< Acts 9 >

1 And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
ο δε σαυλοσ ετι εμπνεων απειλησ και φονου εισ τουσ μαθητασ του κυριου προσελθων τω αρχιερει
2 And desired from him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he should find any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
ητησατο παρ αυτου επιστολασ εισ δαμασκον προσ τασ συναγωγασ οπωσ εαν τινασ ευρη τησ οδου οντασ ανδρασ τε και γυναικασ δεδεμενουσ αγαγη εισ ιερουσαλημ
3 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined around him a light from heaven:
εν δε τω πορευεσθαι εγενετο αυτον εγγιζειν τη δαμασκω και εξαιφνησ περιηστραψεν αυτον φωσ απο του ουρανου
4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
και πεσων επι την γην ηκουσεν φωνην λεγουσαν αυτω σαουλ σαουλ τι με διωκεισ
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest. [It is] hard for thee to kick against the goads.
ειπεν δε τισ ει κυριε ο δε κυριοσ ειπεν εγω ειμι ιησουσ ον συ διωκεισ
6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord [said] to him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
αλλα αναστηθι και εισελθε εισ την πολιν και λαληθησεται σοι τι σε δει ποιειν
7 And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
οι δε ανδρεσ οι συνοδευοντεσ αυτω ειστηκεισαν ενεοι ακουοντεσ μεν τησ φωνησ μηδενα δε θεωρουντεσ
8 And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought [him] into Damascus.
ηγερθη δε ο σαυλοσ απο τησ γησ ανεωγμενων τε των οφθαλμων αυτου ουδενα εβλεπεν χειραγωγουντεσ δε αυτον εισηγαγον εισ δαμασκον
9 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
και ην ημερασ τρεισ μη βλεπων και ουκ εφαγεν ουδε επιεν
10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I [am here], Lord.
ην δε τισ μαθητησ εν δαμασκω ονοματι ανανιασ και ειπεν προσ αυτον ο κυριοσ εν οραματι ανανια ο δε ειπεν ιδου εγω κυριε
11 And the Lord [said] to him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for [one] called Saul of Tarsus: for behold, he prayeth,
ο δε κυριοσ προσ αυτον αναστασ πορευθητι επι την ρυμην την καλουμενην ευθειαν και ζητησον εν οικια ιουδα σαυλον ονοματι ταρσεα ιδου γαρ προσευχεται
12 And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias, coming in, and putting [his] hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
και ειδεν εν οραματι ανδρα ονοματι ανανιαν εισελθοντα και επιθεντα αυτω χειρα οπωσ αναβλεψη
13 Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
απεκριθη δε ανανιασ κυριε ακηκοα απο πολλων περι του ανδροσ τουτου οσα κακα εποιησεν τοισ αγιοισ σου εν ιερουσαλημ
14 And here he hath authority from the chief priests, to bind all that call on thy name.
και ωδε εχει εξουσιαν παρα των αρχιερεων δησαι παντασ τουσ επικαλουμενουσ το ονομα σου
15 But the Lord said to him, Go, for he is a chosen vessel to me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel.
ειπεν δε προσ αυτον ο κυριοσ πορευου οτι σκευοσ εκλογησ μοι εστιν ουτοσ του βαστασαι το ονομα μου ενωπιον εθνων και βασιλεων υιων τε ισραηλ
16 For I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.
εγω γαρ υποδειξω αυτω οσα δει αυτον υπερ του ονοματοσ μου παθειν
17 And Ananias went, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord ([even] Jesus that appeared to thee in the way as thou camest) hath sent me, that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
απηλθεν δε ανανιασ και εισηλθεν εισ την οικιαν και επιθεισ επ αυτον τασ χειρασ ειπεν σαουλ αδελφε ο κυριοσ απεσταλκεν με ο οφθεισ σοι εν τη οδω η ηρχου οπωσ αναβλεψησ και πλησθησ πνευματοσ αγιου
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
και ευθεωσ απεπεσον απο των οφθαλμων αυτου ωσει λεπιδεσ ανεβλεψεν τε και αναστασ εβαπτισθη
19 And when he had received food, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
και λαβων τροφην ενισχυσεν εγενετο δε ο σαυλοσ μετα των εν δαμασκω μαθητων ημερασ τινασ
20 And immediately he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
και ευθεωσ εν ταισ συναγωγαισ εκηρυσσεν τον χριστον οτι ουτοσ εστιν ο υιοσ του θεου
21 But all that heard [him] were amazed, and said, Is not this he that destroyed them who called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?
εξισταντο δε παντεσ οι ακουοντεσ και ελεγον ουχ ουτοσ εστιν ο πορθησασ εν ιερουσαλημ τουσ επικαλουμενουσ το ονομα τουτο και ωδε εισ τουτο εληλυθεν ινα δεδεμενουσ αυτουσ αγαγη επι τουσ αρχιερεισ
22 But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
σαυλοσ δε μαλλον ενεδυναμουτο και συνεχυνεν τουσ ιουδαιουσ τουσ κατοικουντασ εν δαμασκω συμβιβαζων οτι ουτοσ εστιν ο χριστοσ
23 And after many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him.
ωσ δε επληρουντο ημεραι ικαναι συνεβουλευσαντο οι ιουδαιοι ανελειν αυτον
24 But their laying in wait, was known to Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.
εγνωσθη δε τω σαυλω η επιβουλη αυτων παρετηρουν τε τασ πυλασ ημερασ τε και νυκτοσ οπωσ αυτον ανελωσιν
25 Then the disciples took him by night, and let [him] down by the wall in a basket.
λαβοντεσ δε αυτον οι μαθηται νυκτοσ καθηκαν δια του τειχουσ χαλασαντεσ εν σπυριδι
26 And when Saul had come to Jerusalem, he essayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.
παραγενομενοσ δε ο σαυλοσ εν ιερουσαλημ επειρατο κολλασθαι τοισ μαθηταισ και παντεσ εφοβουντο αυτον μη πιστευοντεσ οτι εστιν μαθητησ
27 But Barnabas took him, and brought [him] to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
βαρναβασ δε επιλαβομενοσ αυτον ηγαγεν προσ τουσ αποστολουσ και διηγησατο αυτοισ πωσ εν τη οδω ειδεν τον κυριον και οτι ελαλησεν αυτω και πωσ εν δαμασκω επαρρησιασατο εν τω ονοματι του ιησου
28 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.
και ην μετ αυτων εισπορευομενοσ εισ ιερουσαλημ και παρρησιαζομενοσ εν τω ονοματι του κυριου ιησου
29 And he spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
ελαλει τε και συνεζητει προσ τουσ ελληνιστασ οι δε επεχειρουν αυτον ανελειν
30 [Which] when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Cesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
επιγνοντεσ δε οι αδελφοι κατηγαγον αυτον εισ καισαρειαν και εξαπεστειλαν αυτον εισ ταρσον
31 Then had the churches rest throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, and were edified: and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, were multiplied.
αι μεν ουν εκκλησιαι καθ ολησ τησ ιουδαιασ και γαλιλαιασ και σαμαρειασ ειχον ειρηνην οικοδομουμεναι και πορευομεναι τω φοβω του κυριου και τη παρακλησει του αγιου πνευματοσ επληθυνοντο
32 And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all [quarters], he came down also to the saints who dwelt at Lydda.
εγενετο δε πετρον διερχομενον δια παντων κατελθειν και προσ τουσ αγιουσ τουσ κατοικουντασ λυδδαν
33 And there he found a certain man named Eneas, who had kept his bed eight years, and was sick with the palsy.
ευρεν δε εκει ανθρωπον τινα αινεαν ονοματι εξ ετων οκτω κατακειμενον επι κραββατω οσ ην παραλελυμενοσ
34 And Peter said to him, Eneas, Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
και ειπεν αυτω ο πετροσ αινεα ιαται σε ιησουσ ο χριστοσ αναστηθι και στρωσον σεαυτω και ευθεωσ ανεστη
35 And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.
και ειδον αυτον παντεσ οι κατοικουντεσ λυδδαν και τον ασσαρωνα οιτινεσ επεστρεψαν επι τον κυριον
36 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, who by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and alms-deeds which she did.
εν ιοππη δε τισ ην μαθητρια ονοματι ταβηθα η διερμηνευομενη λεγεται δορκασ αυτη ην πληρησ αγαθων εργων και ελεημοσυνων ων εποιει
37 And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom, when they had washed, they laid in an upper chamber.
εγενετο δε εν ταισ ημεραισ εκειναισ ασθενησασαν αυτην αποθανειν λουσαντεσ δε αυτην εθηκαν εν υπερωω
38 And as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent to him two men, desiring [him] that he would not delay to come to them.
εγγυσ δε ουσησ λυδδησ τη ιοππη οι μαθηται ακουσαντεσ οτι πετροσ εστιν εν αυτη απεστειλαν προσ αυτον παρακαλουντεσ μη οκνησαι διελθειν εωσ αυτων
39 Then Peter arose, and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
αναστασ δε πετροσ συνηλθεν αυτοισ ον παραγενομενον ανηγαγον εισ το υπερωον και παρεστησαν αυτω πασαι αι χηραι κλαιουσαι και επιδεικνυμεναι χιτωνασ και ιματια οσα εποιει μετ αυτων ουσα η δορκασ
40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning to the body, said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
εκβαλων δε εξω παντασ ο πετροσ θεισ τα γονατα προσηυξατο και επιστρεψασ προσ το σωμα ειπεν ταβηθα αναστηθι η δε ηνοιξεν τουσ οφθαλμουσ αυτησ και ιδουσα τον πετρον ανεκαθισεν
41 And he gave her [his] hand, and lifted her up; and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
δουσ δε αυτη χειρα ανεστησεν αυτην φωνησασ δε τουσ αγιουσ και τασ χηρασ παρεστησεν αυτην ζωσαν
42 And it was known throughout all Joppa: and many believed in the Lord.
γνωστον δε εγενετο καθ ολησ τησ ιοππησ και πολλοι επιστευσαν επι τον κυριον
43 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
εγενετο δε ημερασ ικανασ μειναι αυτον εν ιοππη παρα τινι σιμωνι βυρσει
