Acts 5
1 Now a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a piece of property,
AND a certain man whose name was Hanania, with his wife whose name was Shaphira, sold a field,
2 and he kept back part of the sale money (his wife also knew it), and brought the other part of it and laid it at the apostles' feet.
and took from its value and concealed, while his wife consented, and brought of it silver and laid before the feet of the apostles.
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?
And Shemun said to him, Hanania, how hath Satana thus filled thine heart that thou shouldest lie to the Spirit of Holiness, and conceal from the silver of the price of the field?
4 While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own, and after it was sold, was it not in your control? How is it that you thought of this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God.”
Was it not thine own until it should be sold? and when it was sold thou hadst yet power over the price of it. Why hast thou laid up in thy heart to do this thing? Thou hast not lied unto men, but unto Aloha!
5 Hearing these words, Ananias fell down and breathed his last, and great fear came upon all who heard it.
And when Hanania heard these words he fell and died. And there was great fear upon all those who heard.
6 The young men came forward and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.
And they who were young men among them arose and composed him, carried him forth and buried him.
7 After about three hours, his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
And after there had been three hours, his wife also entered, not knowing what had been done.
8 Peter said to her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” She said, “Yes, for so much.”
Shemun said to her, Tell me if for these prices you sold the field? But she said, Yes: for these prices.
9 Then Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”
Shemun said to her, Why have you agreed to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Lo, the feet of the buriers of thy husband are at the door, and they will carry thee out!
10 She immediately fell down at his feet and breathed her last. When the young men came in, they found her dead, and carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
And at once she fell before their feet and died. And those young men entered and found her dead, and they laid her out, and brought her forth and buried her by the side of her husband.
11 Great fear came upon the whole church, and upon all who heard these things.
And there was great fear upon all the church and in all them who heard.
12 Many signs and wonders were taking place among the people through the hands of the apostles. They were all together in Solomon's Porch.
AND by the hand of the apostles were done great signs and mighty works among the people: and all gathered together at the portico of Shelemun.
13 But no one else had the courage to join them; however, they were held in high esteem by the people.
And from the others not a man dared to come near them; but the people magnified them.
14 Still more believers were being added to the Lord, multitudes of men and women,
And the more were they who believed added to the Lord, an assemblage of men and of women;
15 so that they even carried the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, so that as Peter came by, his shadow might fall on some of them.
so that into the streets they brought forth the diseased lying on beds, that, when Shemun should come, even his shadow might overshadow them.
16 There also came together a great number of people from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all healed.
But there came many to them from the other cities round about Urishlem, bringing the diseased and those who had unclean spirits: and they were healed, all of them.
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
And the chief of the priests, and they who were with him, who were of the doctrine of the Zadukoyee, were filled with envy,
18 and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in the public jail.
and they laid hands on the apostles, and apprehended and bound them in the house of the bound.
19 Yet during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and led them out, and said,
Then in the night the angel of the Lord opened the gate of the house of the bound, and brought them forth, and said to them,
20 “Go, stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this life.”
Go stand in the temple and speak to the people all these words of salvation.
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, all the elders of the people of Israel, and sent to the jail to have the apostles brought.
And they went forth in the time of morning, and entered the temple, and taught. But the chief of the priests and they who were with him arose (and) convoked their associates and the elders of Israel, and sent to the house of the bound to bring the apostles.
22 But the officers that went did not find them in the prison, and they returned and reported,
And when they who were sent from them went, they found them not (in) the house of the bound; and they returned, and came,
23 “We found the jail securely shut and the guards standing at the door, but when we had opened it, we found no one inside.”
and said, We found the house of the bound shut carefully, and the keepers standing at the gates: and we opened, but no man found we there.
24 Now when the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were much perplexed concerning them as to what would come of it.
And when the chief priests and rulers of the temple heard these words, they were astounded by them, and reasoned, what this was.
25 Then someone came and told them, “The men whom you put in the jail are standing in the temple and teaching the people.”
And one came and declared to them, Those men whom you shut up in the house of the bound, behold, they are standing in the temple and teaching the people.
26 So the captain went with the officers, and brought them back, but without violence, for they feared that the people might stone them.
Then went the rulers with the satellites to bring them, not with violence, for they feared lest the people should stone them;
27 When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest interrogated them,
and when they had brought them they made them stand before all the assembly, and the chief of the priests began to say to them,
28 saying, “We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, and yet, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and desire to bring this man's blood upon us.”
Did we not commanding command you, that you should teach no man in this name? But, behold, you have filled Urishlem with your doctrine, and you will to bring upon us the blood of this man!
29 But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.
SHEMUN answered with the apostles and said to them, Aloha must we obey rather than men.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree.
The God of our fathers hath raised up Jeshu whom you killed and hanged on the tree.
31 God exalted him to his right hand to be a prince and a savior, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
Him hath Aloha constituted a Prince and a Saviour, and elevated him at his right hand, to give repentance and remission of sins unto Israel.
32 We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”
And we are witnesses of these words, and the Spirit of Holiness himself, whom Aloha hath given to them who believe in him.
33 When the council members heard this, they were furious and wanted to kill the apostles.
And when they heard these words they were transported with rage, and were mindful to kill them.
34 But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, who was honored by all the people, stood up and commanded the apostles to be taken outside for a little while.
And one of the Pharishee arose, whose name was Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, and honoured by all the people, and commanded to take the apostles without a little time.
35 Then he said to them, “Men of Israel, pay close attention to what you propose to do with these people.
And he said to them, Men, sons of Israel, beware of yourselves, and consider what it behoves you to do concerning these men.
36 For some time ago, Theudas rose up claiming to be somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined him. He was killed, and all who had been obeying him were scattered and came to nothing.
For before this time arose Thuda, and said of himself that he was something great, and there went after him four hundred men: and he was slain, and they who went after him were scattered and became as nothing.
37 After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all who had been obeying him were scattered.
Afterward arose Jihuda Galiloya in the days when men were enregistered for the head-silver, and tempted much people after him; and he died, and all they who went after him were scattered.
38 Now I say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or work is of men, it will be overthrown.
And now I say to you, keep aloof from these men, and dismiss them; for if from men be this imagination and this work, it will be dissolved and end;
39 But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them; you may even find that you are fighting against God.” So they were persuaded.
but if it be from Aloha, there is no power in your hands to bring it to an end: lest you should be found to have arisen against Aloha.
40 Then they called the apostles in and beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
And they were persuaded by him, and called the apostles, and scourged them, and commanded them that they should not teach in the name of Jeshu, and loosed them.
41 They left the council rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the Name.
And they went out from before them, rejoicing to be worthy for the sake of the Name to be ill treated.
42 Thereafter every day, in the temple and from house to house, they were continuously teaching and proclaiming Jesus as the Christ.
And they ceased not daily to teach in the temple, and in the house, and to preach concerning our Lord Jeshu Meshiha.
