Mga Gawa 9
1 Subalit si Saulo na patuloy pa rin na nagsasalita ng mga banta at pagpatay laban sa mga alagad ng Panginoon ay nagtungo sa mga pinakapunong pari
But Saul, still burning with desire to put to death the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
2 at humingi sa kaniya ng mga sulat para sa mga sinagoga sa Damasco, upang kung may makita siyang sinumang kabilang sa Daan, maging lalaki o babae, ay maari niyang dalhin na nakagapos sa Jerusalem.
And made a request for letters from him to the Synagogues of Damascus, so that if there were any of the Way there, men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
3 Habang siya ay naglalakbay, nangyari nga na nang malapit na siya sa Damasco, biglang may nagningning na liwanag mula sa langit sa buong paligid;
And while he was journeying, he came near Damascus; and suddenly he saw a light from heaven shining round him;
4 at siya ay natumba sa lupa at narinig niya ang isang tinig na nagsasabi sa kanyang, “Saulo, Saulo, bakit mo ako inuusig?”
And he went down on the earth, and a voice said to him, Saul, Saul, why are you attacking me so cruelly?
5 Sumagot si Saulo, “Sino kayo Panginoon? “Sumagot ang Panginoon, “Ako si Jesus na iyong inuusig;
And he said, Who are you, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus, whom you are attacking:
6 ngunit bumangon ka, pumasok ka sa lungsod, at sasabihin saiyo kung ano ang dapat mong gawin.”
But get up, and go into the town, and it will be made clear to you what you have to do.
7 Ang mga lalaking kasama ni Saulo sa paglalakbay ay hindi nakapagsalita, naririnig ang tinig, ngunit walang nakikita.
And the men who were with him were not able to say anything; hearing the voice, but seeing no one.
8 Tumayo si Saulo sa lupa, at nang imulat niya ang kaniyang mga mata, wala na siyang nakita kaya inakay siya at dinala sa Damasco.
And Saul got up from the earth, and when his eyes were open, he saw nothing; and he was guided by the hand into Damascus.
9 Hindi siya nakakita sa loob ng tatlongaraw at hindi kumain ni uminom.
And for three days he was not able to see, and he took no food or drink.
10 Ngayon may isang alagad sa Damasco na ang pangalan ay Ananias; at ang Panginoon ay nangusap sa kaniya sa pamaamgitan ng isang pangitain, “Ananias” At sinabi niya, “Tingnan mo, narito ako, Panginoon.”
Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias! and he said, Here I am, Lord.
11 Sinabi ng Panginoon sa kaniya,”Tumayo ka, at pumunta ka sa kalye na kung tawagin ay Matuwid, at tanungin mo sa tahanan ni Judas ang lalaking galing sa Tarsus na ang pangalan ay Saulo; sapagkat siya ay nananalangin;
And the Lord said to him, Get up, and go to the street which is named Straight, and make search at the house of Judas for one named Saul of Tarsus: for he is at prayer;
12 at nakita niya sa pangitain ang lalaking nagngangalang Ananias na dumarating at nagpapatong ng kamay nito sa kaniya, upang siya ay makakita.”
And he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hands on him, so that he may be able to see.
13 Ngunit sumagot si Ananias,”Panginoon, narinig ko sa marami ang tungkol sa taong ito, kung paano niya ginawan ng masama ang mga banal mong mga tao sa Jerusalem.
But Ananias said, Lord, I have had accounts of this man from a number of people, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem:
14 Siya ay may kapangyarihan mula sa mga pinakapunong pari upang dakpin ang lahat na tumatawag sa inyong pangalan.”
And here he has authority from the chief priests to make prisoners all who give worship to your name.
15 Ngunit sinabi ng Panginoon sa kaniya,” Pumunta, ka sapagkat siya ay sisidlang hirang sa akin, upang dalhin ang aking pangalan sa mga Hentil at sa mga hari at sa lahat ng anak ng Israel;
But the Lord said, Go without fear: for he is a special vessel for me, to give to the Gentiles and kings and to the children of Israel the knowledge of my name:
16 sapagkat ipapakita ko sa kaniya kung gaano siya dapat magtiis para sa aking pangalan.”
For I will make clear to him what troubles he will have to undergo for me.
17 Kaya umalis si Ananias, at pumasok sa tahanan. Ipinatong nito ang kaniyang kamay sa kaniya at sinabi, “Kapatid na Saulo, ang Panginoon Jesus, na siyang nagpakita sa iyo sa daan nang papunta ka rito, ay sinugo ako upang ikaw ay makakita at mapuspos ng Banal na Espiritu.”
And Ananias went out and came to the house, and putting his hands on him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, whom you saw when you were on your journey, has sent me, so that you may be able to see, and be full of the Holy Spirit.
18 Kaagad may isang bagay na parang kaliskis ang nahulog mula sa mga mata ni Saulo, at bumalik ang kaniyang paningin; Tumayo siya at nabautismuhan;
And straight away it seemed as if a veil was taken from his eyes, and he was able to see; and he got up, and had baptism;
19 at siya ay kumain at lumakas. Nanatili siya kasama ng mga alagad sa Damasco ng ilang mga araw.
And when he had taken food his strength came back. And for some days he kept with the disciples who were in Damascus.
20 Kaagad ay ipinahayag niya si Jesus sa mga sinagoga, sinasasabing siya ang Anak ng Diyos.
And straight away, in the Synagogues, he was preaching Jesus as the Son of God.
21 lahat ng nakarinig sa kaniya ay namangha at sinabi. “Hindi ba ito ang taong lumipol sa mga taga-Jerusalem na tumatawag sa pangalang ito? At siya ay naparito upang dalhin sila na nakagapos sa mga punong pari.”
And all those hearing him were full of wonder and said, Is not this the man who in Jerusalem was attacking all the worshippers of this name? and he had come here so that he might take them as prisoners before the chief priests.
22 Ngunit si Saulo ay lalong napalakas upang mangaral at nalito ang mga Judio na naninirahan sa Damasco sa pagpapatunay na si Jesus ay ang Cristo.
But Saul went on increasing in power, and the Jews in Damascus were not able to give answers to the arguments by which he made it clear that Jesus was the Christ.
23 Pagkalipas ng maraming araw, sama-samang nagplano ang mga Judio upang siya ay patayin.
Then, after some days, the Jews made an agreement together to put him to death:
24 Ngunit nalaman ni Saulo ang kanilang plano. Nagbantay sila sa pintuang bayan araw at gabi upang siya ay patayin.
But Saul got knowledge of their design. And they kept watch day and night on the roads out of the town, so that they might put him to death:
25 Subalit nang gabi ay kinuha siya ng kaniyang mga alagad at binaba siya sa pader sa pamamagitan ng isang basket.
But his disciples took him by night and let him down from the wall in a basket.
26 Nang dumating siya sa Jerusalem, nagtangkang sumama si Saulo sa mga alagad, subalit natakot silang lahat sa kaniya, hindi sila naniniwalang siya ay isang alagad.
And when he came to Jerusalem, he made an attempt to be joined to the disciples, but they were all in fear of him, not taking him for a disciple.
27 Ngunit isinama siya ni Bernabe at ipinakilala sa mga alagad. At sinabi niya sa kanila kung paanoni Saulo nakita ang Panginoon sa daan at ang Panginoon ay nangusap sa kaniya, at kung paano buong tapang na nangaral sa Damasco si Saulo sa pangalan ni Jesus.
But Barnabas took him to the Apostles and gave them an account of how he had seen the Lord on the road, and had given hearing to his words, and how at Damascus he had been preaching in the name of Jesus without fear.
28 Nakipagkita siya sa kanila habang sila ay pumapasok at lumalabas ng Jerusalem. Nagsalita siya ng may katapangan sa pangalan ng Panginoong Jesus
And he was with them, going in and out at Jerusalem,
29 at nakipagtalo sa mga Helenista; ngunit sinubukan parin nila siyang patayin.
Preaching in the name of the Lord without fear; and he had discussions with the Greek Jews; but they were working for his death.
30 Nang malaman ito ng mga kapatiran, siya ay dinala nila pababa sa Cesarea at ipinadala siya patungo sa Tarso.
And when the brothers had knowledge of it, they took him to Caesarea and sent him to Tarsus.
31 Kaya ang iglesia sa buong Judea, Galilea, at Samaria ay nagkaroon ng kapayapaan at ito ay lumago at lumalakad ng may takot sa Panginoon sa tulong ng Banal na Espiritu, ang iglesia ay lumago sa bilang.
And so the church through all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was made strong; and, living in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, was increased greatly.
32 Ngayon nangyari nga na habang si Pedro ay pumupunta sa buong rehiyon, pumunta din siya sa mga mananampalataya na naninirahan sa bayan ng Lydda.
And it came about that while Peter was going through all parts of the country he came to the saints who were living at Lydda.
33 Doon ay nakita niya ang isang lalaki na ang pangalan ay Eneas, na nakaratay sa kaniyang higaan ng halos walong taon, sapagkat siya ay paralitiko
And there was a certain man there, named Aeneas, who for eight years had been in bed, without power of moving.
34 Sinabi ni Pedro sa kaniya, “Eneas, si Jesu-Cristo ang nagpagaling saiyo. Tumayo ka at ayusin mo ang iyong higaan.” At agad siyang tumayo.
And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ makes you well: get up and make your bed. And straight away he got up.
35 Kaya lahat ng nakakita sa Lida at Saron ay nakita ang lalaki at nagbalik loob sila sa Panginoon.
And all those living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and were turned to the Lord.
36 Ngayon mayroon alagad sa Joppa na ang pangalan ay Tabitha, na kung isasalin ay “Dorcas.” Ang babaeng ito ay puno ng mga mabubuti at maawaing gawa, na ginagawa niya para sa mahihirap.
Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, that is, Dorcas: this woman was given to good works and acts of mercy at all times.
37 At nangyari nga sa mga araw na iyon na siya ay nagkasakit at namatay; nang siya ay kanilang hugasan, pinahiga siya sa kuwarto sa itaas.
And it came about, in those days, that she got ill and came to her death: and when she had been washed, they put her in a room which was high up.
38 Dahil malapit ang Lida sa Joppa, at narinig ng mga alagad na naroon si Pedro, nagsugo sila ng dalawang lalaki at pumunta sa kaniya, nagmamakaawa na sinabi sa kaniyang, “Sumama ka sa amin agad”.
And because Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having knowledge that Peter was there, sent two men to him, requesting him to come to them straight away.
39 Tumayo si Pedro at sumama sa kanila. Nang dumating siya, dinala nila siya sa kuwarto sa itaas, at ang lahat ng mga balo ay nakatayo sa paligid niya na nananangis, ipinapakita sa kaniya ang mga balabal at mga damit na ginawa ni Dorcas habang kasama pa nila siya.
And Peter went with them. And when he had come, they took him into the room: and all the widows were there, weeping and putting before him the coats and clothing which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
40 Pinalabas silang lahat ni Pedro sa silid, lumuhod siya at nanalangin; at humarap siya sa katawan at sinabi niya. “Tabitha, bumangon ka.” Minulat niya ang kaniyang mga mata, at nang makita niya si Pedro siya ay umupo.
But Peter made them all go outside, and went down on his knees in prayer; and turning to the body, he said, Tabitha, get up. And, opening her eyes, she saw Peter and got up.
41 Pagkatapos iniabot ni Pedro ang kaniyang kamay at ibinangon siya; at nang tawagin niya ang mga mananampalataya at mga balo ay iniharap niya siya sa kanila na buhay.
And he took her hand, lifting her up; and, sending for the saints and widows, he gave her to them, living.
42 Nalaman ang pangyayaring ito sa buong Joppa, at maraming mga tao ang nanampalataya sa Panginoon.
And news of it went all through Joppa, and a number of people had faith in the Lord.
43 Nangyari nga na nanatili si Pedro ng maraming araw sa Joppa kasama ang lalaki na ang pangalan ay Simon, na tagapagbilad ng balat ng hayop
And he was living in Joppa for some time with Simon, a leather-worker.
