| [1]Man one whose name was Khanan-Yah with his wife whose name was Shapira sold had his field |
[1]And a certain man whose name was Ananias, with his wife whose name was Sapphira, sold his field, |
| [2]And he took away from its price and concealed it while aware was of it his wife and he brought some of it of the money and placed it before the feet of the Apostles |
[2]and carried away [part] of the price and concealed it, his wife consenting; and he brought [a part] of the money, and laid [it] before the feet of the legates. |
| [3]And said to him Shimeon Khanan-Yah why? thus has filled Satan your heart to cheat The Spirit of Holiness and to hide some money of the proceeds of the field |
[3]And Simon said to him: Ananias, why hath Satan so filled thy heart, that thou shouldst lie against the Holy Spirit, and conceal of the money of the price of the field? |
| [4]Not? was yours it was until it was sold and from when it was sold again you authorized were over its proceeds Why? have you set your heart to do thing this not you have cheated sons of men but Alaha |
[4]Was it not thine own before it was sold? And when sold, again thou hadst authority over the price of it. Why hast thou set thy heart to do this purpose? Thou hast not lied against men, but against God. |
| [5]And when heard Khanan-Yah these words he dropped and died and came fear great among all these who heard |
[5]And when Ananias heard these words, he fell down, and died. And great fear was upon all them that heard [of it]. |
| [6]And arose those young men among them and gathered him up and they took him out and buried him |
[6]And the young men among them arose, and gathered him up, and carried [him] out, and buried him. |
| [7]And from after that passed three hours also his wife entered while not known she had what had happened |
[7]And when three hours had passed, his wife also came in, without knowing what had occurred. |
| [8]Said to her Shimeon tell me if for these proceeds you sold the field she but said Yes for these proceeds |
[8]Simon said to her: Tell me, if ye sold the field for this price? And she said: Yes, for this price. |
| [9]Said to her Shimeon because you have agreed to tempt The Spirit of the Lord behold the feet of the buriers of your husband at the door and they will take you out |
[9]Simon said to her: Since ye have been equals in tempting the Spirit of the Lord, lo, the feet of the buriers of thy husband are at the door, and they will carry thee out. |
| [10]And in it in the moment she fell before their feet and died and entered young men those and they found her when dead and took up brought out buried her at the side of her husband |
[10]And immediately she fell before their feet, and died. And those young men came in, and found her dead; and they took up, carried forth, and buried her by the side of her husband. |
| [11]And was fear great in the entire church in all of them those who heard |
[11]And great fear was on all the assembly, and on all them that heard [it]. |
| [12]And there were by the hand of the Apostles the signs and mighty acts many among the people and they all assembled were together at the porch of Shlimon |
[12]And there were many signs and prodigies wrought by the legates among the people. And they were all assembled together in the porch of Solomon. |
| [13]And of the people other a man not daring was to approach near them but magnifying were them the people |
[13]And of the others, no one ventured to come near them; but the people magnified them. |
| [14]And more added were those who believing were in the Lord crowds of men and of women |
[14]And the more were those added who feared the Lord, a multitude both of men and of women. |
| [15]So that in the streets bringing out they were the sick while lying they were in litters that when would come Shimeon at least his shadow might overshadow them |
[15]So that they brought out into the streets the sick, laid on beds, that when Simon should pass, at least his shadow might cover them. |
| [16]Coming were but many to them from cities other which were around Jerusalem when bringing they were the sick and those who had to them a spirit unclean and being healed they were all of them |
[16]And many came to them from other cities around Jerusalem, bringing the sick and those who had unclean spirits; and they were all cured. |
| [17]And filled was with jealousy High The Priest and all who with him who were of the doctrine of Zaduqya |
[17]And the high priest was filled with indignation, and all those with him who were of the doctrine of the Sadducees. |
| [18]And they laid hands on the Apostles and seized and bound them in a house prisoner |
[18]And they laid hands on the legates, and took and bound them in prison. |
| [19]Then in the night The Angel of the Lord opened the door of the house prisoner and brought out them and he said to them |
[19]Then the angel of the Lord, by night, opened the door of the prison, and let them out; and said to them: |
| [20]Go stand in the temple and speak to the people all words these of life |
[20]Go, stand in the temple, and speak to the people all these words of life. |
| [21]And they went out the time of dawn and they entered the temple and teaching they were High The Priest but and those with him they called their associates and The Elders of Israel and they sent to the house of prisoners to bring them the Apostles |
[21]And in the morning, they went and entered into the temple, and taught. And the high priest and those with him, convoked their associates and the Elders of Israel, and sent to the prison to bring forth the legates. |
| [22]And when went those who were sent from them not found them in the house prisoner and returned they came |
[22]And when those sent by them went, they found them not in the prison; and they returned and came back, |
| [23]They were saying we found the house prisoner which was locked securely also by the guards standing at the door ? and a man not we found there |
[23]and said: We found the prison carefully closed, and also the keepers standing before the doors; and we opened, but found no one there. |
| [24]And when heard these words Chief The Priests and The Leaders of the temple astonished they were at them and considering they were what was this |
[24]And when the chief priests and rulers of the temple heard these words, they were astonished at them; and they studied what this could mean. |
| [25]And came a man informing them "the same men whom you shut up in the house prisoner behold are standing in the temple" and teaching the people |
[25]And one came and informed them: Those men, whom ye shut up in the prison, lo, they are standing in the temple, and teaching the people. |
| [26]Then went The Leaders with attendants to bring them not with force afraid they were for lest would stone them the people |
[26]Then went the rulers with attendants, to bring them without violence; for they feared, lest the people should stone them. |
| [27]And when they brought them they stood them before whole the council and began he High The Priest to say to them |
[27]And when they had brought them, they placed them before the whole council; and the high priest began to say to them: |
| [28]Not? have commanding we commanded we have you that a man not you teach in Name This you but behold you have filled Jerusalem from your teaching and wish you to bring upon us the blood of man this |
[28]Did we not strictly charge you, to teach no person in this name? And behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine; and ye would bring the blood of this man upon us. |
| [29]Answered Shimeon with the Apostles and said to them to Alaha it is necessary to obey rather than children of men |
[29]And Simon, with the legates, answered and said to them: God is to be obeyed, rather than men. |
| [30]The Alaha of our forefathers raised Ieshu The One Whom you murdered when you hanged Him on a tree |
[30]The God of our fathers hath raised up that Jesus, whom ye slew when ye hanged him on a tree. |
| [31]Him This One appointed Alaha The Head and The Lifegiver and has exalted Him at His right so as to give repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel |
[31]Him hath God established as a head and vivifier; and hath exalted him to his own right hand, so that he might give repentance and remission of sins to Israel. |
| [32]And we witnesses are of accounts these and The Spirit of Holiness Him Whom gives Alaha to those who are believing in Him |
[32]And we are the witnesses of these things; and also the Holy Spirit, whom God giveth to them that believe in him. |
| [33]And when they heard had these words enraged they were with a passion and considering they were killing them |
[33]And when they heard these things, they burned with indignation, and thought of putting them to death. |
| [34]And stood there one of The Pharisha whose name was Gamaliel he taught the law and was honored of all the people |
[34]Then rose up one of the Pharisees whose name was Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, and honored by all the people; and he directed them to put the legates aside for a short time. |
| [35]And he said to them men sons of Israel and commanded to take them the Apostles outside a time little take heed to yourselves and see what is right for you to do concerning these men |
[35]And he said, to them: Men, sons of Israel, take heed to yourselves, and consider what ye ought to do in regard to these men. |
| [36]From before for this time arose there Theuda and said of himself that something he was great went after him about four hundred men and he was killed and those who going were after him were scattered and they were as not a thing |
[36]For before this time, rose up Theudas, and said of himself, that he was some great one; and there went after him about four hundred men. And he was slain; and they who went after him, were dispersed and became as nothing. |
| [37]And arose from after him Yehuda the Galilean in the days when registered were people in the tax head and seduced people many after him and he died and all those who going were after him were scattered |
[37]And after him, rose up Judas a Galilean, in the days when the people were enrolled for the capitation tax; and he seduced much people after him. And he died, and all they that went after him were dispersed. |
| [38]And now say I to you separate yourselves from these men and leave them for if this from children of men is this counsel and this work they will dissolve and they will pass away |
[38]And now, I say to you: Desist from these men, and let them lone. For if this device and this work originate from men, they will dissolve and come to nothing. |
| [39]If but from Alaha it is not it comes into your hands to destroy it lest you be found yourselves that against Alaha stand you |
[39]But if it be from God, it is not in your power to frustrate it: that ye may not be found placing yourselves in opposition to God. And they, assented to him. |
| [40]And they were persuaded by him and called them the Apostles and they scourged them and commanded them that not to be speaking in The Name of Ieshu and dismissed them |
[40]And they called the legates, and scourged them, and commanded them not to teach in the name of Jesus, and dismissed them. |
| [41]And they departed from before them while rejoicing that worthy they were for The Name to be disgraced |
[41]And they went from before them, rejoicing that they were worthy to suffer abuse on account of that name. |
| [42]And not ceasing they were every day to teach in the temple and in houses and to evangelize about our Lord Ieshu The Messiah |
[42]And they ceased not to teach daily, in the temple and at home, and to preach concerning our Lord Jesus Messiah. |
