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。

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。

Lexham English Bible
Ananias and Sapphira Lie to the Holy Spirit
5 Now a certain man named[a] Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property, 2 and he kept back for himself some of the proceeds, and his[b] wife was aware of it.[c] And he brought a certain part and[d] placed it[e] at the feet of the apostles. 3 But Peter said, “Ananias, for what reason has Satan filled your heart, that you lied to the Holy Spirit and kept back for yourself some of the proceeds of the piece of land? 4 When it[f] remained to you, did it not remain yours? And when it[g] was sold, was it at your disposal? How is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to people, but to God!”
5 And when[h] Ananias heard these words, he fell down and[i] died. And great fear came on all those who heard about it.[j] 6 So the young men stood up, wrapped him up, and carried him[k] out and[l] buried him.[m] 7 And it happened that there was an interval of about three hours, and his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 And Peter said to her, “Tell me whether you both[n] were paid this much for the piece of land.” And she said, “Yes, this much.” 9 So Peter said to her, “How is it that it was agreed by you two[o] to test the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out!” 10 And immediately she fell down at his feet and died. So when[p] the young men came in, they found her dead, and carried her[q] out and[r] buried her[s] with her husband. 11 And great fear came on the whole church and on all who heard about these things.
Many Signs and Wonders Are Performed by the Apostles
12 Now many signs and wonders were being performed among the people through the hands of the apostles. And they were all together[t] in Solomon’s Portico. 13 And none of the rest dared to join them, but the people spoke highly of them. 14 And even more believers in the Lord[u] were being added, large numbers of both men and women, 15 so that they even carried out the sick into the streets and put them[v] on cots and mats[w] so that when[x] Peter came by, at least his[y] shadow would fall on some of them. 16 And the people of the towns around Jerusalem also came together, bringing the sick and those tormented by unclean spirits, who were all being healed.
The Apostles Arrested and Imprisoned
17 Now the high priest rose up and all those who were with him (that is, the party of the Sadducees), and[z] they were filled with jealousy. 18 And they laid hands on the apostles and put them in the public prison. 19 But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison and led them out and[aa] said, 20 “Go and stand in the temple courts[ab] and[ac] proclaim to the people all the words of this life.” 21 And when they[ad] heard this,[ae] they entered at daybreak into the temple courts[af] and began teaching.[ag]
Now when[ah] the high priest and those with him arrived, they summoned the Sanhedrin—even the whole council of elders of the sons of Israel—and sent to the prison to have them brought. 22 But the officers who came[ai] did not find them in the prison, and they returned and[aj] reported, 23 saying, “We found the prison locked with all security and the guards standing at the doors, but when we[ak] opened them,[al] we found no one inside!” 24 Now when both the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were greatly perplexed concerning them, as to what this might be. 25 But someone came and[am] reported to them, “Behold, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple courts[an] and teaching the people!” 26 Then the captain went with the officers and[ao] brought them, not with force (for they were afraid of the people, lest they be stoned by them).[ap]
The Apostles on Trial Before the Sanhedrin
27 And when they[aq] had brought them, they made them[ar] stand in the Sanhedrin,[as] and the high priest put a question to them, 28 saying, “We strictly commanded[at] you[au] not to teach in this name? And behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching! And you are intending to bring upon us the blood of this man!” 29 But Peter and the apostles answered and[av] said, “It is necessary to obey God rather than men! 30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed by[aw] hanging him[ax] on a tree. 31 This one God has exalted to his right hand as Leader and Savior to grant repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. 32 And we are witnesses of these things, and so is[ay] the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.” 33 Now when[az] they heard this,[ba] they were infuriated, and were wanting to execute them. 34 But a certain man stood up in the Sanhedrin,[bb] a Pharisee named[bc] Gamaliel, a teacher of the law respected by all the people, and[bd] gave orders to put the men outside for a short time. 35 And he said to them, “Men and Israelites, take care for yourselves what you are about to do to these men! 36 For before these days, Theudas rose up saying he was somebody. A number of men, about four hundred, joined him.[be] He[bf] was executed, and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing. 37 After this man, Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of the census and caused people to follow him in revolt.[bg] And that one perished, and all who followed him were scattered. 38 And now I tell you, keep away from these men, and leave them alone, because if this plan or this matter is from people, it will be overthrown.[bh] 39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to overthrow them, lest you even be found fighting against God.” So they were persuaded by him. 40 And they summoned the apostles, beat them,[bi] commanded them[bj] not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.[bk] 41 So they went out from the presence of the Sanhedrin[bl] rejoicing, because they had been considered worthy to be dishonored for the sake of the name. 42 Every day, both in the temple courts[bm] and from house to house, they did not stop teaching and proclaiming the good news that the Christ[bn] was Jesus.
