Imbombo zya Atume 16
1 U Paulo pahinzile hu Derbe na hu Lystra; epo ahali ukijana umo yalyeteshe izu itawa yu Timotheo, ni Kijana aliyezaliwa na unyina ali Yahudi uise ali Giriki.
Paul came to Derbe and then to Lystra, where he found a disciple named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewish woman and a Greek father.
2 Abhantu bha Lystra nahu Ikonia bhahayanjile shinza.
The brothers in Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him.
3 U Paulo wanza asogole nawo, wamwega watahiili maana Ayahudi bhaaminyu huje uise wa Timotheo huje Giriki.
Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, so he took him and circumcised him on account of the Jews in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
4 Wabhasogolaga bhishiliye humiji bhabhalajizya huja bhazikhataje zyazisimbilwa natume hula hu Yerusalemu.
As they went from town to town, they delivered the decisions handed down by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the people to obey.
5 Amakanisa gakhala shinza wa bhantu bhahinji bhonjelela apendushe hwa Yesu.
So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily in numbers.
6 U Paulo nu wamwao bhabhala hu Filigia na hu Galatia, Umpepo wa Ngulubhi abhakhanile alumbilile izu hwijimbo lya hu Asia.
After the Holy Spirit had prevented them from speaking the word in the province of Asia, they traveled through the region of Phrygia and Galatia.
7 Nabhapalamila hu Misia, bhahalinga abhale hu Bithinia, lelo Umpepo wa Yesu wabhakhana.
And when they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not permit them.
8 Shashila hu Misia bhabha hu Troa.
So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas.
9 Nusiku uPaulo walola embonesyo umuntu wa hu Makedonia abhakwizya aiga mwenzemutavwe ohu.”
During the night, Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and pleading with him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”
10 U Paulo nawalola embonesyo ezyo bhamanya huju Ungulubhi abhakwizizye huje bhabhale hu Makedonia, alumbilile izu lya Ngulubhi.
As soon as Paul had seen the vision, we got ready to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
11 Tasogola afume hu Troa, tabhala hu Samothrake, shandao lwakwe tafiha hu Neapoli.
We sailed from Troas straight to Samothrace, and the following day on to Neapolis.
12 Afume uhwo tafiha hu Filipi eya hu Makedonia, gwali muji gosi hu wilaya yabhatawalile Arumi uhwo takhiye hashe.
From there we went to the Roman colony of Philippi, the leading city of that district of Macedonia. And we stayed there several days.
13 Isiku elyelutuyo tahabhalile hwonze ye ndyango gwe muji tajendile idala elyahwisoho tagaga kabhanga tigapaga apapuutilw, tahakha pansi tayanga na bhashi bhamo bhabhahinzile uhwo.
On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate along the river, where it was customary to find a place of prayer. After sitting down, we spoke to the women who had gathered there.
14 Ushi umo itawa yu Lidia, yakazyaga amasukwa(usukwa), afumile hu Tiatira, atitejelezizye, Ungulubhi amwiguye umwoyo nahuzibhishe humwoyo zyaziyangwilwe nu Paulo.
Among those listening was a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message.
15 Nawoziwa uumwene na bha munyumba yakwe watilabha aje tikhale pakhaya yakwe atilambile tee.
And when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, “If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house.” And she persuaded us.
16 Natabhalaga apuute, ulinouumo yali ne Mpepo embibhi ezyelaguzi takhomine nhwo, ulinduuyo apelaga efaida Ugosi, wakwe hulaguzi wakwe.
One day as we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl with a spirit of divination, who earned a large income for her masters by fortune-telling.
17 Ushi unu alondozizye u Paulo naje ebha bhantu bha Ngulubhi ula ugosi yabhabhalumbilila amawe idala elye wokovu”.
This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation!”
18 Abhombile isho ensiku zyenyinji, lelo u Paulo avitilwe tee u Paulo pawagaluha hwisalo walidimila lila ipepo, “Waga awe wu mpepo embibhi epa mwunu usogole hwi tawa lya Yesu empepo embibhi yafuma.
She continued this for many days. Eventually Paul grew so aggravated that he turned and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” And the spirit left her at that very moment.
19 Agosi bhakwe ulenduula bhabhakhata aPaulo nu Sila bhabhadenemula musokoni na aviongozi bhahenyaga.
When the girl’s owners saw that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them before the authorities in the marketplace.
20 Na bhafisya hwalonzi bhaga abhantu ebha Bhayahudi bhaleta ibwango munsi yetu.
They brought them to the magistrates and said, “These men are Jews and are throwing our city into turmoil
21 Bhamanyizya enongwa zyasentihwanziwa akhate nazifute neshi Arumi.”
by promoting customs that are unlawful for us Romans to adopt or practice.”
22 Ipuga lya bhantu bhabhakhata aPaulo nu Sila, alonzi bhabhasatula amenda gabho naje bhakhomwe ne nsanzo(bhashetwe)
The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered that they be stripped and beaten with rods.
23 Nabhashetwa nensanzo zye nyinji bhabhaponya mwijela na bhabhuule alinzi aje bhabhalinde shinza.
And after striking them with many blows, they threw them into prison and ordered the jailer to guard them securely.
24 Bhaala alinzi nabhaposhela eamri, bhabhafunga aPaulo wusila ahati nyene bhabhapinya namanyoro mumanama.
On receiving this order, he placed them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.
25 Nu siku nyene aPaulo nu Sila bhapuuta natele eng'oma ezya hulumbe Ungulubhi ohu afungwe abhanje bhatejelezya,
About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.
26 Lyahafumila itensia lyayinzya ensi amandyango gigereza giguha na manyoro gafungwe gayembela.
Suddenly a strong earthquake shook the foundations of the prison. At once all the doors flew open and everyone’s chains came loose.
27 Olinzi wi Gereza wabhuha ahwenya eshi amandyango gu gereza gigushe wayeta wega ipanga wanzaje ahwibhole agagajibha afungwe bhonti bhaselenjile,
When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, presuming that the prisoners had escaped.
28 U Paulo wakhoola hwizu igosi waga usahwibude ate tenti tihweli epa”.
But Paul called out in a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself! We are all here!”
29 Walabha amakhozyo walavya uhu ayetile wa yinje, wabhagwila aPaulo nu Sila,
Calling for lights, the jailer rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas.
30 wabhafumya hwunzi yi gereza waga mwebha gosi embombe wili nanii enokoshe?”
Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31 Bhabhuula bhaga mwitishe uYesu nawee ubhahwokoshe na bhantu bhonti bhabhali munyumba yaho.”
They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household.”
32 Bhayanga izu lya Ngulubhi na bhantu bhakwe bhabhali munyumba yakwe,
Then Paul and Silas spoke the word of the Lord to him and to everyone in his house.
33 Ulinzi wi gereza wabhega nu siku lwulwo(wuwo), wabhozya mwabhavwaliye umwene na bhantu bhonti abha munyumba yakwe bhoziwa.
At that hour of the night, the jailer took them and washed their wounds. And without delay, he and all his household were baptized.
34 Wabhaleta akhaya yakwe wabhapeela ishalye. Wabhanoluseshelo na bhantu bhonti abha munyumba.
Then he brought them into his home and set a meal before them. So he and all his household rejoiced that they had come to believe in God.
35 Pasanya alonzi, bhatuma umuntu huje bhabhuule, ulinzi wi gereza abhefwe abhantu bhaala bhasogolaje”,
When daylight came, the magistrates sent their officers with the order: “Release those men.”
36 Ulinzi wi gereza wabhuula uPaulo huje alonzi bhajile embefwe musogolaje mubhalaje amwenyu.”
The jailer informed Paul: “The magistrates have sent orders to release you. Now you may go on your way in peace.”
37 U Paulo wabhabhuula huje batikhomile nativwalazye pabhantu tatili Bharumi nkatilonje eshi bhalwatefwe shisili ate seetifuma bhenze bhatifumye bhibho”.
But Paul said to the officers, “They beat us publicly without a trial and threw us into prison, even though we are Roman citizens. And now do they want to send us away secretly? Absolutely not! Let them come themselves and escort us out!”
38 Ulinzi wabhabhuula alonzi enongwa zya Paulo nu Sila alonzi bhayeta ahwumvwe huje aPaulo nu Sila Bharumi.
So the officers relayed this message to the magistrates, who were alarmed to hear that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens.
39 Alonzi bhenza abhefwe na bhabhafumya bhabhalaabha huje bhepe munsi yabho.
They came to appease them and led them out, requesting that they leave the city.
40 A Paulo nu Sila bhafuma mwigereza bhabhala hu khaya ya Lidia. U Paulo nabhabhalola abhamwabho bhabhagwizya umwoyo, pamade bhasogola bhepa munsi iyo.
After Paul and Silas came out of the prison, they went to Lydia’s house to see the brothers and encourage them. Then they left the city.
