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, —
U Pauli vope akhincha khu Derbe nu Lystra; bakho alepo onkhongi uvealangagwa Timotheo, ale n-demi aveakholiwe nu vanine va Uyahudi alemwedekhi nu dadaye ale Mgiriki.
2 who was well-attested by the brethren in Lystra, and Iconium.
Avanu va Listra nu Ikonia vamwedikhe vononu.
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.
Pauli akhanogwa ukhuta elongonche neve, pwu akhantola nu khunkegeta ulwa khuva Wayahudi avale ukhwa vammanyile ukhuta udadaye Mgiriki.
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.
Vwuviluta vakhagenda mu miji nukhulagela mu- mipelela ukhwedekha indagelo incho inchasimbiwe na vasukhiwa na vavakha vakhju Yelusalemu.
5 The assemblies, therefore, were being confirmed in the faith, and increasing in number, every day.
Pwu imipelela gekhahangala mu lukungu na vedekhi vakhava vingi amanchuva goni.
6 And they passed through the Phrygian and Galatian country, being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;
Pauli nevanine vakhaluta khu Firigia na khu Galatia, ulwa khuva Umepo va Nguluve avabenchiche ukhulombelela elimenyu okhwa khu Asia.
7 but, coming along Mysia, they were attempting to journey into Bithynia, —and, the Spirit of Jesus, suffered them not;
Vwu valepakhifikha Misia, vakhagela ukhuluta khu Bithinia, pwu Umepo va Yiisu akhavabencha.
8 but, passing by Mysia, they came down unto Troas.
Pwu vakhalutanincha pa Misisa vakhincha pa Troa.
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!
U Pauli akhagogwa pakhelo, pale nu munu va Makedonia emile, alekhwelanga ukhuta, “Mwinchage mututange khu Makedonia”.
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.
Pauli vwu agogilwe, pwu tukhetesania ukhuluta khu Makedonia, akhalumanya ukhuta u-Nguluve atwelangile ukhuluta khulumbelela elimenyu.
11 Setting sail, therefore, from Troas, we ran straight into Samothracia, and, on the morrow, unto New City,
Pwu tukhahega khu Troa, tukhaluta khu Samothrake, ne elinchuva elekhongile tukhafikha khu Neapoli.
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;
Ukhohuma apo tukhaluta khu Filipi ugwale nnjini gwa Makedonia, gwale nnjini ugwa emelivwagwa nava Rumi pwu tukhatama amanchuva madebe.
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.
Elinchuva lya Sabato, tukhaluta khonji tukhagenda mu- ndogasi, pakho twasagile ukhuta piva pakhovombela ulwesayo. Twatamile pasi nu khunchova na vadala avainchile popaninie.
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.
Udala yomo aveaelangagwa Lidia, akonchega e zambarau, akhomile khu Tiatria, unyakhwisaya khwa Nguluve, atopalekhinche. Untwa akhadendula enumbula ya mwene akhavekhe amamenyu aganchovwagwa nu Pauli.
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.
Vwu onchiwe, umwene nu vunchenge vwa mwene, akhatudova ukhuta “nelemwedekhi khwa Ntwa, nikhovadova mwingele nu khutama khulyone”. Akhatovadova fincho.
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.
Vwu twilota pa khwesaya, ung'enja yomo oveale ni mepo indagwunchi akhagane nufwe. Agegile u munu va mwene uvukhavi mu - mbulagunchi.
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.
Udala ayo akhankonga uPauli paninie nufwe alekhuywega ukhuta “Ava gosi vavombi va Nguluve umbakha, vikhovavola umwe elimenyu lya vwupokhi”.
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.
Akhavomba evo amanchuva mingi, uPauli lya nkaliunche elyoavombaga, akhasyefukha nukhunchivola imepo, “Nikhoholagela khu litawa lya Yiisu ukhume khu dala ayo.” Imepo nchikhahuma nu khundekha udala.
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;
Avavakha va mwene vuvavwene ukhuta uvwutang'eli vwukhegile vakhavinata uPauli nu Sila nu khuluta navo khu sokhoni khuvene - avavakha va selekhali.
20 and, leading them forward unto the magistrates, said—These men, are exceedingly troubling our city, they, being Jews,
Vwu vafikhe navo khuvahegi, vakhata, “Avagosi ava Wayahudi vivomba amatata amavakhe pa nnjini gweto.
21 And are declaring customs, which it is not allowable for us either to accept or to observe, being Romans.
Vimanyisya imbombo nchicho sio lulagelololwa satwaopele khu Varumi.”
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;
Ululundamano lukhava khenyume nu Pauli nu Sila, avakhegi vakhadyefula emiendegya vene nu khuvafula vakopiwe, ni mbekhe.
23 and, laying upon them many stripes, they thrust them into prison, charging the prison-keeper, safely, to be keeping them:
Vwu vakopiwe ni mbekhe nyingi, vakhahelekhwa mu - khekongwa - nu kuvalagela avasikhali ukhuvalolela vononu.
24 who, a charge like this receiving, thrust them into the inner prison, and, their feet, made he fast in the stocks.
Vwu vapokhile ululagelo, avasikhali va nkekongwa akhevingenche mu - kheyumba ekhya gati, akhavakonga amahunde ga vene khuhwa avavekhile.
25 And, at midnight, Paul and Silas, being at prayer, began singing praise unto God; and the prisoners unto them, did hearken.
Emisekhe gya pakhelo pagati, uPauli nu Sila vakekwisaya nu khwimba inyemboincha khuginia uNguluve khunu avakhongwa avange vikhovapolehencha,
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.
Pwu khehahomela ekhesenyende ekhevakha ekhekhongwa, ne minyororo gya vakhongwa voni gekhasupuliwa.
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.
Ondoleli va khekongwa akhasisimukha ukhuhuma mu - tulo pwu akhavona emilyango gyoni egya khekongwa; gedenduliwe akhatola emundu ya mwene anogwaga ukhwebuda ulwa khuva asagile ukhuta avakhongwa voni vanyilile,
28 But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying—By no means, do thyself harm, for we are, one and all, here.
Pwu, uPauli akhaywega khu limenyu elivakha, akhata “usite ukhwelemanche ulwa khuva twe voni potole apa”.
29 And, asking for a light, he sprang in, and becoming, agitated, fell down unto Paul and Silas,
Ondoleli va khekongwa akhadova alumuli akhingela mu - khekongwa na mbeve, alekhutetema nu khudwada, akhafugama pa Pauli nu Sila,
30 and, leading them forth outside, said—Sirs! what must I be doing, that I may be saved?
akhavakhomia khunji akheta, “Vavakhanevombe khehi nekhave uwupokhi?”
31 And, they, said—Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou, and thy house.
Avene vakhambala ukhuta, “Mwedekhe Untwa uYiisu pwu vwikheva uvwupokhi nu vunchenge.”
32 And they spake unto him the word of God, with all who were in his house.
Vakhanchova elimenyu lya Ntwa khumwene, paninie na vanu voni avambunchenge vwa mwene,
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;
Ondoleli va khekongwa akhavatola ekhelo ela, akhavakhalafya mumwa valemile, omwene paninie navanu va mumbunchenge vwa mwene valihonchiwa.
34 and, leading them up into his house, he set near a table, —and exulted, having, with all his house, believed in God.
Akhavagega uPauli nu Sila mumbunchenge uvwa mwene nukhuvatelekhela ekhahulya. Pwu akhava lulokhovokho ulwakhe paninie navanu va mbunchenge vwa mwene ulwakhuva vamwedikhe uNguluve.
35 And. when day came. the magistrates sent off the constables saying—Let those men go!
Guvile gufikhe umusi, avakhegi vakhasuha avanu khu ndoleli vakhekongwa ukhuta, “Ovatavule avanu vala valotage”,
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.
Ondoleli va khekongwa akhambula uPauli amamenyu ago ukhuta, “Avakhegi vasukhile ukhuta mukhegage: mukhome khunji mulotage nulunon'chehencho.”
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!
Pwu Pauli akhavavola, “Vatotovile pa vuvalafu, avanu vavo Varumi khetatukhega nu khulamula ukhutukhonga mu khekongwa; leno vinogwa ukhutuhomia khuvutitu? Ate, satukhwedekha, vinche vavo vatokhomie apa”.
38 And the constables reported unto the magistrates these words; and they were struck with fear, when they heard that they were, Romans;
Avaloleli vakhavavola avakhegi amamenyu gala, avakhegi vakhadwada vavile valumanyile ukhuta uPauli nu Sila vale Varumi.
39 and came, and besought them, and, leading them out, went on to request them to depart from the city.
Avakhagi vakhinche khuhovadova vakhome vwu vavakhominche khunji khukhekongwa vakhadova uPauli nu Sila vakhome khunji ya khelunga khavo.
40 And so, coming forth from the prison, they went unto Lydia, and, seeing the brethren, they comforted them, and went forth.
Pwu uPauli nu Sila vakhahuma khunji uhukhekongwa vakhinja mu mbunchenge uvwa Lidia. Pauli nu Sila vovavavwene avalokholo vakhavapa amakha mu numbula nu khuhega mu khelonga ekhyo.
