< Acts 5 >

1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
ܘܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܕܫܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܚܢܢܝܐ ܥܡ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܕܫܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܫܦܝܪܐ ܙܒܢ ܗܘܐ ܩܪܝܬܗ
2 and kept back part of the price, his wife also having knowledge of it; and brought a certain part, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
ܘܫܩܠ ܡܢ ܛܝܡܝܗ ܘܛܫܝ ܟܕ ܪܓܝܫܐ ܗܘܬ ܒܗ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܘܐܝܬܝ ܡܢܗ ܡܢ ܟܤܦܐ ܘܤܡ ܩܕܡ ܪܓܠܝܗܘܢ ܕܫܠܝܚܐ
3 But Peter said, Ananias, why did Satan fill thy heart that thou shouldst lie to the Holy Spirit, and keep back part of the price of the land?
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܚܢܢܝܐ ܡܢܘ ܕܗܟܢܐ ܡܠܐ ܤܛܢܐ ܠܒܟ ܕܬܕܓܠ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܘܬܛܫܐ ܡܢ ܟܤܦܐ ܕܕܡܝܗ ܕܩܪܝܬܐ
4 While it remained, was it not thine own? And after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? Why didst thou conceive this thing in thy heart? Thou didst not lie to men, but to God.
ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܠܟ ܗܘܬ ܥܕܠܐ ܬܙܕܒܢ ܘܡܢ ܕܐܙܕܒܢܬ ܬܘܒ ܐܢܬ ܫܠܝܛ ܗܘܝܬ ܥܠ ܕܡܝܗ ܠܡܢܐ ܤܡܬ ܒܠܒܟ ܕܬܥܒܕ ܨܒܘܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܠܐ ܕܓܠܬ ܒܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܐܠܐ ܒܐܠܗܐ
5 And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down, and expired. And great fear came on all that heard of it.
ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥ ܚܢܢܝܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܠܐ ܢܦܠ ܘܡܝܬ ܘܗܘܬ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܒܟܠܗܘܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܫܡܥܘ
6 And the young men arose, and wrapt him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
ܘܩܡܘ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܠܝܡܝܢ ܒܗܘܢ ܘܟܢܫܘܗܝ ܘܐܦܩܘ ܩܒܪܘܗܝ
7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
ܘܡܢ ܒܬܪ ܕܗܘܝ ܬܠܬ ܫܥܝܢ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܬܗ ܥܠܬ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܐ ܗܘܬ ܡܢܐ ܗܘܐ
8 Peter said to her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yes, for so much.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܐܢ ܒܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܝܐ ܙܒܢܬܘܢ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪܬ ܐܝܢ ܒܗܠܝܢ ܕܡܝܐ
9 And Peter said to her, Why is it that ye agreed together to try the Spirit of the Lord? Lo! the feet of those who have buried thy husband are at the door, and they will carry thee out.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܫܬܘܝܬܘܢ ܠܡܢܤܝܘ ܪܘܚܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܗܐ ܪܓܠܝܗܘܢ ܕܩܒܘܪܘܗܝ ܕܒܥܠܟܝ ܒܬܪܥܐ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܢܦܩܘܢܟܝ
10 And she fell down immediately at his feet, and expired; and the young men, when they came in, found her dead, and carried her out, and buried her by her husband.
ܘܒܗ ܒܫܥܬܐ ܢܦܠܬ ܩܕܡ ܪܓܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܡܝܬܬ ܘܥܠܘ ܥܠܝܡܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܘܐܫܟܚܘܗ ܟܕ ܡܝܬܐ ܘܩܦܤܘ ܐܘܒܠܘ ܩܒܪܘܗ ܥܠ ܓܢܒ ܒܥܠܗ
11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon all that heard of these things.
ܘܗܘܬ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܒܟܠܗ ܥܕܬܐ ܘܒܟܠܗܘܢ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܫܡܥܘ
12 And many signs and wonders were wrought among the people by the hands of the apostles; and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
ܘܗܘܝܢ ܗܘܝ ܒܝܕ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܘܓܒܪܘܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܒܥܡܐ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܟܢܝܫܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܟܚܕܐ ܒܐܤܛܘܐ ܕܫܠܝܡܘܢ
13 But of the rest no one dared to join himself to them. But the people highly honored them;
ܘܡܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܡܡܪܚ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܬܩܪܒ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܐܠܐ ܡܘܪܒ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܐ
14 and more and more were believers added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women;
ܘܝܬܝܪ ܡܬܬܘܤܦܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܡܪܝܐ ܟܢܫܐ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܘܕܢܫܐ
15 so that in the streets they brought out the sick, and laid them on beds and couches, in order that at least the shadow of Peter, as he passed, might overshadow some of them.
ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܒܫܘܩܐ ܡܦܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܟܪܝܗܐ ܟܕ ܪܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܥܪܤܬܐ ܕܐܡܬܝ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܐܬܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܐܦܢ ܛܠܢܝܬܗ ܬܓܢ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ
16 The multitude also belonging to the cities around came together to Jerusalem bringing the sick, and those plagued by unclean spirits; and they were all healed.
ܐܬܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܐܚܪܢܝܬܐ ܕܚܕܪܝ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܟܕ ܡܝܬܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܟܪܝܗܐ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܗܘܝܢ ܗܘܝ ܠܗܘܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܛܢܦܬܐ ܘܡܬܚܠܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ
17 But the high-priest and all that were with him, which is the sect of the Sadducees, rose up and were filled with indignation,
ܘܐܬܡܠܝ ܗܘܐ ܚܤܡܐ ܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܥܡܗ ܕܐܝܬܝܗܘܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܝܘܠܦܢܐ ܕܙܕܘܩܝܐ
18 and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in the public prison.
ܘܐܪܡܝܘ ܐܝܕܝܐ ܥܠ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܘܐܚܕܘ ܐܤܪܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ
19 But an angel of the Lord in the night opened the prison-doors, and brought them forth and said,
ܗܝܕܝܢ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܦܬܚ ܬܪܥܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܘܐܦܩ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ
20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
ܙܠܘ ܩܘܡܘ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܡܠܠܘ ܠܥܡܐ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܡܠܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܚܝܐ
21 And hearing this, they went into the temple at daybreak and taught. But the high-priest and they that were with him came and called together the council, and all the elders of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
ܘܢܦܩܘ ܥܕܢ ܫܦܪܐ ܘܥܠܘ ܠܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܡܠܦܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܥܡܗ ܩܪܘ ܠܚܒܪܝܗܘܢ ܘܠܩܫܝܫܐ ܕܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܘܫܕܪܘ ܠܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܕܢܝܬܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܫܠܝܚܐ
22 But the officers that came did not find them in the prison; and they returned and brought word,
ܘܟܕ ܐܙܠܘ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܫܬܕܪܘ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܘܗܦܟܘ ܐܬܘ
23 saying, The prison we found shut in all security and the keepers standing at the doors: but when we opened them, we found no one within.
ܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܫܟܚܢ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܕܐܚܝܕ ܙܗܝܪܐܝܬ ܘܐܦ ܠܢܛܘܪܐ ܕܩܝܡܝܢ ܥܠ ܬܪܥܐ ܘܦܬܚܢ ܘܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܢ ܬܡܢ
24 And when the priest, and the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were at a loss concerning them, to what this would come.
ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܠܐ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܐܪܟܘܢܐ ܕܗܝܟܠܐ ܬܘܝܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܗܕܐ
25 But one came and brought them word, Lo! the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people.
ܘܐܬܐ ܐܢܫ ܐܘܕܥ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܗܢܘܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܕܚܒܫܬܘܢ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܗܐ ܩܝܡܝܢ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܡܠܦܝܢ ܠܥܡܐ
26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence, that they might not be stoned; for they feared the people.
ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܙܠܘ ܐܪܟܘܢܐ ܥܡ ܕܚܫܐ ܕܢܝܬܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܐ ܒܩܛܝܪܐ ܕܚܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܠܡܐ ܢܪܓܘܡ ܐܢܘܢ ܥܡܐ
27 And having brought them, they set them before the council. And the high-priest questioned them,
ܘܟܕ ܐܝܬܝܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܐܩܝܡܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܩܕܡ ܟܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܘܐܩܦ ܗܘܐ ܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ
28 saying, We strictly commanded you not to teach in this name, and lo! ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and mean to bring this man's blood upon us.
ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܦܩܕ ܦܩܕܢ ܗܘܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܐܢܫ ܠܐ ܬܠܦܘܢ ܒܫܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܗܐ ܡܠܝܬܘܢܗ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܡܢ ܝܘܠܦܢܟܘܢ ܘܨܒܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܬܝܬܘܢ ܥܠܝܢ ܕܡܗ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܗܢܐ
29 But Peter and the apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
ܥܢܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܥܡ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܡܬܛܦܤܘ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܕܠܒܢܝܢܫܐ
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew by hanging him on a cross;
ܐܠܗܐ ܕܐܒܗܬܢ ܐܩܝܡ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܩܛܠܬܘܢ ܟܕ ܬܠܝܬܘܢܝܗܝ ܥܠ ܩܝܤܐ
31 him hath God exalted by his right hand, as a Leader and Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
ܠܗ ܠܗܢܐ ܐܩܝܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܪܫܐ ܘܡܚܝܢܐ ܘܐܪܝܡܗ ܒܝܡܝܢܗ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܬܠ ܬܝܒܘܬܐ ܘܫܘܒܩܢ ܚܛܗܐ ܠܐܝܤܪܝܠ
32 And we are his witnesses of these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit which God hath given to those who obey him.
ܘܚܢܢ ܤܗܕܐ ܚܢܢ ܕܡܠܐ ܗܠܝܢ ܘܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܗܘ ܕܝܗܒ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܒܗ
33 But when they heard this, they were filled with rage, and were resolving to kill them.
ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܗܘܘ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܠܐ ܡܬܓܘܙܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܪܘܓܙܐ ܘܡܬܚܫܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܩܛܠ ܐܢܘܢ
34 But there stood up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, in high esteem with all the people, and commanded to put the men forth a little while,
ܘܩܡ ܗܘܐ ܚܕ ܡܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܓܡܠܝܐܝܠ ܡܠܦ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܘܡܝܩܪ ܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܥܡܐ ܘܦܩܕ ܕܢܦܩܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܫܠܝܚܐ ܠܒܪ ܥܕܢܐ ܙܥܘܪܐ
35 and said to them [[of the council]], Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves as to what ye are about to do in respect to these men.
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܒܢܝ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܒܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܘܚܙܘ ܡܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܥܠ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܢܫܐ
36 For before these days arose 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 came to nought.
ܡܢ ܩܕܡ ܓܝܪ ܗܢܐ ܙܒܢܐ ܩܡ ܗܘܐ ܬܘܕܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܗ ܕܡܕܡ ܗܘ ܪܒ ܘܐܙܠܘ ܒܬܪܗ ܐܝܟ ܐܪܒܥܡܐܐ ܓ ܒܪܝܢ ܘܗܘ ܐܬܩܛܠ ܘܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܙܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܬܪܗ ܐܬܒܕܪܘ ܘܗܘܘ ܐܝܟ ܠܐ ܡܕܡ
37 After this man arose Judas the Galilaean, in the days of the registering, and drew people away after him; he also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
ܘܩܡ ܡܢ ܒܬܪܗ ܝܗܘܕܐ ܓܠܝܠܝܐ ܒܝܘܡܬܐ ܕܡܬܟܬܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܢܫܐ ܒܟܤܦ ܪܫܐ ܘܐܤܛܝ ܥܡܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܒܬܪܗ ܘܗܘ ܡܝܬ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܙܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܬܪܗ ܐܬܒܕܪܘ
38 And now I say to you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this design or this work be of men, it will come to nought;
ܘܗܫܐ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܦܪܘܩܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܘܫܒܘܩܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܐܢ ܗܘ ܕܡܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܗܕܐ ܡܚܫܒܬܐ ܘܗܢܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܡܫܬܪܝܢ ܘܥܒܪܝܢ
39 but if it be of God, ye will not be able to overthrow them; lest haply ye be found also fighting against God.
ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܠܐ ܡܛܝܐ ܒܐܝܕܝܟܘܢ ܕܬܒܛܠܘܢܝܗܝ ܕܠܡܐ ܬܫܬܟܚܘܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܘܩܒܠ ܐܠܗܐ ܩܝܡܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ
40 And they were persuaded by him; and having called the apostles, they beat them, and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.
ܘܐܬܛܦܝܤܘ ܠܗ ܘܩܪܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܫܠܝܚܐ ܘܢܓܕܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܦܩܕܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܗܘܘܢ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܒܫܡܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܘܫܪܘ ܐܢܘܢ
41 They therefore went away from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame in behalf of that name;
ܘܢܦܩܘ ܡܢ ܩܕܡܝܗܘܢ ܟܕ ܚܕܝܢ ܕܫܘܘ ܗܘܘ ܡܛܠ ܫܡܐ ܕܢܨܛܥܪܘܢ
42 and every day, in the temple, and in houses, they ceased not to teach, and to publish the glad tidings concerning Jesus the Christ.
ܘܠܐ ܫܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܟܠܝܘܡ ܠܡܠܦܘ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܒܒܝܬܐ ܘܠܡܤܒܪܘ ܥܠ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ
