Acts 9
1 But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
Leleꞌ naa, Saulus akaꞌ a momoko ma tao doidꞌoso atahori-atahori mana tungga Yesus. Ana o sangga dalaꞌ nae nisa se. Naa de, ana neu nisiꞌ malangga monae agama Yahudi a
2 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.
ma noꞌe susura koasa fo nendi nisiꞌ malangga ume hule-oꞌeꞌ ra sia Damsik. Ana noꞌe nae mete ma nandaa no atahori mana tungga Yesus Dala Masodꞌa Na, mae touꞌ do inaꞌ o, ana toꞌu ma paꞌa se, fo no se Yerusalem reu.
3 As he traveled, he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.
Saulus simbo nala susura koasa ma, no nonoo nara Damsik reu. Ara deka kota naa boe, aiboiꞌ ma manggareloꞌ naronda mia lalai nandaa no Saulus.
4 He fell on the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”
Boe ma ana naꞌaloli. Ana rena haraꞌ esa olaꞌ no e nae, “Saulus! Saulus! Taꞌo bee de ho tao doidꞌoso Au taꞌo ia, e?”
5 He said, “Who are you, Lord?” The Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
Saulus natane nae, “Malangga mana olaꞌ ia, seka?” Haraꞌ naa nataa nae, “Au, Yesus, fo ho tao doidꞌosoꞌ a.
6 But rise up and enter into the city, then you will be told what you must do.”
Fela fo kota rala muu. Dei fo Au ufadꞌe nggo tao sa sia naa.”
7 The men who traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the sound, but seeing no one.
Nonoo nara o rena hara-liiꞌ na boe, te nda rita esa-esa saꞌ boe. Boe ma mopo dudꞌuꞌa nara, de ara hie-hie reuꞌ ena.
8 Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened, he saw no one. They led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus.
Basa ma Saulus nambariiꞌ. Ana nalaa sobꞌa matan, te nda nita saa saꞌ boe. De ara toꞌu lima na ro e Damsik neu.
9 He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
Saulus nda nita sa fai telu. Ma nda naa-ninu saa saꞌ boe.
10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” He said, “Behold, it’s me, Lord.”
Sia naa, hambu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus atahori Na esa, naran Ananias. Lamatuaꞌ natudꞌu mata Na neu e, de noꞌe nae, “Ananias!” Ana nataa nae, “Ia, Lamatuaꞌ!”
11 The Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judah for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying,
Lamatuaꞌ nafadꞌe nae, “Uma dei. Muu sangga Au atahori ngga esa. Misiꞌ Dala Ndos, sia atahori sa naran Yudas ume na. Sia naa, ho sangga atahori Tarsus sa, naran Saulus. Oras ia, ana hule-oꞌe.
12 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.”
Au utudꞌu e, ae dei fo atahori esa neu seꞌu e. Naeni, ho Ananias. De muu ndae lima ma neu e fo ana nita baliꞌ!”
13 But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem.
Te Ananias nataa baliꞌ nae, “Taꞌo ia, Lamatuaꞌ! Hai rena atahori dui-bꞌengga atahori naa, huu ana naꞌasususaꞌ Lamatuaꞌ atahori Nara sia Yerusalem. Losa ara nda bibisaꞌ saa ena!
14 Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.”
Leleꞌ ia hai rena mae malangga agama ra fee ne koasa fo nema humu basa atahori mana masoꞌ tungga Lamatuaꞌ Yesus Dala Masodꞌa Na.”
15 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.
Te Lamatuaꞌ olaꞌ no Ananias fai nae, “Mae onaꞌ naa o, muu dei! Te Au tengga e dadꞌi mana soi dalaꞌ fee Au, fo ana nendi Dudꞌui Malole Ngga fee atahori ma maneꞌ mia nusa feaꞌ ra, ma atahori Israꞌel ra boe.
16 For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.”
Dei fo Au utudꞌu e, fo ana bubꞌuluꞌ doidꞌosoꞌ mataꞌ saa nahani e, huu ana tungga Au.”
17 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.”
Ananias rena Lamatuaꞌ olaꞌ taꞌo naa ma, ana lao nisiꞌ ume naa, de rala neu. Ana ndae lima na neu Saulus, de nae, “Aꞌa Saul. Lamatuaꞌ Yesus fo aꞌa nita mia dalaꞌ leleꞌ aꞌa nema, Ana mana denu au uma undaa o nggo. Ana denu au hule-oꞌe ma ndae lima ngga, fo aꞌa nita baliꞌ. Ana o nau fo aꞌa simbo Dula-dale Meumare Na.”
18 Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was baptized.
Oras naa, Saulus medꞌa onaꞌ uꞌu unaꞌ e kufa mia mata na, de nita neuꞌ ena. Ana fela, de ara sarani e.
19 He took food and was strengthened. Saul stayed several days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
Boe ma, ana naa-ninu, de ao na o maꞌadere baliꞌ. Saulus feꞌe leo fai hira fai no Lamatuaꞌ Yesus atahori Nara mia Damsik.
20 Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed the Christ, that he is the Son of God.
Ana nisiꞌ atahori Yahudi ra ume hule oꞌe na, de nafadꞌe se nae, “Rena malolole dei! Memaꞌ Yesus, tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ Lamatualain Ana Na.”
21 All who heard him were amazed, and said, “Isn’t 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!”
Atahori ra titindindi rena Saulus oꞌola na. De ara ola-olaꞌ rae, “Ana mana tao doidꞌoso Yesus atahori nara mia Yerusalem, to? Ana nema nae toꞌu nendi se risiꞌ malangga agama Yahudi ra! Taꞌo bee ia?”
22 But Saul increased more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
Te Saulus soaꞌ natudꞌu bukti oi Yesus naa, Atahori fo Lamatualain helu nae haitua eniꞌ a maꞌahulu na neu. Saulus nanori onaꞌ naa, de atahori Yahudi ra nda rasenggiꞌ e sa. Naa de, Saulus naran boe nenenehineꞌ sia bee-bꞌee.
23 When many days were fulfilled, the Jews conspired together to kill him,
Nda dooꞌ sa ma, atahori Yahudi ra raꞌabꞌue rae tao risa e.
24 but their plot became known to Saul. They watched the gates both day and night that they might kill him,
Te Saulus rena siuꞌ dudꞌuꞌa deꞌulakaꞌ naa. Atahori ra tefa e hatu-rerelon sia lelesu ineꞌ a fo rae risa e.
25 but his disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
Te tetembaꞌ sa, Saulus nonoo nara hira reu rala e, de tao e mia boa sa rala ma raꞌonda e tungga kota a tembok na, de ana nela hela kota Damsik.
26 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.
Basa ma, Saulus Yerusalem neu. Losa naa, ana sobꞌa neu naꞌabꞌue no Lamatuaꞌ Yesus atahori Nara. Te basa se ramatau e, huu rae neꞌo ana neu tao ao na onaꞌ atahori mamahereꞌ mana tungga Lamatuaꞌ Yesus. Te dei fo ana toꞌu se.
27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.
Te hambu atahori sa, nara na Barnabas. Ana mana fee Lamatuaꞌ dedenu Nara rahine Saulus. Ana dui se, saa fo dadꞌi neu Saulus mia dalaꞌ. Ana o nafadꞌe nae Saulus nandaa no Lamatuaꞌ Yesus ma Yesus o olaꞌ no e boe. Ana dui se Saulus mbaranin nafadꞌe Lamatuaꞌ Yesus Dala Masodꞌa Na neu atahori sia Damsik.
28 He was with them entering into Jerusalem,
Ara rena taꞌo naa ma, basa se simbo Saulus. De ana leo no se mia Yerusalem. Ana nambarani nafadꞌe Lamatuaꞌ Yesus Dudꞌui Malole Na neu sudꞌiꞌ a se.
29 preaching boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus. He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.
Ana naselu no atahori Yahudi hira mana olaꞌ rendi dedꞌea Yunani. Te ara nda nau simbo oꞌola na sa, de ara sangga dalaꞌ rae tao risa e.
30 When the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
Lamatuaꞌ Yesus atahori Nara rena rae atahori sangga dalaꞌ deꞌulakaꞌ ma, ara ro e nisiꞌ kota Kaisarea sia tasiꞌ suun. Basa de ara haitua baliꞌ e nisiꞌ kota Tarsus.
31 So the assemblies throughout all Judea, 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.
Basa boe ma, Yesus atahori nara mana sia nusa Yudea, Galilea, ma Samaria, rasodꞌa no dame. Ara ramaheta, ma tungga Lamatuaꞌ hihii Na. Dula-dale Meumare Na o tao manggatetee rala nara.
32 As Peter went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.
Leleꞌ naa, Petrus hii lao ndule bee-bꞌee fo neu seꞌu Lamatuaꞌ atahori Nara. Faiꞌ sa ma, neu seꞌu atahori mana leo sia kambo Lida.
33 There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years because he was paralyzed.
Sia naa nandaa no touꞌ esa, naran Eneas. Eni mamaluꞌuꞌ, de nda fela hela mamana susunggu na sa, too falu ena.
34 Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed!” Immediately he arose.
Petrus nafadꞌe e nae, “Eneas! Yesus Kristus nahaiꞌ nggo ena. Dadꞌi fela leo! Mulolole mamana susunggu ma!” Eneas rena taꞌo naa ma, ana fela boe.
35 All who lived at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
Basa atahori sia kambo Lida no kambo Saron rita Eneas hai, ma ramahere neu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus.
36 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.
Leleꞌ naa, inaꞌ esa nara na Tabita leo sia kota Yope sia tasi suu na. (Inaꞌ naa nara na sia dedꞌea Yunani oi, ‘Dorkas’, sosoa na oi, ‘rusa’). Ana namahere neu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus. Ana taoꞌ a maloleꞌ neu atahori, ma hii tulu-fali atahori mana tudꞌa-loloeꞌ ra.
37 In those days, she became sick and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
Faiꞌ esa ma, mama Tabita namahedꞌi, de mate. Ara rariu e, ma mboti ao sisi na, ma ralololi e sia kama ataꞌ.
38 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 them.
Ara rena rae Petrus sia Lida. Kota naa lao eiꞌ na fai eꞌetuꞌ sa mia Yope. De ara denu atahori rua reu roꞌe Petrus oi, “Amaꞌ! Hai moꞌe amaꞌ nema lai-lai sia Yope dei.”
39 Peter got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper room. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the tunics and other garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
Petrus rena ma, ana fela de tungga se. Losa naa, ana nisiꞌ mama Tabita kama na. Ina falu ra sofe kama ma nggae ei-ei. Ara ratudꞌu Petrus sira badꞌu nara ma bua-baꞌus fea nara fo mama Dorkas soo fee se leleꞌ ana feꞌe masodꞌaꞌ.
40 Peter sent them all out, and knelt down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
Basa ma, Petrus denu se dea reu. De ana sendeꞌ lululangga na ma hule-oꞌe. Basa ma, ana mbali mamates a, de olaꞌ nae, “Tabita! Fela leo!” Aiboiꞌ ma, inaꞌ a nalaa mata na. Nita Petrus ma, ana fela de endoꞌ.
41 He gave her his hand and raised her up. Calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
Petrus toꞌu lima na de nafefela e. Basa ma, ana noꞌe ina-falu ra ma atahori feaꞌ ra, de fee inaꞌ mana nasodꞌa baliꞌ a, neu se.
42 This became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
Basa atahori sia Yope rena dudꞌuit naa, de atahori naeꞌ ramahere Lamatuaꞌ Yesus.
43 He stayed many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.
Petrus leo fai hira fai mia atahori sa ume na. Atahori naa, nara na Simon. Ue-tatao na, tukan nameu banda rouꞌ.
