5 Pali ilya inshita abaYuda abaletiina Lesa aba mu nko shonse isha mwi samba lya muulu baleikala mu Yerusalemu.+ 6 E ico ilyo abantu baumfwile ici iciunda, ibumba lya bantu lyalilongene kabili balipapile, pantu umo na umo aumfwile abasambi balelandila mu lulimi lwakwe. 7 Ala balipapile icine cine kabili batile: “Moneni, bushe aba bonse abalelanda te bena Galili?+ 8 Nomba cinshi bonse umo umo tulebomfwila balelandila mu ndimi shesu? 9 Pali ifwe pali abena Partia, abena Madai,+ abena Elamu,+ na bekala mu Mesopotamia, mu Yudea na mu Kapadokia, aba mu Ponte na ba mu citungu ca Asia,+ 10 aba mu Frugia, mu Pamfulia, mu Egupti na mu ncende sha Libya ishabela mupepi na ku Kurene, abafumine ku Roma, abaYuda na basangwike abaYuda,+ 11 abena Krete na bena Arabia, lelo tulebomfwa balelandila mu ndimi shesu ifikalamba ifya kwa Lesa.” 12 Awe bonse balipapile kabili balipelenganishiwe, balelanshanya abati, “Bushe ici calola mwi?” 13 Lelo bambi balebapumya abati: “Nabanwesha umwangashi uwalowa.”*

14 Lelo Petro pamo na batumwa bambi 11 baliminine,+ e lyo alanda mwi shiwi ilikalamba ati: “Mwe baume ba mu Yudea na mwe bekala mu Yerusalemu, umfweni kabili kutikisheni ifyo nalalanda. 15 Aba bantu tabakolelwe nge fyo muletunganya, pantu ino nshita liawala lyalenga butatu.* 16 Lelo ifi e fyo Lesa alandiile muli kasesema Yoele. Alandile ati: 17 “‘Kabili mu nshiku sha kulekelesha,” e fyo Lesa alanda, “nkapongolwela umupashi wandi pa bantunse bonse, kabili abana benu abaume na bana benu abanakashi bakalasesema, abalumendo bakalamona ifimonwa na baume benu abakalamba bakalaloota ifiloto,+ 18 muli isho nshiku nkapongolwela umupashi wandi na pa basha bandi abaume na pa basha bandi abanakashi kabili bakalasesema.+ 19 Kabili nkacita ifipesha amano mu muulu ne fishibilo pe sonde. Kukaba umulopa, umulilo e lyo ne cushi. 20 Akasuba kakaaluka imfifi, no mweshi ukaaluka umulopa ilyo ubushiku bwa kwa Yehova* ubukalamba kabili ubwa lulumbi bushilafika. 21 Kabili bonse abalilila kuli Yehova* no kulumbula ishina lyakwe bakapusuka.’”+

22 “Mwe bena Israele, umfweni aya mashiwi: Yesu umwina Nasarete e o Lesa amulangile apabuuta tuutu mu fya maka ne fipesha amano ne fishibilo ifyo Lesa acitiile muli ena ilyo ali na imwe,+ nge fyo na imwe bene mwaishiba. 23 Uyu Yesu, uo bamupeele ukulingana ne fyo Lesa alefwaya ne fyo aishibile libela,+ mwasuminishe bampulamafunde ukuti bamupoopele pa cimuti kabili mwalimwipeye.+ 24 Lelo Lesa alimubuushishe+ ilyo amulubwile ku bukali bwa mfwa,* pantu imfwa tayakwete amaka ya kumwikatilila.+ 25 Na kuba e o Davidi alandilepo ilyo atile: ‘Nabika Yehova* pa ntanshi yandi lyonse. Apo aba ku kuboko kwandi ukwa ku kulyo, nshakatelentenshiwe. 26 E ico umutima wandi nausangalala no lulimi lwandi lulelanda amashiwi aya kusekelela nga nshi. Kabili nkatwalilila ukucetekela Lesa; 27 pantu tamwakanshe* mu Nshiishi,* kabili tamwakaleke uwa cishinka kuli imwe akabole.+ 28 Namulenga naishiba inshila sha ku bumi, kabili ukuba mupepi na imwe*+ kukalenga nkalesekelela nga nshi.’

29 “Mwe baume, bamunyinane, twalikwata insambu sha kumweba pa cikolwe Davidi ukwabula umwenso, ukuti alifwile kabili alishiikilwe,+ ne nshiishi yakwe yaba kuno kwine ukufika na lelo. 30 Apo ali ni kasesema kabili alishibe ukuti Lesa alilapile umulapo kuli ena ukuti ali no kubika umwana wakwe uo ali no kufyala pa cipuna cakwe ica Bufumu,+ 31 alimwenene libela kabili alandile pa kubuushiwa kwa kwa Kristu ukuti, taali no kutwalilila ukuba mu Nshiishi* kabili umubili wakwe tawali no kubola.+ 32 Lesa alibuushishe uyu Yesu, kabili na ifwe bonse twalimwene ukuti alibuushiwe.+ 33 E ico apo Lesa Wishi,+ alimusansabika pa kumubika pa cipuna ca ku kuboko kwakwe ukwa ku kulyo+ kabili alimupeela umupashi wa mushilo uo amulaile, na o napongolwela uyu mupashi pali ifwe. Kanshi uyu umupashi e o mulemona kabili e o muleumfwa. 34 Pantu Davidi taile ku muulu, lelo umwine alandile ati, ‘Yehova* aebele Shikulu ati: “Ikala ku kuboko kwandi ukwa ku kulyo, 35 mpaka nkalenge abalwani bobe bakabe nga kapuna ka kunyantapo amakasa yobe.’”+ 36 E ico, lekeni bonse aba mu ng’anda ya kwa Israele beshibe bwino bwino ukuti Lesa amulengele aba Shikulu+ kabili Kristu, uyu Yesu uo mwaipaile pa cimuti.”+

37 Nomba ilyo baumfwile ifi, balyumfwile ububi sana, kabili baipwishe Petro na batumwa bambi abati: “Mwe baume, bamunyinefwe, cinshi tufwile ukucita?” 38 Petro abebele ati: “Lapileni+ kabili mubatishiwe+ mwi shina lya kwa Yesu Kristu pa kuti mwelelwe imembu shenu,+ e lyo mwalapokelela umupashi wa mushilo uwa bupe fye. 39 Pantu balimulaile+ na bana benu na bonse ababa ukutali, bonse abo Yehova* Lesa wesu aketa.”+ 40 Kabili alibalondolwelele bwino ifyebo na fimbi ifingi, alebakonkomesha no kuti: “Talukeni kuli aba bantu ba muli iyi nkulo abacita ifyabipa,+ pa kuti mwikonaikila pamo nabo.” 41 E ico bonse abacetekele ifyo alelanda ne mitima yabo yonse balibatishiwe,+ kabili pali bulya bushiku abantu abalundilwe* ku basambi bali nalimo 3,000.+ 42 Kabili balebika amano ku fyalesambilisha abatumwa, baleba pamo,* baleliila pamo ifya kulya,+ kabili baali no mute wa kupepa.+

43 E ico abantu bonse balyumfwile umwenso, kabili abatumwa balecita ifipesha amano ifingi ne fishibilo ifingi.+ 44 Bonse abasumine baali pamo, kabili fyonse ifyo bakwete fyali fya bonse, 45 kabili baleshitisha impanga ne fintu fimbi ifyo bakwete+ e lyo ba-akanya abantu indalama isho balesangamo, ukulingana ne fyo cila muntu alekabila.+ 46 Kabili cila bushiku baleba pe tempele no mutima umo, baleliila ifya kulya mu mayanda ayapusanapusana kabili balepeelana ifya kulya ninshi balesekelela nga nshi. Balecita fyonse ne mitima ya cishinka, 47 balelumbanya Lesa kabili abantu bonse balibatemenwe. Cila bushiku Yehova* alelundako kwi bumba lyabo abalepusuka.+
