Matendu 5
1 Muntu yumu yawamshema Ananiya na mdala gwakuwi Safira wawuziti lirambu lyawu viravi.
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, got money for his property,
2 Kumbiti, mdala gwakuwi pakawera kavimana, Ananiya kalitulila seemu ya mpiya zyakazipatiti na seemu imonga ilii kawayupiti wantumintumi.
And kept back part of the price, his wife having knowledge of it, and took the rest and put it at the feet of the Apostles.
3 Su, Peteru kamkosiyiti, “Ananiya, mbona shetani kingira mmoyu mwaku na kukutenda gumzyangi Rohu Mnanagala kwa kulitulira seemu ya mpiya zagupatiti kulawilirana na lilambu lilii?
But Peter said, Ananias, why has the Evil One put it into your heart to be false to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
4 Pamberi pa kuliwuza liweriti lyaku na paguliwuziti kala, isigala mpiya azi ziweriti zaku guzitumii ntambu yagufira. Toziya gaa, gwamuwiti mmoyu mwaku kutenda shitwatira sha ntambu ayi? Gumzyanga ndiri muntu, Gumzyanga Mlungu!”
While you had it, was it not your property? and after you had given it in exchange, was it not still in your power? how has this purpose come into your mind? you have been false, not to men, but to God.
5 Ananiya, pakapikaniriti aga kaguwa pasi, kahowa. Wantu woseri wapikiniriti shisoweru sha lilawiru ali watiriti nentu.
And at these words, Ananias went down on the earth, and his life went from him: and great fear came on all who were present.
6 Wandemba wasoka, wayigibikira njimba yakuwi, wamlaviya kunja, wamsira.
And the young men went and made ready his body, and took it out, and put it in the earth.
7 Pa shipindi sha masaa matatu hangu, mdala gwakuwi, pota kuvimana shitwatira shilawiriti, kingira mngati amu.
And about three hours after, his wife, having no knowledge of what had taken place, came in.
8 Peteru kamgambira, “Gung'ambiri! Hashi, shiyasi ashi sha mpiya ndo shampatiti kwa kuwuza lirambu lilii?” Yomberi kankula, “Yina, ndo sheni ashi”
And Peter said to her, Give me an answer: was this amount of money the price of the land? And she said, Yes, it was.
9 Yomberi Peteru kamgambira, “Mbona mtenda mpangu kumjera Rohu gwa Mtuwa? Gupikiniri! Walii wantu wagenditi kumusira mpalu gwaku, vinu wapanu pamlyangu na wankukutola gwenga viraa.”
But Peter said to her, Why have you made an agreement together to be false to the Spirit of the Lord? See, the feet of the young men who have put the body of your husband in the earth, are at the door, and they will take you out.
10 Vumu Safila kaguwa kulongolu kwa magulu ga Peteru, kahowa. Wandemba walii pawingiriti, wamwoniti kahowa kala, hangu wamlaviya kunja, wamsira pakwegera na mpalu gwakuwi.
And straight away she went down at his feet, and her life went from her: and the young men came in and saw her dead, and they took her out and put her in the earth with her husband.
11 Shipinga shoseri sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu pamuhera na woseri yawapikaniriti shisoweru sha vitwatira avi, watiriti nentu.
Then great fear came on all the church and on all who had knowledge of these things.
12 Wantumintumi watenditi mauzauza na makangashu gavuwa pakati pa wantu. Wawumini waweriti wankuliwona pamwera muukumbi wa Selemani.
Now a number of signs and wonders were done among the people by the hands of the Apostles; and they were all together in Solomon's covered way.
13 Muntu yoseri gwingi yakaweriti ndiri muumini kajeriti ndiri kuwera pamhera na womberi. Ata hangu, wantu wamonga yawawera ndiri na njimiru ayi wawazyuma.
The others, in fear, kept back from joining them: but the people made much of them;
14 Walanga ya wantu yawamjimiriti Mtuwa, wapalu na wadala, iyongerekiti.
And a great number of men and women had faith, and were joined to the Lord;
15 Toziya ayi, wantu waweriti wankuwajega walweli mnjira na kuwagonjeka pampindi pa shitanda na mikeka su Peteru pakapita, tembera shivuni shakuwi shiwashinkuli wamu wawu.
And they even took into the streets people who were ill, and put them on beds, so that when Peter went by, some of them might be in his shade.
16 Wantu wavuwa wasokiti kulawa mulushi za kumbekumbeku za Yerusalemu, wankuwajega walweli wawu na walii yawawera na shamshera wadoda na womberi woseri waponiziwa.
And numbers of people came together from the towns round about Jerusalem, with those who were ill and those who were troubled with unclean spirits: and they were all made well.
17 Shakapanu mtambika mkulu na wayaguwi yawaweriti pamuhera na shipinga sha Masadukayu, wawera na weya.
But the high priest and those who were with him (the Sadducees) were full of envy,
18 Su, wawatawa ntumintumi, na kuwajega mngati mnumba nkulu ya shibetubetu.
And they took the Apostles and put them in the common prison.
19 Kumbiti pashiru ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa kayivuguliti milyangu ya shibetubetu, kawalaviya kunja, kawagambira,
But in the night an angel of the Lord, opening the doors of the prison, took them out and said,
20 “Mgendi mkagoloki Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu na kuwagambira wantu kila shintu kuusu makaliru aga gasyayi.”
Go, take your place in the Temple and give the people all the teaching about this Life.
21 Wantumintumi wajimiriti, wingira Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu mandawira putiputi, wanja kufunda. Mtambika mkulu na wayaguwi pawasokiti, washemiti mkutanu gwa shizyungu shikulu, ndo shipinga sha wazewi wa Wayawudi, shakapanu wawatuma wantu mushibetubetu wawajegi wantumintumi walii.
And hearing this, they went into the Temple at dawn, and were teaching. But the high priest and those who were with him got together the Sanhedrin and the representatives of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to get them.
22 Kumbiti wakulu awa pawasokiti aku wawawona ndiri mshibetubetu mlii. Hangu wawuyiti, wawagambira mumkutanu,
But the men who were sent saw that they were not in the prison, and came back with the news,
23 Pawatakula, “Tuwoniti shibetubetu shitatwa kila uwega na walolera wankulolera milyangu. Kumbiti patuvuguliti tumwona ndiri muntu yoseri mngati.”
Saying, The doors of the prison were safely shut, and the keepers were at the doors, but when they were open, there was nobody inside.
24 Mkulu gwa walolera wa numba nkulu ya Mlungu na watambika wakulu pawapikaniriti shisoweru ashi wawera na lyoga, wavimana ndiri gawawapatiti.
Now, at these words, the captain of the Temple and the chief priests were greatly troubled about what might be the end of this business.
25 Kiza muntu yumu, kawagambira, “wantu walii yamuwatatiriti mshibetubetu, vinu wamunumba nkulu ya Mlungu, wankufunda wantu.”
And someone came and said to them, The men, whom you put in prison, are in the Temple teaching the people.
26 Panu mkulu gwa walolera wa numba nkulu ya Mlungu pamwera na wantu wakuwi wagenditi mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, kawajega. Kumbiti wawakamula ndiri kwa likakala, toziya watiriti handa wantu mewawagumi mabuwi.
Then the captain and some of the police went and took them, but not violently, for fear that they might be stoned by the people.
27 Su wawajega, wawagolisiya kulongolu kushizyungu, Mtambika Mkulu kawagambira,
And they took them into the Sanhedrin, and the high priest said to them,
28 “Tuwaberiti paweru kufunda kwa litawu lya muntu ayu, vinu mweneza mafunda genu poseri Muyerusalemu na mupanga kututulira lawama ya kuhowa kwa muntu ayu.”
We gave you very clear orders not to give teaching in this name: and now Jerusalem is full of your teaching, and you are attempting to make us responsible for this man's death.
29 Panu Peteru, kiwiti pamwera na walii ntumintumi wamonga, kankula, “Mpaka tumjimiri Mlungu, muntu ndiri.
But Peter and the Apostles, answering, said, We have to do the orders of God, not of man.
30 Mlungu gwa mbuyi gwetu kamzyukisiyiti Yesu pa mwenga kumlaga kwa kumpingika mlupingika.
The God of our fathers gave Jesus back to life, whom you had put to death, hanging him on a tree.
31 Ayu ndomweni ulii yakakwisitwi na Mlungu mpaka uwega wakuwi wa mliwu, kawera mlongoziya na Mlopoziya su katendi wantu wa Israeli waleki vidoda, wapati kulekiziwa vidoda vyawu.
Him God has put on high at his right hand, as a Ruler and a Saviour, to give to Israel a change of heart and forgiveness of sins.
32 Twenga ndo wakapitawu wa lilawiru ali, yomberi Rohu Mnanagala ndo yomberi Mlungu kawayupa walii wawamjimira, wankupitaulira vira lilawiru ali.”
And we are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who keep his laws.
33 Wajumbi woseri wa shizyunga shilii pawapikaniriti aga, waweriti na maya, ata waamuwa kuwalaga.
But when these words came to their ears, they were cut to the heart, and had a mind to put them to death.
34 Kumbiti Mfalisayu yumu yawamshema Gamalieli mweni kaweriti mfunda gwa Malagaliru na yakapananitwi ligoya nentu kulongolu kwa wantu woseri, kagolokiti kulongolu kushizyungu kulii, kafiriti ntumintumi walii walaviwi kunja katepu.
But one of the Sanhedrin, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a man of learning in the law, of whom all the people had a high opinion, got up and made a suggestion for the men to be put outside for a little time.
35 Shakapanu kawagambira wajumbi walii wa shizyungu, “Walushi lwa Israeli, shondi pamberi pa kutenda ashi shamfira kuwatenda wantu awa!
And he said to them, Men of Israel, take care what you do about these men.
36 Makashu shididini, kulawiriti muntu yumu litawu lyakuwi Teuda, kalitakulira kuwera muntu gwa mana na wantu pakwegera na miya mhanu walijegiti pamhera na yomberi, kumbiti wamlagiti, shakapanu wandundami wakuwi woseri wapalanganika na shipinga shakuwi shifuwa.
For before this there was Theudas, who said he was someone important, to whom about four hundred men gave their support: he was put to death, and his band was broken up and came to nothing.
37 Kayi, shakapanu, shipindi shilii sha kuwalangwa wantu, kalawiriti Yuda gwa Galilaya. Ayu na yomberi kwawakwegiti wantu wamfata, Kumbiti na yomberi wamlagiti, na wandundami wakuwi wapalanganikiti.
After this man, there was Judas of Galilee, at the time of the numbering, and some of the people went after him: he was put to death, and all his supporters were put to flight.
38 Na vinu viraa neni nuwagambira kotukuwatendera shintu shoseri wantu awa, muwalekiziyi! Toziya, payiwera shitendu ashi shawu shanjishwa na muntu, hashiwuki sheni.
And now I say to you, Do nothing to these men, but let them be: for if this teaching or this work is of men, it will come to nothing:
39 Kumbiti handa shanjishwa na Mlungu, hera ndiri handa hapeni muwezi kuwakanga, su hamliwoni mmulema Mlungu.”
But if it is of God, you will not be able to overcome them, and you are in danger of fighting against God.
40 Su wawashema ntumintumi walii, waamuwa wasyatagwi viboku na kuwaberiziya nawafunda kayi kwa litawu lya Yesu, shakapanu wawaleka wagendi zawu.
And he seemed to them to be right: and they sent for the Apostles, and, after having them whipped and giving them orders to give no teaching in the name of Jesus, they let them go.
41 Su, ntumintumi walawa kunja kushizyungu pawamema nemeru, toziya wafiruwiti kusoniziwa kwajili ya litawu lya Yesu.
So they went away from the Sanhedrin, happy to undergo shame for the Name.
42 Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu na ukaya kwa wantu, womberi wendereyiti kila lishaka kufunda na kubwera Shisoweru Shiwagira sha Yesu kuwera ndo Kristu.
And every day, in the Temple and privately, they went on teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.
