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 taking pleasure with them in his death. Moreover there arose, in that day, a great persecution against the assembly which was in Jerusalem; [and], all, were scattered abroad throughout the countries of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.
2 Ŵandu ŵakwajogopa Akunnungu ŵansichile che Stefano ni kwalilila kwa malumbo gamakulungwa.
Howbeit reverent men assisted at the burial of Stephen, 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.
But, Saul, went on to lay waste the assembly, along the houses, going in, and, dragging off both men and women, was
4 Aŵala ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu ŵaŵapwilingene ŵajesilejesile mosemose achilalichilaga Ngani Jambone.
They, indeed, therefore, who were scattered abroad, passed through, telling the good-news of 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, going down unto the city of Samaria, proclaimed unto them the Christ.
6 Mpingo wa ŵandu paŵagapilikene maloŵe gaŵaŵechete che Filipo ni kwiwona imanyisyo iŵaitesile, wose ŵaapilikanichisye kwa uchenene.
And the multitudes began to give heed unto the things that were being spoken by Philip, with one accord, when they heard him, and saw the signs which he was working.
7 Pakuŵa ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaŵakwete masoka, gakopweche gachigumilaga kwa liloŵe lyekulungwa. Ni sooni ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaŵatatele iŵalo ni ŵaŵalemele ŵalamiswe.
For, from many who had impure spirits, shouting with a loud voice, they were going out, and, many that were paralysed and lame, were cured.
8 Nipele kwaliji ni kusengwa kwakukulungwa mmusi wo.
And there came to be 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.
But, a certain man named Simon, was already in the city, practising magical arts, and astonishing the nation of Samaria, —saying that himself was someone great:
10 Ŵandu wose chitandile jwannandi kwichila jwankulungwa ŵampilikene jwelejo ni kuti, “Mundu ju akwete ukombole wa Akunnungu waukuŵilanjikwa ‘Ukombole Weukulungwa.’”
Unto whom all were giving heed, from small even to great, saying—This, is the Power of God, which is called Great.
11 Ŵampilikanichisye jwelejo pakuŵa ŵaasimosisye kwa moŵa gamajinji kwa usaŵi wakwe.
And they were giving heed to him, because that, for a considerable time, with his magical arts, he had astonished them.
12 Nambo paŵaukulupilile utenga u che Filipo nkati Ngani Jambone ja Umwenye wa Akunnungu ni ngani ji Che Yesu Kilisito, ŵabatiswe achalume ni achakongwe.
But, when they believed Philip telling the good news concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they proceeded to be 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, was in constant attendance on Philip, —and, beholding signs and great works of power coming to pass, was astonished.
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 who were in Jerusalem, hearing that Samaria had welcomed the word of God, sent out unto them Peter and John;
15 Che Petulo ni che Yohana paŵaiche kweleko ŵaapopelele ŵakukulupilila ŵala kuti ampochele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu,
Who, indeed, going down, prayed for them, that they might receive Holy Spirit; —
16 pakuŵa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵaliji akanantuluchile mundu jwalijose mwa ŵanyawo, nambo ŵagambile kubatiswa pe kwa liina lya Ambuje Che Yesu.
For, not yet, had it, upon any one of them, fallen, but, only, to begin with, they had 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, proceeded they to lay their hands upon them, and they were receiving 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
But Simon, seeing that, through means of the laying on of the hands of the Apostles, the Spirit was being given, offered unto them money,
19 achitiji, “Mumbeje none jwakwe ukombole wo kuti mundu jwalijose juchingansajichile makono ampochele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.”
Saying—Give unto me also this authority, —in order that, on whomsoever may lay my hands, he may receive 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 unto him—Thy silver, with thee, go to destruction! Because, the free-gift of God, thou didst suppose could, with money, be obtained!
21 Nganinkola chachili chose atamuno lipesa pamasengo go pakuŵa ntima wenu nganiuŵa wambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter; for, thy heart, is not upright before God.
22 Kwapele nleche ungalumbana wenu wu, ni kwapopela Ambuje nombewo panepa channechelesye sambi sya kuganisya yeleyo.
Repent, therefore, from this thy baseness, and entreat of the Lord—whether, after all, the purpose of thy heart shall be forgiven thee;
23 Pakuŵa ngummona mgumbele ligogo ni sooni ntaŵikwe ni sambi!”
For see that thou servest as a gall-root of bitterness, and a bond of unrighteousness.
24 Che Simoni ŵajanjile, “Ngummenda mwanya mumbopelele kwa Ambuje ganaiche kuumbata gagaligose mwa gelego gansasile go.”
And Simon, answering, said—Entreat ye, in my behalf, unto the Lord; that, nothing, may come upon me, of the things whereof ye 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, therefore, having fully borne witness, and spoken the word of the Lord, began their return unto Jerusalem, and, unto many villages of the Samaritans, were they telling the glad tidings.
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, spake unto Philip, saying—Arise, and be journeying along southward, unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, —the same, is desert.
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, arising, he journeyed. And lo! a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, one in power under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure [who] had come to worship in Jerusalem;
28 Paŵaujaga, ŵatemi mmutuka akuno ali nkusyoma chitabu chi che Isaya jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
And was returning, and, sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
29 Nipele, Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵansalile che Filipo, “Mmandichile mutuka jo ni kulongana najo.”
And the Spirit said unto Philip—Go near, and join thyself unto 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, running near, Philip heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said—Dost thou, then, understand what thou art reading?
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—How indeed should be able—unless someone shall guide me? And he called upon Philip, to come up and 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.
Now, the passage of Scripture which he was reading, was, this: —As a sheep, unto slaughter, was he led, and, as a lamb, before him that sheareth it, is dumb, so, he openeth not 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, —his generation, who shall describe? because, his life, is taken away 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, making answer unto Philip, said—I pray thee! Of whom, is the prophet saying this? of himself, or, of some different person?
35 Nipele, che Filipo ŵatandilile pelepo pa Malembelo ga Akunnungu ŵansalile Ngani Jambone ji Che Yesu.
And Philip, opening his mouth, and beginning from this scripture, told him the glad tidings of 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 journeying along the way, they came unto a certain water, —and the eunuch saith—Lo! water! What doth hinder my being immersed?
37 Che Filipo ŵatite, “Mwakulupililaga ni ntima wenu wose nkukombola kubatiswa.” Nombejo ŵatite, “Elo ngukulupilila kuti Che Yesu Kilisito ali Mwana jwa Akunnungu.”
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 went down, both, into 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.
But, when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away 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.
Now Philip was found at Azotus; and, passing through, he was telling the glad tidings unto all the cities, until he came unto Caesarea.
