Acts 8
1 aNaye Sauli alikuwepo pale, akiridhia kuuawa kwa Stefano.Kanisa Lateswa Na Kutawanyika
Siku ile kukatukia mateso makuu dhidi ya kanisa huko Yerusalemu, waumini wote isipokuwa mitume wakatawanyika, wakakimbilia Uyahudi na Samaria. 2 bWatu wacha Mungu wakamzika Stefano na kumwombolezea sana. 3 cLakini kwa habari ya Sauli alikuwa analiharibu kanisa, akiingia nyumba kwa nyumba, akiwaburuta wanawake na wanaume na kuwatupa gerezani.Filipo Ahubiri Injili Samaria
4 dKwa hiyo wale waliotawanyika wakalihubiri neno la Mungu kila mahali walipokwenda. 5 eFilipo akateremkia mji mmoja wa Samaria akawahubiria habari za Kristo ▼▼Kristo maana yake ni Masiya, yaani Aliyetiwa mafuta.
6Watu walipomsikia Filipo na kuona ishara na miujiza aliyofanya, wakasikiliza kwa bidii yale aliyosema. 7 gPepo wachafu wakawa wakiwatoka watu wengi huku wakipiga kelele na wengi waliopooza na viwete wakaponywa. 8Hivyo pakawa na furaha kuu katika mji huo. Simoni Mchawi
9 hBasi mtu mmoja jina lake Simoni alikuwa amefanya uchawi kwa muda mrefu katika mji huo akiwashangaza watu wote wa Samaria. Alijitapa kwamba yeye ni mtu mkuu, 10 inao watu wote wakubwa kwa wadogo wakamsikiliza na kumaka, wakisema “Mtu huyu ndiye uweza wa Mungu ujulikanao kama ‘Uweza Mkuu.’ ” 11Wakamfuata kwa sababu kwa muda mrefu alikuwa amewashangaza kwa uchawi wake. 12 jLakini watu walipomwamini Filipo alipohubiri habari njema za Ufalme wa Mungu na jina la Yesu Kristo, wakabatizwa wanaume na wanawake. 13 kSimoni naye akaamini na akabatizwa. Akamfuata Filipo kila mahali, akistaajabishwa na ishara kuu na miujiza aliyoiona.14 lBasi mitume waliokuwa Yerusalemu waliposikia kuwa Samaria wamelipokea neno la Mungu, wakawatuma Petro na Yohana waende huko. 15 mNao walipofika wakawaombea ili wampokee Roho Mtakatifu, 16 nkwa sababu Roho Mtakatifu alikuwa bado hajawashukia hata mmoja ila wamebatizwa tu katika jina la Bwana Yesu. 17 oNdipo Petro na Yohana wakaweka mikono yao juu ya wale waliobatizwa, nao wakapokea Roho Mtakatifu.
18Simoni alipoona kuwa watu wanapokea Roho Mtakatifu mitume walipoweka mikono juu yao, akataka kuwapa fedha 19akisema, “Nipeni na mimi uwezo huu ili kila mtu nitakayeweka mikono yangu juu yake apate kupokea Roho Mtakatifu.”
20 pPetro akamjibu, “Fedha yako na iangamie pamoja nawe, kwa sababu ulidhani unaweza kununua karama ya Mungu kwa fedha! 21 qWewe huna sehemu wala fungu katika huduma hii kwa kuwa moyo wako si mnyofu mbele za Mungu. 22 rKwa hiyo tubu kwa uovu huu wako na umwombe Bwana. Yamkini aweza kukusamehe mawazo uliyo nayo moyoni mwako. 23 sKwa maana ninaona kwamba wewe umejawa na uchungu na ni mfungwa wa dhambi.”
24 tNdipo Simoni akajibu, “Niombeeni kwa Bwana, ili hayo mliyosema lolote yasinitukie.”
25 uNao walipokwisha kutoa ushuhuda na kuhubiri neno la Bwana, wakarudi Yerusalemu wakihubiri Injili katika vijiji vingi vya Samaria.
Filipo Na Towashi Wa Kushi
26 vBasi malaika wa Bwana akamwambia Filipo, “Nenda upande wa kusini kwenye ile barabara itokayo Yerusalemu kuelekea Gaza ambayo ni jangwa.” 27 wHivyo akaondoka. Akiwa njiani akakutana na towashi wa Kushi, aliyekuwa afisa mkuu, mwenye mamlaka juu ya hazina zote za Kandake, Malkia wa Kushi. Huyu towashi alikuwa amekwenda Yerusalemu ili kuabudu, 28 xnaye akiwa njiani kurudi nyumbani alikuwa ameketi garini mwake akisoma kitabu cha nabii Isaya. 29 yRoho Mtakatifu akamwambia Filipo, “Nenda kwenye lile gari ukae karibu nalo.”30Ndipo Filipo akakimbilia lile gari na kumsikia yule mtu anasoma kitabu cha nabii Isaya. Filipo akamuuliza, “Je, unaelewa hayo usomayo?”
31 zYule towashi akasema, “Nitawezaje kuelewa mtu asiponifafanulia?” Hivyo akamkaribisha Filipo ili apande na kuketi pamoja naye.
32 aaHuyu towashi alikuwa anasoma fungu hili la Maandiko:
“Aliongozwa kama kondoo aendaye machinjoni,
kama mwana-kondoo anyamazavyo
mbele yake yule amkataye manyoya,
hivyo hakufungua kinywa chake.
33 abKatika kufedheheshwa kwake alinyimwa haki yake.
Nani awezaye kueleza juu ya kizazi chake?
Kwa maana maisha yake yaliondolewa
kutoka duniani.”
34Yule towashi akamuuliza Filipo, “Tafadhali niambie, nabii huyu anena habari zake mwenyewe au habari za mtu mwingine?” 35 acNdipo Filipo akaanza kutumia fungu lile la Maandiko, akamweleza habari njema za Yesu.
36 adWalipokuwa wakiendelea na safari wakafika mahali palipokuwa na maji, yule towashi akamuuliza Filipo, “Tazama, hapa kuna maji. Kitu gani kitanizuia nisibatizwe?” [ 37 aeFilipo akamwambia, “Kama ukiamini kwa moyo wako wote unaweza kubatizwa.” Akajibu, “Naamini kuwa Yesu Kristo ni Mwana wa Mungu.”] 38Naye akaamuru lile gari lisimamishwe. Wakateremka kwenye maji wote wawili, yule towashi na Filipo, naye Filipo akambatiza. 39 afNao walipopanda kutoka kwenye maji, ghafula Roho wa Bwana akamnyakua Filipo, naye towashi hakumwona tena, lakini akaenda zake akifurahi. 40 agFilipo akajikuta yuko Azoto, akasafiri akihubiri Injili katika miji yote mpaka alipofika Kaisaria.
