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.
uSauli ai watulaa ukoli mu wigombya nua nsha akwe. luhiku nulanso papo nai wandilye kuaja nsuta ni itekeelo nai likoli ku Yerusalemu; ni a huiili ihi nai asapatie mu isali nia Yudea ni Samaria, kwaala i itumi.
2 Devout men buried Stephen, and lamented greatly over him.
Antu a kinyauwai ai amuikile uStefano nu kuzipya u hongeelya ukulu migulya akwe.
3 But Saul ravaged the church, entering into every house, and dragged both men and women off to prison.
Kuiti uSauli ai ulimeile nangaluu itekeelo. Ai ulongoe ito ku ito nu kuakweha kunzi asungu i agoha, nu kuagumila mu kadulumu.
4 Therefore those who were scattered abroad went around proclaiming the word.
Ahuiili naza atulaa asapatie ai akili akulutanantya u lukani.
5 And Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and proclaimed to them the Christ.
uFilipo akasima mu kisali nika Samaria nu kumutanantya uKristo Yesu
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.
Ze yakilaa i anyianza kija nu kihenga i ilingasiilyo nai witumile u Filipo; akaika ukendegeeli migulya a iko nai uligitilye.
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.
Kupuma papo i antu idu nai igulye, ahing'wi ai a apumile i antu kunu akulila ku luli lukulu, hangi idu nai akule igandi ni akitele ai agunilwe.
8 There was great joy in that city.
Hangi ai ukoli ulowa ukulu mu kisali.
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,
Kuiti ai ukoli muntu ung'wi mu kisali nikanso i lina nilakwe Simioni, naiza watulaa ukituma ulogi; naza ai u utumie kua kuila i antu a ingu nua Samaria, itungo wazeligitya kina nuanso ingi muntu nua kusanigwa.
10 to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, "This man is that power of God which is called Great."
ia Samaria ihi puma nu muniino ga nu mukulu, akamutegeelya; akaligitya; “umuntu uyu igi iyo i ngulu ang'wa Itunda naiza ingi mukulu.”
11 They listened to him, because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.
Akamutegeelya, ku ndogoelyo wa akuie ku itungo ilipu ku ulogi nuakwe.
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.
Kuiti itungo nai ahuiie kina uFilipo ai utanantilye migulya a utemi nuang'wa Itunda nu migulya a lina nilang'wa Yesu Kristo, ai ogigwe, agoha ku asungu.
13 Simon himself also believed. Being baptized, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed.
Nu Simioni mukola ai uhuiie: ze yakilaa kogigwa, akalongoleka kutula nu Filipo; nai wakihenga i ilingaasiilyo nu ukuilwa nai watula ikitung'wa, ai ukuiwe.
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,
Matungo i Itumi niaku Yerusalemu nai akija kina ku Samaria asingiilya u lukani nulang'wa Itunda, aka alagiilya uPetro nu Yohana.
15 who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;
Matungo nai atulaa akusima aka alompeela; kina amusingiilye u Ng'wau Ng'welu.
16 for he had not yet fallen upon any of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Kupikiila itungo nilanso, u Ng'wau Ng'welu ai watulaa wakili kuasimiila ga nung'wi ao; ai atulaa ogigwa udu ku lina nila Mukulu uYesu.
17 Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Uugwa uPetro nu Yohana aka aikiilya i mikono, ni enso akasingiilya u Ng'wau Ngwelu.
18 Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money,
Matungo uSimioni nai wakihenga kina u Ng'wau Ng'welu wapumigwa kukiila kuikigwa i mikono ni itumi; akalowa kuinkiilya mpia,
19 saying, "Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit."
Akaligitya, “Ninkiilyi ingulu iyi, iti kila ni nikamuikiilya u mukono wasingiilye u Ng'wau Ng'welu.”
20 But Peter said to him, "May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money.
Kuiti uPetro akamutambula, i mpia niako palung'wi nu ewe ilimililee kuli, ku nsoko usigile kina i ipegwa ni ang'wa Itunda iligigwa ku mpia.
21 You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God.
Umugila ipatyo mu ikani ili, ku nsoko inkolo ako shanga ngoloku ntongeela ang'wa Itunda.
22 Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask the Lord if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
Iti gwa ile itunu u ubii nuako nu kumulompa Itunda kwaala ukulekelwa i masigo na munkolo ako.
23 For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity."
Ku ndogoelyo kihenga ukoli mu uhungu nua uwai ni kitungo nika mulandu.”
24 Simon answered, "Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to me."
uSimioni akasukiilya nu kuligitya, “Mulompi uMukulu ku nsoko ane, ku nsoko i makani ihi ni mumaligitilye ahumile kumpumila.
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.
Matungo uPetro nu Yohana nai atula akuiila nu kutanantya u lukani nula Mukulu, ai asukile ku Yerusalemu ku nzila yiyo; ai atanantilye i nkani ninza mu ijiji idu nia a Samaria.
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."
Uugwa u malaika nua Mukulu akitambulya nu Filipo akaligitya, “Elye hangi ulongole takama mu nzila ni longoe pihi a Yerusalemu kutunga ku Gaza.” (Nzila iyi ikoli mu ibambazi).
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,
Akelya nu kulongola. Goza, ai ukoli muntu nua ku Ethiopia, Towashi ukete uhumi ukulu pihi a kandase; malkia nua Ethiopia. Nai uikilwe migulya a itulyo nilakwe lihi; nu ng'wenso ai watulaa walongolaa ku Yerusalemu ki kumbika.
28 and he was returning. And sitting in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
Ai watulaa ukusuka wikie mu mutuka nuakwe ukusoma mbugulu a munyakidagu uIsaya.
29 And the Spirit said to Philip, "Go and join up with that chariot."
Ng'wau Ng'welu akaligitya nu Filipo, “Humbeela pakupi nu mutuka uwu uambinkane nu wenso.
30 And running near, Philip heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, "Do you understand what you are reading?"
Iti gwa uFilipo akalongola i ntambo, akamija ukusoma mu mbugulu ang'wa Isaya; akaligitya, Itii, ulingile nu kukisoma?”
31 He said, "How can I, unless someone explains it to me?" So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
uMuethiopia akaligitya, “nikahuma uli muntu anga wahite kuntongeela?” Akamusinja uFilipo wanankile mu mutuka nu kikie palung'wi nu ng'wenso.
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.
Itungili ilundo nila ukilisigwa nai utuile ukulisoma uMuethiopia ingi ili, ai utongeewe anga ng'waa nkolo kulongola ku usinzilwo kusinzwa ai ukilagile ihi twii, shanga ai ukunukua ilangu nilakwe;
33 In his humiliation his justice was taken away. Who will declare his generation? For his life is taken from the earth."
ku kinya uwai kakwe ulamuli nua kwe ai uhegigwe; Nyenyu ukuganuila u ulelwa nuakwe? u likalo nulakwe lahegigwe mihi.”
34 The eunuch answered Philip, "Who is the prophet talking about? About himself, or about someone else?"
Uugwa u towashi akamukolya uFilipo, nu kuligitya, “nukulompile, ingi munyakidagu kii naiza utambuwe inkani niakwe, ingi kutula ng'wenso, ang'wi nia muntu mungiiza?”
35 Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him Jesus.
uFilipo ai wandilye kuligitya, ai wandilye ku ukilisigwa uwu nuang'wa Isaya kumutanantilya nkani yang'wa 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?"
Aze akoli munzila, akapika pa mazi, utowashi akaligitya, “Goza, akoli i mazi apa ntuni ni kikingie ndeke kogigwa”,
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."
(imakani aya, ' Iti gwa uMuethiopia akasukiilya, “nihuiie kina uYesu Kristo ingi ng'wana wang'wa Itunda.” amutili mu mbugulu nia kali). Papo uMuethiopia akalagiilya u mutuka wimike.
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.
Ai alongoe mukati a mazi, palung'wi uFilipo nu towashi, uFilipo akamoja.
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.
Matungo nai akapuma mu mazi, Ng'wau Ng'welu nua Mukulu akamutwala uFilipo kahelu; utowashi shanga akamihenga, akalongola i nzila akwe waze ulumbiiye.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus. Passing through, he preached the Good News to all the cities, until he came to Caesarea.
Kuiti uFilipo akapumila ku Azolo, ai ukiile mu mukoa uwo nu kutanantya nkani ninza mu isali yihi kupikiila nai wakapika ku Kaisaria.
