Acts 16
1 He came to Derbe and Lystra; and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess who believed, but his father was a Greek.
Paulu kaziti Deribi na Listira, kweni katamiti mfundwa yumu yawamshema Timotewu. Mawu gwakuwi mweni vira kaweriti ntundami, kaweriti Myawudi, kumbiti tati gwakuwi kaweriti mgiriki.
2 The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.
Timotewu kaweriti na nzyumi ngulu pakati pa walii walongu wa Listira na Ikoniu.
3 Paul wanted to have him go out with him, and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
Paulu kafiriti Timotewu kalikoli na yomberi mumwanja, hangu kamyingiziyiti jandu. Katenditi hangu toziya Wayawudi woseri watamiti seemu ayi wavimaniti handa tati gwakuwi Timotewu kaweriti Mgiriki.
4 As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
Pawaweriti wankuwuya mlushi zilii wawapananiti wantu malagaliru galii gagalaviyitwi na wantumintumi na wazewi kulii Yerusalemu, wawagambira wantu wagajimiri.
5 So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Su shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu shiziditi kugangamala munjimiru na shiyongerekiti nentu kila lishaka.
6 When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
Wawuyiriti Seemu za Firigiya na Galatiya toziya Rohu Mnanagala kawaluusu ndiri kubwera ujumbi awu kumkoa gwa Asiya.
7 When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit didn’t allow them.
Pawayiziti mumbaka zya Misiya, wajeriti kwingira kumkoa Bituniya, kumbiti Rohu gwa Yesu kawaluusu ndiri.
8 Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
Su, wapitiriti Misiya, wagenda longulongu mpaka Trowa.
9 A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him and saying, “Come over into Macedonia and help us.”
Pashiru panu. Paulu kawoniti maonu geni kamwoniti muntu yumu gwa Makedoniya kagoloka palii na kumluwa, “Guloki, gwizi Makedoniya gwakatutangatiri.”
10 When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the Good News to them.
Katepu pa Paulu kuwona maonu aga, tulitanditi kugenda Makedoniya pota kusherewa, tuwera na nakaka handa Mlungu katushema tuwabweleri shisoweru shiwagira.
11 Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
Kulawa Trowa, twamwanja longulongu mpaka Samotiraki na Shirawu yakuwi tusulusiya nanga Neopoli.
12 and from there to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the foremost of the district, a Roman colony. We were staying some days in this city.
Kulawa aku, tugenditi mpaka Filipi, Lushi lya Wilaya ya kwanja ya Makedoniya, na weni viraa ndo Koloni lya Warumi. Tutamiti mulushi alu mashaka gamu.
13 On the Sabbath day we went outside of the city by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.
Lishaka lya kwoyera tulawiti kunja ku Lushi, tugenda mmbeku ya lushemba lweni tulihola kuwera ndo pahala pa kuluwa Mlungu. Tulikaliti, tuyowera na wadala wajojinikiti pahala panu.
14 A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us. The Lord opened her heart to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.
Muwamu wa walii yawatupikiniriti kaweriti mdala yumu mguwira Mlungu yawamshema Lidiya mwenikaya gwa Tuatira, mweni kaweriti kankuwuza nguwu za shitani za langi ya zambalawu. Mtuwa kavuguliti moyu gwakuwi ata kaviyanga visoweru vilii Paulu vyakaweriti katakula.
15 When she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.” So she persuaded us.
Shakapanu yomberi pamuhera na wantu wa numba yakuwi wabatizwa. Na yomberi katuluwa pakatakula, “Payiwera mjimira nakaka handa numjimira Mtuwa, mwizi ukaya kwaneni mlikali.” Katuhimiziya tugendi.
16 As we were going to prayer, a certain girl having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune telling.
Lishaka limu, patuweriti twankugenda pahali pa kuluwa Mlungu, mhinja yumu yakaweriti na wamshera wana likakala lwa kutunga kaliwoniti na twenga Mhinja ayu kaweriti kankuwapanana watuwa wakuwi mpiya zitangala kwa kutunga gwakuwi.
17 Following Paul and us, she cried out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us a way of salvation!”
Su, muhinga ayu kamwiziriti Paulu na twenga, kabotanga na kutakula, “Wantu awa ndo wantumintumi wa Mlungu Mkulu. Wankuwabwelera njira ya ulopoziya.”
18 She was doing this for many days. But Paul, becoming greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” It came out that very hour.
Kaweri kankutenda hangu kwa mashaka gatangala ata lishaka limu Paulu kakalariti, kamgalambukira na kumgambira shamshera ayu, “Nukugambira kwa litawu lya Yesu Kristu, gumlawi ayu!” Palaa palii shamshera kamlawa.
19 But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.
Su watuwa wa muhinga ulii pawawoniti kuwera litumbiru lwawu lya kupata mpiya lipera, wawakamuliti Paulu na Sila, wawakwega mpaka paweru, kuulongolu kwa wakulu.
20 When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men, being Jews, are agitating our city
Wasitaki kwa watoza pawatakula, “wantu awa ndo Wayawudi na watenda fuju mulushi lwetu.
21 and advocate customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.”
Wankufunda shitiba sheni twenga wenikaya wa Rumi tuluusiwa ndiri kushijimira pota kushifuta.”
22 The multitude rose up together against them and the magistrates tore their clothes from them, then commanded them to be beaten with rods.
Shipinga sha wantu shingiriti na womberi, shiwakomanga. Na watoza walii wawavula nguwa zawu kwa likakala, wahimiziya wasyatangwi viboku.
23 When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.
Pakukomwa nentu watatirwa mnumba, na njagira gwa shibetubetu kahimiziwa kuwatula pasi pa ulolera mkulu.
24 Having received such a command, he threw them into the inner prison and secured their feet in the stocks.
Kulawirana na malagaliru aga, mnjagira ayu kawatuliti mushumba kati nakamu sha shibetubetu na kugatawa magulu gawu mushibawu.
25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
Pakakwegera na pashiru ligonu Paulu na Sila waweriti wankumluwa Mlungu na kuyimba nyimbu za kumzyuma Mlungu, aku watatirwa wamonga wawera wankupikanira.
26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were loosened.
Vumu, kulawiriti lilendemeru likulu lya litapaka libegiziya liyanjiru lya shibetubetu. Su, milyangu yoseri ivuguka na minyololu yayiwatawiti watatirwa awa ilekana.
27 The jailer, 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.
Mlolera gwa shibetubetu pakayumukiti na kuyiwona milyangu ya shibetubetu ivugulwa, kaliholiti handa watatirwa woseri waweriti watoloka, na hangu kausomola upanga wakuwi, kafiriti kulilaga.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, “Don’t harm yourself, for we are all here!”
Kumbiti Paulu kashema kwa liziwu likulu, “Kotukulitenda gwamweni toziya twenga twawoseri twa panu.”
29 He called for lights, sprang in, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,
Pakamshemiti kala muntu kajegi limuliku, mnjagira gwa shibetubetu katugiriti mnumba, kaliyasa paulongolu pa magulu ga Paulu na Sila agawu kankulendemera kwa lyoga.
30 brought them out, and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
Shakapanu kawalonguziya kunja, kawakosiya, “Mwatuwa, ndendi shishi mbati kulopoziwa?”
31 They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
Womberi wamwankula, “Gumjimiri Mtuwa Yesu na gwenga hagulopoziwi pamuhera na kaya yaku yoseri.”
32 They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.
Su, wamubweleriti shisoweru sha Mtuwa yomberi pamhera na walongu wakuwi.
33 He took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.
Mnjagira ulii kawatoliti saa iraa ilii ya pashiru kawagulula vironda vyawu, shakapanu yomberi na walongu wakuwi woseri kawabatiza pala palii.
34 He brought them up into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly with all his household, having believed in God.
Shakapanu kawatola Paula na Sila ukaya kwakuwi, kawayupa shiboga. Yomberi na walongu wakuwi woseri watenda shereku toziya vinu waweriti wamjimira Mlungu.
35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, “Let those men go.”
Shirawu yakuwi mandawira, watoza wawatumiti maafisa wawu pawalonga, “muwavuguliri wantu walii.”
36 The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out and go in peace.”
Mjagira ulii gwa shibetubetu kamupananiti shisoweru Paulu, “Watoza watumiti ujumbi su mvugulilwi. Vinu muweza kulawa na kugenda zenu kwa ponga.”
37 But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly without a trial, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison! Do they now release us secretly? No, most certainly, but let them come themselves and bring us out!”
Kumbiti Paulu kamwakuliti. “Eti shishi? Tembera tuweriti ndiri na likosa, watusyatangiti viboku paweru twenga ndo wana lushi wa Rumi. Kayi, watuyingiziyiti mnumba na vinu wafira kutuvugulira kwa bada! Ata padidini! Ndo mpaka weni wayizi panu watuvuguliri.”
38 The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,
Maafisa awa wawagambiriti visoweru watoza kuusu shitwatira ashi, naomberi pawapikaniriti handa Paulu na Sila waweriti weni kaya wa Rumi, watiriti.
39 and they came and begged them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.
Hangu, wagenditi kuwaluwa na pawawalaviiti kala mnumba wawaluwiti wawuki mulushi lulii.
40 They went out of the prison and entered into Lydia’s house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, then departed.
Paulu na Sila walawiti mushibetubetu, wagenditi ukaya kwa Lidiya. Aku waliwoniti na shipinga sha waumini na pawawagambiriti kala visoweru vya kuwayupa moyu wawuka.
