Acts 4
1 While they were saying this to the people, the Priests, the Commander of the Temple Guard, and the Sadducees came upon them,
Petulo kacamba ne basa bantu, kali pamo ne Yohane, kwalesa beshimilumbo nabambi, pamo ne mukulene wa bamalonda baku Ng'anda ya Lesa, ne Basaduki nabambi.
2 highly incensed at their teaching the people and proclaiming in the case of Jesus the Resurrection from among the dead.
Balikuba bakalala pacebo cakwambeti, batumwa babili basa balikwiyisha bantu ne kukambauka sha kupunduka kwa Yesu.
3 They arrested the two Apostles and lodged them in custody till the next day; for it was already evening.
Neco balabekata ne kubabika mujele cindi ca mansailo kakuli kulashipuluku, kwambeti bekalemo mpaka lilo mumene.
4 But many of those who had listened to their preaching believed; and the number of the adult men had now grown to be about 5,000.
Nikukabeco, bantu bangi balanyumfwa maswi abatumwa basa balashoma. Cibelengelo cabashoma calakwana myanda makumi asanu.
5 The next day a meeting was held in Jerusalem of their Rulers, Elders, and Scribes,
Mpobwalaca mumene, batangunishi ba Bayuda ne bamakulene babo ne beshikwiyisha Milawo ya Mose, balabungana mu Yelusalemu.
6 with Annas the High Priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and the other members of the high-priestly family.
Popelapo palikuba Mukulene wa Beshimilumbo bonse Anasi ne Kayafa ne Yohane ne Alesandulo ne nabambi bamumukowa wa Shimilumbo Mukulene.
7 So they made the Apostles stand in the centre, and demanded of them, "By what power or in what name have you done this?"
Balemanika Petulo ne Yohane pakati ne kubepusheti, “Mwacikonshaconi kwinsa cisa, nambi mwensa cisa mungofu shabani?”
8 Then Peter was filled with the Holy Spirit, and he replied, "Rulers and Elders of the people,
Petulo, pakwisulilwa ne Mushimu Uswepa, walabakumbuleti, “Amwe batangunishi ba bantu, ne njamwe bamakulene muli pano.
9 if we to-day are under examination concerning the benefit conferred on a man helplessly lame, as to how this man has been cured;
Pakwinga mulatwipushunga lelo pa ncito yaina yalenshika pa muntu mulema usa ne kusengulwa kwakendi,
10 be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that through the name of Jesus the Anointed, the Nazarene, whom you crucified, but whom God has raised from among the dead-- through that name this man stands here before you in perfect health.
lino mwinshibe mwense, ne Baislayeli nabambi, uyu muntu wemana pamenso penu wapola cakupwililila, pacebo cangofu sha lina lya Yesu Klistu waku Nasaleti, usa ngomwalapopa palusanda, Lesa ngwalapundusha kubafu.”
11 This Jesus is the Stone treated with contempt by you the builders, but it has been made the Cornerstone.
Kwamba sha Yesu, Mabala Lesa alambangeti, “Libwe ndyomwalakana mobeshikwibaka ng'anda Lyopelyo lyalaba libwe Lyayandika kupita onse.”
12 And in no other is the great salvation to be found; for, in fact, there is no second name under Heaven that has been given among men through which we are to be saved."
Paliya muntu nakaba umo, welela kupulusha bantu, nsombi Yesu enkowa, pakwinga paliya lina nalimbi pacishi capanshi, Lesa ndyalapa muntu naumbi, lyelela kutupulusha.
13 As they looked on Peter and John so fearlessly outspoken--and also discovered that they were illiterate persons, untrained in the schools--they were surprised; and now they recognized them as having been with Jesus.
Ba munkuta mpobalabona kubula buyowa kwa Petulo ne Yohane, balakankamana, pakwinga balikuba bantu bulyo, babula lwiyo. Popelapo balenshibeti, balikwenda pamo ne Yesu.
14 And seeing the man standing with them--the man who had been cured--they had no reply to make.
Mpobalabona usa muntu walasengulwa kaliwemana pepi ne Petulo ne Yohane, balabula pa kubatotekela.
15 So they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrin while they conferred among themselves.
Balabambileti, bapule munkuta. Balo bashala kabalifwiya.
16 "What are we to do with these men?" they asked one another; for the fact that a remarkable miracle has been performed by them is well known to every one in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.
Balambeti, “Inga tubensaconi bantu aba? Bantu bonse bekala mu Yelusalemu bacinshi ncobensa bantu aba cikankamanisha ncotwelela kubula kucikana sobwe.
17 But to prevent the matter spreading any further among the people, let us stop them by threats from speaking in the future in this name to any one whatever."
Nomba pakutina kwambeti awa makani katayampuwo, katubatinishani kwambeti, kabatambanga sha Yesu babandikanga ne muntu uliyense.”
18 So they recalled the Apostles, and ordered them altogether to give up speaking or teaching in the name of Jesus.
Mpobalalifwiyeco, balabakuwa ne kubambilisheti, kabatashumbulanga, nambi kwiyisha sha Yesu.
19 But Peter and John replied, "Judge whether it is right in God's sight to listen to you instead of listening to God.
Nomba Petulo ne Yohane balabakumbuleti, “Kamulyomboloshani mobene, nicipeyo calulama pamenso a Lesa, kunyumfwila amwe? Nambi kunyumfwila Lesa?
20 As for us, what we have seen and heard we cannot help speaking about."
Mwandi afwe, nkatwelela kucileka kwambapo pabintu mbyotwalabona ne kubinyumfwa.”
21 The Court added further threats and then let them go, being quite unable to find any way of punishing them on account of the people, because all gave God the glory for the thing that had happened.
Nomba bankuta balabatinisha mwangofu, ne kubasungulula. Balacana kwambeti nkabelela kubapa cisubulo, pakwinga bantu bonse balikabatembaula Lesa palico calenshika.
22 For the man was over forty years of age on whom this miracle of restoration to health had been performed.
Usa muntu walasengulwa munshila yakankamanisha walikuba ne byaka byapita makumi ana.
23 After their release the two Apostles went to their friends, and told them all that the High Priests and Elders had said.
Petulo ne Yohane mpobalasungululwa, balaya kwambila banabo mbyobalambilwa ne beshimilumbo bamakulene ne bamakulene Baciyuda.
24 And they, upon hearing the story, all lifted up their voices to God and said, "O Sovereign Lord, it is Thou who didst make Heaven and earth and sea, and all that is in them,
Bashoma mpobalanyumfweco, balapaila pamo ne moyo umo. Balambeti, “Mwami Lesa, njamwe mwalalenga kwilu, ne cishi capanshi ne lwenje, kayi ne byonse bilimo.”
25 and didst say through the Holy Spirit by the lips of our forefather David Thy servant, "'Why have the nations stamped and raged, and the peoples formed futile plans?
Kupitila mu Mushimu Uswepa mwalamba ku mushali wetu mukulukulu Dafeti, musebenshi wenu uyo walambeti, Niciyani calakalalisha bantu batamwishi Lesa, inga bantu balapanganina cani bintu byabulyo?
26 The kings of the earth came near, and the rulers assembled together against the Lord and against His Anointed.'"
Bami bapacishi capanshi balalibambila, nabo bendeleshi balabungana pamo kulwana ne Lesa, kayi ne Wasalwa wakendi.
27 "They did indeed assemble in this city in hostility to Thy holy Servant Jesus whom Thou hadst anointed--Herod and Pontius Pilate with the Gentiles and also the tribes of Israel--
“Nicakubinga, Helode ne Ponsho Pilato, balabungana mu munshi muno, pamo ne bantu batamwinshi Lesa, kayi ne Baislayeli, kwambeti balwane ne Yesu musebenshi wenu Washomeka uyo ngomwalasala kuba Mesiya.
28 to do all that Thy power and Thy will had predetermined should be done.
“Neco, balenseco, amwe ncomwalabamba kendi mungofu shenu, kwelana ne kuyanda kwenu kwambeti celela kwinshika.
29 And now, Lord, listen to their threats, and enable Thy servants to proclaim Thy Message with fearless courage,
Neco Mwami, kamubonani ncebalatutinishinga, kamutunyamfwilishako tobasebenshi benu, kwambeti twambenga maswi enu kwakubula buyowa.
30 whilst Thou stretchest out Thine arm to cure men, and to give signs and marvels through the name of Thy holy Servant Jesus."
Tandabulani cikasa cenu kwambeti bantu basengulwe, bingashilo ne bishikukankamanisha, binshike mu lina lya Yesu musebenshi wenu washomeka.”
31 When they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled shook, and they were, one and all, filled with the Holy Spirit, and proceeded to tell God's Message with boldness.
Mpobalapwisha kupaila, ng'anda njobalikuba babunganamo yalatatika kutenkana. Bonse balesulilwa ne Mushimu Uswepa, balatatika kwamba maswi a Lesa kwakubula buyowa.
32 Among all those who had embraced the faith there was but one heart and soul, so that none of them claimed any of his possessions as his own, but everything they had was common property;
Likoto lya bashoma Lesa balikuba ne moyo umo ne miyeyo imo. Paliya muntu walikuba ne muyeyo wakwambeti, “Ibi mbyonkute nibyakame ndenka.” Bonse balikuyabana bintu mbyobalikukute.
33 while the Apostles with great force of conviction delivered their testimony as to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus; and great grace was upon them all.
Batumwa balikukute bukamboni bwangofu bwa kwambeti Yesu cakubinga walapunduka kubafu. Bonse Lesa walikubaleleka kwine.
34 And, in fact, there was not a needy man among them, for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the money which they realised,
Nkapalikuba wabulilwa pakati pabo, pakwinga abo balikukute mabala, nambi manda, balikulishapo ne kuleta mali kuli batumwa.
35 and gave it to the Apostles, and distribution was made to every one according to his wants.
Nabo batumwa balikuyaba mali ku muntu uliyense kwelana ne kubulilwa kwakendi.
36 In this way Joseph, whom the Apostles gave the name of Bar-nabas--signifying 'Son of Encouragement' --a Levite, a native of Cyprus,
Palikuba muntu walikukwiweti Yosefe, wamucikombo ca Levi, walasemenwa ku Saipulasi, uyo batumwa ngobalatumbika lina eti Banabasi, uku ekwambeti, “Shikuyuminisha.”
37 sold a farm which he had, and brought the money and gave it to the Apostles.
Nendi walaulisha libala lyakendi, ne kuleta mali kuli batumwa.
