Acts 4
1 Piela ayi Yowani bu baba yoluka kuidi batu, buna vatotuka banganga Nzambi, pfumu yi batu baba sunganga Nzo Nzambi ayi Basaduki;
As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them,
2 bamona phiti mu ntima mu diambu di bamvuala balonga batu ayi zisamuna mfulukulu mu bafua mu nzila yi Yesu.
being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
3 Buna baba kanga. Vayi bu yiba thangu masika, baba tula mu nloko nate mu lumbu kilanda.
They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening.
4 Vayi bawombo bawilukila mu batu bobo bawa malongi mawu. Thalu yi batu yibuelama nduka-nduka mili tanu.
But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.
5 Muaki yiyiza ba ti mu lumbu kilanda, bapfumu ziawu, bakulutu bawu ba batu ayi minsoniki miawu mi mina bakutakana ku Yelusalemi.
It happened in the morning, that their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem.
6 Kuna kuba Ana, Pfumu yi banganga Nzambi, Kayife, Yowani, Alasendele ayi bawombo bankaka baba mu nkuna wu pfumu yi banganga Nzambi.
Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest.
7 Batula Piela ayi Yowani va ntualꞌawu, bosi baba yuvula: —Mu lulendo mbi voti mu dizina di nani luvangidi diambu diadi e?
When they had stood them in the middle of them, they inquired, "By what power, or in what name, have you done this?"
8 Buna Piela, bu kaba wuwala mu Pheve Yinlongo, wuba vutudila: —A bapfumu zi batu; bakulutu ba Iseli!
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people, and elders,
9 Enati lumbu kiaki tueka sambusu mu diambu di mavanga mamboti momo mavangimini kuidi mutu wubela ayi mu diambu di zaba buevi kabelukididi,
if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed,
10 buna bika luzaba beno boso ayi beno batu boso ba Iseli ti mu dizina di Yesu Klisto muisi Nazaleti. Yesu diodi beno lubanda va dikulusi, diodi Nzambi kafulukisa mu bafua. Mu dizina diodi mutu wawu kadidi va tualꞌeno vava ayi nitu yi buvini.
be it known to you all, and to all the children of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in him does this man stand here before you whole.
11 Bila niandi, ditadi dilozo kuidi beno mintungi, diyikidi ditadi di mfunu va fuma.
This one is the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.
12 Phulusu luisi ko mu mutu wunkaka; bila va nza yimvimba kuisi ko dizina dinkaka divanu kuidi batu diodi tufueti vukila.
And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among people by which we must be saved."
13 Bu bamona bukhafi bu Piela ayi bu Yowani, ayi, bu babakula ti Piela ayi Yowani basia ba balonguka ko ayi badi batu baphamba; buna basimina buwombo. Bazaba ti bawu baba kibanga ayi Yesu.
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they were amazed. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.
14 Bu bamona mutu wowo wubelusu wuba yawu vana, buna basia baka ko diambu di findisila ziphaka.
Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
15 Baba vana lutumunu lu totuka ku nganda yi lukutukunu lu minyadi. Buna bayuvasana bawu na bawu:
But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
16 —A mambu mbi tufueti vangila batu baba e? Bila kuidi batu boso bankalanga mu Yelusalemi, didi dikiedika ti batu bobo bavengi kumu kinneni ayi tulendi ditunuka ko.
saying, "What should we do with 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 cannot deny it.
17 Vayi muingi nsamu beni wubika luta tembakana muangana batu, bika tuba kandika muingi babika buela yolukila mu dizina diodi buba kuidi nani.
But so this does not spread any further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they do not speak to anyone in this name."
18 Bosi bu baba tumisa, baba kandika babika buela yolukila voti buela longila mu dizina di Yesu.
They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
19 Vayi Piela ayi Yowani baba vutudila: —Zenganu beno veka: didi difuana va ntuala Nzambi mu kuluwila voti mu wila Nzambi e?
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 Bila beto tulendi vonga ko yolukila mambu momo tumona ayi momo tuwa!
for we cannot help telling the things which we saw and heard."
21 Bu babuela ku batitisa diaka, baba yekula bila basi mona ko buevi balenda kuba vanina thumbudulu. Bila batu boso bakembisa Nzambi mu diambu di kumu kioki kivangama.
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 Bila mutu wowo wuvangulu kumu kioki wuba viokila tezo makumaya ma mimvu.
For the man on whom this miracle of healing was performed was more than forty years old.
23 Bu babayekula, Piela ayi Yowani bayenda bata bakundi bawu ayi baba kamba mambu moso mabakamba bapfumu zi zinganga Nzambi ayi bakulutu ba batu.
Being let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
24 Bu bawa mambu momo, va kimosi bawu boso batumbula mbembo mu sambila Nzambi: —Pfumu ngeyo wuvanga Diyilu ayi ntoto, mbu ayi bibioso bidi muna;
When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, "Lord, you made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them.
25 ngeyo wuyolukila mu Pheve Yinlongo mu munu wu nkulu eto Davidi, kisadi kiaku. A bila mbi makanda mafuemini e? Bila mbi batu balembo yindudila mambu makambulu fuana e?
You said through the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David your servant: 'Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot in vain?
26 Mintinu mi ntoto mitelama bapfumu zikutikini mu nuanisa Pfumu ayi Klisto andi.
The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take council together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.'
27 Bila mu divula diadi ntinu Elode ayi Ponse-Pilatu, Bapakanu ayi basi Iseli bawizini muingi banuanisa Yesu, kisadi kiaku kinlongo, kioki wubieka,
"For truly, in this city against your holy servant, Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the non-Jews and the people of Israel, were gathered together
28 mu diambu di vanga mambu moso momo wuyindula tona thama mu luzolo ayi mu lulendo luaku.
to do whatever your hand and your council foreordained to happen.
29 Vayi buabu, Pfumu, tala bu balembo tutitisila ayi vana bisadi biaku bukhafi bu longila mambu maku.
Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,
30 Bika wunonumuna koko kuaku mu diambu di belusa ayi mu diambu dibikumu ayi mambu manneni mavangama mu dizina di Yesu, kisadi kiaku kinlongo.
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 Bu bamanisa sambila, buangu kioki ki bakutikinina kinikukaayi baboso bawala mu Pheve Yinlongo. Balonga mambu ma Nzambi mu bukhafi.
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 Nkangu woso wu batu bobo bawilukila baba ntima wumosi ayi pheve yimosi. Kusia ba ko mutu wubanzila ti bima biandi biba mu diambu diandi veka; vayi bina bioso biba bi kithuadi.
And the full number 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 Mu lulendo lungolo, bamvuala batelimina mfulukulu yi Pfumu Yesu kimbangi ayi nlemvo wuwombo wumonika mu bawu boso.
With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.
34 Kadi mutu wumosi mu bawu kasia ba wusukama ko. Bila batu boso baba zitsola voti zinzo bazisumbisa
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 ayi banata kuidi bamvuala thalu yi zimbongo yoyo basumbisila bima biawu. Bamvuala baba kabulanga ziawu kuidi kadika mutu boso bubela minkiza mi kadika mutu.
and put them at the apostles' feet, and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.
36 Buna Zozefi, wubieko kuidi bamvuala “Balinabasi” tsundu dizina beni “muana mbombolo” wuba muisi sanga ki Sipeli mu dikanda di Levi.
Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is translated, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus by birth,
37 Niandi mamvandi wusumbisa tsolꞌandi, wunata zimbongo ayi wuvana ziawu kuidi bamvuala.
having a field, sold it, and brought the money and put it at the apostles' feet.
