Chamorro: Gospels, Acts and Psalms
1And at that time there was raised a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all dispersed through the countries of Judea, and Samaria, except the apostles.
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;
2And devout men took order for Stephen’s funeral, and made great mourning over him.
2Ya y mandeboto na taotao, macatga si Esteban para umajafot, ya dangculo inigungñija pot güiya.
3But Saul made havock of the church, entering in from house to house, and dragging away men and women, committed them to prison.
3Ya si Saulo jayulang y inetnon mangilisyano, ya jumalom gui cada guma, ya jabatatangga y lalaje yan y famalaoan para ufanmapreso.
4They therefore that were dispersed, went about preaching the word of God.
4Enaomina ayo sija y manmachalapon, manjanao para todo y lugat, ya japredidica y sinangan.
5And Philip going down to the city of Samaria, preached Christ unto them.
5Ayonae si Felipe mapos papa gui siuda Samaria, ya japredica guiya sija si Cristo.
6And the people with one accord were attentive to those things which were said by Philip, hearing, and seeing the miracles which he did.
6Ya y linajyan taotao sija, manunoja, ya maatituye ayo sija y sinangan Felipe, anae malie yan majungog y señat ni y finatinasña.
7For many of them who had unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, went out.
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.
8And many, taken with the palsy, and that were lame, were healed.
8Ya guaja un dangculon minagof güije na siuda.
9There was therefore great joy in that city. Now there was a certain man named Simon, who before had been a magician in that city, seducing the people of Samaria, giving out that he was some great one:
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.
10To whom they all gave ear, from the least to the greatest, saying: This man is the power of God, which is called great.
10Ya todo umatituye, desde y diquique asta y dangculo, ilegñija: Este na taotao, y dangculo na ninasiñan Yuus.
11And they were attentive to him, because, for a long time, he had bewitched them with his magical practices.
11Ya mantituye, sa apmam na tiempo na numamanman ni y magicaña.
12But when they had believed Philip preaching of the kingdom of God, in the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
12Lao anae manmanjonggue as Felipe ni y japredica y ebangelio y raenon Yuus, yan y naan Jesucristo, manmatagpange todo, lalaje yan famalaoan.
13Then Simon himself believed also; and being baptized, he adhered to Philip. And being astonished, wondered to see the signs and exceeding great miracles which were done.
13Ya si Simon manjonggue locue; ya anae matagpange, sumisijaja yan Felipe, ya ninamanman anae jalie y milagro yan y señat sija ni y manmafatinas.
14Now when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, had heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John.
14Ya y apostoles, ni y manestataba Jerusalem anae majungog na iya Samaria jaresibe y sinangan Yuus, matago guato si Pedro yan si Juan;
15Who, when they were come, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost.
15Ya anae manmato guato, jatayuyute sija, para ujaresibe y Espiritu Santo:
16For he was not as yet come upon any of them; but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
16(Sa trabia ti tumutunog gui jilo una guiya sija; sa manmatagpangeja pot y naan y Señot Jesus).
17Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
17Ayonae japolo y canaeñija gui jiloñija, ya maresibe y Espiritu Santo.
18And when Simon saw, that by the imposition of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
18Ya anae jalie si Simon na pot y japolo y canaeñija y apostoles, manmannae ni y Espiritu Santo, jaofrese sija salape,
19Saying: Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I shall lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said to him:
19Ilegña: Naeyo locue ni este na ninasiña, ya masqueseaja jaye nae jupolo y canaejo, uresibe y Espiritu Santo.
20Keep thy money to thyself, to perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
20Lao si Pedro, ilegña nu güiya: Y salapemo ufalingo yan jago, sa jinasomo na y ninaen Yuus mafafajan salape.
21Thou hast no part nor lot in this matter. For thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
21Taya pattemo ni suertemo güine, sa y corasonmo ti tunas gui menan Yuus.
22Do penance therefore for this thy wickedness; and pray to God, that perhaps this thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee.
22Enaomina fañotsot ni este y tinaelayemo, ya untayuyute si Yuus, yaguin siña maasie jao ni y jinason y corasonmo.
23For I see thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bonds of iniquity.
23Sa julie na gaegue jao gui lalaet y minalaet, yan y guineden y tinaelaye.
24Then Simon answering, said: Pray you for me to the Lord, that none of these things which you have spoken may come upon me.
24Ayonae manope si Simon, ya ilegña: Tayuyuteyo gui Señot, ya chañija fanmafato guiya guajo ni uno gui este sija sinanganmiyo.
25And they indeed having testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many countries of the Samaritans.
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.
26Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying: Arise, go towards the south, to the way that goeth down from Jerusalem into Gaza: this is desert.
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.
27And rising up, he went. And behold a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch, of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge over all her treasures, had come to Jerusalem to adore.
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.
28And he was returning, sitting in this chariot, and reading Isaias the prophet.
28Ya tumalo guato, ya matachong gui jilo y iyoña carruaje ya jataetae y profeta Isaias.
29And the Spirit said to Philip: Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
29Ya y Espiritu ilegña as Felipe: Janao jijot ya undañae y carruaje.
30And Philip running thither, heard him reading the prophet Isaias. And he said: Thinkest thou that thou understandest what thou readest?
30Ya malago guato guiya güiya si Felipe, ya anae jajungog na jatataetae y profeta Isaias, ilegña: Untungo jafa tinaetataemo?
31Who said: And how can I, unless some man shew me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
31Ya ilegña: Jafa taemano siñayo yaguin taya fumanagüeyo? ya jagaogao na ucajulo ya ujasija matachong.
32And the place of the scripture which he was reading was this: He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb without voice before his shearer, so openeth he not his mouth.
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.
33In humility his judgment was taken away. His generation who shall declare, for his life shall be taken from the earth?
33Ya y inimitdeña nae y juisioña munajanao; ya jaye usinangan claro y generasionña? sa y linâlâfia machule gui tano.
34And the eunuch answering Philip, said: I beseech thee, of whom doth the prophet speak this? of himself, or of some other man?
34Ya y eunuco jaope si Felipe ilegña: Jutayuyut jao, jaye jasangangane y profeta ni este? güiyaja, pat otro taotao?
35Then Philip, opening his mouth, and beginning at this scripture, preached unto him Jesus.
35Ayonae jababa si Felipe y pachotña, ya jatutujon gui este na tinigue sigue di mapredica güe si Jesus.
36And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water; and the eunuch said: See, here is water: what doth hinder me from being baptized?
36Ya mientras jumajanao gui jinanaoñija, manmato gui un janom; ya ilegña y eunuco: Estagüe janom; jafa uchomayo para jumatagpange?
37And Philip said: If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answering, said: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
37Ilegña si Felipe: Yaguin unjonggue contodo y corasonmo, siñaja jao. Ya manope ilegña: Jujonggue na si Jesucristo y Lajin Yuus.
38And he commanded the chariot to stand still; and they went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch: and he baptized him.
38Ya manago na umanasaga y carruaje; ya tumunog y dos gui jalom janom, si Felipe yan y eunuco; ya tinagpange güe.
39And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more. And he went on his way rejoicing.
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.
40But Philip was found in Azotus; and passing through, he preached the gospel to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
40Lao si Felipe esta masoda guiya Asoto; ya malofan inanaco todo manpredidica ebangelio gui siuda todos, asta qui mato güe guiya Sesarea.
