya Musa, semuwesa kuwokoliwa." 2 Paulo na Balinaba pevapulike lukani ulo vakakanile kuvadikila, kukahumile na malimbano makomi, vakahaguliwe Paulo na Balinaba pamwi na vanu vamonga lipinga lya vevamdikie Kilisito va Anitiokia vahele ku Yelusalemu kwa vanjagila na vagogolo neke vakaywange njowo icho.

3 Suwe, vala vanu vevamdikie Kilisito va Anitiokia vakavalagiliche Paulo na vayage, pevakali mu ng'asi vakachumbiliye ku Foiniki na Samaliya vakavahumulile vanu wuliwuli vanu se Vayawudi pevamwimdikie Kilisito. Njowo chila chikavakedusile hilo vanu vonda vevamdikie Kilisito. 4 Pevafikile ku Yelusalemu vakawanukwe na vanu vevamdikie Yesu na vanjagila pamwi na vagogolo, baho Paulo na Balinaba vakavahumulile finu fyonda Nguluvi fyeagitile pamwi navo. 5 Baho vanu vamonga vevamdikie Yesu va lipinga lya Mafalisayo vakahimile na kulonga, "Avo vanu se Vayawudi ving'ang'wa vadumulwe bina na vawulanichwe kufwata Malagilicho gya Musa."

6 Vanjagila na vagogolo vakatang'anile pamwi neke valikagule lukani ulo. 7 Pevaywangile hilo, Peteli akawime na kulonga, "Lukolo vangu, mwichela kuva kigono kya kwanja Nguluvi akanihaguwe kuhuma kwa nyenye kulanducha Njowo cha Yesu kwa vanu se Vayawudi vachipulike na kudikila njowo cha Yesu Kilisito. 8 Nave Nguluvi, yeichela numbula cha vanu, akawonise kuva ekuvakela kwa kuvagavila Muhe va Nguluvi ngita fila peatugavile nefwe. 9 Nguluvi seagitile umwilila wowonda pagiti lyetu na wene. Ila akavahechela sambi chawo, kwakuva vamdikie Yesu. 10 Nondee, wuli mwisaka kumgecha Nguluvi kwa kuvababicha vanu vevamdikie Yesu misigo misito ambagyo hata vagogolo vetu, vala nefwe setuwesa kugibaba? 11 Hamu, ila nefwe, ngita wene twidikila kuva twiokoliwa kwa usanzi lwa Mtwa Yesu Kilisito."

12 Lipinga lyonda lisigale jii, vakavapulikiche Paulo na Balinaba vakihumulila wuliwuli Nguluvi peavatange kugita fimanyilo na umanyitu kwa vanu se Vayawudi. 13 Pevamalile kuywanga, Yakobo akalongie, "Lukolo vangu, munipulikiche! 14 Simoni atuhumulile wuliwuli Nguluvi kwa mala lya kwanja peyiwonise kwa vanu se Vayawudi na kuyihaguliya vanu vamonga vaveche vanu vake. 15 Njowo ichi chiwana hilo na njowo cha vavichi va Nguluvi, ngita pegisimbilwe mu Masimbo ga Nguluvi.

16 Mtwa ilonga ndehe, ‘Pegichumba njowo ichi, ndiwuya,

na kuchenga kangi kaye lya Dawudi yeiguwe.

Dandichenga kangi mahame gyake,

na kwimicha unofu,

17 baho vanu vangi vonda davikwacha kwa nene,

na vanu vonda se Vayawudi yendivakemele vaveche va nene,

davakumsaka Mtwa,

18 ilonga Mtwa,

yeagitile njowo ichi, chichelilwe kuhuma daha.’"

19 Baho, Yakobo akaendeliye kulonga, "Uswitilicho vangu nde ugu tubihile kuvagudisa vanu se Vayawudi yevamsedukila Nguluvi kwa kuvalongela vafwate machovelo gyetu. 20 Ila tuvasimbiliye baluwa kuva vabihile kuliya finu fyefihechilwe usembe na kugitwa sevidikilwa mukumfunyila Nguluvi na valeke ugoni na vabihile kuliya vang'oko vevanyongilwe na kunyuwa danda. 21 Kwakuva chipindi chitali Malagilicho gya Musa gakali gidalikwa ku mwani yonda na kukwimbilwa mu kaye lya kufunyila Vayawudi gyonda kila kigono kya Kutulula."

22 Vanjagila na vagogolo pamwi na vavu vonda vevamdikie Yesu va Yelusalemu, vakaswitiliche kuvahagula vanu vamonga vawo kuvalagilicha ku Anitiokia pamwi na Paulo na Balinaba. Vakavahagule vanu vavili Yuda yeikemelwa Balisaba na Sila, yevakali vichelenika na vevamdikie Yesu, 23 na vakavalagilicha na vakavagavila baluwa yeilonga.

"Nefwe vanjagila na vavaha na lukolo vetu, tukuvahungila nyenye vanu se Vayawudi vevamdikie Yesu kuhuma ku Anitiokia na inyi lya Siliya na inyi lya Kilikiya. 24 Tupulike kuva vanu vamonga kuhuma kwa nefwe vakavasumbule kwa njowo chechikuvagudicha. Ila nefwe setuvalagiliche! 25 Ifyo tuswitiliche kwa pamwi kuvahagula vanu vamonga na kuvalagilicha kwa nyenye, pamwi na vakelwa vetu Balinaba na Paulo, 26 vene vakali hata kuyaganicha uwumi vawo, kwakuva lya Mtwa vetu Yesu Kilisito. 27 Kwa ifyo, tukuvalagicha Yuda na Sila, vene davavalongela ifi fyetusimbile. 28 Kwakuva imkeliye Muhe va Nguluvi nefwe tubihile kuvabebecha misigo gyogyonda kugina kwa makani aga geging'ang'wa kugitwa, 29 mbihile kuliya finu fyefihechelwe usembe kwa valungulu na mbihile kunyuwa danda na mbihile kuliya huchi lya mwang'oko yeaniyongilwe na mleke ugoni. Damuvecha mgitile unofu pemuchileka njowo ichi. Mkale unofu."

30 Ifyo vakalagilwe, vala vanjagila vakahele ku Anitiokia. Vakavakung'ese pamwi vanu vonda vevamdikie Yesu na vakavagavila yila baluwa. 31 Pevamalile kwimba yila baluwa, njowo chila chikavafaliji, vakakedukile hilo. 32 Yuda na Sila, navo vakali vavichi va Nguluvi, vakaywangile navo kwa chipindi chitali njowo chongofu cha kuvafaliji na kuvatanga vanu vevamdikie Yesu. 33 Pevakalile ukoya kwa chipindi chidodo, vala vanu va Anitiokia vevamdikie Yesu vakavalagile kwa lutengamaso, baho vakawuyile kwa vala yevavalagiliche. 34 Ila Sila akawonile ngiba asigale ukoya.

35 Ila Paulo na Balinaba vakasigale ukoya ku Anitiokia, vakavawulanicha na kudalika luchowo lwa Mtwa, pamwi na vanu vangi volofu.

36 Pafigono fidodo, Paulo akamlongie Balinaba, "Tuwuye tukavagendelele vala vanu vevamdikie Yesu kwa kila mwani petudalikige luchowo lwa Mtwa, tulole viendelea wuliwuli kumnjuma Nguluvi." 37 Balinaba akasakile valongochane na Yohani, yeachelinike kwa litawa lya Maliko, 38 ila Paulo seakelile kulongochana na Maliko kwakuva akawayile kuvaleka pevakali ukoya ku Pamifilia na akakanile kuendeliya kugita kasi navo. 39 Suwe, pakahumile na malimbano pagati lya Paulo na Balinaba mbaka vakalekana ng'asi. Balinaba akalongochane na Maliko vakang'ie wato, vakahele Kupilo, 40 ila Paulo akamuhaguwe Sila vakahegile, baada lya vala vanu vevamdikie Yesu kuvang'ang'ila usanzi va Mtwa. 41 Paulo akachumbile ku inyi lya Siliya na Kilikiya na kufikangamalisa fipinga fya vanu vevamdikie Yesu.
