STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 וּפֶטְרוֹס וְיוֹחָנָן עֹלִים יַחְדָּו אֶל־הַמִּקְדָּשׁ לְעֵת הַתְּפִלָּה בַּשָּׁעָה הַתְּשִׁיעִית	1 Now Peter and John were going up to the temple area for the three o'clock hour of prayer.
2 וְאִישׁ אֶחָד פִּסֵּחַ מִבֶּטֶן אִמּוֹ מוּבָא שָׁמָּה אֲשֶׁר יוֹשִׁיבֻהוּ יוֹם יוֹם שַׁעַר הַמִּקְדָּשׁ הַנִּקְרָא שַׁעַר הַמְהֻדָּר לִשְׁאֹל מַתָּנוֹת מֵאֵת בָּאֵי הַמִּקְדָּשׁ	2 And a man crippled from birth was carried and placed at the gate of the temple called "the Beautiful Gate" every day to beg for alms from the people who entered the temple.
3 וַיְהִי כִרְאֹתוֹ אֶת־פֶּטְרוֹס וְאֶת־יוֹחָנָן בָּאִים אֶל־הַמִּקְדָּשׁ וַיְבַקֵּשׁ לָקַחַת מֵאִתָּם צְדָקָה	3 When he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple, he asked for alms.
4 וַיִּסְתַּכֶּל־בּוֹ פֶּטְרוֹס וְגַם־יוֹחָנָן וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלָיו הַבִּיטָה אֵלֵינוּ	4 But Peter looked intently at him, as did John, and said, "Look at us."
5 וַיָּשֶׂם פָּנָיו אֲלֵיהֶם בְּקַוֹּתוֹ לָקַחַת מֵאִתָּם דָּבָר	5 He paid attention to them, expecting to receive something from them.
6 וַיֹּאמֶר פֶּטְרוֹס כֶּסֶף וְזָהָב אֵין־לִי אֲבָל אֵת אֲשֶׁר בְּיָדִי אֶתְּנֶנּוּ לָךְ בְּשֵׁם־יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ הַנָּצְרִי קוּם הִתְהַלֵּךְ	6 Peter said, "I have neither silver nor gold, but what I do have I give you: in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazorean, (rise and) walk."
7 וַיֹּאחֶז בְּיַד יְמִינוֹ וַיָּקֶם אוֹתוֹ וַיִּתְחַזְּקוּ פִתְאֹם רַגְלָיו וְקַרְסֻלָּיו	7 Then Peter took him by the right hand and raised him up, and immediately his feet and ankles grew strong.
8 וַיְקַפֵּץ וַיִּתְהַלֵּךְ וַיָּבֹא אִתָּם אֶל־הַמִּקְדָּשׁ מִתְהַלֵּךְ וּמְרַקֵּד וּמְשַׁבֵּחַ אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים	8 He leaped up, stood, and walked around, and went into the temple with them, walking and jumping and praising God.
9 וַיִּרְאֵהוּ כָּל־הָעָם מִתְהַלֵּךְ וּמְשַׁבֵּחַ אֶת־הָאֱלֹהִים	9 When all the people saw him walking and praising God,
10 וַיַּכִּירוּ אוֹתוֹ כִּי הוּא אֲשֶׁר הָיָה ישֵׁב לִשְׁאֹל צְדָקָה בְּשַׁעַר הַמִּקְדָּשׁ הַמְהֻדָּר וַיִּמָּלְאוּ שַׁמָּה וְתִמָּהוֹן עַל־הַנַּעֲשָׂה לוֹ	10 they recognized him as the one who used to sit begging at the Beautiful Gate of the temple, and they were filled with amazement and astonishment at what had happened to him.
11 וַיְהִי הוּא מַחֲזִיק בְּפֶטְרוֹס וּבְיוֹחָנָן וַיָּרָץ אֲלֵיהֶם כָּל־הָעָם אֶל־הָאוּלָם הַנִּקְרָא אוּלָם שֶׁל־שְׁלֹמֹה וַיִּשְׁתּוֹמֵמוּ	11 As he clung to Peter and John, all the people hurried in amazement toward them in the portico called "Solomon's Portico."
12 וַיַּרְא פֶּטְרוֹס וַיַּעַן וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל־הָעָם אַנְשֵׁי יִשְׂרָאֵל מָה אַתֶּם תְּמֵהִים עַל־זֹאת וּמַה־תִּסְתַּכְּלוּ בָנוּ כְּאִלּוּ אֲנַחְנוּ בְּכֹחֵנוּ וּבַחֲסִידוּתֵנוּ שַׂמְנוּ אֶת־זֶה מִתְהַלֵּךְ	12 When Peter saw this, he addressed the people, "You Israelites, why are you amazed at this, and why do you look so intently at us as if we had made him walk by our own power or piety?
13 אֱלֹהֵי אַבְרָהָם אֱלֹהֵי יִצְחָק וֵאלֹהֵי יַעֲקֹב אֱלֹהֵי אֲבוֹתֵינוּ הוּא פֵּאֵר אֶת־עַבְדּוֹ יֵשׁוּעַ אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם מְסַרְתֶּם אוֹתוֹ וְכִחַשְׁתֶּם בּוֹ בִּפְנֵי פִילָטוֹס כְּשֶׁהָיָה דָן לְפָטְרוֹ	13 The God of Abraham, (the God) of Isaac, and (the God) of Jacob, the God of our ancestors, has glorified his servant Jesus whom you handed over and denied in Pilate's presence, when he had decided to release him.
14 אֲבָל אַתֶּם כִּחַשְׁתֶּם בַּקָּדוֹשׁ וּבַצַּדִּיק וּבִקַּשְׁתֶּם כִּי־יֻחַן לָכֶם אִישׁ רֹצֵחַ	14 You denied the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you.
15 וְאֶת־שַׂר הַחַיִּים הֲרַגְתֶּם אֲשֶׁר הָאֱלֹהִים הֱקִימוֹ מִן־הַמֵּתִים וַאֲנַחְנוּ עֵדָיו	15 The author of life you put to death, but God raised him from the dead; of this we are witnesses.
16 וּלְמַעַן אֱמוּנַת שְׁמוֹ חִזַּק שְׁמוֹ אֶת־הָאִישׁ הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר אַתֶּם רֹאִים וּמַכִּירִים אֹתוֹ וְהָאֱמוּנָה אֲשֶׁר לָנוּ עַל־יָדוֹ הִיא הֶעֶלְתָה־לוֹ אֶת־הָאֲרֻכָה הַזֹּאת לְעֵינֵי כֻלְּכֶם	16 And by faith in his name, this man, whom you see and know, his name has made strong, and the faith that comes through it has given him this perfect health, in the presence of all of you.
17 וְעַתָּה אַחַי יֹדֵעַ אֲנִי כִּי בִבְלִי־דַעַת עֲשִׂיתֶם גַּם־אַתֶּם גַּם־רָאשֵׁיכֶם	17 Now I know, brothers, that you acted out of ignorance, just as your leaders did;
18 וְהָאֱלֹהִים כָּכָה מִלֵּא אֵת אֲשֶׁר־הִגִּיד מִקֶּדֶם בְּפִי כָל־נְבִיאָיו כִּי יְעֻנֶּה הַמָּשִׁיחַ	18 but God has thus brought to fulfillment what he had announced beforehand through the mouth of all the prophets, that his Messiah would suffer.
19 לָכֵן הִנָּחֲמוּ וָשׁוּבוּ וְיִמָּחוּ חֲטָאֵיכֶם	19 Repent, therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be wiped away,
20 לְמַעַן אֲשֶׁר־יָבֹאוּ יְמֵי רְוָחָה מִלִּפְנֵי יְהוָֹה וְיִשְׁלַח אֶת־אֲשֶׁר בִּשְׂרוֹ מִקֶּדֶם אֶת־יֵשׁוּעַ הַמָּשִׁיחַ	20 and that the Lord may grant you times of refreshment and send you the Messiah already appointed for you, Jesus,
21 אֲשֶׁר צָרִיךְ כִּי יְקַבְּלֻהוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם עַד־יְמֵי שׁוּב כָּל־הַדְּבָרִים לְתִקּוּנָם אֲשֶׁר דִּבֶּר עֲלֵיהֶם הָאֱלֹהִים בְּפִי־נְבִיאָיו הַקְּדוֹשִׁים מִימֵי עוֹלָם	21 whom heaven must receive until the times of universal restoration of which God spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets from of old.
22 הֵן משֶׁה אָמַר אֶל־אֲבוֹתֵינוּ נָבִיא יָקִים לָכֶם יְהוָֹה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם מִקֶּרֶב אֲחֵיכֶם כָּמֹנִי אֵלָיו תִּשְׁמָעוּן כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר יְדַבֵּר אֲלֵיכֶם	22 For Moses said: 'A prophet like me will the Lord, your God, raise up for you from among your own kinsmen; to him you shall listen in all that he may say to you.
23 וְהָיָה כָּל־הַנֶּפֶשׁ אֲשֶׁר לֹא תִשְׁמַע אֶל־הַנָּבִיא הַהוּא וְנִכְרְתָה מֵעַמֶּיהָ	23 Everyone who does not listen to that prophet will be cut off from the people.'
24 וְגַם כָּל־הַנְּבִיאִים מִשְּׁמוּאֵל וַאֲשֶׁר נִבְּאוּ אַחֲרָיו כֻּלָּם הִגִּידוּ מֵרֹאשׁ אֶת־הַיָּמִים הָאֵלֶּה	24 Moreover, all the prophets who spoke, from Samuel and those afterwards, also announced these days.
25 אַתֶּם בְּנֵי הַנְּבִיאִים וּבְנֵי הַבְּרִית אֲשֶׁר כָּרַת הָאֱלֹהִים עִם־אֲבוֹתֵינוּ בְּאָמְרוֹ אֶל־אַבְרָהָם וְנִבְרְכוּ בְזַרְעֲךָ כֹּל מִשְׁפְּחוֹת הָאֲדָמָה	25 You are the children of the prophets and of the covenant that God made with your ancestors when he said to Abraham, 'In your offspring all the families of the earth shall be blessed.'
26 לָכֶם בָּרִאשׁוֹנָה הֶעֱמִיד הָאֱלֹהִים אֶת־עַבְדוֹ יֵשׁוּעַ וַיִּשְׁלָחֵהוּ לְבָרֵךְ אֶתְכֶם בְּשׁוּבְכֶם כָּל־אִישׁ מֵרֹעַ מַעַלְלֵיכֶם	26 For you first, God raised up his servant and sent him to bless you by turning each of you from your evil ways."
