Ndu Manzaniba 5
1 Ndhiri bayo ndi Ananias mba wama safira ba ban bubumba ri le.
NOW a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, had sold an estate,
2 Nda zi mbru nkle wa ba kpa`a (uwama ngame a to), nda nji mbru nkle ka zi ni za manzaniba.
and secreted a part of the price paid, his wife also being privy to the transaction, and he brought a part, 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?
But Peter said, O Ananias! why hath Satan filled thy heart that thou shouldst lie to the Holy Ghost, and secrete something from the price of the estate?
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”.
it remained unsold, was it not vested in thee? and when sold, was it not in thine own power? why then hast thou determined in thine heart to do this deed? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
5 Niwo tre`a Ananias a ku rhoku u veri ma ka klekle, u biwa ba wo kpe yi ba ti sisiri kpukopme.
Then Ananias, hearing those words, sunk down and expired: and great dread fell upon all who heard these things.
6 Mri rize ba balu banwu cibi nda lo u nda ba u rhu ka rhu.
Then the young men arose, and swathed him up, and carrying him out, buried him.
7 Niwa nton tra ati, uwama a riye, ana to ka ngye si grensi zren na.
Now it came to pass at the distance of about three hours, his wife also, not knowing what had passed, came in.
8 Bitrus a tre niwu ndi, “Hla nitawu bi le ni bubumbi mba nitu kpe to yi?” A tre ndi “Ehh, nitu toki.”
And Peter addressed her, Tell me, if ye sold the estate for so much? And she said, Yes, for so much.
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 said unto her, How is it that ye have conspired together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? see, the feet of them who have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
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.
Then she fell instantly at his feet, and expired: and the young men entering, found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her with her husband.
11 sisir rigra ma a ti eklisiya wawu ni biwa bawo kpi biyi”a.
And great awe fell on all the Church, and on all who heard these things.
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.
But by the hands of the apostles were many signs and miracles done among the people; (and they were all with one accord in the portico of Solomon.
13 Mbru ndhi ba bana hini gbengble suron u huba hikina ama ndhiba ba to ba ni nfutu.
But of the rest no man had the courage to unite himself with them: though the people extolled them.
14 Nikima, ndhi ba ta ye nda ni kpa Bau; ndi lilon baba mba gbugbuwu.
But believers on the Lord were abundantly added to them, multitudes, both of 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.
Insomuch that they carried out into the streets the sick, and laid them on beds and couches, that when Peter was coming by, if but even his shadow might pass over some of 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
Then came together also a multitude from the neighbouring cities to Jerusalem, bringing the sick, and those who were disturbed by unclean spirits; who were healed universally.
17 Nikima, niko firist alu kri, ni wawu biwa ba heniwu'a (biwa ba he ni derika sadukiawa); ba shuni ngu,
Then arose the high-priest, and all those who were connected with him, (which was the sect of the Sadducees, ) and were filled with zeal,
18 nda yo wo vu manzani ba ka tro ni buba tro. “
and laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
19 Nikimame, niwa chu ati malaika u Baci a bwunko wu bubu tro'a nda njiba rhu ra, nda tha bawu ndi
But the angel of the Lord by night opened the doors of the prison, and conducting them forth, said,
20 “Hi, kri nimi Haikali ni tre ndi ndhiba wawu nitu lantre wu nu vriji”.
Go, and taking your station in the temple, speak to the people all the words of this 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.
Having heard this therefore, they entered very early in the morning into the temple, and taught. But when the high-priest came, and those who were with him, they convoked the sanhedrim, and all the assembly of elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to bring them.
22 Ofisa wa ba tonbarba hi ka waba hamani ko tro'a nda kima ye lha bawu.
But the officers, on their arrival, found them not in the prison: and returning, informed them,
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.
saying; The prison indeed found we fast locked with all security, and the guards standing without, before the door: but when we opened it, we found no person within.
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 they heard these words, both the priest and captain of the temple and the chief priests were in the utmost perplexity concerning these things, what could be the meaning of it.
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 came a person and informed them, saying, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and 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.
Then went the captain, with the officers, and brought them; not forcibly, for they were afraid of the people, lest they should stone them.
27 Niwa ba njiba ye'a ba zi ba shishi bi ninkon'a,
But when they had conducted them, they placed them in the sanhedrim: and 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.”
saying, Did we not lay our strict injunction upon you, that you should not teach in this name? and, lo, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and would fain bring this man’s blood upon us.
29 Bitrus baba manzaniba ba sa ndi, kita ki hu tre irjhi zan tre ndhi.
Then Peter and the apostles answering said, 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 hath raised up Jesus, whom ye had killed, suspending 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.
Him hath God exalted at his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, to give repentance unto Israel, and remission of sins.
32 kita ki biwa ki to kpibiyi, ni ruhu tsatsra ngame, wandi Irjhi a nu bi wa ba hu tre ma'a.
And we are witnesses of these things; and the Holy Ghost also, which God hath 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.
But when they heard this, they were cut asunder as with a saw, and took counsel how to make away with 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.
Then arose a certain Pharisee, in the sanhedrim, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, held in high esteem by all the people, and ordered the apostles to be taken out for a little space;
35 Wa alu kri lha ni son ndi, “ndhi Israila, mal ya kpe wa bi tre bi ti ni ndhi biyi.
and he said unto them, Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves respecting these men, what ye mean to do to them.
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.
For before these days arose Theudas, saying that he himself was a singular personage: to whom a number of men, about four hundred, attached themselves: who was taken off; and as many as obeyed him, were dispersed, and 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.
And after him arose Judas the Galilean, in the days of the enrolment, and drew away a multitude of the populace after him: he also perished, and all, as many as obeyed 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.
And as to the matters now before you, I say unto you, Abstain from these men, and leave them to themselves: for if this design or this work be of men, it will come to nothing:
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 be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; and in that case would be found fighters 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.
And to him they assented: and calling in the apostles, after scourging them, they commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and dismissed 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.
Then they went rejoicing from the presence of the sanhedrim, that for his name’s sake, they had been counted worthy to suffer this injurious treatment.
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.
And all the day long in the temple, and from house to house, they never ceased teaching and preaching Jesus Christ.
