Acts 22
1 Paul said, “[Jewish] elders and my other fellow Jews, listen to me now while I reply to [those who are accusing me]!”
„Фрацилор ши пэринцилор, аскултаць акум кувынтул меу де апэраре фацэ де вой!”
2 When the crowd of people heard Paul speaking to them in [their own] Hebrew language, they became even more quiet and really listened. Then Paul said to them,
Кынд ау аузит ей кэ ле ворбеште ын лимба евреяскэ, ау цинут ши май мултэ линиште. Ши Павел а зис:
3 “I am a Jew, [as are all of you]. I was born in Tarsus [city], in Cilicia [province], but I grew up here in Jerusalem. [When I was young, for many years] I studied the laws [that Moses gave to our ancestors]. I was taught by [the famous teacher] Gamaliel [MTY] {[The famous teacher] Gamaliel taught [MTY] me}. [I have] carefully [obeyed those laws, because] I have wanted to obey God. I [am sure that] many of you also carefully obey [those laws].
„Еу сунт иудеу, нэскут ын Тарсул Чиличией, дар ам фост крескут ын четатя ачаста, ам ынвэцат ла пичоареле луй Гамалиел сэ куноск ку де-амэнунтул Леӂя пэринцилор ноштри ши ам фост тот атыт де плин де рывнэ пентру Думнезеу, кум сунтець ши вой тоць азь.
4 [That is why] I previously persecuted those who believe the message [that people call] the Way [that Jesus taught. I continually looked for ways] to kill [them. Whenever I found] men or women [who believed that message], I [commanded that] they should be seized and thrown {[people to] seize them and throw them} into jail.
Ам пригонит пынэ ла моарте ачастэ Кале, ам легат ши ам пус ын темницэ бэрбаць ши фемей:
5 The supreme priest knows this, and so do the [other respected men who belong to our Jewish] Council. They gave me letters to [take to] their fellow Jews in Damascus [city. By means of those letters, they authorized me to] go to there and find people who believed in [Jesus. They had written in the letters that I was to bring those people] as prisoners to Jerusalem, so that they would be punished here {[the leaders here] could punish them}. [So I went on my way to Damascus].
мареле преот ши тот соборул бэтрынилор ымь сунт марторь. Ам луат кяр ши скрисорь де ла ей кэтре фраций дин Дамаск, унде м-ам дус сэ адук легаць ла Иерусалим пе чей че се афлау аколо, ка сэ фие педепсиць.
6 About noon, my companions and I were getting near Damascus. Suddenly a bright light from the sky flashed all around me.
Кынд ерам пе друм ши мэ апропиям де Дамаск, деодатэ, пе ла амязэ, а стрэлучит ымпрежурул меу о маре луминэ дин чер.
7 [The light was so bright that] I fell to the ground. Then I heard the voice [of someone] speaking to me [from up in the sky. The one who was speaking to me said], ‘Saul! Saul! Why do you [(sg)] do things to harm me?’
Ам кэзут ла пэмынт ши ам аузит ун глас каре-мь зичя: ‘Сауле, Сауле, пентру че Мэ пригонешть?’
8 I answered, ‘Who are you?’ He replied, ‘I am Jesus from Nazareth. I [am the one] whom you [(sg)] are harming [by doing things to harm my followers].’
‘Чине ешть, Доамне?’, ам рэспунс еу. Ши Ел мь-а зис: ‘Еу сунт Исус дин Назарет, пе каре-Л пригонешть.’
9 The men who were [traveling] with me saw the [very bright] light, [and they heard a voice], but they did not understand what the voice said to me.
Чей че ерау ку мине ау вэзут бине лумина ши с-ау ынфрикошат, дар н-ау аузит гласул Челуй че ворбя.
10 Then I asked, ‘Lord, what [do you want] me to do?’ The Lord told me, ‘Get up and go into Damascus! [A man] there will tell you [(sg)] all that I have planned for you to do.’
Атунч, ам зис: ‘Че сэ фак, Доамне?’ ‘Скоалэ-те’, мь-а рэспунс Домнул, ‘ду-те ын Дамаск ши аколо ци се ва спуне че требуе сэ фачь.’
11 [After that, I could not see], because the [very bright] light had caused me to become blind. So my companions took me by the hand and led me until [we(exc) arrived] in Damascus.
Фииндкэ ну путям сэ вэд нимик дин причина стрэлучирий луминий ачелея, чей че ерау ку мине м-ау луат де мынэ, ши аша ам ажунс ын Дамаск.
12 [A couple of days] later, a man whose name was Ananias came to [see] me. He was a man who [greatly respected God and] carefully obeyed [our Jewish] laws. All the Jews living in Damascus said good things about him.
Ши а венит ла мине ун ом нумит Анания, бэрбат темэтор де Думнезеу, дупэ Леӂе, ши пе каре тоць иудеий каре локуеск ын Дамаск ыл ворбяу де бине.
13 He came and stood beside me and said to me, ‘Brother Saul, see [again]!’ Instantly I could see! I saw Ananias [standing there beside me].
Ел мь-а зис: ‘Фрате Сауле, капэтэ-ць дин ноу ведеря!’ Кяр ын клипа ачея, мь-ам кэпэтат ведеря ши м-ам уйтат ла ел.
14 Then he said: ‘The God whom [we(inc) worship and] whom our ancestors [worshipped] has chosen you and will show you what he wants [you to do. He has allowed you] to see the righteous one, [the Messiah], and you have heard him speaking [to you].
Ел мь-а зис: ‘Думнезеул пэринцилор ноштри те-а алес сэ куношть воя Луй, сэ везь пе Чел Неприхэнит ши сэ аузь кувинте дин гура Луй;
15 He wants you to tell people everywhere what you have seen and heard [from him].
кэч Ый вей фи мартор фацэ де тоць оамений, пентру лукруриле пе каре ле-ай вэзут ши аузит.
16 So now (do not delay!/why delay?) [RHQ] Stand up, let [me] baptize you, and by praying to the Lord [Jesus ask God] to forgive you [(sg)] for your sins!’”
Ши акум, че зэбовешть? Скоалэ-те, примеште ботезул ши фий спэлат де пэкателе тале, кемынд Нумеле Домнулуй.’
17 “Later, I returned to Jerusalem. [One day] I went to the Temple courtyard. While I was praying there, I saw a vision [in which]
Ши ми с-а ынтымплат кэ, дупэ че м-ам ынторс ла Иерусалим, пе кынд мэ ругам ын Темплу, ам кэзут ынтр-о рэпире суфлетяскэ
18 I saw the Lord speaking to me. He said to me, ‘[Do not stay here]! Leave Jerusalem immediately, because the people [here] will not (believe/listen to) what you [(sg)] tell [them] about me!’
ши ам вэзут пе Домнул, каре-мь зичя: ‘Грэбеште-те, ешь юте дин Иерусалим, кэч ну вор прими мэртурисиря та деспре Мине.’
19 But I [protested and] said to him, ‘Lord, they know that I went to many of our meeting houses looking for people who believe in you. I was putting in jail those [whom I found] who believed in you, and I was even beating them.
Ши ам зис: ‘Доамне, ей штиу кэ еу бэгам ын темницэ ши бэтям прин синагоӂь пе чей че кред ын Тине
20 [They remember that] when Stephen was killed [MTY] {when people killed [MTY] Stephen} because he told people about you, I stood there [watching it all] and approving [what they were doing]. I [even] guarded the outer garments that those who were murdering him [had thrown aside. So if I stay here, the fact that I have changed how I think about you will surely impress those leaders of our people].’
ши кэ, атунч кынд се вэрса сынӂеле луй Штефан, марторул Тэу, ерам ши еу де фацэ, ымь уням ынкувиинцаря мя ку а челорлалць ши пэзям хайнеле челор че-л оморау.’
21 But the Lord said to me, ‘No, [do not stay here]! Leave [Jerusalem, because] I am going to send you [(sg)] far away [from here] to non-Jewish people!’”
Атунч, Ел мь-а зис: ‘Ду-те, кэчте вой тримите департе, ла нямурь…’”
22 The people listened [quietly] to what Paul was saying until [he mentioned the Lord sending him to non-Jewish people]. Then they began shouting [angrily], “Kill him! [He does not deserve to live any longer]!” [They said that because they could not believe that God would save anyone except Jews].
Ей л-ау аскултат пынэ ла кувынтул ачеста. Дар атунч шь-ау ридикат гласул ши ау зис: „Я де пе пэмынт пе ун астфел де ом! Ну есте вредник сэ трэяскэ!”
23 While they continued shouting, [“Kill him!”] they took off their cloaks and threw dust into the air, [which showed how angry they were].
Ши скотяу стригэте, ышь арункау хайнеле ши азвырляу ку цэрынэ ын вэздух.
24 So the commander [commanded] that Paul be taken {[soldiers] to take Paul} into the barracks. He told [the soldiers] that they should strike Paul with a whip [that had pieces of bone/metal on the end of it], in order to make him tell what he had done that made the Jews shout so angrily. [So the soldiers took Paul into the barracks].
Кэпитанул а порунчит сэ дукэ пе Павел ын четэцуе ши сэ-л черчетезе, бэтынду-л ку бичул, ка сэ афле дин че причинэ стригау аша ымпотрива луй.
25 Then they stretched his arms out [and tied them] so that they could whip him [on his back. But] Paul said to the officer who was standing nearby [watching], “[You(sg) should think carefully about this]! You will certainly be [RHQ] acting unlawfully if you whip me, a Roman [citizen whom] no [one has put on trial and] condemned!”
Пе кынд ыл легау ку куреле, Павел а зис суташулуй каре ера де фацэ: „Вэ есте ынгэдуит сэ батець пе ун роман каре ну есте осындит?”
26 When the officer heard that, he went to the commander and reported it to him. He said [to the commander], “This man is a Roman [citizen] (Surely you would not [command us to whip him]!/Do you really want [us to whip him]?) [RHQ]”
Ла аузул ачестор кувинте, суташул с-а дус сэ дя де штире кэпитанулуй ши а зис: „Че ай де гынд сэ фачь? Омул ачеста есте четэцян роман.”
27 The commander [was surprised when he heard that. He himself] went [into the barracks] and said to Paul, “Tell me, are you [(sg) really] a Roman [citizen]?” Paul answered, “Yes, I [am].”
Ши кынд а венит кэпитанул, а зис луй Павел: „Спуне-мь, ешть роман?” „Да”, й-а рэспунс ел.
28 Then the commander said, “[I am also a Roman citizen]. I paid a lot of money to become a [Roman] citizen.” Paul said, “But I was born a [Roman] citizen, [so I did not need to pay anything].”
Кэпитанул а зис: „Еу ку о маре сумэ де бань ам добындит четэцения ачаста.” „Ши еу”, а зис Павел, „сунт кяр нэскут роман.”
29 The soldiers [were about to whip Paul and to ask him questions about what he had done. But when they heard what Paul said, they] left him immediately. The commander also became afraid, because he realized that Paul was a Roman [citizen] and that he had [illegally commanded soldiers to] tie up Paul’s [hands].
Нумайдекыт, чей че авяу сэ-л черчетезе прин бэтае ау ынчетат сэ-л май некэжяскэ, ба кэпитанул, кынд а афлат кэ Павел есте роман, с-а темут пентру кэ-л легасе.
30 [The commander still] wanted to know exactly why the Jews were accusing Paul. So the next day he [told the soldiers to] take the chains off Paul. He also summoned the chief priests and the [other Jewish] Council [members]. Then he took Paul [to where the Council was meeting] and [commanded] him to stand before them.
А доуа зи, фииндкэ воя сэ штие бине пентру че есте пырыт де иудей, л-а дезлегат ши а порунчит сэ се адуне лаолалтэ преоций чей май де сямэ ши тот соборул, апой а адус пе Павел жос ши л-а пус ынаинтя лор.
