15 Mpindieu bantu bakuabu bakalua bafumina ku Yudaya ne bakatuadija kulongesha bana betu ne: “Nuenu kanuyi batengudibue bilondeshile tshilele tshia Mose,+ kanuena mua kupandishibua to.”
2 Kadi pakajuka ditapuluka ne dikokangana dikole pankatshi pabu bobu ne Paulo ne Bânaba, bakalongolola bua Paulo ne Bânaba ne bamue ba kudibu babande kudi bapostolo ne bakulu ku Yelushalema+ bua tshilumbu etshi.*
3 Nunku bena mu tshisumbu bamane kubashindikija tshitupa tshia njila, bantu aba bakatungunuka, kupitshilabu mu Foinike ne mu Samalea, benda balondela bantu bualu bua dikudimuna dia mutshima dia bantu ba bisamba bikuabu ne basankisha bana betu bonso bikole.
4 Pakafikabu ku Yelushalema, bakabakidila bimpe kudi tshisumbu ne bapostolo ne bakulu, kulondabu malu a bungi avua Nzambi muenze ku butuangaji buabu.
5 Kadi bamue bantu ba mu kasumbu ka Bafalese bakavua balue bena kuitabuja bakajuka mu nkuasa yabu, kuambabu ne: “Bidi bikengela kubatengula ne kubatumina dîyi bua batumikile Mikenji ya Mose.”+
6 Nunku bapostolo ne bakulu bakadisangisha pamue bua kukonkonona tshilumbu etshi.
7 Bobu bamane kuyukila* bikole menemene, Petelo wakajuka, kubambilaye ne: “Balumiana, bana betu, nudi bamanye bimpe ne: katshia ku matuku a ku ntuadijilu, Nzambi uvua muenze disungula munkatshi muenu bua bantu ba bisamba bikuabu bumvuile dîyi dia lumu luimpe mukana muanyi ne bitabuje.+
8 Kadi Nzambi udi mumanye muoyo wa muntu+ wakafila tshijadiki pavuaye mubapeshe nyuma muimpe*+ anu bu muvuaye mutupeshe petu.
9 Bualu bukuabu, kavua muleje dishilangana nansha dikese pankatshi petu nabu to,+ kadi wakalengeja mioyo yabu ku diambuluisha dia ditabuja.+
10 Nunku bua tshinyi nudi nuteta Nzambi panudi nuteka mutshi wa tshikokedi pa nshingu ya bayidi,+ uvua bankambua betu anyi tuetu bine katuyi bakokeshe mua kuambula?+
11 Kadi tudi ne ditabuja ne: tudi tupandishibua ku ngasa wa Mukalenge Yezu+ anu mudibu bapandishibua pabu.”+
12 Ke bantu bonso kushalabu bapuwe, kutuadijabu kuteleja Bânaba ne Paulo pavuabu bakula bua bimanyinu bia bungi ne malu a kukema* bivua Nzambi muenze ku butuangaji buabu munkatshi mua bisamba bikuabu.
13 Pakajikijabu kuakula, Yakobo wakamba ne: “Balumiana, bana betu, ntelejayi.
14 Simeona+ mmulonde bimpe menemene muvua Nzambi mutume ntema yende kudi bisamba bikuabu bua musangu wa kumpala bua kupatulamu tshisamba bua dîna diende.+
15 Kabidi mêyi a Baprofete adi apetangana ne bualu ebu, anu mudibu bafunde ne:
16 ‘Pajika malu aa, nempingane ne nenjule kabidi ntenta* wa Davidi udi mupuke; nengibakulule bitupa biende bidi binyanguke ne nemmuakaje,
17 bua bantu badi bashale bakebe Yehowa* ne muoyo mujima, pamue ne bantu ba bisamba bionso, bantu badi babikidibua ku dîna dianyi, ke mudi Yehowa* udi wenza malu onso aa wamba,+
18 malu adi mamanyike katshia ku kale.’+
19 Ke bualu kayi dipangadika* dianyi ndia kubenga kutatshisha bantu ba mu bisamba bikuabu badi balua kudi Nzambi,+
20 kadi kubafundila bua badikande ku bintu bidi binyanga kudi mpingu,+ badikande ku masandi,*+ ku bintu bifiekela mu nshingu,* ne ku mashi.+
21 Bualu katshia ku kale, Mose udi ne bantu badi bayisha malu ende mu tshimenga ne mu tshimenga, bualu badi babala malu ende mu nsunagoga ne dîyi dikole dituku dionso dia nsabatu.”+
22 Nunku bapostolo ne bakulu, pamue ne tshisumbu tshijima, bakangata dipangadika dia kutuma bantu bavuabu basungule munkatshi muabu ku Antiokia, pamue ne Paulo ne Bânaba; bakatuma Yudasa uvuabu babikila ne: Bâsaba, ne Sila,+ bantu bavua balombola malu munkatshi mua bana betu.
23 Bakafunda mukanda eu, kuwutumabu ku butuangaji buabu ne:
“Tuetu bana benu, bapostolo ne bakulu, kudi bana betu ba mu bisamba bikuabu badi ku Antiokia,+ ku Sulia ne ku Kilikia: Muoyo wenu au!
24 Bu mutudi bumvue ne: bantu bakuabu ba munkatshi muetu bavua balue ne banutatshishe ne malu adibu bambe,+ bakeba bua kununyanga,* nansha mutuvua katuyi babambile bualu nansha bumue,
25 tudi bangate dipangadika mu buobumue dia kusungula bantu bua kunutuminabu pamue ne bana betu bananga, Bânaba ne Paulo,
26 bantu badi bafile mioyo* yabu bua dîna dia Mukalenge wetu Yezu Kristo.+
27 Nunku tudi tunutumina Yudasa ne Sila bua bambe pabu malu a muomumue aa mukana muabu.+
28 Bualu nyuma muimpe*+ ne tuetu kabidi tudi bamone ne: ki mbimpe kunukumbajila bujitu bukuabu pa kumbusha anu malu adi ne mushinga aa:
29 nuikale nudikanda ku bintu bilambula mpingu,+ ku mashi,+ ku bintu bifiekela mu nshingu,*+ ne ku masandi.*+ Nuenu badilame bimpe ku malu aa, nenuye kumpala. Ikalayi ne bukole bua mubidi!”*
30 Nunku pavuabu bashiyangane nabu, bakapueka ku Antiokia, kusangishabu bantu bonso pamue ne kubapeshabu mukanda au.
31 Pakawubalabu, bakasanka bua dikankamija edi.
32 Bu muvua Yudasa ne Sila bikale pabu baprofete, bakakankamija bana betu ne miyuki ya bungi, kubakoleshabu.+
33 Bobu bamane kuenza kuntu aku ndambu wa matuku, bana betu bakabapingaja mu ditalala kudi bavua babatume.
34 * ——
35 Kadi Paulo ne Bânaba bakashala ku Antiokia pamue ne bantu bakuabu ba bungi, balongesha ne bamba lumu luimpe lua dîyi dia Yehowa.*
36 Pakapita ndambu wa matuku, Paulo wakambila Bânaba ne: “Tupingane mpindieu* bua kutangila bana betu ba mu tshimenga ne mu tshimenga tshionso mutuvua bayishe dîyi dia Yehowa* bua kumanya mudibu.”+
37 Bânaba uvua mudisuike bua kuya ne Yone uvuabu babikila ne: Mâko.+
38 Kadi Paulo yeye kavua musue bua baye nende to, bualu uvua mubashiye ku Pampulia, kayi muye nabu mu mudimu to.+
39 Bua bualu ebu, bakatandangana bikole, bobu kufika ne ku ditapulukangana; Bânaba+ wakangata Mâko, kuangatabu mazuwa, kuyabu ku Kupulio.
40 Paulo yeye wakasungula Sila ne kuyaye panyima pa bana betu bamane kumushiya ku ngasa wa Yehowa.*+
41 Wakapitshila mu Sulia ne mu Kilikia wenda ukolesha bisumbu.
