¹А Савле још дишући претњом и смрћу на ученике Господње приступи к поглавару свештеничком,

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

²И измоли у њега посланице у Дамаск на зборнице, ако кога нађе од овог пута, и људе и жене свезане да доведе у Јерусалим.

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.

³А кад беше на путу и дође близу Дамаска, уједанпут обасја га светлост с неба,

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

⁴И паднувши на земљу чу глас где му говори: Савле! Савле! Зашто ме гониш?

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

⁵А он рече: Ко си Ти, Господе? А Господ рече: Ја сам Исус, ког ти гониш: тешко ти је противу бодила праћати се.

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.

⁶А он дрхћући од страха рече: Господе! Шта хоћеш да чиним? И Господ му рече: Устани и уђи у град, па ће ти се казати шта ти треба чинити.

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.

⁷А људи који иђаху с њим стајаху и чуђаху се, јер чујаху глас а не виђаху никога.

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

⁸А Савле уста од земље, и отвореним очима својим никога не виђаше. А они га узеше за руку и уведоше у Дамаск.

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.

⁹И беше три дана слеп, и не једе, нити пи.

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

¹⁰А у Дамаску беше један ученик, по имену Ананија, и рече му Господ у утвари: Ананија! А он рече: Ево ме, Господе!

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.

¹¹А Господ му рече: Устани и иди у улицу која се зове Права, и тражи у дому Јудином по имену Савла Таршанина; јер гле, он се моли Богу,

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,

¹²И виде у утвари човека, по имену Ананију, где уђе и метну руку на њ да прогледа.

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

¹³А Ананија одговори: Господе! Ја чух од многих за тог човека колика зла почини светима Твојим у Јерусалиму;

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

¹⁴И овде има власт од главара свештеничких да веже све који призивају име Твоје.

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

¹⁵А Господ му рече: Иди, јер ми је он суд избрани да изнесе име моје пред незнабошце и цареве и синове Израиљеве.

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:

¹⁶А ја ћу му показати колико му ваља пострадати за име моје.

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

¹⁷И пође Ананија, и уђе у кућу, и метнувши руке на њ рече: Савле, брате! Господ Исус, који ти се јави на путу којим си ишао, посла ме да прогледаш и да се напуниш Духа Светог.

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.

¹⁸И одмах отпаде од очију његових као крљушт, и одмах прогледа, и уставши крсти се.

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

¹⁹И пошто поједе окрепи се; и би Савле неколико дана с ученицима који беху у Дамаску.

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

²⁰И одмах по зборницама проповедаше Исуса да је Он Син Божји.

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

²¹А сви који слушаху дивљаху се и говораху: Није ли ово онај што гоњаше у Јерусалиму оне који спомињаху име ово, и овде зато дође да их повезане води главарима свештеничким.

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?

²²А Савле се већма сиљаше и забуњиваше Јевреје који живе у Дамаску, доказујући да је ово Христос.

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

²³А кад се наврши подоста дана, договорише се Јевреји да га убију.

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

²⁴Али Савле дознаде њихов договор; а они чуваху врата дан и ноћ да би га убили;

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

²⁵А ученици га узеше ноћу и спустише преко зида у котарици.

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

²⁶А кад дође Савле у Јерусалим, огледаше да се прибије уз ученике; и сви га се бојаху, јер не вероваху да је ученик.

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.

²⁷А Варнава га узе и доведе к апостолима, и каза им како на путу виде Господа, и како му говори, и како у Дамаску слободно проповеда име Исусово.

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.

²⁸И беше с њима и улази у Јерусалим и излази и слободно проповедаше име Господа Исуса.

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

²⁹И говораше и препираше се с Грцима, а они гледаху да га убију.

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

³⁰А кад разумеше браћа, сведоше га у Ћесарију, и отпустише га у Тарс.

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

³¹А цркве по свој Јудеји и Галилеји и Самарији беху на миру, и напредоваху, и хођаху у страху Господњем, и умножаваху се утехом Светог Духа.

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.

³²И догоди се кад Петар обилажаше све, да дође и к светима који живљаху у Лиди.

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

³³И нађе тамо једног човека по имену Енеју, који већ осам година лежаше на одру, јер беше узет.

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

³⁴И рече му Петар: Енеја! Исцељује те Исус Христос, устани и простри сам себи. И одмах уста.

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

³⁵И видеше га сви који живљаху у Лиди и у Асарону, и обратише се ка Господу.

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

³⁶А у Јопи беше једна ученица по имену Тавита, које значи срна, и она беше пуна добрих дела и милостиње што чињаше.

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.

³⁷И догоди се у те дане да се она разболе и умре; онда је окупаше и метнуше у горњу собу.

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.

³⁸А будући да је Лида близу Јопе, онда ученици чувши да је Петар у њој послаше два човека молећи га да не пожали труда доћи до њих.

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.

³⁹А Петар уставши отиде с њима, и кад дође, изведоше га у горњу собу и скупише се око њега све удовице плачући и показујући сукње и хаљине што је радила Срна док је била с њима.

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.

⁴⁰А Петар изгнавши све напоље клече на колена и помоли се Богу, и окренувши се к телу рече: Тавито! Устани. А она отвори очи своје, и видевши Петра седе.

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.

⁴¹Петар пак пруживши јој руку подиже је; и дозвавши свете и удовице показа је живу.

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

⁴²И ово се разгласи по свој Јопи, и многи вероваше Господа.

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

⁴³И догоди се да он оста много дана у Јопи у неког Симона кожара.

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