Acts 5
1 BUT a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
Lino palikuba muntu naumbi lina lyakendi Hananiya ne Safila mukashendi, nabo balaulisha libala lyabo.
2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
Walanyumfwana ne mukashendi, ne kufunyapo mali ngobalaulisha libala, ambi walatwala kuli batumwa.
3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of 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 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto 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 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
Hananiya mpwalanyumfwa maswi awa, walawa panshi ne kufwa popelapo. Ici calabayosha kwine bantu bonse balanyumfwako calenshika.
6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
Batuloba misepela balesa kufungaila citumbico mucikwisa, balacinyamuna ne kuya kubika mu manda.
7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
Mpopalapita maola atatu, nendi mukashendi walengila mung'anda katacinshi cilenshiki.
8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
Petulo walamwipusheti, “Kong'ambila cena, sena awa emali onka ngomwaulisha libala lyenu? Mutukashuyo walakumbuleti, ‘Ee, wopelowo emulo wakendi.’
9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
Kayi Petulo walamwipusheti, ‘Inga wasuminina cani kwambeti mwelekeshe Mushimu wa Mwami? Bantu bangakubika baibenu balipansa pa cishinga apa, nenjobe nibakumante.”
10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by 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 upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.
Mubungano wonse ne bantu bonse nabambi, balanyumfwako balaba ne buyowa.
12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.
Batumwa balensa bingashilo ne bishikukankamanisha bingi pakati pa bantu. Bonse bashoma Klistu balikubungana pamo mu Mukushi wa Solomoni.
13 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.
Paliya naba umo walikuba kunsa kwalikoto walalibanda kwambeti abunganenga nabo, nsombi ne kukabeco bantu balikubalumbaisha.
14 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)
Bantu bashoma muli Lesa balatatika kufulilako, cakwinseti lyalaba likoto linene lya batuloba ne batukashi.
15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.
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 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
Makoto abantu alesa kufuma muminshi yashinguluka Yelusalemu balikwisa kabali banyamuna balwashi ne bekatwa ne mishimu yaipa, kayi bonse balikusengulwa.
17 Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees, ) and were filled with indignation,
Popelapo Mukulene wa Beshimilumbo, ne banendi ba mucipani ca Basaduki mulanyumfwa munyono. Neco balayeya kwinsapo kantu.
18 And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
Balabekata batumwa basa ne kubacalila mujele.
19 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,
Nomba cindi camashiku, mungelo wa Mwami walabicalula bisasa bya jele ne kubapulishamo ne kubambileti,
20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
“Kamuyani mwambile bantu bonse mu Ng'anda ya Lesa maswi abuyumi ubu bwalinolino.”
21 And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
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 when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned, and told,
Nomba mpobalashika kujele, baliya kubacanamo sobwe. Mpobalabwelako balabambileti,
23 Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.
“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 Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.
Mukulene wa bamalonda baku Ng'anda ya Lesa ne beshimilumbo bamakulene mpobalanyumfwa awa maswi, balapwilwa mano ne kuyeyeti nicani ceticinshike.
25 Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
Muntu naumbi walesa kubambileti, “Kamunyumfwani! Basa bantu mbomwacalila mujele, bali mu Ng'anda ya Lesa baleyishinga bantu.”
26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.
Popelapo mukulene wa bamalonda, pamo ne bashilikali nabambi, balaya kubamanta batumwa. Nsombi baliya kubakakatisha batumwa, pakwinga balikutina bantu kwambeti ngababapwaya mabwe.
27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,
Mpobalaleta batumwa basa, balabemanika pamenso pa nkuta inene ya Bayuda, apo Mukulene wa Beshimilumbo mpwalatatika kubepusha.
28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.
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 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to 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 ye slew and hanged on a tree.
Amwe mwalashina Yesu pakumupopa pa lusanda. Nomba Lesa wa bamashali betu bakulukulu walamupundusha kubafu.
31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
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 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
Njafwe bakamboni ba bintu ibi, ne Mushimu Uswepa uyo Lesa ngwakute kupeti cipo kubantu bakute kumunyumfwila.”
33 When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.
Bomboloshi bankuta inene mpobalanyumfweco, balakalala kabayanda kubashina.
34 Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;
Nomba Mufalisi naumbi pakati pabo, lina lyakendi, Gamaliyele, shikwiyisha milawo, uyo bantu ngobalikupa bulemu, walemana. Walambeti, “Batumwa bapuleko pansa nanshi.”
35 And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.
Apo lino walabambila bomboloshi Bankuta inene kwambeti, “Amwe Baislayeli, cenjelani ne ncomulayandanga kwinshila bantu aba.
36 For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.
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 this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
Kayi pacindi ncobalikubelenga bantu, palesa naumbi lina lyakendi Yudasi waku Galileya, nendi walayungaula bantu, bangi balamukonkela. Neye balamushina, bantu bonse balikumukonkela balamwaika.
38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
Neco pankaniyi, ndamwambilishingeti, balekeni bantu aba, balekeni benga. Na ncobalayeyenga ne ncobalenshinga, bilafumunga kubantu nicikamwaike.
39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
Nomba na bilafumunga kuli Lesa, nteti mucikonshe kubakoma sobwe. Ngamucaniketi mulalwanangowa ne Lesa.” Bonse balakonkela maswi ngalamba Gamaliyele.
40 And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
Balabakuwa batumwa ne kubengisha mukati, ne kwambeti babakwapule bikoti, ne kubambileti, “Kamutakabweshapo kwambila bantu mu lina lya Yesu.” Popelapo balabaleka.
41 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
Batumwa mpobalapula pansa, balikuba bakondwa kwambeti Lesa lababoneti belela kupenshewa cipansoni pacebo ca Yesu.
42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus 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.
