Katuma 9
1 Shawulu anyumo ure aje inka tuma ku inza wanu tarsa ugomo asere, ma haa ahira unu udang ullatima.
But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
2 U nyara inyerte mee saa indi nyame nikara nu guna maka mensimanu tarsa asere adi maskus a ma mekiwee ma ehn ujerusalem ahamna wa rumma nan na eeh.
and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3 maraa anyumo afanu mamu uribe adamas kas, ma iri masa ma suro asesere ma keteme.
As he traveled, it happened that he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.
4 Ma dusa ma rizi adizi ma kuna nimyiran unu tissa umme shawulu, shawulu nyanini ya wuna uzin unu yomo uum.
And he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"
5 Shawulu ma gu hu aveni ugomo asers ma kabirka me ma gumme in manni ugomo asere yesu sa uzin unu yomo umee.
And he said, "Who are you, Lord?" And he said, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
6 Ma gun me hira ribe anyumo ani pin me adi bukuwe imumme sa udi wuu.
But rise up, and enter into the city, and you will be told what you must do."
7 Aroni a tanu ti shawulu wa turin in kufik, wa kunna nimyiran intize sarki u ira unu.
The men who traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the sound, but seeing no one.
8 Ma hiri ma kem urubo ya meki me a chanti me tari a riben me adimas kas.
Saul arose from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could not see anything. They led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
9 Tiye tuma ti taru ini rubomee saki mare daki ma saa.
He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
10 Ure unu tarsa asere maa rani anyumo adimaskas me sa atissa me hananiyai ugomo asere ma buki me tize ati roo.
Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, "Ananias." And he said, "Look, it's me, Lord."
11 Ugomo asere ma gunme hira hana ani kirame sa atisa nin derte a kura a yahuda u ikki una ni zaa shawulu sa ma suro u tasus.
The Lord said to him, "Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus. For look, he is praying,
12 Ma raa nyumo abi ringara ma irri unu sa atisa hananiya ati roo, ma ehzee madi tarme tari bati aje ameme a pagno.
and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight."
13 Hananiya ma ugomo asere mamu kumna ahira anu gbardang, uyomome sa unu ugeme mazi anu awemen ujerusalem.
But Ananias answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem.
14 Anya me nikara ahira unu udandang uka tuma, ma meki vat de sa ma tarsa we.
Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name."
15 Ugomo asere ma gunme hana ma zauka me, ma kurze me, imum ika tuma kami madi han intize tum a hira andesa wa taa me, nan nagomo wana hana ujerusalem.
But the Lord said to him, "Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the children of Israel.
16 Barki imumme sa ma wuzam madi sih ijassi.
For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name's sake."
17 Hananiya ma hirimaka ribe akurame ma tari me tari ma gumme uhaanu (uroni) ugomo asere yesu sa wa gurna nan me unaa mani ma tamman batu aje awe me a pagkino ukuri ukabi bibee biririm.
Ananias departed, and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me, that you may receive your sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit."
18 Saarki u dodonkimo ure imum kasi uhama isuri aje shawulu irizi aje me a pagkino a dusa azorome.
Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was baptized.
19 Mari imum yaree nan ni kara. ma cukuno nan anu tarsa u yesu adimaskas, thiye gbardang.
He took food and was strengthened. He stayed several days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
20 A birime udenge unu gurmee ma turguno tisa uni za ni yesu memani vana asere.
Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed Jesus, that he is the Son of God.
21 Vat anu wa tubi uhumoro, in gusa de sa ma huzza anu ujerusalem barki ni zaa nigemee, ma aye ma mensi anu abanamema haa unu udandang ukatuma.
All who heard him were amazed, and said, "Is not this he who in Jerusalem made havoc of those who called on this name? And he had come here intending to bring them bound before the chief priests."
22 Mu riba manu dimaskas mu kinki mu hunneme sa mazin mu gusa yesu mama ni kirsti.
But Saul increased more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
23 Sa awuna tiye gbardang yahuwawa wa nyari uhuna ume.
When many days were fulfilled, the Jews conspired together to kill him,
24 Wah beh tinaa tukum me unu wai nan niye shawulu ma russi vat imumme sa wa inko.
but their plot became known to Saul. They watched the gates both day and night that they might kill him,
25 A nu tarsa u shawulu me wa zikime inye, wa wume igira waka tuzouzunu a matara.
but his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
26 Sa shawulu ma aye ujerusalem ma nyara utarsa anu tarsa u yesu, vat uwe wa kina biyau, a nyumo u taa me uguna mamu cukuno unu tarsa u yesu.
When Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
27 Barnabas ma ziki me ma hanme a hira ana kaduraka yesu. ma kurzo we u gurna u shawulu nan asere wani tizeme sa asere ma boo me u naa, nan tize sa ma boo aniceh ni yesu adimaskas.
But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.
28 Ma gursuna nan anu ribize nan nu susso anyumo ujerisalem, mazen tize a seseri ani ceh ni yesu ugomo asere.
He was with them coming in and going out in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.
29 Ma kuri ma riajen matara nan ma yahuda wa mu brik, wa kuri wa naye unu nyara uhuna umme.
He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.
30 Sa anu henu me wa tuburko me utaarsus.
When the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him off to Tarsus.
31 A bini me anu tarsa asere u judiya, galile nan u samariya wa kem ti lukum ti mang wann reaje anyumo a tana tu tarsa ugomo asere gbardang nan bibee biririn.
So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
32 Sa bitrus ma mara utarsa uti hihira ma han ma kakem anu asere an de sa wa ciki u lidda.
It happened, as Peter went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.
33 A bini me maka kem urunua sa a tissa me aniyas, ti weeh uwittitari unn kon uwono nire ni kiraa.
There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years, because he was paralyzed.
34 Bitrus ma gun me aniyas yesu kirsti wa humanhu hira tonno mahiri matonno.
Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed." Immediately he arose.
35 Ana ti cukum to lidda nan u sharon sa wa ira anime wa kabi tize ti gomo asere.
All who lived at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
36 Uye ma rani u joppa unu tarsa asere atisa tabitha, uneh mani inka tuma karirin ku benki anu dira.
Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha (which when translated, means Dorcas). This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.
37 A tiye me ma zin unukon, sa ma wono a zoro ikisi me aka nata udenge.
It happened in those days that she fell sick, and died. When they had washed her, they placed her in an upper chamber.
38 Barki u maamu lidda nan u joppa amu tarsa u yeso wa tumi ana wa ree a hira a bitrus ma benkiwe ma ee jibi.
As Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to us.
39 Bitrus ma hiri ma tarsiwe. sa ma hana wa riben me udenge sa ikizi me iranrin. a koro wa ketti me ma soo, unu bizizi ume ti runga nan ti mum sa tabita ma wuza we.
Peter got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper chamber. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
40 Bitrus ma susso we anyumo udenge me, ma tunguno naruu ma wuu biringara ma gamirka u watu ikizi me ma guu”tabita hira” ma pakki aje ma iri bitirus ma hiri macuku no.
Peter put them all out, and kneeled down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, "Tabitha, get up." She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41 Bitirus ma witti me tari ma hiri matonno, ma titti anu tarsa asere nan na koro ma nyawe me uhuma.
He gave her his hand, and raised her up. Calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
42 A bangame a samika vat u joppa anu wa kabi tizee ta sere.
And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
43 Bitrus ma wuu tiye gbardang u joppa nan una riza simon unu duro uti waa.
It happened, that he stayed many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
