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, still breathing out threats of murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to 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 begged of him letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any that were of the Way, either men or women, he could bind them and bring them 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.
And as he journeyed, when he was approaching Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed round 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 which said to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting 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.
And he said, "Who are you Lord?"
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.
"I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he said. "Stand up and go into the city, and there you shall 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.
Meanwhile the men who were his fellow travelers stood speechless, hearing indeed the voice, but beholding no one.
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.
And Saul got up from the ground, but although his eyes were open, he continued to perceive nothing; so they took him by the hand and led him into Damascus.
9 Ekolu la o kona ike ole ana, aole ia i ai, aole no hoi i inu.
And he remained there three days, seeing nothing, and without eating or drinking.
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.
Now there was in Damascus a disciple named Ananias, and the Lord spoke to him in a vision, saying, "Ananias!" And he answered, "Lo, I am here, Lord."
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.
And the Lord said to him. "Arise, go into the street named ‘Straight,’ and make inquiries in the house of Judas for a man of Tarsus, one Saul.
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.
He is now praying, and has seen a man named Ananias enter and lay 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, Lord," said Ananias, "I have heard from many about that man, and how much evil he did to the saints at 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.
"In this city, too, he has authority from the chief priests to arrest all those who call upon thy 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," answered the Lord, "this man is chosen instrument of mine to bear my name before the nations and their kings, and before the Children of Israel also;
16 No ka mea, e hoike aku ana au ia ia i ka nui o kona ohaeha ana no ko'u nei inoa.
"for I am going to show him all he has to suffer for the sake of 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.
And so Ananias went and entered into the house, and laying his hands on him, said, "Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, who appeared to you on your journey, has sent me that you may receive your sight, 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.
Instantly something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose 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.
Afterward he took food and was strengthened. And he remained for some time with the disciples at Damascus.
20 Hai koke aku la ia maloko o na halehalawai, ia Iesu, o ke Keiki ia a ke Akua.
And he began at once to proclaim in the synagogues Jesus as 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?
His hearers were all astonished, and began to say. "Is not this the very man who in Jerusalem made havoc of those who called upon the Name? Did he not come hither for the express purpose of carrying them all in chains to the high 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 gained more and more influence, and kept putting the Jews who lived in Damascus to confusion by his proof that Jesus was the Christ.
23 A hala ia mau la, kukakuka ka poe Iudaio e pepehi ia ia.
And when many days were fulfilled the Jews made a plot to kill Saul;
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 information of their plot was given Saul, and although they kept watch day and night on the gates, in order to make away with 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.
his disciples took him by night, and let him down over the wall, lowering him in a basket.
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.
So he came to Jerusalem, and attempted to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, because they did not believe 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.
But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and told them how Saul had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him; and also how he had preached the Name of the Lord Jesus boldly at Damascus.
28 Me lakou pu iho la no ia ma Ierusalema, i ka hele ana aku a i ka hoi ana mai.
Henceforth Saul was one of them, going in and out of the city, and speaking fearlessly 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 also used to hold conversations and debates with the Grecian Jews, but they kept trying 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 they learned this the brothers took him down to Caesarea, and then sent him forth 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.
Now throughout the whole of Judea, Galilee, and Samaria the Church continued to enjoy peace and to be spiritually built up. It was increasing in members also, as it kept walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort 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.
Now Peter, as he was going from town to town, came down also to the saints who lived 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.
Here he found a man named Aeneas, bedridden for eight years, a paralytic.
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.
Peter said to him. "Aeneas, Jesus Christ cures you! Rise and make your own bed!"
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.
At once he rose to his feet. All the people of Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they 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.
Among the disciples at Joppa was a woman named Tabitha - which may be translated Dorcas or "Gazelle" - a woman whose life was full of good works and almsgiving, which she was doing continually.
37 Ia mau la mai iho Ia ia a make. Holoi aku ia lakou ia ia, a waiho iho Ia ma ke keena maluna.
She, as it happened, was taken ill just at that time, and died. After washing her body, they laid it 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.
And as Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, when they heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him with the entreaty, "Delay not to come to us."
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 arose and went with them. On his arrival they took him up- stairs, and all the widows stood near him, weeping, and showing him the cloaks and garments which Dorcas used to make, 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.
But Peter put them all out, and kneeled down, and prayed; and then turning to the body, he said, "Tabitha, rise!" She opened her eyes, and on 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.
Then he gave her his hand and raised her up, and after calling the saints and the widows, he gave her back 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 incident became known throughout Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
43 A noho iho la ia ma Iopo i kekahi mau la, me Simona ka hanaili.
Peter stayed for some time in Joppa, lodging in the house of Simon, the tanner.
