Oihana 5
1 O KEKAHI kanaka, o Anania ka inoa, me Sapeire kana wahine, kuai lilo aku la i ka aina.
There was, however, a man named Ananias, who, with his wife Sapphira, sold some property,
2 A hoana e iho la ia i kauwahi o ka uku, ua ike no hoi kana wahine, a lawe mai la i kekahi, a waiho iho la ma na wawae o ka poe lunaolelo.
and, with her connivance, kept back some of the proceeds. He brought only a part and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
3 I aku la o Petero, E Anania, no ke aha la i hoopiha mai ai o Satana i kou naau e wahahee aku i ka Uhane Hemolele, a e hoana e i kekahi mea i loaa mai ai no ka aina?
“Ananias,” Peter exclaimed, “how is it that Satan has so taken possession of your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit, and kept back a part of the money paid for the land?
4 I ka wa e waiho wale ana, aole anei nou ponoi ia? a pau i ke kuaiia, aole anei ia oe ka malama? No ke aha la i komo ai keia mea maloko o kou naau? Aole oe i wahahee aku i kanaka, i ke Akua no.
While it was unsold, was not it your own? And after it was sold, was not the money at your own disposal? How did you come to think of such a thing? You have lied, not to people, but to God!”
5 A lohe iho la o Anania i keia olelo, hina iho la ia ilalo, a lele ae la ke aho. Kau iho la ka makau nui maluna iho o ka poe a pau i lohe i keia mau mea.
As Ananias heard these words, he fell down and expired; and everyone who heard of it was appalled.
6 Ku ae la na kanaka ui, wahi iho la ia ia, lawe aku la iwaho, a kanu iho la.
The young men got up, and, winding the body in a sheet, carried it out and buried it.
7 A mahope iho ekolu paha hora, komo mai la kana wahine, me ka ike ole i ka mea i hanaia'i.
After an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
8 I aku la o Petero ia ia, E hai mai oe ia'u, ua kuai anei olua i ka aina pela? I mai la kela, Ae, pela no.
“Is it true,” Peter asked, addressing her, “that you sold your land for such a sum?” “Yes,” she answered, “we did.”
9 Alaila, i aku la o Petero ia ia, Pehea la i hui pu ai ko olua manao, e hoao aku i ka Uhane o ka Haku? aia hoi ma ka ipuka na wawae o ka poe nana i kanu kau kane; e lawe aku no hoi lakou ia oe iho.
Then Peter said, “How did you come to agree to provoke the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The footsteps of those who have buried your husband are at the door; and they will carry you out too.”
10 Alaila, hina iho la ia ma kona mau wawae, a lele aku la ke aho; a komo mai la ua poe ui la, a loaa iho la ia ua make, a lawe aku la lakou ia ia, a kanu aku la ma kahi o kana kane.
Instantly Sapphira fell down at Peter’s feet and expired. On coming in, the young men found her dead; so they carried her out and buried her by her husband’s side.
11 A kau mai ka makau nui maluna o ka ekalesia a pau, a me ka poe a pau i lohe i keia mau mea.
The whole church and all who heard of these events were appalled.
12 Ua hanaia no hoi mawaena o kanaka, na hoailona a me na mea kupanaha he nui loa, e na lima o ka poe lunaolelo. (Lokahi ae la lakou a pau ma ka lanai o Solomona.
Many signs and wonders continued to occur among the people, through the instrumentality of the apostles, whose custom it was to meet all together in the Colonnade of Solomon;
13 Auhe mea o ka poe i koe i makau ole ke hui pu mai me lakou; aka, mahalo aku la kanaka ia lakou.
but of the rest no one ventured to join them. On the other hand, the people were full of their praise,
14 Hui pu nui ia'e la i ka Haku ka poe i manaoio, na kane a me na wahine he nui loa.)
and still larger numbers, both of men and women, as they became believers in the Lord, were added to their number.
15 No ia mea, lawe mai la lakou i ka poe mai ma na alanui, a waiho iho la ia lakou maluna o na moe hilinai a me na wahi moe, i malu ae paha ke aka o Petero maluna o kekahi o lakou, i kona hele ana ae.
The consequence was that people would bring out their sick even into the streets, and lay them on mattresses and mats, in the hope that, as Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on someone of them.
16 He nui ka poe i hele mai i Ierusalema, no ka kulanakauhale a puni, e lawe ana i ka poe mai, a me ka poe i loohia i na uhane ino; a hoolaia lakou a pau.
Besides this, the inhabitants of the towns around Jerusalem flocked into the city, bringing with them their sick and those who were troubled by foul spirits; and they were cured everyone.
17 Alaila ku ae iluna ke kahuna nui, a me ka poe a pau me ia, (he poe Sadukaio lakou, ) ua piha loa lakou i ka ukiuki;
At this the high priest was roused to action, and he and all his supporters (who formed the party of the Sadducees), moved by jealousy,
18 Hopu aku la ko lakou lima i ka poe lunaolelo, a hahao iho la ia lakou maloko o ka halepaahao.
arrested the apostles, and had them placed in custody.
19 Wehe mai la ka anela o ka Haku i na puka o ka halepaahao i ka po, a lawe mai la ia lakou mawaho, i mai la,
An angel of the Lord, however, opened the prison doors at night and led them out.
20 E hele oukou, a e ku maloko o ka luakini, e olelo aku i kanaka i na huaolelo a pau o keia ola.
“Go,” he said, “and stand in the Temple Courts, and tell the people the whole message of this new life.”
21 A lohe lakou, komo ae la lakou iloko o ka luakini i ke kakahiaka nui, ao ae la lakou. A hiki mai la ke kahuna nui, a me ka poe me ia, hoakoakoa mai la lakou i ka ahalunakanawai, a me na lunakahiko a pau o ka Iseraela, a hoouna aku la ma ka halepaahao i laweia mai lakou.
When they heard this, they went at daybreak into the Temple Courts, and began to teach. The high priest and his party, on their arrival, summoned the High Council, including all the leaders of the people among the Israelites, and sent to the jail to fetch the apostles.
22 A hiki ae la na ilamuku, aole loaa ia lakou maloko o ka halepaahao, hoi mai lakou, i mai la,
But, when the officers got there, they did not find them in the prison; so they returned and reported that,
23 Loaa ia makou ka halepaahao ua paa, ua malu loa hoi, e ku ana no ka poe kiai ma na puka; a wehe makou, aohe kanaka oloko i loaa ia makou.
while they had found the goal barred securely and the guards posted at the doors, yet, on opening them, they had not found anyone inside.
24 A lohe iho la ke kahuna nui, a me ka luna o ka luakini, a me na kahuna nui i keia olelo, kanalua iho la lakou, i ka hope o keia mea.
When the officer in charge at the Temple and the chief priests heard their story, they were perplexed about the apostles and as to what all this would lead to.
25 Alaila, hele mai kekahi, hai mai la ia lakou, i mai la, Aia hoi na kanaka a oukou i hahao ai iloko o ka halepaahao e ku ana maloko o ka luakini, e ao aku ana i kanaka.
Presently, however, someone came and told them, that the men whom they had put in prison were actually standing in the Temple Courts, teaching the people.
26 Alaila, kii aku la ka luna a me na ilamuku, a lawe malie mai la ia lakou; no ka makau o lakou i kanaka o hailukuia mai lakou.
Then, the officer went with his men and fetched the apostles – without using violence, for they were afraid of being stoned by the people –
27 A laweia mai lakou, hookuia iho la lakou imua i ka ahalunakanawai; a ninau aku la ke kahuna nui ia lakou,
and then brought them before the Council. The high priest demanded an explanation from them.
28 I aku la, Aole anei makou i papa aku ia oukou, mai ao aku ma keia inoa? Aia hoi, ua hoopiha oukou ia Ierusalema nei i ko oukou manao, a ke makemake nei oukou o hooili mai i ke koko o keia kanaka maluna o makou.
“We gave you strict orders,” he said, “not to teach in this name. Yet you have actually flooded Jerusalem with your teaching, and you want to make us responsible for the death of this man.”
29 Alaila, olelo mai o Petero, a me na lunaolelo, i mai la, E pono no ia makou ke malama i ka ke Akua, aole i ka ke kanaka.
To this Peter and the apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than people.
30 O ke Akua o ko kakou poe kupuna, ua hoala hou mai oia ia Iesu, i ka mea a oukou i pepehi ai, a kau maluna o ka laau.
The God of our ancestors raised Jesus, whom you put to death by hanging him on a cross.
31 Oia ka ke Akua i hookiekie ae ma kona lima akau, i Alii, i Ola hoi, e haawi mai i ka Iseraela, i ka mihi, a me ke kala ana i ka hala.
It is this Jesus whom God has exalted to his right hand, to be a guide and a Savior, to give Israel repentance and forgiveness of sins.
32 O makou no kona poe hoike no keia mau mea; a me ka Uhane Hemolele hoi, o ka mea a ke Akua i haawi mai ai i ka poe malama ia ia.
And we are witness to the truth of this, and so is the Holy Spirit – the gift of God to those who obey him.”
33 A lohe ae la lakou ia mea, walania lakou, kukakuka iho la e pepehi ia lakou.
The members of the Council became frantic with rage on hearing this, and were for putting the apostles to death.
34 Alaila, ku ae la kekahi iluna maloko o ka ahalunakanawai, he Parisaio, o Gamaliela kona inoa, he kumu ao kanawai, ua mahaloia e na kanaka a pau loa, kauoha ae la ia e hookaa iki aku i na lunaolelo mawaho.
But Gamaliel, a Pharisee, who was a Doctor of the Law and who was held in universal respect, rose in the Council, and directed that the men should be taken out of court for a little while.
35 I aku la oia ia lakou, E na kanaka o ka Iseraela, e ao oukou ia oukou iho, i ka mea a oukou e manao ai e hana aku i keia mau kanaka.
He then said, “People of Israel, take care as to what you intend to do with these men.
36 No ka mea, i na la i hala aku nei, ku ae la o Teuda, kaena iho la ia ia iho no, a hoopili aku la kekahi poe kanaka io na la eha paha haneri; pepehiia iho la ia; a o ka poe a pau i malama i kana, ua hoopuehuia lakou, a lilo ae la i mea ole.
For not long ago Theudas appeared, professing to be somebody, and was joined by a body of some four hundred men. But he was killed; and all his followers scattered and dwindled away.
37 A mahope ona ku ae la o Iuda, no Galilaia, i ka manawa o ka helu auhau ana, a alakai aku la ia i kekahi poe nui mahope ona; make iho la no hoi ia; a o ka poe a pau i malama aku i kana, ua hooauheeia lakou.
After him, Judas the Galilean appeared at the time of the census, and induced people to follow him; yet he, too, perished and all his followers were dispersed.
38 Ano hoi, ke olelo aku nei no hoi au ia oukou, mai mea iki aku oukou i keia poe kanaka, e waiho okoa aku no; no ka mea, ina no kanaka keia manao, a me keia hana, e pau wale no ia.
And, in this present case, my advice to you is not to interfere with these men, but to leave them alone, for, if their designs and their work are merely of human origin, they will come to an end;
39 Aka, ina na ke Akua, aole hiki ia oukou ke hoolui, o loaa paha uanei oukou e paio ana i ke Akua.
but, if they are of divine origin, you will be powerless to put an end to them – or else you may find yourselves fighting against God!”
40 Ae mai la lakou ia ia; a kii aku la lakou i na lunaolelo, hahau iho la, a papa aku la ia lakou, mai olelo aku ma ka inoa o Iesu, alaila kuu aku la.
The Council followed his advice, and, calling the apostles in, had them flogged, and then, after cautioning them not to speak in the name of Jesus, set them free.
41 Hele aku la lakou, mai ke alo aku o ka ahalunakanawai mo ka olioli, no ka mea, ua manaoia he pono ke hoinoia mai lakou no kona inoa.
But the apostles left the Council, rejoicing that they had been thought worthy to suffer disgrace for that name;
42 A i kela la i keia la, aole lakou i hooki i ka lakou ao ana aku, a me ka hai aku ia Iesu Kristo, ma ka luakini, a ia hale aku ia hale aku.
and never for a single day, either in the Temple Courts or in private houses, did they cease to teach, or to tell the good news of Jesus, the Christ.
