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 Sapphira, his wife, sold an estate,
2 Nambo che Anania ŵasapwile mbiya siŵapatile ni kusisa akuno ŵankwakwe ali nkumanyilila yeleyo ni sine ŵapelechele achinduna ŵala.
and secreted a part of the price, his wife also, being privy to it: and bringing a certain part, he laid it down 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 has Satan filled your heart, that you should attempt to impose on the Holy Spirit, and to secrete a 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!”
While it remained, did it not continue yours? and when it was sold, was it not at your own disposal? Why have you admitted this thing into your heart? You have 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 expired: and great fear fell on all that heard these things.
6 Achachanda ŵajimi ni kuchiŵilijila saanda chiilu chakwe, ŵankopwesye paasa ni kwaula kukunsika.
Then the young men arose, and bound him up, and carrying him out, they buried him.
7 Nti masaa gatatu ŵankwakwe ŵajinjile nkati pangaimanyilila indu iyatyochele.
After the interval of about three hours, his wife, also, not knowing what was done, 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 whether you sold the land for so much. And she said, Yes, 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.”
Then Peter said to her, How is it that you have conspired together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold the feet of those who have been burying your husband are at the door, and they shall carry you 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.
And immediately she fell down at his feet, and expired: 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 great fear came on all the assembly, and on 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 many signs and wonders were done among the people by the hands of the Apostles, (and they were all unanimously in Solomon's portico;
13 Ni nganapagwa mundu jwalijose mwa ŵangakunkulupilila Kilisito juŵalinjile kuwanganyikana nawo. Nambo ŵandu ŵane mwa ŵangakunkulupilila Kilisito wo ŵalapile ŵakukulupilila ŵala.
and not one of the rest presumed to join himself to them, but the people magnified them:
14 Winji wa ŵandu ŵaŵakulupilile Ambuje wapundaga konjecheka nnope achalume ni achakongwe,
and believers were more and more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women: )
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 along the streets they brought out the sick, and laid them on beds, and couches, that even the shadow of Peter, coming by, might overshadow some of them.
16 Ŵandu ŵajinji kutyochela mmisi ja muumbali mwa Yelusalemu ŵaiche achajigalaga ŵakulwala ni ŵaali ni masoka, ni wose ŵalamiswe.
And multitudes also, out of the cities round about, came together to Jerusalem, bringing the sick, and those that 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.
But the high priest arising, and all they that were him, being the sect of the Sadducees, were filled with zeal,
18 Nipele, ŵakamwile achinduna ni kwaŵika mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ja ŵandu achajinji.
and laid their hands on the Apostles, and put them into the common prison.
19 Nambo chilo katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje ŵajiugwile minango ja nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ni ŵakopwesye paasa ni kwasalila,
But a messenger of the Lord, by night, opened the doors of the prison, and bringing them out, said,
20 “Njaulanje nkajime pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu nkaasalile ŵandu maloŵe gose ga umi wa sambano wu.”
Go, and presenting yourselves in the temple, speak 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.
And hearing this, they went very early into the temple, and taught. But the high priest being come, and they that were with him, they called together the Sanhedrim, even the whole Senate of the children of Israel, and 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 officers came, they found them not in the prison. Returning, therefore, they made their report,
23 achitiji, “Tujisimene nyuumba jakutaŵilwa jajiugale mbande syose ni ŵakulindilila achilindililaga mminango. Nambo patwaugwile nganitunsimana mundu jwalijose nkati.”
saying, We found, indeed, the prison shut with all safety, and the keepers standing before the doors; but, having opened them, we found no one 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 high priest, and the captain of the temple guard, and the chief priests heard these words, they doubted concerning them, what this could be.
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 standing in the temple, 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 the captain went, with the officers, and brought them, (not by 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 Sanhedrim. 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, Did we not strictly charge you, that you should not teach in this name? and behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and would bring this man's blood upon us.
29 Pelepo che Petulo pamo ni achinduna achinjakwe ŵajanjile, “Ikutuŵajila kwapilikanichisya Akunnungu, ngaŵa ŵandu.
But Peter and the other Apostles answered, and said, It is necessary to obey God rather than men.
30 Akunnungu ŵa achambuje ŵetu ŵansyusisye Che Yesu ajula jumwammuleje kwa kwaŵamba pansalaba.
The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom you slew, hanging him on 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 has God exalted at his right hand, a Prince and Saviour, to give reformation 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 Spirit also, whom God has given to them who submit to his government.
33 Mpingo wose wa Nkungulu paŵapilikene yeleyo, yachimile nnope ni ŵasachile kwaulaga achinduna ŵala.
And when they heard this, they were enraged, and consulted 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 a certain Pharisee in the Sanhedrim, whose name was Gamaliel, a doctor of law, in great esteem among all the people, rose up, and commanded the Apostles to be taken out for 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, Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you are about to do to 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.
Some time ago Theudas arose, pretending himself to be a person of note: to whom a number of men, about four hundred, adhered, who was slain; and all who hearkened to him were scattered, and came 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 him, Judas, the Galilean, arose, in the days of the enrollment, and drew a multitude of people after him, and he was destroyed; and all who hearkened 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, in the present case, I say to you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this design and work be of men, it will be defeated;
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 can not defeat them: lest, perhaps, you be found fighters against God.
40 Nipele ŵaaŵilasile achinduna ŵala munkati, ŵalamwile kuti aputikwe mbokola ni kwajamuka kuti ngasaŵecheta sooni kwa liina li Che Yesu, ni ŵaalesile ajaulangane.
And they yielded to him; and having called in the Apostles, and scourged them, they charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and 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 departed from the presence of the Sanhedrim. rejoicing that they were counted worthy to be exposed to infamy for the sake of his name.
42 Ni moŵa gose ŵapundile kwiganya ni kulalichila Ngani Jambone pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu ni mmajumba ga ŵandu kuti Che Yesu ali Kilisito.
And, daily, in the temple, and from house to house, they ceased not to teach and declare the good news, that Jesus is the Messiah.
