Acts 16
1 And he came to Derbe and Lystra; and lo! a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewess, but whose father was a Greek;
A Pauli gubhaishe ku shilambo sha Debhe na ku Lishitila, kweneko bhatendaga tama bhaajiganywa bhamo bhashemwa a Timoteo. Anyinabhabho nabhalabho pubhaaliji bhaakulupalila na pubahaaliji Bhayaudi, ikabheje ainabhabho pubhaaliji Bhagiliki.
2 who was well a spoken of by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.
A Timoteo bhatendaga shuma uguja ku bhakilishitu bhatamanganaga ku Lishitila na ku Ikonio.
3 Him Paul wished to go forth with him, and took and circumcised him on account of the Jews who were in those places; for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
A Pauli gubhapinjile bhalongane na a Timoteo, kwa nneyo gubhaatajile unyago. Bhashinkutenda nneyo kwa ligongo lya Bhayaudi bhatamanganaga jene mmbali jila bhashinkumumanyanga kuti a Timoteo ainabhabho pubhaaliji Bhagiliki.
4 And as they journeyed through the cities, they delivered to them for their observance the decrees which had been ordained by the apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem.
Pubhapitanganaga muilambo mula, a Pauli na a Timoteo bhashinkwapanganga bhandunji malajilo gakopweshe ku Yelushalemu kwa ashimitume bha a Yeshu na bhanangulungwa, gubhaakomelesheyenje bhagatolelelanje.
5 The churches therefore were established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Kwa nneyo bhandunji bha yene nyumba ya jujila Nnungu ila gubhapundilenje kwiishimilika nngulupai na bhandunji bha kwiilunda bhakujenjeshekangaga.
6 And having gone through Phrygia and the Galatian country, on being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia,
A Pauli na ashajabhonji gubhapitilenje mmbali ya ku Piligia na ku Galatia, pabha Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo ashinkwaibhililanga bhanalunguyanje gwene ntengago muilambo ya ku Ashiya.
7 they came to Mysia, and were attempting to go into Bithynia; but the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them.
Bhakaikangananjeje mu mpika gwa shilambo sha Mishia, gubhalinjilenje kujinjila kushilambo sha ku Bhishinia, ikabheje Mbumu jwa a Yeshu gwabhalimbiyenje.
8 And passing by Mysia, they came to Troas.
Bhai, gubhapitilenje ku Mishia, gubhaelelenje mpaka ku Toloa.
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. There stood a man of Macedonia beseeching him and saying, Come over into Macedonia and help us.
Shilo, a Pauli gubhaagamile, gubhammweni mundu jumo jwa ku Makedonia ajimi alikwaajuga “Nnjomboshe nnjiye ku bhandunji bha ku Makedonia kuntujangute.”
10 And when he had seen the vision, we immediately endeavored to go into Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to publish the glad tidings to them.
Shangupe a Pauli bhakaagamileje nneyo, twangakabha gutupanganishe kwenda ku Makedonia, tulikumumanya kuti a Nnungu bhashikutushema tukaalungushiyanje Ngani ja Mmbone.
11 And setting sail from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothrace, and on the day following to Neapolis;
Tukajabhuleje ku Toloa, gutukwelile meli kwenda ku Shamotalake na malabhi gakwe gutuishe ku Neapoli.
12 and thence to Philippi, which is a chief city of the province of Macedonia, a colony. And we remained in the city some days.
Tukajabhuleje penepo, gutuishe mpaka ku Pilipi shilambo sha ku Makedonia, shilambo shikulungwa sha Bhaloma jene mmbali jila. Gutulonjeye shene shilambosho mobha gowepe.
13 And on the sabbath-day we went forth out of the gate to a river-side, where was wont to be a place of prayer, and we sat down, and spoke to the women who had assembled.
Lyubha lya Pumulila gutukopweshe palanga shilambo, gutupite nnyenje lushi nkuloleya pa jujila Nnungu, gututemi nkukunguluka na bhanabhakongwe bhaimenenje penepo.
14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, was listening; whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things which were spoken by Paul.
Munkumbi gwa bhatupilikanishiyangaga bhala, bhashinkupagwa bhakongwe bhamo bhaajogopaga a Nnungu bhashemwaga a Lidia, bha shilambo sha ku Tiatila bhaaliji na upindi gwa nngubho ya galama. Bhakulungwa bhashinkwaugulila ntima, bhagaposhele malobhe gubhabheleketaga a Pauli.
15 And when she had been baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be a believer in the Lord, come into my house, and abide. And she constrained us.
Bhakabhatishweje bhenebho na bhandunji bha nnyumba jabho, gubhatushemile kungwabho bhalinkuti, “Ibhaga kweli nnjibhweninji ngulupai jangu ku Bhakulungwa, nnjiangananje kumui kuntamangananje.” Gubhatushondelesheye kwa kaje.
16 And it came to pass, as we were going to the place of prayer, that a certain bond-maid having a soothsaying spirit met us, who brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.
Lyubha limo tulikwenda pa kwaajujila a Nnnugu, gutuimene naka mwali jumo akwete lioka lya londola. Jwene mwalijo atendaga kwaapatilanga mmbiya yaigwinji ashinangologwe kwa liengo lyakwe lya londola.
17 This woman followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, who announce to you the way of salvation.
Bhai, mwali jula gwabhakagwile a Pauli na uwe, alijobhela alinkuti, “Abha bhandunjibha nibhaakamula maengo bha a Nnungu bha kunnungu. Bhanakungulushilanga mpanda gwa patila ntapulo!”
18 And this she did for many days. But Paul, being much displeased, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out immediately.
Gwatendile nneyo kwa mobha gamagwinji mpaka lyubha limo a Pauli guyaashimile, gubhatendebhwishe gubhammalanjile lioka jula, “Ngunakuamulisha kwa lina lya a Yeshu Kilishitu gunshoshe aju!” Shangupe lioka jula gwanshoshile mwali jula.
19 But her masters seeing that the hope of their gain was gone, laid hold of Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the market-place to the rulers;
Ashinangologwe mwali jula bhakabhonanjeje ngulupai jabhonji jaapatilangaga mmbiya jiobhile, gubhaakamwilenje a Pauli na a Shila, nikwaakwakwatilanga mpaka kubhaushiyanga indu kubhakulungwanji bha shilambo.
20 and having brought them before the magistrates, said, These men are grievously disturbing our city, being Jews;
Gubhaalugwilenje ku bhaaukumulanga bhalinkutinji, “Abha bhandunjibha Bhayaudi, na bhananyatyanga shilambo shetu.
21 and they teach customs which it is not lawful for us Romans to receive or observe.
Bhanalunguyanga ngani ja ikubho ikaapinjikwa kuiposhela uwe wala kuikagula, pabha uwe tu Bhaloma.”
22 And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates, tearing off their clothes, commanded to beat them with rods;
Lugwinjili lowe lwa bhandu gulwaajendelenje kukwakomanga a Pauli na a Shila, nabhalabhonji bhaaukumulanga gubhaulilenje ngubho yabhonji kwa mashili, gubhaamulishenje bhakomwanje ibhoko.
23 and when they had laid on them many stripes, they cast them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely;
Bhakakomwanjeje kwa kaje gubhaugalilwenje nnigelesha, gubhannajilenje linjola jwa ligelesha kubhika ulinda gwa kajekaje.
24 who having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
Linjolajo akapateje gene malajilogo, gwabhaugalilenje a Pauli na a Shila kati ja nkati ligelesha lila bhali bhaatabhilenje makongono na makono nnipoto.
25 But at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing praises to God; and the prisoners were listening to them.
Tome na pakati shilo a Pauli na a Shila bhatendaga juganga Nnungu akuno bhalijimbanga nyimbo ya kwainiya, bhaatabhwanga bhananji bhalikwaapilikanishiyanga.
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and all the doors were immediately opened, and the bands of all were loosed.
Shangupe, litaka likutetemelaga kwa jogoya na mubhaolelenje makumba ga lijumba lya ligeleshalila mukutenganyikaga, shangupe milango jowe ja ligelesha lila jikuugukaga na mindondolo jibhatabhilwenje jila jikugopokaga.
27 And the jailer awakening out of sleep, and seeing the prison-doors open, drew his sword, and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
Linjola jwa ulinda jula akajumusheje nikujibhona milango ja ligelesha jiugwishe, gwaganishiye kuti bhaatabhwanga bhowe bhabhutekenje, kwa nneyo gwaolomwele upanga gwakwe nkupinga aibhulaje.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.
Ikabheje a Pauli gubhautiye lilobhe bhalinkuti, “Unaipoteshe, pabha uwe tubhowe tupali pano.”
29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas;
Gwashemiye kandili, jikaisheje linjola jula gwabhutushile nkati, gwaigwishiye pamakongono ga a Pauli na a Shila akuno alitetemela kwa jogopa.
30 and having brought them out, he said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
Kungai gwabhakopoyenje palanga, nigwashite, “Ndende bhuli niitapule?”
31 And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou wilt be saved, and thy household.
Gubhannjangwilenje, “Gwaakulupalile a Yeshu shiutapulwe ugwe na likaja lyako.”
32 And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
Bhai, gubhannungushiyenje lilobhe lya Bhakulungwa jwenejo na bhandunji bhowe bha likaja lyakwe.
33 And he took them with him at that hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and he was immediately baptized, himself and all that belonged to him.
Linjola jula gwabhatolilenje malanga ga shilo pegala gwabhaukengenje ilonda yabhonji, kungai jwenejo na bhandunji bha nnyumba jakwe bhowe gubhabhatishwenje gwanakamope.
34 And when he had brought them up into his house, he set food before them, and rejoiced with all his house, having become a believer in God.
Gwabhapelekenje a Pauli na a Shila kunngwakwe, gwabhapelenje shalya. Jwalakwe na bhandunji bha nnyumba jakwe gubhainonyelenje, pabha nnaino bhaakulupalilenje a Nnungu.
35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Release those men.
Kukasheje lyamba, bhaukumulanga gubhaatumilenje bhakulungwanji bha manjola bhalinkutinji, “Nkaagopolanje bhandunji bhala bhajendangane.”
36 And the jailer reported these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent to release you; now therefore come out, and go in peace.
Linjola jula akwaalugulilaga a Pauli jene nganijo alinkuti. “Bhaukumulanga bhashitumanga ntenga nkupinga nngopolwanje. Bhai, nnaino nkopokangane nnjendangane kwa ulele.”
37 But Paul said to them, They have publicly beaten us uncondemned, although we are Romans, and have thrust us into prison; and now do they thrust us out secretly? No; but let them come themselves, and bring us out.
Ikabheje a Pauli gubhannjangwile, “Bhashikutukomanga ibhoko palugwinjili gwangali kutuukumula na uwe Tubhaloma. Na kabhili bhashikutuugalilanga nnigelesha na nnaino bhanapinganga kutugopolanga kwa nng'iyo! Nngabha nneyo, ikabheje bhajiyangananje ashaayene kubhatukopoyanje.”
38 And the sergeants reported these words to the magistrates; and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans.
Bhakulungwanji bha manjola gubhapitenje kwaalugulilanga bhaukumulanga jene nganijo, bhakapilikananjeje kuti a Pauli na a Shila ni Bhaloma, gubhajogopenje.
39 And they came and besought them; and when they had brought them out, they entreated them to leave the city.
Kwa nneyo, gubhapite kwaagwilanga pa makongono, bhakaakopoyanjeje palanga gubhaajujilenje bhashokangananje pa shilambo pala.
40 And when they had come out of the prison, they went into the house of Lydia; and when they saw the brethren, they exhorted them, and departed.
A Pauli na a Shila gubhakopokenje nnigelesha, gubhapitengenenje kumui kwa a Lidia. Kweneko gubhaimenenje na bhakilishitu na bhakaataganjeje ntima gubhajabhulenje.
