Acts 5
1 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property.
Lino palikuba muntu naumbi lina lyakendi Hananiya ne Safila mukashendi, nabo balaulisha libala lyabo.
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.
Walanyumfwana ne mukashendi, ne kufunyapo mali ngobalaulisha libala, ambi walatwala kuli batumwa.
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?
Petulo walamwipusheti, “Hananiya obe, nipacebo cini ulamusuminishi Satana kwingila mumoyo wakobe cakwinseti ulatatiki kubepa Mushimu Uswepa, ne kufunyapo mali ngolaulishi libala lyakobe?
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!”
Sena libala nkalyanga lyakobe kotana ulyulisha? kayi mpowaulisha libala, sena nkowakutenga mali mumakasa akobe? Nkowayandikanga kwisa cisa? Apa uliya kubepa muntu sobwe, nsombi ulabepe Lesa.”
5 On hearing these words, Ananias fell down and died. And great fear came over all who heard what had happened.
Hananiya mpwalanyumfwa maswi awa, walawa panshi ne kufwa popelapo. Ici calabayosha kwine bantu bonse balanyumfwako calenshika.
6 Then the young men stepped forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.
Batuloba misepela balesa kufungaila citumbico mucikwisa, balacinyamuna ne kuya kubika mu manda.
7 About three hours later his wife also came in, unaware of what had happened.
Mpopalapita maola atatu, nendi mukashendi walengila mung'anda katacinshi cilenshiki.
8 “Tell me,” said Peter, “is this the price you and your husband got for the land?” “Yes,” she answered, “that is the price.”
Petulo walamwipusheti, “Kong'ambila cena, sena awa emali onka ngomwaulisha libala lyenu? Mutukashuyo walakumbuleti, ‘Ee, wopelowo emulo wakendi.’
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.”
Kayi Petulo walamwipusheti, ‘Inga wasuminina cani kwambeti mwelekeshe Mushimu wa Mwami? Bantu bangakubika baibenu balipansa pa cishinga apa, nenjobe nibakumante.”
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.
Nendi popelapo walawa panshi pamyendo ya Petulo, ne kufwa. Mpobalengila batuloba misepela basa, balacana kali wafwa kendi. Balanyamuna citumbi ne kuya kubika mu manda pepi ne mpobabika baibendi.
11 And great fear came over the whole church and all who heard about these events.
Mubungano wonse ne bantu bonse nabambi, balanyumfwako balaba ne buyowa.
12 The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people, and with one accord the believers gathered together in Solomon’s Colonnade.
Batumwa balensa bingashilo ne bishikukankamanisha bingi pakati pa bantu. Bonse bashoma Klistu balikubungana pamo mu Mukushi wa Solomoni.
13 Although the people regarded them highly, no one else dared to join them.
Paliya naba umo walikuba kunsa kwalikoto walalibanda kwambeti abunganenga nabo, nsombi ne kukabeco bantu balikubalumbaisha.
14 Yet more and more believers were brought to the Lord—large numbers of both men and women.
Bantu bashoma muli Lesa balatatika kufulilako, cakwinseti lyalaba likoto linene lya batuloba ne batukashi.
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.
Pacebo ca bintu byalikwinsa batumwa, bantu bangi balatatika kuleta nekoneka balwashi babo pa malili ne pa mpasa munshila, kwambeti Petulo apitanga, mpani cifunsha cakendi ngacibakumyako balwashi.
16 Crowds also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those tormented by unclean spirits, and all of them were healed.
Makoto abantu alesa kufuma muminshi yashinguluka Yelusalemu balikwisa kabali banyamuna balwashi ne bekatwa ne mishimu yaipa, kayi bonse balikusengulwa.
17 Then the high priest and all his associates, who belonged to the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. They went out
Popelapo Mukulene wa Beshimilumbo, ne banendi ba mucipani ca Basaduki mulanyumfwa munyono. Neco balayeya kwinsapo kantu.
18 and arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail.
Balabekata batumwa basa ne kubacalila mujele.
19 But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out, saying,
Nomba cindi camashiku, mungelo wa Mwami walabicalula bisasa bya jele ne kubapulishamo ne kubambileti,
20 “Go, stand in the temple courts and tell the people the full message of this new life.”
“Kamuyani mwambile bantu bonse mu Ng'anda ya Lesa maswi abuyumi ubu bwalinolino.”
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.
Basa batumwa balanyumfwa, balengila mu lubuwa wa Ng'anda ya Lesa mumenemene ne kutatika kwiyisha. Mukulene wa Beshimilumbo mpwalashika ne banendi, walakuwa libungano lya bamakulene Baciyuda. Walatuma bamalonda baku Ng'anda ya Lesa kwambeti benga babamante batumwa basa ku Jele.
22 But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there. So they returned with the report:
Nomba mpobalashika kujele, baliya kubacanamo sobwe. Mpobalabwelako balabambileti,
23 “We found the jail securely locked, with the guards posted at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.”
“Tulacana bishinga byakujele kabili byacalwa ne kupinkwa cena cena, kayi ne bamalonda kabali bemana ncili pacishinga. Nomba mpotulacalulu bisasa, tuliya kucanamo muntu naba umo sobwe.”
24 When the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard this account, they were perplexed as to what was happening.
Mukulene wa bamalonda baku Ng'anda ya Lesa ne beshimilumbo bamakulene mpobalanyumfwa awa maswi, balapwilwa mano ne kuyeyeti nicani ceticinshike.
25 Then someone came in and announced, “Look, the men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people!”
Muntu naumbi walesa kubambileti, “Kamunyumfwani! Basa bantu mbomwacalila mujele, bali mu Ng'anda ya Lesa baleyishinga 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.
Popelapo mukulene wa bamalonda, pamo ne bashilikali nabambi, balaya kubamanta batumwa. Nsombi baliya kubakakatisha batumwa, pakwinga balikutina bantu kwambeti ngababapwaya mabwe.
27 They brought them in and made them stand before the Sanhedrin, where the high priest interrogated them.
Mpobalaleta batumwa basa, balabemanika pamenso pa nkuta inene ya Bayuda, apo Mukulene wa Beshimilumbo mpwalatatika kubepusha.
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.”
Walambeti, “Mucinshi cena kwambeti, twalamukanisha mwangofu kwambeti, kamutayishanga mulina lya Yesu, nsombi amwe mulamwaya biyisho byenu mu Yelusalemu monse, kayi mulayandanga kutusambila lufu lwa muntuyu?”
29 But Peter and the other apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than men.
Nomba Petulo ne batumwa banendi balakumbuleti, “Twelela kunyumfwila Lesa, kupita kunyumfwila bantu.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had killed by hanging Him on a tree.
Amwe mwalashina Yesu pakumupopa pa lusanda. Nomba Lesa wa bamashali betu bakulukulu walamupundusha kubafu.
31 God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior, in order to grant repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel.
walamusumpula epeloyo ne kumubika kucikasa cakendi cakululyo kuba mutangunishi ne Mupulushi. Walenseco kwambeti ape cindi Baislayeli cakusanduka kufuma ku bwipishi bwabo, kwambeti Lesa abalekelele.
32 We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.”
Njafwe bakamboni ba bintu ibi, ne Mushimu Uswepa uyo Lesa ngwakute kupeti cipo kubantu bakute kumunyumfwila.”
33 When the Council members heard this, they were enraged, and they resolved to put the apostles to death.
Bomboloshi bankuta inene mpobalanyumfweco, balakalala kabayanda kubashina.
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.
Nomba Mufalisi naumbi pakati pabo, lina lyakendi, Gamaliyele, shikwiyisha milawo, uyo bantu ngobalikupa bulemu, walemana. Walambeti, “Batumwa bapuleko pansa nanshi.”
35 “Men of Israel,” he said, “consider carefully what you are about to do to these men.
Apo lino walabambila bomboloshi Bankuta inene kwambeti, “Amwe Baislayeli, cenjelani ne ncomulayandanga kwinshila bantu 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.
Na mulanukunga ca linolinowa, kwalikuba muntu naumbi lina lyakendi Teuda walikulisumpula ne kulibandeti ni muntu walemekwa, bantu bali myanda ina balamukonkela, nsombi balamushina, bantu bonse balikumukonkela balamwaika ne kupwilalimo.
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 pacindi ncobalikubelenga bantu, palesa naumbi lina lyakendi Yudasi waku Galileya, nendi walayungaula bantu, bangi balamukonkela. Neye balamushina, bantu bonse balikumukonkela balamwaika.
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.
Neco pankaniyi, ndamwambilishingeti, balekeni bantu aba, balekeni benga. Na ncobalayeyenga ne ncobalenshinga, bilafumunga kubantu nicikamwaike.
39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them. You may even find yourselves fighting against God.”
Nomba na bilafumunga kuli Lesa, nteti mucikonshe kubakoma sobwe. Ngamucaniketi mulalwanangowa ne Lesa.” Bonse balakonkela maswi ngalamba Gamaliyele.
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.
Balabakuwa batumwa ne kubengisha mukati, ne kwambeti babakwapule bikoti, ne kubambileti, “Kamutakabweshapo kwambila bantu mu lina lya Yesu.” Popelapo balabaleka.
41 The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.
Batumwa mpobalapula pansa, balikuba bakondwa kwambeti Lesa lababoneti belela kupenshewa cipansoni pacebo ca 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.
Busuba ne busuba batumwa balapitilisha kwiyisha ne kukambauka Mulumbe Waina mulubuwa lwa Ng'anda ya Lesa, kayi ne mu manda abantu kwambeti Yesu e Wasalwa wa Lesa.
