< Acts 3 >

1 [One day] Peter and John were going to the Temple [courtyard]. It was three o’clock in the afternoon, which was the time when people prayed [there publicly].
Wori Petro na Yohana bhaliga mbagenda mwi hekalu omwanya gwo kusabhwa, saa mwenda.
2 There was a man there who had been lame from the time he was born. He [was sitting by] the gate called Beautiful [Gate], at the entrance to the Temple [area]. People put him there every day, so that he could ask those who were entering [or leaving] the temple courtyard to give him some money.
Omunu kutya, omurema okusoka okwibhurwa, aliga nayekwa bhuli siku na aliga namamibhwa ku muryango gwa lihekalu ogwo ogubhilikirwa omukonde, korereki ature okusabha e bhiyanwa okusoka ku bhanu bhaliga mbagenda mwi hekalu.
3 As Peter and John were about to enter [the Temple courtyard], the lame man saw them and asked them several times to give him some money. (OR, The lame man said to them several times, “Please give me some money!”)
Ejire abharora Petro na Yohana mbarebherera okwingira mwi hekalu, nasabhwa ebhiyanwa.
4 As Peter and John looked directly at him, Peter said to him, “Look at us!”
Petro, amukajisishe ameso, amwi na Yohana, aikile, “nuchirore eswe.”
5 So he looked directly at them, expecting to get some [money] from them.
Omurema nabharora, netogera okubhona echinu kutya okusoka kubhene.
6 Then Peter said to him, “I do not have any money [MTY], but what I [can do], I will [do] for you. Jesus Christ, [who was] from Nazareth [town], has authorized [MTY] me [to heal you! So get up and] walk!”
Nawe Petro naika, “jiyera na jidhaabu anye ntanajo, nawe echo ninacho enisosha kwawe. Kwa lisina lya Yesu Kristo wa Nazareth, libhata.”
7 Then Peter grasped the man’s right hand and helped him to stand up. Immediately the man’s feet and ankles became strong.
Petro namugega kwo kubhoko kwaye kwe bhuryo, namwimusha inguru: amaguru gaye ne bhikongochwa bhya mawa gaye mbijira amanaga.
8 He jumped up and began to walk! Then he entered the Temple [area] with them, walking and leaping and praising God!
Nachuma inguru, omunu omurema nemereguru namba okulibhata; nengira mwi hekalu amwi na Petro na Yohana, nalibhata, nachuma, namukuya Nyamuanga.
9 All the people [there] saw that man walking and praising God.
Abhanu bhone bhamurorere nalibhata no kumukuya Nyamuanga.
10 They recognized that he was the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate in the Temple [courtyard] and ask [people] for money! So all the people there were greatly amazed at what had happened to him.
Nibhamenya ati liga ali munu uliya oyo aliga neyanja nasabhwa ebhiyanwa ku muryango omukonde gwa lihekalu; nibhejurwa ne chiruguro no kutang'ang'ara kunjuno yecho chasokereye ku mwene.
11 As the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were so surprised [that they did not know what to think] So they ran to the two apostles at the place [in the Temple courtyard] that is called {that [people] call} Solomon’s Porch.
Kutyo aliga abhagwatirie Petro na Yohana, abhanu bhona amwi nibhabhilimira mu chisunya echo ehibhirikirwa cha Sulemani, nibharugura muno.
12 When Peter saw that, he said to the crowd, “Fellow Israelites, (you should not be surprised about what has happened to this man!/why are you so surprised about what has happened to this man?) [RHQ] And you should not stare at us, either! You seem to [RHQ] think that the two of us enabled this man to walk because we [(exc)] ourselves are powerful or because we please God very much!
Petro ejile alirora linu, omwene nabhasubhya abhanu, “Emwe abhanu bha Israeli, okubhaki omurugura? Okubhaki omurosha ameso gemwe kweswe, korere ati chamkora unu alibhate kwa managa geswe abhene?”
13 [So I will tell you what is really happening]. Our ancestors, including Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, worshipped God. And now he has greatly honored Jesus, who always served him. Your [leaders] brought Jesus [to the governor, Pilate], so that [his soldiers would kill him]. And [God considers that] in front of Pilate you [were the ones who rejected] Jesus [as your king], after Pilate had decided that he should release Jesus.
Nyamuanga wa Ibrahimu, no wa Isaka, no wa Yakobo, Nyamuanga wa bhalata bheswe, amukusishe omukosi waye Yesu. Unu niwe oyo emwe mwananire no kumurema imbele yo bhusu bhwa Pilato, nawe omwene aliga aramuye okumutatira obhweru.
14 [Although Jesus] always did what was right/just and good, you rejected him. [Pilate wanted to release him, but] you urgently asked Pilate to release (a murderer/someone who had killed people)!
Mwamuremere Mmweru no mulegeresi, na badala yo mwene nimwenda omwiti atatirwe.
15 [God considers that] you killed [Jesus], the one who gives people [eternal] life. But God has greatly honored him (by causing him to become alive again after he died/by raising him from the dead). Many of us saw [him after that, and now] we [(exc)] are telling [you] about it.
Emwe mwamwitile Omukama wo bhujima, oyo Nyamuanga amwiruye okusoka mubhafuye eswe ni bhabhambasi bha linu.
16 It is because [we two] trusted in what Jesus [MTY, PRS] [could do, that he] made this man, whom you see and know, strong again. Yes, it is because we [(exc)] trusted in Jesus that he has completely healed this man for all of you to see.”
Mbe oli, kwo kwikirisha mwi sina lyaye, omunu unu oyo omumurora no kumenya, akorerwe kubha na managa. Elikirisha eryo elirabha ku Yesu limuyanire omwene obhuanga bhunu bhugumile, imbele yemwe emwe bhona.
17 “Now, my fellow-countrymen, I know that you and your leaders did that [to Jesus] because you [and they] did not know [that he was the Messiah].
Mbe oli, Bhaili, enimenya ati mwakorere kutyo kwo bhumumu, nikwo kutyo bhakorere abhabhemberesi bhemwe.
18 However, [your putting him to death] was what God had predicted that people would do. [Long ago] he told all the prophets [MTY] to write [what people would do to the Messiah. They wrote] that the Messiah, whom God [would send], would suffer [and die].
Nawe amagambo ago Nyamuanga abhabhwiliye bhwangu kwe minwa ja bharagi bhona, ati unu Kristo kajonyaka, oli agamalire.
19 So, turn away from your sinful behavior and ask God [to help you] do what pleases [him], in order that he may completely forgive you for your sins.
Mbe oli, mwigambe muinduke, korereki ati ebhiyeno bhyemwe bhisosibhweko chimwi, kunsonga gwije omwanya gwo kukondererwa okusokana no kubhao kwo Mukama;
20 [If you do that], there will be times [when you will know that] the Lord [God is] helping [you]. And some day he will [again] send back [to earth] the Messiah, whom he appointed for you. That person is Jesus.
na ati ature okumuragirira Kristo oyo asorerwe kwemwe, Yesu.
21 Jesus must stay in heaven until the time when God will cause all that he has created to become new. Long ago God promised [to do that, and] he chose holy prophets to tell [that to people]. (aiōn g165)
Omwene niwe oyo orwire lumuramire mpaka omwanya gwo kusubhya ebhinu bhyona, ebhyo Nyamuanga alomere kara kwe minwa ja bharagi bheru. (aiōn g165)
22 For [example, the prophet] Moses said [this about the Messiah]: ‘The Lord (your God/the God whom you [worship]) will cause someone to become a prophet to tell you [God’s message. God will send him] as [he sent] me, [and he will be] from among your own people. You must listen to everything that this prophet tells you [and obey him] [SYN].
Ka chimwi Musa aikile, 'Omukama Nyamuanga kemusha omuragi lwanye okusoka mu bhaili bhemwe. Mumutegereshe bhuli chinu echo kabhabhwira emwe.
23 [Those who] do not listen to [that prophet and obey] him will no longer belong to God’s people, and [God] will get rid of them’.”
Eisokerera ati bhuli munu oyo atakutegeresha ku muragi oyo ketibhwa chimwi asoke ku bhanu.'
24 [Peter continued], “All the prophets have told [about what would happen during] the time [MTY] [in which we(inc) are living. Those prophets include] Samuel [and all the others who] later also spoke [about these events] before they happened.
Yee, na bharagi bhona okusokerera Samweli na bhaliya bharubhile ku mwene, bharomere no kusimura jinsiku jinu.
25 You [as well as we(exc)] are the people [to whom God sent the Messiah, as] the prophets said [MTY] [that he would]. And when God strongly promised [to bless] our ancestors, he also surely promised to bless you. He said to Abraham [concerning the Messiah], ‘[I] will bless all people on the earth as a result of [what] your descendant [will do].’”
Emwe muri bhana bha bharagi na bha liagano eryo Nyamuanga akorere amwi na bhakaruka, lwa kutyo aikire kwa Abrahamu, 'Mu mbegu yao jinganda jona eja kuchalo ejibharikiwa.'
26 [Peter concluded], “[So] when God sent [to the earth] (Jesus, the one who always obeys him/his servant Jesus), he sent him first to you [Israelites] to bless you. [God will] enable you to stop doing what is wicked [and to start doing what pleases him].”
Baada ya Nyamuanga okumukusha omukosi waye, amutumile kwemwe kwamba, korereki abhabariki emwe kwo kuinduka okusoka ku bhiyeno bhyemwe.
