Acts 9

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

Ο δε Σαυλος, πνεων ετι απειλην και φονον κατα των μαθητων του Κυριου, ηλθε προς τον αρχιερεα

And 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.

και εζητησε παρ αυτου επιστολας εις Δαμασκον προς τας συναγωγας, οπως εαν ευρη τινας εκ της οδου ταυτης, ανδρας τε και γυναικας, φερη δεδεμενους εις Ιερουσαλημ.

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

Ενω δε πορευομενος επλησιαζεν εις την Δαμασκον, εξαιφνης ηστραψε περι αυτον φως απο του ουρανου,

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

και πεσων επι την γην, ηκουσε φωνην λεγουσαν προς αυτον Σαουλ, Σαουλ, τι με διωκεις;

And 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.

Και ειπε Τις εισαι, Κυριε; Και ο Κυριος ειπεν Εγω ειμαι ο Ιησους, τον οποιον συ διωκεις σκληρον σοι ειναι να λακτιζης προς κεντρα.

And 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.

Ο δε τρεμων και εκθαμβος γενομενος, ειπε Κυριε, τι θελεις να καμω; Και ο Κυριος ειπε προς αυτον Σηκωθητι και εισελθε εις την πολιν, και θελει σοι λαληθη τι πρεπει να καμης.

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

Οι δε ανδρες οι συνοδευοντες αυτον ισταντο αφωνοι, ακουοντες μεν την φωνην, μηδενα ομως βλεποντες.

And 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.

Εσηκωθη δε ο Σαυλος απο της γης, και εχων ανεωγμενους τους οφθαλμους αυτου δεν εβλεπεν ουδενα και χειραγωγουντες αυτον εισηγαγον εις Δαμασκον.

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

Και ητο τρεις ημερας χωρις να βλεπη, και δεν εφαγεν ουδε επιεν.

And 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.

Ητο δε τις μαθητης εν Δαμασκω Ανανιας ονομαζομενος, και ειπε προς αυτον ο Κυριος δι οραματος Ανανια Ο δε ειπεν Ιδου εγω, Κυριε.

And 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,

Και ο Κυριος ειπε προς αυτον Σηκωθεις υπαγε εις την οδον την ονομαζομενην Ευθειαν και ζητησον εν τη οικια του Ιουδα τινα Σαυλον ονομαζομενον Ταρσεα διοτι ιδου, προσευχεται,

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

και ειδε δι οραματος ανθρωπον Ανανιαν ονομαζομενον οτι εισηλθε και εθεσεν επ αυτον την χειρα, δια να αναβλεψη.

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

Απεκριθη δε ο Ανανιας Κυριε, ηκουσα απο πολλων περι του ανδρος τουτου, οσα κακα επραξεν εις τους αγιους σου εν Ιερουσαλημ

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

και εδω εχει εξουσιαν παρα των αρχιερεων να δεση παντας τους επικαλουμενους το ονομα σου.

But 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:

Ειπε δε προς αυτον ο Κυριος Υπαγε, διοτι ουτος ειναι σκευος εκλογης εις εμε, δια να βασταση το ονομα μου ενωπιον εθνων και βασιλεων και των υιων Ισραηλ

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

επειδη εγω θελω δειξει εις αυτον οσα πρεπει να παθη υπερ του ονοματος μου.

And 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.

Υπηγε δε ο Ανανιας και εισηλθεν εις την οικιαν, και επιθεσας επ αυτον τας χειρας ειπε Σαουλ αδελφε, ο Κυριος με απεστειλεν, ο Ιησους οστις εφανη εις σε εν τη οδω καθ ην ηρχου, δια να αναβλεψης και να πλησθης Πνευματος Αγιου.

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

Και ευθυς επεσον απο των οφθαλμων αυτου ως λεπη, και ανεβλεψεν ευθυς, και σηκωθεις εβαπτισθη.

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

Και λαβων τροφην εδυναμωθη. Διετριψε δε ο Σαυλος ημερας τινας μετα των εν Δαμασκω μαθητων,

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

και ευθυς εκηρυττεν εν ταις συναγωγαις τον Χριστον οτι ουτος ειναι ο Υιος του Θεου.

But 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?

Εξεπληττοντο δε παντες οι ακουοντες και ελεγον Δεν ειναι ουτος, οστις εξωλοθρευσεν εν Ιερουσαλημ τους επικαλουμενους το ονομα τουτο και εδω δια τουτο ειχεν ελθει δια να φερη αυτους δεδεμενους προς τους αρχιερεις;

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

Ο δε Σαυλος μαλλον ενεδυναμουτο και συνεχεε τους Ιουδαιους τους κατοικουντας εν Δαμασκω, αποδεικνυων οτι ουτος ειναι ο Χριστος.

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

Και αφου παρηλθον ημεραι ικαναι, συνεβουλευθησαν οι Ιουδαιοι να θανατωσωσιν αυτον

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

εγνωστοποιηθη δε εις τον Σαυλον η επιβουλη αυτων. Και παρεφυλαττον τας πυλας ημεραν και νυκτα, δια να θανατωσωσιν αυτον

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

λαβοντες δε αυτον οι μαθηται, δια νυκτος κατεβιβασαν δια του τειχους κρεμασαντες εντος σπυριδος.

And 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.

Και ελθων ο Σαυλος εις Ιερουσαλημ επροσπαθει να προσκολληθη εις τους μαθητας πλην παντες εφοβουντο αυτον, μη πιστευοντες οτι ειναι μαθητης.

But 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.

Ο Βαρναβας δε παραλαβων αυτον εφερε προς τους αποστολους, και διηγηθη προς αυτους πως ειδε τον Κυριον εν τη οδω και οτι ελαλησε προς αυτον, και πως εν Δαμασκω, εκηρυξε μετα παρρησιας εν τω ονοματι του Ιησου.

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

Και ητο μετ αυτων εν Ιερουσαλημ εισερχομενος και εξερχομενος και μετα παρρησιας κηρυττων εν τω ονοματι του Κυριου Ιησου,

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

και ελαλει και εφιλονεικει μετα των Ελληνιστων εκεινοι δε κατεγινοντο εις το να θανατωσωσιν αυτον.

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

Μαθοντες δε οι αδελφοι, κατεβιβασαν αυτον εις Καισαρειαν και εξαπεστειλαν αυτον εις Ταρσον.

Then had the churches rest throughout all Judæa 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.

Αι μεν λοιπον εκκλησιαι καθ ολην την Ιουδαιαν και Γαλιλαιαν και Σαμαρειαν ειχον ειρηνην, οικοδομουμεναι και περιπατουσαι εν τω φοβω του Κυριου, και δια της παρηγοριας του Αγιου Πνευματος επληθυνοντο.

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

Ο δε Πετρος, διερχομενος δια παντων, κατεβη και προς τους αγιους τους κατοικουντας την Λυδδαν.

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

Και ευρεν ανθρωπον τινα Αινεαν το ονομα, οστις ητο παραλυτικος, απο ετων οκτω κατακειμενος επι κραββατου.

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

Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Πετρος Αινεα, σε ιατρευει Ιησους ο Χριστος σηκωθητι και στρωσον την κλινην σου. Και ευθυς εσηκωθη.

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

Και ειδον αυτον παντες οι κατοικουντες την Λυδδαν και τον Σαρωνα, οιτινες επεστρεψαν εις τον Κυριον.

Now 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.

Και εν Ιοππη ητο τις μαθητρια ονοματι Ταβιθα, ητις διερμηνευομενη λεγεται Δορκας αυτη ητο πληρης αγαθων εργων και ελεημοσυνων, τας οποιας εκαμνε

And 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.

κατ εκεινας δε τας ημερας συνεβη ασθενησασα να αποθανη και λουσαντες αυτην εθεσαν εις ανωγεον.

And 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.

Και επειδη η Λυδδα ητο πλησιον της Ιοππης, ακουσαντες οι μαθηται οτι ο Πετρος ειναι εν αυτη, απεστειλαν προς αυτον δυο ανδρας, παρακαλουντες να μη βραδυνη να περαση εως εις αυτους.

Then 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.

Και σηκωθεις ο Πετρος, υπηγε μετ αυτων τον οποιον ελθοντα ανεβιβασαν εις το ανωγεον, και παρεσταθησαν ενωπιον αυτου πασαι αι χηραι, κλαιουσαι και δεικνυουσαι χιτωνας και ιματια, οσα η Δορκας ειργαζετο οτε ητο μετ αυτων.

But 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.

Ο δε Πετρος, εκβαλων εξω παντας, εγονατισε και προσηυχηθη και στραφεις προς το σωμα, ειπε Ταβιθα, αναστηθι. Η δε ηνοιξε τους οφθαλμους αυτης και ιδουσα τον Πετρον ανεκαθησεν.

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

Ο δε εδωκε χειρα εις αυτην και εσηκωσεν αυτην, και φωναξας τους αγιους και τας χηρας παρεστησεν αυτην ζωσαν.

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

Εγεινε δε τουτο γνωστον καθ ολην την Ιοππην, και πολλοι επιστευσαν εις τον Κυριον.

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

Και ο Πετρος εμεινεν ικανας ημερας εν Ιοππη παρα τινι Σιμωνι βυρσοδεψη.
