Acts 16
1 Paul went first to Derbe, and then on to Lystra, where he met a believer by the name of Timothy. He was the son of a Jewish Christian mother, and his father was Greek.
U Paulo pahinzile hu Derbe na hu Lystra; epo ahali ukijana umo yalyeteshe izu itawa yu Timotheo, ni Kijana aliyezaliwa na unyina ali Yahudi uise ali Giriki.
2 The brothers at Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him.
Abhantu bha Lystra nahu Ikonia bhahayanjile shinza.
3 Paul wanted Timothy to travel with him, so he circumcised him because the Jews in the area all knew that Timothy's father was Greek.
U Paulo wanza asogole nawo, wamwega watahiili maana Ayahudi bhaaminyu huje uise wa Timotheo huje Giriki.
4 As they went through the different towns they gave them the requirements the apostles and elders in Jerusalem had said should be observed.
Wabhasogolaga bhishiliye humiji bhabhalajizya huja bhazikhataje zyazisimbilwa natume hula hu Yerusalemu.
5 The churches were strengthened in their trust in the Lord and every day their numbers increased.
Amakanisa gakhala shinza wa bhantu bhahinji bhonjelela apendushe hwa Yesu.
6 They traveled through the districts of Phrygia and Galatia, since the Holy Spirit prevented them from going to the province of Asia to speak the word.
U Paulo nu wamwao bhabhala hu Filigia na hu Galatia, Umpepo wa Ngulubhi abhakhanile alumbilile izu hwijimbo lya hu Asia.
7 When they arrived at the border of Mysia they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to enter.
Nabhapalamila hu Misia, bhahalinga abhale hu Bithinia, lelo Umpepo wa Yesu wabhakhana.
8 So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas.
Shashila hu Misia bhabha hu Troa.
9 There Paul saw in vision during the night a man from Macedonia standing up, pleading with him, “Please come over to Macedonia and help us!”
Nusiku uPaulo walola embonesyo umuntu wa hu Makedonia abhakwizya aiga mwenzemutavwe ohu.”
10 After Paul saw this vision, we immediately made arrangements to go to Macedonia, since we concluded that God had called us to share the good news with them.
U Paulo nawalola embonesyo ezyo bhamanya huju Ungulubhi abhakwizizye huje bhabhale hu Makedonia, alumbilile izu lya Ngulubhi.
11 We set sail from Troas and made straight for Samothrace. The next day we went on to Neapolis,
Tasogola afume hu Troa, tabhala hu Samothrake, shandao lwakwe tafiha hu Neapoli.
12 and from there to Philippi, the most important town in Macedonia, and also a Roman colony. We stayed in this city for several days.
Afume uhwo tafiha hu Filipi eya hu Makedonia, gwali muji gosi hu wilaya yabhatawalile Arumi uhwo takhiye hashe.
13 On the Sabbath day we went out of the town gates down to the riverside where we thought people would come to pray. We sat down and talked with the women that had gathered there.
Isiku elyelutuyo tahabhalile hwonze ye ndyango gwe muji tajendile idala elyahwisoho tagaga kabhanga tigapaga apapuutilw, tahakha pansi tayanga na bhashi bhamo bhabhahinzile uhwo.
14 One of them was called Lydia, who sold purple cloth from the town of Thyatira. She worshiped God, and she listened to us. The Lord opened her mind to what Paul was saying, and she accepted what he told her.
Ushi umo itawa yu Lidia, yakazyaga amasukwa(usukwa), afumile hu Tiatira, atitejelezizye, Ungulubhi amwiguye umwoyo nahuzibhishe humwoyo zyaziyangwilwe nu Paulo.
15 After she and all her household were baptized, she pleaded with us, “If you really think that I'm truly committed to the Lord, then come and stay at my house.” She kept on insisting until we agreed!
Nawoziwa uumwene na bha munyumba yakwe watilabha aje tikhale pakhaya yakwe atilambile tee.
16 One day when we were going down to the place of prayer we met a slave girl possessed by an evil spirit. She earned her masters a great deal of money by fortune-telling.
Natabhalaga apuute, ulinouumo yali ne Mpepo embibhi ezyelaguzi takhomine nhwo, ulinduuyo apelaga efaida Ugosi, wakwe hulaguzi wakwe.
17 This girl followed Paul and the rest of us around, shouting, “These men are the servants of Almighty God. They are telling you how to be saved!”
Ushi unu alondozizye u Paulo naje ebha bhantu bha Ngulubhi ula ugosi yabhabhalumbilila amawe idala elye wokovu”.
18 She went on doing this for several days. This bothered Paul so he turned around and told the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to leave her!” The spirit immediately left her.
Abhombile isho ensiku zyenyinji, lelo u Paulo avitilwe tee u Paulo pawagaluha hwisalo walidimila lila ipepo, “Waga awe wu mpepo embibhi epa mwunu usogole hwi tawa lya Yesu empepo embibhi yafuma.
19 But when her masters saw they had lost their means of making money, they grabbed hold of Paul and Silas and dragged them before the authorities at the marketplace.
Agosi bhakwe ulenduula bhabhakhata aPaulo nu Sila bhabhadenemula musokoni na aviongozi bhahenyaga.
20 They brought them in front of the magistrates, and accused them: “These Jewish men are causing a great disturbance in our town,” they said.
Na bhafisya hwalonzi bhaga abhantu ebha Bhayahudi bhaleta ibwango munsi yetu.
21 “They're advocating things that are illegal for us as Romans to accept or to practice.”
Bhamanyizya enongwa zyasentihwanziwa akhate nazifute neshi Arumi.”
22 The crowd joined together in an attack on them. The magistrates tore off Paul and Silas' clothes, and ordered them beaten with rods.
Ipuga lya bhantu bhabhakhata aPaulo nu Sila, alonzi bhabhasatula amenda gabho naje bhakhomwe ne nsanzo(bhashetwe)
23 After giving them a severe beating, they threw them into prison, ordering the jailer to keep them locked up.
Nabhashetwa nensanzo zye nyinji bhabhaponya mwijela na bhabhuule alinzi aje bhabhalinde shinza.
24 The jailer followed his orders. He threw Paul and Silas into the inner cell and shackled their feet in the stocks.
Bhaala alinzi nabhaposhela eamri, bhabhafunga aPaulo wusila ahati nyene bhabhapinya namanyoro mumanama.
25 Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing praises to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.
Nu siku nyene aPaulo nu Sila bhapuuta natele eng'oma ezya hulumbe Ungulubhi ohu afungwe abhanje bhatejelezya,
26 Suddenly a tremendous earthquake shook the foundations of the prison. Immediately all the doors flew open and everyone's chains fell off.
Lyahafumila itensia lyayinzya ensi amandyango gigereza giguha na manyoro gafungwe gayembela.
27 The jailer woke up and saw the doors of the prison wide open. He drew his sword and was about to kill himself, thinking that the prisoners had escaped.
Olinzi wi Gereza wabhuha ahwenya eshi amandyango gu gereza gigushe wayeta wega ipanga wanzaje ahwibhole agagajibha afungwe bhonti bhaselenjile,
28 But Paul shouted out, “Don't hurt yourself—we're all still here!”
U Paulo wakhoola hwizu igosi waga usahwibude ate tenti tihweli epa”.
29 The jailer asked for lights to be brought and rushed in. Shaking with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas.
Walabha amakhozyo walavya uhu ayetile wa yinje, wabhagwila aPaulo nu Sila,
30 He escorted them out and asked them, “Sirs, what do I have to do so I can be saved?”
wabhafumya hwunzi yi gereza waga mwebha gosi embombe wili nanii enokoshe?”
31 “Trust in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your whole household,” they replied.
Bhabhuula bhaga mwitishe uYesu nawee ubhahwokoshe na bhantu bhonti bhabhali munyumba yaho.”
32 Then they shared the word of the Lord with him and everyone who lived in his house.
Bhayanga izu lya Ngulubhi na bhantu bhakwe bhabhali munyumba yakwe,
33 Even though it was late at night he bathed their wounds, and he was baptized right away, along with all his family.
Ulinzi wi gereza wabhega nu siku lwulwo(wuwo), wabhozya mwabhavwaliye umwene na bhantu bhonti abha munyumba yakwe bhoziwa.
34 He took them home and had a meal prepared for them. The jailer and his whole family were full of joy because they trusted in God.
Wabhaleta akhaya yakwe wabhapeela ishalye. Wabhanoluseshelo na bhantu bhonti abha munyumba.
35 Early the next day the magistrate sent officials to the jailer, telling him, “Release those men.”
Pasanya alonzi, bhatuma umuntu huje bhabhuule, ulinzi wi gereza abhefwe abhantu bhaala bhasogolaje”,
36 The jailer told Paul, “The magistrates have sent word to release you. So you can leave, and go in peace.”
Ulinzi wi gereza wabhuula uPaulo huje alonzi bhajile embefwe musogolaje mubhalaje amwenyu.”
37 But Paul told them, “They publicly beat us without a trial—and yet we're Roman citizens! Then they threw us in prison. Now they want to quietly let us go? No, they should come themselves and release us!”
U Paulo wabhabhuula huje batikhomile nativwalazye pabhantu tatili Bharumi nkatilonje eshi bhalwatefwe shisili ate seetifuma bhenze bhatifumye bhibho”.
38 The officials went back and reported this to the magistrates. When they heard that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens they were really worried,
Ulinzi wabhabhuula alonzi enongwa zya Paulo nu Sila alonzi bhayeta ahwumvwe huje aPaulo nu Sila Bharumi.
39 and went to apologize to them. They escorted them out and begged them to leave town.
Alonzi bhenza abhefwe na bhabhafumya bhabhalaabha huje bhepe munsi yabho.
40 So Paul and Silas left the prison and went to Lydia's house. There they met with the believers, encouraged them, and then went on their way.
A Paulo nu Sila bhafuma mwigereza bhabhala hu khaya ya Lidia. U Paulo nabhabhalola abhamwabho bhabhagwizya umwoyo, pamade bhasogola bhepa munsi iyo.
