Aposolo 4

1 Pita'ene Jonikema ana vahe zaganema keaga nehake'za, pristi vahe'ene ra mono nonte kva nehaza kva vahe'mokizmi kva'neki, Sadusi vaheki hu'za znagrite e'naze.

[Meanwhile, in the temple courtyard, there were some] priests, the officer who was in charge of the temple police, and [also some] [SYN] Sadducee [sect members]. These men came to Peter and John while the two of them were speaking to the people.

2 Na'ankure keagama hapina, vahe'ma frisutma, Jisasi hanavefi etetma otigahaze hu'ne zamasmi'a kegu zamarimpagna hu'naze.

These men were very angry, because the [two] apostles were teaching the people [about Jesus]. What they were telling the people was that because ([God caused Jesus to become alive again/God raised] Jesus [from the dead]), [God] would cause other people who had died to become alive again.

3 Ana hute'za znazeri'za kina nompi ome zanantage'ne mase'na'e. Na'ankure hago kinaga se'negeno'e.

So those officials seized Peter and John. Then they put them in jail. [They had to wait] until the next day [to question Peter and John], because it was already evening [and it was contrary to their Jewish law to question people at night].

4 Hianagi mika kema antahi'naza vahe krerafamo'za zamentinti hu'nazana, vene'nema hampri'nazana 5 tauseni'a nazampi mareri'ne.

However, many people who had heard the message [from Peter] believed [in Jesus]. (OR, But many people had [already] believed [in Jesus, because] they had heard the message [from Peter].) So the number of men [who believed in Jesus] increased to about five 5,000.

5 Masakeno ko'atigeno, kasegere ugagota hu'naza vahe'ene mono nonte kva vahe'ene Jerusalemi etru hu'naze.

The next day [the supreme priest summoned] the [other] chief priests, the teachers of the [Jewish] laws, and the other members [of the Jewish Council, and they] gathered together [in one place] in Jerusalem.

6 Ugagota hu'nea pristi ne' Ananaisi'a anampina mani'ne. Hagi Kaiafasi'ma Joni'ma Aleksendaki, ugagota hu'nea pristi ne'mofo nagapinti ruga'a mani'naze.

Annas, [the former] supreme priest, Caiaphas [who was the new supreme priest], [two other former supreme priests whose names were] John and Alexander, and other men who were related to the supreme priest [were there].

7 Amu'no zamifima Pitane Joni kizni zanzeri otite'za, agafa hu'za znantahige'naze, Inankna hankavereti ene iza agifi amanahu'zana hu'na'e?

They [commanded guards to] bring Peter and John into the courtroom [MTY] and have them stand in front of them. [Then one of] the leaders questioned [the two of] them, saying, “Who [do you two claim] gave you the power [to heal this man]? And who authorized [MTY] you to do this [DOU]?”

8 Pitana Ruotge Avamu'mo avite'nea ne'mo, zamagri kenona anage hu'ne, Tra kere ugagota hu'naza vahe'ene ranra kva vahere,

So as the Holy Spirit completely controlled Peter, he said to them, “You [fellow Israelites] who rule us and [all of you other] elders, [listen]!

9 menima knare tavutva'ma kri ne'ma hunte'no'a zantema, tagri'ma refko hutma tagesnazana, na'amo higeno ama nera kri'amo'a atrente'ne nehazana,

Today you are questioning us concerning our doing something good for a man who was crippled, and you asked us how he was healed.

10 tamagrane Israeli vahe'enena antahi ankereho. E'i Nazareti Jisas Kraisima tamagrama aheta hantizageno, Anumzamo'ma azeri oti'neama, e'ina ne'mofo agire, amama tamugama oti'nea nera kri'amo'a knare huntegeno oti'ne.

So [we(exc) want] you and all [of our other] fellow Israelites to know this: It is because Jesus the Messiah [MTY] from Nazareth healed this man that he is able to stand here. [God considers that] it was you who nailed Jesus to a cross, but God caused him to become alive again.

11 Ama ana Jisasina, Tamagra nogi vahe'motma tamavesra hutma retufe atre'naza haveagi, e'i ana havemo'a no renagentete noma azeri hanaveti have fore hu'ne. (Sam-Zga 118:22)

[In the Psalms this was written about the Messiah: ] He is [like] [MET] the stone that was rejected by the builders {that the builders rejected}. But that stone became the most important stone in the building [that they were building]. [Jesus is that stone, and] you [are those builders who threw away the stone that was the most important one].

12 Mago vahe'mo'e huno taza huga osu'ne, na'ankure ama mopafi vahe'motafina, tahokehesia agi'a ontami'neanki, magoke ne' Jisas Kraisi agifi, Anumzamo'a tahokehegahie.

So he alone can save us [MTY]. [God] has sent only one person [MTY] into the world who can save us [from the guilt of our sins, and that person is Jesus]!”

13 Anante'ma ana vahe'mo'za znagazana, Pitake Jonikea, kema ha'ana korera osake'za, zanagrira antahi ama hu'za, avonona osuke, nontega ne'tremoke Jisasi'enena mani'na'e hu'za antahi ama nehu'za tusi antri nehu'za, nankna'za fore nehie hu'naze.

The [Jewish leaders] realized that Peter and John (were not afraid [of them]/spoke boldly). They also learned that the two men were ordinary people who had not studied in schools. So the leaders were amazed, and they realized that these men had associated with Jesus.

14 Ana higeno azeri so'e hunte'nea ne', znagranema oti'nege'za nege'za, anazanku kema huznantekea omane'ne.

They also saw the man who had been healed standing there with [the two of] them, so they were not able to say anything [to oppose Peter and John].

15 Hianagi kva vahe'mo'za huznantageke ana atru zamifintima atirami'ne fegia vake'ne, zamagrazmi ke hugantugma hu'za,

So the [Jewish leaders] commanded [guards] to take Peter, John, and the man outside of the room [where those leaders were meeting. After they did so], the leaders talked with each other [about Peter and John].

16 anage hu'naze, Ama netrena na'a huznantegahune? Na'ankure ama kri ne' azeri so'e'ma hu'nea kaguvazamo'a, mika Jerusalemi mani'naza vahe'pina amate hige'za hago ke'nazankita tagra onke'none huta hufra okigahune.

[Being frustrated, one after another], they said, “(There is really nothing that we can do to [punish] these [two] men!/How can we [(inc)] do anything to [punish] these [two] men?) [RHQ] Almost everyone [HYP] who is living in Jerusalem knows that they have done an amazing miracle, so we cannot tell people that it did not happen!

17 Hianagi ama kemo'ma mago'ane vahepima vuno'eno osanigura, kore ke znasamisunke'ne, mago'ane ama ana agirera mago'a vahera ozanasmisaze huta zanasamisune.

However, [we] must not allow other people to hear about [this miracle]. So we must tell these men that [we will punish them if they] continue to tell other people about this [MTY] man [who they say gave them the power to do it].”

18 Pitane, Joninena ke hazageke efrake'za zanasmi'za, Mago ene Jisasi agirera vahera zamasmige, rempi huzamige osutfa hi'o hu'naze.

So the Jewish leaders [commanded guards] to bring the two apostles [into that room again. After they did so], they [commanded] them both that they should never speak about Jesus, and they should not teach [anyone about him] [MTY] [again].

19 Hianagi Pitake Jonikea, anage huke ke nona zamire hu'na'e, Anumzamofo avurera knare tamagri ke antahisupi, Anumzamofo ke antahigahu'e, tamagratami refako huta antahiho.

But Peter and John replied, “Would God think that it is right [for us two] to obey you and not [to obey] him? [We(exc) will let] you decide [which of those you think is proper].

20 Na'ankure tagra keta antahita huno'a zante keaga nehuankita, tagrama kema tagane'zamo'a amuho hurantegahie.

[But as for us, we cannot obey you]. We will not stop telling people about the things that we [(exc)] have seen [Jesus do] and what we have heard [him teach].”

21 Anama hu'za mago'ane korekema huznantete'za, kina huzanante kankmuna hake'za eri fore osu'za hu'zanantage'ne vu'na'e. Na'ankure ana mika vahe'mo'za e'inahu zama fore hiazankura Anumzamofo ra agi amizage'za nege'za, vaheku koro hu'naze.

Then the [Jewish leaders] again told [Peter and John] not to disobey them. But all the people [there] were praising God about what had happened [to the lame man. The leaders knew that only God could have enabled Peter and John] to miraculously heal the man, because the man was more than 40 years old [and he was lame when his mother bore him. They also knew that the people would become angry if they punished the two apostles]. So, because they could not decide how to punish Peter and John, [they finally] let them go.

22 Na'ankure ana nera 40'a zagekfu agatere'nea nete ana avame'zana fore huno azeri so'e hu'ne.

23 Humaznantagekea, va'azamoke, pristi vahe'mo'zane, ranra vahe'mo'zama maka'zama humaznante'naza kea magoka zamentinti nehaza naga ome zamasmi'na'e.

After Peter and John had been released, they went to the other believers and reported all that the chief priests and [other Jewish] elders had said to them.

24 Ana kema nentahi'za, mago zamagu zamagesare zamagerura erintesga hu'za Anumzamofontega anage hu'za hu'naze. Maka'zamofo Ramoke, Kagra monane, mopane, hagerine, hagi mika zama anampinkama me'nea zantamina trohu'nane,

When they heard that, they [all] agreed as they prayed to God, and [one of] them prayed, “O Lord! You [(sg)] made the sky, the earth and the oceans, and everything in them.

25 Kagra ka'a Avamukafi hankeno Deviti'a nerafa eri'za ne'kamofo agipi huvazinkeno anage hu'ne, Na'a hige'za kokankoka vahe'mo'za zamasigura nehu'za, osuga'zana huku retro nehaze?

The Holy Spirit caused our ancestor, [King] David [MTY], who served you, to write these words: [It is ridiculous] [RHQ] that the non-Jews became angry and the Israelite people planned uselessly [to oppose God].

26 Ama mopafi kini vahe'mo'za magote etru hazage'za, trakere ugagota vahe'tmimo'za zogitru hu'za Ramokane, Kraisinena ha' reneznantaze. (Sam-Zga 2:1-2)

The kings of the world prepared to fight [God’s Ruler], and the [other] rulers assembled together [with them] to oppose the Lord [God] and the one whom he had appointed [to be the Messiah].

27 Na'ankure tamagerafa huno Herotiki, Pointus Pailatiki, megi'a vahe'ene, Israeli vahe'ene, ama rankumapina zogitru hute'za, Ruotge eri'za Neka'a huhamprinte'nana Jisasina ha' rente'naze. Tamage e'i ana avamente Heroti'ene Paeroti'ene ru vahe'ene Israel vahe'mo'zane ama kumate eri atru hu'za manine'za kagri mofavre kagrama hampri'nana nera Jisasina ahenaku hu'naze.

[Lord, we know that what you(sg) said long ago was true], because [King] Herod and the [governor], Pontius Pilate, and many other people, both non-Jews and Israelites, assembled together [here] in this city. [They] planned [to kill] Jesus, who devotedly served you [and] whom you appointed [MTY] [to be the Messiah].

28 Himamu hanaveka'afima ko antahinka egahie hunka retro hunte'nana zamo efore hu'ne.

[Because] you [(sg)] are all-powerful, those people did [only] what you [SYN] allowed [them to do]. It was what you decided long ago would happen.”

29 Hagi menina Ramoka, amama tazeri kore'ma hunerantaza'zana ko, tagra kagri eri'za vaheki, tazeri hanavetigeta oti hampona huneta Kagri nanekea huama hugahune.

“So now, Lord, listen to what they are saying about punishing us! Help us who serve you [(sg)] to very boldly speak messages from you [(sg) about Jesus]

30 Kagraka'a kazana rusutenka kri vahera krizmia eri amne nehunka ruzahu ruzahu kaguvazana Kagri ka'a ruotge eri'za ne' Jisasi agire eri fore huo.

[Also], by your power [MTY] miraculously heal [sick people] and do other amazing miracles [SYN] that show people your power! Ask Jesus, who always serves you, [to give us the authority] [MTY] [to do such miracles]!”

31 Nunamu hutageno, anama zogitru hu'za mani'naza nomo'a kazakaza higeno, ruotge Avamumo'a zamagu'afi avitege'za, Anumzamofo nanekea reku osu'za agafa hu'za hu'naze.

When the believers had finished praying, the place where they were meeting shook. All of them were (completely controlled/empowered) by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit (completely controlled/empowered) all of them}, with the result that they began to speak boldly the words that God [told them to speak].

32 Jisasinte zamentinti nehaza vahe'mo'za raru hu'za mago zamarimpare ene antahintahire nemani'za, tagri' zane hu'za osu'za havia mika'zana omiami nehu'za mani'naze.

The group of people who had believed [in Jesus] were completely agreed about what they thought and what they wanted/desired. Not one of them claimed that he [alone] owned anything. Instead, they shared with one another everything that they had.

33 Tusi'a hanavereti aposol naga'mo'za, Ramo'ma Jisasi'ma fripinti oti'nea nanekea huama nehazageno, zamentintima haza nagara Anumzamo'a tusi'a asunku huzmante'ne.

The apostles continued to tell others, very powerfully, [that God] had (caused the Lord Jesus to become alive again/raised the Lord Jesus from the dead). [People knew that God] was graciously helping all the believers.

34 Anampima mani'naza kevufintira mago'zankura mago'mo'a upara osu'ne. Na'ankure inamofoma mopa'a me'neo, noma'a me'nemo'a zagore atreno ana zago erino,

[Some of] the believers who owned land or houses would occasionally sell [some of] their property. Then they would bring [the money for what they sold]

35 aposol naga eme zamizage'za, fako hu'za zagogu'ma atupa'ma hu'naza vahe zami'naze.

and they would present it to the apostles [MTY]. Then [the apostles] would give money to any [believer] who needed [it]. So no one among the believers was lacking anything.

36 Hagi mago Livae nera, Saiprus hageri amuragozafi kasente'nea nera Josefe'e, mago agi'a aposol naga'mo'za antemi'nazana Banabasi'e. (Ana agimofo agafa'a, zamazeri hankaveti ke zamasmi mofavre hu'ne.)

[For example, there was] Joseph. [He was] a descendant of Levi [and he was born] on Cyprus [Island]. The apostles called him Barnabas; [in the Jewish language] that name means a person who [IDM] always encourages [others].

37 Hanki agripina mopa'a menegeno ana mopa zagore atreno, ana zagoa erino viazamo aposol nagamofo ome zami'ne.

He sold one of his fields, and brought the money to the apostles [for them to distribute to other believers].
