1 Vbvritola hoka nyi akonvgv aminv Ananias, ho ninyigv nywng Sapphira lvkobv bunugvlo yikungyira doonv nga kvvgonyi pyoktoku.
Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property.
2 Vbvritola ninyigv nywng gv lvkobv umkvpakv vmisila hv morko kvvgonyi nyigvbv pvchingto okv kvvgonyi Apostol vdwlo laklwkto.
With his wife’s full knowledge, he kept back some of the proceeds for himself, but brought a portion and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
3 Pitar ninyia minto, “Ananias, no ogulvgabv Uyudvbv nga yaaku dunv okv yikungyira lokv paanam morko nga kvvgonyi pvpvtola no Darwknv Dowa mvvdunv?
Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and withhold some of the proceeds from the land?
4 Atuk lo no yikungyira nga pyoktv madvbv, vv no gvbv rito; okv pyokro kochingbv, morko ngv nokvku. Vbvrikunamv, no ogubv so svkvnvgo ridubv mvngpvnv? No nyi am mvvmado—no Pwknvyarnvnyi mvvdu!”
Did it not belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? How could you conceive such a deed in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God!”
5 Ananias so tvvpa sopikda, hv giyala sidasirato; okv yvv um tvvbvdw mvnwng ngv busu nyatoku.
On hearing these words, Ananias fell down and died. And great fear came over all who heard what had happened.
6 Nyipayapa vdwv aatoku, ninyigv ayak am maatum tumtoku, ninyia agumbv baklin toku, okv ninyia sima ritoku.
Then the young men stepped forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.
7 Gunta aom lvlv kochinglo ninyigv nywng ngv, ogugo ripvdw chiya kumabv, arwnglo aatoku.
About three hours later his wife also came in, unaware of what had happened.
8 Pitar ninyia tvvkato, “Nga mimpato, morko mvnwng ngv si mvngchikre no la noogv nyilu nonyi gv yikungyira pyoknam lo paanamv?” “Vmabv,” hv mirwkto, “mvnwng vmabv.”
“Tell me,” said Peter, “is this the price you and your husband got for the land?” “Yes,” she answered, “that is the price.”
9 Vkvlvgabv Pitar ninyia minto, “Ogubv no la noogv nyiluv Ahtu gv Dowa rikwripak dubv mvngpvnv? Noogv nyilu nga simarinv nyi vdwv vjv agiv daknyado, okv bunu namka agumlo baklin riku!”
“How could you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord?” Peter replied. “Look, the feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.”
10 Vjakpigobv hv ninyigv lvpa lvkwng bv gimupla okv sidapvto. Yaapa vdwv arwng aatola okv ho kaakunamv hv sitoku, vkvlvgabv bunu ninyia baklinto okv ninyigv nyilu adarlo ritoku.
At that instant she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
11 Gvrja mvnwng ngv okv yvvdw so kvvbi tvvpapvdw tvvnv mvnwng ngv busu nyatoku.
And great fear came over the whole church and all who heard about these events.
12 Mvngchigo lamrwpadubv okv kaasartabobv nyi vdwgv pinkolo Apostol vdwv kaatamto. Mvngjwngnv mvnwng ngv lvkin gubv Solomon gv giabv lo kaarwk minsuto.
The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people, and with one accord the believers gathered together in Solomon’s Colonnade.
13 Agum lokv akonvka nyitwnglo mvngpak mabv bunua lvkobv aapwng nyumato, nyi vdwv bunua kainvgobv japnya kujvka.
Although the people regarded them highly, no one else dared to join them.
14 Vbvritola kaiyayabv nyi yangv nyipamv aapwng yayato—Ahtunyi mvngjwngnv nyimv okv nyilo bv twngtv toku.
Yet more and more believers were brought to the Lord—large numbers of both men and women.
15 Kaakunamv lvvmanv nyi vdwa lamtv lo bakdar linto okv gadw lo okv kuchoklo karmu tola ho maanyikinyingka Pitar gv yalu babuv bunua vngsikla okv bunua poya modubv vla ritoku.
As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, so that at least Peter’s shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by.
16 Okv Jerusalem adarai gv banggu lokv nyitwnggo aatoku, ho vdwv yvv lvvmapvdw vmalo yvvbunuam alvmanv dow doonv nga aagvnyato; okv bunu mvnwng ngv poyatoku.
Crowds also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those tormented by unclean spirits, and all of them were healed.
17 Vbvrikunamv Nyibu Butvyachuk okv ninyigv richam mvnwng ngv, sadusis gv ridungnv vdw vla, Apostol vdwa achialvbv kaanwng mabv rinyato; vkvlvgabv bunu rirap dokubv mimisitoku.
Then the high priest and all his associates, who belonged to the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. They went out
18 Bunu Apostol vdwa naatung toku okv bunua kvba patwk arwnglo tumlwkto.
and arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail.
19 Vbvritola ho ayuyupra lo Ahtu gv nyidogindung akonv patwk agiya kukda pvvtola, Apostol vdwa agum linggvto, okv bunua minto,
But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out, saying,
20 “Vngnyika okv Pwknvyarnvnaam arwnglo daktola nyi mvnwng nga so anwnv singdung lvgabv mimpa tvka.”
“Go, stand in the temple courts and tell the people the full message of this new life.”
21 Apostol vdwv tvvda laikula, okv arukamchi doonyi chaalin rilo bunu Pwknvyarnvnaam lo aalakula okv tamsar sarap toku. Nyibu Butvyachok okv ninyigv ajin vdwv Jius gv nyigagatv mvnwng nga dopam pamdubv gokum nyato; vbvrikunamv patwk lo nyi vdwa orto jitola Apostol vdwa bunugv kaagialo boolwk dubv minto.
At daybreak the apostles entered the temple courts as they had been told and began to teach the people. When the high priest and his associates arrived, they convened the Sanhedrin—the full assembly of the elders of Israel—and sent to the jail for the apostles.
22 Vbvritola vdwlo nyigam vdwv vngchi tokudw, bunu Apostol vdwa patwk arwnglo kaapa kuma, vkvlvgabv bunu kvba lo vngkur lakula okv mimpa toku,
But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there. So they returned with the report:
23 “Ngonu vdwlo patwk hoka vngchi kunamv, ngonu vriap am alvbv raktin dubv kaato okv agi ho kaaria nvngv chin mvnwng ngv dakdubv kaato; vbvritola vdwlo ngonu agiya kokda kunamv, ngonu arwnglo akoka kaapa kumato!”
“We found the jail securely locked, with the guards posted at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.”
24 Vdwlo nyibu butv mvnwng okv gvrja lo kaariadakrianv vdwv so tvvpa kunam gola, Apostol vdwa ogugo riku namngvdw bunu lamrwsuk panya toku.
When the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard this account, they were perplexed as to what was happening.
25 Vbvrikunamv nyi ako arwng aatoku okv bunua minto, “Tvvriato! Nonu patwk tumnam nyi vdwv Pwknvyarnvnaam arwng gv nyi vdwa tamsar nyadu!”
Then someone came in and announced, “Look, the men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people!”
26 Vkvlvgabv Nyigam gamtv angv ninyigv nyi vdwa lvkobv vnglaku okv Apostol vdwa aakur gvvtoku. Vbvrikujvka, bunu mvduridu bv mvngka kuma, vkvlvgavbolo bunu busu nyato ho nyi vdwv bunua vlwng orji mvngbv.
At that point, the captain went with the officers and brought the apostles—but not by force, for fear the people would stone them.
27 Bunu Apostol vdwa arwnglo aagv tola, bunua kvba kaagialo dakmu toku, okv Nyibu Butvyachok angv bunua tvvkato.
They brought them in and made them stand before the Sanhedrin, where the high priest interrogated them.
28 “Ngonu nonuam so nyi angv amin bv tamsar karma bvkv vla orto jitoku,” hv minto; “vbvritola nonuno ogugo ridudw kaatoku! Nonugv tamsarnama Jerusalem mvnwnglo dupwng mooto, okv nonuno ninyigv siku nvgv lvgabv alv ponampoma nga ngonua laarwk simu dubv mvngdu!”
“We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,” he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us responsible for this man’s blood.”
29 Pitar okv Apostol kvvgonv mirwksito, “Ngonu Pwknvyarnvnyi tvvrung dubv rirungdu, nyi yanga ma.
But Peter and the other apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than men.
30 Ngonugv abuapa gv Pwknvyarnv sikunv Jisunyi turrap motoku, nonugv ninyia daapolo takkiro kochingbv.
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had killed by hanging Him on a tree.
31 Pwknvyarnv ninyia turkur motoku ninyigv lakbik takbvku Rigvnvgobv okv Ringnv gobv, Israel gv nyi vdwa mvngdin modubv alvnv dw nga jitoku okv bunugv rimur am mvngnga dokubv.
God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior, in order to grant repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel.
32 So oguogu mvnwng nga ngonu tvriakarianv vdwv Ngonu okv Darwknv Dow, yvvdw Pwknvyarnv gv amin jinam hogv yvbunudw ninyia tvvdunv.”
We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.”
33 Vdwlo dopam gv nyi vdwv sum tvvpa nvgola, ho bunu mvnwng ngv achialvbv haachito bunu Apostol vdwa mvki dukubv mvngnya toku.
When the Council members heard this, they were enraged, and they resolved to put the apostles to death.
34 Vbvritola bunugv lokv akonv, Parisis go aminv Gamaliel vnamgo hv Pvbv tamsar nvgo okv nyi mvnwng gv mvngdv kunam go, kvba arwnglo dakrap toku. Hv Apostol vdwa agumlo achukgo daklin modubv orto jitoku,
But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a short time.
35 okv vbvrikunamv hv kvba vdwa minto, “Israel gv ribam vdwa, so nyi vdw sum nonuno ogugo ritvdonvdw imasuto laka.
“Men of Israel,” he said, “consider carefully what you are about to do to these men.
36 Nonuno mvngpato kvvlogv ho Tiudas gv kaatam nama, nyi kvvgonv kaibogobv hartvto, okv nyiga lvngpi gobv ninyia tulwkla riming gvvto. Vbvritola ninyia mvki kunamv, ninyigv nyi vdwv apinain toku, okv ninyigv binamtapnamka siro nyvrokaku.
Some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men joined him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing.
37 Hokochingbv, Judas Galili nyi go amin lvkardw alulo aalwkto; ninyigv nyitwnggo ninyia kochingbv riming gvvto, vbvritola ninyia aka mvki toku, okv ninyigv ribam mvnwng vka kipinkiyin toku.
After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census and drew away people after him. He too perished, and all his followers were scattered.
38 Okv so lvgabv, ngo nonua mindunv, oguguka ho nyi vdwa mvmarima bvka. Bunua mvngchik toputo! Bunu ogugo rungdupadudw okv ridupadudw vv nyi mvngdungridung lokv ridubolo, vv nyeri kunvpv,
So in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone. Let them go! For if their purpose or endeavor is of human origin, it will fail.
39 vbvritola vv Pwknvyarnv gvlokv aadubolo, nonuno bunua mvchinrichin nyomare. Nonuno chinsure atubongv Pwknvyarnvnyi rinyingriru bv padarminsu namnga!” Kvba mvnwng ngv Gamaliel gv minam am tvvtoku.
But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them. You may even find yourselves fighting against God.”
40 Bunu Apostol vdwa goklwk tvla, bunua svnyak patoku, okv bunua Jisu gv amin bv mingku madu kubv mintoku; okv vbvrikunamv bunua anyubv topu jitoku.
At this, they yielded to Gamaliel. They called the apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.
41 Okvku Apostol vdwv kvba lokv lintoku, bunu himpu toku, vkvlvgavbolo Pwknvyarnv ngv bunua Jisu gvbv rinam adwkaku nvnga boktalwkji toku.
The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.
42 Okv aludwkibv Pwknvyarnvnaam lo okv nyi mvnwng gv naam lo bunu minsar sarbv dula okv alvnv yunying nga Jisu Kristo lvkwnglo gvvtam jitoku.
Every day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ.
