1“Manne, broers en vaders, luister nou na my verdediging teenoor julle.”Ἄνδρες ἀδελφοὶ καὶ πατέρες, ἀκούσατέ μου τῆς πρὸς ὑμᾶς νυνὶ ἀπολογίας.“Brothers and fathers, listen now to my defense before you.”

2Toe hulle hoor dat hy in die Hebreeuse taal met hulle praat, het hulle nog meer stilte gehou. En hy sê:Ἀκούσαντες δὲ ὅτι τῇ Ἑβραΐδι διαλέκτῳ προσεφώνει αὐτοῖς μᾶλλον παρέσχον ἡσυχίαν. καὶ φησίν·When they heard him speak to them in Hebrew, they became even more silent. Then Paul declared, 3“Ek is 'n Joodse man, gebore in Tarsus in Silisië, maar grootgemaak in hierdie stad aan die voete van Gamaliël, onderrig volgens die noukeurigheid van die vaderlike wet, 'n ywerer vir God soos julle almal vandag is,⸀Ἐγώ εἰμι ἀνὴρ Ἰουδαῖος, γεγεννημένος ἐν Ταρσῷ τῆς Κιλικίας, ἀνατεθραμμένος δὲ ἐν τῇ πόλει ταύτῃ παρὰ τοὺς πόδας Γαμαλιήλ, πεπαιδευμένος κατὰ ἀκρίβειαν τοῦ πατρῴου νόμου, ζηλωτὴς ὑπάρχων τοῦ θεοῦ καθὼς πάντες ὑμεῖς ἐστε σήμερον,“I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but raised in this city. I was educated at the feet of Gamaliel in strict conformity to the law of our fathers. I was just as zealous for God as any of you are today. 4ek wat hierdie Weg vervolg het tot by die dood, deur mans sowel as vroue te bind en in tronke oor te lewer,ὃς ταύτην τὴν ὁδὸν ἐδίωξα ἄχρι θανάτου, δεσμεύων καὶ παραδιδοὺς εἰς φυλακὰς ἄνδρας τε καὶ γυναῖκας,I persecuted this Way even to the death, detaining both men and women and throwing them into prison, 5soos ook die hoëpriester vir my getuig en die hele raad van ouderlinge. Van hulle het ek ook briewe ontvang vir die broers, en ek was op pad na Damaskus om ook die mense wat daar gebind was, na Jerusalem te bring sodat hulle gestraf kon word.ὡς καὶ ὁ ἀρχιερεὺς μαρτυρεῖ μοι καὶ πᾶν τὸ πρεσβυτέριον· παρʼ ὧν καὶ ἐπιστολὰς δεξάμενος πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς εἰς Δαμασκὸν ἐπορευόμην ἄξων καὶ τοὺς ἐκεῖσε ὄντας δεδεμένους εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ ἵνα τιμωρηθῶσιν.as the high priest and the whole Council can testify about me. I even obtained letters from them to their brothers in Damascus, and I was on my way to apprehend these people and bring them to Jerusalem to be punished.

6Terwyl ek op reis was en naby Damaskus kom, het dit omtrent die middag gebeur dat 'n sterk lig uit die hemel skielik rondom my geblits het,Ἐγένετο δέ μοι πορευομένῳ καὶ ἐγγίζοντι τῇ Δαμασκῷ περὶ μεσημβρίαν ἐξαίφνης ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ περιαστράψαι φῶς ἱκανὸν περὶ ἐμέ,About noon as I was approaching Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me. 7en ek het op die grond geval en 'n stem vir my hoor sê: ‘Saul, Saul, waarom vervolg jy My?’ἔπεσά τε εἰς τὸ ἔδαφος καὶ ἤκουσα φωνῆς λεγούσης μοι· Σαοὺλ Σαούλ, τί με διώκεις;I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?’ 8En ek het geantwoord: ‘Wie is U, Here?’ En Hy het vir my gesê: ‘Ek is Jesus die Nasarener, wat jy vervolg.’ἐγὼ δὲ ἀπεκρίθην· Τίς εἶ, κύριε; εἶπέν τε πρὸς ⸀ἐμέ· Ἐγώ εἰμι Ἰησοῦς ὁ Ναζωραῖος ὃν σὺ διώκεις.‘Who are You, Lord?’ I asked. ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,’ He replied. 9Dié wat by my was, het wel die lig gesien, maar die stem van Hom wat met my gepraat het, het hulle nie gehoor nie.

Sommige manuskripte lees: het wel die lig gesien en bang geword, maar die stem van Hom wat met my gepraat het, het hulle nie gehoor nie.

οἱ δὲ σὺν ἐμοὶ ὄντες τὸ μὲν φῶς ⸀ἐθεάσαντο τὴν δὲ φωνὴν οὐκ ἤκουσαν τοῦ λαλοῦντός μοι.My companions saw the light, but they could not understand the voice of the One speaking to me. 10Toe het ek gesê: ‘Wat moet ek doen, Here?’ En die Here het vir my gesê: ‘Staan op en gaan na Damaskus, en daar sal vir jou gesê word oor alles wat vir jou bepaal is om te doen.’εἶπον δέ· Τί ποιήσω, κύριε; ὁ δὲ κύριος εἶπεν πρός με· Ἀναστὰς πορεύου εἰς Δαμασκόν, κἀκεῖ σοι λαληθήσεται περὶ πάντων ὧν τέτακταί σοι ποιῆσαι.Then I asked, ‘What should I do, Lord?’ ‘Get up and go into Damascus,’ He told me. ‘There you will be told all that you have been appointed to do.’ 11En toe ek weens die heerlikheid van daardie lig nie kon sien nie, het ek, aan die hand gelei deur die wat by my was, in Damaskus aangekom.ὡς δὲ οὐκ ἐνέβλεπον ἀπὸ τῆς δόξης τοῦ φωτὸς ἐκείνου, χειραγωγούμενος ὑπὸ τῶν συνόντων μοι ἦλθον εἰς Δαμασκόν.Because the brilliance of the light had blinded me, my companions led me by the hand into Damascus. 12'n Sekere Ananias, 'n man wat godvrugtig was volgens die wet en goeie getuienis gekry het van al die Jode wat daar woon,Ἁνανίας δέ τις ἀνὴρ ⸀εὐλαβὴς κατὰ τὸν νόμον μαρτυρούμενος ὑπὸ πάντων τῶν κατοικούντων Ἰουδαίων,There a man named Ananias, a devout observer of the law who was highly regarded by all the Jews living there, 13het na my toe gekom, langs my kom staan en vir my gesê: ‘Saul, broer, kry weer sig!’ En op daardie selfde uur het ek weer sig gekry en na hom gekyk.

Letterlik: kyk op; die woord beteken ook om weer te sien.

ἐλθὼν πρὸς ⸀ἐμὲ καὶ ἐπιστὰς εἶπέν μοι· Σαοὺλ ἀδελφέ, ἀνάβλεψον· κἀγὼ αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ ἀνέβλεψα εἰς αὐτόν.came and stood beside me. ‘Brother Saul,’ he said, ‘receive your sight.’ And at that moment I could see him. 14En hy het gesê: ‘Die God van ons vaders het jou vooraf aangewys om Sy wil te ken en die Regverdige te sien en 'n stem uit Sy mond te hoor,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,Then he said, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know His will and to see the Righteous One and to hear His voice. 15want jy sal vir Hom 'n getuie wees voor alle mense van wat jy gesien en gehoor het.ὅτι ἔσῃ μάρτυς αὐτῷ πρὸς πάντας ἀνθρώπους ὧν ἑώρακας καὶ ἤκουσας.You will be His witness to everyone of what you have seen and heard. 16En nou, waarom talm jy? Staan op, laat jou doop en was jou sondes af deur Sy Naam aan te roep.’

Sommige manuskripte lees: deur die Naam van die Here aan te roep.

καὶ νῦν τί μέλλεις; ἀναστὰς βάπτισαι καὶ ἀπόλουσαι τὰς ἁμαρτίας σου ἐπικαλεσάμενος τὸ ὄνομα ⸀αὐτοῦ.And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized, and wash your sins away, calling on His name.’ 17Dit het gebeur met my, toe ek na Jerusalem teruggekeer het en in die tempel gebid het, dat ek in 'n vervoering geraak hetἘγένετο δέ μοι ὑποστρέψαντι εἰς Ἰερουσαλὴμ καὶ προσευχομένου μου ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ γενέσθαι με ἐν ἐκστάσειLater, when I had returned to Jerusalem and was praying at the temple, I fell into a trance 18en Hom gesien het terwyl Hy vir my sê: ‘Maak gou en gaan haastig uit Jerusalem uit, want hulle sal jou getuienis oor My nie aanneem nie.’καὶ ἰδεῖν αὐτὸν λέγοντά μοι· Σπεῦσον καὶ ἔξελθε ἐν τάχει ἐξ Ἰερουσαλήμ, διότι οὐ παραδέξονταί ⸀σου μαρτυρίαν περὶ ἐμοῦ.and saw the Lord saying to me, ‘Hurry! Leave Jerusalem quickly, because the people here will not accept your testimony about Me.’ 19En ek het gesê: ‘Here, hulle weet self dat ek dié wat in U glo, in die sinagoges gevange geneem en geslaan het;κἀγὼ εἶπον· Κύριε, αὐτοὶ ἐπίστανται ὅτι ἐγὼ ἤμην φυλακίζων καὶ δέρων κατὰ τὰς συναγωγὰς τοὺς πιστεύοντας ἐπὶ σέ·‘Lord,’ I answered, ‘they know very well that in one synagogue after another I imprisoned and beat those who believed in You. 20en toe die bloed van Stefanus, U getuie, vergiet is, het ek self ook daarby gestaan en dit goedgekeur en die klere opgepas van dié wat hom doodgemaak het.’

Sommige manuskripte lees: en sy dood goedgekeur en die klere opgepas van dié wat hom doodgemaak het.

καὶ ὅτε ⸀ἐξεχύννετο τὸ αἷμα Στεφάνου τοῦ μάρτυρός σου, καὶ αὐτὸς ἤμην ἐφεστὼς καὶ συνευδοκῶν ⸀καὶ φυλάσσων τὰ ἱμάτια τῶν ἀναιρούντων αὐτόν.And when the blood of Your witness Stephen was shed, I stood there giving my approval and watching over the garments of those who killed him.’ 21En Hy het vir my gesê: ‘Gaan, want Ek sal jou ver weg na die nasies stuur.’”καὶ εἶπεν πρός με· Πορεύου, ὅτι ἐγὼ εἰς ἔθνη μακρὰν ἐξαποστελῶ σε.Then He said to me, ‘Go! I will send you far away to the Gentiles.’”

22Hulle het hom tot by hierdie woord aangehoor, en hulle het hul stem verhef en gesê: “Neem so iemand van die aarde af weg, want dit was nie gepas dat hy lewe nie.”Ἤκουον δὲ αὐτοῦ ἄχρι τούτου τοῦ λόγου καὶ ἐπῆραν τὴν φωνὴν αὐτῶν λέγοντες· Αἶρε ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς τὸν τοιοῦτον, οὐ γὰρ καθῆκεν αὐτὸν ζῆν.The crowd listened to Paul until he made this statement. Then they lifted up their voices and shouted, “Rid the earth of him! He is not fit to live!” 23Terwyl hulle skreeu en hul klede rondgooi en stof in die lug werp,⸀κραυγαζόντων ⸀τε αὐτῶν καὶ ῥιπτούντων τὰ ἱμάτια καὶ κονιορτὸν βαλλόντων εἰς τὸν ἀέρα,As they were shouting and throwing off their cloaks and tossing dust into the air,

24het die bevelvoerder beveel dat hy in die kaserne ingebring moet word, en gesê dat hy met sweepslae ondervra moet word, sodat hy kon uitvind om watter rede hulle so teen hom geroep het.ἐκέλευσεν ⸂ὁ χιλίαρχος εἰσάγεσθαι αὐτὸν⸃ εἰς τὴν παρεμβολήν, ⸀εἴπας μάστιξιν ἀνετάζεσθαι αὐτὸν ἵνα ἐπιγνῷ διʼ ἣν αἰτίαν οὕτως ἐπεφώνουν αὐτῷ.the commander ordered that Paul be brought into the barracks. He directed that Paul be flogged and interrogated to determine the reason for this outcry against him. 25Maar toe hulle hom met die rieme uitgestrek het, het Paulus vir die hoofman oor honderd wat daar gestaan het, gesê: “Is dit vir julle geoorloof om 'n mens wat 'n Romein is en onveroordeel, te gésel?”ὡς δὲ ⸀προέτειναν αὐτὸν τοῖς ἱμᾶσιν εἶπεν πρὸς τὸν ἑστῶτα ἑκατόνταρχον ὁ Παῦλος· Εἰ ἄνθρωπον Ῥωμαῖον καὶ ἀκατάκριτον ἔξεστιν ὑμῖν μαστίζειν;But as they stretched him out to strap him down, Paul said to the centurion standing there, “Is it lawful for you to flog a Roman citizen without a trial?” 26Toe die hoofman oor honderd dit hoor, het hy na die kommandant gegaan en dit berig en gesê: “Wat gaan u doen? Want hierdie mens is 'n Romein.”

Sommige manuskripte lees: Pas op wat u gaan doen!

ἀκούσας δὲ ὁ ἑκατοντάρχης προσελθὼν ⸂τῷ χιλιάρχῳ ἀπήγγειλεν⸃ λέγων· ⸀Τί μέλλεις ποιεῖν; ὁ γὰρ ἄνθρωπος οὗτος Ῥωμαῖός ἐστιν.On hearing this, the centurion went and reported it to the commander. “What are you going to do?” he said. “This man is a Roman citizen.” 27Die kommandant het toe na hom gegaan en vir hom gesê: “Sê vir my, is jy 'n Romein?” En hy het gesê: “Ja.”προσελθὼν δὲ ὁ χιλίαρχος εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Λέγε μοι, ⸀σὺ Ῥωμαῖος εἶ; ὁ δὲ ἔφη· Ναί.The commander went to Paul and asked, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?” “Yes,” he answered. 28Die bevelvoerder het geantwoord: “Ek het hierdie burgerskap met 'n groot som geld verkry.” En Paulus het gesê: “Maar ek is selfs gebore.”

Letterlik: Maar ek is selfs gebore; die Grieks laat die woord 'burger' weg.

ἀπεκρίθη ⸀δὲ ὁ χιλίαρχος· Ἐγὼ πολλοῦ κεφαλαίου τὴν πολιτείαν ταύτην ἐκτησάμην. ὁ δὲ Παῦλος ἔφη· Ἐγὼ δὲ καὶ γεγέννημαι.“I paid a high price for my citizenship,” said the commander. “But I was born a citizen,” Paul replied. 29Dadelik het hulle wat hom sou ondervra, dus van hom weggegaan; en die bevelvoerder was ook bang toe hy te wete gekom het dat hy 'n Romein is en dat hy hom gebind gehad het.εὐθέως οὖν ἀπέστησαν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ οἱ μέλλοντες αὐτὸν ἀνετάζειν· καὶ ὁ χιλίαρχος δὲ ἐφοβήθη ἐπιγνοὺς ὅτι Ῥωμαῖός ἐστιν καὶ ὅτι ⸂αὐτὸν ἦν⸃ δεδεκώς.At once those who were about to interrogate Paul stepped back, and the commander himself was alarmed when he realized that he had put a Roman citizen in chains. 30Die volgende dag, omdat hy die sekerheid wou weet oor waarvan hy deur die Jode beskuldig word, het hy hom losgemaak en beveel dat die leierpriesters en die hele Raad byeenkom, en hy het Paulus afgebring en hom voor hulle laat staan.

Sommige manuskripte lees: het hy hom van die boeie losgemaak.

Τῇ δὲ ἐπαύριον βουλόμενος γνῶναι τὸ ἀσφαλὲς τὸ τί κατηγορεῖται ⸀ὑπὸ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἔλυσεν ⸀αὐτόν, καὶ ἐκέλευσεν ⸀συνελθεῖν τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ ⸀πᾶν τὸ ⸀συνέδριον, καὶ καταγαγὼν τὸν Παῦλον ἔστησεν εἰς αὐτούς.The next day the commander, wanting to learn the real reason Paul was accused by the Jews, released him and ordered the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin to assemble. Then he brought Paul down and had him stand before them.
