Matendo ya Mitume 16
1 Paulo kabhele bho ahidili Derbe ni Litra; na langayi, pala pajhe ni mwanafunzi jhaakutibhweghe Timotheo, ndo kijana jhaahogoliki ni mabhu ghwa Kiyahudi ambajhe ndo muumini ni dadi munu ndo mgiriki.
And he came to Derbe and Lystra: and there was a certain disciple there named Timothy, whose mother was one of the Jews of the faith, but his father was a Greek;
2 Bhanu bha listra ni Ikonia bhan'shuhudili kinofu.
Of whom the brothers at Lystra and Iconium had a high opinion.
3 Paulo andondeghe ili asafiriajhi nakhu, hiyo akantola ni kun'tahiri kwa ndabha jhe bhammanyili kujha dadimuni ndo Mgiriki.
Paul had a desire for him to go with him, and he gave him circumcision because of the Jews who were in those parts: for they all had knowledge that his father was a Greek.
4 Bho bhilota bhap'elili ku miji nikuhomesya malaghisu ku makanisa ili kughatii malaghisu aghu ghalembibhu ni mitume ni bhasee okhu Yerusalemu.
And on their way through the towns, they gave them the rules which had been made by the Apostles and the rulers of the church at Jerusalem, so that they might keep them.
5 Efyo makanisa ghaimarishibhu mu imani ni bhabhaamini bhajhongesiki kwa idadi khila ligono.
So the churches were made strong in the faith and were increased in number every day.
6 Paulo ni bhajhinu bha kalota firigia ni Galatia kwani Roho ghwa K'yara abhabesili kuhubiri lilobhi okhu ku lijimbo lya Asia.
And after they had gone through the land of Phrygia and Galatia, the Holy Spirit did not let them take the word into Asia;
7 Bho bhakaribili Misia, bhajaribu kulota Bithinia, lakini Roho ghwa Yesu abhabesili.
And having come to Mysia, they made an attempt to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not let them;
8 Kwa hiyo bhakapeta Misi bhakajhida mpaka mji bhwa Troa.
And going past Mysia, they came down to Troas.
9 Maono ghan'tokili Paulo pakilu, bhajheleni munu ghwa Makedonia ajhemili, akan'kuta ni kujobha, “Muhidayi mutulaidilayi choni Makedonia.”
And Paul had a vision in the night; a man of Macedonia came, requesting him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia and give us help.
10 Paulo bho abhwene maono, mara tukakia ndala kulota Makedonia akimanya kujhe K'yara atukutili kulota kubhahubilila injili.
And when he had seen the vision, straight away we made the decision to go into Macedonia, for it seemed certain to us that God had sent us to give the good news to them.
11 Hivyo twabhokili kuhoma Troa twalotili moja kwa moja Samothrake, ni ligono lyalafwatili twafikili mji bhwa Neapoli.
So, from Troas we went straight by ship to Samothrace and the day after to Neapolis;
12 Kuhoma apu tukalota Filipi ambaghyo ndo moja ghya mji bhwa Makedonia, mji muhimu mu wilaya ni utawala bhwa Kirumi ni kutama magono kadhaa.
And from there to Philippi, which is the most important town of Macedonia and a Roman colony: and we were there for some days.
13 Ligono lya sabato twalotili kwibhala kulango kwa njela jha kiholo sehemu ambajho tudhanieghe kubeta kujha ni mahali pa kubhombela maombi. Twatamili pasi ni kulongela ni bhamama bhabhahidi pamonga.
And on the Sabbath we went outside the town, by the river, where we had an idea that there would be a place of prayer; and, being seated, we had talk with the women who had come together.
14 N'dala mmonga he akutibhweghe Lidia, n'hemelesajhi ghwa zambarau, kuhoma ku mji bhwa Tiatira, jha ikamwabudu K'yara atupelikisi. Bwana anfunguili muoyo bhwa muene ni kubheka maanani malobhi ghaghajobhibhu ni Paulo.
And a certain woman named Lydia, a trader in purple cloth of the town of Thyatira, and a God-fearing woman, gave ear to us: whose heart the Lord made open to give attention to the things which Paul was saying.
15 Baada jha kubatisibhwa, atusiili ni kujobha, “Kama munibhwene kujha nene na mwaminifu kwa Bwana, basi nikabhasihi mujhingilayi ni kutama kwa nene.”Atusihili kweli.
And when she and her family had had baptism, she made a request to us, saying, If it seems to you that I am true to the Lord, come into my house and be my guests. And she made us come.
16 Ikajha kwamba, bhotwilota mahali pa kus'oka, n'dala mmonga jheajhe ni pepo lya utambuzi abhone ne ni tete. Andetili Bwana ghwa muene faida simehele kwa kubashiri.
And when we were going to the place of prayer, we came across a girl with a spirit which gave knowledge of the future, whose masters made great profit from her power.
17 N'dala ojho akan'kesya Paulo pamonga ni tete, akajha ipiga kelele ni kujobha, “Abha bhagosi ndo bhatumishi bha K'yara jha ajhe mbaha, bhabhikabhatangasila muenga habari jha wokovu.”
She came after Paul and us, crying out and saying, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who are giving you news of the way of salvation.
18 Abhombi naha kwa magono ghamehele, lakini Paulo akajha adadili ni litendo e'lu, ageuki kunyuma ni kun'jobhela pepo'”Nikuamuru kwa lihina lya Yesu umhokayi mugati mwa muene.” Niliene likabhoka ni kundeka mara moja.
And this she did on a number of days. But Paul was greatly troubled and, turning, said to the spirit, I give you orders in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.
19 Mabwana bha muene bho bhabhuene jha kujha tumaini lya faida jha bhene libhokili, bhabhakamuili Paulo ni Sila ni kubhabunisya mu soko mbele jha bhenye mamlaka.
But when her masters saw that their hope of profit was gone, they took Paul and Silas, pulling them into the market-place before the rulers;
20 Bho bhabhafikisi kwa makuhakimu bhakajobha, “Bhagosi abha Bhayahudi na bhisababisya ghasia mbaha mu mji bhwitu.
And when they had taken them before the authorities, they said, These men, who are Jews, are greatly troubling our town;
21 Bhimanyisya mambo ambagho sio sheria tete kughapokela wala kughakesya kama Warumi.”
Teaching rules of living which it is not right for us to have or to keep, being Romans.
22 Umati ukabhajhinukila kinyume, Paulo ni Sila, mahakimu bharanuli nghobho sya bhene ni kubhafula ni kuamuru bhatobhibhwayi fiboko.
And the people made an attack on them all together: and the authorities took their clothing off them, and gave orders for them to be whipped.
23 Baada jha kubhatobha fiboko fimehele, bhakabhasopa mu ligereza ni kuamuru askari bha gereza kubhalenda kinofu.
And when they had given them a great number of blows, they put them in prison, giving orders to the keeper of the prison to keep them safely:
24 Baada jha kupokela amri ejhu, askari bha gereza abhasopili mu kichumba kya mugati mu gereza ni kubhakonga magolo gha bhene pa sehemu pa bhabhekibhu.
And he, having such orders, put them into the inner prison with chains on their feet.
25 Bwakati wa kiru kya manane Paulo ni Sila bhakajha bhisoka ni kujhemba nyembu sya kunsifu K'yara, khoni bhafungwa bhangi bhakajha bhipelekesya.
But about the middle of the night, Paul and Silas were making prayers and songs to God in the hearing of the prisoners;
26 Ghafla kwatokili litetemeko libhaha ni misingi ghya gereza ghyatikisiki, miliangu ghya gereza ghikadenduka, ni minyororo ghya bhafungwa bhoha jhalegesibhu.
And suddenly there was an earth-shock, so that the base of the prison was moved: and all the doors came open, and everyone's chains came off.
27 Mlinzi ghwa gereza akajhumuka kuhoma mulogono ni kubhona miliangu ghioha ghya gereza jhidendulibhu; hivyo akatola upanga bhwa muene maana alondeghe kwikoma kwandabha afikilireghe bhafungwa bhoha bhatoniiki.
And the keeper, coming out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, took his sword and was about to put himself to death, fearing that the prisoners had got away.
28 Lakini Paulo akapiga kelele kwa sauti mbaha, akajobha, “Usikidhuru kwa ndabha twebhoha tujhele mahali apa.
But Paul said in a loud voice, Do yourself no damage, for we are all here.
29 Mlinzi ghwa gereza akas'oka taa siletibhwayi ni kujhingila mugati mu gereza manyata, akajha itetemeka ni kutila akabhabinila Paulo ni Sila,
And he sent for lights and came rushing in and, shaking with fear, went down on his face before Paul and Silas,
30 ni kubhapisya nje jha gereza ni kujobha, “Bhaheshimibhwa, niketakiki ili nibhweijhi kuokoka?
And took them out and said, Sirs, what have I to do to get salvation?
31 Na bhene bhakan'jobhela, “Umwamini ajhi Bwana Yesu nabhi wibetekuokoka pamonga ni nyumba jha jhobhi.”
And they said, Have faith in the Lord Jesus, and you and your family will have salvation.
32 Bhajobhi lilobhi lya Bwana kwa muene pamonga ni bhanu bhoha bha pa nyumba jha muene.
And they gave the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.
33 Mlinzi ghwa gereza akabhatola ke'ru khela ni kubhasambisya sehemu sya bhalamele, muene pamonga ni bhanu bha panyumba pa muene. Mara bhakabatisibhwa.
And that same hour of the night, he took them, and when he had given attention to their wounds, he and all his family had baptism straight away.
34 Akabhaleta Paulo ni Sila kunyumba jha muene ni kubhatengela kyakulya. Ni muene ajhele ni furaha mbaha pamonga ni bhanu bha panyumba jha muene kwandabha bhamwamini K'yara.
And he took them into his house and gave them food, and he was full of joy, having faith in God with all his family.
35 Bho jhilikili pamusi, mahakimu bhatumili ujumbe kwa mlinzi jhola ghwa gereza bhakajobha, “Bharuhusu ajhi bhanu bhala bhalotayi.”
But when it was day, the authorities sent the police, saying, Let these men go.
36 Mlinzi ghwa gereza akan'julisha Paulo juu jha malobhi aghu jha kujha, “Mahakimu bhaghisi ujumbe kujha nibharuhusuajhi mulotayi: hivyo mupitayi kwibhala na mulotayi kwa amani.
And the keeper said to Paul, The authorities have given orders to let you go: come out now, and go in peace.
37 Lakini Paulo akabhajobhela, “Bhatutobhili hadharani, bhanu ambabho ndo Bharumi bila kutuhukumu na bhaamuili kutusopa mu ligereza; halafu henu bhilonda kutupisya kwa siri? Lepi jhibhwesekana lepi, bhene bhahidayi kutupisya mahali apa.”
But Paul said to them, They have given us who are Romans a public whipping without judging us, and have put us in prison. Will they now send us out secretly? no, truly, let them come themselves and take us out.
38 Bhalinzi bhakabhajulisya mahakimu juu jha malobhi aghu, mahakimu bhatilili sana bhobhamanyili kujha Paulo ni Sila ndo Bharumi.
And the police gave an account of these words to the authorities, and they were full of fear on hearing that they were Romans;
39 Mahakimu bhakahida ni kubhasihi bhapitayi, na bhobhabhapisili kwibhala pa gereza, bhabhesokili Paulo ni Sila bhakapita kwibhala kubhoka mu mji obhu.
Then they came and made prayers to them, requesting them, when they had taken them out, to go away from the town.
40 Kwa hiyo Paulo ni Sila bhakapita kwibhala pa gereza bhakahida kunyumba jha Lidia. Paulo ni Sila bho bha mbwene ndogo bhabhi bhabhapelimu muoyo ni kisha kubhoka mu mji obhu.
And they came out of the prison and went to the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brothers they gave them comfort and went away.
