Acts 9
1 But Saul, yet breathing out threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
Saulo usa walapitilisha kuyosha sha kushina bantu balikukonkela kwiyisha kwa Yesu. Walaya kuli Mukulene wa Beshimilumbo,
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.
kuya kusenga makalata akumusuminisha kuyanawo ku manda akupaililamo ku Damasiko, kwambeti acanako nabambi bantu bacikonkela kwiyisha kwa Yesu, babe batuloba, nambi batukashi abasunge ne kubaleta ku Yelusalemu.
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus; and suddenly there shone around a him a light from heaven;
Mpobalashika pepi ne ku Damasiko mu bulwendo bwakendi, mwakutengashila mumuni watuba tuu walafuma kwilu ne ku mushinguluka.
4 and he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
Walawa panshi ne ku nyumfwa liswi lya kwambeti, “Saulo, Saulo, ulampenshelenga cani?”
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he answered, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
Saulo walepusheti, “Inga njamwe bani Mwami?” Liswi lyalamukumbuleti, “Njame Yesu ngolapenshenga.
6 But arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
Nyamuka, koya wingile mu munshi uwu, ni bakwambile ca kwinsa.”
7 And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but seeing no one.
Bantu mbwalikuba nabo balemana, babula ca kwambapo, maswi awo bali kwanyumfwa, nsombi nkabalikumubona muntu walikwamba.
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.
Saulo walanyamuka, nsombi mpwalakapula menso, calala kubona cili conse. Neco banendi mbwalikuba nabo balengila nendi mu munshi wa Damasiko kabali bamwikatilila ku cikasa.
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
Walekala masuba atatu katabono, katali cakulya, nambi kunwa cili conse.
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.
Lino mu Damasiko mwalikuba shikwiya naumbi lina lyakendi Hananiya. Uyo walabona mucimbonimboni Mwami kamukuweti, “Hananiya!” Nendi walakumbuleti, “Mwami!”
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,
Lino Mwami wala mwambileti, “Nyamuka, wenga kunshila njobakute kukuweti, ‘Nshila ya Tandabala.’ Washika ku ng'anda ya Yuda, wenga wipusheko muntu wa ku Taliso, lina lyakendi ni Saulo. Lapailinga pacino cindi.
12 and hath seen a man, named Ananias, coming in and putting his hand on him, that he might receive sight.
Mucimbonimboni walabona muntu lina lyakendi ni Hananiya walesa ku bika makasa akendi palyendiye kwambeti akonshe kubona 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.
Mpwalanyumfweco Hananiya walambeti, “Mwami, bantu bangi balang'ambili sha muntuyu, walabenshila bintu byaipa bantu benu ku Yelusalemu.
14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
Lino kayi uli kuno pakusuminishiwa ne beshimilumbo bamakulene kwambeti ese abasunge abo bonse bakute kukambilila amwe.”
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.
Nsombi nendi Mwami Yesu walamwambileti, “Koya, pakwinga muntuyu ndamusala, ni musebenshi wakame eshakakambaukile mishobo imbi sha Lina lyakame, bami ne bene Islayeli.
16 For I myself will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
Ame nindimuboneshe bishikubaba bingi mbyeshi akanyumfwe pacebo ca lina lyakame.”
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.
Popelapo Hananiya walanyamuka ne kuya kwingila mu ng'anda umo mwalikuba Saulo. Walabika makasa pali Saulo ne kwambeti, “Mwanse wame Saulo, Mwami Yesu uyo wakubonekela pa nshila mpo wesanga kuno, lantumu. Layandangeti utatike kubona, kayi eti wisulilwe ne Mushimu Uswepa.”
18 And immediately there fell off from his eyes as it were scales; and he received sight, and arose, and was baptized.
Popelapo mu menso mwa Saulo mwalafuma bintu bilyeti mamba answi. Walatatika kubona kayi, walanyamuka ne kubatishiwa.
19 And having taken some food he was strengthened. And he was some days with the disciples in Damascus.
Panyuma pakulya cakulya, walaba ne ngofu. Saulo walekala ne beshikwiya baku Damasiko kwa masuba ang'ana.
20 And immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
Mwakutataya cindi, Saulo walatatika kukambauka mu manda akupaililamo a Bayuda, kwambeti Yesu ni Mwanendi Lesa.
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.
Bantu bonse balikumunyumfwa balakankamana ne kwipushana bene, “Sena uyu nteyo usa walikushina bantu bashoma Yesu ku Yelusalemu? Sena kuno nte leshili kwisa kusunga bantu bamushobo uwu bonse ne kubatwala kuli beshimilumbo bamakulene?”
22 But Saul gained still more strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
Ngofu sha Saulo sha kukambauka shali kuya kukonempa, walapwisha mano Bayuda balikwikala mu Damasiko, ne kubashinineti Yesu endiye Mupulushi Walaiwa.
23 But after many days had passed, the Jews took counsel together to kill him;
Mpopalapita cindi citali, Bayuda balapanganeti bamushine Saulo.
24 but their plot became known to Saul; and they were even watching the gates day and night to kill him.
Bantu balikuyanda kumushina bali kumupembelela munshi ne mashiku pacishinga ca mushi kwambeti bamushine. Nomba nabambi bantu balaya kumwambila nshebalapangana.
25 But his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
Neco pacindi ca mashiku beshikwiya bakendi balamubika mu mutanga ne kumupulishila pa cibwanko ca lubumbu lwa lilinga.
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.
Mpwalashika ku Yelusalemu, Saulo walelekesha kusankana pamo ne beshikwiya. Nomba bonse balikuba ne buyowa, balikutonshanya kwambeti neye ni shikwiya.
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.
Popelapo Banabasi, walamumanta Saulo ne kumutwala kuli batumwa. Banabasi walabambila batumwa mbuli Saulo mwalabonena Mwami Yesu pa nshila ya ku Damasiko, ne Mwami ncalamwambila, kayi walabambila ncali kukambauka Saulo mulina lya Yesu mwakubula buyowa ku Damasiko.
28 And he was with them going in and out at Jerusalem,
Neco Saulo walekala nabo, walendana mu Yelusalemu monse kaya ku kambauka mulina lya Mwami Yesu mwakubula buyowa.
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.
Saulo walikwamba ne kutotekeshana nabo Bayuda bali kwamba Cigiliki. Pacebo ico, naboyo balelekesha kumushina.
30 But the brethren obtaining knowledge of it, brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
Beshikwiya mpobala nyumfweco, balaya pamo nendi ku Kaisaleya, ne kumutuma ku Taliso.
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.
Mibungano yonse yaku Yudeya, ne ku Galileya, kayi ne ku Samaliya yalekala mubote. Kayi yalayumayuma, bantu balafula, pakwinga bantu cindi conse balikupa bulemu Mwami. Kayi Mushimu Uswepa walikubayuminisha.
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.
Petulo mpwali kwendana uku ne uku, walakekala pamo ne bantu ba Lesa baku Lida.
33 And there he found a certain man named AEneas, who had lain on a bed eight years, and was palsied.
Uko nkwalacana mutuloba naumbi lina lyakendi Eneya, walikuba watontola biso bya mubili, walikonowa pampasa kwa byaka bisanu ne bitatu, kwakubula kupunduka.
34 And Peter said to him, AEneas, Jesus the Christ healeth thee; arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
Petulo walamwambileti, “Eneya, Yesu Klistu lakusengulunga. Punduka, yansula mpasa yakobe.” Popelapo walapunduka.
35 And all that dwelt in Lydda and Sharon saw him; and they turned to the Lord.
Mpobalamubona bantu bonse bekala mu Lida, ne mu Saloni, balashoma Mwami.
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.
Ku Yopa kwalikuba shikwiya naumbi mutukashi, lina lya kendi Tabita mu Cigiliki ni Dolika. Wali kwinsa ncito shingi shaina, wali kunyamfwa bapenshi.
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.
Pacindico Dolika walakolwa ne kufwa. Bantu balasambisha citumbi, ne kuconeka mu cipinda capelu mu ng'anda.
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.
Ku Yopa kwalikuba pepi ne ku Lida, neco beshikwiya mpobalanyumfweti Petulo uli ku Lida, balatuma bantu babili kuya kumwambileti, “Tulapapata, kamwisani kuno lino lino.”
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.
Petulo walanyamuka ne kuya nabo. Mpwalashika, balamushindikila mu cipinda ca pelu cisa. Walacanamo batukashi bangi bamukalubingi kabalila, balamushinguluka Petulo ne kumulesha minjila ne byakufwala nabimbi mbyali kutunga Dolika, cindi ncalikuba muyumi.
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.
Petulo walasenga bonse mwa bulemu kwambeti benga pansa. Walasuntama panshi ne kupaila. Walacebukila kwalikuba citumbi cisa ne kwambeti, “Tabita, punduka!” Tabita walakapula, mpwalabona Petulo, walekala ne kwikala.
41 And he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
Petulo walamwikata kucikasa ne kumunyamfwilisha kwimana. Petulo walakuwa bantu bonse, bashoma Lesa, ne basa batukashi bamukalubingi, ne kumutwala Tabita kulyendibo kali muyumi ntaa!
42 And it became known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
Makani awa mpwalanyumfwika ku Yopa, bantu bangi balashoma Mwami Lesa.
43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
Petulo walekala masuba angi ku Yopa ku ng'anda ya muntu naumbi lina lyakendi Shimoni, kanyuka mpaya.
