Incito 5
1 Lino palikuba muntu naumbi lina lyakendi Hananiya ne Safila mukashendi, nabo balaulisha libala lyabo.
Now a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a piece of property,
2 Walanyumfwana ne mukashendi, ne kufunyapo mali ngobalaulisha libala, ambi walatwala kuli batumwa.
and he kept back part of the sale money (his wife also knew it), and brought the other part of it and laid it at the apostles' feet.
3 Petulo walamwipusheti, “Hananiya obe, nipacebo cini ulamusuminishi Satana kwingila mumoyo wakobe cakwinseti ulatatiki kubepa Mushimu Uswepa, ne kufunyapo mali ngolaulishi libala lyakobe?
But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back part of the price of the land?
4 Sena libala nkalyanga lyakobe kotana ulyulisha? kayi mpowaulisha libala, sena nkowakutenga mali mumakasa akobe? Nkowayandikanga kwisa cisa? Apa uliya kubepa muntu sobwe, nsombi ulabepe Lesa.”
While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own, and after it was sold, was it not in your control? How is it that you thought of this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God.”
5 Hananiya mpwalanyumfwa maswi awa, walawa panshi ne kufwa popelapo. Ici calabayosha kwine bantu bonse balanyumfwako calenshika.
Hearing these words, Ananias fell down and breathed his last, and great fear came upon all who heard it.
6 Batuloba misepela balesa kufungaila citumbico mucikwisa, balacinyamuna ne kuya kubika mu manda.
The young men came forward and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.
7 Mpopalapita maola atatu, nendi mukashendi walengila mung'anda katacinshi cilenshiki.
After about three hours, his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
8 Petulo walamwipusheti, “Kong'ambila cena, sena awa emali onka ngomwaulisha libala lyenu? Mutukashuyo walakumbuleti, ‘Ee, wopelowo emulo wakendi.’
Peter said to her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” She said, “Yes, for so much.”
9 Kayi Petulo walamwipusheti, ‘Inga wasuminina cani kwambeti mwelekeshe Mushimu wa Mwami? Bantu bangakubika baibenu balipansa pa cishinga apa, nenjobe nibakumante.”
Then Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”
10 Nendi popelapo walawa panshi pamyendo ya Petulo, ne kufwa. Mpobalengila batuloba misepela basa, balacana kali wafwa kendi. Balanyamuna citumbi ne kuya kubika mu manda pepi ne mpobabika baibendi.
She immediately fell down at his feet and breathed her last. When the young men came in, they found her dead, and carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
11 Mubungano wonse ne bantu bonse nabambi, balanyumfwako balaba ne buyowa.
Great fear came upon the whole church, and upon all who heard these things.
12 Batumwa balensa bingashilo ne bishikukankamanisha bingi pakati pa bantu. Bonse bashoma Klistu balikubungana pamo mu Mukushi wa Solomoni.
Many signs and wonders were taking place among the people through the hands of the apostles. They were all together in Solomon's Porch.
13 Paliya naba umo walikuba kunsa kwalikoto walalibanda kwambeti abunganenga nabo, nsombi ne kukabeco bantu balikubalumbaisha.
But no one else had the courage to join them; however, they were held in high esteem by the people.
14 Bantu bashoma muli Lesa balatatika kufulilako, cakwinseti lyalaba likoto linene lya batuloba ne batukashi.
Still more believers were being added to the Lord, multitudes of men and women,
15 Pacebo ca bintu byalikwinsa batumwa, bantu bangi balatatika kuleta nekoneka balwashi babo pa malili ne pa mpasa munshila, kwambeti Petulo apitanga, mpani cifunsha cakendi ngacibakumyako balwashi.
so that they even carried the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, so that as Peter came by, his shadow might fall on some of them.
16 Makoto abantu alesa kufuma muminshi yashinguluka Yelusalemu balikwisa kabali banyamuna balwashi ne bekatwa ne mishimu yaipa, kayi bonse balikusengulwa.
There also came together a great number of people from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all healed.
17 Popelapo Mukulene wa Beshimilumbo, ne banendi ba mucipani ca Basaduki mulanyumfwa munyono. Neco balayeya kwinsapo kantu.
But the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees); and they were filled with jealousy
18 Balabekata batumwa basa ne kubacalila mujele.
and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in the public jail.
19 Nomba cindi camashiku, mungelo wa Mwami walabicalula bisasa bya jele ne kubapulishamo ne kubambileti,
Yet during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and led them out, and said,
20 “Kamuyani mwambile bantu bonse mu Ng'anda ya Lesa maswi abuyumi ubu bwalinolino.”
“Go, stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this life.”
21 Basa batumwa balanyumfwa, balengila mu lubuwa wa Ng'anda ya Lesa mumenemene ne kutatika kwiyisha. Mukulene wa Beshimilumbo mpwalashika ne banendi, walakuwa libungano lya bamakulene Baciyuda. Walatuma bamalonda baku Ng'anda ya Lesa kwambeti benga babamante batumwa basa ku Jele.
When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak and taught. But the high priest came, and those who were with him, and called the council together, all the elders of the people of Israel, and sent to the jail to have the apostles brought.
22 Nomba mpobalashika kujele, baliya kubacanamo sobwe. Mpobalabwelako balabambileti,
But the officers that went did not find them in the prison, and they returned and reported,
23 “Tulacana bishinga byakujele kabili byacalwa ne kupinkwa cena cena, kayi ne bamalonda kabali bemana ncili pacishinga. Nomba mpotulacalulu bisasa, tuliya kucanamo muntu naba umo sobwe.”
“We found the jail securely shut and the guards standing at the door, but when we had opened it, we found no one inside.”
24 Mukulene wa bamalonda baku Ng'anda ya Lesa ne beshimilumbo bamakulene mpobalanyumfwa awa maswi, balapwilwa mano ne kuyeyeti nicani ceticinshike.
Now when the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were much perplexed concerning them as to what would come of it.
25 Muntu naumbi walesa kubambileti, “Kamunyumfwani! Basa bantu mbomwacalila mujele, bali mu Ng'anda ya Lesa baleyishinga bantu.”
Then someone came and told them, “The men whom you put in the jail are standing in the temple and teaching the people.”
26 Popelapo mukulene wa bamalonda, pamo ne bashilikali nabambi, balaya kubamanta batumwa. Nsombi baliya kubakakatisha batumwa, pakwinga balikutina bantu kwambeti ngababapwaya mabwe.
So the captain went with the officers, and brought them back, but without violence, for they feared that the people might stone them.
27 Mpobalaleta batumwa basa, balabemanika pamenso pa nkuta inene ya Bayuda, apo Mukulene wa Beshimilumbo mpwalatatika kubepusha.
When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest interrogated them,
28 Walambeti, “Mucinshi cena kwambeti, twalamukanisha mwangofu kwambeti, kamutayishanga mulina lya Yesu, nsombi amwe mulamwaya biyisho byenu mu Yelusalemu monse, kayi mulayandanga kutusambila lufu lwa muntuyu?”
saying, “We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, and yet, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and desire to bring this man's blood upon us.”
29 Nomba Petulo ne batumwa banendi balakumbuleti, “Twelela kunyumfwila Lesa, kupita kunyumfwila bantu.
But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.
30 Amwe mwalashina Yesu pakumupopa pa lusanda. Nomba Lesa wa bamashali betu bakulukulu walamupundusha kubafu.
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree.
31 walamusumpula epeloyo ne kumubika kucikasa cakendi cakululyo kuba mutangunishi ne Mupulushi. Walenseco kwambeti ape cindi Baislayeli cakusanduka kufuma ku bwipishi bwabo, kwambeti Lesa abalekelele.
God exalted him to his right hand to be a prince and a savior, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
32 Njafwe bakamboni ba bintu ibi, ne Mushimu Uswepa uyo Lesa ngwakute kupeti cipo kubantu bakute kumunyumfwila.”
We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”
33 Bomboloshi bankuta inene mpobalanyumfweco, balakalala kabayanda kubashina.
When the council members heard this, they were furious and wanted to kill the apostles.
34 Nomba Mufalisi naumbi pakati pabo, lina lyakendi, Gamaliyele, shikwiyisha milawo, uyo bantu ngobalikupa bulemu, walemana. Walambeti, “Batumwa bapuleko pansa nanshi.”
But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honored by all the people, stood up and commanded the apostles to be taken outside for a little while.
35 Apo lino walabambila bomboloshi Bankuta inene kwambeti, “Amwe Baislayeli, cenjelani ne ncomulayandanga kwinshila bantu aba.
Then he said to them, “Men of Israel, pay close attention to what you propose to do with these people.
36 Na mulanukunga ca linolinowa, kwalikuba muntu naumbi lina lyakendi Teuda walikulisumpula ne kulibandeti ni muntu walemekwa, bantu bali myanda ina balamukonkela, nsombi balamushina, bantu bonse balikumukonkela balamwaika ne kupwilalimo.
For some time ago, Theudas rose up claiming to be somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined him. He was killed, and all who had been obeying him were scattered and came to nothing.
37 Kayi pacindi ncobalikubelenga bantu, palesa naumbi lina lyakendi Yudasi waku Galileya, nendi walayungaula bantu, bangi balamukonkela. Neye balamushina, bantu bonse balikumukonkela balamwaika.
After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all who had been obeying him were scattered.
38 Neco pankaniyi, ndamwambilishingeti, balekeni bantu aba, balekeni benga. Na ncobalayeyenga ne ncobalenshinga, bilafumunga kubantu nicikamwaike.
Now I say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or work is of men, it will be overthrown.
39 Nomba na bilafumunga kuli Lesa, nteti mucikonshe kubakoma sobwe. Ngamucaniketi mulalwanangowa ne Lesa.” Bonse balakonkela maswi ngalamba Gamaliyele.
But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them; you may even find that you are fighting against God.” So they were persuaded.
40 Balabakuwa batumwa ne kubengisha mukati, ne kwambeti babakwapule bikoti, ne kubambileti, “Kamutakabweshapo kwambila bantu mu lina lya Yesu.” Popelapo balabaleka.
Then they called the apostles in and beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
41 Batumwa mpobalapula pansa, balikuba bakondwa kwambeti Lesa lababoneti belela kupenshewa cipansoni pacebo ca Yesu.
They left the council rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the Name.
42 Busuba ne busuba batumwa balapitilisha kwiyisha ne kukambauka Mulumbe Waina mulubuwa lwa Ng'anda ya Lesa, kayi ne mu manda abantu kwambeti Yesu e Wasalwa wa Lesa.
Thereafter every day, in the temple and from house to house, they were continuously teaching and proclaiming Jesus as the Christ.
