使徒行传 9
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
扫罗归主
9 扫罗继续用凶狠的话恐吓主的门徒。他去见大祭司， 2 要取得授权书到大马士革的各会堂搜捕信耶稣的人，无论男女，都要把他们押回耶路撒冷。
3 当他快到大马士革的时候，突然有一道光从天上射下来，四面照着他。 4 他倒在地上，听见有声音对他说：“扫罗！扫罗！你为什么迫害我？” 5 他说：“主啊，你是谁？”那声音说：“我就是你所迫害的耶稣。 6 起来！进城去，有人会告诉你该做的事。”
7 同行的人站在那里只听见声音，却看不见人，吓得张口结舌。 8 扫罗爬起来，睁大眼睛，却什么也看不见，同伴拉着他的手进了大马士革。 9 一连三天，扫罗什么也看不见，也不吃也不喝。
10 这时候，在大马士革有个门徒名叫亚拿尼亚，他在异象中听见主呼唤他的名字，就回答说：“主啊，我在这里。”
11 主说：“起来，到直街的犹大家去见一个来自大数、名叫扫罗的人，他正在向我祷告。 12 我让他在异象中看见一个名叫亚拿尼亚的人去他那里，把手按在他身上，使他恢复视力。”
13 亚拿尼亚回答说：“主啊！我听见许多人说他对耶路撒冷的信徒大加迫害。 14 他来这里是得到祭司长的授权，要拘捕所有求告你名的人。”
15 主对亚拿尼亚说：“你放心去吧！他是我拣选的器皿，要向外族人、君王和以色列人宣扬我的名。 16 我会让他知道他必为我的名而受许多的苦。”
17 亚拿尼亚去了，进了那家，就把手按在扫罗身上，说：“扫罗弟兄，在你来的路上向你显现的主耶稣派我来使你重见光明、被圣灵充满。” 18 顿时，扫罗的眼睛上有鳞片似的东西脱落，他立刻恢复了视力，便起来接受了洗礼。 19 他吃过东西之后，体力也恢复了。他和大马士革的门徒住了几天之后， 20 便到各会堂去宣讲：“耶稣是上帝的儿子。”
21 听的人都大吃一惊，说：“他不就是那在耶路撒冷迫害信徒的人吗？他到这里来不是要把大马士革的信徒押去见祭司长吗？”
22 但扫罗越发有能力，引经据典证明耶稣是基督，使大马士革的犹太人惊慌失措。
扫罗逃生
23 过了一段日子，犹太人图谋杀死扫罗。 24 他们昼夜在城门守候，伺机下手，但这阴谋被扫罗知道了。 25 他的门徒趁夜间用筐子把他从城墙上缒下去。
26 扫罗逃到耶路撒冷后，曾设法与当地的门徒联络，可是他们都怕他，不相信他是门徒。 27 只有巴拿巴接待他，带他去见使徒，向他们陈述扫罗如何在路上遇见主，主如何对他说话，他又如何勇敢地在大马士革奉耶稣的名传道。 28 于是，扫罗就在耶路撒冷与使徒一起出入来往，奉主的名放胆传道。 29 他常常跟那些讲希腊话的犹太人辩论，于是他们打算杀掉他。 30 弟兄姊妹知道这消息后，就把扫罗带到凯撒利亚，然后送他到大数去。
31 当时，犹太、加利利、撒玛利亚各地的教会都很平安，得到了坚固。信徒们非常敬畏主，又得到圣灵的安慰，人数越来越多。
彼得医治瘫子
32 彼得四处奔波，来到吕大探访那里的信徒， 33 遇见一个已经卧床八年、名叫以尼雅的瘫子。 34 彼得对他说：“以尼雅，耶稣基督已经医好你了，起来收拾你的垫子吧！”他立刻应声而起。 35 吕大和沙仑的居民看见他，都归向了主。
彼得使死人复活
36 在约帕有个乐善好施的女信徒名叫戴碧达，希腊话叫多加，意思是“羚羊”。 37 当时，她患病死了。有人将她的尸体洗干净后，停放在楼上。 38 吕大和约帕相距不远，门徒听说彼得在吕大，就派两个人赶去请他立刻来约帕。 39 彼得便随他们一同到了那里，有人领他上楼。众寡妇都站在彼得周围哭，并把多加生前缝制的内衣、外衣给他看。
40 彼得叫她们都出去，自己跪下祷告，然后转身对死者说：“戴碧达，起来！”她便睁开了眼睛，看见彼得，就坐了起来。 41 彼得伸手扶她起来后，叫那些在外面等候的门徒和寡妇进来，把活过来的多加交给他们。 42 这事传遍了整个约帕，许多人都信了主。 43 彼得继续留在约帕，在当地一个名叫西门的皮革匠家住了好些日子。
Acts 9
Lexham English Bible
Saul’s Conversion on the Damascus Road
9 But Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest 2 and[a] asked for letters from him to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, both men and women, he could bring them[b] tied up[c] to Jerusalem. 3 Now as he proceeded, it happened that when he approached Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. 4 And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?” 5 So he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And he said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting! 6 But get up and enter into the city, and it will be told to you what you must do.”[d] 7 (Now the men who were traveling together with him stood speechless, because they[e] heard the voice but saw no one.) 8 So Saul got up from the ground, but although[f] his eyes were open he could see nothing. And leading him by the hand, they brought him into Damascus. 9 And he was unable to see[g] for three days, and he did not eat or drink.
Ananias Sent to Saul
10 Now there was a certain disciple in Damascus named[h] Ananias, and the Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” And he said, “Behold, here I am, Lord!” 11 And the Lord said to him, “Get up, go to the street called ‘Straight’ and in the house of Judas look for a man named Saul from Tarsus.[i] For behold, he is praying, 12 and he has seen in a vision a man named[j] Ananias coming in and placing hands[k] on him so that he may regain his sight.” 13 But Ananias replied, “Lord, I have heard from many people about this man, how much harm he has done to your saints in Jerusalem, 14 and here he has authority from the chief priests to tie up[l] all who call upon your name!” 15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, because this man is my chosen instrument to carry my name before Gentiles[m] and kings and the sons 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 into the house, and placing his[n] hands on him, 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 and got up and[o] was baptized, 19 and after[p] taking food, he regained his strength. And he was with the disciples in Damascus several days.
Saul Proclaims Christ in Damascus
20 And immediately he began proclaiming[q] Jesus in the synagogues: “This one is the Son of God!” 21 And all who heard him[r] were amazed, and were saying, “Is this not the one who was wreaking havoc in Jerusalem on those who call upon this name, and had come here for this reason, that he could bring them tied up[s] to the chief priests?” 22 But Saul was increasing in strength even more, and was confounding the Jews who lived in Damascus by[t] proving that this one is the Christ.[u]
23 And when many days had elapsed, the Jews plotted to do away with him. 24 But their plot became known to Saul, and they were also watching the gates both day and night so that they could do away with him. 25 But his disciples took him[v] at night and[w] let him down through the wall by[x] lowering him[y] in a basket.
Saul in Jerusalem
26 And when he[z] arrived in Jerusalem, he was attempting to associate with the disciples, and they were all afraid of him, because they[aa] did not believe that he was a disciple. 27 But Barnabas took him and[ab] brought him[ac] to the apostles and related to them how he had seen the Lord on the road and that he had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus. 28 And he was going in and going out among them in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. 29 And he was speaking and debating with the Greek-speaking Jews,[ad] but they were trying to do away with him. 30 And when[ae] the brothers found out, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus.
31 Then the church throughout all of Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being strengthened. And living in the fear of the Lord and the encouragement of the Holy Spirit, it was increasing in numbers.[af]
Aeneas Healed
32 Now it happened that as[ag] Peter was traveling through all the places,[ah] he also came down to the saints who lived in Lydda. 33 And he found there a certain man named[ai] Aeneas who was paralyzed, who had been lying on a mat[aj] for eight years. 34 And Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you! Get up and make your bed yourself!” And immediately he got up. 35 And all those who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him, who all[ak] indeed turned to the Lord.
Dorcas Raised
36 Now in Joppa there was a certain female disciple named[al] Tabitha (which translated means “Dorcas”).[am] She was full of good deeds and charitable giving which she was constantly doing.[an] 37 Now it happened that in those days after[ao] becoming sick, she died. And after[ap] washing her,[aq] they placed her in an upstairs room. 38 And because[ar] Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, when they[as] heard that Peter was in Lydda,[at] sent two men to him, urging, “Do not delay to come to us!” 39 So Peter got up and[au] accompanied them. When he[av] arrived, they brought him[aw] up to the upstairs room, and all the widows came to him, weeping and showing him[ax] tunics and other clothing that Dorcas used to make while she[ay] was with them. 40 But Peter sent them all outside, and, falling to his[az] knees, he prayed. And turning toward the body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” And she opened her eyes, and when she[ba] saw Peter, she sat up. 41 And he gave her his hand and[bb] raised her up. And he called the saints and the widows and[bc] presented her alive. 42 And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord. 43 And it happened that he stayed many days in Joppa with a certain Simon, a tanner.[bd]

Actes 9
Louis Segond
9 Cependant Saul, respirant encore la menace et le meurtre contre les disciples du Seigneur, se rendit chez le souverain sacrificateur,
2 et lui demanda des lettres pour les synagogues de Damas, afin que, s'il trouvait des partisans de la nouvelle doctrine, hommes ou femmes, il les amenât liés à Jérusalem.
3 Comme il était en chemin, et qu'il approchait de Damas, tout à coup une lumière venant du ciel resplendit autour de lui.
4 Il tomba par terre, et il entendit une voix qui lui disait: Saul, Saul, pourquoi me persécutes-tu?
5 Il répondit: Qui es-tu, Seigneur? Et le Seigneur dit: Je suis Jésus que tu persécutes. Il te serait dur de regimber contre les aiguillons.
6 Tremblant et saisi d'effroi, il dit: Seigneur, que veux-tu que je fasse? Et le Seigneur lui dit: Lève-toi, entre dans la ville, et on te dira ce que tu dois faire.
7 Les hommes qui l'accompagnaient demeurèrent stupéfaits; ils entendaient bien la voix, mais ils ne voyaient personne.
8 Saul se releva de terre, et, quoique ses yeux fussent ouverts, il ne voyait rien; on le prit par la main, et on le conduisit à Damas.
9 Il resta trois jours sans voir, et il ne mangea ni ne but.
10 Or, il y avait à Damas un disciple nommé Ananias. Le Seigneur lui dit dans une vision: Ananias! Il répondit: Me voici, Seigneur!
11 Et le Seigneur lui dit: Lève-toi, va dans la rue qu'on appelle la droite, et cherche, dans la maison de Judas, un nommé Saul de Tarse.
12 Car il prie, et il a vu en vision un homme du nom d'Ananias, qui entrait, et qui lui imposait les mains, afin qu'il recouvrât la vue. Ananias répondit:
13 Seigneur, j'ai appris de plusieurs personnes tous les maux que cet homme a faits à tes saints dans Jérusalem;
14 et il a ici des pouvoirs, de la part des principaux sacrificateurs, pour lier tous ceux qui invoquent ton nom.
15 Mais le Seigneur lui dit: Va, car cet homme est un instrument que j'ai choisi, pour porter mon nom devant les nations, devant les rois, et devant les fils d'Israël;
16 et je lui montrerai tout ce qu'il doit souffrir pour mon nom.
17 Ananias sortit; et, lorsqu'il fut arrivé dans la maison, il imposa les mains à Saul, en disant: Saul, mon frère, le Seigneur Jésus, qui t'est apparu sur le chemin par lequel tu venais, m'a envoyé pour que tu recouvres la vue et que tu sois rempli du Saint Esprit.
18 Au même instant, il tomba de ses yeux comme des écailles, et il recouvra la vue. Il se leva, et fut baptisé;
19 et, après qu'il eut pris de la nourriture, les forces lui revinrent. Saul resta quelques jours avec les disciples qui étaient à Damas.
20 Et aussitôt il prêcha dans les synagogues que Jésus est le Fils de Dieu.
21 Tous ceux qui l'entendaient étaient dans l'étonnement, et disaient: N'est-ce pas celui qui persécutait à Jérusalem ceux qui invoquent ce nom, et n'est-il pas venu ici pour les emmener liés devant les principaux sacrificateurs?
22 Cependant Saul se fortifiait de plus en plus, et il confondait les Juifs qui habitaient Damas, démontrant que Jésus est le Christ.
23 Au bout d'un certain temps, les Juifs se concertèrent pour le tuer,
24 et leur complot parvint à la connaissance de Saul. On gardait les portes jour et nuit, afin de lui ôter la vie.
25 Mais, pendant une nuit, les disciples le prirent, et le descendirent par la muraille, dans une corbeille.
26 Lorsqu'il se rendit à Jérusalem, Saul tâcha de se joindre à eux; mais tous le craignaient, ne croyant pas qu'il fût un disciple.
27 Alors Barnabas, l'ayant pris avec lui, le conduisit vers les apôtres, et leur raconta comment sur le chemin Saul avait vu le Seigneur, qui lui avait parlé, et comment à Damas il avait prêché franchement au nom de Jésus.
28 Il allait et venait avec eux dans Jérusalem, et s'exprimait en toute assurance au nom du Seigneur.
29 Il parlait aussi et disputait avec les Hellénistes; mais ceux-ci cherchaient à lui ôter la vie.
30 Les frères, l'ayant su, l'emmenèrent à Césarée, et le firent partir pour Tarse.
31 L'Église était en paix dans toute la Judée, la Galilée et la Samarie, s'édifiant et marchant dans la crainte du Seigneur, et elle s'accroissait par l'assistance du Saint Esprit.
32 Comme Pierre visitait tous les saints, il descendit aussi vers ceux qui demeuraient à Lydde.
33 Il y trouva un homme nommé Énée, couché sur un lit depuis huit ans, et paralytique.
34 Pierre lui dit: Énée, Jésus Christ te guérit; lève-toi, et arrange ton lit. Et aussitôt il se leva.
35 Tous les habitants de Lydde et du Saron le virent, et ils se convertirent au Seigneur.
36 Il y avait à Joppé, parmi les disciples, une femme nommée Tabitha, ce qui signifie Dorcas: elle faisait beaucoup de bonnes oeuvres et d'aumônes.
37 Elle tomba malade en ce temps-là, et mourut. Après l'avoir lavée, on la déposa dans une chambre haute.
38 Comme Lydde est près de Joppé, les disciples, ayant appris que Pierre s'y trouvait, envoyèrent deux hommes vers lui, pour le prier de venir chez eux sans tarder.
39 Pierre se leva, et partit avec ces hommes. Lorsqu'il fut arrivé, on le conduisit dans la chambre haute. Toutes les veuves l'entourèrent en pleurant, et lui montrèrent les tuniques et les vêtements que faisait Dorcas pendant qu'elle était avec elles.
40 Pierre fit sortir tout le monde, se mit à genoux, et pria; puis, se tournant vers le corps, il dit: Tabitha, lève-toi! Elle ouvrit les yeux, et ayant vu Pierre, elle s'assit.
41 Il lui donna la main, et la fit lever. Il appela ensuite les saints et les veuves, et la leur présenta vivante.
42 Cela fut connu de tout Joppé, et beaucoup crurent au Seigneur.
43 Pierre demeura quelque temps à Joppé, chez un corroyeur nommé Simon.
