Atti degli Apostoli - Acts 4

GREEK BIBLE	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Ενω δε αυτοι ελαλουν προς τον λαον, ηλθον επ' αυτους οι ιερεις και ο στρατηγος του ιερου και οι Σαδδουκαιοι,	1 But while they were speaking to the people, the priests and the magistrate of the temple and the Sadducees overwhelmed them,
2 αγανακτουντες διοτι εδιδασκον τον λαον και εκηρυττον δια του Ιησου την εκ νεκρων αναστασιν?	2 being grieved that they were teaching the people and announcing in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
3 και επεβαλον επ' αυτους τας χειρας και εθεσαν υπο φυλαξιν εως της αυριον, διοτι ητο ηδη εσπερα.	3 And they laid hands on them, and they placed them under guard until the next day. For it was now evening.
4 Πολλοι δε των ακουσαντων τον λογον επιστευσαν, και εγεινεν ο αριθμος των ανδρων ως πεντε χιλιαδες.	4 But many of those who had heard the word believed. And the number of men became five thousand.
5 Και τη επαυριον συνηχθησαν εις την Ιερουσαλημ οι αρχοντες αυτων και οι πρεσβυτεροι και οι γραμματεις,	5 And it happened on the next day that their leaders and elders and scribes gathered together in Jerusalem,
6 και Αννας ο αρχιερευς και Καιαφας και Ιωαννης και Αλεξανδρος και οσοι ησαν εκ γενους αρχιερατικου.	6 including Annas, the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John and Alexander, and as many as were of the priestly family.
7 Και στησαντες αυτους εις το μεσον, ηρωτων? Δια ποιας δυναμεως η δια ποιου ονοματος επραξατε τουτο σεις;	7 And stationing them in the middle, they questioned them: “By what power, or in whose name, have you done this?”
8 Τοτε ο Πετρος, πλησθεις Πνευματος Αγιου, ειπε προς αυτους? Αρχοντες του λαου και πρεσβυτεροι του Ισραηλ,	8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Leaders of the people and elders, listen.
9 εαν ημεις ανακρινωμεθα σημερον δια ευεργεσιαν προς ανθρωπον ασθενουντα, δια ποιας δυναμεως ουτος ιατρευθη,	9 If we today are judged by a good deed done to an infirm man, by which he has been made whole,
10 ας ηναι γνωστον εις παντας υμας και εις παντα τον λαον του Ισραηλ οτι δια του ονοματος του Ιησου Χριστου του Ναζωραιου, τον οποιον σεις εσταυρωσατε, τον οποιον ο Θεος ανεστησεν εκ νεκρων, δια τουτου παρισταται ουτος ενωπιον υμων υγιης.	10 let it be known to all of you and to all of the people of Israel, that in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God has raised from the dead, by him, this man stands before you, healthy.
11 Ουτος ειναι ο λιθος ο εξουθενηθεις εφ' υμων των οικοδομουντων, οστις εγεινε κεφαλη γωνιας.	11 He is the stone, which was rejected by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.
12 Και δεν υπαρχει δι' ουδενος αλλου η σωτηρια? διοτι ουτε ονομα αλλο ειναι υπο τον ουρανον δεδομενον μεταξυ των ανθρωπων, δια του οποιου πρεπει να σωθωμεν.	12 And there is no salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, by which it is necessary for us to be saved.”
13 Θεωρουντες δε την παρρησιαν του Πετρου και Ιωαννου, και πληροφορηθεντες οτι ειναι ανθρωποι αγραμματοι και ιδιωται, εθαυμαζον και ανεγνωριζον αυτους οτι ησαν μετα του Ιησου?	13 Then, seeing the constancy of Peter and John, having verified that they were men without letters or learning, they wondered. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus.
14 βλεποντες δε τον ανθρωπον τον τεθεραπευμενον ισταμενον μετ' αυτων, δεν ειχον ουδεν να αντειπωσι.	14 Also, seeing the man who had been cured standing with them, they were unable to say anything to contradict them.
15 Προσταξαντες δε αυτους να απελθωσιν εξω του συνεδριου, συνεβουλευθησαν προς αλληλους,	15 But they ordered them to withdraw outside, away from the council, and they conferred among themselves,
16 λεγοντες? Τι θελομεν καμει εις τους ανθρωπους τουτους; επειδη οτι μεν εγεινε δι' αυτων γνωστον θαυμα, ειναι φανερον εις παντας τους κατοικουντας την Ιερουσαλημ, και δεν δυναμεθα να αρνηθωμεν τουτο?	16 saying: “What shall we do to these men? For certainly a public sign has been done through them, before all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. It is manifest, and we cannot deny it.
17 αλλα δια να μη διαδοθη περισσοτερον εις τον λαον, ας απειλησωμεν αυτους αυστηρως να μη λαλωσι πλεον εν τω ονοματι τουτω προς μηδενα ανθρωπον.	17 But lest it spread further among the people, let us threaten them not to speak anymore in this name to any man.”
18 Και καλεσαντες αυτους, παρηγγειλαν εις αυτους να μη λαλωσι καθολου μηδε να διδασκωσιν εν τω ονοματι του Ιησου.	18 And calling them in, they warned them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
19 Ο δε Πετρος και Ιωαννης αποκριθεντες προς αυτους, ειπον? Αν ηναι δικαιον ενωπιον του Θεου να ακουωμεν εσας μαλλον παρα τον Θεον, κρινατε.	19 Yet truly, Peter and John said in response to them: “Judge whether it is just in the sight of God to listen to you, rather than to God.
20 Διοτι ημεις δεν δυναμεθα να μη λαλωμεν οσα ειδομεν και ηκουσαμεν.	20 For we are unable to refrain from speaking the things that we have seen and heard.”
21 Οι δε, παλιν απειλησαντες αυτους απελυσαν, μη ευρισκοντες το πως να τιμωρησωσιν αυτους, δια τον λαον, διοτι παντες εδοξαζον τον Θεον δια το γεγονος.	21 But they, threatening them, sent them away, having not found a way that they might punish them because of the people. For all were glorifying the things that had been done in these events.
22 Επειδη ο ανθρωπος, εις τον οποιον εγεινε το θαυμα τουτο της θεραπειας, ητο περισσοτερον των τεσσαρακοντα ετων.	22 For the man in whom this sign of a cure had been accomplished was more than forty years old.
23 Και αφου απελυθησαν, ηλθον προς τους οικειους και απηγγειλαν οσα ειπον προς αυτους οι αρχιερεις και οι πρεσβυτεροι.	23 Then, having been released, they went to their own, and they reported in full what the leaders of the priests and the elders had said to them.
24 Οι δε ακουσαντες, ομοθυμαδον υψωσαν την φωνην προς τον Θεον και ειπον? Δεσποτα, συ εισαι ο Θεος, οστις εκαμες τον ουρανον και την γην και την θαλασσαν και παντα τα εν αυτοις,	24 And when they had heard it, with one accord, they lifted up their voice to God, and they said: “Lord, you are the One who made heaven and earth, the sea and all that is in them,
25 οστις ειπας δια στοματος Δαβιδ του δουλου σου? Δια τι εφρυαξαν τα εθνη και οι λαοι εμελετησαν ματαια;	25 who, by the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David, your servant, said: ‘Why have the Gentiles been seething, and why have the people been pondering nonsense?
26 παρεσταθησαν οι βασιλεις της γης και οι αρχοντες συνηχθησαν ομου κατα του Κυριου και κατα του Χριστου αυτου.	26 The kings of the earth have stood up, and the leaders have joined together as one, against the Lord and against his Christ.’
27 Διοτι συνηχθησαν επ' αληθειας εναντιον του αγιου Παιδος σου Ιησου, τον οποιον εχρισας, και ο Ηρωδης και ο Ποντιος Πιλατος μετα των εθνων και των λαων του Ισραηλ,	27 For truly Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, joined together in this city against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed
28 δια να καμωσιν οσα η χειρ σου και η βουλη σου προωρισε να γεινωσι?	28 to do what your hand and your counsel had decreed would be done.
29 και τωρα, Κυριε, βλεψον εις τας απειλας αυτων και δος εις τους δουλους σου να λαλωσι τον λογον σου μετα πασης παρρησιας,	29 And now, O Lord, look upon their threats, and grant to your servants that they may speak your word with all confidence,
30 εκτεινων την χειρα σου εις θεραπειαν και γινομενων σημειων και τεραστιων δια του ονοματος του αγιου Παιδος σου Ιησου.	30 by extending your hand in cures and signs and miracles, to be done through the name of your holy Son, Jesus.”
31 Μετα δε την δεησιν αυτων εσεισθη ο τοπος οπου ησαν συνηγμενοι, και επλησθησαν απαντες Πνευματος Αγιου και ελαλουν τον λογον του Θεου μετα παρρησιας.	31 And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered was moved. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. And they were speaking the Word of God with confidence.
32 Του δε πληθους των πιστευσαντων η καρδια και η ψυχη ητο μια, και ουδε εις ελεγεν οτι ειναι εαυτου τι εκ των υπαρχοντων αυτου αλλ' ειχον τα παντα κοινα.	32 Then the multitude of believers were of one heart and one soul. Neither did anyone say that any of the things that he possessed were his own, but all things were common to them.
33 Και μετα δυναμεως μεγαλης απεδιδον οι αποστολοι την μαρτυριαν της αναστασεως του Κυριου Ιησου, και χαρις μεγαλη ητο επι παντας αυτους.	33 And with great power, the Apostles were rendering testimony to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord. And great grace was in them all.
34 Επειδη ουδε ητο τις μεταξυ αυτων ενδεης? διοτι οσοι ησαν κτητορες αγρων η οικιων, πωλουντες εφερον τας τιμας των πωλουμενων	34 And neither was anyone among them in need. For as many as were owners of fields or houses, selling these, were bringing the proceeds of the things that they were selling,
35 και εθετον εις τους ποδας των αποστολων? και διεμοιραζετο εις εκαστον κατα την χρειαν την οποιαν ειχε.	35 and were placing it before the feet of the Apostles. Then it was divided to each one, just as he had need.
36 Και ο Ιωσης, ο επονομασθεις υπο των αποστολων Βαρναβας, το οποιον μεθερμηνευομενον ειναι υιος παρηγοριας Λευιτης, Κυπριος το γενος,	36 Now Joseph, who the Apostles surnamed Barnabas (which is translated as ‘son of consolation’), who was a Levite of Cyprian descent,
37 εχων αγρον επωλησε και εφερε τα χρηματα και εθεσεν εις τους ποδας των αποστολων.	37 since he had land, he sold it, and he brought the proceeds and placed these at the feet of the Apostles.
