Acts 5
1 There was, however, a man named Ananias, who, with his wife Sapphira, sold some property,
Iti gwa, muntu ug'wi nai witangwaa Anania, nu Safira musungu akwe, ai aguiye ipatyo nila nsailo,
2 and, with her connivance, kept back some of the proceeds. He brought only a part and laid it at the Apostles’ feet.
nu kupiha ipatyo nila mpia nai aguiye (ga nu musungu akwe ai ulilingile ili), nu kuleta ipatyo nilisigile nu kuika mu migulu a itumi.
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?
Kuiti uPetro ai uligitilye, “Anania, ku nik u mulugu umizuiye inkolo ako kuligitya uteele ku Ng'wau Ng'welu nu kupiha ipatyo nila mugunda?
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 men, but to God!”
Itungo nai watulaa likili kuguligwa, shanga ai latulaa nsailo ako? Hangi zeyakilaa kuguligwa, shanga ai likoli mu ulamuli nuako? itulikile uli usige ikani ili munkolo ako? Shanga uakongee anga ana adamu, ila umukongee Itunda.”
5 As Ananias heard these words, he fell down and expired; and every one who heard of it was appalled.
Mu kija imakani aya, uAnania ai ugwie pihi nu kutinanga inkolo. Nu woa ukulu ai uaziie ihi nai aligulye ili.
6 The young men got up, and, winding the body in a sheet, carried it out and buried it.
Ahumba akapembya ku ntongeela nu kumuikila mu sanda, nu kumutwala kunzi nu kumuika.
7 After an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
Ze yakilaa masaa ataatu iti, u musungu nuakwe ai wingie mukati, aze shanga ulingile naza katulaa kipumie.
8 “Is it true,” Peter asked, addressing her, “that you sold your land for such a sum?” “Yes,” she answered, “we did.”
uPetro akamutambuila, “Ntambuile, anga aza ize muguiye u mugunda ku nsailo nanso.” Akaigitya, “Uu, ku nsailo yiyo.”
9 Then Peter said: “How did you come to agree to provoke the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The foot-steps of those who have buried your husband are at the door; and they will carry you out too.”
Iti gwa uPetro akamutambuila, “Ikutulika uli kina migombilye ku palung'wi ku mugema u Ng'wau Ng'welu nua Mukulu? Goza, i migulu a awo naza amu ikile u mugoha nuako ikoli pa mumpita, hangi aku ukenga nu ku utwala kunzi.”
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.
Kupumbugiilya akagwa mu migulu ang'wa Petro, akatinanga inkolo, ni awo i ahumba akapembya mu kati akamuhanga wakondyaa kusha. Akamukenka nu kumutwala kunzi, nu kumuika pakupi nu mugoha nuakwe.
11 The whole Church and all who heard of these events were appalled.
Woa ukulu ukapembya migulya a itekeelo lihi, nu migulya a ihi nai igulye i makani aya.
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;
Ilingasiilyo idu nu ukuilwa ai yatulaa yukupumila mukati a antu ku kiila mikono a itumi. Ai atulaa palung'wi mi itando nilang'wa Sulemani.
13 but of the rest no one ventured to join them. On the other hand, the people were full of their praise,
Kuiti, kutili u muntu mungiiza nui nsuta nai watulaa nu ugimya nua kuambinkana ni enso; ga ni iti, ai inkiigwe ikulyo migulya a antu.
14 and still larger numbers, both of men and women, as they became believers in the Lord, were added to their number.
Ga ni ahuiili idu ai atulaa akongeeleka ku Mukulu, ingele nkulu a agoha ni asungu.
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 some one of them.
ngeli kina ga nai akenkile u ulwae mu kisali, nu kualalisha mu ulili nu mu makoshi, iti kina uPetro anga watule ukukila u mululi nuakwe uhume kusima migulya ao.
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 every one.
Ga ni pan'wanso, ngele nkulu a antu ai apembilye kupuma isali ni ipilimikiiye iYerusalemu, aze a aletile i alwae ni ihi nai ahalinkaniwe ni nkolo ni nshafu, ni ihi ai agunilwe.
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,
Kuiti u kuhani nu mukulu ai unyansukile, hangi ihi nai atulaa palung'wi nu ng'wenso ( naza ingi a makumbiko a asadukayo); hangi ai izuiwe nu wilu
18 arrested the Apostles, and had them placed in custody.
akagoola i mikono ao kua amba i itumi nu kua ika mukati a kadulumu nila mu hangu.
19 An angel of the Lord, however, opened the prison doors at night and led them out.
Ni matungo a utiku u malaika nua Mukulu akamilugula i milango a kadulumu nu kuatongeela kunzi nu kuligitya.
20 “Go,” he said, “and stand in the Temple Courts, and tell the people the whole Message of this new Life.”
Longoli, mimike mi tekeelo nu kuatambuila i antu imakani ihi na upanga uwu.”
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 leading men among the Israelites, and sent to the jail to fetch the Apostles.
Nai akija ili, ai ingie mi tekeelo matungo a maniambwa nu kumanyisa. Kuiti, u kuhani nu mukulu ai uzile ni ihi nai akoli nu ng'wenso, nu kitangiisa i anza lihi ku palung'wi, ni anyampala ihi nia antu a Israeli, nu kua lagiilya mu kadulumu iti kualeta i itumi.
22 But, when the officers got there, they did not find them in the prison; so they returned and reported that,
Kuiti i anyamulimo nai akalongola, shanga ai a ahangile mu kadulumu, ai asukile nu kuaganuila.
23 while they had found the goal barred securely and the guards posted at the doors, yet, on opening them, they had not found any one inside.
Kuhangile i kadulumu ilugaiwe iza, ni asunja imikile pa mulango, kuiti nai katula ku ulugula, shanga kihenga u muntu mukati.”
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.
Itungili itngo u jemedari nua itekeelo ni akuhani akulu nai akija i makani aya, ai ingiiwe nu woa ukulu ku nsoko ao, azesiga likutulika uli ikani ili.
25 Presently, however, some one came and told them, that the men whom they had put in prison were actually standing in the Temple Courts, teaching the people.
Uugwa ung'wi akapembya nu kuatambuila, “iAntu naza muaikile mu kadulumu imikile mi itekeelo nu kumanyisa i antu.”
26 On this, the Officer went with his men and fetched the Apostles — without using violence, for they were afraid of being stoned by the people —
Iti gwa u jemedari ai ulongoe palung'wi ni anyamulimo, nu kualeta, kuiti bila a kituma u minyomo, ku nsoko ai a itumbile i antu akuhuma a akue ku magwe.
27 And then brought them before the Council. The High Priest demanded an explanation from them.
Nai akondya kualeta, ai a ikile ntongeela a ianza, uKuhani nu mukulu aka akolya, azeligitya,
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.”
“Aza kulagiiye muleke kumanyisa ku lina ili, hangi mukili mumizuiye i Yerusalemu ku umanyisa nuanyu, nu kuhung'wa nsula a kuleta isakami a muntu uyu migulya itu.
29 To this Peter and the Apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than men.
Kuiti uPetro ni itumi aka sukiilya. “Kusinja kumukulye Itunda kukila i antu.
30 The God of our ancestors raised Jesus, whom you put to death by hanging him on a cross.
Itunda nua atata itu ai umiukilye uYesu, nai mumubulagile, ku kumutumbika migulya i ikota.
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.
Itunda ai umukuiye mu mukono nuakwe nua kigoha, nu kumuzipya kutula Mukulu hangi muguni, kupumya upeli ku Israeli, nu ulekelwa nua milandu.
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.”
Usese ingi akuiili nia makani aya, nu Ng'wau Ng'welu, naiza Itunda umupumilye ku awo ni imukulyaa.”
33 The members of the Council became frantic with rage on hearing this, and were for putting the Apostles to death.
Ianyi anza nai akija iti, ai a ambilwe ni ikuo akalowa kuabulaga i itumi.
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.
Kuiti u pharisayo nai witangwaa Gamalieli, ng'walimu nua malagiilyo, nai ukuigwe ni antu ihi, ai wimikile nu kualagiilya i itumi aholwe kunzi ku itungo ikupi.
35 He then said: “Men of Israel, take care as to what you intend to do with these men.
Iti gwa aka atambuila, “Agoha nia Israeli, tuli ahugu nangaluu ni iko ni mukusigiila kua tendeela i antu awa.
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.
Ku nsoko, ikali niaki ilee, uTheuda ai wimikile nu kitendiisa kutula muntu mukulu, ni ngele a antu, apikiie magana anne ai amutyatile. Ai ubulagilwe, ni ihi nai atulaa amukuiye ai asapatie nu kulimila.
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.
Ze yajilaa u muntu uyu, uYuda mu Galilaya, ai uhumbukile i mahiku nanso nia kukilisigwa ualigwa, aka aluta i antu idu ku kituli kakwe. Nu ng'wenso ga ai ulimie ni ihi nai atulaa amukuiye ai asapatie.
38 And, in this present case, my advice to you is not to interfere with these men, but to let them alone, for, if their designs and their work are merely of human origin, they will come to an end;
Itungili ku mutambuila, ihuji ni antu awa hangi mualeke i akola, ku nsoko, anga i masigo aya ang'wi mulimo uwu ingi wa antu ukugung'wa.
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!”
Kuiti anga utule wang'wa Itunda, shanga mukuhuma ku ugilya; muhumile ga ukuhanga muki kilya ni Itunda.” Iti gwa, ai alutilwe ni imakani akwe.
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.
Uugwa, ai aitangile i itumi nuku a kua nu kualagiilya aleke kuligitya ku lina nilang'wa Yesu, nu kualeka alongole yao.
41 But the Apostles left the Council, rejoicing that they had been thought worthy to suffer disgrace for that Name;
Ai ahegile ntongeela a ianza aze iloile ku soko a aligwa kutula akagisha nu kuhita ku kuligwa ku nsoko a lina ni lanso.
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.
Ku lulo, kila luhiku, mukati i tekeelo nu kupuma mi ito kupikiil ito ai alongolekile kumanyisa nu kutanantya uYesu kina Musagulwa.
