< Imbombo zya Atume 3 >

1 U Petro nu Yohana bhabhalaga hushibhanza apuute, yahali saa tisa.
One day Peter and John were going up to the Temple for the hour of prayer--the ninth hour--and, just then,
2 Umuntu umo alinanchisi manama afume shapipwe, bhahanyemulaga shila lisiku bhabhehaga mundyango ugweshibhanza, gwagwahitwaga gwinza, aje abhalabhaje abhantu bhabhahwinjila mushibhanza.
some men were carrying there one who had been lame from birth, whom they were wont to place every day close to the Beautiful Gate (as it was called) of the Temple, for him to beg from the people as they went in.
3 Nawabhalola aPetro nu Yohana bhazubhula aje bhinjile mushibhanza, wabhalaabha esadaka.
Seeing Peter and John about to go into the Temple, he asked them for alms.
4 U Petro nu Yohana bhamwenya hu maso bhaga,”tenye ate.”
Peter fixing his eyes on him, as John did also, said, "Look at us."
5 Ula unanjisu manama wabhenya, wasubhila apelwe ahantu hahonti afume hwabhene.
So he looked and waited, expecting to receive something from them.
6 Umwene uPetro waga ane sendi ne, “hela wala edhahabu, lelo hendi naho hehupela. Hwitawa elya Yesu Kilisiti wa Nazareti, emelela.”
"I have no silver or gold," Peter said, "but what I have, I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene-- walk!"
7 U Petro wakhata ukhono ulilo wabhusya, amafugamo gakwe gapata ikhone.
Then taking his hand Peter lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were strengthened.
8 Umuntu ula wimilila najende na rusherushe winjila mushibhanza nu Petro nu Yohana ohu ajenda yuyo ohu ahulumba Ungulubhi.
Leaping up, he stood upright and began to walk, and went into the Temple with them, walking, leaping, and praising God.
9 Abhantu bhonti nabhalola ajenda bhalumba Ungulubhi.
All the people saw him walking and praising God;
10 Bhamanya huje yayula yalinanjisu manama yalabhaga esadaka pandyango gweshibhanza; abhantu bhahaswiga embombo Ungulubhi zyabhombile hwa muntu ula.
and recognizing him as the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple asking for alms, they were filled with awe and amazement at what had happened to him.
11 Abhantu nabhalola umuntu ula abhomiliye aPetro nu Yohana, bhashimbila muukumbi wawahetelwe wa Sulemani, bhahaswijile tee.
While he still clung to Peter and John, the people, awe-struck, ran up crowding round them in what was known as Solomon's Portico.
12 U Petro nawalola isho, wabhabhu ula abhantu bha Israeli, yeenu muswiga? Nantele mutenya ate aje ate tetimwemelesizye umuntu unu hwi khone lyetu?”
Peter, seeing this, spoke to the people. "Israelites," he said, "why do you wonder at this man? Or why gaze at us, as though by any power or piety of our own we had enabled him 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 forefathers, has conferred this honour on His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and disowned in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to let Him go.
14 Mwahakhene Umfinjile wa Ngulubhi umuntu Umwinza, mwahamwanza abhigulile unyambuda aleshelwe wene.
Yes, you disowned the holy and righteous One, and asked as a favour the release of a murderer.
15 Amwe mwabudile umwene uwi womi, lelo Ungulubhi azyusya afume hwabhafwe - Ate tili bhaketi bhakwe.
The Prince of Life you put to death; but God has raised Him from the dead, and we are witnesses as to that.
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.
It is His name-- faith in that name being the condition--which has strengthened this man whom you behold and know; and the faith which He has given has made this man sound and strong again, as you can all see.
17 Eshi, Bhaholo, bhane elola mwabhombile esho hunongwa yelema, atubhalongozi bhenyu shabhabhombile.
"And now, brethren, I know that it was in ignorance that you did it, as was the case with your rulers also.
18 Lelo enongwa zya yanjile Ungulubhi ashilile akuwe bhakwe aje uYesu ailabha zibhombishe eshi.
But in this way God has fulfilled the declarations He made through all the Prophets, that His Christ would suffer.
19 Eshi mulabhe na galushe, nke mbibhi zyenyu zyepe nkazyenze ensiku ezya sungwe naseshelele nayenza umwene uYesu;
Repent, therefore, and reform your lives, so that the record of your sins may be cancelled, and that there may come seasons of revival from the Lord,
20 Aitumwa uYesu yasalulwe nu Ngulubhi hulimwe.
and that He may send the Christ appointed beforehand for you--even Jesus.
21 Umwene yayuyo emwanya lazima zimwejelele mpaka evintu vyonti navyaigaluha, vyayanjile Ungulubhi ashilile akuwe bhakwe afinjile. (aiōn g165)
Heaven must receive Him until those times of which God has spoken from the earliest ages through the lips of His holy Prophets--the times of the reconstitution of all things. (aiōn g165)
22 Lyoli uMusa ayanjile, 'Huje Ugosi Ungulubhi aja aihubhiha ukuwe neshi ane afume hwa holo bhenyu. Mwaihumwonvwelezya shila hantu haibhabhuula amwe.
Moses declared, "'The Lord your God will raise up a Prophet for you from among your brethren as He has raised me. In all that He says to you, you must listen to Him.
23 Ihaibha aje shila muntu yasagaa ihutejelezya okuwe uyo aibhengwa ayepe pabhamwabho.'
And every one, without exception, who refuses to listen to that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the People.'
24 Lyoli, akuwe bhonti ahwandile hwa Samueli na bhaala bhabhapyanie pamwene bhatangazizye naziyanje ensiku ezi.
Yes, and all the Prophets, from Samuel onwards--all who have spoken--have also announced the coming of this present time.
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 are the heirs of the Prophets, and of the Covenant which God made with your forefathers when He said to Abraham, 'And through your posterity all the families of the world shall be blessed.'
26 Ungulubhi pa wamwimiha uYesu waleta hulimwe nasoti huje abhasaye amwe nkamwagaluha nahuzileshe embibhi zyenyu.”
It is to you first that God, after raising His Servant from the grave, has sent Him to bless you, by causing every one of you to turn from your wickedness."
