Mitendo 5
1 Lyahanu mukwame zumwi yo sumpwa Ananiyasi, ni Safira mwihyabwe, babauzi imbali ye zintu zabo,
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
2 Nabika imbali imwi yeshiliñi ibauzwa (mwihyabwe naye avakwizi), ni kuka leta onse avashali kumatende ava Apositola.
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 Linu Pitorosi nati, “Ananiyasi, cinzi Satani hezula munkulo yako ku chenga Luhuho lu Jolola kupata imwi isheleñi ya muulo wa chisi chako?
But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back [part] of the price of the land?
4 Hachisena chiveni kuwuziwa, kana chivali njichako? Linu hachi mana kuuziwa, kana chivasina muyediso yako? uva zezete vuti chezi zintu munkulo yako?” Kana uva chengi muntu, kono kwa Ireeza.
Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
5 Mu kuzuwa aa maanzwi, Ananiyasi nawa hansi niku huza lwa ma manimani. Kutiya kukando nikwezila vonse vava zuwi izo zintu.
And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
6 Baswisu niveza kumu vungila mwi sila, ni kumu nyamuna ni kukamuunga.
And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried [him] out, and buried [him].
7 Haku hita inhola zotatwe, mwihyabwe cheza kwinjira, nasezivite chiva tendahali.
And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
8 Pitolosi nacho kwali, “Uni wambile kuti inkanda yenu mwa iwulisa cheyi inteko? “Nati “ee, cheyi inteko.”
And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
9 Linu Pitolosi nati kwali, “Muva zuminzani vule ku lika luhuho lwa Simwine? Lole, “Matende a vaka unga mwihyenu ena hamulyango, imi njete vakunyamune nawe.”
Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband [are] at the door, and shall carry thee out.
10 Haho vulyo chawira hansi ha matende akwe, niku huza lwa mamanimani, imi vaswisu havenjira nikumu wana ufwile; chiva munyamuna, nikuka muunga hembali ni mwihyabwe.
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 Kutiya kukando nikweza he nkereke yonse, ni heulu lya vonse vava zuwi izi zintu.
And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.
12 Imboniso zingi ni makazo zivali ku chitahala mukati ka vantu cha mayanza avapositola. Vavena vonse mu malibera a Salumoni.
And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.
13 Imi kakwina niyava ku wola ku lipapata kuli kopanya navo; nikuva vulyo, vava ku tembwa ahulu ku vantu.
And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.
14 Nikuva vulyo balumeri vangi vavakusi wera kwa Simwine, ikunga lya bakwame ni vaanakazi,
And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)
15 chovulyo vava ku letanga va lwala mumigwagwa niku va lazika ha mimbeta ni muzipura, kuti Pitolosi cha hita, munzunde wakwe mu uwole ku wila havamwi vavo.
Insomuch 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 Nikweza hamwina impalo inkando ya vantu bazwa kumatoropo mwa Jerusalema, kuleta valwala navo vava vulumukiswa inhuho zisa jololi, imi vonse vava hozwa.
There came also a multitude [out] of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
17 Kono mupurisita yo hanzi na ziimana, nivonse vavena naye (chikwata chava Saduki); imi nive zula muna
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 Niva viika mayanza havapositola, ni ku va vika mu ntorongo ya vantu.
And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
19 Masiku Iñeloi lya Ireeza chilyeza kwi yalula milyango ye njorongo niku vazwisa hanze, ni kuvati.
But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,
20 Muyende, muka zime mwi tempere, niku wamba ku bantu vonse manzwi avuhalo.”
Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
21 Hava zuwa izi, nivenjira mwi tempere musihalizana niku ruta. Kono mupurisita yo hanzi cheza, navo vavena naye, niku supa inkuta hamwina, ni vonse bakulwana vavantu va Isiraere, ni kuva tumina kuntorongo kuka leeta vapositola.
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 Kono vakapaso vava yendi kana vavakava wani muntorongo, ni vaka vola ni kwiza ku viha,
But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned, and told,
23 “Twaka wana intorongo iyalitwe siinte ni ba ganteli ba zimene hamulyango, kono hatwa iyalula, kakwina itwa wana mukati.”
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 Linu muyendisi wa mwi tempere ni mupurisita mukulwana hava zuwa aa maanzwi, ciba ziyeleha chavo ni chiwola kuzwa mwateni.
Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.
25 Linu zumwi neza kuva wambila, “Vakwame vamu va vikite muntorongo vazimeene mwi tempere niva ruta vaantu.”
Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
26 Linu muyendisi chayenda ni vakapaso, niku kavavoza, kono nikusena vulwisi, mukuti vava tite kuti vaantu pona chivava pwacoola cha mavwe.
Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.
27 Hava kava leta, chivava leta havusu vwe nkuta. Mupurisita yo hanzi nava vuzola impuzo,
And when they had brought them, they set [them] before the council: and the high priest asked them,
28 nacho, “Tumi ha mulandu wa kusa ruta mweli zina, imi, chimwe zuza Jerusalema ni ntuto zenu, niku tavera ku leta malaha ozu mukwame hetu.”
Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.
29 Kono Pitolosi ni vapositola nivetaba, “Tulukera ku kuteka Ireeza insinyi vaantu.
Then Peter and the [other] apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
30 Ireeza uveshetu ava kuzi Jesu, imuve hayi ni kumu hanzika hesamu.
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
31 Ireeza ava mukuzikizi kwi yanza lyakwe lya chilyo kuva mwaana' simwine ni muhazi, kuha kuliwamba zivi kwa Isiraere, niku kwatila zivi.
Him hath God exalted with his right hand [to be] a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
32 Tu mpaki zezi zintu, imi ni luhuho lu Jolola, ulo lwavahi kwavo vamu kuteka.”
And we are his witnesses of these things; and [so is] also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
33 Lyahanu inkuta hai zuwa izi. Vava vengi nikusaka kwi haya vaapositola.
When they heard [that], they were cut [to the heart], and took counsel to slay them.
34 Kono mufalisi yava kusupwa Gamaliele, muruti wa mulao, yava kukutekwa ku vantu vonse, chazima niku laera vaapositola ku zwila hanze kaninizana.
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 Linu chati kuvali, “Vakwame vaIsiraele, Mutwalize minahano kuchimusaka kutenda kwava vaantu.
And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.
36 Chenako ya kumasule, Teudiyasi avavuki nalibboka kuvaumwi, imi impalo yavakwame, valikana myanda yoone, nivenjila kwali. Nehaiwa, nivonse vavali kumu kuteka vava hasanywa ni kusa vachimwi.
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 nought.
37 Kuzwa kozu mukwame, Judasi wa Galileya navuka mumazuva achipalo nikuhindikisa vamwi vaantu mwisule lyaankwe. Naye chehaililwa, nivonse vakumu kuteka vava hasanywa.
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 Hanu ni mi wambila, muzwe kwava makwame, ni kuva siya vovona, ilikuti uwu muzezo kapa mutendo wa vaantu, muulyatililwe.
And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
39 Kono heba wa Ireeza, kete muwole ku u lyatilila, mu wola kuli wana kuti chi mu kwete mulwisa Ireeza.” Imi chiva susuwezwa.
But if it be of God, ye can not overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
40 Linu ni va supila vaapositola mukati, nikuva kavoola ni kuva hambiliza kusa kawamba mwi zina lya Jesu, ni vava siya kuti vayende.
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 Chiva siya inkuta niva tabuluhite mukuti vavavalilwe kuku nyandisizwa che Izina.
And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
42 Kuzwaho chezuva, mwi tempere ni chenzubo, ninzuvo, vava ku lutirire ni kutaza Jesu kuva Keresite.
And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
