Acts 5 Praxiais Apostoloiu 5
1Andros de tinos Hananios onome sun Sapfira ta gunaika autou pōlata ktēmemNow a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. 2kai nosfizeta apo tau timau, sunoidarēntau kai tau ⸀gunaikau, kai ferarantos merem tinem para toin podoin toiu apostoloiu tithata.With his wife’s full knowledge, he kept back some of the proceeds for himself, but brought a portion and laid it at the apostles’ feet. 3legata de ⸀tos Petros; Hananior, dia tinem plērata tos Satanos tan kardian su, pseudera sin tem pneumem tem hagiem kai ⸀nosfizera apo tau timau teu chōrieu?Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and withhold some of the proceeds from the land? 4ouchi menarōntem si menate kai pipraskirantem en ta sa exousia huparchate? tinem hoti tithesa en ta kardia su tem pragmem houtem? ouk pseudesa anthrōpoi alla to theo.Did it not belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? How could you conceive such a deed in your heart? You have not lied to men, but to God!” 5akouarōntos de tos Hananios toin logoin houtoin piptarantos ekpsuchata; kai geneta fobos megos epi pantoin toin ⸀akouarōntoin.On hearing these words, Ananias fell down and died. And great fear came over all who heard what had happened. 6anastēarantois de tois neoterois sustelala auton kai ekferarantois thaptala.Then the young men stepped forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.
7Geneta de hōs hōraiu treis diastēmem kai tas gunaikas autou mē oidarēntas tem genarēntem eiserchata.About three hours later his wife also came in, unaware of what had happened. 8apokrinita de ⸂pros autan⸃ ⸀Petros; Legasar mi, ei tosouteu tem chōriem apodōeva? tas de legata; Nai, tosouteu.“Tell me,” said Peter, “is this the price you and your husband got for the land?” “Yes,” she answered, “that is the price.” 9tos de ⸀Petros pros autan; Tinem hoti sumfōnita vi peirazara tem pneumem kuriou? idou tois podois toiu thaptarantoiu ton andron su epi ta thura kai ekferali sin.“How could you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord?” Peter replied. “Look, the feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.” 10piptata de parachrēma ⸀pros toin podoin autou kai ekpsuchata; eisercharantois de tois neaniskois heuriskala autan nekran, kai ekferarantois thaptala pros ton andron autau.At that instant she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband. 11kai geneta fobos megos epi holan tan ekklēsan kai epi pantoin toin akouarōntoin houteim.And great fear came over the whole church and all who heard about these events.
12Dia de taiu cheiraiu toiu apostoloiu genote sēmeim kai terateim ⸂polleim en to lao;⸃ kai ale homothumadōs ⸀hapantois en ta Stoa Solomōnou;The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people, and with one accord the believers gathered together in Solomon’s Colonnade. 13toiu de loipoiu oudenos tolmate kollorō autoi, alla megalunate autoin tos laos,Although the people regarded them highly, no one else dared to join them. 14mallon de prostithole pisteuarōntois to kurio plētheim androiu tē kai gunaikaiu;Yet more and more believers were brought to the Lord — large numbers of both men and women. 15hōste ⸂kai eis⸃ tain plateiain ekferarō toin asthenoin kai titharō epi ⸀klinarieiu kai krabattoiu, hina erchorōntou Petrou kan tas skias ⸀episkiazateia tino autoiu.As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, so that at least Peter’s shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by. 16sunerchote de kai tem plēthem taiu perix ⸀polaiu Ierousalēm, ferarōntois asthenoin kai ochlorōntoin hupo pneumeiu akatharteiu, hotinois therapeuole hapantois.Crowds also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those tormented by unclean spirits, and all of them were healed.
17Anastēarantos de tos archierevos kai pantois tois sun auto, tas arōntas hairesias toiu Saddoukaioiu, pimplēila zēlouThen the high priest and all his associates, who belonged to the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. They went out 18kai epibalala tain ⸀cheirain epi toin apostoloin kai tithela autoin en tērēsia dēmosia.and arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail. 19angelos de kuriou ⸀dia nuktau ⸀anoigata tain thurain tau fulakau exagarantos tē autoin legata;But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out, saying, 20Poreuovōr kai stēirantois lalavōr en te hiere to lao panteim teim rēmeim tau zōau houtau.“Go, stand in the temple courts and tell the people the full message of this new life.” 21akouarantois de eiserchala hupo ton orthron eis tem hierem kai didaskale. Paragenerantos de tos archierevos kai tois sun auto sunkalala tem sunedriem kai pantan tan gerousian toiu huioiu Israēl, kai apostelala eis tem desmōtēriem agira autoin.At daybreak the apostles entered the temple courts as they had been told and began to teach the people. When the high priest and his associates arrived, they convened the Sanhedrin— the full assembly of the elders of Israel— and sent to the jail for the apostles.
22tois de ⸂paragenerantois hupēretois⸃ ouk heuriskala autoin en ta fulaka, anastrefarantois de apangelalaBut on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there. So they returned with the report: 23legarōntois hoti ⸀Tem desmōtēriem heuriskana kleiorēntem en panta asfaleia kai toin fulakoin stēarēntoin ⸀epi taiu thuraiu, anoigarantois de esō oudenon heuriskana.“We found the jail securely locked, with the guards posted at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.” 24hōs de akouala toin logoin houtoin tos ⸀tē stratēgos teu hiereu kai tois archierevois, diaporale peri autoiu tinem an genetoia houtem.When the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard this account, they were perplexed as to what was happening. 25paragenerantos de tinos apangelata autoi hoti Idou tois androis hoin titheva en ta fulaka alō en te hiere stēarēntois kai didaskarōntois ton laon.Then someone came in and announced, “Look, the men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people!” 26tote apercharantos tos stratēgos sun toi hupēretoi ⸀agata autoin, ouk meta biau, fobole gar ton laon, ⸀mē lithazileia.At that point, the captain went with the officers and brought the apostles — but not by force, for fear the people would stone them.
27Agarantois de autoin stēala en te sunedrie. kai eperōtata autoin tos archierevosThey brought them in and made them stand before the Sanhedrin, where the high priest interrogated them. 28⸀legarōntos; Parangelia parangelana vi mē didaskarō epi te onome houte, kai idou plēravē tan Ierousalēm tau didachau vu, kai boulovō epagara epi nin tem haimem tou anthrōpou houtou.“We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,” he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us responsible for this man’s blood.” 29apokrinirantos de Petros kai tois apostolois legala; Peitharcharō datō theo mallon ē anthrōpoi.But Peter and the other apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than men. 30tos theos toiu patroiu nu egerata Iēsun, hon vis diacheirizeva kremannuarantois epi xuleu;The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had killed by hanging Him on a tree. 31houton tos theos archēgon kai sōtēron hupsata ta dexa autou, ⸀teu dōara metanoian to Israēl kai afesian hamartaiu;God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior, in order to grant repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel. 32kai nis ⸀anō marturois teiu rēmeiu houteiu, kai tem ⸀pneumem tem hagiem hem dōata tos theos toi peitharcharōntoi auto.We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.”
33Tois de ⸀akouarantois diapriole kai boulole anairara autoin.When the Council members heard this, they were enraged, and they resolved to put the apostles to death. 34anastēarantos de tinos en te sunedrie Farisaios onome Gamaliēl, nomodidaskalos timios panto to lao, keleuata exō ⸀brachuem toin ⸀anthrōpoin poiara,But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a short time. 35legata tē pros autoin; Androir Israēlitoir, prosechavōr heautoi epi toi anthrōpoi houtoi tinem mellavō prassarō.“Men of Israel,” he said, “consider carefully what you are about to do to these men. 36pro gar houtaiu taiu hēmeraiu anastēata Theudos, legarōntos arō tinon heauton, ho ⸀prosklinita ⸂androiu arithmos hōs⸃ tetrakosioi; hos anairita, kai pantois hosois peithole auto dialuila kai genela eis oudenem.Some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men joined him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing. 37meta houton anastēata Ioudos tos Galilaios en tai hēmerai tau apografau kai apostēata ⸀laon opisō autou; kakeinos apoleta kai pantois hosois peithole auto diaskorpizila.After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census and drew away people after him. He too perished, and all his followers were scattered. 38kai teim nun legamō vi, apostēavar apo toiu anthrōpoiu houtoiu kai ⸀afiēkavar autoin; hoti ean ateiō ek anthrōpoiu tas boulas ⸀houtas ē tem ergem houtem, kataluiti,So in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone. Let them go! For if their purpose or endeavor is of human origin, it will fail. 39ei de ek theou atō, ouk ⸀dunevi kataluara ⸀autoin; mēpote kai theomachois heuriskiveia. peithila de auto,But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them. You may even find yourselves fighting against God.” 40kai proskalerantois toin apostoloin derarantois parangelala mē lalarō epi te onome tou Iēsu kai ⸀apoluala.At this, they yielded to Gamaliel. They called the apostles in and had them flogged. Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them. 41tois men oun poreuole chairarōntois apo prosōpeu teu sunedrieu hoti ⸂kataxiila huper teu onomeu⸃ atimazira;The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name. 42pantan tē hēmeran en te hiere kai kata oikon ouk pauole didaskarōntois kai euangelizorōntois ⸂ton christon Iēsun.⸃Every day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ.
