Acts 9
1 But Saul, yet breathing out threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
Mayindu ma Sawuli maba kaka mu yamisa ayi mu vonda minlonguki mi Pfumu, wuyenda kuidi Pfumu yi zinganga Nzambi ku Yelusalemi
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.
ayi wunlomba minkanda minata mu zinzo zi zikhutukunu zi Damasi muingi kabaka bukangila babakala voti baketo, bobo banlandakana nzila yi Pfumu ayi kuba nata bakangama ku Yelusalemi.
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus; and suddenly there shone around a him a light from heaven;
Bu kaba mu nzila, buna weka nduka tula ku Damasi, kazimbukila kiezilakikienzuka mu diyilu banga lusiemo.
4 and he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
Bu kabua va tsi, wuwa mbembo yinkamba: —A Sawuli e! A Sawuli e! A bila mbi wulembo ndiamisina e?
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he answered, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
Sawuli wuvutula: —Pfumu, ngeyo widi nani e? Pfumu wunkamba: —Minu Yesu diodi wunyamisanga!
6 But arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
Vayi telama buabu! Kota ku divula, kuawu maba kamba mambu mawu fueti vanga!
7 And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but seeing no one.
Batu boso baba yandi mu nzila batelama, basia baka kadi dituba ko, bawa mbembov ayi basia mona mutu ko.
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.
Sawuli wutelama. Meso mandi maba mazibuka vayi kasia mona ko. Bansimbidila mu koko, bannata ku Damasi.
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
Bilumbu bitatu kasia kadi mona, kasia dia voti kadi nua.
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.
Nlonguki wumosi wuba ku Damasi, dizina diandi Ananiasi. Pfumu wummonikina mu tsongolo ayi wuntela: —“Ananiasi!” Niandi wuvutula: —Tala, Minu kawu Pfumu!
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,
Bosi Pfumu wunkamba: —Telama! Yenda mu nzila yoyi bantedilanga: “nzila yilulama” ayi tomba mutu wumosi bantedilanga Sawuli muisi Talisi widi ku nzo Yuda. Vayi tala mutu wulembo sambila
12 and hath seen a man, named Ananias, coming in and putting his hand on him, that he might receive sight.
ayi wumueni mu tsongolo mutu wumosi, bantedilanga Ananiasiwukotidi ayi wuntetikidi mioko mu diambu di kabuela mona diaka.
13 But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how great evils he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem.
Ananiasi wuvutula: —A Pfumu! Ndiwilu batu bawombo banyolukila mambu ma mutu wowo ayi mabienga momo kavangidi banlongo baku mu Yelusalemi.
14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
Beki kuaku lulendo lubedi kuidi bapfumu banganga Nzambi, lukangisila babo bansambilanga dizina diaku.
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.
Vayi Pfumu wunkamba: —Yenda bila ndisobudi mutu wowo mu kutsadila; wela zabikisa dizina diama kuidi Bapakanu, mintinu ayi kuidi bana ba Iseli.
16 For I myself will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
Bosi ndiela kummonisa mambu mawombo momo mafueti kummonisa phasi mu diambu di dizina diama.
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.
Ananiasi wuyenda; wukota muna nzo beni, wutetika Sawuli mioko ayi wunkamba: —A khombꞌama Sawuli, Pfumu Yesu diodi dimonikini mu nzila yoyi wuyizidi, wuthumini muingi wubuela mona diaka ayi wuba wuwala mu pheve Yinlongo.
18 And immediately there fell off from his eyes as it were scales; and he received sight, and arose, and was baptized.
Vana vawu, bima bidoduka mu meso mandi biba banga makua ma mbizi yi nlangu. Wutona buela mona. Buna wutelama ayi wubotama.
19 And having taken some food he was strengthened. And he was some days with the disciples in Damascus.
Bu kadia zingolo zivutuka. Sawuli wukala ndambu bilumbu ayi minlonguki ku Damasi.
20 And immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
Ayi mu bilumbu bina kaka wutona longa mu zinzo zi zikhutukunu ti Yesu niandi Muana Nzambi.
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.
Batu bobo banwa basimina buwombo ayi batuba: —A beno! Niandi ko mutu wowo wubedi yamisanga batu bobo babedi sambilanga dizina diodi ku Yelusalemi ayi wuyizila kuaku mu lukanu lu kuba nata bakanga kuidi bapfumu banganga Nzambi e?
22 But Saul gained still more strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
Vayi Sawuli wukinda mu lulendo wukangisa miunu mi Bayuda baba kalanga ku Damasi bu kaba kuba sudikisanga mu bukiedika ti Yesu niandi Klisto.
23 But after many days had passed, the Jews took counsel together to kill him;
Bilumbu biwombo bu bivioka, Bayuda bawizana mu kumvonda.
24 but their plot became known to Saul; and they were even watching the gates day and night to kill him.
Vayi Sawuli wuwa lufiefi beni. Basunga builu ayi muini, mielo mi divula muingi bamvonda.
25 But his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
Vayi, va builu, minlonguki miandi minkuludila mu pani mu yenda baka ki luphangu lu divula.
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.
Bu katula ku Yelusalemi, wutomba fubakana ayi minlonguki, vayi baboso bammona tsisi. Bila basia kikinina ko ti weka nlonguki.
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.
Vayi Balinabasi wumbonga ayi wunnata kuidi bamvuala. Wuba kamba buevi Sawuli kamonina Pfumu mu nzila yi Damasi; Pfumu yoyi yinyolukila ayi buevi kalongila mu kambu tsisi, mu dizina di Yesu ku Damasi.
28 And he was with them going in and out at Jerusalem,
Wuba kuenda ayi kuiza yawu va kimosi ku Yelusalemi ayi wuyolukila mu kambu tsisi mu dizina di Pfumu.
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.
Wusolula, wufindana ziphaka ayi Bayuda bobo baba tubanga Kingeleki vayi bawu batomba kumvonda.
30 But the brethren obtaining knowledge of it, brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
Vayi bakhomba bu zizaba diambu beni, zinnata ku Sezali bosi zimfidisa ku Talise.
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.
Dibundu diba mu ndembama mu Yuda dioso, mu Ngalili ayi mu Samali bu dikindusu ayi bu dikinzika Pfumu. Batu babuelama mu lusadusu lu Pheve yinlongo.
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.
Bu diba ti Piela wudiengila mu zunga kioso, wuyenda tala banlongo bobo baba kalanga ku Lide.
33 And there he found a certain man named AEneas, who had lain on a bed eight years, and was palsied.
Kuna kamonina mutu wumosi dizina diandi Ene, wuba dikoka. Nana di mimvu kabela wuleka va mbukꞌandi.
34 And Peter said to him, AEneas, Jesus the Christ healeth thee; arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
Piela wunkamba: —A Ene! Yesu beti tedila Klisto wubelusidi. Telama kuaku! Kubika mbukꞌaku ngeyo veka. Vana vawu wutelama.
35 And all that dwelt in Lydda and Sharon saw him; and they turned to the Lord.
Batu boso baba kalanga ku Lide ayi ku Saloni bammona ayi babaluka kuidi Pfumu.
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.
Kuba nlonguki wumosi wu nketo ku Yope, baba tedilanga Tabita bu dinsundula Dolukasi wuba nketo wu mavanga mamboti ayi minsukami miwombo kasadisa.
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.
Vayi yiyiza ba mu bilumbu beni, bu kabakana kimbevo buna wufua. Bu bamana kunsukula, bantula ku vinga kidi ku yilu banga.
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.
Sumbu Lide diba difikama ayi Yope, minlonguki bu miwa ti Piela widi ku divula di Yope, buna mifidisa babakala buadi kuidi niandi ayi bankamba: —Kadi zingila mu kuiza kuidi beto.
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.
Piela wutelama, wuyenda yawu. Buna katumbu tula, bannata ku vinga kidi ku yilu banga. Mafuola moso mayiza ku kaba mu bidilu. Mammonisa biyunga ayi minledi; bima bioso biobi katunga bu kabedi yawu va kimosi.
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.
Vayi Piela bu katotula batu boso ku nganda, buna wufukama, wusambila, wutadisa ku ndambu kubela mvumbi ayi wutuba: —Tabita! Kotuka kuaku! Mbadi Tabita wuzibula meso; Wumona Piela, wuvuanda.
41 And he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
Piela wunsimba mu koko, wuntelimisa, wutumisa banlongo ayi mafuola; bosi wuba monisa niandi wumoyo.
42 And it became known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
Tsangu beni yimana tembakana mu Yope dioso ayi bawombo bawilukila Pfumu.
43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
Piela wukala bilumbu biwombo ku Yope, ku nzo Simoni diodi diba salanga kisalu ki vanganga bima mu minkanda mi bibulu.
