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, —
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 who was well-attested by the brethren in Lystra, and Iconium.
Bandu ba Listra na Ikonio batimshuhudia vizuri.
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.
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 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.
Pabayenda bapetya katika miji na kutoa maagizo kwa makanisa ili kugatii maagizo ayo yaandikilwe na mitume na apindo kolyo Yerusalemu.
5 The assemblies, therefore, were being confirmed in the faith, and increasing in number, every day.
Nga nyo makanisa yatiimarishwa katika imani na baamini bationgezeka kwa idadi kila lisoba.
6 And they passed through the Phrygian and Galatian country, being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;
Paulo na mwenzake batiyenda Firigia na Galatia, mana Roho wa Nnongo atibakanikia kuhubiri neno kolyo katika jimbo lya Asia.
7 but, coming along Mysia, they were attempting to journey into Bithynia, —and, the Spirit of Jesus, suffered them not;
Pabakaribia Misia, batijaribu yenda Bithinia, lakini Roho wa Yesu atibakanikia.
8 but, passing by Mysia, they came down unto Troas.
Kwa eyo bapeta Misia baisa mpaka Mji wa 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!
Maono gatimtokya Paulo kilo, pabile na mundu ba Makedonia ayemi, akimkema no baya, “Muise mtusaidie huku 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.
Paulo paabweni maono mara twatijiandaa kuyenda, Makedonia, atangite panga Nnongo atukemle kuyenda kubahubiria injili.
11 Setting sail, therefore, from Troas, we ran straight into Samothracia, and, on the morrow, unto New City,
Nga nyoo tubokite boka Troa, kuyenda moja kwa moja Samothrake, na lisoba lyanyaibele tuikite mji wa 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;
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 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.
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, 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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, 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.
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, 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.
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, 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;
Angwana bake pabamweni ya kuwa litumaini lya faida yabe latibutuka, batimkamwa Paulo na Sila na kubaburuza kulisoko nnongi yababile na mamlaka.
20 and, leading them forward unto the magistrates, said—These men, are exceedingly troubling our city, they, being Jews,
pabaikilwe kwa mahakimu, babaya, “Aba alalome ni Ayahudi na batipanga ghasia ngolo katika mji witu.
21 And are declaring customs, which it is not allowable for us either to accept or 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, rending off them their mantles, were giving orders to beat them with rods;
Kipenga chatiinuka nchogo ya Paulo na Sila, mahakimu batirarua ngobo zao na kubavua na kubaamuru babakombwe bakora.
23 and, laying upon them many stripes, they thrust them into prison, charging the prison-keeper, safely, to be keeping them:
Baada ya kubakombwa bakora zanyansima batibatupa muligereza na kumuamuru askari ba ligereza kubalinda vyema.
24 who, a charge like this receiving, thrust them into the inner prison, and, their feet, made he 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, being at prayer, began singing praise unto God; and the prisoners unto them, did hearken.
Muda wa kilo ya manane, Paulo na Sila babile batiloba na kuimba nyimbo za kunsifu Nnongo, huku afungwa benge bakibasikiliza.
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.
Ghafa patitokya lilendemo kolo na misingi ya ligereza yatitikisika, nnango wa ligereza watifunguka, na minyororo ya bafungwa bote yatilegezwa.
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.
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 called out with a loud voice, saying—By no means, do thyself harm, for we are, one and all, here.
Lakini, Paulo kakombwa ndoti kwa lilobe likolo, kabaya “Kana ujidhuru kwa mana twabote tubile mahali pano.”
29 And, asking for a light, he sprang in, and becoming, agitated, fell down unto 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, leading them forth outside, said—Sirs! what must I be doing, that I may be saved?
na kubatoa panja ya ligereza nobaya, “Waheshimiwa, nipange namani ili nipate kuokoka?”
31 And, they, said—Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou, and thy house.
Na bembe bammakiya, “Muamini Ngwana Yesu niwenga walowa kuokkoka pamope na nyumba yako.”
32 And they spake unto him the word of God, with all who were in his house.
Batilongela neno lya Ngwana kwake, pamope na bandu bote ba nyumba yake,
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;
Mlinzi wa ligereza atibatola kilo yelo na kuwaosha sehemu baumile, ywembe pamope na bandu ba munyumba yake batibatiza mara.
34 and, leading them up into his house, he set near a table, —and exulted, having, with all his house, believed in God.
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 day came. the magistrates sent off the constables saying—Let those men go!
Paiikite mutwekati, mahakimu batituma ujumbe kwa yolo mlinzi ba ligereza bakibaya, “Baruhusu balo bandu bayende,”
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.
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—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!
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 constables reported unto the magistrates these words; and they were struck with fear, 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 came, and besought them, and, leading them out, went on to request them to depart from the city.
Mahakimu baisile na kuwasihi baboke, na batibatoa panja ya ligereza, batibaloba Paulo na Sila batoke panja ya mji wabembe.
40 And so, coming forth from the prison, they went unto Lydia, and, seeing the brethren, they comforted them, and went forth.
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.
