< Acts 5 >
1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
tadā anāniyanāmaka eko jano yasya bhāryyāyā nāma saphīrā sa svādhikāraṁ vikrīya
2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
svabhāryyāṁ jñāpayitvā tanmūlyasyaikāṁśaṁ saṅgopya sthāpayitvā tadanyāṁśamātramānīya preritānāṁ caraṇeṣu samarpitavān|
3 But Peter said, Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) and to keep back part of the price of the land?
tasmāt pitarokathayat he anāniya bhūme rmūlyaṁ kiñcit saṅgopya sthāpayituṁ pavitrasyātmanaḥ sannidhau mṛṣāvākyaṁ kathayituñca śaitān kutastavāntaḥkaraṇe pravṛttimajanayat?
4 While it remained, was it not your own? and after it was sold, was it not in your own power? why have you conceived this thing in your heart? you have not lied unto men, but unto 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 And Ananias hearing these words (logos) fell down, and gave up the spirit: and great fear 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 young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
tadā yuvalokāstaṁ vastreṇācchādya bahi rnītvā śmaśāne'sthāpayan|
7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
tataḥ praharaikānantaraṁ kiṁ vṛttaṁ tannāvagatya tasya bhāryyāpi tatra samupasthitā|
8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether all of you sold the land for so much? And she said, 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 said unto her, How is it that all of you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit (pneuma) of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried your husband are at the door, and shall carry you out.
tataḥ pitarokathayat yuvāṁ kathaṁ parameśvarasyātmānaṁ parīkṣitum ekamantraṇāvabhavatāṁ? paśya ye tava patiṁ śmaśāne sthāpitavantaste dvārasya samīpe samupatiṣṭhanti tvāmapi bahirneṣyanti|
10 Then fell she down immediately at his feet, and yielded up the spirit: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, 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 fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.
tasmāt maṇḍalyāḥ sarvve lokā anyalokāśca tāṁ vārttāṁ śrutvā sādhvasaṁ gatāḥ|
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.
tataḥ paraṁ preritānāṁ hastai rlokānāṁ madhye bahvāścaryyāṇyadbhutāni karmmāṇyakriyanta; tadā śiṣyāḥ sarvva ekacittībhūya sulemāno 'linde sambhūyāsan|
13 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.
teṣāṁ saṅghāntargo bhavituṁ kopi pragalbhatāṁ nāgamat kintu lokāstān samādriyanta|
14 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)
striyaḥ puruṣāśca bahavo lokā viśvāsya prabhuṁ śaraṇamāpannāḥ|
15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow 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 unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: (pneuma) and they were healed every one.
caturdiksthanagarebhyo bahavo lokāḥ sambhūya rogiṇo'pavitrabhutagrastāṁśca yirūśālamam ānayan tataḥ sarvve svasthā akriyanta|
17 Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees, ) and were filled with indignation,
anantaraṁ mahāyājakaḥ sidūkināṁ matagrāhiṇasteṣāṁ sahacarāśca
18 And laid their 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 doors, and brought them forth, and said,
kintu rātrau parameśvarasya dūtaḥ kārāyā dvāraṁ mocayitvā tān bahirānīyākathayat,
20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words (rhema) of this life.
yūyaṁ gatvā mandire daṇḍāyamānāḥ santo lokān pratīmāṁ jīvanadāyikāṁ sarvvāṁ kathāṁ pracārayata|
21 And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them 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 told,
tataste gatvā kārāyāṁ tān aprāpya pratyāgatya iti vārttām avādiṣuḥ,
23 Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: 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 Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, (logos) they doubted of them unto which this would grow.
etāṁ kathāṁ śrutvā mahāyājako mandirasya senāpatiḥ pradhānayājakāśca, ita paraṁ kimaparaṁ bhaviṣyatīti cintayitvā sandigdhacittā abhavan|
25 Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom all of you put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
etasminneva samaye kaścit jana āgatya vārttāmetām avadat paśyata yūyaṁ yān mānavān kārāyām asthāpayata te mandire tiṣṭhanto lokān upadiśanti|
26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been 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 council: and the high priest asked them,
te mahāsabhāyā madhye tān asthāpayan tataḥ paraṁ mahāyājakastān apṛcchat,
28 Saying, Did not we strictly command you that all of you should not teach in this name? and, behold, all of you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.
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 other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
tataḥ pitaronyapreritāśca pratyavadan mānuṣasyājñāgrahaṇād īśvarasyājñāgrahaṇam asmākamucitam|
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom all of you slew and hanged on a tree.
yaṁ yīśuṁ yūyaṁ kruśe vedhitvāhata tam asmākaṁ paitṛka īśvara utthāpya
31 Him has God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, in order to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
isrāyelvaṁśānāṁ manaḥparivarttanaṁ pāpakṣamāñca karttuṁ rājānaṁ paritrātārañca kṛtvā svadakṣiṇapārśve tasyānnatim akarot|
32 And we are his witnesses of these things; (rhema) and so is also the Holy Spirit, (pneuma) whom God has given to them that obey him.
etasmin vayamapi sākṣiṇa āsmahe, tat kevalaṁ nahi, īśvara ājñāgrāhibhyo yaṁ pavitram ātmanaṁ dattavān sopi sākṣyasti|
33 When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.
etadvākye śrute teṣāṁ hṛdayāni viddhānyabhavan tataste tān hantuṁ mantritavantaḥ|
34 Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;
etasminneva samaye tatsabhāsthānāṁ sarvvalokānāṁ madhye sukhyāto gamilīyelnāmaka eko jano vyavasthāpakaḥ phirūśiloka utthāya preritān kṣaṇārthaṁ sthānāntaraṁ gantum ādiśya kathitavān,
35 And said unto them, All of you men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what all of you intend to do as concerning these men.
he isrāyelvaṁśīyāḥ sarvve yūyam etān mānuṣān prati yat karttum udyatāstasmin sāvadhānā bhavata|
36 For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nothing.
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 rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
tasmājjanāt paraṁ nāmalekhanasamaye gālīlīyayihūdānāmaiko jana upasthāya bahūllokān svamataṁ grāhītavān tataḥ sopi vyanaśyat tasyājñāgrāhiṇo yāvanto lokā āsan te sarvve vikīrṇā abhavan|
38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nothing:
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, all of you cannot overthrow it; lest lest by any means all of you be found even to fight against God.
yadīśvarādabhavat tarhi yūyaṁ tasyānyathā karttuṁ na śakṣyatha, varam īśvararodhakā bhaviṣyatha|
40 And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
tadā tasya mantraṇāṁ svīkṛtya te preritān āhūya prahṛtya yīśo rnāmnā kāmapi kathāṁ kathayituṁ niṣidhya vyasarjan|
41 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
kintu tasya nāmārthaṁ vayaṁ lajjābhogasya yogyatvena gaṇitā ityatra te sānandāḥ santaḥ sabhāsthānāṁ sākṣād agacchan|
42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
tataḥ paraṁ pratidinaṁ mandire gṛhe gṛhe cāviśrāmam upadiśya yīśukhrīṣṭasya susaṁvādaṁ pracāritavantaḥ|
