Apostolok 21
1 A mint pedig, ő tőlük elszakadván, elindultunk, egyenesen haladva Kóusba érkezénk, másnap pedig Rhodusba, és onnét Patarába.
[After] we said goodbye to the elders [from Ephesus], we [got on the ship and] sailed to Cos [Island, where the ship stopped for the night]. The next day we sailed from Cos to Rhodes [Island, where the ship stopped again. The day after] that we sailed to Patara [town, where the ship stopped. This was on Patara Island].
2 És mikor találtunk egy hajót, mely Fenicziába méne által, abba beülvén, elhajózánk.
[At Patara we left that ship, and someone told us that] there was a ship that would be going to Phoenicia [region. So] we got on that ship, and it left.
3 És miután megláttuk Cziprust és elhagytuk azt balkézre, evezénk Siriába, és Tirusban köténk ki: mert a hajó ott rakja vala ki a terhét.
[We sailed until] we could see Cyprus [Island]. We passed to the south of the island and continued sailing until we arrived at [Phoenicia region, in] Syria [province]. We arrived at Tyre [city. The ship was going to stay there several days, because its workers] had to unload the cargo.
4 És ott maradánk hét napig, miután feltaláltuk a tanítványokat, kik Pálnak mondják vala a Lélek által, hogy ne menjen fel Jeruzsálembe.
[Someone told us] where the believers in Tyre lived, so we [(exc) went and] stayed with them for seven days. Because [God’s] Spirit revealed to them ([that people would cause Paul to suffer/Paul would suffer]) [in Jerusalem], they told Paul that he should not go there.
5 Mikor pedig eltöltöttük azokat a napokat, kimenvén, elutazánk; kikísérvén bennünket mindnyájan feleségestől, gyermekestől egészen a városon kívülre. És a tenger partján térdre esve imádkozánk.
But when it was time [for the ship to leave again], we [prepared to] continue going [to Jerusalem]. When we left [Tyre], all the believers, including their wives and children, went with us [to the edge of the sea]. We all knelt down there on the sand/shore and prayed.
6 És egymástól elbúcsúzván, beülénk a hajóba, azok pedig megtérének az övéikhez.
After we all said goodbye, Paul and we [his companions] got on the ship, and the [other] believers returned to their own homes.
7 Mi pedig a hajózást bevégezvén, Tirusból eljutánk Ptolemaisba; és köszöntvén az atyafiakat, nálok maradánk egy napig.
After we [(exc)] left Tyre, we continued on [that ship] to Ptolemais [city]. There were believers there, and we greeted them and stayed with them that night.
8 Másnap pedig elmenvén Pál és mi, kik ő vele valánk, érkezénk Czezáreába; és bemenvén a Filep evangyélista házába, ki ama hét közül való vala, ő nála maradánk.
The next day we left [Ptolemais] and sailed to Caesarea [city], where we stayed in the home of Philip, who [spent his days] telling others how to become disciples of Jesus. He was one of the seven [men whom the believers in Jerusalem had chosen to care for the widows].
9 Ennek pedig vala négy szűz leánya, a kik prófétálnak vala.
He had four daughters who were not married. Each of them [frequently] spoke messages that the Holy Spirit had revealed to them.
10 Mialatt pedig mi több napig ott maradánk, alájöve egy Júdeából való próféta, névszerint Agabus.
After [we(exc) had been in Philip’s house for] several days, a believer whose name was Agabus came down from Judea [district] and arrived [in Caesarea]. He [frequently] spoke messages that the Holy Spirit had told him.
11 És mikor hozzánk jött, vevé Pálnak az övét, és megkötözvén a maga kezeit és lábait, monda: Ezt mondja a Szent Lélek: A férfiút, a kié ez az öv, ekképen kötözik meg a zsidók Jeruzsálemben, és adják a pogányoknak kezébe.
Coming over to where we were, he took off Paul’s belt. Then he tied his own feet and hands with it and said, “The Holy Spirit says, ‘The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] in Jerusalem will tie up [the hands and feet of] the owner of this belt, like this, and they will hand him over to non-Jewish people [as a prisoner].’”
12 Mikor pedig ezeket hallottuk, kérők, mind mi, mind az oda valók, hogy ne menjen fel Jeruzsálembe.
When [the rest of] us heard that, we and [other] believers there repeatedly pled with Paul, “Please do not go up to Jerusalem!”
13 De Pál felele: Mit míveltek sírván és az én szívemet kesergetvén? mert én nemcsak megkötöztetni, hanem meghalni is kész vagyok Jeruzsálemben az Úr Jézusnak nevéért.
But Paul replied, “(Please stop crying and trying to discourage me [IDM] [from going!]/Why are you crying and trying to discourage me [IDM] [from going]?) [RHQ] I am willing to be put {[for people] to put me} in prison and also to be killed {[for them] to kill me} in Jerusalem because I [serve] [MTY] the Lord Jesus.”
14 Mikor azért nem engedett, megnyugodtunk, mondván: Legyen meg az Úrnak akaratja.
When [we(exc) realized that] he was determined [to go to Jerusalem], we did not try [any longer] to persuade him [not to go]. We said, “May (the Lord [God] do what he wants/the Lord’s will be done)!”
15 E napok után pedig felkészülődvén, felmenénk Jeruzsálembe.
After those days [in Caesarea], we [(exc)] prepared [our things] and [left to] go [by land] up to Jerusalem.
16 Jövének pedig mi velünk együtt a tanítványok közül is Czézáreából, kik elvezetének bizonyos cziprusi Mnásonhoz, egy régi tanítványhoz, hogy ott legyen szállásunk.
Some of the believers from Caesarea also went with us. [On the way to Jerusalem], we stayed [one night] in the house of [a man whose name was] Mnason. He was from Cyprus [Island], and he had believed [in Jesus] when people were first beginning to hear the message [about him].
17 Mikor azért Jeruzsálembe jutottunk, örömmel fogadának minket az atyafiak.
When we arrived in Jerusalem, [a group of] the believers greeted us happily.
18 Másnap pedig beméne Pál velünk együtt Jakabhoz; és a vének mindnyájan ott valának.
The next day Paul and the rest of us went to speak with James, [who was the leader of the congregation there]. All of the [other] leaders/elders [of the congregation in Jerusalem] were also there.
19 És köszöntvén őket, elbeszélé egyenként, a miket az Isten a pogányok között az ő szolgálata által cselekedett.
Paul greeted them, and then he reported all of the things that God had enabled him to do among the non-Jewish people.
20 Azok pedig ezt hallván, dicsőíték az Urat; és mondának néki: Látod, atyámfia, mely sok ezeren vannak zsidók, kik hívőkké lettek; és mindnyájan buzognak a törvény mellett:
When they heard that, James and the other elders said, “Praise the Lord!” Then [one of] them said to Paul, “Brother/Friend, you [(sg)] know that there are very many thousands of us [(inc)] Jewish people [here] who have believed [in the Lord Jesus]. Also, you know that we [(inc)] all continue very carefully to obey the laws [that Moses gave us].
21 Felőled pedig azt hallották, hogy te mindazokat a zsidókat, kik a pogányok között vannak, Mózestől való elszakadásra tanítod, azt mondván, hogy ne metéljék körül fiaikat, se a zsidó szokások szerint ne járjanak.
[But our fellow Jewish believers] have been told {have heard [people say]} that when you are among non-Jews, you tell the Jewish believers who live there that they should stop obeying [the laws] [MTY] ([of] Moses/[that] Moses [received from God]). [People say that] you tell [those Jewish believers] not to circumcise their sons and not to practice our [other] customs. [We(exc) do not believe that this is true].
22 Micsoda annakokáért? Mindenesetre össze kell gyülekezni a sokaságnak; mert meghallják, hogy ide jöttél.
But our fellow [Jewish] believers will certainly hear that you have arrived, [and they will be angry with you]. So [you] need to do something [RHQ] [to show them that what they heard about you is not true].
23 Ezt míveld azért, a mit néked mondunk: Van mi köztünk négy férfiú, kik fogadalmat vettek magokra;
So you should do what we suggest to you. There are four men among us who have strongly promised [to God] about [something].
24 Ezeket magad mellé vévén, tisztulj meg velök, és költs rájok, hogy megnyíressék fejöket: és megtudják mindenek, hogy semmi sincs azokban, a miket te felőled hallottak; hanem te magad is úgy jársz, hogy a törvényt megtartod.
Go with these men [to the Temple] and [ritually] purify yourself along with them. Then, [when it is time for them to offer the sacrifices for that ritual], pay for what they offer [as sacrifices]. After that, they can shave their heads [to show that they have done what they promised to do. And when people see you in the courts of the Temple with those men], they will know that what they have been told {what people have told them} about you is not true. Instead, all of them will know that you obey all our Jewish laws [and rituals].
25 A pogányokból lett hívők felől pedig mi írtunk, azt végezvén, hogy ők semmi ilyenfélét ne tartsanak meg, hanem csak oltalmazzák meg magokat mind a bálványoknak áldozott hústól, mind a vértől, mind a fúlvaholt állattól, mind a paráznaságtól.
As for the non-Jewish believers, [we elders here in Jerusalem have talked] about [which of our laws] they [should obey, and] we [(exc)] wrote them [a letter, telling them] what we decided. [We wrote] that they should not eat meat that people have offered as a sacrifice to any idol, [that they should not eat] blood [from animals], and that [they should not eat] meat from animals [that people have killed by] strangling [them. We also told them that] they should not have sex with someone to whom they are not married.”
26 Akkor Pál maga mellé véve azokat a férfiakat, másnap ő velök megtisztulván, beméne a templomba, bejelentvén a tisztulás napjainak eltelését, a míg mindegyikökért elvégeztetik az áldozat.
So Paul [agreed to do what they asked], and the next day he took the [four] men, and together they ritually purified themselves. After that, Paul went to the Temple [courts and] told [the priest] what day they would [finish] purifying themselves [ritually] and when [they] would offer [the animals as sacrifices] for each of them.
27 Mikor pedig a hét nap immár eltelőben volt, az Ázsiából való zsidók, meglátván őt a templomban, felindíták az egész sokaságot, és reá veték kezöket,
When the seven days [for purifying themselves] were nearly finished, Paul [returned] to the Temple [courtyard]. Some Jews from Asia [province] saw him there, [and they were very angry at him]. On another day they had seen Paul [walking around] in Jerusalem with Trophimus, who was a non-Jew. Their laws did not permit non-Jews to be in the Temple, and they thought that Paul had brought Trophimus into the Temple [courtyard that day. So] they called out to many other Jews [who were in the Temple courtyard] to [help them] seize [MTY] Paul. They shouted, “Fellow Israelites, come and help [us punish this] man! This is the one who is [constantly] teaching people wherever [he goes that they] should despise the [Jewish] people. [He teaches people that they should no longer obey] the laws [of Moses] nor respect this holy [Temple]. He has even brought non-Jews here into [the court of] our Temple, causing God to consider it no longer holy!”
28 Kiáltván: Izraelita férfiak, legyetek segítségül: ez az az ember, ki e nép ellen, a törvény ellen és e hely ellen tanít mindenkit mindenütt; ezen felül még görögöket is hozott be a templomba, és megfertéztette ezt a szent helyet.
29 Mert látták vala annakelőtte az efézusi Trofimust ő vele a városban, kiről azt vélék, hogy Pál bevitte a templomba.
30 Megmozdula azért az egész város, és a nép összecsődüle: és Pált megragadván, vonszolják vala ki őt a templomból: és mindjárt bezáratának az ajtók.
[People] throughout [MTY] the city heard that there was trouble [at the Temple courtyard], and they came running there. They grabbed Paul and dragged him outside of the Temple [area]. The gates [to the Temple courtyard were shut] {[The Temple guards] shut the doors [to the Temple courts]} immediately, [so that the people would not riot inside the Temple area].
31 Mikor pedig meg akarák őt ölni, feljuta a hír a sereg ezredeséhez, hogy az egész Jeruzsálem felzendült.
While they were trying to kill Paul, someone [ran to the fort near the Temple] and told the Roman commander that many [HYP] people [MTY] in Jerusalem were rioting [at the Temple].
32 Ki azonnal vitézeket és századosokat vévén maga mellé, lefutott hozzájok. Azok pedig mikor meglátták az ezredest és a vitézeket, megszűnének Pált verni.
The commander quickly took some officers and [a large group of] soldiers and ran to [the Temple area where] the crowd was. When the crowd of people [who were yelling and beating Paul] saw the commander and the soldiers [coming], they stopped beating him.
33 Akkor odaérvén az ezredes, elfogatá őt, és parancsolá, hogy kötözzék meg két lánczczal; és tudakozá, hogy kicsoda és mit cselekedett.
The commander came to [where Paul was and] seized him. He [commanded soldiers] to fasten a chain to [each of] Paul’s [arms]. Then he asked [the people in the crowd], “Who is this man, and what has he done?”
34 De ki egyet, ki mást kiált vala a sokaság között; és mikor nem értheté meg a bizonyos valóságot a zajongás miatt, parancsolá, hogy vigyék el őt a várba.
Some of the many people there were shouting one thing, [and] some were shouting something else. Because they continued shouting so loudly, the commander could not understand [what they were shouting. So] he [commanded] that Paul be taken {[the soldiers] to take Paul} into the barracks [so that he could question him there].
35 Mikor pedig a lépcsőkhöz jutott, lőn, hogy úgy vivék őt a vitézek a néptömeg erőszaktétele miatt;
[The soldiers] led Paul to the steps [of the barracks], but many people continued to follow them, trying to kill [Paul. So the commander told] the soldiers to carry Paul [up the steps into the barracks].
36 Mert követi vala a népnek sokasága, kiáltozva: Öld meg őt!
The crowd that followed kept shouting, “Kill him! Kill him!”
37 És mikor immár a várba akarák bevinni Pált, monda az ezredesnek: Vajjon szabad-e nékem valamit szólanom te hozzád? Az pedig monda: Tudsz görögül?
As Paul was about to be taken {[the soldiers] were about to take Paul} into the barracks, he said [in Greek] to the commander, “May I speak to you?” The commander said, “(I am surprised that you can speak the Greek [language]!/Can you [(sg)] speak the Greek [language]?)” [RHQ]
38 Hát nem te vagy az az egyiptomi, ki e napoknak előtte fellázította és kivitte a pusztába azt a négyezer orgyilkos férfiút?
“(I [thought] that you [(sg)] were that fellow/Are you not that fellow) from Egypt [RHQ] who wanted to rebel [against the government not long ago], and who took 4,000 violent terrorists [with him] out into the desert, [so that we could not catch him]?”
39 Monda pedig Pál: Én ugyan tárzusi zsidó ember vagyok, Cziliczia nem ismeretlen városának polgára; de kérlek téged, engedd meg nékem, hogy szóljak a néphez.
Paul answered, “[No, I am not!] I am a Jew. I [was born] in Tarsus, which is an important [LIT] city in Cilicia [province]. I ask that you [(sg)] let me speak to the people.”
40 Mikor aztán az megengedte, Pál a lépcsőkön állva intett kezével a népnek: és mikor nagy csendesség lőn, megszólala zsidó nyelven, mondván:
Then the commander permitted Paul [to speak. So] Paul stood on the steps and motioned with his hand [for the crowd to be quiet. And after] the people in the crowd became quiet, Paul spoke to them in [their own] Hebrew language [MTY].
