Πραξεις 4
1 λαλουντων δε αυτων προσ τον λαον επεστησαν αυτοισ οι ιερεισ και ο στρατηγοσ του ιερου και οι σαδδουκαιοι
But, as they were speaking unto the people, the High-priests and the Captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,
2 διαπονουμενοι δια το διδασκειν αυτουσ τον λαον και καταγγελλειν εν τω ιησου την αναστασιν των νεκρων
Being tired out because of their teaching the people, and announcing, in Jesus, the resurrection from among the dead;
3 και επεβαλον αυτοισ τασ χειρασ και εθεντο εισ τηρησιν εισ την αυριον ην γαρ εσπερα ηδη
And they thrust on them their hands, and put them in custody for the morrow, for it was evening, already.
4 πολλοι δε των ακουσαντων τον λογον επιστευσαν και εγενηθη ο αριθμοσ των ανδρων ωσει χιλιαδεσ πεντε
Howbeit, many of them that heard the word, believed; and the number of the men became about five thousand.
5 εγενετο δε επι την αυριον συναχθηναι αυτων τουσ αρχοντασ και πρεσβυτερουσ και γραμματεισ εισ ιερουσαλημ
And it came to pass, upon the morrow, that there were gathered together of them, the rulers and the elders and the scribes, in Jerusalem;
6 και ανναν τον αρχιερεα και καιαφαν και ιωαννην και αλεξανδρον και οσοι ησαν εκ γενουσ αρχιερατικου
Also Annas, the high-priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of high-priestly descent; —
7 και στησαντεσ αυτουσ εν μεσω επυνθανοντο εν ποια δυναμει η εν ποιω ονοματι εποιησατε τουτο υμεισ
And, setting them in the midst, they began to enquire—In what manner of power, or in what manner of name, did, ye, do this?
8 τοτε πετροσ πλησθεισ πνευματοσ αγιου ειπεν προσ αυτουσ αρχοντεσ του λαου και πρεσβυτεροι του ισραηλ
Then Peter, filled with Holy Spirit, said unto them—Ye rulers of the people, and elders!
9 ει ημεισ σημερον ανακρινομεθα επι ευεργεσια ανθρωπου ασθενουσ εν τινι ουτοσ σεσωσται
If, we, this day, are to be examined for doing good to a sick man, —in whom, this, man hath been made well,
10 γνωστον εστω πασιν υμιν και παντι τω λαω ισραηλ οτι εν τω ονοματι ιησου χριστου του ναζωραιου ον υμεισ εσταυρωσατε ον ο θεοσ ηγειρεν εκ νεκρων εν τουτω ουτοσ παρεστηκεν ενωπιον υμων υγιησ
Be it known unto you all, and unto all the people of Israel: that, in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, —whom, ye, crucified, whom, God, raised from among the dead, in him, doth, this man stand by, in your presence, whole.
11 ουτοσ εστιν ο λιθοσ ο εξουθενηθεισ υφ υμων των οικοδομουντων ο γενομενοσ εισ κεφαλην γωνιασ
This, is the stone, set at nought by you the builders, which became the head of the corner;
12 και ουκ εστιν εν αλλω ουδενι η σωτηρια ουτε γαρ ονομα εστιν ετερον το δεδομενον εν ανθρωποισ εν ω δει σωθηναι ημασ
And there is in no one else, salvation, for, neither is there any other name, under heaven, which hath been set forth among men, in which we must needs be saved.
13 θεωρουντεσ δε την του πετρου παρρησιαν και ιωαννου και καταλαβομενοι οτι ανθρωποι αγραμματοι εισιν και ιδιωται εθαυμαζον επεγινωσκον τε αυτουσ οτι συν τω ιησου ησαν
And, looking at Peter’s boldness of speech, and John’s, and having discovered that they were unlettered and obscure men, they began to marvel, recognising them also, that they had been with Jesus;
14 τον δε ανθρωπον βλεποντεσ συν αυτοισ εστωτα τον τεθεραπευμενον ουδεν ειχον αντειπειν
Seeing, the man also standing, with them, even the [man] who had been cured, they had nothing wherewith to contradict.
15 κελευσαντεσ δε αυτουσ εξω του συνεδριου απελθειν συνεβαλλον προσ αλληλουσ
Howbeit, ordering them to go forth outside the high-council, they began to confer one with another,
16 λεγοντεσ τι ποιησομεν τοισ ανθρωποισ τουτοισ οτι μεν γαρ γνωστον σημειον γεγονεν δι αυτων πασιν τοισ κατοικουσιν ιερουσαλημ φανερον και ου δυναμεθα αρνησασθαι
Saying—What are we to do with these men? For, indeed, that a notable sign hath come to pass through their means, unto all who are dwelling in Jerusalem, is manifest, and we cannot deny [it]!
17 αλλ ινα μη επι πλειον διανεμηθη εισ τον λαον απειλη απειλησομεθα αυτοισ μηκετι λαλειν επι τω ονοματι τουτω μηδενι ανθρωπων
Nevertheless, lest it further spread abroad among the people, let us charge them with threats, to be no more speaking upon this name, to any soul of man.
18 και καλεσαντεσ αυτουσ παρηγγειλαν αυτοισ το καθολου μη φθεγγεσθαι μηδε διδασκειν επι τω ονοματι του ιησου
And, calling them, they gave them the sweeping charge, —not to be sounding aloud, nor even to be teaching, upon the name of Jesus.
19 ο δε πετροσ και ιωαννησ αποκριθεντεσ προσ αυτουσ ειπον ει δικαιον εστιν ενωπιον του θεου υμων ακουειν μαλλον η του θεου κρινατε
But, Peter and John, answering, said unto them—Whether it be right in presence of God, unto you, to be hearkening, rather than unto God, judge!
20 ου δυναμεθα γαρ ημεισ α ειδομεν και ηκουσαμεν μη λαλειν
For, we, cannot but be speaking the things which we have seen and heard.
21 οι δε προσαπειλησαμενοι απελυσαν αυτουσ μηδεν ευρισκοντεσ το πωσ κολασονται αυτουσ δια τον λαον οτι παντεσ εδοξαζον τον θεον επι τω γεγονοτι
They, however, further charging them with threats, let them go, finding nothing as to how they might chastise them, on account of the people; because, all, were glorifying God for that which had come to pass; —
22 ετων γαρ ην πλειονων τεσσαρακοντα ο ανθρωποσ εφ ον εγεγονει το σημειον τουτο τησ ιασεωσ
For, more than forty years old, was the man, upon whom had taken place, this healing sign.
23 απολυθεντεσ δε ηλθον προσ τουσ ιδιουσ και απηγγειλαν οσα προσ αυτουσ οι αρχιερεισ και οι πρεσβυτεροι ειπον
But, when they had been let go, they came unto their own [friends], and told as many things as, unto them, the High-priests and Elders, had said.
24 οι δε ακουσαντεσ ομοθυμαδον ηραν φωνην προσ τον θεον και ειπον δεσποτα συ ο θεοσ ο ποιησασ τον ουρανον και την γην και την θαλασσαν και παντα τα εν αυτοισ
And, they, having heard, with one accord, uplifted voice unto God, and said—O Sovereign! Thou, art he that made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things that are herein:
25 ο δια στοματοσ δαυιδ παιδοσ σου ειπων ινα τι εφρυαξαν εθνη και λαοι εμελετησαν κενα
Who, by our father, through means of the Holy Spirit, even by the mouth of David thy servant, said—Unto what end did nations rage, and, peoples, busy themselves with empty things?
26 παρεστησαν οι βασιλεισ τησ γησ και οι αρχοντεσ συνηχθησαν επι το αυτο κατα του κυριου και κατα του χριστου αυτου
The kings of the earth stationed themselves, and, the rulers, were gathered together, with one intent, against the Lord, and against his Christ.
27 συνηχθησαν γαρ επ αληθειασ επι τον αγιον παιδα σου ιησουν ον εχρισασ ηρωδησ τε και ποντιοσ πιλατοσ συν εθνεσιν και λαοισ ισραηλ
For they were gathered together, of a truth, in this city, against thy holy servant Jesus, whom thou hadst anointed, —both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with them of the nations, and peoples of Israel; —
28 ποιησαι οσα η χειρ σου και η βουλη σου προωρισεν γενεσθαι
To do whatsoever, thy hand and thy counsel, marked out beforehand to come to pass.
29 και τα νυν κυριε επιδε επι τασ απειλασ αυτων και δοσ τοισ δουλοισ σου μετα παρρησιασ πασησ λαλειν τον λογον σου
As to the present things, then, O Lord, —look upon their threats, and grant unto thy servants, with all freedom of utterance, to be speaking thy word,
30 εν τω την χειρα σου εκτεινειν σε εισ ιασιν και σημεια και τερατα γινεσθαι δια του ονοματοσ του αγιου παιδοσ σου ιησου
By stretching forth thy hand for healing, and by the coming to pass of both signs and wonders, through the name of thy holy servant Jesus.
31 και δεηθεντων αυτων εσαλευθη ο τοποσ εν ω ησαν συνηγμενοι και επλησθησαν απαντεσ πνευματοσ αγιου και ελαλουν τον λογον του θεου μετα παρρησιασ
And, when they had made supplication, the place was shaken in which they were gathered together, and they were filled, one and all, with the Holy Spirit, and began speaking the word of God with freedom of utterance.
32 του δε πληθουσ των πιστευσαντων ην η καρδια και η ψυχη μια και ουδε εισ τι των υπαρχοντων αυτων ελεγεν ιδιον ειναι αλλ ην αυτοισ απαντα κοινα
And, the throng of them that believed, had one heart and soul, and not so much as one was saying that, aught of his goods, was, his own, but they had all things common.
33 και μεγαλη δυναμει απεδιδουν το μαρτυριον οι αποστολοι τησ αναστασεωσ του κυριου ιησου χαρισ τε μεγαλη ην επι παντασ αυτουσ
And, with great power, were the apostles giving forth their witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus; great favour also was upon them all.
34 ουδε γαρ ενδεησ τισ υπηρχεν εν αυτοισ οσοι γαρ κτητορεσ χωριων η οικιων υπηρχον πωλουντεσ εφερον τασ τιμασ των πιπρασκομενων
For there was not so much as anyone, lacking, among them; for, as many as were possessors of lands or houses, selling them, were bringing the prices of the things that were being sold,
35 και ετιθουν παρα τουσ ποδασ των αποστολων διεδιδοτο δε εκαστω καθοτι αν τισ χρειαν ειχεν
And laying them at the feet of the Apostles, while on the other hand they were distributing unto each one, in so far as any one had, need.
36 ιωσησ δε ο επικληθεισ βαρναβασ απο των αποστολων ο εστιν μεθερμηνευομενον υιοσ παρακλησεωσ λευιτησ κυπριοσ τω γενει
And, Joseph, who had been surnamed Barnabas by the Apostles, which is to be translated Son of Exhortation, —a Levite, a Cyprian by nation,
37 υπαρχοντοσ αυτω αγρου πωλησασ ηνεγκεν το χρημα και εθηκεν παρα τουσ ποδασ των αποστολων
Having a field, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the feet of the Apostles.
