Acts 5
1 But a certaine man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, solde a possession,
tadā anāniyanāmaka eko jano yasya bhāryyāyā nāma saphīrā sa svādhikāraṁ vikrīya
2 And kept away part of the price, his wife also being of counsell, and brought a certaine part, and layde it downe at the Apostles feete.
svabhāryyāṁ jñāpayitvā tanmūlyasyaikāṁśaṁ saṅgopya sthāpayitvā tadanyāṁśamātramānīya preritānāṁ caraṇeṣu samarpitavān|
3 Then saide Peter, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart, that thou shouldest lye vnto the holy Ghost, and keepe away part of the price of this possession?
tasmāt pitarokathayat he anāniya bhūme rmūlyaṁ kiñcit saṅgopya sthāpayituṁ pavitrasyātmanaḥ sannidhau mṛṣāvākyaṁ kathayituñca śaitān kutastavāntaḥkaraṇe pravṛttimajanayat?
4 Whiles it remained, appertained it not vnto thee? and after it was solde, was it not in thine owne power? howe is it that thou hast conceiued this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lyed vnto men, but vnto God.
sā bhūmi ryadā tava hastagatā tadā kiṁ tava svīyā nāsīt? tarhi svāntaḥkaraṇe kuta etādṛśī kukalpanā tvayā kṛtā? tvaṁ kevalamanuṣyasya nikaṭe mṛṣāvākyaṁ nāvādīḥ kintvīśvarasya nikaṭe'pi|
5 Now when Ananias heard these wordes, he fell downe, and gaue vp the ghost. Then great feare came on all them that heard these things.
etāṁ kathāṁ śrutvaiva so'nāniyo bhūmau patan prāṇān atyajat, tadvṛttāntaṁ yāvanto lokā aśṛṇvan teṣāṁ sarvveṣāṁ mahābhayam ajāyat|
6 And the yong men rose vp, and tooke him vp, and caried him out, and buried him.
tadā yuvalokāstaṁ vastreṇācchādya bahi rnītvā śmaśāne'sthāpayan|
7 And it came to passe about the space of three houres after, that his wife came in, ignorant of that which was done.
tataḥ praharaikānantaraṁ kiṁ vṛttaṁ tannāvagatya tasya bhāryyāpi tatra samupasthitā|
8 And Peter sayd vnto her, Tell me, solde ye the land for so much? And she sayd, Yea, for so much.
tataḥ pitarastām apṛcchat, yuvābhyām etāvanmudrābhyo bhūmi rvikrītā na vā? etatvaṁ vada; tadā sā pratyavādīt satyam etāvadbhyo mudrābhya eva|
9 Then Peter sayde vnto her, Why haue ye agreed together, to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? beholde, the feete of them which haue buried thine husband, are at the doore, and shall carie thee out.
tataḥ pitarokathayat yuvāṁ kathaṁ parameśvarasyātmānaṁ parīkṣitum ekamantraṇāvabhavatāṁ? paśya ye tava patiṁ śmaśāne sthāpitavantaste dvārasya samīpe samupatiṣṭhanti tvāmapi bahirneṣyanti|
10 Then she fell downe straightway at his feete, and yeelded vp the ghost: and the yong men came in, and found her dead, and caried her out, and buried her by her husband.
tataḥ sāpi tasya caraṇasannidhau patitvā prāṇān atyākṣīt| paścāt te yuvāno'bhyantaram āgatya tāmapi mṛtāṁ dṛṣṭvā bahi rnītvā tasyāḥ patyuḥ pārśve śmaśāne sthāpitavantaḥ|
11 And great feare came on all the Church, and on as many as heard these things.
tasmāt maṇḍalyāḥ sarvve lokā anyalokāśca tāṁ vārttāṁ śrutvā sādhvasaṁ gatāḥ|
12 Thus by the hands of the Apostles were many signes and wonders shewed among the people (and they were all with one accorde in Salomons porche.
tataḥ paraṁ preritānāṁ hastai rlokānāṁ madhye bahvāścaryyāṇyadbhutāni karmmāṇyakriyanta; tadā śiṣyāḥ sarvva ekacittībhūya sulemāno 'linde sambhūyāsan|
13 And of the other durst no man ioyne him selfe to them: neuerthelesse the people magnified them.
teṣāṁ saṅghāntargo bhavituṁ kopi pragalbhatāṁ nāgamat kintu lokāstān samādriyanta|
14 Also the number of them that beleeued in the Lord, both of men and women, grewe more and more)
striyaḥ puruṣāśca bahavo lokā viśvāsya prabhuṁ śaraṇamāpannāḥ|
15 In so much that they brought the sicke into the streetes, and layd them on beds and couches, that at the least way the shadowe of Peter, when he came by, might shadow some of them.
pitarasya gamanāgamanābhyāṁ kenāpi prakāreṇa tasya chāyā kasmiṁścijjane lagiṣyatītyāśayā lokā rogiṇaḥ śivikayā khaṭvayā cānīya pathi pathi sthāpitavantaḥ|
16 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about vnto Hierusalem, bringing sicke folkes, and them which were vexed with vncleane spirits, who were all healed.
caturdiksthanagarebhyo bahavo lokāḥ sambhūya rogiṇo'pavitrabhutagrastāṁśca yirūśālamam ānayan tataḥ sarvve svasthā akriyanta|
17 Then the chiefe Priest rose vp, and all they that were with him (which was the sect of the Sadduces) and were full of indignation,
anantaraṁ mahāyājakaḥ sidūkināṁ matagrāhiṇasteṣāṁ sahacarāśca
18 And laide hands on the Apostles, and put them in the common prison.
mahākrodhāntvitāḥ santaḥ preritān dhṛtvā nīcalokānāṁ kārāyāṁ baddhvā sthāpitavantaḥ|
19 But the Angel of the Lord, by night opened the prison doores, and brought them forth, and sayd,
kintu rātrau parameśvarasya dūtaḥ kārāyā dvāraṁ mocayitvā tān bahirānīyākathayat,
20 Go your way, and stand in the Temple, and speake to the people, all the wordes of this life.
yūyaṁ gatvā mandire daṇḍāyamānāḥ santo lokān pratīmāṁ jīvanadāyikāṁ sarvvāṁ kathāṁ pracārayata|
21 So when they heard it, they entred into the Temple early in the morning, and taught. And the chiefe Priest came, and they that were with him, and called the Councill together, and all the Elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison, to cause them to be brought.
iti śrutvā te pratyūṣe mandira upasthāya upadiṣṭavantaḥ| tadā sahacaragaṇena sahito mahāyājaka āgatya mantrigaṇam isrāyelvaṁśasya sarvvān rājasabhāsadaḥ sabhāsthān kṛtvā kārāyāstān āpayituṁ padātigaṇaṁ preritavān|
22 But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and tolde it,
tataste gatvā kārāyāṁ tān aprāpya pratyāgatya iti vārttām avādiṣuḥ,
23 Saying, Certainely we founde the prison shut as sure as was possible, and the keepers standing without, before the doores: but when we had opened, we found no man within.
vayaṁ tatra gatvā nirvvighnaṁ kārāyā dvāraṁ ruddhaṁ rakṣakāṁśca dvārasya bahirdaṇḍāyamānān adarśāma eva kintu dvāraṁ mocayitvā tanmadhye kamapi draṣṭuṁ na prāptāḥ|
24 Then when the chiefe Priest, and the captaine of the Temple, and the hie Priestes heard these things, they doubted of them, whereunto this would growe.
etāṁ kathāṁ śrutvā mahāyājako mandirasya senāpatiḥ pradhānayājakāśca, ita paraṁ kimaparaṁ bhaviṣyatīti cintayitvā sandigdhacittā abhavan|
25 Then came one and shewed them, saying, Beholde, the men that ye put in prison, are standing in the Temple, and teach the people.
etasminneva samaye kaścit jana āgatya vārttāmetām avadat paśyata yūyaṁ yān mānavān kārāyām asthāpayata te mandire tiṣṭhanto lokān upadiśanti|
26 Then went the captaine with the officers, and brought them without violence (for they feared the people, lest they should haue bene stoned)
tadā mandirasya senāpatiḥ padātayaśca tatra gatvā cellokāḥ pāṣāṇān nikṣipyāsmān mārayantīti bhiyā vinatyācāraṁ tān ānayan|
27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the Councill, and the chiefe Priest asked them,
te mahāsabhāyā madhye tān asthāpayan tataḥ paraṁ mahāyājakastān apṛcchat,
28 Saying, Did not we straightly commaund you, that ye should not teach in this Name? and behold, ye haue filled Hierusale with your doctrine, and ye would bring this mans blood vpon vs.
anena nāmnā samupadeṣṭuṁ vayaṁ kiṁ dṛḍhaṁ na nyaṣedhāma? tathāpi paśyata yūyaṁ sveṣāṁ tenopadeśene yirūśālamaṁ paripūrṇaṁ kṛtvā tasya janasya raktapātajanitāparādham asmān pratyānetuṁ ceṣṭadhve|
29 Then Peter and the Apostles answered, and sayd, We ought rather to obey God then men.
tataḥ pitaronyapreritāśca pratyavadan mānuṣasyājñāgrahaṇād īśvarasyājñāgrahaṇam asmākamucitam|
30 The God of our fathers hath raised vp Iesus, whom ye slewe, and hanged on a tree.
yaṁ yīśuṁ yūyaṁ kruśe vedhitvāhata tam asmākaṁ paitṛka īśvara utthāpya
31 Him hath God lift vp with his right hand, to be a Prince and a Sauiour, to giue repentance to Israel, and forgiuenes of sinnes.
isrāyelvaṁśānāṁ manaḥparivarttanaṁ pāpakṣamāñca karttuṁ rājānaṁ paritrātārañca kṛtvā svadakṣiṇapārśve tasyānnatim akarot|
32 And we are his witnesses concerning these things which we say: yea, and the holy Ghost, whome God hath giuen to them that obey him.
etasmin vayamapi sākṣiṇa āsmahe, tat kevalaṁ nahi, īśvara ājñāgrāhibhyo yaṁ pavitram ātmanaṁ dattavān sopi sākṣyasti|
33 Now when they heard it, they brast for anger, and consulted to slay them.
etadvākye śrute teṣāṁ hṛdayāni viddhānyabhavan tataste tān hantuṁ mantritavantaḥ|
34 Then stoode there vp in the Councill a certaine Pharise named Gamaliel, a doctour of the Lawe, honoured of all the people, and commanded to put the Apostles forth a litle space,
etasminneva samaye tatsabhāsthānāṁ sarvvalokānāṁ madhye sukhyāto gamilīyelnāmaka eko jano vyavasthāpakaḥ phirūśiloka utthāya preritān kṣaṇārthaṁ sthānāntaraṁ gantum ādiśya kathitavān,
35 And sayd vnto them, Men of Israel, take heede to your selues, what ye intende to doe touching these men.
he isrāyelvaṁśīyāḥ sarvve yūyam etān mānuṣān prati yat karttum udyatāstasmin sāvadhānā bhavata|
36 For before these times, rose vp Theudas boasting himselfe, to whom resorted a number of men, about a foure hundreth, who was slaine: and they all which obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.
itaḥ pūrvvaṁ thūdānāmaiko jana upasthāya svaṁ kamapi mahāpuruṣam avadat, tataḥ prāyeṇa catuḥśatalokāstasya matagrāhiṇobhavan paścāt sa hatobhavat tasyājñāgrāhiṇo yāvanto lokāste sarvve virkīrṇāḥ santo 'kṛtakāryyā abhavan|
37 After this man, arose vp Iudas of Galile, in the dayes of the tribute, and drewe away much people after him: hee also perished, and all that obeyed him, were scattered abroad.
tasmājjanāt paraṁ nāmalekhanasamaye gālīlīyayihūdānāmaiko jana upasthāya bahūllokān svamataṁ grāhītavān tataḥ sopi vyanaśyat tasyājñāgrāhiṇo yāvanto lokā āsan te sarvve vikīrṇā abhavan|
38 And nowe I say vnto you, Refraine your selues from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsell, or this worke be of men, it will come to nought:
adhunā vadāmi, yūyam etān manuṣyān prati kimapi na kṛtvā kṣāntā bhavata, yata eṣa saṅkalpa etat karmma ca yadi manuṣyādabhavat tarhi viphalaṁ bhaviṣyati|
39 But if it be of God, ye can not destroy it, lest ye be found euen fighters against God.
yadīśvarādabhavat tarhi yūyaṁ tasyānyathā karttuṁ na śakṣyatha, varam īśvararodhakā bhaviṣyatha|
40 And to him they agreed, and called the Apostles: and when they had beaten them, they commanded that they should not speake in the Name of Iesus, and let them goe.
tadā tasya mantraṇāṁ svīkṛtya te preritān āhūya prahṛtya yīśo rnāmnā kāmapi kathāṁ kathayituṁ niṣidhya vyasarjan|
41 So they departed from the Councill, reioycing, that they were counted worthy to suffer rebuke for his Name.
kintu tasya nāmārthaṁ vayaṁ lajjābhogasya yogyatvena gaṇitā ityatra te sānandāḥ santaḥ sabhāsthānāṁ sākṣād agacchan|
42 And dayly in the Temple, and from house to house they ceased not to teach, and preach Iesus Christ.
tataḥ paraṁ pratidinaṁ mandire gṛhe gṛhe cāviśrāmam upadiśya yīśukhrīṣṭasya susaṁvādaṁ pracāritavantaḥ|
