< Acts 3 >

1 Peter and John were on their way up to the Temple at the time of the afternoon prayer, around 3 p.m.
Mũthenya ũmwe Petero na Johana nĩmambatire magĩthiĩ hekarũ-inĩ ihinda rĩa mahooya, na kwarĩ thaa kenda cia mũthenya.
2 A man who had been lame from birth was being carried there. Every day he was placed beside the Temple gate called “Beautiful” so he could beg from the people going into the Temple.
Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ waciarĩtwo arĩ mwonju nĩakuuagwo agatwarwo kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa hekarũ kĩrĩa gĩetagwo Gĩthaka, akaigwo ho o mũthenya nĩguo ahooe mbeeca kũrĩ andũ arĩa maatoonyaga hekarũ.
3 He saw Peter and John as they were about to enter the Temple and asked them for some money.
Na rĩrĩa onire Petero na Johana marĩ hakuhĩ gũtoonya-rĩ, akĩmahooya mbeeca.
4 Peter looked right at him. John did, too. “Look at us!” Peter said.
Nao Petero na Johana makĩmũkũũrĩra maitho. Hĩndĩ ĩyo Petero akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Ta tũrore!”
5 The lame man gave them his full attention, expecting to get something from them.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũndũ ũcio akĩmarora, erĩgĩrĩire atĩ nĩmekũmũhe kĩndũ.
6 “I don't have any silver or gold,” Peter told him, “but I'll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk!”
Petero agĩcooka akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Betha na thahabu ndirĩ nacio, no kĩrĩa ndĩ nakĩo nĩkĩo ngũkũhe. Thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jesũ Kristũ wa Nazarethi, ũkĩra wĩtware.”
7 Peter took him by the right hand and helped him up. Right away his feet and ankles became strong.
Akĩmũnyiita guoko gwake kwa ũrĩo, akĩmũrũgamia na igũrũ, na o hĩndĩ ĩyo magũrũ na thũngʼwa cia mũndũ ũcio ikĩgĩa na hinya.
8 He jumped to his feet, and then began to walk. He went with them into the Temple, walking and jumping and praising God.
Nake akĩrũga na igũrũ, akĩambĩrĩria gwĩtwara. Agĩcooka agĩthiĩ nao hekarũ-inĩ, etwarĩte na magũrũ, akĩrũgarũgaga na akĩgoocaga Ngai.
9 Everyone there saw him walking around and praising God.
Rĩrĩa andũ othe monire agĩĩtwara na magũrũ akĩgoocaga Ngai,
10 They recognized him as the beggar who used to sit by the Temple's Beautiful Gate, and they were surprised and amazed at what had happened to him.
makĩmenya atĩ nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa watũũraga aikarĩte kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa hekarũ kĩrĩa gĩetagwo Gĩthaka akĩhooya mbeeca. Nao makĩgega mamakĩte nĩkuona ũrĩa kwahanĩkĩte harĩ mũndũ ũcio.
11 He held on tightly to Peter and John while everyone ran to them by Solomon's Porch in complete astonishment at what had happened.
Mũndũ ũcio watũũrĩte ahooyaga mbeeca-rĩ, o enyiitĩrĩire Petero na Johana, andũ othe makĩgega na magĩũka matengʼerete nginya hau maarĩ, naho heetagwo Gĩthaku gĩa Solomoni.
12 When Peter saw this opportunity he told them, “People of Israel, why are you surprised at what's happened to this man? Why are you staring at us as if it was by our own power or faith that we made him walk?
Rĩrĩa Petero onire ũguo, akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Andũ aya a Isiraeli, ũndũ ũyũ ũramũgegia nĩkĩ? Mũratũrora atĩa taarĩ hinya witũ kana ũthingu witũ watũma mũndũ ũyũ etware na magũrũ?
13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—the God of our forefathers—has glorified his servant Jesus. He was the one you betrayed and rejected in the presence of Pilate, even after Pilate had decided to release him.
Ngai wa Iburahĩmu, na Isaaka na Jakubu, o we Ngai wa maithe maitũ, nĩagoocithĩtie ndungata yake Jesũ. Inyuĩ nĩmwamũneanire ooragwo, na mũkĩmũkaana mbere ya Pilato, o na gũtuĩka nĩatuĩte itua rĩa kũmũrekereria.
14 You rejected the one who is holy and good, and demanded a murderer be released to you.
Mwakaanire Ũrĩa Mũtheru na Mũthingu mũkiuga muohorerwo mũũragani.
15 You killed the author of life, the one God raised from the dead—and we are witnesses to this.
Mworagire ũrĩa mũheani wa muoyo, no Ngai nĩamũriũkirie kuuma kũrĩ arĩa akuũ. Ithuĩ tũrĩ aira a ũhoro ũcio.
16 By trusting in Jesus' name this man was healed by him. You see this man here; you know him. Through trusting in Jesus this man has received complete healing right in front of all of you.
Nĩ ũndũ wa wĩtĩkio thĩinĩ wa rĩĩtwa rĩa Jesũ, mũndũ ũyũ mũrona na mũũĩ, nĩagĩĩte na hinya. Nĩ rĩĩtwa rĩa Jesũ na wĩtĩkio ũrĩa uumanaga nake watũma mũndũ ũyũ ahone o ta ũrĩa inyuothe mũreyonera.
17 Now I know, brothers and sisters, that you did this in ignorance, like your rulers.
“Na rĩrĩ, ariũ a Ithe witũ, nĩnjũũĩ atĩ mwekire ũguo nĩ ũndũ wa kũrigwo, o ta ũrĩa atongoria anyu o nao meekire.
18 But God fulfilled what he had prophesied through all the prophets: that his Messiah would suffer.
No rĩrĩ, ũguo nĩguo Ngai aahingirie ũrĩa aarĩtie o mbere na tũnua twa anabii othe, akiuga atĩ Kristũ wake nĩakanyariirĩka.
19 Now repent, and change your ways, that your sins can be wiped away, so the Lord can send opportunities for you to heal and recover,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mwĩrirei na mũgarũrũke kũrĩ Ngai, nĩgeetha mehia manyu meherio, nĩguo mũgĩe na mahinda ma kũrurumũkio moimĩte kũrĩ Mwathani, na
20 and send Jesus, the Messiah appointed for you.
nĩguo atũme Kristũ, o we ũrĩa wamũrĩtwo nĩ ũndũ wanyu, nake nĩwe Jesũ.
21 For he must stay in heaven until the time when everything is restored, as God announced through his holy prophets long ago. (aiōn g165)
We no nginya aikare igũrũ o nginya ihinda rĩkinye rĩa Ngai rĩa gũcookereria maũndũ mothe, o ta ũrĩa eranĩire o tene na tũnua twa anabii aake atheru. (aiōn g165)
22 Moses said, ‘The Lord God will send you a prophet from among your own people who is like me. You must listen to everything he tells you.
Nĩgũkorwo Musa oigire atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Ngai wanyu nĩakamwarahũrĩra mũnabii o ta niĩ kuuma kũrĩ andũ anyu. Na no nginya mũgaathikĩrĩria ũrĩa wothe akaamwĩra.
23 Anybody who doesn't listen to him will be totally removed from the people.’
Na rĩrĩ, mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũtakamũthikĩrĩria, nĩakeherio biũ kuuma kũrĩ andũ ao.’
24 All the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel on, prophesied about these days.
“Ti-itherũ, anabii othe kuuma hĩndĩ ya Samũeli, arĩa manaaria, nĩ maaririe ũhoro wa matukũ maya.
25 You are the sons of the prophets, and of the agreement which God made with your fathers when he said to Abraham, ‘From your descendants all the families of the earth will be blessed.’
Na inyuĩ mũrĩ ariũ a anabii, na a kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa Ngai aarĩkanĩire na maithe manyu. Eerire Iburahĩmu atĩrĩ, ‘Na nĩ ũndũ wa rũciaro rwaku, andũ othe a thĩ nĩmakarathimwo.’
26 God prepared his Servant and sent him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your evil ways.”
Rĩrĩa Ngai aariũkirie ndungata yake, aambire kũmĩtũma kũrĩ inyuĩ nĩgeetha amũrathime na ũndũ wa kũgarũra o ũmwe wanyu kuuma kũrĩ mĩtũũrĩre yanyu ya waganu.”
