Acts 9
1 Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the disciples of the Lord. He approached the high priest
Mbe nawe saul, nagendelela- la okwaika no kubhakanga na jinfu ja bheigisibhwa bha Latabugenyi, agendele ku mugabhisi mukulu.
2 and requested letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any men or women belonging to the Way, he could bring them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
no ku musabhwa Inyalubha yo kugenda ku mekofyanyisho eyo Damesiki, koleleki ati akamubhona omunu unu kabha ali ku njila ilya, abhe mulume amwi mugasi, abhabhoye no kubhaleta Yerusalemu.
3 As Saul drew near to Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.
Anu aliga achalibhata, nijibhonekana ati ejile elila ayei na Damesiki, nechula bhwangu obhwelu nibhumusekanila one one obhwelu okusoka mulwile,'
4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?”
omwene nagwa ansi nogwa obhulaka nibhumubhwila,”Sauli, Sauli, kulwaki ounyasha anye?”
5 “Who are You, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” He replied.
Sauli nasubhya, ka awe nawega Latabhugenyi? Latabhugenyi naika ati,”anye nanye Yesu unu ounyasha;
6 “Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
mbe nawe imuka, wingile mu musi, oujokubhwilwa ganu geile okukola
7 The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless. They heard the voice but did not see anyone.
Abhanu bhalya bhanu bhalibhataga amwi na sauli nibhajibhila jibhi, nibhogwa obhulaka, bhatalolele munu.
8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could not see a thing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus.
Mbe Sauli nemuka ansi ejile abhandula ameso gae, atabhwene chinu, nibhamugwata okubhoko nibhamuleta okukinga Damesiki.
9 For three days he was without sight, and he did not eat or drink anything.
ku nsiku esatu atakulola, nolwo kulya, amwi kunywa.
10 In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord spoke to him in a vision, “Ananias!” “Here I am, Lord,” he answered.
Mbe aliga alio mwiigisibhwa Damesiki lisina lyae Anania, Latabugenyi aikile nage mu bhilolo, “Anania.” Naika ati, “lola, nilio anu Latabugenyi.
11 “Get up!” the Lord told him. “Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying.
“Latabugenyi namubhwila, “Imuka ugende mu luguyo lunu olutogwa olugololoke, mu nyumbha ya Yuda mbe ubhusilishe alimo omunu asokele Tarso kabhilikilwa Sauli; kulwo kubha na oli kasabhwa;
12 In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight.”
Aliga amulolele mu bhilolo omunu unu lisina lyae Anania nengila no kumutelako amabhoko ingulu yae koleleki alole.
13 But Ananias answered, “Lord, many people have told me about this man and all the harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem.
Mbe nawe Anania nasubhya ati, “Latabugenyi, nonguywe misango jo munu unu mu bhanu bhafu, jinu jitakutula kumenyekana ati ni kutiki lwa kutyo abhakoleye amabhibhi abhelu bhanu bhali eyo Yerusalemu;
14 And now he is here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on Your name.”
Anu aliga ali na malagililo okusoka ku mugabhisi mukulu okumugwata bhuli umwi unu kalibhilikila lisina lyao.
15 “Go!” said the Lord. “This man is My chosen instrument to carry My name before the Gentiles and their kings, and before the people of Israel.
Mbe nawe Latabugenyi namubhwila ati, “Genda kulwo kubha mwenene ni chimogwa chisolwa kwanye, koleleki aligege lisina lyani ku maanga na mu
16 I will show him how much he must suffer for My name.”
bhakama na mu bhana bha Israel. Kulwo kubha enija okubhelesha mafu ganu gamwiile okunyasibhwa kulwa lisina lyani”.
17 So Ananias went to the house, and when he arrived, he placed his hands on Saul. “Brother Saul,” he said, “the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
Anania nagenda, nengila mu nyumbha ilya; namutelako amabhoko naika, wasu Sauli, Latabugenyi Yesu, oyo akubhonekee ku njila anu waliga nu uja, antumile koleleki ulole lindi na wijusibhwe na Mwoyo mwelu.
18 At that instant, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and his sight was restored. He got up and was baptized,
Ao nao nibhilagala ebhinu nibhisoka mu meso gae kuti bhikambha, nalola, nemelegulu, nabhatijibhwa, nalya ebhilyo no kubhona amanaga.
19 and after taking some food, he regained his strength. And he spent several days with the disciples in Damascus.
Nenyanja amwi na beigisibwa eyo Damesiki nsiku nyafu.
20 Saul promptly began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, declaring, “He is the Son of God.”
Mu mwanya ogwo ogwo namukumusha Yesu mu mekofyanyisho, naika ati mwenene ni mwana wa Nyamuanga.
21 All who heard him were astounded and asked, “Isn’t this the man who wreaked havoc in Jerusalem on those who call on this name? And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?”
Bhona bhanu bhonguywe bhatang'ang'ae no kwaika,”atali omunu unu aliga nanyasha bhone bhanu bhabhilikie lisina linu eyo Yerusalemu? Anu one ejile kwa insonga yo kubhabhoya no kubhasila kubhagabhisi.”
22 But Saul was empowered all the more, and he confounded the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ.
Mbe nawe Sauli asakiywe mu kusimula no kubhakola Abhayaudi bhanu bhaliga bhekae Damesiki na nibhagandasibhwa no kubhakomelesha ati unu niwe masiya (kristo).
23 After many days had passed, the Jews conspired to kill him,
Jejile jatulao nsiku nyafu, Abhayaudi nibhalwajisha amwi koleleki bhamwit.
24 but Saul learned of their plot. Day and night they watched the city gates in order to kill him.
Mbe nawe obhwilige-lige bhwebhwe nibhumenyekana na Sauli. nibhamutegela ku mulyango mu mwisi na mungeta koleleki bhamwite.
25 One night, however, his disciples took him and lowered him in a basket through a window in the wall.
Nawe abheigisibhwa bhae nibhamugega mungeta nibhamwisisha ku ndugu, kenu Ali mwikapo nibhamwisha kukinga Ansi.
26 When Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
Sauli ejile akinga Yerusalemu, alegejishe okubha amwi na bheigisibhwa nawe bhaliga nibhamubhaya, bhaliga bhatakwikilisha ati mwenene one ni mwiigisibhwa.
27 Then Barnabas brought him to the apostles and described how Saul had seen the Lord, who spoke to him on the road to Damascus, and how Saul had spoken boldly in that city in the name of Jesus.
Mbe nawe Barnaba namugega namsila ku ntumwa no kubhelesha lwa kutyo Sauli amubhwene Latabugenyi mu njila na lwa kutyo Latabugenyi aikile nage, lwa kutyo Sauli asimue kwo bhubhasi kubhwa lisina lya Yesu eyo Damesiki.
28 So Saul stayed with them, moving about freely in Jerusalem and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.
Abhugangene nabho anu bhaliga nibhengila no kuuluka okusoka mu Yerusalemu. Naika kwo bhubhasi kulwa lisina lya Latabungenyi Yesu,
29 He talked and debated with the Grecian Jews, but they tried to kill him.
nabhambashanya na Bhayaudi bhe chiyunani nawe kwiya kafu nibhalegeja okumwita.
30 When the brothers learned of this, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
Abhaili bhejile bhamenya omusango ogwo, nibhamugega okukinga kaisaria, no kumusila aje Tarso.
31 Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria experienced a time of peace. It grew in strength and numbers, living in the fear of the Lord and the encouragement of the Holy Spirit.
Mbe likanisa lyona mu bhuyaudi, Galilaya na Samaria nilibha no mulembhe no kumbhakwa, no kulibhatila mu bhubha bhwa Latabugenyi no kusilishanya kwa Mwoyo Mwelu; mbe likanisa nilikula na bhanu nibheyongesha.
32 As Peter traveled throughout the area, he went to visit the saints in Lydda.
Anu Petro aliga neinda-inda kumabhala gone age misi Jone namala nabhekila abhekilisha bhona bhanu bhaliga bhekae mu misi ja Lida.
33 There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been paralyzed and bedridden for eight years.
Eyo namulola omunu umwi lisina lyae Ainea, unu aliga amalile ku bhulili Miaka munana; kulwo kubha omubhili gwae gwaliga gufuye.
34 “Aeneas,” Peter said to him, “Jesus Christ heals you! Get up and put away your mat.” Immediately Aeneas got up,
Petro namubhwila, “Ainea, Yesu Kristo akwiulishe; imuka wiyanjulile obhulili bhwao,” Ao nao nemka.
35 and all who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord.
Abhanu bhona bhanu bhaliga bhekae Lida na Sharon bhejile bhamulola omunu oyo, nibhamuindukila Latabugenyi.
36 In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which is translated as Dorcas), who was always occupied with works of kindness and charity.
Aliga alio mwiigisibhwa Yafa aliga natogwa Tabitha, linu lyagajuywe ati “Dorcas” omugasi Unu aliga ejue emilimu ne bhikolwa bhye kisi ne chigogo chinu akolele mu bhataka.
37 At that time, however, she became sick and died, and her body was washed and placed in an upper room.
Jabhonekene mu nsiku ejo alwae nafwa; bhejile bhamwosha, nibhamulinya mu chumbha cha ingulu no kumumamya.
38 Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples heard that Peter was there and sent two men to urge him, “Come to us without delay.”
kulwo kubha Lida yaliga ayei na Yafa, na bheigisibhwa bhejile bhongwa ati Petro alio, nibhabhatuma bhanu bhabhili ku mwene, nibhamulembeleja, “nu uje kwiswe wasiga kukola.
39 So Peter got up and went with them. On his arrival, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood around him, weeping and showing him the tunics and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them.
Petro nemuka nagenda amwi nabho. Ejile akinga, nibhamuleta mu chumba cha ingulu. Mbe abhatumbagasi bhona nibhemelegulu ayei nage nibhalila, nibhamwelesha likoti na jingubho jinu Dorcas abhasonee mu mwanya ogwo aliga ali amwi nabho.
40 Then Peter sent them all out of the room. He knelt down and prayed, and turning toward her body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, she sat up.
Petro nabhaulusha bhona anja nibhasoka mu chumbha, nafukama nasabhwa okumala naguindukila omubhili, naika ati, “Tabitha, imuka”. Nabhandula ameso gae ejile amulola Petro Nenyanja ansi.
41 Peter took her by the hand and helped her up. Then he called the saints and widows and presented her to them alive.
Okumala Petro namuyana okubhoko kwae namwinamusha, mbe ejile abhabhilikila abhekilisha na abhatumbhagasi, namubhayana bhenene ali muanga.
42 This became known all over Joppa, and many people believed in the Lord.
omusango ogwo nigumenyekana mu Yafa yone, na bhanu bhafu nibhamwikilisha Latabugenyi.
43 And Peter stayed for several days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.
Njibhonekana Petro nenyanja Yafa mwanya mulela amwi no munu unu aliga nabhilikilwa Simoni, unu aliga nayasha jinjai.
