Abhantu bhabhali bhabhinu bhaponile amipepo mabhibhi gabhafumile abhantu uhu bhakholaawa na bhaala afwemanama bhaponile.
8 Iweri sekuseku ngulu pakati palushi lulii
Ensi ela bhasungwile sana.
9 Muntu yumu, litawu lyakuwi Simoni, panu kwanja kaweriti pakanyawa uhawi pakati palushi palii, pakawakangasha wantu wa maisi ga Wasamariya, pakatakula paweri yomberi ndo muntu mkulu.
Ahali umuntu umo itawa lyakwe ali yu Simoni umuntu uyo alini tunga ashangazyaga tee ensi ya bha Samaria, umuntu uyo agaga umwene gosi saana bonti bhatimihaje.
10 Woseri wampikanira kwanjira mdidini ata mkulu, pawatakula, Muntu ayu ndo likakala lya Mlungu yakashemwa, likakala likulu.
Abhasamaria bhonti bhahatejelezya ahwande umwa paka agosi abhantu bhaga umuntu unu ezi zyabhomba zifuma hwa Ngulubhi.”
11 Wampikanira toziya kawakangashira kwa uhawi wakuwi kwa shipindi shitali.
Bhatejelezya maana abhaswijizizye tee nsiku nyinji ni tuunga lyakwe.
12 Kumbiti pawamjimiriti Filipi, pakabwera visoweru viwagira vya ufalumi wa Mlungu, na litawu lyakuwi Yesu Kristu, wabatiziwa, wapalu na wadala.
Nabhahatejelezya uFilipo nalumbililaga uumwene uwa humwanya ni tawa lya Ngulubhi lyalyaponyaga abhantu ashilile hwitawa lya Yesu bhahoziwe alume na bhashe.
13 Na yomberi Simoni mweni kajimiriti kubatizwa, walikola na Filipi, kalikangasha pakagawoniti makangashu na mauzauza makulu gagatendikiti.
Wope uSimoni aheteshe ahoziwe nalileshe itunga lyakwe, ahendelela alongozanye nu Filipo; aswijile sana nahazilola Ungulubhi ashilile hwa Filipo zyazibhombeha ngosi tee.
14 Wantumintumi yawaweriti Yerusalemu, pawapikaniriti kuwera Samariya washijimira Shisoweru sha Mlungu, womberi wawatumiti Peteru na Yohani,
Atume nabhahumvwa aje abhahu Samaria bhalyeteshe izi lya Ngulubhi, bhahabhatuma uPetro nu Yohana.
15 Womberi pawasokiti, wawaluwira wamwanki Rohu Mnanagala.
Nabhafiha hula bhabhapuutila aje bhaposheele Umpepo Ufinjile.
16 Kwa mana badu hakeniwasulukiri ata yumu gwawu, ila wabatiziwa hera kwa litawu lyakuwi Mtuwa Yesu.
Ensiku zyonti izyo baalisile ahuposhele Umpepo Ufinjile bhonti lelo bhahoziwe hwitawa lya Yesu.
17 Watula mawoku gawu panani pawu, nawomberi wamyanga Rohu Mnanagala
U Petro nu Yohana bhabhabhishila amakhono bhabhapuutila, bhope baposhela Umpepo Ufinjile.
18 Simoni pakawoniti kuwera wantu wankupananwa Rohu Mnanagala kwa kutulilwa mawoku ga wantumintumi, yomberi kafiruwiti kuwapanana mpiya pakalonga,
U Simoni nawalola abhantu bhahuposhela Umpepo Ufinjile nabhabheshilwa amakhono na atume wanza aje abhapele ihela,
19 Mmpanani neni uwezu awu, su kila muntu yanfira kumtulira mawoku gangu, kawanki Rohu Mnanagala.
Waga, “Mpeli nane ouwezo, owo aje shila muntu yehubhishila amakhono aposhelaje Umpepo Ufinjile.”
20 Kumbiti Peteru kamwankula, gwagamiri kutali na mpiya zyaku toziya gulihola handa guweza kuhemera lifupu lya Mlungu kwa mpiya.
U Petro wabhuula waga ihela zyaho nawe wayo mtejele uhwo ubhishile aje ekarama ya Ngulubhi tipelwa ni hela.
21 Gwahera shifungu wala gwahera seemu pakati pashitwatira ashi, Toziya moyu gwaku guherepa ndiri kulongolu kwa Mlungu.
Suli ni hama hwu mbombo ene umwoyo gwaho segugoloshe hwa Ngulubhi.
22 Su, guleki madoda gaku aga, gukamluwi Mtuwa, na yomberi kaweza kukulekeziya maholu gaku aga.
Eshi laamba hwa Ngulubhi ulwinje abhahusajile ensebho zyaho embibhi ezyo.
23 Kwa mana nukuwona handa gumema weya nentu na gwa mtatilwa gwa vidoda.
Elola umwoyo gwaho segulishinza hunanchishe gupinyilwe ne mbibhi.”
24 Simoni kankula, pakatakula, munduwili mwenga kwa Mtuwa, nashiza kumpata shoseri pakati pa aga gamtakuliti.
U Simoni waga ilabha mumpuutile hwa Ngulubhi ezi zyamuyanjile zisahanaje.
25 Peteru na Yohani pawabweriti kala kuusu Mtuwa, wawuya Yerusalemu. Wabweriti shisoweru shiwagira pakati pavijiji vya Samariya.
U Petro nu Yohana pabhawelaga afume uhwo bhalumbiliye muvijiji vivinja evya Samaria pamande bhawela hu Yerusalemu.
26 Ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa katakula na Filipi, kamgambira, Guwuki ugendi ouwega wa kusika ata njira ilii yailawa Yerusalemu kugenda Gaza, njira ayi ipita kushiwala.
Umalaika wa Ngulubhi wayanga nu Filipo waga sogola ushilile idala elya ntende(hu kusini) lwalihwishila hu Yerusalemu abhalile hu Gaza.” (Idala eli lili mwijangwa).
27 Nayomberi kawuka, kagenda, shipindi shirashi kuweriti na Mwisiopiya yumu, towashi, mweni kaweriti kamumwanja kugenda ukaya. Muntu ayu kaweriti mkolamlima kamanika gwa luhanja lwa Kandaki, malikiya gwa Esiyopiya. Kaweriti kagenda aku Yerusalemu kuguwira na shipindi ashi kaweriti kankuwuya pakawera kakwena mbutuka ya kunika.
U Filipo wabhala. Walola umuntu uwa hwi Ethiopia, afumle apuute hu Yerusalemu umuntu unu ali hasule ali gosi hu nyumba ya malkia wa hwi Ethiopia.
28 Pakaweriti kammwanja, kaweriti kankushibetula shintola sha mbuyi gwa Mlungu Isaya.
Akhiiye mwi gari lyakwa abhazyaga ibhangili lya Isaya igari palijenda abhale amwabho.
29 Rohu kamgambira Filipi, Gusegeleri pakwegera na mbutuka ayi, gulikoliri nayi.
Umpepo wabhuula uFilipo zubhilila hwi gari elyo upalamane nalyo.
30 Su Filipu kagenda mbiru, kampikanira kankubetula mushintora sha Isaya mbuyi gwa Mlungu. Filipi kamkosiyiti, “Hashi, gugamana aga gagubetula?”
“U Filipo walishimbilila igari lila wamwunvwa ula umuntu abhazya mwibhangili elya Isaya wabhuzya uzyiliwe zyubhazya umwo?”
31 Yomberi kamwankuliti, “Hanwezi hashi kugamana pota muntu gwa kuntakulira?” Shakapanu yomberi kamluwiti Filipi kakweni na kulivaga pamuhera na yomberi mumbutuka.
Umuntu ula uMwiethiopia waga embahwelewe wili umuntu nkasiga andongozye? Wakhope lezya uFilipo aje ainjile mwigari lyakwe bhakhale bhonti.
32 Na shifungu sha Malembu Mananagala gakaweriti kankugabetula ndo aga, “Kalongolerwa kugenda kwawahanjanga handa kondolu, Na handa vila mwana kondolu kajii paulongolu pakuwi yakamdumula mbapatiru, Ndambu irayi yomberi kagubutula ndiri mlomu gwakuwi.
Ibhangili lyabhazyaga pasimbilwe eshi alongoziwe neshi engole nabhabhalanayo asinze; apumile myee neshi engole, sigahiguye ilomu lyakwe:
33 Wamsoniziyiti na kunyima shakafiruwa. Kwahera yakaweza kuyowera kuusu shiyiwuku shakuwi. Kwa mana ukomu wakuwi uwusiwa pasipanu.”
Azugumile hwakwe alongwe hwakwe hwa hepile: Weenu yaiyanga eshizazi shakwe(empapo yakwe)? amaisha gakwe gepile munsi.”
34 Afisa ulii kamwankula Filipi, katakula, nukuluwa, mbuyi ayu, katakula visoweru avi kwa visoweru vya gaa, ndo visoweru vyakuwi mweni ama vya muntu mmonga
Ula uhasule mwithiopia wabhuuzya uFilipo unu umuntu yebhazya umu enongwa ezi zyakwe yuyo awe zya muntu winji”?
35 Filipi kanjiti kutakula, kanjiti kwa Malembu Mananagala galaa aga, kamgambiriti yomberi Shisoweru Shiwagira sha Yesu.
U Filipo wamwandila mwumwo munongwa zyabhazyaga mwibhangili lya Isaya hulumbilile izu lya Yesu.
36 Pawaweriti wankali wakwendereya na mwanja, wasokiti pahala pana mashi, na afisa ulii katakula, “pahala panu pana mashi, kwana shoseri sha kunewelera nambatizwa?”
Nabhandelela abhale bhafiha papali na menze ula uhasule wabhuzya uFilipo enya amenze ega epa henu hahansinti zya ahwoziwe?
37 Filipu katakula, Pagujimira kwa moyu gwaku goseri, iwezikana. Kankula, kalonga, njimira handa Yesu Kristu ndo Mwana gwa Mlungu.
u Filipo waga nkuyitishe ebhajiye ula Umwithiopia waga eneteshe huje uYesu mwana wa Ngulubhe, ula Umwithiopia wimiliha igari lyakwe.
38 Kaamuli mbutuka ilii igoloki, wasuluka woseri wawili mmashi, Filipi na towashi ulii, nayomberi kambatiza.
Bhiha bhonti mwigari bhatumbushila mumenze, uFilipo nu mwithiopia uFilipo wamwozya(wabhatizya).
39 Shakapanu, pawakweniti kulawa mmashi, Rohu gwa Mtuwa kamnyasula Filipi, towashi ulii hapani kamwoni kayi, su kagenditi zakuwi kasekuseku.
Nabhazubha afume muminzi bhonti Umpepo wanyatula uFilipo wasagala yu Mwithiopia mwene Umwithiopia wasogola nigari lyakwe abhalile shashiye humwoyo.
40 Kumbiti Filipi kawonikana pakati pa Azotu, na pakaweriti pakapita pakabwera shisoweru shiwagira pakati palushi yoseri, ata kingira Kaisariya.
Lelo uFilipo abhuinishe hu azoto alumbililaga muvijiji na mujini mpaka afishile hu Kaisaria.
