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.
U Savuli ale pamidihano nuuvuufye wa mwene. eisikhu eyo pu akhanja ukhuvatesya nduvusayiliwo eitembile ya khu Yelusalemu; navakilisiti voni avava yaganikhe mumajimbo ga Yudea nakhu Samalia, isipokuwa mitume.
2 Devout men buried Stephen and lamented greatly over him.
Puu avanu mwidikhe Unguluve vakhasila uSitefani nukhundilila ikhililo ikhivaha.
3 But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into every house and dragged both men and women off to prison.
U Savuli anangila pavaha eitembile einyumba nei nyumba nukhuvatesya avadala na vagosi, nukhuvakunga mujiela.
4 Therefore those who were scattered abroad went around preaching the word.
Pu avakilisiti avavakha yaganikhe vakhendelela ukhulumbilila eilimenyu.
5 Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ.
U Filipo akhikha khu Samalia nukhunchova eilimenyu lya Yesu ukhwa.
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.
Puu ululundamano vululolile nukhupulikha ifihwani ifi avombile uFilipo vakhavikha mug'ati munumbula eikhi anchovile.
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.
Ukhuhuma apo avanu vingi avavapulikhe, eimepu imbivi in'chi humile khuvanu ukhwa vakhalila fin'cho navingi avavalemilwe navalema vakhapona.
8 There was great joy in that city.
Puuu khwale nuluhekhelo uluvaha mu mitava.
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,
Pu alipo umunu yumo mutava ugwa eilitawa vei Simoni, yuywa avombaga fincho uvuhavi; uvu avasigenchaga fincho avanu vakhu Samalia, vuita umwene munu inonu fincho.
10 to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is that great power of God.”
Avasamalia voni avavaha navadebe, vakhapilehin'cha; nukhuta;”umunu uyuu gumakha ga Nguluve amavaha.”
11 They listened to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.
Vakhapulehin'cha, pakhuva avaswiginche usikhi untali nuvuhaviwa mwene.
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.
Vuvapulikhi uFilipo alumbilile in'cha ludeva lwa khukianya ulwa Nguluve vakhedikha nukhwon'chiwa, avadala navagosi.
13 Simon himself also believed. Being baptized, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed.
Nu Simoni vope akhidikha vuon'chiwe akhava panin'wee nu Filipo; vualolile ifiswigo ifivombekha.
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,
Pu avasuhiwa va khu Yelusalemu vuvapulikhe ukhuta khu Samalia vupelile elimenyu lya Nguluve, vakhavasuha uPeteli na Yohani.
15 who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;
Vuvikhwikha vakhavadovela ukhuta vapokhele Umepo Umbalanc'he.
16 for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of Christ Jesus.
Khu sikhi ugwa, Umepo Umbalan'che akhava badu savikhile ete yumo; va on'chiwe khulitawa lya Bwana Yesu.
17 Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Pu uPeteli nu Yohani vakhavavikhila amavokho, vope puvakhapokhela Umepo Umbalan'che.
18 Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money,
Vu uSimoni alolile Umepo ahumile ukhugendela amavokho navasuhiwa; akhanogwa ukhuvapa ehela,
19 saying, “Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.”
Akhata, “Mume nayune amakha, vunivikha amavokho khu khila munu upililage Umepo Umbalan'che.”
20 But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!
U Peteli akhambula akhata; indalama n'chakho paninwe nuve fiyage khuvutali, pakhuva utile eikhikungilwa kya Nguluve khivonekha ni ndalama.
21 You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart isn’t right before God.
Ulin'chila luvafu ne mbombo eiyee pakhuva einumbula yakho sayile vononu pamiho ga Nguluve.
22 Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
Pu yinogiwa upile inongwa n'chakho nukhudova Unguluve pamo ukhukhusyikhila inongwa ncha numbula yakho.
23 For I see that you are in the poison of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity.”
Pakhuva nivona ulie mugati muluvipo lwa vutulanongwa.”
24 Simon answered, “Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to me.”
U Simoni akhanchova akhata, “Mudove Unguluve khujili yango, pakhuva imbombo nchoni inchimunchovile n'chiwesya ukhuhumila.
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.
Puu uPeteli nu Yohani vuvalumbilile eilimenyu lya Nguluve, vakhavuya khu Yelusalemu khu njila eyo; valumbilile eilemenyu mu fijiji vingi ifya Samaria.
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.”
Puu usuhwa va Nguluve akhanchova nu Filipo na kusema, “Ulole khusikha einjila ya pasi ya khu Yelusalemu ukhuluta Gaza.” (Einjila eiye yelindukungu).
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.
Akhalola nukhuluta. Lola, pakhava nu munu vakhu Ethiopia, utowasi unyavulamun'chi uvuvaha pasi pa kandase; umbaha pakhianya pakhibana kya mwene kyoni; vope alutile khu Yelusalemu khukhwisaya.
28 He was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
Alikhuvuyatamile mumutukha ya mwene ukhwemba eilivangili kya Isaya.
29 The Spirit said to Philip, “Go near, and join yourself to this chariot.”
Umepo akhanchova nu Filipo, “Hegelela pa mutukha eiyee ulutagenayo.
30 Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”
“U Filipo akhanyila uluvilo, akhambona ukhwemba elivangile khwa Isaya; akhata, Ukhimanyile eikhivukhwimba?”
31 He said, “How can I, unless someone explains it to me?” He begged Philip to come up and sit with him.
Umwethiopia akhata, “nialesya ndakhekhi umunu vusandongwin'che?” Akhadovo uFilipo eipakhile eimutukha atame paninwe nu mwene.
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 doesn’t open his mouth.
Lino elivangili uli ukhimbaga Mwethiopia lwu ile; alongon'chiwe ndei ng'osi ukhuluta khuhenjiwa; ndei ng'osi eiyin'chige myee; na kama kondoo alinyamaza kimya, sayidendiwe undomo:
33 In his humiliation, his judgment was taken away. Who will declare His generation? For his life is taken from the earth.”
Palususuvalo lwa mwene uvuhigi wa mwene vukhahega: Veni alen'chova ikhivumbukho kya mwene? Uvutamo wa mwene vahegile mukhilunga.”
34 The eunuch answered Philip, “Who is the prophet talking about? About himself, or about someone else?”
Puu utowashi akhambun'cha uFilipo, akhata, “nidova, veni unyamalago uviinchova imbombo n'cha mwene, ewo n'cha munu uyunge”?
35 Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him about Jesus.
U Filipo akhanja ukhunchova eikhulongwi ya limenyu lya khwa Isayi ukhulumbilila eilimenyu lya Yesu.
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?”
Vuvali munjila, vakhafikha pamagasi,' utowashi akhata, “Apapali namagasi khekhi khikhusiga nesite ukhuonchiwa?,
amamenyu aga, “Uumwethiopia gakhakola “akhata nedikhe ukhuta uYesu Kristi Mwana va Nguluve,” aga gasimuli mulivangile ilitan'chi). Pu Umwethiopia akhimikha ei mutukha.
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.
Vakhaluta pamagasi nu Filipo nu towasi, uFilipo akhamwon'cha.
39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch didn’t see him any more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
Vuvahumile mumagasi, Umepo va Nguluve akhang'ilekha khuvutali uFilipo; utowasi sakhambona akhagenda einjila ya mwene nuluhekhelo.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus. Passing through, he preached the Good News to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.
Pu uFilipo akhahumila khuu Azoto. Akhagenda mukhilunga khila nu khulumbilila eilimenyu mu fijiji vyoni akhafikha khu Kaisaria.
