使徒行传 8
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
8 司提反被害，掃羅也欣然同意。
掃羅迫害教會
從那天起，耶路撒冷的教會大受迫害；除了使徒以外，所有的人都分散到猶太和撒瑪利亞各地。 2 有些虔誠的人安葬了司提反，為他大大悲痛一番。 3 掃羅卻殘害教會，逐家進去，連男帶女拉去坐監。
福音傳到撒瑪利亞
4 那些分散的人，經過各地，傳揚福音真道。 5 腓利下到撒瑪利亞城，宣講基督。 6 群眾聽了腓利所講的，看見他所行的神蹟，就同心聽從了他的話。 7 許多人有污靈附在他們身上，污靈大聲喊叫了之後，就出來了；還有許多癱子瘸子都醫好了。 8 在那城裡，就大有歡樂。
9 有一個人名叫西門，從前在城裡行過邪術，使撒瑪利亞的居民驚奇，他又自命不凡， 10 城裡大大小小都聽從他，說：“這就是那稱為‘ 神的大能’的人。” 11 他們聽從他，因為他長久用邪術，使他們驚奇。 12 等到腓利向他們傳了 神的國的福音，和耶穌基督的名，他們就信了腓利，連男帶女都受了洗。 13 連西門自己也信了，他受洗之後，常和腓利在一起，看見所發生的神蹟和大能的事，就覺得很驚奇。
14 在耶路撒冷的使徒，聽見撒瑪利亞居民領受了 神的道，就差派彼得和約翰到他們那裡去。 15 二人到了，就為大家禱告，要讓他們接受聖靈。 16 因為聖靈還沒有降在他們任何一個身上，他們只是受了洗歸入主耶穌的名下。 17 於是使徒為他們按手，他們就受了聖靈。 18 西門看見使徒一按手，就有聖靈賜下來，就拿錢給他們， 19 說：“請把這權柄也給我，叫我為誰按手，誰就可以受聖靈。” 20 彼得對他說：“你的銀子跟你一同滅亡吧！因為你以為 神的恩賜，是可以用錢買的。 21 你和這件事是毫無關係的，因為你在 神面前存心不正。 22 所以，你要悔改離棄這罪惡，要祈求主，也許你心中的意念可以得到赦免。 23 我看出你正在苦膽之中，邪惡捆綁著你。” 24 西門回答：“請你們為我求主，好讓你們所說的，沒有一樣臨到我身上。”
25 使徒作了見證，講了主的道，就回耶路撒冷去，一路上在撒瑪利亞人的許多村莊裡傳揚福音。
腓利對太監傳講耶穌
26 有主的一位使者對腓利說：“起來，向南走，往那從耶路撒冷下迦薩的路上去。”那條路在曠野裡。 27 他就動身去了。有一個衣索匹亞人，是衣索匹亞女王干大基有權力的太監，掌管女王全部國庫。他上耶路撒冷去禮拜。 28 他回去的時候，坐在車上讀以賽亞先知的書。 29 聖靈對腓利說：“你往前去，靠近那車子！” 30 腓利就跑過去，聽見他讀以賽亞先知的書，就問他：“你所讀的，你明白嗎？” 31 他說：“沒有人指導我，怎能明白呢？”於是請腓利上車，同他坐在一起。 32 他所讀的那段經文，就是：
“他像羊被牽去宰殺，
又像羊羔在剪毛的人面前無聲，
他總是這樣不開口。
33 他受屈辱的時候，
得不到公平的審判，
誰能說出他的身世呢？
因為他的生命從地上被奪去。”
34 太監對腓利說：“請問先知這話是指誰說的？指他自己呢？還是指別人？” 35 腓利就開口，從這段經文開始，向他傳講耶穌。 36 他們一路走，到了有水的地方，太監說：“你看，這裡有水，有甚麼可以阻止我受洗呢？”（有些抄本在此有第37節：“腓利說：‘你若全心相信，就可以受洗。’他回答說：‘我信耶穌基督是 神的兒子。’”） 38 於是太監吩咐停車，腓利和他兩人下到水中，腓利就給他施洗。 39 他們從水裡上來的時候，主的靈就把腓利提去了，太監再也看不見他，就歡歡喜喜地上路。 40 後來有人在亞鎖都遇見腓利。他走遍各城，傳講福音，直到該撒利亞。

विश्वासणाऱ्यांवर संकट
8 स्तेफनाचा जो खून झाला त्याला शौलाची संमति होती. त्या दिवसापासून यरुशलेम येथील ख्रिस्ताच्या मंडळीचा मोठा छळ सुरु झाला. प्रेषितांशिवाय इतर सर्व विश्वासणारे शिष्य यहूदा व शोमरोन प्रांताच्या कानाकोपऱ्यात पांगून गेले.
Trouble for the Believers
2-3 काही धार्मिक माणसांनी स्तेफनाला पुरले आणि त्याच्यासाठी त्यांनी फार शोक केला. शौलाने ख्रिेस्ताच्या मंडळीचा छळ करण्यास सुरुवात केली. तो घरोघर जाई. स्त्रिया व पुरुष यांना धरुन खेचून नेई व तुरुंगात टाकीत असे. 4 विश्वासणारे सगळीकडे पांगले होते. जेथे कोठे विश्वासणारे जात, तेथे ते लोकांना सुवार्ता सांगत.
शोमरोनात फिलिप्पाची सेवा
5 फिलिप्प [a] शोमरोनातील एका शहरात गेला. त्याने ख्रिस्ताचा संदेश दिला. तेथील लोकांनी फिलिप्पाचे बोलणे ऐकले व त्याने केलेले चमत्कार पाहिले. 6 फिलिप्प ज्या गोष्टी त्यांना सांगत असे त्या ते लक्षपूर्वक ऐकत असत. 7 त्यांच्यापैकी पुष्कळांना अशुद्ध आत्मे लागले होते. पण फिलिप्पाने ते सर्व घालविले होते. ते माणसांच्या शरीरातून बाहेर पडताना मोठ्याने ओरडत बाहेर पडत असत. तेथे बरेच लंगडे व अर्धांगवायू झालेले लोक होते. फिलिप्पाने या लोकांना बरे केले. 8 यामुळे शहरातील लोक फार आनंदित झाले.
9 शिमोन नावाचा मनुष्य त्या नगरात राहत होता. तो जादूचे प्रयोग करीत असे. त्याच्या प्रयोगांमुळे लोक आश्चर्यचकित होत असत. तो स्वतःला फार मोठा समजत असे. 10 अगदी लहानापासून थोरापर्यंत लोक लक्षपूर्वक त्याचे ऐकत. ते म्हणत असत. “देवाची महान शक्ति असे ज्याला म्हणतात तोच हा मनुष्य आहे!” 11 त्याने आपल्या जादूमुळे बराच काळपर्यंत लोकांना चकीत केले असल्याने लोक त्याच्याकडे लक्ष देत असत. 12 परंतु जेव्हा देवाच्या राज्याविषयीची सुवार्ता आणि येशू ख्रिस्ताचे नाव फिलिप्पाने त्या लोकांना सांगितले तेव्हा त्यांनी त्याच्यावर विश्वास ठेवला. तेव्हा लोकांना बाप्तिस्मा देण्यात आला. त्यांच्यात जसे पुरुष होते तशा स्त्रियाही होत्या. 13 स्वतः शिमोनाने विश्वास ठेवला आणि त्याचा बाप्तिस्मा झाल्यावर तो फिलिप्प बरोबर राहू लागला. आणि झालेले चमत्कार आणि अद्भुत चिन्हे पाहून शिमोन आश्चर्याने थक्क झाला.
14 यरुशलेममधील प्रेषितांनी हे ऐकले की शोमरोनातील लोकांनी देवाच्या वचनाचा स्वीकार केला, म्हणून पेत्र व योहान यांना प्रेषितांनी शोमरोनातील लोकांकडे पाठविले. 15 जेव्हा पेत्र व योहान आले. तेव्हा त्यांनी शोमरोनी विश्वासणाऱ्यांना पवित्र आत्मा मिळावा म्हणून प्रार्थना केली. 16 या लोकांचा प्रभु येशूच्या नावात बाप्तिस्मा झाला होता, परंतु पवित्र आत्मा अजून त्यांच्यावर आला नव्हता. 17 मग पेत्र व योहान यांनी त्यांच्या डोक्यावर हात ठेवला आणि त्यांना पवित्र आत्मा मिळाला.
18 शिमोनाने पाहिले की, प्रेषितांच्या हात ठेवण्याने लोकांना पवित्र आत्मा मिळाला, तेव्हा शिमोन प्रेषितांना पैसे देऊ लागला. 19 शिमोन म्हणाला, “मी ज्याच्यावर हात ठेवीन त्याला पवित्र आत्मा मिळेल, अशी शक्ति मला सुध्दा द्या.”
20 पेत्र शिमोनाला म्हणाला, “तुझा व तुइया पैशाचा नाश होवो! कारण, देवाचे दान पैशाच्या बळावर विकत घेण्याचा तू विचार केलास! 21 या कामात तू आमचा सहभागी होऊ शकणार नाहीस. कारण तुझे अंतःकरण देवासमोर योग्य नाही. 22 आपले ह्रदय बदल, तू ज्या या वाईट गोष्टी केल्या आहेत, त्या सोडून दे. प्रभूला (देवाला) प्रार्थना कर. कदाचित तुइया पश्चात्तप्त अंतःकरणामुळे तो तुला क्षमा करील. 23 कारण तुइया मनात कटू मत्सर भरलेला आहे. व तू पापाचा दास झालेला आहेस, हे मला दिसून आले आहे!”
24 शिमोनाने उत्तर दिले, “आपण दोघेही माइयासाठी देवाजवळ प्रार्थना करावी. यासाठी की, ज्या गोष्टीबद्दल तुम्ही बोललात त्यापैकी एकही गोष्ट माइयावर न येवो!”
25 नंतर दोन्ही प्रेषितांनी आपली साक्ष लोकांना दिली (जे त्यांनी येशूला करताना पाहिले होते ते सांगितले.) त्यांनी प्रभुचा संदेश त्यांना सांगितला. मग ते यरुशलेमला परत गेले. परत येताना वाटेत त्यांनी अनेक शोमरोनी गावांत सुवार्ता सांगितली.
इथिओपियाच्या मनुष्याला फिलिप्पा शिक्षण देतो
26 देवाचा दूत फिलाप्पाशी बोलला, तो म्हणाला “तयार हो आणि दक्षिणेकडे जा, यरुशलेमहून गाझाकडे जाणाऱ्या रस्त्याने जा-तो रस्ता वाळवंटातून जातो.”
27 मग फिलिप्प तयार झाला व गेला. रस्त्यात त्याला एक इथिओपियाचा मनुष्य भेटला, तो मनुष्य षंढ होता. तो इथिओपियाच्या कांदके राणीकडे उच्च पदावर अधिकारी म्हणून कामाला होता. तो राणीच्या खजिन्याचा मुख्य होता. तो यरुशलेमला उपासना करण्यासाठी गेला होता. 28 आता तो आपल्या घरी चालला होता. तो त्याच्या रथात बसला होता आणि यशया संदेष्टयाचे पुस्तक वाचत होता.
29 पवित्र आत्मा फिलिप्पाला म्हणाला, “त्या रथाजवळ जा!” 30 मग फिलिप्प त्या रथाजवळ धावत धावत गेला, तेव्हा तो मनुष्य वाचत असताना त्याने ऐकले, फिलिप्प त्याला म्हणाला, “तुम्ही जे वाचत आहात, त्याचा अर्थ तुम्हांला कळतो का?”
31 तो अधिकारी म्हणाला, “मला हे कसे समजेल? कोणीतरी याचा उलगडा करुन मला सांगायला हवे.” आणि त्याने फिलिप्पाला रथात चढून आपल्यापाशी बसण्यास बोलाविले. 32 पवित्र शास्त्रातील जो भाग तो वाचत होता, तो भाग पुढीलप्रमाणे होता:
“वधायला नेत असलेल्या मेंढरासारखा तो होता.
लोकर कातरणाऱ्यांपुढे गप्प राहणाऱ्या मेंढराप्रमाणे तो शांत राहिला.
त्याने आपले तोंड उघडले नाही.
33 त्याला लज्जित केले गेले, त्याचे हक्क काढून घेतले गेले.
त्याच्या पिढीविषयी कोणतीही गोष्ट पुढे वर्णीली जाणार नाही.
कारण पृथ्वीवरील त्याचे जीवन संपविले गेले आहे.” (A)
34 तो अधिकारी फिलिप्पाला म्हणाला, “क्रुपा करुन मला सांगा, भविष्यवादी हे कोणाविषयी बोलतो आहे? तो स्वतःविषयी बोलत आहे की दुसन्या कोणाविषयी बोलत आहे?” 35 मग फिलिप्पाने तोंड उघडले व पवित्र शास्त्रातील या भागापासून सुरुवात करुन येशूविषयीची सुवार्ता त्याला सांगितली.
36 ते दोघे प्रवास करीत असताना एका पाण्याच्या ठिकाणाजवळ (तळ्याजवळ) आले. अधिकारी म्हणाला, “पहा! येथे पाणी आहे! माझा बाप्तिस्मा करायला कोणती अडचण आहे?” 37 [b] 38 आणि षंढाने रथ थांबविण्याची आज्ञा केली. नंतर फिलिप्प व षंढ हे दोघे उतरुन पाण्यात गेले आणि फिलिप्पाने त्याचा बाप्तिस्मा केला. 39 जेव्हा ते पाण्याबाहेर आले, तेव्हा प्रभूच्या आत्म्याने फिलिप्पाला दूर नेले आणि त्या अधिकाऱ्याला फिलिप्प पुन्हा दिसला नाही. पण तो अधिकारी पुढे तसाच मोठ्या आनंदाने प्रवास करीत घरी गेला. 40 आपण अजोत नगरात आहोत असे फिलिप्पाला दिसून आले आणि पुढे जात असताना जी गावे लागली त्या सर्व गावात त्याने सुवार्ता सांगितली. नंतर तो कैसरीयाला गेला.

Acts 8
New International Version
8 And Saul(A) approved of their killing him.
The Church Persecuted and Scattered
On that day a great persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered(B) throughout Judea and Samaria.(C) 2 Godly men buried Stephen and mourned deeply for him. 3 But Saul(D) began to destroy the church.(E) Going from house to house, he dragged off both men and women and put them in prison.
Philip in Samaria
4 Those who had been scattered(F) preached the word wherever they went.(G) 5 Philip(H) went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Messiah there. 6 When the crowds heard Philip and saw the signs he performed, they all paid close attention to what he said. 7 For with shrieks, impure spirits came out of many,(I) and many who were paralyzed or lame were healed.(J) 8 So there was great joy in that city.
Simon the Sorcerer
9 Now for some time a man named Simon had practiced sorcery(K) in the city and amazed all the people of Samaria. He boasted that he was someone great,(L) 10 and all the people, both high and low, gave him their attention and exclaimed, “This man is rightly called the Great Power of God.”(M) 11 They followed him because he had amazed them for a long time with his sorcery. 12 But when they believed Philip as he proclaimed the good news of the kingdom of God(N) and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized,(O) both men and women. 13 Simon himself believed and was baptized. And he followed Philip everywhere, astonished by the great signs and miracles(P) he saw.
14 When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria(Q) had accepted the word of God,(R) they sent Peter and John(S) to Samaria. 15 When they arrived, they prayed for the new believers there that they might receive the Holy Spirit,(T) 16 because the Holy Spirit had not yet come on any of them;(U) they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.(V) 17 Then Peter and John placed their hands on them,(W) and they received the Holy Spirit.(X)
18 When Simon saw that the Spirit was given at the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money 19 and said, “Give me also this ability so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”
20 Peter answered: “May your money perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money!(Y) 21 You have no part or share(Z) in this ministry, because your heart is not right(AA) before God. 22 Repent(AB) of this wickedness and pray to the Lord in the hope that he may forgive you for having such a thought in your heart. 23 For I see that you are full of bitterness and captive to sin.”
24 Then Simon answered, “Pray to the Lord for me(AC) so that nothing you have said may happen to me.”
25 After they had further proclaimed the word of the Lord(AD) and testified about Jesus, Peter and John returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many Samaritan villages.(AE)
Philip and the Ethiopian
26 Now an angel(AF) of the Lord said to Philip,(AG) “Go south to the road—the desert road—that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” 27 So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian[a](AH) eunuch,(AI) an important official in charge of all the treasury of the Kandake (which means “queen of the Ethiopians”). This man had gone to Jerusalem to worship,(AJ) 28 and on his way home was sitting in his chariot reading the Book of Isaiah the prophet. 29 The Spirit told(AK) Philip, “Go to that chariot and stay near it.”
30 Then Philip ran up to the chariot and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked.
31 “How can I,” he said, “unless someone explains it to me?” So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
32 This is the passage of Scripture the eunuch was reading:
“He was led like a sheep to the slaughter,
and as a lamb before its shearer is silent,
so he did not open his mouth.
33 In his humiliation he was deprived of justice.
Who can speak of his descendants?
For his life was taken from the earth.”[b](AL)
34 The eunuch asked Philip, “Tell me, please, who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?” 35 Then Philip began(AM) with that very passage of Scripture(AN) and told him the good news(AO) about Jesus.
36 As they traveled along the road, they came to some water and the eunuch said, “Look, here is water. What can stand in the way of my being baptized?”(AP) [37] [c] 38 And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him. 39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away,(AQ) and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. 40 Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns(AR) until he reached Caesarea.(AS)

8 And Rav Sha’ul was giving approval to the murder of Stefanos. And there came about in that day a great pogrom keneged (against) the Brit Chadasha Kehillah in Yerushalayim, and everyone was scattered throughout the regions of Yehudah and Shomron except the Moshiach’s Shlichim.
2 And chasidim came and gave kevurah (burial) to Stefanos and they made loud lamentation over him.
3 But Rav Sha’ul was making havoc of the Moshiach’s Kehillah, barging in bais by bais, dragging off both anashim and nashim, and delivering them over to the beis hasohar.
4 The ones therefore having been scattered went about preaching the dvar Hashem.
5 Now Philippos [Ac 6:5], having gone down to the city of Shomron, was preaching to them the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
6 And the multitudes with one accord were paying attention to the things being said by Philippos, as they heard him and saw the otot which he was accomplishing.
7 For many had ruchot teme’ot coming out, crying out with a kol gadol, and many having been paralyzed and many pisechim (lame ones) were given refu’ah shleimah.
8 And there was great simchah in that city.
9 Now a certain ish by name Shimon was previously in the city practicing magic and astonishing the people of Shomron, saying that he himself was an ish of gadlus (with remarkable superiority) and gadol.
10 And to this certain Shimon everyone from katon to gadol was paying attention, saying, "Hinei! This man is the ko’ach (power) of Hashem, the ko’ach hagadol."
11 And they were giving heed to him, because he for a long time had astonished them by magic tricks.
12 But when they had emunah (faith) in what Philippos preached about the Malchut Hashem and the Shem of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, they, both anashim and nashim, were submitting to Moshiach’s tevilah of teshuva.
13 And Shimon himself also had emunah, and, having submitted to Moshiach’s tevilah of teshuva, was following Philippos, and, seeing otot and nifla’ot and moftim hagedolim taking place, he was constantly mishpoyel (standing in awe).
14 And when Moshiach’s Shlichim heard in Yerushalayim that Shomron has accepted the dvar Hashem, they sent Kefa and Yochanan to them,
15 Who, having come down, davened for them that they might receive the Ruach Hakodesh.
16 For the Ruach Hakodesh had not yet fallen upon any one of them, but only they had received a tevilah of teshuva in a mikveh mayim b’Shem Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Adoneinu.
17 Then Kefa and Yochanan were laying their hands upon them, and they were receiving the Ruach Hakodesh.
18 And when Shimon saw that through the laying on of hands of Moshiach’s Shlichim that the Ruach Hakodesh is given, he brought to them kesef,
19 Saying, "Give me also this samchut that on whomever I may lay my hands such may receive the Ruach Hakodesh."
20 But Kefa said to him, "May your kesef perish with you because the matnat Hashem you thought by kesef to acquire. [2Kg 5:16; Dt 5:17]
21 "There is not to you a chelek (allotted portion) nor share in this matter, for your lev (heart) is krum (deviant) and not upright before Hashem. [Neh 2:20; Ps 78:37]
22 "Therefore make teshuva from your wickedness and daven (pray) to Hashem if efsher (perhaps) you will receive selicha (forgiveness) for the intent of your lev,
23 "For I see you are in bitter gall and the bond of haresha." [Dt 29:18 TARGUM HASHIVIM; Jer 4:18; Isa 58:6]
24 And in reply Shimon said, "Daven for me to Hashem that nothing may come upon me of which you have spoken." [SHEMOT 8:8; BAMIDBAR 21:7; MELACHIM ALEF 13:6; YIRMEYAH 42:2]
25 The ones then having testified and spoken the dvar Adonoi were returning to Yerushalayim and to many villages of the Shomronim preaching the Besuras HaGeulah.
26 And a malach Adonoi spoke to Philippos, saying, "Get up and go south on the derech going down from Yerushalayim to Gaza." This is desert.
27 And having got up, Philippos went. And, hinei, an Ethiopian man, a eunuch, a court official of the Kandake of the Ethiopians! He was over all of her Otzrot (treasury) and had come worshipping to Yerushalayim, [Ps 68:31; 87:4; Zeph 3:10; Isa 56:3-5; 1Kgs 8:41-43]
28 And he was returning and sitting in his chariot and he was reading Yeshayah HaNavi.
29 And the Ruach Hakodesh said to Philippos, "Approach and join this chariot."
30 And having run, Philippos heard him reading Yeshayah HaNavi, and Philippos said, "So do you have binah of what you are reading?"
31 And he said, "How then might I be able, unless someone will guide me?" And he invited Philippos to come up and sit with him.
32 Now the keta (section) of the Tanakh which he was reading was this: KASEH LATEVACH YUVAL ("He [Moshiach] was led as a lamb to the slaughter") and as a Seh (Lamb, YESHAYAH 53:7) before the one having sheared it is silent, LO YIFTACH PIV ("He does not open his mouth").
33 ‘In humiliation his justice was taken away. The descendants of him who will tell? Because he is taken away from HA’ARETZ CHAYYIM.' [Isa 53:7,8; 57:7f TARGUM HASHIVIM]
34 And in reply the eunuch said to Philippos, "I ask you about whom the Navi (prophet) says this? About himself or about some other person?"
35 And having opened his mouth, and beginning from this keta (section) of the Kitvei Hakodesh, Philippos began to preach and fier ois (elucidate) Yehoshua/Yeshua to him.
36 And as they were going along the derech, they came upon some mayim and the eunuch says, "Hinei, mayim! What prevents me from being given Moshiach’s tevilah of teshuva in the mikveh mayim?"
37 [And Philippos said, “If you have emunah b’chol levavcha, it is mutar. And he answered, saying, Ani ma’amin ki Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua Ben HaElohim hu.]
38 And he commanded the chariot to stop and both went down into the mikveh mayim, both Philippos and the eunuch, and Philippos gave him Moshiach’s tevilah of teshuva in the mikveh mayim.
39 And when they came up from the mikveh mayim, the Ruach Hakodesh of Hashem took Philippos away, and the eunuch did not see him any longer, but was going on his way with lev same’ach. [1Kgs 18:12; 2Kgs 2:16; Ezek 3:12,14; 8:3; 11:1,24; 43:5]
40 But Philippos was found in Ashdod, and passing through, he was preaching the Besuras HaGeulah to all the towns until he came to
