Matendu 4
1 Peteru na Yohani pawaweriti wankali wankuwabwelera wantu, watambika na wakulu wa walolera wa numba nkulu ya Mlungu pamwera na Masadukayu wiziti.
But while they were speaking to the people, the priests and the magistrate of the temple and the Sadducees overwhelmed them,
2 Wakalaliti nentu, toziya wantumintumi awa waweriti wankuwabwelera wantu kuwera Yesu kazyukiti, shitwatira sheni shilanguziya pota kufifa handa wahowiti hawazyuki.
being grieved that they were teaching the people and announcing in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
3 Su, wawaturiti mlikakala na toziya pashiru paweriti pakwegera, wawaturiti mkulolerwa mpaka shirawu yakuwi.
And they laid hands on them, and they placed them under guard until the next day. For it was now evening.
4 Kumbiti wavuwa pakati pa walii yawapikaniriti ujumbi wawu wajimiriti na walanga ya wawajimira iwera yongereka wapalu elufu mhanu.
But many of those who had heard the word believed. And the number of men became five thousand.
5 Shirawu yakuwi, watuwa wa Wayawudi, wazewi na wafunda wa malagaliru wajojinika pamwera aku Yerusalemu.
And it happened on the next day that their leaders and elders and scribes gathered together in Jerusalem,
6 Waliwoniti pamuhera na Anasi mtambika mkulu, Kayafa na Yohani na Alekizanda na wamonga yawaweriti wa lukolu lwa mtambika mkulu.
including Annas, the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John and Alexander, and as many as were of the priestly family.
7 Pawawagolisiyiti wantumintumi kuulongolu kwawu, wawakosiyiti, “Mwenga mtenda shitwatira ashi kwa likakala lyoshi na kwa litawu lya gaa?”
And stationing them in the middle, they questioned them: “By what power, or in whose name, have you done this?”
8 Panu, Peteru, pakawera kamemiziwa na Rohu Mnanagala, kawagambira, “Walongoziya na wazewi wa wantu!
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Leaders of the people and elders, listen.
9 Handa pamtukosiya leru kuusu shilii shitendu shiheri shakatenderitwi ulii muntu yakaweriti shibyeketu na ntambu yakaponiziwitwi,
If we today are judged by a good deed done to an infirm man, by which he has been made whole,
10 Su, mwenga na wantu woseri wa Israeli mfiruwa kuvimana kuusu muntu ayu kagoloka kulongolu kwamwenga leru, mkomu nakamu, kwa likakala lya litawu lyakuwi Yesu Kristu gwa Nazareti yomberi mwenga mmupingika, kumbiti Mlungu kamzyukisiya kulawa kwa wahowiti.
let it be known to all of you and to all of the people of Israel, that in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God has raised from the dead, by him, this man stands before you, healthy.
11 Ayu ndomweni Malembu Mananagala gatakula, Libuwi lyamuliremiti mwenga wanyawa numba, vinu liwera Libuwi likulu lya liyanjiru
He is the stone, which was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.
12 Ulopoziya upatikana ndiri kwa muntu gwingi yoseri, toziya kwahera litawu limonga pasi pa mpindi, wantu wawapanana ndiri litawu lya muntu gwingi mweni twenga tuweza kulopuziwa na yomberi.”
And there is no salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, by which it is necessary for us to be saved.”
13 Awa wazewi Pashizyungu, waweriti wavimana handa Peteru na Yohani waweriti wantu wahera shisomu pota elimu yoseri, walikangasha ntambu yawatakuliti kwa ugangamala. Wavimana handa waweriti wapamwera na Yesu.
Then, seeing the constancy of Peter and John, having verified that they were men without letters or learning, they wondered. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus.
14 Kumbiti pawamwoniti muntu ulii yawamponiziyiti kagoloka pamwera nawomberi, waweza ndiri kutakula shintu.
Also, seeing the man who had been cured standing with them, they were unable to say anything to contradict them.
15 Hangu, wawagambiriti walawi kunja kumdamu, na womberi wasigala mnumba pawatakula kwa kupwepa.
But they ordered them to withdraw outside, away from the council, and they conferred among themselves,
16 Walikosiana, “Tutendi shishi na wantu awa? Kila muntu yakalikala Yerusalemu kavimana handa mauzauza aga gakulikangasha gatendeka, natwenga tuwezandiri kulema shitwatira ashi.
saying: “What shall we do to these men? For certainly a public sign has been done through them, before all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. It is manifest, and we cannot deny it.
17 Kumbiti su tupati kubera shitwatira ashi nashiendereya nentu pakati pa wantu, tuwakalipiri nawayowera na muntu yoseri kwa litawu lya Yesu.”
But lest it spread further among the people, let us threaten them not to speak anymore in this name to any man.”
18 Hangu wawashema kayi mngati, wawaberiziya nawayowera kayi paweru, na kufunda kwa litawu lya Yesu.
And calling them in, they warned them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
19 Kumbiti Peteru na Yohani wawankula, “Mwamuwi mwenga handa ndo teratera kuulongolu kwa Mlungu kuwajimira mwenga kuliku kumjimira Mlungu.
Yet truly, Peter and John said in response to them: “Judge whether it is just in the sight of God to listen to you, rather than to God.
20 Toziya tuwezandiri kuleka kutakula kuusu vitwatira vilii vyatuviwoniti na kuvipikinira.”
For we are unable to refrain from speaking the things that we have seen and heard.”
21 Su, awa wazewi wa shyotera motu waberiziya kwa kukaripa nentu, shakapanu wawalekeziyiti. Waweza ndiri kuwapanana azabu toziya wantu woseri waweriti wankumkwisa Mlungu toziya ya shitwatira ashi.
But they, threatening them, sent them away, having not found a way that they might punish them because of the people. For all were glorifying the things that had been done in these events.
22 Muntu ayu yawamponiziyiti kaweriti na umli wa vinja nentu ya malongu msheshi
For the man in whom this sign of a cure had been accomplished was more than forty years old.
23 Pawawalekeziyiti hera, Peteru na Yohani wawuyiti kwa wayawu, wawagambira galii gawagambiritwi na watambika wakulu wa Shikundi sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu na wazewi.
Then, having been released, they went to their own, and they reported in full what the leaders of the priests and the elders had said to them.
24 Nawomberi pawapikaniriti shisoweru ashi waweriti pamwera mukumluwa Mlungu wankutakula, “Mtuwa, gwenga ndo mnyawa gwa mpindi na pasi panu, ibahali na vyoseri vyamlamu!
And when they had heard it, with one accord, they lifted up their voice to God, and they said: “Lord, you are the One who made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them,
25 Gwenga gumtenditi ntumintumi gwaku, tati gwetu Dawudi, katakuli kwa likakala lya Rohu Mnanagala, Kwa shishi maisi ganamaya? Iwera hashi wantu watenda mipangu ya hera?
who, by the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David, your servant, said: ‘Why have the Gentiles been seething, and why have the people been pondering nonsense?
26 Wafalumi wa pasipanu walituliti kala, na watuwa waliwoniti pamwera, watenda ntambu imonga kwa Mtuwa na watenda ntambu imonga kwa Kristu gwakuwi.”
The kings of the earth have stood up, and the leaders have joined together as one, against the Lord and against his Christ.’
27 “Mana, nakaka, ndo Herodi, Pontiwu Pilatu, wantu wa Israeli na wantu wa maisi pawariwoniti palaa panu mlushi, kumkoma Yesu ntumintumi gwakuwi Mnanagala mweni kamsyaguliti.
For truly Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, joined together in this city against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed
28 Waliwoniti su watendi vitwatira vilii vyagufiriti na kupanga kwanjira kwanja kwa uwezu waku na mafiliru gaku
to do what your hand and your counsel had decreed would be done.
29 Kumbiti vinu, gwee Mtuwa, gulori vitiriziwu vyawu. Gutuwezeshi twenga wantumintumi waku kushibwera shisoweru shaku kwa ugangamala.
And now, O Lord, look upon their threats, and grant to your servants that they may speak your word with all confidence,
30 Gunyoshi liwoku lyaku su guponiziyi wantu. Gutendi lilangaliru na mauzauza kwa litawu lya Yesu ntumintumi gwaku Mnanagala.”
by extending your hand in cures and signs and miracles, to be done through the name of your holy Son, Jesus.”
31 Pawamaliriti kumluwa Mlungu pahala palii pawaliwoniti, nawomberi woseri wamemiziyitwi Rohu Mnanagala. Woseri wanja kubwera shisoweru sha Mlungu pota lyoga. Walikaliti gambira mlongu yumu
And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered was moved. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. And they were speaking the Word of God with confidence.
32 Shipinga shoseri shawamjimiriti Yesu waweriti na moyu gumu na Rohu yimu. Kwahera ata yumu yakaweriti na shintu shoseri kashitula shiweri lunda yakuwi mweni, ila wagawaniti vyoseri vyawaweriti navyu.
Then the multitude of believers were of one heart and one soul. Neither did anyone say that any of the things that he possessed were his own, but all things were common to them.
33 Wantumintumi watakuliti kwa likakala livuwa kuzyuka kwa Mtuwa Yesu, na yomberi Mlungu kawapanana tekelera zivuwa.
And with great power, the Apostles were rendering testimony to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord. And great grace was in them all.
34 Kwahera muntu yoseri yakapungukiwitwi shintu, mana waweriti na malambu ama numba waweriti wankuviwuza
And neither was anyone among them in need. For as many as were owners of fields or houses, selling these, were bringing the proceeds of the things that they were selling,
35 na kuwapanana ntumintumi mpiya azi, wawayupa kila yumu shiyasi shakafira
and were placing it before the feet of the Apostles. Then it was divided to each one, just as he had need.
36 kuweriti na Mlawi yumu, mwiwuka gwa Kupiru, litawu lyakuwi Yosefu, ulaa wantumintumi wamshemiti Barinaba mana yakuwi, “Muntu yakapanana moyu”.
Now Joseph, who the Apostles surnamed Barnabas (which is translated as ‘son of consolation’), who was a Levite of Cyprian descent,
37 Yomberi viraa kaweriti na lirambu lyakuwi, kawuziti, katola mpiya zilii kawapanana wantumintumi.
since he had land, he sold it, and he brought the proceeds and placed these at the feet of the Apostles.
