Acts 9
1 But, Saul, yet breathing threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, going unto the High-priest,
But Saul still breathing out threats and murder toward the disciples of the Lord, having gone to the high priest,
2 asked from him letters for Damascus, unto the synagogues; to the end that, if he should find, any, who were of The Way, whether men or women, he might bring them, bound, unto Jerusalem.
requested from him letters in Damascus to the synagogues, so that if any he shall find of the way being men both and women, bound he may bring [them] to Jerusalem.
3 But, as he was journeying, it came to pass that he was drawing near unto Damascus, and, suddenly, there flashed around him a light out of heaven;
In now proceeding it came to pass [as] he [is] drawing near to Damascus, suddenly (also *N+kO) him flashed around a light (from *N+kO) heaven;
4 And, falling unto the earth, he heard a voice saying unto him—Saul! Saul! why, me, art thou persecuting?
And having fallen on the ground he heard a voice saying to him; Saul Saul, why Me do you persecute?
5 And he said—Who art thou, Lord? And, he, [said] —I, am Jesus, whom, thou, art persecuting!
He said then; Who are You, Lord? And [He said] (Lord said: *k) I myself am Jesus whom you yourself are persecuting (hard to you to stingers to kick; *K)
6 But rise up, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
(they tremble then and were astonished he said Lord what me you desire to do and the Lord [said] to him *K) (But *NO) do rise up and do enter into the city, and it will be told you (that *N+o) (what *NK+o) you it behooves to do.
7 But, the men who were accompanying him, stood speechless, —hearing, indeed, the voice, but beholding no one.
And the men those traveling with him had stood speechless, hearing indeed the voice, no one however seeing.
8 And Saul arose from the earth, and, his eyes being opened, he could see nothing; and, taking him by the hand, they led him into Damascus, —
Rose up then Saul from the ground, opened (however *NK+o) the eyes of him (no [thing] *N+kO) he was seeing; Leading by the hand then him they brought [him] to Damascus.
9 And he was three days without seeing, and did neither eat nor drink.
And he was days three without seeing and neither did he eat nor drink.
10 Now there was a certain disciple in Damascus, by name Ananias; and, the Lord, said unto him in a vision—Ananias! And, he, said—Lo! I, [am here], Lord!
There was now a certain disciple in Damascus named Ananias, And said to him in a vision the Lord; Ananias. And he said; Behold me myself, Lord.
11 And the Lord [said] unto him—Rise! go into the street which is called Straight, and seek, in the house of Judas, one Saul, by name, of Tarsus. For lo! he is praying, —
And the Lord to him [said]; (Having risen up *NK+o) do go into the street which is being called Straight and do seek in [the] house of Judas Saul named of Tarsus; Behold for he is praying
12 And hath seen a man [in a vision], Ananias by name, coming in and laying on him his hands, to the intent he should see.
and he saw a man in a vision Ananias named having come and having put on him (the *no) (hands, *N+KO) so that he may see again.
13 And Ananias, answered—Lord! I have heard from many concerning this man, how many evil things unto thy saints he hath done in Jerusalem;
Answered but Ananias; Lord, (I have heard *N+kO) from many concerning man this, how many evils to the saints of You he did in Jerusalem;
14 And, here, he hath authority from the High-priests to bind all them that call upon thy name.
and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all those calling on the name of You.
15 But the Lord said unto him—Be going thy way; for, a choice vessel unto me, is this man, to bear my name before both [the] nations and kings, and the sons of Israel;
Said however to him the Lord; do go, for a vessel of choice is to Me this [man] to carry the name of Me before (the *o) Gentiles (and *no) also kings [the] sons then of Israel.
16 For, I, will let him understand how many things he must needs, for my name, suffer.
I myself for will show to him how much it behooves him for the name of Me to suffer.
17 And Ananias departed, and entered into the house; and, laying upon him his hands, said—Saul, brother! The Lord, hath sent me, —Jesus, who appeared unto thee in the way by which thou wast coming, —that thou mayest recover sight, and be filled with Holy Spirit.
Went away then Ananias and entered into the house, and having laid upon him the hands he said; Saul Brother, the Lord has sent me, Jesus the [One] having appeared to you on the road by which you were coming, that you may see again and you may be filled [of the] Spirit Holy.
18 And, straightway, there fell from him—from his eyes, —as it were scales; he recovered sight also, and, arising, was immersed:
And immediately fell of him from the eyes (as *N+kO) scales, he regained his sight also (immediately *K) And having risen up he was baptized,
19 And, receiving food, gained strength. And he came to be with the disciples who were in Damascus certain days;
and having taken food (he strengthened. *NK+o) He was now (Saul *k) with those in Damascus [the] disciple, s days [for] some;
20 And, straightway, in the synagogues, he began proclaiming Jesus, that, This, is the Son of God.
And immediately in the synagogues he was proclaiming (Jesus, *N+KO) that He is the Son of God.
21 And all who were hearing were astonished, and began to say—is not, this, he who destroyed, in Jerusalem, them that invoke this name; and, here, for this purpose, had come, in order that he might lead them, bound, unto the High-priests?
Were amazed then all those hearing and were saying; Surely this is the [one] having caused havoc (in *N+kO) Jerusalem those calling on name this? And here for this he had come that bound them he may bring to the chief priests.
22 But, Saul, was the more gaining power; and was confounding the Jews who dwelt in Damascus, shewing, by comparison, that—This, is the Christ.
Saul however all the more was empowered and was confounding the Jews those dwelling in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
23 Now, when a considerable number of days were being fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him;
When now were passed days many, plotted together the Jews to execute him;
24 But their plot was made known unto Saul, —and they were even narrowly watching the gates, both day and night, that they might kill him;
became known however to Saul the plot of them. (They were themselves watching now *N+kO) (also *no) the gates by day and also night, so that him they may execute;
25 But the disciples, taking him by night, through the wall, let him down, lowering him in a basket.
having taken however the disciples (of him *NO) by night through the wall they let down him having lowered [him] in a basket.
26 And, when he had arrived in Jerusalem, he made attempts to join himself unto the disciples; and all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
Having arrived then (Saul *k) (in *NK+o) Jerusalem (he was trying *N+kO) to join to the disciples; And all were afraid of him not believing that he is a disciple.
27 But, Barnabas, taking him, brought him unto the apostles, and related unto them, —how, in the way, he had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken unto him; and how, in Damascus, he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus.
Barnabas however having taken him he brought [him] to the apostles and he related to them how on the road he had seen the Lord and that He had spoken to him and how in Damascus he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus.
28 And he was with them, coming in and going out in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord;
And he was with them coming in and going out (in *N+kO) Jerusalem,
29 And was both speaking and discussing with the Grecian Jews, —but, they, were setting to work to kill him.
(and *k) speaking boldly in the name of the Lord (Jesus, *K) He was speaking also and he was debating with the Hellenists; but they were seeking to execute him.
30 And the brethren, discovering it, brought him down into Caesarea, and sent him away unto Tarsus.
Having known [it] however the brothers brought down him to Caesarea and sent away him to Tarsus.
31 So then, the assembly throughout the whole of Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, had peace, building itself up, and going on its way in the fear of the Lord; and, by the advocacy of the Holy Spirit, was being multiplied.
(the *N+kO) indeed then (church *N+KO) throughout all of Judea and Galilee and Samaria (had *N+kO) peace, (being edified *N+kO) and (going on *N+kO) in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit (it were multiplied. *N+kO)
32 And it came to pass that, Peter, going through all [quarters] went down unto the saints also dwelling in Lydda.
It came to pass that now Peter passing through all [quarters] descending also to the saints those inhabiting Lydda.
33 And he found there a certain man, by name Aeneas, who, for eight years, had been lying prostrate upon a bed, for he was paralysed.
He found then there a man certain named Aeneas for years eight lying on (a bed *N+kO) who was paralyzed.
34 And Peter said unto him—Aeneas! Jesus Christ healeth thee! Arise, and smooth thy bed for thyself. And, straightway, he arose.
And said to him Peter; Aeneas, heals you Jesus Christ; do rise up and do make the bed for yourself. And immediately he rose up;
35 And all who dwelt in Lydda and Saron, saw him, —and, they, turned unto the Lord.
And saw him all those inhabiting Lydda and (Sharon, *NK+o) who turned to the Lord.
36 Now, in Joppa, there was a certain female disciple, by name Tabitha, which, being translated, means Dorcas [a Gazelle]. The same, was full of good works and alms which she was doing.
In Joppa now certain there was a disciple named Tabitha, which being translated is called Dorcas; She was full of works good and of alms that she was doing;
37 And it came to pass in those days, that she, sickening, died; and, bathing her, they laid her in an upper room.
It came to pass however in the days those [that] having become sick she to die; Having washed [her] then put [her] they in an upper room.
38 Now, Lydda being nigh unto Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was therein, sent off two men unto him, beseeching him—Do not delay to come through unto us!
Near now being Lydda to Joppa the disciples having heard that Peter is in it, sent two men to him imploring; Not (you may delay *N+kO) coming to (us. *N+KO)
39 And Peter, arising, went with them, —whom, when he arrived, they brought up into the upper room; and there stood by him all the widows, weeping, and showing the tunics and mantles—whatsoever things Dorcas was making while she was with them.
Having risen up then Peter went with them; who having arrived they brought [him] into the upper room, And stood by him all the widows weeping and showing [the] tunics and garments how much was making with them being Dorcas.
40 But Peter, putting them all outside, knelt down and prayed; and, turning towards the body, said—Tabitha, arise! And she, opening her eyes and seeing Peter, sat up.
Having put then outside all Peter and having bowed the knees he prayed; And having turned to the body he said; Tabitha, do arise. And she opened the eyes of her and having seen Peter she sat up.
41 And, giving her his hand, he raised her up; and, calling the saints and the widows, presented her, living.
Having given then to her [his] hand he raised up her; Having called then the saints and the widows he presented her living.
42 And it became known throughout the whole of Joppa, and many believed upon the Lord.
Known then it became throughout all of Joppa, and believed many on the Lord.
43 And it came to pass that, for a considerable number of days, he abode in Joppa, with one Simon, a tanner.
It came to pass then days many staying (he *ko) in Joppa with a certain Simon a tanner.
