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
And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter 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 desired from him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he should find any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3 Ga nai watula ulongoe muhinzo, ai ipumie kina nai wahumbeela ku Dameski, kupumpugiilya ika melya pihi pihii welu kupuma kilunde,'
And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined around him a light from heaven:
4 nung'wenso wakagwa pihi hangi akija luli lukumutambuila, “Sauli, Sauli, mbona ukunaja unene?”
And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5 uSauli akasukiilya, Wi nyenyu u ewe Mukulu? uMukulu akaligitya, “Unene ng'wenso Yesu nuku ntasha;
And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. [It is] hard for thee to kick against the goads.
6 Kuiti nyansuka, ingile mu kisali, nu ewe ukutambuilwa nu takiwe kituma.
And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord [said] to him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
7 iAntu awo nai akugenda palung'wi nu Sauli akakilaga ihi twii, aze ategeeye u luli, shanga ikihenga u muntu.
And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
8 uSauli akanyansuka mu ihi nai kunukue i miho akwe, shanga akahuma kihenga i kintu, akamuamba u mukono akamuleta kupikiila ku Dameski.
And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought [him] into Damascus.
9 Ku mahiku ataatu shanga ukihenga, shanga ukulya, ang'wi kung'wa.
And he was three days without sight, 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.
And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I [am here], 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;
And the Lord [said] to him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for [one] called Saul of Tarsus: for behold, he prayeth,
12 hangi aza umihengile mu muloto u muntu i lina nilakwe Anania ukingila nu kumuikiilya i mikono migulya akwe iti kina walije kihenga.
And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias, coming in, and putting [his] hand on him, 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;
Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
14 Apa ukete u uhumi kupuma kung'wa kuhani nu mukulu kumuamba kila ung'wi nuenda litanga i lina nilako.
And here he hath authority from the chief priests, to bind all that call on thy 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 chosen vessel to me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel.
16 Ndogoelyo nikamulagiila nili idu nakumutulika kagigwa ku nsoko a lina nilane.”
For I will show him how great things 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.
And Ananias went, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord ([even] Jesus that appeared to thee in the way as thou camest) hath sent me, that thou mayest receive thy 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.
And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
19 Akikie palung'wi ni amanyisigwa uko ku Dameski ku mahiku idu.
And when he had received food, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
20 Matungo yayo yaayo akamutanantya uYesu mu matekeelo, azeligitya kina u ng'wenso ingi ng'wana wang'wa Itunda.
And immediately he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he 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.”
But all that heard [him] were amazed, and said, Is not this he that destroyed them who called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound 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 increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
23 Ze yakilaa mahiku idu, Ayahudi akaika ulamuli palung'wi iti amubulage.
And after many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him.
24 Kuiti isigo lao likakumuka kung'wa Sauli. Akamutugila pa mumpita mung'wi nu utiku alije kumubulaga.
But their laying in wait, was known to Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.
25 Kuiti amanyisigwa akwe akamuhola utiku akamusimya kukiila mi ikiligo, akamusimya pihi mu nkapu.
Then the disciples took him by night, and let [him] down by the wall 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.
And when Saul had come to Jerusalem, he essayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not 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.
But Barnabas took him, and brought [him] to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at 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,
And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.
29 azikolenkeelya ni Ayahudi nia Kiyunani, kuiti azegema nkua ku nkua kumubulaga.
And he spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
30 Matungo ia luna nai alinga ikani nilanso, akamuhola kupika ku Kaisaria, nu kumutwala alongole ku Tarso.
[Which] when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Cesarea, and sent him forth 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.
Then had the churches rest throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, and were edified: and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, were multiplied.
32 Uugwa ai upumie uPetro nai ukoli ukupilima pilima nkika yihi nia mukoa, aka asimiila ahuiili ni ikie mu kisali nika Lida.
And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all [quarters], he came down also to the saints who dwelt at Lydda.
33 Akamihenga kuko muntu ung'wi i lina nilakwe Ainea, muntu uyu watuilee mu ulili myaka munana; ndogoelyo ai watulaa kitele.
And there he found a certain man named Eneas, who had kept his bed eight years, and was sick with the palsy.
34 uPetro akamuila, “Ainea, uYesu Kristo akugune; Uka hangi witandikilye u ulili nuako,” Nkua yiyo akauka.
And Peter said to him, Eneas, Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
35 Ni atu ihi nai ikiie ku Lida ni Sharoni nai amihengile u muntu uyo, ai amupilukie u Mukulu.
And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron 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 there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, who by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and alms-deeds which she did.
37 Ai ipumie mu mahiku nanso ai ulwae nu kusha; nai amukalalya, ai amunankiiye shumba nika migulya nu kumulalisha.
And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom, when they had washed, they laid in an upper chamber.
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.”
And as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent to him two men, desiring [him] that he would not delay to come 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.
Then Peter arose, and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was 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 put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning to the body, said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41 Uugwa uPetro akaminkiilya u mukono nuakwe akamunyansula, hangi nai wakaitanga i ahuiili ni ahimbi, akainkiilya kitalao aze mupanga.
And he gave her [his] hand, and lifted her up; and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
42 Ikani ili likakumuka i Yafa ihi, ni antu idu akamuhuiila uMukulu.
And it was 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 it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
