< Acts 5 >

1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
Iti gwa, muntu ug'wi nai witangwaa Anania, nu Safira musungu akwe, ai aguiye ipatyo nila nsailo,
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.
nu kupiha ipatyo nila mpia nai aguiye (ga nu musungu akwe ai ulilingile ili), nu kuleta ipatyo nilisigile nu kuika mu migulu a itumi.
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?
Kuiti uPetro ai uligitilye, “Anania, ku nik u mulugu umizuiye inkolo ako kuligitya uteele ku Ng'wau Ng'welu nu kupiha ipatyo nila mugunda?
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.”
Itungo nai watulaa likili kuguligwa, shanga ai latulaa nsailo ako? Hangi zeyakilaa kuguligwa, shanga ai likoli mu ulamuli nuako? itulikile uli usige ikani ili munkolo ako? Shanga uakongee anga ana adamu, ila umukongee Itunda.”
5 Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard these things.
Mu kija imakani aya, uAnania ai ugwie pihi nu kutinanga inkolo. Nu woa ukulu ai uaziie ihi nai aligulye ili.
6 The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.
Ahumba akapembya ku ntongeela nu kumuikila mu sanda, nu kumutwala kunzi nu kumuika.
7 About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
Ze yakilaa masaa ataatu iti, u musungu nuakwe ai wingie mukati, aze shanga ulingile naza katulaa kipumie.
8 Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” She said, “Yes, for so much.”
uPetro akamutambuila, “Ntambuile, anga aza ize muguiye u mugunda ku nsailo nanso.” Akaigitya, “Uu, ku nsailo yiyo.”
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.”
Iti gwa uPetro akamutambuila, “Ikutulika uli kina migombilye ku palung'wi ku mugema u Ng'wau Ng'welu nua Mukulu? Goza, i migulu a awo naza amu ikile u mugoha nuako ikoli pa mumpita, hangi aku ukenga nu ku utwala kunzi.”
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.
Kupumbugiilya akagwa mu migulu ang'wa Petro, akatinanga inkolo, ni awo i ahumba akapembya mu kati akamuhanga wakondyaa kusha. Akamukenka nu kumutwala kunzi, nu kumuika pakupi nu mugoha nuakwe.
11 Great fear came on the whole assembly, and on all who heard these things.
Woa ukulu ukapembya migulya a itekeelo lihi, nu migulya a ihi nai igulye i makani aya.
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.
Ilingasiilyo idu nu ukuilwa ai yatulaa yukupumila mukati a antu ku kiila mikono a itumi. Ai atulaa palung'wi mi itando nilang'wa Sulemani.
13 None of the rest dared to join them; however, the people honored them.
Kuiti, kutili u muntu mungiiza nui nsuta nai watulaa nu ugimya nua kuambinkana ni enso; ga ni iti, ai inkiigwe ikulyo migulya a antu.
14 More believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women.
Ga ni ahuiili idu ai atulaa akongeeleka ku Mukulu, ingele nkulu a agoha ni asungu.
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.
ngeli kina ga nai akenkile u ulwae mu kisali, nu kualalisha mu ulili nu mu makoshi, iti kina uPetro anga watule ukukila u mululi nuakwe uhume kusima migulya ao.
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.
Ga ni pan'wanso, ngele nkulu a antu ai apembilye kupuma isali ni ipilimikiiye iYerusalemu, aze a aletile i alwae ni ihi nai ahalinkaniwe ni nkolo ni nshafu, ni ihi ai agunilwe.
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
Kuiti u kuhani nu mukulu ai unyansukile, hangi ihi nai atulaa palung'wi nu ng'wenso ( naza ingi a makumbiko a asadukayo); hangi ai izuiwe nu wilu
18 and laid hands on the apostles, then put them in public custody.
akagoola i mikono ao kua amba i itumi nu kua ika mukati a kadulumu nila mu hangu.
19 But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out and said,
Ni matungo a utiku u malaika nua Mukulu akamilugula i milango a kadulumu nu kuatongeela kunzi nu kuligitya.
20 “Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.”
Longoli, mimike mi tekeelo nu kuatambuila i antu imakani ihi na upanga uwu.”
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.
Nai akija ili, ai ingie mi tekeelo matungo a maniambwa nu kumanyisa. Kuiti, u kuhani nu mukulu ai uzile ni ihi nai akoli nu ng'wenso, nu kitangiisa i anza lihi ku palung'wi, ni anyampala ihi nia antu a Israeli, nu kua lagiilya mu kadulumu iti kualeta i itumi.
22 But the officers who came didn’t find them in the prison. They returned and reported,
Kuiti i anyamulimo nai akalongola, shanga ai a ahangile mu kadulumu, ai asukile nu kuaganuila.
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!”
Kuhangile i kadulumu ilugaiwe iza, ni asunja imikile pa mulango, kuiti nai katula ku ulugula, shanga kihenga u muntu mukati.”
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.
Itungili itngo u jemedari nua itekeelo ni akuhani akulu nai akija i makani aya, ai ingiiwe nu woa ukulu ku nsoko ao, azesiga likutulika uli ikani ili.
25 One came and told them, “Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people.”
Uugwa ung'wi akapembya nu kuatambuila, “iAntu naza muaikile mu kadulumu imikile mi itekeelo nu kumanyisa i antu.”
26 Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.
Iti gwa u jemedari ai ulongoe palung'wi ni anyamulimo, nu kualeta, kuiti bila a kituma u minyomo, ku nsoko ai a itumbile i antu akuhuma a akue ku magwe.
27 When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them,
Nai akondya kualeta, ai a ikile ntongeela a ianza, uKuhani nu mukulu aka akolya, azeligitya,
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.”
“Aza kulagiiye muleke kumanyisa ku lina ili, hangi mukili mumizuiye i Yerusalemu ku umanyisa nuanyu, nu kuhung'wa nsula a kuleta isakami a muntu uyu migulya itu.
29 But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.
Kuiti uPetro ni itumi aka sukiilya. “Kusinja kumukulye Itunda kukila i antu.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.
Itunda nua atata itu ai umiukilye uYesu, nai mumubulagile, ku kumutumbika migulya i ikota.
31 God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.
Itunda ai umukuiye mu mukono nuakwe nua kigoha, nu kumuzipya kutula Mukulu hangi muguni, kupumya upeli ku Israeli, nu ulekelwa nua milandu.
32 We are his witnesses of these things; and so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”
Usese ingi akuiili nia makani aya, nu Ng'wau Ng'welu, naiza Itunda umupumilye ku awo ni imukulyaa.”
33 But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were determined to kill them.
Ianyi anza nai akija iti, ai a ambilwe ni ikuo akalowa kuabulaga i itumi.
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.
Kuiti u pharisayo nai witangwaa Gamalieli, ng'walimu nua malagiilyo, nai ukuigwe ni antu ihi, ai wimikile nu kualagiilya i itumi aholwe kunzi ku itungo ikupi.
35 He said to them, “You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do.
Iti gwa aka atambuila, “Agoha nia Israeli, tuli ahugu nangaluu ni iko ni mukusigiila kua tendeela i antu awa.
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.
Ku nsoko, ikali niaki ilee, uTheuda ai wimikile nu kitendiisa kutula muntu mukulu, ni ngele a antu, apikiie magana anne ai amutyatile. Ai ubulagilwe, ni ihi nai atulaa amukuiye ai asapatie nu kulimila.
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.
Ze yajilaa u muntu uyu, uYuda mu Galilaya, ai uhumbukile i mahiku nanso nia kukilisigwa ualigwa, aka aluta i antu idu ku kituli kakwe. Nu ng'wenso ga ai ulimie ni ihi nai atulaa amukuiye ai asapatie.
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.
Itungili ku mutambuila, ihuji ni antu awa hangi mualeke i akola, ku nsoko, anga i masigo aya ang'wi mulimo uwu ingi wa antu ukugung'wa.
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!”
Kuiti anga utule wang'wa Itunda, shanga mukuhuma ku ugilya; muhumile ga ukuhanga muki kilya ni Itunda.” Iti gwa, ai alutilwe ni imakani akwe.
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.
Uugwa, ai aitangile i itumi nuku a kua nu kualagiilya aleke kuligitya ku lina nilang'wa Yesu, nu kualeka alongole yao.
41 They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for Jesus’ name.
Ai ahegile ntongeela a ianza aze iloile ku soko a aligwa kutula akagisha nu kuhita ku kuligwa ku nsoko a lina ni lanso.
42 Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and preaching Jesus, the Christ.
Ku lulo, kila luhiku, mukati i tekeelo nu kupuma mi ito kupikiil ito ai alongolekile kumanyisa nu kutanantya uYesu kina Musagulwa.
