< Matendu 3 >

1 Lishaka limu Peteru na Yohani wagenditi Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu shipindi sha saa tisa paliwala, shipindi sha kusala.
Now, about that time, Peter and John went up to the temple, at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
2 Paweriti na Mlyangu guherepa, muntu yumu shibyeketu kwanjira kwiwuka. Wantu hawa waweriti wankumpapa muntu ayu kila lishaka kumjega kumlyangu kuluwa mpiya kwa wantu yawingira kunumba nkulu ya Mlungu.
And a certain man, who had been lame from his birth, was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple, which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of those that entered into the temple;
3 Pakawawoniti Peteru na Yohani wankwingira Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, shibyeketu ulii kawaluwiti wampanani shintu.
who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, begged to receive alms.
4 Peteru pamuhera na Yohani wamjodolera masu, na Peteru kamgambira, “Gutuloli!”
But Peter, with John, looking steadfastly upon him, said, Look on us.
5 Su kawagalambukira, pakalolelera kupananwa shintu kulawa kwawomberi.
And he fixed his eyes upon them, expecting to receive something from them.
6 Kumbiti Peteru kamgambira, “Nahera mpiya, kumbiti shirii shamweri nashu hanukupanani, kwa litawu lya Yesu Kristu gwa Nazareti nukugambira gugoloki na gugendigendi!”
But Peter said, Silver and gold I have none, but what I have I give you: in the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene, rise up and walk.
7 Shakapanu kamkola liwoku lya kumliwu na kamgolosiya. Palaa palii magulu na manung'unu gakuwi gapata likakala.
And, taking him by the right hand, he raised him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones were strengthened.
8 Kakopoka, kagoloka na kwanja kugendagenda. Shakapanu kingira pamuhera nawomberi Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, pakagendagenda na kukopokakopoka na pakamkwisa Mlungu.
And leaping up, he stood, and walked about, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9 Wantu woseri yawamwoniti kankugendagenda na kumkwisa Mlungu,
And all the people saw him walking, and praising God;
10 na pawavimaniti weri ndo ulii yakaweriti kankuluwaluwa pakwegera na Mlyangu Guherepa gulii gwa Numba nkulu ya Mlungu, woseri walikangasha nentu, su waweziti ndiri kuvimana vyavimpatiti.
and they knew him to be the same person who sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple, and were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened to him.
11 Muntu yakaponiziwitwi na Peteru na Yohani pamdamu gwa Selemani, Wantu woseri, waweriti wankulikangasha, wanja kumtugira.
And while he kept fast hold of Peter and John, all the people ran together to them, exceedingly astonished, in the portico called Solomon's.
12 Shipindi Peteru pakawawoniti wantu awa kawagambira, “Wana lushi lwa Israeli, ntambu gaa mkangashwa na shitwatira ashi? Mbona mwankutujodolera masu gambira kwa likakala lyetu ama unanagala wetu twaweni tumtenda muntu ayu kawezi kugendagenda?
And Peter, seeing this, answered the people, Israelites, why do you wonder at this? or why do you fix your eyes on us, as if by our own power, or piety, we had made this man to walk?
13 Mlungu gwa Aburahamu na Isaka na Yakobu, Mlungu gwa wambuyi wetu kamkwisa ntumintumi gwakuwi Yesu. Kumbiti ndomweni ula ulii yakakamlitwi na wakulu na kumlema kuulongolu kwa Pilatu, ata pa Pilatu kuamuwa kumlekeziya.
The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his Son Jesus, whom you delivered up, and rejected in the presence of Pilate, when he was desirous to release him:
14 Kaweriti mnanagala na yakamfiriziya Mlungu, kumbiti mwenga mulemiti, na mmufira muntu gwingi kayi yakaweriti kalaga kumlekiziya.
but you rejected the Holy and Righteous One, and desired a murderer to be granted to you;
15 Su, mumlagiti ulii yomberi ndo shanjiru sha ukomu. Kumbiti Mlungu kamzyukisiyiti kulawa kwa wahowiti na twenga ndo wakapitawu wa shitwatira ashi.
and killed the Prince of Life, whom God has raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses;
16 Litawu lya Yesu na moyu mulitawu ali ndo vyavimupiti likakala muntu ayu yamumwona na kumana. Njimiru kwa Yesu ndo imuponiziyiti nakamu muntu ayu ntambu yamuviwona mwawoseri.”
and his name, through faith in his name, has made this man strong, whom ye see and know; yes, the faith which is by him, has given him this perfect soundness, in the presence of you all.
17 “Vinu mwalongu wangu Izraeli, nuvimana handa mwenga na wakulu wenu mtenditi aga kwa Yesu toziya ya kuvimanandiri kwenu.
And now, brethren, I know that through ignorance you did it, as did also your rulers;
18 Kumbiti avi Mlungu gakatimiziti galaa gakabweriti makashu kwa njira ya wambuyi woseri, handa iweriti mpaka Kristu gwakuwi katabiki.
but those things which God foretold, by the mouth of all his prophets, that the Messiah should suffer, he has thus fulfilled.
19 Su, mleki, mmuwuyiri Mlungu gwenu su yomberi kafuti vidoda vyenu.
Reform, therefore, and return to God, that so your sins may be blotted out; that seasons of refreshment may come from the presence of the Lord,
20 Mtendaga hangu su Mtuwa kawayupi shipindi sha sekuseku mrohu na kuwajegera ula Kristu yakamsyaguliti yomberi ndo Yesu.
and that he may send Jesus Christ, who was before designed for you:
21 Ifiruwa yomberi kasigali aku kumpindi mpaka pashisoka shipindi kulekibishwa vintu vyoseri, handa Mlungu ntambu yakatakuliti kwa njira ya wambuyi wakuwi wananagala kwanjira makashu. (aiōn g165)
whom, indeed, heaven must retain till the time of the accomplishment of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets, from the beginning of time. (aiōn g165)
22 Toziya Musa katakuliti, Mtuwa Mlungu gwenu hakawajegerani mbuyi handa neni kulawa pakati penu maweni.
Moses truly said, to the fathers, "A prophet like me shall the Lord your God raise up for you, from among your brethren; him shall you obey in all things, whatsoever he shall say to you:
23 Yoseri ulii hapeni kamupikiniri mbuyi gwa Mlungu ayu hakatulwi kutali na wantu wa Mlungu na kuagamiziwa.
and it shall come to pass, that every soul who will not obey that prophet, shall be cut off from among the people."
24 Wambuyi woseri wa Mlungu, kwanjira Samweli na walii wamfatiti, wabweriti visoweru vya vitwatira avi vyeni viweriti vyankutendeka mashaka aga.
Yes, and all the prophets from Samuel, and those that succeeded, as many as have spoken, have also foretold these days.
25 Malagiru galii Mlungu kagalaviyiti kwa njira ya Wambuyi ndo kwajili ya mwenga, na mtenda pamwera lipatanu Mlungu lyakatenditi na mbuyi gwetu, handa ntambu yakamgambiriti Aburahamu. Kwa njira ya wiwuka waku, wantu woseri wa pasi panu hawatekelerwi.
You are the children of the prophets, and of the institution which God instituted with our fathers, saying to Abraham, "And in your see shall all the families of the earth be blessed."
26 Su, Mlungu kamzyukisiyiti ntumintumi gwakuwi kwa mota yenu kwanja, kamtuma kawajegeri matekeleru kwa kumtenda kila yumu gwenu kalekani nakamu na vidoda vyakuwi.”
To you, first, God, having raised up his Son, has sent him to bless you; in turning every one of you, from your iniquities.
