Acts 9
1 And Saul yet brethynge oute threatnynges and slaughter agaynst ye disciples of the lorde went vnto ye hye preste
Lakini Sauli, aliendelea kusema vitisho hata vya kifo kwa wanafunzi wa Bwana, alikwenda kwa kuhani mkuu
2 and desyred of him letters to Damasco to ye synagoges: that yf he founde eny of this waye whether they were men or wemen he myght bringe them bounde vnto Ierusalem.
na kumwomba barua kwa ajili ya masinagogi huko Dameski, ili kwamba akimpata mtu aliye katika Njia ile, awe mwanaume au mwanamke, awafunge na kuwaleta Yerusalemu.
3 But as he went on his iorney it fortuned yt he drue nye to Damasco and sodenly ther shyned rounde about him a lyght fro heven.
Hata alipokuwa akisafiri, ilitokea kwamba alipokaribia Dameski, ghafla ikamwangaza kotekote nuru kutoka mbinguni,'
4 And he fell to ye erth and hearde a voyce sayinge to him: Saul Saul why persecutest thou me?
naye akaanguka chini na akasikia sauti ikimwambia,”Sauli, Sauli, mbona wanitesa mimi?”
5 And he sayde what arte thou lorde? And the lorde sayd I am Iesus whom thou persecutest it shalbe harde for ye to kycke agaynst ye pricke.
Sauli akajibu, U nani wewe Bwana? Bwana akasema, “Mimi ndiye Yesu unayeniudhi;
6 And he bothe tremblynge and astonyed sayde: Lorde what wilt thou have me to do? And ye Lorde sayde vnto him: aryse and goo into the cite and it shalbe tolde the what thou shalt do.
Lakini inuka, ingia mjini, nawe utaambiwa yakupasayo kutenda
7 The men which iornayed with him stode amased for they herde a voyce but sawe no man.
Wale watu waliosafiri pamoja na Sauli wakatulia kimya, wakisikiliza sauti, wasione mtu.
8 And Saul arose from the erth and opened his eyes but sawe no man. Then ledde they him by the honde and brought him into Damasco.
Sauli akainuka katika nchi na alipofungua macho yake, hakuweza kuona kitu, wakamshika mkono wakamleta mpaka Dameski.
9 And he was. iii. dayes with out syght and nether ate nor dranke.
Kwa siku tatu haoni, hali, wala hanywi.
10 And ther was a certayne disciple at Damasco named Ananias and to him sayde the lorde in a vision: Ananias. And the he sayde: beholde I am here lorde.
Basi palikuwapo mwanafunzi Dameski jina lake Anania, Bwana alisema naye katika maono, “Anania.” Na akasema, “Tazama, nipo hapa, Bwana.
11 And the lorde sayde to him: aryse and goo into the strete which is called strayght and seke in the housse of Iudas after one called Saul of Tharsus. For beholde he prayeth
“Bwana akamwambia, “Inuka uenda zako katika mtaa uitwao Nyofu, na katika nyumba ya Yuda na ukaulize mtu kutoka Tarso aitwaye Sauli; maana angali anaomba;
12 and hath sene in a vision a man named Ananias comynge in to him and puttynge his hondes on him that he myght receave his syght.
na alimwona katika maono mtu jina lake Anania akiingia na kumwekea mikono juu yake ili kwamba apate kuona.
13 Then Ananias answered: Lorde I have hearde by many of this man how moche evell he hath done to thy sainctes at Ierusalem
Lakini Anania akajibu, “Bwana, nimesikia habari za mtu huyu kwa watu wengi, kwa kiasi gani alivyowatendea mabaya watakatifu wa huko Yerusalemu;
14 and here he hath auctorite of the hye prestes to bynde all that call on thy name.
Hapa ana mamlaka kutoka kwa kuhani mkuu kumkamata kila mmoja anayeliitia jina lako.
15 The lorde sayde vnto him: Goo thy wayes: for he is a chosen vessell vnto me to beare my name before the gentyls and kynges and the chyldren of Israel.
Lakini Bwana akamwambia, “Nenda, kwa maana yeye ni chombo teule kwangu, alichukue jina langu mbele ya Mataifa na wafalme na wana wa Israeli.
16 For I will shewe him how great thinges he must suffre for my names sake.
Maana nitawaonesha yalivyo mengi yatakayompasa kuteswa kwa ajili ya jina langu”.
17 Ananias went his waye and entryd into ye housse and put his hondes on him and sayde: brother Saul the lorde that apperyd vnto the in the waye as thou camst hath sent me that thou myghtest receave thy syght and be filled with the holy goost.
Anania akaenda, akaingia mle nyumbani; Akamwekea mikono akasema, Ndugu Sauli, Bwana Yesu, aliyekutokea katika njia ulipokuwa unakuja, amenituma upate kuona tena na ujazwe Roho Mtakatifu.
18 And immediatly ther fell from his eyes as it had bene scales and he receaved syght and arose and was baptised
Ghafla vikaanguka machoni pake vitu kama magamba, akapata kuona, akasimama, akabatizwa; akala chakula na kupata nguvu.
19 and receaved meate and was comforted. Then was Saul a certayne daye wt the disciples which were at Damasco.
Akakaa pamoja na wanafunzi huko Dameski kwa siku nyingi.
20 And streyght waye he preached Christ in the synagoges how that he was the sonne of God.
Wakati huo huo akamtangaza Yesu katika masinagogi, akisema kwamba yeye ni Mwana wa Mungu.
21 All that hearde him were amased and sayde: is not this he that spoyled the which called on this name in Ierusalem and came hyther for ye entent that he shuld bringe the bounde vnto the hye prestes?
Na wote waliosikia walishangaa na kusema, “Siyo mtu huyu aliyewaharibu wote walioita Jina hili huko Yerusalemu? Na hapa alikuja kwa kusudi la kuwafunga na kuwapeleka kwa makuhani.”
22 But Saul encreased in stregth and confounded the Iewes which dwelte at Damasco affirminge that this was very Christ.
Lakini Sauli aliwezeshwa kuhubiri na kuwafanya Wayahudi waliokaa Dameski wachanganyikiwe na kuthibitisha ya kuwa huyu ndiye Kristo.
23 And after a good whyle ye Iewes toke counsell to gether to kyll him.
Baada ya siku nyingi, Wayahudi wakafanya shauri pamoja ili wamuue.
24 But their layinge awayte was knowen of Saul. And they watched at the gates daye and nyght to kyll him.
Lakini mpango wao ukajulikana na Sauli. Wakamvizia mlangoni mchana na usiku wapate kumuua.
25 Then ye disciples toke him by night and put him thorow the wall and let him doune in a basket.
Lakini wanafunzi wake wakamchukua usiku wakamshusha kupitia ukutani, wakamtelemsha chini katika kapu.
26 And when Saul was come to Ierusalem he assayde to cople him silfe with ye discyples and they were all afrayde of hym and beleued not that he was a disciple.
Na Sauli alipofika Yerusalemu, alijaribu kujiunga na wanafunzi lakini walikuwa wakimuogopa, wasisadiki kuwa yeye ni mwanafunzi.
27 But Bernabas toke hym and brought hym to ye apostles and declared to the how he had sene ye Lorde in ye waye and had spoke wyth hym: and how he had done boldely at damasco in the name of Iesu.
Lakini Barnaba akamchukua na kumpeleka kwa mitume, Na akawaeleza jinsi Sauli alivyomuona Bwana njiani na Bwana alivyosema nae, na jinsi Sauli alivyohubiri kwa ujasiri kwa jina la Yesu huko Dameski.
28 And he had his conuersacion with them at Ierusalem
Alikutana nao walipoingia na kutoka Yerusalemu. Akanena kwa ujasiri kwa jina la Bwana Yesu,
29 and quit hym silfe boldly in the name of the lorde Iesu. And he spake and disputed wyth the grekes: and they went aboute to slee hym.
akihojiana na Wayahudi wa Kiyunani lakini wakijaribu mara kwa mara kumuua.
30 But when the brethren knew of that they brought hym to cesarea and sent hym forth to Tharsus.
Wakati ndugu walipojua jambo hilo, wakamchukua mpaka Kaisaria, na wampeleke aende Tarso.
31 Then had ye congregacios rest thorowoute all Iewry and galile and Samary and were edified and walked in the feare of the lorde and multiplied by the comforte of the holy gost.
Basi kanisa lote katika Uyahudi, Galilaya na Samaria, lilikuwa na amani, na likajengwa, na kutembea katika hofu ya Bwana na faraja ya Roho Mtakatifu, kanisa likakua kwa kuongezeka idadi.
32 And it chaunsed yt as Peter walked throughoute all quarters he ca to ye saynctes which dwelt at Lydda
Kisha ilitokea Petro alipokuwa akizungukazunguka pande zote za mkoa, akawateremkia waumini waishio katika mji wa Lida.
33 and there he foude a certayne ma namyd Eneas whych had kepte hys bed viii. yere sicke of the palsie.
Akamuona huko mtu mmoja jina lake Ainea, mtu huyo amekuwa kitandani miaka minane; maana alikuwa amepooza.
34 Then sayde Peter vnto hym: Eneas Iesus Christ make ye whole. Aryse and make thy beed. And he arose immedyatly.
Petro akamwambia, “Ainea, Yesu Kristo akuponye; Amka na ujitandikia kitanda chako,” Mara akaamka.
35 And all that dwelt at lydda and assaron sawe hym and tourned to the lorde.
Na watu wote waliokaa Lida na Sharoni walipomuona mtu huyo, walimgeukia Bwana.
36 Ther was at Ioppe a certayne woma (whiche was a disciple named Tabitha which by interpretacion is called dorcas) the same was full of good workes and almes dedes which she did.
Palikuwa na mwanafunzi Yafa aitwaye Tabitha, ambalo lilitafsiriwa kama “Dorcas” Huyu mwanamke alijaa kazi njema na matendo ya rehema aliyoyafanya kwa maskini.
37 And it chaunsed in those dayes that she was sicke and dyed. When they had wesshed her and layd her in a chamber:
Ilitokea katika siku hizo aliugua na akafa; walipomsafisha, walimpandisha chumba cha juu na kumlaza.
38 Because Lydda was nye to Ioppa and the disciples had hearde that Peter was there they sent vnto hym desyrynge him that he wolde not be greved to come vnto them.
Kwa vile Lida ilikuwa karibu na Yafa, na wanafunzi walisikia kwamba Petro alikuwa huko, waliwatuma watu wawili kwake, wakimsihi, “Njoo kwetu bila kuchelewa”.
39 Peter arose and came with them and when he was come they brought him in to ye chamber. And all ye wydowes stode roude aboute hym wepynge and shewynge the cotes and garmentes which Dorcas made whill she was with the.
Petro akaamka na akaondoka pamoja nao. Alipofika, walimleta katika chumba cha juu. Na wajane wote walisimama karibu naye wakilia, wakimwonyesha koti na nguo ambazo Dorcas aliwashonea wakati akiwa pamoja nao.
40 And Peter put the all forth and kneled doune and prayde and turned him to ye body and sayde: Tabitha aryse. And she opened her eyes and whe she sawe Peter she sat vp.
Petro akawatoa wote nje ya chumba, akapiga magoti akaomba, kisha akaugekia mwili, akasema, “Tabitha, amka”. Akafungua macho yake na alipomwona Petro akakaa chini.
41 And he gave her ye honde and lyft her up and called the sainctes and wydowes and shewed her alyve.
Kisha Petro akampa mkono wake akamwinua, na alipowaita waamini na wajane, akawakabidhi kwao akiwa hai
42 And it was knowne throwout all Ioppa and many beleved on the Lorde.
Jambo hili likajulikana Yafa yote, na watu wengi wakamwamini Bwana.
43 And it fortuned that he taryed many dayes in Ioppa with one Simon a tanner.
Ilitokea Petro akakaa siku nyingi Yafa pamoja na mtu aitwaye Simoni, mtengeneza ngozi.
