1 Katema ko che Sauli ŵapundile kwajogoya nnope ŵakwakuya Ambuje kuti chiŵaulaje. Ŵajawile kwa Jwambopesi Jwankulu,
But Saul still breathing out threats and murder toward the disciples of the Lord, having gone 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.
requested from him letters in Damascus to the synagogues, so that if any he shall find of the way being men both and women, bound he may bring [them] to Jerusalem.
3 Nambo che Sauli paŵaliji mwitala pachiŵandi ni kwika ku Damesiki, chisisimuchile lulanga kutyochela kwinani lwalanguchisye mbande syose.
In now proceeding it came to pass [as] he [is] drawing near to Damascus, suddenly (also *N(k)O*) him flashed around a light (from *N(k)O*) heaven;
4 Ŵagwile paasi ni kupilikana liloŵe lichasalilaga, “Che Sauli, che Sauli! Ligongo chi nkuunagasya?”
And having fallen on the ground he heard a voice saying to him; Saul Saul, why Me do you persecute?
5 Che Sauli nombe ŵausisye, “Ambuje, ana ŵaani alakwe?” Ni liloŵe lyo lyajanjile, “Uneji ndili Che Yesu junkunlagasya.
He said then; Who are You, Lord? And [He said] (Lord said: *k*) I myself am Jesus whom you yourself are persecuting (hard to you to stingers to kick; *K*)
6 Nambo sambano njime, njinjile mmusi ni kweleko chansalile chachikummajila kuchipanganya.”
(they tremble then and were astonished he said Lord what me you desire to do and the Lord [said] to him *K*) (But *NO*) do rise up and do enter into the city, and it will be told you (that *N(o)*) (what *NK(o)*) you it behooves to do.
7 Ni ŵandu ŵaŵaliji pamo nawo mu ulendo ŵala, ŵajimi ali jii, ŵapilikanaga liloŵe lyo nambo nganammona mundu.
And the men those traveling with him had stood speechless, hearing indeed the voice, no one however seeing.
8 Che Sauli ŵajimi, nambo paŵatatanukwile meeso gakwe nganakombola kuchiwona chachili chose, nipele ŵandu ŵaŵalongene nawo ŵala ŵankamwile nkono ni kunnongosya mpaka ku Damesiki.
Rose up then (*k*) Saul from the ground, opened (however *NK(o)*) the eyes of him (no [thing] *N(k)O*) he was seeing; Leading by the hand then him they brought [him] to Damascus.
9 Che Sauli ŵatemi moŵa gatatu pangalola, ni nganalya natamuno kung'wa chachili chose.
And he was days three without seeing and 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.”
There was now a certain disciple in Damascus named Ananias, And said to him in a vision the Lord; Ananias. And he said; Behold me myself, 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 to him [said]; (Having risen up *NK(o)*) do go into the street which is being called Straight and do seek in [the] house of Judas Saul named of Tarsus; Behold for 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 in a vision Ananias named having come and having put on him (the *no*) (hands, *N(K)O*) so that he may see again.
13 Nambo che Anania ŵajanjile, “Ambuje, mbilikene ngani sya mundu ju kutyochela kwa ŵandu ŵajinji, mbilikene yangalumbana iŵaapanganyichisye ŵaswela ŵenu ku Yelusalemu kula.
Answered but (*k*) Ananias; Lord, (I have heard *N(k)O*) from many concerning man this, how many evils to the saints of You he did in Jerusalem;
14 Ni apano aiche ali ni ulamusi kutyochela kwa achakulu ŵambopesi, ŵakamule ŵandu wose ŵakunkulupilila mmwe Che Yesu.”
and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all those calling on the name of You.
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.
Said however to him the Lord; do go, for a vessel of choice is to Me this [man] to carry the name of Me before (the *o*) Gentiles (and *no*) also kings [the] sons then of Israel.
16 Uneji nansyene chinaalosye indu yekulungwa ichaŵajilwe kulagaswa nayo kwaligongo lyangu.”
I myself for will show to him how much it behooves him for the name of Me to suffer.
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.”
Went away then Ananias and entered into the house, and having laid upon him the hands he said; Saul Brother, the Lord has sent me, Jesus the [One] having appeared to you on the road by which you were coming, that you may see again and you may be filled [of the] Spirit Holy.
18 Papopo yagwile mmeeso mwakwe che Sauli indu mpela ikalaŵesya ni ŵakombwele kulola sooni. Ni ŵajimwiche ni kubatiswa.
And immediately fell of him from the eyes (as *N(k)O*) scales, he regained his sight also (immediately *K*) And having risen up he 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 taken food (he strengthened. *NK(o)*) He was now (Saul *k*) with those in Damascus [the] disciple, s days [for] some;
20 Papopo ŵatandite kulalichila mmajumba ga kupopelela ga Ŵayahudi kuti Che Yesu ali Mwana jwa Akunnungu.
And immediately in the synagogues he was proclaiming (Jesus, *N(K)O*) 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!”
Were amazed then all those hearing and were saying; Surely this is the [one] having caused havoc (in *N(k)O*) Jerusalem those calling on name this? And here for this he had come that bound them he may bring to the chief priests.
22 Che Sauli ŵapundile kukola machili, ni kwasimosya Ŵayahudi ŵakutama ku Damesiki iŵatite pakulosya pangasisa kuti, Che Yesu ali Kilisito.
Saul however all the more was empowered and was confounding the Jews those dwelling in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
23 Pagapite moŵa gamajinji, Ŵayahudi ŵajilene ni kusosa itajile pakwaulaga che Sauli.
When now were passed days many, plotted together the Jews to execute him;
24 Nambo che Sauli ŵapilikene ngani jo. Nipele ŵandu ŵaliji nkwajuŵilila mminango ja kwinjilila mmusi wo muusi ni chilo, kuti ŵaulaje.
became known however to Saul the plot of them. (They were themselves watching now *N(k)O*) (also *no*) the gates by day and also night, so that him they may execute;
25 Nambo chilo chimo ŵakulijiganya ŵakwe ŵanjigele mu chitundu ni kumpelesya pepowo pa likumba lya musi ni kunselelesya mpaka paasi.
having taken however the disciples (of him *NO*) by night through the wall they let down him having lowered [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.
Having arrived then (Saul *k*) (in *NK(o)*) Jerusalem (he was trying *N(k)O*) to join to the disciples; And all were afraid of him not believing that he is 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.
Barnabas however having taken him he brought [him] to the apostles and he related to them how on the road he had seen the Lord and that He had spoken to him and how in Damascus he had spoken boldly 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 coming in and going out (in *N(k)O*) Jerusalem,
29 Ni sooni ŵakungulwiche ni kukanilana ni Ŵayahudi ŵakuŵecheta Chigiliki, nambo ŵanyawo ŵasachile kummulaga.
(and *k*) speaking boldly in the name of the Lord (Jesus, *K*) He was speaking also and he was debating with the Hellenists; but they were seeking to execute him.
30 Ŵakukulupilila ŵala paŵaimanyilile yeleyo, ŵanjigele che Sauli ni kunjausya ku Kaisalia, ni ŵannesile kweleko kuti ajaule ku Taso.
Having known [it] however the brothers brought down him to Caesarea and sent away him 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.
(the *N(k)O*) indeed then (church *N(K)O*) throughout all of Judea and Galilee and Samaria (had *N(k)O*) peace, (being edified *N(k)O*) and (going on *N(k)O*) in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit (it were multiplied. *N(k)O*)
32 Che Petulo paŵaliji nkwendajenda pali pose, ŵaiche sooni kwa ŵakukulupilila ŵakutama ku Luda.
It came to pass that now Peter passing through all [quarters] descending also to the saints those inhabiting Lydda.
33 Ŵansimene kweleko mundu jwakuŵilanjikwa che Ainea, juŵagonile pa chindanda kwa yaka nsano ni itatu pakuŵa ŵatatele.
He found then there a man certain named Aeneas for years eight lying on (a bed *N(k)O*) who was paralyzed.
34 Nipele, che Petulo ŵansalile, “Che Ainea, Che Yesu Kilisito akunnamisya. Njimuche, ntandiche chindanda chenu.” Papopo che Ainea ŵajimwiche.
And said to him Peter; Aeneas, heals you Jesus (*k*) Christ; do rise up and do make the bed for yourself. And immediately he rose up;
35 Ŵandu wose ŵaŵatemi ku Luda ni ku Shaloni ŵambweni che Ainea, ni wose ŵankulupilile Ambuje.
And saw him all those inhabiting Lydda and (Sharon, *NK(o)*) who 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.
In Joppa now certain there was a disciple named Tabitha, which being translated is called Dorcas; She was full of works good and of alms that she was doing;
37 Moŵa gala ŵalwasile ni ŵajasiche. Ŵandu ŵagajojesye malilo gakwe ni ŵagaŵisile mu chuumba cha mwinani.
It came to pass however in the days those [that] having become sick she to die; Having washed [her] then put [her] they in an upper room.
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.”
Near now being Lydda to Joppa the disciples having heard that Peter is in it, sent two men to him imploring; Not (you may delay *N(k)O*) coming to (us. *N(K)O*)
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.
Having risen up then Peter went with them; who having arrived they brought [him] into the upper room, And stood by him all the widows weeping and showing [the] tunics and garments how much was making with them being Dorcas.
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.
Having put then outside all Peter and having bowed the knees he prayed; And having turned to the body he said; Tabitha, do arise. And she opened the eyes of her and having seen Peter she sat up.
41 Che Petulo ŵankamwile nkono ni kunjimika, ni ŵaaŵilasile ŵandu ŵakukulupilila ni ŵaŵililwe ni achiŵankwawo ŵala, ŵapele ali jwanjumi.
Having given then to her [his] hand he raised up her; Having called then the saints and the widows he presented her living.
42 Ngani jo jajenele papali pose ku Yopa ko, ni ŵandu ŵajinji ŵaakulupilile Ambuje.
Known then it became throughout all of Joppa, and believed many on the Lord.
43 Che Petulo ŵalonjele ku Yopa kula moŵa gampepe, achitamaga mu nyuumba ja mundu jwakuŵilanjikwa che Simoni jwakukolosya mapende.
It came to pass then days many staying (he *ko*) in Joppa with a certain Simon a tanner.
