Acts 8
1 Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the church which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles.
Sauli abile mu'makubaliano ya kiwo chake, lisoba lee nga atumbwile kuwatesa kinyume cha likanisa lyalibile Yerusalemu; na baaminio bote batawanyika katika majigambo ga Yudea na Samaria, ila mitume.
2 Devout men buried Stephen, and lamented greatly over him.
Bandu bacha'Nnongo balimsika Stephano na kupanga maombolezo makolo nnani yake.
3 But Saul ravaged the church, entering into every house, and dragged both men and women off to prison.
Lakini Sauli atilidhuru muno likanisa. Ayenda mu'nyumba kwa nyumba na kubaburuza panja anwawa na analome, na kuwabeka muligereza.
4 Therefore those who were scattered abroad went around proclaiming the word.
Baaminio ambao babile batitawanyika bado balihubili neno.
5 And Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and proclaimed to them the Christ.
Filipo atiuluka katika mji wa Samaria na kuntangaza Kristo kolyo.
6 The crowds listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip, when they heard and saw the signs which he did.
Baada ya bandu kugayowa na kubona ishara azipangite Filipo; babekite umakini nnani yake chalo chaakibaya.
7 For unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them. They came out, crying with a loud voice. Many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed.
Boka po bandu banyansima bayowine, nchela achafu bakibatoka bandu huku wakilela kwa lilobe likolo, na benge batipooza na iwete baponile.
8 There was great joy in that city.
Na pabile na puraha ngolo katika mji.
9 But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who used to practice sorcery in the city, and amazed the people of Samaria, making himself out to be some great one,
Lakini pabile na mundu yumo katika mji wolo lina lyake Simon, ambaye akipanga bwabe, ambao atiutumya kubashangaza bandu ba litaifa lya Samaria, muda abaya kuwa ywembe ni mundu wa muhimu.
10 to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, "This man is that power of God which is called Great."
Basamalia bote tangu nchunu hata mkolo kamsikiliza; babaya;”mundu yolo ni yelo ngupu ya Nnongo ambaye ni kolo.”
11 They listened to him, because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.
Bamsikiliza, kwa maana atibashangaza muda mrefu kwa bwabe wake.
12 But when they believed Philip as he preached good news concerning the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
Lakini muda pabaaminiya kuwa Filipo ahubiri nnani ya ufalme wa Nnongo na nnani ya lina lya Yesu Kristo, batiabatiza, analome kwa alwawa.
13 Simon himself also believed. Being baptized, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed.
Na Simoni mwene aaminiya, baada ya kubatizwa, aliendelea kuwa na Filipo; abweni ishara na miujiza yaibile ikipangika, atishangala.
14 Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,
Mundu mitume ba Yerusalemu bayowine kuwa Samaria yapokya neno lya Nnongo, baatuma Petro na Yohana.
15 who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;
Muda babile bauluka kabalobya; panga wamokee Roho Mtakatifu.
16 for he had not yet fallen upon any of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Mpaka muda woo, Roho Mtakatifu abile amshukia kwaa hata yumo wabe; babile batibatizwa kwa lina lya Ngwana Yesu.
17 Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Petro na Yohana baabekeya maboko, na bembe bampokya Roho Mtakatifu
18 Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money,
Muda Simoni abweni Roho Mtakatifu atitolewa pitya kuwekewa maboko na mitume; apala kuwapeya mbanje,
19 saying, "Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit."
Kabaya, “Munipei ayee ngupu, ili kila ywanimbekya maboko apokee Roho Mtakatifu.”
20 But Peter said to him, "May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money.
Lakini Petro ammakiye; mbanje yako pamope na wenga ipotee kutalu, kwa sababu utangite kuwa karama ya Nnongo yapatikana kwa mbanje.
21 You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God.
Ubile kwaa na sehemu katika likowe lee, kwa sababu mwoyo wako ni mnyoofu kwaa nnongi ya Nnongo.
22 Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask the Lord if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
Nga nyo bai tubu maovu yako na kunloba Nnongo labda walowa samehewa fikra ya mwoyo wako.
23 For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity."
Kwa maana nibona ubile katika sumu ya uchungu na kifungo cha sambi.”
24 Simon answered, "Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to me."
Simoni kanyangwa na kubaya, Munlobe Ngwana kwa ajili yango, kwa mana makowe gote yamuyabaya yaweza pangika kwango.
25 They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Good News to many villages of the Samaritans.
Muda Petro na Yohana babile batishuhudia na kuhubiri neno lya Ngwana, batikerebuka Yerusalemu kwa ndela yoo; batihubiri injili katika vijiji vyanyansima vya Basamaria.
26 But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, "Arise, and go toward the south to the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desert."
Bai malaika ba Ngwana kalongela na Filipo no baya, “Angza na uyende kusini katika ndela ya'iyenda pae ya Yerusalemu kuelekea Gaza.” (Ndela yee ibile katika lijangwa).
27 And he arose and went. And look, there was a man from Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Kandake, the queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge over all her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship,
Kaangaza na yenda. Linga, pabile na mundu wa Ethiopia, towashi abile na mamlaka kolo pae ya kandase; malkia ba Ethiopia. Ywatibekwa nnani ya hazina yake yote, ni ywembe abile ayenda Yerusalemu kuabudu.
28 and he was returning. And sitting in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
Abile akerebuka atami mu'gari yake kasoma chuo cha nabii Isaya.
29 And the Spirit said to Philip, "Go and join up with that chariot."
Roho kalongela na Filipo, “Sogea papipi na gari lee ukengamane nalo.
30 And running near, Philip heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, "Do you understand what you are reading?"
“Nga nyo Filipo kayenda mbio, atimsika kasoma katika chuo cha nabii Isaya, kabaya, Je utangite cha ukisomile?”
31 He said, "How can I, unless someone explains it to me?" So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
Muethiopia kabaya, “Naweza kinamani bila ongozwa na mundu?” Kamsihi Filipo apande garini na atami pamope ni ywembe.
32 Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, "He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he does not open his mouth.
Nambeambe lifungu lya maandiko lyalibile atilisoma Muethiopia ni lee; Ationgozwa kati ngondolo kuyenda machinjioni chinjwa; na mana ngondolo atinyamaza kimya, afungua kwaa nkano wake:
33 In his humiliation his justice was taken away. Who will declare his generation? For his life is taken from the earth."
Kwa huzunikiya kwake hukumu yake itiondolewa: Nyai ywaeleza kizazi chake? maisha yake yationdolewa katika nchi.”
34 The eunuch answered Philip, "Who is the prophet talking about? About himself, or about someone else?"
Ayoo towashi kannaluya Filipo, no baya, “Nakuloba, ni nabii yupi ambaye ilongelwa habari yake, ni kuhusu ywembe, au za mundu ywenge”?
35 Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him Jesus.
Filipo atumbwi kulongela, atumbwile kwa liandiko lee la Isaya kumhubiria habari ya Yesu.
36 As they went on the way, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "Look, here is water. What is keeping me from being baptized?"
Babile mundela, baika pabile na mase,'towashi kabaya, “Linga, pabile na mase pano namani chakengama nibatizwe kwaa?”
37 And he said to him, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."
maneno aga, “Nga nyo Muethopia kanyangwa “naaminiya panga Yesu Kristo ni Mwana wa Nnongo,” gabile kwaa mu'maandiko ga kale) nga Muethiopia kaamuru gari lisimame.
38 He commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.
Batiyenda nkati ya maji, pamope Filipo na towashi, Filipo kambatiza.
39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him any more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
Muda babokite mu'mase, Roho wa Ngwana yatimpeleka Filipo kutalu; towashi amweni kwaa, kayenda mu'ndela yake kashangilia.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus. Passing through, he preached the Good News to all the cities, until he came to Caesarea.
Lakini Filipo katokea Azoto. Apeta katika nkoa wolo kuhubiri injili katika miji yote mpaka paaikite Kaisaria.
