Act 5:1Vir autem quīdam nōmine Ananias, cum Saphirā uxōre suā vēndidit agrum, et fraudāvit dē pretiō agrī, cōnsciā uxōre suā: et afferēns partem quamdam, ad pedēs Apostolōrum posuit.But a certain man by name Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a field, and kept back by fraud some of the price of the field, his wife being aware of it: and bringing a certain part, he placed it at the feet of the Apostles. Act 5:3Dīxit autem Petrus: Anania, cūr tentāvit Satanās cor tuum, mentīrī tē Spīrituī Sānctō, et fraudāre dē pretiō agrī?But Peter said: "Ananias, why has Satan tempted your heart, so that you lied to the Holy Spirit, and kept back by fraud some of the price of the field? Act 5:4Nōnne manēns tibi manēbat, et vēnundatum in tuā erat potestāte?Remaining, did it not remain yours, and once sold was it not in your power? Act 5:4Quārē posuistī in corde tuō hanc rem?Why have you placed this thing in your heart? Act 5:4Nōn es mentītus hominibus, sed Deō.You have not lied to men, but to God." Act 5:5Audiēns autem Ananias haec verba, cecidit, et expīrāvit.And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down, and breathed his last.
Act 5:5Et factus est timor magnus super omnēs quī audiērunt.And a great fear came upon all who heard it. Act 5:6Surgentēs autem juvenēs āmōvērunt eum, et efferentēs sepeliērunt.And the young men, rising, removed him, and carrying him out they buried him. Act 5:7Factum est autem quasi hōrārum trium spatium, et uxor ipsīus, nesciēns quod factum fuerat, introīvit.And there passed a space of about three hours, and his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in. Act 5:8Dīxit autem eī Petrus: Dīc mihi mulier, sī tantī agrum vēndidistis?And Peter said to her: "Tell me, woman, whether you sold the field for so much?" Act 5:8At illa dīxit: Etiam tantī.And she said: "Yes, for so much." Act 5:9Petrus autem ad eam: Quid utique convēnit vōbīs tentāre Spīritum Dominī?But Peter to her: "Why indeed has it been agreed between you to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Act 5:9Ecce pedēs eōrum quī sepeliērunt virum tuum ad ōstium, et efferent tē.Look, the feet of those who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out." Act 5:10Cōnfestim cecidit ante pedēs ejus, et expīrāvit.At once she fell before his feet, and breathed her last.
Act 5:10Intrantēs autem juvenēs invēnērunt illam mortuam: et extulērunt, et sepeliērunt ad virum suum.And the young men, coming in, found her dead: and they carried her out, and buried her beside her husband. Act 5:11Et factus est timor magnus in ūniversā ecclēsiā, et in omnēs quī audiērunt haec.And a great fear came upon all the church, and upon all who heard these things. Act 5:12Per manūs autem Apostolōrum fīēbant signa et prōdigia multa in plēbe.And through the hands of the Apostles many signs and wonders were being done among the people. Act 5:12Et erant ūnanimiter omnēs in porticū Salomōnis.And they were all with one mind in the porch of Solomon. Act 5:13Cēterōrum autem nēmō audēbat sē conjungere illīs: sed magnificābat eōs populus.But of the rest no one dared to join himself to them: but the people were magnifying them. Act 5:14Magis autem augēbātur crēdentium in Dominō multitūdō virōrum ac mulierum, ita ut in platēās ējicerent īnfirmōs, et pōnerent in lectulīs et grabātīs, ut, veniente Petrō, saltem umbra illīus obumbrāret quemquam illōrum, et līberārentur ab īnfirmitātibus suīs.And all the more the multitude of men and women believing in the Lord was being increased, so that they were carrying out the sick into the streets, and placing them on little beds and pallets, so that, when Peter came, at least his shadow might overshadow any one of them, and they might be freed from their sicknesses.
Act 5:16Concurrēbat autem et multitūdō vīcīnārum cīvitātum Jerūsalem, afferentēs aegrōs, et vexātōs ā spīritibus immundīs: quī cūrābantur omnēs.And there was also running together the multitude of the neighbouring cities to Jerusalem, bringing the sick, and those troubled by unclean spirits: who were all being cured. Act 5:17Exsurgēns autem prīnceps sacerdōtum, et omnēs quī cum illō erant (quae est haeresis sadducaeōrum), replētī sunt zēlō: et injēcērunt manūs in Apostolōs, et posuērunt eōs in custōdiā pūblicā.But the chief of the priests, rising up, and all who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), were filled with jealousy: and they laid hands on the Apostles, and put them in the public prison. Act 5:19Angelus autem Dominī per noctem aperiēns jānuās carceris, et ēdūcēns eōs, dīxit: Īte, et stantēs Loquiminī in templō plēbī omnia verba vītae hujus.But an angel of the Lord, opening the doors of the prison by night, and leading them out, said: "Go, and standing speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life." Act 5:21Quī cum audīssent, intrāvērunt dīlūculō in templum, et docēbant.And they, when they had heard, went into the temple at daybreak, and were teaching.
Act 5:21Adveniēns autem prīnceps sacerdōtum, et quī cum eō erant, convocāvērunt concilium, et omnēs seniōrēs fīliōrum Isrāël: et mīsērunt ad carcerem ut addūcerentur.But the chief of the priests, arriving, and those who were with him, called together the council, and all the elders of the sons of Israel: and they sent to the prison for them to be brought. Act 5:22Cum autem vēnissent ministrī, et apertō carcere nōn invēnissent illōs, reversī nūntiāvērunt, dīcentēs: Carcerem quidem invēnimus clausum cum omnī dīligentiā, et custōdēs stantēs ante jānuās: aperientēs autem nēminem intus invēnimus.But when the attendants had come, and, the prison having been opened, had not found them, returning they reported, saying: "The prison indeed we found shut with all care, and the guards standing before the doors: but opening it we found no one inside." Act 5:24Ut autem audiērunt hōs sermōnēs magistrātūs templī et prīncipēs sacerdōtum, ambigēbant dē illīs quidnam fieret.And as the officer of the temple and the chiefs of the priests heard these words, they were in doubt about them, what would come of this. Act 5:25Adveniēns autem quīdam, nūntiāvit eīs: Quia ecce virī quōs posuistis in carcerem, sunt in templō, stantēs et docentēs populum.But someone, arriving, reported to them: "Look, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people."
Act 5:26Tunc abiit magistrātus cum ministrīs, et addūxit illōs sine vī: timēbant enim populum nē lapidārentur.Then the officer went away with the attendants, and brought them without force: for they feared the people, lest they be stoned. Act 5:27Et cum addūxissent illōs, statuērunt in conciliō: et interrogāvit eōs prīnceps sacerdōtum, dīcēns: Praecipiendō praecēpimus vōbīs nē docērētis in nōmine istō, et ecce replēstis Jerūsalem doctrīnā vestrā: et vultis indūcere super nōs sanguinem hominis istīus.And when they had brought them, they set them in the council: and the chief of the priests questioned them, saying: "By ordering we ordered you not to teach in this name, and look, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching: and you want to bring upon us the blood of this man." Act 5:29Respondēns autem Petrus et Apostolī, dīxērunt: Obēdīre oportet Deō magis quam hominibus.But Peter and the Apostles, answering, said: "One must obey God more than men. Act 5:30Deus patrum nostrōrum suscitāvit Jēsum, quem vōs interēmistis, suspendentēs in lignō.The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on wood. Act 5:31Hunc prīncipem et salvātōrem Deus exaltāvit dexterā suā ad dandam poenitentiam Israëlī, et remissiōnem peccātōrum: et nōs sumus testēs hōrum verbōrum, et Spīritus Sānctus, quem dedit Deus omnibus obēdientibus sibi.This man as prince and saviour God has exalted with his right hand, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins: and we are witnesses of these words, and the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to all who obey him."
Act 5:33Haec cum audīssent, dissecābantur, et cōgitābant interficere illōs.When they had heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and were thinking of killing them. Act 5:34Surgēns autem quīdam in conciliō pharisaeus, nōmine Gamaliēl, lēgis doctor, honōrābilis ūniversae plēbī, jussit forās ad breve hominēs fierī, dīxitque ad illōs: Virī Isrāëlītae, attendite vōbīs super hominibus istīs quid āctūrī sītis.But a certain Pharisee rising up in the council, by name Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, held in honour by all the people, ordered the men to be put outside for a short while, and said to them: "Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves about these men, what you are going to do. Act 5:36Ante hōs enim diēs extitit Theodas, dīcēns sē esse aliquem, cui cōnsēnsit numerus virōrum circiter quadringentōrum: quī occīsus est, et omnēs quī crēdēbant eī, dissipātī sunt, et redāctī ad nihilum.For before these days Theudas arose, saying that he was somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, gave assent: who was killed, and all who believed him were scattered, and brought to nothing. Act 5:37Post hunc extitit Jūdas Galilaeus in diēbus professiōnis, et āvertit populum post sē: et ipse periit, et omnēs quotquot cōnsēnsērunt eī, dispersī sunt.After this man arose Judas the Galilean in the days of the census, and he turned the people away after himself: and he too perished, and all, as many as gave assent to him, were dispersed.
Act 5:38Et nunc itaque dīcō vōbīs, discēdite ab hominibus istīs, et sinite illōs: quoniam sī est ex hominibus cōnsilium hoc aut opus, dissolvētur: sī vērō ex Deō est, nōn poteritis dissolvere illud, nē forte et Deō repugnāre inveniāminī.And now therefore I say to you, depart from these men, and let them be: since if this counsel or work is from men, it will be dissolved: but if it is from God, you will not be able to dissolve it, lest perhaps you be found to be fighting even against God." Act 5:39Cōnsēnsērunt autem illī.And they agreed with him. Act 5:40Et convocantēs Apostolōs, caesīs dēnūntiāvērunt nē omnīnō loquerentur in nōmine Jēsū, et dīmīsērunt eōs.And calling in the Apostles, having had them beaten, they gave them notice not to speak at all in the name of Jesus, and released them. Act 5:41Et illī quidem ībant gaudentēs ā cōnspectū conciliī, quoniam dignī habitī sunt prō nōmine Jēsū contumēliam patī.And they indeed went rejoicing from the presence of the council, because they had been held worthy to suffer insult for the name of Jesus. Act 5:42Omnī autem diē nōn cessābant in templō et circā domōs, docentēs et ēvangelizantēs Chrīstum Jēsum.And every day they did not cease in the temple and from house to house, teaching and preaching the good news of Christ Jesus.
