Oihana 9
1 E HA aku ana o Saulo i ka olelo hooweliweli, a me ka luku aku i na haumana a ka Haku, hele aku la ia i ke kahuna nui,
Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the disciples of the Lord. He approached the high priest
2 Nonoi aku la i mau palapala no na halehalawai ma Damaseko, ina loaa ia ia kekahi mau mea no keia aoao, na kane paha, na wahine paha, e alakai mai no oia ia lakou me ka nakinakiia ma Ierusalema.
and requested letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any men or women belonging to the Way, he could bring them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
3 A i kona hele ana aku, a kokoke ia i hiki i Damaseko, anapu koko mai a puni iho la ia i ka malamalama mai ka lani mai.
As Saul drew near to Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.
4 Hina iho la i ka honua, e lohe aku la ia i leo, i ka i ana mai ia ia. E Saulo, e Saulo, no ke aha la oe e hoomaau mai nei ia'u?
He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?”
5 I aku la ia, Owai oe, e ka Haku? I mai la ka Haku, O Iesu no wau ka mea au e hoomaau mai nei. O ke keehi ana i na mea oioi, he mea ia e eha ai nou.
“Who are You, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” He replied.
6 I aku la ia me ka hopohopo a me ka haalulu, e ka Haku, heaha kou makemake e hana aku ai au? I mai la ka Haku ia ia, E ala oe iluna, a e hele i ke kulauakauhale, a e haiia no ia oe ka mea pono nau e hana aku ai.
“Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
7 A o na kanaka e hele pu ana me ia, ku iho la lakou me ka leopaa, ua lohe no lakou i ka leo, aole nae i ike aku i kekahi mea.
The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless. They heard the voice but did not see anyone.
8 Ala mai la o Saulo, mai ka honua mai, oaka ae la kona mau maka, aole nae ia i ike i kekahi mea. Alakai lima aku Ia lakou ia ia a hiki aku i Damaseko.
Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could not see a thing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus.
9 Ekolu la o kona ike ole ana, aole ia i ai, aole no hoi i inu.
For three days he was without sight, and he did not eat or drink anything.
10 Aia no ma Damaseko, kekahi haumana, o Anania kona inoa. I mai la ka Haku ia ia ma ka hihio, E Anania, I aku la kela, Eia no wau, e ka Haku.
In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord spoke to him in a vision, “Ananias!” “Here I am, Lord,” he answered.
11 I mai la ka Haku ia ia, E ku, a e hele ma ke kuamoo, i kapaia o Pololei, ma ka hale o Iuda, e imi i kekahi mea i kapaia o Saulo, no Tareso, no ka mea, aia hoi, ke pule la ia.
“Get up!” the Lord told him. “Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying.
12 A ma ka hihio oia i ike aku ai i kekahi kanaka, o Anania kona inoa, e hele mai ana, a kau i ka lima maluna ona, i ike ia.
In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight.”
13 I aku la o Anania, E ka Haku e, ua nui loa na mea a'u i lohe ai i ua kanaka la, i ka nui o ka hewa ana i hana aku ai i kou poe haipule ma Ierusalema.
But Ananias answered, “Lord, many people have told me about this man and all the harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem.
14 Ua loaa no hoi ia ia ka mana na ke kahuna nui mai, e hoopaa i na mea a pau i hea aku i kou inoa.
And now he is here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on Your name.”
15 I mai la ka Haku ia ia, O hele: no ka mea, he ipu i kohoia na'u oia nei, e lawe aka ai i ko'u inoa imua o ko na aina e, a me na'lii, a me na mamo a Iaeraela.
“Go!” said the Lord. “This man is My chosen instrument to carry My name before the Gentiles and their kings, and before the people of Israel.
16 No ka mea, e hoike aku ana au ia ia i ka nui o kona ohaeha ana no ko'u nei inoa.
I will show him how much he must suffer for My name.”
17 Holo aku la o Anania a komo aka la i ka hale; a kau aku la i kona mau lima maluna ona, i aku la, E Saulo, e ke kaikaina, na hoouna mai nei ka Haku ia'u, o Iesu, ka mea au i ike ai ma ke ala au i hele mai ai, i ike oe, a i piha hoi i ka Uhane Hemolele.
So Ananias went to the house, and when he arrived, he placed his hands on Saul. “Brother Saul,” he said, “the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
18 Haule koke iho la mai kona mau maka mai me he mau unahi la, a ike koke iho la ia, a ku mai la, bapetizoia iho la.
At that instant, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and his sight was restored. He got up and was baptized,
19 A i ka lawe ana i ai, ikaika ae la. Noho iho la o Saulo, i kekahi mau la me na haumana ma Damaseko.
and after taking some food, he regained his strength. And he spent several days with the disciples in Damascus.
20 Hai koke aku la ia maloko o na halehalawai, ia Iesu, o ke Keiki ia a ke Akua.
Saul promptly began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, declaring, “He is the Son of God.”
21 Kahaha iho la ka poe a pau i lohe, i ae la; Aole anei keia ka mea i luku ai i ka poe i hea aku ma keia inoa ma Ierusalema, a hele mai hoi ia nei e lawe ia lakou me ka paa, i na kahuna nui?
All who heard him were astounded and asked, “Isn’t this the man who wreaked havoc in Jerusalem on those who call on this name? And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?”
22 Mahuahua nui aku la ka ikaika o Saulo: a pilipu ia ia ka poe Iudaio, e noho ana ma Damaseko i kona hoakaka ana, o ka Mesia no keia.
But Saul was empowered all the more, and he confounded the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ.
23 A hala ia mau la, kukakuka ka poe Iudaio e pepehi ia ia.
After many days had passed, the Jews conspired to kill him,
24 Ike ae la o Saulo i ka lakou kuka ana. Hoomakakiu aku la lakou ma na puka i ke ao a me ka po e pepehi ia ia.
but Saul learned of their plot. Day and night they watched the city gates in order to kill him.
25 Lawe aku La na haumana ia ia i ka po, a ma ka hinai, hookuu iho la ia ia ilalo, mawaho o ka pa.
One night, however, his disciples took him and lowered him in a basket through a window in the wall.
26 A hiki aku la o Saulo i Ierusalema, hoao aku la ia e hui pu me na haumana, makau mai la lakou a pau ia ia, no ka mea, aole lakou i manao he haumana ia.
When Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
27 Lalau aku la o Barenaba ia ia, a alakai aku la ia ia i na lunaolelo, a hoakaka aku la i kona ike ana i ka Haku ma ke alanui, a me kana olelo ana mai ia ia, a me kana ao ikaika ana aku ma Damaseko, ma ka inoa o Iesu.
Then Barnabas brought him to the apostles and described how Saul had seen the Lord, who spoke to him on the road to Damascus, and how Saul had spoken boldly in that city in the name of Jesus.
28 Me lakou pu iho la no ia ma Ierusalema, i ka hele ana aku a i ka hoi ana mai.
So Saul stayed with them, moving about freely in Jerusalem and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.
29 A e ao wiwo ole aku ia ma ka inoa o Iesu, me ka hoopaapaa aku i ka poe Helene; a kukakuka iho la lakou e pepehi ia ia.
He talked and debated with the Grecian Jews, but they tried to kill him.
30 A ike iho la na hoahanau, lawe aku la lakou ia ia i Kaisareia, a hoouna aku la ia ia i Tareso.
When the brothers learned of this, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
31 A maluhia iho la na ekalesia ma Iudea a pau, a me Galilaia, a me Samaria hoi. Hookupaaia iho la lakou, e hele ana me ka makau i ka Haku, a me ka olioli o ka Uhane Hemolele, a mahuahua iho la lakou.
Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria experienced a time of peace. It grew in strength and numbers, living in the fear of the Lord and the encouragement of the Holy Spirit.
32 A i ko Petero kaahele ana ma na wahi a pau, hiki ae la ia i ka poe haipule e noho ana ma Luda.
As Peter traveled throughout the area, he went to visit the saints in Lydda.
33 Loaa aku la ia ia ilaila kekahi kanaka, o Ainea kona inoa, ua moe ma ka moe no na makahiki ewalu, i ka mai lolo.
There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been paralyzed and bedridden for eight years.
34 I mai la o Petero ia ia, E Ainea, ke hoola mai nei o Iesu Kristo ia oe; e ku, a nau no e holahola i kou wahi moe. Ku koke ae la ia.
“Aeneas,” Peter said to him, “Jesus Christ heals you! Get up and put away your mat.” Immediately Aeneas got up,
35 O ka poe a pau, e noho ana ma Luda, a ma Sarona, ike aku la lakou ia ia, a huli iho la i ka Haku.
and all who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord.
36 Aia ma Iope kekahi haumana wahine, o Tabita ka inoa, ma ka hoohalike ana hoi, ua iia o Doreka, ua nui na hana maikai, a me na manawalea ana i hana'i.
In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which is translated as Dorcas), who was always occupied with works of kindness and charity.
37 Ia mau la mai iho Ia ia a make. Holoi aku ia lakou ia ia, a waiho iho Ia ma ke keena maluna.
At that time, however, she became sick and died, and her body was washed and placed in an upper room.
38 Ua kokoke no o Luda ma Iope, a lohe ae la na haumana i ko Petero hiki ana mala i la, hoouna aku la lakou i elua kanaka ia ia, nonoi aku la laua aole e hookaulua i kona hele ana io lakou la.
Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples heard that Peter was there and sent two men to urge him, “Come to us without delay.”
39 Ku no la o Petero iluna, a hele pu me laua: a hiki aku la ia, alakai aku la lakou ia ia i ua keena la maluna; a ku pu me ia ua wahinekanemake a pau e uwe ana, a e hoike ana i na palule, a me na kapa komo a Doreka i hana'i i kona wa i noho pu ai me lakou.
So Peter got up and went with them. On his arrival, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood around him, weeping and showing him the tunics and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them.
40 Kipaku aku la o Petero ia lakou a pau mawaho, kukuli iho la a pule aku la; alaila haliu ae la ia ma ke kino, i aku la, E Tabita, e ala mai oe; oaka ao la kona mau maka, a ike ao la oia ia Petero, ala ae la ia iluna.
Then Peter sent them all out of the room. He knelt down and prayed, and turning toward her body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, she sat up.
41 Haawi aku la o Petero i ka lima ia ia, hooku ao la ia ia iluna; kii aku la ia i ka poe haipule, a me na wahinokanemake, a hoike aku la ia ia e ola'na.
Peter took her by the hand and helped her up. Then he called the saints and widows and presented her to them alive.
42 A ikea ao la ia mea ma Iope a pau; a nui na mea i manaoio aku i ka Haku.
This became known all over Joppa, and many people believed in the Lord.
43 A noho iho la ia ma Iopo i kekahi mau la, me Simona ka hanaili.
And Peter stayed for several days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.
