Bilongwa bya Batumibwa 16:1-40
16 Ebiya wafika ku Debe kadi ne ku Lesetala.+ Kwadi mwanā bwanga umo wa dijina dya bu Temote,+ mwana wa mwana-mukaji umo Muyuda mwitabije inoko shandi Mungidiki,
2 kadi wadi unenenwa biyampe na banabetu mu Lesetala ne mu Ikoniuma.
3 Polo waikele na mutyima wa kwenda na Temote, wamusela wamutweja kwisao mwanda wa Bayuda badi mu bifuko’bya,+ ke-bantu abo bonso badi bayukile amba shandi i Mungidiki.
4 Pobadi benda bapita mu bibundi, badi bebafikijija mbila yakwete batumibwa ne bakulumpe ba mu Yelusalema amba balame’yo.+
5 Penepo bipwilo byadi bininga mu lwitabijo ne kwivudija difuku ne difuku.
6 Ne kadi, bapita ku Fidya ne mu ntanda ya Ngalatea,+ ke-pantu mushipiditu ujila webakankeje kwisamba mwanda mu ntanda ya bubikavu ya Azia.
7 Kadi, abo pa kutūkila ku Misha, balonga bukomo bwa kutwela mu Bityinia,+ ino mushipiditu wa Yesu kewebetabijijepo.
8 Penepo bapita dya ku* Misha batūkila ku Toasa.
9 Ebiya bufuku, Polo wamona kimonwa—mwine Masedonya umo wimene kwine’kwa umuzenza’mba: “Abukila mu Masedonya witukwashe’ko.”
10 Aye upwa’tu kumona kimonwa’kya, twakimba kwenda mu Masedonya, twajingulula’mba i Leza wetwita tukebasapwile myanda miyampe.
11 Penepo twataluka ku Toasa lwa mema twaolokela swā ku Samofase, ino dya kesha twafika ku Neapodi;
12 twataluka kwine’kwa twaenda ku Fidipai,+ kibundi kitādilwe na Loma, kibundi kilēme kya mu kipindi kya ntanda ya Masedonya. Twashikata mu kino kibundi tumafuku.
13 Kadi mu dya Sabato twaenda panja pa kibelo dya ku munonga, kotwadi tulanga’mba ko kudi kifuko kya milombelo, twashikata ketwisambe na bana-bakaji badi bebungile’ko.
14 Mwana-mukaji umo wa dijina dya bu Didya, nsunga wa bityilakana wa mu kibundi kya Tyiataila+ kadi mutōtyi wa Leza, wadi uteja, Yehova* nandi wamushitula mutyima wandi bikatampe amba ate mutyima ku byadi binena Polo.
15 Aye ne ba mu njibo yandi pa kubatyijibwa,+ wetuzenza’mba: “Shi mubamone amba ne mukōkele Yehova,* iyai mwikale mu yami njibo.” Wetuningila’nka twende’ko.
16 Penepo byaikele namino potwadi twenda ku kifuko kya milombelo, twetana na mwingidi mwana-mukaji umo wadi na mushipiditu, ndemona wa lubuko.+ Wadi usokwelanga bamfumwandi lupeto lungi na bya bulumbu byandi.*
17 Uno mwana-mukaji wadi ulonda’nka kulonda Polo ne batwe koku wela mabila’mba: “Bano bantu i bapika ba Leza Mwine wa Peulu Mwine,+ kadi bemusapwilanga dishinda dya lupandilo.”
18 Wadi uloñanga namino mafuku mangi. Ku mfulo Polo wakōka’byo, wavundamuka kanena mushipiditu’wa amba: “Nakusoñanya mu dijina dya Yesu Kidishitu mutambe’mo.” Nao watamba’nka mu mine nsá’ya.+
19 Ino bamfumwandi pa kumona’mba lukulupilo lwabo lwa kumona lupeto lubapu,+ bakwata ba Polo ne Shilasa bebakokela mu nsoko kudi baledi.+
20 Bakebatwala kudi bandela-bantu, kebanena’mba: “Bano bantu bavutakanyanga kibundi kyetu bininge.+ I Bayuda,
21 kadi basapulanga bibidiji bitujidikilwe kwitabija nansha kulonga batwe bene Loma.”
22 Penepo kibumbo kyonso pamo kyebatombokela, bandela-bantu pa kupwa kwibapandamwina bivwalwa byabo, basoñanya bebakupile nsonde.+
23 Abo pa kupwa kwibakupila nsonde mingi, bebela mu kifungo, basoñanya mulami wa kifungo ebalame senene.+
24 Aye byaasoñanibwe nabya, webela mu kifungo kya munda, webakuta maulu mu bikulo.
25 Ino dya pa bukata bwa bufuku, ba Polo ne Shilasa badi balombela ne kutendela Leza na lwimbo,+ kadi bakutwa bakwabo badi bebevwene.
26 Ponkapo kwaikala kutenkana kukatampe kwa ntanda, enka ne byalwilo bya kifungo byatenkena. Ne kadi, bibelo byonso byashituka ponka na ponka, ne byobya byadi bikutyilwe muntu ne muntu byakutuluka.+
27 Mulami wa kifungo pa kubūka wamona’mba bibelo bya kifungo i bishitule, wasomona kipete kyandi kasake kwiipaya, mwanda walangile amba bakutwa abanyema.+
28 Ino Polo waela lubila na diwi dikatampe amba: “Kokelonga kibi, mwanda batwe bonso tudi’mo!”
29 Penepo walomba bimuni watwela’mo lubilo, koku uzakala, wapona ku meso a ba Polo ne Shilasa.
30 Waenda nabo panja kawibepangula’mba: “A bakelenge, le nonge namani mpande?”
31 Nabo bamulondolola’mba: “Itabija mudi Mfumwetu Yesu, nabya usa kupanda, abe ne ba mu njibo yobe.”+
32 Penepo bamusapwila mwanda wa Yehova* pamo ne bonso badi mu yandi njibo.
33 Webasela’nka mu mine nsá ya bufuku’ya wakebakenda bilonda. Kupwa aye ne ba mu njibo yandi bonso babatyijibwa bukidi bonka.+
34 Webatweja mu njibo yandi webādila meza, kadi wasangala bininge ne ba mu njibo yandi bonso kumo pano pawaitabija mudi Leza.
35 Abo pa kukya, bandela-bantu batuma bampulushi bamulombole amba: “Kutulula babo bantu’bo.”
36 Mulami wa kifungo wasapwila Polo byobanena, amba: “Bandela-bantu abatume bantu amba banwe bubidi mukutululwe. Shi ke pano, tambai mwiendele mu ndoe.”
37 Ino Polo webanena’mba: “Betukupile ku meso a bantu, kwampikwa kuponejibwa,* nansha byotudi bene Loma,+ kupwa betwela mu kifungo. Le pano kebasake kwitutambija mu bufyafya? Aa, kebibwanikapo! Bāye abo bene betutambije’mo.”
38 Bampulushi bakasapwila bandela-bantu ino myanda. Nabo bakwatwa moyo pa kwivwana’mba bano bantu i bene Loma.+
39 Penepa baiya kebebazenze, ebiya bebatambija panja, kupwa bebanena bataluke mu kibundi’kya.
40 Ino batamba mu kifungo baenda ku njibo ya Didya; kadi abo pa kumona banabetu, bebakankamika+ kupwa baenda.
