Acts 9
1 But Saul, still burning with desire to put to death the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
Saulo usa walapitilisha kuyosha sha kushina bantu balikukonkela kwiyisha kwa Yesu. Walaya kuli Mukulene wa Beshimilumbo,
2 And made a request for letters from him to the Synagogues of Damascus, so that if there were any of the Way there, men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
kuya kusenga makalata akumusuminisha kuyanawo ku manda akupaililamo ku Damasiko, kwambeti acanako nabambi bantu bacikonkela kwiyisha kwa Yesu, babe batuloba, nambi batukashi abasunge ne kubaleta ku Yelusalemu.
3 And while he was journeying, he came near Damascus; and suddenly he saw a light from heaven shining round him;
Mpobalashika pepi ne ku Damasiko mu bulwendo bwakendi, mwakutengashila mumuni watuba tuu walafuma kwilu ne ku mushinguluka.
4 And he went down on the earth, and a voice said to him, Saul, Saul, why are you attacking me so cruelly?
Walawa panshi ne ku nyumfwa liswi lya kwambeti, “Saulo, Saulo, ulampenshelenga cani?”
5 And he said, Who are you, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus, whom you are attacking:
Saulo walepusheti, “Inga njamwe bani Mwami?” Liswi lyalamukumbuleti, “Njame Yesu ngolapenshenga.
6 But get up, and go into the town, and it will be made clear to you what you have to do.
Nyamuka, koya wingile mu munshi uwu, ni bakwambile ca kwinsa.”
7 And the men who were with him were not able to say anything; hearing the voice, but seeing no one.
Bantu mbwalikuba nabo balemana, babula ca kwambapo, maswi awo bali kwanyumfwa, nsombi nkabalikumubona muntu walikwamba.
8 And Saul got up from the earth, and when his eyes were open, he saw nothing; and he was guided by the hand into Damascus.
Saulo walanyamuka, nsombi mpwalakapula menso, calala kubona cili conse. Neco banendi mbwalikuba nabo balengila nendi mu munshi wa Damasiko kabali bamwikatilila ku cikasa.
9 And for three days he was not able to see, and he took no food or drink.
Walekala masuba atatu katabono, katali cakulya, nambi kunwa cili conse.
10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias! and he said, Here I am, Lord.
Lino mu Damasiko mwalikuba shikwiya naumbi lina lyakendi Hananiya. Uyo walabona mucimbonimboni Mwami kamukuweti, “Hananiya!” Nendi walakumbuleti, “Mwami!”
11 And the Lord said to him, Get up, and go to the street which is named Straight, and make search at the house of Judas for one named Saul of Tarsus: for he is at prayer;
Lino Mwami wala mwambileti, “Nyamuka, wenga kunshila njobakute kukuweti, ‘Nshila ya Tandabala.’ Washika ku ng'anda ya Yuda, wenga wipusheko muntu wa ku Taliso, lina lyakendi ni Saulo. Lapailinga pacino cindi.
12 And he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hands on him, so that he may be able to see.
Mucimbonimboni walabona muntu lina lyakendi ni Hananiya walesa ku bika makasa akendi palyendiye kwambeti akonshe kubona kayi.”
13 But Ananias said, Lord, I have had accounts of this man from a number of people, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem:
Mpwalanyumfweco Hananiya walambeti, “Mwami, bantu bangi balang'ambili sha muntuyu, walabenshila bintu byaipa bantu benu ku Yelusalemu.
14 And here he has authority from the chief priests to make prisoners all who give worship to your name.
Lino kayi uli kuno pakusuminishiwa ne beshimilumbo bamakulene kwambeti ese abasunge abo bonse bakute kukambilila amwe.”
15 But the Lord said, Go without fear: for he is a special vessel for me, to give to the Gentiles and kings and to the children of Israel the knowledge of my name:
Nsombi nendi Mwami Yesu walamwambileti, “Koya, pakwinga muntuyu ndamusala, ni musebenshi wakame eshakakambaukile mishobo imbi sha Lina lyakame, bami ne bene Islayeli.
16 For I will make clear to him what troubles he will have to undergo for me.
Ame nindimuboneshe bishikubaba bingi mbyeshi akanyumfwe pacebo ca lina lyakame.”
17 And Ananias went out and came to the house, and putting his hands on him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, whom you saw when you were on your journey, has sent me, so that you may be able to see, and be full of the Holy Spirit.
Popelapo Hananiya walanyamuka ne kuya kwingila mu ng'anda umo mwalikuba Saulo. Walabika makasa pali Saulo ne kwambeti, “Mwanse wame Saulo, Mwami Yesu uyo wakubonekela pa nshila mpo wesanga kuno, lantumu. Layandangeti utatike kubona, kayi eti wisulilwe ne Mushimu Uswepa.”
18 And straight away it seemed as if a veil was taken from his eyes, and he was able to see; and he got up, and had baptism;
Popelapo mu menso mwa Saulo mwalafuma bintu bilyeti mamba answi. Walatatika kubona kayi, walanyamuka ne kubatishiwa.
19 And when he had taken food his strength came back. And for some days he kept with the disciples who were in Damascus.
Panyuma pakulya cakulya, walaba ne ngofu. Saulo walekala ne beshikwiya baku Damasiko kwa masuba ang'ana.
20 And straight away, in the Synagogues, he was preaching Jesus as the Son of God.
Mwakutataya cindi, Saulo walatatika kukambauka mu manda akupaililamo a Bayuda, kwambeti Yesu ni Mwanendi Lesa.
21 And all those hearing him were full of wonder and said, Is not this the man who in Jerusalem was attacking all the worshippers of this name? and he had come here so that he might take them as prisoners before the chief priests.
Bantu bonse balikumunyumfwa balakankamana ne kwipushana bene, “Sena uyu nteyo usa walikushina bantu bashoma Yesu ku Yelusalemu? Sena kuno nte leshili kwisa kusunga bantu bamushobo uwu bonse ne kubatwala kuli beshimilumbo bamakulene?”
22 But Saul went on increasing in power, and the Jews in Damascus were not able to give answers to the arguments by which he made it clear that Jesus was the Christ.
Ngofu sha Saulo sha kukambauka shali kuya kukonempa, walapwisha mano Bayuda balikwikala mu Damasiko, ne kubashinineti Yesu endiye Mupulushi Walaiwa.
23 Then, after some days, the Jews made an agreement together to put him to death:
Mpopalapita cindi citali, Bayuda balapanganeti bamushine Saulo.
24 But Saul got knowledge of their design. And they kept watch day and night on the roads out of the town, so that they might put him to death:
Bantu balikuyanda kumushina bali kumupembelela munshi ne mashiku pacishinga ca mushi kwambeti bamushine. Nomba nabambi bantu balaya kumwambila nshebalapangana.
25 But his disciples took him by night and let him down from the wall in a basket.
Neco pacindi ca mashiku beshikwiya bakendi balamubika mu mutanga ne kumupulishila pa cibwanko ca lubumbu lwa lilinga.
26 And when he came to Jerusalem, he made an attempt to be joined to the disciples, but they were all in fear of him, not taking him for a disciple.
Mpwalashika ku Yelusalemu, Saulo walelekesha kusankana pamo ne beshikwiya. Nomba bonse balikuba ne buyowa, balikutonshanya kwambeti neye ni shikwiya.
27 But Barnabas took him to the Apostles and gave them an account of how he had seen the Lord on the road, and had given hearing to his words, and how at Damascus he had been preaching in the name of Jesus without fear.
Popelapo Banabasi, walamumanta Saulo ne kumutwala kuli batumwa. Banabasi walabambila batumwa mbuli Saulo mwalabonena Mwami Yesu pa nshila ya ku Damasiko, ne Mwami ncalamwambila, kayi walabambila ncali kukambauka Saulo mulina lya Yesu mwakubula buyowa ku Damasiko.
28 And he was with them, going in and out at Jerusalem,
Neco Saulo walekala nabo, walendana mu Yelusalemu monse kaya ku kambauka mulina lya Mwami Yesu mwakubula buyowa.
29 Preaching in the name of the Lord without fear; and he had discussions with the Greek Jews; but they were working for his death.
Saulo walikwamba ne kutotekeshana nabo Bayuda bali kwamba Cigiliki. Pacebo ico, naboyo balelekesha kumushina.
30 And when the brothers had knowledge of it, they took him to Caesarea and sent him to Tarsus.
Beshikwiya mpobala nyumfweco, balaya pamo nendi ku Kaisaleya, ne kumutuma ku Taliso.
31 And so the church through all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was made strong; and, living in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, was increased greatly.
Mibungano yonse yaku Yudeya, ne ku Galileya, kayi ne ku Samaliya yalekala mubote. Kayi yalayumayuma, bantu balafula, pakwinga bantu cindi conse balikupa bulemu Mwami. Kayi Mushimu Uswepa walikubayuminisha.
32 And it came about that while Peter was going through all parts of the country he came to the saints who were living at Lydda.
Petulo mpwali kwendana uku ne uku, walakekala pamo ne bantu ba Lesa baku Lida.
33 And there was a certain man there, named Aeneas, who for eight years had been in bed, without power of moving.
Uko nkwalacana mutuloba naumbi lina lyakendi Eneya, walikuba watontola biso bya mubili, walikonowa pampasa kwa byaka bisanu ne bitatu, kwakubula kupunduka.
34 And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ makes you well: get up and make your bed. And straight away he got up.
Petulo walamwambileti, “Eneya, Yesu Klistu lakusengulunga. Punduka, yansula mpasa yakobe.” Popelapo walapunduka.
35 And all those living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and were turned to the Lord.
Mpobalamubona bantu bonse bekala mu Lida, ne mu Saloni, balashoma Mwami.
36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, that is, Dorcas: this woman was given to good works and acts of mercy at all times.
Ku Yopa kwalikuba shikwiya naumbi mutukashi, lina lya kendi Tabita mu Cigiliki ni Dolika. Wali kwinsa ncito shingi shaina, wali kunyamfwa bapenshi.
37 And it came about, in those days, that she got ill and came to her death: and when she had been washed, they put her in a room which was high up.
Pacindico Dolika walakolwa ne kufwa. Bantu balasambisha citumbi, ne kuconeka mu cipinda capelu mu ng'anda.
38 And because Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having knowledge that Peter was there, sent two men to him, requesting him to come to them straight away.
Ku Yopa kwalikuba pepi ne ku Lida, neco beshikwiya mpobalanyumfweti Petulo uli ku Lida, balatuma bantu babili kuya kumwambileti, “Tulapapata, kamwisani kuno lino lino.”
39 And Peter went with them. And when he had come, they took him into the room: and all the widows were there, weeping and putting before him the coats and clothing which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
Petulo walanyamuka ne kuya nabo. Mpwalashika, balamushindikila mu cipinda ca pelu cisa. Walacanamo batukashi bangi bamukalubingi kabalila, balamushinguluka Petulo ne kumulesha minjila ne byakufwala nabimbi mbyali kutunga Dolika, cindi ncalikuba muyumi.
40 But Peter made them all go outside, and went down on his knees in prayer; and turning to the body, he said, Tabitha, get up. And, opening her eyes, she saw Peter and got up.
Petulo walasenga bonse mwa bulemu kwambeti benga pansa. Walasuntama panshi ne kupaila. Walacebukila kwalikuba citumbi cisa ne kwambeti, “Tabita, punduka!” Tabita walakapula, mpwalabona Petulo, walekala ne kwikala.
41 And he took her hand, lifting her up; and, sending for the saints and widows, he gave her to them, living.
Petulo walamwikata kucikasa ne kumunyamfwilisha kwimana. Petulo walakuwa bantu bonse, bashoma Lesa, ne basa batukashi bamukalubingi, ne kumutwala Tabita kulyendibo kali muyumi ntaa!
42 And news of it went all through Joppa, and a number of people had faith in the Lord.
Makani awa mpwalanyumfwika ku Yopa, bantu bangi balashoma Mwami Lesa.
43 And he was living in Joppa for some time with Simon, a leather-worker.
Petulo walekala masuba angi ku Yopa ku ng'anda ya muntu naumbi lina lyakendi Shimoni, kanyuka mpaya.
