Acts 16
1 and came to Derbe and Lystra; and, behold, a certain disciple was there, whose name was Timothy, the son of a believing Jewess, but of a Grecian father;
Paulo mpwalashika ku Debe, walaya ne ku Lusitala, uko kwalikuba shikwiya naumbi, lina lyakendi Timoti. Banyina balikuba Bayuda bashoma Lesa, baishi balikuba bagiliki.
2 who had an honorable character given by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.
Banse baku Lusitala ne baku Ikoniya balikumulumba Timoti.
3 Him Paul would have to go forth with him: and took and circumcised him, on account of the Jews who were in those places: for they all knew his father, that he was a Greek.
Neco Paulo walikuyanda kumumanta kwambeti bendenga pamo. Nomba Bayuda bonse balikwikala uko balikwinshibeti baishi Timoti ni Bagiliki, Paulo walamupalula Timoti.
4 And as they passed through the cities, they delivered to their custody the decrees, which were determined by the Apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem.
Mpobalikuya kupita mu minshi balikuya kubenshibisha bashoma kwambeti, bakonkele milawo yalabikwa ne batumwa, pamo ne bamakulene ba mubungano wa mu Yelusalemu.
5 The congregations, therefore, were confirmed in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Neco mibungano ya bashoma yalaba ne lushomo lwayuma, busuba ne busuba bantu balatatika kufulilako.
6 And they went through Phrygia, and the region of Galatia, and being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;
Paulo ne banendi balapitilila cimpansha ca Fuligiya ne Galatiya, pakwinga Mushimu Uswepa walabakanisha kukambauka maswi a Lesa mucimpansha ca Asiya.
7 when they were come to Mysia, they attempted to go to Bithynia; but the spirit did not permit them.
Mpobalashika kunyinsa yacishi ca Misiya, balayanda kwingila mucimpansha ca Bituniya, nsombi Mushimu wa Yesu walabakanisha.
8 And passing by Mysia, they went down to Troas.
Neco balapitilila Misiya ne kuya kushika ku Tulowa.
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There stood a certain Macedonia, entreating him, and saying, Come over to Macedonia, and help us.
Cindi ca mashiku Paulo walabona cimbonimboni camuntu waku Makedoniya, kali wemana ne kusengeti, “Kamutampukilani ku Makedoniya kuno, mwise mutunyamfwe.”
10 And as soon as he had seen this vision, we immediately endeavored to go to Macedonia; assuredly inferring, that the Lord had called us to declare the gospel to them.
Pacindi copeleco Paulo mpwalabona muntu mucimbonimboni, twalalibambila bulwendo bwakuya ku Makedoniya, pakwinga twalenshibeti Lesa layandeti twenga akukambauka Mulumbe Waina ku bantu baku Makedoniya.
11 Setting sail, therefore, from Troas, we ran directly to Samothracia; and the next day to Neapolis;
Kufuma ku Tulowa twalenda mubwato kululama ku nsumbu ya Samotilase, mpobwalaca mumene twalapitilila mpaka twalashika ku Niyapoli.
12 and came thence to Philippi, which is a city of the first part of Macedonia, a colony: and we continued in this city for some days.
Kufuma ku Niyapoli, twalaya ku Filipi, munshi unene wa mucibela ca Makedoniya, walikwendeleshewa ne mfulumende ya Ciloma. Twalekala masuba angi mu munshi uwu.
13 And on the Sabbath day we went out of the city to the side of the river, according to the custom, where was an oratory; and sitting down, we spoke to the women that were assembled there.
Pabusuba bwa Sabata twalapulilako kunsa kwamunshi ne kuya ku mulonga uko nkotwali kuyeyeti kuli musena mpobakute kupailila Bayuda. Twalekala panshi katubandika ne batukashi balikuba babungana kopeloko.
14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, a worshiper of God, heard the discourse: whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things which were spoken by Paul.
Pakati pabo palikuba mutukashi naumbi, lina lyakendi Lidiya. Kucomwabo niku Tiyatila, ncito yakendi yalikuba yakulisha bikwisa byafubeluka. Walikuba mutukashi wali kupaila Lesa, neco Lesa walamucalula moyo wakendi kwambeti anyumfwishishe ne kushoma ncalikwamba Paulo.
15 And when she was immersed, with her family, she entreated us, saying, If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, enter into my house, and continue there. And she compelled us.
Lidiya ne bamung'anda yakendi mpobalabatishiwa, walatusengeti, “Mbuli ncemulabono kwambeti nkute lushomo muli Lesa, katuyani kung'anda kwakame muye mwikale nenjame,” Walatukakatisha neco twalaya.
16 Now it came to pass, that as we were going to the oratory, we were met by a certain maid-servant that had a spirit of divination, who brought her owners much gain by prophesying:
Cindi nacimbi mpotwalaya kumusena nkobalikupailila, twalakumanyako mutukashi musebenshi walikuba wekatwa ne mushimu waipa wakulaluka. Kufumina muncito yakendi ya kulaluka, baleli bakendi balikucanamo mali angi.
17 the same, following after Paul and us, cried out, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who declare to you the way of salvation.
Uyu mutukashi walikukonkela Paulo pamo ne njafwe, kabilikisheti, “Bantu aba ni basebenshi ba Lesa Mukulene Wapita Byonse! Balamukambaukilinga nshila yalupulusho.”
18 And this she did for several days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I charge you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to go out of her. And it went out that very hour.
Uyu mutukashi walikwinseco kwa masuba angi. Neco Paulo calamucima, walacebuka ne kuwambila mushimu waipa, “Mulina lya Yesu Klistu, ndakwambilinga omushimu waipa, fuma mu muntuyu.” Pacindi copeleco mushimu waipa walapulamo.
19 But when her owners saw that the hope of their gain was gone; laying hold of Paul and Silas, they dragged them to the market place, to the magistrates:
Baleli bamutukashuyu, mpobalabona kwambeti nteti abacaninenga mali, balekata Paulo ne Sailasi, ne kubakwekweshela kumusena wa makwebo, kubomboloshi.
20 and having brought them to the generals of the army, they said, These men, who are Jews, mightily disturb our city;
Mpobalashika nabo kubeshi kombolosha, balambeti, “Aba bantu ni Bayuda, balapenshe bantu mu munshi mwetu muno.
21 and teach customs, which it is not lawful for us to receive and practice, being Romans.
Baleyishinga miyambo byabula kusuminishiwa, kayi nkatwelela kwitambula nambi kwikonkela afwe Baloma.”
22 And the populace rose up together against them; and the generals tearing off their garments, commanded them to be beaten with rods.
Likoto lyalikubapo lyalatatika kuma Paulo ne Sailasi, beshikombolosha milandu nabo ebalapesheti bantu batwamune byakufwala bya Paulo ne Sailasi ne kubambileti, babakwapule bikoti.
23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely.
Mpobalabakwapula bikoti tunkanda twingi, balabawala mujele ne kwambila mulonda wajele kwambeti abalame cena.
24 Who, having received such a strict charge, threw them into the inner prison, and secured their feet fast in the stocks.
Neco pacebo camaswi awa, mulonda wajele walabacalila mucipinda camukati mujele, ne kubapinka myendo yabo pakati pa minkulu ibili.
25 But at midnight, Paul and Silas having prayed, sung a hymn to God: and the prisoners heard them.
Pakati pa mashiku Paulo ne Sailasi balikupaila, ne kwimbila nyimbo shakutembaula Lesa, bakaili banabo balikunyumfwako.
26 And, on a sudden, there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prisoner were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and the bonds of all the prisoners were loosed.
Mwakutengashila kwalaba mukunkumo wangofu, cakwinseti lulindi lwa ng'anda ya jele yonse lwalatenkana, bisasa byonse byalashonkauka, ncetani nshebalikuba basunga kaili uliyense shalalaka panshi mbwee.
27 And the jailor, awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison opened, drew his sword, and was going to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners were fled.
Mulonda wajele usa mpwalapashamuka, ne kubona bisasa bya jele byonse byashonkauka, walayeyeti bakaili bonse balafwambamo. Walapulisha cibeshi kwambeti alishine.
28 But Paul cried out, with a loud voice, saying, Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.
Paulo walabilikisheti, “Kotalishina! Twense motuli muno!”
29 And he called for lights, and sprung in; and, being in a tremor, fell down before Paul and Silas;
Mulonda usa walambila naumbi kwambeti alete lampi, walafwambila mukati katutuma njenjenje, ne kuya kuliwala pamyendo ya Paulo ne Sailasi.
30 and, bringing them out, he said, O Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
Walabapulisha kunsa ne kubepusheti, “Nkambo! Nicani ncetinyinse kwambeti mpuluke?”
31 And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved, and your house.
Balo balamukumbuleti, “Koshoma muli Mwami Yesu, obe ne ba mung'anda yakobe nimukapuluke.”
32 And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
Balamukambaukila maswi a Mwami, pamo ne ba mung'anda yakendi.
33 And taking them, that very hour of the night, he washed their stripes; and was immediately immersed, himself, and all his.
Nekukabeti calikuba cindi camashiku, walabamanta ne kuya kubasuka bilonda. Popelapo mulonda usa ne ba mung'anda yakendi balabatishiwa.
34 And having brought them into his house, he spread the table before them: and believing in the God, with all his house, he was transported with joy.
Panyuma pakendi, walaya nabo kung'anda yakendi, kuya kubapa cakulya. Mulonda uyu ne bonse ba mung'anda yakendi balakondwa cebo ca kushoma Lesa.
35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Dismiss those men.
Mpobwalaca, beshikombolosha balatuma bashilikali kuya kumwambila usa mulonda wajele kwambeti, “Basungulule abo bantu benga.”
36 And the keeper of the prison told these things to Paul, The generals have sent that you may be dismissed; now, therefore, go out, and pursue your journey in peace.
Usa mulonda wajele walamwambila Paulo kwambeti, “Beshikombolosha balatumu maswi akwambeti tumusungulule. Neco, kamupulani, kamuyani mulumuno.”
37 But Paul said to them, They have beaten us, who are Romans, publicly and uncondemned, and have cast us into prison; and do they now thrust us out privately? By no means: but let them come themselves, and conduct us out.
Paulo walabambila bashilikali abo, kwambeti “Batukwapula bikoti bantu bangi kabebelela, kwakubula kutombolosha nanshi, kakuli afwe tobene Loma, kayi batuwala mujele. Inga lino balayandanga kutupulisheconi kampunampuna, nkacelela kubeco sobwe! Kamuyani mubambile balamutumu bese batupulishe bene.”
38 And the sergeants reported these words to the generals. And when they had heard that they were Romans, they were afraid:
Basa bashilikali balaya kubambila beshikombolosha maswi awa. Mpobalanyumfweti Paulo ne Sailasi ni bene Loma, balatina.
39 and they came and comforted them; and conducting them out, requested that they would depart from the city.
Neco beshikombolosha balesa kulilekelela kuli Paulo ne Sailasi. Panyuma pakendi balabapulisha mujele, ne kubasengeti bafumemo mu munshi uwo.
40 And coming out of the prison, they entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
Paulo ne Sailasi mpobalapula mujele, balabwelela ku ng'anda kwa Lidiya, nkobalakabonana ne banabo. Panyuma pakubayuminisha, balafuma mu mushi.
