< Acts 5 >

1 But a certain man named Hananiah, with Shappirah his wife, sold a possession,
Muntu yumu yawamshema Ananiya na mdala gwakuwi Safira wawuziti lirambu lyawu viravi.
2 and kept back part of the price, his wife also being aware of it, then brought a certain part and laid it at the emissaries’ feet.
Kumbiti, mdala gwakuwi pakawera kavimana, Ananiya kalitulila seemu ya mpiya zyakazipatiti na seemu imonga ilii kawayupiti wantumintumi.
3 But Peter said, “Hananiah, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back part of the price of the land?
Su, Peteru kamkosiyiti, “Ananiya, mbona shetani kingira mmoyu mwaku na kukutenda gumzyangi Rohu Mnanagala kwa kulitulira seemu ya mpiya zagupatiti kulawilirana na lilambu lilii?
4 While you kept it, didn’t it remain your own? After it was sold, wasn’t it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You haven’t lied to men, but to God.”
Pamberi pa kuliwuza liweriti lyaku na paguliwuziti kala, isigala mpiya azi ziweriti zaku guzitumii ntambu yagufira. Toziya gaa, gwamuwiti mmoyu mwaku kutenda shitwatira sha ntambu ayi? Gumzyanga ndiri muntu, Gumzyanga Mlungu!”
5 Hananiah, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard these things.
Ananiya, pakapikaniriti aga kaguwa pasi, kahowa. Wantu woseri wapikiniriti shisoweru sha lilawiru ali watiriti nentu.
6 The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.
Wandemba wasoka, wayigibikira njimba yakuwi, wamlaviya kunja, wamsira.
7 About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
Pa shipindi sha masaa matatu hangu, mdala gwakuwi, pota kuvimana shitwatira shilawiriti, kingira mngati amu.
8 Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” She said, “Yes, for so much.”
Peteru kamgambira, “Gung'ambiri! Hashi, shiyasi ashi sha mpiya ndo shampatiti kwa kuwuza lirambu lilii?” Yomberi kankula, “Yina, ndo sheni ashi”
9 But Peter asked her, “How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”
Yomberi Peteru kamgambira, “Mbona mtenda mpangu kumjera Rohu gwa Mtuwa? Gupikiniri! Walii wantu wagenditi kumusira mpalu gwaku, vinu wapanu pamlyangu na wankukutola gwenga viraa.”
10 She fell down immediately at his feet and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.
Vumu Safila kaguwa kulongolu kwa magulu ga Peteru, kahowa. Wandemba walii pawingiriti, wamwoniti kahowa kala, hangu wamlaviya kunja, wamsira pakwegera na mpalu gwakuwi.
11 Great fear came on the whole assembly, and on all who heard these things.
Shipinga shoseri sha wantu yawamjimira Yesu pamuhera na woseri yawapikaniriti shisoweru sha vitwatira avi, watiriti nentu.
12 By the hands of the emissaries many signs and wonders were done amongst the people. They were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.
Wantumintumi watenditi mauzauza na makangashu gavuwa pakati pa wantu. Wawumini waweriti wankuliwona pamwera muukumbi wa Selemani.
13 None of the rest dared to join them; however, the people honoured them.
Muntu yoseri gwingi yakaweriti ndiri muumini kajeriti ndiri kuwera pamhera na womberi. Ata hangu, wantu wamonga yawawera ndiri na njimiru ayi wawazyuma.
14 More believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women.
Walanga ya wantu yawamjimiriti Mtuwa, wapalu na wadala, iyongerekiti.
15 They even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mattresses, so that as Peter came by, at least his shadow might overshadow some of them.
Toziya ayi, wantu waweriti wankuwajega walweli mnjira na kuwagonjeka pampindi pa shitanda na mikeka su Peteru pakapita, tembera shivuni shakuwi shiwashinkuli wamu wawu.
16 The multitude also came together from the cities around Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits; and they were all healed.
Wantu wavuwa wasokiti kulawa mulushi za kumbekumbeku za Yerusalemu, wankuwajega walweli wawu na walii yawawera na shamshera wadoda na womberi woseri waponiziwa.
17 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
Shakapanu mtambika mkulu na wayaguwi yawaweriti pamuhera na shipinga sha Masadukayu, wawera na weya.
18 and laid hands on the emissaries, then put them in public custody.
Su, wawatawa ntumintumi, na kuwajega mngati mnumba nkulu ya shibetubetu.
19 But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out and said,
Kumbiti pashiru ntumintumi gwa kumpindi gwa Mtuwa kayivuguliti milyangu ya shibetubetu, kawalaviya kunja, kawagambira,
20 “Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.”
“Mgendi mkagoloki Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu na kuwagambira wantu kila shintu kuusu makaliru aga gasyayi.”
21 When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak and taught. But the high priest and those who were with him came and called the council together, with all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
Wantumintumi wajimiriti, wingira Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu mandawira putiputi, wanja kufunda. Mtambika mkulu na wayaguwi pawasokiti, washemiti mkutanu gwa shizyungu shikulu, ndo shipinga sha wazewi wa Wayawudi, shakapanu wawatuma wantu mushibetubetu wawajegi wantumintumi walii.
22 But the officers who came didn’t find them in the prison. They returned and reported,
Kumbiti wakulu awa pawasokiti aku wawawona ndiri mshibetubetu mlii. Hangu wawuyiti, wawagambira mumkutanu,
23 “We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside!”
Pawatakula, “Tuwoniti shibetubetu shitatwa kila uwega na walolera wankulolera milyangu. Kumbiti patuvuguliti tumwona ndiri muntu yoseri mngati.”
24 Now when the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were very perplexed about them and what might become of this.
Mkulu gwa walolera wa numba nkulu ya Mlungu na watambika wakulu pawapikaniriti shisoweru ashi wawera na lyoga, wavimana ndiri gawawapatiti.
25 One came and told them, “Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people.”
Kiza muntu yumu, kawagambira, “wantu walii yamuwatatiriti mshibetubetu, vinu wamunumba nkulu ya Mlungu, wankufunda wantu.”
26 Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.
Panu mkulu gwa walolera wa numba nkulu ya Mlungu pamwera na wantu wakuwi wagenditi mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu, kawajega. Kumbiti wawakamula ndiri kwa likakala, toziya watiriti handa wantu mewawagumi mabuwi.
27 When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them,
Su wawajega, wawagolisiya kulongolu kushizyungu, Mtambika Mkulu kawagambira,
28 saying, “Didn’t we strictly command you not to teach in this name? Behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood on us.”
“Tuwaberiti paweru kufunda kwa litawu lya muntu ayu, vinu mweneza mafunda genu poseri Muyerusalemu na mupanga kututulira lawama ya kuhowa kwa muntu ayu.”
29 But Peter and the emissaries answered, “We must obey God rather than men.
Panu Peteru, kiwiti pamwera na walii ntumintumi wamonga, kankula, “Mpaka tumjimiri Mlungu, muntu ndiri.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Yeshua, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.
Mlungu gwa mbuyi gwetu kamzyukisiyiti Yesu pa mwenga kumlaga kwa kumpingika mlupingika.
31 God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.
Ayu ndomweni ulii yakakwisitwi na Mlungu mpaka uwega wakuwi wa mliwu, kawera mlongoziya na Mlopoziya su katendi wantu wa Israeli waleki vidoda, wapati kulekiziwa vidoda vyawu.
32 We are his witnesses of these things; and so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”
Twenga ndo wakapitawu wa lilawiru ali, yomberi Rohu Mnanagala ndo yomberi Mlungu kawayupa walii wawamjimira, wankupitaulira vira lilawiru ali.”
33 But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were determined to kill them.
Wajumbi woseri wa shizyunga shilii pawapikaniriti aga, waweriti na maya, ata waamuwa kuwalaga.
34 But one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the Torah, honoured by all the people, and commanded to put the emissaries out for a little while.
Kumbiti Mfalisayu yumu yawamshema Gamalieli mweni kaweriti mfunda gwa Malagaliru na yakapananitwi ligoya nentu kulongolu kwa wantu woseri, kagolokiti kulongolu kushizyungu kulii, kafiriti ntumintumi walii walaviwi kunja katepu.
35 He said to them, “You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do.
Shakapanu kawagambira wajumbi walii wa shizyungu, “Walushi lwa Israeli, shondi pamberi pa kutenda ashi shamfira kuwatenda wantu awa!
36 For before these days Todah rose up, making himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves. He was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed and came to nothing.
Makashu shididini, kulawiriti muntu yumu litawu lyakuwi Teuda, kalitakulira kuwera muntu gwa mana na wantu pakwegera na miya mhanu walijegiti pamhera na yomberi, kumbiti wamlagiti, shakapanu wandundami wakuwi woseri wapalanganika na shipinga shakuwi shifuwa.
37 After this man, Judah of Galilee rose up in the days of the enrolment, and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.
Kayi, shakapanu, shipindi shilii sha kuwalangwa wantu, kalawiriti Yuda gwa Galilaya. Ayu na yomberi kwawakwegiti wantu wamfata, Kumbiti na yomberi wamlagiti, na wandundami wakuwi wapalanganikiti.
38 Now I tell you, withdraw from these men and leave them alone. For if this counsel or this work is of men, it will be overthrown.
Na vinu viraa neni nuwagambira kotukuwatendera shintu shoseri wantu awa, muwalekiziyi! Toziya, payiwera shitendu ashi shawu shanjishwa na muntu, hashiwuki sheni.
39 But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow it, and you would be found even to be fighting against God!”
Kumbiti handa shanjishwa na Mlungu, hera ndiri handa hapeni muwezi kuwakanga, su hamliwoni mmulema Mlungu.”
40 They agreed with him. Summoning the emissaries, they beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Yeshua, and let them go.
Su wawashema ntumintumi walii, waamuwa wasyatagwi viboku na kuwaberiziya nawafunda kayi kwa litawu lya Yesu, shakapanu wawaleka wagendi zawu.
41 They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonour for Yeshua’s name.
Su, ntumintumi walawa kunja kushizyungu pawamema nemeru, toziya wafiruwiti kusoniziwa kwajili ya litawu lya Yesu.
42 Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming Yeshua, the Messiah.
Mnumba nkulu ya Mlungu na ukaya kwa wantu, womberi wendereyiti kila lishaka kufunda na kubwera Shisoweru Shiwagira sha Yesu kuwera ndo Kristu.
