Acts 4
1 As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to 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 being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
Balikuba bakalala pacebo cakwambeti, batumwa babili basa balikwiyisha bantu ne kukambauka sha kupunduka kwa Yesu.
3 They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening.
Neco balabekata ne kubabika mujele cindi ca mansailo kakuli kulashipuluku, kwambeti bekalemo mpaka lilo mumene.
4 But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.
Nikukabeco, bantu bangi balanyumfwa maswi abatumwa basa balashoma. Cibelengelo cabashoma calakwana myanda makumi asanu.
5 In the morning, their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem.
Mpobwalaca mumene, batangunishi ba Bayuda ne bamakulene babo ne beshikwiyisha Milawo ya Mose, balabungana mu Yelusalemu.
6 Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest.
Popelapo palikuba Mukulene wa Beshimilumbo bonse Anasi ne Kayafa ne Yohane ne Alesandulo ne nabambi bamumukowa wa Shimilumbo Mukulene.
7 When they had stood Peter and John in the middle of them, they inquired, “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, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “You rulers of the people and elders of Israel,
Petulo, pakwisulilwa ne Mushimu Uswepa, walabakumbuleti, “Amwe batangunishi ba bantu, ne njamwe bamakulene muli pano.
9 if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed,
Pakwinga mulatwipushunga lelo pa ncito yaina yalenshika pa muntu mulema usa ne kusengulwa kwakendi,
10 may it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, this man stands here before you whole in him.
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 He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’
Kwamba sha Yesu, Mabala Lesa alambangeti, “Libwe ndyomwalakana mobeshikwibaka ng'anda Lyopelyo lyalaba libwe Lyayandika kupita onse.”
12 There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must 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 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. They recognized that they had 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 Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
Mpobalabona usa muntu walasengulwa kaliwemana pepi ne Petulo ne Yohane, balabula pa kubatotekela.
15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
Balabambileti, bapule munkuta. Balo bashala kabalifwiya.
16 saying, “What shall we do to these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we can’t deny it.
Balambeti, “Inga tubensaconi bantu aba? Bantu bonse bekala mu Yelusalemu bacinshi ncobensa bantu aba cikankamanisha ncotwelela kubula kucikana sobwe.
17 But so that this spreads no further among the people, let’s threaten them, that from now on they don’t speak to anyone in this name.”
Nomba pakutina kwambeti awa makani katayampuwo, katubatinishani kwambeti, kabatambanga sha Yesu babandikanga ne muntu uliyense.”
18 They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
Mpobalalifwiyeco, balabakuwa ne kubambilisheti, kabatashumbulanga, nambi kwiyisha sha Yesu.
19 But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,
Nomba Petulo ne Yohane balabakumbuleti, “Kamulyomboloshani mobene, nicipeyo calulama pamenso a Lesa, kunyumfwila amwe? Nambi kunyumfwila Lesa?
20 for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.”
Mwandi afwe, nkatwelela kucileka kwambapo pabintu mbyotwalabona ne kubinyumfwa.”
21 When they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done.
Nomba bankuta balabatinisha mwangofu, ne kubasungulula. Balacana kwambeti nkabelela kubapa cisubulo, pakwinga bantu bonse balikabatembaula Lesa palico calenshika.
22 For the man on whom this miracle of healing was performed was more than forty years old.
Usa muntu walasengulwa munshila yakankamanisha walikuba ne byaka byapita makumi ana.
23 Being let go, they came to their own company and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
Petulo ne Yohane mpobalasungululwa, balaya kwambila banabo mbyobalambilwa ne beshimilumbo bamakulene ne bamakulene Baciyuda.
24 When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord and said, “O Lord, you are God, who made the heaven, the earth, the 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 who by the mouth of your servant David, said, ‘Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?
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 take a stand, and the rulers plot together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.’
Bami bapacishi capanshi balalibambila, nabo bendeleshi balabungana pamo kulwana ne Lesa, kayi ne Wasalwa wakendi.
27 “For truly, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed,
“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 whatever your hand and your counsel foreordained to happen.
“Neco, balenseco, amwe ncomwalabamba kendi mungofu shenu, kwelana ne kuyanda kwenu kwambeti celela kwinshika.
29 Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,
Neco Mwami, kamubonani ncebalatutinishinga, kamutunyamfwilishako tobasebenshi benu, kwambeti twambenga maswi enu kwakubula buyowa.
30 while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your 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 was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
Mpobalapwisha kupaila, ng'anda njobalikuba babunganamo yalatatika kutenkana. Bonse balesulilwa ne Mushimu Uswepa, balatatika kwamba maswi a Lesa kwakubula buyowa.
32 The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.
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 With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.
Batumwa balikukute bukamboni bwangofu bwa kwambeti Yesu cakubinga walapunduka kubafu. Bonse Lesa walikubaleleka kwine.
34 For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,
Nkapalikuba wabulilwa pakati pabo, pakwinga abo balikukute mabala, nambi manda, balikulishapo ne kuleta mali kuli batumwa.
35 and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.
Nabo batumwa balikuyaba mali ku muntu uliyense kwelana ne kubulilwa kwakendi.
36 Joses, who by the apostles was also called Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,
Palikuba muntu walikukwiweti Yosefe, wamucikombo ca Levi, walasemenwa ku Saipulasi, uyo batumwa ngobalatumbika lina eti Banabasi, uku ekwambeti, “Shikuyuminisha.”
37 having a field, sold it and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
Nendi walaulisha libala lyakendi, ne kuleta mali kuli batumwa.
