Acts 16
1 Then came he to Derbe and Lystra: and, behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timotheus, the son of a certain woman, which was a Jewess, and believed; but his father was a Greek:
Paulo paaisile Derbe na Lystra; linga, palo pabile na mwanafunzi ywakemelwa Timotheo, ni muinja ywabelekwile na mao wa Kiyahudi ambaye ni muumini na tate bake ni Mgirki.
2 Which was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
Bandu ba Listra na Ikonio batimshuhudia vizuri.
3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and took and circumcised him because of the Jews which were in those quarters: for they knew all that his father was a Greek.
Paulo atimpala ili asafiri niywembe, nga nyo atimtola na kumtahiri kwa sababu ya Bayahudi babile kolyo mana baote bantangite kuwa tate bake ni Mgiriki.
4 And as they went through the cities, they delivered them the decrees in order to keep, that were ordained of the apostles and elders which were at Jerusalem.
Pabayenda bapetya katika miji na kutoa maagizo kwa makanisa ili kugatii maagizo ayo yaandikilwe na mitume na apindo kolyo Yerusalemu.
5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Nga nyo makanisa yatiimarishwa katika imani na baamini bationgezeka kwa idadi kila lisoba.
6 Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Spirit (pneuma) to preach the word (logos) in Asia,
Paulo na mwenzake batiyenda Firigia na Galatia, mana Roho wa Nnongo atibakanikia kuhubiri neno kolyo katika jimbo lya Asia.
7 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit (pneuma) suffered them not.
Pabakaribia Misia, batijaribu yenda Bithinia, lakini Roho wa Yesu atibakanikia.
8 And they passing by Mysia came down to Troas.
Kwa eyo bapeta Misia baisa mpaka Mji wa Troa.
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
Maono gatimtokya Paulo kilo, pabile na mundu ba Makedonia ayemi, akimkema no baya, “Muise mtusaidie huku Makedonia.”
10 And after he had seen the vision, immediately we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the Lord had called us in order to preach the gospel unto them.
Paulo paabweni maono mara twatijiandaa kuyenda, Makedonia, atangite panga Nnongo atukemle kuyenda kubahubiria injili.
11 Therefore loosing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the next day to Neapolis;
Nga nyoo tubokite boka Troa, kuyenda moja kwa moja Samothrake, na lisoba lyanyaibele tuikite mji wa Neapoli.
12 And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: and we were in that city abiding certain days.
Boka hapo twatiyenda Filipi ambao ni yumo wa ga Makedonia, mji muhimu katika wilaya na utawala wa Kirumi na twatitama masoba kadhaa.
13 And on the sabbath we went out of the city by a river side, where prayer was known to be made; and we sat down, and spoke unto the women which resorted thither.
Lisoba lya Sabato, twatiyenda panja ya nnango kwa ndela ya mto, sehemu ambayo twatidhani pabile na mahali pakupanga maombi. Twatitama pae na longela na alwawa baisile mpamo.
14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.
Nwawa yumo ywakemelwa Lidia, ywapemeya zambarau, boka katika mji wa Tiatira, ywatimwabudu Nnongo, atitusikiliza. Ngwana atimfungua mwoyo wake na kubeka maanani maneno yabayilwe na Paulo.
15 And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If all of you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.
Baada ya batizwa, ywembe na nyumba yake yote, balitusihi akibaya, “kati mwamunibweni kuwa nenga na mwaminifu katika Ngwana, bai nawasihi mujingii na tama kwango.”Atitusihi muno.
16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit (pneuma) of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:
Ipalike panga, patubile twayenda mahali kuloba, nwawa yumo ywabile na nchela lya utambuzi atikwembana natwenga. Atimletea ngwana wake faida yanyansima kwa kubashiri.
17 The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which show unto us the way of salvation.
Nwawa yolo atimkengama Paulo pamope na twenga, akombwa ndoti no baya “Haba alalome ni batumishi ba Nnongo ywabile nkolo, watibatangazia mwenga habari ya wokovu.”
18 And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, (pneuma) I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.
Apangite nyoo kwa masoba ganyansima, lakini Paulo abile amekasirishwa na likowe loo, atikerebuka kunchogo na kummakiya nchela, “Nakubakiya kwa lina lya Yesu uboke nkati yake.” Ni ywembe atiboka ma kunleka mara jimo.
19 And when her masters saw that the hope of their gains was gone, they caught Paul and Silas, and drew them into the marketplace unto the rulers,
Angwana bake pabamweni ya kuwa litumaini lya faida yabe latibutuka, batimkamwa Paulo na Sila na kubaburuza kulisoko nnongi yababile na mamlaka.
20 And brought them to the magistrates, saying, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
pabaikilwe kwa mahakimu, babaya, “Aba alalome ni Ayahudi na batipanga ghasia ngolo katika mji witu.
21 And teach customs, which are not lawful for us to receive, neither to observe, being Romans.
Bafundisha makowe ambayo nga saliya kwaa twenga kugapokya wala kugakengama kati Arumi.”
22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent off their clothes, and commanded to beat them.
Kipenga chatiinuka nchogo ya Paulo na Sila, mahakimu batirarua ngobo zao na kubavua na kubaamuru babakombwe bakora.
23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
Baada ya kubakombwa bakora zanyansima batibatupa muligereza na kumuamuru askari ba ligereza kubalinda vyema.
24 Who, having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
Baada ya kupokya amri yee, askari wa ligereza atibatupa katika chumba cha nkati ya ligereza na kubataba magolo gabe katika sehemu yaatibahifadhi.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
Muda wa kilo ya manane, Paulo na Sila babile batiloba na kuimba nyimbo za kunsifu Nnongo, huku afungwa benge bakibasikiliza.
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.
Ghafa patitokya lilendemo kolo na misingi ya ligereza yatitikisika, nnango wa ligereza watifunguka, na minyororo ya bafungwa bote yatilegezwa.
27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
Mlinzi wa ligereza atiamka boka mulugona na kubona milango yote ya ligereza yatifunguka: nga nyo atitola upanga wake mana apala kujibulaga kwa sababu atangite kuwa afungwa bote batitorka,
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do yourself no harm: for we are all here.
Lakini, Paulo kakombwa ndoti kwa lilobe likolo, kabaya “Kana ujidhuru kwa mana twabote tubile mahali pano.”
29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,
Mlinzi wa ligereza aloba taa iletwe na kujingya nkati ya ligereza kwa haraka, atirendema na kuogopa, atitomboka pae ya Paulo na Sila,
30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
na kubatoa panja ya ligereza nobaya, “Waheshimiwa, nipange namani ili nipate kuokoka?”
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you shall be saved, and your house.
Na bembe bammakiya, “Muamini Ngwana Yesu niwenga walowa kuokkoka pamope na nyumba yako.”
32 And they spoke unto him the word (logos) of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
Batilongela neno lya Ngwana kwake, pamope na bandu bote ba nyumba yake,
33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, immediately.
Mlinzi wa ligereza atibatola kilo yelo na kuwaosha sehemu baumile, ywembe pamope na bandu ba munyumba yake batibatiza mara.
34 And when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them, and rejoiced, believing in God with all his house.
Atibaleta Paulo na Sila mu'nyumba yake na kubaandalia chakulya. Ni ywembe abile na puraha kolo pamope na bandu ba mu'nyumba yake kwa sababu balimwamini Nnongo.
35 And when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, Let those men go.
Paiikite mutwekati, mahakimu batituma ujumbe kwa yolo mlinzi ba ligereza bakibaya, “Baruhusu balo bandu bayende,”
36 And the keeper of the prison told this saying (logos) to Paul, The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore depart, and go in peace.
Mlinzi wa ligereza kammakiya Paulo nnani ya maneno ago ga kuwa, “Mahakimu batituma ujumbe niruhusu mwondoke: nga nyoo muboke panja na muyende kwa amani.”
37 But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us openly uncondemned, being Romans, and have cast us into prison; and now do they thrust us out privately? nay verily; but let them come themselves and fetch us out.
Lakini Paulo ammakiye, “Balitukombwa hadharani, bandu ambao ni Arumi bila kutuhukumu na batiamua kututupa mu'ligereza; alafu nambeambe bapala kututoa kwa siri? Ntopo, yawezekana kwaa, bembe babene baise kututoa mahali pano.”
38 And the sergeants told these words (rhema) unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans.
Balinzi batibajulisha mahakimu nnani ya maneno ago, mahakimu batiyogopa muno palo batangite kuwa Paulo na Sila ni Arumi.
39 And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired them to depart out of the city.
Mahakimu baisile na kuwasihi baboke, na batibatoa panja ya ligereza, batibaloba Paulo na Sila batoke panja ya mji wabembe.
40 And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
Kwa eyo Paulo na Sila batiboka panja ya ligereza baisa mu'nyumba ya Lidia. Paulo na Sila pababweni alongo, batibatia mwoyo na boka po batiboka katika mji woo.
