< Acts 5 >

1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
Iti gwa, muntu ug'wi nai witangwaa Anania, nu Safira musungu akwe, ai aguiye ipatyo nila nsailo,
2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also knowing of it, and brought a certain 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 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of 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 remained, was it not thy own? and after it was sold, was it not in thy own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? thou hast not lied 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 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and died: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
Mu kija imakani aya, uAnania ai ugwie pihi nu kutinanga inkolo. Nu woa ukulu ai uaziie ihi nai aligulye ili.
6 And the young men arose, wrapped him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
Ahumba akapembya ku ntongeela nu kumuikila mu sanda, nu kumutwala kunzi nu kumuika.
7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
Ze yakilaa masaa ataatu iti, u musungu nuakwe ai wingie mukati, aze shanga ulingile naza katulaa kipumie.
8 And Peter answered to her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
uPetro akamutambuila, “Ntambuile, anga aza ize muguiye u mugunda ku nsailo nanso.” Akaigitya, “Uu, ku nsailo yiyo.”
9 Then Peter said to her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them who have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
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 Then she fell down immediately at his feet, and died: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.
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 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.
Woa ukulu ukapembya migulya a itekeelo lihi, nu migulya a ihi nai igulye i makani aya.
12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; ( and they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.
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 And of the rest dared no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.
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 believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)
Ga ni ahuiili idu ai atulaa akongeeleka ku Mukulu, ingele nkulu a agoha ni asungu.
15 So that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some 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 There came also a multitude out of the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick persons, and them who were afflicted with unclean spirits: and they were healed 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 Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, ( which is the sect of the Sadducees, ) and were filled with indignation,
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 And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
akagoola i mikono ao kua amba i itumi nu kua ika mukati a kadulumu nila mu hangu.
19 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,
Ni matungo a utiku u malaika nua Mukulu akamilugula i milango a kadulumu nu kuatongeela kunzi nu kuligitya.
20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
Longoli, mimike mi tekeelo nu kuatambuila i antu imakani ihi na upanga uwu.”
21 And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
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 came, and found them not in the prison, they returned, and told,
Kuiti i anyamulimo nai akalongola, shanga ai a ahangile mu kadulumu, ai asukile nu kuaganuila.
23 Saying, The prison truly we found shut with all safety, and the keepers standing outside before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.
Kuhangile i kadulumu ilugaiwe iza, ni asunja imikile pa mulango, kuiti nai katula ku ulugula, shanga kihenga u muntu mukati.”
24 Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they were greatly perplexed about them as to what would come of this.
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 Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
Uugwa ung'wi akapembya nu kuatambuila, “iAntu naza muaikile mu kadulumu imikile mi itekeelo nu kumanyisa i antu.”
26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.
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 when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,
Nai akondya kualeta, ai a ikile ntongeela a ianza, uKuhani nu mukulu aka akolya, azeligitya,
28 Saying, Did we not strictly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.
“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 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
Kuiti uPetro ni itumi aka sukiilya. “Kusinja kumukulye Itunda kukila i antu.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
Itunda nua atata itu ai umiukilye uYesu, nai mumubulagile, ku kumutumbika migulya i ikota.
31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, 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 his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Spirit, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
Usese ingi akuiili nia makani aya, nu Ng'wau Ng'welu, naiza Itunda umupumilye ku awo ni imukulyaa.”
33 When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.
Ianyi anza nai akija iti, ai a ambilwe ni ikuo akalowa kuabulaga i itumi.
34 Then stood up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little time;
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 And said to them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do concerning these men.
Iti gwa aka atambuila, “Agoha nia Israeli, tuli ahugu nangaluu ni iko ni mukusigiila kua tendeela i antu awa.
36 For before these days rose Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.
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 this man rose Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away many people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, 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 now I say to you, Stay away from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work is from men, it will come to nothing:
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 it is from God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest perhaps ye be found even to fight 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 And to him they assented: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
Uugwa, ai aitangile i itumi nuku a kua nu kualagiilya aleke kuligitya ku lina nilang'wa Yesu, nu kualeka alongole yao.
41 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his 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 daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
Ku lulo, kila luhiku, mukati i tekeelo nu kupuma mi ito kupikiil ito ai alongolekile kumanyisa nu kutanantya uYesu kina Musagulwa.
