Dagiti Aramid 8
1 Inanamungan ni Saulo ti ipapatay ni Esteban. Nangrugi ngarud iti dayta nga aldaw ti pannakaparigat ti iglesia nga adda idiay Jerusalem; ket amin dagiti namati, nagwarasda kadagiti amin a rehion iti Judea ken Samaria, malaksid kadagiti apostoles.
Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the assembly which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles.
2 Impunpon dagiti nainget a tattao ni Esteban ket kasta unay iti panangdung-awda kenkuana.
Devout men buried Stephen and lamented greatly over him.
3 Ngem nakaro ti panangdangran ni Saulo iti iglesia; sinaggaysana dagiti babbalay ket ingguyodna nga inruar dagiti lallaki ken babbai, ket imbaludna ida iti pagbaludan.
But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into every house and dragged both men and women off to prison.
4 Nupay kasta, dagiti namati a naiwaras ket napanda inkaskasaba ti sao.
Therefore those who were scattered abroad went around preaching the word.
5 Simmalog ni Felipe iti siudad iti Samaria ket inwaragawagna kadakuada ti maipapan iti Cristo.
Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ.
6 Idi nangngegan ken nakita iti adu a bilang ti tattao dagiti pagilasinan nga inaramid ni Felipe, sangsangkamaysada a dimngeg a naimbag iti imbagana.
The multitudes listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip when they heard and saw the signs which he did.
7 Ta adu a tattao a linuganan iti narugit nga espiritu ti napaimbag ket uray la agiikkis dagiti narugit nga espiritu bayat a rumrummuarda kadagiti linugananda a tattao; ken adu a paralitiko ken pilay a tattao ti napaimbag.
For unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them. They came out, crying with a loud voice. Many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed.
8 Ket kasta unay ti panagrag-o iti dayta a siudad.
There was great joy in that city.
9 Ngem adda maysa a lalaki iti siudad a managanan Simon, a nagar-aramid iti panagsalamangka kadagiti napalabas a panawen; idi ket pinagsiddaawna dagiti tattao iti Samaria, ket imbagbagana pay nga isuna ket napateg a tao.
But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who used to practice sorcery in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, making himself out to be some great one,
10 Amin dagiti Samaritano, manipud kababaan agingga iti katatan-okan, dimngegda kenkuana; kinunada, “Daytoy a tao ket isu ti pannakabalin ti Dios a naawagan iti Naindaklan.”
to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is that great power of God.”
11 Dimngegda kenkuana, gapu ta pinagsiddaawna ida iti atiddug a tiempo babaen iti panagsalamangkana.
They listened to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.
12 Ngem idi pinatida ti inkasaba ni Felipe maipanggep iti ebanghelio maipapan iti pagarian ti Dios ken iti nagan ni Jesu-Cristo, nabautisaranda, dagiti lallaki ken babbai.
But when they believed Philip preaching good news concerning God’s Kingdom and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
13 Ket uray ni Simon, namati met; kalpasan a nabautisaran isuna, intuloyna a nakikadua ken ni Felipe; idi nakitana dagiti pagilasinan ken addaan pannakabalin nga ar-aramid a naaramid, nagsiddaaw isuna.
Simon himself also believed. Being baptized, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed.
14 Ita, idi nangngegan dagiti apostoles idiay Jerusalem a naawat ti Samaria ti sao ti Dios, imbaonda kadakuada ni Pedro ken ni Juan.
Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,
15 Idi simmalogda, inkararaganda ida; tapno awatenda ti Espiritu Santo.
who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;
16 Ta agingga iti dayta a tiempo, saan nga immay ti Espiritu Santo iti uray siasino kadakuada, nabautisaranda laeng iti nagan ni Apo Jesus.
for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of Christ Jesus.
17 Ket impatay da Pedro ken ni Juan dagiti imada kadakuada, ket inawatda ti Espiritu Santo.
Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
18 Ita, idi nakita ni Simon a naited ti Espiritu Santo babaen iti panangipatay dagiti apostoles kadagiti imada, nangidiaya isuna iti kuarta kadakuada.
Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money,
19 Kinunana, “Itedyo met kaniak daytoy a pannakabalin, tapno ti siasinoman a pangipatayak kadagiti imak ket awatenna met ti Espiritu Santo.
saying, “Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.”
20 Ngem kinuna ni Pedro kenkuana, “Makipukaw koma kenka ti pirak, gapu ta pinanunotmo a gun-oden ti sagut ti Dios babaen iti kuarta.
But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!
21 Awan paset wenno bingaymo iti daytoy a banag, gapu ta ti adda iti pusom ket saan a maiyannatup iti pagayatan ti Dios.
You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart isn’t right before God.
22 Isu nga agbabawika iti daytoy a kinadangkesmo, ket agkararagka iti Apo, ta bareng no pakawanennaka iti tinarigagayam.
Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
23 Ta makitak nga addaka iti sabidong ti apal ken iti kawkawar ti basol.”
For I see that you are in the poison of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity.”
24 Simmungbat ni Simon ket kinunana, “Ikararagandak iti Dios, nga awan koma kadagitoy a banbanag a naisaoyo ti mapasamak kaniak.”
Simon answered, “Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to me.”
25 Kalpasan iti panangpaneknek da Pedro ken Juan ken insaoda ti sao ti Apo, nagsublida idiay Jerusalem; ket iti dalan, inkaskasabada ti ebanghelio kadagiti adu a bario dagiti Samaritano.
They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Good News to many villages of the Samaritans.
26 Ita, adda anghel ti Apo a nagsao kenni Felipe a kinunana, “Tumakderka ket agpaabagatanka iti dalan a sumalog manipud Jerusalem agingga iti Gaza.” (Daytoy a dalan ket adda iti disierto.)
Then an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise, and go toward the south to the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desert.”
27 Timmakder isuna ket napan. Pagammoan, adda maysa a lalaki a nagtaud idiay Etiopia, maysa a eunuko nga addaan iti dakkel a turay iti babaen ni Candace, a reyna dagiti taga-Etiopia. Isuna ti mangimatmaton kadagiti amin a kinabaknang ti reyna. Immay isuna idiay Jerusalem tapno agdayaw.
He arose and went; and behold, there was a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship.
28 Pasubli isuna ken nakatugaw iti karwahena, ken basbasaenna ti libro ni profeta Isaias.
He was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
29 Kinuna ti Espiritu kenni Felipe, “Sumang-atka ket kuyugem daytoy a karwahe.”
The Spirit said to Philip, “Go near, and join yourself to this chariot.”
30 Nagtaray ngarud ni Felipe a napan kenkuana, ket nangngegna a babsabaen ti lalaki ti insurat ni profeta Isaias, ket kinunana, “Maawatam met laeng kadi ti basbasaem?”
Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”
31 Kinuna ti taga-Etiopia, “Kasano a maawatak, no awan met iti mangidalan kaniak?” Ket nagpakaasi kenni Felipe nga umuli koma iti karwahe ket makitugaw kenkuana.
He said, “How can I, unless someone explains it to me?” He begged Philip to come up and sit with him.
32 Ita, ti paset iti nasantoan a surat a basbasaen ti taga-Etiopia ket daytoy, “Kaiyariganna ti maysa a karnero a maip-ipan iti pagparpartian; ken naulimek isuna a kas iti maysa a karnero nga adda iti sangoanan ti mangpukis kenkuana, saanna nga ungapen ti ngiwatna:
Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he doesn’t open his mouth.
33 Iti pannaikababainna, naikkat ti pannakaukomna: Siasinonto ti mangipakaammo iti kaputotanna? Ta naalan ti biagna manipud iti daga.”
In his humiliation, his judgment was taken away. Who will declare His generation? For his life is taken from the earth.”
34 Nagsaludsod ngarud ti eunuko kenni Felipe a kinunana, “Pangaasim koma, siasino ti dakdakamaten ti profeta?” Ti bagina, wenno sabali a tao?”
The eunuch answered Philip, “Who is the prophet talking about? About himself, or about someone else?”
35 Inrugi ni Felipe nga agsao; inrugina iti daytoy a Nasantoan a Surat iti Isaias nga inkasaba iti eunoko ti maipanggep kenni Jesus.
Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him about Jesus.
36 Iti kaaddada iti dalan, dimtengda iti maysa a bassit a danum; kinuna iti eunuko, “Kitaem, adda danum ditoy; ania iti manglapped kaniak manipud iti pannakabautisar?”
As they went on the way, they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Behold, here is water. What is keeping me from being baptized?”
38 Pinagsardeng ngarud ti taga-Etiopia ti karwahe. Bimmaba iti danum ni Felipe ken ti eunuko, ket binautisaran ni Felipe isuna.
He commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.
39 Idi timmakdangda manipud iti danum, innala ti Espiritu ti Dios ni Felipe: ket saanen a nakita pay ti eunuko isuna, ket agragrag-o isuna a nagtuloy iti panagdaliasatna.
When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch didn’t see him any more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
40 Ngem nagparang ni Felipe idiay Azoto. Nagna isuna iti dayta a rehion ket inkasabana ti ebanghelio kadagiti amin a siudad, agingga a nakadanon isuna idiay Cesarea.
But Philip was found at Azotus. Passing through, he preached the Good News to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.
