Acts 5
1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, got money for his property,
Ma otu nwoke a na-akpọ Ananayas na nwunye ya bụ Safaịra rekwara ala nke ha.
2 And kept back part of the price, his wife having knowledge of it, and took the rest and put it at the feet of the Apostles.
Na nkwekọrịta ya na nwunye ya, o zoro ụfọdụ ego site nʼego ha retara nʼala ha ahụ, weta nke fọdụrụ bịa tọgbọ nʼụkwụ ndị ozi.
3 But Peter said, Ananias, why has the Evil One put it into your heart to be false to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
Pita sịrị, “Ananayas, gịnị mere ekwensu jiri jupụta obi gị mee ka ị ghaara mmụọ nsọ ụgha mgbe i zopuuru onwe gị ego site nʼime ego i retara nʼala gị?
4 While you had it, was it not your property? and after you had given it in exchange, was it not still in your power? how has this purpose come into your mind? you have been false, not to men, but to God.
Ọ bụghị gị nwe ala ahụ tupu e ree ya? Mgbe e rechara ya, ego e retara ya ọ bụghị nke gị, iji mee ka ị chọrọ? Gịnị mere i ji chee echiche ime ihe dị otu a? Ọ bụghị mmadụ ka ị ghaara ụgha kama ọ bụ Chineke.”
5 And at these words, Ananias went down on the earth, and his life went from him: and great fear came on all who were present.
Mgbe Ananayas nụrụ okwu ndị a, ọ dara nʼala nwụọ, egwu jidekwara ndị niile nụrụ ihe mere.
6 And the young men went and made ready his body, and took it out, and put it in the earth.
Ụmụ okorobịa ndị nọ ebe ahụ batara jiri akwa kee ozu ya bupụ ya ga lie.
7 And about three hours after, his wife, having no knowledge of what had taken place, came in.
Mgbe ihe dịka awa atọ gasịrị, nwunye ya batakwara, ma ọ matabeghị ihe mere di ya.
8 And Peter said to her, Give me an answer: was this amount of money the price of the land? And she said, Yes, it was.
Pita jụrụ ya, gwa m, “ọ bụ ego ole a ka gị na di gị retara ala ahụ?” Ọ sịrị, “E, ọ bụ ego ole ahụ ka anyị retara ya.”
9 But Peter said to her, Why have you made an agreement together to be false to the Spirit of the Lord? See, the feet of the young men who have put the body of your husband in the earth, are at the door, and they will take you out.
Pita sịrị ya, “Gịnị mere unu jiri kpebie ịnwa Mmụọ nke Onyenwe anyị ọnwụnwa? Gee ntị, nzọ ụkwụ ndị buuru di gị gaa lie nọ nʼọnụ ụzọ. Ha ga-ebupụkwa gị.”
10 And straight away she went down at his feet, and her life went from her: and the young men came in and saw her dead, and they took her out and put her in the earth with her husband.
Nʼotu oge ahụ ọ dara nʼala nʼụkwụ ya, nwụọ, ụmụ okorobịa ahụ liri di ya batakwara chọpụta na ọ nwụọla, buru ya pụọ gaa lie ya nʼakụkụ di ya.
11 Then great fear came on all the church and on all who had knowledge of these things.
Oke egwu tụrụ nzukọ ahụ niile, tụọkwa ndị niile nụrụ akụkọ banyere ihe ndị a.
12 Now a number of signs and wonders were done among the people by the hands of the Apostles; and they were all together in Solomon's covered way.
Ndị ozi ahụ rụkwara ọrụ ebube na ọrụ ịrịbama dị ukwuu nʼetiti ndị mmadụ. Ha niile na-ezukọ na mgbe ụlọ Solomọn.
13 The others, in fear, kept back from joining them: but the people made much of them;
O nweghị onye ọbụla kwere iso ha ọzọ, nʼagbanyeghị na ọtụtụ mmadụ na-asọpụrụ ha.
14 And a great number of men and women had faith, and were joined to the Lord;
Ma otu ọ dị, ọtụtụ ndị nwoke na ndị nwanyị kwere nʼOnyenwe anyị sonyere ha.
15 And they even took into the streets people who were ill, and put them on beds, so that when Peter went by, some of them might be in his shade.
Nʼihi nke a, ndị mmadụ bupụtara ndị ọrịa nʼokporoụzọ nibe ha nʼute na ihe ndina, ka ọ ga-abụ mgbe Pita na-agafe onyinyo ya ga-adakwasị ụfọdụ nʼime ha.
16 And numbers of people came together from the towns round about Jerusalem, with those who were ill and those who were troubled with unclean spirits: and they were all made well.
Igwe mmadụ zukọtara site nʼobodo ndị dị Jerusalem gburugburu. Ha butekwara ndị nrịa nrịa, na ndị mmụọ na-adịghị ọcha na-enye nsogbu, a gwọkwara ha niile.
17 But the high priest and those who were with him (the Sadducees) were full of envy,
Mgbe ahụ onyeisi nchụaja na ndị otu ya so nʼotu ndị Sadusii ka ekworo jupụtara obi.
18 And they took the Apostles and put them in the common prison.
Ha jidere ndị ozi a tụba ha nʼụlọ mkpọrọ nke ọha mmadụ.
19 But in the night an angel of the Lord, opening the doors of the prison, took them out and said,
Ma nʼoge abalị mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị meghere ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ mkpọrọ ahụ kpọpụta ha sị,
20 Go, take your place in the Temple and give the people all the teaching about this Life.
“Gaanụ, guzoronụ nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ gwa ndị mmadụ ozi niile nke ndụ ọhụrụ a.”
21 And hearing this, they went into the Temple at dawn, and were teaching. But the high priest and those who were with him got together the Sanhedrin and the representatives of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to get them.
Mgbe ha nụrụ nke a, nʼisi ụtụtụ, ha banyere nʼụlọnsọ ukwu malite izi ihe. Ma mgbe onyeisi nchụaja na ndị soo ya bịarutere, ha kpọrọ nzukọ ndị Sanhedrin nke bụ ọgbakọ jikọtara ndị okenye Izrel niile. Ha zipụrụ ozi ka e site nʼụlọ mkpọrọ kpụta ha.
22 But the men who were sent saw that they were not in the prison, and came back with the news,
Ma mgbe ndị ahụ ha zipụrụ ruru nʼụlọ mkpọrọ, ha ahụghị ndị ozi ahụ. Ha lọghachiri azụ kọọrọ ndị ọgbakọ ahụ ihe ha hụrụ,
23 Saying, The doors of the prison were safely shut, and the keepers were at the doors, but when they were open, there was nobody inside.
“Anyị hụrụ ka a kpọchiziri ụlọ mkpọrọ ahụ nke ọma, ndị nche guzokwa nʼọnụ ụzọ ya. Ma mgbe anyị meghere ụlọ mkpọrọ ahụ, anyị ahụghị onye ọbụla nʼime ya.”
24 Now, at these words, the captain of the Temple and the chief priests were greatly troubled about what might be the end of this business.
Mgbe onyeisi ndị agha na-eche ụlọnsọ ukwu na ndịisi nchụaja nụrụ okwu ndị a, ọ gbara ha gharịị, ha na-eche ihe nke a ga-apụta.
25 And someone came and said to them, The men, whom you put in prison, are in the Temple teaching the people.
Nʼotu oge ahụ, otu onye gbabatara gwa ha, “Leenụ! Ndị ahụ unu tụbara nʼụlọ mkpọrọ guzo ugbu a nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu na-ezi ndị mmadụ ihe.”
26 Then the captain and some of the police went and took them, but not violently, for fear that they might be stoned by the people.
Ngwangwa, onyeisi agha na ndị agha ya gara nʼụlọnsọ ahụ jide ndị ozi ahụ ma kpụta ha, ma ha ejighị ike mee nke a nʼihi na ha tụrụ egwu na ndị mmadụ ga-atụ ha nkume.
27 And they took them into the Sanhedrin, and the high priest said to them,
Mgbe a kpụtara ha, e mere ka ha guzoro nʼihu ọgbakọ ndị Sanhedrin, onyeisi nchụaja jụrụ ha ajụjụ,
28 We gave you very clear orders not to give teaching in this name: and now Jerusalem is full of your teaching, and you are attempting to make us responsible for this man's death.
sị, “Ọ bụ anyị adọghị unu aka na ntị ka unu kwụsị ikuzi ihe nʼaha a; ma unu emeela ka ozizi unu jupụta Jerusalem niile kpebiekwa ime ka ọbara nwoke a dịrị anyị nʼisi.”
29 But Peter and the Apostles, answering, said, We have to do the orders of God, not of man.
Pita na ndị ozi ndị ọzọ zara sị, “Anyị ga-erubere Chineke isi ọ bụghị mmadụ.
30 The God of our fathers gave Jesus back to life, whom you had put to death, hanging him on a tree.
Chineke nna nna anyị a kpọlitela Jisọs site nʼọnwụ bụ onye ahụ unu gburu site nʼịkpọgide ya nʼelu osisi.
31 Him God has put on high at his right hand, as a Ruler and a Saviour, to give to Israel a change of heart and forgiveness of sins.
Chineke ebuliela ya elu nʼaka nri nke ya onwe ya dị ka Ọkpara eze na Onye nzọpụta, ka o nwee ike inye ndị Izrel niile nchegharị na mgbaghara mmehie.
32 And we are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who keep his laws.
Anyị bụ ndị ama nke ihe ndị a, Mmụọ Nsọ onye Chineke nyere ndị na-erubere ya isi bụkwa onyeama.”
33 But when these words came to their ears, they were cut to the heart, and had a mind to put them to death.
Mgbe ha nụrụ nke a, ọ gbawara ha obi, ha chọọ igbu ha.
34 But one of the Sanhedrin, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a man of learning in the law, of whom all the people had a high opinion, got up and made a suggestion for the men to be put outside for a little time.
Ma otu onye nʼime ha bụ onye Farisii, bụrụkwa onye ozizi iwu a na-asọpụrụ, aha ya bụ Gamaliel, biliri ọtọ nʼetiti ọgbakọ ahụ, nye iwu ka a kpọpụ ndị ozi ahụ nʼezi nwa oge nta.
35 And he said to them, Men of Israel, take care what you do about these men.
Ọ sịrị ha, “Ndị Izrel, leziekwanụ anya nke ọma ihe unu na-achọ ime ndị a.
36 For before this there was Theudas, who said he was someone important, to whom about four hundred men gave their support: he was put to death, and his band was broken up and came to nothing.
Nʼoge gara aga Teodas pụtara na-egosi na ya bụ onye pụrụ iche, ihe dịka narị mmadụ anọ sokwara ya, mgbe e gburu ya, ndị niile sooro ya gbasasịrị ihe niile a kwụsịkwa.
37 After this man, there was Judas of Galilee, at the time of the numbering, and some of the people went after him: he was put to death, and all his supporters were put to flight.
Mgbe nke ya gasịrị, Judas onye Galili pụtakwara gosi onwe ya nʼoge a na-agụ ọnụọgụgụ mmadụ, o nwetakwara ndị sooro ya. Mgbe e gbukwara ya, ndị niile na-eso ya gbasasịrị.
38 And now I say to you, Do nothing to these men, but let them be: for if this teaching or this work is of men, it will come to nothing:
Ya mere, agwa m unu, hapụnụ ndị a ka ha laara onwe ha. Nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na ọrụ ha bụ ọrụ mmadụ, ọ ga-akwụsị mgbe na-adịghị anya.
39 But if it is of God, you will not be able to overcome them, and you are in danger of fighting against God.
Ma ọ bụrụ na o sitere nʼaka Chineke, unu agaghị enwe ike ịkwụsị ndị ikom ndị a, unu ga-achọpụta naanị na unu na-alụso Chineke ọgụ.”
40 And he seemed to them to be right: and they sent for the Apostles, and, after having them whipped and giving them orders to give no teaching in the name of Jesus, they let them go.
Ọgbakọ ahụ nabatara ndụmọdụ ya. Ha kpọrọ ndị ozi ahụ pịa ha ihe, nyekwa ha iwu ka ha kwụsị ikwu okwu nʼaha Jisọs, hapụkwa ha ka ha laa.
41 So they went away from the Sanhedrin, happy to undergo shame for the Name.
Mgbe ha hapụrụ ọgbakọ ahụ, ha na-aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼihi na-agụnyere ha na ndị kwesiri ịnara mkparị nʼihi aha ya.
42 And every day, in the Temple and privately, they went on teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.
Ụbọchị niile, nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu ma nʼụlọ ndị mmadụ ha na-akụzi ma na-ekwusa oziọma na Jisọs bụ Kraịst ahụ.
