< Acts 5 >

1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Saphira his wife, sold a piece of land,
ανηρ δε τισ ανανιασ ονοματι συν σαπφειρη τη γυναικι αυτου επωλησεν κτημα
2 And by fraud kept back part of the price of the land, his wife being privy thereunto: and bringing a certain part of it, laid it at the feet of the apostles.
και ενοσφισατο απο τησ τιμησ συνειδυιασ και τησ γυναικοσ αυτου και ενεγκασ μεροσ τι παρα τουσ ποδασ των αποστολων εθηκεν
3 But Peter said: Ananias, why hath Satan tempted thy heart, that thou shouldst lie to the Holy Ghost, and by fraud keep part of the price of the land?
ειπεν δε πετροσ ανανια δια τι επληρωσεν ο σατανασ την καρδιαν σου ψευσασθαι σε το πνευμα το αγιον και νοσφισασθαι σε απο τησ τιμησ του χωριου
4 Whilst it remained, did it not remain to thee? and after it was sold, was it not in thy power? Why hast thou conceived this thing in thy heart? Thou hast 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 Ananias hearing these words, fell down, and gave up the ghost. And there came great fear upon all that heard it.
ακουων δε ο ανανιασ τουσ λογουσ τουτουσ πεσων εξεψυξεν και εγενετο φοβοσ μεγασ επι παντασ τουσ ακουοντασ ταυτα
6 And the young men rising up, removed him, and carrying him out, buried him.
ανασταντεσ δε οι νεωτεροι συνεστειλαν αυτον και εξενεγκαντεσ εθαψαν
7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
εγενετο δε ωσ ωρων τριων διαστημα και η γυνη αυτου μη ειδυια το γεγονοσ εισηλθεν
8 And Peter said to her: Tell me, woman, whether you sold the land for so much? And she said: Yea, for so much.
απεκριθη δε αυτη ο πετροσ ειπε μοι ει τοσουτου το χωριον απεδοσθε η δε ειπεν ναι τοσουτου
9 And Peter said unto her: Why have you agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold the feet of them who have buried thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee out.
ο δε πετροσ ειπεν 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 Immediately she fell down before his feet, and gave up the ghost. And the young men coming in, found her dead: and carried her out, and buried her by her husband.
επεσεν δε παραχρημα παρα τουσ ποδασ αυτου και εξεψυξεν εισελθοντεσ δε οι νεανισκοι ευρον αυτην νεκραν και εξενεγκαντεσ εθαψαν προσ τον ανδρα αυτησ
11 And there came great fear upon the whole church, and upon all that heard these things.
και εγενετο φοβοσ μεγασ εφ ολην την εκκλησιαν και επι παντασ τουσ ακουοντασ ταυτα
12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.
δια δε των χειρων των αποστολων εγινετο σημεια και τερατα εν τω λαω πολλα και ησαν ομοθυμαδον απαντεσ εν τη στοα σολομωντοσ
13 But of the rest no man durst join himself unto them; but the people magnified them.
των δε λοιπων ουδεισ ετολμα κολλασθαι αυτοισ αλλ εμεγαλυνεν αυτουσ ο λαοσ
14 And the multitude of men and women who believed in the Lord, was more increased:
μαλλον δε προσετιθεντο πιστευοντεσ τω κυριω πληθη ανδρων τε και γυναικων
15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that when Peter came, his shadow at the least, might overshadow any of them, and they might be delivered from their infirmities.
ωστε κατα τασ πλατειασ εκφερειν τουσ ασθενεισ και τιθεναι επι κλινων και κραββατων ινα ερχομενου πετρου καν η σκια επισκιαση τινι αυτων
16 And there came also together to Jerusalem a multitude out of the neighboring cities, bringing sick persons, and such as were troubled with unclean spirits; who were all healed.
συνηρχετο δε και το πληθοσ των περιξ πολεων εισ ιερουσαλημ φεροντεσ ασθενεισ και οχλουμενουσ υπο πνευματων ακαθαρτων οιτινεσ εθεραπευοντο απαντεσ
17 Then the high priest rising up, and all they that were with him, (which is the heresy of the Sadducees, ) were filled with envy.
αναστασ δε ο αρχιερευσ και παντεσ οι συν αυτω η ουσα αιρεσισ των σαδδουκαιων επλησθησαν ζηλου
18 And they laid hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
και επεβαλον τασ χειρασ αυτων επι τουσ αποστολουσ και εθεντο αυτουσ εν τηρησει δημοσια
19 But an angel of the Lord by night opening the doors of the prison, and leading them out, said:
αγγελοσ δε κυριου δια τησ νυκτοσ ηνοιξεν τασ θυρασ τησ φυλακησ εξαγαγων τε αυτουσ ειπεν
20 Go, and standing speak in the temple 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 Who having heard this, early in the morning, entered into the temple, and taught. And the high priest coming, and they that were with him, called together the council, and all the ancients of the children of Israel; and they 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 ministers came, and opening the prison, found them not there, they returned and told,
οι δε υπηρεται παραγενομενοι ουχ ευρον αυτουσ εν τη φυλακη αναστρεψαντεσ δε απηγγειλαν
23 Saying: The prison indeed we found shut with all diligence, and the keepers standing before the doors; but opening it, we found no man within.
λεγοντεσ οτι το μεν δεσμωτηριον ευρομεν κεκλεισμενον εν παση ασφαλεια και τουσ φυλακασ εστωτασ προ των θυρων ανοιξαντεσ δε εσω ουδενα ευρομεν
24 Now when the officer of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt concerning them, what would come to pass.
ωσ δε ηκουσαν τουσ λογουσ τουτουσ ο τε ιερευσ και ο στρατηγοσ του ιερου και οι αρχιερεισ διηπορουν περι αυτων τι αν γενοιτο τουτο
25 But one came and told them: Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple standing, 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 officer with the ministers, and brought them without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.
τοτε απελθων ο στρατηγοσ συν τοισ υπηρεταισ ηγαγεν αυτουσ ου μετα βιασ εφοβουντο γαρ τον λαον ινα μη λιθασθωσιν
27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,
αγαγοντεσ δε αυτουσ εστησαν εν τω συνεδριω και επηρωτησεν αυτουσ ο αρχιερευσ
28 Saying: Commanding we commanded you, that you should not teach in this name; and behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and you have a mind to bring the blood of this man upon us.
λεγων 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 answering, said: We ought to obey God, rather than men.
αποκριθεισ δε πετροσ και οι αποστολοι ειπον πειθαρχειν δει θεω μαλλον η ανθρωποισ
30 The God of our fathers hath raised up Jesus, whom you put to death, hanging him upon a tree.
ο θεοσ των πατερων ημων ηγειρεν ιησουν ον υμεισ διεχειρισασθε κρεμασαντεσ επι ξυλου
31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand, to be Prince and Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.
τουτον ο θεοσ αρχηγον και σωτηρα υψωσεν τη δεξια αυτου δουναι μετανοιαν τω ισραηλ και αφεσιν αμαρτιων
32 And we are witnesses of these things and the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to all that obey him.
και ημεισ εσμεν αυτου μαρτυρεσ των ρηματων τουτων και το πνευμα δε το αγιον ο εδωκεν ο θεοσ τοισ πειθαρχουσιν αυτω
33 When they had heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they thought to put them to death.
οι δε ακουοντεσ διεπριοντο και εβουλευοντο ανελειν αυτουσ
34 But one in the council rising up, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, respected by all the people, commanded the men to be put forth a little while.
αναστασ δε τισ εν τω συνεδριω φαρισαιοσ ονοματι γαμαλιηλ νομοδιδασκαλοσ τιμιοσ παντι τω λαω εκελευσεν εξω βραχυ τι τουσ αποστολουσ ποιησαι
35 And he said to them: Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do, as touching these men.
ειπεν τε προσ αυτουσ ανδρεσ ισραηλιται προσεχετε εαυτοισ επι τοισ ανθρωποισ τουτοισ τι μελλετε πρασσειν
36 For before these days rose up Theodas, affirming himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all that believed him were scattered, and brought to nothing.
προ γαρ τουτων των ημερων ανεστη θευδασ λεγων ειναι τινα εαυτον ω προσεκληθη αριθμοσ ανδρων ωσει τετρακοσιων οσ ανηρεθη και παντεσ οσοι επειθοντο αυτω διελυθησαν και εγενοντο εισ ουδεν
37 After this man, rose up Judas of Galilee, in the days of the enrolling, and drew away the people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as consented to him, were dispersed.
μετα τουτον ανεστη ιουδασ ο γαλιλαιοσ εν ταισ ημεραισ τησ απογραφησ και απεστησεν λαον ικανον οπισω αυτου κακεινοσ απωλετο και παντεσ οσοι επειθοντο αυτω διεσκορπισθησαν
38 And now, therefore, I say to you, refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this council or this work be of men, it will come to nought;
και τα νυν λεγω υμιν αποστητε απο των ανθρωπων τουτων και εασατε αυτουσ οτι εαν η εξ ανθρωπων η βουλη η το εργον τουτο καταλυθησεται
39 But if it be of God, you cannot overthrow it, lest perhaps you be found even to fight against God. And they consented to him.
ει δε εκ θεου εστιν ου δυνασθε καταλυσαι αυτο μηποτε και θεομαχοι ευρεθητε
40 And calling in the apostles, after they had scourged them, they charged them that they should not speak at all in the name of Jesus; and they dismissed them.
επεισθησαν δε αυτω και προσκαλεσαμενοι τουσ αποστολουσ δειραντεσ παρηγγειλαν μη λαλειν επι τω ονοματι του ιησου και απελυσαν αυτουσ
41 And they indeed went from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were accounted worthy to suffer reproach for the name of Jesus.
οι μεν ουν επορευοντο χαιροντεσ απο προσωπου του συνεδριου οτι υπερ του ονοματοσ του ιησου κατηξιωθησαν ατιμασθηναι
42 And every day they ceased not in the temple, and from house to house, to teach and preach Christ Jesus.
πασαν τε ημεραν εν τω ιερω και κατ οικον ουκ επαυοντο διδασκοντεσ και ευαγγελιζομενοι ιησουν τον χριστον
