Acts 5
1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
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 also having knowledge of it; and brought a certain part, and laid 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 did Satan fill thy heart that thou shouldst lie to the Holy Spirit, and 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 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.
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 Ananias, hearing these words, fell down, and expired. And great fear came on all that heard of it.
Mgbe Ananayas nụrụ okwu ndị a, ọ dara nʼala nwụọ, egwu jidekwara ndị niile nụrụ ihe mere.
6 And the young men arose, and wrapt him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
Ụmụ okorobịa ndị nọ ebe ahụ batara jiri akwa kee ozu ya bupụ ya ga lie.
7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
Mgbe ihe dịka awa atọ gasịrị, nwunye ya batakwara, ma ọ matabeghị ihe mere di ya.
8 Peter said to her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yes, for so much.
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 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.
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 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.
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 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon all that heard of these things.
Oke egwu tụrụ nzukọ ahụ niile, tụọkwa ndị niile nụrụ akụkọ banyere ihe ndị a.
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.
Ndị ozi ahụ rụkwara ọrụ ebube na ọrụ ịrịbama dị ukwuu nʼetiti ndị mmadụ. Ha niile na-ezukọ na mgbe ụlọ Solomọn.
13 But of the rest no one dared to join himself to them. But the people highly honored them;
O nweghị onye ọbụla kwere iso ha ọzọ, nʼagbanyeghị na ọtụtụ mmadụ na-asọpụrụ ha.
14 and more and more were believers added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women;
Ma otu ọ dị, ọtụtụ ndị nwoke na ndị nwanyị kwere nʼOnyenwe anyị sonyere ha.
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.
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 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.
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 all that were with him, which is the sect of the Sadducees, rose up and were filled with indignation,
Mgbe ahụ onyeisi nchụaja na ndị otu ya so nʼotu ndị Sadusii ka ekworo jupụtara obi.
18 and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in the public prison.
Ha jidere ndị ozi a tụba ha nʼụlọ mkpọrọ nke ọha mmadụ.
19 But an angel of the Lord in the night opened the prison-doors, and brought them forth and said,
Ma nʼoge abalị mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị meghere ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ mkpọrọ ahụ kpọpụta ha sị,
20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of 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 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.
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 officers that came did not find them in the prison; and they returned and brought word,
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 prison we found shut in all security and the keepers standing at the doors: but when we opened them, we found no one within.
“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 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.
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 But one came and brought them word, Lo! the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple and 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 went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence, that they might not be stoned; for they feared 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 having brought them, they set them before the council. And the high-priest questioned them,
Mgbe a kpụtara ha, e mere ka ha guzoro nʼihu ọgbakọ ndị Sanhedrin, onyeisi nchụaja jụrụ ha ajụjụ,
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.
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 answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
Pita na ndị ozi ndị ọzọ zara sị, “Anyị ga-erubere Chineke isi ọ bụghị mmadụ.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew by hanging him on a cross;
Chineke nna nna anyị a kpọlitela Jisọs site nʼọnwụ bụ onye ahụ unu gburu site nʼịkpọgide ya nʼelu osisi.
31 him hath God exalted by his right hand, as a Leader and Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, 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 his witnesses of these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit which God hath given to those who obey him.
Anyị bụ ndị ama nke ihe ndị a, Mmụọ Nsọ onye Chineke nyere ndị na-erubere ya isi bụkwa onyeama.”
33 But when they heard this, they were filled with rage, and were resolving to kill them.
Mgbe ha nụrụ nke a, ọ gbawara ha obi, ha chọọ igbu ha.
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,
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 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.
Ọ sịrị ha, “Ndị Izrel, leziekwanụ anya nke ọma ihe unu na-achọ ime ndị a.
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.
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 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.
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, Refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this design or this work be of men, it will come to nought;
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 be of God, ye will not be able to overthrow them; lest haply ye be found also 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 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.
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 They therefore went away from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame in behalf of that 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 in houses, they ceased not to teach, and to publish the glad tidings concerning Jesus the Christ.
Ụbọchị niile, nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu ma nʼụlọ ndị mmadụ ha na-akụzi ma na-ekwusa oziọma na Jisọs bụ Kraịst ahụ.
