Masengo 4
1 Che Petulo ni che Yohana paŵaliji nkukunguluka ni ŵandu, ŵaiche ŵambopesi ni jwankulu jwa ŵakulindilila Nyuumba ja Akunnungu pamo ni Masadukayo.
And while they were speaking to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple guard, 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 grieved that they taught the people, and announced, 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 committed them into custody to the next day; for it was now 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 had 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 the next day their rulers, elders, and scribes, gathered together at Jerusalem:
6 Ŵachingangene nawo che Anasi Jwambopesi Jwankulu ni che Kayafa ni che Yohana ni che Alekisanda ni ŵaneŵane ŵaŵaliji ŵa lukosyo lwao Jwambopesi Jwankulu.
both Annas, the high priest, and Caiaphas; also John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the high priest's kindred.
7 Ŵaajimiche che Petulo ni che Yohana paujo pao, ŵaausisye, “Ana ŵanyamwe ntesile chelechi kwa machili chi ni kwa ulamusi wa acheni?”
And having set them in the midst, they inquired, By what power, or in what name, have you done this?
8 Pelepo che Petulo ali aguumbele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, ŵajanjile, “Mwanya Ilongola ŵa ŵandu ni achachekulu!
Then Peter, full of 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 about the benefit conferred on the impotent man, by what means he is healed;
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 through the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God has raised from the dead: yes, by HIM this man stands before you hale.
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 which was set at nought by you builders, that is 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; for there is no other name under heaven given among men, by which we can 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 understood that they were illiterate men, and in private stations in life, they were astonished, and recollected their having been with Jesus.
14 Nambo paŵambweni mundu juŵalamiswe jula ali ajimi pamo nawo, nganakola chakuŵecheta.
And seeing the man that was cured standing with them, they had nothing to say against it.
15 Nipele, ŵalamwile che Petulo ni che Yohana ajaulangane paasa pa Nkungulu ni achakulu ŵa Nkungulu ŵasigalile nkati achiusyanaga achinsyene pe.
But having ordered them to withdraw out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
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 indeed a signal miracle has been wrought by them, is manifest to all the inhabitants of 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.”
Nevertheless, that it may not spread any further among the people, let us charge them, with the severest threats, to 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 having called them, they charged them neither to speak nor teach any more 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 be just 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 which 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 having threatened them again, they dismissed them, on account of the people, finding nothing for which they might punish them; because all the people glorified God for that which was done;
22 Ni ajula mundu juŵalamiswe kwa litala lya chimanyisyo chi, ŵaliji jwampunde yaka alobaini.
for the man on whom this miracle of healing was wrought, 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 being dismissed, they came to their own company, and related 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 accord to God, and said, Lord, thou art the God who didst make heaven and earth; and the sea, and all things that are in them:
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?
who didst say by the mouth of thy servant David, "Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?
26 Mamwenye ŵa ilambo aliŵichile chile, ni achakulu asongangene pamo, kuti ŵakanile Ambuje, ni Kilisito jwao juŵansagwile.’
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers combined 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 of a truth, against thy holy Son Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the heathen, and the people of Israel,
28 Elo, ŵasongangene kukutendekanya yeila imwaisachile chitandile kundanda ikopochele kwa ulamusi wenu.
have combined to do what thy hand and thy counsel marked out before to be done.
29 Nambo, alakwe Ambuje, nnole sambano kutujogoya kwao. Ntukombolechesye uweji achikapolo ŵenu kulalichila liloŵe lyenu pangajogopa.
And now, O Lord, regard their threatenings; and give to thy servants to speak thy word with all freedom;
30 Ngolosye nkono wenu mwalamye ŵandu ni kutendekanya imanyisyo ni yakusimonjeka kwa ulamusi u Che Yesu Katumetume jwenu Jwanswela.”
whilst thou stretchest out thy hand to heal, and signs and wonders are doing through the name of thy holy Son Jesus.
31 Paŵamalisisye kupopela, peuto paŵasongangene pala patenganiche, ni wose ŵagumbele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni ŵajendelechele kulalichila liloŵe lya Akunnungu pangali lipamba.
And while they were praying, the place in which they were assembled was shaken: and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with freedom.
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.
Now the heart and soul of the multitude of believers was one: nor did any one call any of his possessions his own; but all things were common among them.
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 give forth their testimony concerning the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great kindness was among them all.
34 Nganapagwa mundu jwalijose juŵasoŵilwe ni chachilichose, pakuŵa juŵakwete ngunda atamuno majumba ŵasumisyaga ni kwikanasyo mbiya,
Neither was there one indigent person among them; for as many as were proprietors of lands or houses, sold them, and brought the price of the things they sold,
35 ni kwapa achinduna, nombewo ŵagaŵenye kwa jwalijose mpela yaikuti pakunsoŵa.
and laid it down at the feet of the Apostles: and distribution was made to each according to his 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 being interpreted, signifies a Son of Exhortation, ) a Levite, and by birth a Cyprian,
37 Nombejo ŵakwete ngunda wakwe, ni ŵausumisye, ŵajigele mbiya syo ni kwapa achinduna.
having an estate, sold it, and brought the money and laid it down at the feet of the Apostles.
