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.
Vbvritola hoka nyi akonvgv aminv Ananias, ho ninyigv nywng Sapphira lvkobv bunugvlo yikungyira doonv nga kvvgonyi pyoktoku.
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].
Vbvritola ninyigv nywng gv lvkobv umkvpakv vmisila hv morko kvvgonyi nyigvbv pvchingto okv kvvgonyi Apostol vdwlo laklwkto.
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].
Pitar ninyia minto, “Ananias, no ogulvgabv Uyudvbv nga yaaku dunv okv yikungyira lokv paanam morko nga kvvgonyi pvpvtola no Darwknv Dowa mvvdunv?
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!]!”
Atuk lo no yikungyira nga pyoktv madvbv, vv no gvbv rito; okv pyokro kochingbv, morko ngv nokvku. Vbvrikunamv, no ogubv so svkvnvgo ridubv mvngpvnv? No nyi am mvvmado—no Pwknvyarnvnyi mvvdu!”
5 When Ananias heard that, [immediately] he fell down dead. So all [who were there] who heard [about Ananias’ death] became terrified [PRS].
Ananias so tvvpa sopikda, hv giyala sidasirato; okv yvv um tvvbvdw mvnwng ngv busu nyatoku.
6 Some young men came in, wrapped his [body in a sheet], and carried it out [and] buried it.
Nyipayapa vdwv aatoku, ninyigv ayak am maatum tumtoku, ninyia agumbv baklin toku, okv ninyia sima ritoku.
7 About three hours later, his wife came in, [but] she did not know what had happened.
Gunta aom lvlv kochinglo ninyigv nywng ngv, ogugo ripvdw chiya kumabv, arwnglo aatoku.
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].”
Pitar ninyia tvvkato, “Nga mimpato, morko mvnwng ngv si mvngchikre no la noogv nyilu nonyi gv yikungyira pyoknam lo paanamv?” “Vmabv,” hv mirwkto, “mvnwng vmabv.”
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]!”
Vkvlvgabv Pitar ninyia minto, “Ogubv no la noogv nyiluv Ahtu gv Dowa rikwripak dubv mvngpvnv? Noogv nyilu nga simarinv nyi vdwv vjv agiv daknyado, okv bunu namka agumlo baklin riku!”
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].
Vjakpigobv hv ninyigv lvpa lvkwng bv gimupla okv sidapvto. Yaapa vdwv arwng aatola okv ho kaakunamv hv sitoku, vkvlvgabv bunu ninyia baklinto okv ninyigv nyilu adarlo ritoku.
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].
Gvrja mvnwng ngv okv yvvdw so kvvbi tvvpapvdw tvvnv mvnwng ngv busu nyatoku.
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.
Mvngchigo lamrwpadubv okv kaasartabobv nyi vdwgv pinkolo Apostol vdwv kaatamto. Mvngjwngnv mvnwng ngv lvkin gubv Solomon gv giabv lo kaarwk minsuto.
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.
Agum lokv akonvka nyitwnglo mvngpak mabv bunua lvkobv aapwng nyumato, nyi vdwv bunua kainvgobv japnya kujvka.
14 Many more men and women started believing in the Lord [Jesus], and they joined the [group of] believers.
Vbvritola kaiyayabv nyi yangv nyipamv aapwng yayato—Ahtunyi mvngjwngnv nyimv okv nyilo bv twngtv toku.
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].
Kaakunamv lvvmanv nyi vdwa lamtv lo bakdar linto okv gadw lo okv kuchoklo karmu tola ho maanyikinyingka Pitar gv yalu babuv bunua vngsikla okv bunua poya modubv vla ritoku.
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.
Okv Jerusalem adarai gv banggu lokv nyitwnggo aatoku, ho vdwv yvv lvvmapvdw vmalo yvvbunuam alvmanv dow doonv nga aagvnyato; okv bunu mvnwng ngv poyatoku.
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].
Vbvrikunamv Nyibu Butvyachuk okv ninyigv richam mvnwng ngv, sadusis gv ridungnv vdw vla, Apostol vdwa achialvbv kaanwng mabv rinyato; vkvlvgabv bunu rirap dokubv mimisitoku.
18 So they commanded the Temple guards to seize the apostles and put them in the public jail.
Bunu Apostol vdwa naatung toku okv bunua kvba patwk arwnglo tumlwkto.
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].
Vbvritola ho ayuyupra lo Ahtu gv nyidogindung akonv patwk agiya kukda pvvtola, Apostol vdwa agum linggvto, okv bunua minto,
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!”
“Vngnyika okv Pwknvyarnvnaam arwnglo daktola nyi mvnwng nga so anwnv singdung lvgabv mimpa tvka.”
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.
Apostol vdwv tvvda laikula, okv arukamchi doonyi chaalin rilo bunu Pwknvyarnvnaam lo aalakula okv tamsar sarap toku. Nyibu Butvyachok okv ninyigv ajin vdwv Jius gv nyigagatv mvnwng nga dopam pamdubv gokum nyato; vbvrikunamv patwk lo nyi vdwa orto jitola Apostol vdwa bunugv kaagialo boolwk dubv minto.
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,
Vbvritola vdwlo nyigam vdwv vngchi tokudw, bunu Apostol vdwa patwk arwnglo kaapa kuma, vkvlvgabv bunu kvba lo vngkur lakula okv mimpa toku,
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]!”
“Ngonu vdwlo patwk hoka vngchi kunamv, ngonu vriap am alvbv raktin dubv kaato okv agi ho kaaria nvngv chin mvnwng ngv dakdubv kaato; vbvritola vdwlo ngonu agiya kokda kunamv, ngonu arwnglo akoka kaapa kumato!”
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.
Vdwlo nyibu butv mvnwng okv gvrja lo kaariadakrianv vdwv so tvvpa kunam gola, Apostol vdwa ogugo riku namngvdw bunu lamrwsuk panya toku.
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]!”
Vbvrikunamv nyi ako arwng aatoku okv bunua minto, “Tvvriato! Nonu patwk tumnam nyi vdwv Pwknvyarnvnaam arwng gv nyi vdwa tamsar nyadu!”
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].
Vkvlvgabv Nyigam gamtv angv ninyigv nyi vdwa lvkobv vnglaku okv Apostol vdwa aakur gvvtoku. Vbvrikujvka, bunu mvduridu bv mvngka kuma, vkvlvgavbolo bunu busu nyato ho nyi vdwv bunua vlwng orji mvngbv.
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.
Bunu Apostol vdwa arwnglo aagv tola, bunua kvba kaagialo dakmu toku, okv Nyibu Butvyachok angv bunua tvvkato.
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!”
“Ngonu nonuam so nyi angv amin bv tamsar karma bvkv vla orto jitoku,” hv minto; “vbvritola nonuno ogugo ridudw kaatoku! Nonugv tamsarnama Jerusalem mvnwnglo dupwng mooto, okv nonuno ninyigv siku nvgv lvgabv alv ponampoma nga ngonua laarwk simu dubv mvngdu!”
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]!
Pitar okv Apostol kvvgonv mirwksito, “Ngonu Pwknvyarnvnyi tvvrung dubv rirungdu, nyi yanga ma.
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).
Ngonugv abuapa gv Pwknvyarnv sikunv Jisunyi turrap motoku, nonugv ninyia daapolo takkiro kochingbv.
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].
Pwknvyarnv ninyia turkur motoku ninyigv lakbik takbvku Rigvnvgobv okv Ringnv gobv, Israel gv nyi vdwa mvngdin modubv alvnv dw nga jitoku okv bunugv rimur am mvngnga dokubv.
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].”
So oguogu mvnwng nga ngonu tvriakarianv vdwv Ngonu okv Darwknv Dow, yvvdw Pwknvyarnv gv amin jinam hogv yvbunudw ninyia tvvdunv.”
33 When the Council members heard those words, they became very angry [with the apostles], and they wanted to kill them.
Vdwlo dopam gv nyi vdwv sum tvvpa nvgola, ho bunu mvnwng ngv achialvbv haachito bunu Apostol vdwa mvki dukubv mvngnya toku.
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.
Vbvritola bunugv lokv akonv, Parisis go aminv Gamaliel vnamgo hv Pvbv tamsar nvgo okv nyi mvnwng gv mvngdv kunam go, kvba arwnglo dakrap toku. Hv Apostol vdwa agumlo achukgo daklin modubv orto jitoku,
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].
okv vbvrikunamv hv kvba vdwa minto, “Israel gv ribam vdwa, so nyi vdw sum nonuno ogugo ritvdonvdw imasuto laka.
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].
Nonuno mvngpato kvvlogv ho Tiudas gv kaatam nama, nyi kvvgonv kaibogobv hartvto, okv nyiga lvngpi gobv ninyia tulwkla riming gvvto. Vbvritola ninyia mvki kunamv, ninyigv nyi vdwv apinain toku, okv ninyigv binamtapnamka siro nyvrokaku.
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.
Hokochingbv, Judas Galili nyi go amin lvkardw alulo aalwkto; ninyigv nyitwnggo ninyia kochingbv riming gvvto, vbvritola ninyia aka mvki toku, okv ninyigv ribam mvnwng vka kipinkiyin toku.
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]
Okv so lvgabv, ngo nonua mindunv, oguguka ho nyi vdwa mvmarima bvka. Bunua mvngchik toputo! Bunu ogugo rungdupadudw okv ridupadudw vv nyi mvngdungridung lokv ridubolo, vv nyeri kunvpv,
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.
vbvritola vv Pwknvyarnv gvlokv aadubolo, nonuno bunua mvchinrichin nyomare. Nonuno chinsure atubongv Pwknvyarnvnyi rinyingriru bv padarminsu namnga!” Kvba mvnwng ngv Gamaliel gv minam am tvvtoku.
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.
Bunu Apostol vdwa goklwk tvla, bunua svnyak patoku, okv bunua Jisu gv amin bv mingku madu kubv mintoku; okv vbvrikunamv bunua anyubv topu jitoku.
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.
Okvku Apostol vdwv kvba lokv lintoku, bunu himpu toku, vkvlvgavbolo Pwknvyarnv ngv bunua Jisu gvbv rinam adwkaku nvnga boktalwkji toku.
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.
Okv aludwkibv Pwknvyarnvnaam lo okv nyi mvnwng gv naam lo bunu minsar sarbv dula okv alvnv yunying nga Jisu Kristo lvkwnglo gvvtam jitoku.
