Iconium
1 And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.
Ikawa huko Ikonio wakaingia pamoja katika sinagogi la Wayahudi; na kwa vile walivyonena, kundi kubwa la Wayahudi na la Wayunani wakaamini.
2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren.
Walakini Wayahudi wasioamini wakawataharakisha watu wa Mataifa na kuwatia nia mbaya juu ya ndugu.
3 Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
Basi wakakaa huko wakati mwingi, wakinena kwa ushujaa katika Bwana, aliyelishuhudia neno la neema yake, akiwajalia ishara na maajabu yatendeke kwa mikono yao.
4 But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.
Lakini jamii ya watu wa mjini wakafarakana; hawa walikuwa upande wa Wayahudi, na hawa upande wa Mitume.
5 And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them,
Hata palipotokea shambulio la watu wa Mataifa na Wayahudi pamoja na wakubwa wao juu yao, kuwatenda jeuri na kuwapiga kwa mawe,
6 they were ware of it , and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about:
wao wakapata habari wakakimbilia Listra na Derbe, miji ya Likaonia, na nchi zilizo kando kando;
7 and there they preached the gospel.
wakakaa huko, wakiihubiri Injili.
Lystra
8 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:
Na huko Listra palikuwa na mtu mmoja, dhaifu wa miguu, kiwete tangu tumboni mwa mamaye, ambaye hajaenda kabisa.
9 the same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,
Mtu huyo alimsikia Paulo alipokuwa akinena; ambaye akamkazia macho na kuona ya kuwa ana imani ya kuponywa,
10 said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.
akasema kwa sauti kuu, Simama kwa miguu yako sawasawa. Akasimama upesi akaenda.
11 And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.
Na makutano walipoona aliyoyafanya Paulo wakapaza sauti zao, wakisema kwa Kilikaonia, Miungu wametushukia kwa mifano ya wanadamu.
12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercurius, because he was the chief speaker.
Wakamwita Barnaba, Zeu, na Paulo, Herme, kwa sababu ndiye aliyekuwa mnenaji.
13 Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.
Kuhani wa Zeu ambaye hekalu lake lilikuwa mbele ya mji, akaleta ng'ombe na taji za maua hata malangoni, akitaka kutoa dhabihu pamoja na makutano.
14 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of , they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,
Walakini mitume Barnaba na Paulo, walipopata habari, wakararua nguo zao, wakaenda mbio wakaingia katika makutano, wakipiga kelele,
15 and saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:
wakisema, Akina bwana, mbona mnafanya haya? Sisi nasi tu wanadamu hali moja na ninyi; twawahubiri habari njema, ili mgeuke na kuyaacha mambo haya ya ubatili na kumwelekea Mungu aliye hai, aliyeumba mbingu na nchi na bahari na vitu vyote vilivyomo;
16 who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.
ambaye zamani zilizopita aliwaacha mataifa yote waende katika njia zao wenyewe.
17 Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.
Lakini hakujiacha pasipo ushuhuda, kwa kuwa alitenda mema, akiwapeni mvua kutoka mbinguni, na nyakati za mavuno, akiwashibisha mioyo yenu chakula na furaha.
18 And with these sayings scarce restrained they the people, that they had not done sacrifice unto them.
Na kwa maneno hayo wakawazuia makutano kwa shida, wasiwatolee dhabihu.
Derbe
19 And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead.
Lakini Wayahudi wakafika toka Antiokia na Ikonio, wakawashawishi makutano hata wakampiga kwa mawe Paulo, wakamburuta nje ya mji, wakidhania ya kuwa amekwisha kufa.
20 Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.
Lakini wanafunzi walipokuwa wakimzunguka pande zote, akasimama, akaingia ndani ya mji; na siku ya pili yake akatoka, akaenda zake pamoja na Barnaba mpaka Derbe.
21 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and Antioch,
Hata walipokwisha kuihubiri Injili katika mji ule, na kupata wanafunzi wengi, wakarejea mpaka Listra na Ikonio na Antiokia,
22 confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
wakifanya imara roho za wanafunzi na kuwaonya wakae katika ile Imani, na ya kwamba imetupasa kuingia katika ufalme wa Mungu kwa njia ya dhiki nyingi.
23 And when they had ordained them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.
Na walipokwisha kuwachagulia wazee katika kila kanisa, na kuomba pamoja na kufunga, wakawaweka katika mikono ya Bwana waliyemwamini.
Antioch
24 And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.
Wakapita kati ya Pisidia wakaingia Pamfilia.
25 And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia:
Na baada ya kuhubiri lile neno katika Perge wakatelemka mpaka Atalia.
26 and thence sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been recommended to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.
Na kutoka huko wakaabiri kwenda Antiokia. Huko ndiko walikoombewa neema ya Mungu kwa ile kazi waliyokwisha kuitimiza.
27 And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles.
Hata walipofika wakalikutanisha kanisa, wakawaeleza mambo yote aliyoyafanya Mungu pamoja nao, na ya kwamba amewafungulia Mataifa mlango wa imani.
28 And there they abode long time with the disciples.
Wakaketi huko wakati usiokuwa mchache, pamoja na wanafunzi.
