Matendu 5
1 Nambu mundu mmonga liina laki Anania na mdala waki Safila vagulisi mewa chipandi cha mgunda wavi.
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sappirah, his wife, sold a possession,
2 Na mdala waki amanyili hotohoto kuvya mgwana waki afiyili mashonga gangi geapewili, na zingi zila azigotwili kwa vamitumi.
and kept back part of the price, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part, and put it at the emissaries' feet.
3 Petili akamkota, “Anania ndava kyani Setani auyingili mtima waku na kumkonga Mpungu Msopi ujifiyili mashonga gangi geupewili mumgunda wula?
But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Ruach ha-Kodesh, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
4 Kwakona kugulisa mgunda wenuwo wavi waku, na pawaligulisi mashonga gala gavi gaku, uhengela chewigana. Ndava kyani, wahamwili mumtima waku kuhenga lijambu lenili? Umkongili lepi mundu, nambu umkongili Chapanga!”
While you kept it, did not it remain your own? After it was sold, was not it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to people, but to God."
5 Anania peagayuwini malovi ago, akagwa pahi akafwa na vandu voha vevagayuwini mambu ago vakayogopa neju.
Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard it.
6 Vasongolo vakabwela, vakamugubika higa yaki kwa nyula ya msopi, vakamuwusa kuvala vakamuzika.
The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.
7 Pagamaliki masaa ngati gadatu, mdala waki changali kumanya mambu gegahumalili, akayingila mugati mula.
About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
8 Petili akamkota, “Unijovela! Wu mashonga gemwapewili kwa kugulisa mgunda ndi gagaga?” Ndi mwene akamyangula, “Ena, ndi genaga.”
Peter answered her, "Tell me whether you sold the land for so much." She said, "Yes, for so much."
9 Hinu, Petili akamjovela mdala yula, “Wuli muyidakilini kumlinga Mpungu wa Bambu? Yuwanila! Vandu vala vevahambili kumzika mgwana waku, hinu vavi pamlyangu ndi yati vakukutola mewa na veve.”
But Peter asked her, "How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Ruach of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out."
10 Bahapo safila akagwa palongolo ya magendelu ga Petili, akafwa. Vasongolo vala pavayingili vamkolili amali kufwa, ndi vakamuwusa kuvala, vakamuzika papipi na mngwana waki.
She fell down immediately at his feet, and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.
11 Wogohi uvaha ukavayingila msambi wa vandu vevakumsadika Kilisitu voha na vandu voha, vevayuwini malovi ga lijambu lenilo.
Great fear came on the whole congregation, and on all who heard these things.
12 Chapanga ahengili kwa njila ya vanalihengu gachinamtiti na makangaso gamahele pagati ya vandu. Na vamsadika vakonganikayi pamonga mulibanji la Solomoni.
By the hands of the emissaries many signs and wonders were done among the people. They were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
13 Mundu yungi yoyoha angalikuvya msadika, valingili lepi kuwungana nawu. Nambu vandu vangi vangasadika vavalumbalili.
None of the rest dared to join them, however the people honored them.
14 Nambu vandu vamahele vevamsadiki Bambu, vagosi na vadala vakayonjokeseka neju.
More believers were added to the Lord, crowds of both men and women.
15 Hati vandu vavagegili vatamu vavi munjila na kuvagonesa mu lusongwani na mumipasa, muni Petili akapitayi, mbanga chimuwili chaki chivahikila vangi pagati yavi.
They even carried out the sick into the streets, and put them on cots and mats, so that as Peter came by at the least his shadow would fall on some of them.
16 Vandu vamahele vabwelili kuhuma mumiji yeyitindila Yelusalemu, vavaletili vatamu wavi na vevavi na mizuka yihakau, ndi voha vakalamiswa.
Crowds also came together from the cities around Jerusalem, bringing sick people, and those who were tormented by unclean spirits: and they were all healed.
17 Kangi, Mteta Mkulu na vayaki va chikundi cha Vasadukayu ndi vandu vevisadika kuvya vandu nakuhotola kuyuka va pandu penapo, vakayva na wihu kwa vamitumi.
But the cohen hagadol rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy,
18 Hinu vakavakamula vamitumi na kuvakunga muchifungu chikulu.
and laid hands on the emissaries, and put them in public custody.
19 Nambu kilu mtumu wa kunani kwa Chapanga, akadindula mlyangu wa muchifungu yikulu, akavahumisa kuvala, akavajovela,
But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out, and said,
20 “Muhambayi mukayima Munyumba ya Chapanga, mkavajovela vandu malovi ga kuuvala wumi wa mupya.”
"Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life."
21 Vamitumi vakayidakila, vakayingila Munyumba ya Chapanga lukela pehe, vakatumbula kuwula. Mteta Mkulu na vayaki pavahikili, vakemili mngonganu wa libanji likulu na vagogo voha va Isilaeli, kangi vavatumili vandu kujela vavaleta vamitumi vala.
When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the cohen hagadol came, and those who were with him, and called the council together, and all the elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
22 Nambu valonda va muchifungu pavahikili, vavakolili lepi. Ndi vakawuya na kujova kwa vakulu va libanji,
But the officers who came did not find them in the prison. They returned and reported,
23 “Tikolili jela yidindanu na valonda vavi mumilyangu kulindalila. Nambu patadindwili milyangu tamkolili lepi mundu yoyoha mugati.”
"We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside."
24 Mkulu wa valonda wa Nyumba ya Chapanga na Vamteta Vakulu pevayuwini genago, vakavya na wogohi, ndava nakuchimanya chechavakolili.
Now when the captain of the temple, and the chief cohanim heard these words, they were very perplexed about them and what might become of this.
25 Kangi, akabwela mundu mmonga na kuvajovela, “Yuwanila! Vandu vala vemkavakungili muchifungu, hinu vavi Munyumba ya Chapanga vakuvawula vandu.”
One came and told them, "Look, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people."
26 Bahapo mkulu wa valonda na vahenga lihengu vaki, vakahamba Munyumba ya Chapanga vakavaleta. Nambu nakuvakamula kwa makakala, muni vayogwipi vandu yati vakuvatova na maganga.
Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.
27 Hinu, vavapeliki vamitumi vala, vakavayimika palongolo ya libanji, ndi Mteta Mkulu akavajovela,
When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The cohen hagadol questioned them,
28 “Tavabesili hotohoto kuwula paliina la mundu uyu, hinu mugadandisi mawuliwu ginu pa Yelusalemu poha mwigana kutigegesa ngasi ya mundu uyu.”
saying, "Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man's blood on us."
29 Petili pamonga na vamitumi vayaki vakayangula, “Yikutigana kumyidakila Chapanga, kuliku mundu.
But Peter and the emissaries answered, "We must obey God rather than people.
30 Chapanga wa vagogo vitu amyukisi Yesu mwemwamkomili nyenye na kumvamba pamsalaba.
The God of our fathers raised up Yeshua, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.
31 Mwenuyu ndi yula mwealumbiwi na Chapanga mbaka upandi wa kulyelela, kuvya Chilongosi na Msangula, muni avakita vandu va Isilaeli vamuwuyila Chapanga, muni vapata kulekekesewa kumbudila.
God exalted him with his right hand to be a Leader and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
32 Tete ndi taliwene lijambu lenilo, na Mpungu Msopi, Chapanga avapelili vala vevakumyidakila mwene.”
We are witnesses of these things; and so also is the Ruach ha-Kodesh, whom God has given to those who obey him."
33 Vajumbi voha va libanji lila pevayuwini genago, vakamema ligoga vakahamula kuvakoma.
But they, when they heard this, were furious, and wanted to kill them.
34 Nambu mundu mmonga Mfalisayu liina laki Gamalieli, muwula wa malagizu ga Bambu geampeli Musa na mweitopeswa na vandu voha. Akayima mu libanji palongolo ya vandu akalagiza vamitumi vala vawusiwayi kuvala mulukumbi luhupi.
But one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law, honored by all the people, and commanded to put the men out for a little while.
35 Kangi akavajovela vajumbi va libanji vala, “Vandu va Isilaeli, mjiyangalila kwakona mwangakita, chemwigana kuvakitila vandu ava!
He said to them, "You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do.
36 Magono ga mumbele, ahumalili mundu mmonga liina laki Teudosi, akajijovela kuvya mundu wa kutopela, vandu ngati miya mcheche vakajiwunga nayu. Nambu akomiwi, kangi vamulanda vaki vakapechengana chikundi chaki chafwili.
For before these days Todah rose up, making himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed, and came to nothing.
37 Mwanakandahi kavili, lukumbi lwa kuvalangiwa vandu, ahumalili Yuda wa ku Galilaya. Mewawa mwenuyo avakulukisi vandu vakamulanda, nambu mwenuyo mewawa akomiwi vamulanda vaki vakapechengana.
After this man, Judah of Galil rose up in the days of the enrollment, and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.
38 Hinu nene nikuvajovela ndava ya mhalu uwu, mujiyepa na vandu ava! Mvalekayi vahamba. Ndava muni ngati mpangu wenuwo utumbuliwi na vandu yati wiyaga wene.
Now I tell you, withdraw from these men, and leave them alone. For if this counsel or this work is of human origin, it will be overthrown.
39 Nambu ngati mpangu wenuwu uhumili kwa Chapanga, nakuhotola kuvabesa vandu ava, muni mwavene yati mukujikolela mukumbela Chapanga!” Ndi vakayidakilana na malovi ga Gamalieli.
But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them, and you would be found even to be fighting against God."
40 Hinu, vakavakemele vamitumi vala, vakahamula vatovewa michapilu na kuvabesa vakotoka kuwula kavili paliina la Yesu, ndi vakavaleka vahamba.
They agreed with him. Summoning the emissaries, they beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Yeshua, and let them go.
41 Hinu, vamitumi vakahuma mu libanji kuni vamemi luheku, muni Chapanga avahololili kuvya vene yavaganili kukola soni ndava ya liina la Yesu.
They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the Name.
42 Kila ligono vayendalili kuwula na kukokosa Munyumba ya Chapanga na munyumba za vandu, Lilovi la Bwina la Yesu Kilisitu.
Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming Yeshua, the Messiah.
