Mga Gawa 5
Ang Biblia, 2001
Si Ananias at si Safira
5 Ngunit may isang lalaki na ang pangalan ay Ananias ang nagbili ng isang ari-arian, na may pagsang-ayon ng kanyang asawang si Safira.
2 Nalalaman ng kanyang asawa na itinago niya ang ilang bahagi ng pinagbilhan at dinala ang isang bahagi lamang at inilagay sa mga paanan ng mga apostol.
3 Sinabi ni Pedro, “Ananias, bakit napadaig ka kay Satanas[a] at nagsinungaling ka sa Espiritu Santo, at itago ang bahagi ng pinagbilhan ng lupa?
4 Nang ito'y hindi pa nabibili, hindi ba iyon ay nanatiling iyo? At nang maipagbili na, hindi ba nasa iyo ring kapangyarihan? Bakit inisip mo pa ang bagay na ito sa iyong puso? Hindi ka nagsinungaling sa mga tao, kundi sa Diyos.”
5 Nang marinig ni Ananias ang mga salitang ito, siya ay bumagsak at namatay. At sinidlan ng malaking takot ang lahat ng nakarinig nito.
6 Tumindig ang mga kabinataan at siya'y binalot, at kanilang dinala siya sa labas at inilibing.
7 Pagkatapos ng halos tatlong oras na pagitan, pumasok ang kanyang asawa na hindi nalalaman ang nangyari.
8 Sinabi sa kanya ni Pedro, “Sabihin mo sa akin kung ipinagbili ninyo ng gayong halaga ang lupa.” Sinabi niya, “Oo, sa gayong halaga.”
9 Sinabi sa kanya ni Pedro, “Bakit kayo'y nagkasundo upang subukin ang Espiritu ng Panginoon? Tingnan mo, nasa pintuan ang mga paa ng mga naglibing sa iyong asawa, at kanilang dadalhin ka sa labas.”
10 Agad siyang bumagsak sa kanyang paanan at namatay. Pumasok ang mga kabinataan at natagpuan nilang patay siya. Siya'y kanilang inilabas at inilibing sa tabi ng kanyang asawa.
11 Sinidlan ng malaking takot ang buong iglesya, at ang lahat ng mga nakarinig ng mga bagay na ito.
Gumawa ng mga Himala ang mga Apostol
12 Sa pamamagitan ng mga apostol ay ginawa ang maraming tanda at kababalaghan sa gitna ng mga tao. Naroon silang lahat na nagkakaisa sa portiko ni Solomon.
13 Sinuman sa kanila ay di nangahas na makisama sa kanila subalit sila'y itinataas ng mga tao.
14 Lalo pang maraming mananampalatayang lalaki at babae ang naidagdag sa Panginoon,
15 kaya't dinala nila sa mga lansangan ang mga maysakit, at inilagay sa mga higaan at mga banig upang sa pagdaan ni Pedro ay madaanan man lamang ng anino niya ang ilan sa kanila.
16 Nagkatipon din ang maraming bilang ng mga tao mula sa mga bayang nasa palibot ng Jerusalem, na nagdadala ng mga maysakit, at ng mga pinahihirapan ng masasamang espiritu at silang lahat ay pinagaling.
Inusig ang mga Apostol
17 Pagkatapos ay kumilos ang pinakapunong pari at ang lahat ng mga kasama niya (na sekta ng mga Saduceo) at sila'y napuno ng inggit.
18 Kanilang dinakip ang mga apostol at kanilang inilagay sila sa bilangguang bayan.
19 Ngunit kinagabihan ay binuksan ng isang anghel ng Panginoon ang mga pintuan ng bilangguan, sila'y inilabas, at sinabi,
20 “Humayo kayo, tumayo kayo sa templo at sabihin ninyo sa mga tao ang lahat ng mga salita tungkol sa buhay na ito.”
21 Nang marinig nila ito, pumasok sila sa templo nang magmamadaling-araw, at nagturo. Nang dumating ang pinakapunong pari at ang mga kasamahan niya, pinulong nila ang Sanhedrin at ang buong kapulungan ng matatanda ng mga anak ng Israel, at nagpadala ng utos sa bilangguan upang sila'y dalhin doon.
22 Ngunit nang pumunta ang mga bantay sa bilangguan, hindi sila natagpuan doon. Bumalik sila at nag-ulat,
23 na nagsasabi, “Nadatnan naming nakasusing mabuti ang bilangguan, at nakatayo sa mga pintuan ang mga bantay ngunit nang aming buksan ang mga ito ay wala kaming natagpuan sa loob.”
24 Nang marinig ng kapitan ng templo at ng mga punong pari ang mga salitang ito, naguluhan sila at nagtataka kung ano kaya ang nangyayari.
25 At may dumating at nagsabi sa kanila, “Tingnan ninyo, ang mga lalaking ibinilanggo ninyo ay nakatayo sa templo at nagtuturo sa mga tao!”
26 Nang magkagayo'y sumama ang kapitan sa bantay ng templo at sila'y dinala ngunit walang dahas, sapagkat natatakot na baka sila'y batuhin ng taong-bayan.
27 Nang kanilang madala sila, pinatayo sila sa harap ng Sanhedrin. Tinanong sila ng pinakapunong pari,
28 “Hindi(A) ba't mahigpit naming ipinagbawal sa inyo na huwag kayong magturo sa pangalang ito, ngunit tingnan ninyo, pinuno ninyo ang Jerusalem ng inyong aral, at ibig pa ninyong iparatang sa amin ang dugo ng taong ito!”
29 Ngunit sumagot si Pedro at ang mga apostol, “Kailangang sa Diyos kami sumunod, sa halip na sa mga tao.
30 Ibinangon ng Diyos ng ating mga ninuno si Jesus, na inyong pinatay nang ibitin siya sa isang punungkahoy.
31 Siya'y itinaas ng Diyos sa kanyang kanang kamay bilang Pinuno at Tagapagligtas, upang bigyan ang Israel ng pagkakataong magsisi,[b] at ng kapatawaran ng mga kasalanan.
32 Kami'y mga saksi sa mga bagay na ito, gayundin ang Espiritu Santo na ibinigay ng Diyos sa mga sumusunod sa kanya.”
33 Nang marinig nila ito, sila'y napoot at ninais na sila'y patayin.
34 Ngunit may isang Fariseo sa Sanhedrin na ang pangalan ay Gamaliel, guro ng kautusan, iginagalang ng buong bayan, ang tumindig at nag-utos na ilabas na sandali ang mga lalaki.
35 Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Kayong mga lalaking taga-Israel, mag-ingat kayo sa inyong sarili tungkol sa inyong gagawin sa mga taong ito.
36 Sapagkat bago pa ang mga araw na ito ay lumitaw na si Teudas, na nagsabing siya'y dakila; at sumama sa kanya ang may apatnaraang tao ang bilang, ngunit siya'y pinatay at ang lahat ng sumunod sa kanya ay nagkawatak-watak at nawalan ng kabuluhan.
37 Pagkatapos nito ay lumitaw si Judas na taga-Galilea nang mga araw ng pagpapatala at nakaakit siya ng mga taong sumunod sa kanya; siya man ay napahamak at ang lahat ng sumunod sa kanya'y nagkawatak-watak.
38 Ngayo'y sinasabi ko sa inyo, iwasan ninyo ang mga taong ito, at hayaan ninyo sila; sapagkat kung ang panukalang ito, o ang gawang ito ay mula sa tao, ito'y mawawasak.
39 Ngunit kung ito'y sa Diyos, hindi ninyo sila makakayang wasakin. Baka matagpuan pa kayong nakikipaglaban sa Diyos!”
40 Sila'y napaniwala niya. Nang maipatawag nila ang mga apostol, hinagupit sila at inutusang huwag nang magsalita sa pangalan ni Jesus, at sila'y pinalaya.
41 Sa kanilang pag-alis sa Sanhedrin, nagalak sila na ituring na karapat-dapat magtiis ng kahihiyan alang-alang sa Pangalan.
42 Araw-araw, sa templo at sa mga bahay-bahay, hindi sila tumigil sa pagtuturo at pangangaral na si Jesus ang Cristo.

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.
Acts 5
English Standard Version
Ananias and Sapphira
5 But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property, 2 and with his wife's knowledge (A)he kept back for himself some of the proceeds and brought only a part of it and (B)laid it at the apostles' feet. 3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has (C)Satan filled your heart to lie (D)to the Holy Spirit and (E)to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land? 4 While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? Why is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to man but (F)to God.” 5 When Ananias heard these words, he (G)fell down and breathed his last. And (H)great fear came upon all who heard of it. 6 The young men rose and (I)wrapped him up and carried him out and buried him.
7 After an interval of about three hours his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 And Peter said to her, “Tell me whether you[a] sold the land for so much.” And she said, “Yes, for so much.” 9 But Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together (J)to test (K)the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.” 10 Immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. When the young men came in they found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband. 11 And (L)great fear came upon the whole church and upon all who heard of these things.
Many Signs and Wonders Done
12 Now many signs and wonders were regularly done among the people (M)by the hands of the apostles. And they were all (N)together in (O)Solomon's Portico. 13 None of the rest dared join them, but (P)the people held them in high esteem. 14 And (Q)more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, 15 (R)so that they even (S)carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, that as Peter came by (T)at least his shadow might fall on some of them. 16 The people also gathered from the towns around Jerusalem, (U)bringing the sick and those afflicted with unclean spirits, and they were all healed.
The Apostles Arrested and Freed
17 But the high priest rose up, and all who were with him (that is, the party of (V)the Sadducees), and filled with (W)jealousy 18 they arrested the apostles and (X)put them in the public prison. 19 But during the night (Y)an angel of the Lord (Z)opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said, 20 “Go and stand in the temple and speak to the people all (AA)the words of (AB)this (AC)Life.” 21 And when they heard this, (AD)they entered the temple (AE)at daybreak and began to teach.
Now when the high priest came, and those who were with him, they called together the council, all the senate of the people of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought. 22 But when the officers came, they did not find them in the prison, so they returned and reported, 23 “We found the prison securely locked and the guards standing at the doors, but when we opened them we found no one inside.” 24 Now when (AF)the captain of the temple and the chief priests heard these words, they were greatly perplexed about them, wondering what this would come to. 25 And someone came and told them, “Look! The men whom you put in prison (AG)are standing in the temple and teaching the people.” 26 Then (AH)the captain with the officers went and brought them, but not by force, for (AI)they were afraid of being stoned by the people.
27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest questioned them, 28 saying, (AJ)“We strictly charged you not to teach in this name, yet here you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you (AK)intend to bring this man's blood upon us.” 29 But Peter and the apostles answered, (AL)“We must obey God rather than men. 30 (AM)The God of our fathers (AN)raised Jesus, (AO)whom you killed by hanging him on (AP)a tree. 31 God exalted (AQ)him at his right hand as (AR)Leader and (AS)Savior, (AT)to give (AU)repentance to Israel and (AV)forgiveness of sins. 32 And (AW)we are witnesses to these things, and (AX)so is the Holy Spirit, (AY)whom God has given to those who obey him.”
33 When they heard this, they (AZ)were enraged and wanted to kill them. 34 But a Pharisee in the council named (BA)Gamaliel, (BB)a teacher of the law held in honor by all the people, stood up and gave orders to put the men outside for a little while. 35 And he said to them, “Men of Israel, take care what you are about to do with these men. 36 For (BC)before these days Theudas rose up, (BD)claiming to be somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined him. He was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing. 37 After him Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of (BE)the census and drew away some of the people after him. He too perished, and all who followed him were scattered. 38 So in the present case I tell you, keep away from these men and let them alone, for (BF)if this plan or this undertaking is of man, it will fail; 39 but (BG)if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You (BH)might even be found opposing God!” So they took his advice, 40 and (BI)when they had called in the apostles, (BJ)they beat them and charged them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. 41 Then they left the presence of the council, (BK)rejoicing that they were counted worthy (BL)to suffer dishonor for (BM)the name. 42 And every day, (BN)in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and (BO)preaching (BP)that the Christ is Jesus.
