< Acts 5 >

1 Ṣùgbọ́n ọkùnrin kan ti a ń pè ni Anania, pẹ̀lú Safira aya rẹ̀, ta ilẹ̀ ìní kan.
Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property.
2 Nípa ìmọ̀ aya rẹ̀ ó yan apá kan pamọ́ nínú owó náà, ó sì mú apá kan rẹ̀ wá, ó sì fi í lélẹ̀ lẹ́sẹ̀ àwọn aposteli.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n Peteru wí pé, “Anania, èéṣe ti Satani fi kún ọkàn rẹ láti ṣèké sí Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́, tí ìwọ sì fi yan apá kan pamọ́ nínú owó ilẹ̀ náà?
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 Nígbà tí ó wà níbẹ̀ tìrẹ kọ́ ní í ṣe? Nígbà tí a sì ta á tan, kò ha wà ní ìkáwọ́ rẹ̀? Èéha ti ṣe tí ìwọ fi rò nǹkan yìí lọ́kàn rẹ? Ènìyàn kọ́ ni ìwọ ṣèké sí bí kò ṣe sí Ọlọ́run?”
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 Nígbà tí Anania sí gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí, ó ṣubú lulẹ̀, ó sì kú, ẹ̀rù ńlá sí ba gbogbo àwọn tí ó gbọ́.
On hearing these words, Ananias fell down and died. And great fear came over all who heard what had happened.
6 Àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin sí dìde, wọ́n dì í, wọn sì gbé è jáde, wọn sì sin ín.
Then the young men stepped forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.
7 Ó sì tó bí ìwọ̀n wákàtí mẹ́ta, aya rẹ̀ láìmọ̀ ohun tí ó ti ṣẹlẹ̀, ó wọlé.
About three hours later his wife also came in, unaware of what had happened.
8 Peteru sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Wí fún mi, ṣé iye yìí ni ìwọ àti Anania gbà lórí ilẹ̀?” Ó sì wí pé, “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, iye rẹ̀ náà ni.”
“Tell me,” said Peter, “is this the price you and your husband got for the land?” “Yes,” she answered, “that is the price.”
9 Peteru sí wí fún un pé, “Èéṣe ti ẹ̀yin fohùn ṣọ̀kan láti dán Ẹ̀mí Olúwa wò? Wò ó, ẹsẹ̀ àwọn tí ó sìnkú ọkọ rẹ ń bẹ ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà, wọn ó sì gbe ìwọ náà jáde.”
“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 Lójúkan náà ó sì ṣubú lulẹ̀ lẹ́sẹ̀ rẹ̀, ó sì kú; àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin sì wọlé wọ́n bá a ní òkú, wọ́n sì gbé e jáde, wọ́n sín in lẹ́bàá ọkọ rẹ̀.
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 Ẹ̀rù ńlá sì bá gbogbo ìjọ àti gbogbo àwọn tí ó gbọ́ nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
And great fear came over the whole church and all who heard about these events.
12 A sì ti ọwọ́ àwọn aposteli ṣe iṣẹ́ àmì àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu púpọ̀ láàrín àwọn ènìyàn. Gbogbo wọn sì fi ọkàn kan wà ní ìloro Solomoni.
The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people, and with one accord the believers gathered together in Solomon’s Colonnade.
13 Kò sí nínú àwọn ìyókù tí ó jẹ́ gbìyànjú láti darapọ̀ mọ́ wọn, bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé àwọn ènìyàn ń fi ọ̀wọ̀ gíga fún wọn.
Although the people regarded them highly, no one else dared to join them.
14 Ṣùgbọ́n síbẹ̀síbẹ̀, a sì ń yan àwọn ọkùnrin àti àwọn obìnrin tí ó gba Olúwa gbọ́ kún iye wọn sí i.
Yet more and more believers were brought to the Lord—large numbers of both men and women.
15 Tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí wọn ń gbé àwọn abirùn jáde sí òpópónà, tí wọn ń tẹ́ wọn sí orí ibùsùn àti àkéte kí òjìji Peteru ba à le gba orí ẹlòmíràn nínú wọn bí ó bá ti ń kọjá lọ.
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 Ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn sì kó ara wọn jọ láti àwọn ìlú tí ó yí Jerusalẹmu ká, wọn ń mú àwọn abirùn wá àti àwọn tí ara kan fún ẹ̀mí àìmọ́; a sì mu olúkúlùkù wọn ní ara dá.
Crowds also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those tormented by unclean spirits, and all of them were healed.
17 Nígbà náà ni ẹ̀mí owú gbígbóná gbé olórí àlùfáà àti gbogbo àwọn tí wọn wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ tí ì ṣe ẹ̀yà tí àwọn Sadusi wọ̀.
Then the high priest and all his associates, who belonged to the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. They went out
18 Wọ́n sì nawọ́ mú àwọn aposteli wọn sì fi wọ́n sínú túbú.
and arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail.
19 Ṣùgbọ́n ní òru, angẹli Olúwa ṣí ìlẹ̀kùn túbú; ó sì mú wọn jáde.
But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out, saying,
20 Ó sì wí pé “Ẹ lọ dúró nínú tẹmpili kí ẹ sì máa ṣọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ìyè yìí ní ẹ̀kúnrẹ́rẹ́ fún àwọn ènìyàn.”
“Go, stand in the temple courts and tell the people the full message of this new life.”
21 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì gbọ́ èyí, wọ́n wọ tẹmpili lọ ní kùtùkùtù, wọ́n sì ń kọ́ni. Nígbà tí olórí àlùfáà àti àwọn ti ń bẹ lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀ dé, wọn sì pè àpéjọ ìgbìmọ̀, àti gbogbo àwọn àgbàgbà àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, wọn sì ránṣẹ́ sí ilé túbú láti mú àwọn aposteli wá.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí àwọn olùṣọ́ dé ibẹ̀ wọn kò sì rí wọn nínú túbú, wọn padà wá, wọn sísọ fún wọn pé,
But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there. So they returned with the report:
23 “Àwa bá ilé túbú ni títí pinpin, àti àwọn olùṣọ́ dúró lóde níwájú ìlẹ̀kùn; ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí àwa ṣí ìlẹ̀kùn, àwa kò bá ẹnìkan nínú túbú.”
“We found the jail securely locked, with the guards posted at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.”
24 Nígbà tí olórí ẹ̀ṣọ́ tẹmpili àti àwọn olórí àlùfáà sí gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí, wọ́n dààmú nítorí wọn kò mọ ibi tí ọ̀rọ̀ yìí yóò yọrí sí.
When the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard this account, they were perplexed as to what was happening.
25 Nígbà náà ni ẹnìkan dé, ó wí fún wọn pé, “Wò ó, àwọn ọkùnrin tí ẹ̀yin fi sínú túbú wà ní tẹmpili, wọn dúró wọ́n sì ń kọ́ àwọn ènìyàn.”
Then someone came in and announced, “Look, the men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people!”
26 Nígbà náà ni olórí ẹ̀ṣọ́ lọ pẹ̀lú àwọn olùṣọ́, ó sì mú àwọn aposteli wá. Wọn kò fi ipá mú wọn, nítorí tí wọn bẹ̀rù àwọn ènìyàn kí a má ba à sọ wọ́n ní òkúta.
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 Nígbà tí wọn sì mú àwọn aposteli dé, wọn mú wọn dúró níwájú àjọ ìgbìmọ̀; olórí àlùfáà sì bi wọ́n léèrè.
They brought them in and made them stand before the Sanhedrin, where the high priest interrogated them.
28 Ó wí pé, “Àwa kò ha ti kìlọ̀ fún un yín gidigidi pé, kí ẹ má ṣe fi orúkọ yìí kọ́ni, síbẹ̀ ẹ̀yin ti fi ìkọ́ni yín kún Jerusalẹmu, ẹ sì ń pète àti mú ẹ̀bi ẹ̀jẹ̀ ọkùnrin yìí wá sí orí wá.”
“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 Ṣùgbọ́n Peteru àti àwọn aposteli dáhùn, wọ́n sì wí pé, “Àwa kò gbọdọ̀ má gbọ́ tí Ọlọ́run ju ti ènìyàn lọ!
But Peter and the other apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than men.
30 Ọlọ́run àwọn baba wa jí Jesu dìde kúrò ní ipò òkú, ẹni tí ẹ̀yin pa nípa gbígbékọ́ sí orí igi.
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had killed by hanging Him on a tree.
31 Òun ni Ọlọ́run fi ọwọ́ ọ̀tún rẹ̀ gbé gẹ́gẹ́ bí Ọmọ-aládé àti Olùgbàlà láti fi ìrònúpìwàdà àti ìdáríjì ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ fún Israẹli.
God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior, in order to grant repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel.
32 Àwa sì ni ẹlẹ́rìí nǹkan wọ̀nyí, àti gẹ́gẹ́ bí Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ ti ṣe ẹlẹ́rìí pẹ̀lú, tí Ọlọ́run fi fún àwọn tí ó gbà á gbọ́.”
We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.”
33 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí wọ́n gbọ́ èyí, ọkàn wọn gbọgbẹ́ dé inú, wọ́n gbèrò láti pa wọ́n.
When the Council members heard this, they were enraged, and they resolved to put the apostles to death.
34 Ṣùgbọ́n ọ̀kan nínú àjọ ìgbìmọ̀, tí a ń pè ni Gamalieli, Farisi àti amòfin, tí ó ní ìyìn gidigidi lọ́dọ̀ gbogbo ènìyàn, ó dìde dúró, ó ni kí a mú àwọn aposteli bì sẹ́yìn díẹ̀.
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 Ó sì wí fún wọn pé “Ẹ̀yin ènìyàn Israẹli, ẹ kíyèsi ara yín lóhùn tí ẹ̀yin ń pète láti ṣe sí àwọn ọkùnrin wọ̀nyí.
“Men of Israel,” he said, “consider carefully what you are about to do to these men.
36 Nítorí ṣáájú ọjọ́ wọ̀nyí ni Teuda dìde, ó ń wí pé, ẹni ńlá kan ní òun; ẹni tí ìwọ̀n irinwó ọkùnrin dara wọn pọ̀ mọ́; ṣùgbọ́n a pa á; àti gbogbo iye àwọn tí ó gba tirẹ̀ sì túká, tí wọn sí di asán.
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 Lẹ́yìn ọkùnrin yìí ni Judasi ti Galili dìde ni àkókò kíka àwọn ènìyàn, ó sì ni ẹni púpọ̀ lẹ́yìn rẹ̀; òun pẹ̀lú ṣègbé; àti gbogbo iye àwọn tí ó gba tirẹ̀ ni a fọ́nká.
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 Ǹjẹ́ èmi wí fún un yín nísinsin yìí, ṣọ́ra fún àwọn ọkùnrin wọ̀nyí, kí ẹ sí fi wọn sílẹ̀, nítorí bí ìmọ̀ tàbí iṣẹ́ yìí bá jẹ́ ti ènìyàn, a ó bì í ṣubú.
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 Ṣùgbọ́n bí ti Ọlọ́run bá ní, ẹ̀yin kì yóò lè bì í ṣubú; kí ó má ba à jẹ́ pé, a rí yín bí ẹni tí ń bá Ọlọ́run jà.”
But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them. You may even find yourselves fighting against God.”
40 Wọ́n sì gbà ìmọ̀ràn rẹ̀. Wọn pe àwọn aposteli wọlé, wọ́n si lù wọ́n. Wọn sí kìlọ̀ fún wọn pé kí wọn má ṣe sọ̀rọ̀ ni orúkọ Jesu mọ́, wọ́n sì jọ̀wọ́ wọn sílẹ̀ lọ.
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 Nítorí náà wọn sì lọ kúrò níwájú àjọ ìgbìmọ̀; wọn ń yọ̀ nítorí tí a kà wọ́n yẹ láti jìyà nítorí orúkọ rẹ̀.
The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.
42 Ní ojoojúmọ́ nínú tẹmpili àti ni ojúlé dé ojúlé, wọn kò dẹ́kun kíkọ́ni àti láti wàásù ìyìnrere náà pé Jesu ni Kristi.
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.
