Acts 5
1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Saphira his wife, sold a piece of land,
tadA anAniyanAmaka eko jano yasya bhAryyAyA nAma saphIrA sa svAdhikAraM vikrIya
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.
svabhAryyAM jJApayitvA tanmUlyasyaikAMzaM saGgopya sthApayitvA tadanyAMzamAtramAnIya preritAnAM caraNeSu samarpitavAn|
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?
tasmAt pitarokathayat he anAniya bhUme rmUlyaM kiJcit saGgopya sthApayituM pavitrasyAtmanaH sannidhau mRSAvAkyaM kathayituJca zaitAn kutastavAntaHkaraNe pravRttimajanayat?
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.
sA bhUmi ryadA tava hastagatA tadA kiM tava svIyA nAsIt? tarhi svAntaHkaraNe kuta etAdRzI kukalpanA tvayA kRtA? tvaM kevalamanuSyasya nikaTe mRSAvAkyaM nAvAdIH kintvIzvarasya nikaTe'pi|
5 And Ananias hearing these words, fell down, and gave up the ghost. And there came great fear upon all that heard it.
etAM kathAM zrutvaiva so'nAniyo bhUmau patan prANAn atyajat, tadvRttAntaM yAvanto lokA azRNvan teSAM sarvveSAM mahAbhayam ajAyat|
6 And the young men rising up, removed him, and carrying him out, buried him.
tadA yuvalokAstaM vastreNAcchAdya bahi rnItvA zmazAne'sthApayan|
7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
tataH praharaikAnantaraM kiM vRttaM tannAvagatya tasya bhAryyApi tatra samupasthitA|
8 And Peter said to her: Tell me, woman, whether you sold the land for so much? And she said: Yea, for so much.
tataH pitarastAm apRcchat, yuvAbhyAm etAvanmudrAbhyo bhUmi rvikrItA na vA? etatvaM vada; tadA sA pratyavAdIt satyam etAvadbhyo mudrAbhya eva|
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.
tataH pitarokathayat yuvAM kathaM paramezvarasyAtmAnaM parIkSitum ekamantraNAvabhavatAM? pazya ye tava patiM zmazAne sthApitavantaste dvArasya samIpe samupatiSThanti tvAmapi bahirneSyanti|
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.
tataH sApi tasya caraNasannidhau patitvA prANAn atyAkSIt| pazcAt te yuvAno'bhyantaram Agatya tAmapi mRtAM dRSTvA bahi rnItvA tasyAH patyuH pArzve zmazAne sthApitavantaH|
11 And there came great fear upon the whole church, and upon all that heard these things.
tasmAt maNDalyAH sarvve lokA anyalokAzca tAM vArttAM zrutvA sAdhvasaM gatAH|
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.
tataH paraM preritAnAM hastai rlokAnAM madhye bahvAzcaryyANyadbhutAni karmmANyakriyanta; tadA ziSyAH sarvva ekacittIbhUya sulemAno 'linde sambhUyAsan|
13 But of the rest no man durst join himself unto them; but the people magnified them.
teSAM saGghAntargo bhavituM kopi pragalbhatAM nAgamat kintu lokAstAn samAdriyanta|
14 And the multitude of men and women who believed in the Lord, was more increased:
striyaH puruSAzca bahavo lokA vizvAsya prabhuM zaraNamApannAH|
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.
pitarasya gamanAgamanAbhyAM kenApi prakAreNa tasya chAyA kasmiMzcijjane lagiSyatItyAzayA lokA rogiNaH zivikayA khaTvayA cAnIya pathi pathi sthApitavantaH|
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.
caturdiksthanagarebhyo bahavo lokAH sambhUya rogiNo'pavitrabhutagrastAMzca yirUzAlamam Anayan tataH sarvve svasthA akriyanta|
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.
anantaraM mahAyAjakaH sidUkinAM matagrAhiNasteSAM sahacarAzca
18 And they laid hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
mahAkrodhAntvitAH santaH preritAn dhRtvA nIcalokAnAM kArAyAM baddhvA sthApitavantaH|
19 But an angel of the Lord by night opening the doors of the prison, and leading them out, said:
kintu rAtrau paramezvarasya dUtaH kArAyA dvAraM mocayitvA tAn bahirAnIyAkathayat,
20 Go, and standing speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
yUyaM gatvA mandire daNDAyamAnAH santo lokAn pratImAM jIvanadAyikAM sarvvAM kathAM pracArayata|
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.
iti zrutvA te pratyUSe mandira upasthAya upadiSTavantaH| tadA sahacaragaNena sahito mahAyAjaka Agatya mantrigaNam isrAyelvaMzasya sarvvAn rAjasabhAsadaH sabhAsthAn kRtvA kArAyAstAn ApayituM padAtigaNaM preritavAn|
22 But when the ministers came, and opening the prison, found them not there, they returned and told,
tataste gatvA kArAyAM tAn aprApya pratyAgatya iti vArttAm avAdiSuH,
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.
vayaM tatra gatvA nirvvighnaM kArAyA dvAraM ruddhaM rakSakAMzca dvArasya bahirdaNDAyamAnAn adarzAma eva kintu dvAraM mocayitvA tanmadhye kamapi draSTuM na prAptAH|
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.
etAM kathAM zrutvA mahAyAjako mandirasya senApatiH pradhAnayAjakAzca, ita paraM kimaparaM bhaviSyatIti cintayitvA sandigdhacittA abhavan|
25 But one came and told them: Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple standing, and teaching the people.
etasminneva samaye kazcit jana Agatya vArttAmetAm avadat pazyata yUyaM yAn mAnavAn kArAyAm asthApayata te mandire tiSThanto lokAn upadizanti|
26 Then went the officer with the ministers, and brought them without violence; for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned.
tadA mandirasya senApatiH padAtayazca tatra gatvA cellokAH pASANAn nikSipyAsmAn mArayantIti bhiyA vinatyAcAraM tAn Anayan|
27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them,
te mahAsabhAyA madhye tAn asthApayan tataH paraM mahAyAjakastAn apRcchat,
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.
anena nAmnA samupadeSTuM vayaM kiM dRDhaM na nyaSedhAma? tathApi pazyata yUyaM sveSAM tenopadezene yirUzAlamaM paripUrNaM kRtvA tasya janasya raktapAtajanitAparAdham asmAn pratyAnetuM ceSTadhve|
29 But Peter and the apostles answering, said: We ought to obey God, rather than men.
tataH pitaronyapreritAzca pratyavadan mAnuSasyAjJAgrahaNAd IzvarasyAjJAgrahaNam asmAkamucitam|
30 The God of our fathers hath raised up Jesus, whom you put to death, hanging him upon a tree.
yaM yIzuM yUyaM kruze vedhitvAhata tam asmAkaM paitRka Izvara utthApya
31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand, to be Prince and Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.
isrAyelvaMzAnAM manaHparivarttanaM pApakSamAJca karttuM rAjAnaM paritrAtAraJca kRtvA svadakSiNapArzve tasyAnnatim akarot|
32 And we are witnesses of these things and the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to all that obey him.
etasmin vayamapi sAkSiNa Asmahe, tat kevalaM nahi, Izvara AjJAgrAhibhyo yaM pavitram AtmanaM dattavAn sopi sAkSyasti|
33 When they had heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they thought to put them to death.
etadvAkye zrute teSAM hRdayAni viddhAnyabhavan tataste tAn hantuM mantritavantaH|
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.
etasminneva samaye tatsabhAsthAnAM sarvvalokAnAM madhye sukhyAto gamilIyelnAmaka eko jano vyavasthApakaH phirUziloka utthAya preritAn kSaNArthaM sthAnAntaraM gantum Adizya kathitavAn,
35 And he said to them: Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what you intend to do, as touching these men.
he isrAyelvaMzIyAH sarvve yUyam etAn mAnuSAn prati yat karttum udyatAstasmin sAvadhAnA bhavata|
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.
itaH pUrvvaM thUdAnAmaiko jana upasthAya svaM kamapi mahApuruSam avadat, tataH prAyeNa catuHzatalokAstasya matagrAhiNobhavan pazcAt sa hatobhavat tasyAjJAgrAhiNo yAvanto lokAste sarvve virkIrNAH santo 'kRtakAryyA abhavan|
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.
tasmAjjanAt paraM nAmalekhanasamaye gAlIlIyayihUdAnAmaiko jana upasthAya bahUllokAn svamataM grAhItavAn tataH sopi vyanazyat tasyAjJAgrAhiNo yAvanto lokA Asan te sarvve vikIrNA abhavan|
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;
adhunA vadAmi, yUyam etAn manuSyAn prati kimapi na kRtvA kSAntA bhavata, yata eSa saGkalpa etat karmma ca yadi manuSyAdabhavat tarhi viphalaM bhaviSyati|
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.
yadIzvarAdabhavat tarhi yUyaM tasyAnyathA karttuM na zakSyatha, varam IzvararodhakA bhaviSyatha|
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.
tadA tasya mantraNAM svIkRtya te preritAn AhUya prahRtya yIzo rnAmnA kAmapi kathAM kathayituM niSidhya vyasarjan|
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.
kintu tasya nAmArthaM vayaM lajjAbhogasya yogyatvena gaNitA ityatra te sAnandAH santaH sabhAsthAnAM sAkSAd agacchan|
42 And every day they ceased not in the temple, and from house to house, to teach and preach Christ Jesus.
