Acts 9

Datapuwa't si Saulo, na sumisilakbo pa ng mga pagbabanta at pagpatay laban sa mga alagad ng Panginoon, ay naparoon sa dakilang saserdote,

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

At humingi sa kaniya ng mga sulat sa Damasco sa mga sinagoga, upang kung siya'y makasumpong ng sinoman sa mga nasa Daan, maging mga lalake o mga babae, ay kaniya silang madalang gapos sa Jerusalem.

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.

At sa kaniyang paglalakad, ay nangyari na siya'y malapit sa Damasco: at pagdaka'y nagliwanag sa palibot niya ang isang ilaw mula sa langit:

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

At siya'y nasubasob sa lupa, at nakarinig ng isang tinig na sa kaniya'y nagsasabi, Saulo, Saulo, bakit mo ako pinaguusig?

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

At sinabi niya, Sino ka baga, Panginoon? At sinabi niya, Ako'y si Jesus na iyong pinaguusig:

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.

Nguni't magtindig ka, at ikaw ay pumasok sa bayan, at sasalitain sa iyo ang dapat mong gawin.

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.

At ang mga taong kasama niya sa paglalakad ay nangatilihan na hindi makapagsalita, na naririnig ang tinig, datapuwa't walang nakikitang sinoman.

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

At nagtindig sa lupa si Saulo; at pagkadilat ng kaniyang mga mata, ay di siya nakakita ng anoman; at kanilang inakay siya sa kamay at ipinasok siya sa Damasco.

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.

At siya'y tatlong araw na walang paningin, at hindi kumain ni uminom man.

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

Ngayon nga'y may isang alagad sa Damasco, na nagngangalang Ananias; at sinabi sa kaniya ng Panginoon sa pangitain, Ananias. At sinabi niya, Narito ako, Panginoon.

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.

At sinabi sa kaniya ng Panginoon, Magtindig ka, at pumaroon sa lansangang tinatawag na Matuwid, at ipagtanong mo sa bahay ni Judas ang isa na nagngangalang Saulo, lalaking taga Tarso: sapagka't narito, siya'y nananalangin;

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,

At nakita niya ang isang lalaking nagngangalang Ananias na pumapasok, at ipinapatong ang kaniyang mga kamay sa kaniya, upang tanggapin niya ang kaniyang paningin.

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

Nguni't sumagot si Ananias, Panginoon, nabalitaan ko sa marami ang tungkol sa taong ito, kung gaano karaming kasamaan ang ginawa niya sa iyong mga banal sa Jerusalem:

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

At dito siya'y may kapahintulutan ng mga pangulong saserdote na gapusin ang lahat ng mga nagsisitawag sa iyong pangalan.

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

Datapuwa't sinabi sa kaniya ng Panginoon, Pumaroon ka: sapagka't siya'y sisidlang hirang sa akin, upang dalhin ang aking pangalan sa harapan ng mga Gentil at ng mga hari, at ng mga anak ni Israel:

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:

Sapagka't sa kaniya'y aking ipakikilala kung gaano karaming mga bagay ang dapat niyang tiisin dahil sa aking pangalan.

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

At umalis si Ananias at pumasok sa bahay; at ipinatong ang kaniyang mga kamay sa kaniya na sinabi, Kapatid na Saulo, ang Panginoon, sa makatuwid baga'y si Jesus, na sa iyo'y napakita sa daan na iyong pinanggalingan, ay nagsugo sa akin, upang tanggapin mo ang iyong paningin, at mapuspos ka ng Espiritu Santo.

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.

At pagdaka'y nangalaglag mula sa kaniyang mga mata ang mga parang kaliskis, at tinanggap niya ang kaniyang paningin; at siya'y nagtindig at siya'y binautismuhan;

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

At siya'y kumain at lumakas. At siya'y nakisamang ilang araw sa mga alagad na nangasa Damasco.

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

At pagdaka'y kaniyang itinanyag sa mga sinagoga si Jesus, na siya ang Anak ng Dios.

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

At ang lahat ng sa kaniya'y nakarinig ay namangha, at nangagsabi, Hindi baga ito yaong sa Jerusalem ay lumipol sa mga nagsitawag sa pangalang ito? at sa ganitong nasa ay naparito siya, upang sila'y dalhing gapos sa harap ng mga pangulong saserdote.

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?

Datapuwa't lalo nang lumakas ang loob ni Saulo, at nilito ang mga Judio na nangananahan sa Damasco, na pinatutunayan na ito ang Cristo.

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

At nang maganap ang maraming mga araw, ay nangagsanggunian ang mga Judio upang siya'y patayin:

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

Datapuwa't napagtalastas ni Saulo ang kanilang banta. At kanilang binantayan naman ang mga pintuang daan sa araw at gabi upang siya'y kanilang patayin:

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

Nguni't kinuha siya sa gabi ng kaniyang mga alagad, at siya'y ibinaba sa kuta na siya'y inihugos na nasa isang balaong.

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

At nang siya'y dumating sa Jerusalem, ay pinagsikapan niyang makipisan sa mga alagad: at silang lahat ay nangatakot sa kaniya, sa di paniniwala na siya'y alagad,

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.

Datapuwa't kinuha siya ni Bernabe, at siya'y iniharap sa mga apostol, at sa kanila'y isinaysay kung paanong nakita niya sa daan ang Panginoon, at kinausap siya, at kung paanong siya'y nangaral sa Damasco na may katapangan sa pangalan ni Jesus.

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.

At siya'y kasamasama nila, na pumapasok at lumalabas sa Jerusalem,

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

Na nangangaral na may katapangan sa pangalan ng Panginoon: at siya'y nagsalita at nakipagtuligsaan sa mga Greco-Judio; datapuwa't pinagpipilitan nilang siya'y mapatay.

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

At nang maalaman ito ng mga kapatid, ay inihatid nila siya sa Cesarea, at siya'y sinugo nila sa Tarso.

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

Sa gayo'y nagkaroon ng kapayapaan ang iglesia sa buong Judea at Galilea at Samaria palibhasa'y pinagtibay; at, sa paglakad na may takot sa Panginoon at may kaaliwan ng Espiritu Santo, ay nagsisidami.

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.

At nangyari, na sa paglalakad ni Pedro sa lahat ng dako, siya'y naparoon naman sa mga banal na nangananahan sa Lidda.

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

At doo'y natagpuan niya ang isang lalake na nagngangalang Eneas, na walo nang taong sumasabanig; sapagka't siya'y lumpo.

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

At sinabi sa kaniya ni Pedro, Eneas, pinagagaling ka ni Jesucristo: magtindig ka, at husayin mo ang iyong higaan. At pagdaka'y nagtindig siya.

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

At siya'y nakita ng lahat ng mga nangananahan sa Lidda at sa Sarona, at sila'y nangagbalik-loob sa Panginoon.

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

Ngayon ay may isang alagad sa Joppe na nagngangalang Tabita, na ang kahuluga'y Dorcas: ang babaing ito'y puspos ng mabubuting gawa at ng pagkaawang gawa na kaniyang ginagawa.

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.

At nangyari nang mga araw na yaon, na siya'y nagkasakit, at namatay: at nang siya'y mahugasan na nila, ay kanilang ibinurol siya sa isang silid sa itaas.

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.

At sapagka't malapit ang Lidda sa Joppe, pagkabalita ng mga alagad na si Pedro ay naroroon, ay nangagsugo sa kaniya ng dalawa katao, na ipinamamanhik sa kaniya, Huwag kang magluwat ng pagparito sa amin.

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.

At nagtindig si Pedro at sumama sa kanila. At pagdating niya, ay inihatid nila sa silid sa itaas: at siya'y niligid ng lahat ng mga babaing bao, na nagsisitangis, at ipinakikita ang mga tunika at ang mga damit na ginawa ni Dorcas, nang ito'y kasama pa nila.

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.

Datapuwa't pinalabas silang lahat ni Pedro, at lumuhod, at nanalangin; at pagbaling sa bangkay ay kaniyang sinabi, Tabita, magbangon ka. At iminulat niya ang kaniyang mga mata, at nang makita niya si Pedro, ay naupo siya.

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.

At iniabot ni Pedro sa kaniya ang kaniyang kamay, at siya'y itinindig; at tinawag ang mga banal at ang mga babaing bao, at siya'y iniharap niyang buhay.

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

At ito'y nabansag sa buong Joppe: at marami ang mga nagsisampalataya sa Panginoon.

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

At nangyari, na siya'y nanahang maraming mga araw sa Joppe, na kasama ni Simong mangluluto ng balat.

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