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.
And he came also to Derbe and Lystra, where there was a certain disciple named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewess, and of a Greek father.
2 Abhantu bha Lystra nahu Ikonia bhahayanjile shinza.
He was well spoken of by the brothers in Lystra and Iconiun.
3 U Paulo wanza asogole nawo, wamwega watahiili maana Ayahudi bhaaminyu huje uise wa Timotheo huje Giriki.
Now Paul, wishing that this man should accompany him on his journey, took him and circumcised him because of the local Jews, who all knew that his father was a Greek.
4 Wabhasogolaga bhishiliye humiji bhabhalajizya huja bhazikhataje zyazisimbilwa natume hula hu Yerusalemu.
And as they went on their way through the cities they handed them the resolutions which the apostles and the elders in Jerusalem had ordained for them to keep.
5 Amakanisa gakhala shinza wa bhantu bhahinji bhonjelela apendushe hwa Yesu.
So the churches were strengthened in the faith and continued to increase in number daily.
6 U Paulo nu wamwao bhabhala hu Filigia na hu Galatia, Umpepo wa Ngulubhi abhakhanile alumbilile izu hwijimbo lya hu Asia.
Then they went through Phrygia and Galatia, the Holy Spirit having forbidden them to proclaim the message in Asia.
7 Nabhapalamila hu Misia, bhahalinga abhale hu Bithinia, lelo Umpepo wa Yesu wabhakhana.
When they got as far as Mysia, they attempted to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not permit it;
8 Shashila hu Misia bhabha hu Troa.
and so they passed by Mysia and went on down to Troas.
9 Nusiku uPaulo walola embonesyo umuntu wa hu Makedonia abhakwizya aiga mwenzemutavwe ohu.”
Here a vision appeared to Paul in the night. There stood a man of Macedonia, entreating him and saying, "Come over into Macedonia and help us!"
10 U Paulo nawalola embonesyo ezyo bhamanya huju Ungulubhi abhakwizizye huje bhabhale hu Makedonia, alumbilile izu lya Ngulubhi.
So when he had seen the vision, we sought at once to go forth into Macedonia, because we concluded that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
11 Tasogola afume hu Troa, tabhala hu Samothrake, shandao lwakwe tafiha hu Neapoli.
So we set sail from Troas and ran a straight course to Samothrace. The next day we arrived in Neapolis,
12 Afume uhwo tafiha hu Filipi eya hu Makedonia, gwali muji gosi hu wilaya yabhatawalile Arumi uhwo takhiye hashe.
and thence came to Philippi, a city of Macedonia, the fore most in its district, a Roman colony. There we stayed for some time.
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 Day we went outside the city gate, to a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down and talked 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 them was a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, who belonged to the town of Thyatira. She, since she was a worshiper of God, listened to us, and the Lord opened her heart to attend to what Paul said.
15 Nawoziwa uumwene na bha munyumba yakwe watilabha aje tikhale pakhaya yakwe atilambile tee.
When she was baptized, and her household, she urged us, saying, "If in your judgment I am a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house." And she compelled us to come.
16 Natabhalaga apuute, ulinouumo yali ne Mpepo embibhi ezyelaguzi takhomine nhwo, ulinduuyo apelaga efaida Ugosi, wakwe hulaguzi wakwe.
Now as we were going to the place of prayer, a certain slave girl met us, who had a spirit of divination, and who brought her masters great gain by fortune-telling.
17 Ushi unu alondozizye u Paulo naje ebha bhantu bha Ngulubhi ula ugosi yabhabhalumbilila amawe idala elye wokovu”.
She used to follow after Paul and us, crying out again and again, "These men are servants of the most high God, who proclaimed 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 persisted in this for many days, until Paul, worn out, turned round and said to the spirit, "I charge you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her." In that very hour it came out of her.
19 Agosi bhakwe ulenduula bhabhakhata aPaulo nu Sila bhabhadenemula musokoni na aviongozi bhahenyaga.
But when her owners saw that their hopes of gain were gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragged them before the magistrates, into the market-place.
20 Na bhafisya hwalonzi bhaga abhantu ebha Bhayahudi bhaleta ibwango munsi yetu.
Then they brought them before the praetors, saying. "These fellows are Jews, who are making a great disturbance in our city.
21 Bhamanyizya enongwa zyasentihwanziwa akhate nazifute neshi Arumi.”
"They are teaching customs which it is not lawful for us as Romans to adopt or practise."
22 Ipuga lya bhantu bhabhakhata aPaulo nu Sila, alonzi bhabhasatula amenda gabho naje bhakhomwe ne nsanzo(bhashetwe)
The crowd, too, rose up together against them, and the praetors, after having them stripped, and after ordering them to be flogged,
23 Nabhashetwa nensanzo zye nyinji bhabhaponya mwijela na bhabhuule alinzi aje bhabhalinde shinza.
had many lashes inflicted upon them, and put them in prison, with a charge to the jailer to keep them safe.
24 Bhaala alinzi nabhaposhela eamri, bhabhafunga aPaulo wusila ahati nyene bhabhapinya namanyoro mumanama.
On receiving so strict an order he cast them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
25 Nu siku nyene aPaulo nu Sila bhapuuta natele eng'oma ezya hulumbe Ungulubhi ohu afungwe abhanje bhatejelezya,
But at midnight, while Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them,
26 Lyahafumila itensia lyayinzya ensi amandyango gigereza giguha na manyoro gafungwe gayembela.
suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the very foundations of the prison-house were shaken; and instantly all the doors were opened, and every one’s chains fell off.
27 Olinzi wi Gereza wabhuha ahwenya eshi amandyango gu gereza gigushe wayeta wega ipanga wanzaje ahwibhole agagajibha afungwe bhonti bhaselenjile,
The jailer, roused from sleep, and seeing the doors wide open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, because he thought that the prisoners had escaped.
28 U Paulo wakhoola hwizu igosi waga usahwibude ate tenti tihweli epa”.
But Paul shouted loudly to him. "Do yourself no harm; for we are all here!"
29 Walabha amakhozyo walavya uhu ayetile wa yinje, wabhagwila aPaulo nu Sila,
So he called for lights, and sprang in, and, trembling for fear, fell down before Paul and Silas,
30 wabhafumya hwunzi yi gereza waga mwebha gosi embombe wili nanii enokoshe?”
and brought them out, saying, "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
31 Bhabhuula bhaga mwitishe uYesu nawee ubhahwokoshe na bhantu bhonti bhabhali munyumba yaho.”
"Believe on the Lord Jesus," they answered, "and you will be saved, you and all your household."
32 Bhayanga izu lya Ngulubhi na bhantu bhakwe bhabhali munyumba yakwe,
Then they spoke the message of the Lord to him, as well as to all who were in his house.
33 Ulinzi wi gereza wabhega nu siku lwulwo(wuwo), wabhozya mwabhavwaliye umwene na bhantu bhonti abha munyumba yakwe bhoziwa.
And he took them, the same hour of the night, and washed their wounds, and he was baptized at once, he and all his.
34 Wabhaleta akhaya yakwe wabhapeela ishalye. Wabhanoluseshelo na bhantu bhonti abha munyumba.
And after bringing them up into his house, he set food before them, overjoyed with all his household in having believed in God.
35 Pasanya alonzi, bhatuma umuntu huje bhabhuule, ulinzi wi gereza abhefwe abhantu bhaala bhasogolaje”,
But in the morning the praetors sent their lictors with the order, "Let these men go."
36 Ulinzi wi gereza wabhuula uPaulo huje alonzi bhajile embefwe musogolaje mubhalaje amwenyu.”
The jailer reported the words to Paul, saying. "The praetors have sent to release you; so come out, and go in peace."
37 U Paulo wabhabhuula huje batikhomile nativwalazye pabhantu tatili Bharumi nkatilonje eshi bhalwatefwe shisili ate seetifuma bhenze bhatifumye bhibho”.
But Paul said. "They have flogged us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Roman citizens; and have thrown us into prison. Are they now going to get rid of us secretly? No, indeed! Let them come here, themselves and take us out."
38 Ulinzi wabhabhuula alonzi enongwa zya Paulo nu Sila alonzi bhayeta ahwumvwe huje aPaulo nu Sila Bharumi.
The lictors reported these words to the praetors, who were frightened when they heard that they were Romans.
39 Alonzi bhenza abhefwe na bhabhafumya bhabhalaabha huje bhepe munsi yabho.
So they came and conciliated them, and after taking them out of prison, begged them to leave the town.
40 A Paulo nu Sila bhafuma mwigereza bhabhala hu khaya ya Lidia. U Paulo nabhabhalola abhamwabho bhabhagwizya umwoyo, pamade bhasogola bhepa munsi iyo.
So Paul and Silas came out of the prison, and went to Lydia’s house; and after they had seen the brethren and encouraged them, they left Philippi.
