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].
Lyubha limo, shaa tisha ja ligulo, malanga ga juga Nnungu, a Petili na a Yowana bhatendaga kwendangana ku Likanisha.
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.
Gene mobhago bhandunji bhatendaga kunnjigalanga mundu jumo aaliji nangwabha shibhelekwele. Kila lyubha bhatendaga kummikanga nangwabha jula pa nnango gwa Likanisha ushemwa “Nnango Gwakonja,” nkupinga ajuje shoshowe kubhandu bhajinjilangaga Nliekalu.
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!”)
Akaabhonanjeje a Petili na a Yowana bhalijinjilanga Nliekalu, gwabhajujilenje bhannjangutilanje shindu shoshowe.
4 As Peter and John looked directly at him, Peter said to him, “Look at us!”
A Petili na a Yowana gubhannolilenje ku meyo, a Petili gubhashite, “Tulole oti uwe.”
5 So he looked directly at them, expecting to get some [money] from them.
Na jwalakwe gwabhalolilenje alilolela kujangutilwa shindu.
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!”
Ikabheje a Petili gubhammalanjile, “Nangali ela wala shaabhu, ikabheje shingwete nne, shinukupe. Kwa mashili ga lina lya a Yeshu Kilishitu Bhanashaleti, jima ujendejende!”
7 Then Peter grasped the man’s right hand and helped him to stand up. Immediately the man’s feet and ankles became strong.
Gubhankamwile nkono gwa kunnilo, gubhannjinwile. Popo pepo makongono na iukuuku ikukolaga mashili.
8 He jumped up and began to walk! Then he entered the Temple [area] with them, walking and leaping and praising God!
Shangupe gwajimi, gwatandwibhe kujendajenda. Gwalongene nabhonji kujinjila ku Likanisha aliumbaumba na kwaakuya a Nnungu.
9 All the people [there] saw that man walking and praising God.
Bhandunji bhowe bhapalinji pepala gubhammweninji alijimajima alikwaakuya a Nnungu.
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.
Bhakammanyanjeje kuti jweneju atamaga na juga pa Nnango Gwakonja, gwa Likanisha, gubhakanganigwenje kwa kaje, bhanagamanyanje gampatile.
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.
Bhandunji bhowe, bhali bhakanganigwenje, gubhatandubhenje kubhutushila kulukumbi lwashemwaga, “Lukumbi lwa a Shelemani,” pabha kweneko ni kwaliji mundu aliji nangwabha jula ali alongene na a Petili na a Yowana.
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!
Bhai, a Petili bhakaabhonanjeje bhandunji bhala gubhaalugulilenje, “Mmanganya mma Ishilaeli, kwa nndi nnakanganigwanga na genega? Pakuti nnakutukolondosheyanga meyo mbuti kwa mashili getu eu kwa uguja gwetu tuntendile akombole kujendajenda?
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.
A Nnungu bha ashainabhetu a Bhulaimu na a Ishaka na a Yakobho, bhashikwaakuya bhatumishi bhabho a Yeshu. Bhene bhumwaakanilenje na kwaakamuya kwa a Pilato bhabhulagwe, nkali a Pilato bhaamulishe kuti bhaleshelelwe.
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)!
Ikabheje mmanganyanji mwashinkwaakananga bhaaliji bha Ukonjelo na bhanguja, nipinga agopolwe mundu juna aaliji mmulaga bhandu.
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.
Bhai, gumwaabhulegenje bhene bhali shiumilo sha gumi bhala. Ikabheje a Nnungu bhakwayuyaga, na uwe ni tubhakong'ondela bha genega pugatendeshe.
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.”
Ngulupai jetu na mashili ga lina lya a Yeshu gashinkumpa mashili na kunnamyiya aju mundu junkummonanga na kummanya, malinga mmowe shinkuti kummonangashi.
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].
“Lelo ashaalongo ajangu, mmumanyinji kuti mmanganya na bhanangulungwa bhenunji mwashinkutendanga nneyo pabha nkamumanyangaga.
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].
Ikabheje genega gamalile, gubhalunguyaga a Nnungu kwa malobhe ga ashinkulondola bhabho bhowe, kuti inapinjikwa a Kilishitu bhabho bhapotekwe.
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.
Bhai, mwipetanje, mwabhujilanje a Nnungu bhanneshelelanje ilebho yenunji,
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.
ntendanje nneyo, Bhakulungwa bhampanganje kuangalala mmitima jenunji na bhampeleshelanje a Kilishitu bhubhaagwile bhayene yani a Yeshu.
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)
Ishipinjikwa bhenebho bhaigale kunnungu peko mpaka gaishile mobha ga alaya ukoto indu yowe, malinga shibhashite lugula a Nnungu kwa malobhe ga ashinkulondola bhabho bha Ukonjelo kuumila bhukala. (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].
Pabha a Musha bhaashite, ‘Bhakulungwa a Nnungu bhenunji shibhampeleshelanje nkulondola jwabho jwa malinga nne kukoposhela munkumbi gwenunji, mumpilikanishiyanje jwenejo kwa yowe yashammalanjilanje.
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’.”
Na jojowe shakane kumpilikanishiya jwene nkulondola jwa a Nnungujo, shabhingwe na bhandunji bha a Nnungu na bhulagwa.’
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.
“Ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu bhowe, tandubhila a Shamweli na bhowe bhaakagulenje, bhatendaga lunguyanga ngani ja indu itendeka nnainoi.
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].’”
Gene malagano gubhatendile a Nnungu kwa malobhe ga ashinkulondola bhabho gala ni genunji mmanganya, nninginji mmalagano gubhatendile a Nnungu na ashi nakulubhenunji, malinga shibhaabhalanjile a Bhulaimu, ‘Nnubheleko lwenu, bhandunji bhowe bha pashilambolyo shibhapokanje.’
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].”
Bhai, a Nnungu bhashikwaakuya bhatumishi bhabho a Yeshu, nkupinga mmanganya ntandubhanje kupwaika, pabha bhashinkwatuma kwenu mmanganya oti, bhampeleshelanje mboka kwa kuntenda ali jowe munkumbi gwenunji aleshe ilebho.”
