Matendo Ya Mitume 5
Neno: Bibilia Takatifu
Anania Na Safira
5 Pia mtu mmoja jina lake Anania na mkewe Safira waliuza mali yao. 2 Lakini Anania, kwa makubaliano na mkewe akaficha sehemu ya fedha alizopata, akaleta kiasi kilichobakia kwa mitume.
3 Petro akamwambia, “Anania, mbona shetani ametawala moyo wako kiasi cha kukubali kumdanganya Roho Mtakatifu, ukaficha sehemu ya fedha ulizopata? 4 Kabla hujauza hilo shamba lilikuwa mali yako. Na hata baada ya kuliuza , fedha ulizopata zilikuwa zako. Kwa nini basi umeamua moyoni mwako kufanya jambo kama hili? Ujue hukumdanganya mtu ila umemdanganya Mungu.”
Ujue hukumdanganya mtu ila umemdanganya Mungu.”
5 Anania aliposikia maneno haya akaanguka chini akafa. Na wote waliosikia maneno haya wakajawa na hofu. 6 Vijana wakaingia wakaufunga mwili wake wakamchukua nje kumzika.
7 Na baada ya muda wa saa tatu mkewe Anania akaingia, naye hakuwa na habari ya mambo yaliyotokea. 8 Petro akamwuliza, “Niambie, je? Mliuza shamba lenu kwa kiasi hiki?” Akajibu, “Ndio, tuliuza kwa kiasi hicho.”
9 Ndipo Petro akamwambia, “Imekuwaje wewe na mumeo mkaamua kumjaribu Roho Mtakatifu wa Bwana? Tazama, vijana waliomzika mumeo wako mlangoni nao watakuchukua nje.”
10 Na mara akaanguka chini akafa. Wale vijana walipoingia wakamwona kuwa amekufa, wakamchukua wakamzika karibu na mumewe. 11 Waamini wote na watu wote waliosikia habari hizi wakajawa na hofu kuu.
Mitume Wafanya Miujiza Mingi Na Maajabu
12 Mitume walifanya miujiza mingi na ishara za ajabu. Na waamini wote walikuwa wakikusanyika katika ukumbi wa Sulemani. 13 Hakuna mtu mwingine aliyethubutu kujiunga nao lakini watu wote waliwaheshimu sana. 14 Hata hivyo watu wengi zaidi, wanaume kwa wanawake walikuwa wakiongezeka katika kundi la waliomwamini Bwana. 15 Hata walikuwa wakiwabeba wagonjwa wakawalaza kwenye mikeka barabarani ili Petro alipokuwa akipita kivuli chake kiwa guse angalau baadhi yao, wapone. 16 Pia watu walikusanyika kutoka katika miji iliyokuwa karibu na Yerusalemu wakileta wagonjwa na watu waliopagawa na pepo wachafu, hao wote wakapo nywa.
Mitume Washitakiwa
17 Kuhani mkuu na wale waliomuunga mkono, yaani Masadukayo, walijawa na wivu, 18 wakawakamata mitume na kuwatia gerezani.
19 Lakini usiku ule malaika wa Bwana akaja akawafungulia milango ya gereza akawatoa nje akawaambia, 20 “Nendeni mkasi mame Hekaluni mkawaambie watu habari za maisha haya mapya!”
21 Waliposikia haya wakaenda Hekaluni alfajiri wakaanza kufundisha watu. Kuhani Mkuu alipowasili pamoja na wenzake wakaitisha mkutano wa baraza na wazee wote wa Israeli wakatuma wale mitume waletwe kutoka gerezani. 22 Lakini wale maafisa wal iotumwa walipoingia gerezani hawakuwakuta wale mitume mle. Kwa hiyo wakarudi kutoa ripoti kwa baraza. 23 Wakasema, “Tumekuta milango ya jela imefungwa sawasawa, na maaskari wa gereza wamesi mama nje ya milango, lakini tulipofungua milango hakuwepo mtu ye yote ndani.”
24 Mkuu wa kikosi cha Walinzi wa Hekalu na makuhani wakuu waliposikia ripoti hiyo wakashangaa sana wasijue mambo haya yan geishia wapi. 25 Ndipo mtu mmoja akaja akawaambia, “Wale watu mliowatia gerezani wako Hekaluni wakiwafundisha watu.”
26 Ndipo yule mkuu wa kikosi cha walinzi wa Hekalu na wale maofisa wakaenda wakawaleta mitume lakini hawakuwadhuru kwa sababu waliogopa wangelipigwa mawe na watu. 27 Baada ya kuwaleta wakawaweka mbele ya baraza. Kuhani mkuu akaanza kuwahoji,
28 “Tuliwakanya msifundishe kwa jina la huyu mtu, lakini ninyi mmeeneza mafundisho yenu Yerusalemu yote, na tena mmeamua kuwa sisi tuna hatia juu ya kifo chake.”
29 Petro na wale mitume wengine wakajibu, “Imetupasa kumtii Mungu na sio wanadamu. 30 Mungu wa baba zetu alimfufua Yesu ambaye ninyi mlimwua kwa kumtundika kwenye msalaba. 31 Mungu alimwinua, akamweka mkono wake wa kuume awe Mtawala na Mwokozi ili awape wana wa Israeli toba na msamaha wa dhambi. 32 Nasi tu mashahidi wa mambo haya pamoja na Roho Mtakatifu aliyetolewa na Mungu kwa watu wanaomtii.”
Mungu kwa watu wanaomtii.”
33 Wajumbe wa baraza la wazee waliposikia haya walijawa na ghadhabu, wakataka kuwaua wale mitume. 34 Lakini mmoja wao, Far isayo aitwaye Gamalieli ambaye alikuwa mwalimu wa sheria aliyeh eshimiwa na watu wote, akasimama akaamuru wale mitume watolewe nje kwa muda.
35 Ndipo alipowaambia wajumbe wa baraza, “Wazee wa Israeli, fikirini kwa uangalifu mtakalowatendea watu hawa! 36 Kumbukeni kuwa sio zamani sana tangu alipotokea mtu aliyeitwa Theuda ambaye alijidai kuwa yeye ni mtu maarufu, akapata wafuasi mia nne wal ioambatana naye. Lakini aliuawa na wafuasi wake wote wakatawany ika, kazi yake ikawa bure. 37 “Baada yake alitokea Yuda Mgali laya wakati ule wa sensa, akapata wafuasi wengi; lakini naye akauawa nalo kundi lake likatawanyika.
38 “Kwa hiyo, kwa kesi hii nawashauri waacheni watu hawa wala msiwatendee lo lote, kwa maana kama mpango wao na kazi yao ni mambo ya wanadamu hayatafika po pote; 39 lakini ikiwa ni kazi ya Mungu hamtaweza kuwazuia. Badala yake huenda mkajikuta mnam pinga Mungu!”
40 Wakapokea ushauri wa Gamalieli; wakawaita mitume ndani na baada ya kuwachapa viboko wakawaamuru wasifundishe kwa jina la Yesu. Wakawaachia waende zao. 41 Wale mitume walitoka barazani wamejaa furaha kwa sababu Mungu aliwapa heshima ya kupata aibu ya kuchapwa viboko kwa ajili ya jina la Yesu. 42 Na kila siku Hek aluni na nyumbani walizidi kuhubiri na kufundisha bila kukoma, juu ya Habari Njema kwamba Yesu ndiye Kristo.

Ananias and Sapphira
5 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. 2 With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself,(A) but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet.(B)
3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan(C) has so filled your heart(D) that you have lied to the Holy Spirit(E) and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land?(F) 4 Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal?(G) What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”(H)
5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died.(I) And great fear(J) seized all who heard what had happened. 6 Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body,(K) and carried him out and buried him.
7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 Peter asked her, “Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?”
“Yes,” she said, “that is the price.”(L)
9 Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord?(M) Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.”
10 At that moment she fell down at his feet and died.(N) Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband.(O) 11 Great fear(P) seized the whole church and all who heard about these events.
The Apostles Heal Many
12 The apostles performed many signs and wonders(Q) among the people. And all the believers used to meet together(R) in Solomon’s Colonnade.(S) 13 No one else dared join them, even though they were highly regarded by the people.(T) 14 Nevertheless, more and more men and women believed in the Lord and were added to their number.(U) 15 As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter’s shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by.(V) 16 Crowds gathered also from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing their sick and those tormented by impure spirits, and all of them were healed.(W)
The Apostles Persecuted
17 Then the high priest and all his associates, who were members of the party(X) of the Sadducees,(Y) were filled with jealousy. 18 They arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail.(Z) 19 But during the night an angel(AA) of the Lord opened the doors of the jail(AB) and brought them out.(AC) 20 “Go, stand in the temple courts,” he said, “and tell the people all about this new life.”(AD)
21 At daybreak they entered the temple courts, as they had been told, and began to teach the people.
When the high priest and his associates(AE) arrived, they called together the Sanhedrin(AF)—the full assembly of the elders of Israel—and sent to the jail for the apostles. 22 But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there.(AG) So they went back and reported, 23 “We found the jail securely locked, with the guards standing at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.” 24 On hearing this report, the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests(AH) were at a loss, wondering what this might lead to.
25 Then someone came and said, “Look! The men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people.” 26 At that, the captain went with his officers and brought the apostles. They did not use force, because they feared that the people(AI) would stone them.
27 The apostles were brought in and made to appear before the Sanhedrin(AJ) to be questioned by the high priest. 28 “We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,”(AK) he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man’s blood.”(AL)
29 Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than human beings!(AM) 30 The God of our ancestors(AN) raised Jesus from the dead(AO)—whom you killed by hanging him on a cross.(AP) 31 God exalted him to his own right hand(AQ) as Prince and Savior(AR) that he might bring Israel to repentance and forgive their sins.(AS) 32 We are witnesses of these things,(AT) and so is the Holy Spirit,(AU) whom God has given to those who obey him.”
33 When they heard this, they were furious(AV) and wanted to put them to death. 34 But a Pharisee named Gamaliel,(AW) a teacher of the law,(AX) who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a little while. 35 Then he addressed the Sanhedrin: “Men of Israel, consider carefully what you intend to do to these men. 36 Some time ago Theudas appeared, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men rallied to him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing. 37 After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census(AY) and led a band of people in revolt. He too was killed, and all his followers were scattered. 38 Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail.(AZ) 39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.”(BA)
40 His speech persuaded them. They called the apostles in and had them flogged.(BB) Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
41 The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing(BC) because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.(BD) 42 Day after day, in the temple courts(BE) and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news(BF) that Jesus is the Messiah.(BG)
