1 Lyuŵa limo, che Petulo ni che Yohana ŵaliji nkwaula pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu katema ka kupopela, saa tisa ja muusi.
One day Peter and John were going up to the Temple for the hour of prayer--the ninth hour--and, just then,
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.
some men were carrying there one who had been lame from birth, whom they were wont to place every day close to the Beautiful Gate (as it was called) of the Temple, for him to beg from the people as they went in.
3 Paŵaweni che Petulo ni che Yohana achisakaga kwinjila pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, ŵaŵendile kuti ŵaape chachilichose.
Seeing Peter and John about to go into the Temple, he asked them for alms.
4 Che Petulo ni che Yohana ŵankolondolele, nombe che Petulo wo ŵansalile, “Ntulolechesye uwe.”
Peter fixing his eyes on him, as John did also, said, "Look at us."
5 Nombejo ŵaalolechesye achilolelaga kuti chapochele chindu kutyochela kwa ŵanyawo.
So he looked and waited, 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.”
"I have no silver or gold," Peter said, "but what I have, I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene-- walk!"
7 Nipele ŵankamwile nkono wa kundyo ni kunjimika. Papopo makongolo ni malungo gakwe galimbile.
Then taking his hand Peter lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were strengthened.
8 Ŵagulwiche ni kwima ni kutanda kwenda. Ni ŵajinjile pamo nawo pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu, achendaga ni gulukaguluka akuno achalapaga Akunnungu.
Leaping up, he stood upright and began to walk, and went into the Temple with them, walking, leaping, and praising God.
9 Ŵandu wose paŵammweni achendaga ni kwalapa Akunnungu,
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.
and recognizing him as the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple asking for alms, they were filled with awe 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 he still clung to Peter and John, the people, awe-struck, ran up crowding round them in what was known as Solomon's Portico.
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?
Peter, seeing this, spoke to the people. "Israelites," he said, "why do you wonder at this man? Or why gaze at us, as though by any power or piety of our own we had enabled him 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, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our forefathers, has conferred this honour on His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and disowned in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to let Him go.
14 Jwelejo ŵaliji Jwanswela ni jwambone, nambo ŵanyamwe mwankanile, mwaŵendile che Pilato alechelelwe mundu jwine juŵaliji jwakuulaga.
Yes, you disowned the holy and righteous One, and asked as a favour the release of a murderer.
15 Nipele, mwambuleje jwelejo juŵaliji ndandililo ja umi. Nambo Akunnungu ŵansyusisye ni uweji tuli ŵa umboni ŵa yeleyo iyakopochele.
The Prince of Life you put to death; but God has raised Him from the dead, and we are witnesses as to that.
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.
It is His name-- faith in that name being the condition--which has strengthened this man whom you behold and know; and the faith which He has given has made this man sound and strong again, as you can all see.
17 “Sambano achalongo achinjangu, naimanyi kuti ŵanyamwe ni achakulu ŵenu mwatesile yelei kwaligongo lya ungamanyilila wenu.
"And now, brethren, I know that it was in ignorance that you did it, as was the case with your rulers also.
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 the declarations He made through all the Prophets, that His Christ would suffer.
19 Nipele, nleche sambi syenu, mwaujilile Akunnungu kuti annechelesye sambi syenu.
Repent, therefore, and reform your lives, so that the record of your sins may be cancelled, and that there may come seasons of revival from the Lord,
20 Mwatendaga yeleyo chinjonjechekwe machili ga Mbumu kutyochela kwa Ambuje, nombewo chantume Che Yesu Kilisito aŵe Chiwombosyo kwa ligongo lyenu.
and that He may send the Christ appointed beforehand for you--even Jesus.
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 receive Him until those times of which God has spoken from the earliest ages through the lips of His holy Prophets--the times of the reconstitution of all things. (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.
Moses declared, "'The Lord your God will raise up a Prophet for you from among your brethren as He has raised me. In all that He says to you, you must listen to Him.
23 Ni mundu jwalijose jwangakumpilikanila jwakulondola jo chaŵichikwe pajika kutyochela mu ŵandu ŵa Akunnungu ni kuulajikwa.’
And every one, without exception, who refuses to listen to that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the People.'
24 Elo, ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu wose, chitandile che Samweli ni ŵeŵala ŵaŵakuiye, ŵalalichile ngani sya yelei yaikukopochela mmoŵa gano.
Yes, and all the Prophets, from Samuel onwards--all who have spoken--have also announced the coming of this present time.
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.’
"You are the heirs of the Prophets, and of the Covenant which God made with your forefathers when He said to Abraham, 'And through your posterity all the families of the world shall be blessed.'
26 Nipele, Akunnungu ŵansyusisye katumetume jwao ni kundanda, ŵantumile kukwenu kuti ampe upile ŵanyamwe kwa kuntenda jwalijose alekangane ni yangalumbana yakwe.”
It is to you first that God, after raising His Servant from the grave, has sent Him to bless you, by causing every one of you to turn from your wickedness."
