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:
Paulo kabhele bho ahidili Derbe ni Litra; na langayi, pala pajhe ni mwanafunzi jhaakutibhweghe Timotheo, ndo kijana jhaahogoliki ni mabhu ghwa Kiyahudi ambajhe ndo muumini ni dadi munu ndo mgiriki.
2 Who was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
Bhanu bha listra ni Ikonia bhan'shuhudili kinofu.
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.
Paulo andondeghe ili asafiriajhi nakhu, hiyo akantola ni kun'tahiri kwa ndabha jhe bhammanyili kujha dadimuni ndo Mgiriki.
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.
Bho bhilota bhap'elili ku miji nikuhomesya malaghisu ku makanisa ili kughatii malaghisu aghu ghalembibhu ni mitume ni bhasee okhu Yerusalemu.
5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Efyo makanisa ghaimarishibhu mu imani ni bhabhaamini bhajhongesiki kwa idadi khila ligono.
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,
Paulo ni bhajhinu bha kalota firigia ni Galatia kwani Roho ghwa K'yara abhabesili kuhubiri lilobhi okhu ku lijimbo lya Asia.
7 After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit allowed them not.
Bho bhakaribili Misia, bhajaribu kulota Bithinia, lakini Roho ghwa Yesu abhabesili.
8 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.
Kwa hiyo bhakapeta Misi bhakajhida mpaka mji bhwa 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.
Maono ghan'tokili Paulo pakilu, bhajheleni munu ghwa Makedonia ajhemili, akan'kuta ni kujobha, “Muhidayi mutulaidilayi choni 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.
Paulo bho abhwene maono, mara tukakia ndala kulota Makedonia akimanya kujhe K'yara atukutili kulota kubhahubilila injili.
11 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;
Hivyo twabhokili kuhoma Troa twalotili moja kwa moja Samothrake, ni ligono lyalafwatili twafikili mji bhwa 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.
Kuhoma apu tukalota Filipi ambaghyo ndo moja ghya mji bhwa Makedonia, mji muhimu mu wilaya ni utawala bhwa Kirumi ni kutama magono kadhaa.
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.
Ligono lya sabato twalotili kwibhala kulango kwa njela jha kiholo sehemu ambajho tudhanieghe kubeta kujha ni mahali pa kubhombela maombi. Twatamili pasi ni kulongela ni bhamama bhabhahidi pamonga.
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.
N'dala mmonga he akutibhweghe Lidia, n'hemelesajhi ghwa zambarau, kuhoma ku mji bhwa Tiatira, jha ikamwabudu K'yara atupelikisi. Bwana anfunguili muoyo bhwa muene ni kubheka maanani malobhi ghaghajobhibhu ni 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.
Baada jha kubatisibhwa, atusiili ni kujobha, “Kama munibhwene kujha nene na mwaminifu kwa Bwana, basi nikabhasihi mujhingilayi ni kutama kwa nene.”Atusihili kweli.
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:
Ikajha kwamba, bhotwilota mahali pa kus'oka, n'dala mmonga jheajhe ni pepo lya utambuzi abhone ne ni tete. Andetili Bwana ghwa muene faida simehele kwa kubashiri.
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.
N'dala ojho akan'kesya Paulo pamonga ni tete, akajha ipiga kelele ni kujobha, “Abha bhagosi ndo bhatumishi bha K'yara jha ajhe mbaha, bhabhikabhatangasila muenga habari jha wokovu.”
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.
Abhombi naha kwa magono ghamehele, lakini Paulo akajha adadili ni litendo e'lu, ageuki kunyuma ni kun'jobhela pepo'”Nikuamuru kwa lihina lya Yesu umhokayi mugati mwa muene.” Niliene likabhoka ni kundeka mara moja.
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,
Mabwana bha muene bho bhabhuene jha kujha tumaini lya faida jha bhene libhokili, bhabhakamuili Paulo ni Sila ni kubhabunisya mu soko mbele jha bhenye mamlaka.
20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
Bho bhabhafikisi kwa makuhakimu bhakajobha, “Bhagosi abha Bhayahudi na bhisababisya ghasia mbaha mu mji bhwitu.
21 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
Bhimanyisya mambo ambagho sio sheria tete kughapokela wala kughakesya kama Warumi.”
22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates tore off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.
Umati ukabhajhinukila kinyume, Paulo ni Sila, mahakimu bharanuli nghobho sya bhene ni kubhafula ni kuamuru bhatobhibhwayi fiboko.
23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
Baada jha kubhatobha fiboko fimehele, bhakabhasopa mu ligereza ni kuamuru askari bha gereza kubhalenda kinofu.
24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
Baada jha kupokela amri ejhu, askari bha gereza abhasopili mu kichumba kya mugati mu gereza ni kubhakonga magolo gha bhene pa sehemu pa bhabhekibhu.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises to God: and the prisoners heard them.
Bwakati wa kiru kya manane Paulo ni Sila bhakajha bhisoka ni kujhemba nyembu sya kunsifu K'yara, khoni bhafungwa bhangi bhakajha bhipelekesya.
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.
Ghafla kwatokili litetemeko libhaha ni misingi ghya gereza ghyatikisiki, miliangu ghya gereza ghikadenduka, ni minyororo ghya bhafungwa bhoha jhalegesibhu.
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.
Mlinzi ghwa gereza akajhumuka kuhoma mulogono ni kubhona miliangu ghioha ghya gereza jhidendulibhu; hivyo akatola upanga bhwa muene maana alondeghe kwikoma kwandabha afikilireghe bhafungwa bhoha bhatoniiki.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
Lakini Paulo akapiga kelele kwa sauti mbaha, akajobha, “Usikidhuru kwa ndabha twebhoha tujhele mahali apa.
29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
Mlinzi ghwa gereza akas'oka taa siletibhwayi ni kujhingila mugati mu gereza manyata, akajha itetemeka ni kutila akabhabinila Paulo ni Sila,
30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
ni kubhapisya nje jha gereza ni kujobha, “Bhaheshimibhwa, niketakiki ili nibhweijhi kuokoka?
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Na bhene bhakan'jobhela, “Umwamini ajhi Bwana Yesu nabhi wibetekuokoka pamonga ni nyumba jha jhobhi.”
32 And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
Bhajobhi lilobhi lya Bwana kwa muene pamonga ni bhanu bhoha bha pa nyumba jha muene.
33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, without delay.
Mlinzi ghwa gereza akabhatola ke'ru khela ni kubhasambisya sehemu sya bhalamele, muene pamonga ni bhanu bha panyumba pa muene. Mara bhakabatisibhwa.
34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
Akabhaleta Paulo ni Sila kunyumba jha muene ni kubhatengela kyakulya. Ni muene ajhele ni furaha mbaha pamonga ni bhanu bha panyumba jha muene kwandabha bhamwamini K'yara.
35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the officers, saying, Let those men go.
Bho jhilikili pamusi, mahakimu bhatumili ujumbe kwa mlinzi jhola ghwa gereza bhakajobha, “Bharuhusu ajhi bhanu bhala bhalotayi.”
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.
Mlinzi ghwa gereza akan'julisha Paulo juu jha malobhi aghu jha kujha, “Mahakimu bhaghisi ujumbe kujha nibharuhusuajhi mulotayi: hivyo mupitayi kwibhala na mulotayi kwa amani.
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.
Lakini Paulo akabhajobhela, “Bhatutobhili hadharani, bhanu ambabho ndo Bharumi bila kutuhukumu na bhaamuili kutusopa mu ligereza; halafu henu bhilonda kutupisya kwa siri? Lepi jhibhwesekana lepi, bhene bhahidayi kutupisya mahali apa.”
38 And the officers told these words to the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.
Bhalinzi bhakabhajulisya mahakimu juu jha malobhi aghu, mahakimu bhatilili sana bhobhamanyili kujha Paulo ni Sila ndo Bharumi.
39 And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.
Mahakimu bhakahida ni kubhasihi bhapitayi, na bhobhabhapisili kwibhala pa gereza, bhabhesokili Paulo ni Sila bhakapita kwibhala kubhoka mu mji obhu.
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.
Kwa hiyo Paulo ni Sila bhakapita kwibhala pa gereza bhakahida kunyumba jha Lidia. Paulo ni Sila bho bha mbwene ndogo bhabhi bhabhapelimu muoyo ni kisha kubhoka mu mji obhu.
