Acts 8
1 And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the Assembly which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judæa and Samaria, except the apostles.
Na bhalabho a shauli bhaapali ilikwaanonyela ga bhulagwa kwa a Shitepano. Lyene lyubhalyo bhandunji bha a Nnungu bha pa Yelushalemu gubhatandubhenje kupotekwa kwa kaje. Bhaakagula bhowe gubhapwilingenenje kwenda mwilambo ya ku Shamalia na ku Yudea, ikabhe ashimitume.
2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
Bhandunji bhakwapingannga a Nnungu gubhaashishilenje a Shitepano na gubhaatendelenje malilo gamakulungwa.
3 As for Saul, he made havock of the Assembly, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
Gene mobhapego, a Shauli gubhatumbilile kwaabhulaganga bhandu bhakwaakulupalilanga a Yeshu. Bhatendaga jinjila kila nyumba, nikwaakopoyanga palanga bhaakulupalila bhanabhalume na bhanabhakongwe nikwaugalilanga nnigelesha.
4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word.
Bhaakagula bhapwilingenenje bhala gubhapitenje ako na koko bhalipita lunguyanga lilobhe lila.
5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
Na a Pilipi gubhajinjile nshilambo sha Shamalia bhalipita kwalunguya a Kilishitu ku bhashilambo bha kweneko.
6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
Bhandunji bhakaibhonanjeje ilapo ibhaitendaga a Pilipi, gubhapilikanishiyenje ntenga kwa ntima ndende.
7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
Pabha maoka gatendaga kwaashokangana bhandunji bhabhagwinji akuno galijobhela. Nneila peila bhandunji bhabhagwinji bhapolokenje ibhalo na bhaalemalanga bhatendaga lamiywanga.
8 And there was great joy in that city.
Bhandunji bha shene shilambo shila gubhainonyelenje kwa kaje.
9 But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
Bhai, bhashinkupagwa bhandu bhamo bhashemwaga a Shimoni bhatenda kwiiniya kwa ikubho yabho ya shiabhi na bhandu bha ku Shamalia bhatendaga kwaakanganigwanga.
10 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
Bhandunji bhowe, bhana na bhakungulungwanji gubhaapilikanishiyenje ukoto, gubhashitenje, “A Shimonibha bhashikola mashili ga a Nnungu gashemwaga, ‘Mashili Makulu.’”
11 And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
Gubhaakulupalilenje kwa kaje, pabha kwa mobha gamagwinji bhatendaga tenda ilapo kwa uabhi gwabho.
12 But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
Ikabheje bhakakulupalilanjeje ntenga gwa a Pilipi gwa Ngani ja Mmbone ja Ukulungwa gwa a Nnungu na lina lya a Yeshu Kilishitu, gubhabhatishwenje, bhanabhakongwe na bhanabhalume.
13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
Nkali a Shimoni gubhakulupalile, bhakabhatishweje gubhatendile shilongani na a Pilipi, gubhakanganigwe ga ilapo yaatendekaga.
14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
Mitume bhalinginji ku Yelushalemu bhakapilikananjeje kuti Bhashamalia na bhalabhonji bhaliposhelenje lilobhe lya a Nnungu, gubhaatumilenje kweneko a Petili na a Yowana.
15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
Bhakaikanganjeje gubhaajujilenje a Nnungu nkupinga bhaakulupalila bhamposhelanje Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo,
16 ( For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
pabha gene mobhago Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo paaliji akanabhe kuntulushila mundu jojowe munkumbi gwabhonji, ikabheje bhashinkubhatishwangape kwa lina lya Bhakulungwa a Yeshu.
17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
Bhai, a Petili na a Yowana gubhaabhishilenje makono bhaakulupalila bhala, gubhamposhelenje Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.
18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
Bhai, a Shimoni bhakabhoneje kuti mundu abhishilwaga makono na mitume bhala, anaposhela Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, gubhapinjile kwaapanganga ela a Petili na a Yowana bhalinkuti,
19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
“Mmbanganje na nne gene mashiligo, nkupinga nimmishilaga mundu makono, amposhele Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.”
20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
Ikabheje a Petili gubhaajangwile, “Nkaobhele ako na ela yenuyo, punkuganishaya mashili ga a Nnungu gaumwa na ela!
21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
Mmwe mwangali shakamula kwa ali liengoli, pabha ntima gwenu gwangali gwa mmbone kwa a Nnungu.
22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
Kwa nneyo mwiipete yangali ya mmbone yenui na mwaajuje Bhakulungwa ipingaga, bhalabho shibhanneshelele ng'aniyo yenuyo.
23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
Pabha ngunakummona lushikungumbala lupimilo lwa kaje na punnipa mmabhanda bha ilebho.”
24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.
A Shimoni gubhajangwile, “Shonde, nnyujilanje ku Bhakulungwa linambate lyolyowe lya gene gunnugwilenjego.”
25 And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
A Petili na a Yowana bhakakong'ondelanjeje na lunguya ga Ngani ja Bhakulungwa, gubhabhujilenje ku Yelushalemu. Gwa mmabhuja gubhalunguyenje Ngani ja Mmbone mwijiji yaigwinji ya ku Shamalia.
26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
Malaika jwa Bhakulungwa gwabhalugulile a Pilipi, “Mpanganishe nnjende mmbali ja kwibhanda kupitila mpanda gwa anga ukopoka ku Yelushalemu kwenda ku Gasha.”
27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
Bhai a Pilipi gubhatandwibhe mwanja. Gubhammweni mundu jumo jwa ku Eshiopia, nkulungwa jwa shibhiko sha a Kandate malikia bha ku Eshiopia. Bhashinkwenda ku Yelushalemu kukwatindibhalila a Nnungu na penepo bhatendaga bhuja bhali bhakwelile mutuka ja kwakwatwa.
28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Isaiah the prophet.
Bhali mmwanja bhatendaga kwishomela shitabhu sha a Ishaya ankulondola bha a Nnungu.
29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
Bhai, Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo gwabhabhalanjile a Pilipi, “Nnjende tome na mutuka jila nkalongane najo.”
30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Isaiah, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
A Pilipi gubhabhutushile tome na mutuka jila, gubhampilikene mundu jula alishoma shitabhu sha a Ishaya ankulondola bha a Nnungu. A Pilipi gubhaabhushiye, “Bhuli, nnikwimanya inkushomayo?”
31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
Bhandu bhala gubhajangwile, “Ngombole kwapi kwiimanya gwangali mundu jwa ndalashiya?” Penepo gubhaashemile a Pilipi bhakwele mmutuka mula bhatame nabho.
32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
Na Majandiko ga Ukonjelo gubhashomaga pugaliji nnei, “Paliji mbuti ngondolo apelekwa kuingwa, eu mbuti mwana ngondolo atama ilili alimogwa mang'omba, jwangakopoya lilobhe lyakwe wala kashoko.
33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
Ashinkutokomaywa na bhonelwa. Jwakwa shakombole kutagulila ga lubheleko lwakwe, pabha gumi gwakwe ushishoywa pashilambolyo.”
34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
Bhaeshiopia bhala bhakwaalugulilaga a Pilipi, “Nnugulile, jwene nkulondola jwa a Nnunguju abheleketa ngani jikeni? Gene gabheleketaga gakwe nnyene eu gaka mundu juna?”
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
Bhai, a Pilipi gubhatandwibhe na gene Majandiko ga Ukonjelogo, gubhaatalashiye Ngani ja Mmbone ja a Yeshu.
36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
Bhalinginji mmwanja, gubhaikenenje palitanda, mundu jula gwashite, “Apano gapali mashi, bhuli shipali shoshowe shang'ibhilila ngunabhatishwe?”
37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
A Pilipi gubhashite, “Ibhaga nkulupalilaga kwa ntima gwenu gowe inatendeka kubhatishwa.” Nabhalabho gubhajangwile, “Elo ngunakulupalila kuti a Yeshu Kilishitu ni bhanabhabho a Nnungu.”
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
Bhai gubhaamulishe mutuka jila jijime. Bhaeshiopia bhala na a Pilipi gubhapitengenenje mmashi mula, a Pilipi gubhaabhatishe.
39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
Bhakakopokanganeje mmashi mula Mbumu jwa Bhakulungwa akwaanyakulaga a Pilipi. Bhaeshiopia bhala bhangaabhona kabhili a Pilipi, ikabheje gubhapite na mwanja gwabho bhalikwinonyela.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Cæsarea.
A Pilipi gubhaimushile bhali ku Ashoto, gubhapitile mwilambo yowe bhalilunguya Ngani ja Mmbone mpaka ku Kaishalia.
