New Testament in Greek (UBS.Ed.26) |
|
|
| 6 | I was on the road and nearing Damascus, when suddenly about midday a great light flashed from the sky all around me, | | Ἐγένετο δέ μοι πορευομένῳ καὶ ἐγγίζοντι τῇ Δαμασκῷ περὶ μεσημβρίαν ἐξαίφνης ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ περιαστράψαι φῶς ἱκανὸν περὶ ἐμέ, |
|
| 7 | and I fell to the ground. Then I heard a voice saying to me, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" | | ἐπεσά τε εἰς τὸ ἐδαφος καὶ ἠκουσα φωνῆς λεγούσης μοι, Σαοὺλ Σαούλ, τί με διώκεις; |
|
| 8 | I answered, "Tell me. Lord, who you are." "I am Jesus of Nazareth," he said, "whom you are persecuting." | | ἐγὼ δὲ ἀπεκρίθην, Τίς εἶ, κύριὲ; εἶπέν τε πρός με, Ἐγώ εἰμι Ἰησοῦς ὁ Ναζωραῖος ὃν σὺ διώκεις. |
|
| 9 | My companions saw the light, but did not hear the voice that spoke to me. | | οἱ δὲ σὺν ἐμοὶ ὄντες τὸ μὲν φῶς ἐθεάσαντο τὴν δὲ φωνὴν οὐκ ἠκουσαν τοῦ λαλοῦντός μοι. |
|
| 10 | "What shall I do, Lord?" I said, and the Lord replied, "Get up and continue your journey to Damascus; there you will be told of all the tasks that are laid upon you." | | εἶπον δέ, Τί ποιήσω, κύριὲ; ὁ δὲ κύριος εἶπεν πρός με, Ἀναστὰς πορεύου εἰς Δαμασκόν, κἀκεῖ σοι λαληθήσεται περὶ πάντων ὧν τέτακταί σοι ποιῆσαι. |
|
| 11 | As I had been blinded by the brilliance of that light, my companions led me by the hand, and so I came to Damascus.
| | ὡς δὲ οὐκ ἐνέβλεπον ἀπὸ τῆς δόξης τοῦ φωτὸς ἐκείνου, χειραγωγούμενος ὑπὸ τῶν συνόντων μοι ἦλθον εἰς Δαμασκόν. |
|
| 12 | 'There, a man called Ananias, a devout observer of the Law and well spoken of by all the Jews of that place, | | Ἀνανίας δέ τις, ἀνὴρ εὐλαβὴς κατὰ τὸν νόμον, μαρτυρούμενος ὑπὸ πάντων τῶν κατοικούντων Ἰουδαίων, |
|
| 13 | came and stood beside me and said, "Saul, my brother, recover your sight." | | ἐλθὼν πρός με καὶ ἐπιστὰς εἶπέν μοι, Σαοὺλ ἀδελφέ, ἀνάβλεψον· κἀγὼ αὐτῇ τῇ ὡρᾳ ἀνέβλεψα εἰς αὐτόν. |
|
| 14 | Instantly I recovered my sight and saw him. He went on: "The God of our fathers appointed you to know his will and to see the Righteous One and to hear his very voice, | | ὁ δὲ εἶπεν, Ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν προεχειρίσατό σε γνῶναι τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ καὶ ἰδεῖν τὸν δίκαιον καὶ ἀκοῦσαι φωνὴν ἐκ τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ, |
|
| 15 | because you are to be his witness before the world, and testify to what you have seen and heard. | | ὁτι ἐσῃ μάρτυς αὐτῷ πρὸς πάντας ἀνθρώπους ὧν ἑώρακας καὶ ἠκουσας. |
|
| 16 | And now why delay? Be baptized at once, with invocation of his name, and wash away your sins."
| | καὶ νῦν τί μέλλεις; ἀναστὰς βάπτισαι καὶ ἀπόλουσαι τὰς ἀμαρτίας σου ἐπικαλεσάμενος τὸ ὀνομα αὐτοῦ. |
