Y Checho Y Apostoles Sija 9
1 YA si Saulo, sisigueja di jumagong juyong y amenaso yan matadura contra y disipulon y Señot, ya mapos para y magas mamale,
But meanwhile Saul was making violent threats against the disciples of the Lord, wanting to kill them. He went to the high priest
2 Ya jagagao catta, para Damasco gui sinagoga, para yaguin jasoda jaye güine na Jinanaoña, masqueseaja, laje pat palaoan, siña ucone preso para Jerusalem.
and asked for letters of authorization to take with him to the synagogues in Damascus, giving him permission to arrest any believers in the Way that he found, men or women, and bring them back to Jerusalem as prisoners.
3 Ya y jinanaoña, susede na matogüe jijot Damasco; ya enseguidas manina gui oriyaña y candet guinen y langet;
As Saul approached Damascus, suddenly he was surrounded by a light that blazed down from heaven.
4 Ya podonggüe gui jilo oda, ya jajungog y inagang na ilegña nu güiya: Saulo, Saulo, sa jafa na unpetsisiguejayo?
He fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
5 Ya ilegña: Jaye jao Señot? ya ilegña: Guajo si Jesus ni y unpetsisigue:
“Who are you, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, the one you're persecuting,” he replied.
6 Lao cajulo ya janao falag y siuda, ya ayonae unmasangane jafa unfatinas.
“Get up, go on into the city, and you'll be told what to do.”
7 Ya y taotao sija ni y mangachochongña manojgue ya taya cuentosñija; jajujungogja y inagang, lao taya taotao liniiñija.
The men who were traveling with Saul stood there speechless. They heard the voice speaking, but they didn't see anyone.
8 Ya si Saulo cajulo guinin y jilo oda; ya anae mababa y atadogña taya jalie, lao mamantiene canaeña, ya macone guato Damasco.
Saul got to his feet, and when he opened his eyes, he couldn't see anything. His companions took him by the hand and led him into Damascus.
9 Ya sumaga güije tres na jaane, ni manatan, yan ni chumocho, yan ni gumimen.
For three days he couldn't see, and he didn't eat or drink anything.
10 Ya estaba güije un disipulo guiya Damasco, na y naanña si Ananias; sa güiya sinangane ni y Señot gui vision, ilegña: Ananias; ya güiya ilegña: Estagüiyajayo Señot.
A follower of Jesus called Ananias lived in Damascus, and the Lord spoke to him in a vision. “Ananias!” he called. “I'm here, Lord,” Ananias responded.
11 Ya y Señot ilegña nu güiya: Cajulo ya janao falag y caye ni y mafanaan tunas, ya unaligao y guima Judas, uno na y naanña Saulo, taotao Tarso, sa estagüe na mananaetae,
“Get up, and go to Straight Street,” the Lord told him. “Ask at Judas' house for someone called Saul, from Tarsus. He's praying.
12 Ya guinin jalie gui vision un taotao na y naanña si Ananias, na mato ya japolo y canaeña guiya güiya para uninafanlie.
He's seen in vision a man called Ananias come and place his hands on him so he can regain his sight.”
13 Ya si Ananias, manope ilegña: Señot, megae jujungog ni este na taotao, na megae na taelaye finatinasña gui mañantosmo guiya Jerusalem.
“But Lord,” Ananias replied, “I've heard a lot about this man—about all the evil things he did to the believers in Jerusalem.
14 Ya güine na gaeninasiña guinin y magas mamale, para ugode todo ayo sija y umaagang y naanmo.
The chief priests have given him the power to arrest everyone here that worships and follows you.”
15 Lao y Señot ilegña nu güiya: Janao unjanao; sa güiya y inayeg na nayan guiya guajo, para uchule y naanjo gui menan y Gentiles, yan y ray sija, yan y famaguon Israel:
But the Lord told him, “Get on your way, because he is the person I have chosen to take my name to foreigners and kings, as well as to Israel.
16 Sa guajo fumanue güe cuanto mandangculon güinaja, na janesesita umasapet pot y naanjo.
I will show him what he'll have to suffer for my name's sake.”
17 Ya si Ananias jumanao, ya jumalom gui guima; ya japolo y canaeña guiya güiya, ilegña: Chelujo Saulo, y Señot as Jesus ni y mato guiya jago gui chalan anae mamamaela jao, jatagoyo para usiña unlie, yan unbula ni y Espiritu Santo.
So Ananias left and went to the house. He placed his hands on Saul. “Brother Saul,” he said, “The Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were traveling here, has sent me so you can regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
18 Ya enseguidas manbasnag guinin y mataña taegüije y guenaf sija: ya manlie, ya cajulo ya matagpange.
Immediately, something like scales fell from his eyes, and his sight was restored. He got up and was baptized.
19 Ya anae chumocho ninametgot. Ya si Saulo güije sija na jaane dumisipulo guiya Damasco.
He also had something to eat and felt stronger. Saul spent several days with the disciples in Damascus.
20 Ya enseguidas japredica gui sinagoga na si Jesus güiya y Lajin Yuus.
He immediately started speaking in the synagogues, saying, “Jesus is the Son of God.”
21 Lao todo y jumungog güe, ninafanmanman ya ilegñija: Ada ti este ayo y yumulang ayo sija y umagang este na naan guiya Jerusalem? ya guinin mato güine pot enao na jinaso, para ucone ya ugode guato gui magas mamale.
All who heard him were amazed, and asked, “Isn't this the man who caused so much trouble in Jerusalem for those who believed in Jesus? Wasn't he coming here to have the believers arrested and taken in chains to the chief priests?”
22 Lao si Saulo lumalametgotja, yan janafangadon y Judio sija ni y mañasaga Damasco, sa jafanue na este si Cristo.
Saul grew more and more confident, proving Jesus was the Messiah so convincingly that the Jews who lived in Damascus could not refute him.
23 Ya anae manmalofan megae na jaane, mandaña y Judio sija para umapuno güe.
Some time later the Jews plotted together to kill him,
24 Lao y ninanggañiñija, matungo gui as Saulo. Ya sija japupulanja y trangcasija, jaane yan puenge para umaquepuno güi.
but Saul learned of their intentions. Day and night they waited by the city gates looking for the chance to murder him.
25 Ayonae macone puenge ni y disipulo, ya masajguane gui un canastra, ya manatunog gui quelat.
So during the night his followers took him and lowered him down in a basket from an opening in the city wall.
26 Ya anae mato güe Jerusalem, malago na udañae y disipulo sija; lao sija manmaañao nu güiya, ya ti majonggue na disipulo güe.
When Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to meet with the disciples, but they were all afraid of him because they were not convinced he was really a disciple.
27 Lao quinene as Barnabé guato gui disipulo sija, ya jasangane sija jaftaemano y liniiña ni y Señot gui chalan ya jacuentuse nu güiya, ya jaftaemano manpredica matatnga si Saulo güiya Damasco ni y naan Jesus.
However, Barnabas took him to meet the apostles, and explained to them how Saul had seen the Lord on the road and how the Lord had spoken to Saul. Barnabas also explained how in Damascus Saul had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus.
28 Ya mañisijaja manjuyong yan manjalom guiya Jerusalem.
Saul stayed with the apostles and accompanied them all over Jerusalem,
29 Ya japredica matatnga ni y naan Señot Jesus: ya jasangan managuaguat yan y Helenista sija; lao maquequepunoja güe nu sija.
speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. He talked and debated with the Greek-speaking Jews, but they tried to kill him.
30 Ya anae matungo ni y mañelo, macone güe para Sesarea, ya matago para Tarso.
When the brothers learned of this they took him to Caesarea, and sent him to Tarsus.
31 Ya mangaepas todo y iglesia sija guiya Judea, yan Galilea, yan Samaria, ya manmamanagüe, ya manmamomocat gui minaañao as Señot, yan y minagof y Espiritu Santo, lumamegae.
During this time the whole church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria was left in peace. The church grew strong and increased rapidly in numbers as the believers lived reverently for the Lord, encouraged by the Holy Spirit.
32 Ya susede anae malofan si Pedro gui todo y lugat, na matogüe locue gui mañantos ni y mañasaga Lydda.
Peter was traveling around and went to visit the believers who lived in Lydda.
33 Ya mañoda güije un taotao na y naanña si Eneas, na esta ocho años gui cama, sa malango paralitico.
There he met a man called Aeneas who was paralyzed and had been confined to his bed for eight years.
34 Ya ilegña si Pedro nu güiya: Eneas, si Jesucristo unninajomlo: cajulo ya unfamauleg y camamo. Ya enseguidas cajulo.
Peter told him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you! Get up and pick up your mat!” Immediately Aeneas got up.
35 Ya todo y mañasaga guiya Lyyda yan. Saron, malie güe; ya jabira sija para y Señot.
Everyone living in Lydda and Sharon saw him, and became believers in the Lord.
36 Ya guaja un disipulo guiya Joppe, na y naanña Tabita: na comequeilegña Dorcas; este na palaoan bula manmauleg na chocho, yan limosna sija ni y finatinasña.
In Joppa lived a follower called Tabitha, (Dorcas in Greek). She was always doing good and helping the poor.
37 Ya ayo sija na jaane, mumalango, ya matae; ya anae munjayan mafagase, mapolo gui aposento gui san jilo.
However, about this time she became sick, and died. After washing her body, they laid her out in an upstairs room.
38 Ya como jijot Lydda guiya Joppe, ya majungog ni y disipulo sija na gaegue güije si Pedro, matago dos taotao para iya güiya, para umagagao: munga atrasao na ufato guiya jame.
Lydda was near Joppa, so the disciples in Joppa, hearing that Peter was in Lydda, sent two men to him with the message, “Please come to us right away.”
39 Ayonae cajulo si Pedro, ya jumanao mañisija. Ya anae matogüe, macone guato gui aposento gui san jilo; ya todo y manbiuda manotojgue gui oriyaña ya manatanges ya mafanue ni y magago sija ni y finatinas Dorcas anae manisija.
So Peter got ready and left with them. When he arrived they took him upstairs. All the widows were there crying, and they showed him the coats and clothes that Dorcas had made while she was with them.
40 Lao ninafañuja as Pedro, ya dumimo ya manaetae; ya jabira güe guato gui tataotao, ya ilegña: Tabita, cajulo. Ya jababa y atadogña: ya anae jalie si Pedro matachong julo.
Peter told them all to leave, kneeled down, and prayed. He turned to the body and said, “Tabitha, get up.” She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up.
41 Ya janae si Pedro ni y canaeña, ya jinatsa güe julo; ya si Pedro jaagang todo y mañantos yan y manbiuda, ya japresenta na lâlâ.
He took her by the hand and lifted her up. He called in the believers and the widows, and presented her to them alive.
42 Ya matungo todo guiya Joppe; ya megae manmanjonggue ni y Señot.
The news spread through the whole of Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
43 Ya susede na sumaga si Pedro guiya Joppe megae na jaane gui guima un taotao na y naanña si Simon titumo.
Peter spent a long time in Joppa, staying at the house of Simon the tanner.
