< 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.
U Paulo pahinzile hu Derbe na hu Lystra; epo ahali ukijana umo yalyeteshe izu itawa yu Timotheo, ni Kijana aliyezaliwa na unyina ali Yahudi uise ali Giriki.
2 The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.
Abhantu bha Lystra nahu Ikonia bhahayanjile shinza.
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.
U Paulo wanza asogole nawo, wamwega watahiili maana Ayahudi bhaaminyu huje uise wa Timotheo huje Giriki.
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.
Wabhasogolaga bhishiliye humiji bhabhalajizya huja bhazikhataje zyazisimbilwa natume hula hu Yerusalemu.
5 So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Amakanisa gakhala shinza wa bhantu bhahinji bhonjelela apendushe hwa Yesu.
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.
U Paulo nu wamwao bhabhala hu Filigia na hu Galatia, Umpepo wa Ngulubhi abhakhanile alumbilile izu hwijimbo lya hu Asia.
7 When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not allow them.
Nabhapalamila hu Misia, bhahalinga abhale hu Bithinia, lelo Umpepo wa Yesu wabhakhana.
8 Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
Shashila hu Misia bhabha hu Troa.
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.”
Nusiku uPaulo walola embonesyo umuntu wa hu Makedonia abhakwizya aiga mwenzemutavwe ohu.”
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.
U Paulo nawalola embonesyo ezyo bhamanya huju Ungulubhi abhakwizizye huje bhabhale hu Makedonia, alumbilile izu lya Ngulubhi.
11 Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
Tasogola afume hu Troa, tabhala hu Samothrake, shandao lwakwe tafiha hu 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.
Afume uhwo tafiha hu Filipi eya hu Makedonia, gwali muji gosi hu wilaya yabhatawalile Arumi uhwo takhiye hashe.
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.
Isiku elyelutuyo tahabhalile hwonze ye ndyango gwe muji tajendile idala elyahwisoho tagaga kabhanga tigapaga apapuutilw, tahakha pansi tayanga na bhashi bhamo bhabhahinzile uhwo.
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.
Ushi umo itawa yu Lidia, yakazyaga amasukwa(usukwa), afumile hu Tiatira, atitejelezizye, Ungulubhi amwiguye umwoyo nahuzibhishe humwoyo zyaziyangwilwe nu Paulo.
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.
Nawoziwa uumwene na bha munyumba yakwe watilabha aje tikhale pakhaya yakwe atilambile tee.
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.
Natabhalaga apuute, ulinouumo yali ne Mpepo embibhi ezyelaguzi takhomine nhwo, ulinduuyo apelaga efaida Ugosi, wakwe hulaguzi wakwe.
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!”
Ushi unu alondozizye u Paulo naje ebha bhantu bha Ngulubhi ula ugosi yabhabhalumbilila amawe idala elye wokovu”.
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.
Abhombile isho ensiku zyenyinji, lelo u Paulo avitilwe tee u Paulo pawagaluha hwisalo walidimila lila ipepo, “Waga awe wu mpepo embibhi epa mwunu usogole hwi tawa lya Yesu empepo embibhi yafuma.
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.
Agosi bhakwe ulenduula bhabhakhata aPaulo nu Sila bhabhadenemula musokoni na aviongozi bhahenyaga.
20 When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men, being Jews, are agitating our city
Na bhafisya hwalonzi bhaga abhantu ebha Bhayahudi bhaleta ibwango munsi yetu.
21 and advocate customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.”
Bhamanyizya enongwa zyasentihwanziwa akhate nazifute neshi Arumi.”
22 The multitude rose up together against them and the magistrates tore their clothes from them, then commanded them to be beaten with rods.
Ipuga lya bhantu bhabhakhata aPaulo nu Sila, alonzi bhabhasatula amenda gabho naje bhakhomwe ne nsanzo(bhashetwe)
23 When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.
Nabhashetwa nensanzo zye nyinji bhabhaponya mwijela na bhabhuule alinzi aje bhabhalinde shinza.
24 Having received such a command, he threw them into the inner prison and secured their feet in the stocks.
Bhaala alinzi nabhaposhela eamri, bhabhafunga aPaulo wusila ahati nyene bhabhapinya namanyoro mumanama.
25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
Nu siku nyene aPaulo nu Sila bhapuuta natele eng'oma ezya hulumbe Ungulubhi ohu afungwe abhanje bhatejelezya,
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.
Lyahafumila itensia lyayinzya ensi amandyango gigereza giguha na manyoro gafungwe gayembela.
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.
Olinzi wi Gereza wabhuha ahwenya eshi amandyango gu gereza gigushe wayeta wega ipanga wanzaje ahwibhole agagajibha afungwe bhonti bhaselenjile,
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here!”
U Paulo wakhoola hwizu igosi waga usahwibude ate tenti tihweli epa”.
29 He called for lights, sprang in, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,
Walabha amakhozyo walavya uhu ayetile wa yinje, wabhagwila aPaulo nu Sila,
30 brought them out, and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
wabhafumya hwunzi yi gereza waga mwebha gosi embombe wili nanii enokoshe?”
31 They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
Bhabhuula bhaga mwitishe uYesu nawee ubhahwokoshe na bhantu bhonti bhabhali munyumba yaho.”
32 They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.
Bhayanga izu lya Ngulubhi na bhantu bhakwe bhabhali munyumba yakwe,
33 He took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.
Ulinzi wi gereza wabhega nu siku lwulwo(wuwo), wabhozya mwabhavwaliye umwene na bhantu bhonti abha munyumba yakwe bhoziwa.
34 He brought them up into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly with all his household, having believed in God.
Wabhaleta akhaya yakwe wabhapeela ishalye. Wabhanoluseshelo na bhantu bhonti abha munyumba.
35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, “Let those men go.”
Pasanya alonzi, bhatuma umuntu huje bhabhuule, ulinzi wi gereza abhefwe abhantu bhaala bhasogolaje”,
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.”
Ulinzi wi gereza wabhuula uPaulo huje alonzi bhajile embefwe musogolaje mubhalaje amwenyu.”
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!”
U Paulo wabhabhuula huje batikhomile nativwalazye pabhantu tatili Bharumi nkatilonje eshi bhalwatefwe shisili ate seetifuma bhenze bhatifumye bhibho”.
38 The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,
Ulinzi wabhabhuula alonzi enongwa zya Paulo nu Sila alonzi bhayeta ahwumvwe huje aPaulo nu Sila Bharumi.
39 and they came and begged them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.
Alonzi bhenza abhefwe na bhabhafumya bhabhalaabha huje bhepe munsi yabho.
40 They went out of the prison and entered into Lydia’s house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, then departed.
A Paulo nu Sila bhafuma mwigereza bhabhala hu khaya ya Lidia. U Paulo nabhabhalola abhamwabho bhabhagwizya umwoyo, pamade bhasogola bhepa munsi iyo.
