Ntendo nia itumi 9
1 Kuiti, uSauli, ai ulongolekile kuligitya u utumbani ga nuwu nua nsha ku amanyisigwa a Mukulu, akalongola kung'wa kuhani nu mukulu
Meanwhile Saul, still breathing out threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
2 nu kulompa ibada kunsoko a matekeelo uko ku Dameski, iti kina anga wamulije muntu nukoli mu nzila iyo, atule mugoha ang'wi musungu, wa atunge nu ku aleta ku Yerusalemu.
and asked for letters from him to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them to Jerusalem as prisoners.
3 Ga nai watula ulongoe muhinzo, ai ipumie kina nai wahumbeela ku Dameski, kupumpugiilya ika melya pihi pihii welu kupuma kilunde,'
As he was going along, he drew near to Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.
4 nung'wenso wakagwa pihi hangi akija luli lukumutambuila, “Sauli, Sauli, mbona ukunaja unene?”
Falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are yoʋ persecuting me?”
5 uSauli akasukiilya, Wi nyenyu u ewe Mukulu? uMukulu akaligitya, “Unene ng'wenso Yesu nuku ntasha;
Saul said, “Who are yoʋ, Lord?” The Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom yoʋ are persecuting.
6 Kuiti nyansuka, ingile mu kisali, nu ewe ukutambuilwa nu takiwe kituma.
But rise and enter the city, and yoʋ will be told what yoʋ must do.”
7 iAntu awo nai akugenda palung'wi nu Sauli akakilaga ihi twii, aze ategeeye u luli, shanga ikihenga u muntu.
The men who were traveling with Saul stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one.
8 uSauli akanyansuka mu ihi nai kunukue i miho akwe, shanga akahuma kihenga i kintu, akamuamba u mukono akamuleta kupikiila ku Dameski.
Saul rose from the ground, and although his eyes were open, he saw no one. So they led him by the hand and brought him to Damascus.
9 Ku mahiku ataatu shanga ukihenga, shanga ukulya, ang'wi kung'wa.
He went three days without seeing, and neither ate nor drank.
10 Uugwa ai ukoli u mumanyisigwa ku Dameski i lina nilakwe Anania, uMukulu ai uligitilye nu ng'wenso mu muloto, 'Anania.” Nu kuligitya, “Goza, nkoli apa, Mukulu.
Now there was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias.” He said, “Behold, here I am, Lord.”
11 “uMukulu akamutambuila, “Nyansuka ulongole mu kisali nikitangwaa Nyofu, nu mu ito nilang'wa Yuda ukolye muntu kupuma ku Tarso, nuitangwaa Sauli; ndogoelyo umoli ukulompa;
Then the Lord said to him, “Get up and go to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas look for a man of Tarsus named Saul. For behold, he is praying,
12 hangi aza umihengile mu muloto u muntu i lina nilakwe Anania ukingila nu kumuikiilya i mikono migulya akwe iti kina walije kihenga.
and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and laying his hand on him so that he might receive his sight.”
13 Kuiti u Anania akasukiilya, “Mukulu, nijaa inkani nia muntu uyu ku antu idu, ku ngele kii nukuatendeela ubi i elu nia uko ku Yerusalemu;
But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about how much evil this man has done to yoʋr saints in Jerusalem.
14 Apa ukete u uhumi kupuma kung'wa kuhani nu mukulu kumuamba kila ung'wi nuenda litanga i lina nilako.
And here he has authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call upon yoʋr name.”
15 Kuiti uMukulu akamutambuila, “Longola, ku ndogoelyo nuanso ingi kiseme kihoilwe kitolane, walihole ilina nilane ntongeela a anyaingu ni a temi ni ana a Israeli.
But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a vessel chosen by me to bring my name before Gentiles, kings, and the sons of Israel.
16 Ndogoelyo nikamulagiila nili idu nakumutulika kagigwa ku nsoko a lina nilane.”
I will show him how much he must suffer for my name's sake.”
17 uAnania akalongola, akingila umo mito; Akamu ikiilya i mikono akaligitya, Munya ndugu Sauli, uMukulu uYesu, naza ukupumie mu nzila naza watulaa upembilye, undagiiye ulije kihenga hangi wizuligwe u Ng'wau Ng'welu.
So Ananias went and entered the house. Laying his hands on Saul, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to yoʋ on the road by which yoʋ came, has sent me so that yoʋ may receive yoʋr sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
18 Kupumpugiilya ikagwa kupuma mu miho akwe intu anga makulugamba, akalija kihenga, akimika, akogigwa; akalya indya nu kulija ingulu.
Immediately something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he received his sight. Then he rose and was baptized,
19 Akikie palung'wi ni amanyisigwa uko ku Dameski ku mahiku idu.
and after taking some food, he was strengthened. For several days Saul was with the disciples in Damascus.
20 Matungo yayo yaayo akamutanantya uYesu mu matekeelo, azeligitya kina u ng'wenso ingi ng'wana wang'wa Itunda.
Immediately he began preaching in the synagogues that the Christ is the Son of God.
21 Hangi ihi nai igulye ai akuiwe nu kuligitya, “Shanga yuyu nai uabipilye ihi nai itangile i lina ili uko ku Yerusalemu? Hangi apa aza uzile ku isigo nila kuatunga nu kuatwala ku akuhani.”
All who heard it were amazed and said, “Is this not the man who in Jerusalem tried to destroy those who call upon this name, and has he not come here for the purpose of bringing them as prisoners to the chief priests?”
22 Kuiti uSauli ai uaiigwe kutanantya nu kuatenda i Ayahudi nai ikiie ku Dameski ahalinkanilwe nu ku kaminkiilya nia kina uyu yuyo Kristo.
But Saul grew stronger and kept confounding the Jews who dwelt in Damascus, proving that this man Jesus is the Christ.
23 Ze yakilaa mahiku idu, Ayahudi akaika ulamuli palung'wi iti amubulage.
When many days had past, the Jews took counsel together to kill him,
24 Kuiti isigo lao likakumuka kung'wa Sauli. Akamutugila pa mumpita mung'wi nu utiku alije kumubulaga.
but their plot became known to Saul. They started watching the gates both day and night so that they might kill him.
25 Kuiti amanyisigwa akwe akamuhola utiku akamusimya kukiila mi ikiligo, akamusimya pihi mu nkapu.
But the disciples took him by night and let him down through a window in the city wall, lowering him in a basket.
26 Nu Sauli nai wapika ku Yerusalemu, ai ugemile kihanguila ni amanyisigwa; kuiti ai atulaa akumogopa, shanga akahuiila kina ung'wenso ingi mumanyisigwa.
When Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him because they did not believe that he was a disciple.
27 Kuiti uBarnaba akamuhola nu kumutwala ku itumi, Nu kuaganuila kinyauli uSauli ai umuine u Mukulu mu nzila nu Mukulu nai uligitilye nu ng'wenso, ni kinyauli uSauli nai utanantilye ku ukamatiku ku lina nilang'wa Yesu uko ku Dameski.
Barnabas, however, took him and brought him to the apostles. He related to them how Saul had seen the Lord on the road and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how he had been preaching boldly in Damascus in the name of Jesus.
28 Ai utankanile ni enso nai akingila nu kupuma ku Yerusalemu. Akitunta ku ukamatiku ku lina nila Mukulu uYesu,
So Saul stayed with them and would go into Jerusalem and speak boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus.
29 azikolenkeelya ni Ayahudi nia Kiyunani, kuiti azegema nkua ku nkua kumubulaga.
He would also speak and debate with the Hellenists, but they were trying to kill him.
30 Matungo ia luna nai alinga ikani nilanso, akamuhola kupika ku Kaisaria, nu kumutwala alongole ku Tarso.
When the brothers found out about it, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
31 Uugwa itekeelo lihi mu Uyahudi, Galilaya ni Samaria, ai latula nu ulyuuku, hangi likazengwa, nu kugenda mu woa nua Mukulu ni ipoelya nila Ng'wau Ng'welu, itekeelo likakula ku kongeeleka ingele.
So the churches throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were being strengthened. Continuing in the fear of the Lord and in the encouragement of the Holy Spirit, they were being multiplied.
32 Uugwa ai upumie uPetro nai ukoli ukupilima pilima nkika yihi nia mukoa, aka asimiila ahuiili ni ikie mu kisali nika Lida.
Now as Peter was traveling from place to place, he went down to the saints who dwelt in Lydda.
33 Akamihenga kuko muntu ung'wi i lina nilakwe Ainea, muntu uyu watuilee mu ulili myaka munana; ndogoelyo ai watulaa kitele.
There he found a man named Aeneas, who was paralyzed and had been confined to a mat for eight years.
34 uPetro akamuila, “Ainea, uYesu Kristo akugune; Uka hangi witandikilye u ulili nuako,” Nkua yiyo akauka.
Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ has now healed yoʋ; rise and roll up yoʋr mat.” Immediately he rose,
35 Ni atu ihi nai ikiie ku Lida ni Sharoni nai amihengile u muntu uyo, ai amupilukie u Mukulu.
and all who dwelt in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord.
36 Ai akoli nu mumanyisigwa Yafa nuitangwaaTabitha, niiza limpyanigwe anga “Dorcas.” Uyu musungu ai wizue mulimo ukende ni ntendo nia ukendepwa nai witumaa ku a ula.
Now in Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which means “Dorcas”). She was always doing good works and charitable acts.
37 Ai ipumie mu mahiku nanso ai ulwae nu kusha; nai amukalalya, ai amunankiiye shumba nika migulya nu kumulalisha.
In those days she became sick and died, so they washed her body and laid it in an upper room.
38 Ku iti i Linda ai atulaa pakupi ni Yafa, ni amanyisigwa ai igulye kina uPetro ai ukoli kuko, ai a alagiiye antu abiili kitalakwe, aze musinja, “Pembya kitaitu bila kutinia.”
Lydda was near Joppa, so when the disciples heard that Peter was there, they sent for him, urging him not to delay in coming to them.
39 uPetro akauka nu kuhega palung'wi ni enso. Nai wakapika, ai amuletile mu shumba nika migulya. Ni ahimbi ihi ai imikile pakupi nu ng'wenso azelila, azemulagiila ia mujulungu ni ang'wenda naza uDorcas ai uahilitiiye itungo nai ukoli palung'wi ni enso.
So Peter rose and went with them. When he arrived, they brought him to the upper room, and all the widows stood before him, weeping and showing him all the tunics and cloaks that Dorcas had made while she was still with them.
40 uPetro aka apumya ihi kunzi a shumba, akatugama akalompa, uugwa akaupilukila u muili, akaligitya, “Tabitha, uka.” Akalugula i miho akwe hangi nai wakamihenga uPetro akikie pihi.
But Peter sent them all outside, knelt down, and prayed. Turning toward the body, he said, “Tabitha, arise.” Then she opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, she sat up.
41 Uugwa uPetro akaminkiilya u mukono nuakwe akamunyansula, hangi nai wakaitanga i ahuiili ni ahimbi, akainkiilya kitalao aze mupanga.
He gave her his hand and raised her up. Then he called in the saints and the widows and presented her alive.
42 Ikani ili likakumuka i Yafa ihi, ni antu idu akamuhuiila uMukulu.
This became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
43 Ai ipumie uPetro akikie mahiku idu ku Yafa palung'wi ni muntu nuitangwaa Simioni, muzipya ndili.
And Peter remained in Joppa for many days with a tanner named Simon.
