Acts 5
1 But, a certain man, Ananias by name, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
Nambu mundu mmonga liina laki Anania na mdala waki Safila vagulisi mewa chipandi cha mgunda wavi.
2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it; and, bringing a certain part, at the feet of the Apostles, he laid it.
Na mdala waki amanyili hotohoto kuvya mgwana waki afiyili mashonga gangi geapewili, na zingi zila azigotwili kwa vamitumi.
3 But Peter said—Ananias! wherefore did Satan fill thy heart, that thou shouldst deal falsely with the Holy Spirit, and keep back part of the price of the field?
Petili akamkota, “Anania ndava kyani Setani auyingili mtima waku na kumkonga Mpungu Msopi ujifiyili mashonga gangi geupewili mumgunda wula?
4 While it remained, was it not, as thine own, it remained? and, when sold, was it not, in thine own authority, that it still continued? Why was it that thou didst contrive in thy heart this deed? Thou hast not dealt falsely with men but, with God.
Kwakona kugulisa mgunda wenuwo wavi waku, na pawaligulisi mashonga gala gavi gaku, uhengela chewigana. Ndava kyani, wahamwili mumtima waku kuhenga lijambu lenili? Umkongili lepi mundu, nambu umkongili Chapanga!”
5 And, as Ananias heard these words, he fell, and expired. And there came great fear upon all that heard;
Anania peagayuwini malovi ago, akagwa pahi akafwa na vandu voha vevagayuwini mambu ago vakayogopa neju.
6 But the young men, rising up, wrapped him about, and, bearing him forth, buried him.
Vasongolo vakabwela, vakamugubika higa yaki kwa nyula ya msopi, vakamuwusa kuvala vakamuzika.
7 And it came to pass, after about three hours interval, that his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
Pagamaliki masaa ngati gadatu, mdala waki changali kumanya mambu gegahumalili, akayingila mugati mula.
8 And Peter began to say unto her—Tell me! was it, for so much, ye gave up the field? And she said—Yea! for so much.
Petili akamkota, “Unijovela! Wu mashonga gemwapewili kwa kugulisa mgunda ndi gagaga?” Ndi mwene akamyangula, “Ena, ndi genaga.”
9 And, Peter, [said] unto her—Why was it agreed by you to put to the proof the Spirit of the Lord? Lo! the feet of them that have buried thy husband, are at the door, and they shall bear thee forth.
Hinu, Petili akamjovela mdala yula, “Wuli muyidakilini kumlinga Mpungu wa Bambu? Yuwanila! Vandu vala vevahambili kumzika mgwana waku, hinu vavi pamlyangu ndi yati vakukutola mewa na veve.”
10 And she fell instantly at his feet, and expired. And the young men, coming in, found her dead; and, bearing her forth, they buried her with her husband.
Bahapo safila akagwa palongolo ya magendelu ga Petili, akafwa. Vasongolo vala pavayingili vamkolili amali kufwa, ndi vakamuwusa kuvala, vakamuzika papipi na mngwana waki.
11 And there came great fear upon the whole assembly, and upon all them that heard these things.
Wogohi uvaha ukavayingila msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu voha na vandu voha, vevayuwini malovi ga lijambu lenilo.
12 And, through the hands of the Apostles, were coming to pass many signs and wonders among the people; and they were all with one accord in the portico of Solomon;
Chapanga ahengili kwa njila ya vanalihengu gachinamtiti na makangaso gamahele pagati ya vandu. Na vamsadika vakonganikayi pamonga mulibanji la Solomoni.
13 Howbeit, of the rest, no one, durst join himself unto them, —nevertheless the people continued to magnify them;
Mundu yungi yoyoha angalikuvya msadika, valingili lepi kuwungana nawu. Nambu vandu vangi vangasadika vavalumbalili.
14 And, the more, were being added, when they believed in the Lord, throngs both of men and women; —
Nambu vandu vamahele vevamsadiki Bambu, vagosi na vadala vakayonjokeseka neju.
15 So that, even into the broad-ways, were they bringing forth the sick, and laying them on small couches and beds, in order that, if Peter were coming along, even perchance his shadow, might overshadow some one of them.
Hati vandu vavagegili vatamu vavi munjila na kuvagonesa mu lusongwani na mumipasa, muni Petili akapitayi, mbanga chimuwili chaki chivahikila vangi pagati yavi.
16 Moreover even the throng of the cities all round Jerusalem was coming together, bearing sick folk, and such as were harassed by impure spirits, —who, indeed, were being cured, one and all.
Vandu vamahele vabwelili kuhuma mumiji yeyitindila Yelusalemu, vavaletili vatamu wavi na vevavi na mizuka yihakau, ndi voha vakalamiswa.
17 But the High-priest, arising, and all who were with him, —being the sect of the Sadducees, —were filled with jealousy,
Kangi, Mteta Mkulu na vayaki va chikundi cha Vasadukayu ndi vandu vevisadika kuvya vandu nakuhotola kuyuka va pandu penapo, vakayva na wihu kwa vamitumi.
18 And thrust their hands upon the Apostles, and put them in a public ward.
Hinu vakavakamula vamitumi na kuvakunga muchifungu chikulu.
19 But, a messenger of the Lord, by night, opened the doors of the prison; and, leading them out, said—
Nambu kilu mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga, akadindula mlyangu wa muchifungu yikulu, akavahumisa kuvala, akavajovela,
20 Be going your way, and, taking your stand, be speaking, in the temple, unto the people, all the declarations of this Life.
“Muhambayi mukayima Munyumba ya Chapanga, mkavajovela vandu malovi ga kuuvala wumi wa mupya.”
21 Now, when they heard this, they entered, under the dawn, into the temple, and began teaching. And the High-priest and they who were with him, arriving, called together the high-council, and all the senate of the sons of Israel; and sent off unto the prison, to have them brought.
Vamitumi vakayidakila, vakayingila Munyumba ya Chapanga lukela pehe, vakatumbula kuwula. Mteta Mkulu na vayaki pavahikili, vakemili mngonganu wa libanji likulu na vagogo voha va Isilaeli, kangi vavatumili vandu kujela vavaleta vamitumi vala.
22 And, the officers who came to the place, found them not in the prison; and, returning, brought tidings,
Nambu valonda va muchifungu pavahikili, vavakolili lepi. Ndi vakawuya na kujova kwa vakulu va libanji,
23 Saying—The prison, found we locked with all safety, and the keepers standing at the doors; but, when we had opened the prison, inside, found we, no one.
“Tikolili jela yidindanu na valonda vavi mumilyangu kulindalila. Nambu patadindwili milyangu tamkolili lepi mundu yoyoha mugati.”
24 Now, when both the captain of the temple and the High-priests heard these words, they were utterly at a loss concerning them—what perhaps this might come to.
Mkulu wa valonda wa Nyumba ya Chapanga na Vamteta Vakulu pevayuwini genago, vakavya na wogohi, ndava nakuchimanya chechavakolili.
25 But some one, entering, brought tidings unto them—Lo! the men whom ye put in the prison, are in the temple, standing, and teaching the people!
Kangi, akabwela mundu mmonga na kuvajovela, “Yuwanila! Vandu vala vemkavakungili muchifungu, hinu vavi Munyumba ya Chapanga vakuvawula vandu.”
26 Then, the captain with the officers, departing, brought them—not with violence, —for they were afraid of the people, lest they should be stoned;
Bahapo mkulu wa valonda na vahenga lihengu vaki, vakahamba Munyumba ya Chapanga vakavaleta. Nambu nakuvakamula kwa makakala, muni vayogwipi vandu yati vakuvatova na maganga.
27 But, leading them in, set them in the high- council. And the High-priest questioned them,
Hinu, vavapeliki vamitumi vala, vakavayimika palongolo ya libanji, ndi Mteta Mkulu akavajovela,
28 Saying—Strictly, did we charge you not to be teaching upon this name; and lo! ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and are minded to bring down upon us, the blood of this man.
“Tavabesili hotohoto kuwula paliina la mundu uyu, hinu mugadandisi mawuliwu ginu pa Yelusalemu poha mwigana kutigegesa ngasi ya mundu uyu.”
29 But Peter and the Apostles, answering, said—It is needful to be yielding obedience unto God rather than unto men: —
Petili pamonga na vamitumi vayaki vakayangula, “Yikutigana kumyidakila Chapanga, kuliku mundu.
30 The God of our fathers, hath raised up Jesus, —whom, ye, got into your hands, suspending him upon a tree: —
Chapanga wa vagogo vitu amyukisi Yesu mwemwamkomili nyenye na kumvamba pamsalaba.
31 Him, as Princely-leader and Saviour, hath God exalted unto his right hand, —to give repentance unto Israel, and remission of sins.
Mwenuyu ndi yula mwealumbiwi na Chapanga mbaka upandi wa kulyelela, kuvya Chilongosi na Msangula, muni avakita vandu va Isilaeli vamuwuyila Chapanga, muni vapata kulekekesewa kumbudila.
32 And, we, are witnesses of these things, —also the Holy Spirit, which God hath given unto them who are yielding obedience unto him.
Tete ndi taliwene lijambu lenilo, na Mpungu Msopi, Chapanga avapelili vala vevakumyidakila mwene.”
33 And, they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were making up their minds to slay them.
Vajumbi voha va libanji lila pevayuwini genago, vakamema ligoga vakahamula kuvakoma.
34 But a certain man, rising up in the high-council, by name Gamaliel, a law-teacher honoured by all the people, gave orders to put the men, outside, for a little, —
Nambu mundu mmonga Mfalisayu liina laki Gamalieli, muwula wa malagizu ga Bambu geampeli Musa na mweitopeswa na vandu voha. Akayima mu libanji palongolo ya vandu akalagiza vamitumi vala vawusiwayi kuvala mulukumbi luhupi.
35 And said unto them—Men of Israel! be taking heed unto yourselves, what ye are about to inflict upon these men.
Kangi akavajovela vajumbi va libanji vala, “Vandu va Isilaeli, mjiyangalila kwakona mwangakita, chemwigana kuvakitila vandu ava!
36 For, before these days, there rose up one Theudas, affirming, himself, to be somebody, —unto whom was inclined a number of men, about four hundred; who was slain, and, all as many as had been trusting in him, were disbanded, and came to nothing.
Magono ga mumbele, ahumalili mundu mmonga liina laki Teudosi, akajijovela kuvya mundu wa kutopela, vandu ngati miya mcheche vakajiwunga nayu. Nambu akomiwi, kangi vamulanda vaki vakapechengana chikundi chaki chafwili.
37 After him, rose up Judas the Galilaean, in the days of the enrolling, and drew a people into revolt after him; and, he, perished, and, all, as many as had trusted in him, were scattered.
Mwanakandahi kavili, lukumbi lwa kuvalangiwa vandu, ahumalili Yuda wa ku Galilaya. Mewawa mwenuyo avakulukisi vandu vakamulanda, nambu mwenuyo mewawa akomiwi vamulanda vaki vakapechengana.
38 Now, therefore, I say unto you—stand aloof from these men, and let them alone; because if, of men, be this project or this work, it will be overthrown, —
Hinu nene nikuvajovela ndava ya mhalu uwu, mujiyepa na vandu ava! Mvalekayi vahamba. Ndava muni ngati mpangu wenuwo utumbuliwi na vandu yati wiyaga wene.
39 But, if it is, of God, ye will not be able to overthrow them: lest once, even fighters against God, ye be found.
Nambu ngati mpangu wenuwu uhumili kwa Chapanga, nakuhotola kuvabesa vandu ava, muni mwavene yati mukujikolela mukumbela Chapanga!” Ndi vakayidakilana na malovi ga Gamalieli.
40 And they were persuaded by him; and, calling unto them the Apostles, they, with beating, charged them not be speaking upon the name of Jesus; and let them go.
Hinu, vakavakemele vamitumi vala, vakahamula vatovewa michapilu na kuvabesa vakotoka kuwula kavili paliina la Yesu, ndi vakavaleka vahamba.
41 They, therefore, went rejoicing from the presence of the high-council; in that they had been accounted worthy, in behalf of The Name, to suffer dishonour.
Hinu, vamitumi vakahuma mu libanji kuni vamemi luheku, muni Chapanga avahololili kuvya vene yavaganili kukola soni ndava ya liina la Yesu.
42 And, every day in the temple, and at home, they ceased not to be teaching, and telling the good news as to the Anointed Jesus.
Kila ligono vayendalili kuwula na kukokosa Munyumba ya Chapanga na munyumba za vandu, Lilovi la Bwina la Yesu Kilisitu.
