Itendi 9
1 Gene mobhago a Shauli bhatendaga punda kujogoya bhalikwabhulaganga bhaajiganywa bha Bhakulungwa. Gubhapite ku Bhakulungwa Bhaabhishila,
And Saul was still full of threats and deadly hatred against the disciples of our Lord.
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 he requested that a letter from the high priest might be given him unto Damascus to the synagogues; that if he should find persons pursuing this course, men or women, he might bind and bring them to Jerusalem.
3 Ikabheje bhali mumpanda tome na ika ku Dameshiki, shangupe shilangaya kopoka kunnungu shikwamulishilaga mmbali yowe.
And as he was going, and began to approach Damascus, suddenly there was poured upon him a light from heaven.
4 Gubhagwile pai gubhapilikene lilobhe lilikwabhalanjila, “Shauli! Shauli! Pakuti unamboteka?”
And he fell to the ground; and he heard a voice which said to him: Saul! Saul! why persecutest thou me? It will be hard for thee to kick against the goads.
5 A Shauli gubhabhushiye, “Mmakulungwa, mmwe agani?” Gubhajangwilwe, “Nne a Yeshu nkumbotekajo.
He replied, and said: Who art thou, my Lord? And our Lord said: I am Jesus the Nazarean, whom thou persecutest.
6 Ikabheje nnaino ujime, ujende kunnjini kweneko shiubhalanjilwe shiupinjikwa kutenda.”
But arise and go into the city, and there it will be told thee what thou oughtest to do.
7 Bhandunji bhalongenenje na a Shauli bhala, gubhajimingenenje ilili, bhakakwetenjeje shabheleketa, lilobhe lila bhalipilikenenje ikabheje bhangammonanga abheleketaga.
And the men who travelled with him in the way, stood amazed; for they heard merely the voice, and no one was visible to them.
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 nothing was visible to him, with his eyes opened. And they took him by the hand, and led him into Damascus.
9 A Shauli gubhatemi mobha gatatu gwangali lola, gene mobhago bhangalya wala kung'wa shoshowe.
And he had no sight for three days; and he 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.”
And there was in Damascus a certain disciple, whose name was Ananias. And the Lord said to him, in a vision: Ananias! And he said: Lo, I am here, my 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 our Lord said to him: Arise, go to the street which is called Straight; and inquire in the house of Judas, for Saul who is from the city of Tarsus: for, lo, while he prayed,
12 na bhalabho a Shauli ng'agamii bhashinkwaabhona bhandu bhashemwa a Anania bhalijinjila nnyumba nikwaabhishila makono nkupinga bhalole kabhili.”
he saw in vision a man named Ananias, who came and laid his hand upon him, that his eyes might be opened.
13 Ikabheje a Anania gubhajangwile, “Mmakulungwa, njipilikana kubhandu bhabhagwinji ngani jangali jambone ja bhene bhandubho, ga ibhaatendangaga bhandu bha Ukonjelo bhenu ku Yelushalemu.
And Ananias said: My Lord, I have heard of this man, from many, how much evil he hath perpetrated towards thy saints at Jerusalem.
14 Na bhashikwiya apano bhabhapegwe amuli kukopoka kubhakulungwanji bha bhaabhishila ja kwaakamulanga bhakunkulupalilanga mmwe a Yeshu.”
And, lo, here also, he hath authority from the chief priests, to bind all them that call on 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.
The Lord said to him: Arise and go; for he is to me a chosen vessel, to carry my name to the Gentiles, and to kings, and among the sons of Israel.
16 Nne namwene shinaalanguye shibhapinga potekwa kwa ligongo lya lina lyangu.”
For I will show him, how much he is to suffer on account of 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.”
Then Ananias went to the house to him; and he laid his hand upon him, and said to him: Saul, my brother, our Lord Jesus, he who appeared to thee by the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thy eyes might be opened, and thou be filled with the Holy Spirit.
18 Shangupe indu mbuti ipande ikugwaga kukopoka mmeyo ga a Shauli, gubhalolile kabhili, gubhajimi gubhabhatishwe.
And immediately there fell from his eyes something like a scab; and his eyes were opened. And he arose and was baptized.
19 Bhakalyeje shalya gubhakwete mashili kabhili. A Shauli gubhatemi ku Dameshiki mobha gashoko na bhaajiganywa bhapalinji pepala.
And he took food, and was invigorated. And he was some days with the disciples of Damascus.
20 Shangupe gubhatandwibhe kulunguya nnyumba ya jujila Nnungu kuti, a Yeshu Bhanabhabho a Nnungu.
And forthwith he announced Jesus, in the synagogues of the Jews, that he 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 they that heard him were amazed; and they said: Is not this he, who persecuted all them that call on this name in Jerusalem? And lo, for this very thing also, was he sent hither, that he might bind and carry them 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 the more strengthened; and he confounded those Jews who dwelt at Damascus, while be demonstrated that this is the Messiah.
23 Gakapiteje mobha gamagwinji, Bhayaudi gubhaimenenje nkuloleya mwa kwabhulajila a Shauli.
And when he had been there many days, the Jews formed a conspiracy against him, to kill him.
24 Ikabheje a Shauli gubhapilikene malobhe gala. Bhandu bhatendaga kwaajubhililanga shilo na mui mmilango ja jinjilila nshilambomo, nkupinga bhaabhulaganje.
And the plot which they sought to execute upon him, was made known to Saul: and they watched the gates of the city by day and by night, in order to kill him.
25 Ikabheje malanga ga shilo bhaajiganywa bhabho gubhaatolilenje, gubhaatuluyenje pai nshikapu shashikulungwa kupitila likumba lya lugwani.
Then the disciples placed him in a basket, and let him down from the wall by night.
26 A Shauli bhakaisheje ku Yelushalemu gubhalinjile kwiilunda munkumbi gwa bhaajiganywa bhala ikabheje, bhowe gubhaajogopenje na jwakwa akulupalile kuti nabhalabho bhashibha bhaajiganywa.
And he went to Jerusalem; and he wished to join himself with the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, and did not believe 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, and brought him to the legates, and related to them how the Lord appeared to him in the way, and how he conversed with him; and how, in Damascus, he had discoursed openly 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 went in and out with them, at Jerusalem.
29 Na kabhili bhatendaga taukangana na Bhayaudi bhabheleketangaga Shigiliki, na gubhalinjilenje kwaabhulaga.
And he spoke openly in the name of Jesus and disputed with those Jews who understood Greek. But they wished to kill him:
30 Bhaajiganywa bhala bhakapilikananjeje genego, gubhaatolilenje a Shauli, gubhaapelekenje ku Kaishalia, gubhaaleshilenje bhajende ku Tasho.
and when the brethren knew it, they conducted him by night to Caesarea, and from there they sent him 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.
Moreover the church, in all Judaea, and in Galilee, and in Samaria, had peace and was edified; and it walked in the fear of God, and abounded in the consolation of the Holy Spirit.
32 A Petili bhali nkujima jima kila mmbali gubhaishe kubhandunji bha ukonjelo bhatamanganaga ku Lida.
And it occurred, that, as Simon travelled about the cities, he came down to the saints also who dwelt in the city of 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 a certain man whose name was 'neas, who had lain on a bed and been paralytic eight years.
34 Bhai, a Petili gubhaabhalanjile, “A Ainea, a Yeshu Kilishitu bhanakunnamya. Njumushe, ntandishe shinanda shenu.” Shangupe, a Ainea gubhajimi.
And Simon said to him: 'neas, Jesus the Messiah doth heal thee; arise, and spread thy bed. And he rose up immediately.
35 Bhashilambo bhowe bha ku Lida na ku Shaloni bhakaabhonanjeje a Ainea, gubhaatendebhushilenje Bhakulungwa.
And all they that dwelt at Lydda and Saron, saw him; and they turned to God.
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.
And there was in the city of Joppa, a certain female disciple named Tabitha; and she was rich in good works, and in the alms which she did.
37 Gene mobhago bhakulwalaga, gubhawile. Bhandunji gubhakundilenje maiti gabho, gubhagagonekenje kukati jaliji kugolopa.
And she fell sick in those days, and died; and they washed her, and laid her in an 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.”
And the disciples heard that Simon was in the city of Lydda, which is near to Joppa; and they sent two men to him, to request of him that he would not delay to come 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 Simon arose and went with them. And when he arrived, they conducted him to the chamber; and there were assembled around her all the widows, weeping, and showing him the tunics and the cloaks which Tabitha had given them when alive.
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.
And Simon put all the people out, and fell on his knees and prayed; and he turned to the corpse and said: Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and when she saw Simon, she sat up.
41 A Petili gubhaakamwile nkono nikwaajinula, kungai gubhaashemilenje bhandunji bha ukonjelo na bhashitenga bhala, gubhaakamuyenje bhali bhabhakoto.
And he reached to her his hand, and raised her up: and he called the saints and the widows, and presented her to them alive.
42 Jene nganijo gujishumile mmbali yowe ya ku Yapa na bhandunji bhabhagwinji bhakwaakulupalilangaga Bhakulungwa.
And this became known throughout the city; and many believed on our Lord.
43 A Petili gubhatemi mobha gashoko ku Yapa, ku bhandu bhamo bhabhamba mapende lina lyabho a Shimoni.
And he tarried in Joppa not a few days: and he lodged in the house of Simon a tanner.
