A Lame Beggar Is Healed
1 One day Peter and John went to the Temple at three o'clock in the afternoon, the hour for prayer. 2 There at the Beautiful Gate, as it was called, was a man who had been lame all his life. Every day he was carried to the gate to beg for money from the people who were going into the Temple. 3 When he saw Peter and John going in, he begged them to give him something. 4 They looked straight at him, and Peter said, “Look at us!” 5 So he looked at them, expecting to get something from them. 6 But Peter said to him, “I have no money at all, but I give you what I have: in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I order you to get up and walk!” 7 Then he took him by his right hand and helped him up. At once the man's feet and ankles became strong; 8 he jumped up, stood on his feet, and started walking around. Then he went into the Temple with them, walking and jumping and praising God. 9 The people there saw him walking and praising God, 10 and when they recognized him as the beggar who had sat at the Beautiful Gate, they were all surprised and amazed at what had happened to him.
Peter's Message in the Temple
11 As the man held on to Peter and John in Solomon's Porch, as it was called, the people were amazed and ran to them. 12 When Peter saw the people, he said to them, “Fellow Israelites, why are you surprised at this, and why do you stare at us? Do you think that it was by means of our own power or godliness that we made this man walk? 13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our ancestors, has given divine glory to his Servant Jesus. But you handed him over to the authorities, and you rejected him in Pilate's presence, even after Pilate had decided to set him free. 14 He was holy and good, but you rejected him, and instead you asked Pilate to do you the favor of turning loose a murderer. 15 You killed the one who leads to life, but God raised him from death—and we are witnesses to this. 16 It was the power of his name that gave strength to this lame man. What you see and know was done by faith in his name; it was faith in Jesus that has made him well, as you can all see.
17 “And now, my friends, I know that what you and your leaders did to Jesus was due to your ignorance. 18 God announced long ago through all the prophets that his Messiah had to suffer; and he made it come true in this way. 19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that he will forgive your sins. If you do, 20 times of spiritual strength will come from the Lord, and he will send Jesus, who is the Messiah he has already chosen for you. 21 He must remain in heaven until the time comes for all things to be made new, as God announced through his holy prophets of long ago. 22 For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will send you a prophet, just as he sent me, and he will be one of your own people. You are to obey everything that he tells you to do. 23 Anyone who does not obey that prophet shall be separated from God's people and destroyed.’ 24 And all the prophets who had a message, including Samuel and those who came after him, also announced what has been happening these days. 25 The promises of God through his prophets are for you, and you share in the covenant which God made with your ancestors. As he said to Abraham, ‘Through your descendants I will bless all the people on earth.’ 26 And so God chose his Servant and sent him to you first, to bless you by making every one of you turn away from your wicked ways.”

Pīters ar Jōni padora vasalu slymū un mōca ļaudis.
1 Ap deveitū lyugšonas stuņdi Pīters un Jōņs aizgōja uz svētneicu. 2 Te atnese vīnu cylvāku, kurs beja klybs nu pošas dzimšonas. Jū ikdīnas nūlyka pi svētneicas tai sauktajim Skaistajim Vōrtim, lai jys nu svētneicā ejūšim lyugtu dōvonas. 3 Īraudzejis svētneicā ejūšu Pīteri un Joni, jys lyudze nu tim dōvonas. 4 Bet Pīters, kūpā ar Jōni uz jō vārdamīs, saceja: Pasaver uz mums! 5 Jys, cereibā kaut kū nu jim sajimt, pasavēre. 6 Bet Pīters jam saceja: Maņ navā ni zalta, ni sudobra, bet tū, kas maņ ir, tev dūšu: Jezus Kristus nu Nazaretes vōrdā celīs augšā un staigoj! 7 Un, pajēmis tū aiz lobōs rūkas, pīcēle stōvu. Un tyuleņ jō kōjas un lūcātives palyka stypras. 8 Pīsatryucis kōjōs, jys stōvēja un staigōja. Reizē ar jim tys īgōja svētneicā, staigōja un lākōja apkōrt un slaveja Dīvu. 9 Un visi ļaudis jū redzēja staigojūt un slavejūt Dīvu. 10 Pazynuši, ka jys ir tys cylvāks, kas, dōvonu lyugdams, sēdēja pi svētneicas Skaistajim Vōrtim, jī uzatrauce un breinōjōs par vysu tū, kas ar jū beja nūticis. 11 Tai kai jys turējōs pi Pītera un Jōņa, visi ļaudis breinōdamīs sasapuļcēja ap jim tai saucamajōs Salomona siņcēs. 12 Tu radzādams, Pīters runōja ļaudim:
Izraeļa veiri, kōpēc jyus tam breinojitēs? Un kōpēc jyus apbreinojat myusus, itkai mes ar sovu spāku vai varu padarejom tū, ka tys staigoj?
13 Abraama, Izaaka un Jākuba Dīvs, myusu tāvu Dīvs uzslaveja sovu Dālu Jezu, kuru jyus nūdevet un Pilata prīškā aizalīdzet, ka tys beja nūsprīdis Jū palaist vaļā. 14 Jyus Svātō un Taisneigō aizalīdzet un izlyudzet sev apžālōt slapkovu. 15 Jyus tadei nūnōvējot dzeives Devēju, kuru Dīvs pīcēle nu myrūnim, un mes asam tō līcinīki. 16 Caur ticeibu Jō vōrdim tys Vōrds pastateja uz kōjom tū, kuru jyus redzit un pazeistat, un ticeiba, kas caur Jū ir, jyusu vysu acīs atgrīze jam piļeneigi veseleibu.
17 Un tagad, brōli, es zynu, ka jyus nazynōšonas dēļ tū darejot, kai ari jyusu vērsinīki. 18 Bet Dīvs taidā veidā ļōve izapiļdeit tam, kū Jys caur vysu pravīšu lyupom īprīkš pasludynōja: Jo Kristum beja jōcīš. 19 Tai tad dorit gondarejumu un atsagrīzit, lai jums tyktu atlaisti grāki, 20 lai atītu nu Kunga vaiga atspērdzynōšonas laiki un lai Jys atsyuteitu jums īprīkšpazeimōtū Jezu Kristu. 21 Jam gon ir jōpalīk dabasūs, koleidz vyss tiks atjaunōts, kū Dīvs pasludynōja nu myužim caur sovu svātūs pravīšu muti. 22 Moizešs tadei saceja: Kungs, myusu Dīvs, izmūdynōs jums storp jyusu brōlim pravīti, kai mani. Esit jam vysā, kū jys saceis, paklauseigi. 23 Un ikvīns, kas šytō pravīša naklauseis, nu tautas tiks atškērts. 24 Ari citi pravīši, cik jūs īsōcūt ar Samueli un vēļōk runōja, šōs dīnas īprīkšsludynōja. 25 Jyus tadei asat pravīšu dāli un jyus pīdarat pi tōs dereibas, kuru Dīvs ar jyusu tāvim nūslēdze, saceidams Abraamam: Caur tovim pēcnōcejim tops svēteigas vysas vērszemes tautas. 26 Vyspyrms Dīvs, uzmūdynōjis sovu Dālu, syuteja jums, lai Jys jums svēteitu, uz cik jyus atsagrīzsit nu sovim ļaunim dorbim.
