Masengo 9
1 Katema ko che Sauli ŵapundile kwajogoya nnope ŵakwakuya Ambuje kuti chiŵaulaje. Ŵajawile kwa Jwambopesi Jwankulu,
But Saul, still breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, having come to the high priest,
2 kukuŵenda ŵaape chikalata chakwamanyisya mmajumba ga kupopelela ga ku Damesiki kula kuti, ŵaasimanaga kweleko ŵandu ŵakulikuya Litala lya Ambuje, achalume atamuno achakongwe ŵakamule ni kwaikanawo ku Yelusalemu.
asked from him letters to Damascus against the synagogues, in order that if he should find any being of the way, both men and women, he might lead them bound to Jerusalem.
3 Nambo che Sauli paŵaliji mwitala pachiŵandi ni kwika ku Damesiki, chisisimuchile lulanga kutyochela kwinani lwalanguchisye mbande syose.
And it came to pass, while prosecuting the journey he drew near to Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven shone around him;
4 Ŵagwile paasi ni kupilikana liloŵe lichasalilaga, “Che Sauli, che Sauli! Ligongo chi nkuunagasya?”
and falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord?
5 Che Sauli nombe ŵausisye, “Ambuje, ana ŵaani alakwe?” Ni liloŵe lyo lyajanjile, “Uneji ndili Che Yesu junkunlagasya.
And He said, I am Jesus whom you are persecuting.
6 Nambo sambano njime, njinjile mmusi ni kweleko chansalile chachikummajila kuchipanganya.”
But stand up, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what it behooves thee to do.
7 Ni ŵandu ŵaŵaliji pamo nawo mu ulendo ŵala, ŵajimi ali jii, ŵapilikanaga liloŵe lyo nambo nganammona mundu.
And the men journeying along with him stood speechless, indeed hearing the voice, but seeing no one.
8 Che Sauli ŵajimi, nambo paŵatatanukwile meeso gakwe nganakombola kuchiwona chachili chose, nipele ŵandu ŵaŵalongene nawo ŵala ŵankamwile nkono ni kunnongosya mpaka ku Damesiki.
And Saul arose from the ground; and his eyes being open, he saw nothing: but leading him by the hand, they led him into Damascus;
9 Che Sauli ŵatemi moŵa gatatu pangalola, ni nganalya natamuno kung'wa chachili chose.
and he was three days not seeing, neither did he eat nor drink.
10 Ku Damesiki ko jwapali jwakulijiganya ju Che Yesu liina lyakwe che Anania. Ambuje ŵammilasile mu yakwiwona, “Che Anania!” Che Anania ŵajitiche, “Une ndili pelepa Ambuje.”
And there was a certain disciple in Damascus, Ananias by name; and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
11 Ambuje ŵansalile, “Njimuche njaule ku litala lyalikuŵilanjikwa Litala Lyagoloka, nkauchilichisye mu nyuumba ji che Yuda mundu liina lyakwe che Sauli jwa ku Taso. Ni sambano ali nkupopela,
And the Lord said to him, Arising, go to the street which is called Straight, and seek a Tarsean, by name Saul, in the house of Judas; for, behold, he is praying,
12 nombewo mu yakwiwona ambweni mundu liina lyakwe che Anania achijinjilaga nkati ni kunsajichila makono gakwe kuti akombole kulola sooni.”
and he saw a man, Ananias by name, coming in, and putting his hands on him, in order that he may look up.
13 Nambo che Anania ŵajanjile, “Ambuje, mbilikene ngani sya mundu ju kutyochela kwa ŵandu ŵajinji, mbilikene yangalumbana iŵaapanganyichisye ŵaswela ŵenu ku Yelusalemu kula.
And Ananias responded, Lord I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to thy saints in Jerusalem:
14 Ni apano aiche ali ni ulamusi kutyochela kwa achakulu ŵambopesi, ŵakamule ŵandu wose ŵakunkulupilila mmwe Che Yesu.”
and he here has authority from the chief priests to bind all those calling on thy name.
15 Nambo Ambuje ŵansalile che Anania, “Njauleje pe, pakuŵa naasagwile kuti andumichile, ajenesye ngani syangu kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ni kwa mamwenye ni kwa Ŵaisilaeli nombe.
And the Lord said to him, Go: because he is a vessel of election to me, to bear my name both before the Gentiles, and kings, and sons of Israel:
16 Uneji nansyene chinaalosye indu yekulungwa ichaŵajilwe kulagaswa nayo kwaligongo lyangu.”
for I will show him how many things it behooves him to suffer for my name's sake.
17 Nipele, che Anania ŵajawile ni kwinjila mu nyuumba jo. Ŵaasajichile makono che Sauli ni kuti, “Nlongo njangu che Sauli, Ambuje Che Yesu juŵakukopochele pamwaliji mwitala kwika apano, andumile kuti nkombole kulola sooni ni kugumbaswa Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.”
And Ananias departed, and came into the house: and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, Jesus, that appeared to you in the way in which thou didst come, hath sent me, that thou mayest look up, and he filled with the Holy Ghost.
18 Papopo yagwile mmeeso mwakwe che Sauli indu mpela ikalaŵesya ni ŵakombwele kulola sooni. Ni ŵajimwiche ni kubatiswa.
And immediately there fell from his eyes as scales: and he looked up; and having stood up, was baptized,
19 Nipele ŵalile chakulya ni kukola machili sooni. Che Sauli ŵatemi pamo ni ŵakulijiganya ŵa Che Yesu kwa moŵa kanandi ku Damesiki kula.
and having received food, he was strengthened. And he was with the disciples who were in Damascus some days;
20 Papopo ŵatandite kulalichila mmajumba ga kupopelela ga Ŵayahudi kuti Che Yesu ali Mwana jwa Akunnungu.
and immediately he was preaching Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
21 Ŵandu wose ŵaŵampilikene ŵasimosile ni kuti, “Ana jweleju ngaŵa julajula jwaŵauleje aŵala ŵaŵankulupililaga Che Yesu ku Yelusalemu kula? Ni sooni ŵaiche akuno kuti ŵakamule ŵanyawo ni kwajausya kwa achakulu ŵambopesi!”
And all those hearing were astonished, and continued to say, Is not this the one laying waste those calling on this name in Jerusalem? and has come hither for this, that he may lead them bound to the chief priests.
22 Che Sauli ŵapundile kukola machili, ni kwasimosya Ŵayahudi ŵakutama ku Damesiki iŵatite pakulosya pangasisa kuti, Che Yesu ali Kilisito.
And Saul continued to be the more filled up with dynamite, and he was confounding the Jews dwelling in Damascus, proving that Jesus is the Christ.
23 Pagapite moŵa gamajinji, Ŵayahudi ŵajilene ni kusosa itajile pakwaulaga che Sauli.
And when many days were being filled up, the Jews issued a verdict to kill him:
24 Nambo che Sauli ŵapilikene ngani jo. Nipele ŵandu ŵaliji nkwajuŵilila mminango ja kwinjilila mmusi wo muusi ni chilo, kuti ŵaulaje.
but their plot was made known to Saul. And they were keeping the gates both day and night in order that they might kill him:
25 Nambo chilo chimo ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe ŵanjigele mu chitundu ni kumpelesya pepowo pa likumba lya musi ni kunselelesya mpaka paasi.
and his disciples taking him, let him down through the wall in the night, lowering him in a basket.
26 Che Sauli paŵaiche ku Yelusalemu ŵasachile kuliwanganya ni ŵakulijiganya ŵane ŵala. Nambo wose ŵanjogwepe, nganakulupilila kuti che Sauli ŵaliji jwakulijiganya njao.
And arriving in Jerusalem, he was endeavoring to join himself to the disciples: and all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
27 Nipele che Banaba ŵanjigele che Sauli ni kunjausya kwa achinduna, ni kwasalila yankati che Sauli iŵatite pakwawona Ambuje Che Yesu mwitala ni kukunguluka nawo, ni iŵatite pakwalalichila ŵandu ngani si Che Yesu pangali lipamba ku Damesiki kula.
But Barnabas taking him, led him to the apostles, and related to them how he saw the Lord on the way, and that He spoke to him, and how he preached boldly in Damascus in the name of Jesus.
28 Nipele che Sauli ŵatemi pamo nawo, ni ŵajesile mu Yelusalemu mose achilalichilaga ŵandu Liloŵe lya Ambuje pangali lipamba.
And he was with them going in and coming out in Jerusalem, preaching boldly in the name of the Lord;
29 Ni sooni ŵakungulwiche ni kukanilana ni Ŵayahudi ŵakuŵecheta Chigiliki, nambo ŵanyawo ŵasachile kummulaga.
and he was speaking and arguing against the Hellenists, and they undertook to kill him.
30 Ŵakukulupilila ŵala paŵaimanyilile yeleyo, ŵanjigele che Sauli ni kunjausya ku Kaisalia, ni ŵannesile kweleko kuti ajaule ku Taso.
And the brethren, taking cognizance, led him to Caesarea, and sent him away to Tarsus.
31 Katema ko mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵala ŵakwete chitendewele ku Yudea kose ni ku Galilaya kose ni ku Samalia kose. Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵapele machili ni ŵajonjesyeche ni ŵatemi kwa kwajogopa Ambuje.
Then indeed the church had peace throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria, being edified and progressing in the fear of the Lord; and was being multiplied by the exhortation of the Holy Ghost.
32 Che Petulo paŵaliji nkwendajenda pali pose, ŵaiche sooni kwa ŵakukulupilila ŵakutama ku Luda.
And it came to pass, that Peter going through all parts, came down also to the saints living at Lydda.
33 Ŵansimene kweleko mundu jwakuŵilanjikwa che Ainea, juŵagonile pa chindanda kwa yaka nsano ni itatu pakuŵa ŵatatele.
And he found there a certain man, by name Eneas, lying on a bed eight years, who was paralyzed.
34 Nipele, che Petulo ŵansalile, “Che Ainea, Che Yesu Kilisito akunnamisya. Njimuche, ntandiche chindanda chenu.” Papopo che Ainea ŵajimwiche.
And Peter said to him, Eneas, Jesus Christ heals thee: arise, and take up thy bed: and immediately he arose.
35 Ŵandu wose ŵaŵatemi ku Luda ni ku Shaloni ŵambweni che Ainea, ni wose ŵankulupilile Ambuje.
And all those dwelling at Lydda and Sharon, whosoever saw him, turned to the Lord.
36 Ku Yopa ko jwapali jwakulijiganya jwankongwe liina lyakwe che Tabisa, mu Chigiliki che Doka, malumbo gakwe, ngolombwe. Jweleju ŵapanganyaga yambone ni kwakamuchisya ŵakulaga moŵa gose.
But there was a certain disciple in Joppa, by name Tabitha, who being interpreted is called Dorcas: and she was full of good works and alms which she was doing.
37 Moŵa gala ŵalwasile ni ŵajasiche. Ŵandu ŵagajojesye malilo gakwe ni ŵagaŵisile mu chuumba cha mwinani.
And it came to pass during those days, she being sick, died: and washing her, they placed her in an upper chamber.
38 Ku Yopa nganikutalikangana ni ku Luda, nipele ŵakulijiganya paŵapilikene kuti che Petulo ali ku Luda, ŵalajisye ŵandu ŵaŵili kukwao ni kwachondelela kuti, “Nnyiche chitema pe kukwetu.”
And Lydda being near to Joppa, the disciples hearing that Peter is in it, sent two men to him, entreating him, Do not delay to come unto us.
39 Nipele, che Petulo ŵalongene nawo. Paŵaiche, ŵanlongwesye ku chuumba cha mwinani. Kweleko ŵaŵililwe ni achiŵankwawo wose ŵansyungwile che Petulo achililaga ni kwalosya minjilo ni yakuwala ine iŵaipanganyisye che Doka akanaŵe kwasika.
And Peter rising up came along with them; whom, on arrival, they led to the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing him the chitoons and himations, so many as Dorcas made, while with them.
40 Che Petulo ŵaakopwesye paasa wose, ŵatindiŵele ni kupopela. Nipele, ŵagagalauchile malilo gala ni kuti, “Che Tabisa njimuche.” Nombejo ŵatatanukwile meeso gao, ni paŵaweni che Petulo ŵajimwiche ni kutama.
And Peter having put them all out, and putting down his knees, prayed; and having turned toward the body, said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and seeing Peter sat up.
41 Che Petulo ŵankamwile nkono ni kunjimika, ni ŵaaŵilasile ŵandu ŵakukulupilila ni ŵaŵililwe ni achiŵankwawo ŵala, ŵapele ali jwanjumi.
And having given her his hand, he raised her up, and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
42 Ngani jo jajenele papali pose ku Yopa ko, ni ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaakulupilile Ambuje.
And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed on the Lord.
43 Che Petulo ŵalonjele ku Yopa kula moŵa gampepe, achitamaga mu nyuumba ja mundu jwakuŵilanjikwa che Simoni jwakukolosya mapende.
And it came to pass, that he remained some days in Joppa, with one Simon a tanner.
