Acts 16
1 And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess which believed; but his father was a Greek.
Paulo mpwalashika ku Debe, walaya ne ku Lusitala, uko kwalikuba shikwiya naumbi, lina lyakendi Timoti. Banyina balikuba Bayuda bashoma Lesa, baishi balikuba bagiliki.
2 The same was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
Banse baku Lusitala ne baku Ikoniya balikumulumba Timoti.
3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those parts: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
Neco Paulo walikuyanda kumumanta kwambeti bendenga pamo. Nomba Bayuda bonse balikwikala uko balikwinshibeti baishi Timoti ni Bagiliki, Paulo walamupalula Timoti.
4 And as they went on their way through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, which had been ordained of the apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem.
Mpobalikuya kupita mu minshi balikuya kubenshibisha bashoma kwambeti, bakonkele milawo yalabikwa ne batumwa, pamo ne bamakulene ba mubungano wa mu Yelusalemu.
5 So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Neco mibungano ya bashoma yalaba ne lushomo lwayuma, busuba ne busuba bantu balatatika kufulilako.
6 And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden of the Holy Ghost to speak the word in Asia;
Paulo ne banendi balapitilila cimpansha ca Fuligiya ne Galatiya, pakwinga Mushimu Uswepa walabakanisha kukambauka maswi a Lesa mucimpansha ca Asiya.
7 and when they were come over against Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia; and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not;
Mpobalashika kunyinsa yacishi ca Misiya, balayanda kwingila mucimpansha ca Bituniya, nsombi Mushimu wa Yesu walabakanisha.
8 and passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
Neco balapitilila Misiya ne kuya kushika ku Tulowa.
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There was a man of Macedonia standing, beseeching him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
Cindi ca mashiku Paulo walabona cimbonimboni camuntu waku Makedoniya, kali wemana ne kusengeti, “Kamutampukilani ku Makedoniya kuno, mwise mutunyamfwe.”
10 And when he had seen the vision, straightway we sought to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.
Pacindi copeleco Paulo mpwalabona muntu mucimbonimboni, twalalibambila bulwendo bwakuya ku Makedoniya, pakwinga twalenshibeti Lesa layandeti twenga akukambauka Mulumbe Waina ku bantu baku Makedoniya.
11 Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
Kufuma ku Tulowa twalenda mubwato kululama ku nsumbu ya Samotilase, mpobwalaca mumene twalapitilila mpaka twalashika ku Niyapoli.
12 and from thence to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a [Roman] colony: and we were in this city tarrying certain days.
Kufuma ku Niyapoli, twalaya ku Filipi, munshi unene wa mucibela ca Makedoniya, walikwendeleshewa ne mfulumende ya Ciloma. Twalekala masuba angi mu munshi uwu.
13 And on the sabbath day we went forth without the gate by a river side, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which were come together.
Pabusuba bwa Sabata twalapulilako kunsa kwamunshi ne kuya ku mulonga uko nkotwali kuyeyeti kuli musena mpobakute kupailila Bayuda. Twalekala panshi katubandika ne batukashi balikuba babungana kopeloko.
14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, to give heed unto the things which were spoken by Paul.
Pakati pabo palikuba mutukashi naumbi, lina lyakendi Lidiya. Kucomwabo niku Tiyatila, ncito yakendi yalikuba yakulisha bikwisa byafubeluka. Walikuba mutukashi wali kupaila Lesa, neco Lesa walamucalula moyo wakendi kwambeti anyumfwishishe ne kushoma ncalikwamba Paulo.
15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there]. And she constrained us.
Lidiya ne bamung'anda yakendi mpobalabatishiwa, walatusengeti, “Mbuli ncemulabono kwambeti nkute lushomo muli Lesa, katuyani kung'anda kwakame muye mwikale nenjame,” Walatukakatisha neco twalaya.
16 And it came to pass, as we were going to the place of prayer, that a certain maid having a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.
Cindi nacimbi mpotwalaya kumusena nkobalikupailila, twalakumanyako mutukashi musebenshi walikuba wekatwa ne mushimu waipa wakulaluka. Kufumina muncito yakendi ya kulaluka, baleli bakendi balikucanamo mali angi.
17 The same following after Paul and us cried out, saying, These men are servants of the Most High God, which proclaim unto you the way of salvation.
Uyu mutukashi walikukonkela Paulo pamo ne njafwe, kabilikisheti, “Bantu aba ni basebenshi ba Lesa Mukulene Wapita Byonse! Balamukambaukilinga nshila yalupulusho.”
18 And this she did for many days. But Paul, being sore troubled, turned and said to the spirit, I charge thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.
Uyu mutukashi walikwinseco kwa masuba angi. Neco Paulo calamucima, walacebuka ne kuwambila mushimu waipa, “Mulina lya Yesu Klistu, ndakwambilinga omushimu waipa, fuma mu muntuyu.” Pacindi copeleco mushimu waipa walapulamo.
19 But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they laid hold on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers,
Baleli bamutukashuyu, mpobalabona kwambeti nteti abacaninenga mali, balekata Paulo ne Sailasi, ne kubakwekweshela kumusena wa makwebo, kubomboloshi.
20 and when they had brought them unto the magistrates, they said, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
Mpobalashika nabo kubeshi kombolosha, balambeti, “Aba bantu ni Bayuda, balapenshe bantu mu munshi mwetu muno.
21 and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to receive, or to observe, being Romans.
Baleyishinga miyambo byabula kusuminishiwa, kayi nkatwelela kwitambula nambi kwikonkela afwe Baloma.”
22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent their garments off them, and commanded to beat them with rods.
Likoto lyalikubapo lyalatatika kuma Paulo ne Sailasi, beshikombolosha milandu nabo ebalapesheti bantu batwamune byakufwala bya Paulo ne Sailasi ne kubambileti, babakwapule bikoti.
23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
Mpobalabakwapula bikoti tunkanda twingi, balabawala mujele ne kwambila mulonda wajele kwambeti abalame cena.
24 who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
Neco pacebo camaswi awa, mulonda wajele walabacalila mucipinda camukati mujele, ne kubapinka myendo yabo pakati pa minkulu ibili.
25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns unto God, and the prisoners were listening to them;
Pakati pa mashiku Paulo ne Sailasi balikupaila, ne kwimbila nyimbo shakutembaula Lesa, bakaili banabo balikunyumfwako.
26 and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison-house were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened; and every one’s bands were loosed.
Mwakutengashila kwalaba mukunkumo wangofu, cakwinseti lulindi lwa ng'anda ya jele yonse lwalatenkana, bisasa byonse byalashonkauka, ncetani nshebalikuba basunga kaili uliyense shalalaka panshi mbwee.
27 And the jailor being roused out of sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword, and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
Mulonda wajele usa mpwalapashamuka, ne kubona bisasa bya jele byonse byashonkauka, walayeyeti bakaili bonse balafwambamo. Walapulisha cibeshi kwambeti alishine.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
Paulo walabilikisheti, “Kotalishina! Twense motuli muno!”
29 And he called for lights, and sprang in, and, trembling for fear, fell down before Paul and Silas,
Mulonda usa walambila naumbi kwambeti alete lampi, walafwambila mukati katutuma njenjenje, ne kuya kuliwala pamyendo ya Paulo ne Sailasi.
30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
Walabapulisha kunsa ne kubepusheti, “Nkambo! Nicani ncetinyinse kwambeti mpuluke?”
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.
Balo balamukumbuleti, “Koshoma muli Mwami Yesu, obe ne ba mung'anda yakobe nimukapuluke.”
32 And they spake the word of the Lord unto him, with all that were in his house.
Balamukambaukila maswi a Mwami, pamo ne ba mung'anda yakendi.
33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, immediately.
Nekukabeti calikuba cindi camashiku, walabamanta ne kuya kubasuka bilonda. Popelapo mulonda usa ne ba mung'anda yakendi balabatishiwa.
34 And he brought them up into his house, and set meat before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his house, having believed in God.
Panyuma pakendi, walaya nabo kung'anda yakendi, kuya kubapa cakulya. Mulonda uyu ne bonse ba mung'anda yakendi balakondwa cebo ca kushoma Lesa.
35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
Mpobwalaca, beshikombolosha balatuma bashilikali kuya kumwambila usa mulonda wajele kwambeti, “Basungulule abo bantu benga.”
36 And the jailor reported the words to Paul, [saying], The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore come forth, and go in peace.
Usa mulonda wajele walamwambila Paulo kwambeti, “Beshikombolosha balatumu maswi akwambeti tumusungulule. Neco, kamupulani, kamuyani mulumuno.”
37 But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison; and do they now cast us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and bring us out.
Paulo walabambila bashilikali abo, kwambeti “Batukwapula bikoti bantu bangi kabebelela, kwakubula kutombolosha nanshi, kakuli afwe tobene Loma, kayi batuwala mujele. Inga lino balayandanga kutupulisheconi kampunampuna, nkacelela kubeco sobwe! Kamuyani mubambile balamutumu bese batupulishe bene.”
38 And the serjeants reported these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans;
Basa bashilikali balaya kubambila beshikombolosha maswi awa. Mpobalanyumfweti Paulo ne Sailasi ni bene Loma, balatina.
39 and they came and besought them; and when they had brought them out, they asked them to go away from the city.
Neco beshikombolosha balesa kulilekelela kuli Paulo ne Sailasi. Panyuma pakendi balabapulisha mujele, ne kubasengeti bafumemo mu munshi uwo.
40 And they went out of the prison, and entered into [the house of] Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
Paulo ne Sailasi mpobalapula mujele, balabwelela ku ng'anda kwa Lidiya, nkobalakabonana ne banabo. Panyuma pakubayuminisha, balafuma mu mushi.
