Acts 9
1 But, Saul, yet breathing threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, going unto the High-priest,
Pesii, Sawulo mbwalikwambula ziyoosyo akujaya basikwiiya baMwami,
2 asked from him letters for Damascus, unto the synagogues; to the end that, if he should find, any, who were of The Way, whether men or women, he might bring them, bound, unto Jerusalem.
wakiinka kubapaizi bapati alimwi kuyokumbila magwalo amuzumizya kuya kuzikombelo zyabajuda zyaku Damasiko, kucitila kuti naswaana bazumini naba mwaalumi naba mwanakazi, akabange akubatola ku Jelusalema.
3 But, as he was journeying, it came to pass that he was drawing near unto Damascus, and, suddenly, there flashed around him a light out of heaven;
Nakacili kuyabwinka, nakasika afwifwi a Damasiko, mpawompawo kwakaboneka mumuni konse konse uzwa kujulu;
4 And, falling unto the earth, he heard a voice saying unto him—Saul! Saul! why, me, art thou persecuting?
alimwi wakawida aansi alimwi wakangwa ijwi lyakamwambila kuti, “Sawulo, Sawulo, undipenzenzyanazi me?”
5 And he said—Who art thou, Lord? And, he, [said] —I, am Jesus, whom, thou, art persecuting!
Sawulo wakasandula, “Nduweni, Mwami?” Mwami wakati, “Ndime Jesu ngolikupenzya;
6 But rise up, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
pesi buka, unjile mucisi, uyowambilwa zyakuchita,”
7 But, the men who were accompanying him, stood speechless, —hearing, indeed, the voice, but beholding no one.
Baalumi bakalikweenda a Sawulo bakayowa bakagamba, kumvwa ijwi, Asi kabatabwene muntu.
8 And Saul arose from the earth, and, his eyes being opened, he could see nothing; and, taking him by the hand, they led him into Damascus, —
Sawulo wakabuka kuzwa ansi, alimwi nakajula meso akwe, takwe nchakabona; mpawo bakamujata kuboko bamuzulwida akwinka awe ku Damasiko.
9 And he was three days without seeing, and did neither eat nor drink.
Kwamazuba otatwe takalikubona pe, nekuba kulya naanka kunywa.
10 Now there was a certain disciple in Damascus, by name Ananias; and, the Lord, said unto him in a vision—Ananias! And, he, said—Lo! I, [am here], Lord!
Kwakaliko sikwiiya ku Damasiko walikutegwa Ananiyasi. Mwami wakamwambila mucilengano, “Ananiyasi.” Wakavuwa, “Bona, ndilano, Mwami.” Mwami wakati kulinguwe,
11 And the Lord [said] unto him—Rise! go into the street which is called Straight, and seek, in the house of Judas, one Saul, by name, of Tarsus. For lo! he is praying, —
“Buka, uyinke kunzila iitegwa Sitileti, kung'anda ya Judasi ukabuzye muntu utegwa Sawulo waku Tasasi nkambo ulakomba.
12 And hath seen a man [in a vision], Ananias by name, coming in and laying on him his hands, to the intent he should see.
Wabona muchilengano mwalumi utegwa Ananiya ulanjila akubika maanza kuti abone alimwi.”
13 And Ananias, answered—Lord! I have heard from many concerning this man, how many evil things unto thy saints he hath done in Jerusalem;
Asi Ananiyasi wakasandula kuti, “Mwami ndakamvwa biingi loko amuntu oyu, abubi mbwakachitila basalali bako baku Jelusalemu.
14 And, here, he hath authority from the High-priests to bind all them that call upon thy name.
Ulijisi bwami mbwakapegwa kubapayizi bapati bwakwaanga boonse abakomba kuzina lyako.”
15 But the Lord said unto him—Be going thy way; for, a choice vessel unto me, is this man, to bear my name before both [the] nations and kings, and the sons of Israel;
Asi Mwami wakati kulinguwe, “Yinka, nkambo ndamusala kuba chibelesyo changu; akubana ba Izilayeli;
16 For, I, will let him understand how many things he must needs, for my name, suffer.
Nkabela ndiyomutondezya zyiingi-zyiingi nzyayeelede kuyopengela zina lyangu.
17 And Ananias departed, and entered into the house; and, laying upon him his hands, said—Saul, brother! The Lord, hath sent me, —Jesus, who appeared unto thee in the way by which thou wast coming, —that thou mayest recover sight, and be filled with Holy Spirit.
Nkabela Ananiyasi wakiinka, wakunjila munganda. Wamubika maboko wati, “Sawulo mukwesu, Mwami Jesu, wakalibonya kulinduwe munzila njwakazeyo, wandituma kuti ubone alimwi uzule muuya Uusalala.”
18 And, straightway, there fell from him—from his eyes, —as it were scales; he recovered sight also, and, arising, was immersed:
Mpawo kwakazwa kumeso akwe aabanga mapapa, wabona; wakabuka akubbizigwa;
19 And, receiving food, gained strength. And he came to be with the disciples who were in Damascus certain days;
alimwi akulya wajana nguzu. Ino wakakkala mazuba amwi abasikwiiya bamu Damasiko kwamazuba.
20 And, straightway, in the synagogues, he began proclaiming Jesus, that, This, is the Son of God.
Ndilyo wakakambauka muzikombelo zyaba Juda, kuti Jesu mwana wa-Leza.
21 And all who were hearing were astonished, and began to say—is not, this, he who destroyed, in Jerusalem, them that invoke this name; and, here, for this purpose, had come, in order that he might lead them, bound, unto the High-priests?
Boonse bakamuswilila bakagamba akwamba kuti, “Tensi nguwe wakajaya mu Jelusalema basikukomba muzina eli? Akokuno wazida kubatola kabangidwe kubapayizi bapati.”
22 But, Saul, was the more gaining power; and was confounding the Jews who dwelt in Damascus, shewing, by comparison, that—This, is the Christ.
Asi Sawulo wakali kuya bukomena munguzu, wakabayinda kunguzu akuleta lupyopyongano kuba Juda bakakkede mu Damasiko kusinizya kuti Jesu ngu Kkilisito.
23 Now, when a considerable number of days were being fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him;
Nakamana mazuba mingingi, ba Juda bakakanza kumujaya.
24 But their plot was made known unto Saul, —and they were even narrowly watching the gates, both day and night, that they might kill him;
Pesi Sawulo wakaziba kukanza kwabo. Bakalikulindila milyango sikati amansiku kuti kuti bamujaye.
25 But the disciples, taking him by night, through the wall, let him down, lowering him in a basket.
Pesi basikwiiya bakwe bakamutola mansiku akumuselusya abulambo muchisuwo.
26 And, when he had arrived in Jerusalem, he made attempts to join himself unto the disciples; and all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
Lino Sawulo nakasika ku Jelusalema, wakayezya kuswanana abasikwiiya, pesi bakamuyoowa boonse, tebakali kusyoma ngusikwiiya.
27 But, Barnabas, taking him, brought him unto the apostles, and related unto them, —how, in the way, he had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken unto him; and how, in Damascus, he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus.
Pesi Bbanabbasi wakamubweza wamutola kubaapositolo, waba lungulwida Sawulo mbakabona Mwami munzila akuti wakambula awe, ambwakali achaamba chakukkambawuka mu Damasiko muzina lya-Jesu.
28 And he was with them, coming in and going out in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord;
Elyo wakakuya buzelengana abo, mukati aanze a Jelusalema. Wakambawuka echamba muzina lya Mwami Jesu,
29 And was both speaking and discussing with the Grecian Jews, —but, they, were setting to work to kill him.
alimwi wakambula akukazyania abama Juda; pesi abalabo bakasoleka kumujaya.
30 And the brethren, discovering it, brought him down into Caesarea, and sent him away unto Tarsus.
Elyo nebakamvwa obo babunyiina, bakamutola kuli Sizaliya akumutuma ku Tasasi.
31 So then, the assembly throughout the whole of Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, had peace, building itself up, and going on its way in the fear of the Lord; and, by the advocacy of the Holy Spirit, was being multiplied.
Nkabela, ino mbungano yamu Judiya moonse, amu Galilaya, amu Samaliya yakaba aluumuno akuyakwa; akwenda chakuyowa Leza akutobela mumuuya Uusalala, mbungano yakayungizizigwa.
32 And it came to pass that, Peter, going through all [quarters] went down unto the saints also dwelling in Lydda.
Mukuya kwechiindi, Pita nakayenda kumasena oonse, wakasika alimwi kubasalali baLeza bakakkede mu Lida.
33 And he found there a certain man, by name Aeneas, who, for eight years, had been lying prostrate upon a bed, for he was paralysed.
Oko wakakujana mwalumi utegwa Eniyasi, wakalede aabulo bwakwe kwaminyaka ilimusanu ayitatu, kalebukide mubili.
34 And Peter said unto him—Aeneas! Jesus Christ healeth thee! Arise, and smooth thy bed for thyself. And, straightway, he arose.
Pita wakamwambila kuti, “Eniyasi, Jesu Kkilisito wakuponia. Buka uyalule bulo bwako,” ndilyo wakabuka.
35 And all who dwelt in Lydda and Saron, saw him, —and, they, turned unto the Lord.
Nkabela bakamubona boonse abakkede mu Lida amu Shaloni, bakasandukila ku Mwami.
36 Now, in Joppa, there was a certain female disciple, by name Tabitha, which, being translated, means Dorcas [a Gazelle]. The same, was full of good works and alms which she was doing.
Ino mu Jopa kwakaliwo sikwiiya walikutegwa Tabita nkokuti “Dolika.” Oyo mwanakazi wakalizwide milimo mibotu ayaluzyalo ndwakali kuchitila bafwaba.
37 And it came to pass in those days, that she, sickening, died; and, bathing her, they laid her in an upper room.
Kumazubayo wakachiswa akufwa; Nebakamusanzya, bakamuka munganda yamujulu.
38 Now, Lydda being nigh unto Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was therein, sent off two men unto him, beseeching him—Do not delay to come through unto us!
Lino mbokuli kufwifwi ku Lida kuyaku Jopa, alimwi basikwiiya nobakamvwa kuti Pita wakaliko, bakamutumina baalumi bobile kuyomukombelezya kuti, “utachedwi kusika kulindiswe.”
39 And Peter, arising, went with them, —whom, when he arrived, they brought up into the upper room; and there stood by him all the widows, weeping, and showing the tunics and mantles—whatsoever things Dorcas was making while she was with them.
Pita wakanyampuka wakinka ambaaabo. Nkasika, bakamutola kunganda yamujulu, boonse bamukabafu bakayima kubbazu lyakwe akulila, akumutondezya zibaki ezyakusuma nzyakali kusuma Dolika nakachili abo.
40 But Peter, putting them all outside, knelt down and prayed; and, turning towards the body, said—Tabitha, arise! And she, opening her eyes and seeing Peter, sat up.
Pita wakabatandila anze boonse, wakasandukila kumutunta, wakati; “Tabita, buka.” Mpawo wakajula meso akwe, akubona Pita wakakkala.
41 And, giving her his hand, he raised her up; and, calling the saints and the widows, presented her, living.
Pita wakamupeda janza akumwimika; nakaayita basalali abamukabafu, wakamubikka kalimuumi kunembo lyabo.
42 And it became known throughout the whole of Joppa, and many believed upon the Lord.
Ezi zyakamvwigwa moonse mu Jopa, lino bantu bingi loko bakasyoma ku Mwami.
43 And it came to pass that, for a considerable number of days, he abode in Joppa, with one Simon, a tanner.
Lino Pita wakakkala mu Jopa mazuba miingi loko kuli Sayimoni musuki wazikumba.
