Machitidwe a Atumwi 5
1 Koma munthu wina dzina lake Hananiya, pamodzi ndi mkazi wake Safira, anagulitsanso munda wawo.
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold property,
2 Mogwirizana ndi mkazi wakeyo anapatulapo pa ndalamazo nazisunga, ndipo anatenga zotsalazo ndi kukapereka kwa atumwi.
and kept back from the price, his wife also having joint awareness. And having brought a certain part, he placed it at the apostles' feet.
3 Koma Petro anamufunsa kuti, “Hananiya, chifukwa chiyani Satana anadzaza chotere mu mtima wako kuti unamize Mzimu Woyera ndipo wapatula ndi kusunga ndalama?
But Peter said, Ananias, why did Satan fill thy heart for thee to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back from the price of the land?
4 Kodi sunali wako usanagulitse? Ndipo utagulitsa ndalamazo sizinali mʼmanja mwako kodi? Nʼchiyani chinakuchititsa zimenezi? Iwe sunanamize anthu koma Mulungu.”
While it remained, did it not remain to thee? And after it was sold, it was in thine authority. Why is it that thou have placed this matter in thy heart? Thou have not lied to men, but to God.
5 Hananiya atamva mawu amenewa anagwa pansi namwalira. Onse amene anamva zimene zinachitikazi anachita mantha kwambiri.
And Ananias hearing these words, after falling down he expired. And great fear developed in all who heard these things.
6 Kenaka anyamata anafika, nakulunga thupi lake, ndipo anamunyamula ndi kukamuyika mʼmanda.
And after rising the young men wrapped him, and having carried him out they buried him.
7 Patapita maora atatu mkazi wake analowa, wosadziwa zimene zinachitika.
And it came to pass after an interval of three hours, his wife also came in, not knowing that which happened.
8 Petro anamufunsa iye kuti, “Tandiwuza, kodi izi ndi ndalama zonse zimene iwe ndi Hananiya munalandira mutagulitsa munda?” Mkaziyo anati, “Inde ndi zimenezo.”
And Peter responded to her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yes, for so much.
9 Petro anati kwa iye, “Bwanji inu munapangana kuyesa Mzimu wa Ambuye? Taona! Anthu amene anakayika mwamuna wako mʼmanda ali pa khomo, ndipo adzakunyamula iwenso.”
But Peter said to her, How is it that it was agreed by you to challenge the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who buried thy husband are at the door, and they will carry thee out.
10 Nthawi yomweyo anagwa pansi pa mapazi a Petro ndipo anamwalira. Ndipo anyamata aja analowa, napeza kuti wafa kale, anamunyamula ndi kukamuyika pafupi ndi mwamuna wake.
And immediately she fell down at his feet and expired. And after coming in the young men found her dead, and having carried her out, they buried her by her husband.
11 Mpingo wonse ndi anthu onse amene anamva zimenezi anachita mantha kwambiri.
And great fear developed in the whole church, and in all who heard these things.
12 Atumwi anachita zizindikiro zodabwitsa ndi zozizwitsa zambiri pakati pa anthu. Ndipo onse okhulupirira ankasonkhana pamodzi mu Khonde la Solomoni.
And by the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders happened among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
13 Palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe analimba mtima kuphatikana nawo, ngakhale kuti anthu onse amawalemekeza kwambiri.
But of the rest no man dared join them, but the people magnified them.
14 Ngakhale zinali chotere, anthu ambiri anakhulupirira Ambuye ndipo amawonjezeredwa ku chiwerengero chawo.
And more who believe were added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women,
15 Chifukwa cha zimenezi, anthu anabweretsa odwala mʼmisewu ya mu mzinda nawagoneka pa mabedi ndi pa mphasa kuti chithunzi chokha cha Petro chikhudze ena mwa iwo iye akamadutsa.
so as to bring the feeble to the thoroughfares, and to place them on cots and mats, so that while coming, the shadow of Peter might at the least overshadow some of them.
16 Anthu ochuluka ochokera ku mizinda yayingʼono ozungulira Yerusalemu amasonkhananso atatenga odwala awo ndi iwo amene amasautsidwa ndi mizimu yoyipa ndipo onsewo amachiritsidwa.
And also the populace of the cities round about came together to Jerusalem bringing the feeble, and those tormented by unclean spirits, who were all healed.
17 Koma mkulu wa ansembe pamodzi ndi onse omuthandiza, amene anali a gulu la Asaduki, anachita nsanje.
But after rising up, the high priest and all those with him (being the sect of the Sadducees) were filled of envy.
18 Iwo anagwira atumwi ndi kuwatsekera mʼndende ya anthu wamba.
And they threw their hands on the apostles, and put them in the public prison.
19 Koma usiku mngelo wa Ambuye anatsekula zitseko za ndende ndi kuwatulutsa
But an agent of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and after leading them out, he said,
20 Mngeloyo anati, “Pitani, ku mabwalo a Nyumba ya Mulungu ndipo mukawuze anthu uthenga onse wamoyo watsopanowu.”
Go ye, and after standing in the temple, speak to the people all the sayings of this Life.
21 Kutacha mmawa, atumwi analowa mʼbwalo la mʼNyumba ya Mulungu, monga anawuzidwa ndipo anayamba kuphunzitsa anthu. Mkulu wa ansembe pamodzi ndi omuthandiza ake amene anali naye anafika, anayitanitsa msonkhano wa Bwalo Lalikulu, ndilo bwalo la akulu onse a Israeli. Anatuma alonda kuti akatenge atumwi aja kundende.
And having heard, they entered into the temple at early morning, and taught. But the high priest having arrived, and those with him, they called the council together, and all the senate of the sons of Israel. And they sent to the prison for them to be brought.
22 Koma alonda aja atafika kundende, sanawapezemo. Iwo anabwerera nakawafotokozera
But the subordinates who came did not find them in the prison. And having returned, they reported,
23 kuti, “Tinakapeza ndende ili chitsekere ndithu, ndi alonda atayimirira pa khomo, koma pamene tinatsekula zitseko, sitinapezemo munthu aliyense mʼkatimo.”
saying, We found the prison indeed shut in all security, and the guards standing before the doors, but after opening, we found no man inside.
24 Mkulu wa alonda a Nyumba ya Mulungu ndi akulu a ansembe atamva zimenezi anathedwa nzeru, osadziwa kuti zimenezi zidzatha bwanji.
Now when they heard these words, the high priest, and the captain of the temple, and the chief priests, were perplexed about them, whatever this would become.
25 Ndipo wina anabwera ndi kuti, “Taonani! Anthu aja amene munawatsekera mʼndende ali ku Nyumba ya Mulungu ndipo akuphunzitsa anthu.”
But a certain man who arrived, reported to them, Behold, the men whom ye put in the prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people.
26 Pamenepo mkulu wa alonda pamodzi ndi alonda anakawatenga atumwi. Sanakawatenge mwaukali, chifukwa amaopa kuti anthu angawaponye miyala.
Then after departing, the captain with the subordinates brought them, not with violence, for they feared the people, lest they would be stoned.
27 Atafika nawo atumwi aja, anawayimika pamaso pa Bwalo Lalikulu kuti afunsidwe mafunso ndi mkulu wa ansembe.
And having brought them, they placed them in the council. And the high priest demanded them,
28 Iye anati, “Ife tinakuletsani kuti musaphunzitsenso mʼdzina ili, koma inu mwadzaza Yerusalemu ndi chiphunzitso chanu, ndipo mukufuna kutisenzetsa imfa ya munthu ameneyu.”
saying, Did we not command by an order for you not to teach in this name? And behold, ye have filled Jerusalem of your doctrine, and intend to bring upon us this man's blood.
29 Petro ndi atumwi enawo anayankha kuti, “Ife tiyenera kumvera Mulungu osati anthu!
And Peter and the apostles having answered, they said, We must obey God rather than men.
30 Mulungu wa makolo athu anamuukitsa Yesu, amene inu munamupha pomupachika pa mtengo.
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye murdered, having hung on a tree.
31 Mulungu anamukweza Iye ku dzanja lake lamanja kukhala Mfumu ndi Mpulumutsi kuti Iye apatse Aisraeli mtima wolapa ndi chikhululukiro cha machimo.
God exalted this man with his right hand, a Pathfinder and a Savior to give repentance to Israel and remission of sins.
32 Ife ndife mboni za zimenezi, ndiponso Mzimu Woyera amene Mulungu anapereka kwa iwo akumvera Iye.”
And we are his witnesses of these things, and also the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.
33 Akuluakuluwo atamva zimenezi anakwiya kwambiri nafuna kuwapha.
And when they heard this, they were as being split with a saw, and wanted to annihilate them.
34 Koma Mfarisi wina dzina lake Gamalieli, mphunzitsi wa malamulo, amene anthu onse amamulemekeza, anayimirira ndi kulamula kuti atumwiwo ayambe apita panja.
But after standing up in the council, a certain Pharisee named Gamaliel, a law teacher, esteemed by all the people, commanded to make the apostles be outside a little while.
35 Ndipo iye anawuza bwalolo kuti, “Aisraeli, taganizani bwino, zimene mukufuna kuchita kwa anthu awa.
And he said to them, Men, Israelites, take heed to yourselves what ye are going to do against these men.
36 Pakuti masiku a mʼmbuyomu kunali Teuda amene anadzitchukitsa, ndipo anthu pafupifupi 400 anamutsatira. Iye anaphedwa ndipo omutsatira akewo anabalalitsidwa, zonse zinatheratu.
For before these days Theudas rose up saying himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, bonded themselves, who was killed. And all, as many as were persuaded by him, were dispersed and developed into nothing.
37 Pambuyo pake, nthawi ya kalembera kunalinso Yudasi wa ku Galileya, ndipo anatsogolera gulu la anthu amene anawukira, iyenso anaphedwa ndipo anthu ake onse anabalalitsidwa.
After this man Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of the registration, and drew a considerable crowd behind him. That man was also destroyed, and all, as many as were persuaded by him, were scattered.
38 Chifukwa chake pa nkhani iyi ndikuwuzani kuti, alekeni anthuwa ndipo aloleni apite! Pakuti ngati zimene akuganiza kapena kuchita ndi zochokera kwa munthu zidzalephera.
And now I say to you, keep away from these men, and let them go, because if the project or this work is from men, it will be overthrown,
39 Koma ngati ndi zochokera kwa Mulungu inu simudzatha kuwaletsa anthu awa: inu mwina muzapezeka kuti mukulimbana ndi Mulungu.”
but if it is from God, ye cannot overthrow it, and perhaps ye may be found to be fighting against God.
40 Akuluakulu enawo anavomerezana naye. Iwo anayitana atumwi aja ndipo anawakwapula kwambiri. Ndipo anawalamula kuti asayankhulenso mʼdzina la Yesu ndipo anawamasula.
And they were persuaded by him. And after summoning the apostles, having beat them, they commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.
41 Iwo anachoka ku Bwalo Lalikulu akukondwa chifukwa anayesedwa oyenera kunyozedwa chifukwa cha dzina la Yesu.
Indeed therefore they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to be treated shamefully for the name of Jesus.
42 Ndipo tsiku ndi tsiku, sanaleke kuphunzitsa ndi kulalikira mʼNyumba ya Mulungu komanso nyumba ndi nyumba, Uthenga Wabwino wa kuti Yesu ndi Khristu.
And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they ceased not teaching and preaching good news, Jesus, the Christ.
