< Acts 4 >

1 And while they were speaking these words to the people, the priests and the Sadducees and the rulers of the temple rose up against them;
ⲁ̅ⲉⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲙⲏⲏϣⲉ ⲁⲩⲉⲓ ⲉϩⲣⲁⲓ̈ ⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛ̅ϭⲓⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲏⲏⲃ ⲙⲛ̅ⲡⲉⲥⲧⲣⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲥ ⲛ̅ⲧⲉⲡⲣ̅ⲡⲉ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛ̅ⲥⲁⲇⲇⲟⲩⲕⲁⲓⲟⲥ.
2 being angry with them, that they taught the people, and preached a resurrection from the dead by the Messiah.
ⲃ̅ⲉⲩⲙⲟⲕϩ̅ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲩϯⲥⲃⲱ ⲙ̅ⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛⲉⲩⲧⲁϣⲉⲟⲓ̈ϣ ϩⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲛⲁⲥⲧⲁⲥⲓⲥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲧⲙⲟⲟⲩⲧ.
3 And they laid hands on them, and kept them until the next day; because evening was drawing near.

4 And many who had heard the word, believed; and they were, in number, about five thousand men.

5 And the next day, the rulers and the Elders and the Scribes assembled;

6 and also Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and they who were of the kindred of the high priests.

7 And when they had set them in the midst, they interrogated them: By what power or what name, have ye done this?

8 Then Simon Cephas was filled with the Holy Spirit, and said to them: Ye rulers of the people, and Elders of the house of Israel, hear ye.

9 If we are judged by you this day, respecting the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he was healed;

10 be it known to you, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Messiah the Nazarean, whom ye crucified, and whom God hath raised from the dead, lo, by him, doth this man stand here before you recovered.

11 This is the stone, which ye builders rejected; and it hath become the head of the corner.

12 Neither is there deliverance in any other; for there is not another name under heaven, which is given to men, whereby to live.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛ̅ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈ ϣⲟⲟⲡ ϩⲛ̅ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁ. ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲙⲛ̅ⲕⲉⲣⲁⲛ ϩⲁⲡⲉⲥⲏⲧ ⲛ̅ⲧⲡⲉ ⲉⲁⲩⲧⲁⲁϥ ⲛ̅ⲛ̅ⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲉⲛⲛⲁϣⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ̈ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲧϥ̅.
13 And when they heard the speech of Simon and John, which they pronounced confidently, they reflected that these were unlearned and plebeian men, and they were surprised at them, and recognized them as having been conversant with Jesus.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲉⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲡⲁⲣⲣⲟⲩⲥⲓⲁ ⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲧⲣⲟⲥ ⲙⲛ̅ⲓ̈ⲱϩⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ. ⲁⲩⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ϩⲉⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲛ̅ϩⲏⲇⲓⲱⲧⲏⲥ ⲛ̅ⲥⲉⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ̅ ⲁⲛ ⲛ̅ⲥϩⲁⲓ̈. ⲁⲩⲣ̅ϣⲡⲏⲣⲉ ⲁⲩⲥⲟⲩⲱⲛⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲩϣⲟⲟⲡ ⲡⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲓ̅ⲥ̅.
14 And they saw that the lame man, who had been healed, stood near them; and they could say nothing to confront them.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲉⲩⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲛ̅ⲧⲁⲩⲧⲁⲗϭⲟϥ ⲉϥⲁϩⲉⲣⲁⲧϥ̅ ⲛⲙ̅ⲙⲁⲩ. ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩϭⲛ̅ϣⲁϫⲉ ⲉϫⲱ.
15 Then they commanded to remove them from the presence of the council; and said one to another:
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲉϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲣⲉⲩⲣ̅ⲡⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲥⲩⲛϩⲉⲇⲣⲓⲟⲛ. ⲁⲩϣⲁϫⲉ ⲙⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲩⲉⲣⲏⲩ.
16 What shall we do to these men? For lo, that a manifest sign hath been wrought by them, is known to all that reside at Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉⲧⲛ̅ⲛⲁⲁⲁϥ ⲛ̅ⲛⲉⲓ̈ⲣⲱⲙⲉ. ϩⲟⲧⲓ ⲙⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲁⲩⲙⲁⲉⲓⲛ ⲉϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲱⲡⲉ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲟⲧⲟⲩ. ϥⲟⲩⲟⲛϩ̅ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲛ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲉⲧⲟⲩⲏϩ ϩⲛ̅ⲑⲓⲗⲏ̅ⲙ̅. ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲛ̅ϣϭⲟⲙ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲛ ⲉⲁⲣⲛⲁ.
17 But that the fame of it spread no further, let us interdict their speaking any more to any man in this name.

18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak nor to teach at all in the name of Jesus.

19 Simon Cephas and John answered, and said to them: Whether it be right before God, that we hearken to you more than to God, judge ye.

20 For we cannot but speak that which we have seen and heard.

21 And they threatened them, and dismissed them. For they found no ground for punishing them, because of the people: for every one praised God for what had been done;
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲛ̅ⲧⲟⲟⲩ ϭⲉ ⲁⲩⲁⲡⲓⲗⲏ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲁⲩⲕⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲙ̅ⲡⲟⲩϭⲛ̅ⲑⲉ ⲛ̅ⲕⲟⲗⲁⲍⲉ ⲙ̅ⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉⲡⲗⲁⲟⲥ. ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲩϯⲉⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⲙ̅ⲡⲛⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲉϫⲙ̅ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲉ.
22 for the man, on whom this sign of healing had been wrought, was more than forty years old.

23 And when they were dismissed, they went to their brethren, and told them all that the priests and Elders had said.

24 And they, when they heard it, unitedly lifted up their voice to God and said: Lord, thou art God, who hast made heaven, and earth, and seas, and every thing in them.

25 And it is thou who hast said, by the Holy Spirit in the mouth of David thy servant: Why do the nations rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

26 The kings of the earth and the potentates stood up, and they consulted together, against the Lord, and against his anointed.

27 For, in reality, against thy holy Son Jesus whom thou hast anointed, Herod and Pilate, with the Gentiles and the congregation of Israel, have been combined together in this city,

29 And also now, Lord, behold and see their menaces: and grant to thy servants, that they may proclaim thy word boldly,

31 And when they had prayed and made supplications, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke the word of God boldly.

32 And in the assembly of the persons that believed, there was one soul, and one mind: and no one of them said, of the property he possessed, that it was his own; but whatever was theirs, it was the community's.

33 And with great power, the legates testified to the resurrection of Jesus Messiah: and great grace was with them all.

34 And no one among them was destitute; for those who possessed lands or houses, sold, and brought the price of what was sold,
