Mitendo 5
1 Lyahanu mukwame zumwi yo sumpwa Ananiyasi, ni Safira mwihyabwe, babauzi imbali ye zintu zabo,
But a certaine man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, solde a possession,
2 Nabika imbali imwi yeshiliñi ibauzwa (mwihyabwe naye avakwizi), ni kuka leta onse avashali kumatende ava Apositola.
And kept away part of the price, his wife also being of counsell, and brought a certaine part, and layde it downe at the Apostles feete.
3 Linu Pitorosi nati, “Ananiyasi, cinzi Satani hezula munkulo yako ku chenga Luhuho lu Jolola kupata imwi isheleñi ya muulo wa chisi chako?
Then saide Peter, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart, that thou shouldest lye vnto the holy Ghost, and keepe away part of the price of this possession?
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.
Whiles it remained, appertained it not vnto thee? and after it was solde, was it not in thine owne power? howe is it that thou hast conceiued this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lyed vnto men, but vnto God.
5 Mu kuzuwa aa maanzwi, Ananiyasi nawa hansi niku huza lwa ma manimani. Kutiya kukando nikwezila vonse vava zuwi izo zintu.
Now when Ananias heard these wordes, he fell downe, and gaue vp the ghost. Then great feare came on all them that heard these things.
6 Baswisu niveza kumu vungila mwi sila, ni kumu nyamuna ni kukamuunga.
And the yong men rose vp, and tooke him vp, and caried him out, and buried him.
7 Haku hita inhola zotatwe, mwihyabwe cheza kwinjira, nasezivite chiva tendahali.
And it came to passe about the space of three houres after, that his wife came in, ignorant of that which was done.
8 Pitolosi nacho kwali, “Uni wambile kuti inkanda yenu mwa iwulisa cheyi inteko? “Nati “ee, cheyi inteko.”
And Peter sayd vnto her, Tell me, solde ye the land for so much? And she sayd, Yea, 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.”
Then Peter sayde vnto her, Why haue ye agreed together, to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? beholde, the feete of them which haue buried thine husband, are at the doore, and shall carie 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.
Then she fell downe straightway at his feete, and yeelded vp the ghost: and the yong men came in, and found her dead, and caried her out, and buried her by her husband.
11 Kutiya kukando nikweza he nkereke yonse, ni heulu lya vonse vava zuwi izi zintu.
And great feare came on all the Church, and on as many as heard these things.
12 Imboniso zingi ni makazo zivali ku chitahala mukati ka vantu cha mayanza avapositola. Vavena vonse mu malibera a Salumoni.
Thus by the hands of the Apostles were many signes and wonders shewed among the people (and they were all with one accorde in Salomons porche.
13 Imi kakwina niyava ku wola ku lipapata kuli kopanya navo; nikuva vulyo, vava ku tembwa ahulu ku vantu.
And of the other durst no man ioyne him selfe to them: neuerthelesse the people magnified them.
14 Nikuva vulyo balumeri vangi vavakusi wera kwa Simwine, ikunga lya bakwame ni vaanakazi,
Also the number of them that beleeued in the Lord, both of men and women, grewe more and more)
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.
In so much that they brought the sicke into the streetes, and layd them on beds and couches, that at the least way the shadowe of Peter, when he came by, might shadow some 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.
There came also a multitude out of the cities round about vnto Hierusalem, bringing sicke folkes, and them which were vexed with vncleane spirits, who were all healed.
17 Kono mupurisita yo hanzi na ziimana, nivonse vavena naye (chikwata chava Saduki); imi nive zula muna
Then the chiefe Priest rose vp, and all they that were with him (which was the sect of the Sadduces) and were full of indignation,
18 Niva viika mayanza havapositola, ni ku va vika mu ntorongo ya vantu.
And laide hands on the Apostles, and put them in the common prison.
19 Masiku Iñeloi lya Ireeza chilyeza kwi yalula milyango ye njorongo niku vazwisa hanze, ni kuvati.
But the Angel of the Lord, by night opened the prison doores, and brought them forth, and sayd,
20 Muyende, muka zime mwi tempere, niku wamba ku bantu vonse manzwi avuhalo.”
Go your way, and stand in the Temple, and speake to the people, all the wordes 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.
So when they heard it, they entred into the Temple early in the morning, and taught. And the chiefe Priest came, and they that were with him, and called the Councill together, and all the Elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison, to cause them to be brought.
22 Kono vakapaso vava yendi kana vavakava wani muntorongo, ni vaka vola ni kwiza ku viha,
But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and tolde it,
23 “Twaka wana intorongo iyalitwe siinte ni ba ganteli ba zimene hamulyango, kono hatwa iyalula, kakwina itwa wana mukati.”
Saying, Certainely we founde the prison shut as sure as was possible, and the keepers standing without, before the doores: but when we had opened, we found no man within.
24 Linu muyendisi wa mwi tempere ni mupurisita mukulwana hava zuwa aa maanzwi, ciba ziyeleha chavo ni chiwola kuzwa mwateni.
Then when the chiefe Priest, and the captaine of the Temple, and the hie Priestes heard these things, they doubted of them, whereunto this would growe.
25 Linu zumwi neza kuva wambila, “Vakwame vamu va vikite muntorongo vazimeene mwi tempere niva ruta vaantu.”
Then came one and shewed them, saying, Beholde, the men that ye put in prison, are standing in the Temple, and teach the people.
26 Linu muyendisi chayenda ni vakapaso, niku kavavoza, kono nikusena vulwisi, mukuti vava tite kuti vaantu pona chivava pwacoola cha mavwe.
Then went the captaine with the officers, and brought them without violence (for they feared the people, lest they should haue bene stoned)
27 Hava kava leta, chivava leta havusu vwe nkuta. Mupurisita yo hanzi nava vuzola impuzo,
And when they had brought them, they set them before the Councill, and the chiefe 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, Did not we straightly commaund you, that ye should not teach in this Name? and behold, ye haue filled Hierusale with your doctrine, and ye would bring this mans blood vpon vs.
29 Kono Pitolosi ni vapositola nivetaba, “Tulukera ku kuteka Ireeza insinyi vaantu.
Then Peter and the Apostles answered, and sayd, We ought rather to obey God then men.
30 Ireeza uveshetu ava kuzi Jesu, imuve hayi ni kumu hanzika hesamu.
The God of our fathers hath raised vp Iesus, whom ye slewe, and hanged on a tree.
31 Ireeza ava mukuzikizi kwi yanza lyakwe lya chilyo kuva mwaana' simwine ni muhazi, kuha kuliwamba zivi kwa Isiraere, niku kwatila zivi.
Him hath God lift vp with his right hand, to be a Prince and a Sauiour, to giue repentance to Israel, and forgiuenes of sinnes.
32 Tu mpaki zezi zintu, imi ni luhuho lu Jolola, ulo lwavahi kwavo vamu kuteka.”
And we are his witnesses concerning these things which we say: yea, and the holy Ghost, whome God hath giuen to them that obey him.
33 Lyahanu inkuta hai zuwa izi. Vava vengi nikusaka kwi haya vaapositola.
Now when they heard it, they brast for anger, and consulted to slay them.
34 Kono mufalisi yava kusupwa Gamaliele, muruti wa mulao, yava kukutekwa ku vantu vonse, chazima niku laera vaapositola ku zwila hanze kaninizana.
Then stoode there vp in the Councill a certaine Pharise named Gamaliel, a doctour of the Lawe, honoured of all the people, and commanded to put the Apostles forth a litle space,
35 Linu chati kuvali, “Vakwame vaIsiraele, Mutwalize minahano kuchimusaka kutenda kwava vaantu.
And sayd vnto them, Men of Israel, take heede to your selues, what ye intende to doe touching these men.
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 times, rose vp Theudas boasting himselfe, to whom resorted a number of men, about a foure hundreth, who was slaine: and they all which obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.
37 Kuzwa kozu mukwame, Judasi wa Galileya navuka mumazuva achipalo nikuhindikisa vamwi vaantu mwisule lyaankwe. Naye chehaililwa, nivonse vakumu kuteka vava hasanywa.
After this man, arose vp Iudas of Galile, in the dayes of the tribute, and drewe away much people after him: hee also perished, and all that 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 nowe I say vnto you, Refraine your selues from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsell, or this worke be of men, it will come to nought:
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 of God, ye can not destroy it, lest ye be found euen 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 to him they agreed, and called the Apostles: and when they had beaten them, they commanded that they should not speake in the Name of Iesus, and let them goe.
41 Chiva siya inkuta niva tabuluhite mukuti vavavalilwe kuku nyandisizwa che Izina.
So they departed from the Councill, reioycing, that they were counted worthy to suffer rebuke for his Name.
42 Kuzwaho chezuva, mwi tempere ni chenzubo, ninzuvo, vava ku lutirire ni kutaza Jesu kuva Keresite.
And dayly in the Temple, and from house to house they ceased not to teach, and preach Iesus Christ.
