Acts 5
1 But there was one of [the believers] whose name was Ananias, and whose wife’s name was Sapphira. He [also] sold some land.
Umuntu, umo itawa ali yu Anania, nushi wakwe uSafira bhakazizye eshuma,
2 He kept for himself some of the money [he had received for the land], and his wife knew that he had done that. Then he brought the rest of the money and presented it to the apostles [MTY].
ehela zimo bhafisa wope ushe azimenye zyabhabhombile, waleta zyazyasagiye hwatumwe.
3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, you [(sg)] let Satan completely control you [MTY] so that you [(sg) tried to] deceive the Holy Spirit [and us(exc)]. (That was [terrible!/Why did you do such a terrible thing]?) [RHQ] [You] have kept for yourself some of the money you [(sg)] received for [selling] the land, [pretending that you(sg) were giving us all of it].
U Petro wabhuzya, “U Anania, yeenu ushetani agumemizye umwoyo gwaho uyanga ilenga hwu Mpepo Ufinjile na fise ihelu zyasisagiye muziletile epa?
4 Before you [(sg)] sold that land, you truly owned [RHQ] it. And after you sold it, you could [RHQ] certainly still have used the money any way you wanted [to]. So why did you [(sg) ever] think [RHQ] about doing this [wicked] thing? You were not [merely trying to] deceive us! No, [you tried to deceive] God [himself!]!”
Navyahali hulimwe sevyali vyenyu? nuhalisile akazya suhali namaamuzi navyo yeenu uhasibhile abhombe ezi? Nukhopiya muntu ukhopiyo Ungulubhi.”
5 When Ananias heard that, [immediately] he fell down dead. So all [who were there] who heard [about Ananias’ death] became terrified [PRS].
Ahumvwaje esho, u Anania wagwa pansi wafwai abhantu bhonti bhayeta bhabhomvwizye ezi.
6 Some young men came in, wrapped his [body in a sheet], and carried it out [and] buried it.
Na avijana(Asahala) bhanyatula bhabhala asyeele.
7 About three hours later, his wife came in, [but] she did not know what had happened.
Amasala nagafiha gatatu ushiwakwe wope afiha samanyile zyazimwajile ulume wakwe.
8 [As] Peter [showed her the money] that [Ananias had brought], he asked her, “Tell me, is this the amount [of money you two received for] the land you sold?” She said, “Yes, that’s [what we(exc) received].”
U Petro wabhuzya ugunda gwamukazizye ehela zyazyezi nyene u Safira waga ee zyazyezyo.”
9 So Peter said to her, “[You both did a terrible thing!] You two agreed [RHQ] to try to determine if you could do that without the Spirit of the Lord [God] revealing [to anyone that you two tried to deceive them!] Listen! [Do you(sg) hear the] footsteps [SYN] of the men who buried your husband? They are right outside this door, and they will carry your [corpse] out [to bury it, too]!”
U Petro waga yeenu mupatene hukhopele ilenga Umpepo Ufinjile? Angalia, miguu ya wale waliomzika mme wako iko mlangoni, na watakubeba na kukupeleka nje.”
10 Immediately Sapphira fell down dead at Peter’s feet. Then the young men came in. When they saw that she was dead, they carried her [body] out and buried it beside her husband’s [body].
Wope wagwa wope wafwa avijana bhabhala bhasyela pabhasyilile ulume wakwe.
11 So all the believers [in Jerusalem] became greatly frightened [PRS] [because of what God had done to Ananias and Sapphira. And] all [the others] who heard [people tell about] those things also [became greatly frightened].
Ikanisa lyonti lyogopa na bhantu bhonti bhabhahumvwizye.
12 [God was enabling] the apostles to do many amazing miracles among the people. All the believers were meeting together regularly [in the temple courtyard] at [the place called] Solomon’s Porch.
Embonesyo nyinji ezyashangazye zyabhombishe hwa bhantu ashilile humakhono gatumwe bhahali bhonti muukumbi wa Sulemani.
13 All of the other people [who had not yet believed in Jesus] were afraid to associate with the believers, [because they knew that if they did anything evil, God would punish them, as well as revealing it to the believers]. However, those people continued to greatly respect the believers.
Numo umuntu uwinji yasangine nabho abhantu bhabhashinshime nabhapele eheshima engosi tee.
14 Many more men and women started believing in the Lord [Jesus], and they joined the [group of] believers.
Ikanisa lyahonjelela alume na bhashe bhabhaposhelaga uYesu,
15 [The apostles were doing amazing miracles], so [people] were bringing those who were sick into the streets, and laying them on stretchers and mats, in order that [when] Peter came by [he would touch them, or] at least his shadow might fall upon some of them [and heal them].
abhantu bhanyemulaga abhinu nabhabheshe mwidala, aje u Petro nashila inzyogozi lyakwe libhashilile.
16 Crowds of people were also coming [to the apostles] from the towns near Jerusalem. They were bringing their sick [relatives/friends] and those who were being tormented/troubled by evil spirits {whom evil spirits were tormenting/troubling}, and [God] healed all of them.
Nantele abhantu, afume munshenje ye Yerusalemu bhabhaletile abhinu na bhabhali na mashetani, bhonti bhaponile
17 Then the high priest and all who were with him, who were members of the [local] Sadducee [sect in Jerusalem], became very jealous [of the apostles, because many people were accepting the apostles’ message].
Lelo ugosi wishibhanza na bhala bhabhamwavwaga embombo (abhemadhehebu ga masadukayo); bhaali nu kero
18 So they commanded the Temple guards to seize the apostles and put them in the public jail.
bhahabhakhata atumwe bhabhafunjila mwiijela lya bhonti.
19 [The guards did that], but during the night an angel from the Lord [God] opened the jail doors and brought the apostles outside! [The guards were not aware of what the angel had done].
Nu siku umalaika wenza wigula amandyango gijela wabhalongola hwonze,
20 Then the angel said [to the apostles], “Go to the Temple [courtyard], stand there, and tell the people all about [how God can give them eternal] life!”
“Waga bhalaji mwemelele mwikanisa mubhabhuule abhantu enongwa ezye Womi owu.”
21 So having heard this, about dawn they entered the Temple [courtyard] and began to teach the people again [about Jesus]. Acts 5:21b-24 Meanwhile, the high priest and those who were with him summoned the other Jewish Council members. Altogether they made up the entire Council of Israel. [After they all gathered together], they sent [guards] to the jail to bring in the apostles.
Nabhumvwa isho bhabhala mwikanisa nahuhenga bhabhamanyizya abhantu okuhani(ugosi weshibhanza) na bhaalabhali nabho bhakwizanya ibalaza lyonti bhabhatuma hubhakwizye atumwe mwijela.
22 But when the guards arrived at the jail, they discovered that the apostles were not there. So they returned to the Council, and [one of] them reported,
Nabhafiha hwijela bhahega atumwe nabhamo mwijela bha bhala bhabhapeela etharifa,
23 “We [(exc)] saw that the jail [doors] were very securely locked, and the guards were standing at the doors. But when we opened [the doors and went in to get those men], none [of them was] inside [the jail]!”
“Bhaga tejile abhantu nabhamo mwijela, na mandyango gonti gafungwilwe sheshinza nalinzi bhahweli mundyango nitigula tejile afungwe enabhamo muhati.”
24 When the captain of the temple guards and the chief priests heard that, they became greatly perplexed, [wondering] what might result from all this.
Usikari ugosi we hekalu na bhagosi bhahayetile sana pabhu mvwa huje afungwe nabhamo bhasiibha bhaga tibhabhombe wile ni jambo eli.
25 Then someone came [from the Temple courtyard] and [excitedly] reported to them, “Listen [to this! Right now] the men whom you put in jail are standing in the Temple [courtyard] and they are teaching the people [about Jesus]!”
Umuntu umo wenza wabhabhula huje abhantu bhaala bhamwabhapinyile bhali hwa mwabho bhemeleye bhamanyizya.”
26 So the captain [of the Temple guards] went [to the Temple courtyard] with the officers, and they brought the apostles [back to the Council room. But they] did not treat them roughly, because they were afraid that the people would [kill them by] throwing stones at them [if they hurt the apostles].
Usikari nabhantu abhanje bhabhala bhabhega shashinza bila fujo, bhahogope abhantu huje bhagabhakhoma na mawe.
27 After [the captain and his officers] had brought [the apostles to the Council room], they commanded them to stand in front of the Council members, and the high priest questioned them.
Nabhabhaleta bhabhabheha pi baraza. Ugosi weshibhanza wa bhabhuuzya
28 He said to them [accusingly], “We [(exc)] strongly commanded you not to teach people about that man [MTY] [Jesus] But [you have disobeyed us, and] you have taught people all over Jerusalem [about him]! Furthermore, you are trying to make it seem that we [(exc)] are the ones who are guilty [MTY] for that man’s death!”
tabhakhine amanyizye hwitawa lya muntu ula muyimemizye eYerusalemu emanyizyo zyenya musungwa alete idanda lya muntu ula hulite.”
29 But Peter, [speaking for himself] and the other apostles, replied, “We [(exc)] have to obey [what] God [commands us to do], not what [you] people [tell us to do]!
Lelo uPetro natumwe bhaga, “Lazima timwumvwe Ungulubhi ashile abhumvwe abhantu.
30 God considers that you are the ones who killed Jesus by nailing him to a cross! But God, whom our ancestors [worshipped], (caused Jesus to become alive again after he died/raised Jesus from the dead).
Ungulubhi waise bhetu azyusizye uYesu yamwabudile na hulembezye mwikwi.
31 God has greatly honored Jesus. [He has taken him up to heaven! He has authorized him] to be the one who will save us and to rule [over our lives! God did this] so that he might enable [us] Israelites [MTY] to turn away from [our] sinful behavior and [that he might] forgive [us for our sins].
Ungulubhi amwimishe hukhono gwakwe ulilo, abheshele abhe Gosi abhe mwokozi, hwa Israeli, nkabhalambe embibhi abhasajila.
32 We [(exc)] tell people about these things [that we know happened to Jesus], and the Holy Spirit, whom God has sent to [us] who obey him, is also confirming [that these things are true].”
Ate tilibhaketi bhega gonti, nu Mpepo Ufinjile, Ungulubhi yabhapelile bhaala bhabhahumwitiha.”
33 When the Council members heard those words, they became very angry [with the apostles], and they wanted to kill them.
Ajumbe bhi baraza nabhumvwa isho elyoyo lyabhakhata bhaga bhabhabude atuwe.
34 But [there was a Council member] named Gamaliel. He was a Pharisee, and one who taught people the [Jewish] laws, and all the [Jewish] people respected him. He stood up in the Council and told [guards] to take the apostles out [of the room] for a short time.
Ufarisayo umo itawa lyakwe yu Gamalileli, ali mwalimu we sheria, yahemehwaga sana na bhantu waga abhantu ebo bhafume panze nasoti.
35 [After the guards had taken the apostles out], he said to the other Council members, “Fellow Israelites, you need to think carefully about what you are about to do to these men, [and I will tell you why].
Halafu wabhabhuula waga amwe, “Mubhalume mubha Israeli, mwenye sana zyamulwabhombe na bhantu ebha.
36 Some years ago [a man named] Theudas rebelled [against the Roman government]. He told people that he was an important person, and about 400 men joined [him. But he was killed] {[soldiers] killed him} and all those who had been accompanying him were scattered. [So they] were not able to do anything [that they had planned].
Ahali umuntu itawa yu Theuda ahwibheshele huje muntu gosi, sana abhantu mia nne bhafutile. Umuntu uyo bhahabuda bhonti bhabhafuataga bhanyampine nategane.
37 After that, during the time when they were (writing down names of the people/taking the census) [in order to tax people, a man named] Judas from Galilee [province] rebelled [against the Roman government]. He persuaded some people to accompany him. But [soldiers] killed him, too, and all those who had accompanied him went off in different directions.
Ahali uwamwabho ali yo Yuda wa hugalilaya, lwabhahabhazyaga abhantu(esensa) wope atejile na bhantu bhakwe bhonti bhanyampene.
38 So now I say [this] to you: Do not harm these men! Release them! I say this because if [this is just something] that humans have planned, they will not be able to do it. They will fail, [like Theudas and Judas did]
Eshi embabhuula abhantu ebha bhaleshi embombo ene nkayabhantu ebhateje yene.
39 But, if God [has commanded them to do it], you will not be able to prevent them [from doing it, because] you will find out that you are opposing God!” The other members of the Council accepted what Gamaliel said.
Lelo nkashele ya Ngulubhi, semubhajiye aiwezye; musahabhoneshe huje mulwa nu Ngulubhi.” Bhamweteshela zyayanjile.
40 They told the [temple guards to bring the apostles and flog them. So the guards] brought them [into the Council room] and flogged them. Then the Council members commanded them not to speak to people about [MTY] Jesus, and they released the apostles.
Bhabhakwizya bhinjila munyumba bhabhakhoma, nabhabhuule huje musahayanje nante hwitawa eli elya Yesu, bhabhaleha bhasogola.
41 So the apostles left the Council. They were rejoicing, because [they knew God] had honored them [by letting people] disgrace them because they were followers [MTY] of Jesus.
Bhasogola shabhashiye aje tikhomwa hunongwa yitawa elya Yesu nazalauliwe.
42 And every day [the apostles went to] the temple [area] and to various [people’s] houses, [and] they continued [LIT] teaching [people] and telling [them] that Jesus is the Messiah.
Ensiku nzyonti mwikanisa bhalumbililaga na manyizye abhantu aje uYesu yu Kilisti nu mwokozi.
