Acts 8
1 And at that time there was a great persecution against the church that was in Jerusalem; and they were all dispersed throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.
Sauli ajhele makubaliano gha kifo kya muene. Legono elu ndo ajhandili kubhatesya kinyume kya kanisa lya lyejhele Yerusalemu; na bhoha jha bhiamini bhabhatawanyiki mu majimbo gha Yudea ni Samaria, isipokujha mitume.
2 But devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
Bhanu bhacha mungu bhan'syelili Stefano ni kubhomba maombolez mabhaha juu jha muene.
3 But Saul attempted to destroy the church; entering every house, and dragging men and women, he delivered them up to prison.
Lakini Sauli alilizuru likanisa. Alotili nyumba kwa nyumba nikubhabuniza kwibhala bhadala ni bhagosi, ni kubhasopa mu ligereza.
4 Then they that were dispersed went everywhere preaching the word.
Bhabhikeera ambabho bhatawanyiki bado bhalihubiri lilobhi.
5 And Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached the Christ to them.
Filipo asalili katika mji bhwa Samaria ni kun'tangasya Kristu okhu.
6 And the multitudes with one mind gave heed to the things which were spoken by Philip, when they heard, and saw the signs which he did.
Baada jha makutano kup'eleka ni ishara syaabhombi Filipo; bhakabheka umakini juu jha khela kyaajobhili.
7 For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them, and many paralytics and lame persons were cured.
Kuhomela apu bhanu bhingi bhabhap'eliki pepo bhachafu bhakabhabhoka bhanu khoni bhilela kwa sauti mbaha, ni bhingi bhabhapoozili ni fiwete bhaponyisibhu.
8 And there was great joy in that city.
Na kwajhele ni furaha mbaha mu mji.
9 But there was a certain man, named Simon, who had, before this time, been practicing magic in the city, and astonishing the people of Samaria, saying that he was some great one;
Lakini pajhele ni munu mmonga mu mji bhola lihina lya muene Simoni ambajhe abhombeghe uhabhi; ambabho abhutimili kubhashangasya bhanu bha taifa la Samaria, wakati ijobha kujha muene ndo munu muhimu.
10 to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying: This man is the great power of God.
Bhasamaria bhoha kuhomela bhana hata bhabhaha, bhakamp'elekesya, bhakajobha, “Munu ojho ndo jhela nghofu jha K'yara ambajho ndo mbaha.”
11 And they gave heed to him because he had, for a long time, astonished them with his magic arts.
Bhakamp'elekesya, kwa ndabha abhesyangese mda mrefu kwa uhabhi bhwa muene.
12 But when they believed Philip, who preached the good news concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were immersed, both men and women.
Lakini wakati bhakyeriri kujha Filipo ahubiriri juu jha ufalme bhwa K'yara ni juu jhalihina lya Yesu Kristu, bhabatisibhu bhagosi kwa bhadala.
13 And Simon himself also believed; and after he was immersed, he continued with Philip; and, seeing the mighty deeds and the signs which were done, he was astonished.
Ni Simoni muene akyeriri; baada jha kubatisibhwa ajhendelili kujha ni Filipo; bho abhuene ishara ni miujiza jhaijhele jhibhombekeghe, ashangele.
14 Now when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John;
Wakati mitume bha Yerusalemu bho bhap'eliki kujha samaria ipokili lilobhi lya K'yara bhakabhautma Petro ni Yohana.
15 who, when they had gone down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit.
Wakati bhiselela bhakabhaombela; kujha bhampokelayi Roho mtakatifu.
16 For he had not yet fallen on any of them; only they had been immersed into the name of the Lord Jesus.
Mpaka mda obhu, Roho mtakatifu ajhele akona kubhaselelela hata mmonga ghwa bhene; bhabatisibhu lu kwa lihina lya Bwana Yesu.
17 Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Ndipo Petro ni Yohana bhakabhabhekela mabhoko ni bhene bhakampokela Roho mtakatifu.
18 And when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the hands of the apostles, he offered them money,
Wakati Simoni abhwena Roho mtakatifu abhosibhu kupetelakubhekibhwa mabhoko ni mitume; alondeghe kubhapela hela,
19 saying: Give me, also, this authority, that whoever I shall lay my hands on, may receive the Holy Spirit.
Akajobha, “Nipelayi nghofu ejhe, ili kila jha nibetakumbeka mabhoko paokelayi Roho mtakatifu.”
20 But Peter said to him: Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God might be purchased with money.
Lakini Petro akan'jobhela; hela jha jhobhi pamonga ni bhebhe ijhaghanikilayi patali, kwa ndabha udhanili kujha karama jha K'yara jhipalikana kwa hela.
21 You have neither part nor share in this matter; for your heart is not right in the sight of God.
Ujhelepi ni sehemu kulijambo e'le, n'nofu lepi mbele sya K'yara.
22 Repent, therefore, of this your wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the purpose of your heart may be forgiven you.
Hivyo basi, tubuayi maovu gha jhobhi ni kun'soka K'yara labda wibeta kusamehebhwa fikra sya muoyo ghwa jhobhi.
23 For I perceive that you are in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
Kwa maana nibhona ujhele mu sumu jha bhuchungu ni kifungu kya dhambi.”
24 But Simon answered and said: Pray you both to the Lord for me, that none of the things which you have spoken come upon me.
Simoni akajibu ni kujobha, “Mun'sokayi Bwana kwa ndabha jha nene kwa kujha mambo ghoha ghamulongelili ghibhwesya kunitokela.
25 Then, when they had given their testimony, and preached the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
Wakati Petro ni Yohana bho bhashuhudili ni kuhubiri lilobhi lya Bwana, bhakakerebhuka Yerusalemu kwa njela ejhu; bhahubiri injili mu fijiji fingi fya bhasamaria.
26 And an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying: Arise, and go toward the south, to the road that leads from Jerusalem to Gaza; this is desert.
Basi malaika bha Bwana anenili ni Filipo ni kujobha, “Jhangasiajhi na ulotayi kusini kwa njela jhajhilota kusika jha Yerusalemu kulotela Gaza.” (Njela ejhe jhijhe mujangwa).
27 And he arose and went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem to worship,
Akajhangasya ni kulota. Langayi, kwajhele ni munu ghwa Ethiopia, towashi mwenye mamlaka mbaha pasi pa kandese; Malkia ghwa Ethiopia. Jhaabhekibhu panani pa hazina jha muene jhioha; nu muene akalota Yerusalemu kuabudu.
28 was returning, and, sitting in his chariot, read the prophet Isaiah.
Wakati ikerebhuka atamili mu ligari lyamuene isoma chuo kya nabii Isaya.
29 And the Spirit said to Philip: Go forward and join yourself to this chariot.
Roho akajobha ni Filipo, “Hegelelayi karibu ni ligari e'le ukakamulana nalu.
30 And Philip ran forward, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah; and he said: Do you understand what you are reading?
“Efyo Filipo akalota mbio, akampeleka isoma mu chuo kya nabii Isaya; akajobha, umanyili kya wisoma?”
31 He answered: How can I, unless some one instruct me? And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
Muethiopia akajobha, “nibebhwesya bhuli munu kama andongwisi lepi?” Akan'sihi Filipo akwela mu ligari ni kutama pamonga ni muene.
32 The passage of the scripture which he was reading, was this: As a sheep for the slaughter was he led; and as a lamb before his shearer is dumb, so opened he not his mouth
Henu lifungu lya maandiku lya asomeghe Muethiopia ndo e'le, Alongosibhu kama likondoo kulota kuchinjibhwa ku machinjioni; ni kama likondoo agudeme kinunu, afunguililepi kinywa kya muene.
33 in his humiliation. The sentence against him was taken away; but who shall describe the men of his generation? For his life was taken from the earth.
Kwa huzunishibhwa kwa muene hukumu jha muene jhabhosibhu, niani jha ibetakujhelesya kizazi kya muene? maisha muene ghabhosibhu munchi.”
34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said: I pray you, of whom speaks the prophet this? Of himself, or of some other man?
Hivyo towashi akan'kota Filipo, ni kujobha, “nikus'oka, nabii jholeku ilongelibhwa habari sya muene, ni kuhusu muene au sya munu jhongi”?
35 And Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached to him Jesus.
Filipo ajhandikulongela, abhwanji kwa andiko e'le lya Isaya kun'hubirira habari sya Yesu.
36 And as they went along the road, they came to some water; and the eunuch said: See, here is water; what hinders me from being immersed?
Bhobhajhe munjela, bhakafika pa masi,' towashi akajobha, “Langayi, pajheni masi apa kheleku kizuila nisibatisibhu?”
Malobhi agha, “Hivyo Muethiopia akajibu “Nikiera kujha Yesu Kristu ndo mwana ghwa K'yara,” ghajhelepi mu maandiku gha muandi). Ndipo Muethiopia akaamuru ligari lijhemayi.
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still; and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he immersed him.
Bhakalota mugati mu masi, pamonga ni Filipo ni towashi, Filipoakambatisya.
39 And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
Wakati bhofobhwiki mu masi, Roho ghwa Bwana jhampeliki Filipo patali; tawashi ambwene lepi, akalota njela jha muene khoni ishangilila.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus, and, passing through, he preached the gospel in all the cities, till he came to Cæsarea
Lakini Filipo akahomela Azoto. Apetili mu mkoa bhola ni kuhubiri injili mu miji ghioha mpaka bho afikili Kaisaria.
