Acts 5
1 There was, however, a man named Ananias, who, with his wife Sapphira, sold some property,
Enoothong Ananias ngeh ih mih wasiit angta, nengnyi heh minuh Sapphira ih nyamka jaasiit sang nyuuta.
2 and, with her connivance, kept back some of the proceeds. He brought only a part and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
Eno nengnyi heh minuh roongwaan nyu ano ngun khooko ah tangthiin nyu ano heliphante loong asuh koh nyuuta.
3 ‘Ananias,’ Peter exclaimed, ‘how is it that Satan has so taken possession of your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit, and kept back a part of the money paid for the land?
Pitar ih Annania suh liita, “Esa Chiiala ngathong ni Soitaan ih tiim esuh tiit hu baat thuk halu ngun rukho ah tangthiin ansih no ah?
4 While it was unsold, was not it your own? And after it was sold, was not the money at your own disposal? How did you come to think of such a thing? You have lied, not to people, but to God!’
Maangsang di, nyaamka ah an lakbui angta; esang lih di ngun ah an lakbui angta. Eno, erah likhiik an tiimnge ih reelu? An ih mina tamokwaan hu—Rangte mokwaan hu!”
5 As Ananias heard these words, he fell down and expired; and everyone who heard of it was appalled.
Chaat damdam ih, Annania ah loongtiita; erah Ruurang chaatte loong ah rapne ih choota.
6 The young men got up, and, winding the body in a sheet, carried it out and buried it.
Jaaro loong ah wangrum ano, heh mang ah thooploop rumta, eno bengkaat rumta.
7 After an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
Koonta jom lidi, heh minuh ah tiim uh lajat thang ih nop wangta.
8 ‘Is it true,’ Peter asked, addressing her, ‘that you sold your land for such a sum?’ ‘Yes,’ she answered, ‘we did.’
Pitar ih erah nuh asuh we banchengta, “Baat thaak hang, set soomiwah ih hah sang tansih thaang ah erah than ju nih angta?” “Em,” “thoontang erah thanju angta” Erah nuh rah ih ngaak baatta.
9 Then Peter said, ‘How did you come to agree to provoke the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The footsteps of those who have buried your husband are at the door; and they will carry you out too.’
Erah thoidi Pitar ih erah nuh asuh liita, “Set soomiwah ih Teesu Chiiala ah tiim esuh thaak taari hansih? An miwah mang bengkaatte loong ah kaalu thong ni chapla, neng ih an uh dokpi ih kaat ho!”
10 Instantly Sapphira fell down at Peter’s feet and expired. On coming in, the young men found her dead; so they carried her out and buried her by her husband’s side.
Lakdamdam di Sapphira ah Pitar lak khoni loongtiita. Jaaro loong ah nopwang rum adi, heh mang ah japtup rum ano heh miwah reeni bengkaat suh dokpi kaat rumta.
11 The whole church and all who heard of these events were appalled.
Arah Ruurang chaatte nyia Kristaan loong ah rapne ih cho rumta.
12 Many signs and wonders continued to occur among the people, through the instrumentality of the apostles, whose custom it was to meet all together in the Colonnade of Solomon;
Kaamwah loong ah mih dung ni paatjaajih loong ah rapne ih mokah rumta. Kristaan loong Solomon nokka ngeh men rumta adi khoontong rumta.
13 but of the rest no one ventured to join them. On the other hand, the people were full of their praise,
Neng damdi wahote o uh tanaan roongtong rumta, erabah uh miloong ah ih neng tiit rapne ih seebaat rumta.
14 and still larger numbers, both of men and women, as they became believers in the Lord, were added to their number.
Enoothong minuh miwah, ehanhan ih jaat rum ano Teesu rangsoomte ih hoon rumta.
15 The consequence was that people would bring out their sick even into the streets, and lay them on mattresses and mats, in the hope that, as Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on someone of them.
Kaamwah loong ah ih paatjaajih loong noisok rum kano, khoisatte loong ah lam ni piikaat rumta, rukho ah juptheng ni rukho ah dam ni jupthiin wan rumta, erah langla lam nah Pitar daankhoom adoh heh laaphaang ih toom wiithuk ah ngeh ih thiinwan rumta.
16 Besides this, the inhabitants of the towns round Jerusalem flocked into the city, bringing with them their sick and those who were troubled by foul spirits; and they were cured everyone.
Jerusalem ko nawa miloong ah ih, khoisatte loong nyia chiithih laakhah ih paklakta loong ah deesiit suh siitwan rum taha.
17 At this the high priest was roused to action, and he and all his supporters (who formed the party of the Sadducees), moved by jealousy,
Enoothong Romwah phokhothoon nyia heh joon loong, neng damdi Sadusi nok hah roop rum ano kaamwah loong ah rapne ih miksuk rumta.
18 arrested the apostles, and had them placed in custody.
Eno kaamwah loong ah phaatak ni josak rumta.
19 An angel of the Lord, however, opened the prison doors at night and led them out.
Erah rangphe adi Teesu rangsah ih paakaalu ah daap kah ano kaamwah loong ah dokkhoom kaat thuk rum ano phanbaat rumta,
20 ‘Go,’ he said, ‘and stand in the Temple Courts, and tell the people the whole message of this new life.’
“Rangteenok nah kah anno miloong asuh roidong tiit ah baatkaat an”
21 When they heard this, they went at daybreak into the Temple Courts, and began to teach. The high priest and his party, on their arrival, summoned the High Council, including all the leaders of the people among the Israelites, and sent to the jail to fetch the apostles.
Heh jeng ah kap rum ano kaamwah loong ah ih rangkhano di Rangteenok ni phang nyootsoot karumta. Romwah Phokhothoon nyia heh joon loong ah ih Jehudi nok hah dowa mihak phokhoh loong ah Nokwah ngoongthum theng ni thumpoon rumta; eno kaamwah loong ah phaatak nawa poonwang thuk rumta.
22 But, when the officers got there, they did not find them in the prison; so they returned and reported that,
Enoothong neng toonsiitte loong ah taatkah rum ano, kaamwah loong ah phaatak ni amuh ang rumta, erah thoidi Nokwah ngoongthum theng ni ngaak baatkaat rumta.
23 while they had found the goal barred securely and the guards posted at the doors, yet, on opening them, they had not found anyone inside.
“Phaataak ni thok eno, kaasak ah rapniine ih sak arah angta, bante loong ah uh paakaalu ni chap rumta; eno kaalu ah daapsok eno nokmong ni o uh tajeeta!”
24 When the officer in charge at the Temple and the chief priests heard their story, they were perplexed about the apostles and as to what all this would lead to.
Erah ruurang ah chaat rum ano Romwah phokhoh nyia rangsoomnok dowa saahaap loong ah kaamwah loong ah tiim angla ngeh ih paatja rumta.
25 Presently, however, someone came and told them, that the men whom they had put in prison were actually standing in the Temple Courts, teaching the people.
Erah di mih wasiit wang ano baat rumta, “Boichaat thaak an! Phaataak ni sak tan loong ah ih bah Rangteenok ni nyootsoot rumha!”
26 Then, the officer went with his men and fetched the apostles – without using violence, for they were afraid of being stoned by the people –
Erah raangtaan ih saahaap wasiit ih heh mina loong ah siit ano kaamwah loong ah ngaak toonsiit kata. Mih ih jong ih pat ra cho ih, kaamwah loong ah labuthom thang ih siitwan rumta.
27 and then brought them before the Council. The high priest demanded an explanation from them.
Kaamwah loong ah Nokwah reeni siitwan rum ano, neng ngathong ni toonchap thuk rumta, eno Romwah Phokhoh ih cheng rumta.
28 ‘We gave you strict orders,’ he said, ‘not to teach in this name. Yet you have actually flooded Jerusalem with your teaching, and you want to make us responsible for the death of this man.’
“Sen suh heh mendoh nakkah nyootsoot an ngeh ih baat choi,” eno we dopjengta; “sokthaaak an sen loong ah ih tiimjih hoon han! Sen ih nyootsoot han ah Jerusalem hah noongrep ni puupa thuk lan, eno Jisu tek haat ah seng mat ih joot thuk suh liihan!”
29 To this Peter and the apostles replied, ‘We must obey God rather than people.
Pitar nyia heh kaamwah loong ah ih ngaakli rumta, “Seng ih Rangte jengkhaap kap theng, mina jengkhaap tah angka.
30 The God of our ancestors raised Jesus, whom you put to death by hanging him on a cross.
Jisu bangphak khoni tekrapbot tan lini, sengte sengwah Rangte ih tek nawa ngaakthing ih thukta.
31 It is this Jesus whom God has exalted to his right hand, to be a guide and a Saviour, to give Israel repentance and forgiveness of sins.
Rangte ih ngaak saatsiit ano Lamsiitte nyia mina Pangte toom ang ah ngeh ih jaawah ko ih tong thukla, eno Jerusalem mina loong suh neng rangdah sekthun thuksuh nyia biin anaan chosuh saapootse koh rumha.
32 And we are witness to the truth of this, and so is the Holy Spirit – the gift of God to those who obey him.’
Esa Chiiala nyia seng loong ah arah tiit haaki kotte—Esa Chiiala ah heh jeng boichaatte loong raangtaan ih Rangte lakkot.”
33 The members of the Council became frantic with rage on hearing this, and were for putting the apostles to death.
Ngoongthumte loong ah erah jeng ah chaat rum ano rapne ih khadah rumta, kaamwah loong ah tek haat etheng ngeh ih li rumta.
34 But Gamaliel, a Pharisee, who was a Doctor of the Law and who was held in universal respect, rose in the Council, and directed that the men should be taken out of court for a little while.
Enoothong neng dung ni, Pharisi nok hah Gamaliel ngeh ih wasiit angta, erah wah ah Hootthe nyootsootte, nyia warep ih phoongpha arah mih angta, eno Nokwah dung dowa heh toonchapta. Heh ih baat rumta, kaamwah loong ah pootsiit than doksiit kaat thaak an,
35 He then said, ‘People of Israel, take care as to what you intend to do with these men.
erah lih adi Nokwah suh li rumta, “Ijirel phoh ano loong, arah miloong ah damdoh sokthun samthun ih re theng.
36 For not long ago Theudas appeared, professing to be somebody, and was joined by a body of some four hundred men. But he was killed; and all his followers scattered and dwindled away.
Taat samthun thaak an ehakdi Theudas ah ngah thoonrak lang liite dongta eno chaabaji mih heliphante uh wakdong eta. Eno heh teewah ah tek haat kano, heliphante loong ah saapsoon e rumta, heh ruurang ah uh tikmat eta.
37 After him, Judas the Galilean appeared at the time of the census, and induced people to follow him; yet he, too, perished and all his followers were dispersed.
Erah lih adi, mih khoh rookwet tokdi, Galili nok hah Judas dongkhoom taha, heh mih hantek siitta, erah uh tek haat eta eno heliphante loong uh saapsoon e rumta.
38 And, in this present case, my advice to you is not to interfere with these men, but to leave them alone, for, if their designs and their work are merely of human origin, they will come to an end;
Erah likhiik doh, ngah ih baat rumhala, arah miloong asuh tiim uh lali theng. Neng tongtong toom ih rum ah! Tiim re rumla, tiim thun rum ha mina mongtham ang ah bah hetik matmat ih ah,
39 but, if they are of divine origin, you will be powerless to put an end to them – or else you may find yourselves fighting against God!’
enoothong Rangte mongtham ang abah sen ih tiim uh tajen ekan, senteewah Rangte damdoh rookmui anrah ba tup an!” Gamaliel ih renbaat rumta jengkhaap ah Nokwah ih kap erumta.
40 The Council followed his advice, and, calling the apostles in, had them flogged, and then, after cautioning them not to speak in the name of Jesus, set them free.
Kaamwah loong ah noppoon wanrum ano, ruh ih buh rumta, arah dowa ih Jisu mendoh mabah uh nakkah baattaan an ngeh ih baat rum ano daap haat rumta.
41 But the apostles left the Council, rejoicing that they had been thought worthy to suffer disgrace for that name;
Kaamwah loong ah Ngoongthum theng nawa tenroon woksoon ih doksoon karumta, tiimnge liidi, Jisu thoilam doh neng loong ah ih cham anaang ah jen naan ih rum ah ngeh ih Rangte ih danje arah ang rumta.
42 and never for a single day, either in the Temple Courts or in private houses, did they cease to teach, or to tell the good news of Jesus, the Christ.
Eno Rangteenok ni nyia nok rookweh ni neng loong ah ih Ruurang Ese tiit nyia Jisu Kristo tiit ah nyootsoot roh ih rumta.
