< Acts 16 >

1 Then he came to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a certain woman, who was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:
uPaulo nai wakapembya ga nu ku Derbe nu ku Listra; hangi goza, pang'wanso ai ukoli nu mumanyisigwa nuitangwa Timotheo, ingi muhumba nai utugilwe nu nyinya nua kiyahudi naiza ingi mu huiili nu tata nuakwe ingi Mugriki.
2 Who was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
Antu aku Listra ni Ikonia ai amukuiie iziza.
3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those quarters: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
uPaulo ai umuloilwe akuile iti muhinzo nu ng'wenso, uugwa akamuhola ku mutwala i kidamu ku nsoko a Ayahudi nai akoli uko kuiti ihi ai amulingile kina u tata nuakwe ingi Mugriki
4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees to keep, that were ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
Nai akatula alongoe ai akiile mu isali nu kupumya i malago ku matekeelo iti kina i malago nanso ai akilisigwe ni itumi ni anyampala uko ku Yerusalemu.
5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Iti gwa i matekeelo aka komisigwa ku u huiili nao nai ahuiie akongeeleka ku ngele kila luhuku.
6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia,
uPaulo ni auya akalongola ku Filigia ni Galilaya, kuiti u Ng'wau Ng'welu nuang'wa Itunda ai uagiiye kutanantya u lukani uko kijimbo nila Asia.
7 After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit allowed them not.
Nai akahumbeela ku Misia, ai agemile kulongola ku Bithinia, kuiti u Ng'wau Ng'welu nuang'wa Yesu aka agilya.
8 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.
Ku lulo akakila i Misia akapembya kupikiila kisali nika Troa.
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, beseeching him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
Muloto ai umupumie uPaulo utiku, ai ukoli muntu nua ku Makedonia wimikile, ukimitanga nu kuligitya “Pembyi mukuaiilye kunu ku Makedonia.”
10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.
uPaulo nai wakihenga u muloto, itungo ki kizepiilya kulongola ku Makedonia, aze ulingile kina Itunda ai ukitangile kulongola ku atanantilya inkani ninza.
11 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;
Iti gwa kikahega kupuma ku Troa, kikalongola kukilinkania ku Samothrake, nu luhiku nai lutyatiie kikapika kisali nika Neapoli.
12 And from there to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days.
Kupuma papo kikalongola ku Filipi naza ingi king'wi a kisali nika Makedonia, kisali nikangulu mu wilaya nu uhumi nua Kirumi hangi ki kikie mahiku kituunga.
13 And on the sabbath day we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was accustomed to be made; and we sat down, and spoke to the women who resorted there.
Luhiku nula kusupya, aikulongoe kunzi a mumpita ku nzila a mongo, nkinka naiza kusigiie yikatula ni kianza nika kitumila i malompi. Ki kikie pihi nu kuligitya ni ana kisungu nai apembilye palung'wi.
14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended to the things which were spoken by Paul.
Musungu ung'wi nuitangwaa Lidia, mugulya nzambarau, kupuma mu kisali nika Tiatira, munya kumikumbikila Itunda, ai ukutegeeye, Mukulu ai umulugue i nkolo akwe nu kuikila ukendegeeli i makani nai atambuwe nu 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.
Ze yakilaa kogigwa, ng'wenso ni ito nilakwe lihi, ai ukusingilye wazeligitya “anga ize manihenga kina unene ingi ni muhuiili mu Mukulu, uugwa kumusinja mingile nu kikie kitalane.” Akakusinja nangulu.
16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain maid possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
Ikatula kina, nai katula kulongoe kianza nika kulompa, munanso ung'wi nai watulaa nu hing'wi nua ulingi akatankana nu sese. ai wimuletela u mukulu nuakwe nsailo idu na kulota.
17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, who show to us the way of salvation.
Umusungu uyu ai umutyatile uPaulo palung'wi nu sese, akakua iyogo nu kuligitya, “Awa i agoha ingi anyamilimo ang'wa Itunda niiza Mukulu, niakumutanantilya unyenye i nkani nia ugunwa.”
18 And this she did many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.
Ai witumile iti ku mahiku idu, kuiti uPaulo waze watakigwa ni ntendo nanso, ai upilukile kinyuma nu kumutambuila u hung'wi, “Ku ulagiilya ku lina nilang'a Yesu umupume mukati akwe.” Nu ng'wenso nkua ing'wi wakapuma nu kumuleka.
19 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace to the rulers,
Akulu akwe nai akihenga nia kina isigo nila nsailo niao lahega, ai a ambile uPaulo nu Sila nu kuakweha misoko ntongeela a anya uhumi.
20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
Nai aka apisha ku a lamuli, ai aligitilye, “Awa agoha ingi Ayahudi hangi akusasha minyomo ukulu mu kisali kitu.
21 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
Akumanyisa makani naiza shanga ilagiilyo usese kumasingiilya ang'wi kumatyata anga Arumi.
22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates tore off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.
Iumbi lika anyansukila nsuta uPaulo nu Sila nu kuatugula nu kulagiilya anyukwe iboko.
23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
Ze ya kilaa kunyukwa iboko idu, mu kadulumu nu kumulagiilya u asikali nua kadulumu kuansunja ikende.
24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
Ze yakilaa kusingiilya ilagiilyo nilanso, uasikali nua kadulumu ai uagumie mu shumba nika mukati a kadulumu nu kuatunga i migulu ao mu nkika nai uaikile.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises to God: and the prisoners heard them.
Itungo nila utiku wigingu, uPaulo nu Sila akatula akulompa nu kimba mimbo akumukulya Itunda, kunu ia tungwa auya aze a ategeeye,
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.
Kupumpugiilya, ikapumila itetemeko ikulu nu musingi nua kadulumu ukahingisigwa, i milango a kadulumu ikaluguka, ni minyororo a atungwa ihi ikatoligwa.
27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had fled.
uMusunja nua kadulumu ai u ukile kupuma mu tulo nu kihenga i milango a kadulumu iluguwe; itigwa wakahola i mpanga nuakwe ndogoelyo ai walowa kibulaga ku nsoko ai usigile i atungwa ihi akondya kutigana.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
Kuiti, uPaulo wakazogolya ku luli lukulu, wazeligitya, “leka kilemaalya ku nsoko kihi kukoli i kianza apa.”
29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
uMusunja nua kadulumu ai ulompile i ntala iletwe hangi wakingila mukati a kadulumu ku ukau, wazekagata nu kitumba, waka agwila uPaulo nu Sila,
30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
nu kuapumya kunzi a kadulumu nu kuligitya, “Akulu, nitume ntuni ndije ku gunika?”
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Ni enso akamutambuila, “Mu huiile uMukulu uYesu nu ewe ukugunika palung'wi ni ito nilako.”
32 And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
Ai ituntile u lukani nula Mukulu kitalakwe, palung'wi ni antu ihi nia mi ito nilakwe.
33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, without delay.
uMusunja nua kadulumu ai uahoile utiku wuwo nu kuoja nkika nai alemaae, nuanso palung'wi ni antu nia mi ito nilakwe itungo akogigwa.
34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
Waka aleta uPaulo nu Sila mi ito nilakwe nu kuatengela indya. Nu ng'wenso akatula nu ulowa ukulu palung'wi ni antu a mi ito nilakwe ku nsoko ai amuhuiila Itunda.
35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the officers, saying, Let those men go.
Nai ikatula mung'wi, alamuli ai alagiiye lukani ku uyo u musunja nua kadulumu azeligitya, “Wa alekele i antu awo alongole.”
36 And the keeper of the prison told this saying to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.
uMusunja nua kadulumu akamupindula uPaulo migulya nkani nianso nia kina, “iAlamuli ai alagiiye lukani ndekele muhege; iti gwa pumi kunzi hangi mulongole ku u lyuuku.”
37 But Paul said to them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privately? nay verily; but let them come themselves and bring us out.
Kuiti uPaulo waka aila, “Ai akukuile pi galagalo, antu naza ingi Arumi shanga aku ulamula hangi ai alamue ku ugumila mu kadulumu; halafu itungili aloilwe ku upumya ku kinkunku? Ishi, shanga ikuhumika, Enso akola aze ku upumya nkika apa.”
38 And the officers told these words to the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.
iAsunja aka apindula i alamuli migulya a makani nanso, i alamuli akitumba nangaluu pang'wanso nai akalinga kina uPaulo nu Sila ingi Arumi.
39 And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.
iAlamuli akapembya nu kuasinja apume, hangi nai aka apumya kunzi a kadulumu, ai a alompile uPaulo nu Sila apume kunzi a kisali ni kao.
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.
Ku lulo uPaulo nu Sila akapuma kunzi a kadulumu akapembya mi ito nilang'wa Lidia. uPaulo nu Sila nai akaihenga i anya ndugu, ai akinyie inkolo hangi uugwa kuhega mu kisali ni kanso.
