Acts 5
1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
Ma otu nwoke a na-akpọ Ananayas na nwunye ya bụ Safaịra rekwara ala nke ha.
2 and kept back part of the price, his wife also being aware of it, then brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
Na nkwekọrịta ya na nwunye ya, o zoro ụfọdụ ego site nʼego ha retara nʼala ha ahụ, weta nke fọdụrụ bịa tọgbọ nʼụkwụ ndị ozi.
3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back part of the price of the land?
Pita sịrị, “Ananayas, gịnị mere ekwensu jiri jupụta obi gị mee ka ị ghaara mmụọ nsọ ụgha mgbe i zopuuru onwe gị ego site nʼime ego i retara nʼala gị?
4 While you kept it, didn’t it remain your own? After it was sold, wasn’t it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You haven’t lied to men, but to God.”
Ọ bụghị gị nwe ala ahụ tupu e ree ya? Mgbe e rechara ya, ego e retara ya ọ bụghị nke gị, iji mee ka ị chọrọ? Gịnị mere i ji chee echiche ime ihe dị otu a? Ọ bụghị mmadụ ka ị ghaara ụgha kama ọ bụ Chineke.”
5 Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard these things.
Mgbe Ananayas nụrụ okwu ndị a, ọ dara nʼala nwụọ, egwu jidekwara ndị niile nụrụ ihe mere.
6 The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.
Ụmụ okorobịa ndị nọ ebe ahụ batara jiri akwa kee ozu ya bupụ ya ga lie.
7 About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
Mgbe ihe dịka awa atọ gasịrị, nwunye ya batakwara, ma ọ matabeghị ihe mere di ya.
8 Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” She said, “Yes, for so much.”
Pita jụrụ ya, gwa m, “ọ bụ ego ole a ka gị na di gị retara ala ahụ?” Ọ sịrị, “E, ọ bụ ego ole ahụ ka anyị retara ya.”
9 But Peter asked her, “How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”
Pita sịrị ya, “Gịnị mere unu jiri kpebie ịnwa Mmụọ nke Onyenwe anyị ọnwụnwa? Gee ntị, nzọ ụkwụ ndị buuru di gị gaa lie nọ nʼọnụ ụzọ. Ha ga-ebupụkwa gị.”
10 She fell down immediately at his feet and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.
Nʼotu oge ahụ ọ dara nʼala nʼụkwụ ya, nwụọ, ụmụ okorobịa ahụ liri di ya batakwara chọpụta na ọ nwụọla, buru ya pụọ gaa lie ya nʼakụkụ di ya.
11 Great fear came on the whole assembly, and on all who heard these things.
Oke egwu tụrụ nzukọ ahụ niile, tụọkwa ndị niile nụrụ akụkọ banyere ihe ndị a.
12 By the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. They were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.
Ndị ozi ahụ rụkwara ọrụ ebube na ọrụ ịrịbama dị ukwuu nʼetiti ndị mmadụ. Ha niile na-ezukọ na mgbe ụlọ Solomọn.
13 None of the rest dared to join them; however, the people honored them.
O nweghị onye ọbụla kwere iso ha ọzọ, nʼagbanyeghị na ọtụtụ mmadụ na-asọpụrụ ha.
14 More believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women.
Ma otu ọ dị, ọtụtụ ndị nwoke na ndị nwanyị kwere nʼOnyenwe anyị sonyere ha.
15 They even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mattresses, so that as Peter came by, at least his shadow might overshadow some of them.
Nʼihi nke a, ndị mmadụ bupụtara ndị ọrịa nʼokporoụzọ nibe ha nʼute na ihe ndina, ka ọ ga-abụ mgbe Pita na-agafe onyinyo ya ga-adakwasị ụfọdụ nʼime ha.
16 The multitude also came together from the cities around Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits; and they were all healed.
Igwe mmadụ zukọtara site nʼobodo ndị dị Jerusalem gburugburu. Ha butekwara ndị nrịa nrịa, na ndị mmụọ na-adịghị ọcha na-enye nsogbu, a gwọkwara ha niile.
17 But the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy
Mgbe ahụ onyeisi nchụaja na ndị otu ya so nʼotu ndị Sadusii ka ekworo jupụtara obi.
18 and laid hands on the apostles, then put them in public custody.
Ha jidere ndị ozi a tụba ha nʼụlọ mkpọrọ nke ọha mmadụ.
19 But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out and said,
Ma nʼoge abalị mmụọ ozi Onyenwe anyị meghere ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ mkpọrọ ahụ kpọpụta ha sị,
20 “Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.”
“Gaanụ, guzoronụ nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ gwa ndị mmadụ ozi niile nke ndụ ọhụrụ a.”
21 When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak and taught. But the high priest and those who were with him came and called the council together, with all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
Mgbe ha nụrụ nke a, nʼisi ụtụtụ, ha banyere nʼụlọnsọ ukwu malite izi ihe. Ma mgbe onyeisi nchụaja na ndị soo ya bịarutere, ha kpọrọ nzukọ ndị Sanhedrin nke bụ ọgbakọ jikọtara ndị okenye Izrel niile. Ha zipụrụ ozi ka e site nʼụlọ mkpọrọ kpụta ha.
22 But the officers who came didn’t find them in the prison. They returned and reported,
Ma mgbe ndị ahụ ha zipụrụ ruru nʼụlọ mkpọrọ, ha ahụghị ndị ozi ahụ. Ha lọghachiri azụ kọọrọ ndị ọgbakọ ahụ ihe ha hụrụ,
23 “We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside!”
“Anyị hụrụ ka a kpọchiziri ụlọ mkpọrọ ahụ nke ọma, ndị nche guzokwa nʼọnụ ụzọ ya. Ma mgbe anyị meghere ụlọ mkpọrọ ahụ, anyị ahụghị onye ọbụla nʼime ya.”
24 Now when the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were very perplexed about them and what might become of this.
Mgbe onyeisi ndị agha na-eche ụlọnsọ ukwu na ndịisi nchụaja nụrụ okwu ndị a, ọ gbara ha gharịị, ha na-eche ihe nke a ga-apụta.
25 One came and told them, “Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people.”
Nʼotu oge ahụ, otu onye gbabatara gwa ha, “Leenụ! Ndị ahụ unu tụbara nʼụlọ mkpọrọ guzo ugbu a nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu na-ezi ndị mmadụ ihe.”
26 Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.
Ngwangwa, onyeisi agha na ndị agha ya gara nʼụlọnsọ ahụ jide ndị ozi ahụ ma kpụta ha, ma ha ejighị ike mee nke a nʼihi na ha tụrụ egwu na ndị mmadụ ga-atụ ha nkume.
27 When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them,
Mgbe a kpụtara ha, e mere ka ha guzoro nʼihu ọgbakọ ndị Sanhedrin, onyeisi nchụaja jụrụ ha ajụjụ,
28 saying, “Didn’t we strictly command you not to teach in this name? Behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood on us.”
sị, “Ọ bụ anyị adọghị unu aka na ntị ka unu kwụsị ikuzi ihe nʼaha a; ma unu emeela ka ozizi unu jupụta Jerusalem niile kpebiekwa ime ka ọbara nwoke a dịrị anyị nʼisi.”
29 But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.
Pita na ndị ozi ndị ọzọ zara sị, “Anyị ga-erubere Chineke isi ọ bụghị mmadụ.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.
Chineke nna nna anyị a kpọlitela Jisọs site nʼọnwụ bụ onye ahụ unu gburu site nʼịkpọgide ya nʼelu osisi.
31 God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.
Chineke ebuliela ya elu nʼaka nri nke ya onwe ya dị ka Ọkpara eze na Onye nzọpụta, ka o nwee ike inye ndị Izrel niile nchegharị na mgbaghara mmehie.
32 We are his witnesses of these things; and so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”
Anyị bụ ndị ama nke ihe ndị a, Mmụọ Nsọ onye Chineke nyere ndị na-erubere ya isi bụkwa onyeama.”
33 But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were determined to kill them.
Mgbe ha nụrụ nke a, ọ gbawara ha obi, ha chọọ igbu ha.
34 But one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honored by all the people, and commanded to put the apostles out for a little while.
Ma otu onye nʼime ha bụ onye Farisii, bụrụkwa onye ozizi iwu a na-asọpụrụ, aha ya bụ Gamaliel, biliri ọtọ nʼetiti ọgbakọ ahụ, nye iwu ka a kpọpụ ndị ozi ahụ nʼezi nwa oge nta.
35 He said to them, “You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do.
Ọ sịrị ha, “Ndị Izrel, leziekwanụ anya nke ọma ihe unu na-achọ ime ndị a.
36 For before these days Theudas rose up, making himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves. He was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed and came to nothing.
Nʼoge gara aga Teodas pụtara na-egosi na ya bụ onye pụrụ iche, ihe dịka narị mmadụ anọ sokwara ya, mgbe e gburu ya, ndị niile sooro ya gbasasịrị ihe niile a kwụsịkwa.
37 After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the enrollment, and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.
Mgbe nke ya gasịrị, Judas onye Galili pụtakwara gosi onwe ya nʼoge a na-agụ ọnụọgụgụ mmadụ, o nwetakwara ndị sooro ya. Mgbe e gbukwara ya, ndị niile na-eso ya gbasasịrị.
38 Now I tell you, withdraw from these men and leave them alone. For if this counsel or this work is of men, it will be overthrown.
Ya mere, agwa m unu, hapụnụ ndị a ka ha laara onwe ha. Nʼihi na ọ bụrụ na ọrụ ha bụ ọrụ mmadụ, ọ ga-akwụsị mgbe na-adịghị anya.
39 But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow it, and you would be found even to be fighting against God!”
Ma ọ bụrụ na o sitere nʼaka Chineke, unu agaghị enwe ike ịkwụsị ndị ikom ndị a, unu ga-achọpụta naanị na unu na-alụso Chineke ọgụ.”
40 They agreed with him. Summoning the apostles, they beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
Ọgbakọ ahụ nabatara ndụmọdụ ya. Ha kpọrọ ndị ozi ahụ pịa ha ihe, nyekwa ha iwu ka ha kwụsị ikwu okwu nʼaha Jisọs, hapụkwa ha ka ha laa.
41 They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for Jesus’ name.
Mgbe ha hapụrụ ọgbakọ ahụ, ha na-aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼihi na-agụnyere ha na ndị kwesiri ịnara mkparị nʼihi aha ya.
42 Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and preaching Jesus, the Christ.
Ụbọchị niile, nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu ma nʼụlọ ndị mmadụ ha na-akụzi ma na-ekwusa oziọma na Jisọs bụ Kraịst ahụ.
