1Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the disciples of the Lord. He approached the high priest
1YA si Saulo, sisigueja di jumagong juyong y amenaso yan matadura contra y disipulon y Señot, ya mapos para y magas mamale,
2and requested letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any men or women belonging to the Way, he could bring them as prisoners to Jerusalem.
2Ya jagagao catta, para Damasco gui sinagoga, para yaguin jasoda jaye güine na Jinanaoña, masqueseaja, laje pat palaoan, siña ucone preso para Jerusalem.
3As Saul drew near to Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.
3Ya y jinanaoña, susede na matogüe jijot Damasco; ya enseguidas manina gui oriyaña y candet guinen y langet;
4He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?”
4Ya podonggüe gui jilo oda, ya jajungog y inagang na ilegña nu güiya: Saulo, Saulo, sa jafa na unpetsisiguejayo?
5“Who are You, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” He replied.
5Ya ilegña: Jaye jao Señot? ya ilegña: Guajo si Jesus ni y unpetsisigue:
6“Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
6Lao cajulo ya janao falag y siuda, ya ayonae unmasangane jafa unfatinas.
7The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless. They heard the voice but did not see anyone.
7Ya y taotao sija ni y mangachochongña manojgue ya taya cuentosñija; jajujungogja y inagang, lao taya taotao liniiñija.
8Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could not see a thing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus.
8Ya si Saulo cajulo guinin y jilo oda; ya anae mababa y atadogña taya jalie, lao mamantiene canaeña, ya macone guato Damasco.
9For three days he was without sight, and he did not eat or drink anything.
9Ya sumaga güije tres na jaane, ni manatan, yan ni chumocho, yan ni gumimen.
10In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord spoke to him in a vision, “Ananias!” “Here I am, Lord,” he answered.
10Ya estaba güije un disipulo guiya Damasco, na y naanña si Ananias; sa güiya sinangane ni y Señot gui vision, ilegña: Ananias; ya güiya ilegña: Estagüiyajayo Señot.
11“Get up!” the Lord told him. “Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying.
11Ya y Señot ilegña nu güiya: Cajulo ya janao falag y caye ni y mafanaan tunas, ya unaligao y guima Judas, uno na y naanña Saulo, taotao Tarso, sa estagüe na mananaetae,
12In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight.”
12Ya guinin jalie gui vision un taotao na y naanña si Ananias, na mato ya japolo y canaeña guiya güiya para uninafanlie.
13But Ananias answered, “Lord, many people have told me about this man and all the harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem.
13Ya si Ananias, manope ilegña: Señot, megae jujungog ni este na taotao, na megae na taelaye finatinasña gui mañantosmo guiya Jerusalem.
14And now he is here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on Your name.”
14Ya güine na gaeninasiña guinin y magas mamale, para ugode todo ayo sija y umaagang y naanmo.
15“Go!” said the Lord. “This man is My chosen instrument to carry My name before the Gentiles and their kings, and before the people of Israel.
15Lao y Señot ilegña nu güiya: Janao unjanao; sa güiya y inayeg na nayan guiya guajo, para uchule y naanjo gui menan y Gentiles, yan y ray sija, yan y famaguon Israel:
16I will show him how much he must suffer for My name.”
16Sa guajo fumanue güe cuanto mandangculon güinaja, na janesesita umasapet pot y naanjo.
17So Ananias went to the house, and when he arrived, he placed his hands on Saul. “Brother Saul,” he said, “the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
17Ya si Ananias jumanao, ya jumalom gui guima; ya japolo y canaeña guiya güiya, ilegña: Chelujo Saulo, y Señot as Jesus ni y mato guiya jago gui chalan anae mamamaela jao, jatagoyo para usiña unlie, yan unbula ni y Espiritu Santo.
18At that instant, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and his sight was restored. He got up and was baptized,
18Ya enseguidas manbasnag guinin y mataña taegüije y guenaf sija: ya manlie, ya cajulo ya matagpange.
19and after taking some food, he regained his strength. And he spent several days with the disciples in Damascus.
19Ya anae chumocho ninametgot. Ya si Saulo güije sija na jaane dumisipulo guiya Damasco.
20Saul promptly began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, declaring, “He is the Son of God.”
20Ya enseguidas japredica gui sinagoga na si Jesus güiya y Lajin Yuus.
21All who heard him were astounded and asked, “Isn’t this the man who wreaked havoc in Jerusalem on those who call on this name? And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?”
21Lao todo y jumungog güe, ninafanmanman ya ilegñija: Ada ti este ayo y yumulang ayo sija y umagang este na naan guiya Jerusalem? ya guinin mato güine pot enao na jinaso, para ucone ya ugode guato gui magas mamale.
22But Saul was empowered all the more, and he confounded the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ.
22Lao si Saulo lumalametgotja, yan janafangadon y Judio sija ni y mañasaga Damasco, sa jafanue na este si Cristo.
23After many days had passed, the Jews conspired to kill him,
23Ya anae manmalofan megae na jaane, mandaña y Judio sija para umapuno güe.
24but Saul learned of their plot. Day and night they watched the city gates in order to kill him.
24Lao y ninanggañiñija, matungo gui as Saulo. Ya sija japupulanja y trangcasija, jaane yan puenge para umaquepuno güi.
25One night, however, his disciples took him and lowered him in a basket through a window in the wall.
25Ayonae macone puenge ni y disipulo, ya masajguane gui un canastra, ya manatunog gui quelat.
26When Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
26Ya anae mato güe Jerusalem, malago na udañae y disipulo sija; lao sija manmaañao nu güiya, ya ti majonggue na disipulo güe.
27Then Barnabas brought him to the apostles and described how Saul had seen the Lord, who spoke to him on the road to Damascus, and how Saul had spoken boldly in that city in the name of Jesus.
27Lao quinene as Barnabé guato gui disipulo sija, ya jasangane sija jaftaemano y liniiña ni y Señot gui chalan ya jacuentuse nu güiya, ya jaftaemano manpredica matatnga si Saulo güiya Damasco ni y naan Jesus.
28So Saul stayed with them, moving about freely in Jerusalem and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.
28Ya mañisijaja manjuyong yan manjalom guiya Jerusalem.
29He talked and debated with the Grecian Jews, but they tried to kill him.
29Ya japredica matatnga ni y naan Señot Jesus: ya jasangan managuaguat yan y Helenista sija; lao maquequepunoja güe nu sija.
30When the brothers learned of this, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
30Ya anae matungo ni y mañelo, macone güe para Sesarea, ya matago para Tarso.
31Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria experienced a time of peace. It grew in strength and numbers, living in the fear of the Lord and the encouragement of the Holy Spirit.
31Ya mangaepas todo y iglesia sija guiya Judea, yan Galilea, yan Samaria, ya manmamanagüe, ya manmamomocat gui minaañao as Señot, yan y minagof y Espiritu Santo, lumamegae.
32As Peter traveled throughout the area, he went to visit the saints in Lydda.
32Ya susede anae malofan si Pedro gui todo y lugat, na matogüe locue gui mañantos ni y mañasaga Lydda.
33There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been paralyzed and bedridden for eight years.
33Ya mañoda güije un taotao na y naanña si Eneas, na esta ocho años gui cama, sa malango paralitico.
34“Aeneas,” Peter said to him, “Jesus Christ heals you! Get up and put away your mat.” Immediately Aeneas got up,
34Ya ilegña si Pedro nu güiya: Eneas, si Jesucristo unninajomlo: cajulo ya unfamauleg y camamo. Ya enseguidas cajulo.
35and all who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord.
35Ya todo y mañasaga guiya Lyyda yan. Saron, malie güe; ya jabira sija para y Señot.
36In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which is translated as Dorcas), who was always occupied with works of kindness and charity.
36Ya guaja un disipulo guiya Joppe, na y naanña Tabita: na comequeilegña Dorcas; este na palaoan bula manmauleg na chocho, yan limosna sija ni y finatinasña.
37At that time, however, she became sick and died, and her body was washed and placed in an upper room.
37Ya ayo sija na jaane, mumalango, ya matae; ya anae munjayan mafagase, mapolo gui aposento gui san jilo.
38Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples heard that Peter was there and sent two men to urge him, “Come to us without delay.”
38Ya como jijot Lydda guiya Joppe, ya majungog ni y disipulo sija na gaegue güije si Pedro, matago dos taotao para iya güiya, para umagagao: munga atrasao na ufato guiya jame.
39So Peter got up and went with them. On his arrival, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood around him, weeping and showing him the tunics and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them.
39Ayonae cajulo si Pedro, ya jumanao mañisija. Ya anae matogüe, macone guato gui aposento gui san jilo; ya todo y manbiuda manotojgue gui oriyaña ya manatanges ya mafanue ni y magago sija ni y finatinas Dorcas anae manisija.
40Then Peter sent them all out of the room. He knelt down and prayed, and turning toward her body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, she sat up.
40Lao ninafañuja as Pedro, ya dumimo ya manaetae; ya jabira güe guato gui tataotao, ya ilegña: Tabita, cajulo. Ya jababa y atadogña: ya anae jalie si Pedro matachong julo.
41Peter took her by the hand and helped her up. Then he called the saints and widows and presented her to them alive.
41Ya janae si Pedro ni y canaeña, ya jinatsa güe julo; ya si Pedro jaagang todo y mañantos yan y manbiuda, ya japresenta na lâlâ.
42This became known all over Joppa, and many people believed in the Lord.
42Ya matungo todo guiya Joppe; ya megae manmanjonggue ni y Señot.
43And Peter stayed for several days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.
43Ya susede na sumaga si Pedro guiya Joppe megae na jaane gui guima un taotao na y naanña si Simon titumo.
