Matendu 19
1 Shipindi Apolu pakaweriti Korintu, Paulu kagenditi mwanja seemu za bala, kaziti Efesu kweni kawoniti wafundwa wamu.
U Apolo nali hu Korintho, u Paulo ashilile hunsi izya pamwanya afishile hu Efeso atangine na manyili yhwo.
2 Kakosiiti, “hashi, pampatiti kuwera wajimira myangiti Rohu. Mnanagala?” Nawomberi wamwankula, “Ndala! Hatweni pikanira handa kwana Rohu Mnanagala.”
U Paulo wabhabhuzya, “Huje, mwamposhiye Umpepo Ufinjile pamwahitishe?” Bhaga, “Ha' aa, atahuhwumvwe siga tahumvwizye huje huli Umpepo Ufinjile.”
3 Nayomberi katakula, “Vinu mpatiti ubatizu wa ntambu gaa?” Wamwankula, “ubatizu wa Yohani.”
U Paulo wabhabhuuzya, “Eshi mwahoziwe?” Wozyonshii, “Abheene bhaga uwozyo wa Yohana.
4 Nayomberi Paulu katakula, “ubatizu wa Yohani uweriti wa kulanguziya handa wantu waleka vidoda. Yohani kawagambiriti wantu wamjimiri ulii yomberi yakaweriti kakwiza pa yomberi, yaani Yesu.”
U Paulo waga, “U Yohana abhozizye huwozyo wa alambe. Abhabhuulile bhaala aje bhamwitishe uyo yahwinza pamande uYesu.”
5 Pa kupikinira aga, wabatiziti kwa litawu lya Mtuwa Yesu.
Abhantu nabhuumvwa enongwa ezi bhoziwa hwitawa lya Yesu Kilisti.
6 Su, Paulu kawatulira mawoku, na Rohu Mnanagala kawasulukira. Wanja kutakula likabila luhenga na kubwera ujumbi wa Mlungu.
U Paulo nawabhabhishila amakhono pitwe Umpepo Ufinjile wabhishila bhanda ayanje enjango empya nakuwe.
7 Woseri waweriti wantu lilongu na wawili.
Bhahali alume ilonga na bhabhili.
8 Kwa shipindi sha myezi mitatu Paulu kaweriti kankugenda munumba za Mlungu, kawera na matakuliranu ga kukwegiziya nentu kuusu ufalumi wa Mlungu.
U Paulo ahinjila mwisinagogi amezi gatatu. Alongozyaga enjangano na bhavute abhantu hwa Yesu nu uumwene uwa humwanya.
9 Kumbiti wamonga waweriti wakakatala, walema kujimira, wanja kuyowera vidoda kuusu njira ayi ya Mtuwa mulijojiniku lya wantu. Panu Paulu kaulekiti uganja nawomberi, kawatola pambwega wafundwa wakuwi walii, kaweriti kankuyowera nawomberi kila lishaka panumba ya masomu ga Tiranu.
Lelo Ayahudi bhamo bhahali na mampuli sigabhahitihaga, bhaligaga nabhayangaga ezya Yesu. U Paulo wabhefwa aKtilisti wabhala nabho muukumbi wa Tirano abhamanyizye.
10 Kendereyiti kutenda hangu kwa shipindi sha vinja viwili ata wanalushi woseri wa Asiya, Wayawudi na wantu wa maisi gamonga, waweza kupikinira shisoweru sha Mtuwa.
Ahindiliye isho humaha gabhili bhonti bhabhakhalaga hu Asia bhahumvwizye izu lya Ngulubhi Ayahudi na Ayunani(Agriki).
11 Mlungu katenditi mauzauza ga kulikangasha kwa mawoku ga Paulu.
Ungulubhi abhombaga amambo amagosi hukhono gwa Paulo,
12 Wantu waweriti wankutola shitambala na nguwu zimonga zya lihengu zyeni Paulu kaweriti kankuvala, wazijegiti kwa walweli, nawomberi waponiziwa malweri gawu na walii wawaweriti na washamshera wadoda walawa.
abhabhinu bhaponaga ata utuleso na menda gagafumile mubili gwa Paulo bhabhapalamansiaga nago bhaponaga ne Mpepo embibhi zyahepaga mwabhantu.
13 Wayawudi wamu yawawusiya wamshera wadoda. Wagenditi mwanja aku na aku wankujera kulitumiya litawu lya Mtuwa Yesu mweni Paulu kankumbwera.
Bhahali Ayahudi bhamo bhaali bhemazimu, bhahanzaga alitumile itawa lya Yesu hu faida yabho, bhabhabhuulaga abhantu bhabhali ne Mpepo embibhi epa hwitawa lya Yesu ula yalumbililwa nu Paulo.”
14 Wana saba wa Sikewa na Mtambika Mkulu wa Shiyawudi, woseri watenditi hangu.
Bhabhabhombaga isho bhali saba bhahali bhanabha sikewa yahali Gosi wishibhanza sha Yahudi, Skewa.
15 Kumbiti shamshera kadoda kawankula, “Nummana Yesu, nummana viraa Paulu, kumbiti mwenga mwa gaa?”
Zila Impepo embibhi zyabhabhuula zyaga, “U Paulo timinye nu Yesu wope timinye amwe mwenanuu?”
16 Shakapanu muntu ulii yakalendemeriti kawakopokera woseri kwa likakala, kawakanka likakala. Na wana awa wa Skewa watuga kulawa mnumba mlii pawawera shivula na kuwera na vironda.
Zila empepo zyabhatomoshela zya bhamena ikhoni, zyabhavwalazya. Bhashimbila shabhali welele afume munyumba mula.
17 Kila muntu Efesu aku, Myawudi na muntu yakawera ndiri Myawudi, kapikaniriti kuusu shitwatira ashi. Woseri waweriti na lyoga, walikwisa litawu lya Mtuwa Yesu.
Ijambo eli lyamanyiha hwa bhantu bhonti, Ayahudi na Giriki, bhogopa itawa lya Yesu lyatinihwa na bhantu.
18 Wawumini watangala walawiriti wajimira paweru vitwatira avi vyawaweriti watenda.
Akristo bhinji bhenza alambe, bhazibhonesya embibhi zabhabhomba.
19 Wamonga waweriti wankutenda vitwatira vya uhawi shipindi shipititi, wajojiniriti vintola vyawu, wavilunguziya paulongolu pa woseri. Wakisiyiti galama ya vintola avi, wawona ifikira vipandi vya shuma malongu mhanu elufu.
Abhantu bhabhatumilaga evitabu alagulile bhahaleta evitabu vyabhobhavipemba nu mwoto, bhabhazizye egalama yakwe yahali evipanda vyehala elfu amalongo gasanu.
20 Toziya ayi, shisoweru sha Mtuwa shendereya kweneya na shiwera na likakala nentu.
Izu lya Ngulubhi lyanyampana hwonti.
21 Pa vitwatira avi, Paulu kaamuiti kugenda Yerusalemu kwa kupitila Makedoniya na Akaya katakuliti, “Pa kusoka aku, infiruwa kuiwona Rumi viraa.”
U Paulo nawamala imbombo yakwe hula hu Efeso Umpepo walongozya abhale hu Yerusalemu ashilile hu Makedonia na hu Akaya; Waga na nakhala uhwo nehaibhala hu Rumi.”
22 Avi, kawatumiti wawili wa ntumintumi wakuwi, Timotewu na Erastu walonguleri genda Makedoniya, yomberi kalikaliti kwa katepu aku Asiya.
U Paulo wabhatuma amanyili bhakwe bhabhili, u Timotheo nu Erasto, bhabhamwavwize. Lelo umwene ahasagala hu Asia.
23 Shipindi ashi ndo pailawiriti ndewu nkulu aku Efesu toziya ya njira ayi ya Mtuwa.
Hula hu Efeso abhantu bhaletile efujo husababu yidala liila.
24 Kuweriti na munyawa shuma yumu wamshema Demetiriu, yomberi kaweriti na lihengu lya kunyawa vinyagu vya numba ya mlungu gwa shidala yawamshema Aritemi. Lihengu ali liwayupiti wanyawa wakuwi mota ngulu.
Umuntu umo ali Sonara itawa ali yu Demetrio, alinganya ga utufwanitwihela ufwa Ungulubhi u Diana, aletile ebiashara yakwe hwa fundi.
25 Demetiriu kawajojiniriti pamwera watenda lihengu awa pamwera na wamonga wawaweriti na lihengu handa ali, kawagambira, “Wanalushi, muvimana handa shipatu shangu shilawirana na biyashala ayi.
Wabhabunganya afundi bhonti abhimbombo iyo, wabhabhuula huje, “Mumenye ebiashara ene huja etipela ehela zyinyinji.
26 Vinu, muweza kupikinira na kuliwonera maweni vitwatira avi Paulu kankuvitenda, panu Efesu hera ndiri, ira viraa koseri Muasiya. Yomberi kawashawishi na kuwagalambula wantu wajumiri handa wamilungu walii yawanyawitwi na wantu milungu ndiri ata shididini.
Siga hu Efeso hwene, nahu Asia hwonti eshi unu uPaulo abhasulihenye abhantu aiga numo Ungulubhi yalinginywe namakhono.
27 Su iwezekana kuwera biyashara yetu iweri na litawu lidoda. Hangu hera ndiri, kumbiti shitwatira ashi shiweza kuitenda numba ya mlungu Aritemi iweri shintu ndiri sha mana. Shakapanu nzyumi zakuwi ayu Asiya na pasipanu poseri ntambu yawamguwira, Hayiperi.”
Nantele ehweli ehatali iyaje ebiashara yetu sihaihwanziwa, sigayibiashara nyene nu Ngulubhi ushiwi tu ugosi uDiana abhazalauliwe netezye ougosi waluwe, nantele abha Asia bhonti bhahupuuta nensi yonti.
28 Pawapikiniriti aga, waweriti na maya, wayanja kubotanga umatu, “Mkulu ndo Aritemi gwa Efesu!”
Nabhahumvwa isho bhahabwaga wikhatwe ni lyoyo, bhahaga, “uDiana wa bha Efeso gosi.”
29 Kaya yoseri imema fuju. Wawavamiya Gayu na Alisitariku, wenikaya wa Makedoniya, weni waweriti wanamwanja wayaguwi Paulu, watuga nawomberi mpaka kumdamu gwa madingu.
Umuji gwonti gwabha nefujo abhantu binjila muukumbi wiyango. Bhabhakhate bhabhashulaga nu Paulo, u Gayo nu Aristariko, bhabhafumile hu Makedonia.
30 Paulu mweni kafiriti kushigendera shipinga sha wantu awa, kumbiti waumini walii wamleweleriti.
U Paulo ahanzaga ahwinjile mwabhali muukumbi, lelo amanyili bakwe bhaha khanizyu.
31 Wakulu wa sirikali wamonga wa aku kumkoa wa Asiya, wawaweriti maganja wakuwi, wamjegiriti Paulu ujumbi wankumluwa nakalitula muatali kwa kugenda kweni kumdamu gwa madingu.
Amaafisa abhe mkoa bhabhali bhakundane nu Paulo bhatumile uujumbe huje asahinjile muukumbi uwinyango.
32 Shipindi shilii, wantu wamu waweriti pawabota hangu na wamonga vilii. Wantu wavuwa wavimaniti ndiri iwera ashi wawera aku.
Abhantu bhachanganyikine sigabhaminye ne zyabhayanga, bhamo bhaiga eshi bhamo shila.
33 Toziya Wayawudi wamtenda Alekizanda kalawiri kulongolu, wamu wa wantu mushipinga shilii walisheriti kuwera ndo mweni. Su, Alekizanda kawapungiriti wantu kwa liwoku pakafira kujiteteya paulongolu pa shipinga sha wantu walii.
Ayahudi bhaleta u Iskanda hwabhabhungine abhantu bhabhiha hwitagalila. U Iskanda ahabhapumya abhantu aje ayanje na bhantu, afumye amaelezo.
34 Kumbiti pawavimaniti weri yomberi ndo Myawudi, woseri kwa liziwu limu washowangana, “Mkulu ndo Aritemi gwa Efesu!” Wendereya kushowangana showangana hangu kwa shipindi sha masaa mawili.
Abhantu nabhamanya huje Iskanda Yahudi bhabwaga ibwago amasala gabhili bhaga uDiana gosi wa bha Efeso.”
35 Upeleru kalani gwa lushi kafawuliti kuwanyamaziya, kawagambira, “Wanalushi wa Efesu, kila muntu kavimana handa kaya ayi ya Efesu ndo mlolera gwa numba ya mlungu gwa shidala Aritemi na mlolera gwa shinyagu shilii shashiguwiti kulawa kumpindi.
Usimbi we muji nawabhapumya ubhungano gula waga amwe mubhalume mubha Efeso wenu yasiga aminye huje umuji ogu gwa Efeso gwagutunza eshibhanza sha Diana ugosi nela epicha yehagwiye afume humwanya?
36 Kwahera yakaweza kulema shitwatira ashi. Hangu su, munyamali, namtenda shoseri pota hepera.
Eshi poomi nasoti, ezi sigatibhomba nanali, musabhombe nahamo.
37 Muwashema wantu awa panu tembera wayigilanga ndiri numba ya mlungu ama kumwigilanga mlungu gwetu gwa shidala.
Eshi mubhaletile abhantu ebha palonzi sigabhiibha nantele sigabhalijile Ungulubhi wetu ushe.
38 Handa, Demetiriu na watenda lihengu wayaguwi wawera na masitaka gawu kuusu wantu awa, pana mahakama na wakulu wa mikoni, waweza kusitakiana aku.
Eshi u Demetrio na bhamwabho nafundi bhakwe nkashele bhali na mashitako gagonti numuntu yayonti ikoroti lihweli wazi bhaletwe palonzi.
39 Handa pamuwera na visoweru vyamonga, vyaviwagaziya, muvijegi pashiyotera motu yapafiruwa.
Lelo nkashele uhwanza amambo aganji tibhagalonje sheshinza.
40 Toziya tuweza kusitakiwa kwa kujega ndewu kulawirana na vituku vya lelu. Ndewu ayi kwahera toziya ya nakaka na metusindi kulaviya toziya za nyanyi za ndewu ayi.”
Tili muhatari iyalongwe uefujo ezi nantele sigatibhajiye azigolosye enongwa ezi.
41 Pakatakuliti aga, kakumaliriti kuliwona.
Nawayanga isho wabhanyampanya abhantu.
