Matendo 5:4
Acts 5:4 · Biblica® Open Kiswahili Contemporary Version 2015
Je, kabla hujauza hicho kiwanja si kilikuwa mali yako? Hata baada ya kukiuza, fedha ulizopata si zilikuwa kwenye uwezo wako? Kwa nini basi umewaza hila hii moyoni mwako kufanya jambo kama hili? Wewe hukumwambia uongo mwanadamu bali Mungu.”
Acts 5:4 in English
Acts 5:4 · Berean Standard Bible
Did it not belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? How could you conceive such a deed in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God!”
Context
2Huku mkewe akijua kikamilifu, Anania alificha sehemu ya fedha alizopata, akaleta kiasi kilichobaki na kukiweka miguuni pa mitume. 3Petro akamuuliza, “Anania, mbona Shetani ameujaza moyo wako ili kumwambia uongo Roho Mtakatifu, ukaficha sehemu ya fedha ulizopata kutokana na kiwanja? 4Je, kabla hujauza hicho kiwanja si kilikuwa mali yako? Hata baada ya kukiuza, fedha ulizopata si zilikuwa kwenye uwezo wako? Kwa nini basi umewaza hila hii moyoni mwako kufanya jambo kama hili? Wewe hukumwambia uongo mwanadamu bali Mungu.” 5Anania aliposikia maneno haya akaanguka chini na kufa. Hofu kuu ikawapata wote waliosikia jambo lililokuwa limetukia. 6Vijana wakaja, wakaufunga mwili wake sanda, wakamchukua nje kumzika.
