Ndu Manzaniba 5
1 Ndhiri bayo ndi Ananias mba wama safira ba ban bubumba ri le.
Now a man called Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold some property.
2 Nda zi mbru nkle wa ba kpa`a (uwama ngame a to), nda nji mbru nkle ka zi ni za manzaniba.
He kept back some of the money he received for himself, and brought the rest to present to the apostles. His wife knew what he was doing.
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 asked him, “Ananias, why did you let Satan convince you to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back some of the money from the land you sold?
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”.
While you had the land, didn't it belong to you? And after you sold it, didn't you still have control over what you did with the money? Why did you decide to do this? You haven't lied to human beings, 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.
Hearing these words, Ananias fell down and died. Everyone who heard what happened was terrified.
6 Mri rize ba balu banwu cibi nda lo u nda ba u rhu ka rhu.
Some of the young men got up and wrapped him in a shroud. Then they 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 arrived, not knowing 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.”
Peter asked her, “Tell me, did you sell the land for this price?” “Yes, that was the price,” she replied.
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.”
Then Peter told her, “How could you agree together to swindle the Spirit of the Lord? Look, those who buried your husband are just returning, and they'll carry you out too!”
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.
Immediately she fell down dead at his feet. The young men came back in and found her dead, so they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
11 sisir rigra ma a ti eklisiya wawu ni biwa bawo kpi biyi”a.
Great fear spread through the whole church, as well as among everyone who heard what had happened.
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.
Many miraculous signs were performed among the people by the apostles. All the believers used to meet together in Solomon's Porch.
13 Mbru ndhi ba bana hini gbengble suron u huba hikina ama ndhiba ba to ba ni nfutu.
Nobody else dared to join them even though they were greatly respected.
14 Nikima, ndhi ba ta ye nda ni kpa Bau; ndi lilon baba mba gbugbuwu.
However, many men and women came to believe in the Lord.
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 those who were sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that as Peter passed by his shadow might fall on them.
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 from the towns around Jerusalem brought their sick and those afflicted by evil spirits. They were all healed.
17 Nikima, niko firist alu kri, ni wawu biwa ba heniwu'a (biwa ba he ni derika sadukiawa); ba shuni ngu,
However, the high priest and those with him (who were Sadducees) became very jealous and decided to intervene.
18 nda yo wo vu manzani ba ka tro ni buba tro. “
They arrested the apostles and threw 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 prison doors and led them out.
20 “Hi, kri nimi Haikali ni tre ndi ndhiba wawu nitu lantre wu nu vriji”.
“Go to the Temple and tell the people everything about this new way of life!” he told them.
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.
They did as they were told and went into the Temple at around dawn and began teaching. Then the high priest and his followers called a council meeting with all the leaders of Israel. He sent for the apostles to be brought from prison.
22 Ofisa wa ba tonbarba hi ka waba hamani ko tro'a nda kima ye lha bawu.
But when the officials went to the prison they couldn't find the apostles so they went back and told the council,
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 prison all locked up, with guards at the doors. But when we had them open up, we couldn't find anyone 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.
Now when the captain of the Temple guards and the chief priests heard this they were totally baffled, and wondered what was going on.
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 said, “Look, the men you put in prison are right there in the Temple teaching 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.
So the captain went with his guards and brought them in, but did not use force because they were afraid that the people would stone them.
27 Niwa ba njiba ye'a ba zi ba shishi bi ninkon'a,
The apostles were brought in and made to stand in front of the council.
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.”
“Didn't we order you not to teach in this name?” the high priest demanded to know. “Now look—you've filled the whole of Jerusalem with your teaching, and you're trying to blame us for his death!”
29 Bitrus baba manzaniba ba sa ndi, kita ki hu tre irjhi zan tre ndhi.
But Peter and the apostles answered, “We have to obey God rather than men.
30 Irjhi ba timbu a nzu Yesu hi, wandi bi klo wuu ni kunkro.
The God of our forefathers raised Jesus from the dead—the one you killed by hanging him on a cross.
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 a position of honor at his right hand as Prince and Savior, as a way to bring repentance to Israel, and for the forgiveness of sins.
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 what happened, 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 heard this they were furious and wanted to kill them.
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 then one of the council members stood up to speak. He was Gamaliel, a Pharisee and a doctor of law who was respected by everyone. He ordered the apostles sent out for a short while.
35 Wa alu kri lha ni son ndi, “ndhi Israila, mal ya kpe wa bi tre bi ti ni ndhi biyi.
Gamaliel addressed the council: “Leaders of Israel, be careful what you plan 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 tried to make a name for himself, and about four hundred men joined him. He was killed and all who followed him were scattered and it 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.
Then after him Judas of Galilee came along at the time of the census, and he attracted some followers. He also died, and those who listened to him were dispersed.
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 current case I recommend that you leave these men alone, and just let them go. If what they are planning or what they are doing comes from their own human thinking, then it will be defeated.
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 comes from God, you won't be able to defeat them. You could 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.
They were convinced by what he said. So they called the apostles back in, had them whipped, and ordered them not to say anything in the name of Jesus. Then they let them go.
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 council, happy to be considered worthy to suffer shame for the name of Jesus.
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 they continued to teach and proclaim Jesus as the Messiah, in the Temple and from house to house.
