Imbombo zya Atume 9
1 Lelo uSauli, ahindiliye atiisye abhantu bha Ngulubhi bhabhamwitishe uYesu, abhalile hwa Gosi uwishibhanza
But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
2 alabhiile ekarata yesimbilwe alabhe abhakhate bhaala bhoonti abhidala eli bhabhali mumasinagogi abhalume nabhashe, abhapinye na bhale hub Yerusalemu.
and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3 Na hendelelaga ashuule apalanila afishe hu Dameski ulukhozyo lwahakhozya afume humwanya lwazyungula ponti',
As he travelled, he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.
4 uSauli wagwa pandi wumvwa izu lihukwizya liyiga Sauli, Sauli, yeenu ohumnvisya?”
He fell on the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”
5 U Sauli wagamu waga awe wenanu Gosi? Ugosi waga, “Ane ne Yesu wumnvisya nantese;
He said, “Who are you, Lord?” The Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
6 Lelo bhuuha ubhale hujini hwa wabhalaga ubhalabhuulwe ezyabhombe
But rise up and enter into the city, then you will be told what you must do.”
7 Abhantu bhabhashuulile nu Sauli bhahapuma kati bhahumnvwa izu lelo umuntu yayanga sebhalolile.
The men who travelled with him stood speechless, hearing the sound, but seeing no one.
8 U Sauli wabhuuha pansi ahalinga ahwenye ahega amaso segalola, bhakhata ukhono bhaleta paka hu Dameski.
Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened, he saw no one. They led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.
9 Ensiku zitatu saa lya sigaamwela, siga ahwenya.
He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
10 Ahali umanyile(umwanafunzi) hu Dameski itawa yu Anania, u Yesu wayanga nawo Anania. U Anania waga ane epa, Gosi.
Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” He said, “Behold, it’s me, Lord.”
11 “Ugosi waga bhuuha ubhale ushilile hwidala lyalihwitwa Nyofu, uyinjile munyumba ya Yuda ubhuzye aje umuntu yafumile hu Tarso umuntu uyo ali salaabha(alisapuuta);
The Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judah for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying,
12 alolilo humbonesyo umuntu itawa lyakwe yu Anania ahubhishila lyakwe yu Anania ahubhishila amakhono pitwe aje alole amaso.
and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight.”
13 U Anania wagamula uYesu waga inumnvwizye hwa bhantu bhinji embibhi zya bhabhombiye abhantu bhaho uhwo hu Yerusalemu;
But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem.
14 Epa pope ali ne kalata yefumile hwa Gosi weshibha, abhakhate bhonti bhabhalikwizya itawa lyaho.
Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.”
15 Lelo Ugosi uYesu waga bhalaga awe, umuntu uyo esaluye alyeje itawa lyane hwapagana hwamfumu bensi na hwa aIsraeli.
But the Lord said to him, “Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the children of Israel.
16 Embahulolesye amambo minji gaiteswa hunongwa yi tawa lyane”.
For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.”
17 U Anania wabhala winjila munyumba mula wamwaga uSauli wabheshela amakhono waga wee Sauli, Ungulubhi ula yutangene nawo na winzaga ohu antumile upone ulole amaso na umposhele Umpepo Ufinjile.
Ananias departed and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
18 Nawabheshela amakho, vyalagala evintu neshi amakhonda afume humaso amaso giguhawanda alole, wimilila, bhwoziwa; walya eshalye wapata ikhone.
Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was baptised.
19 Wakhala natumwe ohwo hu Dameska ensiku nyinji.
He took food and was strengthened. Saul stayed several days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
20 Ulwo wabha ahulumbillia uYesu huje Mwana wa Ngulubhi.
Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed the Christ, that he is the Son of God.
21 Abhantu bhonti bhaswiga bhaga seeyayunu yalavyaga abhantu bhahalikwizyaga itawa eli hula hu Yerusalemu? Ata hwohu ahenzeye mbombo yeyo aje abhakhate nabhatwale hwa gosi hu Yerusalemu.”
All who heard him were amazed, and said, “Isn’t this he who in Jerusalem made havoc of those who called on this name? And he had come here intending to bring them bound before the chief priests!”
22 U Sauli apeete anguvu ezyalumbilile Ayahudi bhabhakhala hu Dameski bhachanganyikiwe nahulole huje uYesu aje lyoli yu Kilisiti.
But Saul increased more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
23 Ensiku nazyashila zinyinji, Ayahudi bhetehana huje bhabude usauli.
When many days were fulfilled, the Jews conspired together to kill him,
24 Lelo uSauli wamanya bhamwubhilaga mundyango pasanya nu siku aje bhabude.
but their plot became known to Saul. They watched the gates both day and night that they might kill him,
25 Bhaala bhabhamanyizyaga usauli bhahafumizya mwidirisha bhahapinyila eshitundu nulugalabho bhahamwisya ansoso.
but his disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
26 U Sauli nawafiha hu Yerusalemu, ahalinga asangane nabha Kilisiti amwabho, lelo abhene bhase guhaga, sigabhahitishiye aje uSauli apendushe amweteshe uYesu.
When Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
27 U Barnaba wamwega na hutwale hwa mitume nabhabhuule shapendushe nesha tangine nu Yesu mwidala na bhala hu Dameski, neshalumbilye hu Dameski nkahwogope.
But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.
28 Atangine nabho nabhahinjilaga nafume mu Yerusalemu. Wayanga nkahwogope itawa lya Yesu,
He was with them entering into Jerusalem,
29 abhuzanyaga na Ayahudi abheshi Yunani bhalingaga shila lisiku ahubude.
preaching boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus. He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.
30 Aholo bhakwe nabhamanya ezyo bhatolosya bhatwala hu Kaisaria, aje abhale hu Tarso.
When the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
31 Eshi ikanisa elya Uyahudi na hu Samaria na hu Galilaya lya hatengaana lyahagwizya umwoyo nu Mpepo Ufinjile ahabhatenganya ikanisa lyahonjelela uwinji.
So the assemblies throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
32 U Petro pazyungulaga ohu wuihwo alumbilile ibhangili ahafiha hu Lida abhajendea Kilisiti bhabhali uhwo.
As Peter went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.
33 Ohwo walola umuntu umo itawa lyakwe yu Ainea, ubili gwakwe alizilisu humaha nane; maana alikuwa amepooza.
There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years because he was paralysed.
34 U Petro wabhuula waga, “Ainea, uYesu Kilisti ahuponya bhuhapugonile, U Ainea wapona wa bhuha.
Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed!” Immediately he arose.
35 Abhantu bhonti bhabhakalaga hu Lida nahu Sharoni nabhahalola umuntu uyo bhahapenduha bhahamweteha uYesu.
All who lived at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
36 Ahali umwanafunzi umo hu Yafa itawa yu Tabitha, emaana yakwe hwa huje “Dorkasi” Ushi unu abhabhombelaga enyinza abhantu apiina.
Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which when translated means Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.
37 Lumo ahabhina empuungo ahafwa bhahamwozya bhahagonia hwigulu.
In those days, she became sick and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
38 E Lida sigayali hutali ne Yafa, bhatuma abhanafunzi hwa Petro abhantu bhabhili bhabhuula uPetro bhaga usahakhabhie saali hu mwitu”.
As Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them.
39 U Petro wabhuuha walongozanya nabho. Nabhafiha bhatwala hwigulu, abhashe abhafwile bhalanga amakoti na menda gabhasonelaga u Dorkasi nahali sha mwomi.
Peter got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper room. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the tunics and other garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
40 U Petro wabhafumia panzi bhonti nabhafuma uPetro wafugamila wapuuta, wapuutila uDorkasi wadamula amaso walola uPetro, wakhala pansi.
Peter sent them all out, and knelt down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41 U Petro wakhata ukhono wabhusya wabhakwizya bhaala abantu bhabhafumizye hwunzi na bhinjila wabapela umuntu wabho ali mwomi
He gave her his hand and raised her up. Calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
42 Ezi zyazibhombishe zyamanyiha hu Yafa hwonti abhantu bhabhinji bhapenduha bhagalushila uYesu.
This became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
43 U Petro ahakhiye ensiku zye nyinji hu Yafa nu muntu umo itawa yu Simoni, yalinganyaga insungwa.
He stayed many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.
