Matendo ya Mitume 4
1 Bwakati Petro ni Yohana bhilongela ni bhanu, akuhani ni bhalinzi bha hekalu ni Masudukayo bhakabhalotela.
[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 Bhadadilili nesu kwa ndabha Petro ni Yohana bhajhe bhakabhafundisya bhanu kuhusu Yesu ni kutangasya juu jha kufufuka kwa muene kuh'omela kwa bhafu.
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 Bhakabhakamula ni kubhabheke mu ligereza hadi lukhela kabhele, kwani jha tayari kimili.
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 Lakini bhanu bhingi bhabhap'eliki ujumbe bhakyeriri; ni idadi jha bhagosi bhajhele bhakimini bhakadilibhu kujha 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 Hata bhojhifikili likhela ligono lya lyefuatili bhabhaha bha bhene bhasaeya ni bhaandishi, kwa pamonga bhakibhongenuye 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 Anasi kuhani mbaha ajhele, ni Kayafa, ni Yohana, ni Iskanda, ni bhoha bhabhajhele ni ndongo ghwa kuhani mbaha.
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 Bhobhabhabhekili Petro ni Yohana katikati jha bhene bhakabhakota, “Kwa uwezo bholoki, au kwa lilina lelaku mmbombi agha?”
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 Kisha Petro, akajha ameniuli Roho mtakatifu, akabhajobhela, “Muenga bhabhaha bha bhanu, ni bhaseya,
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 kama teteligono lya lelu tuikotibhwa kuhusu litendo linofu lyalibhombibhu kwa munu ojho n'tamu - kwanda jhakiki munu ajho tumponisi?
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 Hebu limanyikanayi e'tu kwa muenga ni kwa bhanu bhoha, bha Israeli kwamba kwa lihina lya yesu Kristu ghwa Nazareth, ambajhe fuwan'sulubisi, ambajhe K'yara amfufuili kuhoma kwa bhafu, ni kwa njela jha muene kwamba munu ajho ijhema apa mbele jhe muenga ni afya jhioha.
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 Yesu kristu ndo liganga ambalyo muenga bhajenzi mwalizalaulili, lakini bado libhombibhu kujha liganga libhaha lya palubhafu.
[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 Ujhelepi wokovu kwa munu ojho jhongi ghoa jhoha kwa mena lijhepi liganga lenge pasi pa mbingu lya bhapelibhu bhangi bhanu ambalyo kwa e'lu twibhwesya kuokolibhwa.
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 Henu bho bhabhuene bhujasiri bhwa Petro ni Yohana, ni kugundula kujha bhajhele bhanubhe kawaida bhabhaduli elimu, bhashangele, bhakamanya kujha Petro ni Yohana bhajhele pamonga ni Yesu.
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 Kwa ndabha bhambwene munu jhola jhaaponysibhu ajhemili pamonga nibhene, bhajhelepi ni khenu kya kujobha dhidi jha e'le.
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 Lakini bho bhamalili kumuamuru mitume bhabhokayi mbele jha mkutano ghwa baraza, bhalongili bhene kwa bhene.
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 Bhajobhili tubeta kubhabhomba bhuli bhanu abha? Ni kweli kujha muujiza ghwa ajabu ubhombiki kup'etela bhene umanyikene ni khila mmonga jha itama Yerusalemu; twibhwesya lepi kulibela e'lu.
[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 Lakini, ili kwamba lijambo e'le lisijheneli miongoni mwa bhanu, hebu tubhaonyayi bhasijobhi kabhele kwa munu jhejhioha kwa lihina e'le.
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 Bhakabhakuta Petro ni Yohana mugati ni kubhaamuru kamwe bhasiojobhi wala kufundisya kwa lihina lya Yesu.
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 Lakini Petro ni Yohana bhajobhili ni kubhajobhela, “kama ndo sahihi pamihu pa K'yara kubhatii muenga kuliko K'yara muhukumuayi mwebhene.
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 Ndabha tete twibhwesya lepikuleka kughenene mambo ambagho tughabhuene ni kughap'eleka.”
[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 Baada jhe kubhaonya nesu Petro ni Yohana, bhakabhaleka bhalotayi. Bhabhwesilepi kukabha sababu jhejhioha jhe kubha adhibu kwa ndabha bhanu bhoha bha jhele bhakan'sifu K'yara kwa khela kya kya khele kibhombiki.
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 Munu jha apokili muujiza bhwa uponyaji ajhe ni umri zaidi jha miaka arobaini.
23 Baada jha kubhalaka huru, petro ni Yohana bhakahida kwa bhanu bhabhene ni kubhataarifu ghoha ambagho makuhani bhabhaha ni bhaseya gha bhabhajobhili.
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 Bhobhaghap'eliki, bhakakwesya sauti sya bhane kwa pamonga kwa K'yara nikujobha, “Bwana, bhebhe jhaubhombili mbingu ni dunia ni nyanja ni khila khenu mugati mwake.
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 Bhebhe ambajhe kwa Roho mtakatifu kwa kinywa kya dadi jhitu Daudi, n'tumishi ghwa jhobhi, ghwa jhobili, “Kwa ndaya kiki bhanu bha mataifa bhabhombili ghasia, ni bhanu bhamali kutafakari mambo ghaghifwayi lepi?
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 Bhafalme bha dunia bhakipangili pamonga, ni bhatawala bhakibhongiye ku pamonga dhidi jha Bwana dhidi jha Masihi bhake.”
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 Ni hakika, bhoha Herode ni Pontio Pilato, pamonga ni bhanu bha mataifa ni bhanu bha Israeli, bhabhonganiki kwa pamonga katika mji ajobho dhidi jha n'tumishi bhwa jhobhi mtakatifu Yesu, ambajhe ghwa mpakili mafuta.
[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 Bhabhonganiki kwa pamonga kubhomba ghoha ambagho kibhoko kya jhobhi ni mapenzi gha jhobhi ghaamuiri kuhomela kubhwandelu kabla ghakona kuh'omela.
[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 Henu, Bwana, ghalangayi matisho gha bhene, na ukabhajalilayi bhatumishi bha jhobhi kulijobha litobhi lya bhebhe kwa ujasiri bhuoha.
“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 ili kwamba pa ghwinyosya kibhoko kya jhobhi koponyesya, ishara ni maajabu fisibhwese kuhomela kup'etela lihina lya n'tumishi ghwa jhobhi mtakatifu Yesu.”
[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 Bho bhamali kus/oka, eneo ambalyo bhabhonganiki kwa pamonga lyatikisibhu, na bhoha bhamemesibhu Roho mtakatifu, na bhanenili litobhi lya K'yara kwa bhujasiri.
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 Idadi jhibhaha, jhaa bhala bhabhaamini bhajhele ni muoyo umonga ni Roho jhimonga: na ajhelepi hata mmonga ghoa bhene jhaajobhili kujha kyokyoha kyaimiliki lya jhele kya muene: badala jhiake bhajhele ni fenu fyoha fya shirika.
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 Kwa nghofu mbaha mitume bhakajhe bhitangasya ushuhuda ghwa bhene kuhus ufufuo bhwa Bwana Yesu, ni neema mbaha jhejhele panani pabhene bhoha.
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 Pajhelepi ni munu jhejhiojha miongoni mwa bhene jhaap'ongokibhu ni mahitaji, kwa ndabha bhanu bhoha bha jhele ni hatia sya fibhanja au nyumba, bhafihemilisi kikuleta hela jha fenu fya bhahemelisi
[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 ni kufibheka pasi pa magolo gha mitume. Ni mgawanyo ghwa bhombiki, kwa khila muumini, kulengana ni khila mmonga fyaalo ndeghe.
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 Yusufu, mlawi, munu kuhoma kipro, apelibhu lihina lya Barnabasi ni mitume (ejho jhikatafiribhwayi, ndo muana ghwa faraja).
[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 Akajha ni n'gonda, ahemelisi ni kuleta hela, akasibheka pasi pamagologha mitume.
He sold one of his fields, and brought the money to the apostles [for them to distribute to other believers].
