Acts 8
1 Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the church which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles.
Saulus sia mamanaꞌ naa boe, de naꞌaheiꞌ risa Stefanus.
2 Devout men buried Stephen, and lamented greatly over him.
Leleꞌ naa, hambu atahori hira mana manggate tungga Lamatualain. Stefanus mate ma, ara nggae ei-ei, de reu haꞌi rendi ao sisi na fo raꞌoi. Eniꞌ a faiꞌ naa, atahori raꞌasususaꞌ Lamatuaꞌ Yesus atahori Nara sia Yerusalem, de ara doidꞌoso seli. Basa se rela sea-sarangganggaa risiꞌ propinsi Yudea ma propinsi Samaria. Hela akaꞌ a Yesus dedenu Nara sia Yerusalem.
3 But Saul ravaged the church, entering into every house, and dragged both men and women off to prison.
Te Saulus sangga dalaꞌ nakandooꞌ a fo tao doidꞌoso Yesus atahori nara. Ana sangga se sudꞌiꞌ a sia bee-bꞌee. Ana masoꞌ kalua tungga-tunggaꞌ a ume fo sangga se. Mae touꞌ do inaꞌ o, ana toꞌu fo tao se bui rala reu.
4 Therefore those who were scattered abroad went around proclaiming the word.
Onaꞌ mae atahori raꞌasususaꞌ Yesus atahori nara, losa ara rela sea-saranggaa, te ara nda raloeꞌ dui Lamatuaꞌ Yesus Dudꞌui Malole Na neu atahori sia bee-bꞌee.
5 And Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and proclaimed to them the Messiah.
Onaꞌ a, Filipus. Ana nisiꞌ kota esa sia nusa Samaria de dui atahori ra nae, Kristus fo Lamatualain dudꞌu eniꞌ a maꞌahulu na, naeni Yesus.
6 The crowds listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip, when they heard and saw the signs which he did.
Ana tao manadadꞌiꞌ ra, ma atahori ra raꞌabꞌubꞌue fo rena malolole oꞌola Na.
7 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.
Sia naa hambu atahori nitu taoꞌ ra. Nitu ra lao hela atahori ra no randu rahereꞌ. Atahori mamaluꞌuꞌ ro ei dokaꞌ hetar o hai reuꞌ ena boe.
8 There was great joy in that city.
Naa de atahori mana sia kota naa ramahoꞌo seli.
9 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,
Sia naa hambu atahori mahineꞌ sa, naran Simon. Eniꞌ a dooꞌ ena, ana pake nitu mahine na neu atahori Samaria ra. Ana koa-koaꞌ ao na nae, “Au ia, manaseliꞌ!”
10 to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, "This man is that power of God which is called Great."
Basa moko-anak, touꞌ-inaꞌ, sia kota naa, ola-olaꞌ Simon nara na rae, “Wii! Atahori ia, seli ma! Saa fo ana taoꞌ naa, mia Lamatualain koasa Na!” Huu ana nahine pake nitu a mahine na, de atahori ra hii pake e eniꞌ a dooꞌ ena.
11 They listened to him, because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.
12 But when they believed Philip as he preached good news concerning the Kingdom of God and the name of Jesus (the) Messiah, they were baptized, both men and women.
Te ia naa, ara rena Filipus nanori Lamatualain parenda Na, ma natudꞌu dalaꞌ fo ara dadꞌi Lamatualain atahori Na, nendiꞌ Yesus nara Na. Rena basa ma, naeꞌ ramahere, de masoꞌ dadꞌi Lamatualain bobꞌonggi Na. Mae touꞌ do inaꞌ, ara nau dadꞌi taꞌo naa. Naa de, ara hambu sarani.
13 Simon himself also believed. Being baptized, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed.
Simon o namahere ma nau dadꞌi Yesus atahori Na. De ara sarani e ma ana tungga Filipus sudꞌiꞌ a bee reu. Leleꞌ ana nita manadadꞌiꞌ fo Filipus taoꞌ ra, ana kakaler langgan, oi “We! Ia, seli tebꞌe!”
14 Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,
Leleꞌ naa, Lamatuaꞌ Yesus dedenu Nara mana sia Yerusalem rena rae atahori sia nusaꞌ Samaria ra ramahere Lamatualain Dedꞌea-oꞌola Na. Basa ma, ara denu Petrus no Yohanis naa reu.
15 who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;
Ruꞌa se losa naa, dei de bubꞌuluꞌ atahori mana sia naa ra, nda feꞌe simbo Lamatualain Dula-dale Meumare Na sa. Ara feꞌe a hambu sarani pake Yesus nara Na. De Petrus no Yohanis ndae lima nara neu se, ma hule-oꞌe, roꞌe fo atahori Samaria ra o simbo Lamatualain Dula-dale Meumare Na. Boe ma, ara simbo neuꞌ ena.
16 for he had not yet fallen upon any of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
17 Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
18 Now when Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he offered them money,
Simon o nita Petrus no Yohanis ndae lima nara reu atahori ra, ma ara simbo Lamatualain Dula-dale Na. De ana loo doiꞌ neu ruꞌa se, ma noꞌe nae,
19 saying, "Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit."
“We! Ama nggare! Fee au koasa naa dei. Fo mete ma au tao lima ngga neu se ata, na ara simbo Lamatualain Dula-dale Meumare Na.”
20 But Peter said to him, "May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money.
Te Petrus bua e nae, “Mate mopo nggo mo doi ma! Mbei ma ho mae bisa hasa Lamatualain Dula-dale Na no doiꞌ, do? Hokoꞌ! Atahori nda bisa hasa Lamatulain Dula-dale Na sa.
21 You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart is not right before God.
Ho nda ma hak saa-saa saꞌ boe neu Lamatualain Dula-dale Na, te rala ma nda ndos sa. Ho sanggaꞌ a dala hahambuꞌ soaꞌ neu aom.
22 Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask the Lord if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
Doaꞌ tao salaꞌ leo. Malole lenaꞌ hule-oꞌe neu Lamatualain, fo onaꞌ bee naa, Ana fee ambon neu dudꞌuꞌa deꞌulaka ma.
23 For I see that you are in the gall of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity."
Au bubꞌuluꞌ ho nda nau atahori feaꞌ lenaꞌ nggo sa, ma deꞌulakaꞌ naeꞌ paꞌa nggo!”
24 Simon answered, "Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to me."
Petrus ola basa naa boe ma, Simon noꞌe ruꞌa se nae, “Ama nggare! Mete ma taꞌo naa, tulun hule-oꞌe fee au, fo dedꞌea deꞌulakaꞌ naa, afiꞌ dai au.”
25 They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.
Basa naa ma, Petrus no Yohanis dui Lamatuaꞌ Yesus Dudꞌui Malole Na ma rafadꞌe Lamatualain Dedꞌea-oꞌola Na sia kota naa. Boe ma ara baliꞌ Yerusalem reu. Tungga-tungga dalaꞌ, ara tuli kambo-kamboꞌ sia propinsi Samaria, fo dui Lamatuaꞌ Yesus Dudꞌui Malole Na neu basa atahori sia naa.
26 But 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."
Basa ma, Lamatualain ate Na esa mia sorga denu Filipus nae, “Ana ngge! Lao muu tungga dalaꞌ mana ona neu. Tungga dala mbaraaꞌ naa mana mia Yerusalem nisiꞌ kota Gasa.”
27 And he arose and went. And look, there was a man from Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Kandake, the queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge over all her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship,
Filipus rena parendaꞌ naa boe ma, ana lao neuꞌ ena. Losa dalaꞌ naa ma, nita atahori sa. Eni, atahori monaeꞌ sa mia nusa Etiopia. Ana mana tao mataꞌ neu ratu Kandake hata-heto nara. Ana feꞌe hule-oꞌe basa mia Yerusalem, de ana baliꞌ no kareta. Filipus nita e endoꞌ baca sia kareta ata. Ana baca Lamatulain mana ola-ola Na baꞌi Yesaya susura na.
28 and he was returning. And sitting in his chariot, he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
29 And the Spirit said to Philip, "Go and join up with that chariot."
Lamatualain Dula-dale Na denu Filipus neu deka kareta fo nandaa no atahori naa.
30 And running near, Philip heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, "Do you understand what you are reading?"
Ana deka boe ma, rena atahori naa baca mia baꞌi Yesaya susura na. Natane nae, “Amaꞌ! Muhine saa fo bacaꞌ naa, do, hokoꞌ?”
31 He said, "How can I, unless someone explains it to me?" So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
Nataa nae, “Hokoꞌ. Musi atahori rafadꞌe au, dei fo uhine. Uma endoꞌ mo au sia ia.”
32 Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, "He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and like a lamb before its shearer is silent, so he does not open his mouth.
Susura fo ana bacaꞌ naa, lii na taꞌo ia: “Ara lea E, onaꞌ lea bibꞌi lombo, fo rae hala. Ana dadꞌi onaꞌ bibꞌi lombo anaꞌ fo atahori nggute fulu na, te nda naꞌamee sa. Ana nda nahara sa, ma nda nataa saa saꞌ boe.
33 In his humiliation his justice was taken away. Who will declare His generation? For his life is taken from the earth."
Ara raꞌamuti E; Ma raꞌetuꞌ sala dedꞌea Na. Ara tao risa E, te nda no sala Na saa saꞌ boe. Naa de, hai nda bisa olaꞌ mbei sa boe soꞌal tititi-nonosi Nara.”
34 The eunuch answered Philip, "Who is the prophet talking about? About himself, or about someone else?"
Atahori monaen naa baca basa ma, natane Filipus nae, “Taꞌo bee? Baꞌi Yesaya olaꞌ naa neu ao na, do, olaꞌ neu atahori feaꞌ?”
35 Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him Jesus.
Basa de, Filipus nanori e, Lamatuaꞌ Yesus Dudꞌui Malole Na. Ana dui mia Yesaya susuran naa, ma mia susura feaꞌ ra boe, fo natudꞌu dalaꞌ tungga Yesus.
36 As they went on the way, they came to some water, and the eunuch said, "Look, here is water. What is keeping me from being baptized?"
Ara feꞌe lao-laoꞌ ma, atahori naa nita oe sia loe sa. De ana olaꞌ tute Filipus oꞌola na, ma noꞌe nae, “Amaꞌ. Mete dei! Oe sia naa. Mete ma nau, na, onda teu fo sarani au sia ia leon.”
37 And he said to him, "If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus (the) Messiah is the Son of God."
[Basa ma Filipus nataa nae, “Mete ma amaꞌ mumuhere tebꞌe-tebꞌe Lamatuaꞌ Yesus, naa nda saa saꞌ boe. Ata onda fo au sarani amaꞌ.” Ana naꞌaheiꞌ nae, “Au umuhere tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ Yesus, fo Lamatualain dudꞌu mia dalahulu na neu. Eni, Lamatualain Ana Na.”]
38 He commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.
Boe ma, amaꞌ naa denu kareta na nambariiꞌ. Ara onda de oeꞌ rala reu. Ma Filipus sarani e.
39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him any more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
Ruaꞌ se dea reu mia oe a ma, Lamatualain Dula-dale Meumare Na nendi Filipus nisiꞌ mamana feaꞌ. Atahori monaen naa nda nita e sa ena. Dadꞌi ana lao nakandoo, no rala na namahoꞌo seli.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus. Passing through, he preached the gospel to all the cities, until he came to Caesarea.
Te aiboiꞌ ma Filipus losa kamboꞌ esa, naran Asotus. Mia naa, ana laoꞌ nakandoo fo nafadꞌe Yesus Dudꞌui Malole Na neu atahori. Ana lao tuli basa kamboꞌ losa kota Kaisarea.
