使徒行传 4
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
彼得约翰在公议会受审
4 使徒们正对群众讲话的时候，祭司、圣殿的守卫长，和撒都该人来到他们那里。 2 因为使徒教训群众，并且传扬耶稣从死人中复活，他们就非常恼怒， 3 于是下手拿住使徒。那时天已经晚了，就把他们拘留到第二天。 4 然而有许多听道的人信了，男人的数目，约有五千。
5 第二天，犹太人的官长、长老、经学家，都聚集在耶路撒冷， 6 还有大祭司亚那和该亚法、约翰、亚历山大，以及大祭司的家人，所有的人都在那里。 7 他们叫使徒都站在当中，查问说：“你们凭甚么能力，奉谁的名作这事？” 8 当时彼得被圣灵充满，对他们说：“民众的领袖和长老啊！ 9 我们今天受审，如果是为了在那残疾人身上所行的善事，就是这个人怎么会好的， 10 那么，你们各位和以色列全民都应当知道，站在你们面前这人好了，是因拿撒勒人耶稣基督的名。这位耶稣基督，你们把他钉死在十字架上， 神却使他从死人中复活。 11 这耶稣是你们
‘建筑工人所弃的石头，
成了房角的主要石头。’
12 除了他以外，别无拯救，因为在天下人间，没有赐下别的名，我们可以靠着得救。”
13 他们看见彼得和约翰的胆量，也知道这两个人是没有学问的平民，就很惊奇；同时认出他们是跟耶稣一伙的， 14 又看见那医好了的人，和他们一同站着，就没有话可辩驳。 15 于是吩咐他们到公议会外面去，彼此商议， 16 说：“对这些人我们应该怎么办呢？因为有一件人所共知的神迹，借着他们行了出来，所有住在耶路撒冷的人都知道，我们也无法否认。 17 为了避免这件事在民间越传越广，我们应该警告他们，不许再奉这名向任何人谈道。” 18 于是叫了他们来，严禁他们再奉耶稣的名讲论教导。 19 彼得和约翰回答：“听从你们过于听从 神，在 神面前对不对，你们自己说吧！ 20 我们看见的听见的，不能不说！” 21 众人因着所发生的事，都颂赞 神，于是公议会为了群众的缘故，也因为找不到借口惩罚他们，就恐吓一番，把他们放了。 22 原来借着神迹医好的那人，有四十多岁了。
信徒同心祈祷
23 彼得和约翰被释放了之后，回到自己的人那里去，把祭司长和长老说的一切，都告诉他们。 24 他们听了，就同心向 神高声说：“主啊，你是那创造天地、海洋和其中万物的主宰。 25 你曾以圣灵借着你仆人我们祖先大卫的口说：
‘列国为甚么骚动？
万民为甚么空谋妄想？
26 地上的君王都起来，
首领聚在一起，
敌对主和他的受膏者。’
27 希律和本丢．彼拉多，外族人和以色列民，真的在这城里聚集，反对你所膏立的圣仆耶稣， 28 行了你手和你旨意所预定要成就的一切。 29 主啊，他们恐吓我们，现在求你鉴察，也赐你仆人们大有胆量，传讲你的道。 30 求你伸手医治，借着你圣仆耶稣的名，大行神迹奇事。” 31 他们祷告完了，聚会的地方震动起来，他们都被圣灵充满，放胆传讲 神的道。
信徒凡物公用
32 全体信徒一心一意，没有一个人说自己的财物是自己的，他们凡物公用。 33 使徒大有能力，为主耶稣的复活作见证，众人都蒙了大恩。 34 他们中间没有一个有缺乏的，因为凡有田产房屋的都卖了，把得到的钱拿来， 35 放在使徒脚前，照着各人的需要来分配。 36 有一个人名叫约瑟，使徒称他为巴拿巴，就是“安慰者”的意思，他是个利未人，生在塞浦路斯。 37 他卖掉了自己的田地，把钱拿来，放在使徒的脚前。
प्रेरितों के काम 4
Hindi Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
पतरस और यूहन्ना: यहूदी सभा के सामने
4 अभी पतरस और यूहन्ना लोगों से बात कर रहे थे कि याजक, मन्दिर के सिपाहियों का मुखिया और कुछ सदूकी उनके पास आये। 2 वे उनसे इस बात पर चिढ़े हुए थे कि पतरस और यूहन्ना लोगों को उपदेश देते हुए यीशु के मरे हुओं में से जी उठने के द्वारा पुनरुत्थान का प्रचार कर रहे थे। 3 सो उन्होंने उन्हें बंदी बना लिया और क्योंकि उस समय साँझ हो चुकी थी, इसलिये अगले दिन तक हिरासत में रख छोड़ा। 4 किन्तु जिन्होंने वह संदेश सुना उनमें से बहुतों ने उस पर विश्वास किया और इस प्रकार उनकी संख्या लगभग पाँच हजार पुरूषों तक जा पहुँची।
5 अगले दिन उनके नेता, बुजुर्ग और यहूदी धर्मशास्त्री यरूशलेम में इकट्ठे हुए। 6 महायाजक हन्ना, कैफ़ा, यूहन्ना, सिकन्दर और महायाजक के परिवार के सभी लोग भी वहाँ उपस्थित थे। 7 वे इन प्रेरितों को उनके सामने खड़ा करके पूछने लगे, “तुमने किस शक्ति या अधिकार से यह कार्य किया?”
8 फिर पवित्र आत्मा से भावित होकर पतरस ने उनसे कहा, “हे लोगों के नेताओ और बुजुर्ग नेताओं! 9 यदि आज हमसे एक लँगड़े व्यक्ति के साथ की गयी भलाई के बारे में यह पूछताछ की जा रही है कि वह अच्छा कैसे हो गया 10 तो तुम सब को और इस्राएल के लोगों को यह पता हो जाना चाहिये कि यह काम नासरी यीशु मसीह के नाम से हुआ है जिसे तुमने क्रूस पर चढ़ा दिया और जिसे परमेश्वर ने मरे हुओं में से पुनर्जीवित कर दिया है। उसी के द्वारा पूरी तरह से ठीक हुआ यह व्यक्ति तुम्हारे सामने खड़ा है। 11 यह यीशु वही,
‘वह पत्थर जिसे तुम राजमिस्त्रियों ने नाकारा ठहराया था,
वही अत्यन्त महत्त्वपूर्ण पत्थर बन गया है।’(A)
12 किसी भी दूसरे में उद्धार निहित नहीं है। क्योंकि इस आकाश के नीचे लोगों को कोई दूसरा ऐसा नाम नहीं दिया गया है जिसके द्वारा हमारा उद्धार हो पाये।”
13 उन्होंने जब पतरस और यूहन्ना की निर्भीकता को देखा और यह समझा कि वे बिना पढ़े लिखे और साधारण से मनुष्य हैं तो उन्हें बहुत आश्चर्य हुआ। फिर वे जान गये कि ये यीशु के साथ रह चुके लोग हैं। 14 और क्योंकि वे उस व्यक्ति को जो चंगा हुआ था, उन ही के साथ खड़ा देख पा रहे थे सो उनके पास कहने को कुछ नहीं रहा।
15 उन्होंने उनसे यहूदी महासभा से निकल जाने को कहा और फिर वे यह कहते हुए आपस में विचार-विमर्श करने लगे, 16 “इन लोगों के साथ कैसा व्यवहार किया जाये? क्योंकि यरूशलेम में रहने वाला हर कोई जानता है कि इनके द्वारा एक उल्लेखनीय आश्चर्यकर्म किया गया है और हम उसे नकार भी नहीं सकते। 17 किन्तु हम इन्हें चेतावनी दे दें कि वे इस नाम की चर्चा किसी और व्यक्ति से न करें ताकि लोगों में इस बात को और फैलने से रोका जा सके।”
18 सो उन्होंने उन्हें अन्दर बुलाया और आज्ञा दी कि यीशु के नाम पर वे न तो किसी से कोई ही चर्चा करें और न ही कोई उपदेश दें। 19 किन्तु पतरस और यूहन्ना ने उन्हें उत्तर दिया, “तुम ही बताओ, क्या परमेश्वर के सामने हमारे लिये यह उचित होगा कि परमेश्वर की न सुन कर हम तुम्हारी सुनें? 20 हम, जो कुछ हमने देखा है और सुना है, उसे बताने से नहीं चूक सकते।”
21-22 फिर उन्होंने उन्हें और धमकाने के बाद छोड़ दिया। उन्हें दण्ड देने का उन्हें कोई रास्ता नहीं मिल सका क्योंकि जो घटना घटी थी, उसके लिये सभी लोग परमेश्वर की स्तुति कर रहे थे। जिस व्यक्ति पर अच्छा करने का यह आश्चर्यकर्म किया गया था, उसकी आयु चालीस साल से ऊपर थी।
पतरस और यूहन्ना की वापसी
23 जब उन्हें छोड़ दिया गया तो वे अपने ही लोगों के पास आ गये और उनसे जो कुछ प्रमुख याजकों और बुजुर्ग यहूदी नेताओं ने कहा था, वह सब उन्हें कह सुनाया। 24 जब उन्होंने यह सुना तो मिल कर ऊँचे स्वर में वे परमेश्वर को पुकारते हुए बोले, “स्वामी, तूने ही आकाश, धरती, समुद्र और उनके अन्दर जो कुछ है, उसकी रचना की है। 25 तूने ही पवित्र आत्मा के द्वारा अपने सेवक, हमारे पूर्वज दाऊद के मुख से कहा था:
‘इन जातियों ने जाने क्यों अपना अहंकार दिखाया?
लोगों ने व्यर्थ ही षड़यन्त्र क्यों रच डाले?
26 ‘धरती के राजाओं ने, उसके विरुद्ध युद्ध करने को तैयार किया।
और शासक प्रभु और उसके मसीह के विरोध में एकत्र हुए।’(B)
27 हाँ, हेरोदेस और पुन्तियुस पिलातुस भी इस नगर में ग़ैर यहूदियों और इस्राएलियों के साथ मिल कर तेरे पवित्र सेवक यीशु के विरोध में, जिसे तूने मसीह के रूप में अभिषिक्त किया था, वास्तव में एकजुट हो गये थे। 28 वे इकट्ठे हुए ताकि तेरी शक्ति और इच्छा के अनुसार जो कुछ पहले ही निश्चित हो चुका था, वह पूरा हो। 29 और अब हे प्रभु, उनकी धमकियों पर ध्यान दे और अपने सेवकों को निर्भयता के साथ तेरे वचन सुनाने की शक्ति दे। 30 जबकि चंगा करने के लिये तू अपना हाथ बढ़ाये और चिन्ह तथा अद्भुत कर्म तेरे पवित्र सेवकों द्वारा यीशु के नाम पर किये जा रहे हों।”
31 जब उन्होंने प्रार्थना पूरी की तो जिस स्थान पर वे एकत्र थे, वह हिल उठा और उन सब में पवित्र आत्मा समा गया, और वे निर्भयता के साथ परमेश्वर के वचन बोलने लगे।
विश्वासियों का सहयोगी जीवन
32 विश्वासियों का यह समूचा दल एक मन और एक तन था। कोई भी यह नहीं कहता था कि उसकी कोई भी वस्तु उसकी अपनी है। उनके पास जो कुछ होता, उस सब कुछ को वे बाँट लेते थे। 33 और वे प्रेरित समूची शक्ति के साथ प्रभु यीशु के फिर से जी उठने की साक्षी दिया करते थे। परमेश्वर का महान वरदान उन सब पर बना रहता। 34 उस दल में से किसी को भी कोई कमी नहीं थी। क्योंकि जिस किसी के पास खेत या घर होते, वे उन्हें बेच दिया करते थे और उससे जो धन मिलता, उसे लाकर 35 प्रेरितों के चरणों में रख देते और जिसको जितनी आवश्यकता होती, उसे उतना धन दे दिया जाता था।
36 उदाहरण के लिये यूसुफ नाम का, साइप्रस में पैदा हुआ, एक लेवी था जिसे प्रेरित बरनाबास (अर्थात चैन का पुत्र) भी कहा करते थे। 37 उसने एक खेत बेच दिया जिसका वह मालिक था और उस धन को लाकर प्रेरितों के चरणों पर रख दिया।
Acts 4
King James Version
4 And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,
2 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide.
4 Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.
5 And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes,
6 And Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.
7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this?
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
9 If we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole;
10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
16 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.
17 But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.
18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
19 But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.
20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.
22 For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed.
23 And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.
24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:
25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?
26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,
28 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.
29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
31 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
32 And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
33 And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all.
34 Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
35 And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
36 And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,
37 Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
Gevurot 4
Orthodox Jewish Bible
4 Now while they were speaking to the people, the kohanim and the Sar Tzeva HaHeikhal, and the Tzedukim (Sadducees), approached them,
2 Being greatly annoyed, because they were teaching HaAm and preaching in Yehoshua the Techiyas HaMesim.
3 And they took them with their hands, and put them in the beis hasohar until the next day, for it was already erev.
4 And many of the ones having listened to the dvar Hashem had emunah; and the number of the men came to be lav davka (approximately) chameshet alafim.
5 And it came about on the next day their manhigim and Zekenim and the Sofrim were gathered together in Yerushalayim,
6 And also Anan the Kohen Gadol and Caiapha and Yochanan and Alexander and as many as were of the mishpochah of the Kohen Gadol.
7 And when they had placed the Moshiach’s Shlichim in their midst, they were inquiring, "By what ko’ach or in what Shem have you done this?"
8 Then Kefa, having been filled with the Ruach Hakodesh, said to them, "Sarei HaAm and Zekenim,
9 "If we today are being examined on account of a ma’aseh tov done to a handicapped man, as to by what means this one has been given refuah shleimah,
10 "Let it be known to all of you and to Klal Yisroel, that b’Shem Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yeshoshua of Natzeret, whom you hanged on HaEtz (DEVARIM 21:22), whom Hashem made to stand up alive again from HaMesim‖by this Shem this man stands here before you shalem b’guf (healthy).
11 "He [Yehoshua] is HAEVEN MA’ASU ("the Stone which was rejected") by you, HABONIM ("the builders”), which HAY’TAH LEROSH PINNAH ("became the very corner") stone. [Ps 118:22; Isa 28:16; Zech 10:4]
12 "And there is no Yeshu’at Eloheinu in any other, for there is no other Shem under Shomayim that has been given among Bnei Adam, by which it is necessary for you to be spared [the Mishpat Hashem in the Yom HaDin]."
13 Now observing the boldness of Kefa and Yochanan, and having perceived that they are not yeshiva-trained Torah teachers, they were marveling and began to recognize them, that they had been with Yehoshua.
14 And seeing the man who had received refuah shleimah standing with them, they had nothing to say keneged to it.
15 And having ordered the Shlichim to step outside the Sanhedrin chambers, they began conferring with one another,
16 Saying, "What should we do with these anashim? For that a remarkable ot has occurred through them is evident to all the ones inhabiting Yerushalayim, and we are not able to make hakhchashah of the fact.
17 "But lest it may be spread further among the Am Yisroel, let us warn them no longer to speak to any man b’shem hazeh (in this name)."
18 And, having summoned them, they commanded them not to say drashot or shiurim b’shem Yehoshua at all. [AMOS 7:13]
19 But Kefa and Yochanan in reply said to them, "If it is tov before Hashem to listen to you rather than to Hashem, you be the Beit Din Dayan;
20 "For we are not able to cease speaking about what we saw and heard [as edei re’iyah (eyewitnesses)]." [IYOV 32:18; YIRMEYAH 20:9; AMOS 3:8]
21 And when they had threatened them further, they released them, finding no basis on which they might punish them, because of the people, vi-bahlt all were crying "Baruch Hashem!" on account of what had happened.
22 For the man was more than ben arba’im shanah, upon whom this ot of refu’ah had been brought about.
23 And, after having been released, the Moshiach’s Shlichim came to their own, and reported all the things the Rashei Hakohanim and the Zekenim had said to them.
24 And having heard this, the people lifted their voices to Hashem with one mind, and said, "Rabbono Shel Olam, you are the one BARAH ES HASHOMAYIM V’ES HA’ARETZ and the yam and all that is in them, [BERESHIS 1:1; NECHEMYAH 9:6; IYOV 41:11; YESHAYAH 37:16; TEHILLIM 146:6; SHEMOT 20:11]
25 "And You are the One Who by the Ruach Hakodesh through the mouth of Avinu Dovid Your eved, said, LAMMAH RAGESHU GOYIM UL’UMMIM YEHIGU RIK ("Why did the Goyim rage and the peoples plot vain and futile things?")
26 YITYATZVU MALKHEI ERETZ V’ROZNIM NOSEDU YACHAD AL HASHEM V’AL MOSHIACHO (‘The kings of the earth took their stand, and the rulers assembled together against Hashem and against His Moshiach.') [TEHILLIM 2:1,2; DANIEL 9:25]
27 "For be’emes (in truth) in this Ir (City), keneged (in opposition, against) Your Eved HaKadosh Yehoshua whom You did anoint, there were assembled both Herod and Pontius Pilate along with the Goyim and HaAm Yisroel, [TEHILLIM 61:1, 2:1f; YESHAYAH 53; ZECHARYAH 12:10]
28 "To do whatever that was by Your hand and by Your ratzon (will) it was nigzar merosh (predestined) to occur.
29 "And now, Adonoi, look upon their threats and grant that Your avadim may speak Your dvar with all ometz lev (courage, boldness), [TEHILLIM 138:3]
30 "While You stretch out Your hand for refu’ah and otot and moftim to occur through the Shem of Your Eved HaKadosh Yehoshua."
31 And after they had davened, the place in which they had assembled was shaken and everyone was filled with the Ruach Hakodesh and they were speaking the dvar Hashem with ometz lev (courage, boldness).
32 Now the Messianic Kehillah velt (community) of the ones having had emunah had achdus in lev (heart) and nefesh (soul), and not one was saying that any of the possessions belonging to him was his own, but everything to them was in common.
33 And with gevaltike (extraordinary) ko’ach (power) the Moshiach’s Shlichim were giving eidus (testimony) of the Techiyas of Yehoshua Adoneinu. And great Chen v’Chesed Hashem was upon them all.
34 For there was no one needy among them, for as many as were owners of sadot or batim were selling them and were bringing the proceeds of the sale
35 And were placing them at the feet of Moshiach’s Shlichim and were distributing to each one as anyone was nitzrach (needy).
36 And Yosef, a Levi from Cyprus, a man having been named Bar-Nabba by the Moshiach’s Shlichim, a name which being translated means, "Son of Encouragement,"
37 This one owned a sadeh and, when he sold it, brought the kesef and laid it at the feet of Moshiach’s Shlichim.
