¹But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira, his wife, sold a possession,

¹Quicuan jun li cuînk aj Ananías xc'aba'. Quixc'ayi jun lix ch'och' rochben lix Safira li rixakil.

²and kept back part of the price, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

²Ut que'xc'ûb ru chi ribileb rib nak yijach lix tz'ak li ch'och' tâcanâk chok' reheb. Ut li yijach chic quixc'am laj Ananías riq'uineb li apóstol ut quixye reheb: -A'an a'in chixjunil lix tz'ak li kach'och' li xkac'ayi, chan.

³But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of the price of the land?

³Laj Pedro quixye re: -At Ananías, ¿c'a'ut nak xaq'ue âcuib chirâle laj tza? ¿C'a'ut nak yôcat chixbalak'inquil li Santil Musik'ej riq'uin nak yôcat chixcanabanquil yijach lix tz'ak li ch'och' chok' âcue?

⁴While you kept it, didn’t it remain your own? After it was sold, wasn’t it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You haven’t lied to men, but to God.”

⁴¿C'a'ut nak tat-oc xmukbal xtz'ak lâ ch'och'? ¿Ma mâcua' ta bi' âcue? Cui xac'ayi lâ ch'och', ¿ma inc'a' ta bi' raj xru xcana chok' âcue lix tz'ak? Mâcua' chiku lâo yôcat chi tic'ti'ic. Chiru ban li Dios, chan.

⁵Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard these things.

⁵Nak quirabi li âtin li quixye laj Pedro, quit'ane' laj Ananías ut camenak quicana. Ut c'ajo' nak qui-oc xxiuheb chixjunileb li que'iloc re jo'queb ajcui' li que'abin resil.

⁶The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.

⁶Ut eb li cuînk li toj sâjeb li cuanqueb aran que'xlan li camenak, que'xpako ut que'xc'am re te'xmuk.

⁷About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.

⁷Ac xnume' na chic oxib ôr nak quicuulac lix Safira li rixakil. Inc'a' naxnau c'a'ru ac xc'ulman.

⁸Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” She said, “Yes, for so much.”

⁸Laj Pedro quixye re: -Ye cue. ¿Ma jo' a'in xec'ayi cui' lê ch'och'?- Ut lix Safira quixye: -Yâl, jo'can xkac'ayi cui', chan.

⁹But Peter asked her, “How is it that you have agreed together to tempt 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.”

⁹Ut laj Pedro quixye cui'chic re: -¿C'a'ut nak xec'ûb chêribil êrib xyalbal rix li Santil Musik'ej? Cue'queb chak li xe'mukuc chak re lâ bêlom ut tate'xc'am ajcui' lâat, chan.

¹⁰She fell down immediately at his feet, and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.

¹⁰Ut sa' ajcui' li hônal a'an lix Safira quit'ane' chi rok laj Pedro ut camenak quicana. Eb li cuînk que'oc sa' cab ut que'ril nak camenak chic. Que'risi ut coxe'xmuk chak chixc'atk lix bêlom.

¹¹Great fear came on the whole assembly, and on all who heard these things.

¹¹C'ajo' nak qui-oc xxiuheb chixjunileb laj pâbanel jo'queb ajcui' chixjunileb li que'abin re li resil a'in.

¹²By the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. They were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.

¹²Rajlal neque'xch'utub ribeb sa' xmu li templo chixjunileb laj pâbanel cuan cui' li oquebâl Salomón xc'aba'. Nabal li milagro que'xbânu eb li apóstol ut nabal li sachba ch'ôlej.

¹³None of the rest dared to join them, however the people honored them.

¹³Usta eb li tenamit neque'xq'ue xlok'aleb laj pâbanel, abanan neque'xucuac chi xic sa' xyânkeb.

¹⁴More believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women.

¹⁴C'ajo' nak yôqueb chi tâmc li yôqueb chi pâbânc re li Kâcua', jo' cuînk jo' ixk.

¹⁵They even carried out the sick into the streets, and laid them on cots and mattresses, so that as Peter came by, at the least his shadow might overshadow some of them.

¹⁵Ut nabaleb li que'xc'am chak lix yajeb ut que'xyocob sa' lix cuarib malaj chiru lix pôp chire be. Que'raj nak laj Pedro tixq'uirtesiheb. Eb a'an que'xc'oxla nak usta yal tânumek' chiruheb, te'q'uirâk.

¹⁶Multitudes also came together from the cities around Jerusalem, bringing sick people, and those who were tormented by unclean spirits: and they were all healed.

¹⁶Nabaleb li que'chal chak sa' eb li tenamit li cuanqueb chi nach' riq'uin Jerusalén. Que'xc'am chak li yaj ut eb li cuan mâus aj musik'ej riq'uineb. Ut chixjunileb quilaje'q'uirtesîc.

¹⁷But the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy,

¹⁷Ut li xyucua'il aj tij ut eb laj saduceo li cuanqueb rochben, c'ajo' nak que'oc xcakalinquileb li apóstol.

¹⁸and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in public custody.

¹⁸Jo'can nak que'xtakla xchapbaleb ut que'xq'ueheb sa' li tz'alam li neque'q'uehe' cui' yalak ani.

¹⁹But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out, and said,

¹⁹Abanan chiru li k'ojyîn a'an jun lix ángel li Kâcua' quixte lix puertil li tz'alam ut quirisiheb sa' tz'alam ut quixye reheb:

²⁰“Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.”

²⁰-Ayukex sa' li templo ut têch'olob xyâlal chiruheb li tenamit chirix li ac' yu'am, chan reheb.

²¹When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and those who 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.

²¹Cuulajak chic nak toj ek'ela que'côeb sa' li templo eb li apóstol ut que'oc chixch'olobanquil lix yâlal chiruheb li tenamit jo' quiyehe' reheb xban li ángel. Sa' ajcui' li ek'ela a'an que'cuulac li xbênil aj tij rochbeneb chixjunileb li neque'tenk'an re, ut que'xbokeb li jun ch'ol chic li neque'c'amoc be chiruheb laj judío jo'queb ajcui' li neque'taklan sa' xbêneb. Ut que'xtakla xyebal re laj ilol tz'alam nak te'c'amek' li apóstol riq'uineb.

²²But the officers who came didn’t find them in the prison. They returned and reported,

²²Que'cuulac li takl sa' li tz'alam ut inc'a' chic que'ta'e' li apóstol aran. Jo'can nak que'suk'i chixyebal resil ut que'xye:

²³“We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside!”

²³-Relic chi yâl li tz'alam tz'aptz'o chi us nak xkatau. Ut eb laj c'ac'alenel cuanqueb chire li oquebâl. Nak xkate li tz'alam, inc'a' chic xkatauheb li cuînk chi sa', chanqueb li takl.

²⁴Now when the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were very perplexed about them and what might become of this.

²⁴Nak que'rabi a'an, eb li xbênil aj tij ut eb li neque'taklan sa' xbêneb li soldado li neque'c'ac'alen sa' li templo, que'sach xch'ôleb ut que'oc chixc'oxlanquil c'a'ru tâcanâk cui' li yô chi c'ulmânc.

²⁵One came and told them, “Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people.”

²⁵Quichal jun ut quixye reheb: -Eb li cuînk li que'q'uehe' sa' tz'alam ecuêr cuanqueb sa' li templo ut yôqueb chixch'olobanquil lix yâlal chiruheb li tenamit, chan.

²⁶Then the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.

²⁶Cô ut li jun li nataklan sa' xbêneb li soldado rochbeneb lix takl. Ut que'xc'ameb chak li apóstol sa' usilal xban nak que'xucuac. Que'xc'oxla nak mâre te'cutek' chi pec xbaneb li tenamit.

²⁷When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them,

²⁷Que'c'ame' laj Pedro ut laj Juan ut que'xakabâc chiru li xyucua'il aj tij ut chiruheb li cuanqueb rochben. Ut li xyucua'il aj tij quiâtinac riq'uineb ut quixye reheb:

²⁸saying, “Didn’t we strictly command you not to teach in this name? Behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood on us.”

²⁸-¿Ma inc'a' ta bi' xkaye êre nak inc'a' chic têtzoleb li tenamit sa' xc'aba' li cuînk a'an? Lâex yôquex chixc'utbal li tijleb a'an sa' chixjunil Jerusalén ut têraj xq'uebal sa' kabên lix camic li cuînk a'an, chanqueb.

²⁹But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.

²⁹Laj Pedro, jo'queb ajcui' li rech apostolil, que'chak'oc ut que'xye: -¿Ma takak'et li c'a'ru naxye li Dios ut takapâb li c'a'ru neque'xye li cuînk? Inc'a'. Tento takapâb li c'a'ru naxye li Dios.

³⁰The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.

³⁰Li Dios li que'xlok'oni chak li kaxe'tônil yucua', a'an li quicuaclesin cui'chic re li Jesús chi yo'yo sa' xyânkeb li camenak, li queq'ue chi camsîc chiru cruz lâex.

³¹God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.

³¹Li Jesús, a'an li quiq'uehe' xlok'al xban li Dios ut quiq'uehe' chi c'ojlâc sa' xnim uk' ut quiq'uehe' xcuanquil chi taklânc ut chi coloc, re nak laj Israel naru te'yot'ek' xch'ôleb te'xjal xc'a'ux ut te'cuyek' xmâqueb.

³²We are His witnesses of these things; and so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”

³²Lâo xkil a'an riq'uin ku. Jo'can nak nakach'olob xyâlal a'in ut li Santil Musik'ej li naxq'ue li Dios reheb li neque'pâban, a'an ajcui' nac'utuc re lix yâlal a'in, chanqueb.

³³But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and determined to kill them.

³³Li xyucua'il aj tij ut li cuanqueb rochben, c'ajo' nak que'josk'o' nak que'rabi li quixye laj Pedro ut que'raj raj xcamsinquileb li apóstol.

³⁴But one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honored by all the people, and commanded to put the apostles out for a little while.

³⁴Abanan sa' xyânkeb a'an cuan jun aj fariseo aj Gamaliel xc'aba'. Li cuînk a'an aj tzolol chak'rab ut naq'uehe' xcuanquil xbaneb li tenamit. Quixakli chiruheb ut quixtakla risinquileb li apóstol junpât chirix cab.

³⁵He said to them, “You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do.

³⁵Ut quixye reheb: -Ex cuînk aj Israel, c'oxlahomak chi us c'a'ru têbânu riq'uineb li cuînk a'in.

³⁶For before these days Theudas rose up, making himself out 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 dispersed, and came to nothing.

³⁶Q'uehomak retal li c'a'ru quixc'ul laj Teudas. A'an quixye nak k'axal nim xcuanquil. Cuan na câhibak ciento chi cuînk li neque'tâken re. Aban li jun a'an quicamsîc ut chixjunileb li que'tâken re quilaje'xcha'cha'i ribeb ut que'oso' yal chi jo'can.

³⁷After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the enrollment, and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.

³⁷Ut jo'can ajcui' quixc'ul laj Judas, Galilea xtenamit, nak quic'ulun sa' xk'ehil chixtz'îbanquil xc'aba'eb li tenamit. Quixbalak'iheb nabaleb li tenamit. Quicam ajcui' a'an ut chixjunileb li que'tâken re que'cha'cha'îc.

³⁸Now I tell you, withdraw from these men, and leave them alone. For if this counsel or this work is of men, it will be overthrown.

³⁸Anakcuan lâin tinye êre: Canabomakeb li cuînk a'in. Mêch'i'ch'i'iheb chic xban nak cui li c'anjel a'in yal xc'a'ux cuînk, tâosok'.

³⁹But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow it, and you would be found even to be fighting against God!”

³⁹Abanan cui ut re li Dios, inc'a' texrûk chixpo'bal ru. Q'uehomak retal chi us mâre anchal yôquex chi pletic riq'uin li Dios, chan laj Gamaliel.

⁴⁰They agreed with him. Summoning the apostles, they beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

⁴⁰Ut que'xc'ul xch'ôl li quixye. Que'xbokeb li apóstol ut que'xq'ueheb chi saq'uec' ut que'xye reheb nak inc'a' chic te'âtinak sa' xc'aba' li Jesús. Ut chirix a'an, que'ach'abâc.

⁴¹They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for Jesus’ name.

⁴¹Ut eb li apóstol que'el chiruheb chi k'axal sa sa' xch'ôleb xban nak chiruheb a'an lok' xc'ulbal li raylal sa' xc'aba' li Jesús.Ut inc'a' que'xcanab xch'olobanquil xyâlal chiruheb li tenamit sa' li templo ut sa' eb li rochoch ut que'xye resil nak li Jesucristo, a'an laj Colonel li yechi'inbil xban li Dios.

⁴²Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and preaching Jesus, the Christ.

⁴²Ut inc'a' que'xcanab xch'olobanquil xyâlal chiruheb li tenamit sa' li templo ut sa' eb li rochoch ut que'xye resil nak li Jesucristo, a'an laj Colonel li yechi'inbil xban li Dios.
