Ntendo nia itumi 16
1 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.
Paul came to Derbe and then to Lystra, where he found a disciple named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewish woman and a Greek father.
2 Antu aku Listra ni Ikonia ai amukuiie iziza.
The brothers in Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him.
3 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
Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, so he took him and circumcised him on account of the Jews in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
4 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.
As they went from town to town, they delivered the decisions handed down by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the people to obey.
5 Iti gwa i matekeelo aka komisigwa ku u huiili nao nai ahuiie akongeeleka ku ngele kila luhuku.
So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily in numbers.
6 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.
After the Holy Spirit had prevented them from speaking the word in the province of Asia, they traveled through the region of Phrygia and Galatia.
7 Nai akahumbeela ku Misia, ai agemile kulongola ku Bithinia, kuiti u Ng'wau Ng'welu nuang'wa Yesu aka agilya.
And when they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not permit them.
8 Ku lulo akakila i Misia akapembya kupikiila kisali nika Troa.
So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas.
9 Muloto ai umupumie uPaulo utiku, ai ukoli muntu nua ku Makedonia wimikile, ukimitanga nu kuligitya “Pembyi mukuaiilye kunu ku Makedonia.”
During the night, Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and pleading with him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”
10 uPaulo nai wakihenga u muloto, itungo ki kizepiilya kulongola ku Makedonia, aze ulingile kina Itunda ai ukitangile kulongola ku atanantilya inkani ninza.
As soon as Paul had seen the vision, we got ready to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
11 Iti gwa kikahega kupuma ku Troa, kikalongola kukilinkania ku Samothrake, nu luhiku nai lutyatiie kikapika kisali nika Neapoli.
We sailed from Troas straight to Samothrace, and the following day on to Neapolis.
12 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.
From there we went to the Roman colony of Philippi, the leading city of that district of Macedonia. And we stayed there several days.
13 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.
On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate along the river, where it was customary to find a place of prayer. After sitting down, we spoke to the women who had gathered there.
14 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.
Among those listening was a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message.
15 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.
And when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, “If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house.” And she persuaded us.
16 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.
One day as we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl with a spirit of divination, who earned a large income for her masters by fortune-telling.
17 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.”
This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation!”
18 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.
She continued this for many days. Eventually Paul grew so aggravated that he turned and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” And the spirit left her at that very moment.
19 Akulu akwe nai akihenga nia kina isigo nila nsailo niao lahega, ai a ambile uPaulo nu Sila nu kuakweha misoko ntongeela a anya uhumi.
When the girl’s owners saw that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them before the authorities in the marketplace.
20 Nai aka apisha ku a lamuli, ai aligitilye, “Awa agoha ingi Ayahudi hangi akusasha minyomo ukulu mu kisali kitu.
They brought them to the magistrates and said, “These men are Jews and are throwing our city into turmoil
21 Akumanyisa makani naiza shanga ilagiilyo usese kumasingiilya ang'wi kumatyata anga Arumi.
by promoting customs that are unlawful for us Romans to adopt or practice.”
22 Iumbi lika anyansukila nsuta uPaulo nu Sila nu kuatugula nu kulagiilya anyukwe iboko.
The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered that they be stripped and beaten with rods.
23 Ze ya kilaa kunyukwa iboko idu, mu kadulumu nu kumulagiilya u asikali nua kadulumu kuansunja ikende.
And after striking them with many blows, they threw them into prison and ordered the jailer to guard them securely.
24 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.
On receiving this order, he placed them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.
25 Itungo nila utiku wigingu, uPaulo nu Sila akatula akulompa nu kimba mimbo akumukulya Itunda, kunu ia tungwa auya aze a ategeeye,
About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.
26 Kupumpugiilya, ikapumila itetemeko ikulu nu musingi nua kadulumu ukahingisigwa, i milango a kadulumu ikaluguka, ni minyororo a atungwa ihi ikatoligwa.
Suddenly a strong earthquake shook the foundations of the prison. At once all the doors flew open and everyone’s chains came loose.
27 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.
When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, presuming that the prisoners had escaped.
28 Kuiti, uPaulo wakazogolya ku luli lukulu, wazeligitya, “leka kilemaalya ku nsoko kihi kukoli i kianza apa.”
But Paul called out in a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself! We are all here!”
29 uMusunja nua kadulumu ai ulompile i ntala iletwe hangi wakingila mukati a kadulumu ku ukau, wazekagata nu kitumba, waka agwila uPaulo nu Sila,
Calling for lights, the jailer rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas.
30 nu kuapumya kunzi a kadulumu nu kuligitya, “Akulu, nitume ntuni ndije ku gunika?”
Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31 Ni enso akamutambuila, “Mu huiile uMukulu uYesu nu ewe ukugunika palung'wi ni ito nilako.”
They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household.”
32 Ai ituntile u lukani nula Mukulu kitalakwe, palung'wi ni antu ihi nia mi ito nilakwe.
Then Paul and Silas spoke the word of the Lord to him and to everyone in his house.
33 uMusunja nua kadulumu ai uahoile utiku wuwo nu kuoja nkika nai alemaae, nuanso palung'wi ni antu nia mi ito nilakwe itungo akogigwa.
At that hour of the night, the jailer took them and washed their wounds. And without delay, he and all his household were baptized.
34 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.
Then he brought them into his home and set a meal before them. So he and all his household rejoiced that they had come to believe in God.
35 Nai ikatula mung'wi, alamuli ai alagiiye lukani ku uyo u musunja nua kadulumu azeligitya, “Wa alekele i antu awo alongole.”
When daylight came, the magistrates sent their officers with the order: “Release those men.”
36 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.”
The jailer informed Paul: “The magistrates have sent orders to release you. Now you may go on your way in peace.”
37 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.”
But Paul said to the officers, “They beat us publicly without a trial and threw us into prison, even though we are Roman citizens. And now do they want to send us away secretly? Absolutely not! Let them come themselves and escort us out!”
38 iAsunja aka apindula i alamuli migulya a makani nanso, i alamuli akitumba nangaluu pang'wanso nai akalinga kina uPaulo nu Sila ingi Arumi.
So the officers relayed this message to the magistrates, who were alarmed to hear that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens.
39 iAlamuli akapembya nu kuasinja apume, hangi nai aka apumya kunzi a kadulumu, ai a alompile uPaulo nu Sila apume kunzi a kisali ni kao.
They came to appease them and led them out, requesting that they leave the city.
40 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.
After Paul and Silas came out of the prison, they went to Lydia’s house to see the brothers and encourage them. Then they left the city.
