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.
And Saul was assenting to his death, and there came in that day a great persecution on the Assembly in Jerusalem, all were also scattered abroad in the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles;
2 Abhantu bha Ngulubhi bhasyela uStefano bhazondiye enzondo engosi tee.
and devout men carried Stephen away, 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.
and Saul was making havoc of the Assembly, entering into every house, and dragging away men and women, giving them up to prison;
4 Bhaala bhabhanyampine abheene bhalumbililaga izu lya Ngulubhi.
they then indeed, having been scattered, went abroad proclaiming good news—the word.
5 U Filipo ahishiye hu Samaria alumbililaga izu elya Ngulubhi.
And Philip having gone down to a city of Samaria, was preaching the Christ to them;
6 Ubhungano nabhalola zyazibhombeha nu Filipo; bhazibheha humoyo gabho nahwitishile.
the multitudes were also giving heed to the things spoken by Philip, with one accord, in their hearing and seeing the signs that he was doing,
7 Abhantu bhabhali bhabhinu bhaponile amipepo mabhibhi gabhafumile abhantu uhu bhakholaawa na bhaala afwemanama bhaponile.
for unclean spirits came forth from many who were possessed, crying with a loud voice, and many who have been 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.
And a certain man, by name Simon, was previously in the city using magic, and amazing the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be a certain great one,
10 Abhasamaria bhonti bhahatejelezya ahwande umwa paka agosi abhantu bhaga umuntu unu ezi zyabhomba zifuma hwa Ngulubhi.”
to whom they were all giving heed, from small to great, saying, “This one is the great power of God”;
11 Bhatejelezya maana abhaswijizizye tee nsiku nyinji ni tuunga lyakwe.
and they were giving heed to him, because of his having amazed them for a long time with deeds of magic.
12 Nabhahatejelezya uFilipo nalumbililaga uumwene uwa humwanya ni tawa lya Ngulubhi lyalyaponyaga abhantu ashilile hwitawa lya Yesu bhahoziwe alume na bhashe.
And when they believed Philip, proclaiming good news, the things concerning the Kingdom of God and the Name of Jesus Christ, they were immersed—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.
and Simon himself also believed, and having been immersed, he was continuing with Philip, beholding also signs and mighty acts being done, he was amazed.
14 Atume nabhahumvwa aje abhahu Samaria bhalyeteshe izi lya Ngulubhi, bhahabhatuma uPetro nu Yohana.
And the apostles in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria has received the word of God, sent Peter and John to them,
15 Nabhafiha hula bhabhapuutila aje bhaposheele Umpepo Ufinjile.
who having come down prayed concerning them, that they may receive the Holy Spirit—
16 Ensiku zyonti izyo baalisile ahuposhele Umpepo Ufinjile bhonti lelo bhahoziwe hwitawa lya Yesu.
for as yet He was fallen on none of them, and only they have been immersed—into the Name of the Lord Jesus;
17 U Petro nu Yohana bhabhabhishila amakhono bhabhapuutila, bhope baposhela Umpepo Ufinjile.
then they were laying hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
18 U Simoni nawalola abhantu bhahuposhela Umpepo Ufinjile nabhabheshilwa amakhono na atume wanza aje abhapele ihela,
And Simon, having beheld that through the laying on of the hands of the apostles the Holy Spirit is given, brought money before them,
19 Waga, “Mpeli nane ouwezo, owo aje shila muntu yehubhishila amakhono aposhelaje Umpepo Ufinjile.”
saying, “Give also to me this authority, that on whomsoever I may lay the hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.”
20 U Petro wabhuula waga ihela zyaho nawe wayo mtejele uhwo ubhishile aje ekarama ya Ngulubhi tipelwa ni hela.
And Peter said to him, “Your silver with you—may it be to destruction! Because you thought to possess the gift of God through money;
21 Suli ni hama hwu mbombo ene umwoyo gwaho segugoloshe hwa Ngulubhi.
you have neither part nor lot in this thing, for your heart is not right before God;
22 Eshi laamba hwa Ngulubhi ulwinje abhahusajile ensebho zyaho embibhi ezyo.
convert, therefore, from this your wickedness, and implore God, if then the purpose of your heart may be forgiven you,
23 Elola umwoyo gwaho segulishinza hunanchishe gupinyilwe ne mbibhi.”
for in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness, I perceive you being.”
24 U Simoni waga ilabha mumpuutile hwa Ngulubhi ezi zyamuyanjile zisahanaje.
And Simon answering, said, “Implore for me to the LORD, that nothing may come on me of the things you have spoken.”
25 U Petro nu Yohana pabhawelaga afume uhwo bhalumbiliye muvijiji vivinja evya Samaria pamande bhawela hu Yerusalemu.
They indeed, therefore, having testified fully, and spoken the word of the LORD, turned back to Jerusalem; they also proclaimed good news 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).
And a messenger of the LORD spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise, and go on toward the south, on the way that is going down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This is desolate.)
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 having arisen, he went on, and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a man of rank, of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship;
28 Akhiiye mwi gari lyakwa abhazyaga ibhangili lya Isaya igari palijenda abhale amwabho.
he was also returning, and is sitting on his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
29 Umpepo wabhuula uFilipo zubhilila hwi gari elyo upalamane nalyo.
And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go near, and be joined to this chariot”;
30 “U Filipo walishimbilila igari lila wamwunvwa ula umuntu abhazya mwibhangili elya Isaya wabhuzya uzyiliwe zyubhazya umwo?”
and Philip having run near, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah and said, “Do you then know what you read?”
31 Umuntu ula uMwiethiopia waga embahwelewe wili umuntu nkasiga andongozye? Wakhope lezya uFilipo aje ainjile mwigari lyakwe bhakhale bhonti.
And he said, “Why, how am I able, if someone may not guide me?” He called Philip also, having come up, to sit with him.
32 Ibhangili lyabhazyaga pasimbilwe eshi alongoziwe neshi engole nabhabhalanayo asinze; apumile myee neshi engole, sigahiguye ilomu lyakwe:
And the passage of the Writing that he was reading was this: “He was led as a sheep to slaughter, And as a lamb before his shearer is silent, So He does not open 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, And His generation—who will declare? Because His life is taken from the earth.”
34 Ula uhasule mwithiopia wabhuuzya uFilipo unu umuntu yebhazya umu enongwa ezi zyakwe yuyo awe zya muntu winji”?
And the eunuch answering Philip said, “I beg you, about whom does the prophet say this? About himself, or about some other one?”
35 U Filipo wamwandila mwumwo munongwa zyabhazyaga mwibhangili lya Isaya hulumbilile izu lya Yesu.
And Philip having opened his mouth, and having begun from this Writing, proclaimed good news to him—Jesus.
36 Nabhandelela abhale bhafiha papali na menze ula uhasule wabhuzya uFilipo enya amenze ega epa henu hahansinti zya ahwoziwe?
And as they were going on the way, they came on some water, and the eunuch said, “Behold, water; what hinders me to be immersed?”
37 u Filipo waga nkuyitishe ebhajiye ula Umwithiopia waga eneteshe huje uYesu mwana wa Ngulubhe, ula Umwithiopia wimiliha igari lyakwe.
[[And Philip said, “If you believe out of all the heart, it is lawful”; and he answering said, “I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God”; ]]
38 Bhiha bhonti mwigari bhatumbushila mumenze, uFilipo nu mwithiopia uFilipo wamwozya(wabhatizya).
and he commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he immersed him;
39 Nabhazubha afume muminzi bhonti Umpepo wanyatula uFilipo wasagala yu Mwithiopia mwene Umwithiopia wasogola nigari lyakwe abhalile shashiye humwoyo.
and when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the LORD snatched up Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more, for he was going on his way rejoicing;
40 Lelo uFilipo abhuinishe hu azoto alumbililaga muvijiji na mujini mpaka afishile hu Kaisaria.
and Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through, he was proclaiming good news to all the cities, until his coming to Caesarea.
