Πραξεις 9
1 Ὁ δὲ Σαῦλος ἔτι ἐμπνέων ἀπειλῆς καὶ φόνου εἰς τοὺς μαθητὰς τοῦ κυρίου, προσελθὼν τῷ ἀρχιερεῖ,
But Saul, still breathing threat and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, after going to the high priest,
2 ᾐτήσατο παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ ἐπιστολὰς εἰς Δαμασκὸν πρὸς τὰς συναγωγάς, ὅπως ἐάν τινας εὕρῃ τῆς ὁδοῦ ὄντας ἄνδρας τε καὶ γυναῖκας, δεδεμένους ἀγάγῃ εἰς Ἰερουσαλήμ.
he requested letters from him for Damascus, to the synagogues, so that if he found any who were of the Way, both men and women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3 ἐν δὲ τῷ πορεύεσθαι ἐγένετο αὐτὸν ἐγγίζειν τῇ Δαμασκῷ, ἐξαίφνης (τε *N(k)O*) αὐτὸν περιήστραψεν φῶς (ἐκ *N(k)O*) τοῦ οὐρανοῦ·
And on going, it came to pass for him to approach Damascus. And suddenly there shone around him a light out of heaven.
4 καὶ πεσὼν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν ἤκουσεν φωνὴν λέγουσαν αὐτῷ· Σαοὺλ Σαούλ, τί με διώκεις;
And after falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why do thou persecute me?
5 εἶπεν δέ· τίς εἶ, κύριε; ὁ δέ (κύριος εἶπεν· *k*) ἐγώ εἰμι Ἰησοῦς ὃν σὺ διώκεις (σκληρόν σοι πρὸς κέντρα λακτίζειν· *K*)
And he said, Who are thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecute.
6 (τρέμων τε καὶ θαμβῶν εἶπεν κύριε τί μέ θέλεις ποιῆσαι καὶ ὅ κύριος πρός αὐτόν *K*) (ἀλλ᾽ *NO*) ἀνάστηθι καὶ εἴσελθε εἰς τὴν πόλιν, καὶ λαληθήσεταί σοι (ὅ *N(o)*) (τί *NK(o)*) σε δεῖ ποιεῖν.
But arise, and enter into the city, and it will be told thee what thou must do.
7 οἱ δὲ ἄνδρες οἱ συνοδεύοντες αὐτῷ εἱστήκεισαν ἐνεοί, ἀκούοντες μὲν τῆς φωνῆς, μηδένα δὲ θεωροῦντες.
And the men who traveled with him had stopped, speechless, indeed hearing the voice, but seeing no man.
8 ἠγέρθη δὲ (ὁ *k*) Σαῦλος ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, ἀνεῳγμένων (δὲ *NK(o)*) τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ (οὐδὲν *N(k)O*) ἔβλεπεν· χειραγωγοῦντες δὲ αὐτὸν εἰσήγαγον εἰς Δαμασκόν.
And Saul arose from the ground. And when his eyes were opened, he saw no man. But they brought him into Damascus, leading him by the hand.
9 καὶ ἦν ἡμέρας τρεῖς μὴ βλέπων καὶ οὐκ ἔφαγεν οὐδὲ ἔπιεν.
And he was three days not seeing, and did not eat or drink.
10 Ἦν δέ τις μαθητὴς ἐν Δαμασκῷ ὀνόματι Ἁνανίας, καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν ἐν ὁράματι ὁ κύριος· Ἁνανία. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν· ἰδοὺ ἐγώ, κύριε.
Now there was a certain disciple in Damascus, named Ananias, and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold me, Lord.
11 ὁ δὲ κύριος πρὸς αὐτόν· (ἀναστὰς *NK(o)*) πορεύθητι ἐπὶ τὴν ῥύμην τὴν καλουμένην εὐθεῖαν καὶ ζήτησον ἐν οἰκίᾳ Ἰούδα Σαῦλον ὀνόματι Ταρσέα· ἰδοὺ γὰρ προσεύχεται
And the Lord said to him, After rising, go into the street called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas, a man named Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he is praying.
12 καὶ εἶδεν ἄνδρα ἐν ὁράματι Ἁνανίαν ὀνόματι εἰσελθόντα καὶ ἐπιθέντα αὐτῷ (τὰς *no*) (χεῖρας, *N(K)O*) ὅπως ἀναβλέψῃ.
And he saw in a vision a man named Ananias who came in and laid a hand on him, so that he might receive sight.
13 Ἀπεκρίθη δὲ (ὁ *k*) Ἁνανίας· κύριε, (ἤκουσα *N(k)O*) ἀπὸ πολλῶν περὶ τοῦ ἀνδρὸς τούτου, ὅσα κακὰ τοῖς ἁγίοις σου ἐποίησεν ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ·
But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how many evil things he did to thy sanctified at Jerusalem.
14 καὶ ὧδε ἔχει ἐξουσίαν παρὰ τῶν ἀρχιερέων δῆσαι πάντας τοὺς ἐπικαλουμένους τὸ ὄνομά σου.
And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call upon thy name.
15 Εἶπεν δὲ πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ κύριος· πορεύου, ὅτι σκεῦος ἐκλογῆς ἐστίν μοι οὗτος τοῦ βαστάσαι τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐνώπιον (τῶν *o*) ἐθνῶν (τε *no*) καὶ βασιλέων υἱῶν τε Ἰσραήλ.
But the Lord said to him, Go, because this man is a chosen vessel to me, to bear my name before Gentiles and kings, and sons of Israel.
16 ἐγὼ γὰρ ὑποδείξω αὐτῷ ὅσα δεῖ αὐτὸν ὑπὲρ τοῦ ὀνόματός μου παθεῖν.
For I will give him a glimpse of how many things it is necessary for him to suffer for my name.
17 Ἀπῆλθεν δὲ Ἁνανίας καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν, καὶ ἐπιθεὶς ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν τὰς χεῖρας εἶπεν· Σαοὺλ ἀδελφέ, ὁ κύριος ἀπέσταλκέν με, Ἰησοῦς ὁ ὀφθείς σοι ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ ᾗ ἤρχου, ὅπως ἀναβλέψῃς καὶ πλησθῇς πνεύματος ἁγίου.
And Ananias departed and entered into the house. And having laid hands on him he said, Brother Saul, the Lord, he who appeared to thee on the road on which thou came, has sent me so that thou may receive sight, and be filled of the Holy Spirit.
18 καὶ εὐθέως ἀπέπεσαν αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν (ὡς *N(k)O*) λεπίδες, ἀνέβλεψέν τε (παραχρῆμα *K*) καὶ ἀναστὰς ἐβαπτίσθη,
And straightaway there fell from his eyes, like scales, and he looked up. And immediately after rising up, he was immersed.
19 καὶ λαβὼν τροφὴν (ἐνίσχυσεν. *NK(o)*) Ἐγένετο δὲ (ὁ Σαῦλος *k*) μετὰ τῶν ἐν Δαμασκῷ μαθητῶν ἡμέρας τινάς·
And having received nourishment, he was strengthened. And Saul became with the disciples in Damascus some days.
20 καὶ εὐθέως ἐν ταῖς συναγωγαῖς ἐκήρυσσεν τὸν (Ἰησοῦν, *N(K)O*) ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ.
And straightaway he proclaimed the Christ in the synagogues, that this man is the Son of God.
21 ἐξίσταντο δὲ πάντες οἱ ἀκούοντες καὶ ἔλεγον· οὐχ οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ πορθήσας (εἰς *N(k)O*) Ἰερουσαλὴμ τοὺς ἐπικαλουμένους τὸ ὄνομα τοῦτο; καὶ ὧδε εἰς τοῦτο ἐληλύθει ἵνα δεδεμένους αὐτοὺς ἀγάγῃ ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς.
And all those who heard were amazed, and said, Is this not the man who destroyed those in Jerusalem who call on this name? And he has come here for this, so that he might bring them bound to the chief priests.
22 Σαῦλος δὲ μᾶλλον ἐνεδυναμοῦτο καὶ συνέχυννεν τοὺς Ἰουδαίους τοὺς κατοικοῦντας ἐν Δαμασκῷ, συμβιβάζων ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ χριστός.
But Saul was strengthened more, and was confounding the Jews who dwell at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
23 ὡς δὲ ἐπληροῦντο ἡμέραι ἱκαναί, συνεβουλεύσαντο οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ἀνελεῖν αὐτόν·
And after considerable days were fulfilled, the Jews plotted to destroy him,
24 ἐγνώσθη δὲ τῷ Σαύλῳ ἡ ἐπιβουλὴ αὐτῶν. (παρετηροῦντο δὲ *N(k)O*) (καὶ *no*) τὰς πύλας ἡμέρας τε καὶ νυκτός, ὅπως αὐτὸν ἀνέλωσιν·
but their plot was known to Saul. And they watched the gates both day and night so that they might destroy him.
25 λαβόντες δὲ οἱ μαθηταὶ (αὐτοῦ *NO*) νυκτὸς διὰ τοῦ τείχους καθῆκαν αὐτὸν χαλάσαντες ἐν σπυρίδι.
But the disciples, after taking him by night, let him down through the wall, having lowered him in a hamper.
26 Παραγενόμενος δὲ (ὁ Σαῦλος *k*) (εἰς *NK(o)*) Ἰερουσαλὴμ (ἐπείραζεν *N(k)O*) κολλᾶσθαι τοῖς μαθηταῖς· καὶ πάντες ἐφοβοῦντο αὐτὸν μὴ πιστεύοντες ὅτι ἐστὶν μαθητής.
And when Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he attempted to join with the disciples, and they all feared him, not believing that he is a disciple.
27 Βαρναβᾶς δὲ ἐπιλαβόμενος αὐτὸν ἤγαγεν πρὸς τοὺς ἀποστόλους καὶ διηγήσατο αὐτοῖς πῶς ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ εἶδεν τὸν κύριον καὶ ὅτι ἐλάλησεν αὐτῷ καὶ πῶς ἐν Δαμασκῷ ἐπαρρησιάσατο ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ Ἰησοῦ.
But Barnabas having taken him, he brought him to the apostles. And he related to them how he saw the Lord on the road, and that he spoke to him, and how he spoke boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
28 καὶ ἦν μετ᾽ αὐτῶν εἰσπορευόμενος καὶ ἐκπορευόμενος (εἰς *N(k)O*) Ἰερουσαλήμ,
And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem, and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus.
29 (καὶ *k*) παρρησιαζόμενος ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ κυρίου (Ἰησοῦ, *K*) ἐλάλει τε καὶ συνεζήτει πρὸς τοὺς Ἑλληνιστάς· οἱ δὲ ἐπεχείρουν ἀνελεῖν αὐτόν.
And he spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they attempted to destroy him.
30 ἐπιγνόντες δὲ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ κατήγαγον αὐτὸν εἰς Καισάρειαν καὶ ἐξαπέστειλαν αὐτὸν εἰς Ταρσόν.
But when the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him away to Tarsus.
31 (Ἡ *N(k)O*) μὲν οὖν (ἐκκλησία *N(K)O*) καθ᾽ ὅλης τῆς Ἰουδαίας καὶ Γαλιλαίας καὶ Σαμαρείας (εἶχεν *N(k)O*) εἰρήνην, (οἰκοδομουμένη *N(k)O*) καὶ (πορευομένη *N(k)O*) τῷ φόβῳ τοῦ κυρίου, καὶ τῇ παρακλήσει τοῦ ἁγίου πνεύματος (ἐπληθύνετο. *N(k)O*)
Indeed therefore the congregations throughout the whole of Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being edified. And, going in the fear of the Lord and in the encouragement of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.
32 Ἐγένετο δὲ Πέτρον διερχόμενον διὰ πάντων κατελθεῖν καὶ πρὸς τοὺς ἁγίους τοὺς κατοικοῦντας Λύδδα.
And it came to pass, Peter, passing through all parts, to also come down to the sanctified who dwell at Lydda.
33 εὗρεν δὲ ἐκεῖ ἄνθρωπόν τινα ὀνόματι Αἰνέαν ἐξ ἐτῶν ὀκτὼ κατακείμενον ἐπὶ (κραβάττου *N(k)O*) ὃς ἦν παραλελυμένος.
And he found there a certain man named Aeneas, who was paralyzed, laying on a bed for eight years.
34 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Πέτρος· Αἰνέα, ἰᾶταί σε Ἰησοῦς (ὁ *k*) Χριστός· ἀνάστηθι καὶ στρῶσον σεαυτῷ. καὶ εὐθέως ἀνέστη·
And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals thee. Arise and make thy bed. And straightaway he arose.
35 καὶ εἶδαν αὐτὸν πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες Λύδδα καὶ τὸν (Σαρῶνα, *NK(o)*) οἵτινες ἐπέστρεψαν ἐπὶ τὸν κύριον.
And all those dwelling at Lydda and Sharon who saw him, turned to the Lord.
36 Ἐν Ἰόππῃ δέ τις ἦν μαθήτρια ὀνόματι Ταβιθά, ἣ διερμηνευομένη λέγεται Δορκάς· αὕτη ἦν πλήρης ἔργων ἀγαθῶν καὶ ἐλεημοσυνῶν ὧν ἐποίει·
Now at Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which, being translated, is called Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and charities that she did.
37 ἐγένετο δὲ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις ἐκείναις ἀσθενήσασαν αὐτὴν ἀποθανεῖν· λούσαντες δὲ ἔθηκαν αὐτὴν ἐν ὑπερῴῳ.
And in those days, having been ill, she happened to die. And after washing her, they laid her in an upper chamber.
38 ἐγγὺς δὲ οὔσης Λύδδας τῇ Ἰόππῃ οἱ μαθηταὶ ἀκούσαντες ὅτι Πέτρος ἐστὶν ἐν αὐτῇ, ἀπέστειλαν δύο ἄνδρας πρὸς αὐτὸν παρακαλοῦντες· μὴ (ὀκνήσῃς *N(k)O*) διελθεῖν ἕως (ἡμῶν. *N(K)O*)
And since Lydda is near Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter is in it, they sent two men to him, exhorting him not to delay to go through to them.
39 ἀναστὰς δὲ Πέτρος συνῆλθεν αὐτοῖς· ὃν παραγενόμενον ἀνήγαγον εἰς τὸ ὑπερῷον, καὶ παρέστησαν αὐτῷ πᾶσαι αἱ χῆραι κλαίουσαι καὶ ἐπιδεικνύμεναι χιτῶνας καὶ ἱμάτια ὅσα ἐποίει μετ᾽ αὐτῶν οὖσα ἡ Δορκάς.
And after rising, Peter went with them, whom, after coming, they brought into the upper chamber. And all the widows stood by him weeping, and exhibiting the coats and garments, as many things as Dorcas made being with them.
40 ἐκβαλὼν δὲ ἔξω πάντας ὁ Πέτρος καὶ θεὶς τὰ γόνατα προσηύξατο· καὶ ἐπιστρέψας πρὸς τὸ σῶμα εἶπεν· Ταβιθά, ἀνάστηθι. ἡ δὲ ἤνοιξεν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῆς καὶ ἰδοῦσα τὸν Πέτρον ἀνεκάθισεν.
But Peter, having sent them all out, having knelt down, he prayed. And having turned to the body, he said, Tabitha, arise. And the woman opened her eyes. And when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41 δοὺς δὲ αὐτῇ χεῖρα ἀνέστησεν αὐτήν· φωνήσας δὲ τοὺς ἁγίους καὶ τὰς χήρας παρέστησεν αὐτὴν ζῶσαν.
And having given her a hand, he raised her up. And after calling the sanctified and the widows, he presented her alive.
42 γνωστὸν δὲ ἐγένετο καθ᾽ ὅλης τῆς Ἰόππης, καὶ ἐπίστευσαν πολλοὶ ἐπὶ τὸν κύριον.
And it became known throughout the whole of Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
43 ἐγένετο δὲ ἡμέρας ἱκανὰς μεῖναι (αὐτὸν *ko*) ἐν Ἰόππῃ παρά τινι Σίμωνι βυρσεῖ.
And it came to pass for him to remain considerable days at Joppa with a certain Simon, a tanner.
