Acts 5
1 Vayi mutu wumosi dizina diandi Anania, va kimosi ayi nketoꞌandi Safila basumbisa tsolꞌawu.
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
2 Vayi bu kawizana ayi nketoꞌandi, Anania wusueka ndambu yi zimbongo ziozi kasumbisila tsola. Bosi wunata ndambu yinkaka kuidi bamvuala.
And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
3 Piela wunkamba: —A Anania! Bila mbi Satana kawadidi mu ntimꞌaku e? Vunini Pheve Yinlongo, suekidi ndambu yi zimbongo ziozi sumbisidi tsolꞌaku e?
But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
4 Tuamina wusumbisa tsola beni, yisi ba yaku veka ko e? Bosi ku nzimunina bu wumeni kuyisumbisa, wulendi sadila zimbongo beni ko boso buzodidi e? Buna buevi bakidi lukanu luvangila diambu di phila yayi e? Bika sia ti batu vunini vayi Nzambi vunini!
Whiles it remained, was it not your own? and after it was sold, was it not in your own power? why have you conceived this thing in your heart? you have not lied to men, but to God.
5 Anania bu kamana wa mambu mama, wubua va tsi ayi wufua. Batu boso bobo bawa diambu beni bamona boma.
And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
6 Matoko mayiza zinga mvumbi, manata yawu ku nganda bosi mayenda kuyizika.
And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
7 Nduka-nduka zithangu zitatu zivioka bosi nketoꞌandi wuyiza kota, mukambu zaba mambu mavioka.
And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
8 Piela wunyuvula: —Wutsudikisa: yawu yoyi thalu lusumbisididi tsolꞌeno e? Niandi wumvutudila: —Mu thalu yoyi kaka!
And Peter answered to her, Tell me whether you sold the land for so much? And she said, Yes, for so much.
9 Bosi Piela wunkamba: —A bila mbi luwizinini mu diambu di tota Pheve yi Pfumu e? Tala batu bobo babedi ku zika bakala diaku badi va muelo ayi ngeyo mamvaku, beka ku nata.
Then Peter said to her, How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried your husband are at the door, and shall carry you out.
10 Muna thangu yina wubua va malu ma Piela ayi wufua. Matoko bu mavutuka mammona wufua. Mannata ayi manzika vana ndambu bakala diandi.
Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.
11 Mambu mama mamonisa basi dibundu tsisi yiwombo ayi batu boso bobo bawa mambu beni.
And great fear came on all the church, and on as many as heard these things.
12 Bamvuala zivanga bikumu ayi bidimbu biwombo va khatitsika batu. Babo baba kifu kikutakananga ku velanda yi Solomo.
And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders worked among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.
13 Kadi mutu wunkaka kasia fubana yawu ko, muaki batu baba kuba niemisanga ngolo.
And of the rest dared no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.
14 Vayi babakala ayi baketo bawombo bawilukila Pfumu ayi babuelama.
And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)
15 Buna batu baba natina bambevo bawombo mu ziphambu zi zinzila; bazitula va zikhuala ayi mu biphoyi muingi Piela bu kamvioka, kitsuisula kiandi kibua vadi bambevo bankaka.
So that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.
16 Batu bawombo baba kuizanga, baba mu mavula mafikimini Yelusalemi; banata bambevo ziawu ayi banata batu baba yamusu kuidi ziphevi zimbimbi. Baboso babeluka.
There came also a multitude out of the cities round about to Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
17 Pfumu yi zinganga Nzambi ayi batu bandi boso va kimosi ayi basi dikabu di Basaduki; bamona kikhenene
Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees, ) and were filled with indignation,
18 bakanga bamvuala ayi babakotisa mu nloko wunneni.
And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
19 Vayi mbasi yi Pfumu yiyiza va builu, yizibula mielo mi nloko ayi yitotula bamvuala,
But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,
20 buna yiba kamba: —Yendanu ku Nzo Nzambi, lulonga batu malongi ma luzingu lualu.
Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
21 Bu bawa bobo, mu nsuka-nsuka bayenda ku nzo Nzambi, batona longa! Pfumu yi zinganga Nzambi ayi batu bandi batumisa batu ba lukutukunu lu minyadi ayi bakulutu boso ba Iseli. Buna batuma batu benda landi bamvuala mu nloko.
And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
22 Vayi minsungi bu miyenda tula kuna nloko, misia bamona ko mu nloko. Mivutuka ayi mituba:
But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and told,
23 —Tuenda bata nloko widi wukangama ayi minsungi mi nloko buna mitelimini va mielo. Vayi bu tuzibudi kadi mutu wumosi tuisi mona ko!
Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.
24 Thangu pfumu yi minsungi mi Nzo Nzambi ayi pfumu yi zinganga Nzambi bawa mambu mama, basia zaba ko mbi bivanga. Bayindula kani buevi bu kuiza sukila Nsamu wawu.
Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them to what this would grow.
25 Vana vawu mutu wumosi wuyiza ku bakamba: —Batu bobo lukotisa mu nloko badi muna Nzo Nzambi, balembo longi!
Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
26 Pfumu yi minsungi mi Nzo Nzambi wuyenda va kimosi ayi masodi mandi kuna nzo Nzambi. Wunata bamvuala ku lukutukunu lu minyadi, bika sia ti mu kingolo bila boma baba mona mu diambu di batu bedi kuba zuba matadi.
Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.
27 Bu baba nata, baba tula va ntuala lukutukunu lu monyadi bosi Pfumu yi zinganga Nzambi wuba yuvula:
And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,
28 —Tulukandika lubika buela longilanga mu dizina di mutu wuna. Vayi tala malongi meno mameni tembakana mu Yelusalemi dioso, bosi lutidi beto tunata nkanu wu lufua lu mutu wuna e?
Saying, Did not we straightly command you that you should not teach in this name? and, behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood on us.
29 Vayi Piela ayi bamvuala bavutula: —Bulutidi mboti mu tumukina Nzambi vayi bika batu.
Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
30 Nzambi yi bakulu beto wufulukisa Yesu beni mu bafua. Yesu diodi luvondisa bu lumbanda va nti.
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you slew and hanged on a tree.
31 Vayi Nzambi wunnangika bu kamvuandisa va koko kuandi ku lubakala banga Pfumu ayi Mvulusi mu diambu di basi Iseli babalula mavanga ayi balemvokolo mu masumu.
Him has God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
32 Beto tuidi bambangi ba mambu mama va kimosi ayi Pheve Yinlongo yoyi Nzambi kavana kuidi batu beti kuntumimina.
And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God has given to them that obey him.
33 Vayi bawu bu bawa mambu momo, bafuema ngolo; bawizana mu diambu di baba vondisa.
When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.
34 Vayi mfalisi wumosi mu dikabu di lukutukunu lu minyadi, dizina diandi Ngamalieli, wuba nlongi wu Mina; wuba kinzukungu kuidi batu boso, wutelama va khatitsika lukutukunu minyadi; wuvana lutumunu batotula bamvuala ku nganda mu ndambu thangu.
Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;
35 Buna wuba kamba: —A beno basi Iseli, lulubuka mu diambu di batu baba ayi talanu mambu mbi lutidi kuba vangila.
And said to them, You men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do as touching these men.
36 Bila mu bilumbu kuandi bibedi, mutu wumosi wutotuka, dizina diandi Tewudasi wuzola kukimonisa mutu wu minsua. Nduka-nduka zikhama ziya zi batu banlandakana. Vayi bu kavondo, buna batu bandi boso baba kuntumukinanga basasukusu. Dingumba diandi disia buela wakakana ko.
For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nothing.
37 Niandi bu kavioka, mu thangu yiba disasama, Yuda muisi Ngalili wutotuka. Niandi mamvandi wuvitumuna batu bawombo mu diambu batotula khindu, vayi mamvandi wufua ayi batu baba kuntumukinanga bamana sasukusu.
After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
38 Buabu ndieka ku lukamba: Bikanu buela kota mambu ma batu baba ayi luba yekula benda kuawu; bila enati lukanu lualu votimavanga mama madi ma batu buna mela fua.
And now I say to you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nothing:
39 Vayi enati madi mavanga ma Nzambi buna lulendi nunga ku mavonda ko ayi lukeba luedi nuanisa Nzambi.
But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow it; lest haply you be found even to fight against God.
40 Batu boso bakikinina ndubu andi. Bu batumisa bamvuala; baba kandika babika buela yolukila dizina di Yesu. Bu bamana kuba tuta khuba; bosi baba yekula.
And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
41 Bawu batotuka va ntuala lukutukunu lu minyadi mu khini bila bamonika ti bafueni mona ziphasi mu diambu di dizina di Yesu.
And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
42 Bosi kadika lumbu mu nzo Nzambi ayi mu zinzo, bamvuala basia vonga ko mu longa ayi mu yamikisa Yesu banga Klisto.
And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
