Acts 8
1 Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the church which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles.
At si Saulo ay sumangayon sa kaniyang pagkamatay. At nang araw na yao'y nangyari ang isang malaking paguusig laban sa iglesia na nasa Jerusalem; at silang lahat ay nagsipangalat sa lahat ng mga dako ng Judea at Samaria, maliban na sa mga apostol.
2 Devout men buried Stephen, and lamented greatly over him.
At inilibing si Esteban ng mga taong masipag sa kabanalan, at siya'y tinangisan ng di kawasa.
3 But Saul ravaged the church, entering into every house, and dragged both men and women off to prison.
Datapuwa't pinuksa ni Saulo ang iglesia, na pinapasok ang bahay-bahay, at kinakaladkad ang mga lalake't mga babae, at sila'y ipinapasok sa bilangguan.
4 Therefore those who were scattered abroad went around proclaiming the word.
Ang mga nagsipangalat nga ay nagsipaglakbay, na ipinangangaral ang salita.
5 And Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and proclaimed to them the Christ.
At bumaba si Felipe sa bayan ng Samaria, at ipinangaral sa kanila ang Cristo.
6 The crowds listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip, when they heard and saw the signs which he did.
At ang mga karamiha'y nangagkakaisang nangakikinig sa mga bagay na sinasalita ni Felipe, pagkarinig nila, at pagkakita ng mga tanda na ginawa niya.
7 For unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them. They came out, crying with a loud voice. Many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed.
Sapagka't sa maraming may mga karumaldumal na espiritu, ay nangagsilabas sila, na nangagsisisigaw ng malakas na tinig: at maraming lumpo, at pilay, ang pinagaling.
8 There was great joy in that city.
At nagkaroon ng malaking kagalakan sa bayang yaon.
9 But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who used to practice sorcery in the city, and amazed the people of Samaria, making himself out to be some great one,
Datapuwa't may isang tao, na nagngangalang Simon, na nang unang panaho'y nanggagaway sa bayan, at pinahahanga ang mga tao sa Samaria, at nagsasabing siya'y isang dakila:
10 to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, "This man is that power of God which is called Great."
Na siyang pinakikinggan nilang lahat, buhat sa kaliitliitan hanggang sa kadakidakilaan, na sinasabi, Ang taong ito ang siyang kapangyarihan ng Dios na tinatawag na Dakila.
11 They listened to him, because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.
At siya'y pinakinggan nila, sapagka't mahabang panahong pinahahanga niya sila ng kaniyang mga panggagaway.
12 But when they believed Philip as he preached good news concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
Datapuwa't nang magsipaniwala sila kay Felipe na nangangaral ng mabubuting balita tungkol sa kaharian ng Dios at sa pangalan ni Jesucristo, ay nangabautismuhan ang mga lalake't mga babae.
13 Simon himself also believed. Being baptized, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed.
At si Simon man ay naniwala rin: at nang mabautismuhan na, ay nanatili siyang kasama ni Felipe; at nang makakita ng mga tanda at ng mga dakilang himalang ginawa, ay napahanga siya.
14 Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,
Nang mabalitaan nga ng mga apostol na nangasa Jerusalem na tinanggap ng Samaria ang salita ng Dios, ay sinugo nila sa kanila si Pedro at si Juan:
15 who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;
Na nang sila'y makalusong, ay ipinanalangin nila sila, upang kanilang tanggapin ang Espiritu Santo.
16 for he had not yet fallen upon any of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Sapagka't ito'y hindi pa bumababa sa kanino man sa kanila: kundi sila'y nangabautismuhan lamang sa pangalan ng Panginoong Jesus.
17 Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Nang magkagayo'y ipinatong sa kanila ang kanilang mga kamay, at kanilang tinanggap ang Espiritu Santo.
18 Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money,
Nang makita nga ni Simon na sa pamamagitan ng pagpapatong ng mga kamay ng mga apostol ay ibinigay ang Espiritu Santo, ay inalok niya sila ng salapi,
19 saying, "Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit."
Na sinasabi, Bigyan naman ninyo ako ng kapangyarihang ito, upang sinomang patungan ko ng aking mga kamay, ay tumanggap ng Espiritu Santo.
20 But Peter said to him, "May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money.
Datapuwa't sinabi sa kaniya ni Pedro, Ang iyong salapi'y mapahamak na kasama mo, sapagka't inisip mong tamuhin ang kaloob ng Dios sa pamamagitan ng salapi.
21 You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God.
Wala kang bahagi ni kapalaran man sa bagay na ito: sapagka't ang puso mo'y hindi matuwid sa harap ng Dios.
22 Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask the Lord if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
Magsisi ka nga sa kasamaan mong ito, at manalangin ka sa Panginoon, baka sakaling ipatawad sa iyo ang pagiisip ng iyong puso.
23 For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity."
Sapagka't nakikita kong ikaw ay nasa apdo ng kapaitan at sa tali ng katampalasanan.
24 Simon answered, "Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to me."
At sumagot si Simon at sinabi, Ipanalangin ninyo ako sa Panginoon, upang huwag mangyari sa akin ang alin mang bagay sa mga sinasabi ninyo.
25 They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Good News to many villages of the Samaritans.
Sila nga, nang makapagpatotoo at masabi na nila ang salita ng Panginoon, ay nangagbalik sa Jerusalem, at ipinangaral ang evangelio sa maraming nayon ng mga Samaritano.
26 But an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, "Arise, and go toward the south to the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desert."
Datapuwa't nagsalita kay Felipe ang isang anghel ng Panginoon, na nagsasabi, Magtindig ka, at ikaw ay pumaroon sa dakong timugan, sa daang palusong mula sa Jerusalem hanggang sa Gaza: na ito'y ilang.
27 And he arose and went. And look, there was a man from Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Kandake, the queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge over all her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship,
At siya'y nagtindig at yumaon: at narito, ang isang lalaking taga Etiopia, isang bating na may dakilang kapamahalaan na sakop ni Candace, reina ng mga Etiope, na siyang namamahala ng lahat niyang kayamanan, at siya'y naparoon sa Jerusalem upang sumamba;
28 and he was returning. And sitting in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
At siya'y pabalik at nakaupo sa kaniyang karo, at binabasa ang propeta Isaias.
29 And the Spirit said to Philip, "Go and join up with that chariot."
At sinabi kay Felipe ng Espiritu, Lumapit ka, at makisama sa karong ito.
30 And running near, Philip heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, "Do you understand what you are reading?"
At tumakbo si Felipeng patungo sa kaniya, at napakinggan niyang binabasa si Isaias na propeta, at sinabi, Nauunawa mo baga ang binabasa mo?
31 He said, "How can I, unless someone explains it to me?" So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
At sinabi niya, Paanong magagawa ko, maliban nang may pumatnubay sa aking sinoman? At pinakiusapan niya si Felipe na pumanhik at maupong kasama niya.
32 Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, "He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he does not open his mouth.
Ang dako nga ng kasulatan na binabasa niya ay ito, Siya'y gaya ng tupa na dinala sa patayan; At kung paanong hindi umimik ang kordero sa harap ng manggugupit sa kaniya, Gayon din hindi niya binubuka ang kaniyang bibig:
33 In his humiliation his justice was taken away. Who will declare his generation? For his life is taken from the earth."
Sa kaniyang pagpapakababa'y inalis ang kaniyang paghuhukom. Sino ang maghahayag ng kaniyang lahi? Sapagka't inalis sa lupa ang kaniyang buhay.
34 The eunuch answered Philip, "Who is the prophet talking about? About himself, or about someone else?"
At sumagot ang bating kay Felipe, at sinabi, Ipinamamanhik ko sa iyo, kanino sinasabi ng propeta ito? sa kaniya bagang sarili, o sa alin mang iba?
35 Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him Jesus.
At binuka ni Felipe ang kaniyang bibig, at pagpapasimula sa kasulatang ito, ay ipinangaral sa kaniya si Jesus.
36 As they went on the way, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "Look, here is water. What is keeping me from being baptized?"
At sa pagpapatuloy sa daan, ay nagsidating sila sa dakong may tubig; at sinabi ng bating, Narito, ang tubig; ano ang nakahahadlang upang ako'y mabautismuhan?
37 And he said to him, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."
At sinabi ni Felipe Kung nanampalataya ka ng buong puso ay mangyayari. At sumagot siya at sinabi: Sumasampalataya ako na si Jesu-Cristo ay Anak ng Dios.
38 He commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.
At ipinagutos niyang itigil ang karo: at sila'y kapuwa lumusong sa tubig, si Felipe at ang bating; at kaniyang binautismuhan siya.
39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him any more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
At nang magsiahon sila sa tubig, ay inagaw si Felipe ng Espiritu ng Panginoon; at hindi na siya nakita ng bating, sapagka't ipinagpatuloy niya ang kaniyang lakad na natutuwa.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus. Passing through, he preached the Good News to all the cities, until he came to Caesarea.
Nguni't nasumpungan si Felipe sa Azoto: at sa pagdadaan ay ipinangaral niya ang evangelio sa lahat ng mga bayan, hanggang sa dumating siya sa Cesarea.
