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 spake unto the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,
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 sore troubled because they taught the people, and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from 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 ward unto the morrow: for it was now eventide.
4 Ma ọtụtụ ndị nụrụ okwu ahụ kwenyere. Ọnụọgụgụ ha ruru ihe dị ka puku mmadụ ise.
But many of them that heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.
5 Nʼechi ya, ndị na-achị achị, na ndị okenye na ndị ozizi iwu zukọrọ na Jerusalem.
And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together in 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 high priest [was there], and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high 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 when they had set them in the midst, they inquired, By what power, or in what name, have ye done this?
8 Nʼoge ahụ, Pita jupụtara na Mmụọ Nsọ. Ọ gwara ha, “Unu ndị na-achị ala anyị, na ndị okenye.
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders,
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 this day are examined concerning a good deed done to an impotent man, by what means this man is made whole;
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 unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, [even] in him doth this man stand here before you whole.
11 Jisọs a bụ “‘nkume ahụ unu ndị na-ewu ụlọ jụrụ, nke ghọrọ nkume isi ntọala ụlọ.’
He is the stone which was set at nought of you the builders, which was made the head of the 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 in none other is there salvation: for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must 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.
Now when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took 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 which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
15 Ha nyere iwu ka ha si nʼụlọikpe ahụ pụọ, ma bido ịgba izu nʼetiti onwe ha banyere nke a.
But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
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 shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been wrought through them, is manifest to all that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot 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 spread no further among the people, let us threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.
18 Ha kpọrọ ha nye ha iwu ka ha kwụsị ikwu okwu maọbụ izi ihe nʼaha Jisọs.
And they called them, and charged them not to speak at all nor 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?
But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you rather than unto God, judge ye:
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 the things which 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, when they had further threatened them, let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people; for all men glorified God for that which was done.
22 Nʼihi na nwoke a gwọrọ nʼụzọ dị ebube agafeela iri afọ anọ.
For the man was more than forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was wrought.
23 Mgbe ha hapụrụ ha, ha lara kọọrọ ndị ibe ha ihe ndịisi nchụaja na ndị okenye gwara ha.
And being let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said unto 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, when they heard it, lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, O Lord, thou that didst make the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that in them is:
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 by the Holy Ghost, [by] the mouth of our father David thy servant, didst say, Why did the Gentiles rage, And the peoples imagine 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 set themselves in array, And the rulers were gathered together, Against the Lord, and against his Anointed:
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 of a truth in this city against thy holy Servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, were gathered together,
28 ha mere ihe i jiri ike gị na uche gị kwuo na ha aghaghị imezu.
to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel foreordained 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 upon their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants to speak thy word with all boldness,
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.”
while thou stretchest forth thy hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of thy holy Servant 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 when they had prayed, the place was shaken wherein they were gathered together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
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 the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and soul: and not one [of them] said that aught of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
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 gave the apostles their witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon 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 neither was there among them any that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
35 nye ndị ozi, a na-ekekwa ya nye onye ọbụla dị ka mkpa ya si dị.
and laid them at the apostles’ feet: and distribution was made unto each, according as any one had need.
36 Josef onye ikwu Livayị, onye sitere na Saiprọs, onye ndị ozi na-akpọ Banabas (nke pụtara “nwa nke nkasiobi”).
And Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of exhortation), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,
37 O rere ala o nwere, weta ego ya, ma tọgbọ ya nʼụkwụ ndị ozi.
having a field, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
