King James Version
AFR DVK
1
And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
En Saulus, nog dreigemente en moord blaasende teen die dissipels van die Here, het na die hoëpriester gegaan,
2
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.
En van hom briewe gevra na Damaskus tot die sinagoges, dat as hy enige van hierdie weg vind, beide manne of vroue, hy hulle gebonde na Jérusalem mag bring.
3
And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:
En soos hy gereis het, het hy naby Damaskus gekom: en skielik het daar ‚'n lig uit die hemel om hom geskyn:
4
And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
En hy het op die aarde geval, en ’n stem gehoor wat tot hom sê, Saul, Saul, waarom vervolg jy My?
5
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.
En hy het gesê, Wie is U, Here? En die Here het gesê, Ek is Jesus wat jy vervolg: dit is hard vir jou om teen die prikkels te skop.
6
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.
En hy, bewend en verbaas, het gesê, Here, wat wil U hê dat ek moet doen? En die Here het tot hom gesê, Staan op, en gaan in die stad, en daar sal jou gesê word wat jy moet doen.
7
And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.
En die manne wat met hom gereis het het stomgestaan, ‚'n stem horende, maar niemand sien nie.
8
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.
En Saulus het van die aarde opgestaan; en toe sy oë oop was, het hy niemand gesien nie: maar hulle het hom by die hand gelei, en in Damaskus gebring.
9
And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.
En hy was drie dae sonder sig, en het nie geëet of gedrink nie.
10
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.
En daar was ’n sekere dissipel in Damaskus, met die naam van Ananías; en tot hom het die Here in ’n gesig gesê, Ananías. En hy het gesê, Kyk, hier is ek, Here.
11
And the Lord [said] unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for [one] called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,
En die Here het tot hom gesê, Staan op, en gaan in die straat wat Reguit genoem word, en vra in die huis van Judas na een genaamd Saul, van Tarsus: want kyk, hy bid,
12
And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting [his] hand on him, that he might receive his sight.
En het in ’n gesig ’n man gesien, met die naam van Ananías, inkomende, en sy hand op hom lêende, dat hy sy sig mag ontvang.
13
Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
Toe het Ananías geantwoord, Here, ek het van baie gehoor aangaande hierdie man, hoeveel kwaad hy u heiliges in Jérusalem aangedoen het:
14
And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.
En hier het hy gesag van die owerpriesters om almal te bind wat u Naam aanroep.
15
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:
Maar die Here het tot hom gesê, Gaan jou weg: want hy is ’n uitverkore vat vir My, om my Naam te dra voor die heidene, en konings, en die kinders van Israel:
16
For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.
Want ek sal hom toon hoeveel hy moet ly om my Naam ontwil.
17
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.
En Ananías het gegaan sy weg, en in die huis ingegaan; en sy hande op hom gelê, het gesê, Broer Saul, die Here, selfs Jesus, wat aan jou verskyn het op die pad soos jy gekom het, het my gestuur, dat jy jou sig mag ontvang, en met die Heilige Gees vervul word.
18
And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.
En dadelik het daar soos skille van sy oë geval: en hy het dadelik die sig ontvang, en opgestaan, en is gedoop.
19
And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.
En toe hy voedsel ontvang het, is hy versterk. Toe was Saulus ‚'n paar dae by die dissipels wat in Damaskus was.
20
And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
En dadelik het hy Christus in die sinagoges verkondig, dat Hy die Seun van God is.
21
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?
Maar almal wat hom gehoor het, was verbaas, en het gesê, Is hierdie nie hy wat dié vernietig het wat hierdie Naam in Jérusalem aangeroep het, en hierheen gekom het vir daardie doel, dat hy hulle gebonde na die owerpriesters sou bring nie?
22
But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.
Maar Saulus het des te meer in krag toegeneem, en die Jode wat in Damaskus woon verwar, en bewys dat dit die baie Christus is.
23
And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:
En ná baie dae was verby, het die Jode raad gehou om hom dood te maak:
24
But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.
Maar hulle hinderlaag is aan Saulus bekend gemaak. En hulle het die poorte dag en nag bewaak om hom dood te maak.
25
Then the disciples took him by night, and let [him] down by the wall in a basket.
Toe het die dissipels hom in die nag geneem, en hom in ‚'n mandjie oor die muur laat sak.
26
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.
En toe Saulus in Jérusalem gekom het, het hy probeer om by die dissipels aan te sluit: maar hulle was almal bevrees vir hom, en het nie geglo dat hy ’n dissipel was nie.
27
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.
Maar Barnabas het hom geneem, en hom by die apostels gebring, en aan hulle verklaar hoe hy die Here op die pad gesien het, en dat Hy met hom gespreek het, en hoe hy in Damaskus vrymoedig in die Naam van Jesus gespreek het.
28
And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.
En hy was by hulle in- en uitgaande in Jérusalem.
29
And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.
En hy het vrymoedig gespreek in die Naam van die Here Jesus, en geredeneer teen die Griekse Jode: maar hulle het gegaan om hom dood te maak.
30
[Which] when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
Wat die broers, toe hulle dit weet, hom afgebring het na Cesaréa, en hom na Tarsus gestuur het.
31
Then 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.
Toe het die gemeentes rus gehad deur die hele Judea en Galilea en Samaría, en is opgebou; en wandelende in die vrees van die Here, en in die vertroosting van die Heilige Gees, is vermeerder.
32
And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all [quarters], he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
En dit het gebeur, soos Petrus deur alle oorde gereis het, dat hy ook by die heiliges gekom het wat in Lydda woon.
33
And there he found a certain man named AEneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.
En daar het hy ’n sekere man gevind, met die naam van Éneas, wat agt jaar lank op ’n bed gelê het, en verlam was.
34
And Peter said unto him, AEneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
En Petrus het tot hom gesê, Éneas, Jesus Christus maak jou gesond: staan op, en maak jou bed op. En hy het dadelik opgestaan.
35
And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.
En almal wat in Lydda en Saron woon het hom gesien, en tot die Here bekeer.
36
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.
Nou was daar in Joppe ‚'n sekere dissipel, met die naam van Tabita, wat vertaal is Dorkas: hierdie vrou was vol goeie werke en aalmoese wat sy gedoen het.
37
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.
En dit het gebeur in daardie dae, dat sy siek geword het, en gesterwe het: wat, toe hulle haar gewas het, het hulle haar in ’n bo-kamer neergelê.
38
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.
En aangesien Lydda naby Joppe was, en die dissipels gehoor het dat Petrus daar was, het hulle tot hom gestuur twee manne, wat begeer het dat hy nie sou vertoef om tot hulle te kom nie.
39
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.
Toe het Petrus opgestaan en saam met hulle gegaan. Toe hy gekom het, het hulle hom in die bo-kamer gebring: en al die weduwees het by hom gestaan en geween, en die rokke en klere gewys wat Dorkas gemaak het, terwyl sy by hulle was.
40
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.
Maar Petrus het hulle almal uitgewerp, en neergekniel, en gebid; en hom na die liggaam omgedraai, het gesê, Tabita, staan op. En sy het haar oë oopgemaak: en toe sy Petrus sien, het sy opgesit.
41
And he gave her [his] hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
En hy het haar die hand gegee, en haar opgerig, en toe hy die heiliges en weduwees geroep het, het hy haar lewend voorgestel.
42
And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
En dit is bekend geword deur die hele Joppe; en baie het in die Here geglo.
43
And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
En hy het baie dae in Joppe gebly by een Simon, ‚'n leerwerker.
