Acts 4
1 And as they were speaking to the people, the priests, and the officer of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,
Petulo kacamba ne basa bantu, kali pamo ne Yohane, kwalesa beshimilumbo nabambi, pamo ne mukulene wa bamalonda baku Ng'anda ya Lesa, ne Basaduki nabambi.
2 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead:
Balikuba bakalala pacebo cakwambeti, batumwa babili basa balikwiyisha bantu ne kukambauka sha kupunduka kwa Yesu.
3 And they laid hands upon them, and put them in hold till the next day; for it was now evening.
Neco balabekata ne kubabika mujele cindi ca mansailo kakuli kulashipuluku, kwambeti bekalemo mpaka lilo mumene.
4 But many of them who had heard the word, believed; and the number of the men was made five thousand.
Nikukabeco, bantu bangi balanyumfwa maswi abatumwa basa balashoma. Cibelengelo cabashoma calakwana myanda makumi asanu.
5 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their princes, and ancients, and scribes, were gathered together in Jerusalem;
Mpobwalaca mumene, batangunishi ba Bayuda ne bamakulene babo ne beshikwiyisha Milawo ya Mose, balabungana mu Yelusalemu.
6 And Annas the high priest, and Caiphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest.
Popelapo palikuba Mukulene wa Beshimilumbo bonse Anasi ne Kayafa ne Yohane ne Alesandulo ne nabambi bamumukowa wa Shimilumbo Mukulene.
7 And setting them in the midst, they asked: By what power, or by what name, have you done this?
Balemanika Petulo ne Yohane pakati ne kubepusheti, “Mwacikonshaconi kwinsa cisa, nambi mwensa cisa mungofu shabani?”
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said to them: Ye princes of the people, and ancients, hear:
Petulo, pakwisulilwa ne Mushimu Uswepa, walabakumbuleti, “Amwe batangunishi ba bantu, ne njamwe bamakulene muli pano.
9 If we this day are examined concerning the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he hath been made whole:
Pakwinga mulatwipushunga lelo pa ncito yaina yalenshika pa muntu mulema usa ne kusengulwa kwakendi,
10 Be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God hath raised from the dead, even by him this man standeth here before you whole.
lino mwinshibe mwense, ne Baislayeli nabambi, uyu muntu wemana pamenso penu wapola cakupwililila, pacebo cangofu sha lina lya Yesu Klistu waku Nasaleti, usa ngomwalapopa palusanda, Lesa ngwalapundusha kubafu.”
11 This is the stone which was rejected by you the builders, which is become the head of the corner.
Kwamba sha Yesu, Mabala Lesa alambangeti, “Libwe ndyomwalakana mobeshikwibaka ng'anda Lyopelyo lyalaba libwe Lyayandika kupita onse.”
12 Neither is there salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be saved.
Paliya muntu nakaba umo, welela kupulusha bantu, nsombi Yesu enkowa, pakwinga paliya lina nalimbi pacishi capanshi, Lesa ndyalapa muntu naumbi, lyelela kutupulusha.
13 Now seeing the constancy of Peter and of John, understanding that they were illiterate and ignorant men, they wondered; and they knew them that they had been with Jesus.
Ba munkuta mpobalabona kubula buyowa kwa Petulo ne Yohane, balakankamana, pakwinga balikuba bantu bulyo, babula lwiyo. Popelapo balenshibeti, balikwenda pamo ne Yesu.
14 Seeing the man also who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
Mpobalabona usa muntu walasengulwa kaliwemana pepi ne Petulo ne Yohane, balabula pa kubatotekela.
15 But they commanded them to go aside out of the council; and they conferred among themselves,
Balabambileti, bapule munkuta. Balo bashala kabalifwiya.
16 Saying: What shall we do to these men? for indeed a known miracle hath been done by them, to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: it is manifest, and we cannot deny it.
Balambeti, “Inga tubensaconi bantu aba? Bantu bonse bekala mu Yelusalemu bacinshi ncobensa bantu aba cikankamanisha ncotwelela kubula kucikana sobwe.
17 But that it may be no farther spread among the people, let us threaten them that they speak no more in this name to any man.
Nomba pakutina kwambeti awa makani katayampuwo, katubatinishani kwambeti, kabatambanga sha Yesu babandikanga ne muntu uliyense.”
18 And calling them, they charged them not to speak at all, nor teach in the name of Jesus.
Mpobalalifwiyeco, balabakuwa ne kubambilisheti, kabatashumbulanga, nambi kwiyisha sha Yesu.
19 But Peter and John answering, said to them: If it be just in the sight of God, to hear you rather than God, judge ye.
Nomba Petulo ne Yohane balabakumbuleti, “Kamulyomboloshani mobene, nicipeyo calulama pamenso a Lesa, kunyumfwila amwe? Nambi kunyumfwila Lesa?
20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
Mwandi afwe, nkatwelela kucileka kwambapo pabintu mbyotwalabona ne kubinyumfwa.”
21 But they threatening, sent them away, not finding how they might punish them, because of the people; for all men glorified what had been done, in that which had come to pass.
Nomba bankuta balabatinisha mwangofu, ne kubasungulula. Balacana kwambeti nkabelela kubapa cisubulo, pakwinga bantu bonse balikabatembaula Lesa palico calenshika.
22 For the man was above forty years old, in whom that miraculous cure had been wrought.
Usa muntu walasengulwa munshila yakankamanisha walikuba ne byaka byapita makumi ana.
23 And being let go, they came to their own company, and related all that the chief priests and ancients had said to them.
Petulo ne Yohane mpobalasungululwa, balaya kwambila banabo mbyobalambilwa ne beshimilumbo bamakulene ne bamakulene Baciyuda.
24 Who having heard it, with one accord lifted up their voice to God, and said: Lord, thou art he that didst make heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them.
Bashoma mpobalanyumfweco, balapaila pamo ne moyo umo. Balambeti, “Mwami Lesa, njamwe mwalalenga kwilu, ne cishi capanshi ne lwenje, kayi ne byonse bilimo.”
25 Who, by the Holy Ghost, by the mouth of our father David, thy servant, hast said: Why did the Gentiles rage, and the people meditate vain things?
Kupitila mu Mushimu Uswepa mwalamba ku mushali wetu mukulukulu Dafeti, musebenshi wenu uyo walambeti, Niciyani calakalalisha bantu batamwishi Lesa, inga bantu balapanganina cani bintu byabulyo?
26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes assembled together against the Lord and his Christ.
Bami bapacishi capanshi balalibambila, nabo bendeleshi balabungana pamo kulwana ne Lesa, kayi ne Wasalwa wakendi.
27 For of a truth there assembled together in this city against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel,
“Nicakubinga, Helode ne Ponsho Pilato, balabungana mu munshi muno, pamo ne bantu batamwinshi Lesa, kayi ne Baislayeli, kwambeti balwane ne Yesu musebenshi wenu Washomeka uyo ngomwalasala kuba Mesiya.
28 To do what thy hand and thy counsel decreed to be done.
“Neco, balenseco, amwe ncomwalabamba kendi mungofu shenu, kwelana ne kuyanda kwenu kwambeti celela kwinshika.
29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings, and grant unto thy servants, that with all confidence they may speak thy word,
Neco Mwami, kamubonani ncebalatutinishinga, kamutunyamfwilishako tobasebenshi benu, kwambeti twambenga maswi enu kwakubula buyowa.
30 By stretching forth thy hand to cures, and signs, and wonders to be done by the name of thy holy Son Jesus.
Tandabulani cikasa cenu kwambeti bantu basengulwe, bingashilo ne bishikukankamanisha, binshike mu lina lya Yesu musebenshi wenu washomeka.”
31 And when they had prayed, the place was moved wherein they were assembled; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spoke the word of God with confidence.
Mpobalapwisha kupaila, ng'anda njobalikuba babunganamo yalatatika kutenkana. Bonse balesulilwa ne Mushimu Uswepa, balatatika kwamba maswi a Lesa kwakubula buyowa.
32 And the multitude of believers had but one heart and one soul: neither did any one say that aught of the things which he possessed, was his own; but all things were common unto them.
Likoto lya bashoma Lesa balikuba ne moyo umo ne miyeyo imo. Paliya muntu walikuba ne muyeyo wakwambeti, “Ibi mbyonkute nibyakame ndenka.” Bonse balikuyabana bintu mbyobalikukute.
33 And with great power did the apostles give testimony of the resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord; and great grace was in them all.
Batumwa balikukute bukamboni bwangofu bwa kwambeti Yesu cakubinga walapunduka kubafu. Bonse Lesa walikubaleleka kwine.
34 For neither was there any one needy among them. For as many as were owners of lands or houses, sold them, and brought the price of the things they sold,
Nkapalikuba wabulilwa pakati pabo, pakwinga abo balikukute mabala, nambi manda, balikulishapo ne kuleta mali kuli batumwa.
35 And laid it down before the feet of the apostles. And distribution was made to every one, according as he had need.
Nabo batumwa balikuyaba mali ku muntu uliyense kwelana ne kubulilwa kwakendi.
36 And Joseph, who, by the apostles, was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, by interpretation, The son of consolation, ) a Levite, a Cyprian born,
Palikuba muntu walikukwiweti Yosefe, wamucikombo ca Levi, walasemenwa ku Saipulasi, uyo batumwa ngobalatumbika lina eti Banabasi, uku ekwambeti, “Shikuyuminisha.”
37 Having land, sold it, and brought the price, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
Nendi walaulisha libala lyakendi, ne kuleta mali kuli batumwa.
