Katuma 5
1 Uru nu una niza Hananiya nan unee umeme Safiratu, wa zizi uru uweme.
There was, however, a man named Ananias, who, with his wife Sapphira, sold some property,
2 Hananiya ma hunze ire ikirfi anyimo ikirfi urume, (unu rusa unee me), wanno wa eh unu ikirfi me ahira anu rusa me.
and, with her connivance, kept back some of the proceeds. He brought only a part and laid it at the Apostles’ feet.
3 Bitrus manno magu, ''Hananiya nini ya wuna wa ceki bibe bibur ba myinca iruba iweme, hube wa wuza bibe biriri moco? hu wa hunze ire ikirfi urume?
“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 Uganiya sa da wamuziza urume ba, azo uwe uni wazi ba? uganiya sa wa zizi uni, azo uwe uni ba? nyanini ya wuna wa wuza ugino basa me iruba iweme? in anime azo anabu wa wuza moco ba, Asere ani wa wuza me.
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 men, but to God!”
5 Ahira me sa ma kunna anime, Hananiya ma hunguko ivai imeme imaza. Vat anabu sa wa kunna tize tigino me biyau bi dandang bameki we.
As Ananias heard these words, he fell down and expired; and every one who heard of it was appalled.
6 Inyani ya eh igemdirko ikizi imeme wa suri ni amatara waka vatime.
The young men got up, and, winding the body in a sheet, carried it out and buried it.
7 Uganiya ka taru wa aki, unee manno ma eh, unu tame imum be sa izi ba.
After an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
8 Bitrus manno magu, ''buka ihono ini ya zizi uru me?'' ma kabirka magu, ''ana ani tazizi.''
“Is it true,” Peter asked, addressing her, “that you sold your land for such a sum?” “Yes,” she answered, “we did.”
9 Bitrus mauku gun me, '' nyani ni ya wuna ya bara magino moco me nan uruma uweme bati imansa bibe ba Asere? kunna tanu ta desa wa ka vati uruma uwe me ana tukum, we wani wadi ziki we ana me.''
Then Peter said: “How did you come to agree to provoke the Spirit of the Lord? Listen! The foot-steps of those who have buried your husband are at the door; and they will carry you out too.”
10 Ahira ma rizi aje ameme, ma hunguko ivai imara, inyani ya eh ikem me ma wono; wa ziki ikizi me wa ka vati upuru uruma me.
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 Biyau bi dandag ba meki anu tarsa Asere me vat uwe nan andesa wa kunna imumu igino me.
The whole Church and all who heard of these events were appalled.
12 Imum biyau nan nu basa kan wa meki anabu, atari ta dura me. Vat uwe wa ra nigime ukpanku u sulaimanu.
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 Azo me uye uni iriba ihuu ma pati nice nigome nan we; Barki anime ukaba kang aje anabu.
but of the rest no one ventured to join them. On the other hand, the people were full of their praise,
14 Uhana ana me akenzi ukinkin anu nyaza iriba, gbardang ahana ruma nan na eh.
and still larger numbers, both of men and women, as they became believers in the Lord, were added to their number.
15 Wadi ziki ana ti koni han we unaa, wadi nasa we asesere ati komi nan ti penge, barki inka Bitrus ma aye u aka nani mazu ma me madarsi aye aweme.
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 some one of them.
16 Anu gbardang wa eze usuro ati pinpin sa ta keti urushalima, wa ezi nan nati koni, nan andesa agwergene wa meki we, anno ahumu zan we vat.
Besides this, the inhabitants of the towns round Jerusalem flocked into the city, bringing with them their sick and those who were troubled by foul spirits; and they were cured every one.
17 Barki anime una katuma ka Asere udandang ma hiri nan vat andesa wa zin nan me (Anu tarsa asadukiyawa); wa myinci in ni ero kan.
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 Wanno wa meki ana kadura me wa reki we anyimo udenge uni rere.
arrested the Apostles, and had them placed in custody.
19 Anyimo ani yee me bibe bi kadura ka Asere ba poki tina tukum tu denge uni rere me ma suzo we a matara, magu.
An angel of the Lord, however, opened the prison doors at night and led them out.
20 ''Hana ni ika tunno anaje udenge Asere ibuki anabu tize tigeme ti vai.''
“Go,” he said, “and stand in the Temple Courts, and tell the people the whole Message of this new Life.”
21 Sa wa kunna anime, wanno wa dusa udenge Asere unu sana ahira wa bezi tize me. Barki ani me una katuma ka Asere udang nan nanu ameme wa eh wa titi ni ori nan aroni akatuma, nan na nanu anu isra'ilawa wa suri wa meku nyaza uni kar, asuso we ana katuma kadandag.
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 leading men among the Israelites, and sent to the jail to fetch the Apostles.
22 Sa ana katuma wa hana uenge uni rer me da wa kem uye, udenge uni rer ba, wanno wa ze wa eh wa buki.
But, when the officers got there, they did not find them in the prison; so they returned and reported that,
23 Wa gu udenge uni rere me u impi gangang anu hira wa rani wa turi ana tukum sa ta ribi, da ta kem uye anyimo ba.
while they had found the goal barred securely and the guards posted at the doors, yet, on opening them, they had not found any one inside.
24 Ana me sa unudang udenge Asere nan nanu ana katuma ka Asere sawa kunna agino aguran me, wanno wa tunno ukira kan abanga aweme, ana me nyanini agino me adi yoo.
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 Uye manno ma eh ma gun we, ''anu agino me sa ya reki we anyimo udenge uni rere me wa ra abirko anyimo udenge Asere wazi nu bezizi anabu tize.''
Presently, however, some one came and told them, that the men whom they had put in prison were actually standing in the Temple Courts, teaching the people.
26 Udang udenge Asere ma ha nan ahana akatuma kameme wa ka ayen we, azo unu hiza iruba ba, barki asuma kati anu wa vingi we.
On this, the Officer went with his men and fetched the Apostles — without using violence, for they were afraid of being stoned by the people —
27 Sa wa ayen we, beizi aje anabu, una katuma ka Asere udang ma igizo we.
And then brought them before the Council. The High Priest demanded an explanation from them.
28 Unu guna, ''da ta karti shi kara kati ibezizi tize anyimo aniza nigino ba? barki anime shibe ya myinca urshalima unu bezizi utize tishi me, izinu nyara guna maye mu nu gino me tuu ace aru.''
“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 Barki anime Bitrus nan ana katuma kameme wa kabirka wa gu, ''gwas ini ti tarsi asere azo anubu ba.
To this Peter and the Apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than men.
30 Asere aka co uru ma hirza Yeso, desa ya huu me, ahira ugankira ume asesere utiti.
The God of our ancestors raised Jesus, whom you put to death by hanging him on a cross.
31 Asere manno ma heze me atri tina re tumeme, barki ma cukuno ugomo nan unu bura, ma nya isra'ila ubarka nan uvete umadini.
It is this Jesus whom God has exalted to his right hand, to be a Guide and a Saviour, to give Israel repentance and forgiveness of sins.
32 Haru anu tunno amaru wani imumu igino me, ane bibeu ba Asere, bi gesa Asere anya ahira avat andesa wa tarsa in me.
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 Sa anu tarsa umeme wa kunna anime wanno wa kunna iriba kang, wanno wa nyari uhuza adura me.
The members of the Council became frantic with rage on hearing this, and were for putting the Apostles to death.
34 Barki anime ure ufarisawa una niza ni gamaliel, unu bezi urusa desa anu wa nonzo me, manno ma tonno ma wu anu wa suso unu rusa me a matara cing
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 Manno magun we, 'shi anu isra'ila, rusa ni kan ini mumbe sa iwuzi ana gino me.
He then said: “Men of Israel, take care as to what you intend to do with these men.
36 Atiye tu aka uye ma eh una niza Tundas mazika nice nume ire imum, ugbardang anu akura anazi wani wa tarsi me, sa ahuna me anu ameme vat wa samirka, azo desa ma kunna ahira sa wa rani.
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 Maru ameme, awuzi uye una niza Yahuza ugalili desa atiye tu basa, ma eh ma rangi anabu gbardang me ma corno me, vat andesa wa tarsi me wa samirka.
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 Barki anime inboo shi nyettike ni nan nanu agino me, barki anika ubara uwe me nanu wuza uwe wa nabu uni idi corno me.
And, in this present case, my advice to you is not to interfere with these men, but to let them alone, for, if their designs and their work are merely of human origin, they will come to an end;
39 Barki anime inka imumu igino ahira Asere ani ida icari ini ni ba, kati icukuno arangi we.
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 Sa wa tita anu rusa anyimo wa tiri we, waduku gun we kati ikuri uwuzi ubezi utize anyimo aniza ni Yeso ba, wanno wa ceki wa dusa.
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 Wanno wa suri anyimo anu tarsa me, uni iriba irum barki bari ayomu we barki niza nigino me.
But the Apostles left the Council, rejoicing that they had been thought worthy to suffer disgrace for that Name;
42 Ban anime kode uya uwui wa haza udenge Asere, wa tarsa ti kura, wazi nu bezizi, wa kuru wa dusa sarki ude unu guna Yeso memani vana Asere.
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.
