Mitendo 4

1 Ba Pitrosi ni Johani ha va bakwete kuwamba kuvantu, bapurisita ni induna we tempele ni basaduki ni chivasika kuvali.

And while they were talking to the people, the priests and the captain of the Temple and the Sadducees came up to them,

2 ba va kukatazehete chevaka lya Pitrosi ni Johana va vakuruta bantu mi va bakuwamba za kuvuka kwa Jesu kuzwilila kuvafwile.

Being greatly troubled because they were teaching the people and preaching Jesus as an example of the coming back from the dead.

3 Ba va basumini mi va vavika mwitolongo kuhitila kakusasana lichilila chakuti chivali chitengu.

And they took them and put them in prison till the morning, for it was now evening.

4 Kono bungi bwa vantu bavazuwi iñusa lyo ba bazumini; mi inombolo za vakwame va babazumini zi va kusika muzikiti zikwanisa iyanza.

But a number of those who gave hearing to the word had faith; and they were now about five thousand.

5 I bezi buti mwizuva licilila, chakuti manduna bavo, bakulwana ni bañoli ba va kungene mwa Jerusalema.

And on the day after, the rulers and those in authority and the scribes came together in Jerusalem;

6 Annas muprisita mukando, ni Kayafa, ni Johani, ni Alexandere na vo vonse bakwavo va muprisita mukando.

And Annas, the high priest, was there, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and all the relations of the high priest.

7 Ha va kaleta va Pitrosi ni Johana mukati kavo, ni chibaba vuza, “Çha maata ani, kapa chezina lyani, ha muchita ezi?”

Then sending for Peter and John, they said, By what power and in whose name have you done this?

8 Linu Pitrosi, ne zwile Luhuho Lujolola, ni chawamba kuvali, “Manduna ba vabantu, ni bakulwana,

Then Peter, being full of the Holy Spirit, said to them, O you rulers of the people and men of authority,

9 haiva iswe sinu mwikalile kutubuza chakuya cha musevezi mulutu wo tuvapangi kumuntu yo lwala -mi chenzila ihi uzu muntu a vaholi?

If we are questioned today about a good work done to a man who was ill, as to how he has been made well,

10 Chinu chiswanela kwizibwa kwenu ni kuvantu vonse va Isilaele, chakuti chezina la Jesu wa Nazareta, uzo ye muvakokoteli, uzo Ireeza a va muvusi kuvafwile - Nji kwakwe u zu mukwame hazimene aha havusu bwenu na liketete.

Take note, all of you, and all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you put to death on the cross, whom God gave back from the dead, even through him is this man now before you completely well.

11 Jesu Keresite ibwe inwe muvazaki le muvanyansi kono livapangwa mutomo we mota.

He is the stone which you builders had no use for, but which has been made the chief stone of the building.

12 ka kwina impuluso cha muntu zumwi; chakuti kakwina izina limwi mwikonde lye ulu, li vahewa muntu zumwi, ilyo lituswanelwa kuhazwa.”

And in no other is there salvation: for there is no other name under heaven, given among men, through which we may have salvation.

13 Linu cwale hachi vabwene vundume bwa Pitorosi ni Johani, ni kulemuha kuti avali vantu vulyo vasana vavalitutite, vava komokwa, cho kwiza kulemuha kuti Pitorosi ni Johani vavena ni Jesu.

Now when they saw that Peter and John were without fear, though they were men of no education or learning, they were greatly surprised; and they took note of them that they had been with Jesus.

14 Kakuli vava voni mukwame yava hozwa na zimene navo, kakwina chimwi chivava woli kuwamba kuamana nechi.

And, seeing that the man who had been made well was there with them, they were not able to say anything against it.

15 Kono hachi vamana kulaya ba Apositola kuzwa mumu kopano wavo, chiva tanga kuwamba mukati kavo vene.

But when they had given them orders to go out of the Sanhedrin, they had a discussion among themselves,

16 Chivati, “Mutupange vule kwava vakwame? Cho vuniti vokuti imakazo ivoneka yapangahala chavo iziveka kuzumwi ni zumwi wikala mwa Jerusalema; katuwoli kuisampula.

Saying, What are we to do with these men? for certainly it is clear to all who are living in Jerusalem that a most important sign has been done by them, and it is not possible to say that it is not so.

17 Kono iri kuti kanji iyambuluki mukati kavantu, twende tuva kalimere kanji vawambi kuzumwi ni zumwi mweli izina.”

But so that it may not go farther among the people, let us put them in fear of punishment if they say anything in future in this name.

18 Chiva sumpa Pitorosi ni Johani kwiza mukati ni vaha itayero kuti kanji bawambi hape kamba kuruta hape che zina lya Jesu.

And they sent for them, and gave them orders not to make statements or give teaching in the name of Jesus.

19 Kono Pitorosi ni Johani chivali tavirila ni kuwamba kuvali, “Kamba kulukite mumenso a Ireeza kuti tuzuwe inwe isiñi iye, mu atule.

But Peter and John in answer said to them, It is for you to say if it is right in the eyes of God to give attention to you more than to God:

20 Kakuli katuwoli kulihaza kukuwamba kuyamana nezi zintu zituba voni ni kuzuwa.”

For it is not possible for us to keep from saying what we have seen and have knowledge of.

21 Kasamulaho o kuva kalimera ahulu Pitorosi ni Johani, chivava siya nivaliyendeza. Kena vava wani ivaka liva wola kuva nyansa chalyo kuti vavahe inkoto, kakuli vantu vonse vavali kulumba Ireeza kwi makazo iva pangahali.

And when they had said more sharp words to them, they let them go, not seeing what punishment they might give them, because of the people; for all men were giving praise to God for what had taken place.

22 Mukwame ava tambuli iyi imakazo yo kuzwa chavali we zirimo zilikana makumi one ni kuhitirila kukuzalwa.

For the man on whom this act of power was done was more than forty years old.

23 Hachiva mana kuva lukulula, Pitorosi ni Johani chiveza kuvantu vavo ni kwiza kuva wambira zonse inzo vakulwana vamaPurisita zivaka va wambira ni manduna ve tempere zivava wambi.

And when they had been made free, they came back to their friends, and gave an account of all the things which the chief priests and the authorities had said to them.

24 Hachi va zuwa ichi, chiva katula manzwi avo hamwina kwa Ireeza ni kiuwamba, “” Simwine, iwe uva vumbi mawulu ni kanda ni wate, ne zina zonse zina mwa teni,

And hearing it, they all, with one mind, made prayer to God and said, O Lord, maker of heaven and earth and the sea and all things in them:

25 Inwe cho Luhuho lu Jolola, cho kaholo ka tayo Davida muhikana wako, ava cho, “' Chinzi inkanda za machava hava lwa, ni maswaniso a sena ituso?

Who has said, by the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David your servant, Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish?

26 Basimwine va hansi va balikunganyi hamwina, ni bayendisi ba vakopani hamwina kulwisa Simwine, ni kulwisa Keresite wakwe;

The kings of the earth were lifted up, the rulers came together, against the Lord, and against his Christ:

27 Cheniti, bonse Heroda ni Ponse Pilato, hamwina ni va chisi ni vantu va Isilaele, va bakopani hamwina mumuleneñi uwo kulwisa muhikana wako Jesu, iye yo va iketeli.

For, truly, in this town, against your holy servant, Jesus, who was marked out by you as Christ, Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, came together,

28 Ba vakopani hamwina kuchita zonse izo ni mayanza ako ni maikuto ako zi vahupulwi pili kuti kazichitahale.

To do that which had been fixed before by your hand and your purpose.

29 Linu, Simwine, lole kumifumbo yabo mi uhe mwihikana wako kuwamba inzwi lyako cha kukola.

And now, Lord, take note of their cruel words, and give your servants power to be preachers of your word without fear,

30 chakuti ha cha namulula iyanza lyako mukuholisa, iponiso ni imakazo ziva kuchitahala che zina la muhikana wako yo jolola Jesu.”

While your hand is stretched out to do works of mercy; so that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus.

31 Ha chi bamana kulapela, chivaka ha vakopanela hamwina chi va zikinyehi, mi vonse ni chebezuzwa cha Luhuho Lujolola, mmi va bakuwamba inzi la reeza cha kukola.

And when their prayer was ended, the place where they were was violently moved, and they all became full of the Holy Spirit, preaching the word of God without fear.

32 Inombolo inkando ya vo ba bazumini ba vena chenkulo yonke ni luhulo: mi kakwina zumwi wa bo ya vakuwamba chimwi chamunite kuti luli njichakwe; nihakwinavulyo, ba vena zintu zonse chakuswana.

And all those who were of the faith were one in heart and soul: and not one of them said that any of the things which he had was his property only; but they had all things in common.

33 Cha maata makando bapositola ba ba kuwamba ze va baboni kuamana ni nzuho ya Simwine Jesu, mi chisemo chikando chivena heulu lyabo.

And with great power the Apostles gave witness of the coming back of the Lord Jesus from the dead; and grace was on them all.

34 Kakwina muntu mukati kavo ya va bulite chimwi chintu, kwavo vavali kuluwite ivu ini kamba mazuvo zana vava a uzi ni kuleta mali e zintu zivava uzi.

And no one among them was in need; for everyone who had land or houses, exchanging them for money, took the price of them,

35 ni kwiza kuavika ha mantende'. Mi vantu babahewa kwavo vavali kuzumine, cho kuya zumwi ni zumwi mwavali kusakira.

And put it at the feet of the Apostles for distribution to everyone as he had need.

36 Josefa, yavali Mulevi, mukwame yavali kuzwa kwa Cyprusi, ava hewa inzina lya Banabansi kuva Apositola( iri kuti, chikutolokiwa, mwana wu susuweza).

And Joseph, who was given by the Apostles the name of Barnabas (the sense of which is, Son of comfort), a Levite and a man of Cyprus by birth,

37 Chokuva newa, chali wuza ni kuleta mashereñi niwiza kuavika hamatende ava apostola.

Having a field, got money for it and put the money at the feet of the Apostles.
