Acts 16

1 And he came to Derbe and Lystra, and lo, a certain disciple was there, by name Timotheus son of a certain woman, a believing Jewess, but of a father, a Greek,

Che Paolo ŵaiche ku Debe ni ku Lisita, kweleko ŵatemi mundu jwakunkuya Che Yesu liina lyakwe che Timoseo. Achikulugwe che Timoseo ŵaliji Myahudi nombejo ŵaliji mundu jwakwakulupilila Che Yesu, nambo atatigwe ŵaliji Mgiliki.

2 who was well testified to by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium;

Che Timoseo ŵakunguluchilwaga umboni wambone ni ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵa ku Lisita ni ku Ikonio.

3 this one did Paul wish to go forth with him, and having taken [him], he circumcised him, because of the Jews who are in those places, for they all knew his father — that he was a Greek.

Che Paolo ŵasachile kunjigala che Timoseo mu ulendo wao, nipele ŵambumbesye. Ŵatesile yeleyo ligongo lya Ŵayahudi ŵaŵaliji mu ilambo mo pakuŵa wose ŵamanyilile kuti atatigwe che Timoseo ŵaliji Mgiliki.

4 And as they were going on through the cities, they were delivering to them the decrees to keep, that have been judged by the apostles and the elders who [are] in Jerusalem,

Paŵapitaga mmisi jila ŵapele ŵandu malajisyo gaŵakopwesye achinduna ni achachekulu ku Yelusalemu kula ni kwasalila kuti agakamulichisye.

5 then, indeed, were the assemblies established in the faith, and were abounding in number every day;

Nipele, mipingo ja ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito japundile kulimbangana mu chikulupi, ni winji wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu wajonjesyeche lyuŵa ni lyuŵa.

6 and having gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,

Che Paolo ni achinjakwe ŵapite mu ilambo ya ku Filigia ni ku Galatia ligongo Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵakanyisye akaalalichila ŵandu utenga wo mu chilambo cha ku Asia.

7 having gone toward Mysia, they were trying to go on toward Bithynia, and the Spirit did not suffer them,

Paŵaiche mmipika ja ku Misia, ŵasachile kwaula ku Bisinia, nambo Mbumu ju Che Yesu ŵakanyisye.

8 and having passed by Mysia, they came down to Troas.

Nipele ŵapelengenye Misia ni kutuluchila ku Tuloa.

9 And a vision through the night appeared to Paul — a certain man of Macedonia was standing, calling upon him, and saying, 'Having passed through to Macedonia, help us;' —

Chilo chichocho pecho, che Paolo ŵaiweni yakuwona yati, mundu jwa ku Makedonia ŵajimi achachondelelaga achitiji, “Njomboche, nnyiche ku Makedonia kuntukamusye.”

10 and when he saw the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go forth to Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord hath called us to preach good news to them,

Che Paolo paŵagaweni gelego mu yakuwona, papopo twaliŵichile chile kwaula ku Makedonia pakuŵa twaiweni kuti Akunnungu atuŵilasile tukaalalichile ŵandu Ngani Jambone.

11 having set sail, therefore, from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, on the morrow also to Neapolis,

Kutyochela ku Tuloa twajesile ni ngalaŵa mpaka ku Samotalaki, malaŵi jakwe twaiche ku Neapoli.

12 thence also to Philippi, which is a principal city of the part of Macedonia — a colony. And we were in this city abiding certain days,

Kutyochela kweleko, twajawile mpaka ku Filipi musi wekulungwa wa chilambo cha ku Makedonia ni sooni musi wo waliji musi wautaŵikwe ni Ŵaloma. Twatemi mmusi mo kwa moŵa gampepe.

13 on the sabbath-day also we went forth outside of the city, by a river, where there used to be prayer, and having sat down, we were speaking to the women who came together,

Pa lyuŵa lya Kupumulila twakopweche paasa musi ni twajawile kungulugulu lusulo kutwaganisyaga kuti kwana kwakupopelela. Twatemi ni kukunguluka ni achakongwe ŵaŵasongangene pelepo.

14 and a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, worshipping God, was hearing, whose heart the Lord did open to attend to the things spoken by Paul;

Mwa ŵaŵatupikanilaga ŵala jwapali jwankongwe jwakwapopela Akunnungu liina lyao che Lidia jwa musi wa ku Siatila, juŵasumisyaga iwalo ya ntengo. Ambuje ŵaugwile ntima wakwe kuti akamulisye iŵaŵechetaga che Paolo yo.

15 and when she was baptized, and her household, she did call upon us, saying, 'If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, having entered into my house, remain;' and she constrained us.

Che Lidia paŵabatiswe pamo ni ŵaali mu nyuumba jakwe, ŵatuchondelele achitiji, “Iŵaga nkulola kuti ngwakulupilila Ambuje, njinjilanje mu nyuumba jangu ni kutama mwelemo.” Ni ŵatuchisisye tujaule.

16 And it came to pass in our going on to prayer, a certain maid, having a spirit of Python, did meet us, who brought much employment to her masters by soothsaying,

Lyuŵa limo patwajaulaga kwiuto kwa mapopelelo kula, twasimene ni kapolo mwali jwana lisoka lya kulondola. Mwali jo ŵaliji nkwapa achambujegwe mbiya syesijinji kwa ulondole wakwe.

17 she having followed Paul and us, was crying, saying, 'These men are servants of the Most High God, who declare to us a way of salvation;'

Nipele mwali jo ŵankuiye che Paolo noweji achinyokonyaga kuti, “Ŵandu ŵa ali achikapolo ŵa Akunnungu Ŵakulu. Akunsalila ichinjile pakukulupuswa.”

18 and this she was doing for many days, but Paul having been grieved, and having turned, said to the spirit, 'I command thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come forth from her;' and it came forth the same hour.

Yeleyo ŵatendaga moŵa gamajinji, mbesi lyuŵa limo che Paolo yachimile ni ŵangalauchile ni kulisalila lisoka lyo, “Ngunlamula kwa ulamusi u Che Yesu Kilisito nkopoche mwa mwali ju!” Papopo lisoka lyo lyakopweche.

19 And her masters having seen that the hope of their employment was gone, having caught Paul and Silas, drew [them] to the market-place, unto the rulers,

Nambo achambujegwe mwali jo paŵaiweni kuti chilolelo chao chakupata ipanje chimasile, ŵaakamwile che Paolo ni che Sila ni kwakwekwelemya mpaka pakusumichisya malonda, mmbujo mwa achakulu ŵa musi.

20 and having brought them to the magistrates, they said, 'These men do exceedingly trouble our city, being Jews;

Nipele ŵaapeleche kwa ŵamalamulo achitiji, “Ŵandu ŵa ali Ŵayahudi ŵakuutindiganya musi wetu.

21 and they proclaim customs that are not lawful for us to receive nor to do, being Romans.'

Akwiganya masyoŵelo gangaŵajilwa mmalajisyo getu uweji ŵatuli Ŵaloma ngatukukombola kwajitichisya atamuno kuipanganya.”

22 And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates having torn their garments from them, were commanding to beat [them] with rods,

Mpingo wa ŵandu walumbikene ni kwaputa che Paolo ni che Sila, nipele ŵamalamulo ŵala ŵaausile che Paolo ni che Sila iwalo yao ni kwalamula aputikwe mbokola.

23 many blows also having laid upon them, they cast them to prison, having given charge to the jailor to keep them safely,

Paŵamasile kwaputa kwannope ŵaaŵisile mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ni kunlajisya jwakulindilila nyuumba jakutaŵilwa kuti ŵaagose uchenene.

24 who such a charge having received, did put them to the inner prison, and their feet made fast in the stocks.

Nombe paŵagapochele malajisyo gala, ŵaaŵisile che Paolo ni che Sila mu chuumba cha munkati nnope mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa jila ni ŵaataŵilile makongolo gao pa likongwa.

25 And at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were hearing them,

Nambo pasikati chilo che Paolo ni che Sila ŵaliji nkwapopela Akunnungu ni kwajimbila nyimbo sya kwalapa ŵaŵataŵikwe ŵane ŵala ŵaliji nkwapikanila.

26 and suddenly a great earthquake came, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, opened also presently were all the doors, and of all — the bands were loosed;

Chisisimuchile chakopochele chindendemesi chekulungwa cha lisi chati misingi ja nyuumba jakutaŵilwa jatinganyiche. Papopo minango jose jaugwiche ni minyolo jijaataŵile ŵaŵataŵikwe ŵala jakutwiche.

27 and the jailor having come out of sleep, and having seen the doors of the prison open, having drawn a sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to be fled,

Jwakulindilila nyuumba jakutaŵilwa jula paŵajimwiche ni kujiwona minango ja nyuumba jeugule ŵaganisisye kuti ŵaŵataŵikwe wose ŵatisile. Nipele ŵasolomwele upanga wakwe, ŵatiji aliulaje.

28 and Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, 'Thou mayest not do thyself any harm, for we are all here.'

Nambo che Paolo ŵambilasile kwa liloŵe lyekulungwa, “Nkaliulaga pakuŵa wose tuli mmumu.”

29 And, having asked for a light, he sprang in, and trembling he fell down before Paul and Silas,

Jwakulindilila nyuumba jakutaŵilwa jula paŵaŵendile apegwe lumuli, ŵaguluchile nkati ni kugwa mmbujo pa makongolo ga che Paolo ni che Sila achitetemelaga kwa lipamba.

30 and having brought them forth, said, 'Sirs, what must I do — that I may be saved?'

Nipele ŵaajigele che Paolo ni che Sila ni kwakoposya paasa ni kwausya, “Achambuje, ana ikuumajila kupanganya chichi pakuti ngulupuche?”

31 and they said, 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved — thou and thy house;'

Che Paolo ni che Sila ŵajanjile, “Mwakulupilile Ambuje Che Yesu, ni pachinchikulupuswa mmwejo ni ŵaali mu nyuumba jenu.”

32 and they spake to him the word of the Lord, and to all those in his household;

Nipele che Paolo ni che Sila ŵanlalichile Liloŵe lya Ambuje jwakulindilila jo pamo ni wose ŵaali mu nyuumba jakwe.

33 and having taken them, in that hour of the night, he did bathe [them] from the blows, and was baptized, himself and all his presently,

Katema kakoko ka chilo jwakulindilila jwa nyuumba jakutaŵilwa jo ŵaajigele che Paolo ni che Sila ni kugajosya maŵanga gao. Nipele ŵabatiswe jwakulindilila pamo ni wose ŵaali mu nyuumba jakwe.

34 having brought them also into his house, he set food before [them], and was glad with all the household, he having believed in God.

Nipele jwakulindilila jwa nyuumba jakutaŵilwa jo ŵaajigele che Paolo ni che Sila ni kwajausya ku nyuumba jakwe ni ŵapele chakulya. Ni nsyene pamo ni ŵaali mu nyuumba jakwe ŵasangalele kwannope pakuŵa sano akwakulupilila Akunnungu.

35 And day having come, the magistrates sent the rod-bearers, saying, 'Let those men go;'

Pakwachele ŵamalamulo ŵa Chiloma ŵalajisye achakulu ŵa ŵakulindilila nyuumba jakutaŵilwa achitiji, “Mwalechele ŵandu ŵala ajaulangane.”

36 and the jailor told these words unto Paul — 'The magistrates have sent, that ye may be let go; now, therefore, having gone forth go on in peace;'

Jwakulindilila nyuumba jakutaŵilwa jula ŵansalile che Paolo ngani jo achitiji, “Ŵamalamulo alajisye utenga kuti alakwe ni che Sila nlecheleswe. Sambano njaule kwa chitendewele.”

37 and Paul said to them, 'Having beaten us publicly uncondemned — men, Romans being — they did cast [us] to prison, and now privately do they cast us forth! why no! but having come themselves, let them bring us forth.'

Nambo che Paolo ŵansalile jwankulu jwa ŵakulindilila jo, “Nkuti uli? Nachiŵamuno nganitukola magambo, atuputile mbokola pelanga akuno uweji tuli Ŵaloma. Sooni ŵatuŵisile mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ni sambano ana akutukoposya kwachisyepela? Ngwamba! Akusachilwa aichanje achinsyene kukutukoposya.”

38 And the rod-bearers told to the magistrates these sayings, and they were afraid, having heard that they are Romans,

Achakulu ŵa ŵakulindilila ŵala ŵajawile kukwasalila ŵamalamulo yankati ngani jo, ni ŵamalamulo ŵala paŵapilikene kuti che Paolo ni che Sila ŵaliji Ŵaloma, ŵajogwepe.

39 and having come, they besought them, and having brought [them] forth, they were asking [them] to go forth from the city;

Nipele, ŵaiche ni kwachondelela ŵanyawo kuti ŵalechelesye ni paŵakopwesye ŵachondelele kuti akopoche pa musi wo.

40 and they, having gone forth out of the prison, entered into [the house of] Lydia, and having seen the brethren, they comforted them, and went forth.

Che Paolo ni che Sila ŵakopweche mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ni kwaula ku nyuumba ji che Lidia. Kweleko ŵasimene ni ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Che Yesu ŵakamulisye mitima ni ŵatyosile.
