Acts 16
1 Paul came to Derbe and then to Lystra, where he found a disciple named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewish woman and a Greek father.
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 in Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him.
Timoti alumbiwi bwina na vamsadika va ku Lusitila na ku Ikonio.
3 Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, so he took him and circumcised him on account of the Jews in that area, 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 from town to town, they delivered the decisions handed down by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the people to obey.
Pavavi mulugendu lwa mumiji vavajovela vandu malagizu ga vamitumi vala na vagogo vala va ku Yelusalemu, vakavajovela vagalanda.
5 So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily in numbers.
Hinu msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika kilisitu vakangamala muusadika, ndi vakayonjokeseka kila ligono.
6 After the Holy Spirit had prevented them from speaking the word in the province of Asia, they traveled through the region of Phrygia and Galatia.
Vakapitila mumiji ya Flugia na Galatia muni Mpungu Msopi nakuvayidakila kukokosa ujumbi wula ku Asia.
7 And when they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not permit them.
Pavahikili mumibaka ya Musia, valingili kuyingila mulima wa Bisunia. Nambu Mpungu wa Yesu nakuvayidakila.
8 So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas.
Hinu vapitili ku Musia na kuhamba lumonga ku Tloa.
9 During the night, Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and pleading with him, “Come over to 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 As soon as Paul had seen the vision, we got ready to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
Pauli peagawene maono gala, bahapo tajitendelekili kukupuka kuhamba Makedonia muni tamanyili chakaka Chapanga atikemili tihamba kuvakokosela Lilovi la Bwina kwenuko.
11 We sailed from Troas straight to Samothrace, and the following day on to Neapolis.
Tagendili muwatu kuhuma ku Tloa mbaka Samotilake, na chilau yaki tahikili Neapoli.
12 From there we went to the Roman colony of Philippi, the leading city of that district of Macedonia. And we stayed there several days.
Kuhuma kwenuko tikahamba ku Filipi muji mmonga pamulima wa Makedonia, Likoloni la Valumi. Ndi tatamili muji wenuwo mulukumbi lwa magono.
13 On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate along the river, where it was customary to find a place of prayer. After sitting down, we spoke to the women who had gathered there.
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 Among those listening was a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message.
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 And when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, “If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house.” And 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 One day as we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl with a spirit of divination, who earned a large income for her masters 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 This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the 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 continued this for many days. Eventually Paul grew so aggravated that he turned and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” And the spirit left her at that very moment.
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 When the girl’s owners saw that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them before the authorities in the marketplace.
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 They brought them to the magistrates and said, “These men are Jews and are throwing our city into turmoil
Vakavatakila kwa vahamula mihalu va Loma na kujova, “Vandu ava vileta chitututu pamuji witu navene ndi Vayawudi.
21 by promoting customs that are unlawful for us Romans to adopt or practice.”
Viwula mivelu yeyibesiwi kwa tete vandu va ku Loma kuyidakila na kuyilanda.”
22 The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered that they be stripped and 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 And after striking them with many blows, they threw them into prison and ordered the jailer to guard them securely.
Pevamali kuvatova neju, vakavasopa muchifungu na linjolinjoli wa jela alagaziwi kuvya mihu muulonda.
24 On receiving this order, he placed them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.
Ndava ya malagizu genago, linjolinjoli wa jela akavasopa muchumba cha mugati neju na kuvakunga magendelu gavi muhibiki.
25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other 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 a strong earthquake shook the foundations of the prison. At once all the doors flew open and everyone’s chains came loose.
Chigafula mndendemo mvaha wa ndima ukahumila, wewanyugwisi mikingisa ya jela. Bahapo milyangu hikadinduka na minyololo yevakungiwi vafungwa yikawopoka.
27 When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, presuming 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 called out in a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself! We are all here!”
Nambu Pauli akakemela kwa lwami luvaha, “Ukoto kujikoma wamwene, muni tee tavoha takona tivii!”
29 Calling for lights, the jailer rushed in and fell 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 Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
Kangi akavalongosa mbaka kuvala, akavakota, “Mwavakulu vangu, nikita kyani nihotola kusanguka?”
31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus 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 Then Paul and Silas spoke the word of the Lord to him and to everyone in his house.
Hinu vakamkokosela Lilovi la Bambu mwene pamonga na vandu va munyumba yaki.
33 At that hour of the night, the jailer took them and washed their wounds. And without delay, he and all his household were baptized.
Lukumbi lulolo lwa kilu, linjolinjoli wa jela yula akavatola na kuvasambisa mavamba gavi, kangi mwene na vandu va munyumba yaki vabatiziwi bahapo.
34 Then he brought them into his home and set a meal before them. So he and all his household rejoiced that they had come to believe 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 When daylight came, the magistrates sent their officers with the order: “Release those men.”
Chilau yaki lukela, vahamula mihalu va Chiloma vavatumili vakulu va manjolinjoli na malagizu aga, “Muvadindulila vandu vala.”
36 The jailer informed Paul: “The magistrates have sent orders to release you. Now you may go on your way 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 the officers, “They beat us publicly without a trial and threw us into prison, even though we are Roman citizens. And now do they want to send us away secretly? Absolutely not! Let them come themselves and escort 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 So the officers relayed this message to the magistrates, who were alarmed to hear that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens.
Vakulu va manjolinjoli vakavadandaulila lijambu lila vahamula mihalu, hinu vene pevayuwini kuvya Pauli na Sila vavi vakolonjinji va mulima wa ku Loma vayogwipi.
39 They came to appease them and led them out, requesting that they leave the city.
Ndi vakahamba na kujova, “Chondi mpepayi,” Na pavavahumisi mugati, vakavayupa vawuka pamuji wula.
40 After Paul and Silas came out of the prison, they went to Lydia’s house to see the brothers and encourage them. Then they left the city.
Pauli na Sila pavahumili muchifungu vakahamba kunyumba ya Lidia, kwenuko vakakonganeka na vamsadika. Pevamali kuvakangamalisa mitima vakawuka.
