Acts 9
1 But Saul, still speaking threats even of murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
Samal ajal paiskas Saulus ikka veel tapmisähvardusi Issanda jüngrite vastu. Ta läks ülempreestri juurde
2 and asked him for letters for the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
ja küsis temalt kirju sünagoogide jaoks Damaskuses, et kui ta leiab sealt usuteel käijaid, olgu mehi või naisi, võiks ta need inimesed vangidena Jeruusalemma tuua.
3 As he was traveling, it happened that as he came near to Damascus, suddenly there shone all around him a light out of heaven;
Kui ta teel olles Damaskusele lähenes, sähvatas äkitselt taevast tema ümber valgus.
4 and he fell upon the ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
Ta kukkus maha ja kuulis häält talle ütlemas: „Saul, Saul, miks sa mind taga kiusad?“
5 Saul replied, “Who are you, Lord?” The Lord said, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting;
„Kes sa oled, Issand?“küsis Saulus. „Mina olen Jeesus, keda sa taga kiusad. Sul on raske astla vastu takka üles lüüa, “vastas Issand.
6 but rise, enter into the city, and it will be told you what you must do.”
Värisedes ja hämmastuses küsis ta: „Issand, mida ma pean tegema?“Ja Issand ütles: „Tõuse nüüd üles ja mine linna, seal öeldakse sulle, mis sul tuleb teha!“
7 The men who traveled with Saul stood speechless, hearing the voice, but seeing no one.
Aga mehed, kes koos Saulusega reisisid, seisid ehmunult; nad kuulsid küll häält, kuid ei näinud kedagi.
8 Saul arose from the ground, and when he opened his eyes, he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.
Aga Saulus tõusis maast üles, ja kui ta silmad avas, ei näinud ta enam. Nõnda ta talutati kättpidi Damaskusesse.
9 For three days he was without sight, and he neither ate nor drank.
Kolm päeva oli ta pime, ei söönud ega joonud.
10 Now there was a disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” He said, “See, I am here, Lord.”
Ent Damaskuses oli jünger nimega Ananias. Issand kutsus teda nägemuses: „Ananias!“„Issand, vaata, siin ma olen!“vastas Ananias.
11 The Lord said to him, “Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and at the house of Judas ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying.
Issand ütles talle: „Mine Sirgel tänaval Juudase majja ja küsi Tarsosest pärit Sauluse järele, sest ta on seal palvetamas.
12 He has seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in and laying his hands on him, so that he might see again.”
Ta on näinud nägemuses, kuidas mees nimega Ananias tuli tema juurde ja pani käed tema peale, et ta nägemise tagasi saaks!“
13 But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to your holy people in Jerusalem.
„Issand, “vastas Ananias, „ma olen paljudelt kuulnud, kui palju kurja see mees on teinud sinu pühadele Jeruusalemmas.
14 He has authority from the chief priests to arrest everyone here who calls upon your name.”
Ja nüüd on ta siin ülempreestri volitusel aheldamas kõiki, kes sinu nime appi hüüavad!“
15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine, to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel;
Aga Issand vastas Ananiasele: „Mine! See mees on minu valitud tööriist, et kanda minu nimi rahvaste ja kuningate ja Iisraeli rahva ette.
16 for I will show him how much he must suffer for the cause of my name.”
Sest mina tahan talle näidata, kui palju ta peab kannatama minu nime pärast!“
17 So Ananias departed, and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road when you were coming, has sent me so that you might receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
Siis Ananias läks sinna majja. Ja kui ta oma käed oli Sauluse peale pannud, ütles ta: „Vend Saul, Issand Jeesus on mind läkitanud, tema, kes sulle ilmus tee peal, et sa jälle näeksid ja saaksid täis Püha Vaimu.“
18 Immediately something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he received his sight; he arose and was baptized;
Otsekohe langes Sauluse silmadelt justkui soomuseid ja ta nägi jälle. Ta tõusis püsti ja laskis ennast ristida,
19 and he ate and was strengthened. He stayed with the disciples in Damascus for several days.
ja pärast kehakinnitust tema jõud taastus. Saulus veetis mitu päeva Damaskuses jüngritega.
20 Right away he proclaimed Jesus in the synagogues, saying that he is the Son of God.
Ja otsekohe hakkas ta sünagoogides kuulutama Kristusest, et tema on Jumala Poeg.
21 All who heard him were amazed and said, “Is not this the man who destroyed those in Jerusalem who called on this name? He has come here to take them bound to the chief priests.”
Aga kõik, kes teda kuulsid, ehmusid ning küsisid: „Eks tema ole seesama, kes Jeruusalemmas hävitas selle nime appihüüdjaid? Ja kes on siia tulnud selleks, et neid viia kinniseotuna ülempreestrite juurde?“
22 But Saul became more and more powerful, and he was causing distress among the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ.
Ometi muutus Saulus üha võimsamaks ja ajas segadusse Damaskuses elavad juudid ning tõestas, et Jeesus on Messias.
23 After many days, the Jews planned together to kill him.
Ja kui hulk päevi oli möödunud, kavatsesid juudid ta tappa.
24 But their plan became known to Saul. They watched the gates day and night in order to kill him.
Aga Saulus sai nende plaanist teada. Nad panid päevaks ja ööks isegi linnaväravate juurde valvurid, et teda tappa.
25 But his disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
Kuid ühel ööl lasksid jüngrid ta korvi sees müüriava kaudu alla.
26 When he had come to Jerusalem, Saul attempted to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
Kui ta jõudis Jeruusalemma, püüdis Saulus jüngritega liituda, kuid kõik kartsid teda ega uskunud, et ta on jünger.
27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and he told them how Saul had seen the Lord on the road and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how at Damascus Saul had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus.
Aga Barnabas võttis Sauluse, viis ta ja apostlite juurde ja rääkis neile, kuidas Saulus teel olles oli kohanud Issandat ja temaga kõnelnud ja kuidas ta oli Damaskuses kartmatult Jeesuse nimel kuulutanud.
28 He met with them as they were coming in and going out of Jerusalem. He spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus
Nii jäi Saulus nende juurde ja liikus vabalt Jeruusalemmas, kuulutades julgelt Issanda Jeesuse nimel.
29 and debated with the Grecian Jews; but they kept trying to kill him.
Ta rääkis ja vaidles ka Kreeka päritolu juutidega, aga need püüdsid teda tappa.
30 When the brothers learned of this, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus.
Ent kui usklikud sellest teada said, viisid nad ta alla Kaisareasse ja läkitasid Tarsosesse.
31 So then, the church throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and was built up; and, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, the church grew in numbers.
Nüüd oli kogudusel rahu kogu Juudamaal, Galileas ja Samaarias, see kasvas ja edenes Issanda kartuses ning Püha Vaimu julgustusel.
32 Now it came about that, as Peter went throughout the whole region, he came down also to the believers who lived in the town of Lydda.
Peetrus käis läbi kogu maa ja läks ka Lüddas elavate pühade juurde.
33 There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been in his bed for eight years, for he was paralyzed.
Seal leidis ta mehe nimega Aineas, kes oli olnud halvatuna voodis maas kaheksa aastat.
34 Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed,” and right away he got up.
„Aineas, “ütles Peetrus talle, „Jeesus Kristus teeb su terveks: tõuse ja sea oma ase korda!“Ja Aineas tõusis sedamaid.
35 So everyone who lived in Lydda and in Sharon saw the man and they turned to the Lord.
Kõik Lüdda ja Saaroni elanikud nägid teda ja pöördusid Issanda poole.
36 Now there was in Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which is translated as “Dorcas.” This woman was full of good works and merciful deeds that she did for the poor.
Aga Joppes oli naisjünger nimega Tabiita (mis tõlkes tähendab Dorkas); ta tegi palju head ja aitas vaeseid.
37 It came about in those days that she fell sick and died; when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
Ja neil päevil sündis, et ta jäi haigeks ja suri. Tema ihu pesti ja pandi ülemisse tuppa.
38 Since Lydda was near Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent two men to him, begging him, “Come to us without delay.”
Aga Lüdda oli Joppe lähedal. Kui jüngrid kuulsid, et Peetrus on seal, läkitasid nad kaks meest tema juurde palvega: „Tule otsekohe!“
39 Peter arose and went with them. When he had arrived, they brought him to the upper room, and all the widows stood by him weeping, showing him the coats and garments that Dorcas had made while she had been with them.
Peetrus tõusis ja läks nendega. Joppesse jõudes juhatati ta ülemisse tuppa. Koguduse lesknaised tulid tema juurde, nutsid ja näitasid talle alussärke ja ülerõivaid, mis Dorkas nendega olles oli teinud.
40 Peter put them all out of the room, knelt down, and prayed; then, turning to the body, he said, “Tabitha, arise.” Then she opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up.
Aga Peetrus saatis nad kõik toast välja, laskus põlvili ja palvetas. Ta pöördus surnukeha poole ja ütles: „Tabiita, tõuse üles!“Tema avas oma silmad ja tõusis Peetrust nähes istuma.
41 Peter then gave her his hand and lifted her up; and when he called the believers and the widows, he presented her alive to them.
Peetrus võttis tal käest ja aitas ta jalule. Ta kutsus pühad ja lesknaised ning näitas teda neile elavana.
42 This matter became known throughout all Joppa, and many people believed on the Lord.
See sai teatavaks kogu Joppes ja paljud uskusid Issandasse.
43 It happened that Peter stayed for many days in Joppa with a man named Simon, a tanner.
Ja Peetrus jäi mõneks ajaks Joppesse nahkur Siimoni juurde.
