Matendu 16
1 Hinu akahika ku Delibe na ku Lusitila, kweatamayi muwuliwa mmonga liina laki Timoti. Nyina waki mewawa avi msadika Myawudi, nambu dadi waki avi Mgiliki.
And he came to Derbe and Lystra, and lo, a certain disciple was there, by name Timotheus son of a certain woman, a believing Jewess, but of a father, a Greek,
2 Timoti alumbiwi bwina na vamsadika va ku Lusitila na ku Ikonio.
who was well testified to by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium;
3 Pauli aganili kulongosana na Timoti mulugendu, hinu akamdumula jandu. Akitili chenicho ndava Vayawudi voha vevatamayi pandi zila, vamanyili kuvya dadi wa Timoti avi Mgiliki.
this one did Paul wish to go forth with him, and having taken [him], he circumcised him, because of the Jews who are in those places, for they all knew his father — that he was a Greek.
4 Pavavi mulugendu lwa mumiji vavajovela vandu malagizu ga vamitumi vala na vagogo vala va ku Yelusalemu, vakavajovela vagalanda.
And as they were going on through the cities, they were delivering to them the decrees to keep, that have been judged by the apostles and the elders who [are] in Jerusalem,
5 Hinu msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika kilisitu vakangamala muusadika, ndi vakayonjokeseka kila ligono.
then, indeed, were the assemblies established in the faith, and were abounding in number every day;
6 Vakapitila mumiji ya Flugia na Galatia muni Mpungu Msopi nakuvayidakila kukokosa ujumbi wula ku Asia.
and having gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,
7 Pavahikili mumibaka ya Musia, valingili kuyingila mulima wa Bisunia. Nambu Mpungu wa Yesu nakuvayidakila.
having gone toward Mysia, they were trying to go on toward Bithynia, and the Spirit did not suffer them,
8 Hinu vapitili ku Musia na kuhamba lumonga ku Tloa.
and having passed by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
9 Lukumbi lwa kilu, Pauli akalota maono amuwene mundu mmonga wa ku Makedonia ayimili balapala na kumuyupa, “Kupuka ubwela ku Makedonia utitangatila.”
And a vision through the night appeared to Paul — a certain man of Macedonia was standing, calling upon him, and saying, 'Having passed through to Macedonia, help us;' —
10 Pauli peagawene maono gala, bahapo tajitendelekili kukupuka kuhamba Makedonia muni tamanyili chakaka Chapanga atikemili tihamba kuvakokosela Lilovi la Bwina kwenuko.
and when he saw the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go forth to Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord hath called us to preach good news to them,
11 Tagendili muwatu kuhuma ku Tloa mbaka Samotilake, na chilau yaki tahikili Neapoli.
having set sail, therefore, from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, on the morrow also to Neapolis,
12 Kuhuma kwenuko tikahamba ku Filipi muji mmonga pamulima wa Makedonia, Likoloni la Valumi. Ndi tatamili muji wenuwo mulukumbi lwa magono.
thence also to Philippi, which is a principal city of the part of Macedonia — a colony. And we were in this city abiding certain days,
13 Ligono la Kupumulila tahumuli kuvala ya muji, na kuhamba pamuhana ya mfuleni pandu petahololela pakuyupila Chapanga. Ndi tikatama na kulongela na vadala vevakonganiki penapo.
on the sabbath-day also we went forth outside of the city, by a river, where there used to be prayer, and having sat down, we were speaking to the women who came together,
14 Mmonga wa vadala vevatiyuwanila vala, avi mdala mmonga msadika liina laki Lidia, mkolonjinji wa Tuatila, mweigula na kugulisa nyula za mashonga gamahele. Bambu amdindwili mtima waki hati akagalanda malovi gala geajova Pauli.
and a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, worshipping God, was hearing, whose heart the Lord did open to attend to the things spoken by Paul;
15 Mdala yula pamonga na vandu va munyumba yaki pevamali kubatiziwa, akatigongolela, “Ngati chakaka myidakili kuvya nene namsadika wa Bambu, mbwela kutama kunyumba yangu.” Akakangamala kutijovela tihamba.
and when she was baptized, and her household, she did call upon us, saying, 'If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, having entered into my house, remain;' and she constrained us.
16 Ligono limonga patakavi mukuhamba pandu pa kumuyupa Chapanga, takonganiki na msikana mmonga mvanda mweavi na mzuka wa kulondola. Mdala mwenuyo avapela mashonga gamahele vandu vana vindu vyamahele ndava ulondola waki.
And it came to pass in our going on to prayer, a certain maid, having a spirit of Python, did meet us, who brought much employment to her masters by soothsaying,
17 Msikana yula akatilanda Pauli na tete, ijova kwa lwami luvaha, “Vandu ava ndi vatumisi va Chapanga Mkulu! Vakuvadandaulila njila ya kusanguka!”
she having followed Paul and us, was crying, saying, 'These men are servants of the Most High God, who declare to us a way of salvation;'
18 Akitili chenicho kwa magono gamahele mbaka ligono limonga Pauli akayoma, akamng'anamukila na kuujovela mzuka wula, “Muuhotola wa Yesu Kilisitu nikulagiza muwuka mundu uyu!” Bahapo mzuka wula ukamuwuka.
and this she was doing for many days, but Paul having been grieved, and having turned, said to the spirit, 'I command thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come forth from her;' and it came forth the same hour.
19 Vakulu va mvanda yula pavawene mpangu wavi wa kupata mashonga kuhuma kwa mvanda wavi umaliki, vakavakamula Pauli na Sila na kuvakwekesa pandu pakugulisila vindu, palongolo ya vakulu va muji.
And her masters having seen that the hope of their employment was gone, having caught Paul and Silas, drew [them] to the market-place, unto the rulers,
20 Vakavatakila kwa vahamula mihalu va Loma na kujova, “Vandu ava vileta chitututu pamuji witu navene ndi Vayawudi.
and having brought them to the magistrates, they said, 'These men do exceedingly trouble our city, being Jews;
21 Viwula mivelu yeyibesiwi kwa tete vandu va ku Loma kuyidakila na kuyilanda.”
and they proclaim customs that are not lawful for us to receive nor to do, being Romans.'
22 Na msambi wa vandu wewavi penapo ukavatova Pauli na Sila. Kangi vahamula mihalu vala vakavapapula nyula za Pauli na Sila, vakahamula vatovewayi ndonga.
And the multitude rose up together against them, and the magistrates having torn their garments from them, were commanding to beat [them] with rods,
23 Pevamali kuvatova neju, vakavasopa muchifungu na linjolinjoli wa jela alagaziwi kuvya mihu muulonda.
many blows also having laid upon them, they cast them to prison, having given charge to the jailor to keep them safely,
24 Ndava ya malagizu genago, linjolinjoli wa jela akavasopa muchumba cha mugati neju na kuvakunga magendelu gavi muhibiki.
who such a charge having received, did put them to the inner prison, and their feet made fast in the stocks.
25 Peyahikili pagati ya kilu Pauli na Sila vamuyupayi na kumuyimbila nyimbu za kumulumbalila Chapanga, kuni vafungwa vayavi vakuvayuwanila.
And at midnight Paul and Silas praying, were singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were hearing them,
26 Chigafula mndendemo mvaha wa ndima ukahumila, wewanyugwisi mikingisa ya jela. Bahapo milyangu hikadinduka na minyololo yevakungiwi vafungwa yikawopoka.
and suddenly a great earthquake came, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, opened also presently were all the doors, and of all — the bands were loosed;
27 Linjolinjoli wa jela peayumwiki na kulola milyangu ya jela gavi mbee, akatola upanga na kugana kujikoma, ndava aholalili kuvya vafungwa voha vatilili.
and the jailor having come out of sleep, and having seen the doors of the prison open, having drawn a sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to be fled,
28 Nambu Pauli akakemela kwa lwami luvaha, “Ukoto kujikoma wamwene, muni tee tavoha takona tivii!”
and Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, 'Thou mayest not do thyself any harm, for we are all here.'
29 Linjolinjoli yula peamali kuyupa hahi, akajumbalila mugati akajigwisa pahi pa magendelu ga Pauli na Sila kuni ivagaya kwa wogohi.
And, having asked for a light, he sprang in, and trembling he fell down before Paul and Silas,
30 Kangi akavalongosa mbaka kuvala, akavakota, “Mwavakulu vangu, nikita kyani nihotola kusanguka?”
and having brought them forth, said, 'Sirs, what must I do — that I may be saved?'
31 Vene vakamyangula, “Umsadika Bambu Yesu ndi veve pamonga na vandu va munyumba yaku yati mwisanguliwa.”
and they said, 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved — thou and thy house;'
32 Hinu vakamkokosela Lilovi la Bambu mwene pamonga na vandu va munyumba yaki.
and they spake to him the word of the Lord, and to all those in his household;
33 Lukumbi lulolo lwa kilu, linjolinjoli wa jela yula akavatola na kuvasambisa mavamba gavi, kangi mwene na vandu va munyumba yaki vabatiziwi bahapo.
and having taken them, in that hour of the night, he did bathe [them] from the blows, and was baptized, himself and all his presently,
34 Kangi akavagongolela Pauli na Sila kunyumba yaki, kuvapela chakulya. Mwene pamonga na vandu va munyumba yaki vakavya na luheku neju ndava hinu vakumsadika Chapanga.
having brought them also into his house, he set food before [them], and was glad with all the household, he having believed in God.
35 Chilau yaki lukela, vahamula mihalu va Chiloma vavatumili vakulu va manjolinjoli na malagizu aga, “Muvadindulila vandu vala.”
And day having come, the magistrates sent the rod-bearers, saying, 'Let those men go;'
36 Linjolinjoli wa jela akamjovela Pauli, “Vahamula mihalu va Loma vatumili na ujumbi uwu kwa veve na Sila mudinduliwayi. Hinu mwihotola kuhuma na muhamba na uteke.”
and the jailor told these words unto Paul — 'The magistrates have sent, that ye may be let go; now, therefore, having gone forth go on in peace;'
37 Nambu Pauli akamyangula, “Gavi wuli? Tahokili lepi vatitovili ndonga pavandu kuni tavete tavakolonjinji wa ku Loma. Kangi vatisopili muchifungu na hinu vigana kutidindulila cha mfiyu! Hati padebe! Yikuvagana vene vahamula mihalu ndi vabwela kutidindulila.”
and Paul said to them, 'Having beaten us publicly uncondemned — men, Romans being — they did cast [us] to prison, and now privately do they cast us forth! why no! but having come themselves, let them bring us forth.'
38 Vakulu va manjolinjoli vakavadandaulila lijambu lila vahamula mihalu, hinu vene pevayuwini kuvya Pauli na Sila vavi vakolonjinji va mulima wa ku Loma vayogwipi.
And the rod-bearers told to the magistrates these sayings, and they were afraid, having heard that they are Romans,
39 Ndi vakahamba na kujova, “Chondi mpepayi,” Na pavavahumisi mugati, vakavayupa vawuka pamuji wula.
and having come, they besought them, and having brought [them] forth, they were asking [them] to go forth from the city;
40 Pauli na Sila pavahumili muchifungu vakahamba kunyumba ya Lidia, kwenuko vakakonganeka na vamsadika. Pevamali kuvakangamalisa mitima vakawuka.
and they, having gone forth out of the prison, entered into [the house of] Lydia, and having seen the brethren, they comforted them, and went forth.
