Masengo 4
1 Che Petulo ni che Yohana paŵaliji nkukunguluka ni ŵandu, ŵaiche ŵambopesi ni jwankulu jwa ŵakulindilila Nyuumba ja Akunnungu pamo ni Masadukayo.
While they were speaking to the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them,
2 Ŵatumbile nnope pakuŵa achinduna ŵala ŵaajiganyaga ŵandu kuti Che Yesu ŵasyuchile, chindu chachikulosya pangasisa kuti ŵandu ŵawile chachisyuka.
being vexed because they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
3 Nipele ŵakamwile che Petulo ni che Yohana, ŵaŵisile mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa mpaka malaŵi jakwe, pakuŵa chaŵandichile chilo.
And they laid hands on them, and put them in prison till the next day, for it was already evening.
4 Nambo ŵajinji mwa ŵelewo ŵaŵapilikanile utenga u che Petulo ni che Yohana ŵakulupilile, ni ŵandu ŵaŵakulupilile ŵajonjesyeche ŵaliji mpela achalume elufu tano.
But many of those who heard the word, believed: and the number of the men was about five thousand.
5 Malaŵi jakwe, achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi ni achachekulu ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa ŵasongangene pamo ku Yelusalemu.
And it came to pass, on the next day, that their rulers and elders and scribes,
6 Ŵachingangene nawo che Anasi Jwambopesi Jwankulu ni che Kayafa ni che Yohana ni che Alekisanda ni ŵaneŵane ŵaŵaliji ŵa lukosyo lwao Jwambopesi Jwankulu.
and Annas the chief priest, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the chief priest, met together in Jerusalem.
7 Ŵaajimiche che Petulo ni che Yohana paujo pao, ŵaausisye, “Ana ŵanyamwe ntesile chelechi kwa machili chi ni kwa ulamusi wa acheni?”
And when they had made them stand in the midst, they asked: By what power, or by what name have you done this?
8 Pelepo che Petulo ali aguumbele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, ŵajanjile, “Mwanya Ilongola ŵa ŵandu ni achachekulu!
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
9 Iŵaga lelo jino nkutuusya yankati chindu chambone chachitendekwe kwa mundu juŵaliji ngakwenda ni iyatite pakulama,
if we are this day examined with respect unto the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he has been saved,
10 nipele, ŵanyamwe ni ŵandu wose ŵa ku Isilaeli nkusachilwa kumanyilila kuti mundu ju akwima paujo penu lelo jino, alamiswe kwa machili ga liina li Che Yesu Kilisito jwa ku Nasaleti jumwaŵambile pansalaba, nambo Akunnungu ŵansyusisye.
be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him does this man stand before you in health.
11 Che Yesu ni jwakungamba Mmalembelo Gamaswela gagakuti, ‘Liganga limwalikanile ŵanyamwe ŵakutaŵa, sambano lilyolyo litendekwe kuŵa liganga lyekulungwa lya nsingi wa nyuumba.’
This is the stone that was rejected with contempt by you builders, which has become the head of the corner.
12 Jwelejo jikape ni jwakukombola kwakulupusya ŵandu, pakuŵa pachilambo pose ngapagwa liina litupegwilwe lyalitukukombola kukulupuswa nalyo.”
And there is salvation in no other; nor, indeed, is there another name under heaven, given among men, by which we must be saved.
13 Achakulu ŵa Nkungulu wo ŵaimanyilile kuti che Petulo ni che Yohana ŵaliji ŵanduŵandupe ni ŵandu ŵangasyoma, nipele ŵasimosile nnope kuwona iŵatite pakwanga pangali lipamba, ŵaimanyilile kuti ŵaliji pamo ni Che Yesu.
Now, when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and plain men, they were astonished; and they also recognized them, that they had been with Jesus;
14 Nambo paŵambweni mundu juŵalamiswe jula ali ajimi pamo nawo, nganakola chakuŵecheta.
and, seeing the man who had been cured standing with them, they had nothing to say in reply.
15 Nipele, ŵalamwile che Petulo ni che Yohana ajaulangane paasa pa Nkungulu ni achakulu ŵa Nkungulu ŵasigalile nkati achiusyanaga achinsyene pe.
But, having commanded them to go aside out of the Sanhedrim, they consulted with one another,
16 Ni ŵausyene, “Twatende ichichi ŵandu ŵa? Pakuŵa wose ŵakutama mu Yelusalemu akumanyilila chenene kuti atesile chimanyisyo chachikulungwa ni uweji ngatukukombola kukanila.
saying: What shall we do with these men? For that an evident sign has been done by them, is manifest to all that dwell in Jerusalem, and we can not deny it.
17 Nambo pakuti tusiŵile ikajenela nnope kwa ŵandu twajamuche kuti akaŵecheta ni mundu jwalijose kwa liina li Che Yesu.”
But that it may spread no further among the people, let us severely threaten them, so that they speak no more to any man in this name.
18 Nipele ilongola ŵaaŵilasile sooni nkati ni kwakanya kuti anaŵechete sooni pelanga, atamuno kwiganya mu liina li Che Yesu.
And they called them in, and commanded them to speak no more at all, nor to teach, in the name of Jesus.
19 Nambo che Petulo ni che Yohana ŵaajanjile ŵanyawo, “Iŵaga ili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu kunchimbichisyanga ŵanyamwe kupunda Akunnungu, nlamule mwachinsyene.
But Peter and John answering them, said: Whether it is right in the sight of God to obey you rather than God, judge you.
20 Pakuŵa ngatukombola kuleka kusala yeila itwiweni ni kuipilikana.”
For we can not but speak the things that we have seen and heard.
21 Nipele achakulu ŵa Nkungulu wo ŵaakanyisye sooni che Petulo ni che Yohana kwa kalipa nnope ni kwagopola. Nganakombolanga kwajamuka pakuŵa ŵandu wose ŵaliji nkwakusya Akunnungu kwaligongo lya chichatendekwe cho.
And when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing for which they could punish them, because of the people; for they all glorified God on account of that which had been done;
22 Ni ajula mundu juŵalamiswe kwa litala lya chimanyisyo chi, ŵaliji jwampunde yaka alobaini.
for the man on whom this sign of healing had been performed was more than forty years old.
23 Papopo che Petulo ni che Yohana paŵaagopwele ŵaiche kwa achinjao ni kwaŵalanjila yose iŵasalilwe ni ŵambopesi ni achachekulu.
And having been released, they went to their own, and told all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.
24 Ŵanyawo paŵajipilikene ngani jo, kwa ntima umo ŵaapopelele Akunnungu achitiji, “Ambuje, alakwe ni jumwagumbile kwinani ni chilambo ni bahali ni indu yose yaili mwelemo!
And when they heard it, they lifted up their voice with one consent to God, and said: Lord, thou art God, who didst make the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all things that are in them; who, by the mouth of David thy servant, didst say,
25 Mwaŵechete kwa litala lya Mbumu jwa Akunnungu kwa kang'wa ja katumetume jwenu che Daudi atati ŵetu, ‘Ana kwachichi ŵandu ŵa ilambo ine atumbile? Ana kwachichi ŵandu akuganisya yangalimate?
Why did the heathen rage, and the people devise vain things?
26 Mamwenye ŵa ilambo aliŵichile chile, ni achakulu asongangene pamo, kuti ŵakanile Ambuje, ni Kilisito jwao juŵansagwile.’
The kings of the land stood up, and the rulers met together against the Lord and against his anointed.
27 “Pakuŵa, kusyene che Helode ni che Pontio Pilato ni ŵandu ŵa ku Isilaeli pamo ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, ŵasongangene papapa pa musi, kunkanila Che Yesu katumetume jwenu jwanswela jumunsagwile aŵe Kilisito.
For, in truth, against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, did meet together,
28 Elo, ŵasongangene kukutendekanya yeila imwaisachile chitandile kundanda ikopochele kwa ulamusi wenu.
to do whatever thy hand and thy counsel determined to be done.
29 Nambo, alakwe Ambuje, nnole sambano kutujogoya kwao. Ntukombolechesye uweji achikapolo ŵenu kulalichila liloŵe lyenu pangajogopa.
And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and grant to thy servants that they may speak thy word with all boldness,
30 Ngolosye nkono wenu mwalamye ŵandu ni kutendekanya imanyisyo ni yakusimonjeka kwa ulamusi u Che Yesu Katumetume jwenu Jwanswela.”
by stretching out thy hand to heal, that both signs and wonders may be done through the name of thy holy child Jesus.
31 Paŵamalisisye kupopela, peuto paŵasongangene pala patenganiche, ni wose ŵagumbele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni ŵajendelechele kulalichila liloŵe lya Akunnungu pangali lipamba.
And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke the word of God with boldness.
32 Ni mpingo wa ŵelewo ŵakukulupilila waliji ni ntima umo ni nningwa umo. Ni nganapagwa mundu juŵatite kuti iŵakwete yo yakwe nsyene, nambo ŵagaŵene yose iŵakwete.
And the multitude of believers were of one heart and of one soul; and no one said that any part of his possessions was his own; but they had all things in common.
33 Kwa machili gamajinji achinduna ŵala ŵaŵalasile umboni wa kusyuka kwa Ambuje Che Yesu, nombe Akunnungu ŵapele upile weujinji.
And with great power did the apostles bear testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was on them all.
34 Nganapagwa mundu jwalijose juŵasoŵilwe ni chachilichose, pakuŵa juŵakwete ngunda atamuno majumba ŵasumisyaga ni kwikanasyo mbiya,
Nor, indeed, was there any needy person among them; for as many as were owners of lands or houses, sold them, and brought the prices of what had been sold,
35 ni kwapa achinduna, nombewo ŵagaŵenye kwa jwalijose mpela yaikuti pakunsoŵa.
and laid them down at the feet of the apostles; and distribution was made to every one as he had need.
36 Ni kwaliji ni Mlawi, juŵapagwile ku Kupulo, liina lyakwe che Yusufu, ni achinduna ŵala ŵammilasile che Banaba, malumbo gakwe, “Mundu jwakwatulasya ŵandu mitima.”
And Joses, who, by the apostles, was surnamed Barnabas, (which name, when translated, is, Son of consolation, ) a Levite, by birth a Cyprian,
37 Nombejo ŵakwete ngunda wakwe, ni ŵausumisye, ŵajigele mbiya syo ni kwapa achinduna.
having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
