Masengo 19
1 Nipele, yaliji che Apolo paŵaliji ku Kolinto, che Paolo ŵapite kuchilambo cha ikwesya ni ŵaiche ku Efeso. Kweleko ŵaasimene ŵakulijiganya ŵane ŵa Che Yesu,
Ikajha kujha Apolo bho ajhe Korintho, Paulo apetili nyanda sya panani ni kufika mu mji bhwa Efeso, na akolili bhanafunzi kadhaa okhu.
2 ni ŵausisye, “Ana pamwakulupilile Che Yesu mwampochele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu?” Ni ŵanyawo ŵajanjile, “Ngwamba! Natamuno kupilikana kose nganitupilikane kuti apali Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.”
Paulo akabhajobhela, “Je mwapokili Roho mtakatifu bho mukyeriri?” Bhakan'jobhela, “Lepi, twabhwesilepi hata kup'eleka kuhusu Roho mtakatifu.”
3 Ni che Paolo ŵausisye, “Nambi mwabatiswe ubatiso chi?” Ni ŵanyawo ŵajanjile, “Ubatiso u che Yohana.”
Paulo akajobha, “henu muenga mwabatisibhu bhuli? Bhakajobha, Mu bhubatisu bhwa Yohana.
4 Che Paolo ŵatite, “Ubatiso u che Yohana waliji wakulosya kuti ŵandu alesile sambi. Che Yohana ŵaasalile ŵandu ŵaakulupilile ŵatachiika panyuma pao, ŵelewo ali Che Yesu.”
Basi paulo akajibu, “Yohana abatisi kwa bhubatisu bhwa toba. Akabhajobhela bhanu bhala kujha bhilondeka kunkiera jhola ambajhe ngaahidili baada jha muene, yaani, Yesu.”
5 Paŵapilikene yeleyo ŵabatiswe kwa liina lya Ambuje Che Yesu.
Bhanu bho bhap'eliki habari ejhe, bhakabatisibhwa kwa lihina lya Bwana Yesu.
6 Nipele, che Paolo ŵaŵisile makono gao pa ŵanyawo, ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵaatuluchile ni ŵatandite kuŵechetanga iŵecheto ineine, iyoyo ŵatandite kulalichila utenga wa Akunnungu.
Na jhikajhe Paulo bho abhekili mabhoko panani pa bhene, Roho mtakatifu akahida juu jha bhene ni kujhanda kunene kwa lugha ni kutabiri.
7 Ŵandu wose wo ŵaliji mpela ŵandu likumi ni ŵaŵili.
Jumla jha bhene bhajhele bhaghosi jhapata kumi ni bhabhele.
8 Che Paolo ŵajinjilaga mu nyuumba ja kupopelela jila kwa miesi jitatu ni ŵaachisyaga kuti akulupilile Umwenye wa Akunnungu.
Paulo akalota kusinagogi akanena kwa bhujasiri kwa muda bhwa miesi midatu. Akajha ilongosya majadiliano ni kubhafuta bhanu kuhusu mambo ghaghihusu ufalme bhwa K'yara.
9 Nambo ŵandu ŵane ŵaliji ŵakukakatima mitima ni ŵakanile kukulupilila, ŵatandite kuŵechetanga yangalumbana nkati ŵandu ŵakulikuya Litala lya Ambuje pasikati ja ŵandu. Pelepo che Paolo ŵaalesile, ŵaajigele ŵakulijiganya ŵa Ambuje ni ŵaliji nkukunguluka nawo moŵa gose mu chuumba chakulijiganyila chi che Tulona.
Lakini Bhayahudi bhangi bhajhele bhakaidi na bhabhi belakutii, bhakajhanda kujobha mabhibhi kuhusu njela jha Kristu mbele jha bhumati. Basi Paulo akalekana nabhu ni kubhatenga bhabhikiera patali nabhu. Nu muene akajhanda kulongela kila ligono mu ukumbi bhwa Tirano.
10 Yeleyo yatendekwe yaka iŵili mpaka ŵandu wose ŵaŵatamaga ku Asia ni Ŵayahudi pamo ni Ŵagiliki, ŵapilikene Liloŵe lya Ambuje.
Ejhe jhayendelili kwa miaka mibhele, kwa hiyo bhoha bhakajha bhiishi ku Asia bhap'eliki lilobhi lya Bwana, bhoha Bhayahudi ni Bhayunani.
11 Akunnungu ŵapanganyisye yakusimonjeka yejinji kwa makono ga che Paolo.
K'yara akajha ibhomba mambo mabaha kumabhoko gha Paulo,
12 Ŵandu ŵajigalaga namose iguo ya mwana ni iwalo ine iŵaikwaiye che Paolo, ŵaijawisye kwa ŵakulwala ni ŵakulwala wo ŵalamiswe ilwele yao, ni aŵala ŵaŵakwete masoka gaakopweche.
Kwamba hata bhatamu bhaponyisibhu, ni roho bhabhibhi bhahomili wkati bho bhatolili leso ni ngobho sya sihomili mu mbele bhwa Paulo.
13 Ŵayahudi ŵampepe ŵakugaŵinga masoka mwa ŵandu, ŵajesilejesile akuno ni akunokuno achilingaga kulikolanga liina lya Ambuje Che Yesu, kwa ŵele ŵaŵakwete masoka achitiji, “Ngunsalila kwa liina lya Ambuje Che Yesu jwakulalichilwa ni che Paolo, ntyoche.”
Lakini bhayele Bhayahudi bhapunga pepo bhakajha bhisafiri kupetela lieneo elu, bhakajha bhalalitumila lihina lya Ysu kwandabha jha matumizi gha bhene. Bhakajobhele bhala bhabhajheni pepo bhachafu: Bhakajobha, “Nikabhaarumuru mubhokayi kwa lihina lya Yesu ambaye Paulo akamhubiri.”
14 Ŵaŵatendaga yeleyo, ŵaliji ŵanache nsano ni ŵaŵili wa che Sikewa Jŵambopesi Jwankulu jwa Chiyahudi.
Bhabhakabhobi agha bhajhele bhana saba bha kuhani mbaha bhwa Kiyahudi, Sekewa.
15 Nambo lisoka lila lyaajanjile ŵanyawo, “Che Yesu ngwamanyilila ni che Paolo nombejo ngummanyilila, nambo ŵanyamwe ndi ŵaani?”
Roho bhachafu bhakabhajibu, “Yesu ni mmanyili, ni Paulo ni mmanyili, lakini muene bha niani?”
16 Nipele jwamasoka jo ŵasumbile ni kwagalagasya mpaka ŵanache ŵa che Sikewa wo ŵautwiche mu nyuumba jo ali matakope ni maŵanga gakwe.
Roho nchafu jhola mugati mwa munu akabhanukila bhapunga pepo ni kubhatola nghofu ni kubhatosha. Ndipo bhakajumba kuhoma mu nyumba jhela bhakajha ngoli ni kujeruhibhwa.
17 Ngani ji jamanyiche kwa jwalijose juŵatamaga ku Efeso, kutandila Myahudi kwichila Ŵagiliki. Wose ŵakamwilwe ni lipamba, ni ŵalikusisye liina lya Ambuje Che Yesu.
Lijambo ele lyamanyikene kwa bhoha, Bhayahudi ni Bhayunani, ambabho bhatamili okhu Efeso. Bhakajha ni hofu sana ni lihina lya Bwana lyazidili kuheshimibhwa.
18 Ŵajinji mwa ŵele ŵaŵakulupilile Che Yesu ŵaiche ni ŵajitichisye paujo pa ŵandu yangalimate iŵaitesile.
Kabhele, bhingi bha bhaumini bhahidili ni kuungama na bhadhihirishi matendo mabhibhi bhaghabhombili.
19 Ŵane ŵaŵatendaga usaŵi ndanda jo, ŵajigele itabu yao iŵaitendelaga usaŵi yo ni kwijocha paujo pa ŵandu. Ŵaŵalasile ntengo wa itabu yo ni kusimana mbiya syesijinji.
Bhingi bhabhombeghe uganga bhabhongeniye fitabu fya bhene, bhekafinyanya mbele jha kila munu. Bwakati bhene bhibhalanga thamani jha fenu efu, jhajhele fipandi hamsini elfu fya hela.
20 Kwanti yeleyo, Liloŵe lya Ambuje lyapundile ni kwenela ni kola machili nnope.
Efyo lilobhi lya Bwana lyajhenili kwa upana sana kwa ngofu.
21 Payamasile yeleyo, che Paolo ŵasachile kwaula ku Yelusalemu achipitilaga ku Makedonia ni ku Akaya. Ŵatite, “Pachiiche kweleko, ikuumajila kwaula ku Loma nombe.”
Jha Paulo kukamilisya huduma jha muene khola Efeso, Roho akandongosya kulota Yerusalemu kupetela Makedonia ni Akaya; Akajobha, “Baada jha kujha okhu, jhilondeka kulota Rumi kabhele.”
22 Ni ŵalajisye ŵaŵili mwa ŵakwakamuchisya ŵao, che Timoseo ni che Elasto, kuti ŵalongolele ku Makedonia ni nsyene ŵasigalile mu Asia kwa katema.
Paulo akabhalaghisya Makedonia bhanafunzi bha muene bhabhele, Timotheo ni Erasto, ambabho bhajhele bhan'saidili. Lakini muene asiele Asia kwa muda.
23 Katema ko ni katema kakatyochele utinda wekulungwa ku Efeso ko ligongo lya Litala lya Ambuje.
Wakati obhu kwatokili ghasia mbaha okhu Efeso kuhusu njela jhela.
24 Jwapali mundu liina lyakwe che Demetilio jwakusyana madini ga feza. Jweleju ŵaliji ni masengo ga kolosya inyago ya nyuumba sya mwana sisyaliji mpela nyuumba ja nnungu jwankongwe jwakuŵilanjikwa Atemi. Masengo go gaapokasisye kwannope ŵamasengo ŵao.
Sonara mmonga lihina lya muene Demetrio, ambajhe atengenisi fisanamu fya hela fya K'yara Diana, aletili biashara mbaha kwa mafundi.
25 Che Demetilio ŵasongangenye ŵamasengo ŵao pamo ni ŵandu ŵane ŵaŵaliji ŵamasengo mpela gagogo pego ni kwasalila, “Ŵandumwe, nkumanyililanga kuti ipanje yetu itukupata yi ikukopoka mmalonda gagaga pega.
Efyo akabhabhonganiya mafundi bha mbombo ejhu ni kujobha, “Bhaheshimibhwa, mmanyili kujha mu biashara ejhe tete twijhingisya hela simehele.
26 Sano nkulola ni kulipikanila mwachinsyene che Paolo yakuti pakupanganya, nombe ngaŵa pa Efeso pe nambo pa Asia pose. Che Paolo ju ŵaachisisye ni kwagalausya ŵandu ajitichisye kuti achiminungu ŵapanganyiswe ni makono ga ŵandu ngaŵa achiminungu ŵa usyene.
Mwilola ni kupeleka kujha, si apa tu Efeso, bali karibia Asia jhioha, Paulo ojho abhashawishi ni kubhageusya bhanu bhingi. Ijobha kujha ijhelepi miungu ambayo jhibhombiki kwa mabhoko.
27 Nipele kupikaniche kuti malonda getu ga chigajaluche. Ni ngaŵa malonda getu pega, nambo ni nyuumba ja nnungu jwankongwe Atemi ngajichimbichikwa kose. Ni mbesi jakwe lumbili lwa ŵelewo ŵakunlamba ŵa Asia wose ni ŵandu wose ŵa mchilambo chiuchimala.”
Na sio tu jhijhele hatari kujha biashara jha tete jhibetakujha jhilondeka lepi, lakini kabhele ni hekalu lya K'yara n'dala jha ajhe mbaha Diana ibhwesya kutolibhwa kujha ajhelepi ni maana. Kabhele ngaabhwesili hata kujhasya ubhaha bhwa muene, muene ambajhe Asia ni dunia bhakamwabudu.”
28 Ŵandu ŵala paŵapilikene yeleyo yaachimile kwannope ni kutanda gumilanga achitiji, “Jwankulu ali Atemi jwa Ŵaefeso!”
Bho bhapeliki agha, bhamemibhu ni ligoga ni kujhuegha, bhakajobha, “Diana ghwa bhaefeso ndo mbaha.”
29 Musi wose wagumbele utindiganyo. Ni ŵaakamwile che Gayo ni che Alisitako, ŵaŵatamaga ku Makedonia ŵaŵaliji mu ulendo umo ni che Paolo, ni ŵaajawisye kwa kwanguya kuluŵala lwa micheso.
Mji bhuoha bhwameli ligoga, ni bhanu bhakajumba pamonga mugati mu ukumbi bhwa michezo. Bhakabhakamila bhasafiri bhajhinu ni Paulo, Gayo ni Aristariko, bhabhahomili Makedonia.
30 Che Paolo nsyene ŵasachile kwinjila mu mpingo wa ŵandu mula nambo ŵakwakuya ŵala ŵankanyisye.
Paulo alondeghe kujhingila mu umati bhwa bhanu, lakini bhanafunzi bhakambesya.
31 Achakulu ŵane ŵa chilambo cha ku Asia ŵaliji achambusanga ŵao che Paolo, ŵapelechele utenga wakwachondelela kuti akalijausya nsyene ku luŵala lwa micheso ko.
Kabhele, baadhi jha maafisa bha mkoa ghwa Asia ambabho bhajhele marafiki bha muene bhakandetela ujumbe kwa nghofo kunsoka asijhingili mu ukumbi bhwa michezo.
32 Katema ko kila mundu jwagumisile, ŵane achi ni ŵane achila, pakuŵa nkungulu ula waliji jugulijuguli, ŵajinji nganaimanyililanga ligongo lya kusongangana kwao.
Baadhi jha bhanu bhakajha bhijobha khenu ekhe ni bhangi lijambo lela, kwa ndabha umati bhwa bhanu bhwachanganyikibhu bhingi bhabhwesilepi hata kumanya kwandayakiki bhahidi pamonga.
33 Pakuŵa Ŵayahudi ŵantesile che Alekisanda akopoche mmbujo mwa ŵandu, ŵandu ŵampepe mu mpingo mula ŵaganisisye kuti ali jwelejo. Nipele che Alekisanda ŵajongwele nkono ni kwamyalasya achisakaga kuliŵalanga paujo pa mpingo wa ŵandu.
Bhayahudi bhakandeta Iskanda kwibhala jha umati bhwa bhanu ni kumbeka panani mbele jha bhanu. Iskanda akapisya ishara kwa kibhoko kya muene kupisya majhelesu kwa bhanu.
34 Nambo paŵammanyilile kuti ŵaliji Myahudi, wose ŵagumisile kwana kamo kwa masaa gaŵili, “Jwankulu ali Atemi jwa Ŵaefeso!”
Lakini bho bhamanyili kujha muene Myahudi, bhoha bhajhwegili kwa sauti jhimonga kwa muda ghwa masaa mabhele, “Diana ndo mbaha ghwa Bhaefeso.”
35 Mbesi, jwakulemba jwa pamusi po ŵakombwele kwamyalasya, ŵaasalile, “Ŵanyamwe ŵandu ŵa ku Efeso, kila mundu pelepa akumanyilila kuti ŵandu ŵa musi wa Efeso wu, ni ŵakujilindilila nyuumba ja nnungu Atemi, ni ŵakuligosa liganga lyeswela lilyagwile kutyochela kwinani lila.
Baada jha karani ghwa mji kubhugudamisya umati, ajobhili, 'Muenga bhagosi bha Efeso, niani jha amanyilepi mji obho bhwa Efeso ndo ntunzaji ghwa hekalu lya Diana mbaha ni picha jhela jhajhaguili kuhomela kumbinguni?
36 Ngapagwa jwalijose jwakukombola kukanila yeleyo. Nipele mmyalalanje, nkatenda chachili chose kwakwanguya.
Kulola kujha mambo agha ghibhwesekakalepi, twilondeka kujha ni utulivu na msibhombi kyokyoha kwa haraka.
37 Mwaŵilasile ŵandu ŵa pelepa namuno nganajinyelusya nyuumba ja nnungu pane kuntukana nnungu jwetu jwankongwe.
Kwandabha mubhakutili bhanu abha pa mahakama ambabho bhah'ejilepi bha hekalu wala sio bha kun'kufuru K'yara watete n'dala.
38 Nipele, iŵaga che Demetilio ni ŵamasengo ŵao akwete magambo gao nkati ŵandu ŵa, mikungulu jipali ni achakulu ŵa ilambo nombe nawo apali, akukombola kuŵechetelana kweleko.
Henu, kama Demetrio ni mafundi bhabhajhe pamonga nabhu bhajhe ni mashtaka dhidi jha munu jhejhioha, mahakama sijhewazi ni maliwali bhajhele. Na bhaletibhwayi mbele jha shauri.
39 Nambo iŵaga kwana magambo gane njausye ku nkungulu waukukundikwa.
Lakini kama bhebhe wilonda kyokyoha kuhusu mambo ghangi, ghibeta kushughulikibhwamu kikao halali.
40 Pakuŵa akakombwele kutuŵechetela ligongo lya kutindiganya kwatukutesile lelo jino. Kutindiganya ku nganilipagwa ligongo ni sooni ngatukombola kusala ligongo lya kutenda nkungulu wu.”
Kwa kweli tujhele mu hatari jha kutuhumibhwa kuhusu ghasia ligono ele. Ijhelepi sababu jha machafuko agha na kubetakujha ni uwezo bhwa kughajhelesya.
41 Paŵamasile kuŵecheta yeleyo, ŵamwasisye ŵandu ŵaŵasongangene wo.
Baada jha kujobha agha, abhatawenye makutano.
