< Acts 5 >

1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
ανηρ δε τις ανανιας ονοματι συν σαπφιρη τη γυναικι αυτου επωλησεν κτημα
2 and kept back part of the price, and his wife was conscious of it; and he brought a certain part of it, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
και ενοσφισατο απο της τιμης συνειδυιης και της γυναικος και ενεγκας μερος τι παρα τους ποδας των αποστολων εθηκεν
3 But Peter said: Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart, that you should attempt to deceive the Holy Spirit, and keep back part of the price of the land?
ειπεν δε ο πετρος ανανια δια τι επληρωσεν ο σατανας την καρδιαν σου ψευσασθαι σε το πνευμα το αγιον και νοσφισασθαι απο της τιμης του χωριου
4 While it remained unsold, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your own disposal? Why have you purposed this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God.
ουχι μενον σοι εμενεν και πραθεν εν τη ση εξουσια υπηρχεν τι οτι εθου εν τη καρδια σου το πραγμα τουτο ουκ εψευσω ανθρωποις αλλα τω θεω
5 And when Ananias heard these words, he fell down, and expired. And great fear came on all that heard these things.
ακουων δε ο ανανιας τους λογους τουτους πεσων εξεψυξεν και εγενετο φοβος μεγας επι παντας τους ακουοντας
6 And the young men arose and wound him in his mantle, and carried him out, and buried him.
ανασταντες δε οι νεωτεροι συνεστειλαν αυτον και εξενεγκαντες εθαψαν
7 And after an interval of about three hours, his wife, not knowing what had been done, came in.
εγενετο δε ως ωρων τριων διαστημα και η γυνη αυτου μη ειδυια το γεγονος εισηλθεν
8 And Peter answered her: Tell me, did you sell the land for so much? She replied: Yes; for so much.
απεκριθη δε προς αυτην πετρος ειπε μοι ει τοσουτου το χωριον απεδοσθε η δε ειπεν ναι τοσουτου
9 But Peter said to her: Why is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they shall carry you out.
ο δε πετρος προς αυτην τι οτι συνεφωνηθη υμιν πειρασαι το πνευμα κυριου ιδου οι ποδες των θαψαντων τον ανδρα σου επι τη θυρα και εξοισουσιν σε
10 And she immediately fell down at his feet, and expired. And the young men came in and found her dead; and they carried her out, and buried her by the side of her husband.
επεσεν δε παραχρημα προς τους ποδας αυτου και εξεψυξεν εισελθοντες δε οι νεανισκοι ευρον αυτην νεκραν και εξενεγκαντες εθαψαν προς τον ανδρα αυτης
11 And great fear came on all the church, and on all that heard these things.
και εγενετο φοβος μεγας εφ ολην την εκκλησιαν και επι παντας τους ακουοντας ταυτα
12 And many signs and wonders were done among the people by the hands of the apostles; (and they were all with one consent in Solomon’s porch.
δια δε των χειρων των αποστολων εγινετο σημεια και τερατα πολλα εν τω λαω και ησαν ομοθυμαδον {VAR1: παντες } {VAR2: απαντες } εν τη στοα σολομωντος
13 And no one of the rest durst join himself to them; but the people magnified them.
των δε λοιπων ουδεις ετολμα κολλασθαι αυτοις αλλ εμεγαλυνεν αυτους ο λαος
14 And believers in the Lord were more and more added to them, multitudes both of men and women; )
μαλλον δε προσετιθεντο πιστευοντες τω κυριω πληθη ανδρων τε και γυναικων
15 so that they brought the sick out along the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that even the shadow of Peter, as he passed along, might fall on some of them.
ωστε και εις τας πλατειας εκφερειν τους ασθενεις και τιθεναι επι κλιναριων και κραβαττων ινα ερχομενου πετρου καν η σκια {VAR1: επισκιασει } {VAR2: επισκιαση } τινι αυτων
16 And many people of the cities round about came to Jerusalem, bringing the sick, and those who were troubled by evil spirits, all of whom were cured.
συνηρχετο δε και το πληθος των περιξ πολεων ιερουσαλημ φεροντες ασθενεις και οχλουμενους υπο πνευματων ακαθαρτων οιτινες εθεραπευοντο απαντες
17 But the chief priest arose, and all that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees, ) and were filled with indignation;
αναστας δε ο αρχιερευς και παντες οι συν αυτω η ουσα αιρεσις των σαδδουκαιων επλησθησαν ζηλου
18 and they laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the public prison.
και επεβαλον τας χειρας επι τους αποστολους και εθεντο αυτους εν τηρησει δημοσια
19 But an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison by night, and brought them out, and said:
αγγελος δε κυριου δια νυκτος {VAR1: ηνοιξεν } {VAR2: ανοιξας } τας θυρας της φυλακης εξαγαγων τε αυτους ειπεν
20 Go, stand in the temple, and speak to the people all the words of this life.
πορευεσθε και σταθεντες λαλειτε εν τω ιερω τω λαω παντα τα ρηματα της ζωης ταυτης
21 And having heard this, they entered the temple, early in the morning, and taught. But the chief priest, and those who were with him, came and called together the Sanhedrim, and all the eldership of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
ακουσαντες δε εισηλθον υπο τον ορθρον εις το ιερον και εδιδασκον παραγενομενος δε ο αρχιερευς και οι συν αυτω συνεκαλεσαν το συνεδριον και πασαν την γερουσιαν των υιων ισραηλ και απεστειλαν εις το δεσμωτηριον αχθηναι αυτους
22 But when the attendants came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and reported,
οι δε παραγενομενοι υπηρεται ουχ ευρον αυτους εν τη φυλακη αναστρεψαντες δε απηγγειλαν
23 saying: We found the prison closed with all safety, and the guards standing before the doors; but when we had opened, we found no one within.
λεγοντες οτι το δεσμωτηριον ευρομεν κεκλεισμενον εν παση ασφαλεια και τους φυλακας εστωτας επι των θυρων ανοιξαντες δε εσω ουδενα ευρομεν
24 When the priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt about them, what this could mean.
ως δε ηκουσαν τους λογους τουτους ο τε στρατηγος του ιερου και οι αρχιερεις διηπορουν περι αυτων τι αν γενοιτο τουτο
25 And some one came and reported to them: Behold, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
παραγενομενος δε τις απηγγειλεν αυτοις οτι ιδου οι ανδρες ους εθεσθε εν τη φυλακη εισιν εν τω ιερω εστωτες και διδασκοντες τον λαον
26 Then went the captain with the attendants, and brought them without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.
τοτε απελθων ο στρατηγος συν τοις υπηρεταις ηγεν αυτους ου μετα βιας εφοβουντο γαρ τον λαον μη λιθασθωσιν
27 And when they had brought them, they made them stand before the Sanhedrim; and the chief priest asked them,
αγαγοντες δε αυτους εστησαν εν τω συνεδριω και επηρωτησεν αυτους ο αρχιερευς
28 saying: Did we not strictly charge you not to teach in this name? And behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring this man’s blood upon us.
λεγων {VAR2: [ου] } παραγγελια παρηγγειλαμεν υμιν μη διδασκειν επι τω ονοματι τουτω και ιδου πεπληρωκατε την ιερουσαλημ της διδαχης υμων και βουλεσθε επαγαγειν εφ ημας το αιμα του ανθρωπου τουτου
29 But Peter and the apostles answered and said: We must obey God rather than men.
αποκριθεις δε πετρος και οι αποστολοι ειπαν πειθαρχειν δει θεω μαλλον η ανθρωποις
30 The God of our fathers has raised up Jesus, whom you slew by hanging him on a tree.
ο θεος των πατερων ημων ηγειρεν ιησουν ον υμεις διεχειρισασθε κρεμασαντες επι ξυλου
31 Him has God exalted to his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, in order to give to Israel repentance and remission of sins:
τουτον ο θεος αρχηγον και σωτηρα υψωσεν τη δεξια αυτου [του] δουναι μετανοιαν τω ισραηλ και αφεσιν αμαρτιων
32 and we are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit also, whom God has given to them that obey him.
και ημεις εσμεν μαρτυρες των ρηματων τουτων και το πνευμα το αγιον ο εδωκεν ο θεος τοις πειθαρχουσιν αυτω
33 And when they heard this, they were enraged; and they determined to put them to death.
οι δε ακουσαντες διεπριοντο και εβουλοντο ανελειν αυτους
34 Then arose a certain man in the Sanhedrim, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honored by all the people; and he commanded them to put the apostles out for a little while,
αναστας δε τις εν τω συνεδριω φαρισαιος ονοματι γαμαλιηλ νομοδιδασκαλος τιμιος παντι τω λαω εκελευσεν εξω βραχυ τους ανθρωπους ποιησαι
35 and said to them: Men of Israel, consider well with yourselves what you are about to do to these men.
ειπεν τε προς αυτους ανδρες ισραηλιται προσεχετε εαυτοις επι τοις ανθρωποις τουτοις τι μελλετε πρασσειν
36 For before these days Theudas arose, declaring himself to be some great one; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves; and he was slain; and all, as many as believed him, were scattered and brought to naught.
προ γαρ τουτων των ημερων ανεστη θευδας λεγων ειναι τινα εαυτον ω προσεκλιθη ανδρων αριθμος ως τετρακοσιων ος ανηρεθη και παντες οσοι επειθοντο αυτω διελυθησαν και εγενοντο εις ουδεν
37 After this man, Judas the Galilean arose, in the days of the enrollment, and drew over many people after him; and he was destroyed, and all, as many as believed him, were scattered.
μετα τουτον ανεστη ιουδας ο γαλιλαιος εν ταις ημεραις της απογραφης και απεστησεν λαον οπισω αυτου κακεινος απωλετο και παντες οσοι επειθοντο αυτω διεσκορπισθησαν
38 And now I say to you, keep away from these men, and let them alone; for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to an end;
και {VAR1: [τα] } {VAR2: τα } νυν λεγω υμιν αποστητε απο των ανθρωπων τουτων και αφετε αυτους οτι εαν η εξ ανθρωπων η βουλη αυτη η το εργον τουτο καταλυθησεται
39 but if it is of God, you can not bring it to an end: and take heed, lest you be found fighting also against God.
ει δε εκ θεου εστιν ου δυνησεσθε καταλυσαι αυτους μηποτε και θεομαχοι ευρεθητε
40 And they were persuaded by him; and when they had called the apostles in and scourged them, they commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
επεισθησαν δε αυτω και προσκαλεσαμενοι τους αποστολους δειραντες παρηγγειλαν μη λαλειν επι τω ονοματι του ιησου και απελυσαν
41 Then, they went from the presence of the Sanhedrim, rejoicing that they were thought worthy to suffer shame for his name’s sake.
οι μεν ουν επορευοντο χαιροντες απο προσωπου του συνεδριου οτι κατηξιωθησαν υπερ του ονοματος ατιμασθηναι
42 And daily in the temple, and from house to house, they ceased not to teach and to preach Jesus the Christ.
πασαν τε ημεραν εν τω ιερω και κατ οικον ουκ επαυοντο διδασκοντες και ευαγγελιζομενοι τον χριστον ιησουν
