Acts 4
1 As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them,
AND while they spake these words to the people, the priests, and Zadukoyee, and the governors of the temple, arose against them,
2 being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
being angered against them because they taught the people, and preached through the Meshiha the resurrection from the dead.
3 They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening.
And they laid upon them hands, and kept them unto the day after, because the evening had drawn nigh.
4 But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.
And many who heard the word believed; and they were in number as five thousand men.
5 In the morning, their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem.
And the day after, the rulers, and elders, and sophree, assembled,
6 Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest.
and also Hanan chief of the priests, and Kaiapha, and Juhanon, and Alexandros, and they who were of the race of the chief priests.
7 When they had stood Peter and John in the middle of them, they inquired, “By what power, or in what name, have you done this?”
And when they had made them stand in the midst, they questioned them, By what power, or in what name, have you done this?
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “You rulers of the people and elders of Israel,
Then Shemun Kipha was filled with the Spirit of Holiness, and said to them, Rulers of the people, and elders of the house of Israel,
9 if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed,
hear: If we this day are judged of you concerning the good which has been done to the infirm man, insomuch that he is cured;
10 may it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, this man stands here before you whole in him.
be this known to you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jeshu Meshiha Natsroya, whom you crucified, whom Aloha hath raised from among the dead, through this Himself, behold, this (man) standeth before you well.
11 He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’
This is the stone which you builders rejected, and he is become the head of the corner.
12 There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!”
And in no other one is redemption: for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind, by which we must be saved.
13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.
And when they heard the words of Shemun and of Juhanon, which they had confidently spoken, they perceived that they knew not literature and were common-men, and wondered at them; and they recognised them, that with Jeshu they had been conversant.
14 Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
And they saw that the lame man who had been healed was standing with them, and they could not say any thing against them.
15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
Then they commanded that they should lead them from their assembly, and said one to another,
16 saying, “What shall we do to these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we can’t deny it.
What shall we do with these men? For, behold, a conspicuous sign which hath been done by their hands to all the inhabitants of Urishlem is known, and we cannot deny.
17 But so that this spreads no further among the people, let’s threaten them, that from now on they don’t speak to anyone in this name.”
But that this report may not go forth more, we will threaten them that again they shall not speak in This Name to any man.
18 They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
And they called them, and commanded them that not at all they should speak and teach in the name of Jeshu.
19 But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,
SHEMUN KIPHA and Juhanon answered and said to them, If it be right before Aloha that you we obey rather than Aloha, judge you.
20 for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.”
For what we have seen and heard we cannot but speak.
21 When they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done.
And they threatened them, and dismissed them; for they could not find cause to lay upon their head, because of the people; for every one glorified Aloha for that which had been done.
22 For the man on whom this miracle of healing was performed was more than forty years old.
For a son of more than forty years was that man in whom had been wrought this sign of healing.
23 Being let go, they came to their own company and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
And when they were dismissed they came to their brethren, and made known to them whatever the priests and elders had said.
24 When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord and said, “O Lord, you are God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;
And they, when they had heard, with one accord lifted up their voice unto Aloha, and said, Lord, thou art God who hast made heaven and earth and the seas, and all that is in them:
25 who by the mouth of your servant David, said, ‘Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?
And thou art he who hast spoken by the Spirit of Holiness in the mouth of David thy servant: Why rage the Heathen, And the peoples imagine vanity?
26 The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers plot together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.’
The kings and powers of the earth arise And counsel together against the Lord, And against his Meshiha.
27 “For truly, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed,
For verily they are assembled in this city against thy holy Son Jeshu, whom thou hast anointed, -Herodes and Pilatos with the Gentiles and the synagogue of Israel,
28 to do whatever your hand and your counsel foreordained to happen.
to work whatsoever thy hand and thy will have signified before should be done.
29 Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,
And now also, Lord, behold and see their threatenings, and give unto thy servants with boldness to preach thy word,
30 while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.”
while thy hand thou outstretchest unto healings and mighty works which they shall do in the name of thy holy Son Jeshu.
31 When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
And as they prayed and supplicated, the place in which they were assembled was moved, and they were all filled with the Spirit of Holiness, and they spake with openness the word of Aloha.
32 The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.
BUT to the assembly of the men who believed there was one soul and one mind; and no man of them said of the goods which he possessed that they were his own, but all whatever they had was in common.
33 With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.
And with great power did those apostles testify concerning the resurrection of Jeshu Meshiha, and great grace was with all of them.
34 For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,
And no man of them had want; for they who possessed fields and houses sold, and brought the prices of whatever was sold
35 and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.
and laid at the feet of the apostles, and there was given to each according to that which was needed.
36 Joses, who by the apostles was also called Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,
But Jauseph, who was entitled Bar Naba by the apostles, which is interpreted, A son of consolation, a Levoya from the Isle of Kypros,
37 having a field, sold it and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
had a field, and he sold it, and brought its price and laid before the feet of the apostles.
