< Acts 5 >
1 But a certaine man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, solde a possession,
tadā anāniyanāmaka ēkō janō 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 saṅgōpya sthāpayitvā tadanyāṁśamātramānīya prēritānāṁ caraṇēṣu 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 pitarōkathayat hē anāniya bhūmē rmūlyaṁ kiñcit saṅgōpya sthāpayituṁ pavitrasyātmanaḥ sannidhau mr̥ṣāvākyaṁ kathayituñca śaitān kutastavāntaḥkaraṇē pravr̥ttimajanayat?
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 svāntaḥkaraṇē kuta ētādr̥śī kukalpanā tvayā kr̥tā? tvaṁ kēvalamanuṣyasya nikaṭē mr̥ṣāvākyaṁ nāvādīḥ kintvīśvarasya nikaṭē'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.
ētāṁ kathāṁ śrutvaiva sō'nāniyō bhūmau patan prāṇān atyajat, tadvr̥ttāntaṁ yāvantō lōkā aśr̥ṇvan tēṣāṁ sarvvēṣāṁ mahābhayam ajāyat|
6 And the yong men rose vp, and tooke him vp, and caried him out, and buried him.
tadā yuvalōkāstaṁ vastrēṇācchādya bahi rnītvā śmaśānē'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 vr̥ttaṁ 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 apr̥cchat, yuvābhyām ētāvanmudrābhyō bhūmi rvikrītā na vā? ētatvaṁ vada; tadā sā pratyavādīt satyam ētāvadbhyō mudrābhya ēva|
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 pitarōkathayat yuvāṁ kathaṁ paramēśvarasyātmānaṁ parīkṣitum ēkamantraṇāvabhavatāṁ? paśya yē tava patiṁ śmaśānē sthāpitavantastē dvārasya samīpē samupatiṣṭhanti tvāmapi bahirnēṣyanti|
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 tē yuvānō'bhyantaram āgatya tāmapi mr̥tāṁ dr̥ṣṭvā bahi rnītvā tasyāḥ patyuḥ pārśvē śmaśānē sthāpitavantaḥ|
11 And great feare came on all the Church, and on as many as heard these things.
tasmāt maṇḍalyāḥ sarvvē lōkā anyalōkāśca 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 prēritānāṁ hastai rlōkānāṁ madhyē bahvāścaryyāṇyadbhutāni karmmāṇyakriyanta; tadā śiṣyāḥ sarvva ēkacittībhūya sulēmānō 'lindē sambhūyāsan|
13 And of the other durst no man ioyne him selfe to them: neuerthelesse the people magnified them.
tēṣāṁ saṅghāntargō bhavituṁ kōpi pragalbhatāṁ nāgamat kintu lōkāstān samādriyanta|
14 Also the number of them that beleeued in the Lord, both of men and women, grewe more and more)
striyaḥ puruṣāśca bahavō lōkā 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 kēnāpi prakārēṇa tasya chāyā kasmiṁścijjanē lagiṣyatītyāśayā lōkā rōgiṇaḥ 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.
caturdiksthanagarēbhyō bahavō lōkāḥ sambhūya rōgiṇō'pavitrabhutagrastāṁśca yirūśālamam ānayan tataḥ sarvvē 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 matagrāhiṇastēṣāṁ sahacarāśca
18 And laide hands on the Apostles, and put them in the common prison.
mahākrōdhāntvitāḥ santaḥ prēritān dhr̥tvā nīcalōkānāṁ kārāyāṁ baddhvā sthāpitavantaḥ|
19 But the Angel of the Lord, by night opened the prison doores, and brought them forth, and sayd,
kintu rātrau paramēśvarasya dūtaḥ kārāyā dvāraṁ mōcayitvā tān bahirānīyākathayat,
20 Go your way, and stand in the Temple, and speake to the people, all the wordes of this life.
yūyaṁ gatvā mandirē daṇḍāyamānāḥ santō lōkān 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 tē pratyūṣē mandira upasthāya upadiṣṭavantaḥ| tadā sahacaragaṇēna sahitō mahāyājaka āgatya mantrigaṇam isrāyēlvaṁśasya sarvvān rājasabhāsadaḥ sabhāsthān kr̥tvā kārāyāstān āpayituṁ padātigaṇaṁ prēritavān|
22 But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and tolde it,
tatastē 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 ēva kintu dvāraṁ mōcayitvā tanmadhyē 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.
ētāṁ kathāṁ śrutvā mahāyājakō mandirasya sēnāpatiḥ 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.
ētasminnēva samayē kaścit jana āgatya vārttāmētām avadat paśyata yūyaṁ yān mānavān kārāyām asthāpayata tē mandirē tiṣṭhantō lōkān 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 sēnāpatiḥ padātayaśca tatra gatvā cēllōkāḥ 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,
tē mahāsabhāyā madhyē tān asthāpayan tataḥ paraṁ mahāyājakastān apr̥cchat,
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.
anēna nāmnā samupadēṣṭuṁ vayaṁ kiṁ dr̥ḍhaṁ na nyaṣēdhāma? tathāpi paśyata yūyaṁ svēṣāṁ tēnōpadēśēnē yirūśālamaṁ paripūrṇaṁ kr̥tvā tasya janasya raktapātajanitāparādham asmān pratyānētuṁ cēṣṭadhvē|
29 Then Peter and the Apostles answered, and sayd, We ought rather to obey God then men.
tataḥ pitarōnyaprēritāśca 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 kruśē vēdhitvāhata tam asmākaṁ paitr̥ka 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.
isrāyēlvaṁśānāṁ manaḥparivarttanaṁ pāpakṣamāñca karttuṁ rājānaṁ paritrātārañca kr̥tvā svadakṣiṇapārśvē tasyānnatim akarōt|
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.
ētasmin vayamapi sākṣiṇa āsmahē, tat kēvalaṁ nahi, īśvara ājñāgrāhibhyō yaṁ pavitram ātmanaṁ dattavān sōpi sākṣyasti|
33 Now when they heard it, they brast for anger, and consulted to slay them.
ētadvākyē śrutē tēṣāṁ hr̥dayāni viddhānyabhavan tatastē 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,
ētasminnēva samayē tatsabhāsthānāṁ sarvvalōkānāṁ madhyē sukhyātō gamilīyēlnāmaka ēkō janō vyavasthāpakaḥ phirūśilōka utthāya prēritān 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.
hē isrāyēlvaṁśīyāḥ sarvvē yūyam ētān 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 thūdānāmaikō jana upasthāya svaṁ kamapi mahāpuruṣam avadat, tataḥ prāyēṇa catuḥśatalōkāstasya matagrāhiṇōbhavan paścāt sa hatōbhavat tasyājñāgrāhiṇō yāvantō lōkāstē sarvvē virkīrṇāḥ santō 'kr̥takāryyā 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 nāmalēkhanasamayē gālīlīyayihūdānāmaikō jana upasthāya bahūllōkān svamataṁ grāhītavān tataḥ sōpi vyanaśyat tasyājñāgrāhiṇō yāvantō lōkā āsan tē sarvvē 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 ētān manuṣyān prati kimapi na kr̥tvā kṣāntā bhavata, yata ēṣa saṅkalpa ētat 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 īśvararōdhakā 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 svīkr̥tya tē prēritān āhūya prahr̥tya yīśō 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 lajjābhōgasya yōgyatvēna gaṇitā ityatra tē 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 mandirē gr̥hē gr̥hē cāviśrāmam upadiśya yīśukhrīṣṭasya susaṁvādaṁ pracāritavantaḥ|
