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 Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
2 Nambo che Anania ŵasapwile mbiya siŵapatile ni kusisa akuno ŵankwakwe ali nkumanyilila yeleyo ni sine ŵapelechele achinduna ŵala.
and kept back [part] of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
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 filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back [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!”
Whiles it remained, did it not remain thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thy power? How is it that thou hast conceived this thing in thy heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto 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 great fear came upon all that heard it.
6 Achachanda ŵajimi ni kuchiŵilijila saanda chiilu chakwe, ŵankopwesye paasa ni kwaula kukunsika.
And the young men arose and wrapped him round, and they carried him out and 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 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 answered unto her, Tell me whether ye 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.”
But Peter [said] unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which 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.
And she fell down immediately at his feet, and gave up the ghost: and the young men came in and found her dead, and they 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 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 durst no man join himself to them: howbeit the people magnified them;
14 Winji wa ŵandu ŵaŵakulupilile Ambuje wapundaga konjecheka nnope achalume ni achakongwe,
and believers were the 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 they even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that, as Peter came by, at the least his shadow might overshadow some one of them.
16 Ŵandu ŵajinji kutyochela mmisi ja muumbali mwa Yelusalemu ŵaiche achajigalaga ŵakulwala ni ŵaali ni masoka, ni wose ŵalamiswe.
And there also came together the multitude from the cities round about Jerusalem, bringing sick folk, and them that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
17 Nipele Jwambopesi Jwankulu ni achinjakwe ŵaŵaliji ŵampingo wa Masadukayo ŵaŵatemi pelepo, ŵaakolele wiu achinduna ŵala.
But the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy,
18 Nipele, ŵakamwile achinduna ni kwaŵika mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ja ŵandu achajinji.
and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in public ward.
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 opened the prison doors, and brought them out, and said,
20 “Njaulanje nkajime pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu nkaasalile ŵandu maloŵe gose ga umi wa sambano wu.”
Go ye, and stand and 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.
And when they heard [this], they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison-house to have them brought.
22 Nambo ŵakulindilila ŵala paŵaiche mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa, nganiŵasimana achinduna ŵala. Nipele ŵausile pa Nkungulu ni kwasalila ngani jo
But the officers that came found them not in the prison; and 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-house we found shut in all safety, and the keepers standing at the doors: but when we had opened, 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 captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were much perplexed concerning them whereunto this would grow.
25 Nipele ŵaiche mundu ni kwasalila, “Ŵandu umwaŵisile mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ŵala, sambano ali pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu achajiganyaga ŵandu.”
And there came one and told them, Behold, the men whom ye put in the 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 captain with the officers, and brought them, [but] 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, We straitly charged you not to teach in this name: and behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to 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 apostles answered and said, We must obey God rather than men.
30 Akunnungu ŵa achambuje ŵetu ŵansyusisye Che Yesu ajula jumwammuleje kwa kwaŵamba pansalaba.
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye 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 did God exalt with his right hand [to be] a Prince and a Saviour, for 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 [so is] the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
33 Mpingo wose wa Nkungulu paŵapilikene yeleyo, yachimile nnope ni ŵasachile kwaulaga achinduna ŵala.
But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were minded to slay them.
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 there stood up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in honour of all the people, and commanded to put the men 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 unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves as touching these men, what ye are about to do.
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 Theudas, giving himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed, and came to nought.
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 enrollment, and drew away [some of the] people after him: he also perished; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.
38 Ni sambano ngunsalila ŵanyamwe, nkaatenda chachili chose ŵandu ŵa, mwaleche! Pakuŵa iŵaga liloŵe li atamuno masengo ga gali ga ŵandu, chigaweseche.
And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will be overthrown:
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 is of God, ye will not be able to overthrow them; lest haply ye be found even to be fighting 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 to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles unto them, they beat them and charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
41 Nipele achinduna ŵala ŵakopweche paasa Nkungulu ula ali nkusangalala nnope, pakuŵa Akunnungu ŵaiweni kuti aŵajilwe kujaluswa ligongo li Che Yesu.
They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonour for the 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 every day, in the temple and at home, they ceased not to teach and to preach Jesus [as] the Christ.
