Acts 5
1 But, a certain man, Ananias by name, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
MAS un varon llamado Ananías, con Safira su mujer, vendió una posesion,
2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it; and, bringing a certain part, at the feet of the Apostles, he laid it.
Y defraudó del precio, sabiéndo[lo] tambien su mujer; y trayendo una parte, púso[la] á los piés de los apóstoles.
3 But Peter said—Ananias! wherefore did Satan fill thy heart, that thou shouldst deal falsely with the Holy Spirit, and keep back part of the price of the field?
Y dijo Pedro: Ananías, ¿Por qué ha llenado Satanás tu corazon á que mintieses al Espíritu Santo, y defraudases del precio de la heredad?
4 While it remained, was it not, as thine own, it remained? and, when sold, was it not, in thine own authority, that it still continued? Why was it that thou didst contrive in thy heart this deed? Thou hast not dealt falsely with men but, with God.
Reteniéndola ¿no se te quedaba á tí? y vendida, ¿no estaba [el precio] en tu potestad? ¿Por qué pusiste esto en tu corazon? No has mentido á los hombres, sino á Dios.
5 And, as Ananias heard these words, he fell, and expired. And there came great fear upon all that heard;
Entónces Ananías, oyendo estas palabras, cayó, y espiró. Y vino un gran temor sobre todos los que lo oyeron.
6 But the young men, rising up, wrapped him about, and, bearing him forth, buried him.
Y levantándose los mancebos le tomaron; y sacándo[lo, ] sepultáron[le.]
7 And it came to pass, after about three hours interval, that his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
Y pasado espacio como de tres horas, sucedió que entró su mujer, no sabiendo lo que habia acontecido.
8 And Peter began to say unto her—Tell me! was it, for so much, ye gave up the field? And she said—Yea! for so much.
Entónces Pedro le dijo: Díme: ¿vendísteis en tanto la heredad? Y ella dijo: Sí, en tanto.
9 And, Peter, [said] unto her—Why was it agreed by you to put to the proof the Spirit of the Lord? Lo! the feet of them that have buried thy husband, are at the door, and they shall bear thee forth.
Y Pedro le dijo: ¿Por qué os concertásteis para tentar al Espíritu del Señor? Hé aquí á la puerta los piés de los que han sepultado á tu marido, y te sacarán [á sepultar.]
10 And she fell instantly at his feet, and expired. And the young men, coming in, found her dead; and, bearing her forth, they buried her with her husband.
Y luego cayó á los piés de él, y espiró: y entrados los mancebos, la hallaron^ muerta; y [la] sacaron, y [la] sepultaron junto á su marido.
11 And there came great fear upon the whole assembly, and upon all them that heard these things.
Y vino un gran temor en toda la iglesia y en todos los que oyeron estas cosas.
12 And, through the hands of the Apostles, were coming to pass many signs and wonders among the people; and they were all with one accord in the portico of Solomon;
Y por las manos de los apóstoles eran hechos muchos milagros y prodigios en el pueblo; (y estaban todos unánimes en el pórtico de Salomon:
13 Howbeit, of the rest, no one, durst join himself unto them, —nevertheless the people continued to magnify them;
Y de los otros, ninguno osaba juntarse con ellos; mas el pueblo los alababa grandemente.
14 And, the more, were being added, when they believed in the Lord, throngs both of men and women; —
Y los que creian en el Señor se aumentaban mas, gran número así de hombres como de mujeres: )
15 So that, even into the broad-ways, were they bringing forth the sick, and laying them on small couches and beds, in order that, if Peter were coming along, even perchance his shadow, might overshadow some one of them.
Tanto que echaban los enfermos por las calles, y [los] ponian en camas y en lechos, para que viniendo Pedro, á lo ménos su sombra tocase á alguno de ellos.
16 Moreover even the throng of the cities all round Jerusalem was coming together, bearing sick folk, and such as were harassed by impure spirits, —who, indeed, were being cured, one and all.
Y aun de las ciudades vecinas concurria multitud á Jerusalem, trayendo enfermos, y atormentados de espíritus inmundos, los cuales todos eran curados.
17 But the High-priest, arising, and all who were with him, —being the sect of the Sadducees, —were filled with jealousy,
Entónces levantándose el príncipe de los sacerdotes, y todos los que estaban con él, que es la secta de los Saducéos, se llenaron de zelo,
18 And thrust their hands upon the Apostles, and put them in a public ward.
Y echaron mano á los apóstoles, y pusiéronlos en la cárcel pública.
19 But, a messenger of the Lord, by night, opened the doors of the prison; and, leading them out, said—
Mas el ángel del Señor, abriendo de noche las puertas de la cárcel, y sacándoles, dijo:
20 Be going your way, and, taking your stand, be speaking, in the temple, unto the people, all the declarations of this Life.
Id, y estando en el templo, hablad al pueblo todas las palabras de esta vida.
21 Now, when they heard this, they entered, under the dawn, into the temple, and began teaching. And the High-priest and they who were with him, arriving, called together the high-council, and all the senate of the sons of Israel; and sent off unto the prison, to have them brought.
Y oido que hubieron [esto, ] entraron de mañana en el templo, y enseñaban. Entretanto viniendo el príncipe de los sacerdotes, y los que eran con él, convocaron el concilio, y á todos los ancianos de los hijos de Israel, y enviaron á la cárcel para que fues
22 And, the officers who came to the place, found them not in the prison; and, returning, brought tidings,
Mas como llegaron los ministros, y no les hallaron en la cárcel, volvieron, y dieron aviso,
23 Saying—The prison, found we locked with all safety, and the keepers standing at the doors; but, when we had opened the prison, inside, found we, no one.
Diciendo: Por cierto la cárcel hemos hallado cerrada con toda seguridad, y los guardas que estaban delante de las puertas, mas cuando abrimos, á nadie hallamos dentro.
24 Now, when both the captain of the temple and the High-priests heard these words, they were utterly at a loss concerning them—what perhaps this might come to.
Y cuando oyeron estas palabras el pontífice y el magistrado del templo, y los príncipes de los sacerdotes, dudaban en qué vendria á parar aquello.
25 But some one, entering, brought tidings unto them—Lo! the men whom ye put in the prison, are in the temple, standing, and teaching the people!
Pero viniendo uno, dióles [esta] noticia: Hé aquí los varones que echásteis en la cárcel, están en el templo, y enseñan al pueblo.
26 Then, the captain with the officers, departing, brought them—not with violence, —for they were afraid of the people, lest they should be stoned;
Entónces fué el magistrado con los ministros, y trájoles sin violencia, porque temian del pueblo ser apedreados.
27 But, leading them in, set them in the high- council. And the High-priest questioned them,
Y como los trajeron, [los] presentaron en el concilio; y el príncipe de los sacerdotes les preguntó,
28 Saying—Strictly, did we charge you not to be teaching upon this name; and lo! ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and are minded to bring down upon us, the blood of this man.
Diciendo: ¿No os denunciamos estrechamente, que no enseñaseis en este nombre, y hé aquí habeis llenado á Jerusalem de vuestra doctrina, y quereis echar sobre nosotros la sangre de este hombre.
29 But Peter and the Apostles, answering, said—It is needful to be yielding obedience unto God rather than unto men: —
Y respondiendo Pedro y los apóstoles, dijeron: Es menester obedecer á Dios ántes que á los hombres.
30 The God of our fathers, hath raised up Jesus, —whom, ye, got into your hands, suspending him upon a tree: —
El Dios de nuestros padres levantó a Jesus, al cual vosotros matásteis colgándole en un madero.
31 Him, as Princely-leader and Saviour, hath God exalted unto his right hand, —to give repentance unto Israel, and remission of sins.
A este ha Dios ensalzado con su diestra por Príncipe y Salvador, para dar á Israel arrepentimiento y remision de pecados.
32 And, we, are witnesses of these things, —also the Holy Spirit, which God hath given unto them who are yielding obedience unto him.
Y nosotros somos testigos suyos de estas cosas, y tambien el Espíritu Santo, el cual ha dado Dios á los que le obedecen.
33 And, they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were making up their minds to slay them.
Ellos oyendo [esto] regañaban, y consultaban matarles.
34 But a certain man, rising up in the high-council, by name Gamaliel, a law-teacher honoured by all the people, gave orders to put the men, outside, for a little, —
Entónces levantándose en el concilio un Fariséo, llamado Gamaliel, doctor de la ley, venerable á todo el pueblo, mandó que sacasen fuera un poco á los apóstoles;
35 And said unto them—Men of Israel! be taking heed unto yourselves, what ye are about to inflict upon these men.
Y les dijo: Varones Israelitas, mirad por vosotros acerca de estos hombres en lo que habeis de hacer.
36 For, before these days, there rose up one Theudas, affirming, himself, to be somebody, —unto whom was inclined a number of men, about four hundred; who was slain, and, all as many as had been trusting in him, were disbanded, and came to nothing.
Porque ántes de estos dias se levantó [un] Teudas, diciendo que era alguien; al que se agregó un número de hombres, como cuatrocientos; el cual fué matado, y todos los que le creyeron fueron dispersos, y reducidos á nada.
37 After him, rose up Judas the Galilaean, in the days of the enrolling, and drew a people into revolt after him; and, he, perished, and, all, as many as had trusted in him, were scattered.
Despues de este se levantó Júdas el Galiléo en los dias del empadronamiento, y llevó mucho pueblo tras sí. Pereció tambien aquel, y todos los que consintieron con el fueron derramados.
38 Now, therefore, I say unto you—stand aloof from these men, and let them alone; because if, of men, be this project or this work, it will be overthrown, —
Y ahora os digo: Dejáos de estos hombres, y dejadles; porque si este consejo, ó esta obra es de los hombres, se desvanecerá;
39 But, if it is, of God, ye will not be able to overthrow them: lest once, even fighters against God, ye be found.
Mas si es de Dios, no la podreis deshacer: [mirad] no seais tal vez hallados resistiendo á Dios.
40 And they were persuaded by him; and, calling unto them the Apostles, they, with beating, charged them not be speaking upon the name of Jesus; and let them go.
Y convinieron con él: y llamando á los apóstoles, despues de azotados, [les] intimaron que no hablasen en el nombre de Jesus, y soltáronlos.
41 They, therefore, went rejoicing from the presence of the high-council; in that they had been accounted worthy, in behalf of The Name, to suffer dishonour.
Y ellos partieron de delante del concilio, gozosos de que fuesen tenidos por dignos de padecer afrenta por el nombre de [Jesus.]
42 And, every day in the temple, and at home, they ceased not to be teaching, and telling the good news as to the Anointed Jesus.
Y todos los dias, en el templo. y por las casas, no cesaban de enseñar y predicar á Jesu-Cristo.
