Acts 8
1 And Saul was consenting to his being killed. And on that day there arose a great persecution against the assembly which was in Jerusalem, and all were scattered into the countries of Judaea 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 And pious men buried Stephen and made great lamentation over him.
Bhanu bhacha mungu bhan'syelili Stefano ni kubhomba maombolez mabhaha juu jha muene.
3 But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into the houses one after another, and dragging off both men and women delivered them up to prison.
Lakini Sauli alilizuru likanisa. Alotili nyumba kwa nyumba nikubhabuniza kwibhala bhadala ni bhagosi, ni kubhasopa mu ligereza.
4 Those then that had been scattered went through [the countries] announcing the glad tidings of the word.
Bhabhikeera ambabho bhatawanyiki bado bhalihubiri lilobhi.
5 And Philip, going down to a city of Samaria, preached the Christ to them;
Filipo asalili katika mji bhwa Samaria ni kun'tangasya Kristu okhu.
6 and the crowds with one accord gave heed to the things spoken by Philip, when they heard [him] and saw the signs which he wrought.
Baada jha makutano kup'eleka ni ishara syaabhombi Filipo; bhakabheka umakini juu jha khela kyaajobhili.
7 For from many who had unclean spirits they went out, crying with a loud voice; and many that were paralysed and lame were healed.
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 a certain man, by name Simon, had been before in the city, using magic arts, and astonishing the nation of Samaria, saying that himself 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 had all given heed, from small to great, saying, This is the power of God which is called great.
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 that for a long time he had astonished them by his magic arts.
Bhakamp'elekesya, kwa ndabha abhesyangese mda mrefu kwa uhabhi bhwa muene.
12 But when they believed Philip announcing the glad tidings concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptised, 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 also himself believed; and, having been baptised, continued constantly with Philip; and, beholding the signs and great works of power which took place, was astonished.
Ni Simoni muene akyeriri; baada jha kubatisibhwa ajhendelili kujha ni Filipo; bho abhuene ishara ni miujiza jhaijhele jhibhombekeghe, ashangele.
14 And the apostles who were in Jerusalem, having heard that Samaria had received the word of God, 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, having come down, prayed for them that they might receive [the] Holy Spirit;
Wakati bhiselela bhakabhaombela; kujha bhampokelayi Roho mtakatifu.
16 for he was not yet fallen upon any of them, only they were baptised to 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 upon them, and they received [the] Holy Spirit.
Ndipo Petro ni Yohana bhakabhabhekela mabhoko ni bhene bhakampokela Roho mtakatifu.
18 But Simon, having seen that by the laying on of the hands of the apostles the [Holy] Spirit was given, offered them money,
Wakati Simoni abhwena Roho mtakatifu abhosibhu kupetelakubhekibhwa mabhoko ni mitume; alondeghe kubhapela hela,
19 saying, Give to me also this power, in order that on whomsoever I may lay hands he may receive [the] Holy Spirit.
Akajobha, “Nipelayi nghofu ejhe, ili kila jha nibetakumbeka mabhoko paokelayi Roho mtakatifu.”
20 And Peter said to him, Thy money go with thee to destruction, because thou hast thought that the gift of God can be obtained by 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 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter, for thy heart is not upright before God.
Ujhelepi ni sehemu kulijambo e'le, n'nofu lepi mbele sya K'yara.
22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and supplicate the Lord, if indeed the thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee;
Hivyo basi, tubuayi maovu gha jhobhi ni kun'soka K'yara labda wibeta kusamehebhwa fikra sya muoyo ghwa jhobhi.
23 for I see thee to be in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness.
Kwa maana nibhona ujhele mu sumu jha bhuchungu ni kifungu kya dhambi.”
24 And Simon answering said, Supplicate ye for me to the Lord, so that nothing may come upon me of the things of which ye have spoken.
Simoni akajibu ni kujobha, “Mun'sokayi Bwana kwa ndabha jha nene kwa kujha mambo ghoha ghamulongelili ghibhwesya kunitokela.
25 They therefore, having testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and announced the glad tidings to 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 But [the] angel of [the] Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Rise up and go southward on the way which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza: the same 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 rose up and went. And lo, an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a man in power under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to worship at Jerusalem,
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: and he was reading the prophet Esaias.
Wakati ikerebhuka atamili mu ligari lyamuene isoma chuo kya nabii Isaya.
29 And the Spirit said to Philip, Approach and join this chariot.
Roho akajobha ni Filipo, “Hegelelayi karibu ni ligari e'le ukakamulana nalu.
30 And Philip, running up, heard him reading the prophet Esaias, and said, Dost thou then know what thou art reading of?
“Efyo Filipo akalota mbio, akampeleka isoma mu chuo kya nabii Isaya; akajobha, umanyili kya wisoma?”
31 And he said, How should I then be able unless some one guide me? And he begged 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 And the passage of the scripture which he read was this: He was led as a sheep to slaughter, and as a lamb is dumb in presence of him that shears him, thus he opens 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 his judgment has been taken away, and who shall declare his generation? for his life is 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 answering Philip said, I pray thee, concerning whom does the prophet say this? of himself or of some other?
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, opening his mouth and beginning from that scripture, announced the glad tidings of Jesus to him.
Filipo ajhandikulongela, abhwanji kwa andiko e'le lya Isaya kun'hubirira habari sya Yesu.
36 And as they went along the way, they came upon a certain water, and the eunuch says, Behold water; what hinders my being baptised?
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 stop. And they went down both to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptised him.
Bhakalota mugati mu masi, pamonga ni Filipo ni towashi, Filipoakambatisya.
39 But when they came up out of the water [the] Spirit of [the] Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no longer, 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 And Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through he announced the glad tidings to all the cities till he came to Caesarea.
Lakini Filipo akahomela Azoto. Apetili mu mkoa bhola ni kuhubiri injili mu miji ghioha mpaka bho afikili Kaisaria.
