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 having knowledge of it; and brought a certain part, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
Walanyumfwana ne mukashendi, ne kufunyapo mali ngobalaulisha libala, ambi walatwala kuli batumwa.
3 But Peter said, Ananias, why did Satan fill thy heart that thou shouldst lie to the Holy Spirit, and 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 While it remained, was it not thine own? And after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? Why didst thou conceive this thing in thy heart? Thou didst not lie 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 And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down, and expired. And great fear came on all that heard of it.
Hananiya mpwalanyumfwa maswi awa, walawa panshi ne kufwa popelapo. Ici calabayosha kwine bantu bonse balanyumfwako calenshika.
6 And the young men arose, and wrapt 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 had happened, came in.
Mpopalapita maola atatu, nendi mukashendi walengila mung'anda katacinshi cilenshiki.
8 Peter said to her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yes, for so much.
Petulo walamwipusheti, “Kong'ambila cena, sena awa emali onka ngomwaulisha libala lyenu? Mutukashuyo walakumbuleti, ‘Ee, wopelowo emulo wakendi.’
9 And Peter said to her, Why is it that ye agreed together to try the Spirit of the Lord? Lo! the feet of those who have buried thy husband are at the door, and they will carry thee out.
Kayi Petulo walamwipusheti, ‘Inga wasuminina cani kwambeti mwelekeshe Mushimu wa Mwami? Bantu bangakubika baibenu balipansa pa cishinga apa, nenjobe nibakumante.”
10 And she fell down immediately at his feet, and expired; and the young men, when they came in, found her dead, and carried her out, and 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 all that heard of these things.
Mubungano wonse ne bantu bonse nabambi, balanyumfwako balaba ne buyowa.
12 And many signs and wonders were wrought among the people by the hands of the apostles; 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 But of the rest no one dared to join himself to them. But the people highly honored them;
Paliya naba umo walikuba kunsa kwalikoto walalibanda kwambeti abunganenga nabo, nsombi ne kukabeco bantu balikubalumbaisha.
14 and more and more were believers 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 so that in the streets they brought out the sick, and laid them on beds and couches, in order that at least the shadow of Peter, as he passed, 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 The multitude also belonging to the cities around came together to Jerusalem bringing the sick, and those plagued by unclean spirits; and they were all healed.
Makoto abantu alesa kufuma muminshi yashinguluka Yelusalemu balikwisa kabali banyamuna balwashi ne bekatwa ne mishimu yaipa, kayi bonse balikusengulwa.
17 But the high-priest and all that were with him, which is the sect of the Sadducees, rose up and were filled with indignation,
Popelapo Mukulene wa Beshimilumbo, ne banendi ba mucipani ca Basaduki mulanyumfwa munyono. Neco balayeya kwinsapo kantu.
18 and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in the public prison.
Balabekata batumwa basa ne kubacalila mujele.
19 But an angel of the Lord in the 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 hearing this, they went into the temple at daybreak and taught. But the high-priest and they that were with him came and called together the council, and all the elders of the sons 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 the officers that came did not find them in the prison; and they returned and brought word,
Nomba mpobalashika kujele, baliya kubacanamo sobwe. Mpobalabwelako balabambileti,
23 saying, The prison we found shut in all security and the keepers standing at the doors: but when we opened them, we found no one 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 And when the priest, and the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were at a loss concerning them, to what this would come.
Mukulene wa bamalonda baku Ng'anda ya Lesa ne beshimilumbo bamakulene mpobalanyumfwa awa maswi, balapwilwa mano ne kuyeyeti nicani ceticinshike.
25 But one came and brought them word, Lo! 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, that they might not be stoned; for they feared the people.
Popelapo mukulene wa bamalonda, pamo ne bashilikali nabambi, balaya kubamanta batumwa. Nsombi baliya kubakakatisha batumwa, pakwinga balikutina bantu kwambeti ngababapwaya mabwe.
27 And having brought them, they set them before the council. And the high-priest questioned them,
Mpobalaleta batumwa basa, balabemanika pamenso pa nkuta inene ya Bayuda, apo Mukulene wa Beshimilumbo mpwalatatika kubepusha.
28 saying, We strictly commanded you not to teach in this name, and lo! ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and mean 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 But Peter and the 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 by hanging him on a cross;
Amwe mwalashina Yesu pakumupopa pa lusanda. Nomba Lesa wa bamashali betu bakulukulu walamupundusha kubafu.
31 him hath God exalted by his right hand, as a Leader and Saviour, 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 also is the Holy Spirit which God hath given to those who obey him.
Njafwe bakamboni ba bintu ibi, ne Mushimu Uswepa uyo Lesa ngwakute kupeti cipo kubantu bakute kumunyumfwila.”
33 But when they heard this, they were filled with rage, and were resolving to kill them.
Bomboloshi bankuta inene mpobalanyumfweco, balakalala kabayanda kubashina.
34 But there stood up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, in high esteem with all the people, and commanded to put the men forth a little while,
Nomba Mufalisi naumbi pakati pabo, lina lyakendi, Gamaliyele, shikwiyisha milawo, uyo bantu ngobalikupa bulemu, walemana. Walambeti, “Batumwa bapuleko pansa nanshi.”
35 and said to them [[of the council]], Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves as to what ye are about to do in respect to these men.
Apo lino walabambila bomboloshi Bankuta inene kwambeti, “Amwe Baislayeli, cenjelani ne ncomulayandanga kwinshila bantu aba.
36 For before these days arose 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 came 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 arose Judas the Galilaean, in the days of the registering, and drew people away after him; he also perished, and all, 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 to you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this design 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 will not be able to overthrow them; lest haply ye be found also fighting against God.
Nomba na bilafumunga kuli Lesa, nteti mucikonshe kubakoma sobwe. Ngamucaniketi mulalwanangowa ne Lesa.” Bonse balakonkela maswi ngalamba Gamaliyele.
40 And they were persuaded by him; and having called the apostles, they beat them, and commanded 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 They therefore went away from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame in behalf of that name;
Batumwa mpobalapula pansa, balikuba bakondwa kwambeti Lesa lababoneti belela kupenshewa cipansoni pacebo ca Yesu.
42 and every day, in the temple, and in houses, they ceased not to teach, and to publish the glad tidings concerning Jesus 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.
