1YA si Saulo jaconsiente gui finataeña. Ya ayo ni tiempo, guaja dangculon pinetsigue contra y iglesia guiya Jerusalem; ya todo sija, ni ti apostoles, manmachalapon gui tano Judea, yan Samaria;

1And Saul was there, giving approval to Stephen’s death. On that day a great persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria.

2Ya y mandeboto na taotao, macatga si Esteban para umajafot, ya dangculo inigungñija pot güiya.

2God-fearing men buried Stephen and mourned deeply over him.

3Ya si Saulo jayulang y inetnon mangilisyano, ya jumalom gui cada guma, ya jabatatangga y lalaje yan y famalaoan para ufanmapreso.

3But Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off men and women and put them in prison.

4Enaomina ayo sija y manmachalapon, manjanao para todo y lugat, ya japredidica y sinangan.

4Those who had been scattered preached the word wherever they went.

5Ayonae si Felipe mapos papa gui siuda Samaria, ya japredica guiya sija si Cristo.

5Philip went down to a city in Samaria and proclaimed the Christ to them.

6Ya y linajyan taotao sija, manunoja, ya maatituye ayo sija y sinangan Felipe, anae malie yan majungog y señat ni y finatinasña.

6The crowds gave their undivided attention to Philip’s message and to the signs they saw him perform.

7Sa megae y manáplacha na espiritu, manaagang ni y dangculo na inagang, yan manjujuyong güije todo gui anae mañasaga; yan megae na manparalitico, yan mancojo, manafanjomlo.

7With loud shrieks, unclean spirits came out of many who were possessed, and many of the paralyzed and lame were healed.

8Ya guaja un dangculon minagof güije na siuda.

8So there was great joy in that city.

9Lao guaja un taotao güije na siuda, na y naanña si Simon; ya antes ni tiempo, jaencanta yan jafababa y taotao sija ni y magicaña guiya Samaria, japolo güe na güiya uno dangculo.

9Prior to that time, a man named Simon had practiced sorcery in the city and astounded the people of Samaria. He claimed to be someone great,

10Ya todo umatituye, desde y diquique asta y dangculo, ilegñija: Este na taotao, y dangculo na ninasiñan Yuus.

10and all the people, from the least to the greatest, heeded his words and said, “This man is the divine power called the Great Power.”

11Ya mantituye, sa apmam na tiempo na numamanman ni y magicaña.

11They paid close attention to him because he had astounded them for a long time with his sorcery.

12Lao anae manmanjonggue as Felipe ni y japredica y ebangelio y raenon Yuus, yan y naan Jesucristo, manmatagpange todo, lalaje yan famalaoan.

12But when they believed Philip as he preached the gospel of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

13Ya si Simon manjonggue locue; ya anae matagpange, sumisijaja yan Felipe, ya ninamanman anae jalie y milagro yan y señat sija ni y manmafatinas.

13Even Simon himself believed and was baptized. He followed Philip closely and was astounded by the great signs and miracles he observed.

14Ya y apostoles, ni y manestataba Jerusalem anae majungog na iya Samaria jaresibe y sinangan Yuus, matago guato si Pedro yan si Juan;

14When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them.

15Ya anae manmato guato, jatayuyute sija, para ujaresibe y Espiritu Santo:

15On their arrival, they prayed for them to receive the Holy Spirit.

16(Sa trabia ti tumutunog gui jilo una guiya sija; sa manmatagpangeja pot y naan y Señot Jesus).

16For the Holy Spirit had not yet fallen upon any of them; they had simply been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.

17Ayonae japolo y canaeñija gui jiloñija, ya maresibe y Espiritu Santo.

17Then Peter and John laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

18Ya anae jalie si Simon na pot y japolo y canaeñija y apostoles, manmannae ni y Espiritu Santo, jaofrese sija salape,

18When Simon saw that the Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money.

19Ilegña: Naeyo locue ni este na ninasiña, ya masqueseaja jaye nae jupolo y canaejo, uresibe y Espiritu Santo.

19“Give me this power as well,” he said, “so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”

20Lao si Pedro, ilegña nu güiya: Y salapemo ufalingo yan jago, sa jinasomo na y ninaen Yuus mafafajan salape.

20But Peter replied, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could buy the gift of God with money!

21Taya pattemo ni suertemo güine, sa y corasonmo ti tunas gui menan Yuus.

21You have no part or share in our ministry, because your heart is not right before God.

22Enaomina fañotsot ni este y tinaelayemo, ya untayuyute si Yuus, yaguin siña maasie jao ni y jinason y corasonmo.

22Repent, therefore, of your wickedness, and pray to the Lord. Perhaps He will forgive you for the intent of your heart.

23Sa julie na gaegue jao gui lalaet y minalaet, yan y guineden y tinaelaye.

23For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness and captive to iniquity.”

24Ayonae manope si Simon, ya ilegña: Tayuyuteyo gui Señot, ya chañija fanmafato guiya guajo ni uno gui este sija sinanganmiyo.

24Then Simon answered, “Pray to the Lord for me, so that nothing you have said may happen to me.”

25Enao mina sija, anae guinin janae testimonio yan jasangan y sinangan y Señot, manalo guato Jerusalem, y japredica y ebangelio gui megae na sengsong y taotao Samaria sija.

25And after Peter and John had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the gospel in many of the Samaritan villages.

26Ya y angjet y Señot jacuentuse si Felipe ilegña: Cajulo, ya unjanao guato gui sanjaya gui chalan ni y jumajanao desde Jerusalem, asta Gasa ni y desierto.

26Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Get up and go south to the desert road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.”

27Ya cajulo, ya mapos; ya estagüe un taotao Etiopia na eunuco na gaeninasiña na dangculo gui papa Candase raynan taotao Etiopia sija, ya güiya encatgao todo ni y güinajan y ray na, ya mato Jerusalem para ufanadora.

27So he started out, and on his way he met an Ethiopian eunuch, a court official in charge of the entire treasury of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. He had gone to Jerusalem to worship,

28Ya tumalo guato, ya matachong gui jilo y iyoña carruaje ya jataetae y profeta Isaias.

28and on his return was sitting in his chariot reading Isaiah the prophet.

29Ya y Espiritu ilegña as Felipe: Janao jijot ya undañae y carruaje.

29The Spirit said to Philip, “Go over to that chariot and stay by it.”

30Ya malago guato guiya güiya si Felipe, ya anae jajungog na jatataetae y profeta Isaias, ilegña: Untungo jafa tinaetataemo?

30So Philip ran up and heard the man reading Isaiah the prophet. “Do you understand what you are reading?” Philip asked.

31Ya ilegña: Jafa taemano siñayo yaguin taya fumanagüeyo? ya jagaogao na ucajulo ya ujasija matachong.

31“How can I,” he said, “unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.

32Ya y lugat gui Tinigue ni y jatataetae, taegüine: Macone taegüije y quinilo yaguin macone para umapuno; yan parejo yan y cotdero ni y ti cumecuentos gui menan y dumadasae, taegüejeja ti jabababa y pachotña.

32The eunuch was reading this passage of Scripture: “He was led like a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before the shearer is silent, so He did not open His mouth.

33Ya y inimitdeña nae y juisioña munajanao; ya jaye usinangan claro y generasionña? sa y linâlâfia machule gui tano.

33In His humiliation He was deprived of justice. Who can recount His descendants? For His life was removed from the earth.”

34Ya y eunuco jaope si Felipe ilegña: Jutayuyut jao, jaye jasangangane y profeta ni este? güiyaja, pat otro taotao?

34“Tell me,” said the eunuch, “who is the prophet talking about, himself or someone else?”

35Ayonae jababa si Felipe y pachotña, ya jatutujon gui este na tinigue sigue di mapredica güe si Jesus.

35Then Philip began with this very Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.

36Ya mientras jumajanao gui jinanaoñija, manmato gui un janom; ya ilegña y eunuco: Estagüe janom; jafa uchomayo para jumatagpange?

36As they traveled along the road and came to some water, the eunuch said, “Look, here is water! What is there to prevent me from being baptized?”

37Ilegña si Felipe: Yaguin unjonggue contodo y corasonmo, siñaja jao. Ya manope ilegña: Jujonggue na si Jesucristo y Lajin Yuus.

no verse 37 in this text

38Ya manago na umanasaga y carruaje; ya tumunog y dos gui jalom janom, si Felipe yan y eunuco; ya tinagpange güe.

38And he gave orders to stop the chariot. Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and Philip baptized him.

39Ya anae jumuyong guinin y janom, quinene si Felipe ni y Espiritun y Señot, ya ti linie ni y eunuco mas, lao jasigue y jinanaoña sumenmagof.

39When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, but went on his way rejoicing.

40Lao si Felipe esta masoda guiya Asoto; ya malofan inanaco todo manpredidica ebangelio gui siuda todos, asta qui mato güe guiya Sesarea.

40But Philip appeared at Azotus and traveled through that region, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he came to Caesarea.
