Acts 9
1 Meanwhile, Saul angrily continued to say, “I will kill those who believe that [Jesus is] the Lord!” He went to the supreme priest [in Jerusalem]
Saul pedig még fenyegetéstől és öldökléstől lihegve az Úrnak tanítványai ellen, elment a főpaphoz,
2 and requested him [to write] letters [introducing him] to [the leaders of] [MTY] the Jewish meeting places in Damascus [city. The letters asked them to authorize Saul] to seize any men or women who followed the way [that Jesus had taught], and to take them as prisoners to Jerusalem [so that the Jewish leaders could judge and punish them].
leveleket kért tőle Damaszkuszba a zsinagógákhoz, hogy ha talál olyanokat, akik ennek az útnak követői, akár férfiakat, akár asszonyokat, elfogva Jeruzsálembe vigye őket.
3 Saul took those letters, and while he [and those with him] traveled toward Damascus, as they were approaching the city, suddenly a [brilliant] light from heaven shone around Saul.
És amint ment, és közeledett Damaszkuszhoz, nagy hirtelenséggel fény sugározta őt körül a mennyből,
4 [Immediately] he fell down to the ground. Then he heard the voice [of the Lord] say to him, “Saul, Saul, (stop causing me to suffer!/why are you causing me to suffer?) [RHQ]”
leesett a földre, szózatot hallott, mely ezt mondta neki: „Saul, Saul, miért üldözöl engem?“
5 Saul asked him, “Lord, who are you?” He replied, “I am Jesus, [and] you [(sg)] are causing me to suffer [by hurting my followers]!
Ő pedig megkérdezte: „Kicsoda vagy, Uram?“Az Úr pedig ezt mondta: „Én vagyok Jézus, akit te üldözöl. Nehéz neked az ösztöke ellen rugódoznod.“
6 Now instead [of continuing to do that], stand up and go into the city! [Someone there] will tell you [(sg)] what I [want] you to do.”
Erre remegve és ámulva kérdezte: „Uram, mit akarsz, hogy cselekedjem?“Az Úr pedig ezt mondta neki: „Kelj fel, és menj be a városba, és majd megmondják neked, mit kell cselekedned.“
7 The men who were traveling with Saul [became so frightened that they] could not say anything. [They just] stood there. They only heard the sound [when the Lord spoke], but they did not see anyone.
A vele utazó férfiak pedig némán álltak, hallották ugyan a hangot, de senkit sem láttak.
8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could not see anything. So the men [with him] took him by the hand and led him into Damascus.
Saul pedig felkelt a földről, de mikor kinyitotta szemeit, senkit sem látott, ezért kézen fogva vezették be őt Damaszkuszba.
9 For the next three days Saul could not see [anything], and he did not eat or drink anything.
Három napig nem látott, nem evett és nem ivott.
10 In Damascus there was [a Jew] named Ananias who believed in Jesus. While [Ananias was seeing] a vision, the Lord [Jesus] said to him, “Ananias!” He replied, “Lord, I [am listening].”
Volt pedig egy tanítvány Damaszkuszban, név szerint Anániás. Látomásban ezt mondta neki az Úr: „Anániás!“Ő pedig ezt mondta: „Ímhol vagyok Uram!“
11 The Lord Jesus told him, “Go to Straight Street to the house that belongs to Judas. Ask [someone there if you(sg) can talk to] a man named Saul from Tarsus [city], because, surprisingly, at this moment he is praying [to me].
Az Úr pedig ezt mondta neki: „Kelj fel, menj el az úgynevezett Egyenes utcába, és keress föl a Júdás házában egy Saul nevű tarzuszi embert, mert imádkozik.“
12 [Saul has seen] a vision in which a man named Ananias entered [the house where he was staying] and put his hands on him in order that he might see again.”
És látta Saul látomásban, hogy egy Anániás nevű férfiú bemegy hozzá, és kezét reá teszi, hogy lásson.
13 But Ananias [protested], saying, “But Lord, many people have told me about this man! He has done many evil things to the people in Jerusalem who [believe in] you!
Anániás pedig így felelt: „Uram, sok embertől hallottam e férfiú felől, milyen sok bosszúsággal illette szentjeidet Jeruzsálemben,
14 And the chief priests have authorized him to come here [to Damascus] in order to seize all of us who believe in you [(sg)] [MTY] [and take us to Jerusalem]!”
és itt is hatalma van a főpapoktól, hogy mindazokat megkötözze, akik a te nevedet segítségül hívják.“
15 But the Lord [Jesus] told Ananias, “Go to [Saul! Do what I say], because I have chosen him to serve me in order that he might speak about me [MTY] both to non-Jewish people and [their] kings and to the Israeli people.
Az Úr pedig ezt mondta neki: „Eredj el, mert ő nekem választott eszközöm, hogy hordozza az én nevemet a pogányok, királyok és Izrael fiai előtt.
16 I myself will tell him that he must often suffer greatly because of [telling people about] me [MTY].”
Mert én megmutatom neki, mennyit kell az én nevemért szenvednie.“
17 So Ananias went, and [after he found] the house [where Saul was], he entered it. Then, [as soon as he met Saul], he put his hands on him, and he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus [himself] commanded me to come [to you]. He is the [same] one who appeared to you [(sg)] while you were traveling along the road. [He sent me to you] in order that you might see again and that you might be completely controlled by the Holy Spirit {that the Holy Spirit might completely control you}.”
Elment tehát Anániás, bement a házba, és kezeit reá tette, és ezt mondta: „Saul atyámfia, az Úr küldött engem, Jézus, aki megjelent neked az úton, amelyen jöttél, hogy szemeid megnyíljanak, és megteljél Szentlélekkel.“
18 Instantly, things like [fish] scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he was able to see again. Then he stood up and was baptized {[Ananias] baptized him} [immediately].
És azonnal mintha pikkelyek estek volna le szemeiről, mindjárt visszanyerte látását; és felkelt és megkeresztelkedett,
19 After Saul ate some food, he felt strong again. Saul stayed with the [other] believers in Damascus for several days.
majd miután evett, megerősödött. Saul pedig néhány napig együtt volt a damaszkuszi tanítványokkal,
20 Right away Saul began to preach [to people about Jesus] in the Jewish meeting places [in Damascus. He told them] that Jesus is (the Son of/the man who is also) God.
és azonnal prédikálni kezdte a zsinagógákban a Krisztust, hogy ő az Isten Fia.
21 And all the people who heard him [preach] were amazed. [Various ones of] them were saying, “([We(inc) can hardly believe that] this is the [same man] who persecuted the believers in Jerusalem!/Is this really the [same man] who persecuted the believers in Jerusalem?) [RHQ, MTY] And we [(inc)] know that he has [RHQ] come here to seize us and take us to the chief priests [in Jerusalem]!”
Mindnyájan elálmélkodtak, akik hallották és ezt mondták: „Nem ő az, aki pusztította Jeruzsálemben azokat, akik ezt a nevet hívják segítségül, és ide is azért jött, hogy őket elfogja, és a főpapokhoz vigye őket?“
22 But [God] enabled Saul [to preach to many people even] more convincingly. He was proving [from the Scriptures] that Jesus is the Messiah. So the Jewish leaders in Damascus could not think of anything (to refute [what he said/to prove that what he said was not true]).
Saul pedig annál inkább bátrabb lett, és zavarba hozta a Damaszkuszban lakó zsidókat, bebizonyítva nekik, hogy Jézus a Krisztus.
23 Some time later, [after Saul had left Damascus and then returned], the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] [there] plotted to kill him.
Több nap elteltével azonban a zsidók tanácsot tartottak, hogy megöljék őt.
24 [During each] day and night those Jews were continually watching [the people passing through] the city gates, in order that [when they saw Saul] they might kill him. However, someone told Saul what they planned to do.
Saulnak azonban tudomására jutott leselkedésük. Még a kapukat is őrizték nappal és éjjel, hogy megöljék őt.
25 So some of those whom he had helped [to believe in Jesus] took him [one] night [to the high stone wall that surrounded the city]. They [used ropes to] lower him in a [large] basket through an opening in the wall. [So he escaped from Damascus].
A tanítványok pedig őt éjjel a kőfalon lebocsátották, leeresztve egy kosárban.
26 When Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he began trying to associate with other believers. However, [almost] all of them continued to be afraid of him, because they did not believe that he had become a believer.
Mikor pedig Saul Jeruzsálembe ment, próbált a tanítványokhoz csatlakozni, de mindnyájan féltek tőle, mert nem hitték, hogy tanítvány.
27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles. He explained to the apostles how, [while Saul was traveling] along the road [to Damascus], he had seen the Lord [Jesus] and how the Lord had spoken to him [there. He] also told them how Saul had preached boldly about Jesus [MTY] [to people] in Damascus. [The apostles believed Barnabas and told the other believers about that].
Barnabás azonban maga mellé vette őt, elvitte az apostolokhoz, és elbeszélte nekik, amint látta az úton az Urat, és hogy beszélt vele, és mint tanított Damaszkuszban nagy bátorsággal a Jézus nevében.
28 So Saul began to associate with the apostles [and other believers] throughout Jerusalem, and he spoke boldly [to people] about [MTY] the Lord [Jesus].
Ki és bejáratos lett köztük Jeruzsálemben, és nagy bátorsággal tanított az Úr Jézusnak nevében,
29 Saul was [also] speaking [about Jesus] with Jews who spoke Greek, and he was debating with them. But they were continually trying [to think] ([of a way] to kill him/of [how they could] kill him).
beszélt, sőt vitatkozott a görög zsidókkal, azok pedig igyekeztek megölni őt.
30 When the [other] believers heard that [those Jews were planning to kill him, some of] the believers took Saul down to Caesarea [city. There] they arranged for him to go [by ship] to Tarsus, [his hometown].
Amikor ezt azonban megtudták az atyafiak, levitték őt Cézáreába, és elküldték Tarzuszba.
31 So the groups of believers throughout [the entire regions of] Judea, Galilee, and Samaria lived peacefully [because no one was persecuting them any more]. The Holy Spirit was strengthening them [spiritually] and encouraging them. They were continuing to revere/honor the Lord [Jesus, and the Holy Spirit] was enabling many other people [to become believers].
Az egyháznak tehát egész Júdeában, Galileában és Samáriában békessége volt, épültek és sokasodtak az Úrnak félelmében, és a Szentlélek vigasztalásában jártak.
32 While Peter was traveling throughout those [regions, once] he went to [the coastal plain to visit] the believers [who lived] in Lydda [town].
Történt pedig, hogy Péter, amikor mindnyájukat körbejárta, lement a Liddában lakó szentekhez is.
33 There he met a man whose name was Aeneas. Aeneas had not been able to get up from [his] bed for eight years, because he was paralyzed.
Talált ott egy Éneász nevű embert, aki nyolc esztendeje ágyban feküdt, gutaütött volt.
34 Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you [(sg) right now]! Get up and roll up your mat!” Right away Aeneas stood up.
És mondta néki Péter: „Éneász, gyógyítson meg téged a Jézus Krisztus: kelj föl, magad vesd be az ágyadat!“És azonnal felkelt.
35 Most of the people who lived in Lydda and on Sharon [Plain] saw Aeneas [after the Lord had healed him], so they believed in the Lord [Jesus].
És látták őt mindnyájan, akik Liddában és Sáronban laktak, és megtértek az Úrhoz.
36 In Joppa [town] there was a believer whose name was Tabitha. [Her name] in the [Greek] language was Dorcas. [Both of these names mean gazelle/deer/antelope]. That woman was continually doing good deeds [for others. Specifically], she was helping poor people [by giving them things that they needed].
Joppéban pedig volt egy nőtanítvány, név szerint Tábita, amely megmagyarázva Dorkász, azaz zerge: gazdag volt jó cselekedetekben és alamizsnákban, melyeket osztogatott.
37 During the time [that Peter was in Lydda], she became sick and died. [Some women there] washed her body [according to the Jewish custom so that the people could bury it]. Then they [covered her body with cloth and] placed it in an upstairs room [in her house].
Történt pedig azokban a napokban, hogy megbetegedett, és meghalt. Miután megmosták, kiterítették a felső házban.
38 Lydda was near Joppa, so when the believers heard that Peter was [still] in Lydda, they sent two men to [go] to Peter. [When they arrived where Peter was], they repeatedly urged/begged him, “Please come immediately with us [to Joppa]!”
Mivel pedig Lidda Joppéhoz közel volt, a tanítványok meghallották, hogy Péter ott van, két férfiút küldtek hozzá, s kérték, hogy késedelem nélkül menjen át hozzájuk.
39 So [right away] Peter got ready and went with them. When they arrived [at the house in Joppa], the two men took Peter to the upstairs room [where Dorcas’ body was lying]. All the widows [there] around Peter. They were crying and showing him the cloaks and [other] garments that Dorcas had made for people while she was still alive.
Péter felkelt, és elment azokkal. Mihelyt oda ért, felvezették a felső házba, az özvegyasszonyok mind elébe álltak, sírtak és mutogatták a ruhákat és öltözeteket, amelyeket Dorkász csinált, míg velük együtt volt.
40 But Peter sent them all out of the room. Then he got down on his knees and prayed. Then, turning toward Tabitha’s body, he said, “Tabitha, stand up!” [Immediately] she opened her eyes and, when she saw Peter, she sat up.
Péter pedig mindenkit kiküldött, térdre esve imádkozott; azután a holttesthez fordulva mondta: „Tábita, kelj fel!“Ő pedig felnyitotta szemeit, és meglátva Pétert, felült.
41 He grasped one of her hands and helped her to stand up. After he had summoned the believers and [especially] the widows [among them to come back in], he showed them that Tabitha was alive [again].
Ő kezét nyújtva neki felemelte őt; majd beszólította a szenteket és az özvegyasszonyokat, eléjük állította őt elevenen.
42 [Soon] people everywhere in Joppa knew about that miracle, and as a result many people believed in the Lord [Jesus].
És megtudták egész Joppéban, és sokan hittek az Úrban.
43 Peter stayed in Joppa many days with a man named Simon who made leather [from animal skins].
Ő pedig több napig Joppéban maradt egy Simon nevű tímárnál.
