Masengo 5
1 Jwapali mundu jumo jwakuŵilanjikwa che Anania pamo ni ŵankwakwe che Safila, nombewo iyoyo peyo ŵasumisye ngunda wao.
Now a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a piece of property,
2 Nambo che Anania ŵasapwile mbiya siŵapatile ni kusisa akuno ŵankwakwe ali nkumanyilila yeleyo ni sine ŵapelechele achinduna ŵala.
and he kept back part of the sale money (his wife also knew it), and brought the other part of it 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 has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit 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!”
While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own, and after it was sold, was it not in your control? How is it that you thought of this thing in 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.
Hearing these words, Ananias fell down and breathed his last, and great fear came upon all who heard it.
6 Achachanda ŵajimi ni kuchiŵilijila saanda chiilu chakwe, ŵankopwesye paasa ni kwaula kukunsika.
The young men came forward and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.
7 Nti masaa gatatu ŵankwakwe ŵajinjile nkati pangaimanyilila indu iyatyochele.
After about three hours, his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
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.”
Peter said to her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” 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 agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will 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.
She immediately fell down at his feet and breathed her last. When the young men came in, they found her dead, and carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
11 Mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito wose ni ŵandu wose ŵaŵapilikene ngani jo ŵakamwilwe ni lipamba lyelikulungwa.
Great fear came upon the whole church, and upon all who 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.
Many signs and wonders were taking place among the people through the hands of the apostles. They were all together 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 no one else had the courage to join them; however, they were held in high esteem by the people.
14 Winji wa ŵandu ŵaŵakulupilile Ambuje wapundaga konjecheka nnope achalume ni achakongwe,
Still more believers were being added to the Lord, multitudes 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.
so that they even carried the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, so that as Peter came by, his shadow might fall on some of them.
16 Ŵandu ŵajinji kutyochela mmisi ja muumbali mwa Yelusalemu ŵaiche achajigalaga ŵakulwala ni ŵaali ni masoka, ni wose ŵalamiswe.
There also came together a great number of people from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all healed.
17 Nipele Jwambopesi Jwankulu ni achinjakwe ŵaŵaliji ŵampingo wa Masadukayo ŵaŵatemi pelepo, ŵaakolele wiu achinduna ŵala.
But the high priest rose up, and all those who 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 the public jail.
19 Nambo chilo katumetume jwa kwinani jwa Ambuje ŵajiugwile minango ja nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ni ŵakopwesye paasa ni kwasalila,
Yet during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and led them out, and said,
20 “Njaulanje nkajime pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu nkaasalile ŵandu maloŵe gose ga umi wa sambano wu.”
“Go, stand in the temple and 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.
When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak and taught. But the high priest came, and those who were with him, and called the council together, all the elders of the people of Israel, and sent to the jail to have the apostles brought.
22 Nambo ŵakulindilila ŵala paŵaiche mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa, nganiŵasimana achinduna ŵala. Nipele ŵausile pa Nkungulu ni kwasalila ngani jo
But the officers that went did not find them in the prison, and they returned and reported,
23 achitiji, “Tujisimene nyuumba jakutaŵilwa jajiugale mbande syose ni ŵakulindilila achilindililaga mminango. Nambo patwaugwile nganitunsimana mundu jwalijose nkati.”
“We found the jail securely shut and the guards standing at the door, but when we had opened it, we found no one inside.”
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 as to what would come of it.
25 Nipele ŵaiche mundu ni kwasalila, “Ŵandu umwaŵisile mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa ŵala, sambano ali pa Nyuumba ja Akunnungu achajiganyaga ŵandu.”
Then someone came and told them, “The men whom you put in the jail 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.
So the captain went with the officers, and brought them back, but without violence, for they feared that the people might stone them.
27 Nipele ŵaajigele achinduna ni kwajimika paujo pa Nkungulu. Jwambopesi Jwankulu ŵasalile ŵanyawo,
When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest interrogated 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 strictly charged you not to teach in this name, and yet, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and desire 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, “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 you killed by 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.
God exalted him to his right hand to be a prince and a savior, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
32 Noweji tuli ŵaumboni ŵa yeleyo pamo ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵaŵapele aŵala ŵakwajitichisya Akunnungu.”
We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”
33 Mpingo wose wa Nkungulu paŵapilikene yeleyo, yachimile nnope ni ŵasachile kwaulaga achinduna ŵala.
When the council members heard this, they were furious and wanted to kill the apostles.
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 Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honored by all the people, stood up and commanded the apostles to be taken outside for a little while.
35 Ni kuusalila mpingo wa Nkungulu ula, “Ŵanyamwe Ŵaisilaeli achinjangu, nlilolechesye mwachinsyene nkanaŵe kupanganya inkwisaka kwapanganyichisya ŵandu ŵa!
Then he said to them, “Men of Israel, pay close attention to what you propose to do with these people.
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 some time ago, Theudas rose up claiming to be somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined him. He was killed, and all who had been obeying 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 this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all who had been obeying him were scattered.
38 Ni sambano ngunsalila ŵanyamwe, nkaatenda chachili chose ŵandu ŵa, mwaleche! Pakuŵa iŵaga liloŵe li atamuno masengo ga gali ga ŵandu, chigaweseche.
Now I say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or work is 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, you will not be able to overthrow them; you may even find that you are fighting against God.” So they were persuaded.
40 Nipele ŵaaŵilasile achinduna ŵala munkati, ŵalamwile kuti aputikwe mbokola ni kwajamuka kuti ngasaŵecheta sooni kwa liina li Che Yesu, ni ŵaalesile ajaulangane.
Then they called the apostles in and beat them and commanded 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 left the council rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor 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.
Thereafter every day, in the temple and from house to house, they were continuously teaching and proclaiming Jesus as the Christ.
