Acts 9
1 But meanwhile Saul was making violent threats against the disciples of the Lord, wanting to kill them. He went to the high priest
Mbe nawe saul, nagendelela- la okwaika no kubhakanga na jinfu ja bheigisibhwa bha Latabugenyi, agendele ku mugabhisi mukulu.
2 and asked for letters of authorization to take with him to the synagogues in Damascus, giving him permission to arrest any believers in the Way that he found, men or women, and bring them back to Jerusalem as prisoners.
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 approached Damascus, suddenly he was surrounded by a light that blazed down from heaven.
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 saying, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
omwene nagwa ansi nogwa obhulaka nibhumubhwila,”Sauli, Sauli, kulwaki ounyasha anye?”
5 “Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, the one you're persecuting,” he replied.
Sauli nasubhya, ka awe nawega Latabhugenyi? Latabhugenyi naika ati,”anye nanye Yesu unu ounyasha;
6 “Get up, go on into the city, and you'll be told what to do.”
mbe nawe imuka, wingile mu musi, oujokubhwilwa ganu geile okukola
7 The men who were traveling with Saul stood there speechless. They heard the voice speaking, but they didn't see anyone.
Abhanu bhalya bhanu bhalibhataga amwi na sauli nibhajibhila jibhi, nibhogwa obhulaka, bhatalolele munu.
8 Saul got to his feet, and when he opened his eyes, he couldn't see anything. His companions took him by the hand and led him into Damascus.
Mbe Sauli nemuka ansi ejile abhandula ameso gae, atabhwene chinu, nibhamugwata okubhoko nibhamuleta okukinga Damesiki.
9 For three days he couldn't see, and he didn't eat or drink anything.
ku nsiku esatu atakulola, nolwo kulya, amwi kunywa.
10 A follower of Jesus called Ananias lived in Damascus, and the Lord spoke to him in a vision. “Ananias!” he called. “I'm here, Lord,” Ananias responded.
Mbe aliga alio mwiigisibhwa Damesiki lisina lyae Anania, Latabugenyi aikile nage mu bhilolo, “Anania.” Naika ati, “lola, nilio anu Latabugenyi.
11 “Get up, and go to Straight Street,” the Lord told him. “Ask at Judas' house for someone called Saul, from Tarsus. He's 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 He's seen in vision a man called Ananias come and place his hands on him so he can regain his sight.”
Aliga amulolele mu bhilolo omunu unu lisina lyae Anania nengila no kumutelako amabhoko ingulu yae koleleki alole.
13 “But Lord,” Ananias replied, “I've heard a lot about this man—about all the evil things he did to the believers 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 The chief priests have given him the power to arrest everyone here that worships and follows you.”
Anu aliga ali na malagililo okusoka ku mugabhisi mukulu okumugwata bhuli umwi unu kalibhilikila lisina lyao.
15 But the Lord told him, “Get on your way, because he is the person I have chosen to take my name to foreigners and kings, as well as to 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 what he'll have to suffer for my name's sake.”
bhakama na mu bhana bha Israel. Kulwo kubha enija okubhelesha mafu ganu gamwiile okunyasibhwa kulwa lisina lyani”.
17 So Ananias left and went to the house. He placed his hands on Saul. “Brother Saul,” he said, “The Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were traveling here, has sent me so you can regain your sight 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 Immediately, something like scales fell from his 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 He also had something to eat and felt stronger. Saul spent several days with the disciples in Damascus.
Nenyanja amwi na beigisibwa eyo Damesiki nsiku nyafu.
20 He immediately started speaking in the synagogues, saying, “Jesus 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 amazed, and asked, “Isn't this the man who caused so much trouble in Jerusalem for those who believed in Jesus? Wasn't he coming here to have the believers arrested and taken in chains 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 Saul grew more and more confident, proving Jesus was the Messiah so convincingly that the Jews who lived in Damascus could not refute him.
Mbe nawe Sauli asakiywe mu kusimula no kubhakola Abhayaudi bhanu bhaliga bhekae Damesiki na nibhagandasibhwa no kubhakomelesha ati unu niwe masiya (kristo).
23 Some time later the Jews plotted together to kill him,
Jejile jatulao nsiku nyafu, Abhayaudi nibhalwajisha amwi koleleki bhamwit.
24 but Saul learned of their intentions. Day and night they waited by the city gates looking for the chance to murder him.
Mbe nawe obhwilige-lige bhwebhwe nibhumenyekana na Sauli. nibhamutegela ku mulyango mu mwisi na mungeta koleleki bhamwite.
25 So during the night his followers took him and lowered him down in a basket from an opening in the city wall.
Nawe abheigisibhwa bhae nibhamugega mungeta nibhamwisisha ku ndugu, kenu Ali mwikapo nibhamwisha kukinga Ansi.
26 When Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to meet with the disciples, but they were all afraid of him because they were not convinced he was really a disciple.
Sauli ejile akinga Yerusalemu, alegejishe okubha amwi na bheigisibhwa nawe bhaliga nibhamubhaya, bhaliga bhatakwikilisha ati mwenene one ni mwiigisibhwa.
27 However, Barnabas took him to meet the apostles, and explained to them how Saul had seen the Lord on the road and how the Lord had spoken to Saul. Barnabas also explained how in Damascus Saul had spoken boldly 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 Saul stayed with the apostles and accompanied them all over Jerusalem,
Abhugangene nabho anu bhaliga nibhengila no kuuluka okusoka mu Yerusalemu. Naika kwo bhubhasi kulwa lisina lya Latabungenyi Yesu,
29 speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. He talked and debated with the Greek-speaking 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 to Caesarea, and sent him to Tarsus.
Abhaili bhejile bhamenya omusango ogwo, nibhamugega okukinga kaisaria, no kumusila aje Tarso.
31 During this time the whole church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria was left in peace. The church grew strong and increased rapidly in numbers as the believers lived reverently for the Lord, encouraged by 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 Peter was traveling around and went to visit the believers who lived 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 met a man called Aeneas who was paralyzed and had been confined to his bed for eight years.
Eyo namulola omunu umwi lisina lyae Ainea, unu aliga amalile ku bhulili Miaka munana; kulwo kubha omubhili gwae gwaliga gufuye.
34 Peter told him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you! Get up and pick up your mat!” Immediately Aeneas got up.
Petro namubhwila, “Ainea, Yesu Kristo akwiulishe; imuka wiyanjulile obhulili bhwao,” Ao nao nemka.
35 Everyone living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and became believers in the Lord.
Abhanu bhona bhanu bhaliga bhekae Lida na Sharon bhejile bhamulola omunu oyo, nibhamuindukila Latabugenyi.
36 In Joppa lived a follower called Tabitha, (Dorcas in Greek). She was always doing good and helping the poor.
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 However, about this time she became sick, and died. After washing her body, they laid her out in an upstairs room.
Jabhonekene mu nsiku ejo alwae nafwa; bhejile bhamwosha, nibhamulinya mu chumbha cha ingulu no kumumamya.
38 Lydda was near Joppa, so the disciples in Joppa, hearing that Peter was in Lydda, sent two men to him with the message, “Please come to us right away.”
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 ready and left with them. When he arrived they took him upstairs. All the widows were there crying, and they showed him the coats and clothes that Dorcas had made while she was 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 Peter told them all to leave, kneeled down, and prayed. He turned to the body and said, “Tabitha, get up.” She opened her eyes, and when she saw 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 He took her by the hand and lifted her up. He called in the believers and the widows, and presented her to them alive.
Okumala Petro namuyana okubhoko kwae namwinamusha, mbe ejile abhabhilikila abhekilisha na abhatumbhagasi, namubhayana bhenene ali muanga.
42 The news spread through the whole of Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
omusango ogwo nigumenyekana mu Yafa yone, na bhanu bhafu nibhamwikilisha Latabugenyi.
43 Peter spent a long time in Joppa, staying at the house of Simon the tanner.
Njibhonekana Petro nenyanja Yafa mwanya mulela amwi no munu unu aliga nabhilikilwa Simoni, unu aliga nayasha jinjai.
