Acts 9
1 But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
Kuiti, uSauli, ai ulongolekile kuligitya u utumbani ga nuwu nua nsha ku amanyisigwa a Mukulu, akalongola kung'wa kuhani nu mukulu
2 and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
nu kulompa ibada kunsoko a matekeelo uko ku Dameski, iti kina anga wamulije muntu nukoli mu nzila iyo, atule mugoha ang'wi musungu, wa atunge nu ku aleta ku Yerusalemu.
3 As he traveled, he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.
Ga nai watula ulongoe muhinzo, ai ipumie kina nai wahumbeela ku Dameski, kupumpugiilya ika melya pihi pihii welu kupuma kilunde,'
4 He fell on the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”
nung'wenso wakagwa pihi hangi akija luli lukumutambuila, “Sauli, Sauli, mbona ukunaja unene?”
5 He said, “Who are you, Lord?” The Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
uSauli akasukiilya, Wi nyenyu u ewe Mukulu? uMukulu akaligitya, “Unene ng'wenso Yesu nuku ntasha;
6 But rise up and enter into the city, then you will be told what you must do.”
Kuiti nyansuka, ingile mu kisali, nu ewe ukutambuilwa nu takiwe kituma.
7 The men who traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the sound, but seeing no one.
iAntu awo nai akugenda palung'wi nu Sauli akakilaga ihi twii, aze ategeeye u luli, shanga ikihenga u muntu.
8 Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened, he saw no one. They led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.
uSauli akanyansuka mu ihi nai kunukue i miho akwe, shanga akahuma kihenga i kintu, akamuamba u mukono akamuleta kupikiila ku Dameski.
9 He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
Ku mahiku ataatu shanga ukihenga, shanga ukulya, ang'wi kung'wa.
10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” He said, “Behold, it’s me, Lord.”
Uugwa ai ukoli u mumanyisigwa ku Dameski i lina nilakwe Anania, uMukulu ai uligitilye nu ng'wenso mu muloto, 'Anania.” Nu kuligitya, “Goza, nkoli apa, Mukulu.
11 The Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judah for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying,
“uMukulu akamutambuila, “Nyansuka ulongole mu kisali nikitangwaa Nyofu, nu mu ito nilang'wa Yuda ukolye muntu kupuma ku Tarso, nuitangwaa Sauli; ndogoelyo umoli ukulompa;
12 and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight.”
hangi aza umihengile mu muloto u muntu i lina nilakwe Anania ukingila nu kumuikiilya i mikono migulya akwe iti kina walije kihenga.
13 But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem.
Kuiti u Anania akasukiilya, “Mukulu, nijaa inkani nia muntu uyu ku antu idu, ku ngele kii nukuatendeela ubi i elu nia uko ku Yerusalemu;
14 Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.”
Apa ukete u uhumi kupuma kung'wa kuhani nu mukulu kumuamba kila ung'wi nuenda litanga i lina nilako.
15 But the Lord said to him, “Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the children of Israel.
Kuiti uMukulu akamutambuila, “Longola, ku ndogoelyo nuanso ingi kiseme kihoilwe kitolane, walihole ilina nilane ntongeela a anyaingu ni a temi ni ana a Israeli.
16 For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.”
Ndogoelyo nikamulagiila nili idu nakumutulika kagigwa ku nsoko a lina nilane.”
17 Ananias departed and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
uAnania akalongola, akingila umo mito; Akamu ikiilya i mikono akaligitya, Munya ndugu Sauli, uMukulu uYesu, naza ukupumie mu nzila naza watulaa upembilye, undagiiye ulije kihenga hangi wizuligwe u Ng'wau Ng'welu.
18 Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was baptized.
Kupumpugiilya ikagwa kupuma mu miho akwe intu anga makulugamba, akalija kihenga, akimika, akogigwa; akalya indya nu kulija ingulu.
19 He took food and was strengthened. Saul stayed several days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
Akikie palung'wi ni amanyisigwa uko ku Dameski ku mahiku idu.
20 Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed the Christ, that he is the Son of God.
Matungo yayo yaayo akamutanantya uYesu mu matekeelo, azeligitya kina u ng'wenso ingi ng'wana wang'wa Itunda.
21 All who heard him were amazed, and said, “Isn’t this he who in Jerusalem made havoc of those who called on this name? And he had come here intending to bring them bound before the chief priests!”
Hangi ihi nai igulye ai akuiwe nu kuligitya, “Shanga yuyu nai uabipilye ihi nai itangile i lina ili uko ku Yerusalemu? Hangi apa aza uzile ku isigo nila kuatunga nu kuatwala ku akuhani.”
22 But Saul increased more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
Kuiti uSauli ai uaiigwe kutanantya nu kuatenda i Ayahudi nai ikiie ku Dameski ahalinkanilwe nu ku kaminkiilya nia kina uyu yuyo Kristo.
23 When many days were fulfilled, the Jews conspired together to kill him,
Ze yakilaa mahiku idu, Ayahudi akaika ulamuli palung'wi iti amubulage.
24 but their plot became known to Saul. They watched the gates both day and night that they might kill him,
Kuiti isigo lao likakumuka kung'wa Sauli. Akamutugila pa mumpita mung'wi nu utiku alije kumubulaga.
25 but his disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
Kuiti amanyisigwa akwe akamuhola utiku akamusimya kukiila mi ikiligo, akamusimya pihi mu nkapu.
26 When Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
Nu Sauli nai wapika ku Yerusalemu, ai ugemile kihanguila ni amanyisigwa; kuiti ai atulaa akumogopa, shanga akahuiila kina ung'wenso ingi mumanyisigwa.
27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.
Kuiti uBarnaba akamuhola nu kumutwala ku itumi, Nu kuaganuila kinyauli uSauli ai umuine u Mukulu mu nzila nu Mukulu nai uligitilye nu ng'wenso, ni kinyauli uSauli nai utanantilye ku ukamatiku ku lina nilang'wa Yesu uko ku Dameski.
28 He was with them entering into Jerusalem,
Ai utankanile ni enso nai akingila nu kupuma ku Yerusalemu. Akitunta ku ukamatiku ku lina nila Mukulu uYesu,
29 preaching boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus. He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.
azikolenkeelya ni Ayahudi nia Kiyunani, kuiti azegema nkua ku nkua kumubulaga.
30 When the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
Matungo ia luna nai alinga ikani nilanso, akamuhola kupika ku Kaisaria, nu kumutwala alongole ku Tarso.
31 So the assemblies throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
Uugwa itekeelo lihi mu Uyahudi, Galilaya ni Samaria, ai latula nu ulyuuku, hangi likazengwa, nu kugenda mu woa nua Mukulu ni ipoelya nila Ng'wau Ng'welu, itekeelo likakula ku kongeeleka ingele.
32 As Peter went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.
Uugwa ai upumie uPetro nai ukoli ukupilima pilima nkika yihi nia mukoa, aka asimiila ahuiili ni ikie mu kisali nika Lida.
33 There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years because he was paralyzed.
Akamihenga kuko muntu ung'wi i lina nilakwe Ainea, muntu uyu watuilee mu ulili myaka munana; ndogoelyo ai watulaa kitele.
34 Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed!” Immediately he arose.
uPetro akamuila, “Ainea, uYesu Kristo akugune; Uka hangi witandikilye u ulili nuako,” Nkua yiyo akauka.
35 All who lived at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
Ni atu ihi nai ikiie ku Lida ni Sharoni nai amihengile u muntu uyo, ai amupilukie u Mukulu.
36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which when translated means Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.
Ai akoli nu mumanyisigwa Yafa nuitangwaaTabitha, niiza limpyanigwe anga “Dorcas.” Uyu musungu ai wizue mulimo ukende ni ntendo nia ukendepwa nai witumaa ku a ula.
37 In those days, she became sick and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
Ai ipumie mu mahiku nanso ai ulwae nu kusha; nai amukalalya, ai amunankiiye shumba nika migulya nu kumulalisha.
38 As Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them.
Ku iti i Linda ai atulaa pakupi ni Yafa, ni amanyisigwa ai igulye kina uPetro ai ukoli kuko, ai a alagiiye antu abiili kitalakwe, aze musinja, “Pembya kitaitu bila kutinia.”
39 Peter got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper room. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the tunics and other garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
uPetro akauka nu kuhega palung'wi ni enso. Nai wakapika, ai amuletile mu shumba nika migulya. Ni ahimbi ihi ai imikile pakupi nu ng'wenso azelila, azemulagiila ia mujulungu ni ang'wenda naza uDorcas ai uahilitiiye itungo nai ukoli palung'wi ni enso.
40 Peter sent them all out, and knelt down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
uPetro aka apumya ihi kunzi a shumba, akatugama akalompa, uugwa akaupilukila u muili, akaligitya, “Tabitha, uka.” Akalugula i miho akwe hangi nai wakamihenga uPetro akikie pihi.
41 He gave her his hand and raised her up. Calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
Uugwa uPetro akaminkiilya u mukono nuakwe akamunyansula, hangi nai wakaitanga i ahuiili ni ahimbi, akainkiilya kitalao aze mupanga.
42 This became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
Ikani ili likakumuka i Yafa ihi, ni antu idu akamuhuiila uMukulu.
43 He stayed many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.
Ai ipumie uPetro akikie mahiku idu ku Yafa palung'wi ni muntu nuitangwaa Simioni, muzipya ndili.
