Деяния 5
Священное Писание (Восточный Перевод)
Анания и Сапфира
5 Один же человек, по имени Анания, вместе со своей женой Сапфирой, продал своё имение 2 и часть вырученной суммы оставил себе, причём его жена знала об этом. Остальное же он принёс и положил к ногам посланников Масиха. 3 Петир сказал ему:
– Анания, как это сатана мог завладеть твоим сердцем настолько, что ты солгал Святому Духу и оставил себе часть денег, которые ты получил за проданную землю? 4 Ведь земля до того, как ты её продал, была твоей, и деньги, которые ты за неё получил, тоже твои. Почему же ты замыслил такое? Ты солгал не людям, а Всевышнему.
5 Как только Анания услышал эти слова, он упал мёртвым. Все присутствующие сильно испугались. 6 Подошли молодые люди, завернули его тело, вынесли и похоронили.
7 Часа три спустя пришла его жена, ничего не знавшая о происшедшем. 8 Петир спросил её:
– Скажи мне, вы с мужем за такую-то сумму продали землю?
– Да, – ответила она, – за такую.
9 Петир сказал ей:
– Что это вы сговорились испытывать Духа Вечного Повелителя? Ты слышишь шаги у дверей? Это возвращаются хоронившие твоего мужа. Они и тебя вынесут.
10 И в тот же момент она упала к его ногам мёртвой. Молодые люди вошли и, найдя её мёртвой, вынесли и похоронили её рядом с мужем. 11 Всей общиной верующих и всеми, кто об этом слышал, овладел великий страх.
Знамения и чудеса
12 Через посланников Масиха в народе совершалось много знамений и чудес. Все верующие собирались вместе в колоннаде Сулеймана. 13 И никто из случайных людей не решался к ним присоединяться, хотя народ их очень уважал. 14 Верующих же в Повелителя Ису становилось всё больше и больше, и мужчин, и женщин. 15 Люди выносили на улицы больных, клали их на носилках и постелях, чтобы хоть тень Петира упала на них, когда он будет проходить мимо. 16 И из городов, что были близ Иерусалима, приходили толпы людей. Они приносили больных и одержимых нечистыми духами, и все исцелялись.
Преследования посланников Исы Масиха
17 Тогда верховный священнослужитель и все его приближённые, члены религиозной партии саддукеев, были переполнены завистью. 18 Они арестовали посланников Масиха и заключили их в народную темницу. 19 Однако ангел от Вечного ночью открыл ворота темницы и вывел их.
20 – Идите, станьте в храме, – сказал он, – и говорите людям о новой жизни.
21 Они послушались и, придя рано утром в храм, начали учить.
Когда прибыли верховный священнослужитель и его приближённые, они созвали Высший Совет и всех старейшин Исраила и послали в темницу за посланниками Масиха. 22 Но когда стражники пришли в темницу, то не нашли их там и, возвратившись, доложили:
23 – Темничные ворота надёжно закрыты, у ворот стоит охрана, но когда мы вошли внутрь, мы никого там не нашли.
24 Выслушав их, начальник храмовой стражи и главные священнослужители пришли в недоумение – что бы это значило? 25 Потом кто-то пришёл и сообщил им:
– Люди, которых вы заключили в темницу, стоят в храме и учат народ.
26 Тогда начальник стражи пошёл со стражниками и привёл посланников Масиха. Они не применяли силу, потому что боялись, что народ может побить их камнями.
27 Посланников Масиха ввели и поставили перед Высшим Советом. Верховный священнослужитель сказал им:
28 – Мы вам строго запретили учить от имени Исы, но вы весь Иерусалим наполнили своим учением, и к тому же обвиняете нас в смерти Этого Человека.
29 Петир и другие посланники Масиха ответили:
– Мы должны больше подчиняться Всевышнему, чем людям! 30 Бог наших предков воскресил Ису, Которого вы убили, повесив на дереве[a]. 31 Но Всевышний вознёс Его и посадил по правую руку от Себя как Вождя и Спасителя, чтобы дать народу Исраила возможность покаяния и прощения грехов. 32 Свидетели этому – мы и Святой Дух, Которого Всевышний дал тем, кто послушен Ему.
33 Когда присутствующие услышали это, они пришли в ярость и хотели убить посланников Масиха. 34 Но тогда встал один из членов Высшего Совета, блюститель Закона[b] по имени Гамалиил, учитель Таурата, уважаемый всем народом. Он велел вывести посланников Масиха на некоторое время. 35 Затем он сказал:
– Исраильтяне, хорошо подумайте о том, что вы собираетесь сделать с этими людьми. 36 Не так давно объявился здесь Февда, выдававший себя за кого-то великого. За ним пошло около четырёхсот человек, но когда он был убит, то все его последователи разбежались, и всё окончилось ничем. 37 После него был Иуда из Галилеи. Он появился во время переписи и увлёк народ за собой. Он тоже погиб, и его последователи рассеялись. 38 Поэтому в данном случае вот вам мой совет: оставьте этих людей. Отпустите их. Если их начинание от людей, то оно обречено на провал. 39 Если же оно от Всевышнего, то вы не сможете их остановить, а лишь сами окажетесь противниками Всевышнего.
Его речь убедила присутствующих. 40 Они призвали посланников Масиха и приказали их избить. Потом они ещё раз запретили им говорить от имени Исы и отпустили. 41 Посланники Масиха покинули Совет, радуясь тому, что они оказались достойными понести такое бесчестие ради имени Исы. 42 И каждый день в храме и по домам они продолжали учить и возвещать Радостную Весть о том, что Иса и есть Масих.
Footnotes
- 5:30 Повесив на дереве – это выражение восходит к Таурату (см. Втор. 21:22-23). Повешение на дереве символизировало, что казнённый человек проклят Всевышним. Иса, будучи распят на деревянном кресте, взял на Себя наши грехи, был проклят за нас и освободил нас от тяжести Закона и его наказания (см. Гал. 3:13).
- 5:34 Блюститель Закона (букв.: «фарисей») – член религиозной партии, которую отличало неукоснительное выполнение законов Таурата, следование обычаям предков и строгое соблюдение ритуальной чистоты.
Acts 5
Names of God Bible
Ananias and Sapphira
5 A man named Ananias and his wife Sapphira sold some property. 2 They agreed to hold back some of the money they had pledged and turned only part of it over to the apostles.
3 Peter asked, “Ananias, why did you let Satan fill you with the idea that you could deceive the Holy Spirit? You’ve held back some of the money you received for the land. 4 While you had the land, it was your own. After it was sold, you could have done as you pleased with the money. So how could you do a thing like this? You didn’t lie to people but to God!”
5 When Ananias heard Peter say this, he dropped dead. Everyone who heard about his death was terrified. 6 Some young men got up, wrapped his body in a sheet, carried him outside, and buried him.
7 About three hours later Ananias’ wife arrived. She didn’t know what had happened. 8 So Peter asked her, “Tell me, did you sell the land for that price?”
She answered, “Yes, that was the price.”
9 Then Peter said to her, “How could you and your husband agree to test the Lord’s Spirit? Those who buried your husband are standing at the door, and they will carry you outside for burial.”
10 Immediately, she dropped dead in front of Peter. When the young men came back, they found Sapphira dead. So they carried her outside and buried her next to her husband. 11 The whole church and everyone else who heard about what had happened were terrified.
The Apostles Perform Many Miracles
12 The people saw the apostles perform many miracles and do amazing things. The believers had a common faith in Yeshua as they met on Solomon’s Porch. 13 None of the other people dared to join them, although everyone spoke highly of them. 14 More men and women than ever began to believe in the Lord. 15 As a result, people carried their sick into the streets. They placed them on stretchers and cots so that at least Peter’s shadow might fall on some sick people as he went by. 16 Crowds from the cities around Jerusalem would gather. They would bring their sick and those who were troubled by evil spirits, and each person was cured.
The Apostles’ Trial in Front of the Jewish Council
17 The chief priest and the whole party of the Sadducees who were with him were extremely jealous. So they took action 18 by arresting the apostles and putting them in the city jail. 19 But at night an angel from the Lord opened the doors to their cell and led them out of the prison. 20 The angel told them, “Stand in the temple courtyard, and tell the people everything about life in Christ.”
21 Early in the morning, after they had listened to the angel, the apostles went into the temple courtyard and began to teach.
The chief priest and those who were with him called together the Jewish council, that is, all the leaders of Israel. They also sent men to the prison to get the apostles. 22 When the temple guards arrived at the prison, they didn’t find the apostles. The guards came back and reported, 23 “We found the prison securely locked and the guards standing at the doors. However, when we opened the doors, we found no one inside.” 24 When the officer of the temple guards and the chief priests heard this, they were puzzled about what could have happened.
25 Then someone told them, “The men you put in prison are standing in the temple courtyard. They’re teaching the people.”
26 Then the officer of the temple guards went with some of his men to bring back the apostles without using force. After all, the officer and his guards were afraid that the people would stone them to death for using force. 27 When they brought back the apostles, they made them stand in front of the council. The chief priest questioned them. 28 He said, “We gave you strict orders not to mention Yeshua’s name when you teach. Yet, you’ve filled Jerusalem with your teachings. You want to take revenge on us for putting that man to death.”
29 Peter and the other apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than people. 30 You murdered Yeshua by hanging him on a cross. But the God of our ancestors brought him back to life. 31 God used his power to give Yeshua the highest position as leader and savior. He did this to lead the people of Israel to him, to change the way they think and act, and to forgive their sins. 32 We are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”
33 When the men on the council heard this, they became furious and wanted to execute the apostles. 34 But a Pharisee named Gamaliel stood up. He was a highly respected expert in Moses’ Teachings. He ordered that the apostles should be taken outside for a little while.
35 Then he said to the council, “Men of Israel, consider carefully what you do with these men. 36 Some time ago Theudas appeared. He claimed that he was important, and about four hundred men joined him. He was killed, and all his followers were scattered. The whole movement was a failure.
37 “After that man, at the time of the census, Judas from Galilee appeared and led people in a revolt. He, too, died, and all his followers were scattered.
38 “We should keep away from these men for now. We should leave them alone. I can guarantee that if the plan they put into action is of human origin, it will fail. 39 However, if it’s from God, you won’t be able to stop them. You may even discover that you’re fighting against God.”
40 The council took his advice. They called the apostles, beat them, ordered them not to speak about the one named Yeshua, and let them go.
41 The apostles left the council room. They were happy to have been considered worthy to suffer dishonor for speaking about Yeshua. 42 Every day in the temple courtyard and from house to house, they refused to stop teaching and telling the Good News that Yeshua is the Messiah.
Acts 5
King James Version
5 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
2 And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.
11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.
12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
13 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people magnified them.
14 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women.)
15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.
16 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one.
17 Then the high priest rose up, and all they that were with him, (which is the sect of the Sadducees,) and were filled with indignation,
18 And laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison.
19 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth, and said,
20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
21 And when they heard that, they entered into the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the high priest came, and they that were with him, and called the council together, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
22 But when the officers came, and found them not in the prison, they returned and told,
23 Saying, The prison truly found we shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we had opened, we found no man within.
24 Now when the high priest and the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these things, they doubted of them whereunto this would grow.
25 Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and teaching the people.
26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should have been stoned.
27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,
28 Saying, Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.
29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.
31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
32 And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.
33 When they heard that, they were cut to the heart, and took counsel to slay them.
34 Then stood there up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, had in reputation among all the people, and commanded to put the apostles forth a little space;
35 And said unto them, Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men.
36 For before these days rose up Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and brought to nought.
37 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:
39 But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
40 And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
41 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.
