Ded'enu' ra Dud'uin 9
1 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
Meanwhile Saul, still breathing out threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
2 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.
and asked for letters from him to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them to Jerusalem as prisoners.
3 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.
As he was going along, he drew near to Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.
4 Boe ma ana naꞌaloli. Ana rena haraꞌ esa olaꞌ no e nae, “Saulus! Saulus! Taꞌo bee de ho tao doidꞌoso Au taꞌo ia, e?”
Falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are yoʋ persecuting me?”
5 Saulus natane nae, “Malangga mana olaꞌ ia, seka?” Haraꞌ naa nataa nae, “Au, Yesus, fo ho tao doidꞌosoꞌ a.
Saul said, “Who are yoʋ, Lord?” The Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom yoʋ are persecuting.
6 Fela fo kota rala muu. Dei fo Au ufadꞌe nggo tao sa sia naa.”
But rise and enter the city, and yoʋ will be told what yoʋ must do.”
7 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.
The men who were traveling with Saul stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one.
8 Basa ma Saulus nambariiꞌ. Ana nalaa sobꞌa matan, te nda nita saa saꞌ boe. De ara toꞌu lima na ro e Damsik neu.
Saul rose from the ground, and although his eyes were open, he saw no one. So they led him by the hand and brought him to Damascus.
9 Saulus nda nita sa fai telu. Ma nda naa-ninu saa saꞌ boe.
He went three days without seeing, and neither ate nor drank.
10 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!”
Now there was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias.” He said, “Behold, here I am, Lord.”
11 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.
Then the Lord said to him, “Get up and go to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas look for a man of Tarsus named Saul. For behold, he is praying,
12 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!”
and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and laying his hand on him so that he might receive his sight.”
13 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!
But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about how much evil this man has done to yoʋr saints in Jerusalem.
14 Leleꞌ ia hai rena mae malangga agama ra fee ne koasa fo nema humu basa atahori mana masoꞌ tungga Lamatuaꞌ Yesus Dala Masodꞌa Na.”
And here he has authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call upon yoʋr name.”
15 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.
But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a vessel chosen by me to bring my name before Gentiles, kings, and the sons of Israel.
16 Dei fo Au utudꞌu e, fo ana bubꞌuluꞌ doidꞌosoꞌ mataꞌ saa nahani e, huu ana tungga Au.”
I will show him how much he must suffer for my name's sake.”
17 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.”
So Ananias went and entered the house. Laying his hands on Saul, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to yoʋ on the road by which yoʋ came, has sent me so that yoʋ may receive yoʋr sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
18 Oras naa, Saulus medꞌa onaꞌ uꞌu unaꞌ e kufa mia mata na, de nita neuꞌ ena. Ana fela, de ara sarani e.
Immediately something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he received his sight. Then he rose and was baptized,
19 Boe ma, ana naa-ninu, de ao na o maꞌadere baliꞌ. Saulus feꞌe leo fai hira fai no Lamatuaꞌ Yesus atahori Nara mia Damsik.
and after taking some food, he was strengthened. For several days Saul was with the disciples in Damascus.
20 Ana nisiꞌ atahori Yahudi ra ume hule oꞌe na, de nafadꞌe se nae, “Rena malolole dei! Memaꞌ Yesus, tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ Lamatualain Ana Na.”
Immediately he began preaching in the synagogues that the Christ is the Son of God.
21 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?”
All who heard it were amazed and said, “Is this not the man who in Jerusalem tried to destroy those who call upon this name, and has he not come here for the purpose of bringing them as prisoners to the chief priests?”
22 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.
But Saul grew stronger and kept confounding the Jews who dwelt in Damascus, proving that this man Jesus is the Christ.
23 Nda dooꞌ sa ma, atahori Yahudi ra raꞌabꞌue rae tao risa e.
When many days had past, the Jews took counsel together to kill him,
24 Te Saulus rena siuꞌ dudꞌuꞌa deꞌulakaꞌ naa. Atahori ra tefa e hatu-rerelon sia lelesu ineꞌ a fo rae risa e.
but their plot became known to Saul. They started watching the gates both day and night so that they might kill him.
25 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.
But the disciples took him by night and let him down through a window in the city wall, lowering him in a basket.
26 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.
When Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him because they did not believe that he was a disciple.
27 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.
Barnabas, however, took him and brought him to the apostles. He related to them how Saul had seen the Lord on the road and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how he had been preaching boldly in Damascus in the name of Jesus.
28 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.
So Saul stayed with them and would go into Jerusalem and speak boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus.
29 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.
He would also speak and debate with the Hellenists, but they were trying to kill him.
30 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.
When the brothers found out about it, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
31 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.
So the churches throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were being strengthened. Continuing in the fear of the Lord and in the encouragement of the Holy Spirit, they were being multiplied.
32 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.
Now as Peter was traveling from place to place, he went down to the saints who dwelt in Lydda.
33 Sia naa nandaa no touꞌ esa, naran Eneas. Eni mamaluꞌuꞌ, de nda fela hela mamana susunggu na sa, too falu ena.
There he found a man named Aeneas, who was paralyzed and had been confined to a mat for eight years.
34 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.
Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ has now healed yoʋ; rise and roll up yoʋr mat.” Immediately he rose,
35 Basa atahori sia kambo Lida no kambo Saron rita Eneas hai, ma ramahere neu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus.
and all who dwelt in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord.
36 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.
Now in Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which means “Dorcas”). She was always doing good works and charitable acts.
37 Faiꞌ esa ma, mama Tabita namahedꞌi, de mate. Ara rariu e, ma mboti ao sisi na, ma ralololi e sia kama ataꞌ.
In those days she became sick and died, so they washed her body and laid it in an upper room.
38 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.”
Lydda was near Joppa, so when the disciples heard that Peter was there, they sent for him, urging him not to delay in coming to them.
39 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.
So Peter rose and went with them. When he arrived, they brought him to the upper room, and all the widows stood before him, weeping and showing him all the tunics and cloaks that Dorcas had made while she was still with them.
40 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.
But Peter sent them all outside, knelt down, and prayed. Turning toward the body, he said, “Tabitha, arise.” Then she opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, she sat up.
41 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.
He gave her his hand and raised her up. Then he called in the saints and the widows and presented her alive.
42 Basa atahori sia Yope rena dudꞌuit naa, de atahori naeꞌ ramahere Lamatuaꞌ Yesus.
This became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
43 Petrus leo fai hira fai mia atahori sa ume na. Atahori naa, nara na Simon. Ue-tatao na, tukan nameu banda rouꞌ.
And Peter remained in Joppa for many days with a tanner named Simon.
