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 Saul was well pleased with his execution. For at that time there was a great persecution against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all dispersed through the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.
2 Abhanu bhanu bhaliga bhamwikilisishe Nyamuanga bhamusikile Stefano no kumukolela echalamo chinene.
And some pious men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation for him.
3 Mbe nawe Sauli nanyasha muno li kanisa. Nagenda bhuli nyumbha no kubhakwesela anja abhagasi na bhalume, no kubhesa mwibhoyelo.
But Saul made havock of the church, entring into the houses, and dragging out men and women, committed them to prison.
4 Abhekilisha bhanu bhaliga bhanyalagene bhaliga bhachasimula omusango.
Now they that were dispersed went about preaching the word.
5 Filipo neka mu musi gwa Samaria no kumulasha Kristo eyo.
And Philip coming to the city of Samaria, preached Christ unto them.
6 Wejile amekofyanyisho gongwa no kulola ebhibhalikisho bhinu Filipo akolele; nibhetegelesha ingulu ya chinu aikile.
And the people unanimously attended to the things which were spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he wrought:
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 impure spirits crying with a loud voice came out of many that were possessed by them; and many paralytic 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 before in the city a man named Simon practising magic and bewitching the people of Samaria, giving out that he was some great person.
10 AbhaSamaria bhona okwambhila ku mutoto kukinga ku mukulu, nibhamutegelesha; nibhaika; “omunu unu ni managa ga Nyamuanga ganu gali makulu.
Whom they all greatly regarded, from the lest to the greatest, saying, This man is as the great power of God.
11 nibhamungwa, kulwo kubha abhatang'ang'ashaga mwanya mulela kwo bhulosi bhwae.
And they were attentive to him, because he had for a considerable time astonished them by 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 as they believed Philip, preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, 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 was baptized, and kept constantly with Philip: and beholding the signs and miracles that were wrought, he was amazed.
14 Omwanya gunu jitumwa jaliga jili Yerusalemu jejile jongwa ati Samaria one yalamie omusango gwa nyamuanga nibhabhatuma Petro na Yohana.
Now when the apostles at 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 were come down prayed for them that they might receive the holy Spirit: (for He was not yet fallen upon any of them,
16 okukinga ku mwanya ogwo, Mwoyo Mwelu aliga achali kubhekila na umwi webhwe, bhaliga bhabhatijibhwe-la Mwisina lya Latabugenyi Yesu.
only they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus: ) and then they laid their hands on them,
17 Ao niwo Petro na Yohana nibhabhatelako amabhoko mbe niwo nibhamulamila Mwoyo Mwelu.
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 by the imposition 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 power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he 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 unto him, Let thy money perish with thee, since thou thoughtest to purchase the gift of God with money.
21 Utana ebhala ku musango gunu, kulwo kubha omwoyo gwao gutemile imbhele ya Nyamuanga.
Thou hast no part nor lot in this matter: for thy 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 thy wickedness, and pray to God, if so be the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee:
23 kulwo kubha enilola uli mu bhululu bhwa indulu na mwibhoyo lye bhibhibhi.
for I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness and bond of iniquity.
24 Simoni nasubhya naika ati,”musabhile ku Latabugenyi kulwo kubha amasango gone ganu mwaika agatula okumbhona.
And Simon answered, and said, Do ye pray to the Lord for me, that none of the things which ye have spoken may 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.
And they having testified and declared the word of the Lord, 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 spake to Philip, saying, Arise and go southward to the way that leads down from Jerusalem to Gaza, which 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, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, and her high-treasurer, who had come to Jerusalem to worship,
28 Anu aliga nasubha aliga enyanjile mwigali lyae aliga nasoma echitabho cho bhulagi bhwa Isaya.
was returning, and as he sat in his chariot, was reading the prophet Esaias:
29 Mwoyo naika na Filipo, “ilila ayei na ligali koleleki umililane nalyo.
and the Spirit said to Philip, Go near and join thyself to this chariot. And Philip running up to him,
30 kwibhyo Filipo nalibhata bhwangu, namungwa nasoma echitabho cho bhulagi bhwa Isaya; namubhwila ati, ougamenya ganu ousoma?”
heard him reading the prophet Esaias, and said, Dost thou understand what thou readest?
31 Omuithiopia ulya naika ati,” enitula atiki ntana munu wo kutangasha?” “Namwilebheleja Filipo alinye mwigali no kwinyanja amwi nage.
And he said, How can I, unless some one guide me? and he desired 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.
And the portion of scripture, which he was reading, was this, "He was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before it's shearer is dumb, so He opened not his mouth:
33 kulwo bhusulumbhae bwae indamu yae yasosibhweo: Niga unu katula okwelesha olwibhulo lwae? obhulame bhwae bhwasosibhweo ku nsi.
in his humiliation his judgement was taken away, and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken away 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 thee, of whom doth the prophet say this? of himself, or of some other person?
35 “Filipo namba okwaika, ambhie ku musango gunu ogwa isaya okumusimulila emisango ja Yesu.
Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning at this scripture, preached unto 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 on their way, they came to a certain water: and the eunuch said, See here is water, what hindereth me from being baptized?
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.
And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 Nibhaja mu manji, amwi Filipo no munaule, Filipo namubhatija.
And he ordered the chariot to stop: and they both went down to the water, Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized 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 were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more: but 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 as he passed along, he preached the gospel in all the cities, till he came to Cesarea.
