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].
Lino busuba nabumbi Petulo ne Yohane balikuya ku Ng'anda ya Lesa cindi ca 3 koloko mansailo, kuya kupaila.
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.
Bantu nabambi balaleta muntu walasemwa kali mulema myendo. Masuba onse balikumubika pa cishinga ca Ng'anda ya Lesa, calikukwiweti “Cishinga Capa,” Kwambeti asengenga bantu balengilinga mu lubuwa lwa Ng'anda ya Lesa.
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!”)
Uyu muntu mpwalabona Petulo ne Yohane kabengila mu lubuwa lwa Ng'anda ya Lesa, walabasengeti, “Kamumpako kantu.”
4 As Peter and John looked directly at him, Peter said to him, “Look at us!”
Balo balamulangishisha, popelapo Petulo walamwambileti, “Kotulangishisha!”
5 So he looked directly at them, expecting to get some [money] from them.
Nendi walabangishisha kayeyeti natambuleko kantu.
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!”
Nomba Petulo walamwambileti, “Mali ndiyawa, nsombi nindikupe cintu nconkute. Mu Lina lya Yesu Klistu waku Nasaleti, Imana wende!”
7 Then Peter grasped the man’s right hand and helped him to stand up. Immediately the man’s feet and ankles became strong.
Walamwikata kucikasa cakululyo, ne kumunyamfwilisha kwimana. Popelapo bimpanta ne tupondopashi twakendi twalayuma yuma.
8 He jumped up and began to walk! Then he entered the Temple [area] with them, walking and leaping and praising God!
Walaulukila mwilu, walemana nji! ne kutatika kwenda kaculauka culauka, walengila mu lubuwa lwa Ng'anda ya Lesa pamo nendibo kalyendela mwine, katembaula Lesa.
9 All the people [there] saw that man walking and praising God.
Bantu bonse balamubona kenda ne kutembaula Lesa.
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.
Balamwinshibeti endiye walikwikala pa Cishinga Capa ca Ng'anda ya Lesa. Ici calenshika ku muntuyu calabakankamanisha ne kubapwisha mano.
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.
Bantu bonse, balakankamana kwine, balafwambila kumukushi walikukwiweti, “Mukushi wa Solomoni.” Uko kwalikuba Petulo ne Yohane, balacana usa muntu kali wabekatilila.
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!
Petulo mpwalaboneco walamba nabo bantu abo, walambeti, “Amwe Baislayeli mulakankamanangeconi? Mulatulangangeconi cisa eti muntuyu tulamwendeshe ne ngofu shetu tobene? Sena mulayeyengeti afwe njafwe tukute kupaila Lesa kupita amwe?
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.
Nteco ico sobwe, Lesa wa Abulahamu, Lesa wa Isake, Lesa Yakobo, kayi Lesa wa bamashali betu, elapa bulemeneno Yesu musebenshi wakendi. Amwe ngomwalatwala mu makasa a bendeleshi ne kumukana pamenso pa Pilato, nendi kayanda kumusungulula.
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)!
Nsombi mwalakana musebenshi washomeka kayi walulama, mwalasenga Pilato kwambeti, amusungulwile kapondo usa.
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.
Mwalashina citente ca buyumi, nsombi Lesa walamupundusha kubafu, kayi afwe tobakamboni pa makani awa.
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.”
Muntuyu ngomulabononga kayi ngomwinshi, lashomo lina lya Yesu. Lushomo ndwakute muli Yesu, elulayumishi myendo yakendi, kwambeti abe cena, mbuli ncomulamubononga mwense.”
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].
Kayi ndicinshi mobanse bame kwambeti, amwe ne batangunishi benu mwalensa ibi mwakubula kwinshiba.
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].
Nomba Lesa walambilalimo kubashinshimi bonse kwambeti, Klistu nakapenshewe, neco walacikwanilisha ndendende.
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.
Neco shiyani bwipishi, bwelelani kuli Lesa kwambeti afunye bwipishi bwenu,
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 mwinseco, cindi cakatontoshi keshikufuma pamenso pa Mwami Lesa nikakamushikile, kayi nakamutumine Klistu Yesu uyo Lesa ngwalasalilalimo cebo ca njamwe.
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)
Uyo nendi walatambulwa Kwilu mpaka kushika cindi cakubambulula bintu, mbuli Lesa ncalamba kupitila mubashinshimi bakendi bakulukulu bashomeka. (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].
Mose walambeti, Lesa Mwami wenu nakapundushepo umo pakati pabanse benu uyo eshakabe mushinshimi ulyeti ame. Mukamunyumfwilenga mbyeti akamwambilenga byonse.
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’.”
Uliyense eshakabule kunyumfwila mushinshimi uyo nibakamufunye pa bantu ba Lesa ne kumononga.
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.
Bashinshimi bonse balikwambapo, kutatikila Samiyele, mpaka bashinshimi bonse balabako panyuma pakendi, balikukambauka sha masuba ano.
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].’”
Kushomesha kwa Lesa kupitila mubashinshimi bakendi nikwenu, kayi mukutemo lubasu mu cipangano ncalabamba Lesa ne bamashali benu bakulukulu. Mbuli ncalambila Abulahamu kwambeti, Kupitila mubashukulu bakobe, ninkape colwe mishobo yonse ya pacishi capanshi.
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].”
Neco Lesa walasala musebenshi wakendi, cakutanguna walamutuma kuli njamwe, kwambeti amupe colwe pakunyamfwilisha uliyense kushiya nshila shakendi shaipa.
