Matendo ya Mitume 8
1 Sauli ajhele makubaliano gha kifo kya muene. Legono elu ndo ajhandili kubhatesya kinyume kya kanisa lya lyejhele Yerusalemu; na bhoha jha bhiamini bhabhatawanyiki mu majimbo gha Yudea ni Samaria, isipokujha mitume.
And Saul was well pleased with his execution. For at that time there was a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all dispersed through the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.
2 Bhanu bhacha mungu bhan'syelili Stefano ni kubhomba maombolez mabhaha juu jha muene.
And some pious men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation for him.
3 Lakini Sauli alilizuru likanisa. Alotili nyumba kwa nyumba nikubhabuniza kwibhala bhadala ni bhagosi, ni kubhasopa mu ligereza.
But Saul made havock of the church, entring into the houses, and dragging out men and women, committed them to prison.
4 Bhabhikeera ambabho bhatawanyiki bado bhalihubiri lilobhi.
Now they that were dispersed went about preaching the word.
5 Filipo asalili katika mji bhwa Samaria ni kun'tangasya Kristu okhu.
And Philip coming to the city of Samaria, preached Christ unto them.
6 Baada jha makutano kup'eleka ni ishara syaabhombi Filipo; bhakabheka umakini juu jha khela kyaajobhili.
And the people unanimously attended to the things which were spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he wrought:
7 Kuhomela apu bhanu bhingi bhabhap'eliki pepo bhachafu bhakabhabhoka bhanu khoni bhilela kwa sauti mbaha, ni bhingi bhabhapoozili ni fiwete bhaponyisibhu.
for impure spirits crying with a loud voice came out of many that were possessed by them; and many paralytic and lame persons were cured.
8 Na kwajhele ni furaha mbaha mu mji.
And there was great joy in that city.
9 Lakini pajhele ni munu mmonga mu mji bhola lihina lya muene Simoni ambajhe abhombeghe uhabhi; ambabho abhutimili kubhashangasya bhanu bha taifa la Samaria, wakati ijobha kujha muene ndo munu muhimu.
But there was before in the city a man named Simon practising magic and bewitching the people of Samaria, giving out that he was some great person.
10 Bhasamaria bhoha kuhomela bhana hata bhabhaha, bhakamp'elekesya, bhakajobha, “Munu ojho ndo jhela nghofu jha K'yara ambajho ndo mbaha.”
Whom they all greatly regarded, from the lest to the greatest, saying, This man is as the great power of God.
11 Bhakamp'elekesya, kwa ndabha abhesyangese mda mrefu kwa uhabhi bhwa muene.
And they were attentive to him, because he had for a considerable time astonished them by his magic arts.
12 Lakini wakati bhakyeriri kujha Filipo ahubiriri juu jha ufalme bhwa K'yara ni juu jhalihina lya Yesu Kristu, bhabatisibhu bhagosi kwa bhadala.
But as they believed Philip, preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women;
13 Ni Simoni muene akyeriri; baada jha kubatisibhwa ajhendelili kujha ni Filipo; bho abhuene ishara ni miujiza jhaijhele jhibhombekeghe, ashangele.
and Simon himself also believed, and was baptized, and kept constantly with Philip: and beholding the signs and miracles that were wrought, he was amazed.
14 Wakati mitume bha Yerusalemu bho bhap'eliki kujha samaria ipokili lilobhi lya K'yara bhakabhautma Petro ni Yohana.
Now when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John:
15 Wakati bhiselela bhakabhaombela; kujha bhampokelayi Roho mtakatifu.
who when they were come down prayed for them that they might receive the holy Spirit: (for He was not yet fallen upon any of them,
16 Mpaka mda obhu, Roho mtakatifu ajhele akona kubhaselelela hata mmonga ghwa bhene; bhabatisibhu lu kwa lihina lya Bwana Yesu.
only they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus: ) and then they laid their hands on them,
17 Ndipo Petro ni Yohana bhakabhabhekela mabhoko ni bhene bhakampokela Roho mtakatifu.
and they received the holy Spirit.
18 Wakati Simoni abhwena Roho mtakatifu abhosibhu kupetelakubhekibhwa mabhoko ni mitume; alondeghe kubhapela hela,
And when Simon saw that the holy Spirit was given by the imposition of the hands of the apostles, he offered them money,
19 Akajobha, “Nipelayi nghofu ejhe, ili kila jha nibetakumbeka mabhoko paokelayi Roho mtakatifu.”
saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the holy Spirit.
20 Lakini Petro akan'jobhela; hela jha jhobhi pamonga ni bhebhe ijhaghanikilayi patali, kwa ndabha udhanili kujha karama jha K'yara jhipalikana kwa hela.
But Peter said unto him, Let thy money perish with thee, since thou thoughtest to purchase the gift of God with money.
21 Ujhelepi ni sehemu kulijambo e'le, n'nofu lepi mbele sya K'yara.
Thou hast no part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
22 Hivyo basi, tubuayi maovu gha jhobhi ni kun'soka K'yara labda wibeta kusamehebhwa fikra sya muoyo ghwa jhobhi.
Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray to God, if so be the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee:
23 Kwa maana nibhona ujhele mu sumu jha bhuchungu ni kifungu kya dhambi.”
for I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness and bond of iniquity.
24 Simoni akajibu ni kujobha, “Mun'sokayi Bwana kwa ndabha jha nene kwa kujha mambo ghoha ghamulongelili ghibhwesya kunitokela.
And Simon answered, and said, Do ye pray to the Lord for me, that none of the things which ye have spoken may come upon me.
25 Wakati Petro ni Yohana bho bhashuhudili ni kuhubiri lilobhi lya Bwana, bhakakerebhuka Yerusalemu kwa njela ejhu; bhahubiri injili mu fijiji fingi fya bhasamaria.
And they having testified and declared the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
26 Basi malaika bha Bwana anenili ni Filipo ni kujobha, “Jhangasiajhi na ulotayi kusini kwa njela jhajhilota kusika jha Yerusalemu kulotela Gaza.” (Njela ejhe jhijhe mujangwa).
And an angel of the Lord spake to Philip, saying, Arise and go southward to the way that leads down from Jerusalem to Gaza, which is desert.
27 Akajhangasya ni kulota. Langayi, kwajhele ni munu ghwa Ethiopia, towashi mwenye mamlaka mbaha pasi pa kandese; Malkia ghwa Ethiopia. Jhaabhekibhu panani pa hazina jha muene jhioha; nu muene akalota Yerusalemu kuabudu.
And he arose and went; and behold a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, and her high-treasurer, who had come to Jerusalem to worship,
28 Wakati ikerebhuka atamili mu ligari lyamuene isoma chuo kya nabii Isaya.
was returning, and as he sat in his chariot, was reading the prophet Esaias:
29 Roho akajobha ni Filipo, “Hegelelayi karibu ni ligari e'le ukakamulana nalu.
and the Spirit said to Philip, Go near and join thyself to this chariot. And Philip running up to him,
30 “Efyo Filipo akalota mbio, akampeleka isoma mu chuo kya nabii Isaya; akajobha, umanyili kya wisoma?”
heard him reading the prophet Esaias, and said, Dost thou understand what thou readest?
31 Muethiopia akajobha, “nibebhwesya bhuli munu kama andongwisi lepi?” Akan'sihi Filipo akwela mu ligari ni kutama pamonga ni muene.
And he said, How can I, unless some one guide me? and he desired Philip to come up and sit with him.
32 Henu lifungu lya maandiku lya asomeghe Muethiopia ndo e'le, Alongosibhu kama likondoo kulota kuchinjibhwa ku machinjioni; ni kama likondoo agudeme kinunu, afunguililepi kinywa kya muene.
And the portion of scripture, which he was reading, was this, "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before it's shearer is dumb, so He opened not his mouth:
33 Kwa huzunishibhwa kwa muene hukumu jha muene jhabhosibhu, niani jha ibetakujhelesya kizazi kya muene? maisha muene ghabhosibhu munchi.”
in his humiliation his judgement was taken away, and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken away from the earth."
34 Hivyo towashi akan'kota Filipo, ni kujobha, “nikus'oka, nabii jholeku ilongelibhwa habari sya muene, ni kuhusu muene au sya munu jhongi”?
And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom doth the prophet say this? of himself, or of some other person?
35 Filipo ajhandikulongela, abhwanji kwa andiko e'le lya Isaya kun'hubirira habari sya Yesu.
Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning at this scripture, preached unto him Jesus.
36 Bhobhajhe munjela, bhakafika pa masi,' towashi akajobha, “Langayi, pajheni masi apa kheleku kizuila nisibatisibhu?”
And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water: and the eunuch said, See here is water, what hindereth me from being baptized?
37 Malobhi agha, “Hivyo Muethiopia akajibu “Nikiera kujha Yesu Kristu ndo mwana ghwa K'yara,” ghajhelepi mu maandiku gha muandi). Ndipo Muethiopia akaamuru ligari lijhemayi.
And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 Bhakalota mugati mu masi, pamonga ni Filipo ni towashi, Filipoakambatisya.
And he ordered the chariot to stop: and they both went down to the water, Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
39 Wakati bhofobhwiki mu masi, Roho ghwa Bwana jhampeliki Filipo patali; tawashi ambwene lepi, akalota njela jha muene khoni ishangilila.
And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more: but went on his way rejoicing.
40 Lakini Filipo akahomela Azoto. Apetili mu mkoa bhola ni kuhubiri injili mu miji ghioha mpaka bho afikili Kaisaria.
But Philip was found at Azotus; and as he passed along, he preached the gospel in all the cities, till he came to Cesarea.
