Matendo 5
Biblia Takatifu (Swahili): New Testament portions
Tongan Bible, Revised West Version
1Mtu mmoja aitwaye Anania na mkewe Safira waliuza shamba lao vilevile.
1Ka ko e tangata ʻe tokotaha ko ʻAnanaia hono hingoa, mo hono uaifi ko Sāfaila, naʻa na fakatau ʻae ʻapi,
2Lakini, mkewe akiwa anajua, Anania akajiwekea sehemu ya fedha alizopata na ile sehemu nyingine akawakabidhi mitume.
2Pea naʻe taʻofi ʻe ia ʻae konga ʻo hono totongi, pea ʻilo foki ia ʻe hono uaifi, kae ʻomi pe hono konga, ʻo tuku ʻi he vaʻe ʻoe kau ʻaposetolo.
3Basi, Petro akamwuliza, “Anania, mbona Shetani ameuingia moyo wako na kukufanya umdanganye Roho Mtakatifu kwa kujiwekea sehemu ya fedha ulizopata kutokana na lile shamba?
3Ka naʻe pehē ʻe Pita, “ʻAnanaia, ko e hā kuo fakapito ai ho loto ʻe Sētane, ke ke loi ki he Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni, pea ke taʻofi ʻae konga ʻi he totongi ʻoe fonua?
4Kabla ya kuliuza lilikuwa mali yako, na baada ya kuliuza, bado hizo fedha zilikuwa zako uzitumie utakavyo. Kwa nini basi, uliamua moyoni mwako kufanya jambo la namna hii? Hukumdanganya mtu; umemdanganya Mungu!”
4Naʻe kei tuku pe, ʻikai naʻe ʻoʻou pe ia? Pea ka kuo fakatau ia, ʻikai te ke faʻiteliha pe ki ai? Ko e hā kuo tupu ai ʻae meʻa ni ʻi ho loto? ʻOku ʻikai ko hoʻo loi ki he tangata, ka ki he ʻOtua.”
5Anania aliposikia hayo, akaanguka chini, akafa. Watu wote waliosikia habari ya tukio hilo waliogopa sana.
5Pea ʻi he fanongo ʻe ʻAnanaia ki he lea ni, naʻe tō ia ki lalo, ʻo mate: pea naʻe hoko ʻae manavahē lahi kiate kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni.
6Vijana wakafika wakaufunika mwili wake, wakamtoa nje, wakamzika.
6Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ʻae kau talavou, ʻo fakakoloa ia, pea ʻave kituaʻā, ʻo tanu.
7Baada ya muda wa saa tatu hivi, mke wake, bila kufahamu mambo yaliyotukia, akaingia mle ndani.
7Pea hili nai ʻae feituʻulaʻā ʻe tolu, pea haʻu hono uaifi, kae teʻeki ʻilo ʻe ia ʻaia kuo fai.
8Petro akamwambia, “Niambie! Je, kiasi hiki cha fedha ndicho mlichopata kwa kuuza lile shamba?” Yeye akamjibu, “Naam, ni kiasi hicho.”
8Pea pehē ʻe Pita kiate ia, “Tala mai, pe naʻa mo fakatau ʻae ʻapi ʻaki ʻae meʻa ni. Pea pehē ʻe ia, ʻIo, ʻaia pe.”
9Naye Petro akamwambia, “Mbona mmekula njama kumjaribu Roho wa Bwana? Sikiliza! Wale watu waliokwenda kumzika mume wako, sasa wako mlangoni na watakuchukua wewe pia.”
9Pea pehē ai ʻe Pita kiate ia, “Ko e hā kuo mo alea ai ke ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻae Laumālie ʻoe ʻEiki? Vakai, ʻoku ʻi he matapā ʻae vaʻe ʻokinautolu kuo nau toki tanu ho husepāniti, pea te nau fata koe kituaʻā.”
10Mara Safira akaanguka mbele ya miguu ya Petro, akafa. Wale vijana walipoingia, walimkuta amekwisha kufa; hivyo wakamtoa nje, wakamzika karibu na mume wake.
10Pea ʻiloange, naʻe tō ki lalo ia ki hono vaʻe, pea mate: pea hū mai ʻae kau talavou, ʻo ʻilo kuo mate ia, pea ʻave ia kituaʻā, ʻo tanu ia mo hono husepāniti.
11Kanisa lote pamoja na wote waliosikia habari ya tukio hilo, waliogopa sana.
11Pea naʻe tō ʻae manavahē lahi ki he siasi kotoa pē, pea mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni.
12Mitume walifanya miujiza na maajabu mengi kati ya watu. Waumini walikuwa wakikutana pamoja katika ukumbi wa Solomoni.
12¶ Pea naʻe fai ʻe he nima ʻoe kau ʻaposetolo ʻae ngaahi mana mo e meʻa fakaofo lahi ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kakai; (pea naʻa nau fakataha kotoa pē ʻo loto taha ʻi he fale hala ʻo Solomone.
13Mtu yeyote mwingine ambaye hakuwa mwamini hakuthubutu kujiunga nao. Hata hivyo, watu wengine wasiokuwa wa imani hiyo waliwasifu.
13Pea ʻi hono toe naʻe ʻikai kau mo kinautolu ha tokotaha, ko ʻenau manavahē: ka naʻe fakaʻapaʻapa ʻae kakai kiate kinautolu.
14Idadi ya watu waliomwamini Bwana, wanaume kwa wanawake, iliongezeka zaidi na zaidi.
14Pea naʻe ului tokolahi ai ki he ʻEiki ʻae kakai tui, ko e tangata mo e fefine.)
15Kwa sababu hiyo, watu walikuwa wakipeleka wagonjwa barabarani na kuwalaza juu ya vitanda na mikeka ili Petro akipita, walau kivuli chake kiwaguse baadhi yao.
15Ko ia naʻa nau fata ai ʻae ngaahi mahaki ki he ngaahi hala, ʻo fakatokoto ʻi he mohenga mo e tokotoʻanga, ke fakamalū honau niʻihi ʻaki ʻae ʻata ʻo Pita ʻi heʻene ʻalu ange.
16Watu wengi walifika kutoka katika miji ya kando kando ya Yerusalemu, wakiwaleta wagonjwa wao na wale waliokuwa na pepo wachafu, nao wote wakaponywa.
16Pea naʻe haʻu foki ʻae tokolahi mei he ngaahi kolo ʻoku ofi ki Selūsalema, ke fetuku mai ʻae kakai mahaki, mo kinautolu naʻe mamahi ʻi he kau laumālie ʻuli: pea naʻe fakamoʻui ʻakinautolu kotoa pē.
17Kisha, Kuhani Mkuu na wenzake waliokuwa wa kikundi cha Masadukayo wa mahali hapo, wakawaonea mitume wivu.
17¶ Pea toki tutuʻu hake ʻae taulaʻeiki lahi, mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe ʻiate ia, (i he faʻahinga ʻoe Sātusi,) kuo nau fonu ʻi he ʻita,
18Basi, wakawatia nguvuni, wakawafunga ndani ya gereza kuu.
18Pea naʻa nau puke ʻae kau ʻAposetolo, ʻo fakahū ʻakinautolu ki he fale fakapōpula lahi.
19Lakini usiku malaika wa Bwana aliifungua milango ya gereza, akawatoa nje, akawaambia,
19Ka naʻe toʻo ʻae matapā ʻoe fale fakapōpula ʻe ha ʻāngelo ʻae ʻEiki ʻi he pō, pea ne ʻomi kituʻa ʻakinautolu, mo ne pehē,
20“Nendeni mkasimame Hekaluni na kuwaambia watu kila kitu kuhusu maisha haya mapya.”
20“Mou ʻalu, ʻo tuʻu ʻi he falelotu lahi, pea malanga ki he kakai ʻaki ʻae lea kotoa pē ʻoe moʻui ni.”
21Mitume walitii, wakaingia Hekaluni asubuhi na mapema, wakaanza kufundisha. Kuhani Mkuu na wenzake walipofika, waliita mkutano wa Baraza kuu, yaani halmashauri yote ya wazee wa Wayahudi halafu wakawatuma watu gerezani wawalete wale mitume.
21Pea kuo nau fanongo ki ai, naʻa nau uhu hengihengi ki he falelotu lahi, ʻo ako. Ka naʻe haʻu ʻae taulaʻeiki lahi, mo kinautolu naʻe ʻiate ia, pea fakataha ʻae kau fakamaau, mo e mātuʻa kotoa pē ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, pea nau fekau ke ʻomi ʻakinautolu mei he fale fakapōpula.
22Lakini hao watumishi walipofika huko hawakuwakuta mle gerezani. Hivyo walirudi, wakatoa taarifa mkutanoni,
22Ka ʻi he hoko atu ʻae kau tangata fekau, ʻo ʻikai ʻilo ʻakinautolu ʻi he fale fakapōpula, naʻa nau liu mai, ʻo fakahā,
23wakisema, “Tulikuta gereza limefungwa kila upande na walinzi wakilinda milango. Lakini tulipofungua hatukumkuta mtu yeyote ndani.”
23ʻO pehē, “Ko e moʻoni naʻa mau ʻilo ʻae fale fakapōpula ʻoku tāpuni maʻu, pea tutuʻu ʻituʻa ʻae kau leʻo ʻi he ngaahi matapā: ka ʻi heʻemau toʻo ia, naʻe ʻikai te mau ʻilo ʻi loto ha tokotaha.”
24Mkuu wa walinzi wa Hekalu na makuhani wakuu waliposikia habari hiyo wakawa na wasiwasi, wasijue yaliyowapata.
24Pea kuo fanongo ki he ngaahi meʻa ni ʻae fungani taulaʻeiki mo e pule ʻoe falelotu lahi mo e kau taulaʻeiki lahi, naʻa nau fifili pe fēfē ai nai eni.
25Akafika mtu mmoja, akawaambia, “Wale watu mliowafunga gerezani, hivi sasa wamo Hekaluni, wanawafundisha watu.”
25Pea naʻe toki haʻu ʻae tokotaha, ʻo ne fakahā kiate kinautolu, ʻo pehē, “Vakai, ko e kau tangata naʻa mou fakahū ki he fale fakapōpula, ʻoku nau tutuʻu ʻi he falelotu lahi, ʻo ako ki he kakai.”
26Hapo mkuu wa walinzi wa Hekalu pamoja na watu wake walikwenda Hekaluni, akawaleta. Lakini hawakuwakamata kwa kutumia nguvu, maana waliogopa kwamba watu wangewapiga mawe.
26Pea ʻalu leva ʻae ʻeiki mo e kau tangata fekau, ʻo ʻomi fiemālie ʻakinautolu: he naʻa nau manavahē ki he kakai, telia naʻa tolongaki ʻaki ʻae maka ʻakinautolu.
27Basi, wakawapeleka, wakawasimamisha mbele ya Baraza. Kuhani Mkuu akawaambia,
27Pea kuo nau omi, ʻo tuku ʻakinautolu ʻi he ʻao ʻoe kau fakamaau: pea naʻe fehuʻi ʻae fungani taulaʻeiki kiate kinautolu,
28“Tuliwakatazeni waziwazi kufundisha kwa jina la mtu huyu; sasa mmeyaeneza mafundisho yenu pote katika Yerusalemu na mnakusudia kutuwekea lawama ya kifo cha mtu huyo.”
28ʻO pehē, “ʻIkai naʻa mau mātuʻaki fekau kiate kimoutolu ke ʻoua naʻa mou ako ʻi he hingoa na? Pea vakai, kuo mou fakapito ʻa Selūsalema ʻaki hoʻomou akonaki, pea ko homou loto ke ʻomi ʻae toto ʻoe tangata ni kiate kimautolu.”
29Hapo Petro, akiwa pamoja na wale mitume wengine, akajibu, “Lazima tumtii Mungu, na siyo binadamu.
29¶ Pea toki lea ʻa Pita mo e kau ʻaposetolo, ʻo pehē, “ʻOku totonu ʻemau talangofua ki he ʻOtua ʻi he tangata.
30Mungu wa babu zetu alimfufua Yesu baada ya ninyi kumwua kwa kumtundika msalabani.
30Ko e ʻOtua ʻoe tau ngaahi tamai kuo ne fokotuʻu ʻa Sisu, ʻaia ne mou tāmateʻi ʻo tautau ʻi he ʻakau.
31Huyu ndiye yule aliyekwezwa na Mungu mpaka upande wake wa kulia, akawa kiongozi na Mwokozi, ili awawezeshe watu wa Israeli watubu, wapate kusamehewa dhambi zao.
31Pea kuo hakeakiʻi ia ʻe he ʻOtua ʻaki hono nima toʻomataʻu ko e ʻEiki mo e Fakamoʻui, ke foaki ʻae fakatomala ki ʻIsileli, mo e fakamolemole ʻoe angahala.
32Sisi ni mashahidi wa tukio hilo, naye Roho Mtakatifu ambaye Mungu amewapa wale wanaomtii, anashuhudia pia tukio hilo.”
32Pea ko ʻene kau fakamoʻoni ʻakimautolu ʻoe ngaahi meʻa ni; pea mo e Laumālie Māʻoniʻoni foki, ʻaia kuo foaki ʻe he ʻOtua kiate kinautolu ʻoku talangofua kiate ia.”
33Wajumbe wote wa lile Baraza waliposikia hayo, wakawaka hasira, hata wakaamua kuwaua.
33¶ Pea kuo nau fanongo eni, pea nau tekelili ʻi he ʻita, mo nau fakakaukau ke tāmateʻi ʻakinautolu.
34Lakini Mfarisayo mmoja aitwaye Gamalieli ambaye alikuwa mwalimu wa Sheria na aliyeheshimika sana mbele ya watu wote, alisimama mbele ya lile Baraza, akataka wale mitume watolewe nje kwa muda mfupi.
34Pea toki tuʻu hake ha taha ʻi he kau fakamaau, ko e Fālesi, ko hono hingoa ko Kāmelieli, ko e akonaki ʻi he fono, pea naʻe ongoongolelei ia ʻi he kakai kotoa pē, pea fekau ʻe ia ke tuku siʻi atu kituaʻā ʻae kau ʻaposetolo;
35Kisha akawaambia wale wajumbe wa Baraza, “Wananchi wa Israeli, tahadhari kabla ya kutekeleza hicho mnachotaka kuwatenda watu hawa!
35Pea ne pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻAe kau tangata ʻo ʻIsileli, mou vakai pe ko e hā ʻae meʻa ʻoku mou tokanga ke fai ki he kau tangata ni.
36Zamani kidogo, kulitokea mtu mmoja jina lake Theuda, akajisema kuwa mtu wa maana na watu karibu mia nne wakajiunga naye. Lakini aliuawa, kisha wafuasi wake wote wakatawanyika na kikundi chake kikafa.
36He naʻe muʻa ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ni ʻae tuʻu ʻa Teutasi, ʻo ne pole ko e lahi ia; pea naʻe ʻalu mo ia ʻae kau tangata, ko e toko fāngeau nai: pea naʻe tāmateʻi ia; pea fakamovete ʻo ʻosi ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe talangofua kiate ia.
37Tena, baadaye, wakati ule wa kuhesabiwa watu, alitokea Yuda wa Galilaya. Huyu naye, aliwavuta watu wakamfuata; lakini naye pia aliuawa, na wafuasi wake wakatawanyika.
37Pea hoko mo e tangata ni ʻa Siutasi ʻo Kāleli, ʻi he ngaahi ʻaho ʻoe tohi kakai, pea ne tataki ʻe ia ʻae kakai tokolahi: pea mate foki ia; pea naʻe fakamovete ʻakinautolu kotoa pē naʻe talangofua kiate ia.
38Na sasa pia mimi nawaambieni, msiwachukulie watu hawa hatua yoyote; waacheni! Kwa maana, ikiwa mpango huu au shughuli hii yao imeanzishwa na binadamu, itatoweka yenyewe.
38Pea ko eni, ʻoku ou tala atu kiate kimoutolu, ʻoua naʻa fai ha meʻa ki he kau tangata ni, kae tuku ai pe ʻakinautolu: he kapau ʻoku mei he tangata ʻae fakakaukau ni mo e ngāue ni, ʻe ʻosi ia:
39Lakini kama imeanzishwa na Mungu, siyo tu kwamba hamtaweza kuwashinda, bali mtajikuta mnapigana na Mungu.” Basi, wakakubaliana naye.
39Pea kapau ʻoku mei he ʻOtua, ʻe ʻikai te mou faʻa fakangata ia: telia naʻa ʻiloange kuo mou tauʻi ʻae ʻOtua.”
40Hivyo wakawaita wale mitume, wakaamuru wachapwe viboko na kuwaonya wasifundishe tena kwa jina la Yesu; kisha wakawaacha waende zao.
40Pea naʻa nau loto ki ai: pea kuo nau ui ʻae kau ʻaposetolo, mo kauʻimaea, naʻa nau fekau ke ʻoua te nau lea ʻi he huafa ʻo Sisu, pea tukuange ʻakinautolu.
41Basi, mitume wakatoka nje ya ule mkutano wa halmashauri wakiwa wamejaa furaha, kwani walistahili kuaibishwa kwa ajili ya jina la Yesu.
41¶ Pea naʻa nau ʻalu mei he ʻao ʻoe kau fakamaau ʻi he fiefia, koeʻuhi kuo nau ʻaonga ke kātaki ʻae fakamā koeʻuhi ko hono huafa.
42Wakaendelea kila siku kufundisha na kuhubiri Habari Njema ya Kristo, Hekaluni na nyumbani mwa watu.
42Pea naʻe ʻikai tuku ʻenau ako mo ʻenau malangaʻaki ʻa Sisu Kalaisi, ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē, ʻi he falelotu lahi, pea mo e fale kotoa pē.
