Itendi 9
1 Gene mobhago a Shauli bhatendaga punda kujogoya bhalikwabhulaganga bhaajiganywa bha Bhakulungwa. Gubhapite ku Bhakulungwa Bhaabhishila,
Meanwhile Saul, still exhaling murderous threats against the disciples of the Lord, went 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.
and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he should find any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3 Ikabheje bhali mumpanda tome na ika ku Dameshiki, shangupe shilangaya kopoka kunnungu shikwamulishilaga mmbali yowe.
So it happened, as he was going, that he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven shone around him;
4 Gubhagwile pai gubhapilikene lilobhe lilikwabhalanjila, “Shauli! Shauli! Pakuti unamboteka?”
and falling to the ground he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
5 A Shauli gubhabhushiye, “Mmakulungwa, mmwe agani?” Gubhajangwilwe, “Nne a Yeshu nkumbotekajo.
So he said, “Who are you, Lord?” So the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting;
6 Ikabheje nnaino ujime, ujende kunnjini kweneko shiubhalanjilwe shiupinjikwa kutenda.”
but get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
7 Bhandunji bhalongenenje na a Shauli bhala, gubhajimingenenje ilili, bhakakwetenjeje shabheleketa, lilobhe lila bhalipilikenenje ikabheje bhangammonanga abheleketaga.
The men who were traveling with him stood speechless, hearing the sound but seeing no one.
8 A Shauli gubhajimi, bhakabhalakuleje meyo bhangashibhona shindu shoshowe, kwa nneyo bhandunji bhala gubhaakamwilenje nkono nikwalongoya mpaka kunjini ku Dameshiki.
Then Saul got up from the ground, and upon opening his eyes he saw no one; so leading him by the hand they brought him into Damascus.
9 A Shauli gubhatemi mobha gatatu gwangali lola, gene mobhago bhangalya wala kung'wa shoshowe.
He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
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 at Damascus named Ananias, and the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” So he said, “Here I am, 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,
So the Lord said to him: “Get up and go to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas inquire by name for Saul of Tarsus; because, you see, he is praying,
12 na bhalabho a Shauli ng'agamii bhashinkwaabhona bhandu bhashemwa a Anania bhalijinjila nnyumba nikwaabhishila makono nkupinga bhalole kabhili.”
and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and placing a hand on him, so that he might recover his 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 has done to Your saints in Jerusalem.
14 Na bhashikwiya apano bhabhapegwe amuli kukopoka kubhakulungwanji bha bhaabhishila ja kwaakamulanga bhakunkulupalilanga mmwe a Yeshu.”
Moreover here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who are calling on Your 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: “Get moving, because this man is a chosen vessel to me, to carry my name before nations and kings, also the children of Israel;
16 Nne namwene shinaalanguye shibhapinga potekwa kwa ligongo lya lina lyangu.”
for I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name's sake.”
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.”
So Ananias went and entered the house, and placing his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me so that you may recover your sight and be filled by Holy Spirit.”
18 Shangupe indu mbuti ipande ikugwaga kukopoka mmeyo ga a Shauli, gubhalolile kabhili, gubhajimi gubhabhatishwe.
Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he recovered his sight forthwith; and getting up he was baptized,
19 Bhakalyeje shalya gubhakwete mashili kabhili. A Shauli gubhatemi ku Dameshiki mobha gashoko na bhaajiganywa bhapalinji pepala.
and upon receiving food he was strengthened. So Saul was with the disciples in Damascus for a number of days.
20 Shangupe gubhatandwibhe kulunguya nnyumba ya jujila Nnungu kuti, a Yeshu Bhanabhabho a Nnungu.
Immediately he started proclaiming Jesus in the synagogues, that He is the Son of the 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!”
Well, all who heard him were astounded and started saying: “Isn't this the one who tried to destroy, in Jerusalem, those who called on this name? Even here he had come with that purpose, that he might take them bound to the high 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 kept growing stronger and kept on confounding the Jews who lived in Damascus, proving that ‘This One is the Christ.’
23 Gakapiteje mobha gamagwinji, Bhayaudi gubhaimenenje nkuloleya mwa kwabhulajila a Shauli.
Now when a good many days had passed, the Jews plotted to kill him;
24 Ikabheje a Shauli gubhapilikene malobhe gala. Bhandu bhatendaga kwaajubhililanga shilo na mui mmilango ja jinjilila nshilambomo, nkupinga bhaabhulaganje.
but their plot became known to Saul. They started watching the gates day and night, so that they might kill him;
25 Ikabheje malanga ga shilo bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhaatolilenje, gubhaatuluyenje pai nshikapu shashikulungwa kupitila likumba lya lugwani.
so the disciples took him by night and passed him through the wall, lowering 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.
Now upon arriving in Jerusalem Saul kept trying to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was 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 took him in tow and brought him to the apostles, and described to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that He had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken fearlessly in the name of the Lord Jesus.
28 Bhai, a Shauli gubhatemi nabhonji, bhaliowa pa Yelushalemu powe pita lunguya lilobhe lya a Nnungu gwangali lipamba kwa lina lya a Yeshu.
So he was with them in Jerusalem, going in and out, and speaking fearlessly in the name of Jesus.
29 Na kabhili bhatendaga taukangana na Bhayaudi bhabheleketangaga Shigiliki, na gubhalinjilenje kwaabhulaga.
He kept on speaking and debating with the Hellenists, so they started trying to kill him.
30 Bhaajiganywa bhala bhakapilikananjeje genego, gubhaatolilenje a Shauli, gubhaapelekenje ku Kaishalia, gubhaaleshilenje bhajende ku Tasho.
Upon finding it out, the brothers brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off 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.
So then the congregations throughout all Judea and Galilee, and Samaria, had peace and were built up; and proceeding in the fear of the Lord and in the enabling of the Holy Spirit they were being multiplied.
32 A Petili bhali nkujima jima kila mmbali gubhaishe kubhandunji bha ukonjelo bhatamanganaga ku Lida.
Now it happened, as Peter went through all those parts, that he also went down to the saints who were living in 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 there he found a certain man named Aeneas who was paralyzed—he had been lying on a pallet for eight years.
34 Bhai, a Petili gubhaabhalanjile, “A Ainea, a Yeshu Kilishitu bhanakunnamya. Njumushe, ntandishe shinanda shenu.” Shangupe, a Ainea gubhajimi.
Peter said to him: “Aeneas, Jesus the Messiah is healing you. Get up and make your bed!” And immediately he stood up!
35 Bhashilambo bhowe bha ku Lida na ku Shaloni bhakaabhonanjeje a Ainea, gubhaatendebhushilenje Bhakulungwa.
All who were living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they 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 there was a certain disciple in Joppa named Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and charitable deeds that she kept doing.
37 Gene mobhago bhakulwalaga, gubhawile. Bhandunji gubhakundilenje maiti gabho, gubhagagonekenje kukati jaliji kugolopa.
But it happened in those days that she took sick and died; so when they had washed her they placed her in the upper room.
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.”
Now Lydda was near Joppa; the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent to him imploring him not to delay in coming 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.
So Peter got up and went with them; upon arriving they took him up to the upper room; all the widows stood around him weeping and showing the coats and garments that Dorcas was making while she was 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.
So Peter put them all out, kneeled down and prayed. Turning to the body he said, “Tabitha, get up!” So she opened her eyes, and upon seeing Peter she sat up.
41 A Petili gubhaakamwile nkono nikwaajinula, kungai gubhaashemilenje bhandunji bha ukonjelo na bhashitenga bhala, gubhaakamuyenje bhali bhabhakoto.
Then he gave her a hand and lifted her up, and calling the saints and widows he presented her alive.
42 Jene nganijo gujishumile mmbali yowe ya ku Yapa na bhandunji bhabhagwinji bhakwaakulupalilangaga Bhakulungwa.
And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord.
43 A Petili gubhatemi mobha gashoko ku Yapa, ku bhandu bhamo bhabhamba mapende lina lyabho a Shimoni.
So it was that he stayed many days in Joppa with a certain Simon, a tanner.
