Imbombo 9
1 Loli u Sauli, alyaghendelile ujova isakwoghofia kuhulila kuluta kuva vulanisivuavulanisivua ava Mutua, alyalutile kwa ntekesi umbaha
Meanwhile Saul, still breathing out threats of murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
2 nakusuma ikalata vwimila vwa nyumba sa kufunyila kuula ku Dameski, ulwakuti angam'bone umunhu juno alimusila jila, ave mughosi nambe mumama, avaungaghe nakuvatwala ku Yerusalemu.
and begged of him letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any that were of the Way, either men or women, he could bind them and bring them to Jerusalem.
3 Pano alyale ichula, alyahumile kuuti ye alipipi ku Dameski, nakalingi ulumuli lukamumulikila imbale soni ulumuli kuhuma ku kyanya,'
And as he journeyed, when he was approaching Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed round him.
4 Ghuope akaghua pe akapulika ilisio likum'bala, “Sauli, Sauli, kiiki ghuumumusia une?”
He fell to the ground, and heard a voice which said to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?"
5 U Sauli akamula, veve Veni uve Mutwa? uMutwa akati, une nene Yesu nejuno ghuku ng'alasia;
And he said, "Who are you Lord?"
6 Loli imagha, ingila mulikaja, najuve ghuvuluagha sino siunoghile uvomba
"I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he said. "Stand up and go into the city, and there you shall be told what you must do."
7 avanhu vala vino valya kyulile palikimo nunu Sauli vakanyamala Kimie, vakapulika ilisio navaamwagha umunhu.
Meanwhile the men who were his fellow travelers stood speechless, hearing indeed the voice, but beholding no one.
8 U Sauli akima pa iisi akati adindwile amaso gha mwene, nalyakivwene kinu, vakankola uluvoko vakantwala kufika ku Dameski.
And Saul got up from the ground, but although his eyes were open, he continued to perceive nothing; so they took him by the hand and led him into Damascus.
9 Ifighono fitatu naalolagha, nakalisagha, nambe kunyua.
And he remained there three days, seeing nothing, and without eating or drinking.
10 Kange palyale um'bulanisivua ku Dameski ilitavua lyamwene Anania, uMutwa alyajovile nu mwene mu mbonekelo, “Anania.” Pe akajova, “Lolagha nilibahapa, Mutwa.
Now there was in Damascus a disciple named Ananias, and the Lord spoke to him in a vision, saying, "Ananias!" And he answered, "Lo, I am here, Lord."
11 “U Mutwa akam'bula, Ghuime ulutaghe kulyuve mumpulo ghuno ghutambulivua Nyofu, na munyumba ija Yuda kange kwe ukamposie umunhu junoo ihuma Tarso juno itambulivua Saudi; ulwakuva ajighe ikufunya;
And the Lord said to him. "Arise, go into the street named ‘Straight,’ and make inquiries in the house of Judas for a man of Tarsus, one Saul.
12 pe alya mbwene mu mbonekelo umunhu ilitavua lyamwene Anania ikwingila na pikumb'ikila amavoko pakyanya pa mwene ulwakuti alolaghe.
He is now praying, and has seen a man named Ananias enter and lay his hands on him to restore his sight."
13 Loli u Anania akamula, “Mutwa, nipulie imola isa munhu uju kuvanhu vinga, nasivalilika imbivi sino avombile avimike avaku Yerusalemu;
"But, Lord," said Ananias, "I have heard from many about that man, and how much evil he did to the saints at Jerusalem!
14 Apa alinuvulavulilua kuhuma kwa ntekesi um'baha kukunkola umunhu ghweni juno ikulitambula ilitavua lyako.
"In this city, too, he has authority from the chief priests to arrest all those who call upon thy name."
15 Loli umunhu akam'bula, “lutagha, ulwakuva umwene alikisalulua kulyune, atolaghe ilitavua ilyango kuvulongolo ku fisina na vutua na vanha va Israeli.
"Go," answered the Lord, "this man is chosen instrument of mine to bear my name before the nations and their kings, and before the Children of Israel also;
16 Ulwakuva nikuvasona ndavule silinyinga sino sinoghile kupumuka vwimila vwa litavua lyango”.
"for I am going to show him all he has to suffer for the sake of my name."
17 U Anania akaluta, akingila munyumba; Akam'bikila amavoko, Sauli nyalukolo, Mutwa Yesu, juno alyakuhumile musila pano ulyale ghukwisa, anyomuile kuuti ulolaghe kange neke umemesevue u Mhepo Mwimike.
And so Ananias went and entered into the house, and laying his hands on him, said, "Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, who appeared to you on your journey, has sent me that you may receive your sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit."
18 Nakalingi fikawisagha ifinu pamaso gha mwene fihene filaghalila, pe akalolagha, akima, akofughua, akalia ikwakulia akapata ingufu.
Instantly something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was baptized.
19 Akipakala palikimo na vavulanisivua ukuo ku Dameski mufighono finga.
Afterward he took food and was strengthened. And he remained for some time with the disciples at Damascus.
20 Unsiki ghughuo akampulisia u Yesu munyumba isaufunyila, akatisagha ndiki umwene mwana wa Nguluve.
And he began at once to proclaim in the synagogues Jesus as the Son of God.
21 VoniVoni vano vakapulike vakadeghagha na kujova, “Naghe munhu jujujuo juno akavananginie voni vano valitambulagha ilitavua ukuo ku Yerusalemu? Na bahapa akisile afumbilue na kukuvaunga na pikuvatwala ku vatekesi.”
His hearers were all astonished, and began to say. "Is not this the very man who in Jerusalem made havoc of those who called upon the Name? Did he not come hither for the express purpose of carrying them all in chains to the high priests?"
22 Loli u Sauli alyatangilue kudalikila na kuvavomba ava Yahudi vano vakikalagha ku Dameski vahasing'ane nakusimilisia Kati uju ghwe kilisite.
But Saul gained more and more influence, and kept putting the Jews who lived in Damascus to confusion by his proof that Jesus was the Christ.
23 Ye fikilile ifighono finga, ava Yahudi vakapinya palikimo lwakuuti vambude.
And when many days were fulfilled the Jews made a plot to kill Saul;
24 Loli kino valyapinyile kilya pavugholofu pa Sauli. Vakamwuvila pamulyango pamwisi na pakilo ulwakuti vam'bude.
but information of their plot was given Saul, and although they kept watch day and night on the gates, in order to make away with him,
25 Loli avavulanisivua vamwene vakantola pakilo kuilila muluvumba, vakamwisia pasi mu ndilo.
his disciples took him by night, and let him down over the wall, lowering him in a basket.
26 U Sauli ye afikile ku Yerusalemu, akalondagha uhasing'ana nava vulanisivua loliloli valyale vikumwoghopa, na vitikagha ghwope kuti m'bulanisivua.
So he came to Jerusalem, and attempted to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, because they did not believe that he was a disciple.
27 Loli u Barnaba ankantolagha na kukuntwala kuvasung'wa, kange akam'bula u Sauli vulealyambwene u Mutwa musilau Mutwa vule alyajovilealyajovile nu mwene, ndavule u Sauli vule alyadalikile nu vuangafu kulitavua ilya Yesu ukuo ku Dameski.
But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and told them how Saul had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him; and also how he had preached the Name of the Lord Jesus boldly at Damascus.
28 Alyatang'ine navene yavikwingila nakuhuma ku Yerusalemu. Pe akajova nuvukankafu kulitavua lya Mutwa Yesu,
Henceforth Saul was one of them, going in and out of the city, and speaking fearlessly in the Name of the Lord.
29 akaposaniagha Navarro Yahudi ava kiYunani loli nakinga vakaghela kukum'buda.
He also used to hold conversations and debates with the Grecian Jews, but they kept trying to kill him.
30 Unsiki avanyalukolo ye vaagwile imbombo ijio, vakantola kukilila Kaisaria, kange vaantwala alute ku Tarso.
When they learned this the brothers took him down to Caesarea, and then sent him forth to Tarsus.
31 Kange inyumba ijakufunyila joni muYahudi, Galilaya ni Samaria, jikale nu lutengano, kange jikajengilue, na kughendela muvwoghofi vwa Mutwa nu lutengano ulwa Mhepo Mwimike, inyumba ija kufunyila jiale mbaha na kikipugha kikongelela.
Now throughout the whole of Judea, Galilee, and Samaria the Church continued to enjoy peace and to be spiritually built up. It was increasing in members also, as it kept walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
32 Pope lulyahumile u Petro ye isyutasyuta imbale soni isakisina, akavikila avimike Venezuela vikukala mulikaja ilya Lida.
Now Peter, as he was going from town to town, came down also to the saints who lived in Lydda.
33 Alyambwene ukuo umunhu jono ilitavua lyamwene Anania, umunhu ujuo kale mukitala amaa lekela kwoni; Kane akokonyile.
Here he found a man named Aeneas, bedridden for eight years, a paralytic.
34 U Petro akam'bula, “Ainea, u Yesu kilisite akuvuvusie; Sisimuka kange utandike ikitala kyako,”
Peter said to him. "Aeneas, Jesus Christ cures you! Rise and make your own bed!"
35 Kange avanhu voni vanovakale vikukala u Lida naku Sharon ye vambwene umunhu ujuo, vaansyentukila uMutwa.
At once he rose to his feet. All the people of Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
36 Pe valyale avavulanisivua u Yafa juno itambulua Tabitha, linolikaghanulivue “Dorcas” Umama uju akamemile imbombo inofu ni mbombo ija lusungu ghano alyavombile kuvapina.
Among the disciples at Joppa was a woman named Tabitha - which may be translated Dorcas or "Gazelle" - a woman whose life was full of good works and almsgiving, which she was doing continually.
37 Jilyahumile mufighono ifio akatamua napifua; ye vansukile, vakantosia kukyumba ikya kukyanya na kukumughonia.
She, as it happened, was taken ill just at that time, and died. After washing her body, they laid it in an upper room.
38 Ulwakuva i Lida jilyale pipi ni Yafa, na vavulanisivua valya pulike kuti u Petro alyale ukuo, valyavomuile avanhu vavili kwakwa mwene, vakambula, “Isagha kulyusue kange nu ladilagha”.
And as Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, when they heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him with the entreaty, "Delay not to come to us."
39 U Petro aasisimuka nakuvuka navene. Yafike, vakantwala ku kyumba kya kukyanya. Kange avafwila vooni vakima pipi nu mwene vakakolagha, valyansonile ilikoti na menda ghano u Dorcas alyavahonile unsiki ghuno alyale palikimo na vene.
So Peter arose and went with them. On his arrival they took him up- stairs, and all the widows stood near him, weeping, and showing him the cloaks and garments which Dorcas used to make, while she was still with them.
40 U Petro akavahumila vooni kunji ku kyumba, akafughama akifunya, kange akaghusyetukkila umbili, akati, “Tabitha, sisimuka”. Akadindula amaso gha mwene ye amwaghile u Petro akikala pasi.
But Peter put them all out, and kneeled down, and prayed; and then turning to the body, he said, "Tabitha, rise!" She opened her eyes, and on seeing Peter she sat up.
41 Kange akampela uluvoko lwa mwene akampinda, ye avakemelile avitiki nava fwile, akavapela kuvanave ye alimwumi.
Then he gave her his hand and raised her up, and after calling the saints and the widows, he gave her back to them alive.
42 Imbombo iji jikakagulike mu Yafa joni, kange avanhu vinga vakamitika u Mutwa.
This incident became known throughout Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
43 Jilyahumile u Petro akikala ifighono finga ku Yafa palikimo nu muunhu juno atambulivuagha Simoni, juno itenda inguvu.
Peter stayed for some time in Joppa, lodging in the house of Simon, the tanner.
