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 lo! a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewess, but whose father was a Greek;
2 Bhanu bha listra ni Ikonia bhan'shuhudili kinofu.
who was well a spoken of by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.
3 Paulo andondeghe ili asafiriajhi nakhu, hiyo akantola ni kun'tahiri kwa ndabha jhe bhammanyili kujha dadimuni ndo Mgiriki.
Him Paul wished to go forth with him, and took and circumcised him on account of the Jews who were in those places; for they all knew 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 as they journeyed through the cities, they delivered to them for their observance the decrees which had been ordained by the apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem.
5 Efyo makanisa ghaimarishibhu mu imani ni bhabhaamini bhajhongesiki kwa idadi khila ligono.
The churches therefore were established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
6 Paulo ni bhajhinu bha kalota firigia ni Galatia kwani Roho ghwa K'yara abhabesili kuhubiri lilobhi okhu ku lijimbo lya Asia.
And having gone through Phrygia and the Galatian country, on being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia,
7 Bho bhakaribili Misia, bhajaribu kulota Bithinia, lakini Roho ghwa Yesu abhabesili.
they came to Mysia, and were attempting to go into Bithynia; but the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them.
8 Kwa hiyo bhakapeta Misi bhakajhida mpaka mji bhwa Troa.
And passing by Mysia, they came to Troas.
9 Maono ghan'tokili Paulo pakilu, bhajheleni munu ghwa Makedonia ajhemili, akan'kuta ni kujobha, “Muhidayi mutulaidilayi choni Makedonia.”
And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. There stood a man of Macedonia beseeching him and saying, Come over into Macedonia and help us.
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, we immediately endeavored to go into Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to publish the glad tidings to them.
11 Hivyo twabhokili kuhoma Troa twalotili moja kwa moja Samothrake, ni ligono lyalafwatili twafikili mji bhwa Neapoli.
And setting sail from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothrace, and on the day following 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 thence to Philippi, which is a chief city of the province of Macedonia, a colony. And we remained in the city 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-day we went forth out of the gate to a river-side, where was wont to be a place of prayer, and we sat down, and spoke to the women who had assembled.
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 seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, was listening; whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things which were spoken by Paul.
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 had been baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be a believer in the Lord, come into my house, and abide. And she constrained us.
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 it came to pass, as we were going to the place of prayer, that a certain bond-maid having a soothsaying spirit met us, who brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.
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.”
This woman followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, who announce to you 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 for many days. But Paul, being much displeased, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out immediately.
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 her masters seeing that the hope of their gain was gone, laid hold of Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the market-place to the rulers;
20 Bho bhabhafikisi kwa makuhakimu bhakajobha, “Bhagosi abha Bhayahudi na bhisababisya ghasia mbaha mu mji bhwitu.
and having brought them before the magistrates, said, These men are grievously disturbing our city, being Jews;
21 Bhimanyisya mambo ambagho sio sheria tete kughapokela wala kughakesya kama Warumi.”
and they teach customs which it is not lawful for us Romans to receive or observe.
22 Umati ukabhajhinukila kinyume, Paulo ni Sila, mahakimu bharanuli nghobho sya bhene ni kubhafula ni kuamuru bhatobhibhwayi fiboko.
And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates, tearing off their clothes, commanded to beat them with rods;
23 Baada jha kubhatobha fiboko fimehele, bhakabhasopa mu ligereza ni kuamuru askari bha gereza kubhalenda kinofu.
and when they had laid on them many stripes, they cast them into prison, charging the jailer 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.
who having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
25 Bwakati wa kiru kya manane Paulo ni Sila bhakajha bhisoka ni kujhemba nyembu sya kunsifu K'yara, khoni bhafungwa bhangi bhakajha bhipelekesya.
But at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing praises to God; and the prisoners were listening to them.
26 Ghafla kwatokili litetemeko libhaha ni misingi ghya gereza ghyatikisiki, miliangu ghya gereza ghikadenduka, ni minyororo ghya bhafungwa bhoha jhalegesibhu.
And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and all the doors were immediately opened, and the bands of all were loosed.
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 jailer awakening out of sleep, and seeing the prison-doors open, drew his sword, and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
28 Lakini Paulo akapiga kelele kwa sauti mbaha, akajobha, “Usikidhuru kwa ndabha twebhoha tujhele mahali apa.
But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm, 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,
Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas;
30 ni kubhapisya nje jha gereza ni kujobha, “Bhaheshimibhwa, niketakiki ili nibhweijhi kuokoka?
and having brought them out, he said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 Na bhene bhakan'jobhela, “Umwamini ajhi Bwana Yesu nabhi wibetekuokoka pamonga ni nyumba jha jhobhi.”
And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou wilt be saved, and thy household.
32 Bhajobhi lilobhi lya Bwana kwa muene pamonga ni bhanu bhoha bha pa nyumba jha muene.
And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, and to all that 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 he took them with him at that hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and he was immediately baptized, himself and all that belonged to him.
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 when he had brought them up into his house, he set food before them, and rejoiced with all his house, having become a believer in God.
35 Bho jhilikili pamusi, mahakimu bhatumili ujumbe kwa mlinzi jhola ghwa gereza bhakajobha, “Bharuhusu ajhi bhanu bhala bhalotayi.”
And when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Release those men.
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 jailer reported these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent to release you; now therefore come out, 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 publicly beaten us uncondemned, although we are Romans, and have thrust us into prison; and now do they thrust us out secretly? No; but let them come themselves, and bring us out.
38 Bhalinzi bhakabhajulisya mahakimu juu jha malobhi aghu, mahakimu bhatilili sana bhobhamanyili kujha Paulo ni Sila ndo Bharumi.
And the sergeants reported these words to the magistrates; and they were afraid when they heard 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.
And they came and besought them; and when they had brought them out, they entreated them to leave the city.
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 when they had come out of the prison, they went into the house of Lydia; and when they saw the brethren, they exhorted them, and departed.
