Acts 9
1 But Saul, yet breathing out threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
Nambu lukumbi lwenulo, Sauli ayonjokisi kuvayogofya kwa kuvakoma vamulanda va Bambu. Akahamba kwa Mteta Mkulu,
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.
akayupa balua ya kummanyisa kwa nyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi zezavi ku Damasko, muni akavakolela vandu vevilanda Njila ya Bambu, vagosi amala vadala, avakamula na kuvaleta ku Yelusalemu.
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus; and suddenly there shone around a him a light from heaven;
Sauli peavi munjila papipi kuhika ku Damasko, chigafula lumuli kuhuma kunani kwa Chapanga lukamtindila kumlangasa mwene pandi zoha.
4 and he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
Sauli akagwa pahi ndi akayuwana lwami lukumjovela, “Sauli, Sauli! Ndava kyani ukuning'aha?”
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he answered, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
Sauli akakota, “Ndi wayani veve, Bambu?” Na lwami lula lukayangula, “Nene ndi Yesu mweukuning'aha.
6 But arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
Nambu hinu yima uhamba kumujini, kwenuko ndi kwewijoviwa chechikugana kuchihenga.”
7 And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but seeing no one.
Vandu vevavi mulugendu pamonga na Sauli vayimili nuu ndava ya kukangaswa, vayuwini lwami lula nambu vamuwene lepi mundu yoyoha.
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.
Sauli akayinuka, peagubukwili mihu gaki, nakuhotola kulola, hinu vandu vevavi mulugendu nawu vakamkamula chiwoko kumlongosa mbaka ku Damasko.
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
Sauli atamili magono gadatu changalola, na lukumbi lwenulo lwoha atamii changalya chindu amala kunywa chindu chochoha.
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.
Damasko kula ndi kwavili na msadika mmonga liina laki Anania. Mwenuyo akemeliwi kujovewa na Bambu mumawono, “Anania!” Mwene akayidika, “Nivii apa, Bambu.”
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,
Mwene Bambu akamjovela, “Ujitendelekahi uhamba kunjila yeyikemelewa Selede mbaka kunyumba ya Yuda ukotayi kumvala mundu yula mweahumili ku Taso, liina laki Sauli. Hinu akumuyupa Chapanga,
12 and hath seen a man, named Ananias, coming in and putting his hand on him, that he might receive sight.
na Sauli amali kuloleswa mumaono na Bambu, kuvya mundu mweikemiwa Anania avi kuyingila mugati na kumvikila mawoko muni alola kavili.”
13 But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how great evils he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem.
Nambu Anania akayangula, “Bambu, vandu vamahele nivayuwini mambu gakumvala mundu uyu, niyuwini gahakau neju geavahengili vamsadika vaku ku Yelusalemu kula.
14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
Na hinu vamteta vakulu vampeli uhotola Sauli abwela kuni ku Damasko kuvakamula voha vevakukusadika veve.”
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.
Nambu Bambu akamjovela Anania, “Uhamba ndu, muni mwenuyo nimuhagwili muni anihengela, kukokosa ndava ya liina langu kwa vandu vangali Vayawudi na vankosi vavi na kwa vandu va Isilaeli.
16 For I myself will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
Namwene yati nikumlangisa mambu gamahele gegakumgana kung'aiswa ndava yangu.”
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.
Hinu Anania akahamba mbaka panyumba yeniyo, akayingila mugati, kangi akamvikila mawoko Sauli. Akamjovela “Mlongo Sauli, Bambu Yesu ndi mweanitumili, mwene akuhumalili pawakavili munjila kubwela kuni, anitumili nene muni uhotola kulola kavili na kumemeswa Mpungu Msopi.”
18 And immediately there fell off from his eyes as it were scales; and he received sight, and arose, and was baptized.
Bahapo vindu ngati magagau vikagwa pahi kuhuma mumihu mwa Sauli, ndi akalola kavili. Hinu akayima, akabatiziwa,
19 And having taken some food he was strengthened. And he was some days with the disciples in Damascus.
na peamali kulya chakulya makakala gaki gakamuwuyila. Sauli atamili pamonga na vawuliwa magono gadebe ku Damasko kula.
20 And immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
Bahapo akatumbula kukokosa munyumba za kukonganekela Vayawudi, kuvya Yesu ndi Mwana wa Chapanga.
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.
Vandu voha vevamyuwini vakakangasa, vakakota, “Wu, mundu mwenuyu lepi yula mweavakomili vandu vala vevamuyupayi kwa liina la Yesu wa ku Yelusalemu? Na ndava ya mpangu wenuwo ndi abwela penapa, avakamula vandu na kuvapeleka kwa vamteta vakulu!”
22 But Saul gained still more strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
Sauli akayonjokeseka ukekesi na makakala, ndava ya kujova hotohoto kuvya Yesu ndi Kilisitu, Vayawudi va ku Damasko luhala lukavayaga.
23 But after many days had passed, the Jews took counsel together to kill him;
Pagamaliki magono gamahele, Vayawudi vakakonganeka na kukita mpangu wa kumkoma Sauli.
24 but their plot became known to Saul; and they were even watching the gates day and night to kill him.
Nambu Sauli ayuwini mpangu wavi. Kilu na muhi vamlindili mumilyangu ya kuyingalila kumujini muni vahotola kumkoma.
25 But his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
Lukumbi lwa kilu vawuliwa vaki vakamtola na kumhulusa pahi mugati ya lidengu livaha mufwasi ya luwumba.
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.
Sauli pahaikili ku Yelusalemu akalinga kujiwunga na vawuliwa vala. Nambu vandu voha vamyogwipi vamsadiki lepi kuvya mwene ndi mulanda wa chakaka.
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.
Kangi Banaba akamtola Sauli na kumpeleka kwa vamitumi, akavadandaulila kumvala Sauli cheamuwene Bambu munjila, na Bambu chealongili nayu. Mewawa avadandaulili kuvya Sauli cheahotwili kukokosa muuhotola wa Yesu changali wogohi, ku Damasko kula.
28 And he was with them going in and out at Jerusalem,
Hinu Sauli akatama pamonga nawu, akagendelela pa Yelusalemu poha kuni ikokosa liina la Bambu changali wogohi.
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.
Mewawa alongili na kuhutana na Vayawudi vevilongela Chigiliki, nambu vene vapangili kumkoma.
30 But the brethren obtaining knowledge of it, brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
Valongo vala pevayuwini mpangu wenuwo, vakamtola Sauli na kuhamba nayu ku Kaisalia ndi vakamtuma ahamba ku Taso.
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.
Lukumbi lwenulo msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu vakavya na uteke na mumiji yoha ya ku Yudea na ku Galilaya na ku Samaliya. Layendalili kukula mukuyupa Bambu na kuyonjokeseka na kutangatiliwa na Mpungu Msopi.
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.
Petili peavi mulugendu kila pandi mewa avahikilili vandu va Chapanga vevatamayi kumuji wa Luda.
33 And there he found a certain man named AEneas, who had lain on a bed eight years, and was palsied.
Kwenuko akamkolili mundu mmonga liina laki Ainea mweavi na utamu wa kupola higa, ndi agonili pa mpasa mulukumbi lwa miyaka nane.
34 And Peter said to him, AEneas, Jesus the Christ healeth thee; arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
Petili akamjovela, “Ainea, Yesu Kilisitu akukulamisa. Yimuka, ujitandikila mpasa waku.” Bahapo Ainea akayima.
35 And all that dwelt in Lydda and Sharon saw him; and they turned to the Lord.
Vandu voha va ku Luda na ku Saloni pavawene Ainea, vakamuwuyila Bambu.
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.
Kumuji wa Yopa kwavili na mulanda mmonga mdala liina laki Tabita, kwa Chigiliki ndi Doka mana yaki huluku. Mdala mwenuyo ahengayi mambu ga kumganisa Chapanga na kuvatangatila vangangu.
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.
Magono genago alwalili na kufwa. Hinu vandu vayisambisi higa yaki, vakamgonesa kugolofa.
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.
Muji wa Luda wavi papipi na muji wa Yopa, hinu vamsadika vala pevayuwini kuvya Petili avi kwenuko, ndi vakavatuma vandu vavili na ujumbi uwu, “Chondi, ubwela kwitu kanyata.”
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.
Hinu, Petili akawuka na kulongosana na vajumbi vala, pevamali kuhika vampeliki kugolofa. Valipwela voha vevavi penapo vamtindili Petili vakavembeneka na kumlangisa magwanda na nyula zoha zeatengenezayi Doka pavi mumi.
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.
Petili avahumisi kuvala vandu voha akafugama akayupa kwa Chapanga. Kangi akahegelela payavi higa pala na kujova, “Tabita, yumuka!” Mwene akagubukula mihu, hinu peamuwene Petili ndi akayinuka na kutama.
41 And he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
Petili akamkamula chiwoko, akamyinula. Kangi akavakemela vamsadika na valipwela vala ndi akavagotolela kuni avi mumi.
42 And it became known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
Malovi ga lijambu lenilo gadandasiki pandu poha ku Yopa, na vandu vamahele vakamsadika Bambu.
43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
Petili atamili ku Yopa kwa magono nunuyu, munyumba ya mundu mweitendelekela vindu vya chikumba liina laki Simoni.
