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, —
Hinu akahika ku Delibe na ku Lusitila, kweatamayi muwuliwa mmonga liina laki Timoti. Nyina waki mewawa avi msadika Myawudi, nambu dadi waki avi Mgiliki.
2 who was well-attested by the brethren in Lystra, and Iconium.
Timoti alumbiwi bwina na vamsadika va ku Lusitila na ku Ikonio.
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 aganili kulongosana na Timoti mulugendu, hinu akamdumula jandu. Akitili chenicho ndava Vayawudi voha vevatamayi pandi zila, vamanyili kuvya dadi wa Timoti avi Mgiliki.
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.
Pavavi mulugendu lwa mumiji vavajovela vandu malagizu ga vamitumi vala na vagogo vala va ku Yelusalemu, vakavajovela vagalanda.
5 The assemblies, therefore, were being confirmed in the faith, and increasing in number, every day.
Hinu msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika kilisitu vakangamala muusadika, ndi vakayonjokeseka kila ligono.
6 And they passed through the Phrygian and Galatian country, being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;
Vakapitila mumiji ya Flugia na Galatia muni Mpungu Msopi nakuvayidakila kukokosa ujumbi wula ku Asia.
7 but, coming along Mysia, they were attempting to journey into Bithynia, —and, the Spirit of Jesus, suffered them not;
Pavahikili mumibaka ya Musia, valingili kuyingila mulima wa Bisunia. Nambu Mpungu wa Yesu nakuvayidakila.
8 but, passing by Mysia, they came down unto Troas.
Hinu vapitili ku Musia na kuhamba lumonga ku Tloa.
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!
Lukumbi lwa kilu, Pauli akalota maono amuwene mundu mmonga wa ku Makedonia ayimili balapala na kumuyupa, “Kupuka ubwela ku Makedonia utitangatila.”
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 peagawene maono gala, bahapo tajitendelekili kukupuka kuhamba Makedonia muni tamanyili chakaka Chapanga atikemili tihamba kuvakokosela Lilovi la Bwina kwenuko.
11 Setting sail, therefore, from Troas, we ran straight into Samothracia, and, on the morrow, unto New City,
Tagendili muwatu kuhuma ku Tloa mbaka Samotilake, na chilau yaki tahikili 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;
Kuhuma kwenuko tikahamba ku Filipi muji mmonga pamulima wa Makedonia, Likoloni la Valumi. Ndi tatamili muji wenuwo mulukumbi lwa magono.
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.
Ligono la Kupumulila tahumuli kuvala ya muji, na kuhamba pamuhana ya mfuleni pandu petahololela pakuyupila Chapanga. Ndi tikatama na kulongela na vadala vevakonganiki penapo.
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.
Mmonga wa vadala vevatiyuwanila vala, avi mdala mmonga msadika liina laki Lidia, mkolonjinji wa Tuatila, mweigula na kugulisa nyula za mashonga gamahele. Bambu amdindwili mtima waki hati akagalanda malovi gala geajova 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.
Mdala yula pamonga na vandu va munyumba yaki pevamali kubatiziwa, akatigongolela, “Ngati chakaka myidakili kuvya nene namsadika wa Bambu, mbwela kutama kunyumba yangu.” Akakangamala kutijovela tihamba.
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.
Ligono limonga patakavi mukuhamba pandu pa kumuyupa Chapanga, takonganiki na msikana mmonga mvanda mweavi na mzuka wa kulondola. Mdala mwenuyo avapela mashonga gamahele vandu vana vindu vyamahele ndava ulondola waki.
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.
Msikana yula akatilanda Pauli na tete, ijova kwa lwami luvaha, “Vandu ava ndi vatumisi va Chapanga Mkulu! Vakuvadandaulila njila ya kusanguka!”
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.
Akitili chenicho kwa magono gamahele mbaka ligono limonga Pauli akayoma, akamng'anamukila na kuujovela mzuka wula, “Muuhotola wa Yesu Kilisitu nikulagiza muwuka mundu uyu!” Bahapo mzuka wula ukamuwuka.
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;
Vakulu va mvanda yula pavawene mpangu wavi wa kupata mashonga kuhuma kwa mvanda wavi umaliki, vakavakamula Pauli na Sila na kuvakwekesa pandu pakugulisila vindu, palongolo ya vakulu va muji.
20 and, leading them forward unto the magistrates, said—These men, are exceedingly troubling our city, they, being Jews,
Vakavatakila kwa vahamula mihalu va Loma na kujova, “Vandu ava vileta chitututu pamuji witu navene ndi Vayawudi.
21 And are declaring customs, which it is not allowable for us either to accept or to observe, being Romans.
Viwula mivelu yeyibesiwi kwa tete vandu va ku Loma kuyidakila na kuyilanda.”
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;
Na msambi wa vandu wewavi penapo ukavatova Pauli na Sila. Kangi vahamula mihalu vala vakavapapula nyula za Pauli na Sila, vakahamula vatovewayi ndonga.
23 and, laying upon them many stripes, they thrust them into prison, charging the prison-keeper, safely, to be keeping them:
Pevamali kuvatova neju, vakavasopa muchifungu na linjolinjoli wa jela alagaziwi kuvya mihu muulonda.
24 who, a charge like this receiving, thrust them into the inner prison, and, their feet, made he fast in the stocks.
Ndava ya malagizu genago, linjolinjoli wa jela akavasopa muchumba cha mugati neju na kuvakunga magendelu gavi muhibiki.
25 And, at midnight, Paul and Silas, being at prayer, began singing praise unto God; and the prisoners unto them, did hearken.
Peyahikili pagati ya kilu Pauli na Sila vamuyupayi na kumuyimbila nyimbu za kumulumbalila Chapanga, kuni vafungwa vayavi vakuvayuwanila.
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.
Chigafula mndendemo mvaha wa ndima ukahumila, wewanyugwisi mikingisa ya jela. Bahapo milyangu hikadinduka na minyololo yevakungiwi vafungwa yikawopoka.
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.
Linjolinjoli wa jela peayumwiki na kulola milyangu ya jela gavi mbee, akatola upanga na kugana kujikoma, ndava aholalili kuvya vafungwa voha vatilili.
28 But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying—By no means, do thyself harm, for we are, one and all, here.
Nambu Pauli akakemela kwa lwami luvaha, “Ukoto kujikoma wamwene, muni tee tavoha takona tivii!”
29 And, asking for a light, he sprang in, and becoming, agitated, fell down unto Paul and Silas,
Linjolinjoli yula peamali kuyupa hahi, akajumbalila mugati akajigwisa pahi pa magendelu ga Pauli na Sila kuni ivagaya kwa wogohi.
30 and, leading them forth outside, said—Sirs! what must I be doing, that I may be saved?
Kangi akavalongosa mbaka kuvala, akavakota, “Mwavakulu vangu, nikita kyani nihotola kusanguka?”
31 And, they, said—Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou, and thy house.
Vene vakamyangula, “Umsadika Bambu Yesu ndi veve pamonga na vandu va munyumba yaku yati mwisanguliwa.”
32 And they spake unto him the word of God, with all who were in his house.
Hinu vakamkokosela Lilovi la Bambu mwene pamonga na vandu va munyumba yaki.
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;
Lukumbi lulolo lwa kilu, linjolinjoli wa jela yula akavatola na kuvasambisa mavamba gavi, kangi mwene na vandu va munyumba yaki vabatiziwi bahapo.
34 and, leading them up into his house, he set near a table, —and exulted, having, with all his house, believed in God.
Kangi akavagongolela Pauli na Sila kunyumba yaki, kuvapela chakulya. Mwene pamonga na vandu va munyumba yaki vakavya na luheku neju ndava hinu vakumsadika Chapanga.
35 And. when day came. the magistrates sent off the constables saying—Let those men go!
Chilau yaki lukela, vahamula mihalu va Chiloma vavatumili vakulu va manjolinjoli na malagizu aga, “Muvadindulila vandu vala.”
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.
Linjolinjoli wa jela akamjovela Pauli, “Vahamula mihalu va Loma vatumili na ujumbi uwu kwa veve na Sila mudinduliwayi. Hinu mwihotola kuhuma na muhamba na uteke.”
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!
Nambu Pauli akamyangula, “Gavi wuli? Tahokili lepi vatitovili ndonga pavandu kuni tavete tavakolonjinji wa ku Loma. Kangi vatisopili muchifungu na hinu vigana kutidindulila cha mfiyu! Hati padebe! Yikuvagana vene vahamula mihalu ndi vabwela kutidindulila.”
38 And the constables reported unto the magistrates these words; and they were struck with fear, when they heard that they were, Romans;
Vakulu va manjolinjoli vakavadandaulila lijambu lila vahamula mihalu, hinu vene pevayuwini kuvya Pauli na Sila vavi vakolonjinji va mulima wa ku Loma vayogwipi.
39 and came, and besought them, and, leading them out, went on to request them to depart from the city.
Ndi vakahamba na kujova, “Chondi mpepayi,” Na pavavahumisi mugati, vakavayupa vawuka pamuji wula.
40 And so, coming forth from the prison, they went unto Lydia, and, seeing the brethren, they comforted them, and went forth.
Pauli na Sila pavahumili muchifungu vakahamba kunyumba ya Lidia, kwenuko vakakonganeka na vamsadika. Pevamali kuvakangamalisa mitima vakawuka.
