Matendo ga Mitume 9
1 Lakini Sauli, kayendelea longela vitishi hata kwa kiwo cha banapunzi ba Ngwana, atiyenda kwa kuhani nkolo
And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
2 na kunnaba barua kwa ajili ya Masinagogi kolyo Dameski, ili panga mana ampatike mundu ywabile katika ndela yelo, awe nnalome au nnwawa, abatabe na kubaleta Yerusalem.
And desired from him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he should find any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3 Paabile katika safari, ipangite kuwa paakaribie Dameski, gafla utimwangazia kotekote bweya boka kumaunde,'
And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined around him a light from heaven:
4 ni ywembe atomboka pae na ayowine lilobe lambakiye, “Sauli, Sauli, mbona wanitesa nenga?”
And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5 Sauli kayangwa, Wenga wa nyai Ngwana? Ngwana kabaya, “Nenga ni Yesu waniudhi.
And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. [It is] hard for thee to kick against the goads.
6 Lakini inuka, jingya mjini, wenga walowa bakilwa ya upalikwa kuyapanga.
And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord [said] to him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
7 Balo bandu batisafiiri pamope na Sauli batami kimya, kabayowa lilobe ila bamweni kwaa mundu.
And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
8 Sauli atiinuka katika nnema na paayongoli minyo gake, aweza kwaa bona kilebe, kabankamwa luboko bannetike Dameski.
And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought [him] into Damascus.
9 Kwa masoba atatu abweni kwaa, alya kwaa wala anywa kwaa.
And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
10 Abile mwanapunzi Dameski lina lyake Anania, Ngwana alongela nae katika maono, “Anania.” No baya, “Linga, nibile pano, Ngwana.
And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I [am here], Lord.
11 “Ngwana kammakiya, Inuka uyende zako katika mtaa waukemelwa Nyofu, na katika nyumba ya Yuda na ukannaluye mundu boka Tarso ywakemelwa Sauli; mana angali aloba:
And the Lord [said] to him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for [one] called Saul of Tarsus: for behold, he prayeth,
12 Na amweni katika maono mundu lina lyake Anania kajingya na kumbekya maboko nnani yake ila panga aweze kubona.
And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias, coming in, and putting [his] hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
13 Lakini Anania kanyangwa, “Ngwana, niyowine habari za mundu yoo kwa bandu banyansima, kwa kiasi gani abatendea mabaya batakatifu na kolyo Yerusalemu;
Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
14 Pano abile na mamlaka boka kwa kuhani nkolo kuntaba kila yumo ywalikema lina lyako.
And here he hath authority from the chief priests, to bind all that call on thy name.
15 Lakini Ngwana kammakiya, “Uyende, mana ywembe ni chombo kiteule sango, alitole lina lyango nnongi ya Mataifa na apwalume na bana ba Israeli.
But the Lord said to him, Go, for he is a chosen vessel to me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel.
16 Maana nalowa kuwabonekeya yabile ganyansima yaapalikwa kuteswa kwa ajili ya lina lyango.”
For I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
17 Anania kayenda, ajingii mu'nyumba; Kambekeya maboko kabaya, ndugu Sauli, Ngwana Yesu, ywakutokya katika ndela paubile waisa, anitumile upate kubona kae na utolilwe na Roho Mtakatifu.
And Ananias went, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord ([even] Jesus that appeared to thee in the way as thou camest) hath sent me, that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
18 Gafla vyatomboka ilebe kati magamba, apatike kubona, ayemi, akabatizwa; kalyaa chakulya na kupata ngupu,
And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
19 Atami pamope na banapunzi bake kolyo Dameski kwa masoba ganyansima.
And when he had received food, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
20 Muda wowolo kantangaza Yesu katika masinagogi, kabaya panga ywembe ni Ngwana wa Nnongo.
And immediately he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
21 Na bote bayowine batishangala no baya, “Abile mundu yolo kwaa ywaatibaharibu bote balikemile lina lee kolyo Yerusalemu? Na pano kaisa kwa kusudi lya kuwafunga na kuwapeleka kwa makuhani,”
But all that heard [him] were amazed, and said, Is not this he that destroyed them who called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?
22 Lakini Sauli atiwezeshwa hubiri na kubapanga Bayahudi batami Dameski basanganyikilwe na kuthibitisha ya kuwa ayoo nga Kristo.
But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
23 Baada ya masoba ganansima, Bayahudi bapanga shauri pamope ili wamulage.
And after many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him.
24 Lakini mpango wabe utiyowanika na Sauli. Kabamvizia pannango mutwekati na kilo bapate kumulaga.
But their laying in wait, was known to Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.
25 Lakini banapunzi bake kabantola kilo na kunshusha pitya ukutani, kabanneta pae mu'kitondo.
Then the disciples took him by night, and let [him] down by the wall in a basket.
26 Na sauli paaikite Yerusalemu, atijaribu kujiunga na banapunzi lakini babile bakimwogopa, basadiki kwaa kuwa ywembe ni mwanapunzi.
And when Saul had come to Jerusalem, he essayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.
27 Lakini Barnaba kantola na kumpeleka kwa mitume, na aabakiye jinsi Sauli yaamweni Ngwana mu'ndela na Ngwana yaa alongela nakwe, na jinsi Sauli atihubiri kwa ujasiri kwa lina lya Yesu kolyo Dameski.
But Barnabas took him, and brought [him] to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
28 Atikwembana nabembe kabajingya na boka Yerusalemu, abaya kwa ujasiri kwa lina lya Ngwana Yesu.
And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.
29 Kabalongela na Ayahudi wa Kiyunani lakini batijaribu mara kwa mara kumulaga.
And he spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
30 Muda palitangite likowe lee, kabantola mpaka Kaisaria, na batimpeleka ayende Tarso.
[Which] when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Cesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
31 Bai likanisa lyote katika Uyahudi, Galilaya na Samaria, libile na amani, lichengwite, na tyanga katika hofu ya Ngwana na faraja ya Roho Mtakatifu, likanisa latikuwa na yongekeya idadi ya bandu.
Then had the churches rest throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, and were edified: and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, were multiplied.
32 Boka po itokii Petro paabile kazunguka zunguka pande zote za mkoa, akabateremkia baumini batama katika mji wa Lida.
And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all [quarters], he came down also to the saints who dwelt at Lydda.
33 Amweni kolyo mundu yumo lina lyake Ainea, mundu yolo abile pakindanda myaka nane; mana abile atipooza.
And there he found a certain man named Eneas, who had kept his bed eight years, and was sick with the palsy.
34 Petro kammakiya, “Ainea, Yesu Kristo akuponye; amka ni uyitandikiye kindanda sako.” mara atiamka.
And Peter said to him, Eneas, Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
35 Na bandu bote batami Lida na Sharoni pabamweni mundu yolo, batimkerebukya Ngwana.
And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.
36 Pabile na mwanapunzi Yafa akemelwa Tabitha, ambalo mana yake “Dorcas” Ayoo nnwawa atwelilwe kazi inoite na matendo ga rehema aipangite kwa maskini.
Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, who by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and alms-deeds which she did.
37 Yatipangika katika masoba ago abile ntamwe na awile, pabamsafisha, no kumpandisha chumba cha kunani na kumgonjekea.
And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom, when they had washed, they laid in an upper chamber.
38 Kwa namna Lida abile papipi na Yafa, banapunzi bayowine panga Petro abile kolyo, batibatuma bandu abele kwake, kabamsihi, “Uise kwitu bila kuchelewa.”
And as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent to him two men, desiring [him] that he would not delay to come to them.
39 Petro atiamka na kaboka pamope nabembe. Paaikite, bannetike katika chumba cha kunani. Na ajane bote bayemi papipi niywembe niywembe kabalela, bakinlolekeya koti na ngobo ambazo Dorcas atibashonea muda abile pamope nabo.
Then Peter arose, and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
40 Petro kabatoa bote panja ya nyumba, kapiga magoti na kuloba, boka po, atiukerebukya yega, “Tabitha, amka.” Ayongoli minyo gake na paamweni Petro atami pae.
But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning to the body, said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41 Boka po ampeya luboko lwake na kumwinua, na paabakema baamini na bajane, atibakabidhi kwabe abile nkoto.
And he gave her [his] hand, and lifted her up; and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
42 Likowe lee liyowanike Yafa yote, na bandu banyansima bamwaminiya Ngwana.
And it was known throughout all Joppa: and many believed in the Lord.
43 Ipangite Petro atama masoba ganyansima Yafa pamope na mundu ywakemelwa Simoni, ywatengeneza ngozi.
And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
