Bhandunji bhakaibhonanjeje ilapo ibhaitendaga a Pilipi, gubhapilikanishiyenje ntenga kwa ntima ndende.

Ikabheje bhakakulupalilanjeje ntenga gwa a Pilipi gwa Ngani ja Mmbone ja Ukulungwa gwa a Nnungu na lina lya a Yeshu Kilishitu, gubhabhatishwenje, bhanabhakongwe na bhanabhalume.
13 Nayenso Simoni anakhulupirira ndipo anabatizidwa, natsatira Filipo kulikonse, ndipo anadabwa kwambiri pamene anaona zizindikiro zazikulu ndi zozizwitsa.
Nkali a Shimoni gubhakulupalile, bhakabhatishweje gubhatendile shilongani na a Pilipi, gubhakanganigwe ga ilapo yaatendekaga.
14 Atumwi a ku Yerusalemu atamva kuti anthu a ku Samariya analandira Mawu a Mulungu, anatumiza Petro ndi Yohane.
Mitume bhalinginji ku Yelushalemu bhakapilikananjeje kuti Bhashamalia na bhalabhonji bhaliposhelenje lilobhe lya a Nnungu, gubhaatumilenje kweneko a Petili na a Yowana.
15 Atafika anawapempherera kuti alandire Mzimu Woyera,
Bhakaikanganjeje gubhaajujilenje a Nnungu nkupinga bhaakulupalila bhamposhelanje Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo,

Bhai, a Petili na a Yowana gubhaabhishilenje makono bhaakulupalila bhala, gubhamposhelenje Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.
18 Simoni ataona kuti Mzimu anaperekedwa kwa iwo atumwi atawasanjika manja, iye anafuna kuwapatsa ndalama ndipo anati,
Bhai, a Shimoni bhakabhoneje kuti mundu abhishilwaga makono na mitume bhala, anaposhela Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, gubhapinjile kwaapanganga ela a Petili na a Yowana bhalinkuti,
19 “Inenso ndipatseni mphamvu imeneyi kuti aliyense amene ndimusanjika manja anga azilandira Mzimu Woyera.”
“Mmbanganje na nne gene mashiligo, nkupinga nimmishilaga mundu makono, amposhele Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.”
20 Petro anayankha kuti, “Ndalama zako utayike nazo pamodzi, chifukwa unaganiza kuti ungathe kugula mphatso ya Mulungu ndi ndalama!
Ikabheje a Petili gubhaajangwile, “Nkaobhele ako na ela yenuyo, punkuganishaya mashili ga a Nnungu gaumwa na ela!
21 Ulibe gawo kapena mbali pa utumikiwu, chifukwa mtima wako suli wolungama pamaso pa Mulungu.
Mmwe mwangali shakamula kwa ali liengoli, pabha ntima gwenu gwangali gwa mmbone kwa a Nnungu.
22 Lapa zoyipa zakozi ndipo upemphere kwa Ambuye. Mwina adzakukhululukira maganizo a mu mtima mwako.
Kwa nneyo mwiipete yangali ya mmbone yenui na mwaajuje Bhakulungwa ipingaga, bhalabho shibhanneshelele ng'aniyo yenuyo.
23 Pakuti ine ndikuona kuti ndiwe wowawidwa mtima ndiponso kapolo wa tchimo.”
Pabha ngunakummona lushikungumbala lupimilo lwa kaje na punnipa mmabhanda bha ilebho.”
24 Ndipo Simoni anayankha, “Mundipempherere kwa Ambuye kuti zisandigwere izi mwanenazi.”
A Shimoni gubhajangwile, “Shonde, nnyujilanje ku Bhakulungwa linambate lyolyowe lya gene gunnugwilenjego.”
25 Atatha kuchitira umboni ndi kulalikira mawu a Ambuye, Petro ndi Yohane anabwerera ku Yerusalemu, atalalikira Uthenga Wabwino mʼmidzi yambiri ya Asamariya.
A Petili na a Yowana bhakakong'ondelanjeje na lunguya ga Ngani ja Bhakulungwa, gubhabhujilenje ku Yelushalemu. Gwa mmabhuja gubhalunguyenje Ngani ja Mmbone mwijiji yaigwinji ya ku Shamalia.
26 Mngelo wa Ambuye anati kwa Filipo, “Nyamuka pita chakummwera, ku msewu wa ku chipululu wopita ku Gaza kuchokera ku Yerusalemu.”
Malaika jwa Bhakulungwa gwabhalugulile a Pilipi, “Mpanganishe nnjende mmbali ja kwibhanda kupitila mpanda gwa anga ukopoka ku Yelushalemu kwenda ku Gasha.”
27 Ndipo ananyamuka napita, ndipo akuyenda anakumana ndi munthu wa ku Etiopia wa udindo waukulu woyangʼanira chuma cha Kandake, mfumu yayikazi ya ku Etiopia. Munthu ameneyu anapita ku Yerusalemu kukapembedza Mulungu,
Bhai a Pilipi gubhatandwibhe mwanja. Gubhammweni mundu jumo jwa ku Eshiopia, nkulungwa jwa shibhiko sha a Kandate malikia bha ku Eshiopia. Bhashinkwenda ku Yelushalemu kukwatindibhalila a Nnungu na penepo bhatendaga bhuja bhali bhakwelile mutuka ja kwakwatwa.
28 ndipo akubwerera kwawo atakwera pa galeta lake amawerenga buku la mneneri Yesaya.
Bhali mmwanja bhatendaga kwishomela shitabhu sha a Ishaya ankulondola bha a Nnungu.
29 Mzimu anamuwuza Filipo kuti, “Pita pa galeta ilo ndipo ukakhale pafupi nalo.”
Bhai, Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo gwabhabhalanjile a Pilipi, “Nnjende tome na mutuka jila nkalongane najo.”
30 Pamenepo Filipo anathamangira ku galeta ndipo anamva munthuyo akuwerenga buku la mneneri Yesaya. Filipo anamufunsa kuti, “Kodi mukumvetsa zimene mukuwerengazi?”
A Pilipi gubhabhutushile tome na mutuka jila, gubhampilikene mundu jula alishoma shitabhu sha a Ishaya ankulondola bha a Nnungu. A Pilipi gubhaabhushiye, “Bhuli, nnikwimanya inkushomayo?”
31 Iye anayankha kuti, “Ndingamvetse bwanji popanda wina wondimasulira?” Ndipo iye anayitana Filipo kuti abwere ndikukhala naye mʼgaleta.
Bhandu bhala gubhajangwile, “Ngombole kwapi kwiimanya gwangali mundu jwa ndalashiya?” Penepo gubhaashemile a Pilipi bhakwele mmutuka mula bhatame nabho.
32 Mawu amene ndunayo imawerenga anali awa: “Monga mwana wankhosa wopita naye kokamupha amachitira, kapena monga nkhosa imakhalira duu poyimeta, momwemonso iye sanatsekule pakamwa pake.
Na Majandiko ga Ukonjelo gubhashomaga pugaliji nnei, “Paliji mbuti ngondolo apelekwa kuingwa, eu mbuti mwana ngondolo atama ilili alimogwa mang'omba, jwangakopoya lilobhe lyakwe wala kashoko.
33 Iye ananyozedwa ndipo panalibe chilungamo pa mlandu wake. Ndipo ndani amene analabadirako za zidzukulu zake poona kuti iye anachotsedwa mʼdziko la anthu amoyo?”
Ashinkutokomaywa na bhonelwa. Jwakwa shakombole kutagulila ga lubheleko lwakwe, pabha gumi gwakwe ushishoywa pashilambolyo.”
34 Ndunayo inamufunsa Filipo kuti, “Chonde, uzeni, kodi mneneri akuyankhula za ndani, za iye mwini kapena za munthu wina?”
Bhaeshiopia bhala bhakwaalugulilaga a Pilipi, “Nnugulile, jwene nkulondola jwa a Nnunguju abheleketa ngani jikeni? Gene gabheleketaga gakwe nnyene eu gaka mundu juna?”
35 Pamenepo Filipo anayambira pa malemba omwewo kumuwuza za Uthenga Wabwino wa Yesu.
Bhai, a Pilipi gubhatandwibhe na gene Majandiko ga Ukonjelogo, gubhaatalashiye Ngani ja Mmbone ja a Yeshu.
36 Akuyenda mu msewu anafika pamalo pamene panali madzi ndipo ndunayo inati, “Taonani madzi awa. Kodi pali chondiletsa kuti ndibatizidwe?”
Bhalinginji mmwanja, gubhaikenenje palitanda, mundu jula gwashite, “Apano gapali mashi, bhuli shipali shoshowe shang'ibhilila ngunabhatishwe?”
37 Filipo anati, “Ngati mukhulupirira ndi mtima wanu wonse mukhoza kubatizidwa.” Ndunayo inayankha kuti, “Ine ndikukhulupirira kuti Yesu Khristu ndi Mwana wa Mulungu.”
A Pilipi gubhashite, “Ibhaga nkulupalilaga kwa ntima gwenu gowe inatendeka kubhatishwa.” Nabhalabho gubhajangwile, “Elo ngunakulupalila kuti a Yeshu Kilishitu ni bhanabhabho a Nnungu.”
38 Ndipo analamulira galeta kuti liyime. Onse awiriwo, Filipo ndi Ndunayo anatsika ndi kulowa mʼmadzi ndipo Filipo anamubatiza.
Bhai gubhaamulishe mutuka jila jijime. Bhaeshiopia bhala na a Pilipi gubhapitengenenje mmashi mula, a Pilipi gubhaabhatishe.
39 Pamene iwo anatuluka mʼmadzimo, Mzimu wa Ambuye anamukwatula Filipo, ndipo Ndunayo sinamuonenso, koma inapitiriza ulendo wake ikusangalala.
Bhakakopokanganeje mmashi mula Mbumu jwa Bhakulungwa akwaanyakulaga a Pilipi. Bhaeshiopia bhala bhangaabhona kabhili a Pilipi, ikabheje gubhapite na mwanja gwabho bhalikwinonyela.
40 Koma Filipo anapezeka kuti ali ku Azoto ndipo anazungulira konse, kulalikira Uthenga Wabwino mʼmizinda yonse mpaka anakafika ku Kaisareya.
A Pilipi gubhaimushile bhali ku Ashoto, gubhapitile mwilambo yowe bhalilunguya Ngani ja Mmbone mpaka ku Kaishalia.
