Imbombo 5
1 Niike, umunhu jumonga akatambulivuagha Anania, nhu Safira undala ghwa mwene, valyaghusisie ikighavo kya kyiuma,
There was a man of the name of Ananias who, with his wife Sapphira, sold some property but,
2 akafisa Simo indalama sinovalya ghusisie (undala ghwa mwene ghuope alyakaguile ilio), pe akaleta ikighavo kinokisighile na kuvika pamaghulu gha vasung'wa.
with her full knowledge and consent, dishonestly kept back part of the price which he received for it, though he brought the rest and gave it to the Apostles.
3 Loli uPetro akajova, “Ananias kiiki usetano amemisie inhumbula jako kujova uvudesi Kwan Mhepo Mwimike napifisa ikighavo ikyakiuma ikya mughunda ghuako?
"Ananias," said Peter, "why has Satan taken possession of your heart, that you should try to deceive the Holy Spirit and dishonestly keep back part of the price paid you for this land?
4 Pano ghukakyiale nakikale kiuma kyiako? Kange ye ghughusivue, nalikale pasi pavulamuli vuuaako? Lukale ndani kusagha iili mumwojo ghuako? Nuvasiangile avanhu, loli, unsyiangile uNguluve.”
While it remained unsold, was not the land your own? And when sold, was it not at your own disposal? How is it that you have cherished this design in your heart? It is not to men you have told this lie, but to God."
5 Ulwakupulika amasio agha, Anania alyaghuile pasi nakufua baho. Uludwesi ulukome lukavisile vooni vanovalyapulike iliio.
Upon hearing these words Ananias fell down dead, and all who heard the words were awe-struck.
6 Avasoleka vakisa pavulongolo na vakam'bika mwenda ghwa kusilila vakamumia kunji name pikunsyiila.
The younger men, however, rose, and wrapping the body up, carried it out and buried it.
7 Ye fikilile ifivalilo fitatu ndiiki, un'dala ghwa mwene alingile n'kate, nalyakaguile nambe kuti kihumile kiiki.
About three hours had passed, when his wife came in, knowing nothing of what had happened.
8 U Petro Adam'bula, “Mbule, nde mughusisie umughunda ikighelelo ikio, “Akati eyo, ikighelelo ikio.
Peter at once questioned her. "Tell me," he said, "whether you sold the land for so much." "Yes," she replied, "for so much."
9 Pe uPetro akam'bula, “Lulindani piti muhongine kukunsyianga uMhepo ghwa Mutwa? Lola, amaghulu gha vano vasyilile umughosi ghuako ghalipamuliango, vikukupindagha napi kutwala kunji.”
"How was it," replied Peter, "that you two agreed to try an experiment upon the Spirit of the Lord? The men who have buried your husband are already at the door, and they will carry you out."
10 Na kalingi akaghua pa maghulu ghagha Petro, akafua, avasoleka vala vakisa vakamwagha afwile. Vakapinda vakatwala kunji, vaka syila piping nhu mughosi ghwa mwene.
Instantly she fell down dead at his feet, and the young men came in and found her dead. So they carried her out and buried her by her husband's side.
11 Uludwesi uluvaha lukisa kulukong'ano luoni, nakuvoni vano valyapulike aghast.
This incident struck terror into the whole Church, and into the hearts of all who heard of it.
12 Ifidegho finga ni sa kudegha inyinga sikale sihumila muvanhu kukilila mumavoko gha vasung'wa. Valyiale palikimo muvukumbi vwa Sulemani.
Many signs and marvels continued to be done among the people by the Apostles; and by common consent they all met in Solomon's Portico.
13 Loli nakwaliale umunhu ujunge Juno alyale ningufu kukolana navene; neiki anala, valyapelilue ulughinio ulukomeulukome name vanhu.
But none of the others dared to attach themselves to them. Yet the people held them in high honour--
14 Kange, aviitiki avinga valialevaliale vikwongelelavikwongelela Kwa Mutwa, ikipugha ikikome ikya vaghosi.
and more and more believers in the Lord joined them, including great numbers both of men and women--
15 Kange kiongo valiapindile avatamu ava mufikaja, napikuvaghonia mufitala na mufitengo ifya lutogo, ulwakuti u Petrol ikiling'ania, umughighi ghwa mwene ghukagule pikwika kuvanave.
so that they would even bring out their sick friends into the streets and lay them on light couches or mats, in order that when Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on one or other of them.
16 Apuo kange, ikipugha kya vanhu vinga valisile kuhuma mufikaja fioni fine fisiunguite Muyerusalemu, vakavaletagha avatamu vano vamemile imipepo imilamafu, vanilla valyasokile.
The inhabitants, too, of the towns in the neighbourhood of Jerusalem came in crowds, bringing sick persons and some who were harassed by foul spirits, and they were cured, one and all.
17 LoliLoli untekesi umbaha akimagha, navoni vano valyale palikimo nhumwene (vanovalyale kipuha kya Sadukayo); pevalyamemile ningera.
This roused the High Priest. He and all his party--the sect of the Sadducees--were filled with angry jealousy
18 Vakagholosia amavoko ghave kukuvakolo ava sung'ua napikuvavika munkate mundinde ijavoni.
and laid hands upon the Apostles, and put them into the public jail.
19 Mumasiki gha pakilo unyamola ghwa Mutwa akadindula amaliango gha ndinde akavalongosia kunji name piti,
But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said,
20 “Lutagha, munyumba imbaha inyimike ijakufunyila na pikuvavula avanhu amasio ghoni agha vuumi uuvu.”
"Go and stand in the Temple, and go on proclaiming to the people all this Message of Life."
21 Ye vapulike iili, vakingilagha munyumba imbaha inyimike ijakufunyila unsiki uwakuhenga na kuvavulanisia. Loli untekesi umbaha alisile navo voni vano alyale navope, nakukemela ikipugha kya vahighi voni palikimo na vaghogholo voni ava vanhu va Israeli pe akavomora kundinde piti vavalete avasung'ua.
Having received that command they went into the Temple, just before daybreak, and began to teach: So when the High Priest and his party came, and had called together the Sanhedrin as well as all the Elders of the descendants of Israel, they sent to the jail to fetch the Apostles.
22 LoliLoli avavombiavavombi vanovalyalutile, nava kavagha mundinde, valyagomuke na kuhumia immoral,
But the officers went and could not find them in the prison. So they came back and brought word,
23 “Tujivuene indinde jidindilue vunono kange jilivunono, navavaloleli vimile palilyango, lol panotuvele tudindula, natubwene munhu munkate.”
saying, "The jail we found quite safely locked, and the warders were on guard at the doors, but upon going in we found no one there."
24 Nike unsikari umbaha ughwa nyumba imbaha inyimike ijakufunyila navatekesi avavaha yevapulike amasio agha, pe vakavavakava ni nganingani imbaha vwimila vwa avuo vakatisagha luvandani mu isii.
When the Commander of the Temple Guards and the High Priests heard this statement, they were utterly at a loss with regard to it, wondering what would happen next.
25 Loli jumonga akisa napikuvavula, “Avanhu vano mukavavikile mhundinde vimile munyumba imbaha ijakufunyila vikuvavulanisia avanhu.”
And some one came and brought them word, saying, "The men you put in prison are actually in the Temple, standing there, teaching the people."
26 Apuo unsikari umbaha akaluta palikimo navavombi, pe akavaleta, navakavavombela ulutalamu, ulwakuva vakavoghopagha avanhu vale vikuvatova na mavue.
Upon this the Commander went with the officers, and brought the Apostles; but without using violence; for they were afraid of being stoned by the people.
27 Ye vavaletile, vakavavika pavulongolo pavahighi. Untekesi umbaha akavaposia
So they brought them and made them stand in front of the Sanhedrin. And then the High Priest questioned them.
28 akati, “Tukavavulile mulekaghe pivulanisia mulitavua iili, mujigha mujimemisie iYerusalemu ni m'bulanisio sinhu, munoghelua kuleta idanda ja munhu uju kulyusue.”
"We strictly forbad you to teach in that name--did we not?" he said. "And see, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and are trying to make us responsible for that man's death!"
29 Loli uPetro na vasunng'ua vakamula, “Lunoghile kukumwitika uNguluve kejeje avanhu.
Peter and the other Apostles replied, "We must obey God rather than man.
30 Nguluve ghwa vaNata viitu alyansusisie uYesu, Juno mulyam'bundile napikunkomelela pakpiki.
The God of our forefathers has raised Jesus to life, whom you crucified and put to death.
31 U Nguluve alyamwimike muluvoko lwamwene ulwa ndio, alyam'biikile kuvam'baha kange mbangi, kuhumia ululuto kwa Israel, nulusaghilo lwavuhosi.
God has exalted Him to His right hand as Chief Leader and as Saviour, to give Israel repentance and forgiveness of sins.
32 Usue tulivolesi va isio nhu Mhepo Mwimike, juno u Nguluve akantavwile kuvano vikumwitika.”
And we--and the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him--are witnesses as to these things."
33 Avahighi va baraza ye vapulike isio, vakakolua ni ng'alasi vakalondagha kukuvabuda avasung'ua.
Infuriated at getting this answer, they were disposed to kill the Apostles.
34 Loli uFarisayo Juno akatambulivuagha Gamalieli, um'bulanesi ghwa ndaghilo, alyale ikwoghopua navanhu voni, akiima na pikuvavula avasung'wa vavahumie kunji nsinki n'debe.
But a Pharisee of the name of Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law, held in honour by all the people, rose from his seat and requested that they should be sent outside the court for a few minutes.
35 Pe akavavula, “Vaghosi va Israeli mulolelelaghe kiongo nakino mulonda pikuvavombela avanhu ava.
"Israelites," he said, "be careful what you are about to do in dealing with these men.
36 Ulwakuva, unsiki ghunoghulyakilile, Theuda akima na pikughinia kuva munhu mbuha ni kipugha kya vaanhu, vino valyule ifilundo fine valyam'bingilile. Alyabudilue, vooni vino valya mwitike vakapalasana na kusovanika.
Years ago Theudas appeared, professing to be a person of importance, and a body of men, some four hundred in number, joined him. He was killed, and all his followers were dispersed and annihilated.
37 Ye akilile umunhu ujuo, uYudauYuda mu Galilaya, alyimile ifighono ifya kulembua, akavakwesa avaanhu viinga vakam'bingilila. Ghwope vulevule alyasovile voni vano vakamwitika valyapalasine.
After him, at the time of the Census, came Judas, the Galilaean, and was the leader in a revolt. He too perished, and all his followers were scattered.
38 Lino nikuvavula, mughelaghe name vaanhu ava muvaleke veene, ulwakuva, nave uvutavike uvu nambe imbombo iji ja vaanhu jitaghua.
And now I tell you to hold aloof from these men and leave them alone--for if this scheme or work is of human origin, it will come to nothing.
39 Loli nave ja Nguluve namungaghele pikuvasigha; mvaghile pikujagha mulua nhu Nguluve.” pe, vakamwitika amasio gha mwene.
But if it is really from God, you will be powerless to put them down--lest perhaps you find yourselves to be actually fighting against God."
40 Kange, akavakemela avasung'ua munkate pepe akavakopa na kukuvavula valajovelagha mulitavua lya Yes, pe vakavalekagha valutaghe kuvanave.
His advice carried conviction. So they called the Apostles in, and--after flogging them--ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and then let them go.
41 Valyavukile pavulongolo pavuhighipavuhighi vahovuike ulyakuva vavalilivue kuuti vanoghile kupumuka na kubedua vwimila ilitavua ilio.
They, therefore, left the Sanhedrin and went their way, rejoicing that they had been deemed worthy to suffer disgrace on behalf of the NAME.
42 Lino, ifighono fioni, munkate munyumba imbaha inyimike ijakufunyila na kuhuma inyumba iji kange iji valyajighe vivulanisia papiikun'dalikila u Yesu kuti ghwe Messiah.
But they did not desist from teaching every day, in the Temple or in private houses, and telling the Good News about Jesus, the Christ.
