Acts 16
1 He came also to Derbe and Lystra. And look, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who believed; but his father was a Greek.
Paulo kabhele bho ahidili Derbe ni Litra; na langayi, pala pajhe ni mwanafunzi jhaakutibhweghe Timotheo, ndo kijana jhaahogoliki ni mabhu ghwa Kiyahudi ambajhe ndo muumini ni dadi munu ndo mgiriki.
2 The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.
Bhanu bha listra ni Ikonia bhan'shuhudili kinofu.
3 Paul wanted to have him go out with him, and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts; for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
Paulo andondeghe ili asafiriajhi nakhu, hiyo akantola ni kun'tahiri kwa ndabha jhe bhammanyili kujha dadimuni ndo Mgiriki.
4 As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
Bho bhilota bhap'elili ku miji nikuhomesya malaghisu ku makanisa ili kughatii malaghisu aghu ghalembibhu ni mitume ni bhasee okhu Yerusalemu.
5 So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Efyo makanisa ghaimarishibhu mu imani ni bhabhaamini bhajhongesiki kwa idadi khila ligono.
6 When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
Paulo ni bhajhinu bha kalota firigia ni Galatia kwani Roho ghwa K'yara abhabesili kuhubiri lilobhi okhu ku lijimbo lya Asia.
7 When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.
Bho bhakaribili Misia, bhajaribu kulota Bithinia, lakini Roho ghwa Yesu abhabesili.
8 Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
Kwa hiyo bhakapeta Misi bhakajhida mpaka mji bhwa Troa.
9 A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him, and saying, "Come over into Macedonia and help us."
Maono ghan'tokili Paulo pakilu, bhajheleni munu ghwa Makedonia ajhemili, akan'kuta ni kujobha, “Muhidayi mutulaidilayi choni Makedonia.”
10 When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to proclaim the gospel to them.
Paulo bho abhwene maono, mara tukakia ndala kulota Makedonia akimanya kujhe K'yara atukutili kulota kubhahubilila injili.
11 Then, setting sail from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
Hivyo twabhokili kuhoma Troa twalotili moja kwa moja Samothrake, ni ligono lyalafwatili twafikili mji bhwa Neapoli.
12 and from there to Philippi, which is a principle city of that district of Macedonia, a colony. We were staying some days in this city.
Kuhoma apu tukalota Filipi ambaghyo ndo moja ghya mji bhwa Makedonia, mji muhimu mu wilaya ni utawala bhwa Kirumi ni kutama magono kadhaa.
13 On the Sabbath day we went forth outside of the gate by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down, and spoke to the women who had come together.
Ligono lya sabato twalotili kwibhala kulango kwa njela jha kiholo sehemu ambajho tudhanieghe kubeta kujha ni mahali pa kubhombela maombi. Twatamili pasi ni kulongela ni bhamama bhabhahidi pamonga.
14 A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us; whose heart the Lord opened to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.
N'dala mmonga he akutibhweghe Lidia, n'hemelesajhi ghwa zambarau, kuhoma ku mji bhwa Tiatira, jha ikamwabudu K'yara atupelikisi. Bwana anfunguili muoyo bhwa muene ni kubheka maanani malobhi ghaghajobhibhu ni Paulo.
15 When she and her household were baptized, she urged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and stay." So she persuaded us.
Baada jha kubatisibhwa, atusiili ni kujobha, “Kama munibhwene kujha nene na mwaminifu kwa Bwana, basi nikabhasihi mujhingilayi ni kutama kwa nene.”Atusihili kweli.
16 It happened, as we were going to prayer, that a certain girl having a spirit of Python met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune telling.
Ikajha kwamba, bhotwilota mahali pa kus'oka, n'dala mmonga jheajhe ni pepo lya utambuzi abhone ne ni tete. Andetili Bwana ghwa muene faida simehele kwa kubashiri.
17 She followed Paul and us, shouting, "These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to you the way of salvation."
N'dala ojho akan'kesya Paulo pamonga ni tete, akajha ipiga kelele ni kujobha, “Abha bhagosi ndo bhatumishi bha K'yara jha ajhe mbaha, bhabhikabhatangasila muenga habari jha wokovu.”
18 She was doing this for many days. But Paul, becoming greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus (the) Messiah to come out of her." And it came out at once.
Abhombi naha kwa magono ghamehele, lakini Paulo akajha adadili ni litendo e'lu, ageuki kunyuma ni kun'jobhela pepo'”Nikuamuru kwa lihina lya Yesu umhokayi mugati mwa muene.” Niliene likabhoka ni kundeka mara moja.
19 But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.
Mabwana bha muene bho bhabhuene jha kujha tumaini lya faida jha bhene libhokili, bhabhakamuili Paulo ni Sila ni kubhabunisya mu soko mbele jha bhenye mamlaka.
20 When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, "These men, being Jews, are agitating our city,
Bho bhabhafikisi kwa makuhakimu bhakajobha, “Bhagosi abha Bhayahudi na bhisababisya ghasia mbaha mu mji bhwitu.
21 and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans."
Bhimanyisya mambo ambagho sio sheria tete kughapokela wala kughakesya kama Warumi.”
22 The crowd rose up together against them, and the magistrates tore their clothes off of them, and commanded them to be beaten with rods.
Umati ukabhajhinukila kinyume, Paulo ni Sila, mahakimu bharanuli nghobho sya bhene ni kubhafula ni kuamuru bhatobhibhwayi fiboko.
23 When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely,
Baada jha kubhatobha fiboko fimehele, bhakabhasopa mu ligereza ni kuamuru askari bha gereza kubhalenda kinofu.
24 who, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison, and secured their feet in the stocks.
Baada jha kupokela amri ejhu, askari bha gereza abhasopili mu kichumba kya mugati mu gereza ni kubhakonga magolo gha bhene pa sehemu pa bhabhekibhu.
25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
Bwakati wa kiru kya manane Paulo ni Sila bhakajha bhisoka ni kujhemba nyembu sya kunsifu K'yara, khoni bhafungwa bhangi bhakajha bhipelekesya.
26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's bonds were loosened.
Ghafla kwatokili litetemeko libhaha ni misingi ghya gereza ghyatikisiki, miliangu ghya gereza ghikadenduka, ni minyororo ghya bhafungwa bhoha jhalegesibhu.
27 The jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
Mlinzi ghwa gereza akajhumuka kuhoma mulogono ni kubhona miliangu ghioha ghya gereza jhidendulibhu; hivyo akatola upanga bhwa muene maana alondeghe kwikoma kwandabha afikilireghe bhafungwa bhoha bhatoniiki.
28 But Paul shouted loudly, saying, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here."
Lakini Paulo akapiga kelele kwa sauti mbaha, akajobha, “Usikidhuru kwa ndabha twebhoha tujhele mahali apa.
29 He called for lights and sprang in, and, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,
Mlinzi ghwa gereza akas'oka taa siletibhwayi ni kujhingila mugati mu gereza manyata, akajha itetemeka ni kutila akabhabinila Paulo ni Sila,
30 and brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
ni kubhapisya nje jha gereza ni kujobha, “Bhaheshimibhwa, niketakiki ili nibhweijhi kuokoka?
31 They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."
Na bhene bhakan'jobhela, “Umwamini ajhi Bwana Yesu nabhi wibetekuokoka pamonga ni nyumba jha jhobhi.”
32 They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.
Bhajobhi lilobhi lya Bwana kwa muene pamonga ni bhanu bhoha bha pa nyumba jha muene.
33 He took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.
Mlinzi ghwa gereza akabhatola ke'ru khela ni kubhasambisya sehemu sya bhalamele, muene pamonga ni bhanu bha panyumba pa muene. Mara bhakabatisibhwa.
34 He brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his household, having believed in God.
Akabhaleta Paulo ni Sila kunyumba jha muene ni kubhatengela kyakulya. Ni muene ajhele ni furaha mbaha pamonga ni bhanu bha panyumba jha muene kwandabha bhamwamini K'yara.
35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, "Let those men go."
Bho jhilikili pamusi, mahakimu bhatumili ujumbe kwa mlinzi jhola ghwa gereza bhakajobha, “Bharuhusu ajhi bhanu bhala bhalotayi.”
36 The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, "The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out, and go in peace."
Mlinzi ghwa gereza akan'julisha Paulo juu jha malobhi aghu jha kujha, “Mahakimu bhaghisi ujumbe kujha nibharuhusuajhi mulotayi: hivyo mupitayi kwibhala na mulotayi kwa amani.
37 But Paul said to them, "They have beaten us publicly, without a trial, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison. Do they now release us secretly? No indeed. Let them come themselves and bring us out."
Lakini Paulo akabhajobhela, “Bhatutobhili hadharani, bhanu ambabho ndo Bharumi bila kutuhukumu na bhaamuili kutusopa mu ligereza; halafu henu bhilonda kutupisya kwa siri? Lepi jhibhwesekana lepi, bhene bhahidayi kutupisya mahali apa.”
38 The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,
Bhalinzi bhakabhajulisya mahakimu juu jha malobhi aghu, mahakimu bhatilili sana bhobhamanyili kujha Paulo ni Sila ndo Bharumi.
39 and they came and apologized to them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.
Mahakimu bhakahida ni kubhasihi bhapitayi, na bhobhabhapisili kwibhala pa gereza, bhabhesokili Paulo ni Sila bhakapita kwibhala kubhoka mu mji obhu.
40 They went out of the prison, and entered into Lydia's house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, and departed.
Kwa hiyo Paulo ni Sila bhakapita kwibhala pa gereza bhakahida kunyumba jha Lidia. Paulo ni Sila bho bha mbwene ndogo bhabhi bhabhapelimu muoyo ni kisha kubhoka mu mji obhu.
