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 also to Derbe and to Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess which believed; but his father was a Greek.
2 Che Timoseo ŵakunguluchilwaga umboni wambone ni ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵa ku Lisita ni ku Ikonio.
The same was well reported of by the brethren that were at 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 to go forth with him; and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those parts: for 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.
And as they went on their way through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, which had been ordained of 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.
So the churches were strengthened 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 the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden of the Holy Ghost to speak the word in Asia;
7 Paŵaiche mmipika ja ku Misia, ŵasachile kwaula ku Bisinia, nambo Mbumu ju Che Yesu ŵakanyisye.
and when they were come over against Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia; and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not;
8 Nipele ŵapelengenye Misia ni kutuluchila ku Tuloa.
and passing by Mysia, they came 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 was a man of Macedonia standing, beseeching him, and saying, Come 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, straightway we sought to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.
11 Kutyochela ku Tuloa twajesile ni ngalaŵa mpaka ku Samotalaki, malaŵi jakwe twaiche ku Neapoli.
Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following 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 thence to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a [Roman] colony: and we were in this city tarrying 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 forth without the gate by a river side, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which were come together.
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, one that worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, to give heed unto 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 baptized, and her household, 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 the place of prayer, that a certain maid having a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.
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, saying, These men are servants of the Most High God, which proclaim unto 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 many days. But Paul, being sore troubled, turned and said to the spirit, I charge thee 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 masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they laid hold on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers,
20 Nipele ŵaapeleche kwa ŵamalamulo achitiji, “Ŵandu ŵa ali Ŵayahudi ŵakuutindiganya musi wetu.
and when they had brought them unto the magistrates, they said, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
21 Akwiganya masyoŵelo gangaŵajilwa mmalajisyo getu uweji ŵatuli Ŵaloma ngatukukombola kwajitichisya atamuno kuipanganya.”
and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to receive, or to observe, 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 multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent their garments off them, and commanded to beat them 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 charge, cast them into the inner prison, and made 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 about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns unto God, and the 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.
and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison-house were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened; and every one’s bands 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 being roused out of sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword, and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
28 Nambo che Paolo ŵambilasile kwa liloŵe lyekulungwa, “Nkaliulaga pakuŵa wose tuli mmumu.”
But Paul cried 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 he called for lights, and sprang in, and, trembling for fear, 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 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.”
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 spake the word of the Lord unto him, 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 their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, immediately.
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 he brought them up into his house, and set meat before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his house, having believed in God.
35 Pakwachele ŵamalamulo ŵa Chiloma ŵalajisye achakulu ŵa ŵakulindilila nyuumba jakutaŵilwa achitiji, “Mwalechele ŵandu ŵala ajaulangane.”
But when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, 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 the words to Paul, [saying], The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore come forth, 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 unto them, They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison; and do they now cast us out privily? nay verily; 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 serjeants reported these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, 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 besought them; and when they had brought them out, they asked them to go away 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 they went out of the prison, and entered into [the house of] Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
