Εἶπεν Said δέ however ὁ - Πέτρος· Peter, Ἁνανία, Ananias, διά because of τί why ἐπλήρωσεν has filled ὁ - Σατανᾶς Satan τήν the καρδίαν heart σου, of you ψεύσασθαι to lie to σε [for] you τό the Πνεῦμα Spirit τό - Ἅγιον Holy καί and νοσφίσασθαι to keep back ἀπό from τῆς the τιμῆς proceeds τοῦ of the χωρίου; land? οὐχί Not μένον remaining σοί to you ἔμενεν did it remain? καί And πραθέν having been sold, ἐν in τῇ the σῇ own ἐξουσίᾳ authority ὑπῆρχεν; it was? τί Why ὅτι - ἔθου did you purpose ἐν in τῇ the καρδίᾳ heart σου of you τό the πρᾶγμα deed τοῦτο; this? οὐ Not ἐψεύσω you have lied ἀνθρώποις to men, ἀλλά but τῷ - Θεῷ. to God! Ἀκούων Hearing δέ now ὁ - Ἁνανίας Ananias τούς the λόγους words τούτους these, πεσών having fallen down, ἐξέψυξεν, he breathed his last. καί And ἐγένετο came φόβος fear μέγας great ἐπί upon πάντας all τούς those ἀκούοντας. hearing. ἀναστάντες Having arisen δέ then, οἱ the νεώτεροι younger [men] συνέστειλαν covered αὐτόν him, καί and ἐξενέγκαντες having carried [him] out, ἔθαψαν. buried [him].

Ἐγένετο It came to pass δέ now ὡς about ὡρῶν hours τριῶν three διάστημα afterward, καί also ἡ the γυνή wife αὐτοῦ of him, μή not εἰδυῖα knowing τό that γεγονός having come to pass, εἰσῆλθεν. came in. ἀπεκρίθη Replied δέ then πρός to αὐτήν her Πέτρος· Peter, Εἰπέ Tell μοι, me εἰ if τοσούτου for so much, τό the χωρίον land ἀπέδοσθε; you sold? ἡ - δέ And εἶπεν· she said, Ναί, Yes, τοσούτου. for so much. ὁ - δέ But Πέτρος Peter [said] πρός to αὐτήν· her, Τί Why [is it] ὅτι that συνεφωνήθη have agreed together ὑμῖν you πειράσαι to test τό the Πνεῦμα Spirit Κυρίου; of [the] Lord? ἰδού Behold, οἱ the πόδες feet τῶν of those θαψάντων having buried τόν the ἄνδρα husband σου of you ἐπί [are] at τῇ the θύρᾳ door, καί and ἐξοίσουσιν they will carry out σε. you.
