Matendo ga Mitume 9
1 Lakini Sauli, kayendelea longela vitishi hata kwa kiwo cha banapunzi ba Ngwana, atiyenda kwa kuhani nkolo
And Saul, still breathing out threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the chief priest,
2 na kunnaba barua kwa ajili ya Masinagogi kolyo Dameski, ili panga mana ampatike mundu ywabile katika ndela yelo, awe nnalome au nnwawa, abatabe na kubaleta Yerusalem.
and asked of him letters to Damascus, for the synagogues, that, if he should find any who were of this persuasion, either men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3 Paabile katika safari, ipangite kuwa paakaribie Dameski, gafla utimwangazia kotekote bweya boka kumaunde,'
And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus; and suddenly there shone round about him a light from heaven.
4 ni ywembe atomboka pae na ayowine lilobe lambakiye, “Sauli, Sauli, mbona wanitesa nenga?”
And when he had fallen to the earth, he heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?
5 Sauli kayangwa, Wenga wa nyai Ngwana? Ngwana kabaya, “Nenga ni Yesu waniudhi.
He answered: Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said: I am Jesus, whom you persecute.
6 Lakini inuka, jingya mjini, wenga walowa bakilwa ya upalikwa kuyapanga.
But rise, and go into the city, and it shall be told you what you must do.
7 Balo bandu batisafiiri pamope na Sauli batami kimya, kabayowa lilobe ila bamweni kwaa mundu.
The men who journeyed with him stood amazed; for they heard a voice, but saw no one.
8 Sauli atiinuka katika nnema na paayongoli minyo gake, aweza kwaa bona kilebe, kabankamwa luboko bannetike Dameski.
And Saul arose from the earth, and when his eyes were opened, he saw no one; but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
9 Kwa masoba atatu abweni kwaa, alya kwaa wala anywa kwaa.
And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
10 Abile mwanapunzi Dameski lina lyake Anania, Ngwana alongela nae katika maono, “Anania.” No baya, “Linga, nibile pano, Ngwana.
Now there was a certain disciple in Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said to him in a vision: Ananias. He answered: Behold me, Lord.
11 “Ngwana kammakiya, Inuka uyende zako katika mtaa waukemelwa Nyofu, na katika nyumba ya Yuda na ukannaluye mundu boka Tarso ywakemelwa Sauli; mana angali aloba:
And the Lord said to him: Arise, and go into the street that is called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus: for behold, he is praying;
12 Na amweni katika maono mundu lina lyake Anania kajingya na kumbekya maboko nnani yake ila panga aweze kubona.
and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias, coming in and laying his hand on him, that he may receive his sight.
13 Lakini Anania kanyangwa, “Ngwana, niyowine habari za mundu yoo kwa bandu banyansima, kwa kiasi gani abatendea mabaya batakatifu na kolyo Yerusalemu;
But Ananias answered: Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how much evil he has done to thy saints in Jerusalem;
14 Pano abile na mamlaka boka kwa kuhani nkolo kuntaba kila yumo ywalikema lina lyako.
and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all that call upon thy name.
15 Lakini Ngwana kammakiya, “Uyende, mana ywembe ni chombo kiteule sango, alitole lina lyango nnongi ya Mataifa na apwalume na bana ba Israeli.
But the Lord said to him: Go; for he is a vessel chosen by me to bear my name before nations and kings, and the sons of Israel.
16 Maana nalowa kuwabonekeya yabile ganyansima yaapalikwa kuteswa kwa ajili ya lina lyango.”
For I will show him what great things he must suffer for my name.
17 Anania kayenda, ajingii mu'nyumba; Kambekeya maboko kabaya, ndugu Sauli, Ngwana Yesu, ywakutokya katika ndela paubile waisa, anitumile upate kubona kae na utolilwe na Roho Mtakatifu.
And Ananias went, and entered the house, and laying his hands on him, said: Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me, that you may receive your sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
18 Gafla vyatomboka ilebe kati magamba, apatike kubona, ayemi, akabatizwa; kalyaa chakulya na kupata ngupu,
And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he instantly received his sight; and he arose, and was immersed.
19 Atami pamope na banapunzi bake kolyo Dameski kwa masoba ganyansima.
And, having taken food, he was strengthened. And he was with the disciples in Damascus for some days;
20 Muda wowolo kantangaza Yesu katika masinagogi, kabaya panga ywembe ni Ngwana wa Nnongo.
and immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Sou of God.
21 Na bote bayowine batishangala no baya, “Abile mundu yolo kwaa ywaatibaharibu bote balikemile lina lee kolyo Yerusalemu? Na pano kaisa kwa kusudi lya kuwafunga na kuwapeleka kwa makuhani,”
And all that heard him were astonished, and said: Is not this he who destroyed in Jerusalem those that call on this name, and who has come hither for this purpose, that he might carry them bound to the chief priests?
22 Lakini Sauli atiwezeshwa hubiri na kubapanga Bayahudi batami Dameski basanganyikilwe na kuthibitisha ya kuwa ayoo nga Kristo.
But Saul increased the more in strength, and confuted the Jews that dwelt in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
23 Baada ya masoba ganansima, Bayahudi bapanga shauri pamope ili wamulage.
And, after many days had passed, the Jews determined to kill him.
24 Lakini mpango wabe utiyowanika na Sauli. Kabamvizia pannango mutwekati na kilo bapate kumulaga.
And their plot was made known to Saul; and they watched the gates day and night, that they might kill him.
25 Lakini banapunzi bake kabantola kilo na kunshusha pitya ukutani, kabanneta pae mu'kitondo.
But the disciples took him by night, and let him down through the vail in a basket,
26 Na sauli paaikite Yerusalemu, atijaribu kujiunga na banapunzi lakini babile bakimwogopa, basadiki kwaa kuwa ywembe ni mwanapunzi.
And having come to Jerusalem, he attempted to associate with the disciples: and they were all afraid of him, for they did not believe that he was a disciple.
27 Lakini Barnaba kantola na kumpeleka kwa mitume, na aabakiye jinsi Sauli yaamweni Ngwana mu'ndela na Ngwana yaa alongela nakwe, na jinsi Sauli atihubiri kwa ujasiri kwa lina lya Yesu kolyo Dameski.
But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and told them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had boldly preached in Damascus in the name of Jesus.
28 Atikwembana nabembe kabajingya na boka Yerusalemu, abaya kwa ujasiri kwa lina lya Ngwana Yesu.
And he was with them in Jerusalem, coming in and going out; and, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus,
29 Kabalongela na Ayahudi wa Kiyunani lakini batijaribu mara kwa mara kumulaga.
he conversed and reasoned with the Hellenists; but they undertook to kill him.
30 Muda palitangite likowe lee, kabantola mpaka Kaisaria, na batimpeleka ayende Tarso.
And when the brethren learned this, they brought him down to Cæsarea, and sent him out to Tarsus.
31 Bai likanisa lyote katika Uyahudi, Galilaya na Samaria, libile na amani, lichengwite, na tyanga katika hofu ya Ngwana na faraja ya Roho Mtakatifu, likanisa latikuwa na yongekeya idadi ya bandu.
Then the churches throughout the whole of Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, and were edified; and, walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.
32 Boka po itokii Petro paabile kazunguka zunguka pande zote za mkoa, akabateremkia baumini batama katika mji wa Lida.
And it came to pass that Peter, passing through all the places, came down also to the saints that dwelt in Lydda.
33 Amweni kolyo mundu yumo lina lyake Ainea, mundu yolo abile pakindanda myaka nane; mana abile atipooza.
And he found there a certain man named Æneas, who was a paralytic, and had kept his bed for eight years.
34 Petro kammakiya, “Ainea, Yesu Kristo akuponye; amka ni uyitandikiye kindanda sako.” mara atiamka.
And Peter said to him: Æneas, Jesus the Christ restores you to health; arise, and spread your bed for yourself. And he immediately arose;
35 Na bandu bote batami Lida na Sharoni pabamweni mundu yolo, batimkerebukya Ngwana.
and all that dwelt in Lydda and Saron saw him; and they turned to the Lord.
36 Pabile na mwanapunzi Yafa akemelwa Tabitha, ambalo mana yake “Dorcas” Ayoo nnwawa atwelilwe kazi inoite na matendo ga rehema aipangite kwa maskini.
Now there was in Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which name, when translated, is Dorcas. She was full of good works and deeds of charity which she did.
37 Yatipangika katika masoba ago abile ntamwe na awile, pabamsafisha, no kumpandisha chumba cha kunani na kumgonjekea.
And it came to pass, in those days, that she was taken sick, and died. And when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
38 Kwa namna Lida abile papipi na Yafa, banapunzi bayowine panga Petro abile kolyo, batibatuma bandu abele kwake, kabamsihi, “Uise kwitu bila kuchelewa.”
And as Lydda was near to Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, requesting him to make no delay in coming to them.
39 Petro atiamka na kaboka pamope nabembe. Paaikite, bannetike katika chumba cha kunani. Na ajane bote bayemi papipi niywembe niywembe kabalela, bakinlolekeya koti na ngobo ambazo Dorcas atibashonea muda abile pamope nabo.
Then Peter arose, and went with them; and when he had come, they brought him into the upper room; and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments that Dorcas made while she was with them.
40 Petro kabatoa bote panja ya nyumba, kapiga magoti na kuloba, boka po, atiukerebukya yega, “Tabitha, amka.” Ayongoli minyo gake na paamweni Petro atami pae.
But Peter put them all out, and kneeled down and prayed; and turning to the body, he said: Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41 Boka po ampeya luboko lwake na kumwinua, na paabakema baamini na bajane, atibakabidhi kwabe abile nkoto.
And he gave her his hand, and raised her up. And when he had called in the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
42 Likowe lee liyowanike Yafa yote, na bandu banyansima bamwaminiya Ngwana.
And it was known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord.
43 Ipangite Petro atama masoba ganyansima Yafa pamope na mundu ywakemelwa Simoni, ywatengeneza ngozi.
And it came to pass, that he remained many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
