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;
Hinu akahika ku Delibe na ku Lusitila, kweatamayi muwuliwa mmonga liina laki Timoti. Nyina waki mewawa avi msadika Myawudi, nambu dadi waki avi Mgiliki.
2 who was well a spoken of by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.
Timoti alumbiwi bwina na vamsadika va ku Lusitila 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.
Pauli aganili kulongosana na Timoti mulugendu, hinu akamdumula jandu. Akitili chenicho ndava Vayawudi voha vevatamayi pandi zila, vamanyili kuvya dadi wa Timoti avi Mgiliki.
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.
Pavavi mulugendu lwa mumiji vavajovela vandu malagizu ga vamitumi vala na vagogo vala va ku Yelusalemu, vakavajovela vagalanda.
5 The churches therefore were established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Hinu msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika kilisitu vakangamala muusadika, ndi vakayonjokeseka kila ligono.
6 And having gone through Phrygia and the Galatian country, on being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia,
Vakapitila mumiji ya Flugia na Galatia muni Mpungu Msopi nakuvayidakila kukokosa ujumbi wula ku Asia.
7 they came to Mysia, and were attempting to go into Bithynia; but the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them.
Pavahikili mumibaka ya Musia, valingili kuyingila mulima wa Bisunia. Nambu Mpungu wa Yesu nakuvayidakila.
8 And passing by Mysia, they came to Troas.
Hinu vapitili ku Musia na kuhamba lumonga ku Tloa.
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.
Lukumbi lwa kilu, Pauli akalota maono amuwene mundu mmonga wa ku Makedonia ayimili balapala na kumuyupa, “Kupuka ubwela ku Makedonia utitangatila.”
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.
Pauli peagawene maono gala, bahapo tajitendelekili kukupuka kuhamba Makedonia muni tamanyili chakaka Chapanga atikemili tihamba kuvakokosela Lilovi la Bwina kwenuko.
11 And setting sail from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothrace, and on the day following to Neapolis;
Tagendili muwatu kuhuma ku Tloa mbaka Samotilake, na chilau yaki tahikili 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.
Kuhuma kwenuko tikahamba ku Filipi muji mmonga pamulima wa Makedonia, Likoloni la Valumi. Ndi tatamili muji wenuwo mulukumbi lwa magono.
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.
Ligono la Kupumulila tahumuli kuvala ya muji, na kuhamba pamuhana ya mfuleni pandu petahololela pakuyupila Chapanga. Ndi tikatama na kulongela na vadala vevakonganiki penapo.
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.
Mmonga wa vadala vevatiyuwanila vala, avi mdala mmonga msadika liina laki Lidia, mkolonjinji wa Tuatila, mweigula na kugulisa nyula za mashonga gamahele. Bambu amdindwili mtima waki hati akagalanda malovi gala geajova 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.
Mdala yula pamonga na vandu va munyumba yaki pevamali kubatiziwa, akatigongolela, “Ngati chakaka myidakili kuvya nene namsadika wa Bambu, mbwela kutama kunyumba yangu.” Akakangamala kutijovela tihamba.
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.
Ligono limonga patakavi mukuhamba pandu pa kumuyupa Chapanga, takonganiki na msikana mmonga mvanda mweavi na mzuka wa kulondola. Mdala mwenuyo avapela mashonga gamahele vandu vana vindu vyamahele ndava ulondola waki.
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.
Msikana yula akatilanda Pauli na tete, ijova kwa lwami luvaha, “Vandu ava ndi vatumisi va Chapanga Mkulu! Vakuvadandaulila njila ya kusanguka!”
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.
Akitili chenicho kwa magono gamahele mbaka ligono limonga Pauli akayoma, akamng'anamukila na kuujovela mzuka wula, “Muuhotola wa Yesu Kilisitu nikulagiza muwuka mundu uyu!” Bahapo mzuka wula ukamuwuka.
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;
Vakulu va mvanda yula pavawene mpangu wavi wa kupata mashonga kuhuma kwa mvanda wavi umaliki, vakavakamula Pauli na Sila na kuvakwekesa pandu pakugulisila vindu, palongolo ya vakulu va muji.
20 and having brought them before the magistrates, said, These men are grievously disturbing our city, being Jews;
Vakavatakila kwa vahamula mihalu va Loma na kujova, “Vandu ava vileta chitututu pamuji witu navene ndi Vayawudi.
21 and they teach customs which it is not lawful for us Romans to receive or observe.
Viwula mivelu yeyibesiwi kwa tete vandu va ku Loma kuyidakila na kuyilanda.”
22 And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates, tearing off their clothes, commanded to beat them with rods;
Na msambi wa vandu wewavi penapo ukavatova Pauli na Sila. Kangi vahamula mihalu vala vakavapapula nyula za Pauli na Sila, vakahamula vatovewayi ndonga.
23 and when they had laid on them many stripes, they cast them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely;
Pevamali kuvatova neju, vakavasopa muchifungu na linjolinjoli wa jela alagaziwi kuvya mihu muulonda.
24 who having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
Ndava ya malagizu genago, linjolinjoli wa jela akavasopa muchumba cha mugati neju na kuvakunga magendelu gavi muhibiki.
25 But at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing praises to God; and the prisoners were listening to them.
Peyahikili pagati ya kilu Pauli na Sila vamuyupayi na kumuyimbila nyimbu za kumulumbalila Chapanga, kuni vafungwa vayavi vakuvayuwanila.
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.
Chigafula mndendemo mvaha wa ndima ukahumila, wewanyugwisi mikingisa ya jela. Bahapo milyangu hikadinduka na minyololo yevakungiwi vafungwa yikawopoka.
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.
Linjolinjoli wa jela peayumwiki na kulola milyangu ya jela gavi mbee, akatola upanga na kugana kujikoma, ndava aholalili kuvya vafungwa voha vatilili.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.
Nambu Pauli akakemela kwa lwami luvaha, “Ukoto kujikoma wamwene, muni tee tavoha takona tivii!”
29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas;
Linjolinjoli yula peamali kuyupa hahi, akajumbalila mugati akajigwisa pahi pa magendelu ga Pauli na Sila kuni ivagaya kwa wogohi.
30 and having brought them out, he said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
Kangi akavalongosa mbaka kuvala, akavakota, “Mwavakulu vangu, nikita kyani nihotola kusanguka?”
31 And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou wilt be saved, and thy household.
Vene vakamyangula, “Umsadika Bambu Yesu ndi veve pamonga na vandu va munyumba yaku yati mwisanguliwa.”
32 And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
Hinu vakamkokosela Lilovi la Bambu mwene pamonga na vandu va munyumba yaki.
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.
Lukumbi lulolo lwa kilu, linjolinjoli wa jela yula akavatola na kuvasambisa mavamba gavi, kangi mwene na vandu va munyumba yaki vabatiziwi bahapo.
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.
Kangi akavagongolela Pauli na Sila kunyumba yaki, kuvapela chakulya. Mwene pamonga na vandu va munyumba yaki vakavya na luheku neju ndava hinu vakumsadika Chapanga.
35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Release those men.
Chilau yaki lukela, vahamula mihalu va Chiloma vavatumili vakulu va manjolinjoli na malagizu aga, “Muvadindulila vandu vala.”
36 And the jailer reported these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent to release you; now therefore come out, and go in peace.
Linjolinjoli wa jela akamjovela Pauli, “Vahamula mihalu va Loma vatumili na ujumbi uwu kwa veve na Sila mudinduliwayi. Hinu mwihotola kuhuma na muhamba na uteke.”
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.
Nambu Pauli akamyangula, “Gavi wuli? Tahokili lepi vatitovili ndonga pavandu kuni tavete tavakolonjinji wa ku Loma. Kangi vatisopili muchifungu na hinu vigana kutidindulila cha mfiyu! Hati padebe! Yikuvagana vene vahamula mihalu ndi vabwela kutidindulila.”
38 And the sergeants reported these words to the magistrates; and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans.
Vakulu va manjolinjoli vakavadandaulila lijambu lila vahamula mihalu, hinu vene pevayuwini kuvya Pauli na Sila vavi vakolonjinji va mulima wa ku Loma vayogwipi.
39 And they came and besought them; and when they had brought them out, they entreated them to leave the city.
Ndi vakahamba na kujova, “Chondi mpepayi,” Na pavavahumisi mugati, vakavayupa vawuka pamuji wula.
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.
Pauli na Sila pavahumili muchifungu vakahamba kunyumba ya Lidia, kwenuko vakakonganeka na vamsadika. Pevamali kuvakangamalisa mitima vakawuka.
