Acts 16
1 And he came to Derbe and Lystra, and behold, a certain disciple was there, by name Timotheus, son of a certain woman, a believing Jewess, but of a father, a Greek,
Paulu kaziti Deribi na Listira, kweni katamiti mfundwa yumu yawamshema Timotewu. Mawu gwakuwi mweni vira kaweriti ntundami, kaweriti Myawudi, kumbiti tati gwakuwi kaweriti mgiriki.
2 who was well testified to by the brothers in Lystra and Iconium;
Timotewu kaweriti na nzyumi ngulu pakati pa walii walongu wa Listira na Ikoniu.
3 Paul wished this one to go forth with him, and having taken [him], he circumcised him, because of the Jews who are in those places, for they all knew his father—that he was a Greek.
Paulu kafiriti Timotewu kalikoli na yomberi mumwanja, hangu kamyingiziyiti jandu. Katenditi hangu toziya Wayawudi woseri watamiti seemu ayi wavimaniti handa tati gwakuwi Timotewu kaweriti Mgiriki.
4 And as they were going on through the cities, they were delivering to them the decrees to keep, that have been judged by the apostles and the elders who [are] in Jerusalem,
Pawaweriti wankuwuya mlushi zilii wawapananiti wantu malagaliru galii gagalaviyitwi na wantumintumi na wazewi kulii Yerusalemu, wawagambira wantu wagajimiri.
5 then, indeed, were the assemblies established in the faith, and were abounding in number every day;
Su shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu shiziditi kugangamala munjimiru na shiyongerekiti nentu kila lishaka.
6 and having gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,
Wawuyiriti Seemu za Firigiya na Galatiya toziya Rohu Mnanagala kawaluusu ndiri kubwera ujumbi awu kumkoa gwa Asiya.
7 having gone toward Mysia, they were trying to go on toward Bithynia, and the Spirit did not permit them,
Pawayiziti mumbaka zya Misiya, wajeriti kwingira kumkoa Bituniya, kumbiti Rohu gwa Yesu kawaluusu ndiri.
8 and having passed by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
Su, wapitiriti Misiya, wagenda longulongu mpaka Trowa.
9 And a vision through the night appeared to Paul—a certain man of Macedonia was standing, calling on him, and saying, “Having passed through to Macedonia, help us.”
Pashiru panu. Paulu kawoniti maonu geni kamwoniti muntu yumu gwa Makedoniya kagoloka palii na kumluwa, “Guloki, gwizi Makedoniya gwakatutangatiri.”
10 And when he saw the vision, immediately we endeavored to go forth to Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the LORD has called us to preach good news to them,
Katepu pa Paulu kuwona maonu aga, tulitanditi kugenda Makedoniya pota kusherewa, tuwera na nakaka handa Mlungu katushema tuwabweleri shisoweru shiwagira.
11 having set sail, therefore, from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, on the next day also to Neapolis,
Kulawa Trowa, twamwanja longulongu mpaka Samotiraki na Shirawu yakuwi tusulusiya nanga Neopoli.
12 there also to Philippi, which is a principal city of the part of Macedonia—a colony. And we were abiding in this city some days;
Kulawa aku, tugenditi mpaka Filipi, Lushi lya Wilaya ya kwanja ya Makedoniya, na weni viraa ndo Koloni lya Warumi. Tutamiti mulushi alu mashaka gamu.
13 on the day of the Sabbaths we also went forth outside of the city, by a river, where there used to be prayer, and having sat down, we were speaking to the women who came together,
Lishaka lya kwoyera tulawiti kunja ku Lushi, tugenda mmbeku ya lushemba lweni tulihola kuwera ndo pahala pa kuluwa Mlungu. Tulikaliti, tuyowera na wadala wajojinikiti pahala panu.
14 and a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, worshiping God, was hearing, whose heart the LORD opened to attend to the things spoken by Paul;
Muwamu wa walii yawatupikiniriti kaweriti mdala yumu mguwira Mlungu yawamshema Lidiya mwenikaya gwa Tuatira, mweni kaweriti kankuwuza nguwu za shitani za langi ya zambalawu. Mtuwa kavuguliti moyu gwakuwi ata kaviyanga visoweru vilii Paulu vyakaweriti katakula.
15 and when she was immersed, and her household, she called on us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the LORD, having entered into my house, remain”; and she constrained us.
Shakapanu yomberi pamuhera na wantu wa numba yakuwi wabatizwa. Na yomberi katuluwa pakatakula, “Payiwera mjimira nakaka handa numjimira Mtuwa, mwizi ukaya kwaneni mlikali.” Katuhimiziya tugendi.
16 And it came to pass in our going on to prayer, a certain maid, having a spirit of Python, met us, who brought much employment to her masters by soothsaying;
Lishaka limu, patuweriti twankugenda pahali pa kuluwa Mlungu, mhinja yumu yakaweriti na wamshera wana likakala lwa kutunga kaliwoniti na twenga Mhinja ayu kaweriti kankuwapanana watuwa wakuwi mpiya zitangala kwa kutunga gwakuwi.
17 she having followed Paul and us, was crying, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who declare to us [the] way of salvation!”
Su, muhinga ayu kamwiziriti Paulu na twenga, kabotanga na kutakula, “Wantu awa ndo wantumintumi wa Mlungu Mkulu. Wankuwabwelera njira ya ulopoziya.”
18 And this she was doing for many days, but Paul having been grieved, and having turned, said to the spirit, “I command you, in the Name of Jesus Christ, to come forth from her”; and it came forth the same hour.
Kaweri kankutenda hangu kwa mashaka gatangala ata lishaka limu Paulu kakalariti, kamgalambukira na kumgambira shamshera ayu, “Nukugambira kwa litawu lya Yesu Kristu, gumlawi ayu!” Palaa palii shamshera kamlawa.
19 And her masters having seen that the hope of their employment was gone, having caught Paul and Silas, drew [them] into the marketplace, to the rulers,
Su watuwa wa muhinga ulii pawawoniti kuwera litumbiru lwawu lya kupata mpiya lipera, wawakamuliti Paulu na Sila, wawakwega mpaka paweru, kuulongolu kwa wakulu.
20 and having brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men being Jews exceedingly trouble our city;
Wasitaki kwa watoza pawatakula, “wantu awa ndo Wayawudi na watenda fuju mulushi lwetu.
21 and they proclaim customs that are not lawful for us to receive nor to do, being Romans.”
Wankufunda shitiba sheni twenga wenikaya wa Rumi tuluusiwa ndiri kushijimira pota kushifuta.”
22 And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates having torn their garments from them, were commanding to beat [them] with rods,
Shipinga sha wantu shingiriti na womberi, shiwakomanga. Na watoza walii wawavula nguwa zawu kwa likakala, wahimiziya wasyatangwi viboku.
23 having also laid on them many blows, they cast them into prison, having given charge to the jailor to keep them safely,
Pakukomwa nentu watatirwa mnumba, na njagira gwa shibetubetu kahimiziwa kuwatula pasi pa ulolera mkulu.
24 who having received such a charge, put them into the inner prison, and fastened their feet in the stocks.
Kulawirana na malagaliru aga, mnjagira ayu kawatuliti mushumba kati nakamu sha shibetubetu na kugatawa magulu gawu mushibawu.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were hearing them,
Pakakwegera na pashiru ligonu Paulu na Sila waweriti wankumluwa Mlungu na kuyimba nyimbu za kumzyuma Mlungu, aku watatirwa wamonga wawera wankupikanira.
26 and suddenly a great earthquake came, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, also all the doors were immediately opened, and of all—the bands were loosed;
Vumu, kulawiriti lilendemeru likulu lya litapaka libegiziya liyanjiru lya shibetubetu. Su, milyangu yoseri ivuguka na minyololu yayiwatawiti watatirwa awa ilekana.
27 and the jailor having come out of sleep, and having seen the doors of the prison open, having drawn a sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to have fled,
Mlolera gwa shibetubetu pakayumukiti na kuyiwona milyangu ya shibetubetu ivugulwa, kaliholiti handa watatirwa woseri waweriti watoloka, na hangu kausomola upanga wakuwi, kafiriti kulilaga.
28 and Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, “You may not do yourself any harm, for we are all here!”
Kumbiti Paulu kashema kwa liziwu likulu, “Kotukulitenda gwamweni toziya twenga twawoseri twa panu.”
29 And having asked for a light, he sprang in, and he fell down before Paul and Silas trembling,
Pakamshemiti kala muntu kajegi limuliku, mnjagira gwa shibetubetu katugiriti mnumba, kaliyasa paulongolu pa magulu ga Paulu na Sila agawu kankulendemera kwa lyoga.
30 and having brought them forth, said, “Lords, what must I do that I may be saved?”
Shakapanu kawalonguziya kunja, kawakosiya, “Mwatuwa, ndendi shishi mbati kulopoziwa?”
31 And they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved—you and your household.”
Womberi wamwankula, “Gumjimiri Mtuwa Yesu na gwenga hagulopoziwi pamuhera na kaya yaku yoseri.”
32 And they spoke to him the word of the LORD, and to all those in his household;
Su, wamubweleriti shisoweru sha Mtuwa yomberi pamhera na walongu wakuwi.
33 and having taken them, in that hour of the night, he bathed [them] from the blows, and immediately he and all of his were immersed,
Mnjagira ulii kawatoliti saa iraa ilii ya pashiru kawagulula vironda vyawu, shakapanu yomberi na walongu wakuwi woseri kawabatiza pala palii.
34 having also brought them into his house, he set food before [them], and was glad with all the household, he having believed in God.
Shakapanu kawatola Paula na Sila ukaya kwakuwi, kawayupa shiboga. Yomberi na walongu wakuwi woseri watenda shereku toziya vinu waweriti wamjimira Mlungu.
35 And day having come, the magistrates sent the rod-bearers, saying, “Let those men go”;
Shirawu yakuwi mandawira, watoza wawatumiti maafisa wawu pawalonga, “muwavuguliri wantu walii.”
36 and the jailor told these words to Paul, “The magistrates have sent, that you may be let go; now, therefore, having gone forth go on in peace”;
Mjagira ulii gwa shibetubetu kamupananiti shisoweru Paulu, “Watoza watumiti ujumbi su mvugulilwi. Vinu muweza kulawa na kugenda zenu kwa ponga.”
37 and Paul said to them, “Having beaten us publicly uncondemned—men, being Romans—they cast [us] to prison, and now privately they cast us forth! Why no! But having come themselves, let them bring us forth.”
Kumbiti Paulu kamwakuliti. “Eti shishi? Tembera tuweriti ndiri na likosa, watusyatangiti viboku paweru twenga ndo wana lushi wa Rumi. Kayi, watuyingiziyiti mnumba na vinu wafira kutuvugulira kwa bada! Ata padidini! Ndo mpaka weni wayizi panu watuvuguliri.”
38 And the rod-bearers told these sayings to the magistrates, and they were afraid, having heard that they are Romans,
Maafisa awa wawagambiriti visoweru watoza kuusu shitwatira ashi, naomberi pawapikaniriti handa Paulu na Sila waweriti weni kaya wa Rumi, watiriti.
39 and having come, they implored them, and having brought [them] forth, they were asking [them] to go forth from the city;
Hangu, wagenditi kuwaluwa na pawawalaviiti kala mnumba wawaluwiti wawuki mulushi lulii.
40 and they, having gone forth out of the prison, entered into [the house of] Lydia, and having seen the brothers, they comforted them, and went forth.
Paulu na Sila walawiti mushibetubetu, wagenditi ukaya kwa Lidiya. Aku waliwoniti na shipinga sha waumini na pawawagambiriti kala visoweru vya kuwayupa moyu wawuka.
