Acts 4
1 And as they are speaking to the people, there came to them the priests, and the magistrate of the temple, and the Sadducees—
Che Petulo ni che Yohana paŵaliji nkukunguluka ni ŵandu, ŵaiche ŵambopesi ni jwankulu jwa ŵakulindilila Nyuumba ja Akunnungu pamo ni Masadukayo.
2 being grieved because of their teaching the people, and preaching in Jesus the resurrection out of the dead—
Ŵatumbile nnope pakuŵa achinduna ŵala ŵaajiganyaga ŵandu kuti Che Yesu ŵasyuchile, chindu chachikulosya pangasisa kuti ŵandu ŵawile chachisyuka.
3 and they laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was evening already;
Nipele ŵakamwile che Petulo ni che Yohana, ŵaŵisile mu nyuumba jakutaŵilwa mpaka malaŵi jakwe, pakuŵa chaŵandichile chilo.
4 and many of those hearing the word believed, and the number of the men became, as it were, five thousand.
Nambo ŵajinji mwa ŵelewo ŵaŵapilikanile utenga u che Petulo ni che Yohana ŵakulupilile, ni ŵandu ŵaŵakulupilile ŵajonjesyeche ŵaliji mpela achalume elufu tano.
5 And it came to pass the next day, there were gathered together of them the rulers, and elders, and scribes, to Jerusalem,
Malaŵi jakwe, achakulu ŵa Ŵayahudi ni achachekulu ni ŵakwiganya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa ŵasongangene pamo ku Yelusalemu.
6 and Annas the chief priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the chief priest,
Ŵachingangene nawo che Anasi Jwambopesi Jwankulu ni che Kayafa ni che Yohana ni che Alekisanda ni ŵaneŵane ŵaŵaliji ŵa lukosyo lwao Jwambopesi Jwankulu.
7 and having set them in the midst, they were inquiring, “In what power, or in what name did you do this?”
Ŵaajimiche che Petulo ni che Yohana paujo pao, ŵaausisye, “Ana ŵanyamwe ntesile chelechi kwa machili chi ni kwa ulamusi wa acheni?”
8 Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
Pelepo che Petulo ali aguumbele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, ŵajanjile, “Mwanya Ilongola ŵa ŵandu ni achachekulu!
9 if we are examined today concerning the good deed to the ailing man, by whom he has been saved,
Iŵaga lelo jino nkutuusya yankati chindu chambone chachitendekwe kwa mundu juŵaliji ngakwenda ni iyatite pakulama,
10 be it known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised out of the dead, in Him has this one stood by before you whole.
nipele, ŵanyamwe ni ŵandu wose ŵa ku Isilaeli nkusachilwa kumanyilila kuti mundu ju akwima paujo penu lelo jino, alamiswe kwa machili ga liina li Che Yesu Kilisito jwa ku Nasaleti jumwaŵambile pansalaba, nambo Akunnungu ŵansyusisye.
11 This is the stone that was set at nothing by you—the builders, that became head of a corner;
Che Yesu ni jwakungamba Mmalembelo Gamaswela gagakuti, ‘Liganga limwalikanile ŵanyamwe ŵakutaŵa, sambano lilyolyo litendekwe kuŵa liganga lyekulungwa lya nsingi wa nyuumba.’
12 and there is not salvation in any other, for there is no other name under Heaven that has been given among men, in which it is required of us to be saved.”
Jwelejo jikape ni jwakukombola kwakulupusya ŵandu, pakuŵa pachilambo pose ngapagwa liina litupegwilwe lyalitukukombola kukulupuswa nalyo.”
13 And beholding the openness of Peter and John, and having perceived that they are illiterate men and commoners, they were wondering—they were also taking knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus—
Achakulu ŵa Nkungulu wo ŵaimanyilile kuti che Petulo ni che Yohana ŵaliji ŵanduŵandupe ni ŵandu ŵangasyoma, nipele ŵasimosile nnope kuwona iŵatite pakwanga pangali lipamba, ŵaimanyilile kuti ŵaliji pamo ni Che Yesu.
14 and seeing the man standing with them who has been healed, they had nothing to say against [it],
Nambo paŵambweni mundu juŵalamiswe jula ali ajimi pamo nawo, nganakola chakuŵecheta.
15 and having commanded them to go away out of the Sanhedrin, they took counsel with one another,
Nipele, ŵalamwile che Petulo ni che Yohana ajaulangane paasa pa Nkungulu ni achakulu ŵa Nkungulu ŵasigalile nkati achiusyanaga achinsyene pe.
16 saying, “What will we do to these men? Because that, indeed, a notable sign has been done through them [is] apparent to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, and we are not able to deny [it];
Ni ŵausyene, “Twatende ichichi ŵandu ŵa? Pakuŵa wose ŵakutama mu Yelusalemu akumanyilila chenene kuti atesile chimanyisyo chachikulungwa ni uweji ngatukukombola kukanila.
17 but that it may spread no further toward the people, let us strictly threaten them to no longer speak in this Name to any man.”
Nambo pakuti tusiŵile ikajenela nnope kwa ŵandu twajamuche kuti akaŵecheta ni mundu jwalijose kwa liina li Che Yesu.”
18 And having called them, they charged them not to speak at all, nor to teach, in the Name of Jesus,
Nipele ilongola ŵaaŵilasile sooni nkati ni kwakanya kuti anaŵechete sooni pelanga, atamuno kwiganya mu liina li Che Yesu.
19 and Peter and John answering to them said, “Whether it is righteous before God to listen to you rather than to God, judge;
Nambo che Petulo ni che Yohana ŵaajanjile ŵanyawo, “Iŵaga ili yambone paujo pa Akunnungu kunchimbichisyanga ŵanyamwe kupunda Akunnungu, nlamule mwachinsyene.
20 for we cannot but speak what we saw and heard.”
Pakuŵa ngatukombola kuleka kusala yeila itwiweni ni kuipilikana.”
21 And they having further threatened [them], let them go, finding no way how they may punish them, because of the people, because all were glorifying God for that which has been done,
Nipele achakulu ŵa Nkungulu wo ŵaakanyisye sooni che Petulo ni che Yohana kwa kalipa nnope ni kwagopola. Nganakombolanga kwajamuka pakuŵa ŵandu wose ŵaliji nkwakusya Akunnungu kwaligongo lya chichatendekwe cho.
22 for above forty years of age was the man on whom had been done this sign of the healing.
Ni ajula mundu juŵalamiswe kwa litala lya chimanyisyo chi, ŵaliji jwampunde yaka alobaini.
23 And being let go, they went to their own friends, and declared whatever the chief priests and the elders said to them,
Papopo che Petulo ni che Yohana paŵaagopwele ŵaiche kwa achinjao ni kwaŵalanjila yose iŵasalilwe ni ŵambopesi ni achachekulu.
24 and they having heard, lifted up the voice to God with one accord and said, “LORD, You [are] God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all that [are] in them,
Ŵanyawo paŵajipilikene ngani jo, kwa ntima umo ŵaapopelele Akunnungu achitiji, “Ambuje, alakwe ni jumwagumbile kwinani ni chilambo ni bahali ni indu yose yaili mwelemo!
25 who, through the mouth of Your servant David, said, Why did nations rage, and peoples meditate vain things?
Mwaŵechete kwa litala lya Mbumu jwa Akunnungu kwa kang'wa ja katumetume jwenu che Daudi atati ŵetu, ‘Ana kwachichi ŵandu ŵa ilambo ine atumbile? Ana kwachichi ŵandu akuganisya yangalimate?
26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the LORD and against His Christ;
Mamwenye ŵa ilambo aliŵichile chile, ni achakulu asongangene pamo, kuti ŵakanile Ambuje, ni Kilisito jwao juŵansagwile.’
27 for gathered together of a truth against Your holy child Jesus, whom You anointed, were both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with nations and peoples of Israel,
“Pakuŵa, kusyene che Helode ni che Pontio Pilato ni ŵandu ŵa ku Isilaeli pamo ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, ŵasongangene papapa pa musi, kunkanila Che Yesu katumetume jwenu jwanswela jumunsagwile aŵe Kilisito.
28 to do whatever Your hand and Your counsel determined before to come to pass.
Elo, ŵasongangene kukutendekanya yeila imwaisachile chitandile kundanda ikopochele kwa ulamusi wenu.
29 And now, LORD, look on their threatenings, and grant to Your servants to speak Your word with all freedom,
Nambo, alakwe Ambuje, nnole sambano kutujogoya kwao. Ntukombolechesye uweji achikapolo ŵenu kulalichila liloŵe lyenu pangajogopa.
30 in the stretching forth of Your hand, for healing, and signs, and wonders, to come to pass through the Name of Your holy child Jesus.”
Ngolosye nkono wenu mwalamye ŵandu ni kutendekanya imanyisyo ni yakusimonjeka kwa ulamusi u Che Yesu Katumetume jwenu Jwanswela.”
31 And they having prayed, the place was shaken in which they were gathered together, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and were speaking the word of God with freedom,
Paŵamalisisye kupopela, peuto paŵasongangene pala patenganiche, ni wose ŵagumbele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ni ŵajendelechele kulalichila liloŵe lya Akunnungu pangali lipamba.
32 and of the multitude of those who believed, the heart and the soul were one, and not one was saying that anything of the things he had was his own, but all things were in common to them.
Ni mpingo wa ŵelewo ŵakukulupilila waliji ni ntima umo ni nningwa umo. Ni nganapagwa mundu juŵatite kuti iŵakwete yo yakwe nsyene, nambo ŵagaŵene yose iŵakwete.
33 And with great power the apostles were giving the testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, great grace was also on them all,
Kwa machili gamajinji achinduna ŵala ŵaŵalasile umboni wa kusyuka kwa Ambuje Che Yesu, nombe Akunnungu ŵapele upile weujinji.
34 for there was not anyone among them who lacked, for as many as were possessors of fields, or houses, selling [them], were bringing the prices of the thing sold,
Nganapagwa mundu jwalijose juŵasoŵilwe ni chachilichose, pakuŵa juŵakwete ngunda atamuno majumba ŵasumisyaga ni kwikanasyo mbiya,
35 and were laying them at the feet of the apostles, and distribution was being made to each according as anyone had need.
ni kwapa achinduna, nombewo ŵagaŵenye kwa jwalijose mpela yaikuti pakunsoŵa.
36 And Joses, who was surnamed by the apostles Barnabas—which is, having been interpreted, Son of Comfort—a Levite, of Cyprus by birth,
Ni kwaliji ni Mlawi, juŵapagwile ku Kupulo, liina lyakwe che Yusufu, ni achinduna ŵala ŵammilasile che Banaba, malumbo gakwe, “Mundu jwakwatulasya ŵandu mitima.”
37 a field being his, having sold [it], brought the money and laid [it] at the feet of the apostles.
Nombejo ŵakwete ngunda wakwe, ni ŵausumisye, ŵajigele mbiya syo ni kwapa achinduna.
