Acts 5
1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
Nambu mundu mmonga liina laki Anania na mdala waki Safila vagulisi mewa chipandi cha mgunda wavi.
2 and kept back part of the price, his wife also being aware of it, then brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
Na mdala waki amanyili hotohoto kuvya mgwana waki afiyili mashonga gangi geapewili, na zingi zila azigotwili kwa vamitumi.
3 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?
Petili akamkota, “Anania ndava kyani Setani auyingili mtima waku na kumkonga Mpungu Msopi ujifiyili mashonga gangi geupewili mumgunda wula?
4 While you kept it, did not it remain your own? After it was sold, was not it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God.”
Kwakona kugulisa mgunda wenuwo wavi waku, na pawaligulisi mashonga gala gavi gaku, uhengela chewigana. Ndava kyani, wahamwili mumtima waku kuhenga lijambu lenili? Umkongili lepi mundu, nambu umkongili Chapanga!”
5 Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard these things.
Anania peagayuwini malovi ago, akagwa pahi akafwa na vandu voha vevagayuwini mambu ago vakayogopa neju.
6 The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.
Vasongolo vakabwela, vakamugubika higa yaki kwa nyula ya msopi, vakamuwusa kuvala vakamuzika.
7 About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
Pagamaliki masaa ngati gadatu, mdala waki changali kumanya mambu gegahumalili, akayingila mugati mula.
8 Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” She said, “Yes, for so much.”
Petili akamkota, “Unijovela! Wu mashonga gemwapewili kwa kugulisa mgunda ndi gagaga?” Ndi mwene akamyangula, “Ena, ndi genaga.”
9 But Peter asked her, “How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”
Hinu, Petili akamjovela mdala yula, “Wuli muyidakilini kumlinga Mpungu wa Bambu? Yuwanila! Vandu vala vevahambili kumzika mgwana waku, hinu vavi pamlyangu ndi yati vakukutola mewa na veve.”
10 She fell down immediately at his feet and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.
Bahapo safila akagwa palongolo ya magendelu ga Petili, akafwa. Vasongolo vala pavayingili vamkolili amali kufwa, ndi vakamuwusa kuvala, vakamuzika papipi na mngwana waki.
11 Great fear came on the whole assembly, and on all who heard these things.
Wogohi uvaha ukavayingila msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu voha na vandu voha, vevayuwini malovi ga lijambu lenilo.
12 By the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. They were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.
Chapanga ahengili kwa njila ya vanalihengu gachinamtiti na makangaso gamahele pagati ya vandu. Na vamsadika vakonganikayi pamonga mulibanji la Solomoni.
13 None of the rest dared to join them; however, the people honored them.
Mundu yungi yoyoha angalikuvya msadika, valingili lepi kuwungana nawu. Nambu vandu vangi vangasadika vavalumbalili.
14 More believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women.
Nambu vandu vamahele vevamsadiki Bambu, vagosi na vadala vakayonjokeseka neju.
15 They even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mattresses, so that as Peter came by, at least his shadow might overshadow some of them.
Hati vandu vavagegili vatamu vavi munjila na kuvagonesa mu lusongwani na mumipasa, muni Petili akapitayi, mbanga chimuwili chaki chivahikila vangi pagati yavi.
16 The multitude also came together from the cities around Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits; and they were all healed.
Vandu vamahele vabwelili kuhuma mumiji yeyitindila Yelusalemu, vavaletili vatamu wavi na vevavi na mizuka yihakau, ndi voha vakalamiswa.
17 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
Kangi, Mteta Mkulu na vayaki va chikundi cha Vasadukayu ndi vandu vevisadika kuvya vandu nakuhotola kuyuka va pandu penapo, vakayva na wihu kwa vamitumi.
18 and laid hands on the apostles, then put them in public custody.
Hinu vakavakamula vamitumi na kuvakunga muchifungu chikulu.
19 But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out and said,
Nambu kilu mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga, akadindula mlyangu wa muchifungu yikulu, akavahumisa kuvala, akavajovela,
20 “Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.”
“Muhambayi mukayima Munyumba ya Chapanga, mkavajovela vandu malovi ga kuuvala wumi wa mupya.”
21 When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak and taught. But the high priest and those who were with him came and called the council together, with all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
Vamitumi vakayidakila, vakayingila Munyumba ya Chapanga lukela pehe, vakatumbula kuwula. Mteta Mkulu na vayaki pavahikili, vakemili mngonganu wa libanji likulu na vagogo voha va Isilaeli, kangi vavatumili vandu kujela vavaleta vamitumi vala.
22 But the officers who came did not find them in the prison. They returned and reported,
Nambu valonda va muchifungu pavahikili, vavakolili lepi. Ndi vakawuya na kujova kwa vakulu va libanji,
23 “We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside!”
“Tikolili jela yidindanu na valonda vavi mumilyangu kulindalila. Nambu patadindwili milyangu tamkolili lepi mundu yoyoha mugati.”
24 Now when the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were very perplexed about them and what might become of this.
Mkulu wa valonda wa Nyumba ya Chapanga na Vamteta Vakulu pevayuwini genago, vakavya na wogohi, ndava nakuchimanya chechavakolili.
25 One came and told them, “Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people.”
Kangi, akabwela mundu mmonga na kuvajovela, “Yuwanila! Vandu vala vemkavakungili muchifungu, hinu vavi Munyumba ya Chapanga vakuvawula vandu.”
26 Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.
Bahapo mkulu wa valonda na vahenga lihengu vaki, vakahamba Munyumba ya Chapanga vakavaleta. Nambu nakuvakamula kwa makakala, muni vayogwipi vandu yati vakuvatova na maganga.
27 When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them,
Hinu, vavapeliki vamitumi vala, vakavayimika palongolo ya libanji, ndi Mteta Mkulu akavajovela,
28 saying, “Did not we strictly command you not to teach in this name? Behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood on us.”
“Tavabesili hotohoto kuwula paliina la mundu uyu, hinu mugadandisi mawuliwu ginu pa Yelusalemu poha mwigana kutigegesa ngasi ya mundu uyu.”
29 But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.
Petili pamonga na vamitumi vayaki vakayangula, “Yikutigana kumyidakila Chapanga, kuliku mundu.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.
Chapanga wa vagogo vitu amyukisi Yesu mwemwamkomili nyenye na kumvamba pamsalaba.
31 God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.
Mwenuyu ndi yula mwealumbiwi na Chapanga mbaka upandi wa kulyelela, kuvya Chilongosi na Msangula, muni avakita vandu va Isilaeli vamuwuyila Chapanga, muni vapata kulekekesewa kumbudila.
32 We are his witnesses of these things; and so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”
Tete ndi taliwene lijambu lenilo, na Mpungu Msopi, Chapanga avapelili vala vevakumyidakila mwene.”
33 But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were determined to kill them.
Vajumbi voha va libanji lila pevayuwini genago, vakamema ligoga vakahamula kuvakoma.
34 But one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honored by all the people, and commanded to put the apostles out for a little while.
Nambu mundu mmonga Mfalisayu liina laki Gamalieli, muwula wa malagizu ga Bambu geampeli Musa na mweitopeswa na vandu voha. Akayima mu libanji palongolo ya vandu akalagiza vamitumi vala vawusiwayi kuvala mulukumbi luhupi.
35 He said to them, “You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do.
Kangi akavajovela vajumbi va libanji vala, “Vandu va Isilaeli, mjiyangalila kwakona mwangakita, chemwigana kuvakitila vandu ava!
36 For before these days Theudas rose up, making himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves. He was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed and came to nothing.
Magono ga mumbele, ahumalili mundu mmonga liina laki Teudosi, akajijovela kuvya mundu wa kutopela, vandu ngati miya mcheche vakajiwunga nayu. Nambu akomiwi, kangi vamulanda vaki vakapechengana chikundi chaki chafwili.
37 After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the enrollment, and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.
Mwanakandahi kavili, lukumbi lwa kuvalangiwa vandu, ahumalili Yuda wa ku Galilaya. Mewawa mwenuyo avakulukisi vandu vakamulanda, nambu mwenuyo mewawa akomiwi vamulanda vaki vakapechengana.
38 Now I tell you, withdraw from these men and leave them alone. For if this counsel or this work is of men, it will be overthrown.
Hinu nene nikuvajovela ndava ya mhalu uwu, mujiyepa na vandu ava! Mvalekayi vahamba. Ndava muni ngati mpangu wenuwo utumbuliwi na vandu yati wiyaga wene.
39 But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow it, and you would be found even to be fighting against God!”
Nambu ngati mpangu wenuwu uhumili kwa Chapanga, nakuhotola kuvabesa vandu ava, muni mwavene yati mukujikolela mukumbela Chapanga!” Ndi vakayidakilana na malovi ga Gamalieli.
40 They agreed with him. Summoning the apostles, they beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
Hinu, vakavakemele vamitumi vala, vakahamula vatovewa michapilu na kuvabesa vakotoka kuwula kavili paliina la Yesu, ndi vakavaleka vahamba.
41 They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for Jesus’ name.
Hinu, vamitumi vakahuma mu libanji kuni vamemi luheku, muni Chapanga avahololili kuvya vene yavaganili kukola soni ndava ya liina la Yesu.
42 Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and preaching Jesus, the Christ.
Kila ligono vayendalili kuwula na kukokosa Munyumba ya Chapanga na munyumba za vandu, Lilovi la Bwina la Yesu Kilisitu.
