HULLE HET PLANNE BERAAM OM HOM TE VERMOOR:

29. Saulus het ook met Grieks-sprekende Jode gepraat, en met hulle geredeneer, maar hulle het planne beraam om hom te vermoor.

30. Toe die gelowiges dit agterkom, het hulle hom Sesarea toe gevat, en van daar na Tarsus toe gestuur.

31. Die Kerk het deur die hele Judea, Galilea en Samaria vrede gehad. Die gelowiges is opgebou en het in ontsag vir die Here geleef, en hulle is deur die Heilige Gees versterk. Op hierdie manier het hulle getalle aangegroei.

32. Petrus het van plek tot plek gereis, en het ook op ‘n keer, by die gelowiges in die dorp Lidda gekom.

33. Daar het hy ‘n man met die naam Eneas gekry wat verlam en al agt jaar bedlêend was.

34. “Eneas,” het Petrus toe vir hom gesê: “Jesus Christus maak jou gesond! Staan op en rol jou bed op!” En hy het dadelik opgestaan.

35. Al die inwoners van Lidda en die Saronvlakte het hulle tot die Here bekeer, toe hulle Eneas genees sien rondgaan.

THEY WERE SEEKING TO KILL HIM:

29. And he spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.

30. And when the brothers learned this, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him off to Tarsus.

31. So the Church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, and was being built up. And walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it multiplied.

32. As Peter went here and there among them all, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.

33. There he found a man named Aeneas, bedridden for eight years, who was paralyzed.

34. And Peter said to him: “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; rise and make your bed.” And he immediately rose.

35. And all the residents of Lydda and Sharon saw him moving about, and they turned to the Lord.

PÊREL VIR ELKE DAG:

(Handelinge 9:20-28)

SAULUS SE PREDIKING HET AL HOE KRAGTIGER GEWORD:

20. Saulus het Jesus dadelik in die Sinagoges begin verkondig – dat Hy die Seun van God is.

21. Almal wat hom gehoor het, was verbaas en het gesê: ‘Is dit nie dieselfde man wat Jesus se volgelinge in Jerusalem getreiter het nie? Dis mos presies waarvoor hy hierheen gekom het: Om die gelowiges geboeid voor die priesterhoofde te bring!’

22. Saulus se prediking het al hoe kragtiger geword, en het die Damaskus-Jode in die war gebring, deur te bewys dat Jesus die Christus is.

23. Na etlike dae het hierdie Jode saamgesweer om Saulus te vermoor.

24. Hulle komplot het egter aan Saulus uitgelek. Dag en nag het hulle die stad se poorte dopgehou om hom te vermoor.

25. Maar sy volgelinge het hom in ‘n mandjie deur ‘n opening in die stadsmuur laat afsak.

26. Toe Saulus in Jerusalem aankom, het hy probeer om by die gelowiges aan te sluit, maar almal was bang vir hom. Hulle kon nie glo dat hy ‘n gelowige is nie.

27. Barnabas het hom toe na die apostels toe gevat, en vir hulle vertel hoe Saulus op pad na Damaskus die Here gesien het. Barnabas het ook vertel dat die Here met Saulus gepraat het, en hoe hy in Damaskus openlik in die Naam van Jesus gepreek het.

28. Saulus het toe orals in Jerusalem saam met die apostels rondgegaan, en openlik in die Naam van die Here gepreek.

SAUL INCREASED ALL THE MORE IN STRENGTH:

20. And immediately he proclaimed Jesus in the Synagogues, saying: “He is the Son of God.”

21. And all who heard him were amazed, and said, ‘Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem of those who called upon this Name? And has he not come here for this purpose, to bring them bound before the chief priests?’

22. But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus, by proving that Jesus was the Christ.

23. When many days had passed, the Jews plotted to kill Saul,

24. but their plot became known to him. They were watching the gates day and night in order to kill him,

25. but his disciples took him by night, and let him down through an opening in the wall, lowering him in a basket.

26. And when he had come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join the disciples. But they were all afraid of him, for they did not believe that he was a disciple.

27. But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them, how on the road to Damascus Saul had seen the Lord, Who spoke to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the Name of Jesus.

28. So Saul went in and out among the apostles at Jerusalem, preaching boldly in the Name of the Lord Jesus.

PÊREL VIR ELKE DAG:

(Handelinge 9:10-19)

HY KON WEER SIEN:

10. Daar was ‘n gelowige in Damaskus, met die naam Ananias. Die Here het hom in ‘n gesig geroep: ‘+Ananias!’+ “Ja Here,” het hy geantwoord.

11. Daarop sê die Here vir hom: ‘.+Gaan nóú Reguitstraat toe, na Judas se huis. Vra daar na Saulus van Tarsus. Want kyk, hy is besig om te bid.

12. ‘+Ek het hom ‘n gesig laat sien dat ‘n man met die naam Ananias inkom, en sy hande op hom sit, sodat hy weer kan sien.’+

13. Maar Ananias het geantwoord: “Here, ek het al by baie mense van hierdie man gehoor – watter kwaad hy die gelowiges in Jerusalem aangedoen het!

14. “En ons hoor hy het ‘n mandaat van die priesterhoofde om al die gelowiges hier in Damaskus te arresteer.”

15. Die Here het egter vir hom gesê: ‘+Gaan doen wat Ek sê, want Ek het Saulus as My instrument uitgekies, om My boodskap uit te dra na volke en konings, en ook aan die volk Israel.

16. ‘+Ek sal inderdaad self vir hom wys hoeveel hy vir My moet ly.’+

17. Ananias het toe vertrek, en by daardie huis ingegaan. Hy het sy hande op Saulus gesit en gesê: “Broer Saul, die Here het my gestuur, Jesus wat aan jou verskyn het op pad hierheen. Hy het my gestuur sodat jy weer kan sien, en met die Heilige Gees vervul kan word.”

18. Onmiddellik het iets soos skille van Saulus se oë afgeval, en hy kon weer sien. Hy het opgestaan en is gedoop.

19. Hy het toe kos geëet en sy kragte begin herwin. Saulus het toe ‘n paar dae by die gelowiges in Damaskus gebly.

(Acts 9:10-19)

HE REGAINED HIS SIGHT:

10. There was a disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision: ‘+Ananias!’+ And he said: “Here am I, Lord!”

11. And the Lord said to him: ‘+Rise, and go to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas, look for a man of Tarsus, named Saul, for behold, he is praying.

12. ‘+And he has seen in a vision, a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him, so that he might regain his sight.’+

13. But Ananias answered: “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to Your saints at Jerusalem.

14. “And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on Your Name.”

15. But the Lord said to him: ‘+Go, for he is a chosen instrument of Mine, to carry My Name before the Gentiles and kings, and the children of Israel.

16. ‘+For I Will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of My Name.’+

17. So Ananias departed and entered the house. And laying hands on Saul, he said: “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus Who appeared to you on the road by which you came, Has sent me so that you may regain your sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”

18. And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he regained his sight. Then he rose and was baptized,

19. and taking food, he was strengthened. For some days he was with the disciples at Damascus.
