Ọrụ Ndị Ozi 4
1 Mgbe ha nọ na-agwa ndị mmadụ ahụ okwu, ndị nchụaja na onyeisi ndị agha na-eche ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ na ndị Sadusii bịakwutere ha.
And as they are speaking to the people, there came to them the priests, and the magistrate of the temple, and the Sadducees—
2 Ha were oke iwe nʼihi na ha na-ezi ndị mmadụ ihe, na-ekwusakwa na nʼime Jisọs ka mbilite nʼọnwụ nke ndị nwụrụ anwụ dị.
being grieved because of their teaching the people, and preaching in Jesus the resurrection out of the dead—
3 Ha jidere ha tinye ha nʼụlọ mkpọrọ, ruo nʼechi ya. Nʼihi na oge e jidere ha bụ nʼoge uhuruchi.
and they laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was evening already;
4 Ma ọtụtụ ndị nụrụ okwu ahụ kwenyere. Ọnụọgụgụ ha ruru ihe dị ka puku mmadụ ise.
and many of those hearing the word believed, and the number of the men became, as it were, five thousand.
5 Nʼechi ya, ndị na-achị achị, na ndị okenye na ndị ozizi iwu zukọrọ na Jerusalem.
And it came to pass the next day, there were gathered together of them the rulers, and elders, and scribes, to Jerusalem,
6 Onyeisi nchụaja bụ Anas nọ nʼebe ahụ, na Kaịfas na Jọn na Alegzanda, na ndị ọzọ bụ ndị ikwu onyeisi nchụaja.
and Annas the chief priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the chief priest,
7 Mgbe ha kpọpụtara ha nʼetiti ha, ha jụrụ ha, “Ọ bụ site nʼike onye, na site nʼaha onye, ka unu ji mee ihe a?”
and having set them in the midst, they were inquiring, “In what power, or in what name did you do this?”
8 Nʼoge ahụ, Pita jupụtara na Mmụọ Nsọ. Ọ gwara ha, “Unu ndị na-achị ala anyị, na ndị okenye.
Then Peter, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
9 Ọ bụrụ na unu kpọpụtara anyị ịchọpụta otu nwoke ngwụrọ a si bụrụ onye ahụ dị mma maọbụ otu e si gwọọ ya,
if we are examined today concerning the good deed to the ailing man, by whom he has been saved,
10 ya mere maranụ nke a, unu na ndị Izrel niile, a gwọrọ nwoke a guzo nʼetiti unu site nʼaha Jisọs Kraịst onye Nazaret, onye unu kpọgidere nʼobe, ma Chineke kpọlitere ya site nʼọnwụ.
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 Jisọs a bụ “‘nkume ahụ unu ndị na-ewu ụlọ jụrụ, nke ghọrọ nkume isi ntọala ụlọ.’
This is the stone that was set at nothing by you—the builders, that became head of a corner;
12 Nzọpụta adịghị nʼime onye ọbụla ọzọ, nʼihi na o nweghị aha ọzọ e nyere nʼetiti mmadụ nʼokpuru eluigwe nke e nwere ike isite na ya zọpụta anyị.”
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 Mgbe ha hụrụ nkwuwa okwu Pita na Jọn, na-atụghị ụjọ, ma chọpụtakwa na ha bụ ndị mmadụ nkịtị, na ndị a na-azụghị nʼụlọ akwụkwọ, o juru ha anya. Ma ha ghọtara na ha bụ ndị ha na Jisọs nọkọrọ.
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 Ma mgbe ha hụrụ nwoke ahụ a gwọrọ, ka o guzo nʼakụkụ ha, ha enweghị okwu ọbụla ha nwere ikwu megide nke a.
and seeing the man standing with them who has been healed, they had nothing to say against [it],
15 Ha nyere iwu ka ha si nʼụlọikpe ahụ pụọ, ma bido ịgba izu nʼetiti onwe ha banyere nke a.
and having commanded them to go away out of the Sanhedrin, they took counsel with one another,
16 Ha na-asị, “Gịnị ka anyị ga-eme ndị a? Anyị apụghị ịgọ agọ na ha rụrụ ọrụ ịrịbama pụrụ iche. Ndị niile bi na Jerusalem maara ihe banyere nke a.
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 Ma iji mee ka akụkọ ọrụ ebube a hapụ ịgbasa ruo ọtụtụ mmadụ ntị, ka anyị dọọ ha aka na ntị ka ha ghara ịgwa onye ọbụla okwu banyere aha nwoke a.”
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 Ha kpọrọ ha nye ha iwu ka ha kwụsị ikwu okwu maọbụ izi ihe nʼaha Jisọs.
And having called them, they charged them not to speak at all, nor to teach, in the Name of Jesus,
19 Ma Pita na Jọn zara sị ha, “Kpeenụ ikpe a nʼonwe unu, maọbụ ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Chineke ige unu ntị karịa ige Chineke ntị?
and Peter and John answering to them said, “Whether it is righteous before God to listen to you rather than to God, judge;
20 Nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe rara ahụ na anyị ga-akwụsị ikwu okwu banyere ihe ahụ anyị hụrụ na nke anyị nụrụ.”
for we cannot but speak what we saw and heard.”
21 Mgbe ha batụchara ha mba, ha hapụrụ ha ka ha laa. O nweghị ụzọ ọbụla ha ga-esi taa ha ahụhụ nʼihi na mmadụ niile nọ na-eto Chineke nʼihi ihe a mere.
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 Nʼihi na nwoke a gwọrọ nʼụzọ dị ebube agafeela iri afọ anọ.
for above forty years of age was the man on whom had been done this sign of the healing.
23 Mgbe ha hapụrụ ha, ha lara kọọrọ ndị ibe ha ihe ndịisi nchụaja na ndị okenye gwara ha.
And being let go, they went to their own friends, and declared whatever the chief priests and the elders said to them,
24 Mgbe ha nụrụ nke a, ha niile ji otu obi welie olu ha kpọkuo Chineke, sị, “Gị, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị, gị onwe gị kere eluigwe na ụwa, na oke osimiri, na ihe niile dị nʼime ha.
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 Ọ bụ gị sitere nʼaka Mmụọ Nsọ site nʼọnụ nna anyị Devid, onye na-ejere gị ozi, sị: “‘Gịnị mere mba niile ji eme oke mkpọtụ? Gịnị mere ndị mmadụ ji na-apịa ọpịpịa nke na-abaghị uru?
who, through the mouth of Your servant David, said, Why did nations rage, and peoples meditate vain things?
26 Ndị eze nke ụwa na-eguzokwa onwe ha, ndị na-achị achị na-agbakọtakwa, imegide Onyenwe anyị na imegide Onye ya e tere mmanụ.’
The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the LORD and against His Christ;
27 Nʼezie nʼobodo a, Herọd na Pọntiọs Pailet, na ndị mba ọzọ, nakwa ndị Izrel ezukọtala imegide onye nsọ ahụ na-ejere gị ozi, bụ Jisọs, onye i tere mmanụ,
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 ha mere ihe i jiri ike gị na uche gị kwuo na ha aghaghị imezu.
to do whatever Your hand and Your counsel determined before to come to pass.
29 Ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị, lee ịba mba ha ma nye ndị ohu gị ike iji gbasaa ozi gị na-atụghị egwu ọbụla.
And now, LORD, look on their threatenings, and grant to Your servants to speak Your word with all freedom,
30 Setịpụ aka gị gwọọ ndị ọrịa ma rụọ ọtụtụ ọrụ ebube na ọrụ ịrịbama site nʼaha onye nsọ ahụ na-ejere gị ozi bụ Jisọs.”
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 Mgbe ha kpesịrị ekpere, ụlọ ahụ ha zukọrọ nʼime ya mara jijiji. Ha jupụtara na Mmụọ Nsọ, ma jiri nkwuwa okwu kwusaakwa okwu Chineke.
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 Ndị niile kwere ekwe nwere otu obi nʼotu mkpụrụobi. O nweghị onye ọbụla gụrụ ihe ọbụla o nwere dịka nke aka ya, kama ha mere ka onye ọbụla nʼime ha keta oke nʼihe ibe ya nwere.
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 Ndị ozi sitere nʼike gaa nʼihu na-agba ama banyere mbilite nʼọnwụ Onyenwe anyị Jisọs, oke amara bakwaara ha niile ụba.
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 O nweghị onye mkpa kpara nʼime ha, nʼihi na site nʼoge ruo nʼoge, ndị nwere ala maọbụ ụlọ na-ere ha, ma wetakwa ego ha retara na ha,
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 nye ndị ozi, a na-ekekwa ya nye onye ọbụla dị ka mkpa ya si dị.
and were laying them at the feet of the apostles, and distribution was being made to each according as anyone had need.
36 Josef onye ikwu Livayị, onye sitere na Saiprọs, onye ndị ozi na-akpọ Banabas (nke pụtara “nwa nke nkasiobi”).
And Joses, who was surnamed by the apostles Barnabas—which is, having been interpreted, Son of Comfort—a Levite, of Cyprus by birth,
37 O rere ala o nwere, weta ego ya, ma tọgbọ ya nʼụkwụ ndị ozi.
a field being his, having sold [it], brought the money and laid [it] at the feet of the apostles.
