Matendo ya Mitume 9
1 Lakini Sauli, ajhendelili kujobha fitisho ata fya kufwa kwa bhanafunzi bha Bwana, alotili kwa kuhani mbaha
Meanwhile Saul, still breathing out threats and murder against 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 asked for letters from him to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them to Jerusalem as prisoners.
3 Hata bho isafiri, jhatokili bho ikaribila Dameski, gafla jhikamwangasya kokuoha nuru kuh'omela kumbinguni,'
As he was going along, he drew near to Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.
4 ni muene akabina pasi na ap'eliki sauti jhikan'jobhela, “Sauli, Sauli, mbona ukanitesya nene?”
Falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are yoʋ persecuting me?”
5 Sauli ajibili, bhebhe ghwe niani Bwana? Bwana akajobha, “Nene ndo Yesu jha ukanidadisya;
Saul said, “Who are yoʋ, Lord?” The Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom yoʋ are persecuting.
6 Lakini jhinukayi, jhingilayi ku mjini nabhi ghwibeta kujobhighwa gha wilondeka kubhomba.
But rise and enter the city, and yoʋ will be told what yoʋ must do.”
7 Bhanu bhabhasafiri pamonga ni Sauli bhatulili kinunu, kupelekesya sauti, bhabhwelepi munu.
The men who were traveling with Saul stood speechless, 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.
Saul rose from the ground, and although his eyes were open, he saw no one. So they led him by the hand and brought him to Damascus.
9 Kwa magono madatu ilolalepi, ilyalepi, wala kunywa.
He went three days without seeing, and neither ate nor drank.
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 disciple in Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias.” He said, “Behold, 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;
Then the Lord said to him, “Get up and go to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas look for a man of Tarsus named Saul. For behold, he is praying,
12 na ambwene mu maono munu lihina lya muene Anania ijhingila ni kumbekela mabhoko panani pa muene kwamba abhwesyahi kulola.
and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and laying his hand on him so that he might receive his sight.”
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 answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about how much evil this man has done to yoʋr saints in 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 arrest all who call upon yoʋr 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 to him, “Go, for he is a vessel chosen by me to bring my name before Gentiles, kings, and the sons of Israel.
16 Maana nibetakubhalasya ghaghajhe mingi ghaghibekundondeka kutesibhwa kwandabha jha lihina lya nene”.
I will show him how much he must suffer for my name's sake.”
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.
So Ananias went and entered the house. Laying his hands on Saul, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to yoʋ on the road by which yoʋ came, has sent me so that yoʋ may receive yoʋr sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
18 Gafla fikabina fenu pamihu pa muene kama magamba, abhwesi kulola, akajhema, akabatisibhwa akalya kyakulya ni kukabha nghofu.
Immediately something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he received his sight. Then he rose and was baptized,
19 Akatama pamonga ni bhanafunzi okhu Dameski kwa magono ghamehele.
and after taking some food, he was strengthened. For several days Saul was with the disciples in Damascus.
20 Wakati bhobhuobhu akan'tangasya Yesu mu masinagogi, akajobha kujha muene ndo mwana ghwa K'yara.
Immediately he began preaching in the synagogues that the Christ is 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.”
All who heard it were amazed and said, “Is this not the man who in Jerusalem tried to destroy those who call upon this name, and has he not come here for the purpose of bringing them as prisoners to the chief priests?”
22 Lakini Sauli abhwesibhu kuhubiri ni kubhafwanya bhayahudi bhabhetanieli Dameski bhachanganyikibhwayi ni kuthibitisha jha kujha ojho ndo Kristu.
But Saul grew stronger and kept confounding the Jews who dwelt in Damascus, proving that this man Jesus is the Christ.
23 Baada jha magono ghamehele, bhayahudi bhakabhomba Shauri pamonga ili bhan'komayi.
When many days had past, the Jews took counsel together to kill him,
24 Lakini mpango ghwa bhene ghwajulikene kwa Sauli. Bhakanvizila pa ndiangu pamusi ni pakilu bhabhwesyayi kun'koma.
but their plot became known to Saul. They started watching the gates both day and night so that they might kill him.
25 Lakini bhanafunzi bha muene bhakan'tola pakilu bhakan'selesya kup'etela pa ukuta, bhakan'selesya pasi mu kapu.
But the disciples took him by night and let him down through a window in the city wall, lowering him in a basket.
26 Ni Sauli bho afikili Yerusalemu, ajaribu kwilonga ni bhanafunzi lakini bhakajha bhiken'tila bhakajha bhikiera lepi kama ni muene mwanafunzi.
When Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him because they did not believe that he was 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.
Barnabas, however, took him and brought him to the apostles. He related to them how Saul had seen the Lord on the road and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how he had been preaching boldly in Damascus in the name of Jesus.
28 Abhonene nabhu bho bhijhingila ni kupita Yerusalemu. Ajobhikwa ujasiri lihina lya Bwana Yesu,
So Saul stayed with them and would go into Jerusalem and speak boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus.
29 Akajhaihojiana ni bhayahudi bha kiyunani lakini bhakajha bhijaribu mara kwa mara kun'koma.
He would also speak and debate with the Hellenists, but they were trying to kill him.
30 Wakati bhalongomunu bhamanyili lijambo elu, bhakan; tola mpaka Kaisari, na bhampelekayi alolayi Tarso.
When the brothers found out about it, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off 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.
So the churches throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were being strengthened. Continuing in the fear of the Lord and in the encouragement of the Holy Spirit, they were being multiplied.
32 Kisha atokili Petro bho isyongokasyongoka pande syoha sya mkoa, akabhaselelela bhaumini bhabhatameghe mu mji ghwa Lida.
Now as Peter was traveling from place to place, he went down to the saints who dwelt in Lydda.
33 Ambwene okhu munu mmonga jhaakutibhweghe Ainea, munu ojhu ajhele pakitanda miaka mia nane; maana apozili.
There he found a man named Aeneas, who was paralyzed and had been confined to a mat for eight years.
34 Petro akan'jobhela, “Ainea, Yesu Kristu akuponyiayi; Jhumukayi ni ukitandikilayi kitanda kya jhobhi,” Mara akajhumuka.
Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ has now healed yoʋ; rise and roll up yoʋr mat.” Immediately he rose,
35 Ni bhanu bhoha bhabhatamili Lida ni Sharoni bho bhambwene munu ojhu, bhan'geukili Bwana.
and all who dwelt in Lydda and Sharon saw him and 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 in Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which means “Dorcas”). She was always doing good works and charitable acts.
37 Jhatokili katika magono aghu alwalili ni kufwa; bhobhan'safisi, bhan'kwesi kichumba kya panani ni kun'goneka.
In those days she became sick and died, so they washed her body and laid it in an upper room.
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.”
Lydda was near Joppa, so when the disciples heard that Peter was there, they sent for him, urging him not to delay in coming to them.
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.
So Peter rose and went with them. When he arrived, they brought him to the upper room, and all the widows stood before him, weeping and showing him all the tunics and cloaks that Dorcas had made while she was still 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 sent them all outside, knelt down, and prayed. Turning toward the body, he said, “Tabitha, arise.” Then she opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, she sat up.
41 Kisha Petro akampela kibhoko kya muene akanjinula, na bho abhakutili bhaamini ni bhajane, akabhakabidhi kwa bhene ajhe hai.
He gave her his hand and raised her up. Then he called in the saints and the widows and presented her alive.
42 Lijambo e'lu lyamanyikene Yafa jhioha, ni bhanu bhingi bhakamwamini Bwana.
This became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
43 Jhatokili Petro atamili magono mingi Yafa pamonga ni munu jhaakutibheghe Simoni, n'tengenesya ngozi.
And Peter remained in Joppa for many days with a tanner named Simon.
