Travay 5
Haitian Creole Version
5 ¶ Konsa tou, yon nonm yo te rele Ananyas ak Safira madanm li vann yon tè yo te genyen.
2 Men, dakò ak madanm li, Ananyas kenbe enpe nan lajan an pou li, epi li al renmèt apòt yo rès la.
3 Lè sa a, Pyè di li: Ananyas, ki jan ou fè kite Satan antre nan kè ou pou l' fè ou bay Sentespri manti, pou l' fè ou kenbe enpe nan lajan tè a pou ou?
4 Anvan ou te vann tè a, se pa pou ou li te ye? Apre ou te fin vann li, tout lajan an te pou ou, pa vre? Ki jan ou fè mete nan tèt ou pou fè yon bagay konsa? Se pa moun ou bay manti non. Se Bondye ou twonpe.
5 Lè Ananyas tande pawòl sa yo, li tonbe, li mouri frèt. Tout moun ki tande nouvèl la te pè anpil.
6 Men, kèk jenn gason vini, yo vlope kò a; yo pran l', y' al antere li.
7 Twazèdetan apre, madanm Ananyas, ki pa t' konn sak te rive, vin antre.
8 Pyè mande li: Di mwen, èske se pou pri sa a nou te vann jaden an? Li reponn: Wi, se pou pri sa a.
9 Lè sa a, Pyè di li: Poukisa, ou menm ak mari ou, nou fè konbinezon sa a ansanm pou n' chache pran Lespri Bondye a nan pèlen? Koute: Moun ki antere mari ou la, men yo la nan papòt la. Yo pral pote ou ale, ou menm tou.
10 Menm lè a, li tonbe atè nan pye Pyè, li mouri frèt. Jenn gason yo antre, yo jwenn li mouri. Yo pran l', y' al antere bò kot mari li.
11 Tout legliz la ak tout moun ki te tande bagay sa yo te pè anpil.
12 ¶ Apòt yo t'ap fè anpil mirak ak anpil bèl bagay nan mitan pèp la. Yo tout te reyini ansanm anba Galeri Salomon an.
13 Tout moun te pè mele ak yo, apa moun ki te kwè yo. Men, pèp la t'ap pale byen sou yo.
14 Anpil moun, fanm kou gason, t'ap vin jwenn disip yo paske yo te kwè nan Seyè a.
15 Lè sa a, yo tanmen pote moun malad yo deyò nan lari. Yo mete yo sou kabann, sou nat, yon jan pou lè Pyè vin ap pase menm lonbray li te ka kouvri kèk nan yo.
16 Moun te soti nan tout ti bouk ki nan vwazinaj Jerizalèm. Yo pote moun malad ak moun move lespri t'ap toumante. Yo tout te geri.
17 ¶ Lè sa a, yon sèl jalouzi pran granprèt la ansanm ak sadiseyen yo ki te patizan li.
18 Yo fè arete apòt yo, mete yo nan gran prizon.
19 Men, nan mitan lannwit, yon zanj Bondye louvri pòt prizon an, li fè apòt yo soti. Li di yo:
20 Ale kanpe nan mitan tanp lan, epi anonse pèp la tout bagay sou jan pou yo viv koulye a.
21 Apòt yo obeyi zanj lan: Nan granmaten, y' al nan tanp lan epi yo tanmen moutre pèp la anpil bagay. Granprèt la ansanm ak patizan l' yo sanble tout chèf fanmi nan pèp Izrayèl la, yo reyini Gran Konsèy la. Apre sa, yo voye chache apòt yo nan prizon an.
22 Men, lè gad yo rive nan prizon an, yo pa jwenn yo. Yo tounen nan Gran Konsèy la, yo fè rapò yo. Yo di:
23 Nou jwenn prizon an byen fèmen, avèk gad yo nan pòs devan pòt prizon an. Men, lè nou louvri pòt yo, nou pa jwenn pesonn anndan an.
24 Lè kòmandan lagad tanp lan ak chèf prèt yo tande sa, yo t'ap mande ki jan apòt yo fè disparèt, kisa ki te rive.
25 Men, yon moun vin rive, li di yo: Mesye nou te mete nan prizon yo, men yo nan tanp lan, y'ap pale ak pèp la.
26 ¶ Lè sa a, kòmandan lagad la ale avèk gad li yo, li mennen apòt yo tounen. Men, yo pa t' aji brital ak yo paske yo te pè pou pèp la pa t' touye yo ak kout wòch.
27 Lè yo mennen yo tounen, yo fè yo konparèt devan Gran Konsèy la. Epi granprèt la pran poze yo keksyon.
28 Li di yo: Eske nou pa t' defann nou pale ak pèp la nan non nonm sa a? Gade sa n' fè. Nou gaye pawòl nou yo nan tout Jerizalèm. Nou vle rann nou reskonsab lanmò nonm lan.
29 Pyè ansanm ak lòt apòt yo reponn li: Se pou n' obeyi Bondye pase pou n' obeyi moun.
30 Bondye zansèt nou yo te fè Jezi leve soti vivan nan lanmò, Jezi nou te fè touye lè n' te kloure l' sou kwa a.
31 Bondye fè l' moute chita sou bò dwat li, li mete l' Chèf sou nou, li fè l' delivre nou. Li fè sa pou bay pèp Izrayèl la yon bèl chans pou l' tounen vin jwenn Bondye, pou l' resevwa padon pou peche l' yo.
32 Nou se temwen tout bagay sa yo, nou menm ansanm ak Sentespri Bondye bay tout moun ki obeyi l' yo.
33 Lè yo tande pawòl sa yo, manm Gran Konsèy yo fin pran chenn. Tèlman yo te ankòlè, yo te vle fè touye apòt yo.
34 Men, te gen yon farizyen nan mitan yo ki te rele Gamalyèl. Se te yon dirèktè lalwa tout pèp la te respekte anpil. Li kanpe nan mitan Konsèy la, li mande pou fè apòt yo soti yon ti moman.
35 Apre sa, li di: Nou menm moun pèp Izrayèl, pran tèt nou anvan nou fè sa nou pral fè ak mesye yo.
36 Sa pa gen lontan, yon nonm yo rele Tedas te parèt. Li te pran pòz grannèg li. Li jwenn katsan (400) moun konsa ki te mete tèt ansanm avè li. Yo touye l', epi tout moun ki t'ap swiv li yo gaye. Se konsa mouvman an tonbe.
37 Apre sa, lè resansman an, te gen Jida, yon nonm Galile, ki te parèt. Li te trennen yon bann moun dèyè li. Li menm tou, yo touye li. Epi tout moun ki t'ap swiv li yo gaye tou.
38 Pou koulye a, men sa m'ap di nou: Pa okipe mesye sa yo ankò. Kite y ale. Si plan travay yo a soti nan lèzòm, li gen pou l' disparèt.
39 Men, si sa soti nan Bondye, nou p'ap kapab kraze li. Atansyon pou se pa avèk Bondye nou gen zafè! Manm Konsèy yo tonbe dakò avèk Gamalyèl.
40 Yo rele apòt yo ankò. Yo fè yo bat yo byen bat, yo pase yo lòd pou yo pa pale nan non Jezi ankò. Apre sa yo lage yo.
41 Apòt yo kite Gran Konsèy la. Yo te kontan dèske Bondye te wè yo merite pou moun te avili yo konsa poutèt non Jezi.
42 Toulejou, yo te nan tanp lan, yo t'ap mache kay an kay, yo pa t' janm sispann moutre moun yo anpil bagay. Yo t'ap anonse Bon Nouvèl ki pale sou Jezikri a.

Lying to the Holy Spirit
5 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession. 2 And he kept back part of the proceeds, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet. 3 (A)But Peter said, “Ananias, why has (B)Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? 4 While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.”
5 Then Ananias, hearing these words, (C)fell down and breathed his last. So great fear came upon all those who heard these things. 6 And the young men arose and (D)wrapped him up, carried him out, and buried him.
7 Now it was about three hours later when his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 And Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much?”
She said, “Yes, for so much.”
9 Then Peter said to her, “How is it that you have agreed together (E)to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.” 10 (F)Then immediately she fell down at his feet and breathed her last. And the young men came in and found her dead, and carrying her out, buried her by her husband. 11 (G)So great fear came upon all the church and upon all who heard these things.
Continuing Power in the Church
12 And (H)through the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. (I)And they were all with one accord in Solomon’s Porch. 13 Yet (J)none of the rest dared join them, (K)but the people esteemed them highly. 14 And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women, 15 so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, (L)that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them. 16 Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing (M)sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were all healed.
Imprisoned Apostles Freed
17 (N)Then the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with [a]indignation, 18 (O)and laid their hands on the apostles and put them in the common prison. 19 But at night (P)an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said, 20 “Go, stand in the temple and speak to the people (Q)all the words of this life.”
21 And when they heard that, they entered the temple early in the morning and taught. (R)But the high priest and those with him came and called the [b]council together, with all the [c]elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
Apostles on Trial Again
22 But when the officers came and did not find them in the prison, they returned and reported, 23 saying, “Indeed we found the prison shut securely, and the guards standing [d]outside before the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside!” 24 Now when [e]the high priest, (S)the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these things, they wondered what the outcome would be. 25 So one came and told them, [f]saying, “Look, the men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people!”
26 Then the captain went with the officers and brought them without violence, (T)for they feared the people, lest they should be stoned. 27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them, 28 saying, (U)“Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, (V)and intend to bring this Man’s (W)blood on us!”
29 But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: (X)“We ought to obey God rather than men. 30 (Y)The God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by (Z)hanging on a tree. 31 (AA)Him God has exalted to His right hand to be (AB)Prince and (AC)Savior, (AD)to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. 32 And (AE)we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit (AF)whom God has given to those who obey Him.”
Gamaliel’s Advice
33 When they heard this, they were (AG)furious[g] and plotted to kill them. 34 Then one in the council stood up, a Pharisee named (AH)Gamaliel, a teacher of the law held in respect by all the people, and commanded them to put the apostles outside for a little while. 35 And he said to them: “Men of Israel, [h]take heed to yourselves what you intend to do regarding these men. 36 For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody. A number of men, about four hundred, [i]joined him. He was slain, and all who obeyed him were scattered and came to nothing. 37 After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census, and drew away many people after him. He also perished, and all who obeyed him were dispersed. 38 And now I say to you, keep away from these men and let them alone; for if this plan or this work is of men, it will come to nothing; 39 (AI)but if it is of God, you cannot overthrow it—lest you even be found (AJ)to fight against God.”
40 And they agreed with him, and when they had (AK)called for the apostles (AL)and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. 41 So they departed from the presence of the council, (AM)rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for [j]His name. 42 And daily (AN)in the temple, and in every house, (AO)they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ.

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.

Ananias and Sapphira
5 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. 2 With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself,(A) but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet.(B)
3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan(C) has so filled your heart(D) that you have lied to the Holy Spirit(E) and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land?(F) 4 Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal?(G) What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”(H)
5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died.(I) And great fear(J) seized all who heard what had happened. 6 Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body,(K) and carried him out and buried him.
7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 Peter asked her, “Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?”
“Yes,” she said, “that is the price.”(L)
9 Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord?(M) Listen! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.”
10 At that moment she fell down at his feet and died.(N) Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband.(O) 11 Great fear(P) seized the whole church and all who heard about these events.
The Apostles Heal Many
12 The apostles performed many signs and wonders(Q) among the people. And all the believers used to meet together(R) in Solomon’s Colonnade.(S) 13 No one else dared join them, even though they were highly regarded by the people.(T) 14 Nevertheless, more and more men and women believed in the Lord and were added to their number.(U) 15 As a result, people brought the sick into the streets and laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter’s shadow might fall on some of them as he passed by.(V) 16 Crowds gathered also from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing their sick and those tormented by impure spirits, and all of them were healed.(W)
The Apostles Persecuted
17 Then the high priest and all his associates, who were members of the party(X) of the Sadducees,(Y) were filled with jealousy. 18 They arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail.(Z) 19 But during the night an angel(AA) of the Lord opened the doors of the jail(AB) and brought them out.(AC) 20 “Go, stand in the temple courts,” he said, “and tell the people all about this new life.”(AD)
21 At daybreak they entered the temple courts, as they had been told, and began to teach the people.
When the high priest and his associates(AE) arrived, they called together the Sanhedrin(AF)—the full assembly of the elders of Israel—and sent to the jail for the apostles. 22 But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there.(AG) So they went back and reported, 23 “We found the jail securely locked, with the guards standing at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside.” 24 On hearing this report, the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests(AH) were at a loss, wondering what this might lead to.
25 Then someone came and said, “Look! The men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people.” 26 At that, the captain went with his officers and brought the apostles. They did not use force, because they feared that the people(AI) would stone them.
27 The apostles were brought in and made to appear before the Sanhedrin(AJ) to be questioned by the high priest. 28 “We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name,”(AK) he said. “Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man’s blood.”(AL)
29 Peter and the other apostles replied: “We must obey God rather than human beings!(AM) 30 The God of our ancestors(AN) raised Jesus from the dead(AO)—whom you killed by hanging him on a cross.(AP) 31 God exalted him to his own right hand(AQ) as Prince and Savior(AR) that he might bring Israel to repentance and forgive their sins.(AS) 32 We are witnesses of these things,(AT) and so is the Holy Spirit,(AU) whom God has given to those who obey him.”
33 When they heard this, they were furious(AV) and wanted to put them to death. 34 But a Pharisee named Gamaliel,(AW) a teacher of the law,(AX) who was honored by all the people, stood up in the Sanhedrin and ordered that the men be put outside for a little while. 35 Then he addressed the Sanhedrin: “Men of Israel, consider carefully what you intend to do to these men. 36 Some time ago Theudas appeared, claiming to be somebody, and about four hundred men rallied to him. He was killed, all his followers were dispersed, and it all came to nothing. 37 After him, Judas the Galilean appeared in the days of the census(AY) and led a band of people in revolt. He too was killed, and all his followers were scattered. 38 Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail.(AZ) 39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.”(BA)
40 His speech persuaded them. They called the apostles in and had them flogged.(BB) Then they ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
41 The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing(BC) because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name.(BD) 42 Day after day, in the temple courts(BE) and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news(BF) that Jesus is the Messiah.(BG)
