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 earnestly testified and having spoken the word of the Lord (were travelling back *N(k)O*) to Jerusalem, to many then villages of the Samaritans (they were evangelising. *N(k)O*)
26 Katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje ŵansalile che Filipo, “Nliŵiche chile njaule kulujenda ku litala lyalikupitila mwipululu lyalikutuluchila ku Yelusalemu kwaula ku Gaza.”
An angel now of [the] Lord spoke to Philip saying; do rise up and do go toward [the] south to the road which is going down from Jerusalem to Gaza; This is [the] desert [road].
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 risen up he went; And behold a man an Ethiopian a eunuch a potentate of Candace (the *k*) queen of Ethiopians, who was over all the treasure of her, who had come to then worship to Jerusalem,
28 Paŵaujaga, ŵatemi mmutuka akuno ali nkusyoma chitabu chi che Isaya jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
he was (then *NK(o)*) returning and sitting in the chariot of him and he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
29 Nipele, Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵansalile che Filipo, “Mmandichile mutuka jo ni kulongana najo.”
Said then the Spirit to Philip; do go near and do be joined to the chariot this [one].
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?”
Having run up then Philip heard when he is reading Isaiah the prophet and said; Surely not also understand you what you are 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 for maybe would I be able only unless someone (will guide *N(k)O*) me? He invited then Philip 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.
Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this: As a sheep to slaughter He was led, and as a lamb before the [one who] (shearing *N(k)O*) him [is] silent, so not He opens the mouth of Him.
33 Ŵachembulwisye ni kwaonela. Ngapagwa juchakombole kuŵecheta yankati uŵelesi wakwe, pakuŵa umi wakwe ujigalikwe kutyochela pachilambo.”
In the humiliation of Him justice from Him was taken away, The (now *k*) generation of Him who will describe? For is removed from the earth the life of Him.
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?”
Answering now the eunuch to Philip said; I pray you, concerning whom the prophet says this? Concerning himself, or concerning other some?
35 Nipele, che Filipo ŵatandilile pelepo pa Malembelo ga Akunnungu ŵansalile Ngani Jambone ji Che Yesu.
Having opened then Philip the mouth of him and having begun from Scripture this he evangelised to him [about] 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?”
As then they were going along the road, they came upon some water and says the eunuch; Behold water; what prevents me to be baptized?
37 Che Filipo ŵatite, “Mwakulupililaga ni ntima wenu wose nkukombola kubatiswa.” Nombejo ŵatite, “Elo ngukulupilila kuti Che Yesu Kilisito ali Mwana jwa Akunnungu.”
(said now Philip: if believe you from all the heart it is lawful. answering now said: I believe the son of God to be Jesus Christ. *K*)
38 Mundu jula ŵalamwile mutuka jijime, ni ŵanawose ŵaŵili ŵatulwiche ni kwinjila mmeesi, che Filipo ŵambatisye mundu jula.
And he commanded to stop the chariot, And they went down both to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized 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.
When now they came up out of the water, [the] Spirit of [the] Lord carried away Philip, and not saw him no longer no longer the eunuch; he was going for the way of him rejoicing.
40 Nambo che Filipo ŵalisimene aiche mmusi wa ku Azoto, ni paŵapitaga ŵaalalichile ŵandu Ngani Jambone mmisi jose mpaka ŵaiche ku Kaisalia.
Philip however was found at Azotus, and passing through he was evangelising to the towns all until coming of him to Caesarea.
