Acts 9
1 Now Saul, whose every breath was a threat of destruction for the disciples of the Lord,
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 went to the High Priest and begged from him letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, in order that if he found any believers there, either men or women, he might bring them in chains 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 But on the journey, as he was getting near Damascus, suddenly there flashed round 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 falling to the ground he heard a voice which said to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting 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 "Who art thou, Lord?" he asked. "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," was the reply.
Saulus natane nae, “Malangga mana olaꞌ ia, seka?” Haraꞌ naa nataa nae, “Au, Yesus, fo ho tao doidꞌosoꞌ a.
6 "But rise and go to the city, and you will be told what you are to do.
Fela fo kota rala muu. Dei fo Au ufadꞌe nggo tao sa sia naa.”
7 Meanwhile the men who travelled with Saul were standing dumb with amazement, hearing a 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 Then he rose from the ground, but when he had opened his eyes, he could not see, and they led him by the arm and brought him to 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 for two days he remained without sight, and did not eat or drink anything.
Saulus nda nita sa fai telu. Ma nda naa-ninu saa saꞌ boe.
10 Now in Damascus there was a disciple of the name of Ananias. The Lord spoke to him in a vision, saying, "Ananias!" "I am here, Lord," he answered.
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 "Rise," said the Lord, "and go to Straight Street, and inquire at the house of Judas for a man called Saul, from Tarsus, for he is actually 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 He has seen a man called Ananias come and lay his hands upon him so that he may recover 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 "Lord," answered Ananias, "I have heard about that man from many, and I have heard of the great mischief he has done to Thy people in 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 is authorized by the High Priests to arrest all who call upon 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 "Go," replied the Lord; "he is a chosen instrument of Mine to carry My name to the Gentiles and to kings and to the descendants 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 let him know the great sufferings which he must pass through for My sake."
Dei fo Au utudꞌu e, fo ana bubꞌuluꞌ doidꞌosoꞌ mataꞌ saa nahani e, huu ana tungga Au.”
17 So Ananias went and entered the house; and, laying his two hands upon Saul, said, "Saul, brother, the Lord--even Jesus who appeared to you on your journey--has sent me, that you may recover 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 Instantly there dropped from his eyes what seemed to be scales, and he could see once more. Upon this he rose and received baptism;
Oras naa, Saulus medꞌa onaꞌ uꞌu unaꞌ e kufa mia mata na, de nita neuꞌ ena. Ana fela, de ara sarani e.
19 after which he took food and regained his strength. Then he remained some little time 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 in the synagogues he began at once to proclaim Jesus as 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 his hearers were all amazed, and began to ask one another, "Is not this the man who in Jerusalem tried to exterminate those who called upon that Name, and came here on purpose to carry them off in chains to the High 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 Saul, however, gained more and more influence, and as for the Jews living in Damascus, he bewildered them with his proofs that Jesus 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 At length the Jews plotted to kill Saul;
Nda dooꞌ sa ma, atahori Yahudi ra raꞌabꞌue rae tao risa e.
24 but information of their intention was given to him. They even watched the gates, day and night, in order to murder 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 hamper.
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 So he came to Jerusalem and made several attempts to associate with the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, being in doubt as to whether he himself 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 Barnabas, however, came to his assistance. He brought Saul to the Apostles, and related to them how, on his journey, he had seen the Lord, and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had fearlessly taught 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 Henceforth Saul was one of them, going in and out of the city,
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 and speaking fearlessly in the name of the Lord. And he often talked with the Hellenists and had discussions with them.
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 they kept trying to take his life. On learning this, the brethren brought him down to Caesarea, and then sent him by sea 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, however, throughout the whole of Judaea, Galilee and Samaria, had peace and was spiritually built up; and grew in numbers, living in the fear of the Lord and receiving encouragement from 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 Now Peter, as he went to town after town, came down also to God's people at Lud.
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 man of the name of Aeneas, who for eight years had kept his bed, through being paralysed.
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 cures you. Rise and make your own bed." He at once rose to his feet.
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 the people of Lud 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 Among the disciples at Jaffa was a woman called Tabitha, or, as the name may be translated, 'Dorcas.' Her life was wholly devoted to the good and charitable actions which she was constantly doing.
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 But, as it happened, just at that time she was taken ill and died. After washing her body they laid it out in a room upstairs.
Faiꞌ esa ma, mama Tabita namahedꞌi, de mate. Ara rariu e, ma mboti ao sisi na, ma ralololi e sia kama ataꞌ.
38 Lud, however, being near Jaffa, the disciples, who had heard that Peter was at Lud, sent two men to him with an urgent request that he would come across to them without delay.
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 So Peter rose and went with them. On his arrival they took him upstairs, and the widow women all came and stood by his side, weeping and showing him the underclothing and cloaks and garments of all kinds which Dorcas used to make while she was still 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, however, putting every one out of the room, knelt down and prayed, and then turning to the body, he said, "Tabitha, rise." Dorcas at once opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, 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 Then, giving her his hand, he raised her to her feet and, calling to him God's people and the widows, he gave her back to them 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 incident became known throughout Jaffa, and many believed in the Lord;
Basa atahori sia Yope rena dudꞌuit naa, de atahori naeꞌ ramahere Lamatuaꞌ Yesus.
43 and Peter remained for a considerable time at Jaffa, staying at the house of a man called 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.
