Berean Standard Bible
1ο δε σαυλοσ ετι εμπνεων απειλησ και φονου εισ τουσ μαθητασ του κυριου προσελθων τω αρχιερει
1Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the disciples of the Lord. He approached the high priest
2ητησατο παρ αυτου επιστολασ εισ δαμασκον προσ τασ συναγωγασ οπωσ εαν τινασ ευρη τησ οδου οντασ ανδρασ τε και γυναικασ δεδεμενουσ αγαγη εισ ιερουσαλημ
2and requested letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any men or women belonging to the Way, he could bring them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
3εν δε τω πορευεσθαι εγενετο αυτον εγγιζειν τη δαμασκω και εξαιφνησ περιηστραψεν αυτον φωσ απο του ουρανου
3As Saul drew near to Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.
4και πεσων επι την γην ηκουσεν φωνην λεγουσαν αυτω σαουλ σαουλ τι με διωκεισ
4He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?”
5ειπεν δε τισ ει κυριε ο δε κυριοσ ειπεν εγω ειμι ιησουσ ον συ διωκεισ
5“Who are You, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” He replied.
6αλλα αναστηθι και εισελθε εισ την πολιν και λαληθησεται σοι τι σε δει ποιειν
6“Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
7οι δε ανδρεσ οι συνοδευοντεσ αυτω ειστηκεισαν ενεοι ακουοντεσ μεν τησ φωνησ μηδενα δε θεωρουντεσ
7The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless. They heard the voice but did not see anyone.
8ηγερθη δε ο σαυλοσ απο τησ γησ ανεωγμενων τε των οφθαλμων αυτου ουδενα εβλεπεν χειραγωγουντεσ δε αυτον εισηγαγον εισ δαμασκον
8Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could not see a thing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus.
9και ην ημερασ τρεισ μη βλεπων και ουκ εφαγεν ουδε επιεν
9For three days he was without sight, and he did not eat or drink anything.
10ην δε τισ μαθητησ εν δαμασκω ονοματι ανανιασ και ειπεν προσ αυτον ο κυριοσ εν οραματι ανανια ο δε ειπεν ιδου εγω κυριε
10In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord spoke to him in a vision, “Ananias!” “Here I am, Lord,” he answered.
11ο δε κυριοσ προσ αυτον αναστασ πορευθητι επι την ρυμην την καλουμενην ευθειαν και ζητησον εν οικια ιουδα σαυλον ονοματι ταρσεα ιδου γαρ προσευχεται
11“Get up!” the Lord told him. “Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying.
12και ειδεν εν οραματι ανδρα ονοματι ανανιαν εισελθοντα και επιθεντα αυτω χειρα οπωσ αναβλεψη
12In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight.”
13απεκριθη δε ανανιασ κυριε ακηκοα απο πολλων περι του ανδροσ τουτου οσα κακα εποιησεν τοισ αγιοισ σου εν ιερουσαλημ
13But Ananias answered, “Lord, many people have told me about this man and all the harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem.
14και ωδε εχει εξουσιαν παρα των αρχιερεων δησαι παντασ τουσ επικαλουμενουσ το ονομα σου
14And now he is here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on Your name.”
15ειπεν δε προσ αυτον ο κυριοσ πορευου οτι σκευοσ εκλογησ μοι εστιν ουτοσ του βαστασαι το ονομα μου ενωπιον εθνων και βασιλεων υιων τε ισραηλ
15“Go!” said the Lord. “This man is My chosen instrument to carry My name before the Gentiles and their kings, and before the people of Israel.
16εγω γαρ υποδειξω αυτω οσα δει αυτον υπερ του ονοματοσ μου παθειν
16I will show him how much he must suffer for My name.”
17απηλθεν δε ανανιασ και εισηλθεν εισ την οικιαν και επιθεισ επ αυτον τασ χειρασ ειπεν σαουλ αδελφε ο κυριοσ απεσταλκεν με ο οφθεισ σοι εν τη οδω η ηρχου οπωσ αναβλεψησ και πλησθησ πνευματοσ αγιου
17So Ananias went to the house, and when he arrived, he placed his hands on Saul. “Brother Saul,” he said, “the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
18και ευθεωσ απεπεσον απο των οφθαλμων αυτου ωσει λεπιδεσ ανεβλεψεν τε και αναστασ εβαπτισθη
18At that instant, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and his sight was restored. He got up and was baptized,
19και λαβων τροφην ενισχυσεν εγενετο δε ο σαυλοσ μετα των εν δαμασκω μαθητων ημερασ τινασ
19and after taking some food, he regained his strength. And he spent several days with the disciples in Damascus.
20και ευθεωσ εν ταισ συναγωγαισ εκηρυσσεν τον χριστον οτι ουτοσ εστιν ο υιοσ του θεου
20Saul promptly began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, declaring, “He is the Son of God.”
21εξισταντο δε παντεσ οι ακουοντεσ και ελεγον ουχ ουτοσ εστιν ο πορθησασ εν ιερουσαλημ τουσ επικαλουμενουσ το ονομα τουτο και ωδε εισ τουτο εληλυθεν ινα δεδεμενουσ αυτουσ αγαγη επι τουσ αρχιερεισ
21All who heard him were astounded and asked, “Isn’t this the man who wreaked havoc in Jerusalem on those who call on this name? And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?”
22σαυλοσ δε μαλλον ενεδυναμουτο και συνεχυνεν τουσ ιουδαιουσ τουσ κατοικουντασ εν δαμασκω συμβιβαζων οτι ουτοσ εστιν ο χριστοσ
22But Saul was empowered all the more, and he confounded the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ.
23ωσ δε επληρουντο ημεραι ικαναι συνεβουλευσαντο οι ιουδαιοι ανελειν αυτον
23After many days had passed, the Jews conspired to kill him,
24εγνωσθη δε τω σαυλω η επιβουλη αυτων παρετηρουν τε τασ πυλασ ημερασ τε και νυκτοσ οπωσ αυτον ανελωσιν
24but Saul learned of their plot. Day and night they watched the city gates in order to kill him.
25λαβοντεσ δε αυτον οι μαθηται νυκτοσ καθηκαν δια του τειχουσ χαλασαντεσ εν σπυριδι
25One night, however, his disciples took him and lowered him in a basket through a window in the wall.
26παραγενομενοσ δε ο σαυλοσ εν ιερουσαλημ επειρατο κολλασθαι τοισ μαθηταισ και παντεσ εφοβουντο αυτον μη πιστευοντεσ οτι εστιν μαθητησ
26When Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
27βαρναβασ δε επιλαβομενοσ αυτον ηγαγεν προσ τουσ αποστολουσ και διηγησατο αυτοισ πωσ εν τη οδω ειδεν τον κυριον και οτι ελαλησεν αυτω και πωσ εν δαμασκω επαρρησιασατο εν τω ονοματι του ιησου
27Then Barnabas brought him to the apostles and described how Saul had seen the Lord, who spoke to him on the road to Damascus, and how Saul had spoken boldly in that city in the name of Jesus.
28και ην μετ αυτων εισπορευομενοσ εισ ιερουσαλημ και παρρησιαζομενοσ εν τω ονοματι του κυριου ιησου
28So Saul stayed with them, moving about freely in Jerusalem and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.
29ελαλει τε και συνεζητει προσ τουσ ελληνιστασ οι δε επεχειρουν αυτον ανελειν
29He talked and debated with the Grecian Jews, but they tried to kill him.
30επιγνοντεσ δε οι αδελφοι κατηγαγον αυτον εισ καισαρειαν και εξαπεστειλαν αυτον εισ ταρσον
30When the brothers learned of this, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
31αι μεν ουν εκκλησιαι καθ ολησ τησ ιουδαιασ και γαλιλαιασ και σαμαρειασ ειχον ειρηνην οικοδομουμεναι και πορευομεναι τω φοβω του κυριου και τη παρακλησει του αγιου πνευματοσ επληθυνοντο
31Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria experienced a time of peace. It grew in strength and numbers, living in the fear of the Lord and the encouragement of the Holy Spirit.
32εγενετο δε πετρον διερχομενον δια παντων κατελθειν και προσ τουσ αγιουσ τουσ κατοικουντασ λυδδαν
32As Peter traveled throughout the area, he went to visit the saints in Lydda.
33ευρεν δε εκει ανθρωπον τινα αινεαν ονοματι εξ ετων οκτω κατακειμενον επι κραββατω οσ ην παραλελυμενοσ
33There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been paralyzed and bedridden for eight years.
34και ειπεν αυτω ο πετροσ αινεα ιαται σε ιησουσ ο χριστοσ αναστηθι και στρωσον σεαυτω και ευθεωσ ανεστη
34“Aeneas,” Peter said to him, “Jesus Christ heals you! Get up and put away your mat.” Immediately Aeneas got up,
35και ειδον αυτον παντεσ οι κατοικουντεσ λυδδαν και τον ασσαρωνα οιτινεσ επεστρεψαν επι τον κυριον
35and all who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord.
36εν ιοππη δε τισ ην μαθητρια ονοματι ταβηθα η διερμηνευομενη λεγεται δορκασ αυτη ην πληρησ αγαθων εργων και ελεημοσυνων ων εποιει
36In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which is translated as Dorcas), who was always occupied with works of kindness and charity.
37εγενετο δε εν ταισ ημεραισ εκειναισ ασθενησασαν αυτην αποθανειν λουσαντεσ δε αυτην εθηκαν εν υπερωω
37At that time, however, she became sick and died, and her body was washed and placed in an upper room.
38εγγυσ δε ουσησ λυδδησ τη ιοππη οι μαθηται ακουσαντεσ οτι πετροσ εστιν εν αυτη απεστειλαν προσ αυτον παρακαλουντεσ μη οκνησαι διελθειν εωσ αυτων
38Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples heard that Peter was there and sent two men to urge him, “Come to us without delay.”
39αναστασ δε πετροσ συνηλθεν αυτοισ ον παραγενομενον ανηγαγον εισ το υπερωον και παρεστησαν αυτω πασαι αι χηραι κλαιουσαι και επιδεικνυμεναι χιτωνασ και ιματια οσα εποιει μετ αυτων ουσα η δορκασ
39So Peter got up and went with them. On his arrival, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood around him, weeping and showing him the tunics and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them.
40εκβαλων δε εξω παντασ ο πετροσ θεισ τα γονατα προσηυξατο και επιστρεψασ προσ το σωμα ειπεν ταβηθα αναστηθι η δε ηνοιξεν τουσ οφθαλμουσ αυτησ και ιδουσα τον πετρον ανεκαθισεν
40Then Peter sent them all out of the room. He knelt down and prayed, and turning toward her body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, she sat up.
41δουσ δε αυτη χειρα ανεστησεν αυτην φωνησασ δε τουσ αγιουσ και τασ χηρασ παρεστησεν αυτην ζωσαν
41Peter took her by the hand and helped her up. Then he called the saints and widows and presented her to them alive.
42γνωστον δε εγενετο καθ ολησ τησ ιοππησ και πολλοι επιστευσαν επι τον κυριον
42This became known all over Joppa, and many people believed in the Lord.
43εγενετο δε ημερασ ικανασ μειναι αυτον εν ιοππη παρα τινι σιμωνι βυρσει
43And Peter stayed for several days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.
