使徒行传 5
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
欺骗圣灵
5 一个名叫亚拿尼亚的人与妻子撒非喇也把田产卖了。 2 他私自留下一部分钱，然后把其余的拿去交给使徒，这件事他妻子也知道。 3 彼得说：“亚拿尼亚，你为什么让撒旦充满你的心，欺骗圣灵，私自留下一些卖地的钱呢？ 4 田产没有卖的时候属于你，即使卖了，卖地的钱也由你支配。你怎么做出这种事呢？你不是欺骗人，你是欺骗上帝！” 5 亚拿尼亚听见这话，当场倒地而死。听见这件事的人都非常惧怕。 6 有几个青年上前把他的尸体裹起来，抬出去埋葬了。
7 大约过了三个小时，亚拿尼亚的妻子也进来了，她还不知道发生了什么事。 8 彼得问她：“你们卖田地的钱就这么多吗？”她说：“是的，就这么多。”
9 彼得说：“你们二人怎么串通起来试探主的灵呢？埋葬你丈夫的人就到门口了，他们也要把你抬出去。” 10 撒非喇立刻倒在彼得脚前死了。那些青年进来看见她已经死了，便把她抬出去葬在她丈夫的旁边。 11 整个教会和听见这件事的人都非常惧怕。
神迹奇事
12 主借着使徒们在百姓中行了许多神迹奇事，大家同心合意地在所罗门廊那里聚会。 13 其他人不敢接近他们，不过百姓都很敬重他们。 14 信主的人数不断增加，男女都有。 15 人们甚至把病人抬到街上，放在床上或垫子上，希望彼得路过时的影子可以落在病人身上。 16 还有大群的人从耶路撒冷附近的城镇带着病人和被污鬼搅扰的人赶来，他们都得了医治。
使徒受迫害
17 大祭司和他的同党撒都该人看见这情形，妒火中烧， 18 便把使徒拘捕，关在监里。 19 当天晚上，有一位主的天使把狱门打开，领他们出来， 20 说：“你们到圣殿去，把这生命之道传给百姓。” 21 使徒遵从命令，在黎明的时候来到圣殿开始教导众人。
大祭司和他的同党召集了所有公会[a]的人和以色列的众长老，然后派人去监狱把使徒押来受审。 22 差役来到监狱时，发现使徒已经不见了，就回去禀告，说： 23 “我们看见牢门紧锁，守卫都站在门外，但打开门一看，里面却空无一人！”
24 圣殿护卫长和祭司长听后，都很困扰，不知道是怎么回事。 25 这时有人来报告说：“你们关押在牢里的人正在圣殿里教导人！” 26 圣殿护卫长和差役再去把使徒抓回来。这次他们不敢动粗，生怕百姓会用石头打他们。
27 使徒被带来后站在公会前，大祭司盘问他们，说： 28 “我们不是严禁你们奉耶稣的名去教导百姓吗？你们竟然在耶路撒冷各处传道，还想把杀那人的血债归到我们身上！”
29 彼得和其他使徒申辩说：“我们要服从的是上帝，而非人。 30 你们钉死在十字架上的耶稣，我们祖先的上帝已经使祂复活了。 31 上帝把祂提升到自己的右边，立祂为君王和救主，好赐给以色列人悔改的机会，使他们的罪得到赦免。 32 我们就是这些事的见证人，上帝赐给顺服祂之人的圣灵也同样做见证。”
33 他们听了，怒气冲天，打算杀掉使徒。 34 公会中有一位名叫迦玛列的法利赛人，是个德高望重的律法教师。他站起来，叫人把使徒暂且押到外面， 35 然后说：“以色列人啊，你们应当慎重处置这些人。 36 不久前，有个名叫杜达的人起来自立山头，吸引了差不多四百个跟随者，但他被杀之后，那些跟随者就各奔东西，销声匿迹了。 37 后来，又有个加利利人犹大在户口登记期间鼓动百姓跟随他造反。他被杀之后，那些跟随者也烟消云散了。 38 所以，像现在这种情形，我劝大家还是不要管他们，随他们去吧。他们的计划和行为如果是出于人意，终必失败； 39 但如果是出于上帝，你们不但无法阻止他们，恐怕反而是在抵挡上帝！”
40 公会采纳了他的意见，于是把使徒召回来打了一顿，再次警告他们不可奉耶稣的名传道，才放了他们。 41 使徒离开公会后，为自己有资格为主的名受辱而欢喜。 42 他们每天在圣殿里及各家各户教导人，传扬耶稣是基督。

欺騙聖靈
5 一個名叫亞拿尼亞的人與妻子撒非喇也把田產賣了。 2 他私自留下一部分錢，然後把其餘的拿去交給使徒，這件事他妻子也知道。 3 彼得說：「亞拿尼亞，你為什麼讓撒旦充滿你的心，欺騙聖靈，私自留下一些賣地的錢呢？ 4 田產沒有賣的時候屬於你，即使賣了，賣地的錢也由你支配。你怎麼做出這種事呢？你不是欺騙人，你是欺騙上帝！」 5 亞拿尼亞聽見這話，當場倒地而死。聽見這件事的人都非常懼怕。 6 有幾個青年上前把他的屍體裹起來，抬出去埋葬了。
7 大約過了三個小時，亞拿尼亞的妻子也進來了，她還不知道發生了什麼事。 8 彼得問她：「你們賣田地的錢就這麼多嗎？」她說：「是的，就這麼多。」
9 彼得說：「你們二人怎麼串通起來試探主的靈呢？埋葬你丈夫的人就到門口了，他們也要把你抬出去。」 10 撒非喇立刻倒在彼得腳前死了。那些青年進來看見她已經死了，便把她抬出去葬在她丈夫的旁邊。 11 整個教會和聽見這件事的人都非常懼怕。
神蹟奇事
12 主藉著使徒們在百姓中行了許多神蹟奇事，大家同心合意地在所羅門廊那裡聚會。 13 其他人不敢接近他們，不過百姓都很敬重他們。 14 信主的人數不斷增加，男女都有。 15 人們甚至把病人抬到街上，放在床上或墊子上，希望彼得路過時的影子可以落在病人身上。 16 還有大群的人從耶路撒冷附近的城鎮帶著病人和被污鬼攪擾的人趕來，他們都得了醫治。
使徒受迫害
17 大祭司和他的同黨撒都該人看見這情形，妒火中燒， 18 便把使徒拘捕，關在監裡。 19 當天晚上，有一位主的天使把獄門打開，領他們出來， 20 說：「你們到聖殿去，把這生命之道傳給百姓。」 21 使徒遵從命令，在黎明的時候來到聖殿開始教導眾人。
大祭司和他的同黨召集了所有公會[a]的人和以色列的眾長老，然後派人去監獄把使徒押來受審。 22 差役來到監獄時，發現使徒已經不見了，就回去稟告，說： 23 「我們看見牢門緊鎖，守衛都站在門外，但打開門一看，裡面卻空無一人！」
24 聖殿護衛長和祭司長聽後，都很困擾，不知道是怎麼回事。 25 這時有人來報告說：「你們關押在牢裡的人正在聖殿裡教導人！」 26 聖殿護衛長和差役再去把使徒抓回來。這次他們不敢動粗，生怕百姓會用石頭打他們。
27 使徒被帶來後站在公會前，大祭司盤問他們，說： 28 「我們不是嚴禁你們奉耶穌的名去教導百姓嗎？你們竟然在耶路撒冷各處傳道，還想把殺那人的血債歸到我們身上！」
29 彼得和其他使徒申辯說：「我們要服從的是上帝，而非人。 30 你們釘死在十字架上的耶穌，我們祖先的上帝已經使祂復活了。 31 上帝把祂提升到自己的右邊，立祂為君王和救主，好賜給以色列人悔改的機會，使他們的罪得到赦免。 32 我們就是這些事的見證人，上帝賜給順服祂之人的聖靈也同樣做見證。」
33 他們聽了，怒氣衝天，打算殺掉使徒。 34 公會中有一位名叫迦瑪列的法利賽人，是個德高望重的律法教師。他站起來，叫人把使徒暫且押到外面， 35 然後說：「以色列人啊，你們應當慎重處置這些人。 36 不久前，有個名叫杜達的人起來自立山頭，吸引了差不多四百個跟隨者，但他被殺之後，那些跟隨者就各奔東西，銷聲匿跡了。 37 後來，又有個加利利人猶大在戶口登記期間鼓動百姓跟隨他造反。他被殺之後，那些跟隨者也煙消雲散了。 38 所以，像現在這種情形，我勸大家還是不要管他們，隨他們去吧。他們的計劃和行為如果是出於人意，終必失敗； 39 但如果是出於上帝，你們不但無法阻止他們，恐怕反而是在抵擋上帝！」
40 公會採納了他的意見，於是把使徒召回來打了一頓，再次警告他們不可奉耶穌的名傳道，才放了他們。 41 使徒離開公會後，為自己有資格為主的名受辱而歡喜。 42 他們每天在聖殿裡和各家各戶教導人，傳揚耶穌是基督。

Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
亚拿尼亚和撒非喇
5 一个名叫亚拿尼亚的人和他的妻子撒非喇也卖掉一些田产。 2 他私自留下一部分钱，只把剩下的放在了使徒的脚边。这事他妻子也知道。 3 彼得说∶“亚拿尼亚，你为什么要让撒旦占据你的心，而对圣灵说谎，藏起了一部分卖田的钱呢？ 4 你卖地之前，难道那块地不是属于你的吗？你卖地后，难道那笔钱不是任你支配的吗？你怎么会想出这个主意来的呢？你不是对人说谎，而是在对上帝说谎。” 5 亚拿尼亚听到这里，便一头栽倒在地死了。所有听到这事的人都充满了恐惧。 6 年轻男子走上去，把他的尸体裹了起来，抬出去埋了。
7 过了三个小时左右，亚拿尼亚的妻子走了进来，她并不知道所发生的事情。 8 彼得问她道∶“告诉我，你们卖地的钱就这些吗？”
撒非喇答道∶“对，就是这些。”
9 听罢，彼得对她说∶“你们俩为什么打定主意要试探主的灵呢？看，那些埋葬了你丈夫的人，正站在门口，他们也会把你给抬出去的。” 10 话音刚落，她便栽倒在了彼得的脚旁，死掉了。那些人进来发现他死了，便把她也抬了出去，埋在了她丈夫的旁边。 11 整个教会的人们，以及所有听说了这件事的人都充满了敬畏。
来自上帝的证明
12 通过使徒之手，许多奇事和神迹在人们中间得以发生。使徒们都聚在“所罗门廊”下， 13 但是外人都不敢加入他们，尽管所有的人都称颂他们。 14 越来越多的人信仰了主，有许多男女加入到信徒的行列。 15 大家把他们的病人都抬到大街上，让他们躺在床上或者垫子上，以便当彼得走过时，至少让他的身影落在一些病人身上。 16 从耶路撒冷附近城镇来的人群，带来了他们的病人和那些受到邪灵折磨的人，这些人的病全都被治好了。
使徒被捕
17 因此，大祭司 [a]和他的同僚们，也就是撒都该党徒们，都非常嫉妒。 18 他们便逮捕了使徒，把他们投进了监狱。 19 可是，夜里，主的一个天使打开了狱门，把他们领了出来，并对他们说： 20 “去站在大殿院子里，告诉人们关于这新生命的全部事情。” 21 使徒们听从了这话，在黎明时分，进了大殿院，开始教导人们。
大祭司和他的同僚们来了，他们召集起议会和所有的以色列的长老，并派人去监狱里带使徒们。 22 但是，当那些人来到监狱时，却发现使徒们不在里面了。他们便返回去报告， 23 说∶“我们发现牢门牢牢地锁着，卫兵也守在门外，可是打开一看，里面一个人也没有。” 24 大殿的警卫队长和祭司长听到这些，都觉得十分纳闷，不知道发生了什么事， 25 这时，有个人进来告诉他们说∶“你们关进监狱里的那些人正站在大殿院里教唆人们呢！” 26 警卫队长便带着手下的人，又把那些使徒们抓了回来。他们没有动用暴力，因为他们害怕在场的人们会用石头砸他们。
27 他们把使徒带了进来，让他们站在全议会人的面前，大祭司质问他们∶ 28 “我们已严厉的禁止过，不许你们再以这个人的名义教导。可是你们的教导还是充满了耶路撒冷，并且要把这个人的死归罪于我们！”
29 彼得和其他的使徒们答道∶“我们必须服从上帝，而不是服从人。 30 耶稣被你们吊死在十字架上，而我们祖先的上帝却使耶稣从死亡中复活。 31 上帝把他做为王子和救世主升到了自己的右侧，以便让他给以色列人悔过自新和得到宽恕的机会。 32 我们是这一切的见证人，上帝赋予服从他的人的圣灵，也是这一切的见证！”
33 议会的人听到这里，都勃然大怒起来。他们想把使徒 [b]们杀了。 34 但是，议会里有一个法利赛人，名字叫迦玛列，是一位受所有人尊敬的律法师。他下令让人们把使徒们带出去一会儿， 35 然后对其他人说∶“我的同胞以色列人啊，你们计划如何去处置这些人，必须慎重。 36 记得曾出现过丢大吧？他自命不凡，大约有四百男子加入了他，他被杀掉了，他的跟随者都被驱散了，没折腾出什么结果来。 37 在他之后，到了人口普查的时候，又出现了加利利人犹大，他引诱一些人跟随自己，他也被杀了，他的随从也被驱散了。 38 因此，关于目前这个案子，我告诉你们，不要管这些人，由他们去吧，因为，他们的计划或活动，如果是源于人，他们必要失败； 39 但是，如果它源于上帝，你们就无法阻止他们，并且甚至会有可能发现自己在与上帝做对。
他们听取了他的意见， 40 于是把使徒们叫了进来，下令打了他们一顿，并发布命令不许他们再以耶稣的名义传道，然后便把他们放了。 41 使徒们非常高兴地离开了议会，因为他们被认为配得上为了耶稣的名字受耻辱。 42 日复一日，无论是在大殿院里还是在人们家里，他们从末停止过教导人们和宣讲耶稣是基督 [c]的福音。

Acts 5
Amplified Bible
Fate of Ananias and Sapphira
5 Now a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property, 2 and with his wife’s full knowledge [and complicity] he kept back some of the proceeds, bringing only a [a]portion of it, and set it at the apostles’ feet. 3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and [secretly] keep back for yourself some of the proceeds [from the sale] of the land? 4 As long as it remained [unsold], did it not remain your own [to do with as you pleased]? And after it was sold, was the money not under your control? Why is it that you have conceived this act [of hypocrisy and deceit] in your heart? You have not [simply] lied to people, but to God.” 5 And hearing these words, Ananias fell down suddenly and died; and great fear and awe gripped those who heard of it. 6 And the young men [in the congregation] got up and wrapped up the body, and carried it out and buried it.
7 Now after an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 Peter asked her, “Tell me whether you sold your land for so much?” And she said, “Yes, for so much.” 9 Then Peter said to her, “How could you two have agreed together to put the Spirit of the Lord to the test? Look! The feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.” 10 And at once she fell down at his feet and died; and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband. 11 And great fear and awe gripped the whole church, and all who heard about these things.
12 At the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders (attesting miracles) were continually taking place among the people. And by common consent they all met together [at the temple] in [the covered porch called] Solomon’s portico. 13 But none of the rest [of the people, the non-believers] dared to associate with them; however, the people were holding them in high esteem and were speaking highly of them. 14 More and more believers in the Lord, crowds of men and women, were constantly being added to their number, 15 to such an extent that they even carried their sick out into the streets and put them on cots and sleeping pads, so that when Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on one of them [with healing power]. 16 And the people from the towns in the vicinity of Jerusalem were coming together, bringing the sick and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all being healed.
Imprisonment and Release
17 But the [b]high priest stood up, along with all his associates (that is, the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy and resentment. 18 They arrested the apostles and put them in a public jail. 19 But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors, and leading them out, he said, 20 “Go, stand and continue to tell the people in the temple [courtyards] the whole message of this Life [the eternal life revealed by Christ and found through faith in Him].” 21 When they heard this, they went into the temple [courtyards] about daybreak and began teaching.
Now when the high priest and his associates arrived, they called together the Council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court), even all the council of elders of the sons of Israel, and sent word to the prison for the apostles to be brought [before them]. 22 But when the officers arrived, they did not find them in the prison; and they came back and reported, 23 “We found the prison securely locked and the guards standing at the doors, but when we opened [the doors], we found no one inside.” 24 Now when the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard these things, they were greatly perplexed, wondering what would come of this. 25 But someone came and told them, “The men whom you put in prison are standing [right here] in the temple [area], teaching the people!” 26 Then the captain went with the officers and brought them back, without hurting them (because they were afraid of the people, worried that they might be stoned).
27 So they brought them and presented them before the Council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court). The high priest questioned them, 28 saying, “We gave you strict orders not to continue teaching in this name, and yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and you intend to bring this [c]Man’s blood on us [by accusing us as His murderers].” 29 Then Peter and the apostles replied, “We must obey God rather than men [we have no other choice]. 30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you had put to death by hanging Him on a [d]cross [and you are responsible].(A) 31 God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior and Deliverer, in order to grant repentance to Israel, and [to grant] forgiveness of sins. 32 And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has bestowed on those who obey Him.”
Gamaliel’s Counsel
33 Now when they heard this, they were infuriated and they intended to kill the apostles. 34 But a Pharisee named [e]Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law [of Moses], highly esteemed by all the people, stood up in the Council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court) and ordered that the men be taken outside for a little while. 35 Then he said to the Council, “Men of Israel, be careful in regard to what you propose to do to these men. 36 For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody [of importance], and a group of about four hundred men allied themselves with him. But he was killed, and all who followed him were scattered and came to nothing. 37 After this man, Judas the Galilean rose up, [and led an uprising] during the time of the census, and drew people after him; he was also killed, and all his followers were scattered. 38 So in the present case, I say to you, stay away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or action is of men [merely human in origin], it will fail and be destroyed; 39 but if it is of God [and it appears that it is], you will not be able to stop them; or else you may even be found fighting against God!”
40 The Council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court) took his advice; and after summoning the apostles, they flogged them and ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them. 41 So they left the Council, rejoicing that they had been considered worthy [dignified by indignity] to suffer shame for [the sake of] His name. 42 And every single day, in the temple [area] and in homes, they did not stop teaching and telling the good news of Jesus as the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed).
