Ndu Manzaniba 5
1 Ndhiri bayo ndi Ananias mba wama safira ba ban bubumba ri le.
Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property.
2 Nda zi mbru nkle wa ba kpa`a (uwama ngame a to), nda nji mbru nkle ka zi ni za manzaniba.
With his wife’s full knowledge, he kept back some of the proceeds for himself, but brought a portion and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
3 Bitrus a tre ndi, “Ananias wu ti he ni du brij shusron me nda du, u tiche ni Ruhi Tsatsra ni kma mbru nkle bubua'a zi ni tume?
Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and withhold some of the proceeds from the land?
4 Niwa wuna rhihe u banle'a ana wumena, u niwa wu banle ana rhihe ni wome na? A nha yo kpeyi ni suron me? wuna tiche ni ndhi na, ama ni irjhi”.
Did it not belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? How could you conceive such a deed in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God!”
5 Niwo tre`a Ananias a ku rhoku u veri ma ka klekle, u biwa ba wo kpe yi ba ti sisiri kpukopme.
On hearing these words, Ananias fell down and died. And great fear came over all who heard what had happened.
6 Mri rize ba balu banwu cibi nda lo u nda ba u rhu ka rhu.
Then the young men stepped forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.
7 Niwa nton tra ati, uwama a riye, ana to ka ngye si grensi zren na.
About three hours later his wife also came in, unaware of what had happened.
8 Bitrus a tre niwu ndi, “Hla nitawu bi le ni bubumbi mba nitu kpe to yi?” A tre ndi “Ehh, nitu toki.”
“Tell me,” said Peter, “is this the price you and your husband got for the land?” “Yes,” she answered, “that is the price.”
9 Mle Bitrus alha niwu ndi, “Ahi ngyeti du yi zontu ni kpambi ndi tsra Ruhu Baci?, ya, za ndhi wa baka rhu lon me ba he ni kontra, ba banwu hi rhu.”
“How could you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord?” Peter replied. “Look, the feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.”
10 A kri ku rhoku ni za ma nda gbron vri ma wu kle. Niwa mir nzeba ba ri ye nimi ba to a que nda banwu rhu ka rhu ni kosan bei lonma.
At that instant she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
11 sisir rigra ma a ti eklisiya wawu ni biwa bawo kpi biyi”a.
And great fear came over the whole church and all who heard about these events.
12 ikpi gbugbuwu wa bana taba to ni son ba na ni chu tro nkankan ba kiya faru ni cikin ndi tawuri mazani ba. Ba ki wawumba ni trankon solomon.
The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people, and with one accord the believers gathered together in Solomon’s Colonnade.
13 Mbru ndhi ba bana hini gbengble suron u huba hikina ama ndhiba ba to ba ni nfutu.
Although the people regarded them highly, no one else dared to join them.
14 Nikima, ndhi ba ta ye nda ni kpa Bau; ndi lilon baba mba gbugbuwu.
Yet more and more believers were brought to the Lord—large numbers of both men and women.
15 Nda duba vu bi lilo thuka zi nitu nkon tu bubu kru ko ni bla krumba, ndi i dan Bitrus si zren zu, iwhi ma ni ku nitu bari mba.
As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, so that at least Peter’s shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by.
16 Kpandhi ngame ba ye rhi ni gbu biwa ba ne we were ni urishilima, ni bi lilo baba biwa meme brjhi loba, ba kpa si kpa mba
Crowds also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those tormented by unclean spirits, and all of them were healed.
17 Nikima, niko firist alu kri, ni wawu biwa ba heniwu'a (biwa ba he ni derika sadukiawa); ba shuni ngu,
Then the high priest and all his associates, who belonged to the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. They went out
18 nda yo wo vu manzani ba ka tro ni buba tro. “
and arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail.
19 Nikimame, niwa chu ati malaika u Baci a bwunko wu bubu tro'a nda njiba rhu ra, nda tha bawu ndi
But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out, saying,
20 “Hi, kri nimi Haikali ni tre ndi ndhiba wawu nitu lantre wu nu vriji”.
“Go, stand in the temple courts and tell the people the full message of this new life.”
21 Niwa ba wo tre yi a, ba ri hi ni haikalia tsra ni bwunble nda tsroba. I a ninkon firt a ye baba biwa baheni wu'a nda yo son shubi bi ninkon gbu baba datibai ndhi bi Israila wawumba, nda tonba hi ni ko tre duba hi nii manzani ba ye.
At daybreak the apostles entered the temple courts as they had been told and began to teach the people. When the high priest and his associates arrived, they convened the Sanhedrin—the full assembly of the elders of Israel—and sent to the jail for the apostles.
22 Ofisa wa ba tonbarba hi ka waba hamani ko tro'a nda kima ye lha bawu.
But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there. So they returned with the report:
23 “Kika to nkotraba baki ni tro vrenme, ni bi ki gben ba ni kontra. Ama niwa ki bwu ni ri, kina to ndior nimi na.
“We found the jail securely locked, with the guards posted at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.”
24 Ni wo tre yi, captin wu haikalia mba ninko first wawu, ba ku sisiri nitu mba, don kpe wa ni wu gon ma.
When the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard this account, they were perplexed as to what was happening.
25 Mle ndhiri a ye nda ye lha bawu ndi, “Ndhi wa bi vu sru ni ko tro ba kri si tero ndhi ni mi haikali.”
Then someone came in and announced, “Look, the men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people!”
26 Kaptin babamir binduma ba wru hi nda ka vu ba ye, hama ni gbiba ni gbeneblen, nitu ba ti sisiri ko ndhi ba ta ba ni tita.
At that point, the captain went with the officers and brought the apostles—but not by force, for fear the people would stone them.
27 Niwa ba njiba ye'a ba zi ba shishi bi ninkon'a,
They brought them in and made them stand before the Sanhedrin, where the high priest interrogated them.
28 Nikon first a tsra ba ni mye ndi, “we mha yi ndife yi ton du yi na tsro ni nde yi na, ama bi ka gbu urishilima ni tsro mbi ndi nison nji yi guyi ye sa nitumbu.”
“We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,” he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us responsible for this man’s blood.”
29 Bitrus baba manzaniba ba sa ndi, kita ki hu tre irjhi zan tre ndhi.
But Peter and the other apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than men.
30 Irjhi ba timbu a nzu Yesu hi, wandi bi klo wuu ni kunkro.
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had killed by hanging Him on a tree.
31 Irjhi a nzu u hon hi ni woko ko rhima na uren u tuchu mba wu kpachuwo, don du buw kon tuba ni mir Israila, nda wru latre mba lhe.
God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior, in order to grant repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel.
32 kita ki biwa ki to kpibiyi, ni ruhu tsatsra ngame, wandi Irjhi a nu bi wa ba hu tre ma'a.
We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.”
33 Niwa, bi ninko wa ba son'a da trea nfu a toba, u bata son wuu manzani ba.
When the Council members heard this, they were enraged, and they resolved to put the apostles to death.
34 Ama igu pharisawa ri wu nde ma hi Gamalial ndhi wu tsro doka, wandi ndhi wawu ba kpanyme ni wu'a, a lu kri ni minba nda ti gbuchu du manzani ba rhu dinko ni bawu wu ton fime ri.
But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a short time.
35 Wa alu kri lha ni son ndi, “ndhi Israila, mal ya kpe wa bi tre bi ti ni ndhi biyi.
“Men of Israel,” he said, “consider carefully what you are about to do to these men.
36 Kafi du vi biyi ye, Theudus a lu wru nda gbresan ndi wawu hi ndior, u ndhi bari, ba derinzia ba zontu hu. Ba wuu, duka biwa bata hu'a ba vra hi kankan ni zremba ngame a na ti tu na.
Some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men joined him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing.
37 Bay ki ma u, Juda wu Galile a lu kri ni vi wa ba bla ndhi nda gbron bari baka hu. wawu ngame a que kado u biwa bata hu'a ba vera hi kan kan.
After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census and drew away people after him. He too perished, and all his followers were scattered.
38 Zizan mi lhayiwu, rhu ni nkon ndhi biyi di don ba toome, idan shiri yo ko ndu yi, hi wundi ana kri gban me na nda vralhe.
So in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone. Let them go! For if their purpose or endeavor is of human origin, it will fail.
39 Anita ndu Irjhi, bina iya yi nasara ni ba na bi klna to bisi tsi ni Irjhimu.” Toki ba kpanyme ni tre ma.
But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them. You may even find yourselves fighting against God.”
40 Mle ba yo manzaniba ri ni son nda lhobatsi nda hla ndi du ba na tre ni nde Yesu na, nda du ba hi kpamba.
At this, they yielded to Gamaliel. They called the apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.
41 Ba rhu rhi ni son bi ninko'a ni takpe don ba he ni mi biwa ba mla duba ti ba ya nitu ndema.
The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.
42 Hu kima, chachu, ni mi haikali mba ni ko hi ni ko, ba zi tsro ndani d'bu ni lha njo ndi Yesu wawuyi hi Kristi.
Every day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ.
