Matendo ga Mitume 9
1 Lakini Sauli, kayendelea longela vitishi hata kwa kiwo cha banapunzi ba Ngwana, atiyenda kwa kuhani nkolo
And Saul was still full of threats and deadly hatred against the disciples of our Lord.
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 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 Paabile katika safari, ipangite kuwa paakaribie Dameski, gafla utimwangazia kotekote bweya boka kumaunde,'
And as he was going, and began to approach Damascus, suddenly there was poured upon him a light from heaven.
4 ni ywembe atomboka pae na ayowine lilobe lambakiye, “Sauli, Sauli, mbona wanitesa nenga?”
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 Sauli kayangwa, Wenga wa nyai Ngwana? Ngwana kabaya, “Nenga ni Yesu waniudhi.
He replied, and said: Who art thou, my Lord? And our Lord said: I am Jesus the Nazarean, whom thou persecutest.
6 Lakini inuka, jingya mjini, wenga walowa bakilwa ya upalikwa kuyapanga.
But arise and go into the city, and there it will be told thee what thou oughtest to do.
7 Balo bandu batisafiiri pamope na Sauli batami kimya, kabayowa lilobe ila bamweni kwaa mundu.
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 Sauli atiinuka katika nnema na paayongoli minyo gake, aweza kwaa bona kilebe, kabankamwa luboko bannetike Dameski.
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 Kwa masoba atatu abweni kwaa, alya kwaa wala anywa kwaa.
And he had no sight for three days; and he neither ate nor drank.
10 Abile mwanapunzi Dameski lina lyake Anania, Ngwana alongela nae katika maono, “Anania.” No baya, “Linga, nibile pano, Ngwana.
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 “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 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 amweni katika maono mundu lina lyake Anania kajingya na kumbekya maboko nnani yake ila panga aweze kubona.
he saw in vision a man named Ananias, who came and laid his hand upon him, that his eyes might be opened.
13 Lakini Anania kanyangwa, “Ngwana, niyowine habari za mundu yoo kwa bandu banyansima, kwa kiasi gani abatendea mabaya batakatifu na kolyo Yerusalemu;
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 Pano abile na mamlaka boka kwa kuhani nkolo kuntaba kila yumo ywalikema lina lyako.
And, lo, here also, he hath authority from the chief priests, to bind all them that call on 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.
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 Maana nalowa kuwabonekeya yabile ganyansima yaapalikwa kuteswa kwa ajili ya lina lyango.”
For I will show him, how much he is to suffer on account of 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.
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 Gafla vyatomboka ilebe kati magamba, apatike kubona, ayemi, akabatizwa; kalyaa chakulya na kupata ngupu,
And immediately there fell from his eyes something like a scab; and his eyes were opened. And he arose and was baptized.
19 Atami pamope na banapunzi bake kolyo Dameski kwa masoba ganyansima.
And he took food, and was invigorated. And he was some days with the disciples of Damascus.
20 Muda wowolo kantangaza Yesu katika masinagogi, kabaya panga ywembe ni Ngwana wa Nnongo.
And forthwith he announced Jesus, in the synagogues of the Jews, that he is the Son 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 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 Lakini Sauli atiwezeshwa hubiri na kubapanga Bayahudi batami Dameski basanganyikilwe na kuthibitisha ya kuwa ayoo nga Kristo.
But Saul was the more strengthened; and he confounded those Jews who dwelt at Damascus, while be demonstrated that this is the Messiah.
23 Baada ya masoba ganansima, Bayahudi bapanga shauri pamope ili wamulage.
And when he had been there many days, the Jews formed a conspiracy against him, to kill him.
24 Lakini mpango wabe utiyowanika na Sauli. Kabamvizia pannango mutwekati na kilo bapate kumulaga.
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 Lakini banapunzi bake kabantola kilo na kunshusha pitya ukutani, kabanneta pae mu'kitondo.
Then the disciples placed him in a basket, and let him down from the wall by night.
26 Na sauli paaikite Yerusalemu, atijaribu kujiunga na banapunzi lakini babile bakimwogopa, basadiki kwaa kuwa ywembe ni mwanapunzi.
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 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 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 Atikwembana nabembe kabajingya na boka Yerusalemu, abaya kwa ujasiri kwa lina lya Ngwana Yesu.
And he went in and out with them, at Jerusalem.
29 Kabalongela na Ayahudi wa Kiyunani lakini batijaribu mara kwa mara kumulaga.
And he spoke openly in the name of Jesus and disputed with those Jews who understood Greek. But they wished to kill him:
30 Muda palitangite likowe lee, kabantola mpaka Kaisaria, na batimpeleka ayende Tarso.
and when the brethren knew it, they conducted him by night to Caesarea, and from there they sent him 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.
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 Boka po itokii Petro paabile kazunguka zunguka pande zote za mkoa, akabateremkia baumini batama katika mji wa 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 Amweni kolyo mundu yumo lina lyake Ainea, mundu yolo abile pakindanda myaka nane; mana abile atipooza.
And he found a certain man whose name was 'neas, who had lain on a bed and been paralytic eight years.
34 Petro kammakiya, “Ainea, Yesu Kristo akuponye; amka ni uyitandikiye kindanda sako.” mara atiamka.
And Simon said to him: 'neas, Jesus the Messiah doth heal thee; arise, and spread thy bed. And he rose up immediately.
35 Na bandu bote batami Lida na Sharoni pabamweni mundu yolo, batimkerebukya Ngwana.
And all they that dwelt at Lydda and Saron, saw him; and they turned to God.
36 Pabile na mwanapunzi Yafa akemelwa Tabitha, ambalo mana yake “Dorcas” Ayoo nnwawa atwelilwe kazi inoite na matendo ga rehema aipangite kwa maskini.
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 Yatipangika katika masoba ago abile ntamwe na awile, pabamsafisha, no kumpandisha chumba cha kunani na kumgonjekea.
And she fell sick in those days, and died; and they washed her, and 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 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 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.
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 Petro kabatoa bote panja ya nyumba, kapiga magoti na kuloba, boka po, atiukerebukya yega, “Tabitha, amka.” Ayongoli minyo gake na paamweni Petro atami pae.
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 Boka po ampeya luboko lwake na kumwinua, na paabakema baamini na bajane, atibakabidhi kwabe abile nkoto.
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 Likowe lee liyowanike Yafa yote, na bandu banyansima bamwaminiya Ngwana.
And this became known throughout the city; and many believed on our Lord.
43 Ipangite Petro atama masoba ganyansima Yafa pamope na mundu ywakemelwa Simoni, ywatengeneza ngozi.
And he tarried in Joppa not a few days: and he lodged in the house of Simon a tanner.
