Acts 4
1 [Meanwhile, in the temple courtyard, there were some] priests, the officer who was in charge of the temple police, and [also some] [SYN] Sadducee [sect members]. These men came to Peter and John while the two of them were speaking to the people.
Bida amola Yone, ela da dunu huluanema sia: nanoba, gobele salasu dunu, Debolo Diasu sosodo aligisu dunu amola eno Sa: diusi dunu doaga: i.
2 These men were very angry, because the [two] apostles were teaching the people [about Jesus]. What they were telling the people was that because ([God caused Jesus to become alive again/God raised] Jesus [from the dead]), [God] would cause other people who had died to become alive again.
Bida amola Yone, da Yesu da bogole bu uhini wa: legadoi, amo hou olelebeba: le, ilia ougi ba: i. Amo hou da bogoi dunu ilia da hobea bu wa: legadomu olelebeba: le, ilia ougi.
3 So those officials seized Peter and John. Then they put them in jail. [They had to wait] until the next day [to question Peter and John], because it was already evening [and it was contrary to their Jewish law to question people at night].
Amaiba: le, ilia da Bida amola Yone gagulaligili, se dabe iasu diasu ganodini sali. Eso da dabeba: le, aya esoga fofada: musa: , ilia se dabe iasu diasu ganodini sali.
4 However, many people who had heard the message [from Peter] believed [in Jesus]. (OR, But many people had [already] believed [in Jesus, because] they had heard the message [from Peter].) So the number of men [who believed in Jesus] increased to about five 5,000.
Be dunu bagohame, Bida amola Yone ela sia: nabi dagoiba: le, dafawaneyale dawa: i galu. Lalegagui dunu ilia idi da heda: le, 5000 agoane ba: i.
5 The next day [the supreme priest summoned] the [other] chief priests, the teachers of the [Jewish] laws, and the other members [of the Jewish Council, and they] gathered together [in one place] in Jerusalem.
Golale hahabe, Yu ouligisu dunu, asigilai dunu amola Sema olelesu dunu, ilia Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade amoga gagadoi.
6 Annas, [the former] supreme priest, Caiaphas [who was the new supreme priest], [two other former supreme priests whose names were] John and Alexander, and other men who were related to the supreme priest [were there].
Ilia da gobele salasu hina dunu (A: nase), Gaiabase, Yone, A:legesa: nede, amola gobele salasu hina dunu ea sosogo fi dunu eno, Bida amola Yone elama fofada: musa: gilisi.
7 They [commanded guards to] bring Peter and John into the courtroom [MTY] and have them stand in front of them. [Then one of] the leaders questioned [the two of] them, saying, “Who [do you two claim] gave you the power [to heal this man]? And who authorized [MTY] you to do this [DOU]?”
Ilia da asunasi dunu elama amane sia: i, “Ninima fofada: musa: , misini leloma.” Ilia da elama amane adole ba: i, “Alia da habodane amo hou hamobela: ? Adi gasaga hamobela: ? Nowa ea Dioba: le alia amo hou hamobela: ?”
8 So as the Holy Spirit completely controlled Peter, he said to them, “You [fellow Israelites] who rule us and [all of you other] elders, [listen]!
Amalalu, Gode Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa Gala amo Ea gasa da Bida ea dogo nabaiba: le, e bu adole i, “Dilia! Isala: ili dunu ilia ouligisu amola asigilai dunu!
9 Today you are questioning us concerning our doing something good for a man who was crippled, and you asked us how he was healed.
Dilia da anima waha amo gasuga: igi dunu ea uhinisisu hou amola ema hahawane hou hamoi ea bai anima adole ba: sa.
10 So [we(exc) want] you and all [of our other] fellow Israelites to know this: It is because Jesus the Messiah [MTY] from Nazareth healed this man that he is able to stand here. [God considers that] it was you who nailed Jesus to a cross, but God caused him to become alive again.
Amaiba: le, dilia huluane amola Isala: ili fi dunu huluane, noga: le dawa: mu da defea. Yesu Gelesu, Na: salede dunu, amo Ea gasa bagade Dioba: le amo musa: gasuga: igi dunu da wali uhini dagoiwane, hahawane dilia huluane ba: ma: ne lela. Dilia da Yesu Gelesu bulufalegeiga medole legei, be Gode da E bu uhini wa: lesi dagoi.
11 [In the Psalms this was written about the Messiah: ] He is [like] [MET] the stone that was rejected by the builders {that the builders rejected}. But that stone became the most important stone in the building [that they were building]. [Jesus is that stone, and] you [are those builders who threw away the stone that was the most important one].
Yesu Gelesu Ea hou olelema: ne, Gode Sia: da agoane dedei diala, ‘Diasu gagusu dunu da igi afae higa: i. Be amo igi da mimogo hamone, igi eno huluane baligi dagoi.’
12 So he alone can save us [MTY]. [God] has sent only one person [MTY] into the world who can save us [from the guilt of our sins, and that person is Jesus]!”
Yesu Gelesu Hi fawane da Gaga: su dunu. Osobo bagade ganodini eno hame, Hi fawane Gode da ninia Gaga: su dunu ilegei dagoi!”
13 The [Jewish leaders] realized that Peter and John (were not afraid [of them]/spoke boldly). They also learned that the two men were ordinary people who had not studied in schools. So the leaders were amazed, and they realized that these men had associated with Jesus.
Gasolo dunu da Bida amola Yone, ela gasa bagade mae beda: iwane hou ba: beba: le, fofogadigi. Ela da sugulu hame hamoi amo dawa: beba: le, ilia baligiliwane fofogadigi. Ilia da ela hou ba: beba: le, ela da Yesu amola gilisili lalu dawa: i.
14 They also saw the man who had been healed standing there with [the two of] them, so they were not able to say anything [to oppose Peter and John].
Be elama gagabole sia: musa: logo hame ba: i. Bai musa: emo gasuga: igi dunu da bu uhini hahawane e amola Bida amola Yone, gilisili lelebe ba: beba: le, ilia bu sia: mu gogolei.
15 So the [Jewish leaders] commanded [guards] to take Peter, John, and the man outside of the room [where those leaders were meeting. After they did so], the leaders talked with each other [about Peter and John].
Amasea elama Gasolo diasu gadili masa: ne sia: nu, Gasolo dunu ilisu da gilisili amane sia: dasu,
16 [Being frustrated, one after another], they said, “(There is really nothing that we can do to [punish] these [two] men!/How can we [(inc)] do anything to [punish] these [two] men?) [RHQ] Almost everyone [HYP] who is living in Jerusalem knows that they have done an amazing miracle, so we cannot tell people that it did not happen!
“Amo dunu ilia hawa: hamobeba: le, ninia adi hamoma: bela: ? Ela da musa: hame ba: i gasa bagade hawa: hamoi, amo Yelusaleme fi dunu huluane da dawa: Ela da hame hamoi amo ninia sia: mu da hamedei.
17 However, [we] must not allow other people to hear about [this miracle]. So we must tell these men that [we will punish them if they] continue to tell other people about this [MTY] man [who they say gave them the power to do it].”
Be dunu huluane ilia amo hou baligiliwane nabasa: besa: le, amo dunu ilia eno dunuma bu Yesu Ea Dioba: le bu mae sia: ma: ne, amo ninia gagabole sia: mu da defea.”
18 So the Jewish leaders [commanded guards] to bring the two apostles [into that room again. After they did so], they [commanded] them both that they should never speak about Jesus, and they should not teach [anyone about him] [MTY] [again].
Amasea, ilia Yone amola Bida, elama bu misa: ne sia: noba, amane sia: i, “Defea! Alia Yesu Ea Dioba: le, maedafa bu sia: ma amola Ea hou maedafa olelema!”
19 But Peter and John replied, “Would God think that it is right [for us two] to obey you and not [to obey] him? [We(exc) will let] you decide [which of those you think is proper].
Be Bida amola Yone da bu adole i, “Defea! Dilia fawane dawa: ma? Dilia sia: ani nabawane hamoma: bela: ? O Gode Ea adosu ninia nabawane hamoma: bela: ?
20 [But as for us, we cannot obey you]. We will not stop telling people about the things that we [(exc)] have seen [Jesus do] and what we have heard [him teach].”
Ania da hou huluane ania siga ba: beba: le amola ania gega nababeba: le, ouiya: le esalumu da hamedei galebe!”
21 Then the [Jewish leaders] again told [Peter and John] not to disobey them. But all the people [there] were praising God about what had happened [to the lame man. The leaders knew that only God could have enabled Peter and John] to miraculously heal the man, because the man was more than 40 years old [and he was lame when his mother bore him. They also knew that the people would become angry if they punished the two apostles]. So, because they could not decide how to punish Peter and John, [they finally] let them go.
Amaiba: le, Gasolo dunu da elama bu baligiliwane gagabole sia: nanu, elama udigili masa: ne sia: i. Dunu huluane da Gode musa: hame ba: i hou hamoi, amoma Godema nodone dawa: lalebeba: le, ilia da elama se dabe iasu imunu beda: i.
Musa: gasuga: igi bu uhi dagoi dunu da lalelegeloba ode 40 baligili esalu.
23 After Peter and John had been released, they went to the other believers and reported all that the chief priests and [other Jewish] elders had said to them.
Bida amola Yone, ela se dabe iasu diasu logo doasibiba: le, ela gilisisu ilima bu asili, doaga: le, gobele salasu ouligisu dunu amola asigilai dunu ilia hou elama, amo elea fi ilima olelei.
24 When they heard that, they [all] agreed as they prayed to God, and [one of] them prayed, “O Lord! You [(sg)] made the sky, the earth and the oceans, and everything in them.
Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu dunu huluane elea sia: nababeba: le, ilia gilisili Godema amane sia: ne gadoi, “Hina Gode! Hebene, moi bagade, hano bagade amola liligi huluane Hahamosu Dunu Di!
25 The Holy Spirit caused our ancestor, [King] David [MTY], who served you, to write these words: [It is ridiculous] [RHQ] that the non-Jews became angry and the Israelite people planned uselessly [to oppose God].
Dia A: silibu Hadigidafa da olelebeba: le, Dia hawa: hamosu dunu Da: ibidi da amane sia: i, ‘Gode Ea fi hame dunu da abuliba: le ougibala: ? Hamedeiba: le, ilia abuliba: le hamedei ilegesu hamosala: ?
26 The kings of the world prepared to fight [God’s Ruler], and the [other] rulers assembled together [with them] to oppose the Lord [God] and the one whom he had appointed [to be the Messiah].
Osobo bagade hina bagade dunu ilia Godema gegemusa: dawa: beba: le gegesu liligi momagei. Ilia gilisili, Godema amola Ea Mesaia Ema gegemusa: gilisi dagoi!’
27 [Lord, we know that what you(sg) said long ago was true], because [King] Herod and the [governor], Pontius Pilate, and many other people, both non-Jews and Israelites, assembled together [here] in this city. [They] planned [to kill] Jesus, who devotedly served you [and] whom you appointed [MTY] [to be the Messiah].
Dafawane! Helode, Bodiase Bailade, Gode Ea fi hame dunu amola Isala: ili dunu, ilia da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade ganodini, Dia hawa: hamosu Dunu Ida: iwane Dima Mesaia ilegei, amo medomusa: dawa: i galu.
28 [Because] you [(sg)] are all-powerful, those people did [only] what you [SYN] allowed [them to do]. It was what you decided long ago would happen.”
Ilia ilisu amo hou hamomusa: dawa: i galu. Be Di da amo hou ilia loboga hamomusa: musa: hemonega ilegei galu.
29 “So now, Lord, listen to what they are saying about punishing us! Help us who serve you [(sg)] to very boldly speak messages from you [(sg) about Jesus]
Be wali Hina Gode! Ilia badugui hou Di ba: ma. Ninia da Dia hawa: hamosu dunu. Amaiba: le, ninia Dia sia: ida: iwane gasawane olelema: ne, Di fidima.
30 [Also], by your power [MTY] miraculously heal [sick people] and do other amazing miracles [SYN] that show people your power! Ask Jesus, who always serves you, [to give us the authority] [MTY] [to do such miracles]!”
Dia oloi dunu uhima: ne, Dia lobo moloma. Ninia gasa bagade musa: hame ba: su dawa: digima: ne olelesu Yesu Dia hawa: hamosu Dunu ida: iwane gala Ea Dioba: le hamoma: ne, nini logo Dia fodoma!”
31 When the believers had finished praying, the place where they were meeting shook. All of them were (completely controlled/empowered) by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit (completely controlled/empowered) all of them}, with the result that they began to speak boldly the words that God [told them to speak].
Sia: ne gadoi dagoloba, diasu amo ganodini ilia gilisi, amo da bebeda: nima hamobe agoane ugugui. Amalalu, ilia huluane Gode Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa Gala ea gasaga nabaiba: le, Gode Ea sia: mae beda: iwane gasawane olelesu.
32 The group of people who had believed [in Jesus] were completely agreed about what they thought and what they wanted/desired. Not one of them claimed that he [alone] owned anything. Instead, they shared with one another everything that they had.
Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu fi da gilisili na: iyado amola asigi dawa: su afadafa fawane hamoi. Dunu afae ea liligi, “Goe da na: ,” hamedafa sia: i. Be ilia liligi huluane yolesili, amo liligi huluane ilia gilisili gagui galu.
33 The apostles continued to tell others, very powerfully, [that God] had (caused the Lord Jesus to become alive again/raised the Lord Jesus from the dead). [People knew that God] was graciously helping all the believers.
Asunasi dunu da Hina Yesu Gelesu Ea bu wa: legadosu hou, amo gasawane olelesu. Amalalu, Gode da hahawane bagade hou ilima iasu.
34 [Some of] the believers who owned land or houses would occasionally sell [some of] their property. Then they would bring [the money for what they sold]
Ilia gilisisu ganodini, hame gagui agoane dunu da hame ba: i. Osobo gagui dunu amola diasu gagui dunu, ilia amo liligi bidi lale, muni amo gaguli misini,
35 and they would present it to the apostles [MTY]. Then [the apostles] would give money to any [believer] who needed [it]. So no one among the believers was lacking anything.
asunasi dunuma iasu. Amalalu, ilia da amo muni mogili, hame gagui dunuma ilia esalusu liligi lama: ne sagosu.
36 [For example, there was] Joseph. [He was] a descendant of Levi [and he was born] on Cyprus [Island]. The apostles called him Barnabas; [in the Jewish language] that name means a person who [IDM] always encourages [others].
Lifai fi dunu Saibalase sogega lalelegei ea dio amo Yousefe, e da agoane hamoi. Amo dunuma, asunasi dunu da eno dio asuli amo Banaba: se (dawa: loma: ne da “asigi fidisu dunu.”)
37 He sold one of his fields, and brought the money to the apostles [for them to distribute to other believers].
Banaba: se da soge ea gagui amo bidi lale, muni gaguli misini, eno hame gagui dunu fidimusa: amo asunasi dunuma i.
