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 as they spake unto 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 sore troubled because they taught the people, and proclaimed in 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 ward unto the morrow: for it was now eventide.
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 them that heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be 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 morrow, that their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in 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.
and Annas the high priest [was there], and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest.
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 set them in the midst, they inquired, By what power, or in what name, have ye done this?
8 Pelepo che Petulo ali aguumbele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, ŵajanjile, “Mwanya Ilongola ŵa ŵandu ni achachekulu!
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders,
9 Iŵaga lelo jino nkutuusya yankati chindu chambone chachitendekwe kwa mundu juŵaliji ngakwenda ni iyatite pakulama,
if we this day are examined concerning a good deed done to an impotent man, by what means this man is made whole;
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 unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, [even] in him doth this man stand here before you whole.
11 Che Yesu ni jwakungamba Mmalembelo Gamaswela gagakuti, ‘Liganga limwalikanile ŵanyamwe ŵakutaŵa, sambano lilyolyo litendekwe kuŵa liganga lyekulungwa lya nsingi wa nyuumba.’
He is the stone which was set at nought of you the builders, which was made the head of the corner.
12 Jwelejo jikape ni jwakukombola kwakulupusya ŵandu, pakuŵa pachilambo pose ngapagwa liina litupegwilwe lyalitukukombola kukulupuswa nalyo.”
And in none other is there salvation: for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein 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 beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
14 Nambo paŵambweni mundu juŵalamiswe jula ali ajimi pamo nawo, nganakola chakuŵecheta.
And seeing the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
15 Nipele, ŵalamwile che Petulo ni che Yohana ajaulangane paasa pa Nkungulu ni achakulu ŵa Nkungulu ŵasigalile nkati achiusyanaga achinsyene pe.
But when they had commanded them to go aside 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 to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been wrought through them, is manifest to all that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.
17 Nambo pakuti tusiŵile ikajenela nnope kwa ŵandu twajamuche kuti akaŵecheta ni mundu jwalijose kwa liina li Che Yesu.”
But that it spread no further among the people, let us threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no 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, and charged them not to speak at all nor 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 answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you rather than unto God, judge ye:
20 Pakuŵa ngatukombola kuleka kusala yeila itwiweni ni kuipilikana.”
for we cannot but speak the things which we saw 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 they, when they had further threatened them, let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people; for all men glorified God for that which was done.
22 Ni ajula mundu juŵalamiswe kwa litala lya chimanyisyo chi, ŵaliji jwampunde yaka alobaini.
For the man was more than forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was wrought.
23 Papopo che Petulo ni che Yohana paŵaagopwele ŵaiche kwa achinjao ni kwaŵalanjila yose iŵasalilwe ni ŵambopesi ni achachekulu.
And being let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said unto 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 they, when they heard it, lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, O Lord, thou that didst make the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that in them is:
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 by the Holy Ghost, [by] the mouth of our father David thy servant, didst say, Why did the Gentiles rage, And the peoples 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 in array, And the rulers were gathered 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 in this city against thy holy Servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together,
28 Elo, ŵasongangene kukutendekanya yeila imwaisachile chitandile kundanda ikopochele kwa ulamusi wenu.
to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel foreordained to come to pass.
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 unto thy servants to 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.”
while thou stretchest forth thy hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of thy holy Servant 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 was shaken wherein they were gathered together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake 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 them that believed were of one heart and soul: and not one [of them] said that aught of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
33 Kwa machili gamajinji achinduna ŵala ŵaŵalasile umboni wa kusyuka kwa Ambuje Che Yesu, nombe Akunnungu ŵapele upile weujinji.
And with great power gave the apostles their witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
34 Nganapagwa mundu jwalijose juŵasoŵilwe ni chachilichose, pakuŵa juŵakwete ngunda atamuno majumba ŵasumisyaga ni kwikanasyo mbiya,
For neither was there among them any that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
35 ni kwapa achinduna, nombewo ŵagaŵenye kwa jwalijose mpela yaikuti pakunsoŵa.
and laid them at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto each, according as any one 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 Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of exhortation), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,
37 Nombejo ŵakwete ngunda wakwe, ni ŵausumisye, ŵajigele mbiya syo ni kwapa achinduna.
having a field, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
