Imbombo zya Atume 8
1 U Sauli ahali nabhohitihanaga ahubude u Stefano. Wope u Sauli na ahandile abhatese bhonti akristi habhahali mu Yerusalemu na bhonti bhabhanyampine bhaali humajimbo ga Yudea na hu Samaria, bhasagiye bha mitume bhene.
BUT Saul was delighted with his execution. Now on that very day commenced a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and all, besides the apostles, were dispersed through the regions of Judea and Samaria.
2 Abhantu bha Ngulubhi bhasyela uStefano bhazondiye enzondo engosi tee.
Then some pious men assembling, carried Stephen to his grave, and made great lamentation over him.
3 Lelo uSauli alitesile sana ikanisa. Ashilaga shila nyumba abhakhate na bhakwesanjile hwunze nabhaponyezya mulumande(mwijela) abhashe na bhalume, na kuwatupia gerezani.
But Saul ravaged the church, entering into the houses, and dragging men and women, cast them into prison.
4 Bhaala bhabhanyampine abheene bhalumbililaga izu lya Ngulubhi.
Those therefore who were dispersed, travelled through the country, preaching the word.
5 U Filipo ahishiye hu Samaria alumbililaga izu elya Ngulubhi.
But Philip, going down to a city of Samaria, preached Christ unto them.
6 Ubhungano nabhalola zyazibhombeha nu Filipo; bhazibheha humoyo gabho nahwitishile.
And the multitudes with united minds were very attentive to the things spoken by Philip, when they heard him, and saw the miracles which he did.
7 Abhantu bhabhali bhabhinu bhaponile amipepo mabhibhi gabhafumile abhantu uhu bhakholaawa na bhaala afwemanama bhaponile.
For the unclean spirits, roaring with great cries, came forth out of many who were possessed: and many who were paralytic and lame were healed.
8 Ensi ela bhasungwile sana.
And there was great joy in that city.
9 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.
But a certain man, named Simon, lived previously in that city, who practised magic, and astonished the nation of Samaria, giving out himself as an extraordinary great personage:
10 Abhasamaria bhonti bhahatejelezya ahwande umwa paka agosi abhantu bhaga umuntu unu ezi zyabhomba zifuma hwa Ngulubhi.”
to whom all gave heed from the small to the great, saying, This man is the great power of God.
11 Bhatejelezya maana abhaswijizizye tee nsiku nyinji ni tuunga lyakwe.
And to him they attended, because he had of a considerable time astonished them by his magical tricks.
12 Nabhahatejelezya uFilipo nalumbililaga uumwene uwa humwanya ni tawa lya Ngulubhi lyalyaponyaga abhantu ashilile hwitawa lya Yesu bhahoziwe alume na bhashe.
But when they believed Philip, who preached the glad tidings of the things which related to the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptised both men and women.
13 Wope uSimoni aheteshe ahoziwe nalileshe itunga lyakwe, ahendelela alongozanye nu Filipo; aswijile sana nahazilola Ungulubhi ashilile hwa Filipo zyazibhombeha ngosi tee.
Then Simon also himself believed: and being baptised, he attached himself to Philip, and beholding the signs and great miracles which were performed, he was astonished.
14 Atume nabhahumvwa aje abhahu Samaria bhalyeteshe izi lya Ngulubhi, bhahabhatuma uPetro nu Yohana.
But when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
15 Nabhafiha hula bhabhapuutila aje bhaposheele Umpepo Ufinjile.
who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
16 Ensiku zyonti izyo baalisile ahuposhele Umpepo Ufinjile bhonti lelo bhahoziwe hwitawa lya Yesu.
for as yet he had not fallen on any one of them: only they had been baptised into the name of the Lord Jesus.
17 U Petro nu Yohana bhabhabhishila amakhono bhabhapuutila, bhope baposhela Umpepo Ufinjile.
Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
18 U Simoni nawalola abhantu bhahuposhela Umpepo Ufinjile nabhabheshilwa amakhono na atume wanza aje abhapele ihela,
Now when Simon saw, that by the imposition of the apostles’ hands, the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
19 Waga, “Mpeli nane ouwezo, owo aje shila muntu yehubhishila amakhono aposhelaje Umpepo Ufinjile.”
saying, Confer on me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay my hands, they may receive the Holy Ghost.
20 U Petro wabhuula waga ihela zyaho nawe wayo mtejele uhwo ubhishile aje ekarama ya Ngulubhi tipelwa ni hela.
But Peter said unto him, May thy silver with thyself go into perdition, because thou hast imagined that the gift of God can be purchased with money.
21 Suli ni hama hwu mbombo ene umwoyo gwaho segugoloshe hwa Ngulubhi.
There is for thee neither part nor lot in this word: for thy heart is not right before God.
22 Eshi laamba hwa Ngulubhi ulwinje abhahusajile ensebho zyaho embibhi ezyo.
Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray to God, if haply this thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee.
23 Elola umwoyo gwaho segulishinza hunanchishe gupinyilwe ne mbibhi.”
For I see that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and the bond of iniquity.
24 U Simoni waga ilabha mumpuutile hwa Ngulubhi ezi zyamuyanjile zisahanaje.
Then Simon answering said, Pray ye for me unto the Lord, that none of the things which ye have spoken may come upon me.
25 U Petro nu Yohana pabhawelaga afume uhwo bhalumbiliye muvijiji vivinja evya Samaria pamande bhawela hu Yerusalemu.
Then they, after bearing their testimony, and speaking the word of the Lord, returned towards Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
26 Umalaika wa Ngulubhi wayanga nu Filipo waga sogola ushilile idala elya ntende(hu kusini) lwalihwishila hu Yerusalemu abhalile hu Gaza.” (Idala eli lili mwijangwa).
Now the angel of the Lord spake to Philip, saying, Arise, and go towards the south, on the road which leads down from Jerusalem to Gaza: it is a wilderness.
27 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.
And he arose and went: and lo! an Ethiopian man, an eunuch, a person in power under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasury; he had gone to worship unto Jerusalem,
28 Akhiiye mwi gari lyakwa abhazyaga ibhangili lya Isaya igari palijenda abhale amwabho.
and was returning, and sitting in his chariot, was reading the prophet Isaiah.
29 Umpepo wabhuula uFilipo zubhilila hwi gari elyo upalamane nalyo.
Then said the Spirit to Philip, Go up, and approach close to that chariot.
30 “U Filipo walishimbilila igari lila wamwunvwa ula umuntu abhazya mwibhangili elya Isaya wabhuzya uzyiliwe zyubhazya umwo?”
Then Philip running up to him, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah; and he said, Well! but dost thou understand what thou art reading?
31 Umuntu ula uMwiethiopia waga embahwelewe wili umuntu nkasiga andongozye? Wakhope lezya uFilipo aje ainjile mwigari lyakwe bhakhale bhonti.
He replied, How indeed can I, except some person guide me in the way? And he besought Philip to come up and sit with him.
32 Ibhangili lyabhazyaga pasimbilwe eshi alongoziwe neshi engole nabhabhalanayo asinze; apumile myee neshi engole, sigahiguye ilomu lyakwe:
The portion of scripture which he had been reading was this: “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb before him who sheareth it is dumb, so he opened not his mouth:
33 Azugumile hwakwe alongwe hwakwe hwa hepile: Weenu yaiyanga eshizazi shakwe(empapo yakwe)? amaisha gakwe gepile munsi.”
in his humiliation his judgment was taken away: but his generation who can describe? for his life was taken away from the earth.”
34 Ula uhasule mwithiopia wabhuuzya uFilipo unu umuntu yebhazya umu enongwa ezi zyakwe yuyo awe zya muntu winji”?
Then the eunuch addressing himself to Philip, said, I pray thee, of whom doth the prophet thus speak? of himself, or of some other person?
35 U Filipo wamwandila mwumwo munongwa zyabhazyaga mwibhangili lya Isaya hulumbilile izu lya Yesu.
Then Philip opening his mouth, and beginning from that scripture, preached to him Jesus.
36 Nabhandelela abhale bhafiha papali na menze ula uhasule wabhuzya uFilipo enya amenze ega epa henu hahansinti zya ahwoziwe?
But as they went on the road, they came to some water: and the eunuch said, Here is water, what forbids my being baptised?
37 u Filipo waga nkuyitishe ebhajiye ula Umwithiopia waga eneteshe huje uYesu mwana wa Ngulubhe, ula Umwithiopia wimiliha igari lyakwe.
And Philip said, If thou believest with the whole heart, it is allowable. Then he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 Bhiha bhonti mwigari bhatumbushila mumenze, uFilipo nu mwithiopia uFilipo wamwozya(wabhatizya).
And he bid the carriage stop: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptised him.
39 Nabhazubha afume muminzi bhonti Umpepo wanyatula uFilipo wasagala yu Mwithiopia mwene Umwithiopia wasogola nigari lyakwe abhalile shashiye humwoyo.
But when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught up Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more: then he went on his way rejoicing.
40 Lelo uFilipo abhuinishe hu azoto alumbililaga muvijiji na mujini mpaka afishile hu Kaisaria.
But Philip found himself at Azotus: and passing through he preached the gospel in all the cities, until he came to Caesarea.
