1 A Petili na a Yowana bhalinginji nkwaalungushiyanga bhandunji, gubhaikengenenje bhakulungwanji bha bhaabhishila na bhakulungwanji bha ulinda gwa liekalu na ashi Mashadukayo.
As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them,
2 Ashi Mashadukayo na bha kulungwanji bha ulinda gubhaatumbalilenje kwa kaje a Petili na a Yowana, pabha bhatendanga kwajiganyanga na kwaalungushiyanga bhandunji ga yuka kwa a Yeshu ngani jitaya kuti kupali kuyuka kwa bhawilenje.
being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
3 Bhai, gubhaakamulenje na pabha yaliji tome na pilila, gubhaabhishilenje muulinda mpaka pa malabhi gakwe.
They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening.
4 Ikabheje bhabhagwinji bhapilikenenje jene nganijo gubhakulupalienje, bhaakulupalila bhanabhalume gubhaishilenje tome na ishila elupu nng'ano.
But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.
5 Pa malabhi gakwe, ashikalongolele bha Shiyaudi, na bhanangulungwa na bhaajiganya bha malajilo ga a Musha gubhapegwilwe na a Nnungu, gubhaimenenje ku Yelushalemu.
In the morning, their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem.
6 Gubhaimenenje pamo na bhakulungwa bha bhaabhishila a Anashi, na a Kayapa, na a Yowana, na a Alekishanda, na bhananji bhalinginji bha ulongo bha bhakulungwa bha bhaabhishila.
Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest.
7 Bhakaajimikanjeje bhantenga bhala mmujo jabhonji, gubhaabhushiyenje, “Mmanganya nshitendanga yenei kwa mashili gakeni na antumilenje gani?”
When they had stood Peter and John in the middle of them, they inquired, “By what power, or in what name, have you done this?”
8 Penepo, a Petili bhali bhagumbelwe na Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo, gubhaalugulilenje, “Mmanganya ashikalongolele na bhanangulungwa bha pa Ishilaeli!
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “You rulers of the people and elders of Israel,
9 Ibhaga lelo tubhuywanga ga shitendi sha mmbone shatendelwe mundu aaliji nangwabha jula shashite lamiywa,
if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed,
10 bhai, mmanganya na bhandu bhowe bha pa Ishilaeli nnapinjikwanga mmumanyanje kuti, aju munduju akunnjimilanga lelo ali alamile kwa mashili ga lina lya a Yeshu Kilishitu Bhanashaleti bhumwaakomelenje munshalabha bhala, ikabheje a Nnungu gubhaayushiye.
may it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, this man stands here before you whole in him.
11 Bhenebha ni bhatashiywe Mmajandiko ga Ukonjelo kuti. ‘Liganga limwalikanilenje mmanganya mmashenganga, nnaino lishibha liganga likulu lya pandumba.’
He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’
12 Ntapulo ukaapatikana kuka mundu juna jojowe, pabha pashilambolyo, twangapegwa lina lika mundu juna lya kututapula.”
There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”
13 Bhanangulungwa bha lukumbi bhala, akuno bhali bhamumanyinji kuti a Petili na a Yowana bhandupe bhangashomanga, gubhakanganigwenje ga kwaabhonanga bhalibheleketanga gwangali bhoga. Gubhamumanyinji kuti pubhalinginji pamo na a Yeshu.
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.
14 Ikabheje bhakammonanjeje mundu alamiywe jula ajimi nabhonji, bhangabheleketanga shindu.
Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
15 Kwa nneyo, gubhaamulishenje bhakopokanje nnukumbi mula, gubhalepekenje ashaayenenji bhalikungulukanga.
But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
16 Gubhabhuyenenje, “Twaatendanje nndi bhene bhandunjibha? Pabha kila mundu atama pa Yelushalemu pano amumanyi kuti shishitendeka shilapo na uwe tukakombola kutauka shenesho.
saying, “What shall we do to these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.
17 Ikabheje nkupinga kuibhila shene shindushi shinapunde kushuma kubhandu, twaaleyanje bhanakungulukanje na mundu jojowe ga lina lya a Yeshu.”
But so that this spreads no further among the people, let’s threaten them, that from now on they do not speak to anyone in this name.”
18 Kwa nneyo gubhaashemilenje kabhili nkati, gubhaalimbiyenje bhanakungulukanje pa lugwinjili na wala bhanaajiganyanje bhandu ga mashili ga a Yeshu.
They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
19 Ikabheje a Petili na a Yowana gubhaajangwilenje. “Nng'ukumulanje mwaashayenenji, shammbone shei, kumpilikanishiyanga mmanganya eu kwaapilikanishiya a Nnungu?
But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,
20 Pabha uwe tukaleka bheleketa ga ituibhweni na ituipilikene.”
for we cannot help telling the things which we saw and heard.”
21 Bhai bhanangulungwa bha lukumbi bhala gubhaakalipilenje kwa kaje, kungai gubhaaleshelelenje. Bhangaaukumulanga pabha bhandunji bhowe bhatendaga kwaakuyanga a Nnungu kwa ligongo lya gakoposhele gala.
When they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done.
22 Mundu alamiywe jula paaliji jwa yaka ya punda makumi nsheshe.
For the man on whom this miracle of healing was performed was more than forty years old.
23 A Petili na a Yowana shangupe bhakaleshelelwanjeje, gubhapitengenenje kwa bhaakulupalila ajabhonji, gubhaatalashiyenje yowe ibhabhalanjilwenje na bhakulungwanji bha bhaabhishila na bhanangulungwa.
Being let go, they came to their own company and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
24 Bhalabhonji bhakapilikananjeje genego, gubhatemingenenje pamo nikwaajuga a Nnungu bhalinkutinji, “Mmakulungwa, mmwe mpengenye shilambolyo na bhaali na yowe ili nkati jakwe!
When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord and said, “O Lord, you are God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;
25 Mmwe mwaatendile bhatumishi bhenu, ainabhetu a Daudi, bhabhelekete kwa mashili gaka Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo kuti, ‘Kwa nndi bhailambo ina bhashishimwanga? Pakuti bhandunji bhanaatendanga lukumbi?
who by the mouth of your servant David, said, ‘Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?
26 Bhapalume bha shilambolyo bhashikwishimilikanga, na bhatawala bhashiimana pamo nkwaakana Bhakulungwa na a Kilishitu bhabho.’
The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers plot together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.’
27 “Pabha, kweli a Elode na a Pontio Pilato na bhandunji bha pa Ishilaeli na bhandunji bha ilambo ina bhaimenenje pannjini pano, nkwaakana a Yeshu Bhatumishi bhenu bha Ukonjelo bhumwaagwile.
“For truly, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed,
28 Elo, bhashinkuimananga nkupinga bhatendanje gene gumwatumbilile na panga bhukalago kwa mashili genu mmayene malinga shimwapinjile.
to do whatever your hand and your counsel foreordained to happen.
29 Ikabheje nnaino, Mmakulungwa nnole shibhakuti kutujogoyanga. Ntushimilishe tulunguye lilobhe lyenu gwangali jogopa.
Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,
30 Nngoloye nkono gwenu mwaalamyanje bhandu. Ntende ilangulo na ilapo kwa mashili ga lina lya a Yeshu Bhatumishi bhenu bha Ukonjelo.”
while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.”
31 Bhakamaliyanjeje kujuga Nnungu, pene pubhaimenenje pala pakutenganywaga, na bhowenji gubhagumbelwenje na Mbumu jwa Ukonjelo. Bhowe gubhapundilenje kulunguya lilobhe lya a Nnungu gwangali jogopa.
When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
32 Nkumbi gowe gwa bhaakulupalila pugwaaliji na ntima gumo na ng'aniyo yabhonji imope. Jwakwapi akwetele shindu shakwe, ikabheje bhatendaga gabhana indu yowe ibhakwetenje.
The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.
33 Mitume bhatendaga kong'ondelanga kwa mashili kuyuka kwa Bhakulungwa a Yeshu, na a Nnungu gubhaapelenje mboka yaigwinji.
With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.
34 Akapagwaga wala mundu jumo atubhilwaga na shindu, pabha bhakwetenje migunda eu nyumba bhatendaga ushanga
For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,
35 nikwaakamuyanga mitume ela ila, nigabhanya kwa kila mundu malinga shapingaga.
and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.
36 Bhashinkupagwa Bhalawi bhamo, bha ku Kipulo, lina lyabho a Yoshepu, mitume pubhaashemangaga a Bhanabha, malombolelo gakwe “Mundu ataga ntima”.
Joses, who by the apostles was also called Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,
37 Na bhalabho bhashinkukola nngunda, gubhaushiye, gubhatolile ela ila gubhapite kamuya kwa ashimitume.
having a field, sold it and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
