Acts 5
1 But a certaine man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, solde a possession,
Vir autem quidam nomine Ananias, cum Saphira uxore suo vendidit agrum,
2 And kept away part of the price, his wife also being of counsell, and brought a certaine part, and layde it downe at the Apostles feete.
et fraudavit de pretio agri, conscia uxore sua: et afferens partem quamdam, ad pedes Apostolorum posuit.
3 Then saide Peter, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart, that thou shouldest lye vnto the holy Ghost, and keepe away part of the price of this possession?
Dixit autem Petrus: Anania, cur tentavit satanas cor tuum, mentiri te Spiritui sancto, et fraudare de pretio agri?
4 Whiles it remained, appertained it not vnto thee? and after it was solde, was it not in thine owne power? howe is it that thou hast conceiued this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lyed vnto men, but vnto 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 Now when Ananias heard these wordes, he fell downe, and gaue vp the ghost. Then great feare came on all them that heard these things.
Audiens autem Ananias hæc verba, cecidit, et expiravit. Et factus est timor magnus super omnes, qui audierunt.
6 And the yong men rose vp, and tooke him vp, and caried him out, and buried him.
Surgentes autem iuvenes amoverunt eum, et efferentes sepelierunt.
7 And it came to passe about the space of three houres after, that his wife came in, ignorant of that which was done.
Factum est autem quasi horarum trium spatium, et uxor ipsius, nesciens quod factum fuerat, introivit.
8 And Peter sayd vnto her, Tell me, solde ye the land for so much? And she sayd, Yea, for so much.
Dixit autem ei Petrus: Dic mihi mulier, si tanti agrum vendidistis? At illa dixit: Etiam tanti.
9 Then Peter sayde vnto her, Why haue ye agreed together, to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? beholde, the feete of them which haue buried thine husband, are at the doore, and shall carie thee out.
Petrus autem ad eam: Quid utique convenit vobis tentare Spiritum Domini? Ecce pedes eorum, qui sepelierunt virum tuum ad ostium, et efferent te.
10 Then she fell downe straightway at his feete, and yeelded vp the ghost: and the yong men came in, and found her dead, and caried her out, and 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 feare came on all the Church, and on as many as heard these things.
Et factus est timor magnus in universa ecclesia, et in omnes, qui audierunt hæc.
12 Thus by the hands of the Apostles were many signes and wonders shewed among the people (and they were all with one accorde in Salomons porche.
Per manus autem Apostolorum fiebant signa, et prodigia multa in plebe. Et erant unanimiter omnes in porticu Salomonis.
13 And of the other durst no man ioyne him selfe to them: neuerthelesse the people magnified them.
Ceterorum autem nemo audebat se coniungere illis: sed magnificabat eos populus.
14 Also the number of them that beleeued in the Lord, both of men and women, grewe more and more)
Magis autem augebatur credentium in Domino multitudo virorum, ac mulierum,
15 In so much that they brought the sicke into the streetes, and layd them on beds and couches, that at the least way the shadowe of Peter, when he came by, might shadow some 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 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about vnto Hierusalem, bringing sicke folkes, and them which were vexed with vncleane spirits, who were all healed.
Concurrebat autem et multitudo vicinarum civitatum Ierusalem, afferentes ægros, et vexatos a spiritibus immundis: qui curabantur omnes.
17 Then the chiefe Priest rose vp, and all they that were with him (which was the sect of the Sadduces) and were full of indignation,
Exurgens autem princeps sacerdotum, et omnes, qui cum illo erant, (quæ est hæresis Sadducæorum) repleti sunt zelo:
18 And laide hands on the Apostles, and put them in the common prison.
et iniecerunt manus in Apostolos, et posuerunt eos in custodia publica.
19 But the Angel of the Lord, by night opened the prison doores, and brought them forth, and sayd,
Angelus autem Domini per noctem aperiens ianuas carceris, et educens eos, dixit:
20 Go your way, and stand in the Temple, and speake to the people, all the wordes of this life.
Ite, et stantes loquimini in templo plebi omnia verba vitæ huius.
21 So when they heard it, they entred into the Temple early in the morning, and taught. And the chiefe Priest came, and they that were with him, and called the Councill together, and all the Elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison, to cause them to be 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 But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and tolde it,
Cum autem venissent ministri, et aperto carcere non invenissent illos, reversi nunciaverunt,
23 Saying, Certainely we founde the prison shut as sure as was possible, and the keepers standing without, before the doores: but when we had opened, we found no man within.
dicentes: Carcerem quidem invenimus clausum cum omni diligentia, et custodes stantes ante ianuas: aperientes autem neminem intus invenimus.
24 Then when the chiefe Priest, and the captaine of the Temple, and the hie Priestes heard these things, they doubted of them, whereunto this would growe.
Ut autem audierunt hos sermones magistratus templi, et principes sacerdotum ambigebant de illis quidnam fieret.
25 Then came one and shewed them, saying, Beholde, the men that ye put in prison, are standing in the Temple, and teach the people.
Adveniens autem quidam nunciavit eis: Quia ecce viri, quos posuistis in carcerem, sunt in templo stantes, et docentes populum.
26 Then went the captaine with the officers, and brought them without violence (for they feared the people, lest they should haue bene stoned)
Tunc abiit magistratus cum ministris, et adduxit illos sine vi: timebant enim populum ne lapidarentur.
27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the Councill, and the chiefe Priest asked them,
Et cum adduxissent illos, statuerunt in concilio: Et interrogavit eos princeps sacerdotum,
28 Saying, Did not we straightly commaund you, that ye should not teach in this Name? and behold, ye haue filled Hierusale with your doctrine, and ye would bring this mans blood vpon vs.
dicens: Præcipiendo præcepimus vobis ne doceretis in nomine isto: et ecce replestis Ierusalem doctrina vestra: et vultis inducere super nos sanguinem hominis istius.
29 Then Peter and the Apostles answered, and sayd, We ought rather to obey God then men.
Respondens autem Petrus, et Apostoli, dixerunt: Obedire oportet Deo magis, quam hominibus.
30 The God of our fathers hath raised vp Iesus, whom ye slewe, and hanged on a tree.
Deus patrum nostrorum suscitavit Iesum, quem vos interemistis, suspendentes in ligno.
31 Him hath God lift vp with his right hand, to be a Prince and a Sauiour, to giue repentance to Israel, and forgiuenes of sinnes.
Hunc principem, et salvatorem Deus exaltavit dextera sua ad dandam pœnitentiam Israeli, et remissionem peccatorum.
32 And we are his witnesses concerning these things which we say: yea, and the holy Ghost, whome God hath giuen to them that obey him.
et nos sumus testes horum verborum, et Spiritus sanctus, quem dedit Deus omnibus obedientibus sibi.
33 Now when they heard it, they brast for anger, and consulted to slay them.
Hæc cum audissent, dissecabantur, et cogitabant interficere illos.
34 Then stoode there vp in the Councill a certaine Pharise named Gamaliel, a doctour of the Lawe, honoured of all the people, and commanded to put the Apostles forth a litle space,
Surgens autem quidam in concilio Pharisæus, nomine Gamaliel, legisdoctor honorabilis universæ plebi, iussit foras ad breve homines fieri.
35 And sayd vnto them, Men of Israel, take heede to your selues, what ye intende to doe touching these men.
dixitque ad illos: Viri Israelitæ attendite vobis super hominibus istis quid acturi sitis.
36 For before these times, rose vp Theudas boasting himselfe, to whom resorted a number of men, about a foure hundreth, who was slaine: and they all which obeyed him, were scattered, and brought 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 man, arose vp Iudas of Galile, in the dayes of the tribute, and drewe away much people after him: hee also perished, and all that obeyed him, were scattered abroad.
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 nowe I say vnto you, Refraine your selues from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsell, or this worke be of men, it will come to nought:
Et nunc itaque dico vobis, discedite ab hominibus istis, et sinite illos: quoniam si est ex hominibus consilium hoc, aut opus, dissolvetur:
39 But if it be of God, ye can not destroy it, lest ye be found euen fighters 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 called the Apostles: and when they had beaten them, they commanded that they should not speake in the Name of Iesus, and let them goe.
Et convocantes Apostolos, cæsis denunciaverunt ne omnino loquerentur in nomine Iesu, et dimiserunt eos.
41 So they departed from the Councill, reioycing, that they were counted worthy to suffer rebuke for his Name.
Et illi quidem ibant gaudentes a conspectu concilii, quoniam digni habiti sunt pro nomine Iesu contumeliam pati.
42 And dayly in the Temple, and from house to house they ceased not to teach, and preach Iesus Christ.
Omni autem die non cessabant in templo, et circa domos docentes, et evangelizantes Christum Iesum.
