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 mpwalashika ku Debe, walaya ne ku Lusitala, uko kwalikuba shikwiya naumbi, lina lyakendi Timoti. Banyina balikuba Bayuda bashoma Lesa, baishi balikuba bagiliki.
2 The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.
Banse baku Lusitala ne baku Ikoniya balikumulumba Timoti.
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.
Neco Paulo walikuyanda kumumanta kwambeti bendenga pamo. Nomba Bayuda bonse balikwikala uko balikwinshibeti baishi Timoti ni Bagiliki, Paulo walamupalula Timoti.
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.
Mpobalikuya kupita mu minshi balikuya kubenshibisha bashoma kwambeti, bakonkele milawo yalabikwa ne batumwa, pamo ne bamakulene ba mubungano wa mu Yelusalemu.
5 So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Neco mibungano ya bashoma yalaba ne lushomo lwayuma, busuba ne busuba bantu balatatika kufulilako.
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 ne banendi balapitilila cimpansha ca Fuligiya ne Galatiya, pakwinga Mushimu Uswepa walabakanisha kukambauka maswi a Lesa mucimpansha ca Asiya.
7 When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them.
Mpobalashika kunyinsa yacishi ca Misiya, balayanda kwingila mucimpansha ca Bituniya, nsombi Mushimu wa Yesu walabakanisha.
8 Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
Neco balapitilila Misiya ne kuya kushika ku Tulowa.
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."
Cindi ca mashiku Paulo walabona cimbonimboni camuntu waku Makedoniya, kali wemana ne kusengeti, “Kamutampukilani ku Makedoniya kuno, mwise mutunyamfwe.”
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.
Pacindi copeleco Paulo mpwalabona muntu mucimbonimboni, twalalibambila bulwendo bwakuya ku Makedoniya, pakwinga twalenshibeti Lesa layandeti twenga akukambauka Mulumbe Waina ku bantu baku Makedoniya.
11 Then, setting sail from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
Kufuma ku Tulowa twalenda mubwato kululama ku nsumbu ya Samotilase, mpobwalaca mumene twalapitilila mpaka twalashika ku Niyapoli.
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.
Kufuma ku Niyapoli, twalaya ku Filipi, munshi unene wa mucibela ca Makedoniya, walikwendeleshewa ne mfulumende ya Ciloma. Twalekala masuba angi mu munshi uwu.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 She followed Paul and us, shouting, "These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim 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 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.
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 masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.
Baleli bamutukashuyu, mpobalabona kwambeti nteti abacaninenga mali, balekata Paulo ne Sailasi, ne kubakwekweshela kumusena wa makwebo, kubomboloshi.
20 When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, "These men, being Jews, are agitating our city,
Mpobalashika nabo kubeshi kombolosha, balambeti, “Aba bantu ni Bayuda, balapenshe bantu mu munshi mwetu muno.
21 and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans."
Baleyishinga miyambo byabula kusuminishiwa, kayi nkatwelela kwitambula nambi kwikonkela afwe Baloma.”
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.
Likoto lyalikubapo lyalatatika kuma Paulo ne Sailasi, beshikombolosha milandu nabo ebalapesheti bantu batwamune byakufwala bya Paulo ne Sailasi ne kubambileti, babakwapule bikoti.
23 When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely,
Mpobalabakwapula bikoti tunkanda twingi, balabawala mujele ne kwambila mulonda wajele kwambeti abalame cena.
24 who, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison, and secured their feet in the stocks.
Neco pacebo camaswi awa, mulonda wajele walabacalila mucipinda camukati mujele, ne kubapinka myendo yabo pakati pa minkulu ibili.
25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
Pakati pa mashiku Paulo ne Sailasi balikupaila, ne kwimbila nyimbo shakutembaula Lesa, bakaili banabo balikunyumfwako.
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.
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 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.
Mulonda wajele usa mpwalapashamuka, ne kubona bisasa bya jele byonse byashonkauka, walayeyeti bakaili bonse balafwambamo. Walapulisha cibeshi kwambeti alishine.
28 But Paul shouted loudly, saying, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here."
Paulo walabilikisheti, “Kotalishina! Twense motuli muno!”
29 He called for lights and sprang in, and, fell down trembling 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 brought them out and said, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
Walabapulisha kunsa ne kubepusheti, “Nkambo! Nicani ncetinyinse kwambeti mpuluke?”
31 They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."
Balo balamukumbuleti, “Koshoma muli Mwami Yesu, obe ne ba mung'anda yakobe nimukapuluke.”
32 They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.
Balamukambaukila maswi a Mwami, pamo ne ba mung'anda yakendi.
33 He took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.
Nekukabeti calikuba cindi camashiku, walabamanta ne kuya kubasuka bilonda. Popelapo mulonda usa ne ba mung'anda yakendi balabatishiwa.
34 He brought them up into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his household, having believed in God.
Panyuma pakendi, walaya nabo kung'anda yakendi, kuya kubapa cakulya. Mulonda uyu ne bonse ba mung'anda yakendi balakondwa cebo ca kushoma Lesa.
35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, "Let those men go."
Mpobwalaca, beshikombolosha balatuma bashilikali kuya kumwambila usa mulonda wajele kwambeti, “Basungulule abo bantu benga.”
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."
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 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."
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 The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,
Basa bashilikali balaya kubambila beshikombolosha maswi awa. Mpobalanyumfweti Paulo ne Sailasi ni bene Loma, balatina.
39 and they came and apologized to them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.
Neco beshikombolosha balesa kulilekelela kuli Paulo ne Sailasi. Panyuma pakendi balabapulisha mujele, ne kubasengeti bafumemo mu munshi uwo.
40 They went out of the prison, and entered into Lydia's house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, and departed.
Paulo ne Sailasi mpobalapula mujele, balabwelela ku ng'anda kwa Lidiya, nkobalakabonana ne banabo. Panyuma pakubayuminisha, balafuma mu mushi.
