< Masengo 3 >
1 Lyuŵa limo, che Petulo ni che Yohana ŵaliji nkwaula pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu katema ka kupopela, saa tisa ja muusi.
NOW at that time Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth;
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.
when a certain man who was lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple called Beautiful, to ask alms of those who were entering into the temple;
3 Paŵaweni che Petulo ni che Yohana achisakaga kwinjila pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, ŵaŵendile kuti ŵaape chachilichose.
who seeing Peter and John just going into the temple, asked to receive alms.
4 Che Petulo ni che Yohana ŵankolondolele, nombe che Petulo wo ŵansalile, “Ntulolechesye uwe.”
Then Peter fixing his eves stedfastly on him with John, said, Look on us.
5 Nombejo ŵaalolechesye achilolelaga kuti chapochele chindu kutyochela kwa ŵanyawo.
So he attentively regarded them, 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.”
Then said Peter, I have neither silver nor gold; but what I have, that I give thee: By the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarean, arise, and walk!
7 Nipele ŵankamwile nkono wa kundyo ni kunjimika. Papopo makongolo ni malungo gakwe galimbile.
And taking him by the right hand, he raised him up: and immediately his feet and ancles were restored to strength.
8 Ŵagulwiche ni kwima ni kutanda kwenda. Ni ŵajinjile pamo nawo pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, achendaga ni gulukaguluka akuno achalapaga Akunnungu.
And springing up he stood on his feet, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9 Ŵandu wose paŵammweni achendaga ni kwalapa Akunnungu,
And all the people beheld 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.
and they took notice of him, that it was the same person who had sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with astonishment and amazed 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.”
But as the lame man that was cured held fast Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them into the portico called Solomon’s, in vast amazement.
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?
Then Peter observing it, addressed himself to the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why gaze ye upon us, as if by our own power or piety we had enabled this man to 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, and Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.
14 Jwelejo ŵaliji Jwanswela ni jwambone, nambo ŵanyamwe mwankanile, mwaŵendile che Pilato alechelelwe mundu jwine juŵaliji jwakuulaga.
But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and besought that a man, a murderer, might as a favour be given unto you;
15 Nipele, mwambuleje jwelejo juŵaliji ndandililo ja umi. Nambo Akunnungu ŵansyusisye ni uweji tuli ŵa umboni ŵa yeleyo iyakopochele.
but ye slew the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead: of which we are witnesses.
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.
And through faith in his name hath his name restored this man to strength, whom ye behold and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the sight of you all.
17 “Sambano achalongo achinjangu, naimanyi kuti ŵanyamwe ni achakulu ŵenu mwatesile yelei kwaligongo lya ungamanyilila wenu.
And now, brethren, I know that through ignorance ye did this deed, as did also your rulers.
18 Nambo kwanti yeleyo Akunnungu ŵamalichisye yeila yaisasile kalakala kwa kang'wa sya ŵakulondola wose kuti Kilisito chalagaswe.
But the things which God before announced by the mouth of all his prophets, that Messiah should suffer, he hath thus fulfilled.
19 Nipele, nleche sambi syenu, mwaujilile Akunnungu kuti annechelesye sambi syenu.
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when refreshing seasons shall come from the presence of the Lord;
20 Mwatendaga yeleyo chinjonjechekwe machili ga Mbumu kutyochela kwa Ambuje, nombewo chantume Che Yesu Kilisito aŵe Chiwombosyo kwa ligongo lyenu.
and he will send Jesus Christ, who was before preached unto 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 )
whom the heaven indeed must receive, until the times of restoration of all things, which God hath spoken of by the mouth of all his holy prophets from the beginning of the world. (aiōn )
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 truly said unto the fathers, “A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you from among your brethren, like myself; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall speak to you.
23 Ni mundu jwalijose jwangakumpilikanila jwakulondola jo chaŵichikwe pajika kutyochela mu ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu ni kuulajikwa.’
But it shall come to pass, that every soul which will not hearken to that prophet, shall be utterly exterminated from amidst the people.”
24 Elo, ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu wose, chitandile che Samweli ni ŵeŵala ŵaŵakuiye, ŵalalichile ngani sya yelei yaikukopochela mmoŵa gano.
And all the prophets indeed from Samuel, and those who succeeded him, as many as have spoken, have also foretold those 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.’
Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And “in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.”
26 Nipele, Akunnungu ŵansyusisye katumetume jwao ni kundanda, ŵantumile kukwenu kuti ampe upile ŵanyamwe kwa kuntenda jwalijose alekangane ni yangalumbana yakwe.”
Unto you in the first instance, hath God, after raising up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, to the end that every one of you should turn away from your iniquities.
