Acts 5:3-10

JMNT(i) 3 So Peter said, "Ananias, why (or: through what [situation or circumstance]) did the adversary (or: satan) fill your heart (= the core of yourself) to lie to the Set-apart Breath-effect (or: play false to the Holy Spirit; speak that which is not true, with the Sacred Attitude), and thus to secretly put aside (keep back funds; embezzle) for yourself from the proceeds of the piece of ground (the field; the property; the homestead; the freehold)? 4 "Was it not by all means continuously abiding (remaining; dwelling) with you while it continued remaining [yours]? And then, upon being sold, it continued in your authority and control. Why [is it] that you put (or: fix) this worthless matter (this affair of poor quality; this bad performance-effect) within your heart? You did not play false and lie to humans (people), but rather (or: but on the contrary) to God!" 5 Now after progressively hearing these words, Ananias, immediately falling [down], at once breathed out [his] soul-life. Then great fear and reverence came to be upon all the people presently (or: one after another) hearing [about it]. 6 So after standing up, the younger men enwrapped him for burial, then, after carrying [him] out, they buried [him]. 7 Now it occurred [after] about an interval of three hours that his wife entered – not having seen or known of the thing having occurred (or: not being aware of what had happened). 8 So Peter made a decisive response to her, "Tell me if you folks sold (or: gave from yourself [as a price]) the property for such-and-such." So she said, "Yes, for so much." 9 Then Peter [said] to her, "Why [is it] that it came in symphony to you folks (or: was voiced together by [both] of you) to make [this] attempt [with] the Spirit of [the] Lord (or: to test [Yahweh's, or, Christ's] Breath-effect)? Look and see! The feet of the folks just now burying your husband [are] at the door (or: gate), and they will proceed in carrying you out!" 10 Now she instantly fell to (or: toward) his feet and she breathed out [her] soul-life. So upon entering, the youths found her dead. And then, after carrying [her] out, they buried [her] face-to-face with her husband.
