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.
So he came to Derbe and Lystra. Well now, a certain disciple was there named Timothy, son of a certain Jewish woman who believed, but his father was a Greek;
2 Che Timoseo ŵakunguluchilwaga umboni wambone ni ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵa ku Lisita ni ku Ikonio.
he was well spoken of by the brothers 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.
Paul wanted to have him go on with him, so he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, because they all knew that his father was a Greek.
4 Paŵapitaga mmisi jila ŵapele ŵandu malajisyo gaŵakopwesye achinduna ni achachekulu ku Yelusalemu kula ni kwasalila kuti agakamulichisye.
As they were going through the cities they were delivering the dogmas to them, to keep—the ones that had been determined by the apostles and the elders in Jerusalem.
5 Nipele, mipingo ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito japundile kulimbangana mu chikulupi, ni winji wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu wajonjesyeche lyuŵa ni lyuŵa.
So the congregations kept on being strengthened in the faith, and were increasing in number daily.
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.
Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, 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.
they approached Mysia and tried to go to Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them.
8 Nipele ŵapelengenye Misia ni kutuluchila ku Tuloa.
So they bypassed Mysia and went down to Troas.
9 Chilo chichocho pecho, che Paolo ŵaiweni yakuwona yati, mundu jwa ku Makedonia ŵajimi achachondelelaga achitiji, “Njomboche, nnyiche ku Makedonia kuntukamusye.”
A vision appeared to Paul during the night: a man of Macedonia was standing, appealing to him and saying, “Come over to 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.
So when he saw the vision, we immediately prepared to go over to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to evangelize them.
11 Kutyochela ku Tuloa twajesile ni ngalaŵa mpaka ku Samotalaki, malaŵi jakwe twaiche ku Neapoli.
So setting sail from Troas, we ran a straight course to Samothrace, and the next day 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 from there to Philippi, which is the foremost city of that part of Macedonia, a colony. We stayed some days in that city.
13 Pa lyuŵa lya Kupumulila twakopweche paasa musi ni twajawile kungulugulu lusulo kutwaganisyaga kuti kwana kwakupopelela. Twatemi ni kukunguluka ni achakongwe ŵaŵasongangene pelepo.
On the Sabbath day we went outside the city by a river, where prayer was customarily made, and sitting down we started speaking to the assembled women.
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.
A certain woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God, really listened, whose heart the Lord opened to give heed 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.
When she and her household were baptized, she appealed saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.” So she persuaded 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.
Now it happened, as we were going to prayer, that a certain slave girl having a spirit of divination met us, who brought considerable profit to her owners by divination.
17 Nipele mwali jo ŵankuiye che Paolo noweji achinyokonyaga kuti, “Ŵandu ŵa ali achikapolo ŵa Akunnungu Ŵakulu. Akunsalila ichinjile pakukulupuswa.”
Following Paul and Silas this girl kept calling out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to us 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.
She kept this up for many days! So Paul, becoming increasingly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” And it came out that very 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.
But when her owners saw that their hope of profit was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the market place to the rulers,
20 Nipele ŵaapeleche kwa ŵamalamulo achitiji, “Ŵandu ŵa ali Ŵayahudi ŵakuutindiganya musi wetu.
and bringing them before the magistrates they said, “These men, being Jews, are agitating our city,
21 Akwiganya masyoŵelo gangaŵajilwa mmalajisyo getu uweji ŵatuli Ŵaloma ngatukukombola kwajitichisya atamuno kuipanganya.”
and are advocating customs that are not lawful for us, being Romans, to receive or do.”
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.
The crowd joined in the attack against them, and the magistrates tore the clothes off of them and ordered a beating with rods.
23 Paŵamasile kwaputa kwannope ŵaaŵisile mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ni kunlajisya jwakulindilila nyuumba jakutaŵilwa kuti ŵaagose uchenene.
When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them securely;
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, threw them into the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.
25 Nambo pasikati chilo che Paolo ni che Sila ŵaliji nkwapopela Akunnungu ni kwajimbila nyimbo sya kwalapa ŵaŵataŵikwe ŵane ŵala ŵaliji nkwapikanila.
Well about midnight Paul and Silas were singing hymns to God in prayer; and the other prisoners were listening 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.
Suddenly there was a great earthquake, enough to shake the foundations of the prison; immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were loosed.
27 Jwakulindilila nyuumba jakutaŵilwa jula paŵajimwiche ni kujiwona minango ja nyuumba jeugule ŵaganisisye kuti ŵaŵataŵikwe wose ŵatisile. Nipele ŵasolomwele upanga wakwe, ŵatiji aliulaje.
But the jailer, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew sword, intending to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
28 Nambo che Paolo ŵambilasile kwa liloŵe lyekulungwa, “Nkaliulaga pakuŵa wose tuli mmumu.”
But Paul shouted out, “Don't harm yourself, because 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.
So calling for a light he ran in and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas.
30 Nipele ŵaajigele che Paolo ni che Sila ni kwakoposya paasa ni kwausya, “Achambuje, ana ikuumajila kupanganya chichi pakuti ngulupuche?”
He then brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31 Che Paolo ni che Sila ŵajanjile, “Mwakulupilile Ambuje Che Yesu, ni pachinchikulupuswa mmwejo ni ŵaali mu nyuumba jenu.”
So they said, “Believe upon the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved, you and your household.”
32 Nipele che Paolo ni che Sila ŵanlalichile Liloŵe lya Ambuje jwakulindilila jo pamo ni wose ŵaali mu nyuumba jakwe.
Then they spoke the Word of the Lord to him and to all who 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.
In that same hour of the night he took them aside and washed their wounds, and thereupon he and all his family were baptized.
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.
Then he brought them into his house and set a meal before them, and he was really rejoicing, having believed in God with his whole family.
35 Pakwachele ŵamalamulo ŵa Chiloma ŵalajisye achakulu ŵa ŵakulindilila nyuumba jakutaŵilwa achitiji, “Mwalechele ŵandu ŵala ajaulangane.”
Now when it was day the magistrates sent the officers 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.”
So the jailer reported these words to Paul, “The magistrates have sent to release you; so now you can leave and go 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: “After severely beating us in public, although we were uncondemned Romans, they threw us into prison, and now do they toss us out on the sly? No way! Rather, let them come themselves and escort 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.
So the officers reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans;
39 Nipele, ŵaiche ni kwachondelela ŵanyawo kuti ŵalechelesye ni paŵakopwesye ŵachondelele kuti akopoche pa musi wo.
and they came and appealed to them, and leading them out they asked them to leave 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.
So exiting the prison they entered Lydia's place, and upon seeing the brothers they encouraged them and departed.
