Itendi 9
1 Gene mobhago a Shauli bhatendaga punda kujogoya bhalikwabhulaganga bhaajiganywa bha Bhakulungwa. Gubhapite ku Bhakulungwa Bhaabhishila,
But Saul, still breathing threat and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, after going to the high priest,
2 gubhajujile bhapegwe bhaluwa ja lumanyio nnyumba ya jujila Nnungu ya shiyaudi kwene ku Dameshiki, nkupinga bhaaimanangaga bhanabhalume eu bhanabhakongwe bhakagulanga Mpanda gwa a Yeshu, bhaakamulanje bhajienabhonji ku Yelushalemu.
he requested letters from him for Damascus, to the synagogues, so that if he found any who were of the Way, both men and women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3 Ikabheje bhali mumpanda tome na ika ku Dameshiki, shangupe shilangaya kopoka kunnungu shikwamulishilaga mmbali yowe.
And on going, it came to pass for him to approach Damascus. And suddenly there shone around him a light out of heaven.
4 Gubhagwile pai gubhapilikene lilobhe lilikwabhalanjila, “Shauli! Shauli! Pakuti unamboteka?”
And after falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why do thou persecute me?
5 A Shauli gubhabhushiye, “Mmakulungwa, mmwe agani?” Gubhajangwilwe, “Nne a Yeshu nkumbotekajo.
And he said, Who are thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecute.
6 Ikabheje nnaino ujime, ujende kunnjini kweneko shiubhalanjilwe shiupinjikwa kutenda.”
But arise, and enter into the city, and it will be told thee what thou must do.
7 Bhandunji bhalongenenje na a Shauli bhala, gubhajimingenenje ilili, bhakakwetenjeje shabheleketa, lilobhe lila bhalipilikenenje ikabheje bhangammonanga abheleketaga.
And the men who traveled with him had stopped, speechless, indeed hearing the voice, but seeing no man.
8 A Shauli gubhajimi, bhakabhalakuleje meyo bhangashibhona shindu shoshowe, kwa nneyo bhandunji bhala gubhaakamwilenje nkono nikwalongoya mpaka kunjini ku Dameshiki.
And Saul arose from the ground. And when his eyes were opened, he saw no man. But they brought him into Damascus, leading him by the hand.
9 A Shauli gubhatemi mobha gatatu gwangali lola, gene mobhago bhangalya wala kung'wa shoshowe.
And he was three days not seeing, and did not eat or drink.
10 Bhai, ku Dameshiki kula ashinkupagwa nkujiganywa jumo ashemwaga a Anania. Bhakulungwa gubhammalanjile nng'agamii “a Anania!” A Ananiya gubhajitishe, “Nne apano, Mmakulungwa.”
Now there was a certain disciple in Damascus, named Ananias, and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold me, Lord.
11 Bhakulungwa gubhaabhalanjile, “Nnjabhule nnjende kumpanda ushemwa Mpanda gwa Goloka mpaka kunyumba ja a Yuda nkaabhushishiye bhandu bha ku Tasho bhaashemwa a Shauli, nnaino bhanajuga Nnungu,
And the Lord said to him, After rising, go into the street called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas, a man named Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he is praying.
12 na bhalabho a Shauli ng'agamii bhashinkwaabhona bhandu bhashemwa a Anania bhalijinjila nnyumba nikwaabhishila makono nkupinga bhalole kabhili.”
And he saw in a vision a man named Ananias who came in and laid a hand on him, so that he might receive sight.
13 Ikabheje a Anania gubhajangwile, “Mmakulungwa, njipilikana kubhandu bhabhagwinji ngani jangali jambone ja bhene bhandubho, ga ibhaatendangaga bhandu bha Ukonjelo bhenu ku Yelushalemu.
But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how many evil things he did to thy sanctified at Jerusalem.
14 Na bhashikwiya apano bhabhapegwe amuli kukopoka kubhakulungwanji bha bhaabhishila ja kwaakamulanga bhakunkulupalilanga mmwe a Yeshu.”
And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call upon thy name.
15 Ikabheje Bhakulungwa gubhaabhalanjile, “Nnjendepe, pabha njikwaagula bhabhe bhatumishi bhangu, bhapite lunguya lina lyangu kubhandunji bha ilambo ina na kubhanangulungwa bhabhonji na ku bha Ishilaeli.
But the Lord said to him, Go, because this man is a chosen vessel to me, to bear my name before Gentiles and kings, and sons of Israel.
16 Nne namwene shinaalanguye shibhapinga potekwa kwa ligongo lya lina lyangu.”
For I will give him a glimpse of how many things it is necessary for him to suffer for my name.
17 Bhai, a Anania gubhapitejinjila nnyumbamo. Kungai gubhaabhishile makono a Shauli, gubhashite, “Apwanga a Shauli, Bhakulungwa a Yeshu bhankoposhele mumpanda nnikwiya apano, bhashinduma nimmishile makono nkupinga nnole kabhili na nngumbaywe naka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.”
And Ananias departed and entered into the house. And having laid hands on him he said, Brother Saul, the Lord, he who appeared to thee on the road on which thou came, has sent me so that thou may receive sight, and be filled of the Holy Spirit.
18 Shangupe indu mbuti ipande ikugwaga kukopoka mmeyo ga a Shauli, gubhalolile kabhili, gubhajimi gubhabhatishwe.
And straightaway there fell from his eyes, like scales, and he looked up. And immediately after rising up, he was immersed.
19 Bhakalyeje shalya gubhakwete mashili kabhili. A Shauli gubhatemi ku Dameshiki mobha gashoko na bhaajiganywa bhapalinji pepala.
And having received nourishment, he was strengthened. And Saul became with the disciples in Damascus some days.
20 Shangupe gubhatandwibhe kulunguya nnyumba ya jujila Nnungu kuti, a Yeshu Bhanabhabho a Nnungu.
And straightaway he proclaimed the Christ in the synagogues, that this man is the Son of God.
21 Bhandu bhowe bhaapilikenenje gubhakanganigwenje, gubhashitenje, “Bhuli, bhenebha nngabha bhaabhulegenje bhakwaakulupalilanga a Yeshu ku Yelushalemu? Bhashinkwiya apano bhatumbilile kukwakamulanga bhene bhandunjibho nkupinga bhaapelekanje ku bhakulungwanji bha bhaabhishila!”
And all those who heard were amazed, and said, Is this not the man who destroyed those in Jerusalem who call on this name? And he has come here for this, so that he might bring them bound to the chief priests.
22 A Shauli gubhapundile kukola mashili na bhalikong'ondela kuti a Yeshu ni a Kilishitu, Bhayaudi bha ku Dameshiki gubhakanganigwenje kwa kaje.
But Saul was strengthened more, and was confounding the Jews who dwell at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
23 Gakapiteje mobha gamagwinji, Bhayaudi gubhaimenenje nkuloleya mwa kwabhulajila a Shauli.
And after considerable days were fulfilled, the Jews plotted to destroy him,
24 Ikabheje a Shauli gubhapilikene malobhe gala. Bhandu bhatendaga kwaajubhililanga shilo na mui mmilango ja jinjilila nshilambomo, nkupinga bhaabhulaganje.
but their plot was known to Saul. And they watched the gates both day and night so that they might destroy him.
25 Ikabheje malanga ga shilo bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhaatolilenje, gubhaatuluyenje pai nshikapu shashikulungwa kupitila likumba lya lugwani.
But the disciples, after taking him by night, let him down through the wall, having lowered him in a hamper.
26 A Shauli bhakaisheje ku Yelushalemu gubhalinjile kwiilunda munkumbi gwa bhaajiganywa bhala ikabheje, bhowe gubhaajogopenje na jwakwa akulupalile kuti nabhalabho bhashibha bhaajiganywa.
And when Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he attempted to join with the disciples, and they all feared him, not believing that he is a disciple.
27 Penepo a Bhanabha gubhaishe kukwaatola a Shauli, gubhaapeleshe kwa ashimitume na gubhatalashiye, a Shauli shibhashite kwaabhona Bhakulungwa nikunguluka nabho. Na kabhili gubhalugwile ga a Shauli kulunguya ku Dameshiki gwangali bhoga kwa lina lya a Yeshu.
But Barnabas having taken him, he brought him to the apostles. And he related to them how he saw the Lord on the road, and that he spoke to him, and how he spoke boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
28 Bhai, a Shauli gubhatemi nabhonji, bhaliowa pa Yelushalemu powe pita lunguya lilobhe lya a Nnungu gwangali lipamba kwa lina lya a Yeshu.
And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem, and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus.
29 Na kabhili bhatendaga taukangana na Bhayaudi bhabheleketangaga Shigiliki, na gubhalinjilenje kwaabhulaga.
And he spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they attempted to destroy him.
30 Bhaajiganywa bhala bhakapilikananjeje genego, gubhaatolilenje a Shauli, gubhaapelekenje ku Kaishalia, gubhaaleshilenje bhajende ku Tasho.
But when the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him away to Tarsus.
31 Gene mobhago bhandunji bha a Nnungu gubhatemingenenje kwa ulele, kutandubhila ku Yudea na ku Galilaya na ku Shamalia. Bhandunji bha a Nnungu gubhapundilenje kujenjesheka akuno bhalishimilikwanga na bhalikwaajogopanga a Nnungu bhalitagwanga ntima naka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo.
Indeed therefore the congregations throughout the whole of Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being edified. And, going in the fear of the Lord and in the encouragement of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.
32 A Petili bhali nkujima jima kila mmbali gubhaishe kubhandunji bha ukonjelo bhatamanganaga ku Lida.
And it came to pass, Peter, passing through all parts, to also come down to the sanctified who dwell at Lydda.
33 Kweneko gubhanng'imene mundu jumo ashemwaga a Ainea, jwenejo kwa yaka nng'ano na itatu akakombolaga kushoka pashinanda kwa ligongo lya poloka.
And he found there a certain man named Aeneas, who was paralyzed, laying on a bed for eight years.
34 Bhai, a Petili gubhaabhalanjile, “A Ainea, a Yeshu Kilishitu bhanakunnamya. Njumushe, ntandishe shinanda shenu.” Shangupe, a Ainea gubhajimi.
And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals thee. Arise and make thy bed. And straightaway he arose.
35 Bhashilambo bhowe bha ku Lida na ku Shaloni bhakaabhonanjeje a Ainea, gubhaatendebhushilenje Bhakulungwa.
And all those dwelling at Lydda and Sharon who saw him, turned to the Lord.
36 Bhashinkupagwa bhaajiganywa bhamo bhakongwe ku Yapa bhashemwaga a Tabhita, kwa Shigiliki a Dolikashi, malombolelo gakwe, mbala. Bhene bhakongwebho bhatendaga tenda ya uguja na mobha gowe bhatendaga kwaajangutilanga bhaalaga.
Now at Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which, being translated, is called Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and charities that she did.
37 Gene mobhago bhakulwalaga, gubhawile. Bhandunji gubhakundilenje maiti gabho, gubhagagonekenje kukati jaliji kugolopa.
And in those days, having been ill, she happened to die. And after washing her, they laid her in an upper chamber.
38 Na pabha ku Yapa kwangatalikangana kaje na ku Lida, kwa nneyo bhaajiganywa bhakapilikananjeje kuti a Petili kubhali ku Lida, gubhaatumilenje bhantenga bhabhili bhakalugulanje kuti, “Shangu nnjiye kunngwetu.”
And since Lydda is near Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter is in it, they sent two men to him, exhorting him not to delay to go through to them.
39 Bhai, a Petili gubhajabhwile gubhalongene nabhonji. Bhakaisheje gubhapelekwe kugolopa mpaka kukati kula. Kweneko bhanabhakongwe bhabhagwinji bhashitenga gubhaatimbililenje a Petili bhaligutanga akuno bhalikwaalanguyanga magauni na nngubho ibhaalayaga a Dolikashi pubhaliji bhakoto.
And after rising, Peter went with them, whom, after coming, they brought into the upper chamber. And all the widows stood by him weeping, and exhibiting the coats and garments, as many things as Dorcas made being with them.
40 A Petili gubhaakopoyenje palanga bhandu bhowe, gubhatindibhele, gubhajujile Nnungu. Kungai gubhagatendebhushile maiti gala gubhashite, “A Tabhita, nnjumushe.” Nabhalabho gubhabhalakwile meyo na bhakaabhoneje a Petili gubhajinwishe nitama.
But Peter, having sent them all out, having knelt down, he prayed. And having turned to the body, he said, Tabitha, arise. And the woman opened her eyes. And when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41 A Petili gubhaakamwile nkono nikwaajinula, kungai gubhaashemilenje bhandunji bha ukonjelo na bhashitenga bhala, gubhaakamuyenje bhali bhabhakoto.
And having given her a hand, he raised her up. And after calling the sanctified and the widows, he presented her alive.
42 Jene nganijo gujishumile mmbali yowe ya ku Yapa na bhandunji bhabhagwinji bhakwaakulupalilangaga Bhakulungwa.
And it became known throughout the whole of Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
43 A Petili gubhatemi mobha gashoko ku Yapa, ku bhandu bhamo bhabhamba mapende lina lyabho a Shimoni.
And it came to pass for him to remain considerable days at Joppa with a certain Simon, a tanner.
