Atũmwo 3
1 Mũthenya ũmwe Petero na Johana nĩmambatire magĩthiĩ hekarũ-inĩ ihinda rĩa mahooya, na kwarĩ thaa kenda cia mũthenya.
One day, as Peter and John were going up into the Temple Courts for the three o’clock Prayers, a man, who had been lame from his birth, was being carried by.
2 Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ waciarĩtwo arĩ mwonju nĩakuuagwo agatwarwo kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa hekarũ kĩrĩa gĩetagwo Gĩthaka, akaigwo ho o mũthenya nĩguo ahooe mbeeca kũrĩ andũ arĩa maatoonyaga hekarũ.
This man used to be set down every day at the gate of the Temple called ‘the Beautiful Gate,’ to beg of those who went in.
3 Na rĩrĩa onire Petero na Johana marĩ hakuhĩ gũtoonya-rĩ, akĩmahooya mbeeca.
Seeing Peter and John on the point of entering, he asked them to give him something.
4 Nao Petero na Johana makĩmũkũũrĩra maitho. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Petero akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ta tũrore!”
Peter fixed his eyes on him, and so did John, and then Peter said: “Look at us.”
5 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũndũ ũcio akĩmarora, erĩgĩrĩire atĩ nĩmekũmũhe kĩndũ.
The man was all attention, expecting to get something from them;
6 Petero agĩcooka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Betha na thahabu ndirĩ nacio, no kĩrĩa ndĩ nakĩo nĩkĩo ngũkũhe. Thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jesũ Kristũ wa Nazarethi, ũkĩra wĩtware.”
but Peter added: “I have no gold or silver, but I give you what I have. In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I bid you walk.”
7 Akĩmũnyiita guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo, akĩmũrũgamia na igũrũ, na o hĩndĩ ĩyo magũrũ na thũngʼwa cia mũndũ ũcio ikĩgĩa na hinya.
Grasping the lame man by the right hand, Peter lifted him up. Instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong,
8 Nake akĩrũga na igũrũ, akĩambĩrĩria gwĩtwara. Agĩcooka agĩthiĩ nao hekarũ-inĩ, etwarĩte na magũrũ, akĩrũgarũgaga na akĩgoocaga Ngai.
and, leaping up, he stood and began to walk about, and then went with them into the Temple Courts, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9 Rĩrĩa andũ othe monire agĩĩtwara na magũrũ akĩgoocaga Ngai,
All the people saw him walking about and praising God;
10 makĩmenya atĩ nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa watũũraga aikarĩte kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa hekarũ kĩrĩa gĩetagwo Gĩthaka akĩhooya mbeeca. Nao makĩgega mamakĩte nĩkuona ũrĩa kwahanĩkĩte harĩ mũndũ ũcio.
and, when they recognised him as the man who used to sit begging at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple, they were utterly astonished and amazed at what had happened to him.
11 Mũndũ ũcio watũũrĩte ahooyaga mbeeca-rĩ, o enyiitĩrĩire Petero na Johana, andũ othe makĩgega na magĩũka matengʼerete nginya hau maarĩ, naho heetagwo Gĩthaku gĩa Solomoni.
While the man still clung to Peter and John, the people all quickly gathered round them in the Colonnade named after Solomon, in the greatest astonishment.
12 Rĩrĩa Petero onire ũguo, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya a Isiraeli, ũndũ ũyũ ũramũgegia nĩkĩ? Mũratũrora atĩa taarĩ hinya witũ kana ũthingu witũ watũma mũndũ ũyũ etware na magũrũ?
On seeing this, Peter said to the people: “Men of Israel, why are you surprised at this? and why do you stare at us, as though we, by any power or piety of our own, had enabled this man to walk?
13 Ngai wa Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka na Jakubu, o we Ngai wa maithe maitũ, nĩagoocithĩtie ndungata yake Jesũ. Inyuĩ nĩmwamũneanire ooragwo, na mũkĩmũkaana mbere ya Pilato, o na gũtuĩka nĩatuĩte itua rĩa kũmũrekereria.
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our ancestors, has done honour to his Servant Jesus — him whom you gave up and disowned before Pilate, when he had decided to set him free.
14 Mwakaanire Ũrĩa Mũtheru na Mũthingu mũkiuga muohorerwo mũũragani.
You, I say, disowned the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for the release of a murderer!
15 Mworagire ũrĩa mũheani wa muoyo, no Ngai nĩamũriũkirie kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ. Ithuĩ tũrĩ aira a ũhoro ũcio.
The very Guide to Life you put to death! But God raised him from the dead — and of that we are ourselves witnesses.
16 Nĩ ũndũ wa wĩtĩkio thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jesũ, mũndũ ũyũ mũrona na mũũĩ, nĩagĩĩte na hinya. Nĩ rĩĩtwa rĩa Jesũ na wĩtĩkio ũrĩa uumanaga nake watũma mũndũ ũyũ ahone o ta ũrĩa inyuothe mũreyonera.
And it is by faith in the Name of Jesus, that this man, whom you all see and know, has — by his Name — been made strong. Yes, it is the faith inspired by Jesus that has made this complete cure of the man, before the eyes of you all.
17 “Na rĩrĩ, ariũ a Ithe witũ, nĩnjũũĩ atĩ mwekire ũguo nĩ ũndũ wa kũrigwo, o ta ũrĩa atongoria anyu o nao meekire.
And yet, my Brothers, I know that you acted as you did from ignorance, and your rulers also.
18 No rĩrĩ, ũguo nĩguo Ngai aahingirie ũrĩa aarĩtie o mbere na tũnua twa anabii othe, akiuga atĩ Kristũ wake nĩakanyariirĩka.
But it was in this way that God fulfilled all that he had long ago foretold, as to the sufferings of his Christ, by the lips of all the Prophets.
19 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwĩrirei na mũgarũrũke kũrĩ Ngai, nĩgeetha mehia manyu meherio, nĩguo mũgĩe na mahinda ma kũrurumũkio moimĩte kũrĩ Mwathani, na
Therefore, repent and turn, that your sins may be wiped away; so that happier times may come from the Lord himself,
20 nĩguo atũme Kristũ, o we ũrĩa wamũrĩtwo nĩ ũndũ wanyu, nake nĩwe Jesũ.
and that he may send you, in Jesus, your long-appointed Christ.
21 We no nginya aikare igũrũ o nginya ihinda rĩkinye rĩa Ngai rĩa gũcookereria maũndũ mothe, o ta ũrĩa eranĩire o tene na tũnua twa anabii aake atheru. (aiōn g165)
But Heaven must be his home, until the days of the Universal Restoration, of which God has spoken by the lips of his holy Prophets from the very first. (aiōn g165)
22 Nĩgũkorwo Musa oigire atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Ngai wanyu nĩakamwarahũrĩra mũnabii o ta niĩ kuuma kũrĩ andũ anyu. Na no nginya mũgaathikĩrĩria ũrĩa wothe akaamwĩra.
Moses himself said — ‘The Lord your God will raise up from among your brothers a Prophet, as he raised me. To him you will listen whenever he speaks to you.
23 Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũtakamũthikĩrĩria, nĩakeherio biũ kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao.’
And it shall be that should any one among the people not listen to that Prophet, he will be utterly destroyed.’
24 “Ti-itherũ, anabii othe kuuma hĩndĩ ya Samũeli, arĩa manaaria, nĩ maaririe ũhoro wa matukũ maya.
Yes, and all the Prophets from Samuel onwards, and all their successors who had a message to deliver, told of these days.
25 Na inyuĩ mũrĩ ariũ a anabii, na a kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa Ngai aarĩkanĩire na maithe manyu. Eerire Iburahĩmu atĩrĩ, ‘Na nĩ ũndũ wa rũciaro rwaku, andũ othe a thĩ nĩmakarathimwo.’
You yourselves are the heirs of the Prophets, and heirs, too, of the Covenant which God made with your ancestors, when he said to Abraham — ‘In your descendants will all the nations of the earth be blessed.’
26 Rĩrĩa Ngai aariũkirie ndungata yake, aambire kũmĩtũma kũrĩ inyuĩ nĩgeetha amũrathime na ũndũ wa kũgarũra o ũmwe wanyu kuuma kũrĩ mĩtũũrĩre yanyu ya waganu.”
For you, first, God raised up his Servant, and sent him to bless you, by turning each one of you from his wicked ways.”
