Həvarilərin Işləri 3
1 Bir gün Peterlə Yəhya doqquzuncu saatda, dua vaxtı məbədə gedirdilər.
[One day] Peter and John were going to the Temple [courtyard]. It was three o’clock in the afternoon, which was the time when people prayed [there publicly].
2 Bu zaman ayaqları anadangəlmə şikəst olan bir kişi məbədin Gözəl adlı qapısına gətirilirdi. Hər gün bu adamı ona görə oraya gətirərdilər ki, məbədə gəlib-gedənlərdən dilənərək nəzir alsın.
There was a man there who had been lame from the time he was born. He [was sitting by] the gate called Beautiful [Gate], at the entrance to the Temple [area]. People put him there every day, so that he could ask those who were entering [or leaving] the temple courtyard to give him some money.
3 O, məbədə girən Peterlə Yəhyanı görüb onlardan nəzir istədi.
As Peter and John were about to enter [the Temple courtyard], the lame man saw them and asked them several times to give him some money. (OR, The lame man said to them several times, “Please give me some money!”)
4 Peterlə Yəhya ona diqqətlə baxdı. Peter ona dedi: «Bizə bax».
As Peter and John looked directly at him, Peter said to him, “Look at us!”
5 Bu kişi onlardan nə isə umaraq gözlərini onların üzünə dikdi.
So he looked directly at them, expecting to get some [money] from them.
6 Peter ona dedi: «Nə qızılım, nə də gümüşüm var ki, sənə verim. Nəyim varsa, sənə onu verirəm. Nazaretli İsa Məsihin adı ilə qalx, gəz».
Then Peter said to him, “I do not have any money [MTY], but what I [can do], I will [do] for you. Jesus Christ, [who was] from Nazareth [town], has authorized [MTY] me [to heal you! So get up and] walk!”
7 Sonra sağ əlindən tutub onu qaldırdı. Bu kişinin topuqları və ayaqları dərhal qüvvət aldı.
Then Peter grasped the man’s right hand and helped him to stand up. Immediately the man’s feet and ankles became strong.
8 Atılaraq ayağa qalxdı və yeriməyə başladı. Qaçıb tullana-tullana, Allaha həmd edərək onlarla bərabər məbədə girdi.
He jumped up and began to walk! Then he entered the Temple [area] with them, walking and leaping and praising God!
9 Bütün xalq gördü ki, bu kişi yeriyir və Allaha həmd edir.
All the people [there] saw that man walking and praising God.
10 Onun məbədin Gözəl qapısında oturub dilənən kişi olduğunu tanıyanda hamı ondakı dəyişikliyə mat qalıb heyrətə düşdü.
They recognized that he was the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate in the Temple [courtyard] and ask [people] for money! So all the people there were greatly amazed at what had happened to him.
11 Bu kişi Peterin və Yəhyanın əlindən yapışdı. Heyrətə düşən bütün xalq onlara tərəf, Süleymanın eyvanı adlanan yerə qaçdı.
As the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were so surprised [that they did not know what to think] So they ran to the two apostles at the place [in the Temple courtyard] that is called {that [people] call} Solomon’s Porch.
12 Bunu görən Peter xalqa nida etdi: «Ey İsraillilər, burada heyrətamiz nə var ki? Niyə gözlərinizi bizə dikib baxırsınız? Elə bil biz öz qüdrətimizlə, öz möminliyimizlə bu kişinin yeriməsinə səbəb olmuşuq.
When Peter saw that, he said to the crowd, “Fellow Israelites, (you should not be surprised about what has happened to this man!/why are you so surprised about what has happened to this man?) [RHQ] And you should not stare at us, either! You seem to [RHQ] think that the two of us enabled this man to walk because we [(exc)] ourselves are powerful or because we please God very much!
13 İbrahimin Allahı, İshaqın Allahı və Yaqubun Allahı, ata-babalarımızın Allahı Qulu İsanı izzətləndirib. Siz Onu sataraq Pilatın qarşısında rədd etdiniz. Pilat Onu azad etmək üçün qərar vermişdi,
[So I will tell you what is really happening]. Our ancestors, including Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, worshipped God. And now he has greatly honored Jesus, who always served him. Your [leaders] brought Jesus [to the governor, Pilate], so that [his soldiers would kill him]. And [God considers that] in front of Pilate you [were the ones who rejected] Jesus [as your king], after Pilate had decided that he should release Jesus.
14 amma siz Müqəddəs və Saleh Olanı rədd edib bir qatilin azad edilməsini istədiniz.
[Although Jesus] always did what was right/just and good, you rejected him. [Pilate wanted to release him, but] you urgently asked Pilate to release (a murderer/someone who had killed people)!
15 Siz Həyat Banisini öldürdünüz, amma Allah Onu ölülər arasından diriltdi. Biz bunun şahidləriyik.
[God considers that] you killed [Jesus], the one who gives people [eternal] life. But God has greatly honored him (by causing him to become alive again after he died/by raising him from the dead). Many of us saw [him after that, and now] we [(exc)] are telling [you] about it.
16 Gördüyünüz və tanıdığınız bu kişi İsanın adı sayəsində, Onun adına olan imanla sağaldı. İsa vasitəsilə olan imanla bu kişi hamınızın gözü qarşısında tam şəfa tapdı.
It is because [we two] trusted in what Jesus [MTY, PRS] [could do, that he] made this man, whom you see and know, strong again. Yes, it is because we [(exc)] trusted in Jesus that he has completely healed this man for all of you to see.”
17 İndi, ey qardaşlar, bilirəm ki, rəhbərləriniz kimi siz də bunu bilmədən etmisiniz.
“Now, my fellow-countrymen, I know that you and your leaders did that [to Jesus] because you [and they] did not know [that he was the Messiah].
18 Amma Allah peyğəmbərlərin dili ilə Öz Məsihinin əzab çəkməsi barədə əvvəlcədən bəyan etdiyini yerinə yetirdi.
However, [your putting him to death] was what God had predicted that people would do. [Long ago] he told all the prophets [MTY] to write [what people would do to the Messiah. They wrote] that the Messiah, whom God [would send], would suffer [and die].
19 Beləliklə, günahlarınız silinsin deyə tövbə edib Allaha tərəf dönün ki,
So, turn away from your sinful behavior and ask God [to help you] do what pleases [him], in order that he may completely forgive you for your sins.
20 Rəbbin hüzurunda rahatlıq vaxtı tapasınız və O da sizin üçün əvvəlcədən təyin olunan Məsihi, yəni İsanı göndərsin.
[If you do that], there will be times [when you will know that] the Lord [God is] helping [you]. And some day he will [again] send back [to earth] the Messiah, whom he appointed for you. That person is Jesus.
21 Çünki Allahın qədimdən bəri müqəddəs peyğəmbərlərinin dili ilə məlum etdiyi kimi hər şeyin yenidən hazırlanacağı vaxtacan İsanın səmada qalması lazımdır. (aiōn g165)
Jesus must stay in heaven until the time when God will cause all that he has created to become new. Long ago God promised [to do that, and] he chose holy prophets to tell [that to people]. (aiōn g165)
22 Musa belə demişdi: “Allahınız Rəbb sizin üçün öz soydaşlarınız içərisindən mənim kimi bir peyğəmbər yetirəcək. Sizə nə söyləyəcəksə, ona qulaq asın”.
For [example, the prophet] Moses said [this about the Messiah]: ‘The Lord (your God/the God whom you [worship]) will cause someone to become a prophet to tell you [God’s message. God will send him] as [he sent] me, [and he will be] from among your own people. You must listen to everything that this prophet tells you [and obey him] [SYN].
23 “Bu peyğəmbərə qulaq asmayan hər adam xalqı arasından ayrılıb məhv ediləcək”.
[Those who] do not listen to [that prophet and obey] him will no longer belong to God’s people, and [God] will get rid of them’.”
24 Şamueldən başlayaraq bütün peyğəmbərlər bu günləri elan etdilər.
[Peter continued], “All the prophets have told [about what would happen during] the time [MTY] [in which we(inc) are living. Those prophets include] Samuel [and all the others who] later also spoke [about these events] before they happened.
25 Siz də peyğəmbərlərin varisləri, Allahın ata-babalarınızla kəsdiyi Əhdin varislərisiniz. Allah İbrahimə demişdi: “Yer üzünün bütün tayfaları sənin nəslin vasitəsilə xeyir-dua alacaq”.
You [as well as we(exc)] are the people [to whom God sent the Messiah, as] the prophets said [MTY] [that he would]. And when God strongly promised [to bless] our ancestors, he also surely promised to bless you. He said to Abraham [concerning the Messiah], ‘[I] will bless all people on the earth as a result of [what] your descendant [will do].’”
26 Allah hər birinizi pis əməllərinizdən döndərmək və xeyir-dua vermək üçün Öz Qulunu dirildərək əvvəlcə sizin yanınıza göndərdi».
[Peter concluded], “[So] when God sent [to the earth] (Jesus, the one who always obeys him/his servant Jesus), he sent him first to you [Israelites] to bless you. [God will] enable you to stop doing what is wicked [and to start doing what pleases him].”
