< Acts 3 >

1 [One day] Peter and John were going to the Temple [courtyard]. It was three o’clock in the afternoon, which was the time when people prayed [there publicly].
Itungili uPetro nu Yohana ai atulaa atungile mi Itekeelo matungo a malompi, saa kenda.
2 There was a man there who had been lame from the time he was born. He [was sitting by] the gate called Beautiful [Gate], at the entrance to the Temple [area]. People put him there every day, so that he could ask those who were entering [or leaving] the temple courtyard to give him some money.
Muntu nua kituunga, kitele puma kutugwa, ai watulaa ukukenkwa kila mahiku hangi ai watulaa ukulalikigwa mu mulango nui itekeelo nuitangwaa uziza, iti ahume kulompa isongelyo kupuma ku antu nai atulaa atungile mi itekeelo.
3 As Peter and John were about to enter [the Temple courtyard], the lame man saw them and asked them several times to give him some money. (OR, The lame man said to them several times, “Please give me some money!”)
Nai wakaihenga ia Petro nu Yohana akuhumbeela kingila mi Itekeelo, ai ulompile isongelyo.
4 As Peter and John looked directly at him, Peter said to him, “Look at us!”
uPetro, akamugondoola, palung'wi nu Yohana, ai uligitilye, “kugoze usese.”
5 So he looked directly at them, expecting to get some [money] from them.
uKitele aka agoza, aze usumbiiye kusingiilya kintu kituunga kupuma kitalao.
6 Then Peter said to him, “I do not have any money [MTY], but what I [can do], I will [do] for you. Jesus Christ, [who was] from Nazareth [town], has authorized [MTY] me [to heal you! So get up and] walk!”
Kuiti uPetro akaligitya, “i mpia ni zahabu unene nimugila, kuiti iko ninkete kukipumya kitalako. Mu lina nilang'wa Yesu Kristo nua ku Nazareti, genda.”
7 Then Peter grasped the man’s right hand and helped him to stand up. Immediately the man’s feet and ankles became strong.
uPetro akamuhola ku mukono nuakwe nua kigoha, hangi akamunyansula migulya: itungo ling'wi i migulu akwe ni inungo nia makupa akwe ikalija ingulu.
8 He jumped up and began to walk! Then he entered the Temple [area] with them, walking and leaping and praising God!
Azeputa migulya, umuntu ukitele ai wimikile nu kandya kugenda; akingila mi itekeelo palung'wi nu Petro nu Yohana, azegenda, azeputangila, nu kumukulya Itunda
9 All the people [there] saw that man walking and praising God.
Antu ihi ai amihengile ukugenda nu kumukulya Itunda.
10 They recognized that he was the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate in the Temple [courtyard] and ask [people] for money! So all the people there were greatly amazed at what had happened to him.
Akalinga kina ai watulaa yuyo muntu naiza watuilee wikiie wazelompa isongelyo mu mulango nu uziza nui itekeelo; ai izuiwe nu ukuilwa nu kukuilwa ku nsoko a iko nazakipumie kitalakwe.
11 As the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were so surprised [that they did not know what to think] So they ran to the two apostles at the place [in the Temple courtyard] that is called {that [people] call} Solomon’s Porch.
Kinya iti nai watulaa ua ambiie ia Petro nu Yohana, antu ihi ku palung'wi akamankiila mi itando ni litangwaa nilang'wa Sulemani, aze akuiwe lukulu.
12 When Peter saw that, he said to the crowd, “Fellow Israelites, (you should not be surprised about what has happened to this man!/why are you so surprised about what has happened to this man?) [RHQ] And you should not stare at us, either! You seem to [RHQ] think that the two of us enabled this man to walk because we [(exc)] ourselves are powerful or because we please God very much!
uPetro nai wakihenga ili, nuanso aka asukiilya i antu, “Unye antu a Israeli, ku niki muku kuilwa? ku niki mukumatunja i miho anyu kitaitu, anga kina kamuzipyaa uyu wagende ku ngulu yitu akola ang'wi malompi itu?”
13 [So I will tell you what is really happening]. Our ancestors, including Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, worshipped God. And now he has greatly honored Jesus, who always served him. Your [leaders] brought Jesus [to the governor, Pilate], so that [his soldiers would kill him]. And [God considers that] in front of Pilate you [were the ones who rejected] Jesus [as your king], after Pilate had decided that he should release Jesus.
Itunda nuang'wa Ibrahimu, hangi wang'wa Isaka, hangi wang'wa Yakobo, Itunda nua aTata itu, umukuiye u munyamilimo nuakwe uYesu. Uyu yuyo naiza unyenye ai muminkiiye nu kumuhita ntongeela a usu wang'wa Pilato, ga ni iti nuanso ai watulaa walamula kumuleka ilyuuku.
14 [Although Jesus] always did what was right/just and good, you rejected him. [Pilate wanted to release him, but] you urgently asked Pilate to release (a murderer/someone who had killed people)!
Ai mumuhitile uNg'welu hangi Munya Tai ane, ni badala akwe mikalowa u mubulagi walekwe ilyuuku.
15 [God considers that] you killed [Jesus], the one who gives people [eternal] life. But God has greatly honored him (by causing him to become alive again after he died/by raising him from the dead). Many of us saw [him after that, and now] we [(exc)] are telling [you] about it.
Unyenye ai mamubulaga u utemi nua upanga, naiza Itunda ai umiukilye kupuma mu ashi - u sese kiakuiili nia ili.
16 It is because [we two] trusted in what Jesus [MTY, PRS] [could do, that he] made this man, whom you see and know, strong again. Yes, it is because we [(exc)] trusted in Jesus that he has completely healed this man for all of you to see.”
Itungili, ku uhuiili mu lina nilakwe, u muntu uyu naiza mukumihenga nu kulinga, ai witumilwe kutula ni ingulu, uhuiili niiza kukiila kung'wa Yesu uminkiiye nuanso upanga nu ukondaniie, ntogeela anyu unyenye mihi.
17 “Now, my fellow-countrymen, I know that you and your leaders did that [to Jesus] because you [and they] did not know [that he was the Messiah].
Itungili, anyandugu, mulingile kina ai mitumile mu upungu, uu nai itumile ga ni atongeeli anyu.
18 However, [your putting him to death] was what God had predicted that people would do. [Long ago] he told all the prophets [MTY] to write [what people would do to the Messiah. They wrote] that the Messiah, whom God [would send], would suffer [and die].
Kuiti makani niiza Itunda ai wakaya kumutambuila ku malangu a anyakidagu ihi, kina uKristo uyu ukagisha, itungili wamakondaniilya.
19 So, turn away from your sinful behavior and ask God [to help you] do what pleases [him], in order that he may completely forgive you for your sins.
Ku lulo, ili itunu hangi mupiluke, iti kina i milandu anyu ihume kuhegigwa lukulu, isigo apembye i matungo na kulumiila kupuminkana nu umoli nua Mukulu;
20 [If you do that], there will be times [when you will know that] the Lord [God is] helping [you]. And some day he will [again] send back [to earth] the Messiah, whom he appointed for you. That person is Jesus.
ni kina wahume kumulagiilya u Kristo naiza wasaguwe kunsoko anyu, uYesu.
21 Jesus must stay in heaven until the time when God will cause all that he has created to become new. Long ago God promised [to do that, and] he chose holy prophets to tell [that to people]. (aiōn g165)
uNg'wenso yuyo niiza kusinja i ilunde limusingiilye kupikiila itungo nila kusukiiligwa i intu yihi, naiza Itunda ai uligitilye ikali ku malangu a anyakidagu ni elu. (aiōn g165)
22 For [example, the prophet] Moses said [this about the Messiah]: ‘The Lord (your God/the God whom you [worship]) will cause someone to become a prophet to tell you [God’s message. God will send him] as [he sent] me, [and he will be] from among your own people. You must listen to everything that this prophet tells you [and obey him] [SYN].
Kulu kuulu uMusa ai uligitilye, 'uMukulu Itunda ukunyansula munyakidagu anga nene kupuma mu aluna anyu. Mukumutegeelya kila ikintu naiza ukumutambuila unyenye.
23 [Those who] do not listen to [that prophet and obey] him will no longer belong to God’s people, and [God] will get rid of them’.”
Ikupumila kina kila muntu niiza shanga witegeelya ku munyakidagu nuanso ukulimiligwa lukulu wapume mu antu.'
24 [Peter continued], “All the prophets have told [about what would happen during] the time [MTY] [in which we(inc) are living. Those prophets include] Samuel [and all the others who] later also spoke [about these events] before they happened.
Iti gwa, ni anyakidagu ihi pumiila uSamweli ni awo nai atyatile ze yakilaa u ng'wenso, ai atambue nu kutanantya i mahiku aya.
25 You [as well as we(exc)] are the people [to whom God sent the Messiah, as] the prophets said [MTY] [that he would]. And when God strongly promised [to bless] our ancestors, he also surely promised to bless you. He said to Abraham [concerning the Messiah], ‘[I] will bless all people on the earth as a result of [what] your descendant [will do].’”
Unyenye ingi ana a anyakidagu hangi i lago naiza Itunda ai ulitumile palung'wi ni Isekulu, anga nai uligitilye kung'wa Ibrahimu, 'mu mbeu niako i ndugu yihi nia mihi ikukendepwa,'
26 [Peter concluded], “[So] when God sent [to the earth] (Jesus, the one who always obeys him/his servant Jesus), he sent him first to you [Israelites] to bless you. [God will] enable you to stop doing what is wicked [and to start doing what pleases him].”
Ze yakilaa Itunda kumunyansula u munyamilimo nuakwe, ai umulagiiye kitalanyu hanza, iti amukendepe unyenye kupiluka kupuma mu ubii nuanyu.”
