Apostolok 21
1 Amint pedig, tőlük elszakadva, elindultunk, egyenesen haladva Kószba érkeztünk, másnap pedig Rodoszba, és onnan 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 Amikor pedig találtunk egy hajót, mely Föníciába ment át, abba beültünk, és elhajóztunk.
[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 Miután megláttuk Ciprust, és elhagytuk balkéz felől, Szíriába eveztünk, és Tíruszban kötöttünk ki, mert a hajó ott rakta 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 Ott maradtunk hét napig, miután megtaláltuk a tanítványokat, akik a Lélek által mondták Pálnak, 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, és elindultunk, hogy elutazzunk, mindnyájan feleségestől, gyermekestől egészen a városon kívülre kísértek bennünket, és a tenger partján térdre esve imádkoztunk.
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 Ezután egymástól elbúcsúztunk, beültünk a hajóba, ők pedig visszatértek 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 befejezve, Tíruszból eljutottunk Ptolemaiszba. Köszöntöttük az atyafiakat, és náluk maradtunk 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 elment Pál és mi, akik vele voltunk, s Cezáreába érkeztünk, és bementünk Fülöp evangélista házába, aki ama hét közül való volt, és nála maradtunk.
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 Neki pedig volt négy szűz leánya, akik prófétáltak.
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 maradtunk, eljött egy Júdeából való próféta, név szerint Agabosz.
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 Mikor odajött hozzánk, elvette Pálnak az övét, megkötözte kezeit és lábait, s ezt mondta: „Ezt mondja a Szentlélek: A férfiút, akié ez az öv, ekképpen kötözik meg a zsidók Jeruzsálemben, és adják a pogányok 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 Amikor pedig ezeket hallottuk, kértük, mind mi, mind az odavalósiak, 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 így felelt: „Miért sírtok, és keserítitek a szívemet? 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 pedig nem engedett, megnyugodtunk és azt mondtuk: „Legyen meg az Úr akarata!“
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 Ezek után a napok után pedig felkészültünk, és felmentünk Jeruzsálembe.
After those days [in Caesarea], we [(exc)] prepared [our things] and [left to] go [by land] up to Jerusalem.
16 A tanítványok közül is jöttek velünk együtt Cézáreából, akik elvezettek egy bizonyos ciprusi Mnázónhoz, egy régi tanítványhoz, hogy nála szálljunk meg.
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 azután megérkeztünk Jeruzsálembe, örömmel fogadtak minket az atyafiak.
When we arrived in Jerusalem, [a group of] the believers greeted us happily.
18 Másnap pedig Pál velünk együtt bement Jakabhoz, ahol a vének is mindnyájan ott voltak.
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 Köszöntötte őket, majd sorjában elbeszélte, amiket 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 hallgatva, dicsőítették az Urat, és ezt mondták neki: „Látod, atyámfia, milyen sok ezren vannak zsidók, akik hívőkké lettek, pedig mindnyájan buzgón tartják a törvényt.
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, akik a pogányok között vannak, Mózestől való elszakadásra tanítod, azt mondva, 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 Mit tegyünk tehát? Mindenesetre sokan összegyűlnek, ha 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 Azt tedd tehát, amit mondunk neked: Van köztünk négy férfiú, akik fogadalmat tettek.
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 véve, tisztulj meg velük, költs rájuk, hogy megnyírják fejüket, hogy mindannyian megtudják, hogy semmi sincs azokban, amiket 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 határozva, hogy ők semmi ilyenfélét ne tartsanak meg, hanem csak tartsák távol magukat mind a bálványoknak áldozott hústól, mind a vértől, mind a megfulladt állattól, és 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 vette azokat a férfiakat, másnap velük megtisztult, bement a templomba, és bejelentette a tisztulás napjainak elteltét, amikor mindegyikükért bemutatják az áldozatot.
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 Amikor pedig a hét nap már eltelőben volt, az Ázsiából való zsidók, meglátták őt a templomban, fellázították az egész sokaságot és rávetették kezüket,
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 ezt kiáltva: „Izraelita férfiak, segítsetek! Ez az az ember, aki a nép ellen, a törvény ellen és e hely ellen tanít mindenkit mindenütt; ezen felül még görögöket is hozott be a templomba, és megfertőztette ezt a szent helyet.“
29 Mert látták vele korábban az efezusi Trofimoszt a városban, akiről azt vélték, hogy Pál bevitte a templomba.
30 Az egész város megmozdult, és a nép összecsődült, Pált megragadták, kivonszolták a templomból, és azonnal bezárták az ajtókat.
[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 Amikor pedig meg akarták ölni, eljutott 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 Ő azonnal vitézeket és századosokat vett maga mellé, lefutott hozzájuk. Amikor pedig meglátták az ezredest és a vitézeket, abbahagyták Pál verését.
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 odaért az ezredes, elfogatta őt, és megparancsolta, hogy kötözzék meg két lánccal, majd kérdezősködött, hogy kicsoda ez, és mit követett el.
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 ezt, ki azt kiáltotta a sokaságból, és miután nem érthette meg a bizonyos valóságot a zajongás miatt, megparancsolta, hogy vigyék el 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 Amikor pedig a lépcsőkhöz jutott, a vitézeknek vinniük kellett őt a nép erőszakossága 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 az egész sokaság követte őket, és kiáltozott: „Öld meg őt!“
The crowd that followed kept shouting, “Kill him! Kill him!”
37 Amikor pedig már a várba akarták bevinni Pált, ezt mondta az ezredesnek: „Szabad-e valamit mondanom neked?“Az pedig ezt mondta: „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, aki néhány nappal ezelőtt 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 Pál pedig ezt mondta: „Én ugyan tarzuszi zsidó ember vagyok, Cilicia nem ismeretlen városának polgára, de kérlek téged, engedd meg nekem, 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 Amikor aztán megengedte, Pál a lépcsőkön állva intett kezével a népnek, és mikor nagy csend lett, megszólalt zsidó nyelven:
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].
