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]
Apan si Saulo, nagpadayon sa pagsulti ug mga bahad bisan sa pagpatay batok sa mga disipulo sa Ginoo, miadto sa labaw sa mga pari
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].
ug nangayo kaniya ug mga sulat sa mga sinagoga sa Damasco, aron kung siya makakaplag bisan kinsa nga sakop sa Dalan, bisan lalaki o babaye, siya magdala kanila balik sa Jerusalem.
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.
Samtang siya naglakaw, kini nahitabo sa dihang siya duol na sa Damasco, sa kalit lang midan-ag sa iyang palibot ang kahayag nga gikan sa langit;
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]”
ug siya natumba sa yuta ug nakadungog sa usa ka tingog nga nag-ingon ngadto kaniya, “Saulo, Saulo, nganong ginalutos mo ako?”
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]!
Si Saulo mitubag, “Kinsa ka, Ginoo?” Ang Ginoo miingon, “Ako si Jesus nga imong ginalutos;
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.”
apan barog, sulod didto sa siyudad, ug pagasultihan ka kung unsa ang angay nimong buhaton.”
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.
Ang mga tawo nga kauban ni Saulo sa paglakaw nagtindog nga wala makatingog, nakadungog sa tingog, apan walay nakita.
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.
Si Saulo mitindog gikan sa yuta, ug sa dihang gibuka niya ang iyang mga mata, wala na siyay makita; busa sila nag-agak kaniya nga ginunitan ang kamot ug gidala siya didto sa Damasco.
9 For the next three days Saul could not see [anything], and he did not eat or drink anything.
Sulod sa tulo ka adlaw siya dili makakita, ug siya wala mikaon ni miinom.
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].”
Karon adunay usa ka disipulo sa Damasco nga ginganlan ug Ananias; ug ang Ginoo nakigsulti kaniya sa usa ka panan-awon, “Ananias.” Ug siya miingon, “Tan-awa, ania ako dinhi, Ginoo.”
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].
Ang Ginoo miingon kaniya, “Tindog ug adto sa dalan nga ginatawag ug Tul-id, ug didto sa balay ni Judas pangutana sa usa ka gingalan ug Saulo, usa ka tawo nga gikan sa Tarso; kay siya nag-ampo; ug siya nakakita
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.”
ug usa ka panan-awon sa usa ka tawo nga ginganlan ug Ananias nga misulod ug mitapion sa iyang kamot ngadto kaniya, aron siya makadawat sa iyang panan-aw.”
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!
Apan si Ananias mitubag, “Ginoo, ako nakadungog gikan sa kadaghanan mahitungod niining tawhana, kung unsa ka dako ang pagpangdaot nga iyang gibuhat ngadto sa imong katawhan sa Jerusalem.
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]!”
Siya adunay katungod gikan sa pangulong pari aron pangdakpon ang tanan dinhi nga motawag pinaagi sa imong ngalan.”
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.
Apan ang Ginoo miingon ngadto kaniya, “Lakaw, kay siya usa ka pinili nga galamiton alang kanako, nga magdala sa akong ngalan sa atubangan sa mga Gentil ug sa mga hari ug sa mga anak sa Israel;
16 I myself will tell him that he must often suffer greatly because of [telling people about] me [MTY].”
kay akong ipakita kaniya unsa ka dako ang iyang pagaantuson tungod sa akong ngalan.”
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}.”
Busa si Ananias milakaw, ug misulod ngadto sa balay. Mitapion sa iyang kamot ngadto kaniya, siya miingon, “Igsoong Saulo, ang Ginoong Jesus, nga nagpakita kanimo sa dalan sa imong pagpadulong nganhi, gipadala ako aron ikaw makadawat sa imong panan-aw ug mapuno sa Balaang Espiritu.”
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].
Dihadiha dayon usa ka butang sama sa himbis ang nangahulog gikan sa mata ni Saulo, ug siya nakadawat sa iyang panan-aw; siya mitindog ug nagpabawtismo;
19 After Saul ate some food, he felt strong again. Saul stayed with the [other] believers in Damascus for several days.
ug siya mikaon ug nabaskog. Siya nagpabilin uban sa mga disipulo sa Damasco sulod sa pipila ka mga adlaw.
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.
Pagkahuman siya nagmantala kang Jesus didto sa mga sinagoga, nga nag-ingon nga siya ang Anak sa Dios.
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]!”
Ang tanan nga nakadungog kaniya nahibulong ug miingon, “Dili ba mao man kini nga tawo ang naglaglag niadtong anaa sa Jerusalem nga mosangpit niining ngalana? Ug siya mianhi dinhi aron pagdala kanila balik ngadto sa mga pangulong pari.”
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]).
Apan si Saulo gigamhan sa pagsangyaw ug gilibog ang mga Judio nga nagpuyo sa Damasco pinaagi sa pagpamatuod nga si Jesus mao ang Cristo.
23 Some time later, [after Saul had left Damascus and then returned], the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] [there] plotted to kill him.
Pagkahuman sa daghang mga adlaw, ang mga Judio naglaraw aron sa pagpatay kaniya.
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.
Apan ang ilang mga laraw nasayran ni Saulo. Sila nagbantay sa mga ganghaan adlaw ug gabii aron sa pagpatay kaniya.
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].
Apan ang iyang mga disipulo mikuha kaniya pagkagabii ug gipanaog siya agi sa pader, gitunton siya sa usa ka bukag.
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.
Sa dihang siya miabot ngadto sa Jerusalem, si Saulo misulay sa pag-apil sa mga disipulo, apan silang tanan nangahadlok pa kaniya, wala motuo nga siya usa na ka disipulo.
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].
Apan si Barnabas mikuha kaniya ug nagdala kaniya ngadto sa mga apostoles. Ug siya misulti kanila kung giunsa ni Saulo pagkakita sa Ginoo didto sa dalan ug ang Ginoo nagkigsulti ngadto kaniya, ug kung giunsa didto sa Damasco nga si Saulo sa walay kukahadlok nagasangyaw sa ngalan ni Jesus.
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].
Siya nakigkita kanila sulod ug gawas sa Jerusalem. Siya nagsulti sa walay kukahadlok sa ngalan ni Ginoong Jesus
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).
ug nagkiglantugi uban sa mga Judio sa Gresya; apan sila nagpadayon sa pagsulay sa pagpatay kaniya.
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].
Sa dihang ang mga kaigsoonan nasayod niini, sila nagdala kaniya palugsong ngadto sa Caesarea ug gipadala siya palayo ngadto sa Tarso.
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].
Busa, ang simbahan sa tibuok Judea, Galilea, ug Samaria adunay kalinaw ug nalig-on; ug, nagalakaw sa kahadlok sa Ginoo ug sa kahupay sa Balaang Espiritu, ang simbahan mitubo ang kadaghan.
32 While Peter was traveling throughout those [regions, once] he went to [the coastal plain to visit] the believers [who lived] in Lydda [town].
Karon nahitabo nga, samtang si Pedro miadto sa tibuok rehiyon, siya miadto palugsong usab sa katawhan sa Dios nga nagpuyo sa lungsod sa Lida.
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.
Didto niya nakaplagan ang usa ka tawo nga ginganlan ug Eneas, anaa sa iyang higdaanan sa walo ka tuig, kay siya paralisado.
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.
Si Pedro miingon kaniya, “Eneas, si Jesu-Cristo ang nag-ayo kanimo. Bangon ug hiposa ang imong higdaanan.” Ug dihadiha dayon siya mibangon.
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].
Busa ang tanan nga nagpuyo sa Lida ug sa Sharon nakakita sa tawo ug sila nangakabig ngadto sa Dios.
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].
Karon didto sa Jopa adunay usa ka disipulo nga ginganlan ug Tabita, mahubad kini nga “Dorcas.” Kini nga babaye puno sa maayong mga buhat ug maluluy-on nga nagbuhat alang sa mga kabos.
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].
Kini nahitabo niadtong mga adlawa nga siya nagsakit ug namatay; sa dihang nahugasan na nila siya, ila siyang gihaya sa taas nga lawak.
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]!”
Tungod kay ang Lida duol lang sa Jopa, ug ang mga disipulo nakadungog nga si Pedro tua pa didto, sila nagpadala ug duha ka tawo ngadto kaniya, paghangyo kaniya, “Kuyog kanamo sa walay langan.”
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.
Si Pedro mitindog ug mikuyog uban kanila. Sa dihang siya miabot, gidala nila siya ngadto sa taas nga lawak. Ug ang tanang mga balo nag-alirong kaniya nga naghilak, gipakita kaniya ang kupo ug mga bisti nga gibuhat ni Dorcas samtang siya uban pa kanila.
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.
Si Pedro nagpagawas nilang tanan sa lawak, miluhod, ug nag-ampo; unya, miatubang ngadto sa lawas, siya miingon, “Tabita, bangon.” Iyang gibuka ang iyang mga mata, ug sa dihang nakita niya si Pedro milingkod siya.
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].
Unya gigunitan ni Pedro ang iyang kamot ug gipatindog siya; ug dihang gitawag niya ang mga magtutuo ug ang mga balo, gipakita niya kanila nga siya buhi na.
42 [Soon] people everywhere in Joppa knew about that miracle, and as a result many people believed in the Lord [Jesus].
Kining butanga nasayran sa tibuok Jopa, ug daghang katawhan ang mituo sa Ginoo.
43 Peter stayed in Joppa many days with a man named Simon who made leather [from animal skins].
Nahitabo kadto nga si Pedro nagpabilin sa daghang mga adlaw sa Joppa uban sa usa ka tawo nga ginganlan ug Simon, usa ka magtatabas ug panit sa hayop.
