Acts 5
1 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property.
Waaliwo omusajja erinnya lye Ananiya ne mukyala we Safira, n’atunda ebibye
2 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.
ne yeeterekerako ku muwendo, mukazi we naye ng’amanyi, n’aleetako kitundu butundu n’akiteeka ku bigere by’abatume.
3 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?
Naye Peetero n’agamba Ananiya nti, “Ananiya, lwaki Setaani ajjudde mu mutima gwo, n’okulimba n’olimba Mwoyo Mutukuvu ne weeterekerako ku muwendo gw’ennimiro?
4 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!”
Teyali yiyo? Era bwe yamala okutundibwa, teyali mu buyinza bwo? Lwaki ekikolwa ekyo kikujjidde mu mutima gwo? Tolimbye bantu wabula olimbye Katonda.”
5 On hearing these words, Ananias fell down and died. And great fear came over all who heard what had happened.
Ananiya olwawulira ebigambo ebyo n’agwa eri n’afiirawo! Bonna abaawulira ebyo ne bakwatibwa entiisa ya maanyi.
6 Then the young men stepped forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.
Abavubuka ne bayimuka ne bamuzinga, ne bamutwala ne bamuziika.
7 About three hours later his wife also came in, unaware of what had happened.
Bwe waali wayiseewo essaawa nga ssatu, mukyala we naye n’ayingira, kyokka nga tategedde bibaddewo.
8 “Tell me,” said Peter, “is this the price you and your husband got for the land?” “Yes,” she answered, “that is the price.”
Peetero n’amubuuza nti, “Mbuulira, omuwendo guno gwe gwo gwe mwaggya mu nnimiro gye mwatunda?” Omukyala n’addamu nti, “Yee, gwe guugwo.”
9 “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.”
Awo Peetero n’amugamba nti, “Lwaki mwateesezza okukema Omwoyo wa Mukama? Laba, ebigere by’abo abaziise balo biri ku mulyango naawe bagenda kukutwala.”
10 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.
Amangwago n’agwa wansi ku bigere bya Peetero n’afiirawo. Abavubuka bwe baayingira ne bamusanga ng’afudde ne bamutwala ne bamuziika okuliraana bba.
11 And great fear came over the whole church and all who heard about these events.
Entiisa ey’amaanyi n’ebuna Ekkanisa yonna na buli muntu eyawulira ebigambo ebyo.
12 The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people, and with one accord the believers gathered together in Solomon’s Colonnade.
Abatume ne baba n’omwoyo gumu ne bakuŋŋaananga mu kisasi kya Sulemaani, ne bakola ebyamagero bingi mu bantu.
13 Although the people regarded them highly, no one else dared to join them.
So ne wataba n’omu ku balala eyayaŋŋanga okubeegattako, newaakubadde ng’abantu bonna baabasiima nnyo.
14 Yet more and more believers were brought to the Lord—large numbers of both men and women.
Abakkiriza bangi abasajja n’abakazi ne beeyongeranga okwegatta ku Mukama waffe.
15 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.
Abantu ne baleeta abalwadde baabwe ku nguudo z’omu kibuga, ne babagalamizanga ku butanda ne ku bikeeka, ekisiikirize kya Peetero kibatuukeko ng’azze.
16 Crowds also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those tormented by unclean spirits, and all of them were healed.
Ebibiina ne biva mu bibuga ebiriraanye Yerusaalemi, ne baleeta abalwadde n’abaaliko baddayimooni, bonna ne bawonyezebwa.
17 Then the high priest and all his associates, who belonged to the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. They went out
Awo Kabona Asinga Obukulu, n’abo abaali naye ab’omu kibiina ky’Abasaddukaayo ne bajjula obuggya.
18 and arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail.
Ne bakwata abatume ne babateeka mu kkomera ly’abantu bonna.
19 But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out, saying,
Naye mu kiro, malayika wa Mukama n’ajja n’aggulawo enzigi z’ekkomera n’abafulumya,
20 “Go, stand in the temple courts and tell the people the full message of this new life.”
n’abagamba nti, “Mugende muyimirire mu Yeekaalu mutegeeze abantu bonna ebigambo eby’obulamu buno.”
21 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.
Bwe baawulira ebyo ne bayingira mu Yeekaalu mu matulutulu, ne bayigiriza. Kabona Asinga Obukulu ne be yali nabo ne bajja ne batuuza Olukiiko Olukulu olw’abakulu b’abaana ba Isirayiri, ne balyoka batuma mu kkomera okuleeta abasibe babawozese.
22 But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there. So they returned with the report:
Naye abaweereza bwe baatuuka mu kkomera tebaabasangamu. Ne bakomawo ne bategeeza Olukiiko Olukulu
23 “We found the jail securely locked, with the guards posted at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.”
nga bagamba nti, “Tusanze enzigi z’ekkomera nga nsibe n’abakuumi bonna n’abaserikale nga bayimiridde ku nzigi; naye bwe tuziggudde, tetusanzeemu muntu n’omu.”
24 When the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard this account, they were perplexed as to what was happening.
Awo omukulu w’abaserikale ba Yeekaalu awamu ne bakabona abakulu bwe baawulira ebyo ne basamaalirira nga beewuunya ebintu ebyo gye binaakoma.
25 Then someone came in and announced, “Look, the men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people!”
Omuntu omu n’ajja n’abategeeza nti, “Abasajja be mwasibye mu kkomera bali eri mu Yeekaalu bayigiriza bantu.”
26 At that point, the captain went with the officers and brought the apostles—but not by force, for fear the people would stone them.
Awo omukulu w’abaserikale ba Yeekaalu, n’agenda n’abaserikale ne babaleeta, si lwa maanyi, nga batya abantu okwegugunga n’okukuba abaserikale amayinja.
27 They brought them in and made them stand before the Sanhedrin, where the high priest interrogated them.
Awo abatume bwe baaleetebwa, ne bayimirira mu maaso g’Olukiiko Olukulu, Kabona Asinga Obukulu n’ababuuza
28 “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.”
ng’agamba nti, “Tetwabalagira obutayigirizanga mu linnya eryo; naye laba mujjuzizza Yerusaalemi okuyigiriza kwammwe, era mumaliridde okutuleetako omusaayi gw’omuntu oyo.”
29 But Peter and the other apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than men.
Naye Peetero n’abatume ne baddamu nti, “Kitugwanira okugondera Katonda okusinga okugondera abantu.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had killed by hanging Him on a tree.
Katonda wa bajjajjaffe yazuukiza Yesu, gwe mwatta nga mumuwanise ku muti.
31 God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior, in order to grant repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel.
Oyo Katonda n’amugulumiza okubeera Omulangira era Omulokozi, abeerenga ku mukono gwe ogwa ddyo, okuwa Isirayiri omukisa ogw’okwenenya n’okusonyiyibwa ebibi.
32 We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.”
Ffe ne Mwoyo Mutukuvu Katonda gw’awa abo abamugondera tuli bajulira ba bigambo ebyo.”
33 When the Council members heard this, they were enraged, and they resolved to put the apostles to death.
Awo ab’Olukiiko bwe baawulira ebigambo ebyo ne bajjula obusungu bungi n’okwagala ne baagala okubatta.
34 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.
Naye omu ku abo abaali mu Lukiiko Olukulu, Omufalisaayo erinnya lye Gamalyeri, eyali omunnyonnyozi w’amateeka era nga n’abantu bamussaamu nnyo ekitiibwa, n’alagira abatume bagira bafulumizibwa ebweru.
35 “Men of Israel,” he said, “consider carefully what you are about to do to these men.
N’alyoka agamba banne ab’omu Lukiiko nti: “Abasajja Abayisirayiri, mwegendereze nnyo abasajja abo ne kye mugenda okubakolako.
36 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.
Emabegako waaliwo omusajja erinnya lye Syuda, yasituka era n’alowoozesa abantu nti muntu mukulu, era abantu ng’ebikumi bina ne bamugoberera; naye yattibwa abaali bamugoberera ne basaasaana ne bikoma awo.
37 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.
Oyo bwe yavaawo ne wasituka Yuda Omugaliraaya mu biseera eby’okubala abantu. Abantu bangi ne bamugoberera, kyokka bwe yattibwa, abagoberezi be ne basaasaana ne bataddayo kuwulikikako.
38 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.
Noolwekyo kye ŋŋamba kye kino nti, Abasajja bano mubaleke bagende! Kubanga, obanga enteekateeka eno y’abantu ejja kukoma.
39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them. You may even find yourselves fighting against God.”
Naye obanga biva eri Katonda, temuyinza kubaziyiza, kubanga mujja kuba nga mulwanyisa Katonda.” Ne bamuwulira.
40 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.
Abatume ne bayitibwa, bwe baamala okukubibwa ne balabulwa obutaddayo kwogera mu linnya lya Yesu, ne babata.
41 The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.
Abatume ne bava mu Lukiiko nga basanyuka kubanga baasaanyizibwa okukwatibwa ensonyi n’okubonaabona olw’Erinnya.
42 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.
Awo ne bayigirizanga mu Yeekaalu buli lunaku ne mu maka g’abantu, nga babuulira Yesu.
