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,
Meanwhile Saul, still breathing murderous threats against the disciples of the Lord, 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 him to give him letters to the Jewish congregations at Damascus, authorising him, if he found there any supporters of the Cause, whether men or women, to have them put in chains and brought to Jerusalem.
3 Ya y jinanaoña, susede na matogüe jijot Damasco; ya enseguidas manina gui oriyaña y candet guinen y langet;
While on his journey, as he was nearing Damascus, suddenly a light from the heavens flashed around him.
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 to him — “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?” he asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” the voice answered;
6 Lao cajulo ya janao falag y siuda, ya ayonae unmasangane jafa unfatinas.
“Yet stand up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
7 Ya y taotao sija ni y mangachochongña manojgue ya taya cuentosñija; jajujungogja y inagang, lao taya taotao liniiñija.
The men traveling with Saul were meanwhile standing speechless; they heard the sound of the voice, but saw no one.
8 Ya si Saulo cajulo guinin y jilo oda; ya anae mababa y atadogña taya jalie, lao mamantiene canaeña, ya macone guato Damasco.
When Saul got up from the ground, though his eyes were open, he could see nothing. So his men led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus;
9 Ya sumaga güije tres na jaane, ni manatan, yan ni chumocho, yan ni gumimen.
and for three days he was unable to see, and took nothing either to eat or to drink.
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.
Now there was at Damascus a disciple named Ananias, to whom, in a vision, the Lord said: “Ananias.” “Yes, Lord,” he answered.
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,
“Go at once,” said the Lord, “to the ‘Straight Street’, and ask at Judas’s house for a man named Saul, from Tarsus. He is at this moment praying,
12 Ya guinin jalie gui vision un taotao na y naanña si Ananias, na mato ya japolo y canaeña guiya güiya para uninafanlie.
and he has seen, in a vision, a man named Ananias coming in and placing his hands on him, so that he may recover his sight.”
13 Ya si Ananias, manope ilegña: Señot, megae jujungog ni este na taotao, na megae na taelaye finatinasña gui mañantosmo guiya Jerusalem.
“Lord,” exclaimed Ananias, “I have heard from many people about this man — how much harm he has done at Jerusalem to your People there.
14 Ya güine na gaeninasiña guinin y magas mamale, para ugode todo ayo sija y umaagang y naanmo.
And, here, too, he holds authority from the Chief Priests to put in chains all those who invoke your Name.”
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 said to him: “Go, for this man is my chosen instrument to uphold my Name before the Gentiles and their kings, and the people of Israel.
16 Sa guajo fumanue güe cuanto mandangculon güinaja, na janesesita umasapet pot y naanjo.
I will myself show him all that he has to suffer for my Name.”
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 went, entered the house, and, placing his hands on Saul, said: “Saul, my Brother, I have been sent by the Lord — by Jesus, who appeared to you on your way here — so that you may recover 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.
Instantly it seemed as if a film fell from Saul’s eyes, and his sight was restored. Then he got up and was baptized,
19 Ya anae chumocho ninametgot. Ya si Saulo güije sija na jaane dumisipulo guiya Damasco.
and, after he had taken food, he felt his strength return. Saul stayed for some days with the disciples who were at Damascus,
20 Ya enseguidas japredica gui sinagoga na si Jesus güiya y Lajin Yuus.
and at once began in the Synagogues to proclaim Jesus as 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. “Is not this,” they asked, “the man who worked havoc in Jerusalem among those that invoke this Name, and who had also come here for the express purpose of having such persons put in chains and taken before the Chief Priests?”
22 Lao si Saulo lumalametgotja, yan janafangadon y Judio sija ni y mañasaga Damasco, sa jafanue na este si Cristo.
Saul’s influence, however, kept steadily increasing, and he confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus by the proofs that he gave that Jesus was the Christ.
23 Ya anae manmalofan megae na jaane, mandaña y Judio sija para umapuno güe.
After some time the Jews laid a plot to kill Saul,
24 Lao y ninanggañiñija, matungo gui as Saulo. Ya sija japupulanja y trangcasija, jaane yan puenge para umaquepuno güi.
but it became known to him. They even watched the gates day and night, to kill him;
25 Ayonae macone puenge ni y disipulo, ya masajguane gui un canastra, ya manatunog gui quelat.
but his disciples let him down by night through an opening in the wall, lowering him in a basket.
26 Ya anae mato güe Jerusalem, malago na udañae y disipulo sija; lao sija manmaañao nu güiya, ya ti majonggue na disipulo güe.
On his arrival in Jerusalem, Saul attempted to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, as they did not believe that 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.
Barnabas, however, taking him by the hand, brought him to the Apostles, and told them the whole story of how Saul on his journey had seen the Lord, and how the Lord had talked to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken out fearlessly in the Name of Jesus.
28 Ya mañisijaja manjuyong yan manjalom guiya Jerusalem.
After that, Saul remained in Jerusalem, in close intercourse with the Apostles; and he spoke fearlessly in the Name of the Lord,
29 Ya japredica matatnga ni y naan Señot Jesus: ya jasangan managuaguat yan y Helenista sija; lao maquequepunoja güe nu sija.
talking and arguing with the Jews of foreign birth, who, however, made attempts to kill him.
30 Ya anae matungo ni y mañelo, macone güe para Sesarea, ya matago para Tarso.
But, when the Brethren found this out, they took him down to Caesarea, and sent him on his way 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.
And so it came about that the Church, throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria, enjoyed peace and became firmly established; and, ordering its life by reverence for the Lord and the help of the Holy Spirit, it increased in numbers.
32 Ya susede anae malofan si Pedro gui todo y lugat, na matogüe locue gui mañantos ni y mañasaga Lydda.
Peter, while traveling from place to place throughout the country, went down to visit the People of Christ living at Lydda.
33 Ya mañoda güije un taotao na y naanña si Eneas, na esta ocho años gui cama, sa malango paralitico.
There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been bed-ridden for eight years with paralysis.
34 Ya ilegña si Pedro nu güiya: Eneas, si Jesucristo unninajomlo: cajulo ya unfamauleg y camamo. Ya enseguidas cajulo.
“Aeneas,” Peter said to him, “Jesus Christ cures you. Get up, and make your bed.” Aeneas got up at once;
35 Ya todo y mañasaga guiya Lyyda yan. Saron, malie güe; ya jabira sija para y Señot.
and all the inhabitants of Lydda and of the Plain of Sharon saw him, and came over to the Lord’s side.
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.
At Jaffa there lived a disciple whose name was Tabitha, which is in Greek ‘Dorcas’ — a Gazelle. Her life was spent in doing kind and charitable actions.
37 Ya ayo sija na jaane, mumalango, ya matae; ya anae munjayan mafagase, mapolo gui aposento gui san jilo.
Just at that time she was taken ill, and died; and they had washed her body and laid it 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.
Jaffa was near Lydda, and the disciples, having heard that Peter was at Lydda, sent two men with the request that he would come on to them without delay.
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.
Peter returned with them at once. On his arrival, he was taken upstairs, and all the widows came round him in tears, showing the coats and other clothing which Dorcas had made while she was among 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.
But Peter sent everybody out of the room, and knelt down and prayed. Then, turning to the body, he said: “Tabitha! stand up.” She opened her eyes, and, seeing Peter, 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.
Giving her his hand, Peter raised her up, and, calling in the widows and others of Christ’s People, presented her to them alive.
42 Ya matungo todo guiya Joppe; ya megae manmanjonggue ni y Señot.
This became known all through Jaffa, and numbers of People came to believe 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.
And Peter stayed some days at Jaffa with a tanner named Simon.
