Acts 5
1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sappirah, 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 aware of it, and brought a certain part, and put 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, 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 you kept it, did not it remain your own? After it was sold, was not it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to people, but to 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 Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard it.
etāṁ kathāṁ śrutvaiva so'nāniyo bhūmau patan prāṇān atyajat, tadvṛttāntaṁ yāvanto lokā aśṛṇvan teṣāṁ sarvveṣāṁ mahābhayam ajāyat|
6 The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.
tadā yuvalokāstaṁ vastreṇācchādya bahi rnītvā śmaśāne'sthāpayan|
7 About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
tataḥ praharaikānantaraṁ kiṁ vṛttaṁ tannāvagatya tasya bhāryyāpi tatra samupasthitā|
8 Peter answered her, "Tell me whether you sold the land for so much." She said, "Yes, for so much."
tataḥ pitarastām apṛcchat, yuvābhyām etāvanmudrābhyo bhūmi rvikrītā na vā? etatvaṁ vada; tadā sā pratyavādīt satyam etāvadbhyo mudrābhya eva|
9 But Peter asked her, "How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out."
tataḥ pitarokathayat yuvāṁ kathaṁ parameśvarasyātmānaṁ parīkṣitum ekamantraṇāvabhavatāṁ? paśya ye tava patiṁ śmaśāne sthāpitavantaste dvārasya samīpe samupatiṣṭhanti tvāmapi bahirneṣyanti|
10 She fell down immediately at his feet, and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried 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 Great fear came on the whole church, and on all who heard these things.
tasmāt maṇḍalyāḥ sarvve lokā anyalokāśca tāṁ vārttāṁ śrutvā sādhvasaṁ gatāḥ|
12 By the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. 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 None of the rest dared to join them, however the people honored them.
teṣāṁ saṅghāntargo bhavituṁ kopi pragalbhatāṁ nāgamat kintu lokāstān samādriyanta|
14 More believers were added to the Lord, crowds of both men and women.
striyaḥ puruṣāśca bahavo lokā viśvāsya prabhuṁ śaraṇamāpannāḥ|
15 They even carried out the sick into the streets, and put them on cots and mats, so that as Peter came by at the least his shadow would fall on some of them.
pitarasya gamanāgamanābhyāṁ kenāpi prakāreṇa tasya chāyā kasmiṁścijjane lagiṣyatītyāśayā lokā rogiṇaḥ śivikayā khaṭvayā cānīya pathi pathi sthāpitavantaḥ|
16 Crowds also came together from the cities around Jerusalem, bringing sick people, and those who were tormented by unclean spirits: and they were all healed.
caturdiksthanagarebhyo bahavo lokāḥ sambhūya rogiṇo'pavitrabhutagrastāṁśca yirūśālamam ānayan tataḥ sarvve svasthā akriyanta|
17 But the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy,
anantaraṁ mahāyājakaḥ sidūkināṁ matagrāhiṇasteṣāṁ sahacarāśca
18 and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in public custody.
mahākrodhāntvitāḥ santaḥ preritān dhṛtvā nīcalokānāṁ kārāyāṁ baddhvā sthāpitavantaḥ|
19 But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out, 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 of this life."
yūyaṁ gatvā mandire daṇḍāyamānāḥ santo lokān pratīmāṁ jīvanadāyikāṁ sarvvāṁ kathāṁ pracārayata|
21 When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and those who were with him, and called the council together, and all the elders 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 the officers who came did not find them in the prison. They returned and reported,
tataste gatvā kārāyāṁ tān aprāpya pratyāgatya iti vārttām avādiṣuḥ,
23 "We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside."
vayaṁ tatra gatvā nirvvighnaṁ kārāyā dvāraṁ ruddhaṁ rakṣakāṁśca dvārasya bahirdaṇḍāyamānān adarśāma eva kintu dvāraṁ mocayitvā tanmadhye kamapi draṣṭuṁ na prāptāḥ|
24 Now when the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were very perplexed about them and what might become of this.
etāṁ kathāṁ śrutvā mahāyājako mandirasya senāpatiḥ pradhānayājakāśca, ita paraṁ kimaparaṁ bhaviṣyatīti cintayitvā sandigdhacittā abhavan|
25 One came and told them, "Look, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people."
etasminneva samaye kaścit jana āgatya vārttāmetām avadat paśyata yūyaṁ yān mānavān kārāyām asthāpayata te mandire tiṣṭhanto lokān upadiśanti|
26 Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.
tadā mandirasya senāpatiḥ padātayaśca tatra gatvā cellokāḥ pāṣāṇān nikṣipyāsmān mārayantīti bhiyā vinatyācāraṁ tān ānayan|
27 When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them,
te mahāsabhāyā madhye tān asthāpayan tataḥ paraṁ mahāyājakastān apṛcchat,
28 saying, "Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man's blood on us."
anena nāmnā samupadeṣṭuṁ vayaṁ kiṁ dṛḍhaṁ na nyaṣedhāma? tathāpi paśyata yūyaṁ sveṣāṁ tenopadeśene yirūśālamaṁ paripūrṇaṁ kṛtvā tasya janasya raktapātajanitāparādham asmān pratyānetuṁ ceṣṭadhve|
29 But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than people.
tataḥ pitaronyapreritāśca pratyavadan mānuṣasyājñāgrahaṇād īśvarasyājñāgrahaṇam asmākamucitam|
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.
yaṁ yīśuṁ yūyaṁ kruśe vedhitvāhata tam asmākaṁ paitṛka īśvara utthāpya
31 God exalted him with his right hand to be a Leader and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
isrāyelvaṁśānāṁ manaḥparivarttanaṁ pāpakṣamāñca karttuṁ rājānaṁ paritrātārañca kṛtvā svadakṣiṇapārśve tasyānnatim akarot|
32 We are witnesses of these things; and so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him."
etasmin vayamapi sākṣiṇa āsmahe, tat kevalaṁ nahi, īśvara ājñāgrāhibhyo yaṁ pavitram ātmanaṁ dattavān sopi sākṣyasti|
33 But they, when they heard this, were furious, and wanted to kill them.
etadvākye śrute teṣāṁ hṛdayāni viddhānyabhavan tataste tān hantuṁ mantritavantaḥ|
34 But one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law, honored by all the people, and commanded to put the men out for a little while.
etasminneva samaye tatsabhāsthānāṁ sarvvalokānāṁ madhye sukhyāto gamilīyelnāmaka eko jano vyavasthāpakaḥ phirūśiloka utthāya preritān kṣaṇārthaṁ sthānāntaraṁ gantum ādiśya kathitavān,
35 He said to them, "You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do.
he isrāyelvaṁśīyāḥ sarvve yūyam etān mānuṣān prati yat karttum udyatāstasmin sāvadhānā bhavata|
36 For before these days Todah rose up, making himself out 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 dispersed, and came 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, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the enrollment, and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all, as many as 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 Now I tell you, withdraw from these men, and leave them alone. For if this counsel or this work is of human origin, it will be overthrown.
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 is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them, and you would be found even to be fighting against God."
yadīśvarādabhavat tarhi yūyaṁ tasyānyathā karttuṁ na śakṣyatha, varam īśvararodhakā bhaviṣyatha|
40 They agreed with him. Summoning the apostles, they beat them and commanded them not to 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 They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the Name.
kintu tasya nāmārthaṁ vayaṁ lajjābhogasya yogyatvena gaṇitā ityatra te sānandāḥ santaḥ sabhāsthānāṁ sākṣād agacchan|
42 Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming that Jesus is the Messiah.
tataḥ paraṁ pratidinaṁ mandire gṛhe gṛhe cāviśrāmam upadiśya yīśukhrīṣṭasya susaṁvādaṁ pracāritavantaḥ|
