< Acts 5 >

1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sappirah, his wife, sold a possession,
Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ wetagwo Anania, marĩ hamwe na mũtumia wake Safira o nao nĩmendirie gĩcunjĩ gĩa gĩthaka kĩao.
2 and kept back part of the price, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part, and put it at the apostles' feet.
Anania agĩĩtigĩria mbeeca imwe, no icio ingĩ agĩcirehe na agĩciiga magũrũ-inĩ ma atũmwo, nake mũtumia wake Safira agĩkorwo nĩooĩ ũhoro ũcio wega.
3 But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
Nowe Petero akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Anania, nĩ kĩĩ ngoro yaku ĩiyũrĩtwo nĩ Shaitani ũguo, agatũma ũheenie Roho Mũtheru, na ũgetigĩria mbeeca imwe cia iria wendetie gĩthaka?
4 While you kept it, did not it remain your own? After it was sold, was not it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to people, but to God."
Rĩrĩa ũtarakĩendetie-rĩ, githĩ gĩtirarĩ gĩaku? Na thuutha wa gũkĩendia-rĩ, githĩ mbeeca itirakĩrĩ o ciaku wĩke nacio o ũrĩa ũkwenda? Ũreciiririe gwĩka ũguo nĩkĩ? Ti andũ ũheenetie, no nĩ Ngai.”
5 Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard it.
Rĩrĩa Anania aiguire ũguo-rĩ, akĩgũa thĩ na agĩkua. Nao andũ arĩa othe maiguire ũrĩa kwahaana makĩiyũrwo nĩ guoya.
6 The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.
Nao aanake magĩũka, makĩoha mwĩrĩ wake na cuka, makĩuumia nja na makĩũthika.
7 About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
Thuutha wa ta mathaa matatũ-rĩ, mũtumia wake agĩtoonya atekũmenya ũrĩa gwekĩkĩte.
8 Peter answered her, "Tell me whether you sold the land for so much." She said, "Yes, for so much."
Petero akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ta njĩĩra atĩrĩ, ici nĩcio mbeeca iria wee na Anania mũrendirie gĩthaka?” Nake mũtumia ũcio agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, nĩcio tũrendirie.”
9 But Peter asked her, "How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out."
Petero akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte mũrĩĩkanĩre mũgerie Roho wa Mwathani? Atĩrĩrĩ, magũrũ ma andũ arĩa maathika mũthuuriguo marĩ mũromo-inĩ, nĩmegũkuumia nja o nawe.”
10 She fell down immediately at his feet, and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.
O kahinda kau akĩgũa thĩ magũrũ-inĩ make, agĩkua. Nao aanake magĩtoonya, makĩmũkora akuĩte, makĩmuoya, magĩthiĩ, makĩmũthika hakuhĩ na mũthuuriwe.
11 Great fear came on the whole church, and on all who heard these things.
Naguo kanitha wothe, hamwe na andũ arĩa othe maiguire maũndũ macio makĩnyiitwo nĩ guoya mũnene.
12 By the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. They were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
Na rĩrĩ, atũmwo nĩmaringire ciama nyingĩ, na makĩonania morirũ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ. Nao andũ arĩa othe metĩkĩtie nĩmagomanaga hamwe Gĩthaku-inĩ gĩa Solomoni.
13 None of the rest dared to join them, however the people honored them.
Gũtirĩ mũndũ wacookire kũgeria gwĩturanĩra nao, o na gũtuĩka andũ nĩmamaheete gĩtĩĩo mũno.
14 More believers were added to the Lord, crowds of both men and women.
O na kũrĩ ũguo-rĩ, arũme na andũ-a-nja aingĩ nĩmetĩkirie Mwathani, naguo mũigana wao ũkĩongerereka.
15 They even carried out the sick into the streets, and put them on cots and mats, so that as Peter came by at the least his shadow would fall on some of them.
Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo, andũ nĩmareehaga andũ arĩa arũaru njĩra-inĩ, makamakomeria itanda na ibarĩ, nĩguo naarĩ amwe ao mahutio nĩ kĩĩruru gĩa Petero.
16 Crowds also came together from the cities around Jerusalem, bringing sick people, and those who were tormented by unclean spirits: and they were all healed.
Ningĩ andũ aingĩ nĩmonganaga hamwe moimĩte matũũra-inĩ marĩa maathiũrũrũkĩirie Jerusalemu, makareehaga andũ ao arĩa arũaru, na arĩa maanyariiragwo nĩ ngoma thũku, nao othe makahonio.
17 But the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy,
Na rĩrĩ, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene na andũ arĩa othe maakoragwo nake, arĩa maarĩ a thiritũ ya Asadukai, makĩiyũrwo nĩ ũiru.
18 and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in public custody.
Makĩnyiita atũmwo, makĩmaikia njeera ĩrĩa ya mũingĩ.
19 But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out, and said,
No ũtukũ-rĩ, mũraika wa Mwathani akĩhingũra mĩrango ya njeera, na akĩmoimia nja.
20 "Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life."
Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũrũgame hekarũ-inĩ, mwĩre andũ ũhoro wothe wa muoyo ũyũ mwerũ.”
21 When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and those who were with him, and called the council together, and all the elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
Na rĩrĩ, ruoro rũgĩtema magĩtoonya hekarũ-inĩ, na makĩambĩrĩria kũruta andũ o ta ũrĩa meerĩĩtwo. Rĩrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene na andũ arĩa maakoragwo nake maakinyire-rĩ, magĩcookanĩrĩria Kĩama, kĩũngano gĩa athuuri othe a Isiraeli, na magĩtũmana njeera atũmwo magĩĩrwo.
22 But the officers who came did not find them in the prison. They returned and reported,
No rĩrĩa thigari ciakinyire njeera-rĩ, itiamakorire kuo. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, magĩcookia ũhoro makĩmeera atĩrĩ,
23 "We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside."
“Twakora mĩrango ya njeera ĩrĩ mĩhinge wega, nao arangĩri marũgamĩte mĩrango-inĩ; no twamĩhingũra, tũtinakora mũndũ kũu thĩinĩ.”
24 Now when the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were very perplexed about them and what might become of this.
Rĩrĩa mũnene wa arangĩri a hekarũ na athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene maiguire ũhoro ũcio makĩmaka na makĩrigwo nĩ ũrĩa gũgũikara.
25 One came and told them, "Look, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people."
Hĩndĩ ĩyo hagĩũka mũndũ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ta rorai! Andũ arĩa mũraikirie njeera marũgamĩte hekarũ-inĩ makĩruta andũ.”
26 Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.
Maigua ũguo, mũnene wa arangĩri a hekarũ agĩthiĩ na anene a thigari ciake na makĩrehe atũmwo. Matiigana kũhũthĩra hinya, tondũ nĩmetigagĩra andũ matikamahũũre na mahiga nyuguto.
27 When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them,
Maarĩkia kũrehe atũmwo-rĩ, makĩmarũgamia mbere ya Kĩama nĩguo morio ciũria nĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene.
28 saying, "Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man's blood on us."
Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Githĩ tũtiramũkaanirie biũ mũtikarutane na rĩĩtwa rĩĩrĩ, no rĩu mũiyũrĩtie Jerusalemu ũrutani wanyu, na nĩmwĩrutanĩirie gũtũma tũcookererwo nĩ thakame ya mũndũ ũcio.”
29 But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than people.
Petero na atũmwo acio angĩ magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ no nginya twathĩkĩre Ngai gũkĩra gwathĩkĩra andũ!
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.
Ngai wa maithe maitũ nĩariũkirie Jesũ kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ, ũrĩa mworagire na ũndũ wa kũmwamba mũtĩ-igũrũ.
31 God exalted him with his right hand to be a Leader and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
Ngai nĩamũtũgĩririe akĩmũiga guoko-inĩ gwake kwa ũrĩo arĩ Mũthamaki na Mũhonokia nĩguo Isiraeli merire na marekerwo mehia.
32 We are witnesses of these things; and so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him."
Ithuĩ tũrĩ aira a maũndũ macio, nake Roho Mũtheru, ũrĩa Ngai aheete andũ arĩa mamwathĩkagĩra-rĩ, o nake nĩ mũira.”
33 But they, when they heard this, were furious, and wanted to kill them.
Rĩrĩa maiguire ũguo makĩrakara mũno makĩenda kũmooraga.
34 But one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law, honored by all the people, and commanded to put the men out for a little while.
No rĩrĩ, Mũfarisai wetagwo Gamalieli, mũrutani wa watho na watĩĩtwo nĩ andũ othe akĩrũgama Kĩama-inĩ, agĩathana atĩ andũ acio mambe moimio nja gwa kahinda kanini.
35 He said to them, "You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do.
Nake akĩĩra Kĩama atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya a Isiraeli, cũraniai wega ũrĩa mũratanya gwĩka andũ aya.
36 For before these days Todah rose up, making himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed, and came to nothing.
Ihinda rĩhĩtũku mũndũ wetagwo Theuda nĩeyumĩririe agĩĩtuuaga atĩ we nĩ mũndũ ma, na akĩgĩa na arũmĩrĩri ta magana mana. Nĩooragirwo, nao arũmĩrĩri aake othe makĩhurunjwo na ũhoro ũcio wothe ũgĩtuĩka wa tũhũ.
37 After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the enrollment, and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.
Thuutha wake, Judasi ũrĩa woimĩte Galili akĩĩyumĩria matukũ-inĩ ma kwĩyandĩkithia na agĩtongoria mbũtũ ya andũ nĩguo makararie watho. O nake akĩũragwo, na arũmĩrĩri aake othe makĩhurunjwo.
38 Now I tell you, withdraw from these men, and leave them alone. For if this counsel or this work is of human origin, it will be overthrown.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, igũrũ rĩkoniĩ ũhoro ũyũ ngũmũtaara atĩrĩ, tiganai na andũ aya! Marekeei mathiĩ! Nĩ ũndũ angĩkorwo muoroto kana ciĩko ciao ciumanĩte na ũmũndũ-rĩ, ũndũ ũcio nĩũgũthira.
39 But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them, and you would be found even to be fighting against God."
No angĩkorwo ũndũ ũyũ uumanĩte na Ngai, mũtingĩhota kũgirĩrĩria andũ aya; mũgwĩkora mũkĩhũũrana na Ngai.”
40 They agreed with him. Summoning the apostles, they beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
Nao magĩĩtĩkania na mĩario yake. Nao magĩĩta atũmwo matoonye makĩmahũũrithia iboko. Magĩcooka makĩmaatha matikaarie thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jesũ, magĩcooka makĩmarekereria mathiĩ.
41 They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the Name.
Nao atũmwo makiuma Kĩama-inĩ makenete tondũ wa ũrĩa maatuĩtwo aagĩrĩru a gũconorithio nĩ ũndũ wa Rĩĩtwa rĩu.
42 Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming that Jesus is the Christ.
Mũthenya o mũthenya, marĩ hekarũ-inĩ o na marĩ mĩciĩ-inĩ, matiigana gũtiga kũrutana na kũhunjia ũhoro ũcio mwega atĩ Jesũ nĩwe Kristũ.
