Acts 9
1 But Saul, yet breathing out threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
Kono Saule, usiwamba zokutiza ni kwihaya balutwana ba Simwine, cha yenda ku mupurisita mukulwana
2 and asked of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any who were of this way of belief, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
ni kuka kumbila mañolo ama Sinagoge mwa Damaseka, ili kuti chawana babakuwila mweyo inzila, kapa mukwame kapa mwanakazi, pona chokabaleta niba suminwe kwa Jerusalema.
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus; and suddenly there shone around a him a light from heaven;
Haba kukabuyenda, kuba tendahali kuti heza kusika hembali ni Damaseka, hahobulyo chikweza kuboneka iseli lingi libakuzwa mwiwulu;
4 and he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
mi chawila hansi ni kuzuwa linzwi liwamba kwali, “Saule, Saule, chinzi ho ni nyandisa?
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he answered, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
Saule chetaba, “njewe ni, Simwine?” Simwine chati, “Njeme Jesu yokwete kunyandisa;
6 But arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
kono zime, winjile mu muleneñi, mi mowambilwe zo swanela kutenda.”
7 And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but seeing no one.
Bakwame baba kuyenda ni Saule chiba zima nikubula maanzwi, ni bazuwile linzwi, kono ni basabwene muntu.
8 And Saul arose from the earth; but when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
Saule chabuka hansi, mi heyalula menso akwe, kakwina chabakubona; chiba mukwata kwiyanza niku muleta mwa Damaseka.
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
Abahindi mazuba otatwe nasaboni, mi kena aba kulya ni kunywa.
10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias, and to him the Lord said in a vision, Ananias! And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
Linu Kubena mulutwana mwa Damaseka yaba kusumpwa Aneniyas; mi Simwine aba wambi kwali chempono, “Aneniyasi.” cha wamba, “Bone, ime zunu, Simwine.”
11 And the Lord said to him, Arise, and go into the street called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus; for lo! he prayeth,
Simwine cha wamba kwali, “Zime, uyende mwi kululu lisumpwa Kuotoloka, mi kwi nzubo ya Judasi buze mukwame yozwa kwa Tarese yosumpwa Saule; yokwete kulapela;
12 and hath seen a man, named Ananias, coming in and putting his hand on him, that he might receive sight.
mi ababoni impono mukwame yaba ku sumpwa Ananiyasi nakeza kwali kwiza kumubika maanza, ilikuti atambule kubona kwakwe.”
13 But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how great evils he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem.
Kono Ananiyasi chetaba, “Simwine, ni bazuwi kubangi kuamana nozu mukwame, inkolofalo isika hayi yabatendi kubantu bako bajolola mwa Jerusalema.
14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
Wina maata azwa ku mukulwana wa maprisita ku sumina bonse kunu ba sumpa he zina lyako.”
15 But the Lord said to him, Go; for this man is to me a chosen vessel, to bear my name before nations, and kings, and the sons of Israel.
Kono Simwine chawamba kwali, “Yende, mi uzu uketetwe kuba chisebeliso changu, kuhinda izina lyangu habusu bwa chisi chingi ni malena ni bana ba Isilaele;
16 For I myself will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
mi kani mutondeze mwete a sukulukile chebaka lye zina lwangu.”
17 And Ananias went away, and entered the house; and putting his hands on him, he said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus who appeared to thee in the way thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mayst receive sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Cwale Ananiyasi chayenda, ni kwinjila munzuvo. Kuka muvika maanza hakwe, chati, “Mukwangu Saule, Simwine Jesu, yaba boneki kwako he nzila hamuba kukeza, wakanituma ili kuti zo tambule kubona kwako mi wizule luho lu jolola.”
18 And immediately there fell off from his eyes as it were scales; and he received sight, and arose, and was baptized.
Hahobulyo zintu zikola maamba zibawi mumenso a Saule, mi chatambula kubona kwakwe, aba zimi ni kukolobezwa;
19 And having taken some food he was strengthened. And he was some days with the disciples in Damascus.
abali nikuwana ziho. Abekali ni balutwana mwa Damaseka chamazuba alikene.
20 And immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
Haho chaha bupaki bwa Jesu muma Sinagoge, nata kuti uzo mwana wa Ireeza.
21 And all that heard him were amazed, and said, Is not this he that destroyed in Jerusalem those who called on this name? And he hath come hither for this purpose, that he may bring them bound to the chief priests.
Bonse baba zuwi baba komokwa ni kuwamba, “kanjiyena uzu mukwame yaba sinyi abo mwa Jerusalema baba kusumpa heli zina? mi abakezi kunu ili kuti abalete zeba suminwe kumu kulwana wa maprisita.”
22 But Saul gained still more strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
Kono Saule abezi kwinjihilwa ziho, aba leti filikana mukati ka ma Juda baba kuhala mwa Damaseka chakutondeza kuti Jesu nji Keresite.
23 But after many days had passed, the Jews took counsel together to kill him;
Hakuhita mazuba mangi, ma Juda chibalela hamwina kuti bamwihaye.
24 but their plot became known to Saul; and they were even watching the gates day and night to kill him.
Kono mulelo wabo chiwezibeka kwa Saule. Baba kugantela milyango musihali ni masiku ilikuti bamwihaye.
25 But his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
Kono balutwana bakwe baba muhindi masiku kumushilsa imota, shetumwina muchitanda.
26 And when he had come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join himself to the disciples; and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
Hakeza kusika mwa Jerusalema, Saule abaliki kukopana ni balutwana, kono bonse baba kumutiya, nibasa zumina kuti mulutwana.
27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and related to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that he had spoken to him, and hew he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
Kono Barnabasi abamuhindi ni kumutwala ku bapositola. Mi Chaba wambila mwaba boneni Saule Simwine he nzila ni kuti kuti Simwine aba wambi naye, ni kwaDamaseka Saule mwa bakutazi chakusatiya mwizina lya Jesu.
28 And he was with them going in and out at Jerusalem,
Aba kopani nabo hababa kukeza ni kuzwa mwa Jerusalema. Abawambi chakusatiya mwi zina lya Simwine Jesu
29 speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. And he often spoke and disputed with the Hellenists; but they were endeavoring to slay him.
aba wambolisani ni ma Gerike bama Juda; kono baba zwili habusu ni kulika kusaka kumwihaya.
30 But the brethren obtaining knowledge of it, brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
Linu baakwetu habeziba izi, chiba mulate hansi kwa Sesaria nikumu tumina kwa Tarese.
31 The church therefore throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being built up, and walking in the fear of the Lord; and by the exhortation of the Holy Spirit it was greatly increased.
Cwale linu, Inkeleke zonse mwa Judea, Galilea, ni Samaria babena inkozo imi ibazakite; ni, kuyenda niba tiite Simwine ni mukuombwa-ombwa kwa luhuho lu jolola, inkeleke chiza yekezeha chabungi.
32 And it came to pass, that as Peter went through the whole country, he came down also to the saints who dwelt at Lydda.
Linu kubezi tendahali kuti, Pitrosi haba kukabuyenda muchikiliti chonse, aba kezi kuba lumeli baba kuhala mwi tolopo ya Lida.
33 And there he found a certain man named AEneas, who had lain on a bed eight years, and was palsied.
Uko abakawani mukwame zumi wezina lya Enea, yabena kabulo bwakwe chezilimo zilimo zimane iyanza ni zotatwe, aba kuzuminine luñañali.
34 And Peter said to him, AEneas, Jesus the Christ healeth thee; arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
Pitrosi chati kwali, “Enea, Jesu Kereste waku hoza. Buke mi uzale bulobwako.” hahobulyo cha zimana.
35 And all that dwelt in Lydda and Sharon saw him; and they turned to the Lord.
cwale bonse baba kuhala mwa Lida ni mwa Saroni bababoni mukwame ni ba sandukila kwa Simwine.
36 Now at Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which name being interpreted is the same as Dorcas, that is, Gazelle. This woman was full of good works and alms-deeds which she did.
Linu mwa Jopa kubena mulutwana ya ba kusumpwa Tabita, itoloketwe kuti “Dorkasi.” Uzu mwanakazi abezwile mitendo milotu ni zitendantu zizwile chishemo zaba pangili bahumanehi.
37 And it came to pass in those days, that she fell sick, and died; and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper chamber.
kubezi kauba kuti mwawo mazuba kuti abezi kulwala ni kufwa; hachi babamanite kumushanza, baba mulaziki munzubo yokwiwulu.
38 And as Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent to him two men with the entreaty, Do not delay to come to us.
Sina Lida haiba kwina hembali ni Jopa, mi balutwana babazuwi kuti Pitrosi kwabakwina, chibatumina bakwame bobele kwali, kumu kumbila kuti, “Wize kwetu nikusena kuliyeha.”
39 Then Peter arose, and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber; and all the widows came to him weeping, and showing the coats and cloaks which Dorcas made while she was with them.
Pitrosi chazimana ni kuyenda nabo. Hakasika, chibamutwala kwi nzubo ya kwiwulu. Mi imbelwa zonse ziba kuzimene kwimbali yakwe ni zilila, niba mutondeza majansi nizi zizwato zababa pangi Dorkasi nasina nebo.
40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down and prayed; and turning to the body he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and seeing Peter, she sat up.
Pitrosi chaba zwisikiza bonse hanze ye nzubo, cha fukama, ni kulapela; haho, cha sandukila kumubili, chawamba, “Tabita, buke.” Che yalula menso akwe, mi habona Pitrosi che kala.
41 And he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
Pitrosi linuchamuha iyanza lyakwe ni kumu zimanika; mi hasumpa balumeli ni mbelwa, abamuleti na hala kubali.
42 And it became known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
Iyi indaba chiyezibeka ahulu mwaJopa yonse, imi bantu bangi baba zumini kwa Simwine.
43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
Kubazi kuba kuti Pitrosi abekali mazuba mangi mwaJopa ni mukwame yosumpwa Simoni, yaba kusuka madalo.
