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 unto 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 rising again out of the dead —
3 Su, wawaturiti mlikakala na toziya pashiru paweriti pakwegera, wawaturiti mkulolerwa mpaka shirawu yakuwi.
and they laid hands upon them, and did put them in custody unto the morrow, 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 did believe, 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 upon the morrow, 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 kindred 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 ye 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 unto 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 to-day are examined concerning the good deed to the ailing man, by whom he hath 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 ye did crucify, whom God did raise out of the dead, in him hath 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 nought 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 the heaven that hath been given among men, in which it behoveth 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 men unlettered and plebeian, they were wondering — they were taking knowledge also of them that with Jesus they had been —
14 Kumbiti pawamwoniti muntu ulii yawamponiziyiti kagoloka pamwera nawomberi, waweza ndiri kutakula shintu.
and seeing the man standing with them who hath 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 sanhedrim, 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 shall we do to these men? because that, indeed, a notable sign hath been done through them, to all those dwelling in Jerusalem [is] manifest, 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 no more to 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 unto them said, 'Whether it is righteous before God to hearken to you rather than to God, judge ye;
20 Toziya tuwezandiri kuleka kutakula kuusu vitwatira vilii vyatuviwoniti na kuvipikinira.”
for we cannot but speak what we did see and hear.'
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 nothing how they may punish them, because of the people, because all were glorifying God for that which hath been done,
22 Muntu ayu yawamponiziyiti kaweriti na umli wa vinja nentu ya malongu msheshi
for above forty years of age was the man upon 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 unto their own friends, and declared whatever the chief priests and the elders said unto 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, with one accord did lift up the voice unto God, and said, 'Lord, thou [art] God, who didst make 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 David thy servant, did say, 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 Thy holy child Jesus, whom Thou didst anoint, 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 Thy hand and Thy counsel did determine 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 upon their threatenings, and grant to Thy servants with all freedom to speak Thy word,
30 Gunyoshi liwoku lyaku su guponiziyi wantu. Gutendi lilangaliru na mauzauza kwa litawu lya Yesu ntumintumi gwaku Mnanagala.”
in the stretching forth of Thy hand, for healing, and signs, and wonders, to come to pass through the name of Thy 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 did believe the heart and the soul was one, and not one was saying that anything of the things he had was his own, but all things were to them in common.
33 Wantumintumi watakuliti kwa likakala livuwa kuzyuka kwa Mtuwa Yesu, na yomberi Mlungu kawapanana tekelera zivuwa.
And with great power were the apostles giving the testimony to the rising again of the Lord Jesus, great grace also was on them all,
34 Kwahera muntu yoseri yakapungukiwitwi shintu, mana waweriti na malambu ama numba waweriti wankuviwuza
for there was not any one among them who did lack, 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 any one 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.
