Acts 5
1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
tadA anAniyanAmaka eko jano yasya bhAryyAyA nAma saphIrA sa svAdhikAraM vikrIya
2 and kept back part of the price, his wife also being aware of it, then brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
svabhAryyAM jJApayitvA tanmUlyasyaikAMzaM saGgopya sthApayitvA tadanyAMzamAtramAnIya preritAnAM caraNeSu samarpitavAn|
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?
tasmAt pitarokathayat he anAniya bhUme rmUlyaM kiJcit saGgopya sthApayituM pavitrasyAtmanaH sannidhau mRSAvAkyaM kathayituJca zaitAn kutastavAntaHkaraNe pravRttimajanayat?
4 While you kept it, didn’t it remain your own? After it was sold, wasn’t it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You haven’t lied to men, but to God.”

5 Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard these things.

6 The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.

7 About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
tataH praharaikAnantaraM kiM vRttaM tannAvagatya tasya bhAryyApi tatra samupasthitA|
8 Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” She said, “Yes, for so much.”
tataH pitarastAm apRcchat, yuvAbhyAm etAvanmudrAbhyo bhUmi rvikrItA na vA? etatvaM vada; tadA sA pratyavAdIt satyam etAvadbhyo mudrAbhya eva|
9 But Peter asked her, “How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”

10 She fell down immediately at his feet and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.

11 Great fear came on the whole assembly, and on all who heard these things.

12 By the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. They were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.

13 None of the rest dared to join them; however, the people honored them.

14 More believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women.

15 They even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mattresses, so that as Peter came by, at least his shadow might overshadow some of them.

16 The multitude also came together from the cities around Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits; and they were all healed.

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

18 and laid hands on the apostles, then put them in public custody.

19 But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out and said,
kintu rAtrau paramezvarasya dUtaH kArAyA dvAraM mocayitvA tAn bahirAnIyAkathayat,
20 “Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.”
yUyaM gatvA mandire daNDAyamAnAH santo lokAn pratImAM jIvanadAyikAM sarvvAM kathAM pracArayata|
21 When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak and taught. But the high priest and those who were with him came and called the council together, with all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
iti zrutvA te pratyUSe mandira upasthAya upadiSTavantaH| tadA sahacaragaNena sahito mahAyAjaka Agatya mantrigaNam isrAyelvaMzasya sarvvAn rAjasabhAsadaH sabhAsthAn kRtvA kArAyAstAn ApayituM padAtigaNaM preritavAn|
22 But the officers who came didn’t find them in the prison. They returned and reported,
tataste gatvA kArAyAM tAn aprApya pratyAgatya iti vArttAm avAdiSuH,
23 “We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside!”

24 Now when the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were very perplexed about them and what might become of this.
etAM kathAM zrutvA mahAyAjako mandirasya senApatiH pradhAnayAjakAzca, ita paraM kimaparaM bhaviSyatIti cintayitvA sandigdhacittA abhavan|
25 One came and told them, “Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people.”
etasminneva samaye kazcit jana Agatya vArttAmetAm avadat pazyata yUyaM yAn mAnavAn kArAyAm asthApayata te mandire tiSThanto lokAn upadizanti|
26 Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.
tadA mandirasya senApatiH padAtayazca tatra gatvA cellokAH pASANAn nikSipyAsmAn mArayantIti bhiyA vinatyAcAraM tAn Anayan|
27 When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them,
te mahAsabhAyA madhye tAn asthApayan tataH paraM mahAyAjakastAn apRcchat,
28 saying, “Didn’t we strictly command you not to teach in this name? Behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood on us.”

29 But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.
tataH pitaronyapreritAzca pratyavadan mAnuSasyAjJAgrahaNAd IzvarasyAjJAgrahaNam asmAkamucitam|
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.
yaM yIzuM yUyaM kruze vedhitvAhata tam asmAkaM paitRka Izvara utthApya
31 God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.

32 We are his witnesses of these things; and so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”
etasmin vayamapi sAkSiNa Asmahe, tat kevalaM nahi, Izvara AjJAgrAhibhyo yaM pavitram AtmanaM dattavAn sopi sAkSyasti|
33 But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were determined to kill them.

34 But one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honored by all the people, and commanded to put the apostles out for a little while.
etasminneva samaye tatsabhAsthAnAM sarvvalokAnAM madhye sukhyAto gamilIyelnAmaka eko jano vyavasthApakaH phirUziloka utthAya preritAn kSaNArthaM sthAnAntaraM gantum Adizya kathitavAn,
35 He said to them, “You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do.

36 For before these days Theudas rose up, making himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves. He was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed and came to nothing.

37 After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the enrollment, and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.

38 Now I tell you, withdraw from these men and leave them alone. For if this counsel or this work is of men, it will be overthrown.

39 But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow it, and you would be found even to be fighting against God!”
yadIzvarAdabhavat tarhi yUyaM tasyAnyathA karttuM na zakSyatha, varam IzvararodhakA bhaviSyatha|
40 They agreed with him. Summoning the apostles, they beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
tadA tasya mantraNAM svIkRtya te preritAn AhUya prahRtya yIzo rnAmnA kAmapi kathAM kathayituM niSidhya vyasarjan|
41 They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for Jesus’ name.
kintu tasya nAmArthaM vayaM lajjAbhogasya yogyatvena gaNitA ityatra te sAnandAH santaH sabhAsthAnAM sAkSAd agacchan|
42 Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and preaching Jesus, the Christ.
