Incito 4
1 Petulo kacamba ne basa bantu, kali pamo ne Yohane, kwalesa beshimilumbo nabambi, pamo ne mukulene wa bamalonda baku Ng'anda ya Lesa, ne Basaduki nabambi.
As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them,
2 Balikuba bakalala pacebo cakwambeti, batumwa babili basa balikwiyisha bantu ne kukambauka sha kupunduka kwa Yesu.
being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
3 Neco balabekata ne kubabika mujele cindi ca mansailo kakuli kulashipuluku, kwambeti bekalemo mpaka lilo mumene.
They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening.
4 Nikukabeco, bantu bangi balanyumfwa maswi abatumwa basa balashoma. Cibelengelo cabashoma calakwana myanda makumi asanu.
But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.
5 Mpobwalaca mumene, batangunishi ba Bayuda ne bamakulene babo ne beshikwiyisha Milawo ya Mose, balabungana mu Yelusalemu.
In the morning, their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem.
6 Popelapo palikuba Mukulene wa Beshimilumbo bonse Anasi ne Kayafa ne Yohane ne Alesandulo ne nabambi bamumukowa wa Shimilumbo Mukulene.
Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest.
7 Balemanika Petulo ne Yohane pakati ne kubepusheti, “Mwacikonshaconi kwinsa cisa, nambi mwensa cisa mungofu shabani?”
When they had stood Peter and John in the middle of them, they inquired, “By what power, or in what name, have you done this?”
8 Petulo, pakwisulilwa ne Mushimu Uswepa, walabakumbuleti, “Amwe batangunishi ba bantu, ne njamwe bamakulene muli pano.
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “You rulers of the people and elders of Israel,
9 Pakwinga mulatwipushunga lelo pa ncito yaina yalenshika pa muntu mulema usa ne kusengulwa kwakendi,
if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed,
10 lino mwinshibe mwense, ne Baislayeli nabambi, uyu muntu wemana pamenso penu wapola cakupwililila, pacebo cangofu sha lina lya Yesu Klistu waku Nasaleti, usa ngomwalapopa palusanda, Lesa ngwalapundusha kubafu.”
may it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, this man stands here before you whole in him.
11 Kwamba sha Yesu, Mabala Lesa alambangeti, “Libwe ndyomwalakana mobeshikwibaka ng'anda Lyopelyo lyalaba libwe Lyayandika kupita onse.”
He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’
12 Paliya muntu nakaba umo, welela kupulusha bantu, nsombi Yesu enkowa, pakwinga paliya lina nalimbi pacishi capanshi, Lesa ndyalapa muntu naumbi, lyelela kutupulusha.
There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”
13 Ba munkuta mpobalabona kubula buyowa kwa Petulo ne Yohane, balakankamana, pakwinga balikuba bantu bulyo, babula lwiyo. Popelapo balenshibeti, balikwenda pamo ne Yesu.
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.
14 Mpobalabona usa muntu walasengulwa kaliwemana pepi ne Petulo ne Yohane, balabula pa kubatotekela.
Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
15 Balabambileti, bapule munkuta. Balo bashala kabalifwiya.
But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
16 Balambeti, “Inga tubensaconi bantu aba? Bantu bonse bekala mu Yelusalemu bacinshi ncobensa bantu aba cikankamanisha ncotwelela kubula kucikana sobwe.
saying, “What shall we do to these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we can’t deny it.
17 Nomba pakutina kwambeti awa makani katayampuwo, katubatinishani kwambeti, kabatambanga sha Yesu babandikanga ne muntu uliyense.”
But so that this spreads no further among the people, let’s threaten them, that from now on they don’t speak to anyone in this name.”
18 Mpobalalifwiyeco, balabakuwa ne kubambilisheti, kabatashumbulanga, nambi kwiyisha sha Yesu.
They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
19 Nomba Petulo ne Yohane balabakumbuleti, “Kamulyomboloshani mobene, nicipeyo calulama pamenso a Lesa, kunyumfwila amwe? Nambi kunyumfwila Lesa?
But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,
20 Mwandi afwe, nkatwelela kucileka kwambapo pabintu mbyotwalabona ne kubinyumfwa.”
for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.”
21 Nomba bankuta balabatinisha mwangofu, ne kubasungulula. Balacana kwambeti nkabelela kubapa cisubulo, pakwinga bantu bonse balikabatembaula Lesa palico calenshika.
When they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done.
22 Usa muntu walasengulwa munshila yakankamanisha walikuba ne byaka byapita makumi ana.
For the man on whom this miracle of healing was performed was more than forty years old.
23 Petulo ne Yohane mpobalasungululwa, balaya kwambila banabo mbyobalambilwa ne beshimilumbo bamakulene ne bamakulene Baciyuda.
Being let go, they came to their own company and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
24 Bashoma mpobalanyumfweco, balapaila pamo ne moyo umo. Balambeti, “Mwami Lesa, njamwe mwalalenga kwilu, ne cishi capanshi ne lwenje, kayi ne byonse bilimo.”
When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord and said, “O Lord, you are God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;
25 Kupitila mu Mushimu Uswepa mwalamba ku mushali wetu mukulukulu Dafeti, musebenshi wenu uyo walambeti, Niciyani calakalalisha bantu batamwishi Lesa, inga bantu balapanganina cani bintu byabulyo?
who by the mouth of your servant David, said, ‘Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?
26 Bami bapacishi capanshi balalibambila, nabo bendeleshi balabungana pamo kulwana ne Lesa, kayi ne Wasalwa wakendi.
The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers plot together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.’
27 “Nicakubinga, Helode ne Ponsho Pilato, balabungana mu munshi muno, pamo ne bantu batamwinshi Lesa, kayi ne Baislayeli, kwambeti balwane ne Yesu musebenshi wenu Washomeka uyo ngomwalasala kuba Mesiya.
“For truly, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed,
28 “Neco, balenseco, amwe ncomwalabamba kendi mungofu shenu, kwelana ne kuyanda kwenu kwambeti celela kwinshika.
to do whatever your hand and your counsel foreordained to happen.
29 Neco Mwami, kamubonani ncebalatutinishinga, kamutunyamfwilishako tobasebenshi benu, kwambeti twambenga maswi enu kwakubula buyowa.
Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,
30 Tandabulani cikasa cenu kwambeti bantu basengulwe, bingashilo ne bishikukankamanisha, binshike mu lina lya Yesu musebenshi wenu washomeka.”
while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.”
31 Mpobalapwisha kupaila, ng'anda njobalikuba babunganamo yalatatika kutenkana. Bonse balesulilwa ne Mushimu Uswepa, balatatika kwamba maswi a Lesa kwakubula buyowa.
When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
32 Likoto lya bashoma Lesa balikuba ne moyo umo ne miyeyo imo. Paliya muntu walikuba ne muyeyo wakwambeti, “Ibi mbyonkute nibyakame ndenka.” Bonse balikuyabana bintu mbyobalikukute.
The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.
33 Batumwa balikukute bukamboni bwangofu bwa kwambeti Yesu cakubinga walapunduka kubafu. Bonse Lesa walikubaleleka kwine.
With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.
34 Nkapalikuba wabulilwa pakati pabo, pakwinga abo balikukute mabala, nambi manda, balikulishapo ne kuleta mali kuli batumwa.
For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,
35 Nabo batumwa balikuyaba mali ku muntu uliyense kwelana ne kubulilwa kwakendi.
and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.
36 Palikuba muntu walikukwiweti Yosefe, wamucikombo ca Levi, walasemenwa ku Saipulasi, uyo batumwa ngobalatumbika lina eti Banabasi, uku ekwambeti, “Shikuyuminisha.”
Joses, who by the apostles was also called Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,
37 Nendi walaulisha libala lyakendi, ne kuleta mali kuli batumwa.
having a field, sold it and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
