Imisebenzi 16
1 Wafika eDebhe wedlulela eListra lapho okwakuhlala khona umfundi owayethiwa nguThimothi, olonina owaye ngumJudakazi, elikholwa, kodwa uyise engumGrikhi.
Teƒe gbãtɔ si Paulo kple Sila de lae nye Derbe. Emegbe la, woyi Listra. Le afi sia la, wodo go nusrɔ̃la aɖe si ŋkɔe nye Timoteo, ame si dada nye Yudatɔ kple xɔsetɔ, ke fofoa nye Grikitɔ.
2 Abazalwane baseListra lase-Ikhoniyamu babemncoma.
Timoteo nye ɖekakpui aɖe si ƒe dɔwɔwɔ dze kristotɔ siwo le Listra kple Ikonio la ŋu ŋutɔ.
3 UPhawuli wayefuna ukuhamba laye, ngakho wasemsoka ngenxa yamaJuda akuleyondawo ngoba bonke babekwazi ukuthi uyise wayengumGrikhi.
Le esia ta la, Paulo bia tso esi be wòadze yewo yome le yewoƒe mɔzɔzɔ la me. Hafi woadze mɔ la, Paulo tso aʋa na Timoteo be wòaganye nuɖianu na Yudatɔ siwo le nuto la me o, elabena ele nyanya me na ame sia ame be Helatɔe nye Timoteo fofo.
4 Ekuhambeni kwabo kulelo lalelodolobho, babezethula izinqumo ezenziwa ngabapostoli labadala eJerusalema ukuze abantu bazilandele.
Azɔ woyi woƒe mɔzɔzɔ dzi henɔ tsatsam le duwo me. Afi sia afi si woɖo la, wogblɔa nya siwo dzi apostolowo kple hamemegãwo ɖo kpee le Yerusalem la na wo be woalé wo me ɖe asi.
5 Ngakho amabandla aqiniswa ekukholweni abantu banda mihla yonke.
Esia na be hameawo tsi ɖe edzi le xɔse me, eye woƒe xexlẽme hã dzi ɖe edzi.
6 UPhawuli labaphelekezeli bakhe bayibhoda yonke imango yaseFirigiya laseGalathiya, uMoya oNgcwele esemalele ukuthi atshumayele ilizwi edolobheni lase-Ezhiya.
Tso afi ma la, woyi Frigia kple Galatia nuto me, elabena Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la meɖe mɔ na wo be woayi Asianyigba dzi le ɣeyiɣi sia me o.
7 Bathi sebefike emngceleni waseMisiya, bazama ukungena eBhithiniya, kodwa uMoya kaJesu kawubavumelanga.
Woto Misia liƒo dzi heyina Bitinia lɔƒo. Ke Yesu ƒe gbɔgbɔ gaxe mɔ na wo, eya ta womete ŋu yi Bitinia o,
8 Ngakho bedlula eceleni kweMisiya behlela eTrowasi.
ke boŋ woto Misia nuto me heyi Troa.
9 Ebusuku uPhawuli wehlelwa ngumbono wendoda yaseMasedoniya imi imncenga isithi, “Woza eMasedoniya uzosisiza.”
Le gbe ma gbe ƒe zã me la, Paulo kpɔ ŋutega aɖe. Ekpɔ ame aɖe si tsi tsitre ɖe Makedonia le Helanyigba dzi nɔ kuku ɖem nɛ be, “Tso ƒu la nàva mía gbɔ le Makedonia afi sia, ne nàva kpe ɖe mía ŋu.”
10 UPhawuli esebone umbono lowo, sahle salungisa masinyane ukuthi siye eMasedoniya, sibona ukuthi uNkulunkulu wayesibizile ukuba sitshumayele ivangeli kubo.
Enumake míeɖoe be míayi Makedonia, elabena edze na mí kɔtɛe be Mawu le mía ɖom ɖe afi ma be míaɖagblɔ nyanyui la.
11 Sasuka eTrowasi sawela ulwandle santsheza saqonda eSamathrake, ngosuku olulandelayo sedlulela eNiyapholi.
Míeɖo tɔdziʋu le Troa va Samotrake, eye le ŋkeke evea gbe la, míeva ɖo Neapoli.
12 Sesisuka lapho saya eFiliphi, elaliyilona idolobho elikhulu lesiqinti seMasedoniya eyayibuswa ngamaRoma. Sahlala lapho okwensuku ezinengi.
Mlɔeba la, míeva ɖo Filipi si nye Romatɔwo ƒe du aɖe si le Makedonianyigba ƒe liƒo dzi tututu. Míenɔ afi ma ŋkeke geɖewo.
13 NgeSabatha saphumela ngaphandle kwamasango omuzi saya emfuleni sifuna indawo yokukhuleka. Sahlala phansi saqalisa ukukhuluma labesifazane ababebuthene khonapho.
Le Dzudzɔgbe dzi la, míeyi tɔsisi aɖe si didi tso dua gbɔ vie la to, afi si míese be ame aɖewo ƒoa ƒu ɖo doa gbe ɖa le, eye gbe ma gbe la, míegblɔ mawunya na nyɔnu siwo va teƒea.
14 Omunye walabo ababelalele ngowesifazane owayethiwa nguLidiya, umthengisi welembu eliyibubende evela edolobheni laseThiyathira, ekhonza uNkulunkulu. INkosi yayivula inhliziyo yakhe ukuba emukele ilizwi likaPhawuli.
Nyɔnu siawo dometɔ ɖekae nye Lidia, si nye avɔdzrala aɖe tso Tiatira. Enye mawuvɔ̃la xoxo, eye esi Paulo nɔ nu ƒom la, Mawu ʋu eƒe dzi, eye wòxɔ nya siwo katã Paulo gblɔ la dzi se.
15 Kwathi yena kanye labendlu yakhe sebebhaphathiziwe, wasinxusela emzini wakhe. Wathi, “Nxa lingemukela njengekholwa eNkosini, wozani lizohlala endlini yami.” Wasincenga savuma.
Esia ta míede mawutsi ta na eya kple eƒe aƒemetɔwo katã, eye emegbe la, ekpe mí be míava dze yeƒe aƒe me. Lidia gblɔ na mí be, “Ne miexɔe se tututu be menye Aƒetɔ la dzixɔsela vavã la, ekema miva dze gbɔnye.” Eƒoe ɖe mía nu ʋuu va se ɖe esime míelɔ̃ ɖadze egbɔ.
16 Ngelinye ilanga sathi sisiya endaweni yokukhuleka sahlangana lentombazana eyayiyisigqili, ilomoya wobungoma. Yayizuzela abanini bayo imali enengi ngalokho kuhlahlula.
Gbe ɖeka la, esi míenɔ mɔ dzi yina gbedoɖaƒe le tɔa to la, míedo go dɔlanyɔnuvi aɖe si me gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ nɔ, eye wòtea ŋu kaa nu na amewo, eye to esia me wòwɔa ga geɖe ŋutɔ na eƒe aƒetɔ, elabena kluvi wònye.
17 Intombazana le yalandela uPhawuli lathi sonke imemeza isithi, “Amadoda la ayizinceku zikaNkulunkulu oPhezukonke, alitshela indlela yokusindiswa.”
Ɖetugbi sia nɔ Paulo kple mía yome nɔ ɣli dom be, “Ame siawo la, Mawu Dziƒoʋĩtɔ la ƒe dɔlawo wonye, eye ɖe wova be yewoafia ale si miawɔ be miakpɔ ɖeɖe la mi.”
18 Yakwenza lokhu okwensuku ezinengi. Ekucineni uPhawuli kwamcaphula lokho waphenduka wathi kuwo umoya, “Ngiyakulaya ngebizo likaJesu Khristu ukuthi uphume kuyo!” Umoya wahle waphuma kuyo khonapho.
Ɖetugbi la wɔ nu sia ŋkeke geɖe, ke gbe ɖeka la, eva glo Paulo, ale wòtrɔ ɖe ɖetugbi la ŋu heblu ɖe gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ si le eme la ta be, “Mele gbe ɖem na wò le Yesu Kristo ƒe ŋkɔ me be nàdo go le ɖetugbi sia me fifi laa!” Gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃ la do go le eme enumake.
19 Abanikazi bentombazana bathi ngokunanzelela ukuthi ithemba labo lokuzuza imali laselinyamalele, bababamba, uPhawuli loSayilasi babadonsela enkundleni yokuthengisa ukuba bayeqondana leziphathamandla.
Nuwɔna sia do dziku na ɖetugbi sia ƒe aƒetɔwo, elabena wobu woƒe gakpɔmɔnu. Le esia ta la, wona wolé Paulo kple Silas hekplɔ wo yi dumegãwo ƒe ŋkume le dutoƒo.
20 Babamisa phambi kwabomantshi bathi, “Amadoda la angamaJuda asedunge idolobho lakithi
Wotso wo nu le ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo ŋkume be, “Yudatɔ siawo va le to gblẽm na amewo le dua me
21 ngokukhuthaza imikhuba engaphandle komthetho ukuthi thina amaRoma siyamukele kumbe siyilandele.”
be woawɔ nu siwo tsi tsitre ɖe Romatɔwo ƒe sewo ŋu.”
22 Ixuku layingenela indaba yokuhlasela uPhawuli loSayilasi, ngakho omantshi bathi kabakhululwe izigqoko batshaywe.
Kasia, ameha gã aɖe va ƒo ƒu tsi tsitre ɖe wo ŋu. Ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo na be wodze woƒe awuwo, eye woɖe gbe be woaƒo wo kple ati.
23 Sebebatshaye kabuhlungu babaphosela entolongweni kwathiwa umlindijele abakhangele aqinisise.
Esi woƒo wo wòte wo ŋu nyuie la, wotsɔ wo de gaxɔ me, eye wogblɔ na gaxɔdzikpɔla vevie be wòakpɔ wo dzi nyuie.
24 Esezwe lowomlayo wabafuqela endlini yentolongo ephakathi wababopha inyawo, wazibophela ensikeni.
Le esia ta la, gaxɔdzikpɔla hã mefe kpli wo kura o. Etsɔ wo de gaxɔa ƒe gogloeaƒe ke, eye wòde ga afɔ na wo sesĩe.
25 Sekungaba phakathi kwamabili ebusuku uPhawuli loSayilasi bakhuleka bahlabela amahubo kuNkulunkulu, ezinye izibotshwa zibalalele.
Le zã bliboa me la, Paulo kple Silas wonɔ gbe dom ɖa, nɔ ha dzim, nɔ Mawu kafum. Gaxɔmenɔla bubuawo hã nɔ woƒe hawo sem.
26 Masinyane kwaba lokuzamazama komhlaba kwaze kwanyikinyeka lezisekelo zentolongo. Izivalo zentolongo zathi gwabu zavuleka, amaketane ezibotshwa athukuluka.
Le zã ga wuieve me lɔƒo la, anyigba ʋuʋu sesĩe, eye gaxɔ blibo la ƒe gɔmeɖokpewo ʋuʋu kpekpekpe, ʋɔtruawo katã ʋu le wo ɖokuiwo si, eye ga si wode gaxɔmenɔla ɖe sia ɖe la ɖe ɖa.
27 Umlindijele waphaphama, wathi ngokubona iminyango yentolongo ivulekile, wakhokha inkemba yakhe esefuna ukuzibulala ngoba ekhumbula ukuthi izibotshwa zasezibalekile.
Esi gaxɔdzikpɔla nyɔ tso alɔ̃ me, eye wòkpɔ be ʋɔtruawo katã nɔ ʋuʋu ɖi la, vɔvɔ̃ ɖoe, elabena ebu be gamenɔlawo katã si dzo. Le esia ta la, eɖe eƒe yi le aku me be yeawu ye ɖokui.
28 Kodwa uPhawuli wamemeza wathi, “Ungazilimazi bo! Sikhona sonke!”
Ke Paulo do ɣli gblɔ nɛ be, “Nɔvi, mègawɔ nu vevi ɖokuiwò o; mí katã míele afi sia.”
29 Umlindijele wathi kakulethwe izibane, wangena wazilahla phambi kukaPhawuli loSayilasi eqhaqhazela.
Enumake gaxɔdzikpɔla la bia akaɖi; eƒu du yi ɖe eme, eye wòdze klo ɖe Paulo kple Silas ƒe afɔ nu le dzodzom nyanyanya.
30 Wasebakhuphela phandle wababuza wathi, “Madoda, ngenzeni ukuze ngisindiswe na?”
Ekplɔ wo do goe hebia be, “Aƒetɔwo, nu kae le nam be mawɔ be makpɔ ɖeɖe?”
31 Baphendula bathi, “Kholwa eNkosini uJesu, uzasindiswa; wena kanye lendlu yakho.”
Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Xɔ Aƒetɔ Yesu dzi se, ekema wò kple wò aƒe blibo la miakpɔ xɔxɔ.”
32 Basebemtshumayeza ngelizwi leNkosi kanye labanye abendlu yakhe.
Wogblɔ Aƒetɔ la ƒe nya na eya kple eƒe aƒemetɔwo katã.
33 Ngalelohola lebusuku umlindijele wabathatha wabagezisa imvimvinya zabo; kwasekusithi khonokho nje yena labendlu yakhe bahle babhaphathizwa.
Le zã ma ke me la, gaxɔdzikpɔla klɔ woƒe abiwo na wo, eye enumake wode mawutsi ta na eya kple eƒe aƒe blibo la.
34 Umlindijele wahamba labo endlini yakhe, wabapha ukudla. Indlu yakhe yonke yaba lokuthokoza ngoba basebekholwa kuNkulunkulu.
Ena nu wo woɖu, eye aƒea me tɔwo katã yɔ fũu kple dzidzɔ, elabena wotrɔ zu Mawu dzi xɔselawo.
35 Kwathi sokusile, omantshi bathuma amanxusa abo kumlindijele lomlayo othi: “Bakhulule abantu labo.”
Le ŋdi me la, ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo ɖo kpovitɔwo ɖe gaxɔdzikpɔla la kple gbeɖeɖe sia be, “Ɖe asi le ŋutsu mawo ŋu ne woadzo.”
36 Umlindijele watshela uPhawuli wathi, “Omantshi sebethe wena loSayilasi likhululwe. Selingahamba. Lihambe ngokuthula.”
Gaxɔdzikpɔla la gblɔ nya la na Paulo be, “Ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo ɖo gbe ɖa be woaɖe asi le wò kple Sila ŋuti, eya ta miate ŋu adzo azɔ. Miyi le ŋutifafa me.”
37 Kodwa uPhawuli wathi emanxuseni: “Basibhaxabule phambi kwabantu singazange sithonisiswe thina singamaRoma agcweleyo, basiphosela entolongweni. Kanti manje sebefuna ukusikhupha ngasese na? Hatshi! Kababuye bona ngokwabo bazesikhupha.”
Ke Paulo gblɔ na kpovitɔwo be, “Woƒo mí le dutoƒo ʋɔnumadrɔmadrɔ̃e togbɔ be míenye Romatɔwo hã; wode mí gaxɔ me, ke azɔ la, woaɖe mí ado goe le adzamea? Gbeɖe! Ɖeko woawo ŋutɔ nava hafi woakplɔ mí adoe.”
38 Amanxusa akubika lokhu kubomantshi abathi ngokuzwa ukuthi uPhawuli loSayilasi babengamaRoma agcweleyo, bethuka.
Kpovitɔ siwo wodɔ ɖo ɖe gaxɔdzikpɔla gbɔ la trɔ va gblɔ Paulo ƒe nya la na ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo, eye vɔvɔ̃ ɖo wo ŋutɔ esi wose be Paulo kple Sila nye Romatɔwo ta.
39 Beza ukuzabancenga, babakhupha entolongweni, babacela ukuthi basuke kulelodolobho.
Dumegãwo ɖe abla va wo gbɔ le gaxɔ la me, eye woɖe kuku na wo be woado go adzo le dua me.
40 UPhawuli loSayilasi sebephumile entolongweni baya endlini kaLidiya lapho abahlangana khona labazalwane babaqinisa. Basebesuka bahamba.
Wodo go le gaxɔ la me. Ale Paulo kple Sila trɔ yi Lidia ƒe aƒe me, eye xɔsetɔwo va ƒo ƒu ɖe wo ŋu, eye wogagblɔ nyanyui la na wo hafi dzo le dua me.
