1 Vat nani Shawulu leo ubun inziu nanan dortu Kutelle. Amini wa do kiti ndia kutii nlira n-urushalima.
But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
2 Aworoghe inghe ma-nyertu- nyertu ma na a ba dumu kitii na didia natii inlira n-Damaskos. Ma nyerte wa nighe aghang ale na aba kivinu uzaman nan na wani ale na idin dortu libau Ise, akuru a cisoni natii nacin n-Urshalime, bari adi-dia na nan wucu kideinne ba funuani.
and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3 Ku bi ko na Shawulu nan nan cinme wa din cinu udu Udamaskos, na nin daudaunu ba, umon kanang tua unuzu kitene kani mu kilinghe.
As he traveled, it happened that he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.
4 Atunna a deou kutin, a lanza liwui nuzu kitene kani, liworoghe, “Shawulu, Shawulu, bari yanghari udin ni nantiting uwuya?”
And he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"
5 Shawulu tiringhe, “Cikilari, fe ghari?” A kawaghe aworo, “Mere Yesu, ullenge na udin yooghe.
And he said, "Who are you, Lord?" And he said, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
6 Vat nani fita upiru nanya kagbiri! Umon nanya kagbire ba bellinfi ilemo na umasu.”
But rise up, and enter into the city, and you will be told what you must do."
7 Alenghe na iwa di nin Shawule lanza fiu, na iyinno ubellu nimomon ba.
The men who traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the sound, but seeing no one.
8 Shawule fita kutene, da na apuno iyizzime, na ayinno uyenju nimomom. A nit arka na iwa di ninghe, kifoghe nchara udumu na kipin Damaskos.
Saul arose from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could not see anything. They led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
9 Shawulu ta ayiri a tat, na nin yenju kitiba, ana awa lii sa asono imomon ba.
He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
10 Ndamaskos, umong waduku ulenge na iwa yicighe Hananiya unan dortu Yesu. Cikilari Yesu ta Hananiya nanyan namoro-yenju, a aworoghe, “Hananiya!” Ame kpana aworo “Cikilari, nding latizu.”
Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, "Ananias." And he said, "Look, it's me, Lord."
11 Cikilari Yesu woroghe, “cang umong ulayi na idin yicu ning 'udert' ule na udo nghan Yahuda. Utirin lisan mong unit na idin yicighe Shawulu kunan kagbirin Tarsus, nene adin foyi nachara.
The Lord said to him, "Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus. For look, he is praying,
12 Shawulu wadi amal yenu nanya namoron yenju kiti, umon unit na idin yicughe Hananiya pira kilari kirika na awa duku atardaghe achara bara anan yenje kiti tutung.”
and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight."
13 Hananiya kpana aworo, “Cikilari, anit gbardang nabelli ubelleng nnit ulele! A su imon inanza gbardang kitene na rika na iyinna nifin Urshalima.
But Ananias answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem.
14 Ame na malu seru niyert kiti na didyawe, ulenge na una nighe likara akifizo arikana iyina nifi kikane Damaskos.”
Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name."
15 Vat nani Chikilare woroghe, su immon irika nan belling fi usu, “Can kitin Shawulu!, bara nan nfereghe a suyi katua litinighe nin arika na isali aYahudawa anan na goomine nan nIsrailawe.
But the Lord said to him, "Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the children of Israel.
16 Memma litinighe ba belling nghe, aba niu kan kiti nanit bari ubellinani uliru litinighe.”
For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name's sake."
17 Hananiya nya a pira kilari kirka na Shawulu diku. Da na ayene Shuwulueku, a tardaghe achara litime, anin woroghe,”Gwana Shawulu, C; hikilari Yesu ntoyi kitife. Amere wa dak kitife kubi ko na uwa di libau udu uDamaskos. Amere na tuyi kitife bara unan kuru use uyenju kiti, tutung uRuhu ulau bara yiru likara litife.”
Ananias departed, and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me, that you may receive your sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit."
18 Nanin dandaunu ba, imonimon nafo imart nibo deu niyizin Shawulu, anin tunnan yenju tutung. Anin fita itaghe ushintunu nmyen milau.
Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was baptized.
19 Kimal nlii nimonlin Shawulu, ase likara kidowo tutung. Shawulu so nin namong anan dortun Yesu nayiri gbardang.
He took food and was strengthened. He stayed several days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
20 Na nin dandaunu ba, atunnan bellun belle Yesu nanya nati nlira mine in wo amere gono Kutelle.
Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed Jesus, that he is the Son of God.
21 Vat nalenge na iwa lanzaghe puzuno tunu inin din bellu, “Na ulelere din nanzu narika na iwadin Urushalima anan yiccu kitenen lissa lole ba? Tutung ada kiti kane anan tere nani a yauna udumun kitin Priest.”
All who heard him were amazed, and said, "Is not this he who in Jerusalem made havoc of those who called on this name? And he had come here intending to bring them bound before the chief priests."
22 Ama Bulus wase likara asu uwazi abellu a Yahudawa na idin Damaskus au Yesu amere Kristi.
But Saul increased more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
23 Na ayira gbardang in kata, A Yahudawa kyele atimine nwo imollughe.
When many days were fulfilled, the Jews conspired together to kill him,
24 Ama Shawulu wa lanza ile imon na idinin su isughe. Iwaso ncca kibulughe kiti nin lirin inan mologhe.
but their plot became known to Saul. They watched the gates both day and night that they might kill him,
25 Ama nono katwa me yaughe inin toltinghe ligitiri, iwa ghatinghe nin kukuzughari.
but his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
26 Na anin da u'Urushalima, Shawulu mala udofinun nono katwa, ama vat inghune wadin lanzu fiume, na iwa yinnin ame wang gono katwari ba.
When Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
27 Ama Barnabas yaunghe adamun ubun nana liru Kutelle. Anin belle nani tana na Shawulu wa yene Cikilare libau tutung Cikilare wa liru ninghe, tutung tana na Shawulu wasu uwa'zi lissan Yesu sa fiu in Damaskus.
But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.
28 Awa zuru nanghinu kube na iwa din piccu nin niccu nanyan Urushalima. Alira sa fiu nanya lissan Cikilari Yesu.
He was with them coming in and going out in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.
29 Tutung asuzu mayardang nin na Yahudawan Girisiya; ama iwa dinga ubingan molughe.
He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.
30 Na linuanan yinno nin nilemone, ida ninghe u Siseriya inin toghe udun Tarsus.
When the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him off to Tarsus.
31 Tutung, nilarin lira vat nanya Urdun, Ugalili, nin Samariya se lissosin liman tutung iwa kunjo; tutung ucin nanyan fiun Cikilari nin nanya mang Ruhu ulau, kilarin lire kunjo nin nanit.
So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
32 Nene imoimon wa yita, na Bitrus wa galu vat nitinit, ada tolo kiti nanan bi ale na iwa di kagbirin Leyida.
It happened, as Peter went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.
33 Kikane awase umong unit ku lissame Aines, urika na awa li akus kulir kitenen komime, bara awadi nin konun ku kidowo.
There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years, because he was paralyzed.
34 Bitrus woroghe, “Aines, Yesu Kristin shino nin fi. Fita ukyele ukomife.” Atunna afita ayissina.
Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed." Immediately he arose.
35 Bara nani, vat nalenge na iwa sossin in Leyida nin Sharon yene unite ikpilla atimine kitin Cikilari.
All who lived at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
36 Nene in kan gono katwa waduku n nanyan Joppa lissame Tabitha, urika na ukpiluwe di “Dokas.” Ule uwane wa kulung nin katwa kacine anin katwan kunekune ka na adin su anan likimon.
Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha (which when translated, means Dorcas). This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.
37 Nanya nayiri ane, ukonu kwaghe anin ku; na ikussughe, inin nokoghe kuti kitene.
It happened in those days that she fell sick, and died. When they had washed her, they placed her in an upper chamber.
38 Uleyida wadi kupon Joppa, tutung nono katwawe wa lanza Bitrus di kikane, ito anit aba kitime, ipotoghe acara, “Dacari kiti bite sa umolu kubi.”
As Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to us.
39 Fita adofino nani. Na ada duru, idoninghe kutii kitene. Tutung vat nawani ale na alesmine nakuzu yissina kupo me kuculu, inin dindursuzughe altuk nin nazeni alenge na Dokas wa tuju nani kubi na awadi nanghinu.
Peter got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper chamber. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
40 Bitrus nutuno nani vat nanya kutiiye, atumo atanlira; anin gitirno ayene kidowe, abelle “Tabita, fita.” Apuno iyizi me, na ayene Bitrus ku, afita aso.
Peter put them all out, and kneeled down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, "Tabitha, get up." She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41 Bitrus nin nakpaghe ucarame afeghe; na ayicilla ananbiye nin nawani alenge na ales mine na kuzu, ananani ame nin laime kiti mine.
He gave her his hand, and raised her up. Calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
42 Kogha tunna nin yiru nile imone vat nanya Joppa, gbardang nanit tutung yinna nin Cikilare.
And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
43 Bitrus tunna ata ayiri nin mong unit, lissame Simon, ku Tanna.
It happened, that he stayed many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
