Acts 8
1 Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the assembly which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles.
U Sauli ahali nabhohitihanaga ahubude u Stefano. Wope u Sauli na ahandile abhatese bhonti akristi habhahali mu Yerusalemu na bhonti bhabhanyampine bhaali humajimbo ga Yudea na hu Samaria, bhasagiye bha mitume bhene.
2 Devout men buried Stephen and lamented greatly over him.
Abhantu bha Ngulubhi bhasyela uStefano bhazondiye enzondo engosi tee.
3 But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into every house and dragged both men and women off to prison.
Lelo uSauli alitesile sana ikanisa. Ashilaga shila nyumba abhakhate na bhakwesanjile hwunze nabhaponyezya mulumande(mwijela) abhashe na bhalume, na kuwatupia gerezani.
4 Therefore those who were scattered abroad went around preaching the word.
Bhaala bhabhanyampine abheene bhalumbililaga izu lya Ngulubhi.
5 Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ.
U Filipo ahishiye hu Samaria alumbililaga izu elya Ngulubhi.
6 The multitudes listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip when they heard and saw the signs which he did.
Ubhungano nabhalola zyazibhombeha nu Filipo; bhazibheha humoyo gabho nahwitishile.
7 For unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them. They came out, crying with a loud voice. Many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed.
Abhantu bhabhali bhabhinu bhaponile amipepo mabhibhi gabhafumile abhantu uhu bhakholaawa na bhaala afwemanama bhaponile.
8 There was great joy in that city.
Ensi ela bhasungwile sana.
9 But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who used to practice sorcery in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, making himself out to be some great one,
Ahali umuntu umo itawa lyakwe ali yu Simoni umuntu uyo alini tunga ashangazyaga tee ensi ya bha Samaria, umuntu uyo agaga umwene gosi saana bonti bhatimihaje.
10 to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is that great power of God.”
Abhasamaria bhonti bhahatejelezya ahwande umwa paka agosi abhantu bhaga umuntu unu ezi zyabhomba zifuma hwa Ngulubhi.”
11 They listened to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.
Bhatejelezya maana abhaswijizizye tee nsiku nyinji ni tuunga lyakwe.
12 But when they believed Philip preaching good news concerning God’s Kingdom and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
Nabhahatejelezya uFilipo nalumbililaga uumwene uwa humwanya ni tawa lya Ngulubhi lyalyaponyaga abhantu ashilile hwitawa lya Yesu bhahoziwe alume na bhashe.
13 Simon himself also believed. Being baptized, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed.
Wope uSimoni aheteshe ahoziwe nalileshe itunga lyakwe, ahendelela alongozanye nu Filipo; aswijile sana nahazilola Ungulubhi ashilile hwa Filipo zyazibhombeha ngosi tee.
14 Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,
Atume nabhahumvwa aje abhahu Samaria bhalyeteshe izi lya Ngulubhi, bhahabhatuma uPetro nu Yohana.
15 who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;
Nabhafiha hula bhabhapuutila aje bhaposheele Umpepo Ufinjile.
16 for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of Christ Jesus.
Ensiku zyonti izyo baalisile ahuposhele Umpepo Ufinjile bhonti lelo bhahoziwe hwitawa lya Yesu.
17 Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
U Petro nu Yohana bhabhabhishila amakhono bhabhapuutila, bhope baposhela Umpepo Ufinjile.
18 Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money,
U Simoni nawalola abhantu bhahuposhela Umpepo Ufinjile nabhabheshilwa amakhono na atume wanza aje abhapele ihela,
19 saying, “Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.”
Waga, “Mpeli nane ouwezo, owo aje shila muntu yehubhishila amakhono aposhelaje Umpepo Ufinjile.”
20 But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!
U Petro wabhuula waga ihela zyaho nawe wayo mtejele uhwo ubhishile aje ekarama ya Ngulubhi tipelwa ni hela.
21 You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart isn’t right before God.
Suli ni hama hwu mbombo ene umwoyo gwaho segugoloshe hwa Ngulubhi.
22 Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
Eshi laamba hwa Ngulubhi ulwinje abhahusajile ensebho zyaho embibhi ezyo.
23 For I see that you are in the poison of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity.”
Elola umwoyo gwaho segulishinza hunanchishe gupinyilwe ne mbibhi.”
24 Simon answered, “Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to me.”
U Simoni waga ilabha mumpuutile hwa Ngulubhi ezi zyamuyanjile zisahanaje.
25 They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Good News to many villages of the Samaritans.
U Petro nu Yohana pabhawelaga afume uhwo bhalumbiliye muvijiji vivinja evya Samaria pamande bhawela hu Yerusalemu.
26 Then an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise, and go toward the south to the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desert.”
Umalaika wa Ngulubhi wayanga nu Filipo waga sogola ushilile idala elya ntende(hu kusini) lwalihwishila hu Yerusalemu abhalile hu Gaza.” (Idala eli lili mwijangwa).
27 He arose and went; and behold, there was a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship.
U Filipo wabhala. Walola umuntu uwa hwi Ethiopia, afumle apuute hu Yerusalemu umuntu unu ali hasule ali gosi hu nyumba ya malkia wa hwi Ethiopia.
28 He was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
Akhiiye mwi gari lyakwa abhazyaga ibhangili lya Isaya igari palijenda abhale amwabho.
29 The Spirit said to Philip, “Go near, and join yourself to this chariot.”
Umpepo wabhuula uFilipo zubhilila hwi gari elyo upalamane nalyo.
30 Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”
“U Filipo walishimbilila igari lila wamwunvwa ula umuntu abhazya mwibhangili elya Isaya wabhuzya uzyiliwe zyubhazya umwo?”
31 He said, “How can I, unless someone explains it to me?” He begged Philip to come up and sit with him.
Umuntu ula uMwiethiopia waga embahwelewe wili umuntu nkasiga andongozye? Wakhope lezya uFilipo aje ainjile mwigari lyakwe bhakhale bhonti.
32 Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he doesn’t open his mouth.
Ibhangili lyabhazyaga pasimbilwe eshi alongoziwe neshi engole nabhabhalanayo asinze; apumile myee neshi engole, sigahiguye ilomu lyakwe:
33 In his humiliation, his judgment was taken away. Who will declare His generation? For his life is taken from the earth.”
Azugumile hwakwe alongwe hwakwe hwa hepile: Weenu yaiyanga eshizazi shakwe(empapo yakwe)? amaisha gakwe gepile munsi.”
34 The eunuch answered Philip, “Who is the prophet talking about? About himself, or about someone else?”
Ula uhasule mwithiopia wabhuuzya uFilipo unu umuntu yebhazya umu enongwa ezi zyakwe yuyo awe zya muntu winji”?
35 Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him about Jesus.
U Filipo wamwandila mwumwo munongwa zyabhazyaga mwibhangili lya Isaya hulumbilile izu lya Yesu.
36 As they went on the way, they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Behold, here is water. What is keeping me from being baptized?”
Nabhandelela abhale bhafiha papali na menze ula uhasule wabhuzya uFilipo enya amenze ega epa henu hahansinti zya ahwoziwe?
u Filipo waga nkuyitishe ebhajiye ula Umwithiopia waga eneteshe huje uYesu mwana wa Ngulubhe, ula Umwithiopia wimiliha igari lyakwe.
38 He commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.
Bhiha bhonti mwigari bhatumbushila mumenze, uFilipo nu mwithiopia uFilipo wamwozya(wabhatizya).
39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch didn’t see him any more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
Nabhazubha afume muminzi bhonti Umpepo wanyatula uFilipo wasagala yu Mwithiopia mwene Umwithiopia wasogola nigari lyakwe abhalile shashiye humwoyo.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus. Passing through, he preached the Good News to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.
Lelo uFilipo abhuinishe hu azoto alumbililaga muvijiji na mujini mpaka afishile hu Kaisaria.
