Mitendo 5
1 Lyahanu mukwame zumwi yo sumpwa Ananiyasi, ni Safira mwihyabwe, babauzi imbali ye zintu zabo,
But a certain man, Ananias by name, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
2 Nabika imbali imwi yeshiliñi ibauzwa (mwihyabwe naye avakwizi), ni kuka leta onse avashali kumatende ava Apositola.
and put aside for himself part of the price, [his] wife also being privy to it; and having brought a certain part, laid it at the feet of the apostles.
3 Linu Pitorosi nati, “Ananiyasi, cinzi Satani hezula munkulo yako ku chenga Luhuho lu Jolola kupata imwi isheleñi ya muulo wa chisi chako?
But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled thy heart that thou shouldest lie to the Holy Spirit, and put aside for thyself a part of the price of the estate?
4 Hachisena chiveni kuwuziwa, kana chivali njichako? Linu hachi mana kuuziwa, kana chivasina muyediso yako? uva zezete vuti chezi zintu munkulo yako?” Kana uva chengi muntu, kono kwa Ireeza.
While it remained did it not remain to thee? and sold, was [it not] in thine own power? Why is it that thou hast purposed this thing in thine heart? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God.
5 Mu kuzuwa aa maanzwi, Ananiyasi nawa hansi niku huza lwa ma manimani. Kutiya kukando nikwezila vonse vava zuwi izo zintu.
And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and expired. And great fear came upon all who heard [it].
6 Baswisu niveza kumu vungila mwi sila, ni kumu nyamuna ni kukamuunga.
And the young men, rising up, swathed him up for burial, and having carried him out, buried him.
7 Haku hita inhola zotatwe, mwihyabwe cheza kwinjira, nasezivite chiva tendahali.
And it came to pass about three hours afterwards, that his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
8 Pitolosi nacho kwali, “Uni wambile kuti inkanda yenu mwa iwulisa cheyi inteko? “Nati “ee, cheyi inteko.”
And Peter answered her, Tell me if ye gave the estate for so much? And she said, Yes, for so much.
9 Linu Pitolosi nati kwali, “Muva zuminzani vule ku lika luhuho lwa Simwine? Lole, “Matende a vaka unga mwihyenu ena hamulyango, imi njete vakunyamune nawe.”
And Peter said to her, Why [is it] that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of [the] Lord? Lo, the feet of those that have buried thy husband [are] at the door, and they shall carry thee out.
10 Haho vulyo chawira hansi ha matende akwe, niku huza lwa mamanimani, imi vaswisu havenjira nikumu wana ufwile; chiva munyamuna, nikuka muunga hembali ni mwihyabwe.
And she fell down immediately at his feet and expired. And when the young men came in they found her dead; and, having carried her out, they buried her by her husband.
11 Kutiya kukando nikweza he nkereke yonse, ni heulu lya vonse vava zuwi izi zintu.
And great fear came upon all the assembly, and upon all who heard these things.
12 Imboniso zingi ni makazo zivali ku chitahala mukati ka vantu cha mayanza avapositola. Vavena vonse mu malibera a Salumoni.
And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders done among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch,
13 Imi kakwina niyava ku wola ku lipapata kuli kopanya navo; nikuva vulyo, vava ku tembwa ahulu ku vantu.
but of the rest durst no man join them, but the people magnified them;
14 Nikuva vulyo balumeri vangi vavakusi wera kwa Simwine, ikunga lya bakwame ni vaanakazi,
and believers were more than ever added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women; )
15 chovulyo vava ku letanga va lwala mumigwagwa niku va lazika ha mimbeta ni muzipura, kuti Pitolosi cha hita, munzunde wakwe mu uwole ku wila havamwi vavo.
so that they brought out the sick into the streets and put [them] on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter, when he came, might overshadow some one of them.
16 Nikweza hamwina impalo inkando ya vantu bazwa kumatoropo mwa Jerusalema, kuleta valwala navo vava vulumukiswa inhuho zisa jololi, imi vonse vava hozwa.
And the multitude also of the cities round about came together to Jerusalem, bringing sick persons and persons beset by unclean spirits, who were all healed.
17 Kono mupurisita yo hanzi na ziimana, nivonse vavena naye (chikwata chava Saduki); imi nive zula muna
And the high priest rising up, and all they that were with him, which is the sect of the Sadducees, were filled with wrath,
18 Niva viika mayanza havapositola, ni ku va vika mu ntorongo ya vantu.
and laid hands on the apostles and put them in the public prison.
19 Masiku Iñeloi lya Ireeza chilyeza kwi yalula milyango ye njorongo niku vazwisa hanze, ni kuvati.
But an angel of [the] Lord during the night opened the doors of the prison, and leading them out, said,
20 Muyende, muka zime mwi tempere, niku wamba ku bantu vonse manzwi avuhalo.”
Go ye and stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
21 Hava zuwa izi, nivenjira mwi tempere musihalizana niku ruta. Kono mupurisita yo hanzi cheza, navo vavena naye, niku supa inkuta hamwina, ni vonse bakulwana vavantu va Isiraere, ni kuva tumina kuntorongo kuka leeta vapositola.
And when they heard it, they entered very early into the temple and taught. And when the high priest was come, and they that were with him, they called together the council and all the elderhood of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
22 Kono vakapaso vava yendi kana vavakava wani muntorongo, ni vaka vola ni kwiza ku viha,
And when the officers were come, they did not find them in the prison; and returned and reported
23 “Twaka wana intorongo iyalitwe siinte ni ba ganteli ba zimene hamulyango, kono hatwa iyalula, kakwina itwa wana mukati.”
saying, We found the prison shut with all security, and the keepers standing at the doors; but when we had opened [them], within we found no one.
24 Linu muyendisi wa mwi tempere ni mupurisita mukulwana hava zuwa aa maanzwi, ciba ziyeleha chavo ni chiwola kuzwa mwateni.
And when they heard these words, both the priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests were in perplexity as to them, what this would come to.
25 Linu zumwi neza kuva wambila, “Vakwame vamu va vikite muntorongo vazimeene mwi tempere niva ruta vaantu.”
And some one coming reported to them, Lo, the men whom ye put in the prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people.
26 Linu muyendisi chayenda ni vakapaso, niku kavavoza, kono nikusena vulwisi, mukuti vava tite kuti vaantu pona chivava pwacoola cha mavwe.
Then the captain, having gone with the officers, brought them, not with violence, for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.
27 Hava kava leta, chivava leta havusu vwe nkuta. Mupurisita yo hanzi nava vuzola impuzo,
And they bring them and set them in the council. And the high priest asked them,
28 nacho, “Tumi ha mulandu wa kusa ruta mweli zina, imi, chimwe zuza Jerusalema ni ntuto zenu, niku tavera ku leta malaha ozu mukwame hetu.”
saying, We strictly enjoined you not to teach in this name: and lo, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and purpose to bring upon us the blood of this man.
29 Kono Pitolosi ni vapositola nivetaba, “Tulukera ku kuteka Ireeza insinyi vaantu.
But Peter answering, and the apostles, said, God must be obeyed rather than men.
30 Ireeza uveshetu ava kuzi Jesu, imuve hayi ni kumu hanzika hesamu.
The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom ye have slain, having hanged on a cross.
31 Ireeza ava mukuzikizi kwi yanza lyakwe lya chilyo kuva mwaana' simwine ni muhazi, kuha kuliwamba zivi kwa Isiraere, niku kwatila zivi.
Him has God exalted by his right hand as leader and saviour, to give repentance to Israel and remission of sins.
32 Tu mpaki zezi zintu, imi ni luhuho lu Jolola, ulo lwavahi kwavo vamu kuteka.”
And we are [his] witnesses of these things, and the Holy Spirit also, which God has given to those that obey him.
33 Lyahanu inkuta hai zuwa izi. Vava vengi nikusaka kwi haya vaapositola.
But they, when they heard [these things], were cut to the heart, and took counsel to kill them.
34 Kono mufalisi yava kusupwa Gamaliele, muruti wa mulao, yava kukutekwa ku vantu vonse, chazima niku laera vaapositola ku zwila hanze kaninizana.
But a certain [man], a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, held in honour of all the people, rose up in the council, and commanded to put the men out for a short while,
35 Linu chati kuvali, “Vakwame vaIsiraele, Mutwalize minahano kuchimusaka kutenda kwava vaantu.
and said to them, Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves as regards these men what ye are going to do;
36 Chenako ya kumasule, Teudiyasi avavuki nalibboka kuvaumwi, imi impalo yavakwame, valikana myanda yoone, nivenjila kwali. Nehaiwa, nivonse vavali kumu kuteka vava hasanywa ni kusa vachimwi.
for before these days Theudas rose up, alleging himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, were joined; who was slain, and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed and came to nothing.
37 Kuzwa kozu mukwame, Judasi wa Galileya navuka mumazuva achipalo nikuhindikisa vamwi vaantu mwisule lyaankwe. Naye chehaililwa, nivonse vakumu kuteka vava hasanywa.
After him rose Judas the Galilean in the days of the census, and drew away [a number of] people after him; and he perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.
38 Hanu ni mi wambila, muzwe kwava makwame, ni kuva siya vovona, ilikuti uwu muzezo kapa mutendo wa vaantu, muulyatililwe.
And now I say to you, Withdraw from these men and let them alone, for if this counsel or this work have its origin from men, it will be destroyed;
39 Kono heba wa Ireeza, kete muwole ku u lyatilila, mu wola kuli wana kuti chi mu kwete mulwisa Ireeza.” Imi chiva susuwezwa.
but if it be from God, ye will not be able to put them down, lest ye be found also fighters against God.
40 Linu ni va supila vaapositola mukati, nikuva kavoola ni kuva hambiliza kusa kawamba mwi zina lya Jesu, ni vava siya kuti vayende.
And they listened to his advice; and having called the apostles, they beat them, and enjoined them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them.
41 Chiva siya inkuta niva tabuluhite mukuti vavavalilwe kuku nyandisizwa che Izina.
They therefore went their way from [the] presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to be dishonoured for the name.
42 Kuzwaho chezuva, mwi tempere ni chenzubo, ninzuvo, vava ku lutirire ni kutaza Jesu kuva Keresite.
And every day, in the temple and in the houses, they ceased not teaching and announcing the glad tidings that Jesus [was] the Christ.
