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 a possession,
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 part of the price, and his wife was conscious of it; and he brought a certain part of it, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
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 has Satan filled your heart, that you should attempt to deceive the Holy Spirit, and keep back part of 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 unsold, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your own disposal? Why have you purposed this thing in your heart? You 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 when Ananias heard these words, he fell down, and expired. And great fear came on all that heard these things.
6 Nao aanake magĩũka, makĩoha mwĩrĩ wake na cuka, makĩuumia nja na makĩũthika.
And the young men arose and wound him in his mantle, and carried him out, and buried him.
7 Thuutha wa ta mathaa matatũ-rĩ, mũtumia wake agĩtoonya atekũmenya ũrĩa gwekĩkĩte.
And after an interval of about three hours, his wife, not knowing what had been done, came in.
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 answered her: Tell me, did you sell the land for so much? She replied: 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: Why is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they shall carry you out.
10 O kahinda kau akĩgũa thĩ magũrũ-inĩ make, agĩkua. Nao aanake magĩtoonya, makĩmũkora akuĩte, makĩmuoya, magĩthiĩ, makĩmũthika hakuhĩ na mũthuuriwe.
And she immediately fell down at his feet, and expired. And the young men came in and found her dead; and they carried her out, and buried her by the side of her husband.
11 Naguo kanitha wothe, hamwe na andũ arĩa othe maiguire maũndũ macio makĩnyiitwo nĩ guoya mũnene.
And great fear came on all the church, and on all that 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 many signs and wonders were done among the people by the hands of the apostles; (and they were all with one consent in Solomon’s porch.
13 Gũtirĩ mũndũ wacookire kũgeria gwĩturanĩra nao, o na gũtuĩka andũ nĩmamaheete gĩtĩĩo mũno.
And no one of the rest durst join himself to 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 believers in the Lord were more and more added to them, 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 that they brought the sick out along the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that even the shadow of Peter, as he passed along, might fall on 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 many people of the cities round about came to Jerusalem, bringing the sick, and those who were troubled by evil spirits, all of whom were cured.
17 Na rĩrĩ, mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene na andũ arĩa othe maakoragwo nake, arĩa maarĩ a thiritũ ya Asadukai, makĩiyũrwo nĩ ũiru.
But the chief priest arose, and all that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees, ) and were filled with indignation;
18 Makĩnyiita atũmwo, makĩmaikia njeera ĩrĩa ya mũingĩ.
and they laid 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 angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison by night, and brought them out, and said:
20 Akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩi mũrũgame hekarũ-inĩ, mwĩre andũ ũhoro wothe wa muoyo ũyũ mwerũ.”
Go, stand in the temple, and speak to the people all the words 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 this, they entered the temple, early in the morning, and taught. But the chief priest, and those who were with him, came and called together the Sanhedrim, and all the eldership of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
22 No rĩrĩa thigari ciakinyire njeera-rĩ, itiamakorire kuo. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, magĩcookia ũhoro makĩmeera atĩrĩ,
But when the attendants came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and 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 closed with all safety, and the guards standing before the doors; but when we had opened, we found no one within.
24 Rĩrĩa mũnene wa arangĩri a hekarũ na athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa anene maiguire ũhoro ũcio makĩmaka na makĩrigwo nĩ ũrĩa gũgũikara.
When the priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt about them, what this could mean.
25 Hĩndĩ ĩyo hagĩũka mũndũ, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ta rorai! Andũ arĩa mũraikirie njeera marũgamĩte hekarũ-inĩ makĩruta andũ.”
And some one came and reported to them: Behold, the men whom you put in 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 went the captain with the attendants, and brought them without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.
27 Maarĩkia kũrehe atũmwo-rĩ, makĩmarũgamia mbere ya Kĩama nĩguo morio ciũria nĩ mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũrĩa mũnene.
And when they had brought them, they made them stand before the Sanhedrim; and the chief priest asked 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 strictly charge you not to teach in this name? And behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.
29 Petero na atũmwo acio angĩ magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ no nginya twathĩkĩre Ngai gũkĩra gwathĩkĩra andũ!
But Peter and the apostles answered and 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 has raised up Jesus, whom you slew by hanging him on a tree.
31 Ngai nĩamũtũgĩririe akĩmũiga guoko-inĩ gwake kwa ũrĩo arĩ Mũthamaki na Mũhonokia nĩguo Isiraeli merire na marekerwo mehia.
Him has God exalted to his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, in order to give to Israel repentance 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 witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit also, whom God has given to them that obey him.
33 Rĩrĩa maiguire ũguo makĩrakara mũno makĩenda kũmooraga.
And when they heard this, they were enraged; and they determined to put them to death.
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.
Then arose a certain man in the Sanhedrim, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honored by all the people; and he commanded them to put the apostles out for a little while,
35 Nake akĩĩra Kĩama atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya a Isiraeli, cũraniai wega ũrĩa mũratanya gwĩka andũ aya.
and said to them: Men of Israel, consider well with yourselves what you are about to do to 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 arose, declaring himself to be some great one; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves; and he was slain; and all, as many as believed him, were scattered and brought to naught.
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 arose, in the days of the enrollment, and drew over many people after him; and he was destroyed, and all, as many as believed 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 alone; for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to an end;
39 No angĩkorwo ũndũ ũyũ uumanĩte na Ngai, mũtingĩhota kũgirĩrĩria andũ aya; mũgwĩkora mũkĩhũũrana na Ngai.”
but if it is of God, you can not bring it to an end: and take heed, lest you be found fighting also 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 when they had called the apostles in and scourged them, they commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
41 Nao atũmwo makiuma Kĩama-inĩ makenete tondũ wa ũrĩa maatuĩtwo aagĩrĩru a gũconorithio nĩ ũndũ wa Rĩĩtwa rĩu.
Then, they went from the presence of the Sanhedrim, rejoicing that they were thought worthy to suffer shame for his name’s sake.
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 daily in the temple, and from house to house, they ceased not to teach and to preach Jesus the Christ.
