Acts 8
1 And Saul consented to his death, and at that time, there was a great persecution against the Church which was at Hierusalem, and they were all scattered abroad thorowe the regions of Iudea and of 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 Then certaine men fearing God, caried Steuen amongs them, to be buried, and made great lamentation for him.
Bhanu bhacha mungu bhan'syelili Stefano ni kubhomba maombolez mabhaha juu jha muene.
3 But Saul made hauocke of the Church, and entred into euery house, and drewe out both men and women, and put them into prison.
Lakini Sauli alilizuru likanisa. Alotili nyumba kwa nyumba nikubhabuniza kwibhala bhadala ni bhagosi, ni kubhasopa mu ligereza.
4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad, went to and from preaching the worde.
Bhabhikeera ambabho bhatawanyiki bado bhalihubiri lilobhi.
5 Then came Philip into the citie of Samaria, and preached Christ vnto them.
Filipo asalili katika mji bhwa Samaria ni kun'tangasya Kristu okhu.
6 And the people gaue heed vnto those things which Philippe spake, with one accorde, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
Baada jha makutano kup'eleka ni ishara syaabhombi Filipo; bhakabheka umakini juu jha khela kyaajobhili.
7 For vncleane spirits crying with a loud voyce, came out of many that were possessed of them: and many taken with palsies, and that halted, 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 ioy in that citie.
Na kwajhele ni furaha mbaha mu mji.
9 And there was before in the citie a certaine man called Simon, which vsed witchcraft, and bewitched the people of Samaria, saying that he himselfe was some great man.
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 whome they gaue heede from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is that great power of God.
Bhasamaria bhoha kuhomela bhana hata bhabhaha, bhakamp'elekesya, bhakajobha, “Munu ojho ndo jhela nghofu jha K'yara ambajho ndo mbaha.”
11 And they gaue heed vnto him, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
Bhakamp'elekesya, kwa ndabha abhesyangese mda mrefu kwa uhabhi bhwa muene.
12 But assoone as they beleeued Philip, which preached the thinges that concerned the kingdome of God, and the Name of Iesus Christ, they were baptized 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 Then Simon himselfe beleeued also and was baptized, and continued with Philippe, and wondred, when he sawe the signes and great miracles which were done.
Ni Simoni muene akyeriri; baada jha kubatisibhwa ajhendelili kujha ni Filipo; bho abhuene ishara ni miujiza jhaijhele jhibhombekeghe, ashangele.
14 Nowe when the Apostles, which were at Hierusalem, heard say, that Samaria had receiued the worde of God, they sent vnto them Peter and Iohn.
Wakati mitume bha Yerusalemu bho bhap'eliki kujha samaria ipokili lilobhi lya K'yara bhakabhautma Petro ni Yohana.
15 Which whe they were come downe, prayed for them, that they might receiue the holy Ghost.
Wakati bhiselela bhakabhaombela; kujha bhampokelayi Roho mtakatifu.
16 (For as yet, hee was fallen downe on none of them, but they were baptized onely in the Name of the Lord Iesus.)
Mpaka mda obhu, Roho mtakatifu ajhele akona kubhaselelela hata mmonga ghwa bhene; bhabatisibhu lu kwa lihina lya Bwana Yesu.
17 Then layd they their handes on them, and they receiued the holy Ghost.
Ndipo Petro ni Yohana bhakabhabhekela mabhoko ni bhene bhakampokela Roho mtakatifu.
18 And when Simon sawe, that through laying on of the Apostles hands the holy Ghost was giuen, he offred them money,
Wakati Simoni abhwena Roho mtakatifu abhosibhu kupetelakubhekibhwa mabhoko ni mitume; alondeghe kubhapela hela,
19 Saying, Giue mee also this power, that on whomsoeuer I lay the handes, he may receiue the holy Ghost.
Akajobha, “Nipelayi nghofu ejhe, ili kila jha nibetakumbeka mabhoko paokelayi Roho mtakatifu.”
20 Then saide Peter vnto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou thinkest that the gift of God may be obteined with 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 fellowship in this businesse: for thine heart is not right in the sight of God.
Ujhelepi ni sehemu kulijambo e'le, n'nofu lepi mbele sya K'yara.
22 Repent therefore of this thy wickednes, and pray God, that if it be possible, the thought of thine heart may be forgiuen thee.
Hivyo basi, tubuayi maovu gha jhobhi ni kun'soka K'yara labda wibeta kusamehebhwa fikra sya muoyo ghwa jhobhi.
23 For I see that thou art in the gall of bitternes, and in the bonde of iniquitie.
Kwa maana nibhona ujhele mu sumu jha bhuchungu ni kifungu kya dhambi.”
24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye haue spoken, come vpon me.
Simoni akajibu ni kujobha, “Mun'sokayi Bwana kwa ndabha jha nene kwa kujha mambo ghoha ghamulongelili ghibhwesya kunitokela.
25 So they, when they had testified and preached the worde of the Lord, returned to Hierusalem, and preached the Gospel in many townes 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 Then the Angel of the Lord spake vnto Philip, saying, Arise, and goe towarde the South vnto the way that goeth downe from Hierusalem vnto Gaza, which is waste.
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 hee arose and went on: and beholde, a certaine Eunuche of Ethiopia, Candaces the Queene of the Ethiopians chiefe Gouernour, who had the rule of all her treasure, and came to Hierusalem to worship:
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 And as he returned sitting in his charet, he read Esaias the Prophet.
Wakati ikerebhuka atamili mu ligari lyamuene isoma chuo kya nabii Isaya.
29 Then the Spirit said vnto Philip, Goe neere and ioyne thy selfe to yonder charet.
Roho akajobha ni Filipo, “Hegelelayi karibu ni ligari e'le ukakamulana nalu.
30 And Philip ranne thither, and heard him reade the Prophet Esaias, and said, But vnderstandest thou what thou readest?
“Efyo Filipo akalota mbio, akampeleka isoma mu chuo kya nabii Isaya; akajobha, umanyili kya wisoma?”
31 And he saide, Howe can I, except I had a guide? And he desired Philip, that he would come vp and sit with him.
Muethiopia akajobha, “nibebhwesya bhuli munu kama andongwisi lepi?” Akan'sihi Filipo akwela mu ligari ni kutama pamonga ni muene.
32 Nowe the place of the Scripture which he read, was this, Hee was lead as a sheepe to the slaughter: and like a lambe domme before his shearer, so opened he 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 humilitie his iudgement hath bene exalted: but 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 Then the Eunuche answered Philippe, and saide, I pray thee of whome speaketh the Prophet this? of himselfe, or of some other man?
Hivyo towashi akan'kota Filipo, ni kujobha, “nikus'oka, nabii jholeku ilongelibhwa habari sya muene, ni kuhusu muene au sya munu jhongi”?
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same Scripture, and preached vnto him Iesus.
Filipo ajhandikulongela, abhwanji kwa andiko e'le lya Isaya kun'hubirira habari sya Yesu.
36 And as they went on their way, they came vnto a certaine water, and the Eunuche said, See, here is water: what doeth let me to be baptized?
Bhobhajhe munjela, bhakafika pa masi,' towashi akajobha, “Langayi, pajheni masi apa kheleku kizuila nisibatisibhu?”
37 And Philippe said vnto him, If thou beleeuest with all thine heart, thou mayest. Then he answered, and saide, I beleeue that that Iesus Christ is that Sonne of God.
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 Then he commanded the charet to stand stil: and they went downe both into the water, both Philip and the Eunuche, and he baptized him.
Bhakalota mugati mu masi, pamonga ni Filipo ni towashi, Filipoakambatisya.
39 And assoone as they were come vp out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the Eunuche sawe him no more: so he went on his way reioycing.
Wakati bhofobhwiki mu masi, Roho ghwa Bwana jhampeliki Filipo patali; tawashi ambwene lepi, akalota njela jha muene khoni ishangilila.
40 But Philippe was found at Azotus, and he walked to and from preaching in all the cities, till he came to Cesarea.
Lakini Filipo akahomela Azoto. Apetili mu mkoa bhola ni kuhubiri injili mu miji ghioha mpaka bho afikili Kaisaria.
