< Acts 5 >

1 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property.
Muntu yumu yawamshema Ananiya na mdala gwakuwi Safira wawuziti lirambu lyawu viravi.
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.
Kumbiti, mdala gwakuwi pakawera kavimana, Ananiya kalitulila seemu ya mpiya zyakazipatiti na seemu imonga ilii kawayupiti wantumintumi.
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?
Su, Peteru kamkosiyiti, “Ananiya, mbona shetani kingira mmoyu mwaku na kukutenda gumzyangi Rohu Mnanagala kwa kulitulira seemu ya mpiya zagupatiti kulawilirana na lilambu lilii?
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!”
Pamberi pa kuliwuza liweriti lyaku na paguliwuziti kala, isigala mpiya azi ziweriti zaku guzitumii ntambu yagufira. Toziya gaa, gwamuwiti mmoyu mwaku kutenda shitwatira sha ntambu ayi? Gumzyanga ndiri muntu, Gumzyanga Mlungu!”
5 On hearing these words, Ananias fell down and died. And great fear came over all who heard what had happened.
Ananiya, pakapikaniriti aga kaguwa pasi, kahowa. Wantu woseri wapikiniriti shisoweru sha lilawiru ali watiriti nentu.
6 Then the young men stepped forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.
Wandemba wasoka, wayigibikira njimba yakuwi, wamlaviya kunja, wamsira.
7 About three hours later his wife also came in, unaware of what had happened.
Pa shipindi sha masaa matatu hangu, mdala gwakuwi, pota kuvimana shitwatira shilawiriti, kingira mngati amu.
8 “Tell me,” said Peter, “is this the price you and your husband got for the land?” “Yes,” she answered, “that is the price.”
Peteru kamgambira, “Gung'ambiri! Hashi, shiyasi ashi sha mpiya ndo shampatiti kwa kuwuza lirambu lilii?” Yomberi kankula, “Yina, ndo sheni ashi”
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.”
Yomberi Peteru kamgambira, “Mbona mtenda mpangu kumjera Rohu gwa Mtuwa? Gupikiniri! Walii wantu wagenditi kumusira mpalu gwaku, vinu wapanu pamlyangu na wankukutola gwenga viraa.”
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.
Vumu Safila kaguwa kulongolu kwa magulu ga Peteru, kahowa. Wandemba walii pawingiriti, wamwoniti kahowa kala, hangu wamlaviya kunja, wamsira pakwegera na mpalu gwakuwi.
11 And great fear came over the whole church and all who heard about these events.
Shipinga shoseri sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu pamuhera na woseri yawapikaniriti shisoweru sha vitwatira avi, watiriti nentu.
12 The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people, and with one accord the believers gathered together in Solomon’s Colonnade.
Wantumintumi watenditi mauzauza na makangashu gavuwa pakati pa wantu. Wawumini waweriti wankuliwona pamwera muukumbi wa Selemani.
13 Although the people regarded them highly, no one else dared to join them.
Muntu yoseri gwingi yakaweriti ndiri muumini kajeriti ndiri kuwera pamhera na womberi. Ata hangu, wantu wamonga yawawera ndiri na njimiru ayi wawazyuma.
14 Yet more and more believers were brought to the Lord—large numbers of both men and women.
Walanga ya wantu yawamjimiriti Mtuwa, wapalu na wadala, iyongerekiti.
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.
Toziya ayi, wantu waweriti wankuwajega walweli mnjira na kuwagonjeka pampindi pa shitanda na mikeka su Peteru pakapita, tembera shivuni shakuwi shiwashinkuli wamu wawu.
16 Crowds also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those tormented by unclean spirits, and all of them were healed.
Wantu wavuwa wasokiti kulawa mulushi za kumbekumbeku za Yerusalemu, wankuwajega walweli wawu na walii yawawera na shamshera wadoda na womberi woseri waponiziwa.
17 Then the high priest and all his associates, who belonged to the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. They went out
Shakapanu mtambika mkulu na wayaguwi yawaweriti pamuhera na shipinga sha Masadukayu, wawera na weya.
18 and arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail.
Su, wawatawa ntumintumi, na kuwajega mngati mnumba nkulu ya shibetubetu.
19 But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out, saying,
Kumbiti pashiru ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa kayivuguliti milyangu ya shibetubetu, kawalaviya kunja, kawagambira,
20 “Go, stand in the temple courts and tell the people the full message of this new life.”
“Mgendi mkagoloki Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu na kuwagambira wantu kila shintu kuusu makaliru aga gasyayi.”
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.
Wantumintumi wajimiriti, wingira Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu mandawira putiputi, wanja kufunda. Mtambika mkulu na wayaguwi pawasokiti, washemiti mkutanu gwa shizyungu shikulu, ndo shipinga sha wazewi wa Wayawudi, shakapanu wawatuma wantu mushibetubetu wawajegi wantumintumi walii.
22 But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there. So they returned with the report:
Kumbiti wakulu awa pawasokiti aku wawawona ndiri mshibetubetu mlii. Hangu wawuyiti, wawagambira mumkutanu,
23 “We found the jail securely locked, with the guards posted at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.”
Pawatakula, “Tuwoniti shibetubetu shitatwa kila uwega na walolera wankulolera milyangu. Kumbiti patuvuguliti tumwona ndiri muntu yoseri mngati.”
24 When the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard this account, they were perplexed as to what was happening.
Mkulu gwa walolera wa numba nkulu ya Mlungu na watambika wakulu pawapikaniriti shisoweru ashi wawera na lyoga, wavimana ndiri gawawapatiti.
25 Then someone came in and announced, “Look, the men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people!”
Kiza muntu yumu, kawagambira, “wantu walii yamuwatatiriti mshibetubetu, vinu wamunumba nkulu ya Mlungu, wankufunda wantu.”
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.
Panu mkulu gwa walolera wa numba nkulu ya Mlungu pamwera na wantu wakuwi wagenditi mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, kawajega. Kumbiti wawakamula ndiri kwa likakala, toziya watiriti handa wantu mewawagumi mabuwi.
27 They brought them in and made them stand before the Sanhedrin, where the high priest interrogated them.
Su wawajega, wawagolisiya kulongolu kushizyungu, Mtambika Mkulu kawagambira,
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.”
“Tuwaberiti paweru kufunda kwa litawu lya muntu ayu, vinu mweneza mafunda genu poseri Muyerusalemu na mupanga kututulira lawama ya kuhowa kwa muntu ayu.”
29 But Peter and the other apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than men.
Panu Peteru, kiwiti pamwera na walii ntumintumi wamonga, kankula, “Mpaka tumjimiri Mlungu, muntu ndiri.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had killed by hanging Him on a tree.
Mlungu gwa mbuyi gwetu kamzyukisiyiti Yesu pa mwenga kumlaga kwa kumpingika mlupingika.
31 God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior, in order to grant repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel.
Ayu ndomweni ulii yakakwisitwi na Mlungu mpaka uwega wakuwi wa mliwu, kawera mlongoziya na Mlopoziya su katendi wantu wa Israeli waleki vidoda, wapati kulekiziwa vidoda vyawu.
32 We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.”
Twenga ndo wakapitawu wa lilawiru ali, yomberi Rohu Mnanagala ndo yomberi Mlungu kawayupa walii wawamjimira, wankupitaulira vira lilawiru ali.”
33 When the Council members heard this, they were enraged, and they resolved to put the apostles to death.
Wajumbi woseri wa shizyunga shilii pawapikaniriti aga, waweriti na maya, ata waamuwa kuwalaga.
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.
Kumbiti Mfalisayu yumu yawamshema Gamalieli mweni kaweriti mfunda gwa Malagaliru na yakapananitwi ligoya nentu kulongolu kwa wantu woseri, kagolokiti kulongolu kushizyungu kulii, kafiriti ntumintumi walii walaviwi kunja katepu.
35 “Men of Israel,” he said, “consider carefully what you are about to do to these men.
Shakapanu kawagambira wajumbi walii wa shizyungu, “Walushi lwa Israeli, shondi pamberi pa kutenda ashi shamfira kuwatenda wantu awa!
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.
Makashu shididini, kulawiriti muntu yumu litawu lyakuwi Teuda, kalitakulira kuwera muntu gwa mana na wantu pakwegera na miya mhanu walijegiti pamhera na yomberi, kumbiti wamlagiti, shakapanu wandundami wakuwi woseri wapalanganika na shipinga shakuwi shifuwa.
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.
Kayi, shakapanu, shipindi shilii sha kuwalangwa wantu, kalawiriti Yuda gwa Galilaya. Ayu na yomberi kwawakwegiti wantu wamfata, Kumbiti na yomberi wamlagiti, na wandundami wakuwi wapalanganikiti.
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.
Na vinu viraa neni nuwagambira kotukuwatendera shintu shoseri wantu awa, muwalekiziyi! Toziya, payiwera shitendu ashi shawu shanjishwa na muntu, hashiwuki sheni.
39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them. You may even find yourselves fighting against God.”
Kumbiti handa shanjishwa na Mlungu, hera ndiri handa hapeni muwezi kuwakanga, su hamliwoni mmulema Mlungu.”
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.
Su wawashema ntumintumi walii, waamuwa wasyatagwi viboku na kuwaberiziya nawafunda kayi kwa litawu lya Yesu, shakapanu wawaleka wagendi zawu.
41 The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.
Su, ntumintumi walawa kunja kushizyungu pawamema nemeru, toziya wafiruwiti kusoniziwa kwajili ya litawu lya Yesu.
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.
Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu na ukaya kwa wantu, womberi wendereyiti kila lishaka kufunda na kubwera Shisoweru Shiwagira sha Yesu kuwera ndo Kristu.
