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;
Paulo mpwalashika ku Debe, walaya ne ku Lusitala, uko kwalikuba shikwiya naumbi, lina lyakendi Timoti. Banyina balikuba Bayuda bashoma Lesa, baishi balikuba bagiliki.
2 who was well a spoken of by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.
Banse baku Lusitala ne baku Ikoniya balikumulumba Timoti.
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.
Neco Paulo walikuyanda kumumanta kwambeti bendenga pamo. Nomba Bayuda bonse balikwikala uko balikwinshibeti baishi Timoti ni Bagiliki, Paulo walamupalula Timoti.
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.
Mpobalikuya kupita mu minshi balikuya kubenshibisha bashoma kwambeti, bakonkele milawo yalabikwa ne batumwa, pamo ne bamakulene ba mubungano wa mu Yelusalemu.
5 The churches therefore were established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Neco mibungano ya bashoma yalaba ne lushomo lwayuma, busuba ne busuba bantu balatatika kufulilako.
6 And having gone through Phrygia and the Galatian country, on being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia,
Paulo ne banendi balapitilila cimpansha ca Fuligiya ne Galatiya, pakwinga Mushimu Uswepa walabakanisha kukambauka maswi a Lesa mucimpansha ca Asiya.
7 they came to Mysia, and were attempting to go into Bithynia; but the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them.
Mpobalashika kunyinsa yacishi ca Misiya, balayanda kwingila mucimpansha ca Bituniya, nsombi Mushimu wa Yesu walabakanisha.
8 And passing by Mysia, they came to Troas.
Neco balapitilila Misiya ne kuya kushika ku Tulowa.
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.
Cindi ca mashiku Paulo walabona cimbonimboni camuntu waku Makedoniya, kali wemana ne kusengeti, “Kamutampukilani ku Makedoniya kuno, mwise mutunyamfwe.”
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.
Pacindi copeleco Paulo mpwalabona muntu mucimbonimboni, twalalibambila bulwendo bwakuya ku Makedoniya, pakwinga twalenshibeti Lesa layandeti twenga akukambauka Mulumbe Waina ku bantu baku Makedoniya.
11 And setting sail from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothrace, and on the day following to Neapolis;
Kufuma ku Tulowa twalenda mubwato kululama ku nsumbu ya Samotilase, mpobwalaca mumene twalapitilila mpaka twalashika ku Niyapoli.
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.
Kufuma ku Niyapoli, twalaya ku Filipi, munshi unene wa mucibela ca Makedoniya, walikwendeleshewa ne mfulumende ya Ciloma. Twalekala masuba angi mu munshi uwu.
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.
Pabusuba bwa Sabata twalapulilako kunsa kwamunshi ne kuya ku mulonga uko nkotwali kuyeyeti kuli musena mpobakute kupailila Bayuda. Twalekala panshi katubandika ne batukashi balikuba babungana kopeloko.
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.
Pakati pabo palikuba mutukashi naumbi, lina lyakendi Lidiya. Kucomwabo niku Tiyatila, ncito yakendi yalikuba yakulisha bikwisa byafubeluka. Walikuba mutukashi wali kupaila Lesa, neco Lesa walamucalula moyo wakendi kwambeti anyumfwishishe ne kushoma ncalikwamba Paulo.
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.
Lidiya ne bamung'anda yakendi mpobalabatishiwa, walatusengeti, “Mbuli ncemulabono kwambeti nkute lushomo muli Lesa, katuyani kung'anda kwakame muye mwikale nenjame,” Walatukakatisha neco twalaya.
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.
Cindi nacimbi mpotwalaya kumusena nkobalikupailila, twalakumanyako mutukashi musebenshi walikuba wekatwa ne mushimu waipa wakulaluka. Kufumina muncito yakendi ya kulaluka, baleli bakendi balikucanamo mali angi.
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.
Uyu mutukashi walikukonkela Paulo pamo ne njafwe, kabilikisheti, “Bantu aba ni basebenshi ba Lesa Mukulene Wapita Byonse! Balamukambaukilinga nshila yalupulusho.”
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.
Uyu mutukashi walikwinseco kwa masuba angi. Neco Paulo calamucima, walacebuka ne kuwambila mushimu waipa, “Mulina lya Yesu Klistu, ndakwambilinga omushimu waipa, fuma mu muntuyu.” Pacindi copeleco mushimu waipa walapulamo.
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;
Baleli bamutukashuyu, mpobalabona kwambeti nteti abacaninenga mali, balekata Paulo ne Sailasi, ne kubakwekweshela kumusena wa makwebo, kubomboloshi.
20 and having brought them before the magistrates, said, These men are grievously disturbing our city, being Jews;
Mpobalashika nabo kubeshi kombolosha, balambeti, “Aba bantu ni Bayuda, balapenshe bantu mu munshi mwetu muno.
21 and they teach customs which it is not lawful for us Romans to receive or observe.
Baleyishinga miyambo byabula kusuminishiwa, kayi nkatwelela kwitambula nambi kwikonkela afwe Baloma.”
22 And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates, tearing off their clothes, commanded to beat them with rods;
Likoto lyalikubapo lyalatatika kuma Paulo ne Sailasi, beshikombolosha milandu nabo ebalapesheti bantu batwamune byakufwala bya Paulo ne Sailasi ne kubambileti, babakwapule bikoti.
23 and when they had laid on them many stripes, they cast them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely;
Mpobalabakwapula bikoti tunkanda twingi, balabawala mujele ne kwambila mulonda wajele kwambeti abalame cena.
24 who having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
Neco pacebo camaswi awa, mulonda wajele walabacalila mucipinda camukati mujele, ne kubapinka myendo yabo pakati pa minkulu ibili.
25 But at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing praises to God; and the prisoners were listening to them.
Pakati pa mashiku Paulo ne Sailasi balikupaila, ne kwimbila nyimbo shakutembaula Lesa, bakaili banabo balikunyumfwako.
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.
Mwakutengashila kwalaba mukunkumo wangofu, cakwinseti lulindi lwa ng'anda ya jele yonse lwalatenkana, bisasa byonse byalashonkauka, ncetani nshebalikuba basunga kaili uliyense shalalaka panshi mbwee.
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.
Mulonda wajele usa mpwalapashamuka, ne kubona bisasa bya jele byonse byashonkauka, walayeyeti bakaili bonse balafwambamo. Walapulisha cibeshi kwambeti alishine.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.
Paulo walabilikisheti, “Kotalishina! Twense motuli muno!”
29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas;
Mulonda usa walambila naumbi kwambeti alete lampi, walafwambila mukati katutuma njenjenje, ne kuya kuliwala pamyendo ya Paulo ne Sailasi.
30 and having brought them out, he said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
Walabapulisha kunsa ne kubepusheti, “Nkambo! Nicani ncetinyinse kwambeti mpuluke?”
31 And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou wilt be saved, and thy household.
Balo balamukumbuleti, “Koshoma muli Mwami Yesu, obe ne ba mung'anda yakobe nimukapuluke.”
32 And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
Balamukambaukila maswi a Mwami, pamo ne ba mung'anda yakendi.
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.
Nekukabeti calikuba cindi camashiku, walabamanta ne kuya kubasuka bilonda. Popelapo mulonda usa ne ba mung'anda yakendi balabatishiwa.
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.
Panyuma pakendi, walaya nabo kung'anda yakendi, kuya kubapa cakulya. Mulonda uyu ne bonse ba mung'anda yakendi balakondwa cebo ca kushoma Lesa.
35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Release those men.
Mpobwalaca, beshikombolosha balatuma bashilikali kuya kumwambila usa mulonda wajele kwambeti, “Basungulule abo bantu benga.”
36 And the jailer reported these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent to release you; now therefore come out, and go in peace.
Usa mulonda wajele walamwambila Paulo kwambeti, “Beshikombolosha balatumu maswi akwambeti tumusungulule. Neco, kamupulani, kamuyani mulumuno.”
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.
Paulo walabambila bashilikali abo, kwambeti “Batukwapula bikoti bantu bangi kabebelela, kwakubula kutombolosha nanshi, kakuli afwe tobene Loma, kayi batuwala mujele. Inga lino balayandanga kutupulisheconi kampunampuna, nkacelela kubeco sobwe! Kamuyani mubambile balamutumu bese batupulishe bene.”
38 And the sergeants reported these words to the magistrates; and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans.
Basa bashilikali balaya kubambila beshikombolosha maswi awa. Mpobalanyumfweti Paulo ne Sailasi ni bene Loma, balatina.
39 And they came and besought them; and when they had brought them out, they entreated them to leave the city.
Neco beshikombolosha balesa kulilekelela kuli Paulo ne Sailasi. Panyuma pakendi balabapulisha mujele, ne kubasengeti bafumemo mu munshi uwo.
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.
Paulo ne Sailasi mpobalapula mujele, balabwelela ku ng'anda kwa Lidiya, nkobalakabonana ne banabo. Panyuma pakubayuminisha, balafuma mu mushi.
