Acts 16
1 And he came even unto Derbe, and unto Lystra; and lo! a certain disciple, was there, by name Timothy, son of a believing Jewish woman, but whose father was a Greek, —
Pawulo wakasika alimwi ku Debbe aku Lisitila, aboobo, umwi mutobeli uutegwa Timoti wakaliwo, imwana wamukayintu muJuda iwakali musyomi, pesi wisi wakali muGiliki.
2 who was well-attested by the brethren in Lystra, and Iconium.
Wakali ampuwo mbotu kulibakwabo ibakali ku Lisitila aku Ikkoniyamu.
3 The same, would Paul have go forth with him, and took and circumcised him, on account of the Jews who were in those places; for they one and all knew that, his father, was, a Greek.
Pawulo wakali kuyanda kweenda anguwe; nkinkaako wakamubweza wamupalula kaambo kaba Juda bakali mumasena aayo, nkambo kakuti boonse bakalizizi kuti wisi mu Giliki.
4 And, as they passed through the cities, they were delivering unto them, for observance, the decrees which had been decided upon by the Apostles and Elders who were in Jerusalem.
Awo nibakayobweenda lwendo lwabo mumadolopo, bakayobupa imajwi kubatumwa abapati ibakali mu Jelusalema ikuti balilemeke.
5 The assemblies, therefore, were being confirmed in the faith, and increasing in number, every day.
Awo imbungano zyakasimisigwa mu mweelwe ibuzuba abuzuba.
6 And they passed through the Phrygian and Galatian country, being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;
Pawulo abasindikizi bakwe bakayinda kumasena a Pilijiya a Galantiya, mbuli kuti bakali babindwa aMuuya Uusalala kuti bakambauke ijwi mubusena bwa Eziya.
7 but, coming along Mysia, they were attempting to journey into Bithynia, —and, the Spirit of Jesus, suffered them not;
Nibakasika afwifwi Misiya, bakeezya kunjila mu Bbitiniya, pesi imuuya wa Jesu wakabakasya.
8 but, passing by Mysia, they came down unto Troas.
Awo nibakayinda Misiya, bakakusika kudolopo lya Tulowasi.
9 And, a vision, by night, unto Paul appeared: —A man of Macedonia, there was, standing and beseeching him, and saying—Come over into Macedonia, and bring us succour!
Ichilengano chakaboneka kuli Pawulo imansiku; imwalumi waku Mesodoniya wakalimvwi mpawawo, kalikumukkumbila akwamba kuti, “kweza ku Mesodoniya uzotugwasye,”
10 Now, when, the vision, he had seen, straightway, we sought to go forth unto Macedonia, concluding that God, had summoned us to tell the glad tidings unto them.
awo Pawulo nakabona chilengano, mpawawo twakabambilila kuyaku Mesodoniya, akuzumina kuti Leza nguwatwiita kuti tukakambauke ijwi kuli mbabo.
11 Setting sail, therefore, from Troas, we ran straight into Samothracia, and, on the morrow, unto New City,
Akutalika kuyamba kuzwa ku Trowasi, twakeendela limwi kululama ku Samotilasi, aboobo mubuzuba butobela twakasika ku Neyopolisi.
12 and, from thence, unto Philippi, —which, indeed, is the first city of the part of Macedonia—a colony. And we were, in this city, spending certain days;
Kuzwaawo twakaya ku Filipi, kalili dolopo lyaku Mesodoniya, idolopo lyabulemu mubboma akubwendeleezi bwa Loma, aboobo twakakkala mazuba miingi mudolopo eeli.
13 and on the day of rest, we went forth outside the gate, beside a river, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, —and, sitting down, we went on to speak unto the women who had come together.
mubuzuba bwamugibelo twakazwa aanze aakkoma lyakubbazu lyamulonga, oko nkutwakayeya kuti kuli busena bwakukombela. Twakakkala aansi twambuula abakaintu bakabungene.
14 And, a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, devout towards God, was hearkening, whose heart, the Lord, fully opened, to be giving heed unto the things being spoken by Paul.
Umwi mwanakazi walikutegwa Lidiya, wakalikusambala zisamo zyamubala wantumbula, iwakali kukomba Mwami, wakatuswilila. Leza wakajula moyo wakwe kuti aswilizye loko nzyakali kwamba Pawulo.
15 And, when she was immersed, and her house, she besought [us], saying—If ye have judged me to be a believer in the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there]. And she constrained us.
Aawo naka bbabbatizigwa antoomwe abempuli yakwe, wakatukombelazya, wakamba kuti, “kuti mwandibona kuti ndilasyoma kuli Leza, amuze mukakkale kunganda yangu.” Alimwi wakatukombelezya.
16 And it came to pass, as we were on our way unto the place of prayer, a certain damsel, having a spirit of Python, met us, —who, indeed, much gain, was presenting unto her masters, by divining.
Mbuzyakaba, aawo nitwakali kuya kubusena bwakukukombela, umwi musimbi muzike iwakali aamuya wabusondi wakatuwondongania. Wakapa basimalelo bakwe impindu kuzwa kubusondi bwakwe.
17 The same, following after Paul and us, kept crying aloud, saying—These men, are servants of the Most High God, —who, indeed, are declaring unto you a way of salvation.
Oyu mukaintu wakatobelela Pawulo andiswe kali koompolola, wakati, “Aaba balumi mbabelesi ba Leza wabulemu. Bali kumukambawukila ijwi lyalufutuko.”
18 And, this, she continued to do for many days. But Paul, worn out, and turning unto the spirit, said—I charge thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out from her. And it came out the same hour.
Wakachita mbuboobu kwamazuba miingi. Pesi Pawulo, nakamunyemya loko, wakacheba akwambila muuya oyu wakati, “Ndili kukwambila muzina lya Jesu Kilisito kuti uzwe mumukayintu oyu.” Aboobo imuuya wakazwa muchiindi nchichecho.
19 And, her masters, seeing that their hope of gain had gone out, laying hold on Paul and Silas, dragged them into the market-place, unto the rulers;
Aawo basimalelo bakwe nibakabona kuti imweenya wabo wakujana mpindu wagola, bakajata Pawulo a Sayilasi akubakwelela kuli basimulawu muchisambalilo.
20 and, leading them forward unto the magistrates, said—These men, are exceedingly troubling our city, they, being Jews,
Nibakabeeta kuli Sikubeteka, bakati, “Aaba baalumi balikupenzya idolopo lyesu, mba Juda.
21 And are declaring customs, which it is not allowable for us either to accept or to observe, being Romans.
Bakambawuka milawu itazumininwi kuti ba Looma batambule akuchita mbubo.”
22 And the multitude rose up together against them, and, the magistrates, rending off them their mantles, were giving orders to beat them with rods;
Aawo iluundu loonse lwakanyampuka akutongooka aatala a Pawulo a Sayilasi, imubetesi wakadelula akubazwatununa zisamo akwambilizya kuti bawumwe amilamu.
23 and, laying upon them many stripes, they thrust them into prison, charging the prison-keeper, safely, to be keeping them:
Nibakamana kubabuduula, bakabawalila muntolongo akwambila simulinda ntolongo kuti abalinde tabazwi.
24 who, a charge like this receiving, thrust them into the inner prison, and, their feet, made he fast in the stocks.
Musule akapegwa mulawo oyu, simulinda ntolongo wakabajalila mukaanda kamukati loko kabasungidwe misungo kumawulu.
25 And, at midnight, Paul and Silas, being at prayer, began singing praise unto God; and the prisoners unto them, did hearken.
Aakati kabusiku Pawulu a Sayilasi bakalikukomba akwimbila Leza, awo bamwi basungwa bakali kubaswilizya.
26 And, suddenly, a great earthquake took place, —so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, and all the doors were [instantly] set open, and the bonds of all were unfastened.
Muchiindi chifwifwi kwakaba muzuzumo wanyika, ezi zyakazunganisya intolongo; mpawo imilyango yakajuka, alimwi imisungo yanketani yakanguunuka kuli umwi awumwi.
27 And, the prison-keeper, being wakened and seeing that the doors of the prison had been opened, drawing his sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to have fled.
Simulinda ntolongo wakasinsimuka akubona milyango yantolongo kayaseeme; wakabweza ipanga lyakwe (Ifulo) lyakwe akuyanda kulijaya, nkaambo wakayeeya kuti basungwa boonse bachija.
28 But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying—By no means, do thyself harm, for we are, one and all, here.
Pesi Pawulo wakatambwizya ajwi pati, wakati, “utalinyonyoni, nkambo toonse mputuli.”
29 And, asking for a light, he sprang in, and becoming, agitated, fell down unto Paul and Silas,
Simulinda ntolongo wakayasya malampi akunjila mukati, kateketa akuyowa, wakawidaansi kunembo lya Pawulo a Sayilasi.
30 and, leading them forth outside, said—Sirs! what must I be doing, that I may be saved?
Wakabeeta aanze akwamba kuti, “Nobapati, ndichite biyeni kuti ndifutulwe?”
31 And, they, said—Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou, and thy house.
Bakaamba kuti, “syoma kuMwami Jeso, ulafutulwa. iwebo ampuli yako.”
32 And they spake unto him the word of God, with all who were in his house.
Bakamwambila ijwi lya Mwami, antoomwe aboonse bempuli yakwe.
33 And, taking them with him, in that hour of the night, he bathed them from their stripes, and was immersed, he, and his, one and all, on the spot;
Awo simulinda ntolongo wakabweza boonse busiku oobo, wabasanzya zilonda, alimwi wakabbabbatizigwa aboonse bempuli yakwe mpawawo.
34 and, leading them up into his house, he set near a table, —and exulted, having, with all his house, believed in God.
Nakeeta Pawulo a Sayilasi munganda yakwe akubapa ichakulya, wakabotelwa kapati ampuli yakwe yoonse, nkambo wakali wasyoma kuli Leza.
35 And. when day came. the magistrates sent off the constables saying—Let those men go!
Nibwakacha, imubetesi wakatuma ijwi kuli basikulinda, wakati, “Amubaleke baalumi abo bayinke.”
36 And the prison-keeper reported the words unto Paul—The magistrates have sent, that ye be let go. Now, therefore, going forth, be taking your journey in peace.
Simulinda ntolongo wakambila Pawulo, wakati; imubetesi walayizya kuti ndimulekezye mwende nkokuti amuzwe lino, mweende mulumuuno.”
37 But, Paul, said unto them—Beating us, in public, uncondemned, men that are Romans, they thrust us into prison; —and, now, by stealth, are they thrusting us forth? Nay, verily! but let them come, themselves, and lead us out!
Pesi Pawulo wakabambila kuti; “Batuuma kunembo lyabantu kabatatubetekede, nikuba kuti tuzwa ku Looma - alimwi batubika muntolongo. Lino bayanda kutugwisya chakusisikizya na: Pepe. Aabaze mbabo bazotwaangunune.
38 And the constables reported unto the magistrates these words; and they were struck with fear, when they heard that they were, Romans;
Basimulinda ntolongo bakasisya majwi ayaa kubabetesi, nibakamvwa kuti Pawulo a Sayilasi mba Loma bakayoowa.
39 and came, and besought them, and, leading them out, went on to request them to depart from the city.
Bakasika ibabetesi akukkumbila lulekelelo kuliba Pawulo a Sayilasi akubagwisya aanze, akubakumbila kuti bazwe mudolopo eeli.
40 And so, coming forth from the prison, they went unto Lydia, and, seeing the brethren, they comforted them, and went forth.
Pawulo a Sayilasi bakazwa muntolongo akuya kunganda ya Lidiya. Aawo Pawulo a Sayilasi nibakabona babunyina, bakabasungwazya alimwi bakazwa mudolopo eeli.
