Acts 9
1 Meanwhile Saul, still breathing murderous threats against the disciples of the Lord, went to the High Priest,
Erah tokdi Sool ih Teesu liphante loong ah tek haat etheng ngeh ih tum choophaan rumta. Romwah phokhothoon taang ni heh wang
2 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.
ano Damaskas dowa Jehudi rangsoomnok ni tongte damdoh menjat hoonkaat suh le raangkoh hang ngeh ih suh wangta, tiimnge liidi erah nah o bah uh Teesu Lamphante mok japtup abah, minuh miwah joh ano, Jerusalem nah ngaak siitwan suh ngeh ah.
3 While on his journey, as he was nearing Damascus, suddenly a light from the heavens flashed around him.
Eno Sool Damaskas hah reeni thokkhoom adi, rang nawa baaphuk ih weephaak ano heh teewah ah kookrak ih kaangtookta.
4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him — “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
Sool ah hah ni loongdat adi heh suh li arah japchaatta, “Sool, Sool! An ih ngah tiim esuh siiwi halang?”
5 “Who are you, Lord?” he asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” the voice answered;
Teesu an o ang weelu?” Sool ih ngaak chengta. “Jisu, an ih siiwi halang ah” Mih root ah ngaak jengta.
6 “Yet stand up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
“Eno saatchap uno samnuthung adoh kah uh, an tiim reetheng ah erah nah baat ho eno an re jaatjaat etheng ang ah.”
7 The men traveling with Saul were meanwhile standing speechless; they heard the sound of the voice, but saw no one.
Sool damdi roong kaatte miloong ah, khaapsiit taan uh lajeng ih tangchap rumta; mijeng abah chaat ih rumta enoothong neng mik ih tatup rumta.
8 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;
Sool ah hah nawa saatchap ano heh mik taat kaasokta, eno tiim uh tatupta. Erah thoidi heh lak ni siit rum ano Damaskas ko karumta.
9 and for three days he was unable to see, and took nothing either to eat or to drink.
Sool sa jom edook angta di, tiim uh taajok phaksata.
10 Now there was at Damascus a disciple named Ananias, to whom, in a vision, the Lord said: “Ananias.” “Yes, Lord,” he answered.
Damaskas hah ni mih wasiit Ananias ngeh ih Kristaan mina angta. Erah mih ah ih motmang ni tupta, Jisu ih poonta, “Ananias!” “Ani, Teesu” Ananias ngaak jengta.
11 “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,
Teesu Jisu ih hesuh baatta, “An Lamjang lamjang ih kah uh, Judas nok ni Tarsas nawa raaha rah heh men ah Sool ngeh ih cheng kah uh. Heh ih amadi rangsoomha,
12 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.”
eno heh motmang ni mih wasiit heh men ah Ananias ah nopwang ano heh mik ah we ngaakka thuk suh heh khoh ni taajoh arah japtup ha.”
13 “Lord,” exclaimed Ananias, “I have heard from many people about this man — how much harm he has done at Jerusalem to your People there.
Ananias ih ngaakbaatta, “Teesu, arah mih ah tiit ah warep ih chobaat halang an mina loong ah Jerusalem ni mamah ih siiwi rumha erah ah.
14 And, here, too, he holds authority from the Chief Priests to put in chains all those who invoke your Name.”
Eno Romwah phokhoh loong ah ih Damaskas dowa an rangphoongte loong ah jootkhak thuk suh chaan ah korum ano kaat thuk rumhala.”
15 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.
Teesu ih Ananias suh baatta, “Kah uh, erah mih ah ngah mootkaatte danje hang, Ranglajatte nyia neng luuwang, adoleh Ijirel dowa miloong asuh nga men jatthukte angthuk ang.
16 I will myself show him all that he has to suffer for my Name.”
Eno nga raangtaan ih heh mathan cham theng ah erah ah thoontang noisok ang.”
17 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.”
Erah raangtaan ih, Sool tongta nok adi nop kah ano, Ananias ih heh khoh ni taajoh kata. “Ephoh Sool,” Ananias ih liita, “Teesu Jisu—heh teewah ih kaat thuk halang, an ani ra taho di lam ni an suh tup ih thuk taho. Ngah heh ih kaat thuk halang, an ih we tup toom ih uh nyia an sak nah Esa Chiiala toom raaha ngeh ah.”
18 Instantly it seemed as if a film fell from Saul’s eyes, and his sight was restored. Then he got up and was baptized,
Erah damdam ih, heh mik nawa nyah khoopchep likhiik datti ano Sool mik ah we ngaakka. Sool saatchap ano juutemta;
19 and, after he had taken food, he felt his strength return. Saul stayed for some days with the disciples who were at Damascus,
eno phaksat ah sah ano, hetah hepah ah we ngaakrongta. Sool Damaskaas hah ni Kristaan loong damdi sa hantek tongthiinta.
20 and at once began in the Synagogues to proclaim Jesus as the Son of God.
Jehudi rangsoomnok ni Sool phangla ih kah ano Jisu juuba Rangte Sah ngeh ih phangbaat kaatta.
21 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?”
Heh jeng japchaatte loong ah paatti rum ano cheng rumta, “Jerusalem ni Jisu rangsoomte loong tek haatte ah tanih angka? Jisu rangsoomte loong ah Romwah phokhoh loong reenah jootkhak wan suh tanih ra hala?”
22 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.
Enoothong Sool chaan aphaan pan ih tiit baat kano, Damaskas dowa Jehudi loong tiim uh mi ngaakjeng muh, heh ih Jisu juuba Kristo ngeh ih baat rumta.
23 After some time the Jews laid a plot to kill Saul,
Sa hantek lidi, Jehudi loong ah khoontong rum ano Sool khumtan suh roongwaan rumta,
24 but it became known to him. They even watched the gates day and night, to kill him;
enoothong, heh ih neng kaankoong ah japchaat eta. Rangwu rangphe samnuthung paakaalu adi tek haat esuh taat bansok rumta.
25 but his disciples let him down by night through an opening in the wall, lowering him in a basket.
Enoothong pheesiit Sool liphante loong ah ih hong ni paakaalu lam ih daatpi kaat rumta.
26 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.
Sool Jerusalem ni kah ano Jisu liphante loong damdi chomui taat chungta. Enoothong neng ih Jisu liphante ngeh ih tahanpi rumta, neng loong ah echo ih rumta.
27 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.
Erah di Barnabas ah ra haano kaamwah loong damdi Sool ah chosiitta. Neng loong asuh lam ni Teesu damdi Sool mamah chomuita nyia roongwangta erah tiit ah jangbaat rumta. Damaskas ni Sool lacho laphaan ih Jisu tiit baatta loong ah nep deenbaat rumta.
28 After that, Saul remained in Jerusalem, in close intercourse with the Apostles; and he spoke fearlessly in the Name of the Lord,
Eno neng damdi Sool ah tong ano, Jerusalem hadaang noongrep ni tumkhoomta, Jisu mendi lacho laphaan eh tiitbaatta.
29 talking and arguing with the Jews of foreign birth, who, however, made attempts to kill him.
Sool Grik jengjengte Jehudi loong damdi nep daanmuita, eno erah loong ah ih Sool tek haat esuh chung rumta.
30 But, when the Brethren found this out, they took him down to Caesarea, and sent him on his way to Tarsus.
Kristaan loong ah ih erah japchaat rum ano, Sool ah Kaisiria ko siitkaat rumta, eno heh hadaang Tarsas ni kaat thuk rumta.
31 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.
Eno, Judia, Galili nyia Samaria chaas loong adi semroongroong tong rumta, Esa Chiiala nawa ih mina loong ah rongtangtang angthuk rumta, eno neng loong ah Teesu ah samthun rum ah ih rangphoong rangsoom ih songtong rumta.
32 Peter, while traveling from place to place throughout the country, went down to visit the People of Christ living at Lydda.
Pitar noongrep ni khoomta, Lidda ni tongte Rangte miloong damdi chomui suh jaasiit dongkata.
33 There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been bed-ridden for eight years with paralysis.
Erah hah adi mih wasiit heh men ah Aenias, paang asat heh juptheng ni huimu ih khui arah jinni chomui kata.
34 “Aeneas,” Peter said to him, “Jesus Christ cures you. Get up, and make your bed.” Aeneas got up at once;
“Aenias” Pitar ih poonta, “Jisu ih deesiit ih halu. Saat uh, an dam ah tuithiin uh” erah damdam ih Aenias ah saatta.
35 and all the inhabitants of Lydda and of the Plain of Sharon saw him, and came over to the Lord’s side.
Lidda nyia Sharon hah ni tongte loong ah erah tuprum ano, Teesu liphante ih hoon rumta.
36 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.
Joppa hah ni Tabitha ngeh ih minuh wasiit, Jisu rangsoomte angta. (Grik jenglam ih heh men ah Dorkas angta, erah langla, “Sehui, men angta). Heh roi roitang mootse kaatse kah ano changthih noodek loong ah chosok eta.
37 Just at that time she was taken ill, and died; and they had washed her body and laid it out in an upstairs room.
Erah tokdi erah nuh ah khoisat ih tiita. Heh mang ah chotchaat rum ano lamtok nokkhok ni thiinwan rumta.
38 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.
Joppa hah ah Lidda dowa ih haloh tah angta, Joppa hah dowa hanpiite loong ah ih Pitar Lidda ni ngeh ih japchaat rum ano, mih wanyi wangthuk rum ano erah ruurang tiit ah baatwan thuk rumta, “Seng jiinnah kharok ih ra weeho.”
39 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.
Erah raangtaan ih Pitar ah nengnyi damdi wakkata. Pitar ah thok ano, lamtok nokkhok adi siitwan rumta, Erah di jootiinuh loong ah kookchap ano hu rumta, maangti di waatta samsong nyia nyuh akhat ah bannoi ih rumta.
40 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.
Pitar ih erah nokkhok dowa loongtang doksoon thuk rumta, eno heh lakuh ni tong ano rangsoomta; mang ko ih lektong ano Pitar ih liita, “Tabitha, saat uh” Eno heh mik ah kaasok eta, Pitar ah japtup ano saat tongta.
41 Giving her his hand, Peter raised her up, and, calling in the widows and others of Christ’s People, presented her to them alive.
Pitar ih heh lak ih joh ano toonchap thukta. Pitar ih Kristaan loong nyia jootiinuh loong ah poon ano Tabitha ah ething ngaak korumta.
42 This became known all through Jaffa, and numbers of People came to believe in the Lord.
Erah ruurang ah Joppa hah noongrep ni japchaat rumta, eno mih hantek ih Teesu tiit ah kap ih rumta.
43 And Peter stayed some days at Jaffa with a tanner named Simon.
Pitar ah Joppa hah ni siikhoop pheehoonte Simoon damdi sa hantek waktong thiinta.
