Acts 8
1 And Saul was assenting to his death, and there came in that day a great persecution on the Assembly in Jerusalem, all were also scattered abroad in the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles;
Saule avena mukuzuminzana ni ifu lya kwe. Imi kuzwa yelyo izuva chikwazwa kunyandiswa ahulu kwe kerenke ivena mwa Jerusalema; imi vavazumini vose vava hasa neri muzi vaka za Judeya ni Samariya, mbwita vulyo va apositola.
2 and devout men carried Stephen away, and made great lamentation over him;
Vakwame vavazumini ni kusepahala vava ziki Sitefani ni kumulira ahulu.
3 and Saul was making havoc of the Assembly, entering into every house, and dragging away men and women, giving them up to prison;
Kono Saule ava nyandisi ahulu inkerenke; ava kuyenda mwi nzuvo ni nzuvo ni kuzwisa mo vakwame ni vanakazi, ni kuba vika mutorongo.
4 they then indeed, having been scattered, went abroad proclaiming good news—the word.
Kono vava zumini vavali kuhasane chiva yenda ni va kutaza linzwi.
5 And Philip having gone down to a city of Samaria, was preaching the Christ to them;
Filipi ava yendi kumuleñi wa Samariya ni kuka kutaza kuvali za Keresite.
6 the multitudes were also giving heed to the things spoken by Philip, with one accord, in their hearing and seeing the signs that he was doing,
Chinavungi chavantu havazuwa ni kuvona zisupo zava pangi Filipi, vava tekerezi ahulu hamwina kuza vali kuwamba.
7 for unclean spirits came forth from many who were possessed, crying with a loud voice, and many who have been paralytic and lame were healed,
Imi ku vantu vangi vava zizuwi, ihuho zisa chenete zibazwi hanze cho muhuwo mukando; ni vangi vava zuminine luñañali ni ziyanga vonse vava hozwa.
8 and there was great joy in that city.
Mi kuvena ahulu kusangwa muwuna muleneñi.
9 And a certain man, by name Simon, was previously in the city using magic, and amazing the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be a certain great one,
Kono kuvena mukwame zumwi mowu muleneñi yavali kusupwa Simoni, uzo yavali kupanganga mabivo kumatangiro; avali ku komasanga ahulu vantu va mwa Samariya, lyinu avali kulihinda kuva muntu yo tompeha.
10 to whom they were all giving heed, from small to great, saying, “This one is the great power of God”;
Vonse vena Samariya, kuzwa kumunini ni kumukando, vavali kumuteka ahulu; vava wambi, “Uzu mukwame je ziho ze Ireeza zi supwa vukando”.
11 and they were giving heed to him, because of his having amazed them for a long time with deeds of magic.
Vava tekereze kwali, kakuti avali kuva komosa ahulu che nako inde ni mavivo a kwe.
12 And when they believed Philip, proclaiming good news, the things concerning the Kingdom of God and the Name of Jesus Christ, they were immersed—both men and women;
Kono aho hachi vazumine izo zavava kutazi Filipi kuyamana ni evangeli yo muvuso we Ireeza ni zina lya Jesu keresite, vava kolovezwa, vonse vanakazi ni vakwame.
13 and Simon himself also believed, and having been immersed, he was continuing with Philip, beholding also signs and mighty acts being done, he was amazed.
Imi ni Simoni naye vulyo ava zumini: hacha mana ku kolovezwa, cha zwira havusu ni va ni Filipi; hacha vona imakazo ni mitendo ni ipangiwa, ava komokiswa ahulu.
14 And the apostles in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria has received the word of God, sent Peter and John to them,
Linu haveza kuzuwa va apositola mwa Jerusalema kuti vena Samariya vava tambuli linzwi lye Ireeza, chiva tumina kuvali Pitorosi ni Johani.
15 who having come down prayed concerning them, that they may receive the Holy Spirit—
Hachiva shetumukere kuvali, chiveza kuva laperera, kuti vawole ku tambula Luhuho Lunjolola.
16 for as yet He was fallen on none of them, and only they have been immersed—into the Name of the Lord Jesus;
Kakuti bwita heyo inako, Luhuho Lunjolola kena luveni kukeza hewulu lyavo; vavali kukolovezwe vulyo mwi zina lya Simwine Jesu.
17 then they were laying hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Linu Pitorosi ni Johani chiva vavika mayaza avo hewulu lyavo, mi chiva tambula Luhuho Lunjolola.
18 And Simon, having beheld that through the laying on of the hands of the apostles the Holy Spirit is given, brought money before them,
Linu Simoni hacha vona kuti Luhuho Lunjolola luva hewa cho kuvikiwa cho kuvikiwa cha' mayaza, ava apositola chava newira ishereñi.
19 saying, “Give also to me this authority, that on whomsoever I may lay the hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.”
Cha wamba, “Munihe izi ziho, name, iri kuti yense uni kambika manyanza hali a tambule Luhuho lunjolola.”
20 And Peter said to him, “Your silver with you—may it be to destruction! Because you thought to possess the gift of God through money;
Kono Pitorosi chata kwali, “I silivera yanko i sinyehe nawe, kakuti u hupula kuwana impo ze Ireeza cha mashereñi.
21 you have neither part nor lot in this thing, for your heart is not right before God;
kawina chiyemba chimwi mwezi zintu, kakuti inkulo yanko kayina hande ni Ireeza.
22 convert, therefore, from this your wickedness, and implore God, if then the purpose of your heart may be forgiven you,
Cwale he uvake kovu vuvi bwako, mi ulapere kwa Simwine, iri kuti mwendi mwa wondere kumi nahano ye nkulo yanko.
23 for in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness, I perceive you being.”
Kakuti ni kubwene kuti wina chifanu chovu vengi ni mumawenge e chivi.
24 And Simon answering, said, “Implore for me to the LORD, that nothing may come on me of the things you have spoken.”
Simoni cha mwitava ni kumuti, “Uni laperere kwa Simwine, iri kuti zonse zintu ziwa wamba kanji zipangahali kwangu.”
25 They indeed, therefore, having testified fully, and spoken the word of the LORD, turned back to Jerusalem; they also proclaimed good news in many villages of the Samaritans.
Aho Pitorosi ni Johani haci vamana kuwamba linzwi lya Simwine, chiva vola kwa Jerusalema; mwinzira, vavali kukutaza evangeri muminzi mingi ya mwa Samariya.
26 And a messenger of the LORD spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise, and go on toward the south, on the way that is going down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This is desolate.)
Hanu iñiroyi lya Simwine chiya wamba kwa Filipi ni kuti, “Katuke ni kuyenda kwa mbowera kwi nzira iya kuku shetumukera kuzwa kwa Jerusalema kuya kwa Gaza.”( Iyi nzira ina mwi halaupa.)
27 And having arisen, he went on, and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a man of rank, of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship;
Ava katuki ni kuyenda. Muvone, kuvena mukwame youzwa kwa Etopiya, chikombwa cho muyendisi mukando Candesi, mulena wa Etopiya. Avali muvavaleli we chifumu chakwe chose. Avali kwizite kwa Jerusalema kuku lapera.
28 he was also returning, and is sitting on his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
Chavali kuvola mi ave kere mwi kochikara ya kwe, mi avali kuya vuvala mwi vuka yo muporofita Isaya.
29 And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near, and be joined to this chariot”;
Luhuho chilwa ti kwa Filipi, “Yende kwali mi wi kale hafuhi ni kochikara yakwe.”
30 and Philip having run near, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah and said, “Do you then know what you read?”
Linu Filipi cha tilira kwali, ni kumuzuwa na vala Isaya muporofita, ni kuti, “Mane uzuwisisa cho kwete kuvala?”
31 And he said, “Why, how am I able, if someone may not guide me?” He called Philip also, having come up, to sit with him.
Mu Esopiya chati, “Niwola vule, mwendi zumwi ani tondeze?”Ava kumbiri Filipi kwiza kwi chira naye mwi kochikara ni kwi kala naye.
32 And the passage of the Writing that he was reading was this: “He was led as a sheep to slaughter, And as a lamb before his shearer is silent, So He does not open His mouth;
Linu vuvali vwe ñolo lyavali kuya vuvala mu Esopiya avali ili, “Avali twaliwa uvu imberere kukwi hayiwa; mi uvu imbere havusu i totwere havusu bwa fumwayo, ka zasumuni kaholo kakwe:
33 In His humiliation His judgment was taken away, And His generation—who will declare? Because His life is taken from the earth.”
muma sukuluko a kwe i katulo yakwe iva zwiswa kwali: Jeni yata wambe lusika lwakwe? vuhalo bwakwe vuva hindwa hansi.”
34 And the eunuch answering Philip said, “I beg you, about whom does the prophet say this? About himself, or about some other one?”
Linu mu Enuki cha vuza Filipi, “Ni kukumbira, jini yavali kuwamba muporofita? avali kuwamba iye mwine, kamba avali kuwamba zumwi muntu?”
35 And Philip having opened his mouth, and having begun from this Writing, proclaimed good news to him—Jesus.
Filipi cha tanga kuwamba; ava tangi neli iñolo mwa Isaya kukutaza kuyamana ni Jesu kwa li.
36 And as they were going on the way, they came on some water, and the eunuch said, “Behold, water; what hinders me to be immersed?”
Sina ha vavali kuya vuyenda munzira, vava kezi ha menzi; mu Enuki chati, “Vone, hena menzi hanu; chizi chini kanina kuku kolovezwa?”
37 [[And Philip said, “If you believe out of all the heart, it is lawful”; and he answering said, “I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God”; ]]
Linu mu Etopiya cha laya i kochikara ku zimana.
38 and he commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he immersed him;
Chiva yenda hasi mumezi, bonse Filipi ni muenuki, imi Filipi cha mukoloveza.
39 and when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the LORD snatched up Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more, for he was going on his way rejoicing;
Hava zuvuka hanze ya menzi, Luhuho lwa Simwine chi lwa hinda Filipi; mu enuki kena ava muvoni hape, mi ava yendi mwi nzira yakwe na sangitwe.
40 and Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through, he was proclaiming good news to all the cities, until his coming to Caesarea.
Kono Filipi ava ka voneki kwa Azotusi. A vakayendi mwe zina zikiriti ni kukutaza Ivangeri kumi leneñi yonse, mbwita hakasika kwa Caseriya.
