Matendu 16
1 Paulu kaziti Deribi na Listira, kweni katamiti mfundwa yumu yawamshema Timotewu. Mawu gwakuwi mweni vira kaweriti ntundami, kaweriti Myawudi, kumbiti tati gwakuwi kaweriti mgiriki.
and came to Derbe and Lystra; and, behold, a certain disciple was there, whose name was Timothy, the son of a believing Jewess, but of a Grecian father;
2 Timotewu kaweriti na nzyumi ngulu pakati pa walii walongu wa Listira na Ikoniu.
who had an honorable character given by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.
3 Paulu kafiriti Timotewu kalikoli na yomberi mumwanja, hangu kamyingiziyiti jandu. Katenditi hangu toziya Wayawudi woseri watamiti seemu ayi wavimaniti handa tati gwakuwi Timotewu kaweriti Mgiriki.
Him Paul would have to go forth with him: and took and circumcised him, on account of the Jews who were in those places: for they all knew his father, that he was a Greek.
4 Pawaweriti wankuwuya mlushi zilii wawapananiti wantu malagaliru galii gagalaviyitwi na wantumintumi na wazewi kulii Yerusalemu, wawagambira wantu wagajimiri.
And as they passed through the cities, they delivered to their custody the decrees, which were determined by the Apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem.
5 Su shipinga sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu shiziditi kugangamala munjimiru na shiyongerekiti nentu kila lishaka.
The congregations, therefore, were confirmed in the faith, and increased in number daily.
6 Wawuyiriti Seemu za Firigiya na Galatiya toziya Rohu Mnanagala kawaluusu ndiri kubwera ujumbi awu kumkoa gwa Asiya.
And they went through Phrygia, and the region of Galatia, and being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;
7 Pawayiziti mumbaka zya Misiya, wajeriti kwingira kumkoa Bituniya, kumbiti Rohu gwa Yesu kawaluusu ndiri.
when they were come to Mysia, they attempted to go to Bithynia; but the spirit did not permit them.
8 Su, wapitiriti Misiya, wagenda longulongu mpaka Trowa.
And passing by Mysia, they went down to Troas.
9 Pashiru panu. Paulu kawoniti maonu geni kamwoniti muntu yumu gwa Makedoniya kagoloka palii na kumluwa, “Guloki, gwizi Makedoniya gwakatutangatiri.”
And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There stood a certain Macedonia, entreating him, and saying, Come over to Macedonia, and help us.
10 Katepu pa Paulu kuwona maonu aga, tulitanditi kugenda Makedoniya pota kusherewa, tuwera na nakaka handa Mlungu katushema tuwabweleri shisoweru shiwagira.
And as soon as he had seen this vision, we immediately endeavored to go to Macedonia; assuredly inferring, that the Lord had called us to declare the gospel to them.
11 Kulawa Trowa, twamwanja longulongu mpaka Samotiraki na Shirawu yakuwi tusulusiya nanga Neopoli.
Setting sail, therefore, from Troas, we ran directly to Samothracia; and the next day to Neapolis;
12 Kulawa aku, tugenditi mpaka Filipi, Lushi lya Wilaya ya kwanja ya Makedoniya, na weni viraa ndo Koloni lya Warumi. Tutamiti mulushi alu mashaka gamu.
and came thence to Philippi, which is a city of the first part of Macedonia, a colony: and we continued in this city for some days.
13 Lishaka lya kwoyera tulawiti kunja ku Lushi, tugenda mmbeku ya lushemba lweni tulihola kuwera ndo pahala pa kuluwa Mlungu. Tulikaliti, tuyowera na wadala wajojinikiti pahala panu.
And on the Sabbath day we went out of the city to the side of the river, according to the custom, where was an oratory; and sitting down, we spoke to the women that were assembled there.
14 Muwamu wa walii yawatupikiniriti kaweriti mdala yumu mguwira Mlungu yawamshema Lidiya mwenikaya gwa Tuatira, mweni kaweriti kankuwuza nguwu za shitani za langi ya zambalawu. Mtuwa kavuguliti moyu gwakuwi ata kaviyanga visoweru vilii Paulu vyakaweriti katakula.
And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, a worshiper of God, heard the discourse: whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things which were spoken by Paul.
15 Shakapanu yomberi pamuhera na wantu wa numba yakuwi wabatizwa. Na yomberi katuluwa pakatakula, “Payiwera mjimira nakaka handa numjimira Mtuwa, mwizi ukaya kwaneni mlikali.” Katuhimiziya tugendi.
And when she was immersed, with her family, she entreated us, saying, If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, enter into my house, and continue there. And she compelled us.
16 Lishaka limu, patuweriti twankugenda pahali pa kuluwa Mlungu, mhinja yumu yakaweriti na wamshera wana likakala lwa kutunga kaliwoniti na twenga Mhinja ayu kaweriti kankuwapanana watuwa wakuwi mpiya zitangala kwa kutunga gwakuwi.
Now it came to pass, that as we were going to the oratory, we were met by a certain maid-servant that had a spirit of divination, who brought her owners much gain by prophesying:
17 Su, muhinga ayu kamwiziriti Paulu na twenga, kabotanga na kutakula, “Wantu awa ndo wantumintumi wa Mlungu Mkulu. Wankuwabwelera njira ya ulopoziya.”
the same, following after Paul and us, cried out, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who declare to you the way of salvation.
18 Kaweri kankutenda hangu kwa mashaka gatangala ata lishaka limu Paulu kakalariti, kamgalambukira na kumgambira shamshera ayu, “Nukugambira kwa litawu lya Yesu Kristu, gumlawi ayu!” Palaa palii shamshera kamlawa.
And this she did for several days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I charge you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to go out of her. And it went out that very hour.
19 Su watuwa wa muhinga ulii pawawoniti kuwera litumbiru lwawu lya kupata mpiya lipera, wawakamuliti Paulu na Sila, wawakwega mpaka paweru, kuulongolu kwa wakulu.
But when her owners saw that the hope of their gain was gone; laying hold of Paul and Silas, they dragged them to the market place, to the magistrates:
20 Wasitaki kwa watoza pawatakula, “wantu awa ndo Wayawudi na watenda fuju mulushi lwetu.
and having brought them to the generals of the army, they said, These men, who are Jews, mightily disturb our city;
21 Wankufunda shitiba sheni twenga wenikaya wa Rumi tuluusiwa ndiri kushijimira pota kushifuta.”
and teach customs, which it is not lawful for us to receive and practice, being Romans.
22 Shipinga sha wantu shingiriti na womberi, shiwakomanga. Na watoza walii wawavula nguwa zawu kwa likakala, wahimiziya wasyatangwi viboku.
And the populace rose up together against them; and the generals tearing off their garments, commanded them to be beaten with rods.
23 Pakukomwa nentu watatirwa mnumba, na njagira gwa shibetubetu kahimiziwa kuwatula pasi pa ulolera mkulu.
And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely.
24 Kulawirana na malagaliru aga, mnjagira ayu kawatuliti mushumba kati nakamu sha shibetubetu na kugatawa magulu gawu mushibawu.
Who, having received such a strict charge, threw them into the inner prison, and secured their feet fast in the stocks.
25 Pakakwegera na pashiru ligonu Paulu na Sila waweriti wankumluwa Mlungu na kuyimba nyimbu za kumzyuma Mlungu, aku watatirwa wamonga wawera wankupikanira.
But at midnight, Paul and Silas having prayed, sung a hymn to God: and the prisoners heard them.
26 Vumu, kulawiriti lilendemeru likulu lya litapaka libegiziya liyanjiru lya shibetubetu. Su, milyangu yoseri ivuguka na minyololu yayiwatawiti watatirwa awa ilekana.
And, on a sudden, there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prisoner were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and the bonds of all the prisoners were loosed.
27 Mlolera gwa shibetubetu pakayumukiti na kuyiwona milyangu ya shibetubetu ivugulwa, kaliholiti handa watatirwa woseri waweriti watoloka, na hangu kausomola upanga wakuwi, kafiriti kulilaga.
And the jailor, awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison opened, drew his sword, and was going to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners were fled.
28 Kumbiti Paulu kashema kwa liziwu likulu, “Kotukulitenda gwamweni toziya twenga twawoseri twa panu.”
But Paul cried out, with a loud voice, saying, Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.
29 Pakamshemiti kala muntu kajegi limuliku, mnjagira gwa shibetubetu katugiriti mnumba, kaliyasa paulongolu pa magulu ga Paulu na Sila agawu kankulendemera kwa lyoga.
And he called for lights, and sprung in; and, being in a tremor, fell down before Paul and Silas;
30 Shakapanu kawalonguziya kunja, kawakosiya, “Mwatuwa, ndendi shishi mbati kulopoziwa?”
and, bringing them out, he said, O Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 Womberi wamwankula, “Gumjimiri Mtuwa Yesu na gwenga hagulopoziwi pamuhera na kaya yaku yoseri.”
And they said, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved, and your house.
32 Su, wamubweleriti shisoweru sha Mtuwa yomberi pamhera na walongu wakuwi.
And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
33 Mnjagira ulii kawatoliti saa iraa ilii ya pashiru kawagulula vironda vyawu, shakapanu yomberi na walongu wakuwi woseri kawabatiza pala palii.
And taking them, that very hour of the night, he washed their stripes; and was immediately immersed, himself, and all his.
34 Shakapanu kawatola Paula na Sila ukaya kwakuwi, kawayupa shiboga. Yomberi na walongu wakuwi woseri watenda shereku toziya vinu waweriti wamjimira Mlungu.
And having brought them into his house, he spread the table before them: and believing in the God, with all his house, he was transported with joy.
35 Shirawu yakuwi mandawira, watoza wawatumiti maafisa wawu pawalonga, “muwavuguliri wantu walii.”
And when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Dismiss those men.
36 Mjagira ulii gwa shibetubetu kamupananiti shisoweru Paulu, “Watoza watumiti ujumbi su mvugulilwi. Vinu muweza kulawa na kugenda zenu kwa ponga.”
And the keeper of the prison told these things to Paul, The generals have sent that you may be dismissed; now, therefore, go out, and pursue your journey in peace.
37 Kumbiti Paulu kamwakuliti. “Eti shishi? Tembera tuweriti ndiri na likosa, watusyatangiti viboku paweru twenga ndo wana lushi wa Rumi. Kayi, watuyingiziyiti mnumba na vinu wafira kutuvugulira kwa bada! Ata padidini! Ndo mpaka weni wayizi panu watuvuguliri.”
But Paul said to them, They have beaten us, who are Romans, publicly and uncondemned, and have cast us into prison; and do they now thrust us out privately? By no means: but let them come themselves, and conduct us out.
38 Maafisa awa wawagambiriti visoweru watoza kuusu shitwatira ashi, naomberi pawapikaniriti handa Paulu na Sila waweriti weni kaya wa Rumi, watiriti.
And the sergeants reported these words to the generals. And when they had heard that they were Romans, they were afraid:
39 Hangu, wagenditi kuwaluwa na pawawalaviiti kala mnumba wawaluwiti wawuki mulushi lulii.
and they came and comforted them; and conducting them out, requested that they would depart from the city.
40 Paulu na Sila walawiti mushibetubetu, wagenditi ukaya kwa Lidiya. Aku waliwoniti na shipinga sha waumini na pawawagambiriti kala visoweru vya kuwayupa moyu wawuka.
And coming out of the prison, they entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
