Acts 9
1 But Saul, still speaking threats even of murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
Kuiti, uSauli, ai ulongolekile kuligitya u utumbani ga nuwu nua nsha ku amanyisigwa a Mukulu, akalongola kung'wa kuhani nu mukulu
2 and asked him for letters for the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
nu kulompa ibada kunsoko a matekeelo uko ku Dameski, iti kina anga wamulije muntu nukoli mu nzila iyo, atule mugoha ang'wi musungu, wa atunge nu ku aleta ku Yerusalemu.
3 As he was traveling, it happened that as he came near to Damascus, suddenly there shone all around him a light out of heaven;
Ga nai watula ulongoe muhinzo, ai ipumie kina nai wahumbeela ku Dameski, kupumpugiilya ika melya pihi pihii welu kupuma kilunde,'
4 and he fell upon the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
nung'wenso wakagwa pihi hangi akija luli lukumutambuila, “Sauli, Sauli, mbona ukunaja unene?”
5 Saul replied, “Who are you, Lord?” The Lord said, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting;
uSauli akasukiilya, Wi nyenyu u ewe Mukulu? uMukulu akaligitya, “Unene ng'wenso Yesu nuku ntasha;
6 but rise, enter into the city, and it will be told you what you must do.”
Kuiti nyansuka, ingile mu kisali, nu ewe ukutambuilwa nu takiwe kituma.
7 The men who traveled with Saul stood speechless, hearing the voice, but seeing no one.
iAntu awo nai akugenda palung'wi nu Sauli akakilaga ihi twii, aze ategeeye u luli, shanga ikihenga u muntu.
8 Saul arose from the ground, and when he opened his eyes, he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.
uSauli akanyansuka mu ihi nai kunukue i miho akwe, shanga akahuma kihenga i kintu, akamuamba u mukono akamuleta kupikiila ku Dameski.
9 For three days he was without sight, and he neither ate nor drank.
Ku mahiku ataatu shanga ukihenga, shanga ukulya, ang'wi kung'wa.
10 Now there was a disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” He said, “See, I am here, Lord.”
Uugwa ai ukoli u mumanyisigwa ku Dameski i lina nilakwe Anania, uMukulu ai uligitilye nu ng'wenso mu muloto, 'Anania.” Nu kuligitya, “Goza, nkoli apa, Mukulu.
11 The Lord said to him, “Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and at the house of Judas ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying.
“uMukulu akamutambuila, “Nyansuka ulongole mu kisali nikitangwaa Nyofu, nu mu ito nilang'wa Yuda ukolye muntu kupuma ku Tarso, nuitangwaa Sauli; ndogoelyo umoli ukulompa;
12 He has seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in and laying his hands on him, so that he might see again.”
hangi aza umihengile mu muloto u muntu i lina nilakwe Anania ukingila nu kumuikiilya i mikono migulya akwe iti kina walije kihenga.
13 But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to your holy people in Jerusalem.
Kuiti u Anania akasukiilya, “Mukulu, nijaa inkani nia muntu uyu ku antu idu, ku ngele kii nukuatendeela ubi i elu nia uko ku Yerusalemu;
14 He has authority from the chief priests to arrest everyone here who calls upon your name.”
Apa ukete u uhumi kupuma kung'wa kuhani nu mukulu kumuamba kila ung'wi nuenda litanga i lina nilako.
15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine, to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel;
Kuiti uMukulu akamutambuila, “Longola, ku ndogoelyo nuanso ingi kiseme kihoilwe kitolane, walihole ilina nilane ntongeela a anyaingu ni a temi ni ana a Israeli.
16 for I will show him how much he must suffer for the cause of my name.”
Ndogoelyo nikamulagiila nili idu nakumutulika kagigwa ku nsoko a lina nilane.”
17 So Ananias departed, and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road when you were coming, has sent me so that you might receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
uAnania akalongola, akingila umo mito; Akamu ikiilya i mikono akaligitya, Munya ndugu Sauli, uMukulu uYesu, naza ukupumie mu nzila naza watulaa upembilye, undagiiye ulije kihenga hangi wizuligwe u Ng'wau Ng'welu.
18 Immediately something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he received his sight; he arose and was baptized;
Kupumpugiilya ikagwa kupuma mu miho akwe intu anga makulugamba, akalija kihenga, akimika, akogigwa; akalya indya nu kulija ingulu.
19 and he ate and was strengthened. He stayed with the disciples in Damascus for several days.
Akikie palung'wi ni amanyisigwa uko ku Dameski ku mahiku idu.
20 Right away he proclaimed Jesus in the synagogues, saying that he is the Son of God.
Matungo yayo yaayo akamutanantya uYesu mu matekeelo, azeligitya kina u ng'wenso ingi ng'wana wang'wa Itunda.
21 All who heard him were amazed and said, “Is not this the man who destroyed those in Jerusalem who called on this name? He has come here to take them bound to the chief priests.”
Hangi ihi nai igulye ai akuiwe nu kuligitya, “Shanga yuyu nai uabipilye ihi nai itangile i lina ili uko ku Yerusalemu? Hangi apa aza uzile ku isigo nila kuatunga nu kuatwala ku akuhani.”
22 But Saul became more and more powerful, and he was causing distress among the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ.
Kuiti uSauli ai uaiigwe kutanantya nu kuatenda i Ayahudi nai ikiie ku Dameski ahalinkanilwe nu ku kaminkiilya nia kina uyu yuyo Kristo.
23 After many days, the Jews planned together to kill him.
Ze yakilaa mahiku idu, Ayahudi akaika ulamuli palung'wi iti amubulage.
24 But their plan became known to Saul. They watched the gates day and night in order to kill him.
Kuiti isigo lao likakumuka kung'wa Sauli. Akamutugila pa mumpita mung'wi nu utiku alije kumubulaga.
25 But his disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
Kuiti amanyisigwa akwe akamuhola utiku akamusimya kukiila mi ikiligo, akamusimya pihi mu nkapu.
26 When he had come to Jerusalem, Saul attempted to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
Nu Sauli nai wapika ku Yerusalemu, ai ugemile kihanguila ni amanyisigwa; kuiti ai atulaa akumogopa, shanga akahuiila kina ung'wenso ingi mumanyisigwa.
27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and he told them how Saul had seen the Lord on the road and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how at Damascus Saul had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus.
Kuiti uBarnaba akamuhola nu kumutwala ku itumi, Nu kuaganuila kinyauli uSauli ai umuine u Mukulu mu nzila nu Mukulu nai uligitilye nu ng'wenso, ni kinyauli uSauli nai utanantilye ku ukamatiku ku lina nilang'wa Yesu uko ku Dameski.
28 He met with them as they were coming in and going out of Jerusalem. He spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus
Ai utankanile ni enso nai akingila nu kupuma ku Yerusalemu. Akitunta ku ukamatiku ku lina nila Mukulu uYesu,
29 and debated with the Grecian Jews; but they kept trying to kill him.
azikolenkeelya ni Ayahudi nia Kiyunani, kuiti azegema nkua ku nkua kumubulaga.
30 When the brothers learned of this, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus.
Matungo ia luna nai alinga ikani nilanso, akamuhola kupika ku Kaisaria, nu kumutwala alongole ku Tarso.
31 So then, the church throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and was built up; and, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, the church grew in numbers.
Uugwa itekeelo lihi mu Uyahudi, Galilaya ni Samaria, ai latula nu ulyuuku, hangi likazengwa, nu kugenda mu woa nua Mukulu ni ipoelya nila Ng'wau Ng'welu, itekeelo likakula ku kongeeleka ingele.
32 Now it came about that, as Peter went throughout the whole region, he came down also to the believers who lived in the town of Lydda.
Uugwa ai upumie uPetro nai ukoli ukupilima pilima nkika yihi nia mukoa, aka asimiila ahuiili ni ikie mu kisali nika Lida.
33 There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been in his bed for eight years, for he was paralyzed.
Akamihenga kuko muntu ung'wi i lina nilakwe Ainea, muntu uyu watuilee mu ulili myaka munana; ndogoelyo ai watulaa kitele.
34 Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed,” and right away he got up.
uPetro akamuila, “Ainea, uYesu Kristo akugune; Uka hangi witandikilye u ulili nuako,” Nkua yiyo akauka.
35 So everyone who lived in Lydda and in Sharon saw the man and they turned to the Lord.
Ni atu ihi nai ikiie ku Lida ni Sharoni nai amihengile u muntu uyo, ai amupilukie u Mukulu.
36 Now there was in Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which is translated as “Dorcas.” This woman was full of good works and merciful deeds that she did for the poor.
Ai akoli nu mumanyisigwa Yafa nuitangwaaTabitha, niiza limpyanigwe anga “Dorcas.” Uyu musungu ai wizue mulimo ukende ni ntendo nia ukendepwa nai witumaa ku a ula.
37 It came about in those days that she fell sick and died; when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
Ai ipumie mu mahiku nanso ai ulwae nu kusha; nai amukalalya, ai amunankiiye shumba nika migulya nu kumulalisha.
38 Since Lydda was near Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent two men to him, begging him, “Come to us without delay.”
Ku iti i Linda ai atulaa pakupi ni Yafa, ni amanyisigwa ai igulye kina uPetro ai ukoli kuko, ai a alagiiye antu abiili kitalakwe, aze musinja, “Pembya kitaitu bila kutinia.”
39 Peter arose and went with them. When he had arrived, they brought him to the upper room, and all the widows stood by him weeping, showing him the coats and garments that Dorcas had made while she had been with them.
uPetro akauka nu kuhega palung'wi ni enso. Nai wakapika, ai amuletile mu shumba nika migulya. Ni ahimbi ihi ai imikile pakupi nu ng'wenso azelila, azemulagiila ia mujulungu ni ang'wenda naza uDorcas ai uahilitiiye itungo nai ukoli palung'wi ni enso.
40 Peter put them all out of the room, knelt down, and prayed; then, turning to the body, he said, “Tabitha, arise.” Then she opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up.
uPetro aka apumya ihi kunzi a shumba, akatugama akalompa, uugwa akaupilukila u muili, akaligitya, “Tabitha, uka.” Akalugula i miho akwe hangi nai wakamihenga uPetro akikie pihi.
41 Peter then gave her his hand and lifted her up; and when he called the believers and the widows, he presented her alive to them.
Uugwa uPetro akaminkiilya u mukono nuakwe akamunyansula, hangi nai wakaitanga i ahuiili ni ahimbi, akainkiilya kitalao aze mupanga.
42 This matter became known throughout all Joppa, and many people believed on the Lord.
Ikani ili likakumuka i Yafa ihi, ni antu idu akamuhuiila uMukulu.
43 It happened that Peter stayed for many days in Joppa with a man named Simon, a tanner.
Ai ipumie uPetro akikie mahiku idu ku Yafa palung'wi ni muntu nuitangwaa Simioni, muzipya ndili.
