Imbombo incha Vasuhwa 4
1 Akhasekhe akha Petro nu yohana puvalekhunchova na vanu, avalongonchi na valendeleli awatembile na masadukayo vakhavalutile.
[Meanwhile, in the temple courtyard, there were some] priests, the officer who was in charge of the temple police, and [also some] [SYN] Sadducee [sect members]. These men came to Peter and John while the two of them were speaking to the people.
2 Pakhuva vakhakarile sincho uhwakhuva u petro nu yohana valekhumanyisya avanu ukhumanya uyiesu nu khwenesya ukhunchukha khwamwene uhkukhuma khuvafwile.
These men were very angry, because the [two] apostles were teaching the people [about Jesus]. What they were telling the people was that because ([God caused Jesus to become alive again/God raised] Jesus [from the dead]), [God] would cause other people who had died to become alive again.
3 Vakhavibata nukhuvavikha murigelresa impakha esikhu eyeyekongire, uhwakhuva yikhalelwa khenikhe.
So those officials seized Peter and John. Then they put them in jail. [They had to wait] until the next day [to question Peter and John], because it was already evening [and it was contrary to their Jewish law to question people at night].
4 Pakhuva avanu vingi avakhapolakhe uvufumbwe vakhedikhe, pakhuva enafasi eyavagosi avakhedikhe vale elfu tano.
However, many people who had heard the message [from Peter] believed [in Jesus]. (OR, But many people had [already] believed [in Jesus, because] they had heard the message [from Peter].) So the number of men [who believed in Jesus] increased to about five 5,000.
5 Puyekhafikhe vukhelo esikhu eyikhonga, ukhuta avavakha vavene, avagogoro na vavisimba, pupaninie vakhelundamana khu Yerusalemu.
The next day [the supreme priest summoned] the [other] chief priests, the teachers of the [Jewish] laws, and the other members [of the Jewish Council, and they] gathered together [in one place] in Jerusalem.
6 U Anasi ondongonchi umbakhaalepo, mukayafa, nu Yohana, Isakanda, na voni avavale bokoro nu ndongonchi umbakha.
Annas, [the former] supreme priest, Caiaphas [who was the new supreme priest], [two other former supreme priests whose names were] John and Alexander, and other men who were related to the supreme priest [were there].
7 Puvakhavavekhile o Petro nu Yohana pagati pavene, vakhavavonchinche, “Khuvuwesyo vulekhu, au khulitawa lelekhu muvombile aga?”
They [commanded guards to] bring Peter and John into the courtroom [MTY] and have them stand in front of them. [Then one of] the leaders questioned [the two of] them, saying, “Who [do you two claim] gave you the power [to heal this man]? And who authorized [MTY] you to do this [DOU]?”
8 Ohwakhuva, o petro, andehwiwe omepo umbarache, akhavavula, “Umwe mwevavakha va vanu, na vagogoro.
So as the Holy Spirit completely controlled Peter, he said to them, “You [fellow Israelites] who rule us and [all of you other] elders, [listen]!
9 Inave ufwe esikhu eye tovu nehiwa pakhuva embomboenonu yevombiwe khumunu utamuoyo khuchila yelekhu umunu oyo - khuchila yelekhuumunu oyo avombiwe ukhuva inkhafu?
Today you are questioning us concerning our doing something good for a man who was crippled, and you asked us how he was healed.
10 Navonelemanyekhe elwa khuvanu voni avakhu Israel, ukhutakhulitawa elya yiesu kristi uvakhunazareti, uvengave mukhatesinchi uvunane unguruve anchusinch ukhukhuma khuvafwe, pakhuva khulugendo ulwamwene ukhuta umunu oyo ayikhwema pavolongolo pabyumwe iva nu wumii.
So [we(exc) want] you and all [of our other] fellow Israelites to know this: It is because Jesus the Messiah [MTY] from Nazareth healed this man that he is able to stand here. [God considers that] it was you who nailed Jesus to a cross, but God caused him to become alive again.
11 O yiesu kristi liwe elevabedile ava vinchenga, uhwakhuva levombiwe ukhuva liwe livakha lwa parukanchi.
[In the Psalms this was written about the Messiah: ] He is [like] [MET] the stone that was rejected by the builders {that the builders rejected}. But that stone became the most important stone in the building [that they were building]. [Jesus is that stone, and] you [are those builders who threw away the stone that was the most important one].
12 Vusipali uvolokhole khu munu uyunge yeyonii, olwakhuva lesipali elitawa elenge pasi pakherunga eletupeviwe twe vanu, elyunave khu elyo tuwesya ukhwedikhiwa”.
So he alone can save us [MTY]. [God] has sent only one person [MTY] into the world who can save us [from the guilt of our sins, and that person is Jesus]!”
13 pakhuva vavile valolile ovojasi owa petro nu Yohana, puvakhe riwe ukhuta vanu va khawaida avasavimbii, vakhaswigile, vakhavu manya ukhuta o Petro nu Yohana vale pupaninie nu Yiesu.
The [Jewish leaders] realized that Peter and John (were not afraid [of them]/spoke boldly). They also learned that the two men were ordinary people who had not studied in schools. So the leaders were amazed, and they realized that these men had associated with Jesus.
14 Pakhuva vakhabwene umunu uya khaponile emile paninie navene, vale vovole ekhenii ekhyakhune hoova khu ele.
They also saw the man who had been healed standing there with [the two of] them, so they were not able to say anything [to oppose Peter and John].
15 Pakhuva vavile vamwile ukhuta avasuhiwa vakhege pavorongoro palulundamano ulwanongwa, vanchoovile venekhuvene.
So the [Jewish leaders] commanded [guards] to take Peter, John, and the man outside of the room [where those leaders were meeting. After they did so], the leaders talked with each other [about Peter and John].
16 Vachoovile, tikhuvagakhandakhekhi avanu ava? vuyweli ukhuta amazingara gavombikhe uhkugendele khuveneguma nyikhe khela munu uyitama khuyerusalemu; satuwesya okhurebera ele.
[Being frustrated, one after another], they said, “(There is really nothing that we can do to [punish] these [two] men!/How can we [(inc)] do anything to [punish] these [two] men?) [RHQ] Almost everyone [HYP] who is living in Jerusalem knows that they have done an amazing miracle, so we cannot tell people that it did not happen!
17 Pakhuva, elevombiwe ele lesite ukhugenda muvanu, zekha tuvalole valekhe okhonchoova tena khumunu vevoni ukhugendela elitawa ele.
However, [we] must not allow other people to hear about [this miracle]. So we must tell these men that [we will punish them if they] continue to tell other people about this [MTY] man [who they say gave them the power to do it].”
18 Vakhavelangile o Petro nu Yohana igati nukhuvavola ukhuta valekhe okhunchoova nukhumanyisya khu litawa lwa Yiesu.
So the Jewish leaders [commanded guards] to bring the two apostles [into that room again. After they did so], they [commanded] them both that they should never speak about Jesus, and they should not teach [anyone about him] [MTY] [again].
19 Pakhuva o petro nu Yohana vakhavavulile ukhuta, “Inave hoeli pa mikho aga nguruve ukhuvedekha umwekhuriko Nguruve, kheganiaga yumwe.
But Peter and John replied, “Would God think that it is right [for us two] to obey you and not [to obey] him? [We(exc) will let] you decide [which of those you think is proper].
20 Pakhuva ufwe satuwesya ukhube khera ukhunchoova imbombo inchu tumchimwene nukhupulekhba “.
[But as for us, we cannot obey you]. We will not stop telling people about the things that we [(exc)] have seen [Jesus do] and what we have heard [him teach].”
21 Usekhe ugwakhuvavunga sineho o petro nu Yohana, vakhavalekha valutange, savakhawesye ukhupata eyira uwwakhuvatovela, ulwakhuva avawu vowi vavokhupatagiwie u Nguruve khu khela ekhikhavo rubikhe.
Then the [Jewish leaders] again told [Peter and John] not to disobey them. But all the people [there] were praising God about what had happened [to the lame man. The leaders knew that only God could have enabled Peter and John] to miraculously heal the man, because the man was more than 40 years old [and he was lame when his mother bore him. They also knew that the people would become angry if they punished the two apostles]. So, because they could not decide how to punish Peter and John, [they finally] let them go.
22 umunu uvakhupelile ekhuedego ekhupona nesigono arobaini.
23 akhasekhe akhavavikhere vavokhe, o Petro nu Yohana vainchile khuvanu vavene nukhuva gooni avalongonchi avavakha na vagogoro agavavovile.
After Peter and John had been released, they went to the other believers and reported all that the chief priests and [other Jewish] elders had said to them.
24 Vuvapulikhe, vakhatoncha nguruve nukhunchova, “vimbkha, vemwene vewavombile khukyanya ne kherunga ne nyanja ni vinufyoni ifiregati.
When they heard that, they [all] agreed as they prayed to God, and [one of] them prayed, “O Lord! You [(sg)] made the sky, the earth and the oceans, and everything in them.
25 Vemwene ukhata, khumepo umbarache, khundomo ungwa dada vetu udaudi, umbombi vakho, anchovile, “pukhekhi avanu avakhe rungavavombile eghasia, avanu vasagile imbombo inchisanchino geranile?
The Holy Spirit caused our ancestor, [King] David [MTY], who served you, to write these words: [It is ridiculous] [RHQ] that the non-Jews became angry and the Israelite people planned uselessly [to oppose God].
26 Avatwa avakherunga vemilepo paninie, navavakha valundaminie pupaninie umbakha wayu kristi va mwene”.
The kings of the world prepared to fight [God’s Ruler], and the [other] rulers assembled together [with them] to oppose the Lord [God] and the one whom he had appointed [to be the Messiah].
27 Je lweli, vooni o Herode nu Pontio Pilato, paninie na vanu va nkerunga na vanu va Israel, vakherundanie pupaninie pakherunga ekhenundongonchi vaakho u Yiesu umbala nche, uvikhabakhile imono.
[Lord, we know that what you(sg) said long ago was true], because [King] Herod and the [governor], Pontius Pilate, and many other people, both non-Jews and Israelites, assembled together [here] in this city. [They] planned [to kill] Jesus, who devotedly served you [and] whom you appointed [MTY] [to be the Messiah].
28 Vakharundaminie pupaninie ukhuvomba gooni gago ekhevokho khwakho nuwegane wakho vulamwile ukhukhuma pawancho pakhuva sagakhakhumile.
[Because] you [(sg)] are all-powerful, those people did [only] what you [SYN] allowed [them to do]. It was what you decided long ago would happen.”
29 Leno umbakha, lolaga uvudwado avu, ukhavalongonche avavombii vakho ukhunchoova elimwenyu lwakhokho vujasi wooni.
“So now, Lord, listen to what they are saying about punishing us! Help us who serve you [(sg)] to very boldly speak messages from you [(sg) about Jesus]
30 ukhuta vuvukherekha ekhevokho khwakho khuponya, ifinu ifwakhudega viwesye ukhukhumila ukhugendela nditawaelwa ndongonchi vaakho umbalamehe u Yiesu '".
[Also], by your power [MTY] miraculously heal [sick people] and do other amazing miracles [SYN] that show people your power! Ask Jesus, who always serves you, [to give us the authority] [MTY] [to do such miracles]!”
31 Vuvamalile ukhwesaya, esekhemu eyiv khalundeminie pupaninie yikhasukhanikha, khukhuta vanchoovile elimenyu elwa Nguruve nu vujasi.
When the believers had finished praying, the place where they were meeting shook. All of them were (completely controlled/empowered) by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit (completely controlled/empowered) all of them}, with the result that they began to speak boldly the words that God [told them to speak].
32 Akhasekhe khavakhu avavedikhe valene numbula yemo nu mepo yumo, pakhuva asiparina umo muvene uyanchovile ukhuta khyokhyoni ekhewibite khwale khwamwene yuywa, pakhuva vale ni fiinu vyooru paninie.
The group of people who had believed [in Jesus] were completely agreed about what they thought and what they wanted/desired. Not one of them claimed that he [alone] owned anything. Instead, they shared with one another everything that they had.
33 khumakha gooni avasuhiwa pakhuva valekhunchova ludagano lnchakhunchukha khwa mbakha o Yiesu, nu luhungu uluvakha lukhale pakwanya pavene vooni.
The apostles continued to tell others, very powerfully, [that God] had (caused the Lord Jesus to become alive again/raised the Lord Jesus from the dead). [People knew that God] was graciously helping all the believers.
34 Sapalepo numunu vevoni pagati pavene evesinogo uvuhitiji, pakhuva avanu vooni vale nu vuweso uwamjumba, vakhagonchi nche nukhu leta ikhhela incha vinu ifivakhago nchinche.
[Some of] the believers who owned land or houses would occasionally sell [some of] their property. Then they would bring [the money for what they sold]
35 Nu khufivekha pasi pavasuhiwa mulugavo lukhavombikhe ukhule ngana nu keresiti, ukhulengano nu vunogwe wa khela munu.
and they would present it to the apostles [MTY]. Then [the apostles] would give money to any [believer] who needed [it]. So no one among the believers was lacking anything.
36 O Yusuphu, ondawi, umunu ukhukhuma kipro, apeviwe elitawonve Barnabas na vasuhiwa (eyo ikitafasiriwa, ve mwana va lukhungu).
[For example, there was] Joseph. [He was] a descendant of Levi [and he was born] on Cyprus [Island]. The apostles called him Barnabas; [in the Jewish language] that name means a person who [IDM] always encourages [others].
37 Ale ne khwale, agonchicnhe akha leta ikhela, avekhile pasi pa vasuhiwa.
He sold one of his fields, and brought the money to the apostles [for them to distribute to other believers].
