Acts 9
1 But Saul, yet breathing out threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
Kumbiti Sauli, kazidi kutisha na kulihola kuwahowiziya wafundwa wa Mtuwa, kamgendera Mtambika Mkulu gwa Numba Ngulu ya Mlungu,
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.
na mawankulu ga luhamba lwa kumaniziya kugenda kwa numba ya Mlungu kulii Dameski, su pakawona wantu wa njira ayi, wapalu kwa wadala, kawatawi na kuwajega Yerusalemu.
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus; and suddenly there shone around a him a light from heaven;
Kumbiti pakaweriti mnjira pakwegera kusoka Dameski, vumu gulangala koseri kulawa kuliyera.
4 and he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
Kaguwa pasi, na kapikanira liziwu lyakumgambira, “Sauli, Sauli! Iwera hashi guntabisiya?”
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he answered, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
Yomberi Sauli kakosiya, “Ndo gaa gwenga Mtuwa?” Nayomberi kamwankula, “Neni Yesu, mweni gwenga gumbeziyiti,” Liziwu lilonga.
6 But arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
“Kumbiti gugoloki na gugendi gwingiri mlushi na aku hagugambilwi shagufiruwa kutenda.”
7 And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but seeing no one.
Wantu walii yawaweriti wamwanja pamuhera na Sauli wagolokiti palii, waweriti wahera lya kutakula, wapikiniriti lilii liziwu kumbiti wamwona ndiri 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.
Sauli kagolokiti, na pakatumuliti masu gakuwi, kumbiti hakeniwoni shintu shoseri, wantu walii wamlongolera kwa kumkola liwoku mpaka lushi lwa Dameski.
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
Sauli kalivagiti mashaka matatu pota kulola, na shipindi ashi kaliyiti ndiri ama kulanda shoseri.
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.
Su, aku Dameski kuweriti na mfundwa yumu yawamshema Ananiya. Mtuwa kamgambira mawonu, “Ananiya!” Yomberi kamwankula, “Na panu, Mtuwa”.
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,
Mtuwa kamgambira, Gugoloki, gugendi kwana njira yayishemwa longulongu, munumba ya Yuda gumkosiyi muntu kulawa Tarisu yawamshema Sauli, vinu kankuluwa,
12 and hath seen a man, named Ananias, coming in and putting his hand on him, that he might receive sight.
na mumawonu kawona muntu wamshema Ananiya kingira munumba na kumtulira mawoku su kapati kulola kayi.
13 But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how great evils he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem.
Ananiya kankula, “Mtuwa, mpikanira shisoweru sha muntu ayu kulawa kwa wantu wavuwa, mpikanira kuusu madoda gakawatendiriti wantu waku aku Yerusalemu.
14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
Na kiza panu kaweri na utuwa kulawa kwa Watambika Wakulu kuwatula mlikakala woseri yawalishemera litawu lyakuwi.”
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.
Kumbiti mtuwa kamgambira Ananiya, “Gugendi hera, toziya numsyagula kaweri shombu shaneni, kalibweri litawu lyangu kwa maisi na wafalumi wawu kwa wantu wa Israeli.”
16 For I myself will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
“Neni namweni hanumlagiziyi gavuwa kwa ntambu ya litawu 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.
Su, Ananiya kagenda kingira mnumba. Shakapanu katula mawoku gakuwi pampindi pa Sauli, katakula, “Mlongu Sauli, Mtuwa Yesu, yakakulawiriti paweriti mnjira kankwiza panu, kanduma neni su gupati kulola kayi na kumemiziwa Rohu Mnanagala.”
18 And immediately there fell off from his eyes as it were scales; and he received sight, and arose, and was baptized.
Mala, vintu gambira mabaku gatuluka kulawa mmasu mwa Sauli, na kaweza kulola kayi. Kagolokiti na kubatizwa,
19 And having taken some food he was strengthened. And he was some days with the disciples in Damascus.
na pa kuliya shiboga, likakala lyakuwi limwuyira. Sauli katamiti mashaka madidini pamuhera na wafundwa aku Dameski.
20 And immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
Mala kanjiti kubwera pakati pa numba ya Mlungu handa Yesu ndo Mwana gwa Mlungu.
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.
Wantu woseri wampikiniriti walikangasha, watakula, “Hashi, muntu ayu ndo ulaulii yakawahoziyiti walii waweriti wankuluwa kwa litawu ali kulii Yerusalemu? Kayi kiziti panu kaweriti na nfiru ya kuwatula mlikakala wantu hawa na kuwajega kwa Watambika Wakulu!”
22 But Saul gained still more strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
Ata vinu Sauli kazidi kupata makakala, na kwa ntambu handa Yesu ndomweni Kristu, Wayawudi wa aku Dameski wapalanganikiti nakamu.
23 But after many days had passed, the Jews took counsel together to kill him;
Pa mashaka gavuwa gapititi. Wayawudi wajojinikiti na kutenda mpangu gwa kumlaga Sauli.
24 but their plot became known to Saul; and they were even watching the gates day and night to kill him.
Kumbiti Sauli kapatiti shisoweru sha mpangu hagu. Paliwala na pashiru waloliriti milyangu gwa kwingira mlushi lulii wapati kumlaga.
25 But his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
Kumbiti shipindi sha pashiru wafundwa wakuwi wamtoliti, wamsulusiya pasi mnumba kwa lijamanda likulu kwa kupitira lupenyu lwaluweriti mshibambaza.
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 pakasokiti Yerusalemu kajeriti kuliwunga na walii wafundwa. Kumbiti woseri wamtiriti, waweziti ndiri kujimira handa yomberi kaweriti ntumintumi.
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.
Kumbiti Barinaba kiziti kumtola Sauli, kamjega kwa wantumintumi na kawagambira ntambu Sauli pakamwoniti Mtuwa munjira, na ntambu Mtuwa pakayoweriti nayomberi. Kawagambiriti viraa ntambu Sauli pakaweriti kankubwera kwa litawu lya Yesu pota lyoga Dameski kulii.
28 And he was with them going in and out at Jerusalem,
Su, Sauli kalivaga pamuhera na womberi katyangira Yerusalemu yoseri kankubwera shisoweru sha Mtuwa pota lyoga.
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.
Vilaa kayowiriti na kukakatala na Wayawudi wawatakula Shigiriki, kumbiti womberi wajeriti kumlaga.
30 But the brethren obtaining knowledge of it, brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
Walongu walii pawayambuliti shitwatira ashi, wamtoliti Sauli, wamjega Kaisariya, wamleka kagendi zakuwi Tarisu.
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.
Shakapanu shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu, shiweriti na ponga poseri Muyudeya na Galilaya na Samariya. Shitulitwi makakala na shyendereyiti kulikala mukumguwira Mtuwa na kupananwa moyu na Rohu Mnanagala, mawalangu ga shipinga ashi shyongerikiti.
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.
Peteru pakaweriti mwanja kila pahala kasokiti viraa kwa wantu wa Mlungu yawaweriti walivaga Lida.
33 And there he found a certain man named AEneas, who had lain on a bed eight years, and was palsied.
Haku kamwoniti muntu yumu yawamshema Aineya ndomweni kwa shipindi sha vinja vinane kaweriti kagonja mshitanda toziya kaweriti kuleweleka.
34 And Peter said to him, AEneas, Jesus the Christ healeth thee; arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
Peteru kamgambira, Aineya, “Yesu Kristu kakuponiziya, Guyumuki gutandiki shitanda shaku.” Su Aineya kayumuka.
35 And all that dwelt in Lydda and Sharon saw him; and they turned to the Lord.
Wenikaya woseri wa Lida na Sharoni wamwoniti Aineya, na woseri wamwuyira Mtuwa.
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.
Kuweriti na mfundwa yumu mdala, mlushi lwa Yopa, wamshema Tabita kwa Shigiriki ndo Dorikasi mana yakuwi, mbawala. Mdala ayu kaweriti kankutenda viheri na kuwatanga wahushu.
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.
Shipindi ashi payiwera handa kalwala, na kuhowa. Wantu wayigulula nshimba yakuwi, wayigonjeka mushumba mgolofa.
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.
Yopa patali ndiri na Lida, wafundwa pawapikaniriti handa Peteru kaweriti Lida, watuma wantu wawiri kwakuwi na ujumbi, “Gwizi kwatwenga kanongola.”
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.
Su, Peteru kagenda pamuhera nawomberi. Pakasokiti kajegitwi mgolofa ilii mushumba. Aku wakenja wavuwa wamtindira Peteru wankulira na kumlanguziya makoti na nguwu ndozyeni Dorikasi kaweriti kankuzinyawa shipindi pakaweriti mkomu.
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.
Peteru kawalaviyiti kunja woseri, kasuntama, kamluwa Mlungu. Shakapanu kayigalambukira ira nshimba ya ulii yakahowiti, kalonga, “Tabita, Gyumuki.” Nayomberi katumula masu gakuwi,
41 And he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
Peteru kamtanga kugoloka, shakapanu kawashema wantu walii wa Mlungu na walii wakenja, kawayupa pakawera mkomu.
42 And it became known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
Shisoweru sha shitwatira ashi shivuwiti kila pahala aku Yopa, na wantu wavuwa wamjimira Mtuwa.
43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
Peteru kalivagiti mashaka gamu aku Yopa, katama kwa muntu yumu mnyawa gwa lukuli yawamshema Simoni.
