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。

Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
使徒与犹太议会
4 正当彼得和约翰向众人讲话时,一些祭司、大殿的看守长和撒都该人走了过来。 2 因为彼得和约翰正在教导人们,宣讲通过耶稣基督死里复活的事情,所以他们非常恼怒和不安。 3 他们逮捕了彼得和约翰,并把他们囚禁在牢房里过夜,因为当时已是晚上了。 4 但是,听到传道的人中许多人都信了,信徒由此增加到约五千人。
5 第二天,犹太人首领、年长的犹太首领和律法师都聚在耶路撒冷。 6 大祭司亚那和该亚法、约翰、亚力山大以及大祭司的亲属都在那里。 7 他们把彼得和约翰带到面前,质问道: “你们凭什么权力,又仗着谁的名义来这么做的呢?”
8 此时,彼得浑身充满圣灵,他对他们说∶“人民的首领和年长的犹太首领! 9 如果今天为我们治愈了一个残疾人的善行和他如何被治愈的,而质问我们的话, 10 那么,你们和所有的以色列人,都应该知道,让站在你们面前这个人痊愈的,是拿撒勒的耶稣基督名字的力量。你们把耶稣钉在十字架上,但是,上帝却让他死而复活。 11 耶稣是:
‘那块被你们建筑工扔掉的石头,
它现在变成了重要的基石。’ (A)
12 耶稣是唯一能有拯救的那位,因为,在天下没有赐给人们任何其它的名字,通过耶稣,我们必得救。”
13 当那些人看到彼得和约翰有如此的勇气,而且也知道他们没受过什么教育,只是普普通通的人而已时,都非常惊讶。他们意识到彼得和约翰曾与耶稣在一起过。 14 不过,他们既然看到和他们站在一起的那个被治愈了的人,也便无话可说了。 15 他们下令,要彼得和约翰离开议会,然后,开始彼此商量道: 16 “我们该拿这些人怎么办呢?住在耶路撒冷的人都知道了,通过他们所行的这个令人注目的奇迹,我们是无法否认它了。 17 但是,为了阻止此事在人们中间进一步扩散,我们必须警告他们,不得再以那个人的名义来向任何人讲话。”
18 然后,他们又把彼得和约翰叫了进来,命令他们不得以耶稣的名义说什么话或教导任何事情。 19 彼得和约翰却回答道∶“请你们自己判断,在上帝面前,我们应该听从你们的话,还是应该听从上帝的话呢? 20 我们对自己的所见所闻不能不说。” 21 他们进一步威胁了他们一番后,便把他们释放了。他们找不到任何办法来惩罚他们,因为当地所有的人都在为所发生的一切赞美着上帝。 22 因为那个被奇迹般治愈的人当时已经四十多岁了。
彼得和约翰回到信徒中间
23 彼得和约翰一被释放,又回到了自己人中间,向他们讲述了祭司长和年长的犹太首领对他们所说的一切。 24 人们听到这些,都异口同声地高声向上帝祷告道∶“主啊,您造就了天空、大地、海洋和其中的一切。 25 您,借圣灵,通过你的仆人,我们的祖先大卫之口说道:
‘众邦为何怒火冲天,
人们为什么要图谋虚妄?
26 地上的国王们为争战做好了准备;
统治者们结集在一起对抗主和他的基督。’ (B)
27 是的,希律和本丢彼拉多已经与外族人和以色列人聚集在这个城市,图谋反对您神圣的仆人耶稣、即您所立的基督。 28 他们聚在一起做的每一件事情,都是您,凭着您的力量和旨意预先决定应该发生的事情。 29 而现在,主啊,请明察他们的威胁,让您的仆人能够勇敢地讲述您的信息, 30 请您伸出手,治愈疾病,并通过您的圣仆耶稣的名字使奇事和神迹得以发生。”
31 人们刚祷告完,他们聚集的地方便颤动起来了。霎那间,他们都被圣灵充满,大胆地讲着上帝的信息。
信徒同分享
32 所有的信徒同心同意,没有人说他的财产只属于自己,而是互相分享拥有的一切。 33 使徒们用巨大的力量为主耶稣的复活做了见证,上帝慷慨地赐福给所有的信徒。 34 这些人中,没有一个缺少什么的,因为那些有田有房的人变卖财产后,把所得的钱, 35 放在了使徒的脚边。这些钱又按需分发给了每一个人。
36 一位来自塞浦路斯的利未人,名叫约瑟,使徒们都叫他“巴拿巴”(意思是“鼓舞他人的那位”)。 37 他卖掉了一块他拥有的地,把钱放在了使徒的脚边。

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
唯一的救主
4 彼得和約翰向百姓講道的時候,祭司、聖殿護衛長和撒都該人趕來了。 2 因為彼得和約翰宣講藉著耶穌死人可以復活,他們非常惱怒, 3 下令拘捕二人,因天色已晚,就把他們扣押了一夜。 4 但有許多聽道的人信了,男人的數目約有五千人。
5 第二天,官長、長老和律法教師都聚集在耶路撒冷, 6 大祭司亞那,以及該亞法、約翰、亞歷山大和大祭司的許多親族都在場。 7 他們令使徒站在當中,質問道:「你們憑什麼權柄、以誰的名義這樣做?」
8 那時彼得被聖靈充滿,對他們說:「各位百姓的官長和長老啊, 9 如果因為那殘疾的乞丐得到醫治這件善事,你們今天來查問我們他是如何痊癒的, 10 那麼,你們和所有以色列人都應當知道,他能健康地站在你們面前,全是靠拿撒勒人耶穌基督的名!你們把祂釘在十字架上,但上帝使祂從死裡復活了。
11 『祂是你們工匠丟棄的石頭,
已成了房角石。』
12 除祂以外,別無救主,因為普天之下沒有賜下別的名我們可以靠著得救!」
13 在場的人看到彼得和約翰的膽量,又知道他們原是沒有學問的平民百姓,都很驚奇。他們認出這些人跟隨過耶穌, 14 又見那被醫好的瘸子站在他們旁邊,便無話可說, 15 只好暫時把他們押下去,然後彼此商量說: 16 「我們該怎樣處置這兩個人呢?整個耶路撒冷的居民都知道他們行了一個神蹟,我們無法否認。 17 為了避免這件事傳得更廣,我們必須警告他們以後不許再對任何人傳講耶穌的事。」
18 於是,他們又把使徒傳來,嚴令他們不許再奉耶穌的名講論或傳道。 19 但彼得和約翰答道:「要我們聽從你們而不聽從上帝,這在上帝看來合理嗎?你們自己想想吧。 20 我們耳聞目睹的,不能不說!」 21 官長實在不知道如何懲治使徒,只好再三恐嚇之後把他們放了,因為百姓都為這個神蹟讚美上帝。 22 在這次神蹟中蒙上帝醫治的那個人已經四十多歲了。
同心禱告
23 彼得和約翰被釋放之後,就去找其他信徒,把祭司長和長老的話都告訴大家。 24 大家聽後,一同高聲向上帝禱告說:「主啊,你創造了天地、海洋和其中的萬物。 25 你藉著聖靈感動你的僕人——我們的祖先大衛說,
『列國為何咆哮?
萬民為何枉費心機?
26 世上的君王一同行動,官長聚集起來,
要抵擋主和祂所膏立的王。』
27 「果然如此,希律和本丟·彼拉多、外族人和以色列人都聚集在這城裡,要對抗你膏立的聖子[a]耶穌, 28 然而他們所做的只不過是你憑自己的能力和旨意所預定的。 29 主啊,你看他們這樣恐嚇我們,求你幫助你的奴僕們坦然無懼地傳你的道。 30 求你伸出手醫治疾病,藉著你聖子耶穌的名行神蹟奇事。」
31 禱告完後,聚會的地方震動起來,他們都被聖靈充滿,放膽傳揚上帝的道。
共用一切
32 當時所有信徒都同心合意,共用所有的東西,沒有人說他的財物只屬於自己。 33 使徒充滿能力,繼續為主耶穌復活的事做見證,上帝也賜下極大的恩典給眾人。 34 信徒都一無所缺,因為大家賣掉房屋田產,把所得的錢交給使徒, 35 照各人的需要分配給各人。
36 有個生在塞浦路斯的利未人名叫約瑟,使徒叫他巴拿巴,意思是勸慰者。 37 他賣掉自己的一塊田,把賣得的錢交給了使徒。

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.
