Acts 5
1 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property.
Lino umwi mwalumi uutegwa Ananiyasi, nkali a Safila mwanakazi wakwe, bakawuzya chimpanzi chabuvubi,
2 With his wife’s full knowledge, he kept back some of the proceeds for himself, but brought a portion and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
alimwi wakabamba musule chimpanzi chamuulo wamali ( mwanakazi wakwe kabiyo wakalizizi ezi), alimwi wakeeta chimpanzi chazyo alimwi wakachibika kumawulu amu abatumwa.
3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and withhold some of the proceeds from the land?
Pesi Pita wakati, “Ananiyasi, nkambonzi satani naazuzya moyo wako kuti ubeje ku Muuya Uusalala alimwi kuti ubambe musule chimpanzi chamuulo wamuunda?
4 Did it not belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? How could you conceive such a deed in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God!”
Niwalikusyaala nkawutawuziziwwe, tensi wakayimvwi kawuli wako, alimwi akuzwa nkawuli wawuzigwa, saa wakali munsi lyanuzu zyako? Nwani oyo wabika eyi milimo mumoyo wako? Teensi wabejela muntu pesi kuli Leza.”
5 On hearing these words, Ananias fell down and died. And great fear came over all who heard what had happened.
Naakamvwa majwi aya, Ananiyasi wakawida aansi mpawo wayoya kwakumaninsizya, alimwi kuyoowa kupati kwakasika kuli boonse bakamvwa eezi.
6 Then the young men stepped forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.
Balombe bakanyampuka alimwi bamuvunilizya, alimwi bakamubweza alimwi bakumuvwikka.
7 About three hours later his wife also came in, unaware of what had happened.
Nikwakiinda biyo otatwe mahoola, mwanakazi wakwe wakanjila, katezi kuti niinzi zyachitika.
8 “Tell me,” said Peter, “is this the price you and your husband got for the land?” “Yes,” she answered, “that is the price.”
Pita wakati kulinuwe, “Ndibuzye naanka mwawuzya muunda azeezi, “wakati, “Iyii, azeezi.”
9 “How could you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord?” Peter replied. “Look, the feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.”
Mpawo Pita wakati kulinuwe, “Mbuubuli mbumwazuminana moonse kuti musunke muuya wa Leza? Bona mawulu abaalumi bavwikka mulumi wako ali amulyango, alimwi bayokubweza ayebo.”
10 At that instant she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
Mpawo mpawo wakawida ansi kumawulu aakwe alimwi wakayoya kwakumaninsizya. Elyo baluumi nibakanjila, bakamujana nkafwide, alimwi bakamubweza alimwi bakumuvwikka kumbali lyamulumi.
11 And great fear came over the whole church and all who heard about these events.
Kuyoowa kupati kwakasika akkati kayoonse imbungano alimwi aakati kaboonse aabo bakamvwa eezi.
12 The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people, and with one accord the believers gathered together in Solomon’s Colonnade.
Zyingi zitondezyo alimwi azigambyo zyakalikuchitika akati kabantu kwiinda mumaanza abatumwa. Bakali antoomwe kumulyango wa Solomoni.
13 Although the people regarded them highly, no one else dared to join them.
Pesi takwe wabo wakaba aachiyandisyo chakuba antomwe ambabo; nikuba boobo bantu bakabalemeka.
14 Yet more and more believers were brought to the Lord—large numbers of both men and women.
Kabiyo biingi basyomi bakali kuyungizizigwa ku Mwami, bantu biingi bechalumi mpawo abanakazi,
15 As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, so that at least Peter’s shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by.
nkokuti bakali kubweza bachiswa muchisi alimwi babalazika aabulo amuzitobo, kuchitila kuti awo Pita nayosika, muzuzumbwe wakwe wayino wida alibamwi babo.
16 Crowds also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those tormented by unclean spirits, and all of them were healed.
Mpawo bakasika kabiyo antomwe bantu biingi bazwa muchisi chilafwifwi a Jelusalema, nkabeeta bachiswa alimwi abaabo bajiswi aa myuya yamatombe, alimwi balikuponesegwa boonse.
17 Then the high priest and all his associates, who belonged to the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. They went out
Pesi mupayizi mupati wakanyampuka, mpawo aboonse abo bakali anguwe ( aabo benkamu yama Sajusizi); alimwi bakazwa munyono
18 and arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail.
alimwi bakabika maanza aatala lyaba tumwa, mpawo babawala muntolongo yakazibinkene.
19 But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out, saying,
Elyo muchindi chamansiku mungelo wa Leza wakajula mulyano wentolongo alimwi wakabagwisya aanze, mpawo wakati,
20 “Go, stand in the temple courts and tell the people the full message of this new life.”
“Mwiinke, mwime muntempele mpawo mwambule kubantu majwi woonse abuumi.”
21 At daybreak the apostles entered the temple courts as they had been told and began to teach the people. When the high priest and his associates arrived, they convened the Sanhedrin—the full assembly of the elders of Israel—and sent to the jail for the apostles.
Nibakamvwa eezi, bakanjila muntempele nkakuli kwamba kucha mpawo bayiisya. Pesi mupayizi mupati wakasika mpawo ababo bakali anguwe, alimwi bakayita mulubeta antomwe, boonse bapati babantu bamu Izilayeli, mpawo babatuma kuntolongo kuti bakeete batumwa.
22 But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there. So they returned with the report:
Pesi bakapokola abo bakayinka tebakabajana pe muntolongo, mpawo bakaboola kukuzowamba,
23 “We found the jail securely locked, with the guards posted at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.”
“Twajana intolongo mbuli mbukwelede kazijalidwe kabiyo balindizi kabiimvwi amulyango, pesi nitwajula, twajana takwe pe ulimukati.”
24 When the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard this account, they were perplexed as to what was happening.
Lino basilumamba bentempele antomwe abapayizi bapati nibakamvwa aya majwi, baka bulikilwa atala ambabo kuti mbobuli mbubanga balazwa kulinzizyo.
25 Then someone came in and announced, “Look, the men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people!”
Elyo umwi wakasika mpawo wabaambila, “Balumi aabo mbimwakabika mukkati kentolono balimvwi mukkati kantempele mpawo balikuyiisya bantu.”
26 At that point, the captain went with the officers and brought the apostles—but not by force, for fear the people would stone them.
Eelyo silumamba wakiinka aamwi abakapokola, mpawo wababoozya musule, pesi kakutakwe kulwana, eelyo nkabayowede kuti balabatulula mabwe.
27 They brought them in and made them stand before the Sanhedrin, where the high priest interrogated them.
Nibaka beeta, baka bakkazika munsi ababetesi. Mupayizi mupati wakaba buzisisya, nkati,
28 “We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,” he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us responsible for this man’s blood.”
“Twalayilila ndinywe a mulawu kuti mutayiisyi muzina eeli, mpawo lino mwazuzya Jelusalema enjiisyo achiyandisyo chenu alimwi mwayeya akweeta bulowa bwamwalumi oyu atala lyesu.”
29 But Peter and the other apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than men.
Alimwi Pita abatumwa bakasandula, “Twelede kulemeka Leza kwinda muntu.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had killed by hanging Him on a tree.
Leza wabamataata wakabusya Jesu, oyo numwakajaya akumwanzika mumusamu.
31 God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior, in order to grant repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel.
Leza wakamunyampula kubbazu lyakuchilisyo kuti abe mwana wa Mwami mpawo amufutuli, kuti ape kusanduka ku Izilayeli, mpawo akulekelelwa kwazibi.
32 We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.”
Ndiswe bakamboni bazeezi zintu, mpawo ngu Muuya Uusalala, oyo Leza ngwakapa kulibaabo bamulemeka.”
33 When the Council members heard this, they were enraged, and they resolved to put the apostles to death.
Eelyo bazuluzi bamwi nibakamvwa eezi, bakanyema alimwi bakayanda kujaya batumwa.
34 But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a short time.
Pesi mufalisi uutegwa Gamaliyeli, muyiisyi wamulawu oyo wakalikulemekwa aboonse bantu, wakanyampuka mubazuluzi mpawo wakalayilila batumwa kuti bagwisigwe kwakiindi kanini.
35 “Men of Israel,” he said, “consider carefully what you are about to do to these men.
Mpawo wakati kulimbabo, “Nobaluumi bamu Izilayeli, amuswilizye loko kuli nzimwa zuminana kuti muchite kubantu aba.
36 Some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men joined him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing.
Nkambo musule amazuba aya, Tewudasi wakanyampuka nkali kuyanda kuba uumwi, mpawo bantu biini, basika myaanda iine, bakaba antomwe anuwe. Wakajayigwa, eelyo boonse abo bakali kumulemeka baka mwayisiwampawo kwakamana.
37 After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census and drew away people after him. He too perished, and all his followers were scattered.
Nikwakazwa ooyu mwalumi, Judasi waku Galili wakanyampuka mumazuba akubalwa kwabantu mpawo wakachunzya kule abantu kuzwa kulinuwe. Alakwe wakajayigwa, mpawo boonse abo bakali kumulemeka bakamwayika.
38 So in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone. Let them go! For if their purpose or endeavor is of human origin, it will fail.
Lino ndamba kulindinywe, ikuti muye kule kuzwa kubantu aba mpawo ubayiisye abalikke, kjuti aya mabambe naa mulimo kuti nkazili zyamuntu, ziyosowegwa.
39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them. You may even find yourselves fighting against God.”
Pesi kuti nkazili zya Leza, tamukoyo kkonzya pe kuzimwaya; muyojana kuti munoyolwana a Leza.” Eelyo bakazumina.
40 At this, they yielded to Gamaliel. They called the apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.
Eelyo bakayita batumwa mukkati alimwi babawuma mpawo babalayilila kuti taba nochambuli muzina lya Jesu, mpawo bakabaleka beenda.
41 The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.
Bakaya kule kuzwa musule abazuluzi nkaba boteledwe kuti bakali baswanana kabiyo akupenzegwa akuwisya bulemu bwezina.
42 Every day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ.
Kuzwa wawo woonse mazuba, mukkati kentempele alimwi kuzwa kung'anda akung'anda, bakali kwinkilila anembo akuyobuyiisya alimwi akuyobumwaya milumbe mibotu kuti Jesu ngu Kkilisitu.
