Acts 9
1 But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
Saulo usa walapitilisha kuyosha sha kushina bantu balikukonkela kwiyisha kwa Yesu. Walaya kuli Mukulene wa Beshimilumbo,
2 and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
kuya kusenga makalata akumusuminisha kuyanawo ku manda akupaililamo ku Damasiko, kwambeti acanako nabambi bantu bacikonkela kwiyisha kwa Yesu, babe batuloba, nambi batukashi abasunge ne kubaleta ku Yelusalemu.
3 As he traveled, it happened that he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.
Mpobalashika pepi ne ku Damasiko mu bulwendo bwakendi, mwakutengashila mumuni watuba tuu walafuma kwilu ne ku mushinguluka.
4 And he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"
Walawa panshi ne ku nyumfwa liswi lya kwambeti, “Saulo, Saulo, ulampenshelenga cani?”
5 And he said, "Who are you, Lord?" And he said, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
Saulo walepusheti, “Inga njamwe bani Mwami?” Liswi lyalamukumbuleti, “Njame Yesu ngolapenshenga.
6 But rise up, and enter into the city, and you will be told what you must do."
Nyamuka, koya wingile mu munshi uwu, ni bakwambile ca kwinsa.”
7 The men who traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the sound, but seeing no one.
Bantu mbwalikuba nabo balemana, babula ca kwambapo, maswi awo bali kwanyumfwa, nsombi nkabalikumubona muntu walikwamba.
8 Saul arose from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could not see anything. They led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
Saulo walanyamuka, nsombi mpwalakapula menso, calala kubona cili conse. Neco banendi mbwalikuba nabo balengila nendi mu munshi wa Damasiko kabali bamwikatilila ku cikasa.
9 He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
Walekala masuba atatu katabono, katali cakulya, nambi kunwa cili conse.
10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, "Ananias." And he said, "Look, it's me, Lord."
Lino mu Damasiko mwalikuba shikwiya naumbi lina lyakendi Hananiya. Uyo walabona mucimbonimboni Mwami kamukuweti, “Hananiya!” Nendi walakumbuleti, “Mwami!”
11 The Lord said to him, "Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus. For look, he is praying,
Lino Mwami wala mwambileti, “Nyamuka, wenga kunshila njobakute kukuweti, ‘Nshila ya Tandabala.’ Washika ku ng'anda ya Yuda, wenga wipusheko muntu wa ku Taliso, lina lyakendi ni Saulo. Lapailinga pacino cindi.
12 and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight."
Mucimbonimboni walabona muntu lina lyakendi ni Hananiya walesa ku bika makasa akendi palyendiye kwambeti akonshe kubona kayi.”
13 But Ananias answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem.
Mpwalanyumfweco Hananiya walambeti, “Mwami, bantu bangi balang'ambili sha muntuyu, walabenshila bintu byaipa bantu benu ku Yelusalemu.
14 Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name."
Lino kayi uli kuno pakusuminishiwa ne beshimilumbo bamakulene kwambeti ese abasunge abo bonse bakute kukambilila amwe.”
15 But the Lord said to him, "Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the children of Israel.
Nsombi nendi Mwami Yesu walamwambileti, “Koya, pakwinga muntuyu ndamusala, ni musebenshi wakame eshakakambaukile mishobo imbi sha Lina lyakame, bami ne bene Islayeli.
16 For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name's sake."
Ame nindimuboneshe bishikubaba bingi mbyeshi akanyumfwe pacebo ca lina lyakame.”
17 Ananias departed, and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me, that you may receive your sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit."
Popelapo Hananiya walanyamuka ne kuya kwingila mu ng'anda umo mwalikuba Saulo. Walabika makasa pali Saulo ne kwambeti, “Mwanse wame Saulo, Mwami Yesu uyo wakubonekela pa nshila mpo wesanga kuno, lantumu. Layandangeti utatike kubona, kayi eti wisulilwe ne Mushimu Uswepa.”
18 Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was baptized.
Popelapo mu menso mwa Saulo mwalafuma bintu bilyeti mamba answi. Walatatika kubona kayi, walanyamuka ne kubatishiwa.
19 He took food and was strengthened. He stayed several days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
Panyuma pakulya cakulya, walaba ne ngofu. Saulo walekala ne beshikwiya baku Damasiko kwa masuba ang'ana.
20 Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed Jesus, that he is the Son of God.
Mwakutataya cindi, Saulo walatatika kukambauka mu manda akupaililamo a Bayuda, kwambeti Yesu ni Mwanendi Lesa.
21 All who heard him were amazed, and said, "Is not this he who in Jerusalem made havoc of those who called on this name? And he had come here intending to bring them bound before the chief priests."
Bantu bonse balikumunyumfwa balakankamana ne kwipushana bene, “Sena uyu nteyo usa walikushina bantu bashoma Yesu ku Yelusalemu? Sena kuno nte leshili kwisa kusunga bantu bamushobo uwu bonse ne kubatwala kuli beshimilumbo bamakulene?”
22 But Saul increased more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
Ngofu sha Saulo sha kukambauka shali kuya kukonempa, walapwisha mano Bayuda balikwikala mu Damasiko, ne kubashinineti Yesu endiye Mupulushi Walaiwa.
23 When many days were fulfilled, the Jews conspired together to kill him,
Mpopalapita cindi citali, Bayuda balapanganeti bamushine Saulo.
24 but their plot became known to Saul. They watched the gates both day and night that they might kill him,
Bantu balikuyanda kumushina bali kumupembelela munshi ne mashiku pacishinga ca mushi kwambeti bamushine. Nomba nabambi bantu balaya kumwambila nshebalapangana.
25 but his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
Neco pacindi ca mashiku beshikwiya bakendi balamubika mu mutanga ne kumupulishila pa cibwanko ca lubumbu lwa lilinga.
26 When Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
Mpwalashika ku Yelusalemu, Saulo walelekesha kusankana pamo ne beshikwiya. Nomba bonse balikuba ne buyowa, balikutonshanya kwambeti neye ni shikwiya.
27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.
Popelapo Banabasi, walamumanta Saulo ne kumutwala kuli batumwa. Banabasi walabambila batumwa mbuli Saulo mwalabonena Mwami Yesu pa nshila ya ku Damasiko, ne Mwami ncalamwambila, kayi walabambila ncali kukambauka Saulo mulina lya Yesu mwakubula buyowa ku Damasiko.
28 He was with them coming in and going out in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.
Neco Saulo walekala nabo, walendana mu Yelusalemu monse kaya ku kambauka mulina lya Mwami Yesu mwakubula buyowa.
29 He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.
Saulo walikwamba ne kutotekeshana nabo Bayuda bali kwamba Cigiliki. Pacebo ico, naboyo balelekesha kumushina.
30 When the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him off to Tarsus.
Beshikwiya mpobala nyumfweco, balaya pamo nendi ku Kaisaleya, ne kumutuma ku Taliso.
31 So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
Mibungano yonse yaku Yudeya, ne ku Galileya, kayi ne ku Samaliya yalekala mubote. Kayi yalayumayuma, bantu balafula, pakwinga bantu cindi conse balikupa bulemu Mwami. Kayi Mushimu Uswepa walikubayuminisha.
32 It happened, as Peter went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.
Petulo mpwali kwendana uku ne uku, walakekala pamo ne bantu ba Lesa baku Lida.
33 There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years, because he was paralyzed.
Uko nkwalacana mutuloba naumbi lina lyakendi Eneya, walikuba watontola biso bya mubili, walikonowa pampasa kwa byaka bisanu ne bitatu, kwakubula kupunduka.
34 Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed." Immediately he arose.
Petulo walamwambileti, “Eneya, Yesu Klistu lakusengulunga. Punduka, yansula mpasa yakobe.” Popelapo walapunduka.
35 All who lived at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
Mpobalamubona bantu bonse bekala mu Lida, ne mu Saloni, balashoma Mwami.
36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha (which when translated, means Dorcas). This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.
Ku Yopa kwalikuba shikwiya naumbi mutukashi, lina lya kendi Tabita mu Cigiliki ni Dolika. Wali kwinsa ncito shingi shaina, wali kunyamfwa bapenshi.
37 It happened in those days that she fell sick, and died. When they had washed her, they placed her in an upper chamber.
Pacindico Dolika walakolwa ne kufwa. Bantu balasambisha citumbi, ne kuconeka mu cipinda capelu mu ng'anda.
38 As Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to us.
Ku Yopa kwalikuba pepi ne ku Lida, neco beshikwiya mpobalanyumfweti Petulo uli ku Lida, balatuma bantu babili kuya kumwambileti, “Tulapapata, kamwisani kuno lino lino.”
39 Peter got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper chamber. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
Petulo walanyamuka ne kuya nabo. Mpwalashika, balamushindikila mu cipinda ca pelu cisa. Walacanamo batukashi bangi bamukalubingi kabalila, balamushinguluka Petulo ne kumulesha minjila ne byakufwala nabimbi mbyali kutunga Dolika, cindi ncalikuba muyumi.
40 Peter put them all out, and kneeled down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, "Tabitha, get up." She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
Petulo walasenga bonse mwa bulemu kwambeti benga pansa. Walasuntama panshi ne kupaila. Walacebukila kwalikuba citumbi cisa ne kwambeti, “Tabita, punduka!” Tabita walakapula, mpwalabona Petulo, walekala ne kwikala.
41 He gave her his hand, and raised her up. Calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
Petulo walamwikata kucikasa ne kumunyamfwilisha kwimana. Petulo walakuwa bantu bonse, bashoma Lesa, ne basa batukashi bamukalubingi, ne kumutwala Tabita kulyendibo kali muyumi ntaa!
42 And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
Makani awa mpwalanyumfwika ku Yopa, bantu bangi balashoma Mwami Lesa.
43 It happened, that he stayed many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
Petulo walekala masuba angi ku Yopa ku ng'anda ya muntu naumbi lina lyakendi Shimoni, kanyuka mpaya.
