¹And Saul, yet breathing of threatening and slaughter to the disciples of the Lord, having gone to the chief priest,

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

²did ask from him letters to Damascus, unto the synagogues, that if he may find any being of the way, both men and women, he may bring them bound to 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 in the going, he came nigh to Damascus, and suddenly there shone round about him a light from the heaven,

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

⁴and having fallen upon the earth, he heard a voice saying to him, `Saul, Saul, why me dost thou persecute?`

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 dost persecute; hard for thee at the pricks to kick;`

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

⁶trembling also, and astonished, he said, `Lord, what dost thou wish me to do?` and the Lord [said] unto him, `Arise, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what it behoveth thee to do.`

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

⁷And the men who are journeying with him stood speechless, hearing indeed the voice but seeing no one,

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

⁸and Saul arose from the earth, and his eyes having been opened, he beheld no one, and leading him by the hand they brought him to 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 seeing, and he did neither eat nor drink.

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

¹⁰And there was a certain disciple in Damascus, by name Ananias, and the Lord said unto him in a vision, `Ananias;` and he said, `Behold me, Lord;`

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

¹¹and the Lord [saith] unto him, `Having risen, go on unto the street that is called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas, [one] by name Saul of Tarsus, for, lo, he doth pray,

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 he saw in a vision a man, by name Ananias, coming in, and putting a hand on him, that he may see again.`

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

¹³And Ananias answered, `Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how many evils he did to Thy saints in 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 those calling on Thy name.`

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

¹⁵And the Lord said unto him, `Be going on, because a choice vessel to Me is this one, to bear My name before nations and kings — the sons also 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 many things it behoveth him for My name to suffer.`

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

¹⁷And Ananias went away, and did enter into the house, and having put upon him [his] hands, said, `Saul, brother, the Lord hath sent me — Jesus who did appear to thee in the way in which thou wast coming — that thou mayest see again, and mayest be filled with the Holy Spirit.`

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 were scales, he saw again also presently, and having risen, was baptized,

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

¹⁹and having received nourishment, was strengthened, and Saul was with the disciples in Damascus certain days,

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

²⁰and immediately in the synagogues he was preaching the Christ, that he is the Son of God.

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

²¹And all those hearing were amazed, and said, `Is not this he who laid waist in Jerusalem those calling on this name, and hither to this intent had come, that he might bring them bound to 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?'

²²And Saul was still more strengthened, and he was confounding the Jews dwelling in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.

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

²³And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him,

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

²⁴and their counsel against [him] was known to Saul; they were also watching the gates both day and night, that they may kill him,

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

²⁵and the disciples having taken him, by night did let him down by the wall, letting down in a basket.

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

²⁶And Saul, having come to Jerusalem, did try to join himself to the disciples, and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he is a disciple,

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

²⁷and Barnabas having taken him, brought [him] unto the apostles, and did declare to them how in the way he saw the Lord, and that he spake to him, and how in Damascus he was speaking boldly 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 in Jerusalem,

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

²⁹and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, he was both speaking and disputing with the Hellenists, and they were taking in hand to kill him,

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

³⁰and the brethren having known, brought him down to Cesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.

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

³¹Then, indeed, the assemblies throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, had peace, being built up, and, going on in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they 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 that Peter passing throughout all [quarters], came down also unto the saints who were dwelling at Lydda,

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

³³and he found there a certain man, Aeneas by name — for eight years laid upon a couch — who was paralytic,

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

³⁴and Peter said to him, `Aeneas, heal thee doth Jesus the Christ; arise and spread for thyself;` and immediately he rose,

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

³⁵and all those dwelling at Lydda, and Saron saw him, and did turn to the Lord.

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

³⁶And in Joppa there was a certain female disciple, by name Tabitha, (which interpreted, is called Dorcas,) this woman was full of good works and kind acts that she was doing;

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 she, having ailed, died, and having bathed her, they laid her in an upper chamber,

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

³⁸and Lydda being nigh to Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter is in that [place], sent two men unto him, calling on him not to delay to come through unto 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!'

³⁹And Peter having risen, went with them, whom having come, they brought into the upper chamber, and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing coats and garments, as many as Dorcas was making 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.

⁴⁰And Peter having put them all forth without, having bowed the knees, did pray, and having turned unto the body said, `Tabitha, arise;` and she opened her eyes, and having seen 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 having given her [his] hand, he lifted her up, and having called the saints and the widows, he 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 became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord;

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

⁴³and it came to pass, that he remained many days in Joppa, with a certain one, Simon a tanner.

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