Masengo 3
1 Lyuŵa limo, che Petulo ni che Yohana ŵaliji nkwaula pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu katema ka kupopela, saa tisa ja muusi.
One afternoon Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.
2 Katema ko ŵandu ŵanjigalaga mundu jumo jwangajenda chipagwile. Ŵandu wo ŵambikaga mundu jo lyuŵa ni lyuŵa pannango wa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu waukuŵilanjikwa “Nnango Wakusalala,” kuti aŵende chachilichose kwa ŵaŵajinjilaga pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu.
And a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those entering the temple courts.
3 Paŵaweni che Petulo ni che Yohana achisakaga kwinjila pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, ŵaŵendile kuti ŵaape chachilichose.
When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money.
4 Che Petulo ni che Yohana ŵankolondolele, nombe che Petulo wo ŵansalile, “Ntulolechesye uwe.”
Peter looked directly at him, as did John. “Look at us!” said Peter.
5 Nombejo ŵaalolechesye achilolelaga kuti chapochele chindu kutyochela kwa ŵanyawo.
So the man gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.
6 Nambo che Petulo ŵansalile, “Nganingola mbiya namuno sahabu, nambo chingwete cho chinampe. Kwa ulamusi u Che Yesu Kilisito jwa ku Nasaleti, njime njende.”
But Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk!”
7 Nipele ŵankamwile nkono wa kundyo ni kunjimika. Papopo makongolo ni malungo gakwe galimbile.
Taking him by the right hand, Peter helped him up, and at once the man’s feet and ankles were made strong.
8 Ŵagulwiche ni kwima ni kutanda kwenda. Ni ŵajinjile pamo nawo pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, achendaga ni gulukaguluka akuno achalapaga Akunnungu.
He sprang to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and leaping and praising God.
9 Ŵandu wose paŵammweni achendaga ni kwalapa Akunnungu,
When all the people saw him walking and praising God,
10 ŵaamanyilile kuti ali jwejula juŵatamaga pa Nnango Wakusalala wa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ni kuŵendaŵenda, ŵatojime ni kusimonga kwa chele chichasimene.
they recognized him as the man who used to sit begging at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
11 Jwejula mundu paŵaliji nkulongana ni che Petulo ni che Yohana, ŵandu wose ŵasimosile nnope ni kutanda kuutuchila pa nsana wauli pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu waukuŵilanjikwa, “Nsana u che Selemani.”
While the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were astonished and ran to them in the walkway called Solomon’s Colonnade.
12 Nipele, che Petulo paŵaiweni yeleyi ŵaasalile, “Ŵanyamwe Ŵaisilaeli, ana ligongo lyachi nkuchisimonga chachikopochele chi? Ana ligongo chi nkutulolechesya mpela uweji ni utuntesile mundu ju ajende kwa machili getu pane nkuganisya kuti uweji tuli ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu?
And when Peter saw this, he addressed the people: “Men of Israel, why are you surprised by this? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?
13 Akunnungu ŵa achatati ŵetu che Iblahimu ni che Isaka ni che Yakobo, ŵaakusisye Che Yesu katumetume jwao. Nambo ŵanyamwe mwankamwile kuti aulajikwe ni ŵanyamwe mwankanile paujo pa che Pilato, nachiŵamuno che Pilato ŵasachile kungopola.
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified His servant Jesus. You handed Him over and rejected Him before Pilate, even though he had decided to release Him.
14 Jwelejo ŵaliji Jwanswela ni jwambone, nambo ŵanyamwe mwankanile, mwaŵendile che Pilato alechelelwe mundu jwine juŵaliji jwakuulaga.
You rejected the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you.
15 Nipele, mwambuleje jwelejo juŵaliji ndandililo ja umi. Nambo Akunnungu ŵansyusisye ni uweji tuli ŵa umboni ŵa yeleyo iyakopochele.
You killed the Author of life, but God raised Him from the dead, and we are witnesses of the fact.
16 Kwa litala lya kulikulupilila liina li Che Yesu, liina li Che Yesu limpele machili mundu ju junkummona ni kummanyilila. Kwa kulikulupilila liina li Che Yesu kuntesile mundu ju alame mpela inkuti pakumbona.
By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know has been made strong. It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through Him that has given him this complete healing in your presence.
17 “Sambano achalongo achinjangu, naimanyi kuti ŵanyamwe ni achakulu ŵenu mwatesile yelei kwaligongo lya ungamanyilila wenu.
And now, brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders.
18 Nambo kwanti yeleyo Akunnungu ŵamalichisye yeila yaisasile kalakala kwa kang'wa sya ŵakulondola wose kuti Kilisito chalagaswe.
But in this way God has fulfilled what He foretold through all the prophets, saying that His Christ would suffer.
19 Nipele, nleche sambi syenu, mwaujilile Akunnungu kuti annechelesye sambi syenu.
Repent, then, and turn back, so that your sins may be wiped away,
20 Mwatendaga yeleyo chinjonjechekwe machili ga Mbumu kutyochela kwa Ambuje, nombewo chantume Che Yesu Kilisito aŵe Chiwombosyo kwa ligongo lyenu.
that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus, the Christ, who has been appointed for you.
21 Ikusachilwa ŵelewo asigale kwinani ko mpaka pichikaiche katema ka Akunnungu patatende indu yose kuŵa yasambano, mpela iŵatite pakusala kalakala kwa kang'wa sya ŵakulondola ŵakwe ŵaswela. (aiōn g165)
Heaven must take Him in until the time comes for the restoration of all things, which God announced long ago through His holy prophets. (aiōn g165)
22 Pakuŵa che Musa ŵatite, ‘Ambuje Akunnungu ŵenu channyichisye jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu mpela uneji, jwelejo chakopochele pasikati jenu ni ŵanyamwe nkusachilwa kumpilikanichisya yose ichansalile.
For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your brothers. You must listen to Him in everything He tells you.
23 Ni mundu jwalijose jwangakumpilikanila jwakulondola jo chaŵichikwe pajika kutyochela mu ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu ni kuulajikwa.’
Everyone who does not listen to Him will be completely cut off from among his people.’
24 Elo, ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu wose, chitandile che Samweli ni ŵeŵala ŵaŵakuiye, ŵalalichile ngani sya yelei yaikukopochela mmoŵa gano.
Indeed, all the prophets from Samuel on, as many as have spoken, have proclaimed these days.
25 Chilanga cha Akunnungu chatesile kwa litala lya ŵakulondola chili kwa ligongo lyenu ni ŵanyamwe ndi mu gele malangano gaatesile Akunnungu ni achambuje ŵenu, mpela iŵatite pakwasalila che Iblahimu kuti, ‘Kwa litala lya uŵelesi wenu ŵandu wose ŵa pachilambo chapegwe upile.’
And you are sons of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers when He said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all the families of the earth will be blessed.’
26 Nipele, Akunnungu ŵansyusisye katumetume jwao ni kundanda, ŵantumile kukwenu kuti ampe upile ŵanyamwe kwa kuntenda jwalijose alekangane ni yangalumbana yakwe.”
When God raised up His Servant, He sent Him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways.”
