Acts 4
1 But while they were speaking to the people, the priests and the magistrate of the temple and the Sadducees overwhelmed them,
Piela ayi Yowani bu baba yoluka kuidi batu, buna vatotuka banganga Nzambi, pfumu yi batu baba sunganga Nzo Nzambi ayi Basaduki;
2 being grieved that they were teaching the people and announcing in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
bamona phiti mu ntima mu diambu di bamvuala balonga batu ayi zisamuna mfulukulu mu bafua mu nzila yi Yesu.
3 And they laid hands on them, and they placed them under guard until the next day. For it was now evening.
Buna baba kanga. Vayi bu yiba thangu masika, baba tula mu nloko nate mu lumbu kilanda.
4 But many of those who had heard the word believed. And the number of men became five thousand.
Vayi bawombo bawilukila mu batu bobo bawa malongi mawu. Thalu yi batu yibuelama nduka-nduka mili tanu.
5 And it happened on the next day that their leaders and elders and scribes gathered together in Jerusalem,
Muaki yiyiza ba ti mu lumbu kilanda, bapfumu ziawu, bakulutu bawu ba batu ayi minsoniki miawu mi mina bakutakana ku Yelusalemi.
6 including Annas, the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John and Alexander, and as many as were of the priestly family.
Kuna kuba Ana, Pfumu yi banganga Nzambi, Kayife, Yowani, Alasendele ayi bawombo bankaka baba mu nkuna wu pfumu yi banganga Nzambi.
7 And stationing them in the middle, they questioned them: “By what power, or in whose name, have you done this?”
Batula Piela ayi Yowani va ntualꞌawu, bosi baba yuvula: —Mu lulendo mbi voti mu dizina di nani luvangidi diambu diadi e?
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Leaders of the people and elders, listen.
Buna Piela, bu kaba wuwala mu Pheve Yinlongo, wuba vutudila: —A bapfumu zi batu; bakulutu ba Iseli!
9 If we today are judged by a good deed done to an infirm man, by which he has been made whole,
Enati lumbu kiaki tueka sambusu mu diambu di mavanga mamboti momo mavangimini kuidi mutu wubela ayi mu diambu di zaba buevi kabelukididi,
10 let it be known to all of you and to all of the people of Israel, that in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God has raised from the dead, by him, this man stands before you, healthy.
buna bika luzaba beno boso ayi beno batu boso ba Iseli ti mu dizina di Yesu Klisto muisi Nazaleti. Yesu diodi beno lubanda va dikulusi, diodi Nzambi kafulukisa mu bafua. Mu dizina diodi mutu wawu kadidi va tualꞌeno vava ayi nitu yi buvini.
11 He is the stone, which was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.
Bila niandi, ditadi dilozo kuidi beno mintungi, diyikidi ditadi di mfunu va fuma.
12 And there is no salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, by which it is necessary for us to be saved.”
Phulusu luisi ko mu mutu wunkaka; bila va nza yimvimba kuisi ko dizina dinkaka divanu kuidi batu diodi tufueti vukila.
13 Then, seeing the constancy of Peter and John, having verified that they were men without letters or learning, they wondered. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus.
Bu bamona bukhafi bu Piela ayi bu Yowani, ayi, bu babakula ti Piela ayi Yowani basia ba balonguka ko ayi badi batu baphamba; buna basimina buwombo. Bazaba ti bawu baba kibanga ayi Yesu.
14 Also, seeing the man who had been cured standing with them, they were unable to say anything to contradict them.
Bu bamona mutu wowo wubelusu wuba yawu vana, buna basia baka ko diambu di findisila ziphaka.
15 But they ordered them to withdraw outside, away from the council, and they conferred among themselves,
Baba vana lutumunu lu totuka ku nganda yi lukutukunu lu minyadi. Buna bayuvasana bawu na bawu:
16 saying: “What shall we do to these men? For certainly a public sign has been done through them, before all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. It is manifest, and we cannot deny it.
—A mambu mbi tufueti vangila batu baba e? Bila kuidi batu boso bankalanga mu Yelusalemi, didi dikiedika ti batu bobo bavengi kumu kinneni ayi tulendi ditunuka ko.
17 But lest it spread further among the people, let us threaten them not to speak anymore in this name to any man.”
Vayi muingi nsamu beni wubika luta tembakana muangana batu, bika tuba kandika muingi babika buela yolukila mu dizina diodi buba kuidi nani.
18 And calling them in, they warned them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
Bosi bu baba tumisa, baba kandika babika buela yolukila voti buela longila mu dizina di Yesu.
19 Yet truly, Peter and John said in response to them: “Judge whether it is just in the sight of God to listen to you, rather than to God.
Vayi Piela ayi Yowani baba vutudila: —Zenganu beno veka: didi difuana va ntuala Nzambi mu kuluwila voti mu wila Nzambi e?
20 For we are unable to refrain from speaking the things that we have seen and heard.”
Bila beto tulendi vonga ko yolukila mambu momo tumona ayi momo tuwa!
21 But they, threatening them, sent them away, having not found a way that they might punish them because of the people. For all were glorifying the things that had been done in these events.
Bu babuela ku batitisa diaka, baba yekula bila basi mona ko buevi balenda kuba vanina thumbudulu. Bila batu boso bakembisa Nzambi mu diambu di kumu kioki kivangama.
22 For the man in whom this sign of a cure had been accomplished was more than forty years old.
Bila mutu wowo wuvangulu kumu kioki wuba viokila tezo makumaya ma mimvu.
23 Then, having been released, they went to their own, and they reported in full what the leaders of the priests and the elders had said to them.
Bu babayekula, Piela ayi Yowani bayenda bata bakundi bawu ayi baba kamba mambu moso mabakamba bapfumu zi zinganga Nzambi ayi bakulutu ba batu.
24 And when they had heard it, with one accord, they lifted up their voice to God, and they said: “Lord, you are the One who made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them,
Bu bawa mambu momo, va kimosi bawu boso batumbula mbembo mu sambila Nzambi: —Pfumu ngeyo wuvanga Diyilu ayi ntoto, mbu ayi bibioso bidi muna;
25 who, by the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David, your servant, said: ‘Why have the Gentiles been seething, and why have the people been pondering nonsense?
ngeyo wuyolukila mu Pheve Yinlongo mu munu wu nkulu eto Davidi, kisadi kiaku. A bila mbi makanda mafuemini e? Bila mbi batu balembo yindudila mambu makambulu fuana e?
26 The kings of the earth have stood up, and the leaders have joined together as one, against the Lord and against his Christ.’
Mintinu mi ntoto mitelama bapfumu zikutikini mu nuanisa Pfumu ayi Klisto andi.
27 For truly Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, joined together in this city against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed
Bila mu divula diadi ntinu Elode ayi Ponse-Pilatu, Bapakanu ayi basi Iseli bawizini muingi banuanisa Yesu, kisadi kiaku kinlongo, kioki wubieka,
28 to do what your hand and your counsel had decreed would be done.
mu diambu di vanga mambu moso momo wuyindula tona thama mu luzolo ayi mu lulendo luaku.
29 And now, O Lord, look upon their threats, and grant to your servants that they may speak your word with all confidence,
Vayi buabu, Pfumu, tala bu balembo tutitisila ayi vana bisadi biaku bukhafi bu longila mambu maku.
30 by extending your hand in cures and signs and miracles, to be done through the name of your holy Son, Jesus.”
Bika wunonumuna koko kuaku mu diambu di belusa ayi mu diambu dibikumu ayi mambu manneni mavangama mu dizina di Yesu, kisadi kiaku kinlongo.
31 And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered was moved. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. And they were speaking the Word of God with confidence.
Bu bamanisa sambila, buangu kioki ki bakutikinina kinikukaayi baboso bawala mu Pheve Yinlongo. Balonga mambu ma Nzambi mu bukhafi.
32 Then the multitude of believers were of one heart and one soul. Neither did anyone say that any of the things that he possessed were his own, but all things were common to them.
Nkangu woso wu batu bobo bawilukila baba ntima wumosi ayi pheve yimosi. Kusia ba ko mutu wubanzila ti bima biandi biba mu diambu diandi veka; vayi bina bioso biba bi kithuadi.
33 And with great power, the Apostles were rendering testimony to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord. And great grace was in them all.
Mu lulendo lungolo, bamvuala batelimina mfulukulu yi Pfumu Yesu kimbangi ayi nlemvo wuwombo wumonika mu bawu boso.
34 And neither was anyone among them in need. For as many as were owners of fields or houses, selling these, were bringing the proceeds of the things that they were selling,
Kadi mutu wumosi mu bawu kasia ba wusukama ko. Bila batu boso baba zitsola voti zinzo bazisumbisa
35 and were placing it before the feet of the Apostles. Then it was divided to each one, just as he had need.
ayi banata kuidi bamvuala thalu yi zimbongo yoyo basumbisila bima biawu. Bamvuala baba kabulanga ziawu kuidi kadika mutu boso bubela minkiza mi kadika mutu.
36 Now Joseph, who the Apostles surnamed Barnabas (which is translated as ‘son of consolation’), who was a Levite of Cyprian descent,
Buna Zozefi, wubieko kuidi bamvuala “Balinabasi” tsundu dizina beni “muana mbombolo” wuba muisi sanga ki Sipeli mu dikanda di Levi.
37 since he had land, he sold it, and he brought the proceeds and placed these at the feet of the Apostles.
Niandi mamvandi wusumbisa tsolꞌandi, wunata zimbongo ayi wuvana ziawu kuidi bamvuala.
