Atũmwo 4
1 Nao athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na mũnene wa arangĩri a hekarũ, o na Asadukai magĩthiĩ harĩ Petero na Johana rĩrĩa maaragĩria andũ.
And as they are speaking to the people, there came to them the priests, and the magistrate of the temple, and the Sadducees—
2 Nĩmaiguĩte ũũru mũno tondũ atũmwo nĩmarutaga andũ na makahunjia ũhoro wa kũriũka kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ thĩinĩ wa Jesũ.
being grieved because of their teaching the people, and preaching in Jesus the resurrection out of the dead—
3 Makĩnyiita Petero na Johana, na tondũ kwarĩ hwaĩ-inĩ, makĩmaikia njeera nginya mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ warũmĩrĩire.
and they laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was evening already;
4 No rĩrĩ, andũ aingĩ arĩa maiguire ndũmĩrĩri ĩyo nĩmetĩkirie, naguo mũigana wa arũme ũkĩongerereka magĩkinya ta 5,000.
and many of those hearing the word believed, and the number of the men became, as it were, five thousand.
5 Mũthenya ũyũ ũngĩ, aathani ao na athuuri, na arutani a watho makĩgomana kũu Jerusalemu.
And it came to pass the next day, there were gathered together of them the rulers, and elders, and scribes, to 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.
and Annas the chief priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the chief priest,
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?”
and having set them in the midst, they were inquiring, “In what power, or in what name did you do this?”
8 Nake Petero, aiyũrĩtwo nĩ Roho Mũtheru, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ aathani na athuuri a andũ!
Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
9 Angĩkorwo twĩtĩtwo ũmũthĩ nĩgeetha tũtaarĩrie ũhoro wa gĩĩko kĩega kĩrĩa gĩĩkĩirwo mũndũ ũcio ũratũũrĩte arĩ mwonju, na tũũrio ũrĩa arahonirio-rĩ,
if we are examined today concerning the good deed to the ailing man, by whom he has been saved,
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.
be it known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised out of the dead, in Him has this one stood by before you whole.
11 We nĩwe “‘ihiga rĩrĩa inyuĩ aaki mwaregire, na nĩrĩo rĩtuĩkĩte ihiga rĩrĩa inene rĩa koine.’
This is the stone that was set at nothing by you—the builders, that became head of a corner;
12 Naguo ũhonokio ndũngĩoneka harĩ mũndũ ũngĩ o wothe, nĩ ũndũ gũtirĩ rĩĩtwa rĩngĩ gũkũ thĩ rĩheanĩtwo kũrĩ andũ rĩngĩtũhonokia.”
and there is not salvation in any other, for there is no other name under Heaven that has been given among men, in which it is required of us to be saved.”
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.
And beholding the openness of Peter and John, and having perceived that they are illiterate men and commoners, they were wondering—they were also taking knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus—
14 No rĩrĩ, mona mũndũ ũcio wahonetio arũgamĩte hamwe nao-rĩ, matingĩahotire kuuga ũndũ.
and seeing the man standing with them who has been healed, they had nothing to say against [it],
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩmaatha mehere Kĩama-inĩ, nao athuuri magĩciira marĩ oiki.
and having commanded them to go away out of the Sanhedrin, they took counsel with one another,
16 Makĩũrania atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya tũkũmeeka atĩa? Andũ othe arĩa matũũraga Jerusalemu nĩmooĩ atĩ nĩmaringĩte kĩama kĩnene na tũtingĩhota gũkaana ũhoro wakĩo.
saying, “What will we do to these men? Because that, indeed, a notable sign has been done through them [is] apparent to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, and we are not able to deny [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 that it may spread no further toward the people, let us strictly threaten them to no longer speak in this Name to any man.”
18 Magĩcooka makĩmeeta thĩinĩ rĩngĩ na makĩmaatha atĩ matikaarie kana marutane o na atĩa na rĩĩtwa rĩa Jesũ.
And having called them, they charged them not to speak at all, nor to teach, in the Name of Jesus,
19 No Petero na Johana makĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Tuai ciira inyuĩ ene kana nĩ kwagĩrĩire maitho-inĩ ma Ngai tũmwathĩkĩre inyuĩ gũkĩra gwathĩkĩra Ngai.
and Peter and John answering to them said, “Whether it is righteous before God to listen to you rather than to God, judge;
20 Nĩgũkorwo tũtingĩhota gũtiga kwaria ũrĩa tuonete na tũkaigua.”
for we cannot but speak what we saw 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.
And they having further threatened [them], let them go, finding no way how they may punish them, because of the people, because all were glorifying God for that which has been done,
22 Nĩgũkorwo mũndũ ũcio wahonetio na njĩra ya kĩama aarĩ na ũkũrũ wa makĩria ma mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna.
for above forty years of age was the man on whom had been done this sign of the healing.
23 Na rĩrĩa Petero na Johana maarekereirio, magĩthiĩ kũrĩ andũ a thiritũ yao, na makĩmeera ũrĩa wothe athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene na athuuri maameerĩte.
And being let go, they went to their own friends, and declared whatever the chief priests and the elders 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.
and they having heard, lifted up the voice to God with one accord and said, “LORD, You [are] God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all that [are] 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?
who, through the mouth of Your servant David, said, Why did nations rage, and peoples meditate vain things?
26 Athamaki a thĩ nĩmatuĩte itua, na aathani magacookania ndundu, nĩguo mokĩrĩre Mwathani, na mokĩrĩre Ũrĩa wake Mũitĩrĩrie Maguta.’
The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the LORD and against His Christ;
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.
for gathered together of a truth against Your holy child Jesus, whom You anointed, were both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with nations and peoples of Israel,
28 O mekire ũrĩa hinya waku na wendi waku watuĩte o mbere atĩ nĩguo gũgaatuĩka.
to do whatever Your hand and Your counsel determined before to come to pass.
29 Na rĩrĩ, Mwathani, kĩone ũrĩa matwĩhĩire, na ũkĩhotithie ndungata ciaku kwaria kiugo gĩaku irĩ na ũũmĩrĩru mũingĩ.
And now, LORD, look on their threatenings, and grant to Your servants to speak Your word with all freedom,
30 Tambũrũkia guoko gwaku ũhonanie, na ũringe ciama na morirũ na ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jesũ, ndungata yaku theru.”
in the stretching forth of Your hand, for healing, and signs, and wonders, to come to pass through the Name of Your holy child Jesus.”
31 Nao maarĩkia kũhooya, handũ hau moonganĩte hagĩthingitha. Nao othe makĩiyũrwo nĩ Roho Mũtheru, makĩaria kiugo kĩa Ngai marĩ na ũcamba.
And they having prayed, the place was shaken in which they were gathered together, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and were speaking the word of God with freedom,
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.
and of the multitude of those who believed, the heart and the soul were one, and not one was saying that anything of the things he had was his own, but all things were in common to them.
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.
And with great power the apostles were giving the testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, great grace was also on 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,
for there was not anyone among them who lacked, for as many as were possessors of fields, or houses, selling [them], were bringing the prices of the thing sold,
35 magaciiga magũrũ-inĩ ma atũmwo, nacio ikagaĩrwo mũndũ o mũndũ kũringana na bata wake.
and were laying them at the feet of the apostles, and distribution was being made to each according as anyone had need.
36 Jusufu, Mũlawii wa kuuma Kuporo, ũrĩa atũmwo meetaga Baranaba (ũguo nĩ kuuga Mũrũ wa Ũũmanĩrĩria),
And Joses, who was surnamed by the apostles Barnabas—which is, having been interpreted, Son of Comfort—a Levite, of Cyprus by birth,
37 nĩendirie gĩthaka gĩake na akĩrehe mbeeca icio, agĩciiga magũrũ-inĩ ma atũmwo.
a field being his, having sold [it], brought the money and laid [it] at the feet of the apostles.
