Acts 5
1 But a man named Ananias who, with his wife Sapphira, sold a farm of his,
Waaliwo omusajja erinnya lye Ananiya ne mukyala we Safira, n’atunda ebibye
2 kept back some of the purchase price, with the connivance of his wife. He brought only a part 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 "Ananias," said Peter, "why has Satan so filled your heart that you are lying to the Holy Spirit, and keeping back part of the price of 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 "While it remained unsold, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was not the price at your own disposal? How could you conceive this act in your heart? You have not lied unto men, but unto God."
Teyali yiyo? Era bwe yamala okutundibwa, teyali mu buyinza bwo? Lwaki ekikolwa ekyo kikujjidde mu mutima gwo? Tolimbye bantu wabula olimbye Katonda.”
5 As Ananias heard these words he fell down and expired, and all who heard were awe-struck.
Ananiya olwawulira ebigambo ebyo n’agwa eri n’afiirawo! Bonna abaawulira ebyo ne bakwatibwa entiisa ya maanyi.
6 But the younger men rose, wrapped the body up, and carried it out to bury it.
Abavubuka ne bayimuka ne bamuzinga, ne bamutwala ne bamuziika.
7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened;
Bwe waali wayiseewo essaawa nga ssatu, mukyala we naye n’ayingira, kyokka nga tategedde bibaddewo.
8 and Peter said to her, "Tell me if you got so much for the land." "Yes," she said, "so much."
Peetero n’amubuuza nti, “Mbuulira, omuwendo guno gwe gwo gwe mwaggya mu nnimiro gye mwatunda?” Omukyala n’addamu nti, “Yee, gwe guugwo.”
9 "Why was it," said Peter, "that you both agreed to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Lo, the feet of those who buried your husband are at the door, and they shall carry you out."
Awo Peetero n’amugamba nti, “Lwaki mwateesezza okukema Omwoyo wa Mukama? Laba, ebigere by’abo abaziise balo biri ku mulyango naawe bagenda kukutwala.”
10 Instantly she fell down at his feet and expired, and when the young men came in they found her dead, and carried her out and buried 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 fell on all the church and upon all who had heard it.
Entiisa ey’amaanyi n’ebuna Ekkanisa yonna na buli muntu eyawulira ebigambo ebyo.
12 Many signs and wonders continued to be wrought among the people by the hands of the apostles, and by common consent they all would meet in Solomon’s Porch,
Abatume ne baba n’omwoyo gumu ne bakuŋŋaananga mu kisasi kya Sulemaani, ne bakola ebyamagero bingi mu bantu.
13 but none of the rest dared to associate with them.
So ne wataba n’omu ku balala eyayaŋŋanga okubeegattako, newaakubadde ng’abantu bonna baabasiima nnyo.
14 Yet the people continued to hold them in high honor, and more and more believers in the Lord were joining them, both men and women.
Abakkiriza bangi abasajja n’abakazi ne beeyongeranga okwegatta ku Mukama waffe.
15 In consequence people would even bring out their sick into the streets, and place them upon beds and pallets as Peter was passing, that at least his shadow might fall upon some of them.
Abantu ne baleeta abalwadde baabwe ku nguudo z’omu kibuga, ne babagalamizanga ku butanda ne ku bikeeka, ekisiikirize kya Peetero kibatuukeko ng’azze.
16 The people of the towns near Jerusalem also continued to come in crowds, bringing their sick and those who were harried 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 This aroused bitter indignation among the high priest and his followers who were of the sect of the Sadducees,
Awo Kabona Asinga Obukulu, n’abo abaali naye ab’omu kibiina ky’Abasaddukaayo ne bajjula obuggya.
18 and they apprehended the apostles, and threw them into the public prison.
Ne bakwata abatume ne babateeka mu kkomera ly’abantu bonna.
19 But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors during the night, and let them out.
Naye mu kiro, malayika wa Mukama n’ajja n’aggulawo enzigi z’ekkomera n’abafulumya,
20 He said to them, "Go take your stand in the Temple, and continue to tell the people all the words of this Life."
n’abagamba nti, “Mugende muyimirire mu Yeekaalu mutegeeze abantu bonna ebigambo eby’obulamu buno.”
21 When they heard this they went at early dawn to the Temple, and began to teach. Meantime when the high priest and his followers arrived, they summoned the Sanhedrin and all the Council of the Elders of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison to fetch 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 the officers who went did not find them in the prison; so they came back and reported,
Naye abaweereza bwe baatuuka mu kkomera tebaabasangamu. Ne bakomawo ne bategeeza Olukiiko Olukulu
23 "The prison we found locked fast, with the guards stationed at the doors, but when they were opened 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 officer in charge of the Temple and the high priest heard these words, they were perplexed concerning them, wondering what would come of it.
Awo omukulu w’abaserikale ba Yeekaalu awamu ne bakabona abakulu bwe baawulira ebyo ne basamaalirira nga beewuunya ebintu ebyo gye binaakoma.
25 And some one came and told them that the very men whom they had put in prison were standing in the Temple, and teaching to the people.
Omuntu omu n’ajja n’abategeeza nti, “Abasajja be mwasibye mu kkomera bali eri mu Yeekaalu bayigiriza bantu.”
26 On this the officer went off with his men and fetched them, not, however, by force, for they were afraid that 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 So they brought them, and stood them before the Sanhedrin. Then the high priest questioned them.
Awo abatume bwe baaleetebwa, ne bayimirira mu maaso g’Olukiiko Olukulu, Kabona Asinga Obukulu n’ababuuza
28 "We strictly forbade you, did we not, to teach about this Name, and here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us."
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 apostles said in reply.
Naye Peetero n’abatume ne baddamu nti, “Kitugwanira okugondera Katonda okusinga okugondera abantu.
30 "We must obey God rather than man. The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom you slew by hanging him on a tree.
Katonda wa bajjajjaffe yazuukiza Yesu, gwe mwatta nga mumuwanise ku muti.
31 "Him God has exalted at his right hand as Prince and Saviour, to give Israel repentance and forgiveness of sins.
Oyo Katonda n’amugulumiza okubeera Omulangira era Omulokozi, abeerenga ku mukono gwe ogwa ddyo, okuwa Isirayiri omukisa ogw’okwenenya n’okusonyiyibwa ebibi.
32 "And 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 they heard this they were infuriated, and were minded to kill the apostles;
Awo ab’Olukiiko bwe baawulira ebigambo ebyo ne bajjula obusungu bungi n’okwagala ne baagala okubatta.
34 but Gamaliel, a Pharisee, a teacher of the law, and held in honor by all the people, rose from his seat, and ordered the apostles to be put outside for a little while.
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 He said. "Men of Israel, take care what you are about to do with these men.
N’alyoka agamba banne ab’omu Lukiiko nti: “Abasajja Abayisirayiri, mwegendereze nnyo abasajja abo ne kye mugenda okubakolako.
36 "Years ago Theudas arose, claiming to be somebody, and was joined by about four hundred men. He was killed, and all of his followers dispersed and annihilated.
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 of Galilee rose up in the days of the enrollment, and drew away some of the people after him. He also 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 "And now, I say to you, hold aloof from these men. Let them alone; for if this scheme or work be of human origin it will come to nothing;
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 cannot put it down; you may even find yourselves fighting against God."
Naye obanga biva eri Katonda, temuyinza kubaziyiza, kubanga mujja kuba nga mulwanyisa Katonda.” Ne bamuwulira.
40 They gave in to him; and called the apostles in, and after flogging them, released them, with instructions not to speak about the name of Jesus.
Abatume ne bayitibwa, bwe baamala okukubibwa ne balabulwa obutaddayo kwogera mu linnya lya Yesu, ne babata.
41 So they left Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been deemed worthy to suffer disgrace for the sake of the Name;
Abatume ne bava mu Lukiiko nga basanyuka kubanga baasaanyizibwa okukwatibwa ensonyi n’okubonaabona olw’Erinnya.
42 but not for a single day did they desist from teaching and preaching in the Temple, and in private houses, the Gospel of Jesus, the Messiah.
Awo ne bayigirizanga mu Yeekaalu buli lunaku ne mu maka g’abantu, nga babuulira Yesu.
