Acts of the Apostles 5

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 A man named Ananias, however, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property.	1 Ανθρωπος δε τις Ανανιας το ονομα μετα της γυναικος αυτου Σαπφειρης επωλησε κτημα
2 He retained for himself, with his wife's knowledge, some of the purchase price, took the remainder, and put it at the feet of the apostles.	2 και εκρατησεν απο της τιμης, εν γνωσει και της γυναικος αυτου, και φερων μερος τι εθεσεν εις τους ποδας των αποστολων.
3 But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart so that you lied to the holy Spirit and retained part of the price of the land?	3 Ειπε δε ο Πετρος? Ανανια, δια τι εγεμισεν ο Σατανας την καρδιαν σου, ωστε να ψευσθης εις το Πνευμα το Αγιον και να κρατησης απο της τιμης του αγρου;
4 While it remained unsold, did it not remain yours? And when it was sold, was it not still under your control? Why did you contrive this deed? You have lied not to human beings, but to God."	4 Ενω εμενε, δεν ητο σου; και αφου επωληθη, δεν ητο εν τη εξουσια σου; δια τι εβαλες εν τη καρδια σου το πραγμα τουτο; δεν εψευσθης εις ανθρωπους, αλλ' εις τον Θεον.
5 When Ananias heard these words, he fell down and breathed his last, and great fear came upon all who heard of it.	5 Ενω δε ηκουεν ο Ανανιας τους λογους τουτους, επεσε και εξεψυχησε, και επεπεσε φοβος μεγας επι παντας τους ακουοντας ταυτα.
6 The young men came and wrapped him up, then carried him out and buried him.	6 Σηκωθεντες δε οι νεωτεροι, ετυλιξαν αυτον και εκβαλοντες εθαψαν.
7 After an interval of about three hours, his wife came in, unaware of what had happened.	7 Μετα δε περιπου τρεις ωρας εισηλθεν η γυνη αυτου, μη εξευρουσα το γεγονος.
8 Peter said to her, "Tell me, did you sell the land for this amount?" She answered, "Yes, for that amount."	8 Και απεκριθη προς αυτην ο Πετρος? Ειπε μοι, δια τοσον επωλησατε τον αγρον; Και εκεινη ειπε? Ναι, δια τοσον.
9 Then Peter said to her, "Why did you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen, the footsteps of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out."	9 Και ο Πετρος ειπε προς αυτην? Δια τι συνεφωνησατε να πειραζητε το Πνευμα του Κυριου; ιδου, εις την θυραν οι ποδες των θαψαντων τον ανδρα σου και θελουσιν εκβαλει και σε.
10 At once, she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. When the young men entered they found her dead, so they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.	10 Και επεσε παρευθυς εις τους ποδας αυτου και εξεψυχησεν? εισελθοντες δε οι νεανισκοι, ευρον αυτην νεκραν και εκβαλοντες εθαψαν πλησιον του ανδρος αυτης.
11 And great fear came upon the whole church and upon all who heard of these things.	11 Και επεπεσε φοβος μεγας εφ' ολην την εκκλησιαν και επι παντας τους ακουοντας ταυτα.
12 Many signs and wonders were done among the people at the hands of the apostles. They were all together in Solomon's portico.	12 Πολλα δε σημεια και τερατα εγινοντο εν τω λαω δια των χειρων των αποστολων? και ησαν ομοθυμαδον απαντες εν τη στοα του Σολομωντος.
13 None of the others dared to join them, but the people esteemed them.	13 Εκ δε των λοιπων ουδεις ετολμα να προσκολληθη εις αυτους, ο λαος ομως εμεγαλυνεν αυτους?
14 Yet more than ever, believers in the Lord, great numbers of men and women, were added to them.	14 και προσετιθεντο μαλλον πιστευοντες εις τον Κυριον, πληθη ανδρων τε και γυναικων,
15 Thus they even carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on cots and mats so that when Peter came by, at least his shadow might fall on one or another of them.	15 ωστε εφερον εξω εις τας πλατειας τους ασθενεις και εθετον επι κλινων και κραββατων, δια να επισκιαση καν η σκια του Πετρου ερχομενου τινα εξ αυτων.
16 A large number of people from the towns in the vicinity of Jerusalem also gathered, bringing the sick and those disturbed by unclean spirits, and they were all cured.	16 Συνηρχετο δε και το πληθος των περιξ πολεων εις Ιερουσαλημ φεροντες ασθενεις και ενοχλουμενους υπο πνευματων ακαθαρτων, οιτινες εθεραπευοντο απαντες.
17 Then the high priest rose up and all his companions, that is, the party of the Sadducees, and, filled with jealousy,	17 Και σηκωθεις ο αρχιερευς και παντες οι μετ' αυτου, οιτινες ησαν αιρεσις των Σαδδουκαιων, επλησθησαν ζηλου
18 laid hands upon the apostles and put them in the public jail.	18 και επεβαλον τας χειρας αυτων επι τους αποστολους, και εβαλον αυτους εις δημοσιαν φυλακην.
19 But during the night, the angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison, led them out, and said,	19 Αγγελος ομως Κυριου δια της νυκτος ηνοιξε τας θυρας της φυλακης, και εκβαλων αυτους ειπεν.
20 "Go and take your place in the temple area, and tell the people everything about this life."	20 Υπαγετε, και σταθεντες λαλειτε εν τω ιερω προς τον λαον παντας τους λογους της ζωης ταυτης.
21 When they heard this, they went to the temple early in the morning and taught. When the high priest and his companions arrived, they convened the Sanhedrin, the full senate of the Israelites, and sent to the jail to have them brought in.	21 Και ακουσαντες εισηλθον την αυγην εις το ιερον και εδιδασκον. Ελθων δε ο αρχιερευς και οι μετ' αυτου, συνεκαλεσαν το συνεδριον και ολην την γερουσιαν των υιων του Ισραηλ και εστειλαν εις το δεσμωτηριον, δια να φερωσιν αυτους.
22 But the court officers who went did not find them in the prison, so they came back and reported,	22 Οι δε υπηρεται ελθοντες δεν ευρον αυτους εν τη φυλακη, και επιστρεψαντες απηγγειλαν,
23 "We found the jail securely locked and the guards stationed outside the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside."	23 λεγοντες οτι το μεν δεσμωτηριον ευρομεν κεκλεισμενον μετα πασης ασφαλειας, και τους φυλακας ισταμενους εξω εμπροσθεν των θυρων, ανοιξαντες δε ουδενα ευρομεν εσω.
24 When they heard this report, the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests were at a loss about them, as to what this would come to.	24 Ως δε ηκουσαν τους λογους τουτους και ο ιερευς και ο στρατηγος του ιερου και οι αρχιερεις, ησαν εν απορια περι αυτων εις τι εμελλε να καταντηση τουτο.
25 Then someone came in and reported to them, "The men whom you put in prison are in the temple area and are teaching the people."	25 Και ελθων τις απηγγειλε προς αυτους, λεγων οτι ιδου, οι ανθρωποι, τους οποιους εβαλετε εις την φυλακην, ιστανται εν τω ιερω και διδασκουσι τον λαον.
26 Then the captain and the court officers went and brought them in, but without force, because they were afraid of being stoned by the people.	26 Τοτε υπηγεν ο στρατηγος μετα των υπηρετων και εφερεν αυτους, ουχι μετα βιας? διοτι εφοβουντο τον λαον, μη λιθοβοληθωσι.
27 When they had brought them in and made them stand before the Sanhedrin, the high priest questioned them,	27 Και αφου εφεραν αυτους, εστησαν εν τω συνεδριω. Και ηρωτησεν αυτους ο αρχιερευς
28 "We gave you strict orders (did we not?) to stop teaching in that name. Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and want to bring this man's blood upon us."	28 λεγων? Δεν σας παρηγγειλαμεν ρητως να μη διδασκητε εν τω ονοματι τουτω; και ιδου, εγεμισατε την Ιερουσαλημ απο της διδαχης σας, και θελετε να φερητε εφ' ημας το αιμα του ανθρωπου τουτου.
29 But Peter and the apostles said in reply, "We must obey God rather than men.	29 Αποκριθεις δε ο Πετρος και οι αποστολοι, ειπον? Πρεπει να πειθαρχωμεν εις τον Θεον μαλλον παρα εις τους ανθρωπους.
30 The God of our ancestors raised Jesus, though you had him killed by hanging him on a tree.	30 Ο Θεος των πατερων ημων ανεστησε τον Ιησουν, τον οποιον σεις εθανατωσατε κρεμασαντες επι ξυλου?
31 God exalted him at his right hand as leader and savior to grant Israel repentance and forgiveness of sins.	31 τουτον ο Θεος υψωσε δια της δεξιας αυτου Αρχηγον και Σωτηρα, δια να δωση μετανοιαν εις τον Ισραηλ και αφεσιν αμαρτιων.
32 We are witnesses of these things, as is the holy Spirit that God has given to those who obey him."	32 Και ημεις ειμεθα μαρτυρες αυτου περι των λογων τουτων, και το Πνευμα δε το Αγιον, το οποιον εδωκεν ο Θεος εις τους πειθαρχουντας εις αυτον.
33 When they heard this, they became infuriated and wanted to put them to death.	33 Οι δε ακουσαντες ετριζον τους οδοντας και εβουλευοντο να θανατωσωσιν αυτους.
34 But a Pharisee in the Sanhedrin named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, respected by all the people, stood up, ordered the men to be put outside for a short time,	34 Σηκωθεις δε εν τω συνεδριω Φαρισαιος τις Γαμαλιηλ το ονομα, νομοδιδασκαλος τιμωμενος υπο παντος του λαου, προσεταξε να εκβαλωσι τους αποστολους δι' ολιγην ωραν,
35 and said to them, "Fellow Israelites, be careful what you are about to do to these men.	35 και ειπε προς αυτους? Ανδρες Ισραηλιται, προσεχετε εις εαυτους περι των ανθρωπων τουτων τι μελλετε να πραξητε.
36 Some time ago, Theudas appeared, claiming to be someone important, and about four hundred men joined him, but he was killed, and all those who were loyal to him were disbanded and came to nothing.	36 Διοτι προ τουτων των ημερων εσηκωθη ο Θευδας, λεγων εαυτον οτι ειναι μεγας τις, εις τον οποιον προσεκολληθη αριθμος ανδρων εως τετρακοσιων? οστις εφονευθη, και παντες οσοι επειθοντο εις αυτον διελυθησαν και κατηντησαν εις ουδεν.
37 After him came Judas the Galilean at the time of the census. He also drew people after him, but he too perished and all who were loyal to him were scattered.	37 Μετα τουτον εσηκωθη Ιουδας ο Γαλιλαιος εν ταις ημεραις της απογραφης και εσυρεν οπισω αυτου αρκετον λαον? και εκεινος απωλεσθη, και παντες οσοι επειθοντο εις αυτον διεσκορπισθησαν.
38 So now I tell you, have nothing to do with these men, and let them go. For if this endeavor or this activity is of human origin, it will destroy itself.	38 Και τωρα σας λεγω, απεχετε απο των ανθρωπων τουτων και αφησατε αυτους? διοτι εαν η βουλη αυτη η το εργον τουτο ηναι εξ ανθρωπων, θελει ματαιωθη?
39 But if it comes from God, you will not be able to destroy them; you may even find yourselves fighting against God." They were persuaded by him.	39 εαν ομως ηναι εκ Θεου, δεν δυνασθε να ματαιωσητε αυτο, και προσεχετε μηπως ευρεθητε και θεομαχοι. Και επεισθησαν εις αυτον,
40 After recalling the apostles, they had them flogged, ordered them to stop speaking in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them.	40 και προσκαλεσαντες τους αποστολους, εδειραν και παρηγγειλαν να μη λαλωσιν εν τω ονοματι του Ιησου, και απελυσαν αυτους.
41 So they left the presence of the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that they had been found worthy to suffer dishonor for the sake of the name.	41 Εκεινοι λοιπον ανεχωρουν απο προσωπου του συνεδριου, χαιροντες οτι υπερ του ονοματος αυτου ηξιωθησαν να ατιμασθωσι.
42 And all day long, both at the temple and in their homes, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the Messiah, Jesus.	42 Και πασαν ημεραν εν τω ιερω και κατ' οικον δεν επαυον διδασκοντες και ευαγγελιζομενοι τον Ιησουν Χριστον.
