Masengo 8
1 Lyuŵa lilyolyo gatandite malagasyo gannope kwa mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵa ku Yelusalemu. Ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wose ŵapwilingene mu ilambo ya ku Yudea ni ku Samalia, akaŵe achinduna pe.
And Saul was assenting to his death, and there came in that day a great persecution on the Assembly in Jerusalem, all were also scattered abroad in the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles;
2 Ŵandu ŵakwajogopa Akunnungu ŵansichile che Stefano ni kwalilila kwa malumbo gamakulungwa.
and devout men carried Stephen away, and made great lamentation over him;
3 Nambo che Sauli ŵalinjile kuuwesesya mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito. Ŵajawile mu nyuumba jajili jose ni kwakoposya paasa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu wose achalume ni achakongwe ni kwaŵika mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa.
and Saul was making havoc of the Assembly, entering into every house, and dragging away men and women, giving them up to prison;
4 Aŵala ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu ŵaŵapwilingene ŵajesilejesile mosemose achilalichilaga Ngani Jambone.
they then indeed, having been scattered, went abroad proclaiming good news—the word.
5 Che Filipo nombe ŵajinjile mu mmusi wauli ku chilambo cha ku Samalia achilalichilaga ngani ja Kilisito ni Akunnungu kwa ŵandu ŵakutama pelepo.
And Philip having gone down to a city of Samaria, was preaching the Christ to them;
6 Mpingo wa ŵandu paŵagapilikene maloŵe gaŵaŵechete che Filipo ni kwiwona imanyisyo iŵaitesile, wose ŵaapilikanichisye kwa uchenene.
the multitudes were also giving heed to the things spoken by Philip, with one accord, in their hearing and seeing the signs that he was doing,
7 Pakuŵa ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaŵakwete masoka, gakopweche gachigumilaga kwa liloŵe lyekulungwa. Ni sooni ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaŵatatele iŵalo ni ŵaŵalemele ŵalamiswe.
for unclean spirits came forth from many who were possessed, crying with a loud voice, and many who have been paralytic and lame were healed,
8 Nipele kwaliji ni kusengwa kwakukulungwa mmusi wo.
and there was great joy in that city.
9 Jwapali mundu jumo liina lyakwe che Simoni juŵatendaga usaŵi mmusi mo kwa moŵa gamajinji ni kwasimosya ŵandu ŵa ku Samalia, achilitendaga kuti jwelejo ali jwankulu.
And a certain man, by name Simon, was previously in the city using magic, and amazing the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be a certain great one,
10 Ŵandu wose chitandile jwannandi kwichila jwankulungwa ŵampilikene jwelejo ni kuti, “Mundu ju akwete ukombole wa Akunnungu waukuŵilanjikwa ‘Ukombole Weukulungwa.’”
to whom they were all giving heed, from small to great, saying, “This one is the great power of God”;
11 Ŵampilikanichisye jwelejo pakuŵa ŵaasimosisye kwa moŵa gamajinji kwa usaŵi wakwe.
and they were giving heed to him, because of his having amazed them for a long time with deeds of magic.
12 Nambo paŵaukulupilile utenga u che Filipo nkati Ngani Jambone ja Umwenye wa Akunnungu ni ngani ji Che Yesu Kilisito, ŵabatiswe achalume ni achakongwe.
And when they believed Philip, proclaiming good news, the things concerning the Kingdom of God and the Name of Jesus Christ, they were immersed—both men and women;
13 Che Simoni nombejo ŵakulupilile, ni paŵabatiswe, ŵajesile ni che Filipo, ŵasimosile paŵaiweni imanyisyo ni yakusimonjeka iyatendekwe.
and Simon himself also believed, and having been immersed, he was continuing with Philip, beholding also signs and mighty acts being done, he was amazed.
14 Achinduna ŵaŵaliji ku Yelusalemu paŵapilikene kuti ŵandu ŵa ku Samalia nombewo ajitichisye Liloŵe lya Akunnungu, ŵaatumile che Petulo ni che Yohana kukwao.
And the apostles in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria has received the word of God, sent Peter and John to them,
15 Che Petulo ni che Yohana paŵaiche kweleko ŵaapopelele ŵakukulupilila ŵala kuti ampochele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu,
who having come down prayed concerning them, that they may receive the Holy Spirit—
16 pakuŵa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵaliji akanantuluchile mundu jwalijose mwa ŵanyawo, nambo ŵagambile kubatiswa pe kwa liina lya Ambuje Che Yesu.
for as yet He was fallen on none of them, and only they have been immersed—into the Name of the Lord Jesus;
17 Nipele, che Petulo ni che Yohana ŵaasajichile makono gao ŵakukulupilila wala, ni ŵapochele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
then they were laying hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
18 Pelepo che Simoni paŵaimanyi kuti ŵandu akupegwa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu kwa kusajichilwa makono ga achinduna, ŵasachile kwapa mbiya che Petulo ni che Yohana
And Simon, having beheld that through the laying on of the hands of the apostles the Holy Spirit is given, brought money before them,
19 achitiji, “Mumbeje none jwakwe ukombole wo kuti mundu jwalijose juchingansajichile makono ampochele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.”
saying, “Give also to me this authority, that on whomsoever I may lay the hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.”
20 Nambo che Petulo ŵansalile, “Njonasiche mwasyene pamo ni mbiya syenu, pakuŵa nkuganisya kuti nkukombola kusuma ukombole wa Akunnungu kwa mbiya!
And Peter said to him, “Your silver with you—may it be to destruction! Because you thought to possess the gift of God through money;
21 Nganinkola chachili chose atamuno lipesa pamasengo go pakuŵa ntima wenu nganiuŵa wambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
you have neither part nor lot in this thing, for your heart is not right before God;
22 Kwapele nleche ungalumbana wenu wu, ni kwapopela Ambuje nombewo panepa channechelesye sambi sya kuganisya yeleyo.
convert, therefore, from this your wickedness, and implore God, if then the purpose of your heart may be forgiven you,
23 Pakuŵa ngummona mgumbele ligogo ni sooni ntaŵikwe ni sambi!”
for in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness, I perceive you being.”
24 Che Simoni ŵajanjile, “Ngummenda mwanya mumbopelele kwa Ambuje ganaiche kuumbata gagaligose mwa gelego gansasile go.”
And Simon answering, said, “Implore for me to the LORD, that nothing may come on me of the things you have spoken.”
25 Che Petulo ni che Yohana paŵamalisisye kuŵalanga umboni ni kulalichila Liloŵe lya Ambuje, ŵaujile ku Yelusalemu. Paŵaujaga ŵaalalichile ŵandu Ngani Jambone mmisinda jejinji ja ku Samalia.
They indeed, therefore, having testified fully, and spoken the word of the LORD, turned back to Jerusalem; they also proclaimed good news in many villages of the Samaritans.
26 Katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje ŵansalile che Filipo, “Nliŵiche chile njaule kulujenda ku litala lyalikupitila mwipululu lyalikutuluchila ku Yelusalemu kwaula ku Gaza.”
And a messenger of the LORD spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise, and go on toward the south, on the way that is going down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This is desolate.)
27 Nipele, che Filipo ŵaliŵisile chile ni kutanda ulendo. Katema ko kwaliji ni mundu jwa ku Esiopia jwakugosa mbiya mu umwenye wa Kandake mwenye jwankongwe jwa ku Esiopia, mundu jo ŵatamaga liuli. Jwelejo ŵajawile ku Yelusalemu kukwapopela Akunnungu, ni katema ko ŵaliji nkuuja ali akwesile mutuka ja kukwekwelemya.
And having arisen, he went on, and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a man of rank, of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship;
28 Paŵaujaga, ŵatemi mmutuka akuno ali nkusyoma chitabu chi che Isaya jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
he was also returning, and is sitting on his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
29 Nipele, Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵansalile che Filipo, “Mmandichile mutuka jo ni kulongana najo.”
And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near, and be joined to this chariot”;
30 Che Filipo ŵautwiche ni kujiŵandichila mutuka jila, ŵampilikene mundu jula ali nkusyoma chitabu chi che Isaya jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu. Pelepo che Filipo ŵammusisye, “Ana nkuimanyilila uchenene inkusyoma yo?”
and Philip having run near, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah and said, “Do you then know what you read?”
31 Mundu jo ŵanjanjile, “Ana chingombole uli kuimanyilila pangali mundu jwakundagulila?” Pelepo ŵanchondelele che Filipo kuti akwele mu mutuka ni kutama pamo nawo.
And he said, “Why, how am I able, if someone may not guide me?” He called Philip also, having come up, to sit with him.
32 Ni liunjili lya Malembelo ga Akunnungu liŵaliji nkusyoma ni ali, “Ŵaliji mpela ngondolo jiŵajijausyaga kukujisinga, ŵamyalele mpela mwanangondolo pakunkata manyunya, Nombewo nganaŵecheta chachili chose.
And the passage of the Writing that he was reading was this: “He was led as a sheep to slaughter, And as a lamb before his shearer is silent, So He does not open His mouth;
33 Ŵachembulwisye ni kwaonela. Ngapagwa juchakombole kuŵecheta yankati uŵelesi wakwe, pakuŵa umi wakwe ujigalikwe kutyochela pachilambo.”
In His humiliation His judgment was taken away, And His generation—who will declare? Because His life is taken from the earth.”
34 Mundu jwa ku Esiopia jo ŵansalile che Filipo, “Choonde musalile, jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu ju akuŵecheta yankati ŵaani? Ana akuŵecheta yankati nsyene pane mundu jwine?”
And the eunuch answering Philip said, “I beg you, about whom does the prophet say this? About himself, or about some other one?”
35 Nipele, che Filipo ŵatandilile pelepo pa Malembelo ga Akunnungu ŵansalile Ngani Jambone ji Che Yesu.
And Philip having opened his mouth, and having begun from this Writing, proclaimed good news to him—Jesus.
36 Paŵaliji chiŵela ni ulendo wo, ŵaiche pagali meesi, ni juŵatamaga liuli jula ŵatite, “Peuto pa kwana meesi, ana kwana chachili chose chakuunekasya une ninabatiswe?”
And as they were going on the way, they came on some water, and the eunuch said, “Behold, water; what hinders me to be immersed?”
37 Che Filipo ŵatite, “Mwakulupililaga ni ntima wenu wose nkukombola kubatiswa.” Nombejo ŵatite, “Elo ngukulupilila kuti Che Yesu Kilisito ali Mwana jwa Akunnungu.”
[[And Philip said, “If you believe out of all the heart, it is lawful”; and he answering said, “I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God”; ]]
38 Mundu jula ŵalamwile mutuka jijime, ni ŵanawose ŵaŵili ŵatulwiche ni kwinjila mmeesi, che Filipo ŵambatisye mundu jula.
and he commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he immersed him;
39 Paŵakopweche mmeesi papopo Mbumu jwa Ambuje ŵanjigele che Filipo ni mundu jwa ku Esiopia jula nganambona sooni che Filipo, nambo ŵajendelechele ni ulendo achisengwaga.
and when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the LORD snatched up Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more, for he was going on his way rejoicing;
40 Nambo che Filipo ŵalisimene aiche mmusi wa ku Azoto, ni paŵapitaga ŵaalalichile ŵandu Ngani Jambone mmisi jose mpaka ŵaiche ku Kaisalia.
and Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through, he was proclaiming good news to all the cities, until his coming to Caesarea.
