Acts 5
1 There was, however, a man named Ananias, who, with his wife Sapphira, sold some property,
Ikabheje bhandu bhamo bhashemwaga a Anania na akongobhabho a Shapila nnepeila gubhaushilenje nngunda gwabhonji.
2 and, with her connivance, kept back some of the proceeds. He brought only a part and laid it at the Apostles’ feet.
Ikabheje, akuno bhaakongwe bhali bhamumanyi, Anania gubhaishiye ela ina na ina gubhapite kamuya kwa ashimitume.
3 “Ananias,” Peter exclaimed, “how is it that Satan has so taken possession of your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit, and kept back a part of the money paid for the land?
Bhai, a Petili gubhaabhushiye, “A Anania kwa nndi nshikunda Lishetani ampuganye ntima gwenu, kumuntembe Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo kwa iya ela ina impatile kwa usha nngunda gula?
4 While it was unsold, was not it your own? and after it was sold, was not the money at your own disposal? How did you come to think of such a thing? You have lied, not to men, but to God!”
Nkanabhe usha nngunda gula pugwaaliji gwenu, na nkausheje elayo puyaaliji yenu ya tendela shinkupinga. Igala kwa nndi mwashinkuganishiya muntima gwenu kutenda nnei? Bhai mwangantemba mundu, ikabhe bhumwatembile a Nnungu!”
5 As Ananias heard these words, he fell down and expired; and every one who heard of it was appalled.
A Anania bhakapilikaneje genego, gubhagwile pai gubhawile. Bhandunji bhowe bhakapilikananjeje ga jene nganijo gubhajogopenje kwa kaje.
6 The young men got up, and, winding the body in a sheet, carried it out and buried it.
Bhashanda gubhaikengenenje, niunishila maiti gala na gubhakopoyenje palanga, gubhapite kwaashikanga.
7 After an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
Gakapiteje malanga ga mashaa gatatu, bhaakongwe akuno bhakakugamanya gakoposhele, gubhajinjile nnyumba mubhalinginji asha Petili mula.
8 “Is it true,” Peter asked, addressing her, “that you sold your land for such a sum?” “Yes,” she answered, “we did.”
A Petili gubhaabhalanjile, “Mmalanjile! Bhuli, aino ela ino ni yowe impatilenje kwa usha nngunda gula?” A Shapila gubhaajangwile, “Elo, ni yenei.”
9 Then Peter said: “How did you come to agree to provoke the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The foot-steps of those who have buried your husband are at the door; and they will carry you out too.”
A Petili gubhaabhalanjile, “Igala nndi mmanganya kulagana kunninga Mbumu jwa Bhakulungwa? Nnole! Bhandunji bhapite kwashikanga ambuje bhenu, nnaino pubhalinginji pannangopo, shibhankopoyanje na mmwe palanga.”
10 Instantly Sapphira fell down at Peter’s feet and expired. On coming in, the young men found her dead; so they carried her out and buried her by her husband’s side.
Shangupe a Shapila gubhagwile pa makongono ga a Petili, gubhawile. Bhashanda bhala bhakajinjilanjeje gubhaaimenenje a Shapila bhawile, kwa nneyo gubhaakopoyenje palanga, gubhapite kwashikanga tome na ambuje bhabho.
11 The whole Church and all who heard of these events were appalled.
Gubhakwetenje lipamba bhandunji bhowe bha a Nnungu na bhowe bhapilikenenje jene nganijo.
12 Many signs and wonders continued to occur among the people, through the instrumentality of the Apostles, whose custom it was to meet all together in the Colonnade of Solomon;
Mitume bhatendaga tendanga ilapo yaigwinji kubhandu. Bhakwaakulupalilanga a Yeshu bhatendaga imananga pa lukumbi lwa a Shelemani.
13 but of the rest no one ventured to join them. On the other hand, the people were full of their praise,
Mundu jojowe akaliji munkumbi gwabhonji akalingaga kwiilunda. Nkali nneyo, bhandunji bhana bhatendaga kwaalumbililanga.
14 and still larger numbers, both of men and women, as they became believers in the Lord, were added to their number.
Nkali nneyo bhandunji bhaakulupalilangaga Bhakulungwa gubhapundilenje kujenjesheka bhanabhalume na bhanabhakongwe.
15 The consequence was that people would bring out their sick even into the streets, and lay them on mattresses and mats, in the hope that, as Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on some one of them.
Numbe bhandunji bhatendaga kwaapelekanga bhalwelenji mumpanda njindo bhaagonekenje muinanda bhana mmakai, nkupinga pushibhapitangane asha Petili kapela shiwilisho shaishilanje.
16 Besides this, the inhabitants of the towns round Jerusalem flocked into the city, bringing with them their sick and those who were troubled by foul spirits; and they were cured every one.
Bhandunji bhabhagwinji gubhaikengenenje kukopoka ilambo ipikene na ku Yelushalemu, bhalikwaajianabhonji bhalwelenji na bhaashikilwanga maoka na bhowe gubhalamiywenje.
17 At this the High Priest was roused to action, and he and all his supporters (who formed the party of the Sadducees), moved by jealousy,
Kungai, bhakulungwa bha bhaabhishila na bhandu bhabho bhalingiji munkumbi gwa Mashadukayo, gubhaabhonelenje lupimililo ashimitume bhala.
18 arrested the Apostles, and had them placed in custody.
Bhai, gubhaakamwilenje mitume bhala, gubhaugalilenje nnigelesha.
19 An angel of the Lord, however, opened the prison doors at night and led them out.
Ikabheje shilo malaika jwa kunnungu gwaugwile milango ja ligelesha, akwaakopoyangaga palanga gwabhabhalanjilenje,
20 “Go,” he said, “and stand in the Temple Courts, and tell the people the whole Message of this new Life.”
“Nnjendangane ku Likanisha nkaalugulilanje bhandunji malobhe gowe ga gumi gwa ambigu.”
21 When they heard this, they went at daybreak into the Temple Courts, and began to teach. The High Priest and his party, on their arrival, summoned the High Council, including all the leading men among the Israelites, and sent to the jail to fetch the Apostles.
Mitume gubhakundilenje, lyambape gubhapitengene ku Likanisha, gubhatandubhenje kujiganya. Bhakulungwa bha bhaabhishila na ajabhonji bhakaikanganeje, gubhashemilenje shitamo sha lukumbi lukulu na nkumbi gowe gwa bhanangulungwa bha Shiyaudi, gubhatumilenje bhandunji kuligelesha bhakaatolanje bhantenga bhala.
22 But, when the officers got there, they did not find them in the prison; so they returned and reported that,
Ikabheje bhalinda bhakaikanjeje kwekula bhangaaimananga nnigelesha mula. Gubhabhujilenje, kulugula kulukumbi kula kuti,
23 while they had found the goal barred securely and the guards posted at the doors, yet, on opening them, they had not found any one inside.
“Putuliimene ligelesha liugelwe ukoto na bhalinda bhajimingenenje mmilango. Ikabheje tukauguleje twangang'imana mundu jojowe nkati mula.”
24 When the Officer in charge at the Temple and the Chief Priests heard their story, they were perplexed about the Apostles and as to what all this would lead to.
Bhakulungwa bha bhalinda bha Likanisha na bhakulungwanji bha bhaabhishila bhakapilikananjeje genego gubhakwetenje lipamba, gangashimanya shaapatilenje.
25 Presently, however, some one came and told them, that the men whom they had put in prison were actually standing in the Temple Courts, teaching the people.
Gwaishe mundu jumo, gwabhalugulilenje, “Bhandunji bhumwaugalilenje nnigelesha bhala, nnaino mubhalinginji Nliekalu bhanakwajiganyanga bhandunji.”
26 On this, the Officer went with his men and fetched the Apostles — without using violence, for they were afraid of being stoned by the people —
Penepo bhakulungwa bha bhalinda bha Liekalu na bhalinda bhabho gubhapitengenenje ku Liekalu, gubhaatolilenje. Ikabheje bhangaakamulanga kwa mashili, pabha bhashinkwaajogopanga bhandunji bhanakomwanga maganga.
27 And then brought them before the Council. The High Priest demanded an explanation from them.
Bhai, gubhapelekenje ku lukumbi, bhakulungwa bha bhaabhishila gubhaabhushiyenje,
28 “We gave you strict orders,” he said, “not to teach in this Name. Yet you have actually flooded Jerusalem with your teaching, and you want to make us responsible for the death of this man.”
“Twangannimbiyanga kujiganya kwa lina lya bhene bhandubha? Nnaino mmanganya nshishumiyanga majiganyo genunji pa Yelushalemu powe na nnatumbililanga kutupa mmbasho ga shiwo sha bhene bhandubha.”
29 To this Peter and the Apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than men.
Penepo a Petili bhali na mitume bhananji bhala, gubhajangwile, “Tunapinjikwa kwaakunda a Nnungu kupunda bhandunji.
30 The God of our ancestors raised Jesus, whom you put to death by hanging him on a cross.
A Nnungu bha ashainabhetu bhashikwayuya a Yeshu bhumwabhulegenje mmanganyanji kwa kwaakomela munshalabha.
31 It is this Jesus whom God has exalted to his right hand, to be a Guide and a Saviour, to give Israel repentance and forgiveness of sins.
Bhenebha ni bhakweshiywe na a Nnungu mpaka kunkono nnilo gwabho, nibha Akalongolele na Bhaatapula, bhaakomboyanje Bhaishilaeli kwiipeta, nkupinga bhaleshelelwanje ilebho yabhonji.
32 And we are witness to the truth of this, and so is the Holy Spirit — the gift of God to those who obey him.”
Uwe tubhaakong'ondela bha genego, pamo naka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo jubhapegwilwenje na a Nnungu bhowe bhakwaakundanga.”
33 The members of the Council became frantic with rage on hearing this, and were for putting the Apostles to death.
Bhandunji bhowe bha lukumbi lula bhakapilikananjeje genego, guyaashimilenje, gubhatumbililenje kwaabhulaganga.
34 But Gamaliel, a Pharisee, who was a Doctor of the Law and who was held in universal respect, rose in the Council, and directed that the men should be taken out of court for a little while.
Ikabheje a Palishayo bhamo bhashemwaga a Gamalieli bhaliji bhaajiganya bha malajilo na bhatendaga jogopeka na bhandu bhowe, gubhajimi pa lukumbi pala, gubhajujile bhantenga bhala bhakopoywanje kashoko palanga.
35 He then said: “Men of Israel, take care as to what you intend to do with these men.
Kungai gubhaalugululilenje bhalukumbi bhala, “Mmashilambo ajangunji mma pa Ishilaeli, mwiteiganje nkanabhe tendanga shitendi shinkupinganga kwaatendanga abha bhandunjibha!
36 For not long ago Theudas appeared, professing to be somebody, and was joined by a body of some four hundred men. But he was killed; and all his followers scattered and dwindled away.
Bhashinkukoposhela bhandu bhamo bhukala, lina lyabho a Teuda, bhaitembile ukulungwa, na bhandunji tome na ishila mia pasheshe gubhailundilenje na bhenebho. Ikabheje gubhabhulegwe, na bhene bhaakulupalilangaga bhala gubhapwilingenenje na shikundi shila shikuwaga.
37 After him, Judas the Galilean appeared at the time of the census, and induced people to follow him; Yet he, too, perished and all his followers were dispersed.
Na kabhili, mobha ga bhalanganya bhandu gala, bhakoposhele a Yuda bha ku Galilaya. Bhashinkukola nshemyo na bhandu gubhaakagwilenje, ikabheje na bhalabho nnepeila gubhabhulegwe na bhaakulupalila bhabho gubhapwilingenenje.”
38 And, in this present case, my advice to you is not to interfere with these men, but to let them alone, for, if their designs and their work are merely of human origin, they will come to an end;
“Bhai nnaino ngunakummalanjilanga, bhanganyabha mwaalekenje nnaatendanje shindu shoshowe! Pabha jene nganiji ibhaga jikumbwiywe na bhandunjipe, shijiwe jiyenepe.
39 but, if they are of divine origin, you will be powerless to put an end to them — or else you may find yourselves fighting against God!”
Ikabheje, ibhaga kujikopweshe kwa a Nnungu, nkaakombolanga, pabha shiibhe mbuti nkwaataukanga a Nnungu.”
40 The Council followed his advice, and, calling the Apostles in, had them flogged, and then, after cautioning them not to speak in the Name of Jesus, set them free.
Bhai gubhaapilikanishiyenje malobhe gabho, gubhaashemilenje mitume bhala, gubhaakomilenje ibhoko na kwaalimbiyanga kujiganya kabhili kwa lina lya a Yeshu, nigubhaaleshilenje bhajabhulangane.
41 But the Apostles left the Council, rejoicing that they had been thought worthy to suffer disgrace for that Name;
Bhai, bhantenga gubhakopokenje palanga lukumbi, akuno ili yanonyelenje kwa kaje pabha bhashipinjikwanga tokomaywa kwa ligongo lya a Yeshu.
42 and never for a single day, either in the Temple Courts or in private houses, did they cease to teach, or to tell the Good News of Jesus, the Christ.
Gubhapundilenje kujiganya na lunguya mobha gowe ku Likanisha na mmajumba ga bhandunji Ngani ja Mmbone ja a Yeshu kuti ni a Kilishitu.
