< Acts 9 >

1 But Saul, yet breathing out threatening 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 of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any who were of this way of belief, whether they were 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 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus; and suddenly there shone around a him a light from heaven;
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 and he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou 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 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he answered, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
Saulus natane nae, “Malangga mana olaꞌ ia, seka?” Haraꞌ naa nataa nae, “Au, Yesus, fo ho tao doidꞌosoꞌ a.
6 But arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
Fela fo kota rala muu. Dei fo Au ufadꞌe nggo tao sa sia naa.”
7 And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, 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 And Saul arose from the earth; but when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and 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 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
Saulus nda nita sa fai telu. Ma nda naa-ninu saa saꞌ boe.
10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias, and to him the Lord said in a vision, Ananias! And he said, Behold, I am here, 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 And the Lord said to him, Arise, and go into the street called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus; for lo! he prayeth,
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 hath seen a man, named Ananias, coming in and putting his hand on him, that he might receive 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 great evils he hath done to thy 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 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy 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; for this man is to me a chosen vessel, to bear my name before nations, and kings, and the sons 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 myself will show him how great 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 And Ananias went away, and entered the house; and putting his hands on him, he said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus who appeared to thee in the way thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mayst receive 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 And immediately there fell off from his eyes as it were scales; and he received sight, and 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 And having taken some food he was strengthened. And he was some days with the disciples in 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 And immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, 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 And all that heard him were amazed, and said, Is not this he that destroyed in Jerusalem those who called on this name? And he hath come hither for this purpose, that he may bring them bound to 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 gained still more strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt 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 But after many days had passed, the Jews took counsel together to kill him;
Nda dooꞌ sa ma, atahori Yahudi ra raꞌabꞌue rae tao risa e.
24 but their plot became known to Saul; and they were even watching the gates day and night to 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 And when he had come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join himself to the disciples; and 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 related to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that he had spoken to him, and hew he had preached boldly at Damascus 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 And he was with them going in and out at 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 speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. And he often spoke and disputed with the Hellenists; but they were endeavoring to slay 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 But the brethren obtaining knowledge of it, brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth 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 The church therefore throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being built up, and walking in the fear of the Lord; and by the exhortation of the Holy Spirit it was greatly increased.
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 And it came to pass, that as Peter went through the whole country, he came down also to the saints who dwelt 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 And there he found a certain man named AEneas, who had lain on a bed eight years, and was palsied.
Sia naa nandaa no touꞌ esa, naran Eneas. Eni mamaluꞌuꞌ, de nda fela hela mamana susunggu na sa, too falu ena.
34 And Peter said to him, AEneas, Jesus the Christ healeth thee; arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
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 And all that dwelt in Lydda and 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 at Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which name being interpreted is the same as Dorcas, that is, Gazelle. This woman was full of good works and alms-deeds 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 And it came to pass in those days, that she fell sick, and died; and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper chamber.
Faiꞌ esa ma, mama Tabita namahedꞌi, de mate. Ara rariu e, ma mboti ao sisi na, ma ralololi e sia kama ataꞌ.
38 And as Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent to him two men with the entreaty, Do not delay to come to us.
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 Then Peter arose, and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber; and all the widows came to him weeping, and showing the coats and cloaks which Dorcas 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 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down and prayed; and turning to the body he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and seeing 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 And he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling the saints and the 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 And it 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 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
Petrus leo fai hira fai mia atahori sa ume na. Atahori naa, nara na Simon. Ue-tatao na, tukan nameu banda rouꞌ.
