Masengo 5
1 Jwapali mundu jumo jwakuŵilanjikwa che Anania pamo ni ŵankwakwe che Safila, nombewo iyoyo peyo ŵasumisye ngunda wao.
But a certain man named Ananias, with Saphira his wife, sold a piece of land,
2 Nambo che Anania ŵasapwile mbiya siŵapatile ni kusisa akuno ŵankwakwe ali nkumanyilila yeleyo ni sine ŵapelechele achinduna ŵala.
And by fraud kept back part of the price of the land, his wife being privy thereunto: and bringing a certain part of it, laid it at the feet of the apostles.
3 Nipele che Petulo ŵammusisye, “Che Anania, kwaligongo chi nkunneka Shetani ajinjile mu ntima mwenu ni kuntenda munnambusye Mbumu jwa Akunnungu kwa kusisa mbiya simwapatile pamwasumisye ngunda ula?
But Peter said: Ananias, why hath Satan tempted thy heart, that thou shouldst lie to the Holy Ghost, and by fraud keep part of the price of the land?
4 Pamwaliji ngannasumisye, ngunda wo waliji wenu ni pamwasumisye ngunda wo, mbiya simwapatile syo syaliji syenu, nkakombwele kupanganyichisya kwa yaili yose imwaisachile. Ana kwachichi mwasachile mu ntima mwenu kuchitendekanya chelechi? Nganimunlambusya mundu nambo mwalambwisye Akunnungu!”
Whilst it remained, did it not remain to thee? and after it was sold, was it not in thy power? Why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God.
5 Che Anania nkupilikana pe yeleyo, ŵagwile paasi ni kuwa. Ŵandu wose ŵaŵapilikene ngani jo ŵakamwilwe ni lipamba kwannope.
And Ananias hearing these words, fell down, and gave up the ghost. And there came great fear upon all that heard it.
6 Achachanda ŵajimi ni kuchiŵilijila saanda chiilu chakwe, ŵankopwesye paasa ni kwaula kukunsika.
And the young men rising up, removed him, and carrying him out, buried him.
7 Nti masaa gatatu ŵankwakwe ŵajinjile nkati pangaimanyilila indu iyatyochele.
And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
8 Nipele che Petulo ŵambusisye, “Musalile! Ana syelesi ni mbiya syose simwapatile kwa kusumisya ngunda wenu mmwe ni ŵankwenu?” Che Safila ŵajanjile, “Elo, kwa syele mbiya syo.”
And Peter said to her: Tell me, woman, whether you sold the land for so much? And she said: Yea, for so much.
9 Che Petulo ŵansalile, “Ligongo chi mmwe ni ŵankwenu mwajilene kunlinga Mbumu jwa Ambuje? Nnole! Aŵala ŵandu ŵaŵajawile kukunsika ŵankwenu, sambano ali pannango, ni sooni chanjigale nomweji ŵakwe.”
And Peter said unto her: Why have you agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold the feet of them who have buried thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee out.
10 Papopo che Safila ŵagwile paasi, mmbujo mwa che Petulo ni kuwa. Achachanda ŵala paŵajinjile ŵansimene ali awile, nipele ŵankopwesye paasa ni kunsika chiŵandika ni ŵankwakwe.
Immediately she fell down before his feet, and gave up the ghost. And the young men coming in, found her dead: and carried her out, and buried her by her husband.
11 Mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wose ni ŵandu wose ŵaŵapilikene ngani jo ŵakamwilwe ni lipamba lyelikulungwa.
And there came great fear upon the whole church, and upon all that heard these things.
12 Achinduna ŵala ŵapanganyisye imanyisyo yejinji ni yakusimonjeka pasikati ja ŵandu ŵala. Ŵakukulupilila ŵala ŵachinganganaga pamo pansana u che Selemani wauli pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu.
And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.
13 Ni nganapagwa mundu jwalijose mwa ŵangakunkulupilila Kilisito juŵalinjile kuwanganyikana nawo. Nambo ŵandu ŵane mwa ŵangakunkulupilila Kilisito wo ŵalapile ŵakukulupilila ŵala.
But of the rest no man durst join himself unto them; but the people magnified them.
14 Winji wa ŵandu ŵaŵakulupilile Ambuje wapundaga konjecheka nnope achalume ni achakongwe,
And the multitude of men and women who believed in the Lord, was more increased:
15 namose ŵandu ŵajausyaga ŵakulwala mwitala ni kwagoneka mu indanda ni mu igono kuti apitaga che Petulo atamuno chiwilili chao chaichilile ŵampepe ŵao.
Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that when Peter came, his shadow at the least, might overshadow any of them, and they might be delivered from their infirmities.
16 Ŵandu ŵajinji kutyochela mmisi ja muumbali mwa Yelusalemu ŵaiche achajigalaga ŵakulwala ni ŵaali ni masoka, ni wose ŵalamiswe.
And there came also together to Jerusalem a multitude out of the neighboring cities, bringing sick persons, and such as were troubled with unclean spirits; who were all healed.
17 Nipele Jwambopesi Jwankulu ni achinjakwe ŵaŵaliji ŵampingo wa Masadukayo ŵaŵatemi pelepo, ŵaakolele wiu achinduna ŵala.
Then the high priest rising up, and all they that were with him, (which is the heresy of the Sadducees, ) were filled with envy.
18 Nipele, ŵakamwile achinduna ni kwaŵika mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ja ŵandu achajinji.
And they laid hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
19 Nambo chilo katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje ŵajiugwile minango ja nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ni ŵakopwesye paasa ni kwasalila,
But an angel of the Lord by night opening the doors of the prison, and leading them out, said:
20 “Njaulanje nkajime pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu nkaasalile ŵandu maloŵe gose ga umi wa sambano wu.”
Go, and standing speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
21 Achinduna ŵala ŵajitichisye, kundaŵi pe ŵajinjilenje pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ni kutanda kwiganya. Jwambopesi Jwankulu ni achinjakwe paŵaiche, ŵaaŵilasile achachekulu ŵa Ŵaisilaeli ni kutama nawo Nkungulu wekulungwa. Ni ŵalajisye ŵandu ku nyuumba jakutaŵilwa kuti akaajigale achinduna ŵala.
Who having heard this, early in the morning, entered into the temple, and taught. And the high priest coming, and they that were with him, called together the council, and all the ancients of the children of Israel; and they sent to the prison to have them brought.
22 Nambo ŵakulindilila ŵala paŵaiche mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa, nganiŵasimana achinduna ŵala. Nipele ŵausile pa Nkungulu ni kwasalila ngani jo
But when the ministers came, and opening the prison, found them not there, they returned and told,
23 achitiji, “Tujisimene nyuumba jakutaŵilwa jajiugale mbande syose ni ŵakulindilila achilindililaga mminango. Nambo patwaugwile nganitunsimana mundu jwalijose nkati.”
Saying: The prison indeed we found shut with all diligence, and the keepers standing before the doors; but opening it, we found no man within.
24 Jwankulu jwa ŵakulindilila Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ni Achakulu Ŵambopesi paŵapilikene ngani jo ŵajinjilwe ni lipamba, nganaimanyilila iyasimene achinduna ŵa Che Yesu.
Now when the officer of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt concerning them, what would come to pass.
25 Nipele ŵaiche mundu ni kwasalila, “Ŵandu umwaŵisile mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ŵala, sambano ali pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu achajiganyaga ŵandu.”
But one came and told them: Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple standing, and teaching the people.
26 Nipele jwankulu jwa ŵakulindilila Nyuumba ja Akunnungu pamo ni achinjakwe ŵajawile ku Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ni kwajigala achinduna ni kwaikanawo pa Nkungulu. Nambo nganiŵakamula kwa machili pakuŵa ŵajogopaga kuti ŵandu chachaponya maganga.
Then went the officer with the ministers, and brought them without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.
27 Nipele ŵaajigele achinduna ni kwajimika paujo pa Nkungulu. Jwambopesi Jwankulu ŵasalile ŵanyawo,
And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,
28 “Twannekasisye kwamachili kuti nkajiganya sooni kwa liina lya mundu ju, ni sambano nnole chintesile, njenesye majiganyo genu mu Yelusalemu mose ni sooni nkusaka kutulalatila nkati chiwa cha mundu ju.”
Saying: Commanding we commanded you, that you should not teach in this name; and behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and you have a mind to bring the blood of this man upon us.
29 Pelepo che Petulo pamo ni achinduna achinjakwe ŵajanjile, “Ikutuŵajila kwapilikanichisya Akunnungu, ngaŵa ŵandu.
But Peter and the apostles answering, said: We ought to obey God, rather than men.
30 Akunnungu ŵa achambuje ŵetu ŵansyusisye Che Yesu ajula jumwammuleje kwa kwaŵamba pansalaba.
The God of our fathers hath raised up Jesus, whom you put to death, hanging him upon a tree.
31 Jweleju ni jwejula jwakwesiswe ni Akunnungu mpaka kundyo kwao aŵe Chilongola ni Nkulupusyo kuti ŵakamuchisye Ŵaisilaeli aleche sambi syao nombejo ŵalechelesye sambi syao.
Him hath God exalted with his right hand, to be Prince and Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.
32 Noweji tuli ŵaumboni ŵa yeleyo pamo ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵaŵapele aŵala ŵakwajitichisya Akunnungu.”
And we are witnesses of these things and the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to all that obey him.
33 Mpingo wose wa Nkungulu paŵapilikene yeleyo, yachimile nnope ni ŵasachile kwaulaga achinduna ŵala.
When they had heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they thought to put them to death.
34 Nambo Mfalisayo jumo jwakuŵilanjikwa che Gamalieli juŵaliji jwakwiganya jwa Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa juŵachimbichikwe nnope ni ŵandu wose, ŵajimi paujo pa Nkungulu wa Ŵayahudi ni kulamula kwakoposya paasa achinduna ŵala kwa katema kakajipi.
But one in the council rising up, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, respected by all the people, commanded the men to be put forth a little while.
35 Ni kuusalila mpingo wa Nkungulu ula, “Ŵanyamwe Ŵaisilaeli achinjangu, nlilolechesye mwachinsyene nkanaŵe kupanganya inkwisaka kwapanganyichisya ŵandu ŵa!
And he said to them: Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do, as touching these men.
36 Kalakala kanandi kwakopochele mundu jumo liina lyakwe che Seuda, achilitendaga jwankulu ni ŵandu mpela mia nne ŵankuiye. Nambo jwelejo ŵaulajikwe ni ŵaŵankulupililaga wose ŵapwilingene ni ngani jakwe jamalile.
For before these days rose up Theodas, affirming himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all that believed him were scattered, and brought to nothing.
37 Ni sooni kanyuma mundu jo, pa moŵa ga kuŵalanga ŵandu gala ŵatyochele che Yuda jwa ku Galilaya. Nombe ju ŵaachisisye ŵandu ŵajinji ni ŵankuiye, nambo jwelejo nombe ŵaulajikwe ni ŵanawose ŵaŵankulupililaga ŵapwilingene.
After this man, rose up Judas of Galilee, in the days of the enrolling, and drew away the people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as consented to him, were dispersed.
38 Ni sambano ngunsalila ŵanyamwe, nkaatenda chachili chose ŵandu ŵa, mwaleche! Pakuŵa iŵaga liloŵe li atamuno masengo ga gali ga ŵandu, chigaweseche.
And now, therefore, I say to you, refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this council or this work be of men, it will come to nought;
39 Nambo iŵaga masengo ga gakutyochela kwa Akunnungu nsyene, ngaŵa kuti chinnepele pe, nambo chimmoneche nti nkwakanila Akunnungu.” Nipele ŵandu wose ŵa Nkungulu ŵanjitichisye jwelejo.
But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow it, lest perhaps you be found even to fight against God. And they consented to him.
40 Nipele ŵaaŵilasile achinduna ŵala munkati, ŵalamwile kuti aputikwe mbokola ni kwajamuka kuti ngasaŵecheta sooni kwa liina li Che Yesu, ni ŵaalesile ajaulangane.
And calling in the apostles, after they had scourged them, they charged them that they should not speak at all in the name of Jesus; and they dismissed them.
41 Nipele achinduna ŵala ŵakopweche paasa Nkungulu ula ali nkusangalala nnope, pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵaiweni kuti aŵajilwe kujaluswa ligongo li Che Yesu.
And they indeed went from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were accounted worthy to suffer reproach for the name of Jesus.
42 Ni moŵa gose ŵapundile kwiganya ni kulalichila Ngani Jambone pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ni mmajumba ga ŵandu kuti Che Yesu ali Kilisito.
And every day they ceased not in the temple, and from house to house, to teach and preach Christ Jesus.
