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 came to Derbe and Lystra; and, behold, a certain disciple was there, whose name was Timothy, the son of a believing Jewess, but of a Grecian father;
2 Che Timoseo ŵakunguluchilwaga umboni wambone ni ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵa ku Lisita ni ku Ikonio.
who had an honorable character given by 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 Paul would have to go forth with him: and took 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 delivered to their custody the decrees, which were determined by the Apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem.
5 Nipele, mipingo ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito japundile kulimbangana mu chikulupi, ni winji wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu wajonjesyeche lyuŵa ni lyuŵa.
The congregations, therefore, were confirmed in the faith, and increased 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.
And they went through Phrygia, and the region of Galatia, and being 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.
when they were come to Mysia, they attempted to go to Bithynia; but the spirit did not permit them.
8 Nipele ŵapelengenye Misia ni kutuluchila ku Tuloa.
And passing by Mysia, they 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.”
And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There stood a certain Macedonia, entreating 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.
And as soon as he had seen this vision, we immediately endeavored to go to Macedonia; assuredly inferring, that the Lord had called us to declare the gospel to them.
11 Kutyochela ku Tuloa twajesile ni ngalaŵa mpaka ku Samotalaki, malaŵi jakwe twaiche ku Neapoli.
Setting sail, therefore, from Troas, we ran directly to Samothracia; 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 came thence to Philippi, which is a city of the first part of Macedonia, a colony: and we continued in this city for some 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 out of the city to the side of the river, according to the custom, where was an oratory; and sitting down, we spoke to the women that were assembled there.
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 named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, a worshiper of God, heard the discourse: whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things which were 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 was immersed, with her family, she entreated us, saying, If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, enter into my house, and continue there. And she compelled 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 came to pass, that as we were going to the oratory, we were met by a certain maid-servant that had a spirit of divination, who brought her owners much gain by prophesying:
17 Nipele mwali jo ŵankuiye che Paolo noweji achinyokonyaga kuti, “Ŵandu ŵa ali achikapolo ŵa Akunnungu Ŵakulu. Akunsalila ichinjile pakukulupuswa.”
the same, following after Paul and us, cried out, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who declare 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 for several days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I charge you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to go out of her. And it went 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 the hope of their gain was gone; laying hold of Paul and Silas, they dragged them to the market place, to the magistrates:
20 Nipele ŵaapeleche kwa ŵamalamulo achitiji, “Ŵandu ŵa ali Ŵayahudi ŵakuutindiganya musi wetu.
and having brought them to the generals of the army, they said, These men, who are Jews, mightily disturb our city;
21 Akwiganya masyoŵelo gangaŵajilwa mmalajisyo getu uweji ŵatuli Ŵaloma ngatukukombola kwajitichisya atamuno kuipanganya.”
and teach customs, which it is not lawful for us to receive and practice, 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 populace rose up together against them; and the generals tearing off their garments, commanded them to be beaten with rods.
23 Paŵamasile kwaputa kwannope ŵaaŵisile mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ni kunlajisya jwakulindilila nyuumba jakutaŵilwa kuti ŵaagose uchenene.
And when they had 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 strict charge, threw them into the inner prison, and secured their feet fast 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.
But at midnight, Paul and Silas having prayed, sung a hymn to God: and the prisoners heard 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, on a sudden, there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prisoner were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and the bonds of all the prisoners 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.
And the jailor, awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison opened, drew his sword, and was going to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners were fled.
28 Nambo che Paolo ŵambilasile kwa liloŵe lyekulungwa, “Nkaliulaga pakuŵa wose tuli mmumu.”
But Paul cried out, with a loud voice, saying, Do yourself 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 he called for lights, and sprung in; and, being in a tremor, 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, bringing them out, he said, O 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.”
And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved, and your 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, and to 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 taking them, that very hour of the night, he washed their stripes; and was immediately immersed, himself, and all his.
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 spread the table before them: and believing in the God, with all his house, he was transported with joy.
35 Pakwachele ŵamalamulo ŵa Chiloma ŵalajisye achakulu ŵa ŵakulindilila nyuumba jakutaŵilwa achitiji, “Mwalechele ŵandu ŵala ajaulangane.”
And when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Dismiss those men.
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 keeper of the prison told these things to Paul, The generals have sent that you may be dismissed; now, therefore, go out, and pursue your journey 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, They have beaten us, who are Romans, publicly and uncondemned, and have cast us into prison; and do they now thrust us out privately? By no means: but let them come themselves, and conduct 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 sergeants reported these words to the generals. And when they had heard that they were Romans, they were afraid:
39 Nipele, ŵaiche ni kwachondelela ŵanyawo kuti ŵalechelesye ni paŵakopwesye ŵachondelele kuti akopoche pa musi wo.
and they came and comforted them; and conducting them out, requested that they would depart from 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 coming out of the prison, they entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
