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.
Saul was in agreement with his death. So there began on that day a great persecution against the church that was in Jerusalem; and the believers were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.
2 Ŵandu ŵakwajogopa Akunnungu ŵansichile che Stefano ni kwalilila kwa malumbo gamakulungwa.
Devout men buried 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 greatly harmed the church; he went into house after house and dragged out men and women, and put them into prison.
4 Aŵala ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu ŵaŵapwilingene ŵajesilejesile mosemose achilalichilaga Ngani Jambone.
Yet the believers who had been scattered went about proclaiming 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.
Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ.
6 Mpingo wa ŵandu paŵagapilikene maloŵe gaŵaŵechete che Filipo ni kwiwona imanyisyo iŵaitesile, wose ŵaapilikanichisye kwa uchenene.
When multitudes of people heard and saw the signs that Philip did, they paid attention together to what he said.
7 Pakuŵa ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaŵakwete masoka, gakopweche gachigumilaga kwa liloŵe lyekulungwa. Ni sooni ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaŵatatele iŵalo ni ŵaŵalemele ŵalamiswe.
Unclean spirits came out of many who were possessed, crying out with a loud voice, and many who were paralyzed and lame were healed.
8 Nipele kwaliji ni kusengwa kwakukulungwa mmusi wo.
So there was much 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 there was a certain man in the city named Simon, who had earlier been practicing sorcery; he used to astonish the people of Samaria, while claiming that he was an important person.
10 Ŵandu wose chitandile jwannandi kwichila jwankulungwa ŵampilikene jwelejo ni kuti, “Mundu ju akwete ukombole wa Akunnungu waukuŵilanjikwa ‘Ukombole Weukulungwa.’”
All the Samaritans, from the least to the greatest, paid attention to him; they said, “This man is that power of God which is called Great.”
11 Ŵampilikanichisye jwelejo pakuŵa ŵaasimosisye kwa moŵa gamajinji kwa usaŵi wakwe.
They listened to him, because he had astonished them for a long time with his sorceries.
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 as he proclaimed the good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
13 Che Simoni nombejo ŵakulupilile, ni paŵabatiswe, ŵajesile ni che Filipo, ŵasimosile paŵaiweni imanyisyo ni yakusimonjeka iyatendekwe.
Even Simon himself believed, and after he was baptized he stayed with Philip constantly. When he saw signs and mighty deeds taking place, 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.
Now when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John.
15 Che Petulo ni che Yohana paŵaiche kweleko ŵaapopelele ŵakukulupilila ŵala kuti ampochele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu,
When they had come down, they prayed for them, that they might 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 until that time, the Holy Spirit had not come upon any of them; they had only been baptized 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 Peter and John placed their 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
Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money.
19 achitiji, “Mumbeje none jwakwe ukombole wo kuti mundu jwalijose juchingansajichile makono ampochele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.”
He said, “Give me this power, too, that whoever I place my hands on might 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!
But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish along with you, because you thought to obtain the gift of God with money.
21 Nganinkola chachili chose atamuno lipesa pamasengo go pakuŵa ntima wenu nganiuŵa wambone paujo pa Akunnungu.
You have no part or share in this matter, because your heart is not right with God.
22 Kwapele nleche ungalumbana wenu wu, ni kwapopela Ambuje nombewo panepa channechelesye sambi sya kuganisya yeleyo.
Therefore repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord, so that he might perhaps forgive you for the intention of your heart.
23 Pakuŵa ngummona mgumbele ligogo ni sooni ntaŵikwe ni sambi!”
For I see that you are in the poison of bitterness and in the bonds of sin.”
24 Che Simoni ŵajanjile, “Ngummenda mwanya mumbopelele kwa Ambuje ganaiche kuumbata gagaligose mwa gelego gansasile go.”
Simon answered and said, “Pray to the Lord for me, so that nothing you have said may happen to me.”
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.
When they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, Peter and John returned to Jerusalem, proclaiming the gospel to 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.”
Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip and said, “Arise and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This road is in a 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.
He arose and went. Behold, there was a man from Cush, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Cushites. He was in charge of all her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship.
28 Paŵaujaga, ŵatemi mmutuka akuno ali nkusyoma chitabu chi che Isaya jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
He 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.”
The Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and stay close 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?”
So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand 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.
The Cushite said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” He begged Philip to come up into the chariot 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 the scripture which the Ethiopian was reading was this, “He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
33 Ŵachembulwisye ni kwaonela. Ngapagwa juchakombole kuŵecheta yankati uŵelesi wakwe, pakuŵa umi wakwe ujigalikwe kutyochela pachilambo.”
In his humiliation justice was taken away from him. Who can fully describe his descendants? For his life was 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?”
So the eunuch asked Philip, and said, “I beg you, who is the prophet speaking about, himself, or someone else?”
35 Nipele, che Filipo ŵatandilile pelepo pa Malembelo ga Akunnungu ŵansalile Ngani Jambone ji Che Yesu.
Philip began to speak, and beginning with this scripture he proclaimed the good news about Jesus to him.
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 they went on the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, there is water here. What prevents me from being baptized?”
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.
So the Ethiopian commanded the chariot to stop. They went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and Philip 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 they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, but went 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.
But Philip appeared at Azotus and he went through that region, proclaiming the gospel to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.
