Acts 9
1 And Saul, yet breathing of threatening and slaughter to the disciples of the LORD, having gone to the chief priest,
Kumbiti Sauli, kazidi kutisha na kulihola kuwahowiziya wafundwa wa Mtuwa, kamgendera Mtambika Mkulu gwa Numba Ngulu ya Mlungu,
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.
na mawankulu ga luhamba lwa kumaniziya kugenda kwa numba ya Mlungu kulii Dameski, su pakawona wantu wa njira ayi, wapalu kwa wadala, kawatawi na kuwajega Yerusalemu.
3 And in the going, he came near to Damascus, and suddenly there shone around him a light from Heaven,
Kumbiti pakaweriti mnjira pakwegera kusoka Dameski, vumu gulangala koseri kulawa kuliyera.
4 and having fallen on the earth, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?”
Kaguwa pasi, na kapikanira liziwu lyakumgambira, “Sauli, Sauli! Iwera hashi guntabisiya?”
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”;
Yomberi Sauli kakosiya, “Ndo gaa gwenga Mtuwa?” Nayomberi kamwankula, “Neni Yesu, mweni gwenga gumbeziyiti,” Liziwu lilonga.
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.”
“Kumbiti gugoloki na gugendi gwingiri mlushi na aku hagugambilwi shagufiruwa kutenda.”
7 And the men who are journeying with him stood speechless, indeed hearing the voice but seeing no one,
Wantu walii yawaweriti wamwanja pamuhera na Sauli wagolokiti palii, waweriti wahera lya kutakula, wapikiniriti lilii liziwu kumbiti wamwona ndiri 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,
Sauli kagolokiti, na pakatumuliti masu gakuwi, kumbiti hakeniwoni shintu shoseri, wantu walii wamlongolera kwa kumkola liwoku mpaka lushi lwa Dameski.
9 and he was three days without seeing, and he neither ate nor drank.
Sauli kalivagiti mashaka matatu pota kulola, na shipindi ashi kaliyiti ndiri ama kulanda shoseri.
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”;
Su, aku Dameski kuweriti na mfundwa yumu yawamshema Ananiya. Mtuwa kamgambira mawonu, “Ananiya!” Yomberi kamwankula, “Na panu, Mtuwa”.
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,
Mtuwa kamgambira, Gugoloki, gugendi kwana njira yayishemwa longulongu, munumba ya Yuda gumkosiyi muntu kulawa Tarisu yawamshema Sauli, vinu kankuluwa,
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.”
na mumawonu kawona muntu wamshema Ananiya kingira munumba na kumtulira mawoku su kapati kulola kayi.
13 And Ananias answered, “LORD, I have heard from many about this man, how many evils he did to Your holy ones in Jerusalem,
Ananiya kankula, “Mtuwa, mpikanira shisoweru sha muntu ayu kulawa kwa wantu wavuwa, mpikanira kuusu madoda gakawatendiriti wantu waku aku Yerusalemu.
14 and here he has authority from the chief priests, to bind all those calling on Your Name.”
Na kiza panu kaweri na utuwa kulawa kwa Watambika Wakulu kuwatula mlikakala woseri yawalishemera litawu lyakuwi.”
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;
Kumbiti mtuwa kamgambira Ananiya, “Gugendi hera, toziya numsyagula kaweri shombu shaneni, kalibweri litawu lyangu kwa maisi na wafalumi wawu kwa wantu wa Israeli.”
16 for I will show him how many things he must suffer for My Name.”
“Neni namweni hanumlagiziyi gavuwa kwa ntambu ya litawu lyangu.”
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.”
Su, Ananiya kagenda kingira mnumba. Shakapanu katula mawoku gakuwi pampindi pa Sauli, katakula, “Mlongu Sauli, Mtuwa Yesu, yakakulawiriti paweriti mnjira kankwiza panu, kanduma neni su gupati kulola kayi na kumemiziwa Rohu Mnanagala.”
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales, he also saw again instantly, and having risen, was immersed,
Mala, vintu gambira mabaku gatuluka kulawa mmasu mwa Sauli, na kaweza kulola kayi. Kagolokiti na kubatizwa,
19 and having received nourishment, was strengthened, and Saul was with the disciples in Damascus certain days,
na pa kuliya shiboga, likakala lyakuwi limwuyira. Sauli katamiti mashaka madidini pamuhera na wafundwa aku Dameski.
20 and immediately he was preaching the Christ in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God.
Mala kanjiti kubwera pakati pa numba ya Mlungu handa Yesu ndo Mwana gwa Mlungu.
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?”
Wantu woseri wampikiniriti walikangasha, watakula, “Hashi, muntu ayu ndo ulaulii yakawahoziyiti walii waweriti wankuluwa kwa litawu ali kulii Yerusalemu? Kayi kiziti panu kaweriti na nfiru ya kuwatula mlikakala wantu hawa na kuwajega kwa Watambika Wakulu!”
22 And Saul was still more strengthened, and he was confounding the Jews dwelling in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
Ata vinu Sauli kazidi kupata makakala, na kwa ntambu handa Yesu ndomweni Kristu, Wayawudi wa aku Dameski wapalanganikiti nakamu.
23 And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him,
Pa mashaka gavuwa gapititi. Wayawudi wajojinikiti na kutenda mpangu gwa kumlaga Sauli.
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,
Kumbiti Sauli kapatiti shisoweru sha mpangu hagu. Paliwala na pashiru waloliriti milyangu gwa kwingira mlushi lulii wapati kumlaga.
25 and the disciples having taken him, by night let him down by the wall, letting down in a basket.
Kumbiti shipindi sha pashiru wafundwa wakuwi wamtoliti, wamsulusiya pasi mnumba kwa lijamanda likulu kwa kupitira lupenyu lwaluweriti mshibambaza.
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,
Sauli pakasokiti Yerusalemu kajeriti kuliwunga na walii wafundwa. Kumbiti woseri wamtiriti, waweziti ndiri kujimira handa yomberi kaweriti ntumintumi.
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.
Kumbiti Barinaba kiziti kumtola Sauli, kamjega kwa wantumintumi na kawagambira ntambu Sauli pakamwoniti Mtuwa munjira, na ntambu Mtuwa pakayoweriti nayomberi. Kawagambiriti viraa ntambu Sauli pakaweriti kankubwera kwa litawu lya Yesu pota lyoga Dameski kulii.
28 And he was with them, coming in and going out in Jerusalem,
Su, Sauli kalivaga pamuhera na womberi katyangira Yerusalemu yoseri kankubwera shisoweru sha Mtuwa pota lyoga.
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,
Vilaa kayowiriti na kukakatala na Wayawudi wawatakula Shigiriki, kumbiti womberi wajeriti kumlaga.
30 and the brothers having known, brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
Walongu walii pawayambuliti shitwatira ashi, wamtoliti Sauli, wamjega Kaisariya, wamleka kagendi zakuwi Tarisu.
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.
Shakapanu shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu, shiweriti na ponga poseri Muyudeya na Galilaya na Samariya. Shitulitwi makakala na shyendereyiti kulikala mukumguwira Mtuwa na kupananwa moyu na Rohu Mnanagala, mawalangu ga shipinga ashi shyongerikiti.
32 And it came to pass that Peter, passing throughout all [quarters], also came down to the holy ones who were dwelling at Lydda,
Peteru pakaweriti mwanja kila pahala kasokiti viraa kwa wantu wa Mlungu yawaweriti walivaga Lida.
33 and he found there a certain man, Aeneas by name—for eight years laid on a pallet—who was paralytic,
Haku kamwoniti muntu yumu yawamshema Aineya ndomweni kwa shipindi sha vinja vinane kaweriti kagonja mshitanda toziya kaweriti kuleweleka.
34 and Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you; arise and spread for yourself”; and immediately he rose,
Peteru kamgambira, Aineya, “Yesu Kristu kakuponiziya, Guyumuki gutandiki shitanda shaku.” Su Aineya kayumuka.
35 and all those dwelling at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the LORD.
Wenikaya woseri wa Lida na Sharoni wamwoniti Aineya, na woseri wamwuyira Mtuwa.
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;
Kuweriti na mfundwa yumu mdala, mlushi lwa Yopa, wamshema Tabita kwa Shigiriki ndo Dorikasi mana yakuwi, mbawala. Mdala ayu kaweriti kankutenda viheri na kuwatanga wahushu.
37 and it came to pass in those days she, having ailed, died, and having bathed her, they laid her in an upper chamber,
Shipindi ashi payiwera handa kalwala, na kuhowa. Wantu wayigulula nshimba yakuwi, wayigonjeka mushumba mgolofa.
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.
Yopa patali ndiri na Lida, wafundwa pawapikaniriti handa Peteru kaweriti Lida, watuma wantu wawiri kwakuwi na ujumbi, “Gwizi kwatwenga kanongola.”
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.
Su, Peteru kagenda pamuhera nawomberi. Pakasokiti kajegitwi mgolofa ilii mushumba. Aku wakenja wavuwa wamtindira Peteru wankulira na kumlanguziya makoti na nguwu ndozyeni Dorikasi kaweriti kankuzinyawa shipindi pakaweriti mkomu.
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,
Peteru kawalaviyiti kunja woseri, kasuntama, kamluwa Mlungu. Shakapanu kayigalambukira ira nshimba ya ulii yakahowiti, kalonga, “Tabita, Gyumuki.” Nayomberi katumula masu gakuwi,
41 and having given her [his] hand, he lifted her up, and having called the holy ones and the widows, he presented her alive,
Peteru kamtanga kugoloka, shakapanu kawashema wantu walii wa Mlungu na walii wakenja, kawayupa pakawera mkomu.
42 and it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the LORD;
Shisoweru sha shitwatira ashi shivuwiti kila pahala aku Yopa, na wantu wavuwa wamjimira Mtuwa.
43 and it came to pass, that he remained many days in Joppa, with a certain one, Simon a tanner.
Peteru kalivagiti mashaka gamu aku Yopa, katama kwa muntu yumu mnyawa gwa lukuli yawamshema Simoni.
