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;
Paulu kaziti Deribi na Listira, kweni katamiti mfundwa yumu yawamshema Timotewu. Mawu gwakuwi mweni vira kaweriti ntundami, kaweriti Myawudi, kumbiti tati gwakuwi kaweriti mgiriki.
2 who was well a spoken of by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.
Timotewu kaweriti na nzyumi ngulu pakati pa walii walongu wa Listira na Ikoniu.
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.
Paulu kafiriti Timotewu kalikoli na yomberi mumwanja, hangu kamyingiziyiti jandu. Katenditi hangu toziya Wayawudi woseri watamiti seemu ayi wavimaniti handa tati gwakuwi Timotewu kaweriti Mgiriki.
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.
Pawaweriti wankuwuya mlushi zilii wawapananiti wantu malagaliru galii gagalaviyitwi na wantumintumi na wazewi kulii Yerusalemu, wawagambira wantu wagajimiri.
5 The churches therefore were established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Su shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu shiziditi kugangamala munjimiru na shiyongerekiti nentu kila lishaka.
6 And having gone through Phrygia and the Galatian country, on being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia,
Wawuyiriti Seemu za Firigiya na Galatiya toziya Rohu Mnanagala kawaluusu ndiri kubwera ujumbi awu kumkoa gwa Asiya.
7 they came to Mysia, and were attempting to go into Bithynia; but the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them.
Pawayiziti mumbaka zya Misiya, wajeriti kwingira kumkoa Bituniya, kumbiti Rohu gwa Yesu kawaluusu ndiri.
8 And passing by Mysia, they came to Troas.
Su, wapitiriti Misiya, wagenda longulongu mpaka Trowa.
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.
Pashiru panu. Paulu kawoniti maonu geni kamwoniti muntu yumu gwa Makedoniya kagoloka palii na kumluwa, “Guloki, gwizi Makedoniya gwakatutangatiri.”
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.
Katepu pa Paulu kuwona maonu aga, tulitanditi kugenda Makedoniya pota kusherewa, tuwera na nakaka handa Mlungu katushema tuwabweleri shisoweru shiwagira.
11 And setting sail from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothrace, and on the day following to Neapolis;
Kulawa Trowa, twamwanja longulongu mpaka Samotiraki na Shirawu yakuwi tusulusiya nanga Neopoli.
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.
Kulawa aku, tugenditi mpaka Filipi, Lushi lya Wilaya ya kwanja ya Makedoniya, na weni viraa ndo Koloni lya Warumi. Tutamiti mulushi alu mashaka gamu.
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.
Lishaka lya kwoyera tulawiti kunja ku Lushi, tugenda mmbeku ya lushemba lweni tulihola kuwera ndo pahala pa kuluwa Mlungu. Tulikaliti, tuyowera na wadala wajojinikiti pahala panu.
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.
Muwamu wa walii yawatupikiniriti kaweriti mdala yumu mguwira Mlungu yawamshema Lidiya mwenikaya gwa Tuatira, mweni kaweriti kankuwuza nguwu za shitani za langi ya zambalawu. Mtuwa kavuguliti moyu gwakuwi ata kaviyanga visoweru vilii Paulu vyakaweriti katakula.
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.
Shakapanu yomberi pamuhera na wantu wa numba yakuwi wabatizwa. Na yomberi katuluwa pakatakula, “Payiwera mjimira nakaka handa numjimira Mtuwa, mwizi ukaya kwaneni mlikali.” Katuhimiziya tugendi.
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.
Lishaka limu, patuweriti twankugenda pahali pa kuluwa Mlungu, mhinja yumu yakaweriti na wamshera wana likakala lwa kutunga kaliwoniti na twenga Mhinja ayu kaweriti kankuwapanana watuwa wakuwi mpiya zitangala kwa kutunga gwakuwi.
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.
Su, muhinga ayu kamwiziriti Paulu na twenga, kabotanga na kutakula, “Wantu awa ndo wantumintumi wa Mlungu Mkulu. Wankuwabwelera njira ya ulopoziya.”
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.
Kaweri kankutenda hangu kwa mashaka gatangala ata lishaka limu Paulu kakalariti, kamgalambukira na kumgambira shamshera ayu, “Nukugambira kwa litawu lya Yesu Kristu, gumlawi ayu!” Palaa palii shamshera kamlawa.
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;
Su watuwa wa muhinga ulii pawawoniti kuwera litumbiru lwawu lya kupata mpiya lipera, wawakamuliti Paulu na Sila, wawakwega mpaka paweru, kuulongolu kwa wakulu.
20 and having brought them before the magistrates, said, These men are grievously disturbing our city, being Jews;
Wasitaki kwa watoza pawatakula, “wantu awa ndo Wayawudi na watenda fuju mulushi lwetu.
21 and they teach customs which it is not lawful for us Romans to receive or observe.
Wankufunda shitiba sheni twenga wenikaya wa Rumi tuluusiwa ndiri kushijimira pota kushifuta.”
22 And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates, tearing off their clothes, commanded to beat them with rods;
Shipinga sha wantu shingiriti na womberi, shiwakomanga. Na watoza walii wawavula nguwa zawu kwa likakala, wahimiziya wasyatangwi viboku.
23 and when they had laid on them many stripes, they cast them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely;
Pakukomwa nentu watatirwa mnumba, na njagira gwa shibetubetu kahimiziwa kuwatula pasi pa ulolera mkulu.
24 who having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
Kulawirana na malagaliru aga, mnjagira ayu kawatuliti mushumba kati nakamu sha shibetubetu na kugatawa magulu gawu mushibawu.
25 But at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing praises to God; and the prisoners were listening to them.
Pakakwegera na pashiru ligonu Paulu na Sila waweriti wankumluwa Mlungu na kuyimba nyimbu za kumzyuma Mlungu, aku watatirwa wamonga wawera wankupikanira.
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.
Vumu, kulawiriti lilendemeru likulu lya litapaka libegiziya liyanjiru lya shibetubetu. Su, milyangu yoseri ivuguka na minyololu yayiwatawiti watatirwa awa ilekana.
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.
Mlolera gwa shibetubetu pakayumukiti na kuyiwona milyangu ya shibetubetu ivugulwa, kaliholiti handa watatirwa woseri waweriti watoloka, na hangu kausomola upanga wakuwi, kafiriti kulilaga.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.
Kumbiti Paulu kashema kwa liziwu likulu, “Kotukulitenda gwamweni toziya twenga twawoseri twa panu.”
29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas;
Pakamshemiti kala muntu kajegi limuliku, mnjagira gwa shibetubetu katugiriti mnumba, kaliyasa paulongolu pa magulu ga Paulu na Sila agawu kankulendemera kwa lyoga.
30 and having brought them out, he said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
Shakapanu kawalonguziya kunja, kawakosiya, “Mwatuwa, ndendi shishi mbati kulopoziwa?”
31 And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou wilt be saved, and thy household.
Womberi wamwankula, “Gumjimiri Mtuwa Yesu na gwenga hagulopoziwi pamuhera na kaya yaku yoseri.”
32 And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
Su, wamubweleriti shisoweru sha Mtuwa yomberi pamhera na walongu wakuwi.
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.
Mnjagira ulii kawatoliti saa iraa ilii ya pashiru kawagulula vironda vyawu, shakapanu yomberi na walongu wakuwi woseri kawabatiza pala palii.
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.
Shakapanu kawatola Paula na Sila ukaya kwakuwi, kawayupa shiboga. Yomberi na walongu wakuwi woseri watenda shereku toziya vinu waweriti wamjimira Mlungu.
35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Release those men.
Shirawu yakuwi mandawira, watoza wawatumiti maafisa wawu pawalonga, “muwavuguliri wantu walii.”
36 And the jailer reported these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent to release you; now therefore come out, and go in peace.
Mjagira ulii gwa shibetubetu kamupananiti shisoweru Paulu, “Watoza watumiti ujumbi su mvugulilwi. Vinu muweza kulawa na kugenda zenu kwa ponga.”
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.
Kumbiti Paulu kamwakuliti. “Eti shishi? Tembera tuweriti ndiri na likosa, watusyatangiti viboku paweru twenga ndo wana lushi wa Rumi. Kayi, watuyingiziyiti mnumba na vinu wafira kutuvugulira kwa bada! Ata padidini! Ndo mpaka weni wayizi panu watuvuguliri.”
38 And the sergeants reported these words to the magistrates; and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans.
Maafisa awa wawagambiriti visoweru watoza kuusu shitwatira ashi, naomberi pawapikaniriti handa Paulu na Sila waweriti weni kaya wa Rumi, watiriti.
39 And they came and besought them; and when they had brought them out, they entreated them to leave the city.
Hangu, wagenditi kuwaluwa na pawawalaviiti kala mnumba wawaluwiti wawuki mulushi lulii.
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.
Paulu na Sila walawiti mushibetubetu, wagenditi ukaya kwa Lidiya. Aku waliwoniti na shipinga sha waumini na pawawagambiriti kala visoweru vya kuwayupa moyu wawuka.
