Acts 9
1 And Saul, yet breathing of threatening and slaughter to the disciples of the LORD, having gone to the chief priest,
Kono Saule, usiwamba zokutiza ni kwihaya balutwana ba Simwine, cha yenda ku mupurisita mukulwana
2 asked from him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues, that if he may find any being of The Way, both men and women, he may bring them bound to Jerusalem.
ni kuka kumbila mañolo ama Sinagoge mwa Damaseka, ili kuti chawana babakuwila mweyo inzila, kapa mukwame kapa mwanakazi, pona chokabaleta niba suminwe kwa Jerusalema.
3 And in the going, he came near to Damascus, and suddenly there shone around him a light from Heaven,
Haba kukabuyenda, kuba tendahali kuti heza kusika hembali ni Damaseka, hahobulyo chikweza kuboneka iseli lingi libakuzwa mwiwulu;
4 and having fallen on the earth, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?”
mi chawila hansi ni kuzuwa linzwi liwamba kwali, “Saule, Saule, chinzi ho ni nyandisa?
5 And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” And the LORD said, “I am Jesus whom you persecute; [[hard for you to kick at the goads”;
Saule chetaba, “njewe ni, Simwine?” Simwine chati, “Njeme Jesu yokwete kunyandisa;
6 trembling also, and astonished, he said, “Lord, what do You wish me to do?” And the LORD [said] to him, ]] “Arise, and enter into the city, and it will be told [to] you what you must do.”
kono zime, winjile mu muleneñi, mi mowambilwe zo swanela kutenda.”
7 And the men who are journeying with him stood speechless, indeed hearing the voice but seeing no one,
Bakwame baba kuyenda ni Saule chiba zima nikubula maanzwi, ni bazuwile linzwi, kono ni basabwene muntu.
8 and Saul arose from the earth, and his eyes having been opened, he beheld no one, and leading him by the hand they brought him to Damascus,
Saule chabuka hansi, mi heyalula menso akwe, kakwina chabakubona; chiba mukwata kwiyanza niku muleta mwa Damaseka.
9 and he was three days without seeing, and he neither ate nor drank.
Abahindi mazuba otatwe nasaboni, mi kena aba kulya ni kunywa.
10 And there was a certain disciple in Damascus, by name Ananias, and the LORD said to him in a vision, “Ananias”; and he said, “Behold me, Lord”;
Linu Kubena mulutwana mwa Damaseka yaba kusumpwa Aneniyas; mi Simwine aba wambi kwali chempono, “Aneniyasi.” cha wamba, “Bone, ime zunu, Simwine.”
11 and the LORD [says] to him, “Having risen, go on to the street that is called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas, [one] by name Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he prays,
Simwine cha wamba kwali, “Zime, uyende mwi kululu lisumpwa Kuotoloka, mi kwi nzubo ya Judasi buze mukwame yozwa kwa Tarese yosumpwa Saule; yokwete kulapela;
12 and he saw in a vision a man, by name Ananias, coming in, and putting a hand on him, that he may see again.”
mi ababoni impono mukwame yaba ku sumpwa Ananiyasi nakeza kwali kwiza kumubika maanza, ilikuti atambule kubona kwakwe.”
13 And Ananias answered, “LORD, I have heard from many about this man, how many evils he did to Your holy ones in Jerusalem,
Kono Ananiyasi chetaba, “Simwine, ni bazuwi kubangi kuamana nozu mukwame, inkolofalo isika hayi yabatendi kubantu bako bajolola mwa Jerusalema.
14 and here he has authority from the chief priests, to bind all those calling on Your Name.”
Wina maata azwa ku mukulwana wa maprisita ku sumina bonse kunu ba sumpa he zina lyako.”
15 And the LORD said to him, “Go, because this one is a chosen vessel to Me, to carry My Name before nations and kings—also the sons of Israel;
Kono Simwine chawamba kwali, “Yende, mi uzu uketetwe kuba chisebeliso changu, kuhinda izina lyangu habusu bwa chisi chingi ni malena ni bana ba Isilaele;
16 for I will show him how many things he must suffer for My Name.”
mi kani mutondeze mwete a sukulukile chebaka lye zina lwangu.”
17 And Ananias went away, and entered into the house, and having put on him [his] hands, said, “Saul, brother, the LORD has sent me—Jesus who appeared to you in the way in which you were coming—that you may see again, and may be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
Cwale Ananiyasi chayenda, ni kwinjila munzuvo. Kuka muvika maanza hakwe, chati, “Mukwangu Saule, Simwine Jesu, yaba boneki kwako he nzila hamuba kukeza, wakanituma ili kuti zo tambule kubona kwako mi wizule luho lu jolola.”
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales, he also saw again instantly, and having risen, was immersed,
Hahobulyo zintu zikola maamba zibawi mumenso a Saule, mi chatambula kubona kwakwe, aba zimi ni kukolobezwa;
19 and having received nourishment, was strengthened, and Saul was with the disciples in Damascus certain days,
abali nikuwana ziho. Abekali ni balutwana mwa Damaseka chamazuba alikene.
20 and immediately he was preaching the Christ in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God.
Haho chaha bupaki bwa Jesu muma Sinagoge, nata kuti uzo mwana wa Ireeza.
21 And all those hearing were amazed and said, “Is this not he who laid waste in Jerusalem those calling on this Name, and here to this intent had come, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?”
Bonse baba zuwi baba komokwa ni kuwamba, “kanjiyena uzu mukwame yaba sinyi abo mwa Jerusalema baba kusumpa heli zina? mi abakezi kunu ili kuti abalete zeba suminwe kumu kulwana wa maprisita.”
22 And Saul was still more strengthened, and he was confounding the Jews dwelling in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
Kono Saule abezi kwinjihilwa ziho, aba leti filikana mukati ka ma Juda baba kuhala mwa Damaseka chakutondeza kuti Jesu nji Keresite.
23 And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him,
Hakuhita mazuba mangi, ma Juda chibalela hamwina kuti bamwihaye.
24 and their counsel against [him] was known to Saul; they were also watching the gates both day and night, that they may kill him,
Kono mulelo wabo chiwezibeka kwa Saule. Baba kugantela milyango musihali ni masiku ilikuti bamwihaye.
25 and the disciples having taken him, by night let him down by the wall, letting down in a basket.
Kono balutwana bakwe baba muhindi masiku kumushilsa imota, shetumwina muchitanda.
26 And Saul, having come to Jerusalem, tried to join himself to the disciples, and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he is a disciple,
Hakeza kusika mwa Jerusalema, Saule abaliki kukopana ni balutwana, kono bonse baba kumutiya, nibasa zumina kuti mulutwana.
27 and Barnabas having taken him, brought [him] to the apostles, and declared to them how he saw the LORD in the way, and that He spoke to him, and how in Damascus he was speaking boldly in the Name of Jesus.
Kono Barnabasi abamuhindi ni kumutwala ku bapositola. Mi Chaba wambila mwaba boneni Saule Simwine he nzila ni kuti kuti Simwine aba wambi naye, ni kwaDamaseka Saule mwa bakutazi chakusatiya mwizina lya Jesu.
28 And he was with them, coming in and going out in Jerusalem,
Aba kopani nabo hababa kukeza ni kuzwa mwa Jerusalema. Abawambi chakusatiya mwi zina lya Simwine Jesu
29 and speaking boldly in the Name of the Lord Jesus; he was both speaking and disputing with the Hellenists, and they were taking in hand to kill him,
aba wambolisani ni ma Gerike bama Juda; kono baba zwili habusu ni kulika kusaka kumwihaya.
30 and the brothers having known, brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
Linu baakwetu habeziba izi, chiba mulate hansi kwa Sesaria nikumu tumina kwa Tarese.
31 Then, indeed, the assemblies throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, had peace, being built up, and going on in the fear of the LORD, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.
Cwale linu, Inkeleke zonse mwa Judea, Galilea, ni Samaria babena inkozo imi ibazakite; ni, kuyenda niba tiite Simwine ni mukuombwa-ombwa kwa luhuho lu jolola, inkeleke chiza yekezeha chabungi.
32 And it came to pass that Peter, passing throughout all [quarters], also came down to the holy ones who were dwelling at Lydda,
Linu kubezi tendahali kuti, Pitrosi haba kukabuyenda muchikiliti chonse, aba kezi kuba lumeli baba kuhala mwi tolopo ya Lida.
33 and he found there a certain man, Aeneas by name—for eight years laid on a pallet—who was paralytic,
Uko abakawani mukwame zumi wezina lya Enea, yabena kabulo bwakwe chezilimo zilimo zimane iyanza ni zotatwe, aba kuzuminine luñañali.
34 and Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you; arise and spread for yourself”; and immediately he rose,
Pitrosi chati kwali, “Enea, Jesu Kereste waku hoza. Buke mi uzale bulobwako.” hahobulyo cha zimana.
35 and all those dwelling at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the LORD.
cwale bonse baba kuhala mwa Lida ni mwa Saroni bababoni mukwame ni ba sandukila kwa Simwine.
36 And in Joppa there was a certain female disciple, by name Tabitha (which interpreted, is called Dorcas); this woman was full of good works and kind acts that she was doing;
Linu mwa Jopa kubena mulutwana ya ba kusumpwa Tabita, itoloketwe kuti “Dorkasi.” Uzu mwanakazi abezwile mitendo milotu ni zitendantu zizwile chishemo zaba pangili bahumanehi.
37 and it came to pass in those days she, having ailed, died, and having bathed her, they laid her in an upper chamber,
kubezi kauba kuti mwawo mazuba kuti abezi kulwala ni kufwa; hachi babamanite kumushanza, baba mulaziki munzubo yokwiwulu.
38 and Lydda being near to Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter is in that [place], sent two men to him, calling on him not to delay to come through to them.
Sina Lida haiba kwina hembali ni Jopa, mi balutwana babazuwi kuti Pitrosi kwabakwina, chibatumina bakwame bobele kwali, kumu kumbila kuti, “Wize kwetu nikusena kuliyeha.”
39 And Peter having risen, went with them, whom having come, they brought into the upper chamber, and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing coats and garments, as many as Dorcas was making while she was with them.
Pitrosi chazimana ni kuyenda nabo. Hakasika, chibamutwala kwi nzubo ya kwiwulu. Mi imbelwa zonse ziba kuzimene kwimbali yakwe ni zilila, niba mutondeza majansi nizi zizwato zababa pangi Dorkasi nasina nebo.
40 And Peter having put them all forth outside, having bowed the knees, prayed, and having turned to the body, said, “Tabitha, arise”; and she opened her eyes, and having seen Peter, she sat up,
Pitrosi chaba zwisikiza bonse hanze ye nzubo, cha fukama, ni kulapela; haho, cha sandukila kumubili, chawamba, “Tabita, buke.” Che yalula menso akwe, mi habona Pitrosi che kala.
41 and having given her [his] hand, he lifted her up, and having called the holy ones and the widows, he presented her alive,
Pitrosi linuchamuha iyanza lyakwe ni kumu zimanika; mi hasumpa balumeli ni mbelwa, abamuleti na hala kubali.
42 and it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the LORD;
Iyi indaba chiyezibeka ahulu mwaJopa yonse, imi bantu bangi baba zumini kwa Simwine.
43 and it came to pass, that he remained many days in Joppa, with a certain one, Simon a tanner.
Kubazi kuba kuti Pitrosi abekali mazuba mangi mwaJopa ni mukwame yosumpwa Simoni, yaba kusuka madalo.
