< Acts 4 >
1 As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them,
Peteru na Yohani pawaweriti wankali wankuwabwelera wantu, watambika na wakulu wa walolera wa numba nkulu ya Mlungu pamwera na Masadukayu wiziti.
2 being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
Wakalaliti nentu, toziya wantumintumi awa waweriti wankuwabwelera wantu kuwera Yesu kazyukiti, shitwatira sheni shilanguziya pota kufifa handa wahowiti hawazyuki.
3 They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening.
Su, wawaturiti mlikakala na toziya pashiru paweriti pakwegera, wawaturiti mkulolerwa mpaka shirawu yakuwi.
4 But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.
Kumbiti wavuwa pakati pa walii yawapikaniriti ujumbi wawu wajimiriti na walanga ya wawajimira iwera yongereka wapalu elufu mhanu.
5 In the morning, their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem.
Shirawu yakuwi, watuwa wa Wayawudi, wazewi na wafunda wa malagaliru wajojinika pamwera aku Yerusalemu.
6 Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest.
Waliwoniti pamuhera na Anasi mtambika mkulu, Kayafa na Yohani na Alekizanda na wamonga yawaweriti wa lukolu lwa mtambika mkulu.
7 When they had stood Peter and John in the middle of them, they inquired, “By what power, or in what name, have you done this?”
Pawawagolisiyiti wantumintumi kuulongolu kwawu, wawakosiyiti, “Mwenga mtenda shitwatira ashi kwa likakala lyoshi na kwa litawu lya gaa?”
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “You rulers of the people and elders of Israel,
Panu, Peteru, pakawera kamemiziwa na Rohu Mnanagala, kawagambira, “Walongoziya na wazewi wa wantu!
9 if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed,
Handa pamtukosiya leru kuusu shilii shitendu shiheri shakatenderitwi ulii muntu yakaweriti shibyeketu na ntambu yakaponiziwitwi,
10 may it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, this man stands here before you whole in him.
Su, mwenga na wantu woseri wa Israeli mfiruwa kuvimana kuusu muntu ayu kagoloka kulongolu kwamwenga leru, mkomu nakamu, kwa likakala lya litawu lyakuwi Yesu Kristu gwa Nazareti yomberi mwenga mmupingika, kumbiti Mlungu kamzyukisiya kulawa kwa wahowiti.
11 He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’
Ayu ndomweni Malembu Mananagala gatakula, Libuwi lyamuliremiti mwenga wanyawa numba, vinu liwera Libuwi likulu lya liyanjiru
12 There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”
Ulopoziya upatikana ndiri kwa muntu gwingi yoseri, toziya kwahera litawu limonga pasi pa mpindi, wantu wawapanana ndiri litawu lya muntu gwingi mweni twenga tuweza kulopuziwa na yomberi.”
13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.
Awa wazewi Pashizyungu, waweriti wavimana handa Peteru na Yohani waweriti wantu wahera shisomu pota elimu yoseri, walikangasha ntambu yawatakuliti kwa ugangamala. Wavimana handa waweriti wapamwera na Yesu.
14 Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
Kumbiti pawamwoniti muntu ulii yawamponiziyiti kagoloka pamwera nawomberi, waweza ndiri kutakula shintu.
15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
Hangu, wawagambiriti walawi kunja kumdamu, na womberi wasigala mnumba pawatakula kwa kupwepa.
16 saying, “What shall we do to these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.
Walikosiana, “Tutendi shishi na wantu awa? Kila muntu yakalikala Yerusalemu kavimana handa mauzauza aga gakulikangasha gatendeka, natwenga tuwezandiri kulema shitwatira ashi.
17 But so that this spreads no further among the people, let’s threaten them, that from now on they do not speak to anyone in this name.”
Kumbiti su tupati kubera shitwatira ashi nashiendereya nentu pakati pa wantu, tuwakalipiri nawayowera na muntu yoseri kwa litawu lya Yesu.”
18 They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
Hangu wawashema kayi mngati, wawaberiziya nawayowera kayi paweru, na kufunda kwa litawu lya Yesu.
19 But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,
Kumbiti Peteru na Yohani wawankula, “Mwamuwi mwenga handa ndo teratera kuulongolu kwa Mlungu kuwajimira mwenga kuliku kumjimira Mlungu.
20 for we cannot help telling the things which we saw and heard.”
Toziya tuwezandiri kuleka kutakula kuusu vitwatira vilii vyatuviwoniti na kuvipikinira.”
21 When they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done.
Su, awa wazewi wa shyotera motu waberiziya kwa kukaripa nentu, shakapanu wawalekeziyiti. Waweza ndiri kuwapanana azabu toziya wantu woseri waweriti wankumkwisa Mlungu toziya ya shitwatira ashi.
22 For the man on whom this miracle of healing was performed was more than forty years old.
Muntu ayu yawamponiziyiti kaweriti na umli wa vinja nentu ya malongu msheshi
23 Being let go, they came to their own company and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
Pawawalekeziyiti hera, Peteru na Yohani wawuyiti kwa wayawu, wawagambira galii gawagambiritwi na watambika wakulu wa Shikundi sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu na wazewi.
24 When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord and said, “O Lord, you are God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;
Nawomberi pawapikaniriti shisoweru ashi waweriti pamwera mukumluwa Mlungu wankutakula, “Mtuwa, gwenga ndo mnyawa gwa mpindi na pasi panu, ibahali na vyoseri vyamlamu!
25 who by the mouth of your servant David, said, ‘Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?
Gwenga gumtenditi ntumintumi gwaku, tati gwetu Dawudi, katakuli kwa likakala lya Rohu Mnanagala, Kwa shishi maisi ganamaya? Iwera hashi wantu watenda mipangu ya hera?
26 The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers plot together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.’
Wafalumi wa pasipanu walituliti kala, na watuwa waliwoniti pamwera, watenda ntambu imonga kwa Mtuwa na watenda ntambu imonga kwa Kristu gwakuwi.”
27 “For truly, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed,
“Mana, nakaka, ndo Herodi, Pontiwu Pilatu, wantu wa Israeli na wantu wa maisi pawariwoniti palaa panu mlushi, kumkoma Yesu ntumintumi gwakuwi Mnanagala mweni kamsyaguliti.
28 to do whatever your hand and your counsel foreordained to happen.
Waliwoniti su watendi vitwatira vilii vyagufiriti na kupanga kwanjira kwanja kwa uwezu waku na mafiliru gaku
29 Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,
Kumbiti vinu, gwee Mtuwa, gulori vitiriziwu vyawu. Gutuwezeshi twenga wantumintumi waku kushibwera shisoweru shaku kwa ugangamala.
30 while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.”
Gunyoshi liwoku lyaku su guponiziyi wantu. Gutendi lilangaliru na mauzauza kwa litawu lya Yesu ntumintumi gwaku Mnanagala.”
31 When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
Pawamaliriti kumluwa Mlungu pahala palii pawaliwoniti, nawomberi woseri wamemiziyitwi Rohu Mnanagala. Woseri wanja kubwera shisoweru sha Mlungu pota lyoga. Walikaliti gambira mlongu yumu
32 The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.
Shipinga shoseri shawamjimiriti Yesu waweriti na moyu gumu na Rohu yimu. Kwahera ata yumu yakaweriti na shintu shoseri kashitula shiweri lunda yakuwi mweni, ila wagawaniti vyoseri vyawaweriti navyu.
33 With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.
Wantumintumi watakuliti kwa likakala livuwa kuzyuka kwa Mtuwa Yesu, na yomberi Mlungu kawapanana tekelera zivuwa.
34 For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,
Kwahera muntu yoseri yakapungukiwitwi shintu, mana waweriti na malambu ama numba waweriti wankuviwuza
35 and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.
na kuwapanana ntumintumi mpiya azi, wawayupa kila yumu shiyasi shakafira
36 Joses, who by the apostles was also called Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,
kuweriti na Mlawi yumu, mwiwuka gwa Kupiru, litawu lyakuwi Yosefu, ulaa wantumintumi wamshemiti Barinaba mana yakuwi, “Muntu yakapanana moyu”.
37 having a field, sold it and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
Yomberi viraa kaweriti na lirambu lyakuwi, kawuziti, katola mpiya zilii kawapanana wantumintumi.
