Masengo 16
1 Che Paolo ŵaiche ku Debe ni ku Lisita, kweleko ŵatemi mundu jwakunkuya Che Yesu liina lyakwe che Timoseo. Achikulugwe che Timoseo ŵaliji Myahudi nombejo ŵaliji mundu jwakwakulupilila Che Yesu, nambo atatigwe ŵaliji Mgiliki.
And he came to Derbe and Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, by name Timotheus, son of a Jewish believing woman, but [the] father a Greek,
2 Che Timoseo ŵakunguluchilwaga umboni wambone ni ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵa ku Lisita ni ku Ikonio.
who had a [good] testimony of the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.
3 Che Paolo ŵasachile kunjigala che Timoseo mu ulendo wao, nipele ŵambumbesye. Ŵatesile yeleyo ligongo lya Ŵayahudi ŵaŵaliji mu ilambo mo pakuŵa wose ŵamanyilile kuti atatigwe che Timoseo ŵaliji Mgiliki.
Him would Paul have go forth with him, and took [him and] circumcised him on account of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew his father that he was a Greek.
4 Paŵapitaga mmisi jila ŵapele ŵandu malajisyo gaŵakopwesye achinduna ni achachekulu ku Yelusalemu kula ni kwasalila kuti agakamulichisye.
And as they passed through the cities they instructed them to observe the decrees determined on by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem.
5 Nipele, mipingo ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito japundile kulimbangana mu chikulupi, ni winji wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu wajonjesyeche lyuŵa ni lyuŵa.
The assemblies therefore were confirmed in the faith, and increased in number every day.
6 Che Paolo ni achinjakwe ŵapite mu ilambo ya ku Filigia ni ku Galatia ligongo Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵakanyisye akaalalichila ŵandu utenga wo mu chilambo cha ku Asia.
And having passed through Phrygia and the Galatian country, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,
7 Paŵaiche mmipika ja ku Misia, ŵasachile kwaula ku Bisinia, nambo Mbumu ju Che Yesu ŵakanyisye.
having come down to Mysia, they attempted to go to Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them;
8 Nipele ŵapelengenye Misia ni kutuluchila ku Tuloa.
and having passed by Mysia they descended to Troas.
9 Chilo chichocho pecho, che Paolo ŵaiweni yakuwona yati, mundu jwa ku Makedonia ŵajimi achachondelelaga achitiji, “Njomboche, nnyiche ku Makedonia kuntukamusye.”
And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There was a certain Macedonian man, standing and beseeching him, and saying, Pass over into Macedonia and help us.
10 Che Paolo paŵagaweni gelego mu yakuwona, papopo twaliŵichile chile kwaula ku Makedonia pakuŵa twaiweni kuti Akunnungu atuŵilasile tukaalalichile ŵandu Ngani Jambone.
And when he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go forth to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to announce to them the glad tidings.
11 Kutyochela ku Tuloa twajesile ni ngalaŵa mpaka ku Samotalaki, malaŵi jakwe twaiche ku Neapoli.
Having sailed therefore away from Troas, we went in a straight course to Samothracia, and on the morrow to Neapolis,
12 Kutyochela kweleko, twajawile mpaka ku Filipi musi wekulungwa wa chilambo cha ku Makedonia ni sooni musi wo waliji musi wautaŵikwe ni Ŵaloma. Twatemi mmusi mo kwa moŵa gampepe.
and thence to Philippi, which is [the] first city of that part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were staying in that city certain days.
13 Pa lyuŵa lya Kupumulila twakopweche paasa musi ni twajawile kungulugulu lusulo kutwaganisyaga kuti kwana kwakupopelela. Twatemi ni kukunguluka ni achakongwe ŵaŵasongangene pelepo.
And on the sabbath day we went outside the gate by the river, where it was the custom for prayer to be, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had assembled.
14 Mwa ŵaŵatupikanilaga ŵala jwapali jwankongwe jwakwapopela Akunnungu liina lyao che Lidia jwa musi wa ku Siatila, juŵasumisyaga iwalo ya ntengo. Ambuje ŵaugwile ntima wakwe kuti akamulisye iŵaŵechetaga che Paolo yo.
And a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, heard; whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things spoken by Paul.
15 Che Lidia paŵabatiswe pamo ni ŵaali mu nyuumba jakwe, ŵatuchondelele achitiji, “Iŵaga nkulola kuti ngwakulupilila Ambuje, njinjilanje mu nyuumba jangu ni kutama mwelemo.” Ni ŵatuchisisye tujaule.
And when she had been baptised and her house, she besought [us], saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and abide [there]. And she constrained us.
16 Lyuŵa limo patwajaulaga kwiuto kwa mapopelelo kula, twasimene ni kapolo mwali jwana lisoka lya kulondola. Mwali jo ŵaliji nkwapa achambujegwe mbiya syesijinji kwa ulondole wakwe.
And it came to pass as we were going to prayer that a certain female slave, having a spirit of Python, met us, who brought much profit to her masters by prophesying.
17 Nipele mwali jo ŵankuiye che Paolo noweji achinyokonyaga kuti, “Ŵandu ŵa ali achikapolo ŵa Akunnungu Ŵakulu. Akunsalila ichinjile pakukulupuswa.”
She, having followed Paul and us, cried saying, These men are bondmen of the Most High God, who announce to you [the] way of salvation.
18 Yeleyo ŵatendaga moŵa gamajinji, mbesi lyuŵa limo che Paolo yachimile ni ŵangalauchile ni kulisalila lisoka lyo, “Ngunlamula kwa ulamusi u Che Yesu Kilisito nkopoche mwa mwali ju!” Papopo lisoka lyo lyakopweche.
And this she did many days. And Paul, being distressed, turned, and said to the spirit, I enjoin thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out the same hour.
19 Nambo achambujegwe mwali jo paŵaiweni kuti chilolelo chao chakupata ipanje chimasile, ŵaakamwile che Paolo ni che Sila ni kwakwekwelemya mpaka pakusumichisya malonda, mmbujo mwa achakulu ŵa musi.
And her masters, seeing that the hope of their gains was gone, having seized Paul and Silas, dragged [them] into the market before the magistrates;
20 Nipele ŵaapeleche kwa ŵamalamulo achitiji, “Ŵandu ŵa ali Ŵayahudi ŵakuutindiganya musi wetu.
and having brought them up to the praetors, said, These men utterly trouble our city, being Jews,
21 Akwiganya masyoŵelo gangaŵajilwa mmalajisyo getu uweji ŵatuli Ŵaloma ngatukukombola kwajitichisya atamuno kuipanganya.”
and announce customs which it is not lawful for us to receive nor practise, being Romans.
22 Mpingo wa ŵandu walumbikene ni kwaputa che Paolo ni che Sila, nipele ŵamalamulo ŵala ŵaausile che Paolo ni che Sila iwalo yao ni kwalamula aputikwe mbokola.
And the crowd rose up too against them; and the praetors, having torn off their clothes, commanded to scourge [them].
23 Paŵamasile kwaputa kwannope ŵaaŵisile mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ni kunlajisya jwakulindilila nyuumba jakutaŵilwa kuti ŵaagose uchenene.
And having laid many stripes upon them they cast [them] into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely;
24 Nombe paŵagapochele malajisyo gala, ŵaaŵisile che Paolo ni che Sila mu chuumba cha munkati nnope mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa jila ni ŵaataŵilile makongolo gao pa likongwa.
who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and secured their feet to the stocks.
25 Nambo pasikati chilo che Paolo ni che Sila ŵaliji nkwapopela Akunnungu ni kwajimbila nyimbo sya kwalapa ŵaŵataŵikwe ŵane ŵala ŵaliji nkwapikanila.
And at midnight Paul and Silas, in praying, were praising God with singing, and the prisoners listened to them.
26 Chisisimuchile chakopochele chindendemesi chekulungwa cha lisi chati misingi ja nyuumba jakutaŵilwa jatinganyiche. Papopo minango jose jaugwiche ni minyolo jijaataŵile ŵaŵataŵikwe ŵala jakutwiche.
And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison shook, and all the doors were immediately opened, and the bonds of all loosed.
27 Jwakulindilila nyuumba jakutaŵilwa jula paŵajimwiche ni kujiwona minango ja nyuumba jeugule ŵaganisisye kuti ŵaŵataŵikwe wose ŵatisile. Nipele ŵasolomwele upanga wakwe, ŵatiji aliulaje.
And the jailor being awakened out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison opened, having drawn a sword was going to kill himself, thinking the prisoners had fled.
28 Nambo che Paolo ŵambilasile kwa liloŵe lyekulungwa, “Nkaliulaga pakuŵa wose tuli mmumu.”
But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.
29 Jwakulindilila nyuumba jakutaŵilwa jula paŵaŵendile apegwe lumuli, ŵaguluchile nkati ni kugwa mmbujo pa makongolo ga che Paolo ni che Sila achitetemelaga kwa lipamba.
And having asked for lights, he rushed in, and, trembling, fell down before Paul and Silas.
30 Nipele ŵaajigele che Paolo ni che Sila ni kwakoposya paasa ni kwausya, “Achambuje, ana ikuumajila kupanganya chichi pakuti ngulupuche?”
And leading them out said, Sirs, what must I do that I may be saved?
31 Che Paolo ni che Sila ŵajanjile, “Mwakulupilile Ambuje Che Yesu, ni pachinchikulupuswa mmwejo ni ŵaali mu nyuumba jenu.”
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.
32 Nipele che Paolo ni che Sila ŵanlalichile Liloŵe lya Ambuje jwakulindilila jo pamo ni wose ŵaali mu nyuumba jakwe.
And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, with all that were in his house.
33 Katema kakoko ka chilo jwakulindilila jwa nyuumba jakutaŵilwa jo ŵaajigele che Paolo ni che Sila ni kugajosya maŵanga gao. Nipele ŵabatiswe jwakulindilila pamo ni wose ŵaali mu nyuumba jakwe.
And he took them the same hour of the night and washed [them] from their stripes; and was baptised, he and all his straightway.
34 Nipele jwakulindilila jwa nyuumba jakutaŵilwa jo ŵaajigele che Paolo ni che Sila ni kwajausya ku nyuumba jakwe ni ŵapele chakulya. Ni nsyene pamo ni ŵaali mu nyuumba jakwe ŵasangalele kwannope pakuŵa sano akwakulupilila Akunnungu.
And having brought them into his house he laid the table [for them], and rejoiced with all his house, having believed in God.
35 Pakwachele ŵamalamulo ŵa Chiloma ŵalajisye achakulu ŵa ŵakulindilila nyuumba jakutaŵilwa achitiji, “Mwalechele ŵandu ŵala ajaulangane.”
And when it was day, the praetors sent the lictors, saying, Let those men go.
36 Jwakulindilila nyuumba jakutaŵilwa jula ŵansalile che Paolo ngani jo achitiji, “Ŵamalamulo alajisye utenga kuti alakwe ni che Sila nlecheleswe. Sambano njaule kwa chitendewele.”
And the jailor reported these words to Paul: The praetors have sent that ye may be let go. Now therefore go out and depart in peace.
37 Nambo che Paolo ŵansalile jwankulu jwa ŵakulindilila jo, “Nkuti uli? Nachiŵamuno nganitukola magambo, atuputile mbokola pelanga akuno uweji tuli Ŵaloma. Sooni ŵatuŵisile mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ni sambano ana akutukoposya kwachisyepela? Ngwamba! Akusachilwa aichanje achinsyene kukutukoposya.”
But Paul said to them, Having beaten us publicly uncondemned, us who are Romans, they have cast us into prison, and now they thrust us out secretly? no, indeed, but let them come themselves and bring us out.
38 Achakulu ŵa ŵakulindilila ŵala ŵajawile kukwasalila ŵamalamulo yankati ngani jo, ni ŵamalamulo ŵala paŵapilikene kuti che Paolo ni che Sila ŵaliji Ŵaloma, ŵajogwepe.
And the lictors reported these words to the praetors. And they were afraid when they heard they were Romans.
39 Nipele, ŵaiche ni kwachondelela ŵanyawo kuti ŵalechelesye ni paŵakopwesye ŵachondelele kuti akopoche pa musi wo.
And they came and besought them, and having brought them out, asked them to go out of the city.
40 Che Paolo ni che Sila ŵakopweche mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ni kwaula ku nyuumba ji che Lidia. Kweleko ŵasimene ni ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu ŵakamulisye mitima ni ŵatyosile.
And having gone out of the prison, they came to Lydia; and having seen the brethren, they exhorted them and went away.
