Acts 8
1 Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the assembly which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles.
Saule avena mukuzuminzana ni ifu lya kwe. Imi kuzwa yelyo izuva chikwazwa kunyandiswa ahulu kwe kerenke ivena mwa Jerusalema; imi vavazumini vose vava hasa neri muzi vaka za Judeya ni Samariya, mbwita vulyo va apositola.
2 Devout men buried Stephen and lamented greatly over him.
Vakwame vavazumini ni kusepahala vava ziki Sitefani ni kumulira ahulu.
3 But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into every house and dragged both men and women off to prison.
Kono Saule ava nyandisi ahulu inkerenke; ava kuyenda mwi nzuvo ni nzuvo ni kuzwisa mo vakwame ni vanakazi, ni kuba vika mutorongo.
4 Therefore those who were scattered abroad went around preaching the word.
Kono vava zumini vavali kuhasane chiva yenda ni va kutaza linzwi.
5 Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ.
Filipi ava yendi kumuleñi wa Samariya ni kuka kutaza kuvali za Keresite.
6 The multitudes listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip when they heard and saw the signs which he did.
Chinavungi chavantu havazuwa ni kuvona zisupo zava pangi Filipi, vava tekerezi ahulu hamwina kuza vali kuwamba.
7 For unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them. They came out, crying with a loud voice. Many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed.
Imi ku vantu vangi vava zizuwi, ihuho zisa chenete zibazwi hanze cho muhuwo mukando; ni vangi vava zuminine luñañali ni ziyanga vonse vava hozwa.
8 There was great joy in that city.
Mi kuvena ahulu kusangwa muwuna muleneñi.
9 But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who used to practice sorcery in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, making himself out to be some great one,
Kono kuvena mukwame zumwi mowu muleneñi yavali kusupwa Simoni, uzo yavali kupanganga mabivo kumatangiro; avali ku komasanga ahulu vantu va mwa Samariya, lyinu avali kulihinda kuva muntu yo tompeha.
10 to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is that great power of God.”
Vonse vena Samariya, kuzwa kumunini ni kumukando, vavali kumuteka ahulu; vava wambi, “Uzu mukwame je ziho ze Ireeza zi supwa vukando”.
11 They listened to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.
Vava tekereze kwali, kakuti avali kuva komosa ahulu che nako inde ni mavivo a kwe.
12 But when they believed Philip preaching good news concerning God’s Kingdom and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
Kono aho hachi vazumine izo zavava kutazi Filipi kuyamana ni evangeli yo muvuso we Ireeza ni zina lya Jesu keresite, vava kolovezwa, vonse vanakazi ni vakwame.
13 Simon himself also believed. Being baptized, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed.
Imi ni Simoni naye vulyo ava zumini: hacha mana ku kolovezwa, cha zwira havusu ni va ni Filipi; hacha vona imakazo ni mitendo ni ipangiwa, ava komokiswa ahulu.
14 Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,
Linu haveza kuzuwa va apositola mwa Jerusalema kuti vena Samariya vava tambuli linzwi lye Ireeza, chiva tumina kuvali Pitorosi ni Johani.
15 who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;
Hachiva shetumukere kuvali, chiveza kuva laperera, kuti vawole ku tambula Luhuho Lunjolola.
16 for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of Christ Jesus.
Kakuti bwita heyo inako, Luhuho Lunjolola kena luveni kukeza hewulu lyavo; vavali kukolovezwe vulyo mwi zina lya Simwine Jesu.
17 Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Linu Pitorosi ni Johani chiva vavika mayaza avo hewulu lyavo, mi chiva tambula Luhuho Lunjolola.
18 Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money,
Linu Simoni hacha vona kuti Luhuho Lunjolola luva hewa cho kuvikiwa cho kuvikiwa cha' mayaza, ava apositola chava newira ishereñi.
19 saying, “Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.”
Cha wamba, “Munihe izi ziho, name, iri kuti yense uni kambika manyanza hali a tambule Luhuho lunjolola.”
20 But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!
Kono Pitorosi chata kwali, “I silivera yanko i sinyehe nawe, kakuti u hupula kuwana impo ze Ireeza cha mashereñi.
21 You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God.
kawina chiyemba chimwi mwezi zintu, kakuti inkulo yanko kayina hande ni Ireeza.
22 Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
Cwale he uvake kovu vuvi bwako, mi ulapere kwa Simwine, iri kuti mwendi mwa wondere kumi nahano ye nkulo yanko.
23 For I see that you are in the poison of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity.”
Kakuti ni kubwene kuti wina chifanu chovu vengi ni mumawenge e chivi.
24 Simon answered, “Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to me.”
Simoni cha mwitava ni kumuti, “Uni laperere kwa Simwine, iri kuti zonse zintu ziwa wamba kanji zipangahali kwangu.”
25 They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Good News to many villages of the Samaritans.
Aho Pitorosi ni Johani haci vamana kuwamba linzwi lya Simwine, chiva vola kwa Jerusalema; mwinzira, vavali kukutaza evangeri muminzi mingi ya mwa Samariya.
26 Then an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise, and go toward the south to the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desert.”
Hanu iñiroyi lya Simwine chiya wamba kwa Filipi ni kuti, “Katuke ni kuyenda kwa mbowera kwi nzira iya kuku shetumukera kuzwa kwa Jerusalema kuya kwa Gaza.”( Iyi nzira ina mwi halaupa.)
27 He arose and went; and behold, there was a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship.
Ava katuki ni kuyenda. Muvone, kuvena mukwame youzwa kwa Etopiya, chikombwa cho muyendisi mukando Candesi, mulena wa Etopiya. Avali muvavaleli we chifumu chakwe chose. Avali kwizite kwa Jerusalema kuku lapera.
28 He was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
Chavali kuvola mi ave kere mwi kochikara ya kwe, mi avali kuya vuvala mwi vuka yo muporofita Isaya.
29 The Spirit said to Philip, “Go near, and join yourself to this chariot.”
Luhuho chilwa ti kwa Filipi, “Yende kwali mi wi kale hafuhi ni kochikara yakwe.”
30 Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”
Linu Filipi cha tilira kwali, ni kumuzuwa na vala Isaya muporofita, ni kuti, “Mane uzuwisisa cho kwete kuvala?”
31 He said, “How can I, unless someone explains it to me?” He begged Philip to come up and sit with him.
Mu Esopiya chati, “Niwola vule, mwendi zumwi ani tondeze?”Ava kumbiri Filipi kwiza kwi chira naye mwi kochikara ni kwi kala naye.
32 Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he does not open his mouth.
Linu vuvali vwe ñolo lyavali kuya vuvala mu Esopiya avali ili, “Avali twaliwa uvu imberere kukwi hayiwa; mi uvu imbere havusu i totwere havusu bwa fumwayo, ka zasumuni kaholo kakwe:
33 In his humiliation, his judgment was taken away. Who will declare His generation? For his life is taken from the earth.”
muma sukuluko a kwe i katulo yakwe iva zwiswa kwali: Jeni yata wambe lusika lwakwe? vuhalo bwakwe vuva hindwa hansi.”
34 The eunuch answered Philip, “Who is the prophet talking about? About himself, or about someone else?”
Linu mu Enuki cha vuza Filipi, “Ni kukumbira, jini yavali kuwamba muporofita? avali kuwamba iye mwine, kamba avali kuwamba zumwi muntu?”
35 Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him about Jesus.
Filipi cha tanga kuwamba; ava tangi neli iñolo mwa Isaya kukutaza kuyamana ni Jesu kwa li.
36 As they went on the way, they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Behold, here is water. What is keeping me from being baptized?”
Sina ha vavali kuya vuyenda munzira, vava kezi ha menzi; mu Enuki chati, “Vone, hena menzi hanu; chizi chini kanina kuku kolovezwa?”
Linu mu Etopiya cha laya i kochikara ku zimana.
38 He commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.
Chiva yenda hasi mumezi, bonse Filipi ni muenuki, imi Filipi cha mukoloveza.
39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him any more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
Hava zuvuka hanze ya menzi, Luhuho lwa Simwine chi lwa hinda Filipi; mu enuki kena ava muvoni hape, mi ava yendi mwi nzira yakwe na sangitwe.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus. Passing through, he preached the Good News to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.
Kono Filipi ava ka voneki kwa Azotusi. A vakayendi mwe zina zikiriti ni kukutaza Ivangeri kumi leneñi yonse, mbwita hakasika kwa Caseriya.
