Acts 9
1 But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
Kono Saule, usiwamba zokutiza ni kwihaya balutwana ba Simwine, cha yenda ku mupurisita mukulwana
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.
ni kuka kumbila mañolo ama Sinagoge mwa Damaseka, ili kuti chawana babakuwila mweyo inzila, kapa mukwame kapa mwanakazi, pona chokabaleta niba suminwe kwa Jerusalema.
3 As he travelled, he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.
Haba kukabuyenda, kuba tendahali kuti heza kusika hembali ni Damaseka, hahobulyo chikweza kuboneka iseli lingi libakuzwa mwiwulu;
4 He fell on the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”
mi chawila hansi ni kuzuwa linzwi liwamba kwali, “Saule, Saule, chinzi ho ni nyandisa?
5 He said, “Who are you, Lord?” The Lord said, “I am Yeshua, whom you are persecuting.
Saule chetaba, “njewe ni, Simwine?” Simwine chati, “Njeme Jesu yokwete kunyandisa;
6 But rise up and enter into the city, then you will be told what you must do.”
kono zime, winjile mu muleneñi, mi mowambilwe zo swanela kutenda.”
7 The men who travelled with him stood speechless, hearing the sound, but seeing no one.
Bakwame baba kuyenda ni Saule chiba zima nikubula maanzwi, ni bazuwile linzwi, kono ni basabwene 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.
Saule chabuka hansi, mi heyalula menso akwe, kakwina chabakubona; chiba mukwata kwiyanza niku muleta mwa Damaseka.
9 He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
Abahindi mazuba otatwe nasaboni, mi kena aba kulya ni kunywa.
10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Hananiah. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Hananiah!” He said, “Behold, it’s me, Lord.”
Linu Kubena mulutwana mwa Damaseka yaba kusumpwa Aneniyas; mi Simwine aba wambi kwali chempono, “Aneniyasi.” cha wamba, “Bone, ime zunu, Simwine.”
11 The Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judah for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying,
Simwine cha wamba kwali, “Zime, uyende mwi kululu lisumpwa Kuotoloka, mi kwi nzubo ya Judasi buze mukwame yozwa kwa Tarese yosumpwa Saule; yokwete kulapela;
12 and in a vision he has seen a man named Hananiah coming in and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight.”
mi ababoni impono mukwame yaba ku sumpwa Ananiyasi nakeza kwali kwiza kumubika maanza, ilikuti atambule kubona kwakwe.”
13 But Hananiah answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your holy ones at Jerusalem.
Kono Ananiyasi chetaba, “Simwine, ni bazuwi kubangi kuamana nozu mukwame, inkolofalo isika hayi yabatendi kubantu bako bajolola mwa Jerusalema.
14 Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.”
Wina maata azwa ku mukulwana wa maprisita ku sumina bonse kunu ba sumpa he zina lyako.”
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.
Kono Simwine chawamba kwali, “Yende, mi uzu uketetwe kuba chisebeliso changu, kuhinda izina lyangu habusu bwa chisi chingi ni malena ni bana ba Isilaele;
16 For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.”
mi kani mutondeze mwete a sukulukile chebaka lye zina lwangu.”
17 Hananiah 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.”
Cwale Ananiyasi chayenda, ni kwinjila munzuvo. Kuka muvika maanza hakwe, chati, “Mukwangu Saule, Simwine Jesu, yaba boneki kwako he nzila hamuba kukeza, wakanituma ili kuti zo tambule kubona kwako mi wizule luho lu jolola.”
18 Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was immersed.
Hahobulyo zintu zikola maamba zibawi mumenso a Saule, mi chatambula kubona kwakwe, aba zimi ni kukolobezwa;
19 He took food and was strengthened. Saul stayed several days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
abali nikuwana ziho. Abekali ni balutwana mwa Damaseka chamazuba alikene.
20 Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed the Messiah, that he is the Son of God.
Haho chaha bupaki bwa Jesu muma Sinagoge, nata kuti uzo mwana wa Ireeza.
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!”
Bonse baba zuwi baba komokwa ni kuwamba, “kanjiyena uzu mukwame yaba sinyi abo mwa Jerusalema baba kusumpa heli zina? mi abakezi kunu ili kuti abalete zeba suminwe kumu kulwana wa maprisita.”
22 But Saul increased more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived at Damascus, proving that this is the Messiah.
Kono Saule abezi kwinjihilwa ziho, aba leti filikana mukati ka ma Juda baba kuhala mwa Damaseka chakutondeza kuti Jesu nji Keresite.
23 When many days were fulfilled, the Jews conspired together to kill him,
Hakuhita mazuba mangi, ma Juda chibalela hamwina kuti bamwihaye.
24 but their plot became known to Saul. They watched the gates both day and night that they might kill him,
Kono mulelo wabo chiwezibeka kwa Saule. Baba kugantela milyango musihali ni masiku ilikuti bamwihaye.
25 but his disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
Kono balutwana bakwe baba muhindi masiku kumushilsa imota, shetumwina muchitanda.
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.
Hakeza kusika mwa Jerusalema, Saule abaliki kukopana ni balutwana, kono bonse baba kumutiya, nibasa zumina kuti mulutwana.
27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the emissaries, 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 Yeshua.
Kono Barnabasi abamuhindi ni kumutwala ku bapositola. Mi Chaba wambila mwaba boneni Saule Simwine he nzila ni kuti kuti Simwine aba wambi naye, ni kwaDamaseka Saule mwa bakutazi chakusatiya mwizina lya Jesu.
28 He was with them entering into Jerusalem,
Aba kopani nabo hababa kukeza ni kuzwa mwa Jerusalema. Abawambi chakusatiya mwi zina lya Simwine Jesu
29 proclaiming boldly in the name of the Lord Yeshua. He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.
aba wambolisani ni ma Gerike bama Juda; kono baba zwili habusu ni kulika kusaka kumwihaya.
30 When the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
Linu baakwetu habeziba izi, chiba mulate hansi kwa Sesaria nikumu tumina kwa Tarese.
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.
Cwale linu, Inkeleke zonse mwa Judea, Galilea, ni Samaria babena inkozo imi ibazakite; ni, kuyenda niba tiite Simwine ni mukuombwa-ombwa kwa luhuho lu jolola, inkeleke chiza yekezeha chabungi.
32 As Peter went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the holy ones who lived at Lydda.
Linu kubezi tendahali kuti, Pitrosi haba kukabuyenda muchikiliti chonse, aba kezi kuba lumeli baba kuhala mwi tolopo ya Lida.
33 There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years because he was paralysed.
Uko abakawani mukwame zumi wezina lya Enea, yabena kabulo bwakwe chezilimo zilimo zimane iyanza ni zotatwe, aba kuzuminine luñañali.
34 Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Yeshua the Messiah heals you. Get up and make your bed!” Immediately he arose.
Pitrosi chati kwali, “Enea, Jesu Kereste waku hoza. Buke mi uzale bulobwako.” hahobulyo cha zimana.
35 All who lived at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
cwale bonse baba kuhala mwa Lida ni mwa Saroni bababoni mukwame ni ba sandukila kwa Simwine.
36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tavita, which when translated means Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.
Linu mwa Jopa kubena mulutwana ya ba kusumpwa Tabita, itoloketwe kuti “Dorkasi.” Uzu mwanakazi abezwile mitendo milotu ni zitendantu zizwile chishemo zaba pangili bahumanehi.
37 In those days, she became sick and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
kubezi kauba kuti mwawo mazuba kuti abezi kulwala ni kufwa; hachi babamanite kumushanza, baba mulaziki munzubo yokwiwulu.
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.
Sina Lida haiba kwina hembali ni Jopa, mi balutwana babazuwi kuti Pitrosi kwabakwina, chibatumina bakwame bobele kwali, kumu kumbila kuti, “Wize kwetu nikusena kuliyeha.”
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.
Pitrosi chazimana ni kuyenda nabo. Hakasika, chibamutwala kwi nzubo ya kwiwulu. Mi imbelwa zonse ziba kuzimene kwimbali yakwe ni zilila, niba mutondeza majansi nizi zizwato zababa pangi Dorkasi nasina nebo.
40 Peter sent them all out, and knelt down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, “Tavita, get up!” She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
Pitrosi chaba zwisikiza bonse hanze ye nzubo, cha fukama, ni kulapela; haho, cha sandukila kumubili, chawamba, “Tabita, buke.” Che yalula menso akwe, mi habona Pitrosi che kala.
41 He gave her his hand and raised her up. Calling the holy ones and widows, he presented her alive.
Pitrosi linuchamuha iyanza lyakwe ni kumu zimanika; mi hasumpa balumeli ni mbelwa, abamuleti na hala kubali.
42 This became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
Iyi indaba chiyezibeka ahulu mwaJopa yonse, imi bantu bangi baba zumini kwa Simwine.
43 He stayed many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.
Kubazi kuba kuti Pitrosi abekali mazuba mangi mwaJopa ni mukwame yosumpwa Simoni, yaba kusuka madalo.
