1 Sol ho apo gunv nga Ahtu ninyigv mvngjwngnv vdwa rinyingrirula ninyia yalungyachung dula gwngrw talwngbv rila mvritto. Ninyi nyibu butvyachok gvlo vngto,
Meanwhile Saul, still breathing murderous threats against the disciples of the Lord, went to the High Priest,
2 okv Damaskas lo Jius vdwgv kumkunaam lo kaatam nvdubv sitiputa go kooto, ogulvgavbolo ho hoka yvvnyika hv kaapa ridw Ahtu gv lamtvlo vngnv vdwa, hv bunua nyimv jvka nyilo jvka naatung tola okv bunua Jerusalem bv bookar dukubv vla.
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.
3 Sol Damaskas gv pamtv lo aachi svlv nga, dvminmabv nyido gvngv ninyia dooriak loung go ungkato.
While on his journey, as he was nearing Damascus, suddenly a light from the heavens flashed around him.
4 Hv kwdwlo gipvto okv ninyia vlv gamgo mindubv tvvpato, “Sol, Sol! No ogubv nga mvdwkmvku dunv?”
He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him — “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?”
5 Sol tvvkato, “Ahtu, no yvvla?” ho gv vlv ngv minto, “Ngoonv Jisu, noogv mvdwkmvku kunam,” vlv ngv vbv minto.
“Who are you, Lord?” he asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” the voice answered;
6 “Vbvritola gudungto okv pamtv lo vngnyika ho hoka nam mimpare no ogugunyi risvdw.”
“Yet stand up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
7 Sol gv lvkobv nyi vngbam vdwv daktung nyatoku, gamchar guka milin kuma; bunu gaam go tvvpato vbvritola oguguka kaapama.
The men traveling with Saul were meanwhile standing speechless; they heard the sound of the voice, but saw no one.
8 Sol kvdw gvngv godung toku okv ninyigv nyikv nyiktar toku, vbvritola oguachuk goka kaapama. Vbvrikunamv ninyia bunu laak am gakbwng tukula okv ninyia Damaskas lo vnggv toku.
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;
9 Hv alu loum go kaapa kuma, okv ho dw lo hv ogugoka dvkutvngku mato.
and for three days he was unable to see, and took nothing either to eat or to drink.
10 Damaskas lo mvngjwngnv ako doonv gv aminv Ananias. Hv nyikrw kaanamv, ninyia Ahtu minto, “Ananias!” Hv mirwksito, “Ahtu, ngo sika kv.”
Now there was at Damascus a disciple named Ananias, to whom, in a vision, the Lord said: “Ananias.” “Yes, Lord,” he answered.
11 Ahtuv ninyia minto, “Gudungto okv lamtv vngchik bv vngdavngra tvka, okv Judas gv naam lo Tarsus lokv nyi Sol vnam amin go um tvvkato. Hv kumdungdo,
“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,
12 okv hv nyikrwgo kaato Ananias vnam nyi ako ninyigv laakv ninyia kaapa modu kubv vla hipo dubv yuma maato.”
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.”
13 Ananias mirwksuto, “Ahtu, so nyi agv lvkwng lo achialvbv nyi vdwv nga minjipvnv okv Jerusalem lo doonv noogv nyi vdwa hv achialvbv alvmabv rinv ngv.
“Lord,” exclaimed Ananias, “I have heard from many people about this man — how much harm he has done at Jerusalem to your People there.
14 Okv hv Damaskas lo nyibu butv vdwgv lokv nam kumnvjonv nyi vdwa naatung dubv vla naatung nvnv siti pota lala aapvnv.”
And, here, too, he holds authority from the Chief Priests to put in chains all those who invoke your Name.”
15 Ahtu ninyia minto, “Vngnyika, ngo ninyia ngo gvbv ridukubv darlin pvkunv, ogulvgavbolo ngoogv amina Jentail vdwlo okv dvbv vdwlo okv Israel nyi vdwlo chinmu dukubv.
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.
16 Okv ngo atubongv ninyia ngoogv lvgabv hv vdwgo hirukaya nga hinsvkudw ho mvnwng nga ngo ninyia kaatamre.”
I will myself show him all that he has to suffer for my Name.”
17 Vkvlvgabv Ananias vngtoku, Sol ogolo naam lo doopvdw ho aatoku, okv ninyigv laakv ninyia lakpv tola. Hv minto, “Achiboru Sol,” “Ahtu Jisu atubongv nga so aamu pvnv, noogv so aatv ringa lamtv lo noogv kaarwk sunam. Hv nga aamu pvnv ogulvgavbolo nam lvkodv kaapa modu kubv vla okv Darwknv Dowa paamu dukubv vla.”
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.”
18 Vjakpigobv Sol gv nyik lokv ngui asikarik ainggo olinto, okv hv lvkodv kaapa toku. Hv dakrap toku okv baptisma naatoku;
Instantly it seemed as if a film fell from Saul’s eyes, and his sight was restored. Then he got up and was baptized,
19 Okv kochingso hv dvnam dvnyu laku okv ninyigv gwlwkv aakur toku. Sol mvngjwngnv vdwgv lvkobv alu lonyiloum go Damaskas lo doomin gvvto.
and, after he had taken food, he felt his strength return. Saul stayed for some days with the disciples who were at Damascus,
20 Hv Jius vdwgv kumkunaamlo vngdavngra la okv ho Jisu Pwknvyarnv gv Kuunyilo ngvkv vla japrap toku.
and at once began in the Synagogues to proclaim Jesus as the Son of God.
21 Ninyigv minama tvvnv mvnwng ngv lamrwpato okv tvvkato, “So nyi angv mai Jerusalem alo hogv nyi Jisunyi kumnvjoonv nga mvkinv? Okv hv vbv so ogugo mvngla aama sudw ho nyi vdwa naatung la okv bunua nyibu butv vdwgvlo bookur lwkdu kubv ridu nvgori?”
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?”
22 Vbvritola Sol gv japnamv tvvngam yaya toku, okv ninyi Jisu Messiah vla kaatam la mintoku ho Damaskas lo doonv Jius nyi vdwv ninyia yvvka mirwk sinyu matoku.
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.
23 Alu mvngchigo vngro kochinglo, Jius vdwv lvkobv kaarwk suto okv Solnyi mvki dubv rungnyato,
After some time the Jews laid a plot to kill Saul,
24 vbvritola ninyia bunugv rungnam nga mimpa toku. Aluayu bv ninyia mvki dubv vla bunu pamtv gv agilo tooya toku.
but it became known to him. They even watched the gates day and night, to kill him;
25 Vbvritola ayu yupgo lo Sol gv rigvvnam vdwv ninyia chikchiya mvko tvla okv otum gulo doomu gvrila lvkwnglo soolu toku.
but his disciples let him down by night through an opening in the wall, lowering him in a basket.
26 Sol Jerusalem lo vngto okv lvbwlaksu vdwgvlo ribam dubv rito. Vbvritola bunu ninyia lvbwlaksu gubv mvngjwng mato, okv bunu mvnwng ngv ninyia busuto.
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.
27 Vbvrikunamv Barnabas ninyia naarwk sudubv aatoku okv ninyia Apostol vdwgvlo vnggv toku. Hv bunua oguaingbv Sol Ahtu ninyia lamtv lo kaarwk supvdw okv ho Ahtu ninyia oguaingbv raami supvdw mimbwk jitoku. Hv ka bunua mimpa toku Sol gv busukano kumabv Damaskas lo Jisu gv amin bv japgo karku nama.
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.
28 Okv vbvrikunamv Sol bunua lvkobv doobam toku okv Jerusalem bv vngyik kartoku, Ahtu amin bv busukano kumabv japto.
After that, Saul remained in Jerusalem, in close intercourse with the Apostles; and he spoke fearlessly in the Name of the Lord,
29 Hv ka Grik bv japnv Jius vdwa japmi sila okv haak minsuto, vbvritola bunu ninyia mvki dubv rito.
talking and arguing with the Jews of foreign birth, who, however, made attempts to kill him.
30 Vdwlo mvngjwngnv vdwv um chinpa namgola, bunu Solnyi Kaisaria lo aagvto okv ninyia Tarsus lo vngmu toku.
But, when the Brethren found this out, they took him down to Caesarea, and sent him on his way to Tarsus.
31 Okv vkvlgabv ho Judia, Galili, okv Samaria Gvrja lo ho dwa sarsopoyoto. Darwknv Dow gv ridur kolokv hoka gwlwk nyato okv Ahtunyi alvbv mvngjwng nyato, mvngjwng nvngvka kaiyaya toku.
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.
32 Pitar mooku dvdvlo vngsik karto, okv lvko nvnga Lidda lo doonv Pwknvyarnv gv nyi vdwa kaalwkbv hv vngto.
Peter, while traveling from place to place throughout the country, went down to visit the People of Christ living at Lydda.
33 Hoka Ainias vnam nyi ako ninyia kaarwk suto, hv digwngla doonvgo okv gadw lo gudung nyuku mabv anying pinw go dooku nvgo.
There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been bed-ridden for eight years with paralysis.
34 Pitarnyi minto, “Ainias,” “Jisu Kristo nam alvdubv mvpure. Gudungto okv noogv gadwa mvdinmvta tokuka.” Vjakpigobv Ainias gudung toku.
“Aeneas,” Peter said to him, “Jesus Christ cures you. Get up, and make your bed.” Aeneas got up at once;
35 Lidda okv Soran lo doonv nyi mvnwng ngv ninyia kaapa toku, okv Ahtunyi bunu mvngjwng nyatoku.
and all the inhabitants of Lydda and of the Plain of Sharon saw him, and came over to the Lord’s side.
36 Joppa hoka ka Tabita vnam nyimv ako dooto, Hv mvngjwng nvgo. (Grik bv ninyigv amina Dorkas gobv minto, minam si “svdum ako”). Ninyigv singnam mvnwng nga alvnvgobv rito okv heemanv vdwa ridurto.
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.
37 Oogv dw lo hv lvvmala sitoku. Ninyigv svma nga harkak tokula okv pvvya yagv karchung lo joopv toku.
Just at that time she was taken ill, and died; and they had washed her body and laid it out in an upstairs room.
38 Lidda lokv Joppa ngv adu minsu mato, okv vdwlo Joppa lo doonv mvngjwngnv vdwv Pitarnyi Lidda lo doopv vla tvvpa pvkudw, bunu nyi anyigo milwkla vngmu toku, “Ayala ngonu gvlo baapubv aaji labvkv.”
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.
39 Vkvlvgabv Pitar gwnggegwngrap tokula okv bunugv lvkobv vngtoku. Vdwlo hv vngchi tokudw, ninyia pvvya yagv karchung lo chaagv toku, hoka hvngmi mvnwng ngv ninyia doyumto, kapdula okv jvkok laklwk, jvtv Dorkas gv turla doori lo chumji nama ninyia kaatamto.
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.
40 Pitar bunu mvnwng nga karchung agumbv limu tokula, okv guplwk doola kumtoku; vbvrikunamv hv svma takbv dakrwk tola okv minto, “Tabita, gudungto!” hv ninyigv nyikv nyiktar toku, okv vdwlo hv Pitarnyi kaapa tokudw, hv gudung toku.
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.
41 Pitar nvchilo aanwk tola okv ninyia svvdungto. Vbvrikunamv hv mvngjwngnv vdwa, hvngmi vdwa mintala, goklwk toku okv bunua ninyia turdu kubv kaatam nyatoku.
Giving her his hand, Peter raised her up, and, calling in the widows and others of Christ’s People, presented her to them alive.
42 Soogv yunying ngv Joppa mooku mvnwng lo dupwng nyato, okv Ahtunyi achialvgo mvngjwng toku.
This became known all through Jaffa, and numbers of People came to believe in the Lord.
43 Pitar Joppa lo apin mvnv Saimon minam nyi ako lvkobv alu meego doomin gvvtoku.
And Peter stayed some days at Jaffa with a tanner named Simon.
