Acts 16
1 He came to Derbe and Lystra; and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess who believed, but his father was a Greek.
Hinu akahika ku Delibe na ku Lusitila, kweatamayi muwuliwa mmonga liina laki Timoti. Nyina waki mewawa avi msadika Myawudi, nambu dadi waki avi Mgiliki.
2 The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.
Timoti alumbiwi bwina na vamsadika va ku Lusitila na ku Ikonio.
3 Paul wanted to have him go out with him, and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
Pauli aganili kulongosana na Timoti mulugendu, hinu akamdumula jandu. Akitili chenicho ndava Vayawudi voha vevatamayi pandi zila, vamanyili kuvya dadi wa Timoti avi Mgiliki.
4 As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
Pavavi mulugendu lwa mumiji vavajovela vandu malagizu ga vamitumi vala na vagogo vala va ku Yelusalemu, vakavajovela vagalanda.
5 So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Hinu msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika kilisitu vakangamala muusadika, ndi vakayonjokeseka kila ligono.
6 When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
Vakapitila mumiji ya Flugia na Galatia muni Mpungu Msopi nakuvayidakila kukokosa ujumbi wula ku Asia.
7 When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not allow them.
Pavahikili mumibaka ya Musia, valingili kuyingila mulima wa Bisunia. Nambu Mpungu wa Yesu nakuvayidakila.
8 Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
Hinu vapitili ku Musia na kuhamba lumonga ku Tloa.
9 A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him and saying, “Come over into Macedonia and help us.”
Lukumbi lwa kilu, Pauli akalota maono amuwene mundu mmonga wa ku Makedonia ayimili balapala na kumuyupa, “Kupuka ubwela ku Makedonia utitangatila.”
10 When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the Good News to them.
Pauli peagawene maono gala, bahapo tajitendelekili kukupuka kuhamba Makedonia muni tamanyili chakaka Chapanga atikemili tihamba kuvakokosela Lilovi la Bwina kwenuko.
11 Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
Tagendili muwatu kuhuma ku Tloa mbaka Samotilake, na chilau yaki tahikili Neapoli.
12 and from there to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the foremost of the district, a Roman colony. We were staying some days in this city.
Kuhuma kwenuko tikahamba ku Filipi muji mmonga pamulima wa Makedonia, Likoloni la Valumi. Ndi tatamili muji wenuwo mulukumbi lwa magono.
13 On the Sabbath day we went outside of the city by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.
Ligono la Kupumulila tahumuli kuvala ya muji, na kuhamba pamuhana ya mfuleni pandu petahololela pakuyupila Chapanga. Ndi tikatama na kulongela na vadala vevakonganiki penapo.
14 A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us. The Lord opened her heart to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.
Mmonga wa vadala vevatiyuwanila vala, avi mdala mmonga msadika liina laki Lidia, mkolonjinji wa Tuatila, mweigula na kugulisa nyula za mashonga gamahele. Bambu amdindwili mtima waki hati akagalanda malovi gala geajova Pauli.
15 When she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.” So she persuaded us.
Mdala yula pamonga na vandu va munyumba yaki pevamali kubatiziwa, akatigongolela, “Ngati chakaka myidakili kuvya nene namsadika wa Bambu, mbwela kutama kunyumba yangu.” Akakangamala kutijovela tihamba.
16 As we were going to prayer, a certain girl having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune telling.
Ligono limonga patakavi mukuhamba pandu pa kumuyupa Chapanga, takonganiki na msikana mmonga mvanda mweavi na mzuka wa kulondola. Mdala mwenuyo avapela mashonga gamahele vandu vana vindu vyamahele ndava ulondola waki.
17 Following Paul and us, she cried out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us a way of salvation!”
Msikana yula akatilanda Pauli na tete, ijova kwa lwami luvaha, “Vandu ava ndi vatumisi va Chapanga Mkulu! Vakuvadandaulila njila ya kusanguka!”
18 She was doing this for many days. But Paul, becoming greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” It came out that very hour.
Akitili chenicho kwa magono gamahele mbaka ligono limonga Pauli akayoma, akamng'anamukila na kuujovela mzuka wula, “Muuhotola wa Yesu Kilisitu nikulagiza muwuka mundu uyu!” Bahapo mzuka wula ukamuwuka.
19 But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.
Vakulu va mvanda yula pavawene mpangu wavi wa kupata mashonga kuhuma kwa mvanda wavi umaliki, vakavakamula Pauli na Sila na kuvakwekesa pandu pakugulisila vindu, palongolo ya vakulu va muji.
20 When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men, being Jews, are agitating our city
Vakavatakila kwa vahamula mihalu va Loma na kujova, “Vandu ava vileta chitututu pamuji witu navene ndi Vayawudi.
21 and advocate customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.”
Viwula mivelu yeyibesiwi kwa tete vandu va ku Loma kuyidakila na kuyilanda.”
22 The multitude rose up together against them and the magistrates tore their clothes from them, then commanded them to be beaten with rods.
Na msambi wa vandu wewavi penapo ukavatova Pauli na Sila. Kangi vahamula mihalu vala vakavapapula nyula za Pauli na Sila, vakahamula vatovewayi ndonga.
23 When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.
Pevamali kuvatova neju, vakavasopa muchifungu na linjolinjoli wa jela alagaziwi kuvya mihu muulonda.
24 Having received such a command, he threw them into the inner prison and secured their feet in the stocks.
Ndava ya malagizu genago, linjolinjoli wa jela akavasopa muchumba cha mugati neju na kuvakunga magendelu gavi muhibiki.
25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
Peyahikili pagati ya kilu Pauli na Sila vamuyupayi na kumuyimbila nyimbu za kumulumbalila Chapanga, kuni vafungwa vayavi vakuvayuwanila.
26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were loosened.
Chigafula mndendemo mvaha wa ndima ukahumila, wewanyugwisi mikingisa ya jela. Bahapo milyangu hikadinduka na minyololo yevakungiwi vafungwa yikawopoka.
27 The jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
Linjolinjoli wa jela peayumwiki na kulola milyangu ya jela gavi mbee, akatola upanga na kugana kujikoma, ndava aholalili kuvya vafungwa voha vatilili.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here!”
Nambu Pauli akakemela kwa lwami luvaha, “Ukoto kujikoma wamwene, muni tee tavoha takona tivii!”
29 He called for lights, sprang in, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,
Linjolinjoli yula peamali kuyupa hahi, akajumbalila mugati akajigwisa pahi pa magendelu ga Pauli na Sila kuni ivagaya kwa wogohi.
30 brought them out, and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
Kangi akavalongosa mbaka kuvala, akavakota, “Mwavakulu vangu, nikita kyani nihotola kusanguka?”
31 They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
Vene vakamyangula, “Umsadika Bambu Yesu ndi veve pamonga na vandu va munyumba yaku yati mwisanguliwa.”
32 They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.
Hinu vakamkokosela Lilovi la Bambu mwene pamonga na vandu va munyumba yaki.
33 He took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.
Lukumbi lulolo lwa kilu, linjolinjoli wa jela yula akavatola na kuvasambisa mavamba gavi, kangi mwene na vandu va munyumba yaki vabatiziwi bahapo.
34 He brought them up into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly with all his household, having believed in God.
Kangi akavagongolela Pauli na Sila kunyumba yaki, kuvapela chakulya. Mwene pamonga na vandu va munyumba yaki vakavya na luheku neju ndava hinu vakumsadika Chapanga.
35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, “Let those men go.”
Chilau yaki lukela, vahamula mihalu va Chiloma vavatumili vakulu va manjolinjoli na malagizu aga, “Muvadindulila vandu vala.”
36 The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out and go in peace.”
Linjolinjoli wa jela akamjovela Pauli, “Vahamula mihalu va Loma vatumili na ujumbi uwu kwa veve na Sila mudinduliwayi. Hinu mwihotola kuhuma na muhamba na uteke.”
37 But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly without a trial, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison! Do they now release us secretly? No, most certainly, but let them come themselves and bring us out!”
Nambu Pauli akamyangula, “Gavi wuli? Tahokili lepi vatitovili ndonga pavandu kuni tavete tavakolonjinji wa ku Loma. Kangi vatisopili muchifungu na hinu vigana kutidindulila cha mfiyu! Hati padebe! Yikuvagana vene vahamula mihalu ndi vabwela kutidindulila.”
38 The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,
Vakulu va manjolinjoli vakavadandaulila lijambu lila vahamula mihalu, hinu vene pevayuwini kuvya Pauli na Sila vavi vakolonjinji va mulima wa ku Loma vayogwipi.
39 and they came and begged them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.
Ndi vakahamba na kujova, “Chondi mpepayi,” Na pavavahumisi mugati, vakavayupa vawuka pamuji wula.
40 They went out of the prison and entered into Lydia’s house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, then departed.
Pauli na Sila pavahumili muchifungu vakahamba kunyumba ya Lidia, kwenuko vakakonganeka na vamsadika. Pevamali kuvakangamalisa mitima vakawuka.
