Matendu 4
1 Peteru na Yohani pawaweriti wankali wankuwabwelera wantu, watambika na wakulu wa walolera wa numba nkulu ya Mlungu pamwera na Masadukayu wiziti.
And as they are speaking to the people, there came to them the priests, and the magistrate of the temple, and the Sadducees—
2 Wakalaliti nentu, toziya wantumintumi awa waweriti wankuwabwelera wantu kuwera Yesu kazyukiti, shitwatira sheni shilanguziya pota kufifa handa wahowiti hawazyuki.
being grieved because of their teaching the people, and preaching in Jesus the resurrection out of the dead—
3 Su, wawaturiti mlikakala na toziya pashiru paweriti pakwegera, wawaturiti mkulolerwa mpaka shirawu yakuwi.
and they laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was evening already;
4 Kumbiti wavuwa pakati pa walii yawapikaniriti ujumbi wawu wajimiriti na walanga ya wawajimira iwera yongereka wapalu elufu mhanu.
and many of those hearing the word believed, and the number of the men became, as it were, five thousand.
5 Shirawu yakuwi, watuwa wa Wayawudi, wazewi na wafunda wa malagaliru wajojinika pamwera aku Yerusalemu.
And it came to pass the next day, there were gathered together of them the rulers, and elders, and scribes, to Jerusalem,
6 Waliwoniti pamuhera na Anasi mtambika mkulu, Kayafa na Yohani na Alekizanda na wamonga yawaweriti wa lukolu lwa mtambika mkulu.
and Annas the chief priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the chief priest,
7 Pawawagolisiyiti wantumintumi kuulongolu kwawu, wawakosiyiti, “Mwenga mtenda shitwatira ashi kwa likakala lyoshi na kwa litawu lya gaa?”
and having set them in the midst, they were inquiring, “In what power, or in what name did you do this?”
8 Panu, Peteru, pakawera kamemiziwa na Rohu Mnanagala, kawagambira, “Walongoziya na wazewi wa wantu!
Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
9 Handa pamtukosiya leru kuusu shilii shitendu shiheri shakatenderitwi ulii muntu yakaweriti shibyeketu na ntambu yakaponiziwitwi,
if we are examined today concerning the good deed to the ailing man, by whom he has been saved,
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.
be it known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised out of the dead, in Him has this one stood by before you whole.
11 Ayu ndomweni Malembu Mananagala gatakula, Libuwi lyamuliremiti mwenga wanyawa numba, vinu liwera Libuwi likulu lya liyanjiru
This is the stone that was set at nothing by you—the builders, that became head of a 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 not salvation in any other, for there is no other name under Heaven that has been given among men, in which it is required of 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.
And beholding the openness of Peter and John, and having perceived that they are illiterate men and commoners, they were wondering—they were also taking knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus—
14 Kumbiti pawamwoniti muntu ulii yawamponiziyiti kagoloka pamwera nawomberi, waweza ndiri kutakula shintu.
and seeing the man standing with them who has been healed, they had nothing to say against [it],
15 Hangu, wawagambiriti walawi kunja kumdamu, na womberi wasigala mnumba pawatakula kwa kupwepa.
and having commanded them to go away out of the Sanhedrin, they took counsel with one another,
16 Walikosiana, “Tutendi shishi na wantu awa? Kila muntu yakalikala Yerusalemu kavimana handa mauzauza aga gakulikangasha gatendeka, natwenga tuwezandiri kulema shitwatira ashi.
saying, “What will we do to these men? Because that, indeed, a notable sign has been done through them [is] apparent to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, and we are not able to deny [it];
17 Kumbiti su tupati kubera shitwatira ashi nashiendereya nentu pakati pa wantu, tuwakalipiri nawayowera na muntu yoseri kwa litawu lya Yesu.”
but that it may spread no further toward the people, let us strictly threaten them to no longer speak in this Name to any man.”
18 Hangu wawashema kayi mngati, wawaberiziya nawayowera kayi paweru, na kufunda kwa litawu lya Yesu.
And having called them, they charged them not to speak at all, nor to teach, in the Name of Jesus,
19 Kumbiti Peteru na Yohani wawankula, “Mwamuwi mwenga handa ndo teratera kuulongolu kwa Mlungu kuwajimira mwenga kuliku kumjimira Mlungu.
and Peter and John answering to them said, “Whether it is righteous before God to listen to you rather than to God, judge;
20 Toziya tuwezandiri kuleka kutakula kuusu vitwatira vilii vyatuviwoniti na kuvipikinira.”
for we cannot but speak what we saw 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.
And they having further threatened [them], let them go, finding no way how they may punish them, because of the people, because all were glorifying God for that which has been done,
22 Muntu ayu yawamponiziyiti kaweriti na umli wa vinja nentu ya malongu msheshi
for above forty years of age was the man on whom had been done this sign of the healing.
23 Pawawalekeziyiti hera, Peteru na Yohani wawuyiti kwa wayawu, wawagambira galii gawagambiritwi na watambika wakulu wa Shikundi sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu na wazewi.
And being let go, they went to their own friends, and declared whatever the chief priests and the elders 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 they having heard, lifted up the voice to God with one accord and said, “LORD, You [are] God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all that [are] 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, through the mouth of Your servant David, said, Why did nations rage, and peoples meditate vain things?
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 stood up, and the rulers were gathered together 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 gathered together of a truth against Your holy child Jesus, whom You anointed, were both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with nations and peoples of Israel,
28 Waliwoniti su watendi vitwatira vilii vyagufiriti na kupanga kwanjira kwanja kwa uwezu waku na mafiliru gaku
to do whatever Your hand and Your counsel determined before to come to pass.
29 Kumbiti vinu, gwee Mtuwa, gulori vitiriziwu vyawu. Gutuwezeshi twenga wantumintumi waku kushibwera shisoweru shaku kwa ugangamala.
And now, LORD, look on their threatenings, and grant to Your servants to speak Your word with all freedom,
30 Gunyoshi liwoku lyaku su guponiziyi wantu. Gutendi lilangaliru na mauzauza kwa litawu lya Yesu ntumintumi gwaku Mnanagala.”
in the stretching forth of Your hand, for healing, and signs, and wonders, to come to pass through the Name of Your holy child 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 they having prayed, the place was shaken in which they were gathered together, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and were speaking the word of God with freedom,
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.
and of the multitude of those who believed, the heart and the soul were one, and not one was saying that anything of the things he had was his own, but all things were in 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 giving the testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, great grace was also on them all,
34 Kwahera muntu yoseri yakapungukiwitwi shintu, mana waweriti na malambu ama numba waweriti wankuviwuza
for there was not anyone among them who lacked, for as many as were possessors of fields, or houses, selling [them], were bringing the prices of the thing sold,
35 na kuwapanana ntumintumi mpiya azi, wawayupa kila yumu shiyasi shakafira
and were laying them at the feet of the apostles, and distribution was being made to each according as anyone had need.
36 kuweriti na Mlawi yumu, mwiwuka gwa Kupiru, litawu lyakuwi Yosefu, ulaa wantumintumi wamshemiti Barinaba mana yakuwi, “Muntu yakapanana moyu”.
And Joses, who was surnamed by the apostles Barnabas—which is, having been interpreted, Son of Comfort—a Levite, of Cyprus by birth,
37 Yomberi viraa kaweriti na lirambu lyakuwi, kawuziti, katola mpiya zilii kawapanana wantumintumi.
a field being his, having sold [it], brought the money and laid [it] at the feet of the apostles.
