Acts 4
1 And as they were speaking to the people, the priests and captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,
Mgbe ha nọ na-agwa ndị mmadụ ahụ okwu, ndị nchụaja na onyeisi ndị agha na-eche ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ na ndị Sadusii bịakwutere ha.
2 being distressed on account of their teaching the people and preaching by Jesus the resurrection from among [the] dead;
Ha were oke iwe nʼihi na ha na-ezi ndị mmadụ ihe, na-ekwusakwa na nʼime Jisọs ka mbilite nʼọnwụ nke ndị nwụrụ anwụ dị.
3 and they laid hands on them, and put them in ward till the morrow; for it was already evening.
Ha jidere ha tinye ha nʼụlọ mkpọrọ, ruo nʼechi ya. Nʼihi na oge e jidere ha bụ nʼoge uhuruchi.
4 But many of those who had heard the word believed; and the number of the men had become [about] five thousand.
Ma ọtụtụ ndị nụrụ okwu ahụ kwenyere. Ọnụọgụgụ ha ruru ihe dị ka puku mmadụ ise.
5 And it came to pass on the morrow that their rulers and elders and scribes were gathered together at Jerusalem,
Nʼechi ya, ndị na-achị achị, na ndị okenye na ndị ozizi iwu zukọrọ na Jerusalem.
6 and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of [the] high priestly family;
Onyeisi nchụaja bụ Anas nọ nʼebe ahụ, na Kaịfas na Jọn na Alegzanda, na ndị ọzọ bụ ndị ikwu onyeisi nchụaja.
7 and having placed them in the midst they inquired, In what power or in what name have ye done this?
Mgbe ha kpọpụtara ha nʼetiti ha, ha jụrụ ha, “Ọ bụ site nʼike onye, na site nʼaha onye, ka unu ji mee ihe a?”
8 Then Peter, filled with [the] Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people and elders [of Israel],
Nʼoge ahụ, Pita jupụtara na Mmụọ Nsọ. Ọ gwara ha, “Unu ndị na-achị ala anyị, na ndị okenye.
9 if we this day are called upon to answer as to the good deed [done] to the infirm man, how he has been healed,
Ọ bụrụ na unu kpọpụtara anyị ịchọpụta otu nwoke ngwụrọ a si bụrụ onye ahụ dị mma maọbụ otu e si gwọọ ya,
10 be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazaraean, whom ye have crucified, whom God has raised from among [the] dead, by him this [man] stands here before you sound [in body].
ya mere maranụ nke a, unu na ndị Izrel niile, a gwọrọ nwoke a guzo nʼetiti unu site nʼaha Jisọs Kraịst onye Nazaret, onye unu kpọgidere nʼobe, ma Chineke kpọlitere ya site nʼọnwụ.
11 He is the stone which has been set at nought by you the builders, which is become the corner stone.
Jisọs a bụ “‘nkume ahụ unu ndị na-ewu ụlọ jụrụ, nke ghọrọ nkume isi ntọala ụlọ.’
12 And salvation is in none other, for neither is there another name under heaven which is given among men by which we must be saved.
Nzọpụta adịghị nʼime onye ọbụla ọzọ, nʼihi na o nweghị aha ọzọ e nyere nʼetiti mmadụ nʼokpuru eluigwe nke e nwere ike isite na ya zọpụta anyị.”
13 But seeing the boldness of Peter and John, and perceiving that they were unlettered and uninstructed men, they wondered; and they recognised them that they were with Jesus.
Mgbe ha hụrụ nkwuwa okwu Pita na Jọn, na-atụghị ụjọ, ma chọpụtakwa na ha bụ ndị mmadụ nkịtị, na ndị a na-azụghị nʼụlọ akwụkwọ, o juru ha anya. Ma ha ghọtara na ha bụ ndị ha na Jisọs nọkọrọ.
14 And beholding the man who had been healed standing with them, they had nothing to reply;
Ma mgbe ha hụrụ nwoke ahụ a gwọrọ, ka o guzo nʼakụkụ ha, ha enweghị okwu ọbụla ha nwere ikwu megide nke a.
15 but having commanded them to go out of the council they conferred with one another,
Ha nyere iwu ka ha si nʼụlọikpe ahụ pụọ, ma bido ịgba izu nʼetiti onwe ha banyere nke a.
16 saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed an evident sign has come to pass through their means is manifest to all that inhabit Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.
Ha na-asị, “Gịnị ka anyị ga-eme ndị a? Anyị apụghị ịgọ agọ na ha rụrụ ọrụ ịrịbama pụrụ iche. Ndị niile bi na Jerusalem maara ihe banyere nke a.
17 But that it be not further spread among the people, let us threaten them severely no longer to speak to any man in this name.
Ma iji mee ka akụkọ ọrụ ebube a hapụ ịgbasa ruo ọtụtụ mmadụ ntị, ka anyị dọọ ha aka na ntị ka ha ghara ịgwa onye ọbụla okwu banyere aha nwoke a.”
18 And having called them, they charged [them] not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
Ha kpọrọ ha nye ha iwu ka ha kwụsị ikwu okwu maọbụ izi ihe nʼaha Jisọs.
19 But Peter and John answering said to them, If it be righteous before God to listen to you rather than to God, judge ye;
Ma Pita na Jọn zara sị ha, “Kpeenụ ikpe a nʼonwe unu, maọbụ ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Chineke ige unu ntị karịa ige Chineke ntị?
20 for as for us we cannot refrain from speaking of the things which we have seen and heard.
Nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe rara ahụ na anyị ga-akwụsị ikwu okwu banyere ihe ahụ anyị hụrụ na nke anyị nụrụ.”
21 But they, having further threatened them, let them go, finding no way how they might punish them, on account of the people, because all glorified God for what had taken place;
Mgbe ha batụchara ha mba, ha hapụrụ ha ka ha laa. O nweghị ụzọ ọbụla ha ga-esi taa ha ahụhụ nʼihi na mmadụ niile nọ na-eto Chineke nʼihi ihe a mere.
22 for the man on whom this sign of healing had taken place was above forty years old.
Nʼihi na nwoke a gwọrọ nʼụzọ dị ebube agafeela iri afọ anọ.
23 And having been let go, they came to their own [company], and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.
Mgbe ha hapụrụ ha, ha lara kọọrọ ndị ibe ha ihe ndịisi nchụaja na ndị okenye gwara ha.
24 And they, having heard [it], lifted up [their] voice with one accord to God, and said, Lord, thou art the God who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them;
Mgbe ha nụrụ nke a, ha niile ji otu obi welie olu ha kpọkuo Chineke, sị, “Gị, Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị, gị onwe gị kere eluigwe na ụwa, na oke osimiri, na ihe niile dị nʼime ha.
25 who hast said by the mouth of thy servant David, Why have [the] nations raged haughtily and [the] peoples meditated vain things?
Ọ bụ gị sitere nʼaka Mmụọ Nsọ site nʼọnụ nna anyị Devid, onye na-ejere gị ozi, sị: “‘Gịnị mere mba niile ji eme oke mkpọtụ? Gịnị mere ndị mmadụ ji na-apịa ọpịpịa nke na-abaghị uru?
26 The kings of the earth were there, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against his Christ.
Ndị eze nke ụwa na-eguzokwa onwe ha, ndị na-achị achị na-agbakọtakwa, imegide Onyenwe anyị na imegide Onye ya e tere mmanụ.’
27 For in truth against thy holy servant Jesus, whom thou hadst anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with [the] nations, and peoples of Israel, have been gathered together in this city
Nʼezie nʼobodo a, Herọd na Pọntiọs Pailet, na ndị mba ọzọ, nakwa ndị Izrel ezukọtala imegide onye nsọ ahụ na-ejere gị ozi, bụ Jisọs, onye i tere mmanụ,
28 to do whatever thy hand and thy counsel had determined before should come to pass.
ha mere ihe i jiri ike gị na uche gị kwuo na ha aghaghị imezu.
29 And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and give to thy bondmen with all boldness to speak thy word,
Ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị, lee ịba mba ha ma nye ndị ohu gị ike iji gbasaa ozi gị na-atụghị egwu ọbụla.
30 in that thou stretchest out thy hand to heal, and that signs and wonders take place through the name of thy holy servant Jesus.
Setịpụ aka gị gwọọ ndị ọrịa ma rụọ ọtụtụ ọrụ ebube na ọrụ ịrịbama site nʼaha onye nsọ ahụ na-ejere gị ozi bụ Jisọs.”
31 And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke the word of God with boldness.
Mgbe ha kpesịrị ekpere, ụlọ ahụ ha zukọrọ nʼime ya mara jijiji. Ha jupụtara na Mmụọ Nsọ, ma jiri nkwuwa okwu kwusaakwa okwu Chineke.
32 And the heart and soul of the multitude of those that had believed were one, and not one said that anything of what he possessed was his own, but all things were common to them;
Ndị niile kwere ekwe nwere otu obi nʼotu mkpụrụobi. O nweghị onye ọbụla gụrụ ihe ọbụla o nwere dịka nke aka ya, kama ha mere ka onye ọbụla nʼime ha keta oke nʼihe ibe ya nwere.
33 and with great power did the apostles give witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.
Ndị ozi sitere nʼike gaa nʼihu na-agba ama banyere mbilite nʼọnwụ Onyenwe anyị Jisọs, oke amara bakwaara ha niile ụba.
34 For neither was there any one in want among them; for as many as were owners of lands or houses, selling them, brought the price of what was sold
O nweghị onye mkpa kpara nʼime ha, nʼihi na site nʼoge ruo nʼoge, ndị nwere ala maọbụ ụlọ na-ere ha, ma wetakwa ego ha retara na ha,
35 and laid it at the feet of the apostles; and distribution was made to each according as any one might have need.
nye ndị ozi, a na-ekekwa ya nye onye ọbụla dị ka mkpa ya si dị.
36 And Joseph, who had been surnamed Barnabas by the apostles (which is, being interpreted, Son of consolation), a Levite, Cyprian by birth,
Josef onye ikwu Livayị, onye sitere na Saiprọs, onye ndị ozi na-akpọ Banabas (nke pụtara “nwa nke nkasiobi”).
37 being possessed of land, having sold [it], brought the money and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
O rere ala o nwere, weta ego ya, ma tọgbọ ya nʼụkwụ ndị ozi.
