< Apostolok 3 >

1 Péter és János egyszer együtt mentek fel a templomba, a kilenc órai imádkozásra.
[One day] Peter and John were going to the Temple [courtyard]. It was three o’clock in the afternoon, which was the time when people prayed [there publicly].
2 Ekkor odahoztak egy embert, aki születésétől fogva sánta volt, és akit minden nap le szoktak tenni a templom kapujánál, melyet Ékesnek neveznek, hogy alamizsnát kérjen azoktól, akik bemennek a templomba.
There was a man there who had been lame from the time he was born. He [was sitting by] the gate called Beautiful [Gate], at the entrance to the Temple [area]. People put him there every day, so that he could ask those who were entering [or leaving] the temple courtyard to give him some money.
3 Amikor meglátta, hogy Péter és János a templomba akarnak bemenni, alamizsnát kért tőlük.
As Peter and John were about to enter [the Temple courtyard], the lame man saw them and asked them several times to give him some money. (OR, The lame man said to them several times, “Please give me some money!”)
4 Péter pedig rátekintett Jánossal együtt, és ezt mondta: „Nézz reánk!“
As Peter and John looked directly at him, Peter said to him, “Look at us!”
5 Ő pedig rájuk figyelt, remélve, hogy valamit kap tőlük.
So he looked directly at them, expecting to get some [money] from them.
6 Péter pedig ezt mondta: „Ezüstöm és aranyam nincsen nekem, hanem amim van, azt adom neked: a Názáreti Jézus Krisztus nevében, kelj fel és járj!“
Then Peter said to him, “I do not have any money [MTY], but what I [can do], I will [do] for you. Jesus Christ, [who was] from Nazareth [town], has authorized [MTY] me [to heal you! So get up and] walk!”
7 És jobb kezénél fogva felemelte őt, és azonnal megerősödtek a lábai és bokái,
Then Peter grasped the man’s right hand and helped him to stand up. Immediately the man’s feet and ankles became strong.
8 és felugorva megállt, és járt. Bement velük a templomba is, járkálva, és szökdelve, és dicsérte az Istent.
He jumped up and began to walk! Then he entered the Temple [area] with them, walking and leaping and praising God!
9 És látta az egész nép, hogy jár, és dicséri az Istent.
All the people [there] saw that man walking and praising God.
10 Megismerték, hogy ő volt az, aki alamizsnáért ült a templomnak Ékes kapujában, és megteltek csodálkozással, és álmélkodtak, hogy mi történt vele.
They recognized that he was the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate in the Temple [courtyard] and ask [people] for money! So all the people there were greatly amazed at what had happened to him.
11 Amikor pedig a sánta, aki meggyógyult ragaszkodott Péterhez és Jánoshoz, az egész nép álmélkodva futott hozzájuk a csarnokba, melyet Salamonénak neveztek.
As the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were so surprised [that they did not know what to think] So they ran to the two apostles at the place [in the Temple courtyard] that is called {that [people] call} Solomon’s Porch.
12 Amikor pedig ezt látta Péter, ezt mondta a népnek: „Izrael férfiai, miért csodálkoztok ezen, vagy miért néztek reánk, mintha tulajdon erőnkkel vagy jámborságunkkal műveltük volna azt, hogy járjon?
When Peter saw that, he said to the crowd, “Fellow Israelites, (you should not be surprised about what has happened to this man!/why are you so surprised about what has happened to this man?) [RHQ] And you should not stare at us, either! You seem to [RHQ] think that the two of us enabled this man to walk because we [(exc)] ourselves are powerful or because we please God very much!
13 Ábrahámnak, Izsáknak és Jákobnak Istene, a mi atyáinknak Istene megdicsőítette az ő Fiát, Jézust, akit ti elárultatok, és megtagadtatok Pilátus előtt, noha ő úgy ítélt, hogy elbocsátja.
[So I will tell you what is really happening]. Our ancestors, including Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, worshipped God. And now he has greatly honored Jesus, who always served him. Your [leaders] brought Jesus [to the governor, Pilate], so that [his soldiers would kill him]. And [God considers that] in front of Pilate you [were the ones who rejected] Jesus [as your king], after Pilate had decided that he should release Jesus.
14 Ti pedig azt a szentet és igazat megtagadtátok, és azt kívántátok, hogy a gyilkos embert bocsássa szabadon nektek,
[Although Jesus] always did what was right/just and good, you rejected him. [Pilate wanted to release him, but] you urgently asked Pilate to release (a murderer/someone who had killed people)!
15 az életnek fejedelmét pedig megöltétek, akit az Isten feltámasztott a halálból, aminek mi vagyunk tanúi.
[God considers that] you killed [Jesus], the one who gives people [eternal] life. But God has greatly honored him (by causing him to become alive again after he died/by raising him from the dead). Many of us saw [him after that, and now] we [(exc)] are telling [you] about it.
16 Az ő nevébe vetett hit, az ő neve erősítette meg ezt, akit láttok és ismertek, és a hit, mely ő általa van, adta neki ezt az ép egészséget mindannyiótok szeme láttára.
It is because [we two] trusted in what Jesus [MTY, PRS] [could do, that he] made this man, whom you see and know, strong again. Yes, it is because we [(exc)] trusted in Jesus that he has completely healed this man for all of you to see.”
17 De most, atyámfiai, tudom, hogy tudatlanságból cselekedtetek, amikképpen a ti elöljáróitok is.
“Now, my fellow-countrymen, I know that you and your leaders did that [to Jesus] because you [and they] did not know [that he was the Messiah].
18 Az Isten pedig, ekképpen töltötte be, amit előre megmondott prófétái által, hogy a Krisztus szenvedi fog.
However, [your putting him to death] was what God had predicted that people would do. [Long ago] he told all the prophets [MTY] to write [what people would do to the Messiah. They wrote] that the Messiah, whom God [would send], would suffer [and die].
19 Bánjátok meg azért, és térjetek meg, hogy eltöröltessenek a ti bűneitek, hogy így eljöjjön az Úrtól a felüdülés ideje,
So, turn away from your sinful behavior and ask God [to help you] do what pleases [him], in order that he may completely forgive you for your sins.
20 és elküldje a Jézus Krisztust, akit nektek előre hirdetett.
[If you do that], there will be times [when you will know that] the Lord [God is] helping [you]. And some day he will [again] send back [to earth] the Messiah, whom he appointed for you. That person is Jesus.
21 Akit az égnek kell magába fogadnia mind addig az időkig, míg újjá teremtetnek mindazok, amelyekről az Isten kezdettől fogva szólott szent prófétái által. (aiōn g165)
Jesus must stay in heaven until the time when God will cause all that he has created to become new. Long ago God promised [to do that, and] he chose holy prophets to tell [that to people]. (aiōn g165)
22 Mert Mózes ezt mondta az atyáknak: »Prófétát támaszt nektek az Úr, a ti Istenetek, atyátokfiai közül, mint engem: őt hallgassátok mindenben, amit csak szól nektek.
For [example, the prophet] Moses said [this about the Messiah]: ‘The Lord (your God/the God whom you [worship]) will cause someone to become a prophet to tell you [God’s message. God will send him] as [he sent] me, [and he will be] from among your own people. You must listen to everything that this prophet tells you [and obey him] [SYN].
23 Mindazokat pedig, akik nem hallgatnak arra a prófétára, ki fogják irtatni a nép közül.«
[Those who] do not listen to [that prophet and obey] him will no longer belong to God’s people, and [God] will get rid of them’.”
24 De a próféták is mindnyájan Sámueltől, és a következőktől fogva, akik csak szóltak, ezekről a napokról jövendöltek.
[Peter continued], “All the prophets have told [about what would happen during] the time [MTY] [in which we(inc) are living. Those prophets include] Samuel [and all the others who] later also spoke [about these events] before they happened.
25 Ti vagytok a prófétáknak és a szövetségnek fiai, melyet Isten szerzett a mi atyáinkkal, Ábrahámnak ígérve: A te magodban áldást nyer a földnek valamennyi nemzetsége.
You [as well as we(exc)] are the people [to whom God sent the Messiah, as] the prophets said [MTY] [that he would]. And when God strongly promised [to bless] our ancestors, he also surely promised to bless you. He said to Abraham [concerning the Messiah], ‘[I] will bless all people on the earth as a result of [what] your descendant [will do].’”
26 Az Isten az ő Fiát, Jézust első sorban nektek támasztotta fel, elküldte őt, hogy megáldjon titeket, mindegyikőtöket megtérítve bűneitekből.“
[Peter concluded], “[So] when God sent [to the earth] (Jesus, the one who always obeys him/his servant Jesus), he sent him first to you [Israelites] to bless you. [God will] enable you to stop doing what is wicked [and to start doing what pleases him].”
