Acts 4
1 As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them,
Pamene Petro ndi Yohane amayankhula ndi anthu, kunabwera ansembe, mkulu woyangʼanira Nyumba ya Mulungu ndiponso Asaduki.
2 being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
Iwo anakhumudwa kwambiri chifukwa atumwiwo amaphunzitsa anthu ndi kumalalikira za kuuka kwa akufa mwa Yesu.
3 They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening.
Iwo anagwira Petro ndi Yohane, popeza kunali kutada, anawayika mʼndende mpaka mmawa mwake.
4 But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.
Koma anthu ambiri amene anamva uthenga anakhulupirira, ndipo chiwerengero cha anthu chinakwana 5,000.
5 It happened in the morning, that their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem.
Mmawa mwake olamulira, akulu ndi aphunzitsi a malamulo anasonkhana mu Yerusalemu.
6 Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest.
Panali Anasi, Mkulu wa ansembe, Kayafa, Yohane ndi Alekisandro ndi ana a banja la mkulu wa ansembe.
7 When they had stood them in the middle of them, they inquired, "By what power, or in what name, have you done this?"
Iwo anayimiritsa Petro ndi Yohane patsogolo pawo nayamba kuwafunsa kuti, “Kodi munachita zimenezi ndi mphamvu yanji kapena mʼdzina la yani?”
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people, and elders,
Petro wodzazidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera, anawawuza kuti, “Inu olamulira ndi akulu!
9 if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed,
Ngati ife tikufunsidwa lero chifukwa cha ntchito yabwino imene yachitika pa munthu wolumala miyendo ndi mmene iye anachiritsidwira,
10 be it known to you all, and to all the children of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in him does this man stand here before you whole.
tsono dziwani izi inu ndi aliyense mu Israeli: munthuyu akuyima pamaso panu, wochiritsidwa kwathunthu, ndi chifukwa cha dzina la Yesu Khristu wa ku Nazareti amene munamupachika koma Mulungu anamuukitsa kwa akufa.
11 This one is the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.
Iye ndi “‘Mwala umene amisiri omanga nyumba anawukana, umenewo wasanduka mwala wa pa ngodya!’
12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among people by which we must be saved."
Chipulumutso sichipezeka mwa wina aliyense; pakuti palibe dzina lina pansi pa thambo limene lapatsidwa kwa anthu limene tiyenera kupulumutsidwa nalo.”
13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they were amazed. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.
Ataona kulimba mtima kwa Petro ndi Yohane ndi kuzindikira kuti anali osaphunzira, anthu wamba, anadabwa kwambiri ndipo anazindikira kuti anthuwa anakhala pamodzi ndi Yesu.
14 Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
Koma popeza iwo amamuona munthu amene anachiritsidwa atayima pamodzi ndi iwo, palibe chimene akananena.
15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
Chifukwa chake anawalamula kuti atuluke mʼbwalo la milandu ndipo akulu abwalowo anayamba kukambirana.
16 saying, "What should we do with these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.
Iwo anafunsana kuti, “Kodi anthuwa tichite nawo chiyani? Pakuti aliyense okhala mu Yerusalemu akudziwa kuti achita chodabwitsachi, ndipo ife sitingathe kukana.
17 But so this does not spread any further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they do not speak to anyone in this name."
Koma kuti mbiriyi isapitirire kuwanda pakati pa anthu, ife tiwachenjeze anthu amenewa kuti asayankhulenso kwa wina aliyense mʼdzina la Yesu.”
18 They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
Pamenepo anawayitananso ndipo anawalamula kuti asayankhule kapena kuphunzitsa konse mʼdzina la Yesu.
19 But Peter and John answered them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,
Koma Petro ndi Yohane anayankha kuti, “Weruzani nokha ngati nʼkwabwino pamaso pa Mulungu kumvera inu koposa Mulungu.
20 for we cannot help telling the things which we saw and heard."
Ife sitingaleke kuyankhula za zimene tinaziona ndi kuzimva.”
21 When they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done.
Atawonjeza kuwaopseza anawamasula. Sanathe kugwirizana njira yowalangira, chifukwa anthu onse amayamika Mulungu chifukwa cha zimene zinachitika.
22 For the man on whom this miracle of healing was performed was more than forty years old.
Ndipo munthu amene anachiritsidwayo anali ndi zaka makumi anayi.
23 Being let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
Atamasulidwa Petro ndi Yohane anapita kwa anzawo ndipo anawafotokozera zonse zimene akulu a ansembe ndi akulu anawawuza.
24 When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, "Lord, you made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them.
Anthu atamva zimenezi anafuwula ndi mtima umodzi napemphera kwa Mulungu. Iwo anati, “Ambuye wolamulira zonse, Inu munalenga kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi ndi nyanja ndiponso zonse zili mʼmenemo.
25 You said through the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David your servant: 'Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot in vain?
Inu munayankhula mwa Mzimu Woyera kudzera pakamwa pa Davide kholo lathu, mtumiki wanu kuti, “‘Nʼchifukwa chiyani anthu a mitundu ina akufuna kuchita chiwembu, ndipo akonzekera kuchita zopandapake?
26 The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take council together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.'
Mafumu a dziko lapansi akugwirizana nazo; ndipo olamulira asonkhana pamodzi kulimbana ndi Ambuye ndi wodzozedwa wakeyo.’
27 "For truly, in this city against your holy servant, Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the non-Jews and the people of Israel, were gathered together
Zoonadi, Herode ndi Pontiyo Pilato anasonkhana pamodzi ndi amitundu ndiponso Aisraeli, mu mzinda muno, kupanga zolimbana ndi mtumiki wanu woyera Yesu, amene Inu munamudzoza.
28 to do whatever your hand and your council foreordained to happen.
Iwo anachita zimene munakonzeratu mwachifuniro chanu ndi mphamvu yanu kuti zichitike.
29 Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,
Tsopano, Ambuye taonani kuti atiopseza, tithandizeni ife atumiki anu, kuti tiyankhule mawu anu molimba mtima.
30 while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus."
Tambasulani dzanja lanu kuchiritsa anthu ndipo kuti, zizindikiro zodabwitsa zichitike mʼdzina la mtumiki wanu woyera Yesu.”
31 When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
Iwo atatha kupemphera, malo amene anasonkhanapo anagwedezeka. Ndipo iwo onse anadzazidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera ndipo anayankhula Mawu a Mulungu molimba mtima.
32 And the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.
Okhulupirira onse anali a mtima umodzi, ndi maganizo amodzi. Palibe munthu amene amati zomwe anali nazo zinali zake zokha, koma amagawana chilichonse chimene anali nacho.
33 With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.
Atumwi anapitirira kuchitira umboni mwa mphamvu zakuuka kwa Ambuye Yesu, ndipo pa iwo panali chisomo chochuluka.
34 For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,
Panalibe anthu osowa kanthu pakati pawo. Pakuti amene anali ndi malo, kapena nyumba amagulitsa ndi kubweretsa ndalamazo
35 and put them at the apostles' feet, and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.
ndi kuzipereka kwa atumwi, ndipo zimagawidwa kwa aliyense amene anali ndi chosowa.
36 Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is translated, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus by birth,
Yosefe, wa fuko la Levi, wochokera ku Kupro amene atumwi anamutcha Barnaba, kutanthauza kuti mwana wachilimbikitso,
37 having a field, sold it, and brought the money and put it at the apostles' feet.
anagulitsa munda wake ndipo anadzapereka ndalamazo kwa atumwi.
