Matendo ya Mitume 9
1 Lakini Sauli, ajhendelili kujobha fitisho ata fya kufwa kwa bhanafunzi bha Bwana, alotili kwa kuhani mbaha
But Saul, still burning with desire to put to death the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
2 ni kun'soka barua kwa ndabha jha masinagogi oku Dameski, ili kwamba akankabha munu jha ajhe mu njela jhela ajhele n'gosi au n'dala, abhakongayi ni kubhaleta Yerusalemu.
And made a request for letters from him to the Synagogues of Damascus, so that if there were any of the Way there, men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
3 Hata bho isafiri, jhatokili bho ikaribila Dameski, gafla jhikamwangasya kokuoha nuru kuh'omela kumbinguni,'
And while he was journeying, he came near Damascus; and suddenly he saw a light from heaven shining round him;
4 ni muene akabina pasi na ap'eliki sauti jhikan'jobhela, “Sauli, Sauli, mbona ukanitesya nene?”
And he went down on the earth, and a voice said to him, Saul, Saul, why are you attacking me so cruelly?
5 Sauli ajibili, bhebhe ghwe niani Bwana? Bwana akajobha, “Nene ndo Yesu jha ukanidadisya;
And he said, Who are you, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus, whom you are attacking:
6 Lakini jhinukayi, jhingilayi ku mjini nabhi ghwibeta kujobhighwa gha wilondeka kubhomba.
But get up, and go into the town, and it will be made clear to you what you have to do.
7 Bhanu bhabhasafiri pamonga ni Sauli bhatulili kinunu, kupelekesya sauti, bhabhwelepi munu.
And the men who were with him were not able to say anything; hearing the voice, but seeing no one.
8 Sauli akajhinuka mu nchi na bho afunguili mihu gha muene abhwesilepi kulola khenu, bhakankamula kibhoko bhakandeta mpaka Dameski.
And Saul got up from the earth, and when his eyes were open, he saw nothing; and he was guided by the hand into Damascus.
9 Kwa magono madatu ilolalepi, ilyalepi, wala kunywa.
And for three days he was not able to see, and he took no food or drink.
10 Basi pajhele ni mwanafunzi Dameski lihina lya muene Anania, Bwana ajobhinaku ku lugono, “Anania.” Na ajobhili, “Langayi, jhele apa, Bwana.
Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias! and he said, Here I am, Lord.
11 “Bwana akan'jobhela, “Jhemayi ulotayi mu mtaa bhwa bhwikutibhwa Nyofu, ni mu nyumba jha Yuda na kakotelesiajhi munu kuhoma Tarso jhaikutibhwa Sauli; Maana akona isoka;
And the Lord said to him, Get up, and go to the street which is named Straight, and make search at the house of Judas for one named Saul of Tarsus: for he is at prayer;
12 na ambwene mu maono munu lihina lya muene Anania ijhingila ni kumbekela mabhoko panani pa muene kwamba abhwesyahi kulola.
And he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hands on him, so that he may be able to see.
13 Lakini Anania ajibili, “Bwana, nip'eliki habari sya munu ojhu kwa bhanu bhingi, kwa kiasi kereku abhabhombili mabhibhi bhatakatifu bha okhu Yerusalemu;
But Ananias said, Lord, I have had accounts of this man from a number of people, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem:
14 Apa ajhe ni mamlaka kuhomakwa kuhani mbaha kun'kamula khila munu jha ikalitia lihina lya bhebhe.
And here he has authority from the chief priests to make prisoners all who give worship to your name.
15 Lakini Bwana akan'jobhela, “Lotayi, kwandabha ndo khenu kiteule kwa nene alitolayi lihina lya nene mbele jha mataifa ni bhafalme ni bhana bha Israeli.
But the Lord said, Go without fear: for he is a special vessel for me, to give to the Gentiles and kings and to the children of Israel the knowledge of my name:
16 Maana nibetakubhalasya ghaghajhe mingi ghaghibekundondeka kutesibhwa kwandabha jha lihina lya nene”.
For I will make clear to him what troubles he will have to undergo for me.
17 Anania akalota, akajhingila mugati mu nyumba m'ola; akambekela mabhokho akajobha, Ndongo Sauli, Bwana Yesu, jhaakuh'omili pa njela bho wihida, anilaghisi ukabhayi kulola kabhele na ujhiagha ni Roho mtakatifu.
And Ananias went out and came to the house, and putting his hands on him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, whom you saw when you were on your journey, has sent me, so that you may be able to see, and be full of the Holy Spirit.
18 Gafla fikabina fenu pamihu pa muene kama magamba, abhwesi kulola, akajhema, akabatisibhwa akalya kyakulya ni kukabha nghofu.
And straight away it seemed as if a veil was taken from his eyes, and he was able to see; and he got up, and had baptism;
19 Akatama pamonga ni bhanafunzi okhu Dameski kwa magono ghamehele.
And when he had taken food his strength came back. And for some days he kept with the disciples who were in Damascus.
20 Wakati bhobhuobhu akan'tangasya Yesu mu masinagogi, akajobha kujha muene ndo mwana ghwa K'yara.
And straight away, in the Synagogues, he was preaching Jesus as the Son of God.
21 Na bhoha bhabhap'eliki bhashangele ni kujobha, “Munu ojholepi jha abhaharibu bhoha bhabhakuti lihina e'le okhu Yerusalemu? Na apa ahidili kwa kusudi la kubhakhonga ni kubhap'eleka kwa Makuhani.”
And all those hearing him were full of wonder and said, Is not this the man who in Jerusalem was attacking all the worshippers of this name? and he had come here so that he might take them as prisoners before the chief priests.
22 Lakini Sauli abhwesibhu kuhubiri ni kubhafwanya bhayahudi bhabhetanieli Dameski bhachanganyikibhwayi ni kuthibitisha jha kujha ojho ndo Kristu.
But Saul went on increasing in power, and the Jews in Damascus were not able to give answers to the arguments by which he made it clear that Jesus was the Christ.
23 Baada jha magono ghamehele, bhayahudi bhakabhomba Shauri pamonga ili bhan'komayi.
Then, after some days, the Jews made an agreement together to put him to death:
24 Lakini mpango ghwa bhene ghwajulikene kwa Sauli. Bhakanvizila pa ndiangu pamusi ni pakilu bhabhwesyayi kun'koma.
But Saul got knowledge of their design. And they kept watch day and night on the roads out of the town, so that they might put him to death:
25 Lakini bhanafunzi bha muene bhakan'tola pakilu bhakan'selesya kup'etela pa ukuta, bhakan'selesya pasi mu kapu.
But his disciples took him by night and let him down from the wall in a basket.
26 Ni Sauli bho afikili Yerusalemu, ajaribu kwilonga ni bhanafunzi lakini bhakajha bhiken'tila bhakajha bhikiera lepi kama ni muene mwanafunzi.
And when he came to Jerusalem, he made an attempt to be joined to the disciples, but they were all in fear of him, not taking him for a disciple.
27 Lakini Barnaba akan'tola ni kumpeleka kwa mitume, Ni kubhajhelesya jinsi Sauli kya ambwene Bwana munjele ni Bwana kyaajobhinaku, ni jinsi Sauli kyaahubiri kwa ujasiri kwa lihina lya Yesu okhu Dameski.
But Barnabas took him to the Apostles and gave them an account of how he had seen the Lord on the road, and had given hearing to his words, and how at Damascus he had been preaching in the name of Jesus without fear.
28 Abhonene nabhu bho bhijhingila ni kupita Yerusalemu. Ajobhikwa ujasiri lihina lya Bwana Yesu,
And he was with them, going in and out at Jerusalem,
29 Akajhaihojiana ni bhayahudi bha kiyunani lakini bhakajha bhijaribu mara kwa mara kun'koma.
Preaching in the name of the Lord without fear; and he had discussions with the Greek Jews; but they were working for his death.
30 Wakati bhalongomunu bhamanyili lijambo elu, bhakan; tola mpaka Kaisari, na bhampelekayi alolayi Tarso.
And when the brothers had knowledge of it, they took him to Caesarea and sent him to Tarsus.
31 Basi likanisa lyoha mu bhuyahudi, Galilaya ni Samaria, lyajhele ni imani, na lyajengibhu, ni kugenda mu hofu jha Bwana ni faraja jha Roho mtakatifu, kanisa lyakholili kwa kujhongeseka idadi.
And so the church through all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was made strong; and, living in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, was increased greatly.
32 Kisha atokili Petro bho isyongokasyongoka pande syoha sya mkoa, akabhaselelela bhaumini bhabhatameghe mu mji ghwa Lida.
And it came about that while Peter was going through all parts of the country he came to the saints who were living at Lydda.
33 Ambwene okhu munu mmonga jhaakutibhweghe Ainea, munu ojhu ajhele pakitanda miaka mia nane; maana apozili.
And there was a certain man there, named Aeneas, who for eight years had been in bed, without power of moving.
34 Petro akan'jobhela, “Ainea, Yesu Kristu akuponyiayi; Jhumukayi ni ukitandikilayi kitanda kya jhobhi,” Mara akajhumuka.
And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ makes you well: get up and make your bed. And straight away he got up.
35 Ni bhanu bhoha bhabhatamili Lida ni Sharoni bho bhambwene munu ojhu, bhan'geukili Bwana.
And all those living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and were turned to the Lord.
36 Pajhele ni bhanafunzi Yafa jhaakutibhweghe Tabitha, ambalyo lyatasfriribhu kama “Dorcas” N'dala ojhu ajasisi mambo kinofu ni matendo gha rehema ghaaghabhombi kwa maskini.
Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, that is, Dorcas: this woman was given to good works and acts of mercy at all times.
37 Jhatokili katika magono aghu alwalili ni kufwa; bhobhan'safisi, bhan'kwesi kichumba kya panani ni kun'goneka.
And it came about, in those days, that she got ill and came to her death: and when she had been washed, they put her in a room which was high up.
38 Kwa vile Lida kyaajhele karibu ni Yafa na bhanafunzi bhap'eliki kwamba Petro ajhele okhu, bhabhalaghisi bhabehle kwa muene bhakan'sihi, “Hidayi kwa tete bila kuchelebhwa.”
And because Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having knowledge that Peter was there, sent two men to him, requesting him to come to them straight away.
39 Petro akahema ni kubhoka pamonga ni bhene. bho afikiri, bhan'ndeitli mu kichumba kya panani. Ni bhajane bhoha bhajhemili karibu ni muene bhakajha bhilela, bhakajha bhakandasya likotili ni nghobho ambasyo Dorcas abhashonili wakati ajhe pamonga ni bhene.
And Peter went with them. And when he had come, they took him into the room: and all the widows were there, weeping and putting before him the coats and clothing which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
40 Petro akabhabhosya bhoha kwibhala ku kichumba, akapiga magoti akas'oka, kisha akabhugeukila mb'ele, akajobha, “Tabitha, jhumukayi”. Akafungula mihu gha muene na bho ambwene Petro akatama pasi.
But Peter made them all go outside, and went down on his knees in prayer; and turning to the body, he said, Tabitha, get up. And, opening her eyes, she saw Peter and got up.
41 Kisha Petro akampela kibhoko kya muene akanjinula, na bho abhakutili bhaamini ni bhajane, akabhakabidhi kwa bhene ajhe hai.
And he took her hand, lifting her up; and, sending for the saints and widows, he gave her to them, living.
42 Lijambo e'lu lyamanyikene Yafa jhioha, ni bhanu bhingi bhakamwamini Bwana.
And news of it went all through Joppa, and a number of people had faith in the Lord.
43 Jhatokili Petro atamili magono mingi Yafa pamonga ni munu jhaakutibheghe Simoni, n'tengenesya ngozi.
And he was living in Joppa for some time with Simon, a leather-worker.
