Ebhikolwa bhya Jintumwa 8
1 Sauli aliga ali mu kwikilishanya ingulu yo lufu lwae. olusiku olwo nilwo ambhile okubhanyasha mu bhutasikene na likanisa linu lyaliga mu Yerusalemu; abhekilisha bhona bhanu bhanyalagene mu maanga aga mu Yudea na Samaria, atali Jitumwa.
And at that time there was a great persecution against the church that was in Jerusalem; and they were all dispersed throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.
2 Abhanu bhanu bhaliga bhamwikilisishe Nyamuanga bhamusikile Stefano no kumukolela echalamo chinene.
But devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
3 Mbe nawe Sauli nanyasha muno li kanisa. Nagenda bhuli nyumbha no kubhakwesela anja abhagasi na bhalume, no kubhesa mwibhoyelo.
But Saul attempted to destroy the church; entering every house, and dragging men and women, he delivered them up to prison.
4 Abhekilisha bhanu bhaliga bhanyalagene bhaliga bhachasimula omusango.
Then they that were dispersed went everywhere preaching the word.
5 Filipo neka mu musi gwa Samaria no kumulasha Kristo eyo.
And Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached the Christ to them.
6 Wejile amekofyanyisho gongwa no kulola ebhibhalikisho bhinu Filipo akolele; nibhetegelesha ingulu ya chinu aikile.
And the multitudes with one mind gave heed to the things which were spoken by Philip, when they heard, and saw the signs which he did.
7 Okusoka ao abhanu bhafu bhanu bhonguywe, amasambhwa amajabhi ngabhasokako abhanu kenu nibhalila kwo bhulaka bhunene, na bhafu bhanu bhaliga bhafuye omubhili na bhalema nibheulisibhwa.
For unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them, and many paralytics and lame persons were cured.
8 Kwibhyo bhwabheyeo bhukondeleywe bhunene mu musi.
And there was great joy in that city.
9 Mbe nawe aliga alio omunu umwi mu musi gulya lisina lyae Simoni, unu akolaga obhulosi; bhunu akolaga kwo kubhatang 'a ng'asha abhanu abha liyanga lya Samaria, ku mwanya gundi naika ati mwenene ni munu wa insonga.
But there was a certain man, named Simon, who had, before this time, been practicing magic in the city, and astonishing the people of Samaria, saying that he was some great one;
10 AbhaSamaria bhona okwambhila ku mutoto kukinga ku mukulu, nibhamutegelesha; nibhaika; “omunu unu ni managa ga Nyamuanga ganu gali makulu.
to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying: This man is the great power of God.
11 nibhamungwa, kulwo kubha abhatang'ang'ashaga mwanya mulela kwo bhulosi bhwae.
And they gave heed to him because he had, for a long time, astonished them with his magic arts.
12 Mbe nawe mu mwanya ogwo bhejile bhekilisha ati Filipo asimuye ingulu yo bhukama bhwa Nyamuanga na kulwa Lisina Lya Yesu kristo, nibhabhatijibhwa, abhalume na bhagasi.
But when they believed Philip, who preached the good news concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were immersed, both men and women.
13 Simoni one ekilisishe: ejile abhatijibhwa, nagendelela okubha na Filipo; ejile alola ebhibhalikisho ne bhikumisho bhinu bhyakolekaga, nalugula.
And Simon himself also believed; and after he was immersed, he continued with Philip; and, seeing the mighty deeds and the signs which were done, he was astonished.
14 Omwanya gunu jitumwa jaliga jili Yerusalemu jejile jongwa ati Samaria one yalamie omusango gwa nyamuanga nibhabhatuma Petro na Yohana.
Now when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent to them Peter and John;
15 Mbe bhejile bheka nibhabhasabhila, nibhamulamila mwoyo mwelu.
who, when they had gone down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit.
16 okukinga ku mwanya ogwo, Mwoyo Mwelu aliga achali kubhekila na umwi webhwe, bhaliga bhabhatijibhwe-la Mwisina lya Latabugenyi Yesu.
For he had not yet fallen on any of them; only they had been immersed into the name of the Lord Jesus.
17 Ao niwo Petro na Yohana nibhabhatelako amabhoko mbe niwo nibhamulamila Mwoyo Mwelu.
Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
18 Mu mwanya ogwo Simoni ejile alola ati Mwoyo Mwelu kasosibhwa okulabha kwo kutelwako amabhoko ga jitumwa; Nenda okubhayana Jimpilya,
And when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the hands of the apostles, he offered them money,
19 Mbe naika, “munane amanaga ganu, koleleki bhuli unu nilamutelagako amabhoko amulamile Mwoyo Mwelu.”
saying: Give me, also, this authority, that whoever I shall lay my hands on, may receive the Holy Spirit.
20 Nawe Petero namubhwila ati; Jimpilya jao amwi nawe bhije kula, kulwo kubha outoga ati echiyanwa cha Nyamuanga echibhonekana mu mpilya.
But Peter said to him: Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God might be purchased with money.
21 Utana ebhala ku musango gunu, kulwo kubha omwoyo gwao gutemile imbhele ya Nyamuanga.
You have neither part nor share in this matter; for your heart is not right in the sight of God.
22 kulwejo nute amabhibhi gao no kumusabhwa Nyamuanga amwi ousasilwa ameganilisho go mwoyo gwao.
Repent, therefore, of this your wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the purpose of your heart may be forgiven you.
23 kulwo kubha enilola uli mu bhululu bhwa indulu na mwibhoyo lye bhibhibhi.
For I perceive that you are in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
24 Simoni nasubhya naika ati,”musabhile ku Latabugenyi kulwo kubha amasango gone ganu mwaika agatula okumbhona.
But Simon answered and said: Pray you both to the Lord for me, that none of the things which you have spoken come upon me.
25 Omwanya ogwo Petro na Yohana anu bhaliga nibhagubhambhalila no kusimula omusango gwa Latabugenyi, bhasubhile Yerusalemu mu njila eyo; bhasimuye omusango gwo bhwana mu misi myafu eja Bhasamaria.
Then, when they had given their testimony, and preached the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
26 Mbe malaika wa Latabugenyi naika no kumubhwila Filipo no kwaika,”imuka ulole na ugende mu malimbhe ku njila eyo eitelemukila mu Yerusalemu kwo kulolela Gaza.”(injila inu ili ibhala).
And an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying: Arise, and go toward the south, to the road that leads from Jerusalem to Gaza; this is desert.
27 Namaga- maga okwiya nagenda. Mbe lola, aliga alio omunu wa Itiopia, omunaule omunu wo bhutulo bhafu emwalo ya kadase; omukamagasi wa abhaisiopia. Unu aliga ateyweo kubha mubhiki we bhinu bhyae bhyona; one aliga agendele Yerusalemu okulamya.
And he arose and went. And behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem to worship,
28 Anu aliga nasubha aliga enyanjile mwigali lyae aliga nasoma echitabho cho bhulagi bhwa Isaya.
was returning, and, sitting in his chariot, read the prophet Isaiah.
29 Mwoyo naika na Filipo, “ilila ayei na ligali koleleki umililane nalyo.
And the Spirit said to Philip: Go forward and join yourself to this chariot.
30 kwibhyo Filipo nalibhata bhwangu, namungwa nasoma echitabho cho bhulagi bhwa Isaya; namubhwila ati, ougamenya ganu ousoma?”
And Philip ran forward, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah; and he said: Do you understand what you are reading?
31 Omuithiopia ulya naika ati,” enitula atiki ntana munu wo kutangasha?” “Namwilebheleja Filipo alinye mwigali no kwinyanja amwi nage.
He answered: How can I, unless some one instruct me? And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
32 Nawe oli libhala lya maandiko ganu aliga nasoma omuitiopia ulya ni linu; Atangasibhwe lwa Inyabhalega inu eigeda mwibhagilo okubhagwa na lwa kutyo inyabhalega eiba ijibhie, one atatanyishe munwa gwae.
The passage of the scripture which he was reading, was this: As a sheep for the slaughter was he led; and as a lamb before his shearer is dumb, so opened he not his mouth
33 kulwo bhusulumbhae bwae indamu yae yasosibhweo: Niga unu katula okwelesha olwibhulo lwae? obhulame bhwae bhwasosibhweo ku nsi.
in his humiliation. The sentence against him was taken away; but who shall describe the men of his generation? For his life was taken from the earth.
34 Kwibhyo omunaule ulya namubhusha Filipo, no kwaika, “enikusabhwa, ni mulagi uya unu kaikililwa emisango jae, jili ku mwene nagu jili ku munu undi?
And the eunuch answered Philip, and said: I pray you, of whom speaks the prophet this? Of himself, or of some other man?
35 “Filipo namba okwaika, ambhie ku musango gunu ogwa isaya okumusimulila emisango ja Yesu.
And Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached to him Jesus.
36 Anu bhaliga bhali mu njila, nibhakinga ku manji omunaule naika,”lola, anu galio amanji ni chinuki chinu echiganya nisige okubhatijibhwa?”
And as they went along the road, they came to some water; and the eunuch said: See, here is water; what hinders me from being immersed?
37 Amasango ganu, “kwibhyo omuitiopia nasubhya ati,”enikilisha ati Yesu kristo ni mwana wa Nyamuanga”, (gatalimo mu maandiko ga kala) niwo omuitiopia nalagilila ligali limelegulu.
38 Nibhaja mu manji, amwi Filipo no munaule, Filipo namubhatija.
And he commanded the chariot to stand still; and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he immersed him.
39 Mu mwanya ogwo bhejile bhasoka mu manji, mwoyo wa Latabugenyi nigumusila kula Filipo, mbe omunaule atasubhile kumulola, nagenda njila yae asandabhile.
And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
40 Mbe nawe Filipo nabhonekanila Azoto. Alabhile mu musi gulya no kusimula emisango jo bhwana mu misi jone ndijei nakinga Kaisaria.
But Philip was found at Azotus, and, passing through, he preached the gospel in all the cities, till he came to Cæsarea
