Acts 8
1 And Saul was consenting to his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all dispersed throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.
Saule avena mukuzuminzana ni ifu lya kwe. Imi kuzwa yelyo izuva chikwazwa kunyandiswa ahulu kwe kerenke ivena mwa Jerusalema; imi vavazumini vose vava hasa neri muzi vaka za Judeya ni Samariya, mbwita vulyo va apositola.
2 And devout men carried Stephen [to his burial], and made great lamentation over him.
Vakwame vavazumini ni kusepahala vava ziki Sitefani ni kumulira ahulu.
3 As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and hauling men and women committed [them] to prison.
Kono Saule ava nyandisi ahulu inkerenke; ava kuyenda mwi nzuvo ni nzuvo ni kuzwisa mo vakwame ni vanakazi, ni kuba vika mutorongo.
4 Therefore they that were dispersed went every where preaching the word.
Kono vava zumini vavali kuhasane chiva yenda ni va kutaza linzwi.
5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ to them.
Filipi ava yendi kumuleñi wa Samariya ni kuka kutaza kuvali za Keresite.
6 And the people with one accord gave heed to those things which Philip spoke, hearing and seeing the miracles which he performed.
Chinavungi chavantu havazuwa ni kuvona zisupo zava pangi Filipi, vava tekerezi ahulu hamwina kuza vali kuwamba.
7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
Imi ku vantu vangi vava zizuwi, ihuho zisa chenete zibazwi hanze cho muhuwo mukando; ni vangi vava zuminine luñañali ni ziyanga vonse vava hozwa.
8 And there was great joy in that city.
Mi kuvena ahulu kusangwa muwuna muleneñi.
9 But there was a certain man called Simon, who before in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
Kono kuvena mukwame zumwi mowu muleneñi yavali kusupwa Simoni, uzo yavali kupanganga mabivo kumatangiro; avali ku komasanga ahulu vantu va mwa Samariya, lyinu avali kulihinda kuva muntu yo tompeha.
10 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
Vonse vena Samariya, kuzwa kumunini ni kumukando, vavali kumuteka ahulu; vava wambi, “Uzu mukwame je ziho ze Ireeza zi supwa vukando”.
11 And to him they had regard, because that for a long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
Vava tekereze kwali, kakuti avali kuva komosa ahulu che nako inde ni mavivo a kwe.
12 But when they believed Philip, preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women.
Kono aho hachi vazumine izo zavava kutazi Filipi kuyamana ni evangeli yo muvuso we Ireeza ni zina lya Jesu keresite, vava kolovezwa, vonse vanakazi ni vakwame.
13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
Imi ni Simoni naye vulyo ava zumini: hacha mana ku kolovezwa, cha zwira havusu ni va ni Filipi; hacha vona imakazo ni mitendo ni ipangiwa, ava komokiswa ahulu.
14 Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John:
Linu haveza kuzuwa va apositola mwa Jerusalema kuti vena Samariya vava tambuli linzwi lye Ireeza, chiva tumina kuvali Pitorosi ni Johani.
15 Who, when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit:
Hachiva shetumukere kuvali, chiveza kuva laperera, kuti vawole ku tambula Luhuho Lunjolola.
16 (For as yet he had fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
Kakuti bwita heyo inako, Luhuho Lunjolola kena luveni kukeza hewulu lyavo; vavali kukolovezwe vulyo mwi zina lya Simwine Jesu.
17 Then they laid [their] hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Linu Pitorosi ni Johani chiva vavika mayaza avo hewulu lyavo, mi chiva tambula Luhuho Lunjolola.
18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money,
Linu Simoni hacha vona kuti Luhuho Lunjolola luva hewa cho kuvikiwa cho kuvikiwa cha' mayaza, ava apositola chava newira ishereñi.
19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.
Cha wamba, “Munihe izi ziho, name, iri kuti yense uni kambika manyanza hali a tambule Luhuho lunjolola.”
20 But Peter said to him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
Kono Pitorosi chata kwali, “I silivera yanko i sinyehe nawe, kakuti u hupula kuwana impo ze Ireeza cha mashereñi.
21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
kawina chiyemba chimwi mwezi zintu, kakuti inkulo yanko kayina hande ni Ireeza.
22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee.
Cwale he uvake kovu vuvi bwako, mi ulapere kwa Simwine, iri kuti mwendi mwa wondere kumi nahano ye nkulo yanko.
23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and [in] the bond of iniquity.
Kakuti ni kubwene kuti wina chifanu chovu vengi ni mumawenge e chivi.
24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.
Simoni cha mwitava ni kumuti, “Uni laperere kwa Simwine, iri kuti zonse zintu ziwa wamba kanji zipangahali kwangu.”
25 And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
Aho Pitorosi ni Johani haci vamana kuwamba linzwi lya Simwine, chiva vola kwa Jerusalema; mwinzira, vavali kukutaza evangeri muminzi mingi ya mwa Samariya.
26 And the angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise, and go towards the south, to the way that goeth down from Jerusalem to Gaza, which is desert.
Hanu iñiroyi lya Simwine chiya wamba kwa Filipi ni kuti, “Katuke ni kuyenda kwa mbowera kwi nzira iya kuku shetumukera kuzwa kwa Jerusalema kuya kwa Gaza.”( Iyi nzira ina mwi halaupa.)
27 And he arose, and went: and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem to worship,
Ava katuki ni kuyenda. Muvone, kuvena mukwame youzwa kwa Etopiya, chikombwa cho muyendisi mukando Candesi, mulena wa Etopiya. Avali muvavaleli we chifumu chakwe chose. Avali kwizite kwa Jerusalema kuku lapera.
28 Was returning; and sitting in his chariot, read Isaiah the prophet.
Chavali kuvola mi ave kere mwi kochikara ya kwe, mi avali kuya vuvala mwi vuka yo muporofita Isaya.
29 Then the Spirit said to Philip, Go near and join thyself to this chariot.
Luhuho chilwa ti kwa Filipi, “Yende kwali mi wi kale hafuhi ni kochikara yakwe.”
30 And Philip ran thither to [him], and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
Linu Filipi cha tilira kwali, ni kumuzuwa na vala Isaya muporofita, ni kuti, “Mane uzuwisisa cho kwete kuvala?”
31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up, and sit with him.
Mu Esopiya chati, “Niwola vule, mwendi zumwi ani tondeze?”Ava kumbiri Filipi kwiza kwi chira naye mwi kochikara ni kwi kala naye.
32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so he opened not his mouth:
Linu vuvali vwe ñolo lyavali kuya vuvala mu Esopiya avali ili, “Avali twaliwa uvu imberere kukwi hayiwa; mi uvu imbere havusu i totwere havusu bwa fumwayo, ka zasumuni kaholo kakwe:
33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
muma sukuluko a kwe i katulo yakwe iva zwiswa kwali: Jeni yata wambe lusika lwakwe? vuhalo bwakwe vuva hindwa hansi.”
34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
Linu mu Enuki cha vuza Filipi, “Ni kukumbira, jini yavali kuwamba muporofita? avali kuwamba iye mwine, kamba avali kuwamba zumwi muntu?”
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached to him Jesus.
Filipi cha tanga kuwamba; ava tangi neli iñolo mwa Isaya kukutaza kuyamana ni Jesu kwa li.
36 And as they went on [their] way, they came to a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, [here is] water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
Sina ha vavali kuya vuyenda munzira, vava kezi ha menzi; mu Enuki chati, “Vone, hena menzi hanu; chizi chini kanina kuku kolovezwa?”
37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
Linu mu Etopiya cha laya i kochikara ku zimana.
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
Chiva yenda hasi mumezi, bonse Filipi ni muenuki, imi Filipi cha mukoloveza.
39 And when they had come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
Hava zuvuka hanze ya menzi, Luhuho lwa Simwine chi lwa hinda Filipi; mu enuki kena ava muvoni hape, mi ava yendi mwi nzira yakwe na sangitwe.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through, he preached in all the cities, till he came to Cesarea.
Kono Filipi ava ka voneki kwa Azotusi. A vakayendi mwe zina zikiriti ni kukutaza Ivangeri kumi leneñi yonse, mbwita hakasika kwa Caseriya.
