Matendo ya Mitume 5:1-21

¹Efyo, munu mmonga jha akutibhweghe Anania, ni Safira nkwibhi, bhehemelisi sehemu jha mali,

²na afighili sehemu jha hela jhabhahemlisi (n'dala ghwa bhubhele amanyi e'lu), ni kuleta sehemu jha jhisiele ni kujhibheka mu magolo gha mitume.

³Lakini Petro akajbha, Anania, kwa ndabha jhakiki ghwa shetani uumemisi muoyo ghoa jhobhi kujobha udesi kwa Roho mtakatifu ni kufigha sehemu jha maligha n'gonda?

⁴Bhwakati lihemelesibhu lepi, lyajhelepi mali gha jhobhi? Ni baada jha kuhemelesibhwa, lya jhelepi pasi pa uamuzi bhwa jhobhi? Jhikajhebhuli ubhwasiajhi lijambo elu mu muoyo bhwa jhobhi? jhikajhebhuli ubhwasiajhi lijambo elu mu muoyo bhwa jhobhi? Ubhakosilepi bhanadamu bali un'kosi K'yara.”

⁵Katika kup'eteleka malobhi agha Anania abinili pasi ni kufwa. Ni hofu mbaha jhabha hidili bhana bhabhap'eliki e'le.

⁶Bhasongolo bhakahida palongolo ni kumbeka katika sanda, ni kumpeleka kwibhala ni kun'siela.

⁷Baada jha masaa madatu ivi n'dala munu akajhingila mugati bila kumanya kyakikatokili.

⁸Petro akan'jobhela, “Nijobhelayi, kama mwahemelisi n'gonda kwa thamani ejhu.” Akajobha, “Ena, kwa thamani ejhu.”

⁹Kisha Petro akan'jobhela, “jhijhabhuli kwamba mupatene kwa pamonga kun'jaribu Roho ghwa Bwana? Langayi magolo ha bhale bhabhan'syelili n'gosibhu ijhe pandiangu, na bhibeta kupenda ni kupeleka kwibhala.”

¹⁰Ghafla akabina mumagolo gha Petro, akafwa, ni bhala bhasongolo bhakahida mugati bhaka'kolela amalikufwa. Bhakampenda kumpeleka kwibhala, ni kun'siela karibu ni n'gosi.

¹¹Hofu mbaha jhikahida juu jhe kanisa lyoha, ni juu jha bhoha bhaghap'eliki mambo agha.

¹²Ishara simehele ni maajabu fya jhele fihomele ni maajabu fya jhele fihomele miongoni mwa bhanu kup'etela mabhoko gha mitume. Bhajhele pamonga mu ukumbi bhwa sulemani.

¹³Lakini, ajhelepi munu jhongi tofauti jha ajhele ni bhujasiri bhwa kuambatana ne bhene hata naha bhapelibhu heshima jhe panani ni bhanu.

¹⁴Ni kabhele, bhaamini bhingi bhakajha bhijhongeseka kwa Bwana, idadi mbaha jha bhagosi ni bhadala,

¹⁵kiasi kwamba hata akabhap'enda bhatamu mitaani, ni kubhagoneke pa fitanda ni mumakochi, ili kwamba Petro kama ipeta, kivuli kya muene kibhwesiajhi kuselele juu jha bhene.

¹⁶Apu kabhele idadi mbaha jha bhanu bhakahida kuhoma miji jhajhisyonguiki Yerusalemu, bhakabhaleta bhatamu ni bhoha bhabhapagewe ni mapepo ni roho chafu, ne bhoha bhaponyibhu.

¹⁷Lakini kuhani mbaha ajhinuiki, nibhoha bhabhajhe pamonga naku (ambaho bha dhahabu lya masudukayo); na bhamemili ni bhwifu.

¹⁸Bhakanyosya mabhoko gha bhene kubhakamula mitume ni kubhabheka mu ligereza lya jumla.

¹⁹Ni bhwakati wa pakilu malaika bha Bwana akaifungula miliangu ghya geraza ni kubhalongosya kwibhala ni kujobha,

²⁰“Mutolayi, mkajhemayi mulihekalu ni kubhajobhela bhanu malobhi ghoha gha uzima obho.”

²¹Bhobhapeliki e'le, bhakajhingila muhekalu wakati bhwa kubhalala ni kumanyisya. Lakini, kuhani mbaha ahidili na bhoha bhajhenaku, nikukutisya baraza lyoha kwa pamonga, ni bhaseya bhoha bha bhanu bha Israeli, ni kubhalaghisya kuligereza ili kubhalata mitume.
