Atũmwo 5
1 Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ wetagwo Anania, marĩ hamwe na mũtumia wake Safira o nao nĩmendirie gĩcunjĩ gĩa gĩthaka kĩao.
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold property,
2 Anania agĩĩtigĩria mbeeca imwe, no icio ingĩ agĩcirehe na agĩciiga magũrũ-inĩ ma atũmwo, nake mũtumia wake Safira agĩkorwo nĩooĩ ũhoro ũcio wega.
and kept back from the price, his wife also having joint awareness. And having brought a certain part, he placed it at the apostles' feet.
3 Nowe Petero akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Anania, nĩ kĩĩ ngoro yaku ĩiyũrĩtwo nĩ Shaitani ũguo, agatũma ũheenie Roho Mũtheru, na ũgetigĩria mbeeca imwe cia iria wendetie gĩthaka?
But Peter said, Ananias, why did Satan fill thy heart for thee to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back from the price of the land?
4 Rĩrĩa ũtarakĩendetie-rĩ, githĩ gĩtirarĩ gĩaku? Na thuutha wa gũkĩendia-rĩ, githĩ mbeeca itirakĩrĩ o ciaku wĩke nacio o ũrĩa ũkwenda? Ũreciiririe gwĩka ũguo nĩkĩ? Ti andũ ũheenetie, no nĩ Ngai.”
While it remained, did it not remain to thee? And after it was sold, it was in thine authority. Why is it that thou have placed this matter in thy heart? Thou have not lied to men, but to God.
5 Rĩrĩa Anania aiguire ũguo-rĩ, akĩgũa thĩ na agĩkua. Nao andũ arĩa othe maiguire ũrĩa kwahaana makĩiyũrwo nĩ guoya.
And Ananias hearing these words, after falling down he expired. And great fear developed in all who heard these things.
6 Nao aanake magĩũka, makĩoha mwĩrĩ wake na cuka, makĩuumia nja na makĩũthika.
And after rising the young men wrapped him, and having carried him out they buried him.
7 Thuutha wa ta mathaa matatũ-rĩ, mũtumia wake agĩtoonya atekũmenya ũrĩa gwekĩkĩte.
And it came to pass after an interval of three hours, his wife also came in, not knowing that which happened.
8 Petero akĩmũũria atĩrĩ, “Ta njĩĩra atĩrĩ, ici nĩcio mbeeca iria wee na Anania mũrendirie gĩthaka?” Nake mũtumia ũcio agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, nĩcio tũrendirie.”
And Peter responded to her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yes, for so much.
9 Petero akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte mũrĩĩkanĩre mũgerie Roho wa Mwathani? Atĩrĩrĩ, magũrũ ma andũ arĩa maathika mũthuuriguo marĩ mũromo-inĩ, nĩmegũkuumia nja o nawe.”
But Peter said to her, How is it that it was agreed by you to challenge the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who buried thy husband are at the door, and they will carry thee out.
10 O kahinda kau akĩgũa thĩ magũrũ-inĩ make, agĩkua. Nao aanake magĩtoonya, makĩmũkora akuĩte, makĩmuoya, magĩthiĩ, makĩmũthika hakuhĩ na mũthuuriwe.
And immediately she fell down at his feet and expired. And after coming in the young men found her dead, and having carried her out, they buried her by her husband.
11 Naguo kanitha wothe, hamwe na andũ arĩa othe maiguire maũndũ macio makĩnyiitwo nĩ guoya mũnene.
And great fear developed in the whole church, and in all who heard these things.
12 Na rĩrĩ, atũmwo nĩmaringire ciama nyingĩ, na makĩonania morirũ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ. Nao andũ arĩa othe metĩkĩtie nĩmagomanaga hamwe Gĩthaku-inĩ gĩa Solomoni.
And by the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders happened among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
13 Gũtirĩ mũndũ wacookire kũgeria gwĩturanĩra nao, o na gũtuĩka andũ nĩmamaheete gĩtĩĩo mũno.
But of the rest no man dared join them, but the people magnified them.
14 O na kũrĩ ũguo-rĩ, arũme na andũ-a-nja aingĩ nĩmetĩkirie Mwathani, naguo mũigana wao ũkĩongerereka.
And more who believe were added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women,
15 Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo, andũ nĩmareehaga andũ arĩa arũaru njĩra-inĩ, makamakomeria itanda na ibarĩ, nĩguo naarĩ amwe ao mahutio nĩ kĩĩruru gĩa Petero.
so as to bring the feeble to the thoroughfares, and to place them on cots and mats, so that while coming, the shadow of Peter might at the least overshadow some of them.
16 Ningĩ andũ aingĩ nĩmonganaga hamwe moimĩte matũũra-inĩ marĩa maathiũrũrũkĩirie Jerusalemu, makareehaga andũ ao arĩa arũaru, na arĩa maanyariiragwo nĩ ngoma thũku, nao othe makahonio.
And also the populace of the cities round about came together to Jerusalem bringing the feeble, and those tormented by unclean spirits, who were all healed.
17 Na rĩrĩ, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene na andũ arĩa othe maakoragwo nake, arĩa maarĩ a thiritũ ya Asadukai, makĩiyũrwo nĩ ũiru.
But after rising up, the high priest and all those with him (being the sect of the Sadducees) were filled of envy.
18 Makĩnyiita atũmwo, makĩmaikia njeera ĩrĩa ya mũingĩ.
And they threw their hands on the apostles, and put them in the public prison.
19 No ũtukũ-rĩ, mũraika wa Mwathani akĩhingũra mĩrango ya njeera, na akĩmoimia nja.
But an agent of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and after leading them out, he said,
20 Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũrũgame hekarũ-inĩ, mwĩre andũ ũhoro wothe wa muoyo ũyũ mwerũ.”
Go ye, and after standing in the temple, speak to the people all the sayings of this Life.
21 Na rĩrĩ, ruoro rũgĩtema magĩtoonya hekarũ-inĩ, na makĩambĩrĩria kũruta andũ o ta ũrĩa meerĩĩtwo. Rĩrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene na andũ arĩa maakoragwo nake maakinyire-rĩ, magĩcookanĩrĩria Kĩama, kĩũngano gĩa athuuri othe a Isiraeli, na magĩtũmana njeera atũmwo magĩĩrwo.
And having heard, they entered into the temple at early morning, and taught. But the high priest having arrived, and those with him, they called the council together, and all the senate of the sons of Israel. And they sent to the prison for them to be brought.
22 No rĩrĩa thigari ciakinyire njeera-rĩ, itiamakorire kuo. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, magĩcookia ũhoro makĩmeera atĩrĩ,
But the subordinates who came did not find them in the prison. And having returned, they reported,
23 “Twakora mĩrango ya njeera ĩrĩ mĩhinge wega, nao arangĩri marũgamĩte mĩrango-inĩ; no twamĩhingũra, tũtinakora mũndũ kũu thĩinĩ.”
saying, We found the prison indeed shut in all security, and the guards standing before the doors, but after opening, we found no man inside.
24 Rĩrĩa mũnene wa arangĩri a hekarũ na athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene maiguire ũhoro ũcio makĩmaka na makĩrigwo nĩ ũrĩa gũgũikara.
Now when they heard these words, the high priest, and the captain of the temple, and the chief priests, were perplexed about them, whatever this would become.
25 Hĩndĩ ĩyo hagĩũka mũndũ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ta rorai! Andũ arĩa mũraikirie njeera marũgamĩte hekarũ-inĩ makĩruta andũ.”
But a certain man who arrived, reported to them, Behold, the men whom ye put in the prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people.
26 Maigua ũguo, mũnene wa arangĩri a hekarũ agĩthiĩ na anene a thigari ciake na makĩrehe atũmwo. Matiigana kũhũthĩra hinya, tondũ nĩmetigagĩra andũ matikamahũũre na mahiga nyuguto.
Then after departing, the captain with the subordinates brought them, not with violence, for they feared the people, lest they would be stoned.
27 Maarĩkia kũrehe atũmwo-rĩ, makĩmarũgamia mbere ya Kĩama nĩguo morio ciũria nĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene.
And having brought them, they placed them in the council. And the high priest demanded them,
28 Nake akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Githĩ tũtiramũkaanirie biũ mũtikarutane na rĩĩtwa rĩĩrĩ, no rĩu mũiyũrĩtie Jerusalemu ũrutani wanyu, na nĩmwĩrutanĩirie gũtũma tũcookererwo nĩ thakame ya mũndũ ũcio.”
saying, Did we not command by an order for you not to teach in this name? And behold, ye have filled Jerusalem of your doctrine, and intend to bring upon us this man's blood.
29 Petero na atũmwo acio angĩ magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ no nginya twathĩkĩre Ngai gũkĩra gwathĩkĩra andũ!
And Peter and the apostles having answered, they said, We must obey God rather than men.
30 Ngai wa maithe maitũ nĩariũkirie Jesũ kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ, ũrĩa mworagire na ũndũ wa kũmwamba mũtĩ-igũrũ.
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye murdered, having hung on a tree.
31 Ngai nĩamũtũgĩririe akĩmũiga guoko-inĩ gwake kwa ũrĩo arĩ Mũthamaki na Mũhonokia nĩguo Isiraeli merire na marekerwo mehia.
God exalted this man with his right hand, a Pathfinder and a Savior to give repentance to Israel and remission of sins.
32 Ithuĩ tũrĩ aira a maũndũ macio, nake Roho Mũtheru, ũrĩa Ngai aheete andũ arĩa mamwathĩkagĩra-rĩ, o nake nĩ mũira.”
And we are his witnesses of these things, and also the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.
33 Rĩrĩa maiguire ũguo makĩrakara mũno makĩenda kũmooraga.
And when they heard this, they were as being split with a saw, and wanted to annihilate them.
34 No rĩrĩ, Mũfarisai wetagwo Gamalieli, mũrutani wa watho na watĩĩtwo nĩ andũ othe akĩrũgama Kĩama-inĩ, agĩathana atĩ andũ acio mambe moimio nja gwa kahinda kanini.
But after standing up in the council, a certain Pharisee named Gamaliel, a law teacher, esteemed by all the people, commanded to make the apostles be outside a little while.
35 Nake akĩĩra Kĩama atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya a Isiraeli, cũraniai wega ũrĩa mũratanya gwĩka andũ aya.
And he said to them, Men, Israelites, take heed to yourselves what ye are going to do against these men.
36 Ihinda rĩhĩtũku mũndũ wetagwo Theuda nĩeyumĩririe agĩĩtuuaga atĩ we nĩ mũndũ ma, na akĩgĩa na arũmĩrĩri ta magana mana. Nĩooragirwo, nao arũmĩrĩri aake othe makĩhurunjwo na ũhoro ũcio wothe ũgĩtuĩka wa tũhũ.
For before these days Theudas rose up saying himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, bonded themselves, who was killed. And all, as many as were persuaded by him, were dispersed and developed into nothing.
37 Thuutha wake, Judasi ũrĩa woimĩte Galili akĩĩyumĩria matukũ-inĩ ma kwĩyandĩkithia na agĩtongoria mbũtũ ya andũ nĩguo makararie watho. O nake akĩũragwo, na arũmĩrĩri aake othe makĩhurunjwo.
After this man Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of the registration, and drew a considerable crowd behind him. That man was also destroyed, and all, as many as were persuaded by him, were scattered.
38 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, igũrũ rĩkoniĩ ũhoro ũyũ ngũmũtaara atĩrĩ, tiganai na andũ aya! Marekeei mathiĩ! Nĩ ũndũ angĩkorwo muoroto kana ciĩko ciao ciumanĩte na ũmũndũ-rĩ, ũndũ ũcio nĩũgũthira.
And now I say to you, keep away from these men, and let them go, because if the project or this work is from men, it will be overthrown,
39 No angĩkorwo ũndũ ũyũ uumanĩte na Ngai, mũtingĩhota kũgirĩrĩria andũ aya; mũgwĩkora mũkĩhũũrana na Ngai.”
but if it is from God, ye cannot overthrow it, and perhaps ye may be found to be fighting against God.
40 Nao magĩĩtĩkania na mĩario yake. Nao magĩĩta atũmwo matoonye makĩmahũũrithia iboko. Magĩcooka makĩmaatha matikaarie thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jesũ, magĩcooka makĩmarekereria mathiĩ.
And they were persuaded by him. And after summoning the apostles, having beat them, they commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.
41 Nao atũmwo makiuma Kĩama-inĩ makenete tondũ wa ũrĩa maatuĩtwo aagĩrĩru a gũconorithio nĩ ũndũ wa Rĩĩtwa rĩu.
Indeed therefore they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to be treated shamefully for the name of Jesus.
42 Mũthenya o mũthenya, marĩ hekarũ-inĩ o na marĩ mĩciĩ-inĩ, matiigana gũtiga kũrutana na kũhunjia ũhoro ũcio mwega atĩ Jesũ nĩwe Kristũ.
And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they ceased not teaching and preaching good news, Jesus, the Christ.
