Imbombo zya Atume 3
1 U Petro nu Yohana bhabhalaga hushibhanza apuute, yahali saa tisa.
One day, as Peter and John were going up into the Temple Courts for the three o’clock Prayers,
2 Umuntu umo alinanchisi manama afume shapipwe, bhahanyemulaga shila lisiku bhabhehaga mundyango ugweshibhanza, gwagwahitwaga gwinza, aje abhalabhaje abhantu bhabhahwinjila mushibhanza.
a man, who had been lame from his birth, was being carried by. This man used to be set down every day at the gate of the Temple called ‘the Beautiful Gate,’ to beg of those who went in.
3 Nawabhalola aPetro nu Yohana bhazubhula aje bhinjile mushibhanza, wabhalaabha esadaka.
Seeing Peter and John on the point of entering, he asked them to give him something.
4 U Petro nu Yohana bhamwenya hu maso bhaga,”tenye ate.”
Peter fixed his eyes on him, and so did John, and then Peter said, “Look at us.”
5 Ula unanjisu manama wabhenya, wasubhila apelwe ahantu hahonti afume hwabhene.
The man was all attention, expecting to get something from them;
6 Umwene uPetro waga ane sendi ne, “hela wala edhahabu, lelo hendi naho hehupela. Hwitawa elya Yesu Kilisiti wa Nazareti, emelela.”
but Peter added, “I have no gold or silver, but I give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up and walk.”
7 U Petro wakhata ukhono ulilo wabhusya, amafugamo gakwe gapata ikhone.
Grasping the lame man by the right hand, Peter lifted him up. Instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong,
8 Umuntu ula wimilila najende na rusherushe winjila mushibhanza nu Petro nu Yohana ohu ajenda yuyo ohu ahulumba Ungulubhi.
and, leaping up, he stood and began to walk about, and then went with them into the Temple Courts, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9 Abhantu bhonti nabhalola ajenda bhalumba Ungulubhi.
All the people saw him walking about and praising God;
10 Bhamanya huje yayula yalinanjisu manama yalabhaga esadaka pandyango gweshibhanza; abhantu bhahaswiga embombo Ungulubhi zyabhombile hwa muntu ula.
and, when they recognized him as the man who used to sit begging at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple, they were utterly astonished and amazed at what had happened to him.
11 Abhantu nabhalola umuntu ula abhomiliye aPetro nu Yohana, bhashimbila muukumbi wawahetelwe wa Sulemani, bhahaswijile tee.
While the man still clung to Peter and John, the people all quickly gathered around them in the Colonnade named after Solomon, in the greatest astonishment.
12 U Petro nawalola isho, wabhabhu ula abhantu bha Israeli, yeenu muswiga? Nantele mutenya ate aje ate tetimwemelesizye umuntu unu hwi khone lyetu?”
On seeing this, Peter said to the people, “People of Israel, why are you surprised at this? And why do you stare at us, as though we, by any power or piety of our own, had enabled this man to walk?
13 Ungulubhi wa Ibulahimu, Ungulubhi wa Isaka, nuwa Yakobo, Ungulubhi wa Yise bhetu, amwemeshe utumishi wakwe uYesu. Unu amwe mwahakhanile hwa Pilato, nantele uPilato, ahanzaga huleshele wene.
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our ancestors, has done honor to his servant Jesus – him whom you gave up and disowned before Pilate, when he had decided to set him free.
14 Mwahakhene Umfinjile wa Ngulubhi umuntu Umwinza, mwahamwanza abhigulile unyambuda aleshelwe wene.
You, I say, disowned the holy and righteous one, and asked for the release of a murderer!
15 Amwe mwabudile umwene uwi womi, lelo Ungulubhi azyusya afume hwabhafwe - Ate tili bhaketi bhakwe.
The guide to life you put to death! But God raised him from the dead – and of that we are ourselves witnesses.
16 Eshi, ulweteho hwitawa lya Yesu, unu lwalupiye ikhone elyajendele umuntu unu yamuhulola na kujua, alifanywa kuwa na nguvu. Imani ambayo inapitia kwa Yesu imempa yeye afya hii kamilifu, mbele yenu ninyi nyote.
And it is by faith in the name of Jesus, that this man, whom you all see and know, has – by his name – been made strong. Yes, it is the faith inspired by Jesus that has made this complete cure of the man, before the eyes of you all.
17 Eshi, Bhaholo, bhane elola mwabhombile esho hunongwa yelema, atubhalongozi bhenyu shabhabhombile.
And yet, my friends, I know that you acted as you did from ignorance, and your rulers also.
18 Lelo enongwa zya yanjile Ungulubhi ashilile akuwe bhakwe aje uYesu ailabha zibhombishe eshi.
But it was in this way that God fulfilled all that he had long ago foretold, as to the sufferings of his Christ, by the lips of all the prophets.
19 Eshi mulabhe na galushe, nke mbibhi zyenyu zyepe nkazyenze ensiku ezya sungwe naseshelele nayenza umwene uYesu;
Therefore, repent and turn so that your sins may be wiped away; so that happier times may come from the Lord himself,
20 Aitumwa uYesu yasalulwe nu Ngulubhi hulimwe.
and so that he may send you, in Jesus, your long-appointed Christ.
21 Umwene yayuyo emwanya lazima zimwejelele mpaka evintu vyonti navyaigaluha, vyayanjile Ungulubhi ashilile akuwe bhakwe afinjile. (aiōn g165)
But heaven must be his home, until the days of the Universal Restoration, of which God has spoken by the lips of his holy prophets from the very first. (aiōn g165)
22 Lyoli uMusa ayanjile, 'Huje Ugosi Ungulubhi aja aihubhiha ukuwe neshi ane afume hwa holo bhenyu. Mwaihumwonvwelezya shila hantu haibhabhuula amwe.
Moses himself said – ‘The Lord your God will raise up from among yourselves a prophet, as he raised me. To him you will listen whenever he speaks to you.
23 Ihaibha aje shila muntu yasagaa ihutejelezya okuwe uyo aibhengwa ayepe pabhamwabho.'
And it will be that should anyone among the people not listen to that prophet, he will be utterly destroyed.’
24 Lyoli, akuwe bhonti ahwandile hwa Samueli na bhaala bhabhapyanie pamwene bhatangazizye naziyanje ensiku ezi.
Yes, and all the prophets from Samuel onwards, and all their successors who had a message to deliver, told of these days.
25 Amwe mulibhana bhakuwe neilagano Ungulubhi lyalagine na gogolo bhetu abhemande neshi shayayanjile nu Ibrahimu, 'Aje abhana bhe mpapo yaho abhantu bhonti bha munsi bhaisaiwa.'
You yourselves are the heirs of the prophets, and heirs, too, of the covenant which God made with your ancestors, when he said to Abraham – ‘In your descendants will all the nations of the earth be blessed.’
26 Ungulubhi pa wamwimiha uYesu waleta hulimwe nasoti huje abhasaye amwe nkamwagaluha nahuzileshe embibhi zyenyu.”
For you, first, God raised up his servant, and sent him to bless you, by turning each one of you from his wicked ways.”
