Atũmwo 4
1 Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na mũnene wa arangĩri a hekarũ, o na Asadukai magĩthiĩ harĩ Petero na Johana rĩrĩa maaragĩria andũ.
While they were talking to the people, the priests, the captain of the Temple guard, and the Sadducees came up to them.
2 Nĩmaiguĩte ũũru mũno tondũ atũmwo nĩmarutaga andũ na makahunjia ũhoro wa kũriũka kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ thĩinĩ wa Jesũ.
They were angry that they were teaching the people, telling them that through Jesus there is resurrection from the dead.
3 Makĩnyiita Petero na Johana, na tondũ kwarĩ hwaĩ-inĩ, makĩmaikia njeera nginya mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ warũmĩrĩire.
They arrested them and placed them under guard until the following day since it was already evening.
4 No rĩrĩ, andũ aingĩ arĩa maiguire ndũmĩrĩri ĩyo nĩmetĩkirie, naguo mũigana wa arũme ũkĩongerereka magĩkinya ta 5,000.
But many who had heard the message believed it, and the total number of believers grew to about five thousand.
5 Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ, aathani ao na athuuri, na arutani a watho makĩgomana kũu Jerusalemu.
The next day, the rulers, elders, and religious leaders met together in Jerusalem.
6 Nake Anasi, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene, aarĩ ho, marĩ na Kaiafa, na Johana, na Alekisandero, na andũ arĩa angĩ maarĩ a nyũmba ya mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene.
They included the high priest Annas, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and others of the high priest's family.
7 Magĩathana atĩ Petero na Johana mareehwo mbere yao, na makĩambĩrĩria kũmooria ciũria. Makĩmooria atĩrĩ, “Mũrahotire gwĩka ũndũ ũcio na hinya ũrĩkũ, kana na rĩĩtwa rĩrĩkũ?”
They brought Peter and John before them and asked, “By what power or by whose authority have you done this?”
8 Nake Petero, aiyũrĩtwo nĩ Roho Mũtheru, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ aathani na athuuri a andũ!
Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, answered them. “Rulers of the people, and elders:
9 Angĩkorwo twĩtĩtwo ũmũthĩ nĩgeetha tũtaarĩrie ũhoro wa gĩĩko kĩega kĩrĩa gĩĩkĩirwo mũndũ ũcio ũratũũrĩte arĩ mwonju, na tũũrio ũrĩa arahonirio-rĩ,
Are we being interrogated regarding a good deed done to a man who couldn't help himself, and how he came to be healed?
10 kĩmenyei inyuĩ, o na andũ othe a Isiraeli atĩrĩ: Mũndũ ũyũ arũngiĩ mbere yanyu arĩ mũhonu nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jesũ Kristũ wa Nazarethi, ũrĩa mwambithirie, nake Ngai akĩmũriũkia kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ.
If so, all of you should know, and all the people of Israel, that it was in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the one you killed on a cross and whom God raised from the dead—it's because of him that this man stands before you completely healed.
11 We nĩwe “‘ihiga rĩrĩa inyuĩ aaki mwaregire, na nĩrĩo rĩtuĩkĩte ihiga rĩrĩa inene rĩa koine.’
‘He is the stone you builders rejected, but he has been made the chief cornerstone.’
12 Naguo ũhonokio ndũngĩoneka harĩ mũndũ ũngĩ o wothe, nĩ ũndũ gũtirĩ rĩĩtwa rĩngĩ gũkũ thĩ rĩheanĩtwo kũrĩ andũ rĩngĩtũhonokia.”
There is no salvation in anyone else; there is no other name under heaven given to humanity that can possibly save us.”
13 Rĩrĩa monire ũũmĩrĩru wa Petero na Johana, na makĩmenya atĩ matiarĩ athomu, na atĩ maarĩ andũ o ũguo-rĩ, makĩgega na makĩmenya atĩ andũ acio maakoreetwo marĩ na Jesũ.
When they saw Peter and John's confidence, and realized they were uneducated, ordinary men, they were very surprised. They also recognized them as Jesus' companions.
14 No rĩrĩ, mona mũndũ ũcio wahonetio arũgamĩte hamwe nao-rĩ, matingĩahotire kuuga ũndũ.
Since they could see the man who had been healed standing right there with them, they had nothing to say in response to what had happened.
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmaatha mehere Kĩama-inĩ, nao athuuri magĩciira marĩ oiki.
So they instructed them to wait outside the council while they discussed the matter among themselves.
16 Makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya tũkũmeeka atĩa? Andũ othe arĩa matũũraga Jerusalemu nĩmooĩ atĩ nĩmaringĩte kĩama kĩnene na tũtingĩhota gũkaana ũhoro wakĩo.
“What should we do with these men?” they asked. “We can't deny a significant miracle has happened through them. Everybody living here in Jerusalem knows about it.
17 No nĩguo tũgirie ũndũ ũyũ gũthiĩ na mbere makĩria gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ-rĩ, no nginya tũkaanie andũ aya kwarĩria mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ na rĩĩtwa rĩu.”
But to prevent it spreading among the people any further, we should threaten them never to speak to anybody in this name again.”
18 Magĩcooka makĩmeeta thĩinĩ rĩngĩ na makĩmaatha atĩ matikaarie kana marutane o na atĩa na rĩĩtwa rĩa Jesũ.
So they called them back in and ordered them never to speak or teach in the name of Jesus again.
19 No Petero na Johana makĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Tuai ciira inyuĩ ene kana nĩ kwagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Ngai tũmwathĩkĩre inyuĩ gũkĩra gwathĩkĩra Ngai.
But Peter and John responded, “Whether it's right in God's eyes to obey you rather than God—you decide.
20 Nĩgũkorwo tũtingĩhota gũtiga kwaria ũrĩa tuonete na tũkaigua.”
We can't help talking about what we've seen and heard!”
21 Na thuutha wa kũmakaania, maamehĩire mũno, makĩmarekereria mathiĩ. Matingĩahotire gũtua ũrĩa mangĩamaherithirie, tondũ andũ othe nĩmagoocaga Ngai nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa gwekĩkĩte.
After making more threats they let them go. They couldn't work out how to punish them because everyone was glorifying God for what had happened.
22 Nĩgũkorwo mũndũ ũcio wahonetio na njĩra ya kĩama aarĩ na ũkũrũ wa makĩria ma mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna.
For the man who received this miracle of healing was more than forty years old.
23 Na rĩrĩa Petero na Johana maarekereirio, magĩthiĩ kũrĩ andũ a thiritũ yao, na makĩmeera ũrĩa wothe athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na athuuri maameerĩte.
After the disciples had been released, they went to the other believers and told them everything the chief priests and elders had said to them.
24 Rĩrĩa maiguire ũhoro ũcio, makĩanĩrĩra marĩ ngoro ĩmwe makĩhooya Ngai, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Mwathani Jehova, nĩwe wombire igũrũ na thĩ na iria, o na indo ciothe iria irĩ kuo.
When they heard what had happened, they prayed to God together: “Lord, you made heaven and earth and sea, and everything that is in them.
25 Nawe nĩwaririe na ũndũ wa Roho Mũtheru na kanua ka ndungata yaku, o we ithe witũ Daudi, ũkiuga atĩrĩ: “‘Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga ndũrĩrĩ irakare mũno, na andũ mathugunde mĩbango ya tũhũ?
You spoke by the Holy Spirit through David, our forefather and your servant, saying ‘Why did the people of the other nations become so angry? Why did they plot so foolishly against me?
26 Athamaki a thĩ nĩmatuĩte itua, na aathani magacookania ndundu, nĩguo mokĩrĩre Mwathani, na mokĩrĩre Ũrĩa wake Mũitĩrĩrie Maguta.’
The kings of the earth prepared for war the rulers united together against the Lord and against his Chosen One.’
27 Ti-itherũ, Herode na Pontio Pilato nĩmoonganire hamwe na andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ, na andũ a Isiraeli, itũũra-inĩ rĩĩrĩ inene nĩguo mathugunde ũrĩa megũũkĩrĩra Jesũ ndungata yaku theru, o ĩrĩa wee waitĩrĩirie maguta.
Now this has really happened right here in this city! Both Herod and Pontius Pilate, together with the foreigners and the people of Israel, united together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed as Messiah.
28 O mekire ũrĩa hinya waku na wendi waku watuĩte o mbere atĩ nĩguo gũgaatuĩka.
They did whatever you had already decided because you had the power and the will to do it.
29 Na rĩrĩ, Mwathani, kĩone ũrĩa matwĩhĩire, na ũkĩhotithie ndungata ciaku kwaria kiugo gĩaku irĩ na ũũmĩrĩru mũingĩ.
Now Lord: look at all their threats against us! Help us your servants to speak your word really boldly.
30 Tambũrũkia guoko gwaku ũhonanie, na ũringe ciama na morirũ na ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jesũ, ndungata yaku theru.”
As you exercise your power to heal, may signs and miracles be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus!”
31 Nao maarĩkia kũhooya, handũ hau moonganĩte hagĩthingitha. Nao othe makĩiyũrwo nĩ Roho Mũtheru, makĩaria kiugo kĩa Ngai marĩ na ũcamba.
When they had finished praying, the building they were meeting in was shaken. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke the word of God boldly.
32 Nao andũ arĩa othe meetĩkĩtie maarĩ na ngoro ĩmwe na meciiria o mamwe. Gũtiarĩ mũndũ woigaga atĩ kĩndũ o na kĩrĩkũ kĩa indo ciake nĩ gĩake we mwene, no maahũthagĩra indo ciothe iria maarĩ nacio hamwe.
All the believers thought and felt the same way. None of them claimed anything they had as their own, but shared everything with each other.
33 Nao atũmwo, marĩ na hinya mũingĩ, magĩthiĩ na mbere kũheana ũira wa kũriũka kwa Mwathani Jesũ, na wega mũingĩ wa Ngai warĩ igũrũ rĩao.
The apostles gave their testimony regarding the resurrection of the Lord Jesus with tremendous power, and God greatly blessed them all.
34 Gũtiarĩ andũ maagaga kĩndũ gatagatĩ-inĩ kao. Nĩgũkorwo ihinda kwa ihinda andũ arĩa maarĩ na ithaka kana nyũmba nĩmaciendagia, makarehe mbeeca icio mendetie,
None of them needed anything because those who had lands or properties sold them.
35 magaciiga magũrũ-inĩ ma atũmwo, nacio ikagaĩrwo mũndũ o mũndũ kũringana na bata wake.
They took the proceeds and presented them to the apostles to be shared with those in need.
36 Jusufu, Mũlawii wa kuuma Kuporo, ũrĩa atũmwo meetaga Baranaba (ũguo nĩ kuuga Mũrũ wa Ũũmanĩrĩria),
Joseph, the one the apostles called Barnabas (meaning “son of encouragement”), was a Levite, a Cypriot national.
37 nĩendirie gĩthaka gĩake na akĩrehe mbeeca icio, agĩciiga magũrũ-inĩ ma atũmwo.
He sold a field that belonged to him. Then he brought the money and presented it to the apostles.
