Matendu 3
1 Ligono limonga, lukumbi lwa saa tisa ya muhi, Petili na Yohani vavi mukuhamba Kunyumba ya Chapanga lukumbi lwa kumuyupa Chapanga.
And Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, [which is] the ninth [hour];
2 Hinu mundu mmonga mweavi ngagenda tangia peavelekiwi. Kila ligono vandu vamgegayi na kumvika pamlyangu wa Nyumba ya Chapanga weukemelewa “Mlyangu Wabwina.” Muni avayupayi vindu kwa vala veviyingila Munyumba ya Chapanga.
and a certain man who was lame from his mother's womb was being carried, whom they placed every day at the gate of the temple called Beautiful, to ask alms of those who were going into the temple;
3 Peavawene Petili na Yohani viyingila Munyumba ya Chapanga, avayupili vampela mashonga.
who, seeing Peter and John about to enter into the temple, asked to receive alms.
4 Vene vakamlolokesa takataka, ndi Petili akamjovela, “Utilola!”
And Peter, looking stedfastly upon him with John, said, Look on us.
5 Ngagenda yula akavalola, ahololela ipewa chindu kuhuma kwavi.
And he gave heed to them, expecting to receive something from them.
6 Nambu Petili akamjovela, “Nivii lepi na mashonga amala zahabu, nambu chenivi nachu yati nikukupela. Kwa uhotola wa Yesu Kilisitu wa ku Nazaleti, yima ugendayi!”
But Peter said, Silver and gold I have not; but what I have, this give I to thee: In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazaraean rise up and walk.
7 Hinu akamkamula chiwoko cha kulyelela, akamyinula. Bahapo magendelu na mafugamilu gaki gakavya na makakala.
And having taken hold of him [by] the right hand he raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones were made strong.
8 Akahumba, akayima na kutumbula kugenda. Ndi akayingila nawu pamonga Munyumba ya Chapanga, igenda na kuhumba humba kuni akumlumbalila Chapanga.
And leaping up he stood and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9 Vandu voha vevavi penapo vamuwene igenda na kumlumbalila Chapanga,
And all the people saw him walking and praising God;
10 pavammanyili kuvya mwene ndi yula mweatama papipi na Mlyangu Wabwina Wa Nyumba ya Chapanga, na kuyupa vakakangasa neju hati nakugamanya gegamkolili.
and they recognised him, that it was he who sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
11 Lukumbi pavamuwene mundu yula alongosini na Petili na Yohani, vandu voha vakavya mumkangaso ndi vajumbalili pandu pepakemeliwi “Libanji la Solomoni.”
And as he held Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the portico which is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.
12 Hinu, Petili peavawene vandu, akavajovela, vandu va Isilaeli, ndava kyani mwikangaswa na lijambu ili? Kyani mukutilolokesa takataka ngati kwa makakala gitu amala ndava ya umsopi witu tavete timuhengili mundu uyu ahotola kugenda?
And Peter, seeing it, answered the people, Men of Israel, why are ye astonished at this? or why do ye gaze on us as if we had by our own power or piety made him to walk?
13 Chapanga wa Ibulahimu na Izaki na Yakobo, ndi Chapanga wa vagogo vitu ampeli amulumbalili mtumisi waki Yesu. Nambu nyenye mwamkamwili na kumgotola kwa vachilongosi na kumng'anamukila na kumbela palongolo ya Pilatu, hati peamwili kumdindulila.
The God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his servant Jesus, whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he had judged that he should be let go.
14 Mwene avili mweikita geigana Chapanga na msopi, nambu nyenye mwambelili ndi mwayupili mundu yungi mweavimkomaji adinduliwa.
But ye denied the holy and righteous one, and asked that a man [that was] a murderer should be granted to you;
15 Nyenye mwamkomili chanzu cha wumi, nambu Chapanga amyukisi kuhuma kwa vafwili, tavete taliwene lijambu lenilo.
but the originator of life ye slew, whom God raised from among [the] dead, whereof we are witnesses.
16 Makakala na kumsadika Yesu ndi vyevi mpeli makakala mundu uyu mwemukumlola na kummanya. Sadika kwa Yesu ndi yeyimlamisi hotohoto mundu uyu ngati mwavoha chemukumlola.
And, by faith in his name, his name has made this [man] strong whom ye behold and know; and the faith which is by him has given him this complete soundness in the presence of you all.
17 “Hinu, valongo vangu, nimanyili kuvya nyenye na vachilongosi vinu mwahengili ago ndava mwamanyili lepi.
And now, brethren, I know that ye did it in ignorance, as also your rulers;
18 Nambu Chapanga agahengili ago goha geajovili munjila ya vamlota va Chapanga voha kuvya yamganili Kilisitu ang'aika.
but God has thus fulfilled what he had announced beforehand by the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ should suffer.
19 Muleka kubuda na mumuwuyila Chapanga, ndi mwene avalekekesa kumubudila.
Repent therefore and be converted, for the blotting out of your sins, so that times of refreshing may come from [the] presence of the Lord,
20 Mukita genago, muni Bambu avapela lusenje lwa kupoleswa mitima na kuvaletela Kilisitu mweavahagulili ndi Yesu.
and he may send Jesus Christ, who was foreordained for you,
21 Yikumgana mwene kusigalila kunani kwa Chapanga mbaka palubwela lukumbi vindu vyoha kukitwa vya mupya, ngati Chapanga cheajovili munjila ya vamlota vaki vamsopi vevatamili kadeni. (aiōn g165)
whom heaven indeed must receive till [the] times of [the] restoring of all things, of which God has spoken by the mouth of his holy prophets since time began. (aiōn g165)
22 Muni, Musa ajovili, ‘Bambu Chapanga winu akuvayinulila mlota wa Chapanga ngati nene kuhuma kwa nyenye mwavene. Mumyuwanila mwene mu mambu goha geakuvajovela nyenye.
Moses indeed said, A prophet shall [the] Lord your God raise up to you out of your brethren like me: him shall ye hear in everything whatsoever he shall say to you.
23 Mundu yoyoha mwangamyuwanila mlota wa Chapanga mwenuyo, yati ibaguliwa kutali na vandu va Chapanga na kukomewa.’
And it shall be that whatsoever soul shall not hear that prophet shall be destroyed from among the people.
24 Vamlota voha va Chapanga kuhuma Samueli na vangi vevagelekili, vakokwisi mambu aga gegihumila magono aga.
And indeed all the prophets from Samuel and those in succession after [him], as many as have spoken, have announced also these days.
25 Na Chapanga alagazili vamlota vaki ndava yinu, na muyingila mu lilaganu leahengili na vagogo vitu, ngati chamjovili Ibulahimu, ‘Mu chiveleku chaku na vandu voha va pamulima yati vimotisiwa.’
Ye are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God appointed to our fathers, saying to Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
26 Ndi Chapanga amyukisi mtumisi waki, amtumili hoti kwa nyenye, avamotisa na kumkita kila mmonga winu alekana na uhakau waki.”
To you first God, having raised up his servant, has sent him, blessing you in turning each one [of you] from your wickedness.
