Acts 5
1 And a certain man, Ananias by name, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
Vir autem quidam nomine Ananias, cum Saphira uxore suo vendidit agrum,
2 and did keep back of the price — his wife also knowing — and having brought a certain part, at the feet of the apostles he laid [it].
et fraudavit de pretio agri, conscia uxore sua: et afferens partem quamdam, ad pedes Apostolorum posuit.
3 And Peter said, 'Ananias, wherefore did the Adversary fill thy heart, for thee to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back of the price of the place?
Dixit autem Petrus: Anania, cur tentavit Satanas cor tuum, mentiri te Spiritui Sancto, et fraudare de pretio agri?
4 while it remained, did it not remain thine? and having been sold, in thy authority was it not? why [is] it that thou didst put in thy heart this thing? thou didst not lie to men, but to God;'
Nonne manens tibi manebat, et venundatum in tua erat potestate? Quare posuisti in corde tuo hanc rem? Non es mentitus hominibus, sed Deo.
5 and Ananias hearing these words, having fallen down, did expire, and great fear came upon all who heard these things,
Audiens autem Ananias hæc verba, cecidit, et expiravit. Et factus est timor magnus super omnes, qui audierunt.
6 and having risen, the younger men wound him up, and having carried forth, they buried [him].
Surgentes autem iuvenes amoverunt eum, et efferentes sepelierunt.
7 And it came to pass, about three hours after, that his wife, not knowing what hath happened, came in,
Factum est autem quasi horarum trium spatium, et uxor ipsius, nesciens quod factum fuerat, introivit.
8 and Peter answered her, 'Tell me if for so much ye sold the place;' and she said, 'Yes, for so much.'
Dixit autem ei Petrus: Dic mihi mulier, si tanti agrum vendidistis? At illa dixit: Etiam tanti.
9 And Peter said unto her, 'How was it agreed by you, to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? lo, the feet of those who did bury thy husband [are] at the door, and they shall carry thee forth;'
Petrus autem ad eam: Quid utique convenit vobis tentare Spiritum Domini? Ecce pedes eorum, qui sepelierunt virum tuum ad ostium, et efferent te.
10 and she fell down presently at his feet, and expired, and the young men having come in, found her dead, and having carried forth, they buried [her] by her husband;
Confestim cecidit ante pedes eius, et expiravit. Intrantes autem iuvenes invenerunt illam mortuam: et extulerunt, et sepelierunt ad virum suum.
11 and great fear came upon all the assembly, and upon all who heard these things.
Et factus est timor magnus in universa Ecclesia, et in omnes, qui audierunt hæc.
12 And through the hands of the apostles came many signs and wonders among the people, and they were with one accord all in the porch of Solomon;
Per manus autem Apostolorum fiebant signa, et prodigia multa in plebe. Et erant unanimiter omnes in porticu Salomonis.
13 and of the rest no one was daring to join himself to them, but the people were magnifying them,
Ceterorum autem nemo audebat se coniungere illis: sed magnificabat eos populus.
14 (and the more were believers added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women, )
Magis autem augebatur credentium in Domino multitudo virorum, ac mulierum,
15 so as into the broad places to bring forth the ailing, and to lay [them] upon couches and mats, that at the coming of Peter, even [his] shadow might overshadow some one of them;
ita ut in plateas eiicerent infirmos, et ponerent in lectulis et grabatis, ut, veniente Petro, saltem umbra illius obumbraret quemquam illorum, et liberarentur ab infirmitatibus suis.
16 and there were coming together also the people of the cities round about to Jerusalem, bearing ailing persons, and those harassed by unclean spirits — who were all healed.
Concurrebat autem et multitudo vicinarum civitatum Ierusalem, afferentes ægros, et vexatos a spiritibus immundis: qui curabantur omnes.
17 And having risen, the chief priest, and all those with him — being the sect of the Sadducees — were filled with zeal,
Exurgens autem princeps sacerdotum, et omnes, qui cum illo erant, (quæ est hæresis Sadducæorum) repleti sunt zelo:
18 and laid their hands upon the apostles, and did put them in a public prison;
et iniecerunt manus in Apostolos, et posuerunt eos in custodia publica.
19 and a messenger of the Lord through the night opened the doors of the prison, having also brought them forth, he said,
Angelus autem Domini per noctem aperiens ianuas carceris, et educens eos, dixit:
20 'Go on, and standing, speak in the temple to the people all the sayings of this life;'
Ite, et stantes loquimini in templo plebi omnia verba vitæ huius.
21 and having heard, they did enter at the dawn into the temple, and were teaching. And the chief priest having come, and those with him, they called together the sanhedrim and all the senate of the sons of Israel, and they sent to the prison to have them brought,
Qui cum audissent, intraverunt diluculo in templum, et docebant. Adveniens autem princeps sacerdotum, et qui cum eo erant, convocaverunt concilium, et omnes seniores filiorum Israel: et miserunt ad carcerem ut adducerentur.
22 and the officers having come, did not find them in the prison, and having turned back, they told,
Cum autem venissent ministri, et aperto carcere non invenissent illos, reversi nunciaverunt,
23 saying — 'The prison indeed we found shut in all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors, and having opened — within we found no one.'
dicentes: Carcerem quidem invenimus clausum cum omni diligentia, et custodes stantes ante ianuas: aperientes autem neminem intus invenimus.
24 And as the priest, and the magistrate of the temple, and the chief priests, heard these words, they were doubting concerning them to what this would come;
Ut autem audierunt hos sermones magistratus templi, et principes sacerdotum ambigebant de illis quidnam fieret.
25 and coming near, a certain one told them, saying — 'Lo, the men whom ye did put in the prison are in the temple standing and teaching the people;'
Adveniens autem quidam nunciavit eis: Quia ecce viri, quos posuistis in carcerem, sunt in templo stantes, et docentes populum.
26 then the magistrate having gone away with officers, brought them without violence, for they were fearing the people, lest they should be stoned;
Tunc abiit magistratus cum ministris, et adduxit illos sine vi: timebant enim populum ne lapidarentur.
27 and having brought them, they set [them] in the sanhedrim, and the chief priest questioned them,
Et cum adduxissent illos, statuerunt in concilio: Et interrogavit eos princeps sacerdotum,
28 saying, 'Did not we strictly command you not to teach in this name? and lo, ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and ye intend to bring upon us the blood of this man.'
dicens: Præcipiendo præcepimus vobis ne doceretis in nomine isto: et ecce replestis Ierusalem doctrina vestra: et vultis inducere super nos sanguinem hominis istius.
29 And Peter and the apostles answering, said, 'To obey God it behoveth, rather than men;
Respondens autem Petrus, et Apostoli, dixerunt: Obedire oportet Deo magis, quam hominibus.
30 and the God of our fathers did raise up Jesus, whom ye slew, having hanged upon a tree;
Deus patrum nostrorum suscitavit Iesum, quem vos interemistis, suspendentes in ligno.
31 this one God, a Prince and a Saviour, hath exalted with His right hand, to give reformation to Israel, and forgiveness of sins;
Hunc Principem, et Salvatorem Deus exaltavit dextera sua ad dandam pœnitentiam Israeli, et remissionem peccatorum.
32 and we are His witnesses of these sayings, and the Holy Spirit also, whom God gave to those obeying him.'
Et nos sumus testes horum verborum, et Spiritus Sanctus, quem dedit Deus omnibus obedientibus sibi.
33 And they having heard, were cut [to the heart], and were taking counsel to slay them,
Hæc cum audissent, dissecabantur, et cogitabant interficere illos.
34 but a certain one, having risen up in the sanhedrim — a Pharisee, by name Gamaliel, a teacher of law honoured by all the people — commanded to put the apostles forth a little,
Surgens autem quidam in concilio Pharisæus, nomine Gamaliel, legisdoctor honorabilis universæ plebi, iussit foras ad breve homines fieri.
35 and said unto them, 'Men, Israelites, take heed to yourselves about these men, what ye are about to do,
Dixitque ad illos: Viri Israelitæ attendite vobis super hominibus istis quid acturi sitis.
36 for before these days rose up Theudas, saying, that himself was some one, to whom a number of men did join themselves, as it were four hundred, who was slain, and all, as many as were obeying him, were scattered, and came to nought.
Ante hos enim dies extitit Theodas, dicens se esse aliquem, cui consensit numerus virorum circiter quadringentorum: qui occisus est: et omnes, qui credebant ei, dissipati sunt, et redacti ad nihilum.
37 'After this one rose up, Judas the Galilean, in the days of the enrolment, and drew away much people after him, and that one perished, and all, as many as were obeying him, were scattered;
Post hunc extitit Iudas Galilæus in diebus professionis, et avertit populum post se, et ipse periit: et omnes, quotquot consenserunt ei, dispersi sunt.
38 and now I say to you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone, because if this counsel or this work may be of men, it will be overthrown,
Et nunc itaque dico vobis, discedite ab hominibus istis, et sinite illos: quoniam si est ex hominibus consilium hoc, aut opus, dissolvetur:
39 and if it be of God, ye are not able to overthrow it, lest perhaps also ye be found fighting against God.'
si vero ex Deo est, non poteritis dissolvere illud, ne forte et Deo repugnare inveniamini. Consenserunt autem illi.
40 And to him they agreed, and having called near the apostles, having beaten [them], they commanded [them] not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go;
Et convocantes Apostolos, cæsis denunciaverunt ne omnino loquerentur in nomine Iesu, et dimiserunt eos.
41 they, indeed, then, departed from the presence of the sanhedrim, rejoicing that for his name they were counted worthy to suffer dishonour,
Et illi quidem ibant gaudentes a conspectu concilii, quoniam digni habiti sunt pro nomine Iesu contumeliam pati.
42 every day also in the temple, and in every house, they were not ceasing teaching and proclaiming good news — Jesus the Christ.
Omni autem die non cessabant in templo, et circa domos docentes, et evangelizantes Christum Iesum.
