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, sold an estate,
2 Kumbiti, mdala gwakuwi pakawera kavimana, Ananiya kalitulila seemu ya mpiya zyakazipatiti na seemu imonga ilii kawayupiti wantumintumi.
and secreted a part of the price, his wife also, being privy to it: and bringing a certain part, he laid it down 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 Satan filled your heart, that you should attempt to impose on the Holy Spirit, and to secrete a 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 it remained, did it not continue yours? and when it was sold, was it not at your own disposal? Why have you admitted this thing into your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God.
5 Ananiya, pakapikaniriti aga kaguwa pasi, kahowa. Wantu woseri wapikiniriti shisoweru sha lilawiru ali watiriti nentu.
And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and expired: and great fear fell on all that heard these things.
6 Wandemba wasoka, wayigibikira njimba yakuwi, wamlaviya kunja, wamsira.
Then the young men arose, and bound him up, and carrying him out, they buried him.
7 Pa shipindi sha masaa matatu hangu, mdala gwakuwi, pota kuvimana shitwatira shilawiriti, kingira mngati amu.
After the interval of about three hours, his wife, also, not knowing what was done, 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, Tell me whether you sold the land for so much. And she said, Yes, for so much.
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.”
Then Peter said to her, How is it that you have conspired together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold the feet of those who have been burying your husband are at the door, and they shall carry 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 immediately she fell down at his feet, and expired: and the young men coming in, found her dead, and carried her out, and buried her by her husband.
11 Shipinga shoseri sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu pamuhera na woseri yawapikaniriti shisoweru sha vitwatira avi, watiriti nentu.
And great fear came on all the assembly, and on all that heard these things.
12 Wantumintumi watenditi mauzauza na makangashu gavuwa pakati pa wantu. Wawumini waweriti wankuliwona pamwera muukumbi wa Selemani.
And many signs and wonders were done among the people by the hands of the Apostles, (and they were all unanimously in Solomon's portico;
13 Muntu yoseri gwingi yakaweriti ndiri muumini kajeriti ndiri kuwera pamhera na womberi. Ata hangu, wantu wamonga yawawera ndiri na njimiru ayi wawazyuma.
and not one of the rest presumed to join himself to them, but the people magnified them:
14 Walanga ya wantu yawamjimiriti Mtuwa, wapalu na wadala, iyongerekiti.
and believers were more and more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women: )
15 Toziya ayi, wantu waweriti wankuwajega walweli mnjira na kuwagonjeka pampindi pa shitanda na mikeka su Peteru pakapita, tembera shivuni shakuwi shiwashinkuli wamu wawu.
insomuch that along the streets they brought out the sick, and laid them on beds, and couches, that even the shadow of Peter, coming by, might overshadow some of them.
16 Wantu wavuwa wasokiti kulawa mulushi za kumbekumbeku za Yerusalemu, wankuwajega walweli wawu na walii yawawera na shamshera wadoda na womberi woseri waponiziwa.
And multitudes also, out of the cities round about, came together to Jerusalem, bringing the sick, and those that were troubled with unclean spirits, who were all healed.
17 Shakapanu mtambika mkulu na wayaguwi yawaweriti pamuhera na shipinga sha Masadukayu, wawera na weya.
But the high priest arising, and all they that were him, being the sect of the Sadducees, were filled with zeal,
18 Su, wawatawa ntumintumi, na kuwajega mngati mnumba nkulu ya shibetubetu.
and laid their hands on the Apostles, and put them into the common prison.
19 Kumbiti pashiru ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa kayivuguliti milyangu ya shibetubetu, kawalaviya kunja, kawagambira,
But a messenger of the Lord, by night, opened the doors of the prison, and bringing them out, said,
20 “Mgendi mkagoloki Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu na kuwagambira wantu kila shintu kuusu makaliru aga gasyayi.”
Go, and presenting yourselves in the temple, speak to the people all the words of 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 very early into the temple, and taught. But the high priest being come, and they that were with him, they called together the Sanhedrim, even the whole Senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
22 Kumbiti wakulu awa pawasokiti aku wawawona ndiri mshibetubetu mlii. Hangu wawuyiti, wawagambira mumkutanu,
But when the officers came, they found them not in the prison. Returning, therefore, they made their report,
23 Pawatakula, “Tuwoniti shibetubetu shitatwa kila uwega na walolera wankulolera milyangu. Kumbiti patuvuguliti tumwona ndiri muntu yoseri mngati.”
saying, We found, indeed, the prison shut with all safety, and the keepers standing before the doors; but, having opened them, we found no one within.
24 Mkulu gwa walolera wa numba nkulu ya Mlungu na watambika wakulu pawapikaniriti shisoweru ashi wawera na lyoga, wavimana ndiri gawawapatiti.
Now, when the high priest, and the captain of the temple guard, and the chief priests heard these words, they doubted concerning them, what this could be.
25 Kiza muntu yumu, kawagambira, “wantu walii yamuwatatiriti mshibetubetu, vinu wamunumba nkulu ya Mlungu, wankufunda wantu.”
But one came, and told them, Behold, the men whom you put in prison, are standing in the temple, and 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 went, with the officers, and brought them, (not by violence, for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned: )
27 Su wawajega, wawagolisiya kulongolu kushizyungu, Mtambika Mkulu kawagambira,
and when they had brought them, they set them before the Sanhedrim. And the high priest asked 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.”
saying, Did we not strictly charge you, that you should not teach in this name? and behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and would bring this man's blood upon us.
29 Panu Peteru, kiwiti pamwera na walii ntumintumi wamonga, kankula, “Mpaka tumjimiri Mlungu, muntu ndiri.
But Peter and the other Apostles answered, and said, It is necessary to obey God rather than men.
30 Mlungu gwa mbuyi gwetu kamzyukisiyiti Yesu pa mwenga kumlaga kwa kumpingika mlupingika.
The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom you slew, 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 has God exalted at his right hand, a Prince and Saviour, to give reformation to Israel, and remission 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 the Holy Spirit also, whom God has given to them who submit to his government.
33 Wajumbi woseri wa shizyunga shilii pawapikaniriti aga, waweriti na maya, ata waamuwa kuwalaga.
And when they heard this, they were enraged, and consulted 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 a certain Pharisee in the Sanhedrim, whose name was Gamaliel, a doctor of law, in great esteem among all the people, rose up, and commanded the Apostles to be taken out for a little while;
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 heed to yourselves what you are about to do to 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.
Some time ago Theudas arose, pretending himself to be a person of note: to whom a number of men, about four hundred, adhered, who was slain; and all who hearkened to him were scattered, 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 him, Judas, the Galilean, arose, in the days of the enrollment, and drew a multitude of people after him, and he was destroyed; and all who hearkened to him were dispersed.
38 Na vinu viraa neni nuwagambira kotukuwatendera shintu shoseri wantu awa, muwalekiziyi! Toziya, payiwera shitendu ashi shawu shanjishwa na muntu, hashiwuki sheni.
And now, in the present case, I say to you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this design and work be of men, it will be defeated;
39 Kumbiti handa shanjishwa na Mlungu, hera ndiri handa hapeni muwezi kuwakanga, su hamliwoni mmulema Mlungu.”
but if it be of God, you can not defeat them: lest, perhaps, you be found fighters against God.
40 Su wawashema ntumintumi walii, waamuwa wasyatagwi viboku na kuwaberiziya nawafunda kayi kwa litawu lya Yesu, shakapanu wawaleka wagendi zawu.
And they yielded to him; and having called in the Apostles, and scourged them, they charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them.
41 Su, ntumintumi walawa kunja kushizyungu pawamema nemeru, toziya wafiruwiti kusoniziwa kwajili ya litawu lya Yesu.
And they departed from the presence of the Sanhedrim. rejoicing that they were counted worthy to be exposed to infamy for the sake of his 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, daily, in the temple, and from house to house, they ceased not to teach and declare the good news, that Jesus is the Messiah.
