< Acts 5 >

1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira 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 having knowledge of it; and brought a certain part, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
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 did Satan fill thy heart that thou shouldst lie to the Holy Spirit, and 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 it remained, was it not thine own? And after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? Why didst thou conceive this thing in thy heart? Thou didst not lie to men, 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 And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down, and expired. And great fear came on all that heard of it.
Rĩrĩa Anania aiguire ũguo-rĩ, akĩgũa thĩ na agĩkua. Nao andũ arĩa othe maiguire ũrĩa kwahaana makĩiyũrwo nĩ guoya.
6 And the young men arose, and wrapt him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
Nao aanake magĩũka, makĩoha mwĩrĩ wake na cuka, makĩuumia nja na makĩũthika.
7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
Thuutha wa ta mathaa matatũ-rĩ, mũtumia wake agĩtoonya atekũmenya ũrĩa gwekĩkĩte.
8 Peter said to her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And 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 And Peter said to her, Why is it that ye agreed together to try the Spirit of the Lord? Lo! the feet of those who have buried thy husband are at the door, and they will carry thee 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 And she fell down immediately at his feet, and expired; and the young men, when they came in, found her dead, and 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 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon all that heard of these things.
Naguo kanitha wothe, hamwe na andũ arĩa othe maiguire maũndũ macio makĩnyiitwo nĩ guoya mũnene.
12 And many signs and wonders were wrought among the people by the hands of the apostles; and 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 But of the rest no one dared to join himself to them. But the people highly honored them;
Gũtirĩ mũndũ wacookire kũgeria gwĩturanĩra nao, o na gũtuĩka andũ nĩmamaheete gĩtĩĩo mũno.
14 and more and more were believers added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women;
O na kũrĩ ũguo-rĩ, arũme na andũ-a-nja aingĩ nĩmetĩkirie Mwathani, naguo mũigana wao ũkĩongerereka.
15 so that in the streets they brought out the sick, and laid them on beds and couches, in order that at least the shadow of Peter, as he passed, might overshadow 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 The multitude also belonging to the cities around came together to Jerusalem bringing the sick, and those plagued 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 and all that were with him, which is the sect of the Sadducees, rose up and were filled with indignation,
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 the public prison.
Makĩnyiita atũmwo, makĩmaikia njeera ĩrĩa ya mũingĩ.
19 But an angel of the Lord in the night opened the prison-doors, and brought them forth 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 And hearing this, they went into the temple at daybreak and taught. But the high-priest and they that were with him came and called together the council, and all the elders of the sons 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 that came did not find them in the prison; and they returned and brought word,
No rĩrĩa thigari ciakinyire njeera-rĩ, itiamakorire kuo. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, magĩcookia ũhoro makĩmeera atĩrĩ,
23 saying, The prison we found shut in all security and the keepers standing at the doors: but when we opened them, we found no one within.
“Twakora mĩrango ya njeera ĩrĩ mĩhinge wega, nao arangĩri marũgamĩte mĩrango-inĩ; no twamĩhingũra, tũtinakora mũndũ kũu thĩinĩ.”
24 And when the priest, and the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were at a loss concerning them, to what this would come.
Rĩrĩa mũnene wa arangĩri a hekarũ na athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene maiguire ũhoro ũcio makĩmaka na makĩrigwo nĩ ũrĩa gũgũikara.
25 But one came and brought them word, Lo! the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo hagĩũka mũndũ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ta rorai! Andũ arĩa mũraikirie njeera marũgamĩte hekarũ-inĩ makĩruta andũ.”
26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence, that they might not be stoned; for they feared the people.
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 And having brought them, they set them before the council. And the high-priest questioned them,
Maarĩkia kũrehe atũmwo-rĩ, makĩmarũgamia mbere ya Kĩama nĩguo morio ciũria nĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene.
28 saying, We strictly commanded you not to teach in this name, and lo! ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and mean to bring this man's blood upon 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 and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
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 ye slew by hanging him on a cross;
Ngai wa maithe maitũ nĩariũkirie Jesũ kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ, ũrĩa mworagire na ũndũ wa kũmwamba mũtĩ-igũrũ.
31 him hath God exalted by his right hand, as a Leader and Saviour, 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 And we are his witnesses of these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit which God hath 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 when they heard this, they were filled with rage, and were resolving to kill them.
Rĩrĩa maiguire ũguo makĩrakara mũno makĩenda kũmooraga.
34 But there stood up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, in high esteem with all the people, and commanded to put the men forth 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 and said to them [[of the council]], Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves as to what ye are about to do in respect to these men.
Nake akĩĩra Kĩama atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya a Isiraeli, cũraniai wega ũrĩa mũratanya gwĩka andũ aya.
36 For before these days arose Theudas, boasting himself 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 scattered, and came to nought.
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 arose Judas the Galilaean, in the days of the registering, and drew people away after him; he also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
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 And now I say to you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this design or this work be of men, it will come to nought;
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 be of God, ye will not be able to overthrow them; lest haply ye be found also fighting against God.
No angĩkorwo ũndũ ũyũ uumanĩte na Ngai, mũtingĩhota kũgirĩrĩria andũ aya; mũgwĩkora mũkĩhũũrana na Ngai.”
40 And they were persuaded by him; and having called the apostles, they beat them, and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.
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 went away from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame in behalf of that name;
Nao atũmwo makiuma Kĩama-inĩ makenete tondũ wa ũrĩa maatuĩtwo aagĩrĩru a gũconorithio nĩ ũndũ wa Rĩĩtwa rĩu.
42 and every day, in the temple, and in houses, they ceased not to teach, and to publish the glad tidings concerning Jesus 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.
