< Acts 5 >
1 Ṣùgbọ́n ọkùnrin kan ti a ń pè ni Anania, pẹ̀lú Safira aya rẹ̀, ta ilẹ̀ ìní kan.
But, a certain man, Ananias by name, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
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.
And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it; and, bringing a certain part, at the feet of the Apostles, he laid it.
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?
But Peter said—Ananias! wherefore did Satan fill thy heart, that thou shouldst deal falsely with the Holy Spirit, and keep back part of the price of the field?
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?”
While it remained, was it not, as thine own, it remained? and, when sold, was it not, in thine own authority, that it still continued? Why was it that thou didst contrive in thy heart this deed? Thou hast not dealt falsely with men but, with God.
5 Nígbà tí Anania sí gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí, ó ṣubú lulẹ̀, ó sì kú, ẹ̀rù ńlá sí ba gbogbo àwọn tí ó gbọ́.
And, as Ananias heard these words, he fell, and expired. And there came great fear upon all that heard;
6 Àwọn ọ̀dọ́mọkùnrin sí dìde, wọ́n dì í, wọn sì gbé è jáde, wọn sì sin ín.
But the young men, rising up, wrapped him about, and, bearing him forth, buried him.
7 Ó sì tó bí ìwọ̀n wákàtí mẹ́ta, aya rẹ̀ láìmọ̀ ohun tí ó ti ṣẹlẹ̀, ó wọlé.
And it came to pass, after about three hours interval, that his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
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.”
And Peter began to say unto her—Tell me! was it, for so much, ye gave up the field? And she said—Yea! for so much.
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.”
And, Peter, [said] unto her—Why was it agreed by you to put to the proof the Spirit of the Lord? Lo! the feet of them that have buried thy husband, are at the door, and they shall bear thee forth.
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.
And she fell instantly at his feet, and expired. And the young men, coming in, found her dead; and, bearing her forth, they buried her with her husband.
11 Ẹ̀rù ńlá sì bá gbogbo ìjọ àti gbogbo àwọn tí ó gbọ́ nǹkan wọ̀nyí.
And there came great fear upon the whole assembly, and upon all them that heard these things.
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.
And, through the hands of the Apostles, were coming to pass many signs and wonders among the people; and they were all with one accord in the portico of Solomon;
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.
Howbeit, of the rest, no one, durst join himself unto them, —nevertheless the people continued to magnify them;
14 Ṣùgbọ́n síbẹ̀síbẹ̀, a sì ń yan àwọn ọkùnrin àti àwọn obìnrin tí ó gba Olúwa gbọ́ kún iye wọn sí i.
And, the more, were being added, when they believed in the Lord, throngs both of 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.
So that, even into the broad-ways, were they bringing forth the sick, and laying them on small couches and beds, in order that, if Peter were coming along, even perchance his shadow, might overshadow some one of them.
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.
Moreover even the throng of the cities all round Jerusalem was coming together, bearing sick folk, and such as were harassed by impure spirits, —who, indeed, were being cured, one and all.
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.
But the High-priest, arising, and all who were with him, —being the sect of the Sadducees, —were filled with jealousy,
18 Wọ́n sì nawọ́ mú àwọn aposteli wọn sì fi wọ́n sínú túbú.
And thrust their hands upon the Apostles, and put them in a public ward.
19 Ṣùgbọ́n ní òru, angẹli Olúwa ṣí ìlẹ̀kùn túbú; ó sì mú wọn jáde.
But, a messenger of the Lord, by night, opened the doors of the prison; and, leading them out, said—
20 Ó sì wí pé “Ẹ lọ dúró nínú tẹmpili kí ẹ sì máa ṣọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ìyè yìí ní ẹ̀kúnrẹ́rẹ́ fún àwọn ènìyàn.”
Be going your way, and, taking your stand, be speaking, in the temple, unto the people, all the declarations of this 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.
Now, when they heard this, they entered, under the dawn, into the temple, and began teaching. And the High-priest and they who were with him, arriving, called together the high-council, and all the senate of the sons of Israel; and sent off unto the prison, to have them brought.
22 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí àwọn olùṣọ́ dé ibẹ̀ wọn kò sì rí wọn nínú túbú, wọn padà wá, wọn sísọ fún wọn pé,
And, the officers who came to the place, found them not in the prison; and, returning, brought tidings,
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.”
Saying—The prison, found we locked with all safety, and the keepers standing at the doors; but, when we had opened the prison, inside, found we, no one.
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.
Now, when both the captain of the temple and the High-priests heard these words, they were utterly at a loss concerning them—what perhaps this might come to.
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.”
But some one, entering, brought tidings unto them—Lo! the men whom ye put in the prison, are in the temple, standing, and 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.
Then, the captain with the officers, departing, brought them—not with violence, —for they were afraid of the people, lest they should be stoned;
27 Nígbà tí wọn sì mú àwọn aposteli dé, wọn mú wọn dúró níwájú àjọ ìgbìmọ̀; olórí àlùfáà sì bi wọ́n léèrè.
But, leading them in, set them in the high- council. And the High-priest questioned 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.”
Saying—Strictly, did we charge you not to be teaching upon this name; and lo! ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and are minded to bring down upon us, the blood of this man.
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 Apostles, answering, said—It is needful to be yielding obedience unto God rather than unto 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, hath raised up Jesus, —whom, ye, got into your hands, suspending him upon 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.
Him, as Princely-leader and Saviour, hath God exalted unto his right hand, —to give repentance unto Israel, and remission of sins.
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.”
And, we, are witnesses of these things, —also the Holy Spirit, which God hath given unto them who are yielding obedience unto him.
33 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí wọ́n gbọ́ èyí, ọkàn wọn gbọgbẹ́ dé inú, wọ́n gbèrò láti pa wọ́n.
And, they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were making up their minds to slay them.
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 certain man, rising up in the high-council, by name Gamaliel, a law-teacher honoured by all the people, gave orders to put the men, outside, for a little, —
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.
And said unto them—Men of Israel! be taking heed unto yourselves, what ye are about to inflict upon 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.
For, before these days, there rose up one Theudas, affirming, himself, to be somebody, —unto whom was inclined a number of men, about four hundred; who was slain, and, all as many as had been trusting in him, were disbanded, and 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, rose up Judas the Galilaean, in the days of the enrolling, and drew a people into revolt after him; and, he, perished, and, all, as many as had trusted in him, 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.
Now, therefore, I say unto you—stand aloof from these men, and let them alone; because if, of men, be this project or this work, it will be overthrown, —
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, of God, ye will not be able to overthrow them: lest once, even fighters against God, ye be found.
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.
And they were persuaded by him; and, calling unto them the Apostles, they, with beating, charged them not be speaking upon the name of Jesus; and let them go.
41 Nítorí náà wọn sì lọ kúrò níwájú àjọ ìgbìmọ̀; wọn ń yọ̀ nítorí tí a kà wọ́n yẹ láti jìyà nítorí orúkọ rẹ̀.
They, therefore, went rejoicing from the presence of the high-council; in that they had been accounted worthy, in behalf of The Name, to suffer dishonour.
42 Ní ojoojúmọ́ nínú tẹmpili àti ni ojúlé dé ojúlé, wọn kò dẹ́kun kíkọ́ni àti láti wàásù ìyìnrere náà pé Jesu ni Kristi.
And, every day in the temple, and at home, they ceased not to be teaching, and telling the good news as to the Anointed Jesus.
