Acts 9
1 But Saul, yet breathing out threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
Gene mobhago a Shauli bhatendaga punda kujogoya bhalikwabhulaganga bhaajiganywa bha Bhakulungwa. Gubhapite ku Bhakulungwa Bhaabhishila,
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.
gubhajujile bhapegwe bhaluwa ja lumanyio nnyumba ya jujila Nnungu ya shiyaudi kwene ku Dameshiki, nkupinga bhaaimanangaga bhanabhalume eu bhanabhakongwe bhakagulanga Mpanda gwa a Yeshu, bhaakamulanje bhajienabhonji ku Yelushalemu.
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus; and suddenly there shone around a him a light from heaven;
Ikabheje bhali mumpanda tome na ika ku Dameshiki, shangupe shilangaya kopoka kunnungu shikwamulishilaga mmbali yowe.
4 and he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
Gubhagwile pai gubhapilikene lilobhe lilikwabhalanjila, “Shauli! Shauli! Pakuti unamboteka?”
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he answered, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
A Shauli gubhabhushiye, “Mmakulungwa, mmwe agani?” Gubhajangwilwe, “Nne a Yeshu nkumbotekajo.
6 But arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
Ikabheje nnaino ujime, ujende kunnjini kweneko shiubhalanjilwe shiupinjikwa kutenda.”
7 And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but seeing no one.
Bhandunji bhalongenenje na a Shauli bhala, gubhajimingenenje ilili, bhakakwetenjeje shabheleketa, lilobhe lila bhalipilikenenje ikabheje bhangammonanga abheleketaga.
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.
A Shauli gubhajimi, bhakabhalakuleje meyo bhangashibhona shindu shoshowe, kwa nneyo bhandunji bhala gubhaakamwilenje nkono nikwalongoya mpaka kunjini ku Dameshiki.
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
A Shauli gubhatemi mobha gatatu gwangali lola, gene mobhago bhangalya wala kung'wa shoshowe.
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.
Bhai, ku Dameshiki kula ashinkupagwa nkujiganywa jumo ashemwaga a Anania. Bhakulungwa gubhammalanjile nng'agamii “a Anania!” A Ananiya gubhajitishe, “Nne apano, Mmakulungwa.”
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,
Bhakulungwa gubhaabhalanjile, “Nnjabhule nnjende kumpanda ushemwa Mpanda gwa Goloka mpaka kunyumba ja a Yuda nkaabhushishiye bhandu bha ku Tasho bhaashemwa a Shauli, nnaino bhanajuga Nnungu,
12 and hath seen a man, named Ananias, coming in and putting his hand on him, that he might receive sight.
na bhalabho a Shauli ng'agamii bhashinkwaabhona bhandu bhashemwa a Anania bhalijinjila nnyumba nikwaabhishila makono nkupinga bhalole kabhili.”
13 But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how great evils he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem.
Ikabheje a Anania gubhajangwile, “Mmakulungwa, njipilikana kubhandu bhabhagwinji ngani jangali jambone ja bhene bhandubho, ga ibhaatendangaga bhandu bha Ukonjelo bhenu ku Yelushalemu.
14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
Na bhashikwiya apano bhabhapegwe amuli kukopoka kubhakulungwanji bha bhaabhishila ja kwaakamulanga bhakunkulupalilanga mmwe a Yeshu.”
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.
Ikabheje Bhakulungwa gubhaabhalanjile, “Nnjendepe, pabha njikwaagula bhabhe bhatumishi bhangu, bhapite lunguya lina lyangu kubhandunji bha ilambo ina na kubhanangulungwa bhabhonji na ku bha Ishilaeli.
16 For I myself will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
Nne namwene shinaalanguye shibhapinga potekwa kwa ligongo lya lina lyangu.”
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.
Bhai, a Anania gubhapitejinjila nnyumbamo. Kungai gubhaabhishile makono a Shauli, gubhashite, “Apwanga a Shauli, Bhakulungwa a Yeshu bhankoposhele mumpanda nnikwiya apano, bhashinduma nimmishile makono nkupinga nnole kabhili na nngumbaywe naka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.”
18 And immediately there fell off from his eyes as it were scales; and he received sight, and arose, and was baptized.
Shangupe indu mbuti ipande ikugwaga kukopoka mmeyo ga a Shauli, gubhalolile kabhili, gubhajimi gubhabhatishwe.
19 And having taken some food he was strengthened. And he was some days with the disciples in Damascus.
Bhakalyeje shalya gubhakwete mashili kabhili. A Shauli gubhatemi ku Dameshiki mobha gashoko na bhaajiganywa bhapalinji pepala.
20 And immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
Shangupe gubhatandwibhe kulunguya nnyumba ya jujila Nnungu kuti, a Yeshu Bhanabhabho a Nnungu.
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.
Bhandu bhowe bhaapilikenenje gubhakanganigwenje, gubhashitenje, “Bhuli, bhenebha nngabha bhaabhulegenje bhakwaakulupalilanga a Yeshu ku Yelushalemu? Bhashinkwiya apano bhatumbilile kukwakamulanga bhene bhandunjibho nkupinga bhaapelekanje ku bhakulungwanji bha bhaabhishila!”
22 But Saul gained still more strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
A Shauli gubhapundile kukola mashili na bhalikong'ondela kuti a Yeshu ni a Kilishitu, Bhayaudi bha ku Dameshiki gubhakanganigwenje kwa kaje.
23 But after many days had passed, the Jews took counsel together to kill him;
Gakapiteje mobha gamagwinji, Bhayaudi gubhaimenenje nkuloleya mwa kwabhulajila a Shauli.
24 but their plot became known to Saul; and they were even watching the gates day and night to kill him.
Ikabheje a Shauli gubhapilikene malobhe gala. Bhandu bhatendaga kwaajubhililanga shilo na mui mmilango ja jinjilila nshilambomo, nkupinga bhaabhulaganje.
25 But his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
Ikabheje malanga ga shilo bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhaatolilenje, gubhaatuluyenje pai nshikapu shashikulungwa kupitila likumba lya lugwani.
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.
A Shauli bhakaisheje ku Yelushalemu gubhalinjile kwiilunda munkumbi gwa bhaajiganywa bhala ikabheje, bhowe gubhaajogopenje na jwakwa akulupalile kuti nabhalabho bhashibha bhaajiganywa.
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.
Penepo a Bhanabha gubhaishe kukwaatola a Shauli, gubhaapeleshe kwa ashimitume na gubhatalashiye, a Shauli shibhashite kwaabhona Bhakulungwa nikunguluka nabho. Na kabhili gubhalugwile ga a Shauli kulunguya ku Dameshiki gwangali bhoga kwa lina lya a Yeshu.
28 And he was with them going in and out at Jerusalem,
Bhai, a Shauli gubhatemi nabhonji, bhaliowa pa Yelushalemu powe pita lunguya lilobhe lya a Nnungu gwangali lipamba kwa lina lya a Yeshu.
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.
Na kabhili bhatendaga taukangana na Bhayaudi bhabheleketangaga Shigiliki, na gubhalinjilenje kwaabhulaga.
30 But the brethren obtaining knowledge of it, brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
Bhaajiganywa bhala bhakapilikananjeje genego, gubhaatolilenje a Shauli, gubhaapelekenje ku Kaishalia, gubhaaleshilenje bhajende ku Tasho.
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.
Gene mobhago bhandunji bha a Nnungu gubhatemingenenje kwa ulele, kutandubhila ku Yudea na ku Galilaya na ku Shamalia. Bhandunji bha a Nnungu gubhapundilenje kujenjesheka akuno bhalishimilikwanga na bhalikwaajogopanga a Nnungu bhalitagwanga ntima naka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.
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.
A Petili bhali nkujima jima kila mmbali gubhaishe kubhandunji bha ukonjelo bhatamanganaga ku Lida.
33 And there he found a certain man named AEneas, who had lain on a bed eight years, and was palsied.
Kweneko gubhanng'imene mundu jumo ashemwaga a Ainea, jwenejo kwa yaka nng'ano na itatu akakombolaga kushoka pashinanda kwa ligongo lya poloka.
34 And Peter said to him, AEneas, Jesus the Christ healeth thee; arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
Bhai, a Petili gubhaabhalanjile, “A Ainea, a Yeshu Kilishitu bhanakunnamya. Njumushe, ntandishe shinanda shenu.” Shangupe, a Ainea gubhajimi.
35 And all that dwelt in Lydda and Sharon saw him; and they turned to the Lord.
Bhashilambo bhowe bha ku Lida na ku Shaloni bhakaabhonanjeje a Ainea, gubhaatendebhushilenje Bhakulungwa.
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.
Bhashinkupagwa bhaajiganywa bhamo bhakongwe ku Yapa bhashemwaga a Tabhita, kwa Shigiliki a Dolikashi, malombolelo gakwe, mbala. Bhene bhakongwebho bhatendaga tenda ya uguja na mobha gowe bhatendaga kwaajangutilanga bhaalaga.
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.
Gene mobhago bhakulwalaga, gubhawile. Bhandunji gubhakundilenje maiti gabho, gubhagagonekenje kukati jaliji kugolopa.
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.
Na pabha ku Yapa kwangatalikangana kaje na ku Lida, kwa nneyo bhaajiganywa bhakapilikananjeje kuti a Petili kubhali ku Lida, gubhaatumilenje bhantenga bhabhili bhakalugulanje kuti, “Shangu nnjiye kunngwetu.”
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.
Bhai, a Petili gubhajabhwile gubhalongene nabhonji. Bhakaisheje gubhapelekwe kugolopa mpaka kukati kula. Kweneko bhanabhakongwe bhabhagwinji bhashitenga gubhaatimbililenje a Petili bhaligutanga akuno bhalikwaalanguyanga magauni na nngubho ibhaalayaga a Dolikashi pubhaliji bhakoto.
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.
A Petili gubhaakopoyenje palanga bhandu bhowe, gubhatindibhele, gubhajujile Nnungu. Kungai gubhagatendebhushile maiti gala gubhashite, “A Tabhita, nnjumushe.” Nabhalabho gubhabhalakwile meyo na bhakaabhoneje a Petili gubhajinwishe nitama.
41 And he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
A Petili gubhaakamwile nkono nikwaajinula, kungai gubhaashemilenje bhandunji bha ukonjelo na bhashitenga bhala, gubhaakamuyenje bhali bhabhakoto.
42 And it became known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
Jene nganijo gujishumile mmbali yowe ya ku Yapa na bhandunji bhabhagwinji bhakwaakulupalilangaga Bhakulungwa.
43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
A Petili gubhatemi mobha gashoko ku Yapa, ku bhandu bhamo bhabhamba mapende lina lyabho a Shimoni.
