¹And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

¹Aga Saulus, kes ikka veel paiskas tapmisähvardusi Issanda jüngrite vastu, läks ülempreestri juurde

²And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.

²ning palus temalt kirja Damaskuse sünagoogidele, et kui ta iial peaks leidma mõne usuteel käijaist, olgu mehi või naisi, võiks neid aheldatult tuua Jeruusalemma.

³And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:

³Kui ta oli sinna minemas ja lähenes Damaskusele, välgatas äkitselt taevast tema ümber valgus

⁴And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

⁴ja ta kukkus maa peale maha ja kuulis üht häält, mis talle ütles: 'Saul, Saul, miks sa mind taga kiusad?'

⁵And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

⁵Aga tema ütles: 'Isand, kes sa oled?' Ja hääl vastas: 'Mina olen Jeesus, keda sa taga kiusad.

⁶And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

⁶Kuid tõuse püsti ja mine linna, seal öeldakse sulle, mida sa pead tegema.'

⁷And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.

⁷Mehed, kes temaga koos käisid teed, seisid sõnatult; nad kuulsid küll häält, ei näinud aga kedagi.

⁸And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

⁸Aga Saulus tõusis maast üles, ja oma silmi avades ei näinud midagi. Ning ta viidi kättpidi talutades Damaskusesse.

⁹And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.

⁹Ja kolm päeva oli ta pime, ei söönud ega joonud.

¹⁰And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.

¹⁰Ent Damaskuses oli üks jünger, Hananias nimi, ja Issand ütles temale nägemuses: 'Hananias!' Tema vastas: 'Issand, vaata, siin ma olen!'

¹¹And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,

¹¹Issand ütles talle: 'Tõuse ja mine tänavale, mida kutsutakse Sirgeks, ja otsi Juuda kojas üles Tarsosest pärit Sauluse-nimeline mees, sest vaata, tema palvetab

¹²And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.

¹²ja on nägemuses näinud üht meest, Hananias nimi, sisse astuvat ja käed tema peale panevat, et ta nägemise tagasi saaks.'

¹³Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:

¹³Hananias aga vastas: 'Issand, ma olen paljudelt kuulnud sellest mehest, kui palju kurja ta on teinud sinu pühadele Jeruusalemmas,

¹⁴And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.

¹⁴ja siingi on tal ülempreestrite käest meelevald aheldada kõiki, kes sinu nime appi hüüavad.'

¹⁵But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

¹⁵Aga Issand ütles talle: 'Mine, sest tema on mul valitud tööriist minu nime kandma rahvaste ja kuningate ja Iisraeli laste ette,

¹⁶For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.

¹⁶sest mina tahan talle näidata, mida kõike ta peab kannatama minu nime pärast.'

¹⁷And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.

¹⁷Siis Hananias läks ja astus sisse sinna kotta ja, pannud oma käed Sauluse peale, ütles: 'Saul, vend, Issand on mu läkitanud - Jeesus, kes end sulle näitas teel, mida mööda sa tulid, et sa jälle näeksid ja saaksid täis Püha Vaimu.'

¹⁸And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

¹⁸Ja kohe langes Sauluse silmadelt otsekui soomuseid ja ta nägi jälle. Ta tõusis püsti ja laskis enese ristida.

¹⁹And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.

¹⁹Ja kui ta oli toitu võtnud, sai ta tagasi oma jõu.Saulus oli siis mõned päevad Damaskuses jüngrite juures

²⁰And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.

²⁰ning hakkas üsna varsti kuulutama sünagoogides Jeesusest, et see on Jumala Poeg.

²¹But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?

²¹Aga kõik kuulajad jahmusid ning ütlesid: 'Eks tema ole seesama, kes Jeruusalemmas hävitas selle nime appihüüdjaid ja kes on siia tulnud selleks, et neid viia aheldatult ülempreestrite juurde?'

²²But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.

²²Saulus läks aga järjest vägevamaks ja ajas segadusse Damaskuses elavad juudid ning selgitas, et Jeesus ongi Messias.

²³And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:

²³Kui juba üsna hulk päevi oli möödunud, võtsid juudid nõuks ta hukata.

²⁴But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.

²⁴Aga Saulusele sai nende salasepitsus teatavaks. Nemad luurasid aga päevad ja ööd väravais, et teda hukata.

²⁵Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.

²⁵Kuid ühel ööl ta õpilased võtsid ja lasksid ta korvi sees müüriava kaudu alla.

²⁶And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.

²⁶Jõudnud Jeruusalemma, püüdis Saulus jüngritega liituda, ent kõik kartsid teda ega uskunud, et ta on jünger.

²⁷But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.

²⁷Aga Barnabas võttis Sauluse oma hoolde ja viis ta apostlite juurde ning jutustas neile, kuidas Saulus teel oli näinud Issandat ning temaga kõnelnud ja kuidas ta oli Damaskuses avalikult Jeesuse nimel kuulutanud.

²⁸And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.

²⁸Ja Saulus käis nende juures Jeruusalemmas sisse ja välja ning kuulutas avalikult rõõmusõnumit Issanda nimel.

²⁹And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.

²⁹Ta rääkis ja vaidles ka kreekakeelsete juutidega, aga need võtsid nõuks ta hukata.

³⁰Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.

³⁰Ent kui vennad seda teada said, viisid nad ta alla Kaisareasse ja läkitasid Tarsosesse.

³¹Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.

³¹Nüüd oli kogudusel tervel Juuda-, Galilea- ja Samaariamaal rahu end üles ehitada ja käia Issanda kartuses, ja see üha kasvas Püha Vaimu julgustusel.

³²And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.

³²Aga sündis, et Peetrus kõiki paiku läbi käies tuli ka Lüddas elavate pühade juurde.

³³And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.

³³Seal leidis ta ühe inimese, Aineas nimi, kes oli olnud halvatuna voodis maas juba kaheksa aastat.

³⁴And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.

³⁴Ja Peetrus ütles talle: 'Aineas! Jeesus Kristus teeb su terveks. Tõuse ja sea oma ase korda!' Ja Aineas tõusis kohe.

³⁵And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.

³⁵Ja kõik Lüdda ja Saaroni elanikud nägid teda ja pöördusid Issanda poole.

³⁶Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.

³⁶Aga Joppes oli naisjünger nimega Tabiita, see on tõlkes Gasell. Tema elu oli täis häid tegusid ja ta jagas palju almuseid.

³⁷And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.

³⁷Aga neil päevil juhtus, et ta jäi haigeks ja suri. Ta pesti ja pandi ülemisse tuppa.

³⁸And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.

³⁸Et aga Lüdda on Joppe lähedal, siis jüngrid, kuuldes, et Peetrus on seal, läkitasid kaks meest tema juurde palvega: 'Ära viivita meie juurde tulekuga!'

³⁹Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.

³⁹Peetrus tõusiski ja läks nendega. Kui ta pärale jõudis, viidi ta ülemisse tuppa ja kõik lesknaised tulid tema juurde, nutsid ja näitasid särke ja kuubesid, mida Gasell nendega olles oli teinud.

⁴⁰But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

⁴⁰Aga Peetrus ajas kõik välja, heitis põlvili ja palvetas ning pöördus ja ütles surnukehale: 'Tabiita, tõuse püsti!' Tema avas oma silmad ja tõusis Peetrust nähes istuma.

⁴¹And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.

⁴¹Aga Peetrus andis talle käe ja tõstis ta püsti, hüüdis sisse pühad ja lesknaised ning seadis Tabiita elavalt nende ette.

⁴²And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.

⁴²Aga see sai teatavaks kogu Joppes, ja paljud hakkasid uskuma Issandasse.

⁴³And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.

⁴³Ja Peetrus jäi mitmeks päevaks Joppesse ühe nahkuri Siimona juurde.
