Berean Standard Bible
1A JAULUJ dadaurata a linaranaraki tounpadak en Kaun akan, ap pan kame ir ala, o kola ren jamero lapalap o,
1Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the disciples of the Lord. He approached the high priest
2Poeki re a kijin likau on jinakoke en Damajkuj akan, pwe ma a pan diar meamen, me ianala lamalam, ol de li i en jali irail edi o kalualan Ierujalem.
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.
3A ni a japajapal kokola koren ion Damajkuj, marain eu kodido jan nanlan, jereda i.
3As Saul drew near to Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.
4Ni a pupedi nani pwel, ap ronada nil eu, me majani on i: Jaul, Jaul, da me koe kame kin ia?
4He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?”
5A ap inda: Ij komui Main? A kotin majani: Nai Iejuj, me koe kin kame.
5“Who are You, Lord?” Saul asked. “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting,” He replied.
6Paurida, kolan nan kanim en, nan a pan loki on uk, me koe en wiada.
6“Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
7A ol oko, me ian i kokola, japaimokid, pwe re ronadar nil o, ap jota amen me re kilanadar.
7The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless. They heard the voice but did not see anyone.
8Jauluj paurida jan nan pwel, maj a papad eta, ap jota kilan meamen. A re kolokol pa a, kalualan I Damajkuj.
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.
9I ari jota kilan waja pon jili pon. A jo kan de nim meakot.
9For three days he was without sight, and he did not eat or drink anything.
10A tounpadak amen mi Damajkuj, ad a Ananiaj me Kaun o kotin majani on ni kajanjal eu: Ananiaj! I ari potoan on: let nai Main!
10In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord spoke to him in a vision, “Ananias!” “Here I am, Lord,” he answered.
11Kaun o ap kotin majani on i: Paurida kowei on nani al o, me ad a Inen, ap idok nan im en Iudaj amen, me mar a Jauluj enTarjuj. Pwe kilan, a kapakap
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.
12A kilaner ol amen ni kajanjal eu, me ad a Ananiaj, me ko don i o pwil poa pa a kan, pwe a en kilanki waja.
12In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight.”
13A Ananiaj potoan on: Main, i ronadar ren aramaj toto duen ol men et, duen a kin kaokaoe japwilim ar jaraui kan, me mi Ierujalem.
13But Ananias answered, “Lord, many people have told me about this man and all the harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem.
14O a aleer jan ren jamero lapalap akan manaman, en jaliedi karoj, me kin likwir on mar omui.
14And now he is here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on Your name.”
15A Kaun o kotin majani on i: U kowei, pwe iei ol o, me I piladar, en wala mar ai ren men liki o nanmarki kan o men Ijrael.
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.
16Pwe I pan kajanjale on i duen won a pan kamekameki mar ai.
16I will show him how much he must suffer for My name.”
17Ananiaj ari kola, pedelon on nan im o, pwil poa pa a pokon, indada: Ri (ai) Jaul, Kaun o me kotin porone ia do; iei Iejuj, me kotin pwara don komui nani al o ni omui kokodo, pwe komui en kilanada waja o dire kila Nen jaraui.
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.”
18A madan likamata un en mam akai, me pupedi jan ni maj a, i ari kilanadar waja o udar paptaijelar.
18At that instant, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and his sight was restored. He got up and was baptized,
19I lao manaer, ap kelailadar, ap mimieta ren tounpadak en Damajkuj akan ran akai.
19and after taking some food, he regained his strength. And he spent several days with the disciples in Damascus.
20A madan padapadak nan jinakoke kan duen Iejuj, me i japwilim en Kot.
20Saul promptly began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, declaring, “He is the Son of God.”
21A karoj, me roneron i, puriamui kila indada: Kaidin i, me kin kaokaoe ir, me kin likwir on mar wet nan Ierujalem o kodo waja et, pwen jali ir edi, kalua ren jamero lapalap akan?
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?”
22A Jauluj me manaman kokoda o kapinada Juj oko, me kaujon Damajkuj ni a kawewedar, me i me Krijtuj.
22But Saul was empowered all the more, and he confounded the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ.
23Kadekadeo murin ran toto Juj oko kapun pena en kamela i.
23After many days had passed, the Jews conspired to kill him,
24A Jauluj roner, me re majamajan i; irail pil majamajan wanim akan ni ran o ni pon, pwen kamela i.
24but Saul learned of their plot. Day and night they watched the city gates in order to kill him.
25A tounpadak kan ale i ni pon apiekidi kopou eu jan pon kel o.
25One night, however, his disciples took him and lowered him in a basket through a window in the wall.
26A Jauluj lao pwara don Ierujalem a jojon waroki on tounpadak kan, irail karoj majak i, pwe irail jota kamelele, me i tounpadak amen.
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.
27A Parnapaj ale i o kare don i ren wanporon akan, o katiti on irail, duen a kilanadar Kaun o nani al o, o me a kotin majani on i. o duen a jo majak padapadaki ni mar en Iejuj nan Damajkuj.
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.
28I ari ian irail er kotin pedepedoi jan o pedepedelon on nan lerujalem o padaki aima ni mar en Kaun o.
28So Saul stayed with them, moving about freely in Jerusalem and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.
29I o men Krik kai majan o akamai pena, a re jon kamela i.
29He talked and debated with the Grecian Jews, but they tried to kill him.
30Jaulan kan lao ajaer, ap ian i kolan Jajarea, ap kadaralan i Tarij.
30When the brothers learned of this, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
31A momodijou kan ap popol o pwaidar nan Iudaa, o Kalilaa, a Jamaria, o re weweid ni majak en Kaun o, o toto kilar popol en Nen jaraui.
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.
32A Petruj lao kakan jili nan jap akan, a pil kotila ren me jaraui kan, me kaukaujon Lida.
32As Peter traveled throughout the area, he went to visit the saints in Lydda.
33A diaradar aramaj amen waja o, me ad a Aneaj, me wonon par walu, pwe me kokon danidan.
33There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been paralyzed and bedridden for eight years.
34Petruj ari majani on i: Aneaj, Iejuj Krijtuj kakel uk ada. Paurida, pein lim pena ki om! I ari paurida madan.
34“Aeneas,” Peter said to him, “Jesus Christ heals you! Get up and put away your mat.” Immediately Aeneas got up,
35A karoj me kaukaujon Lida o Jaron, kilanada i, re ap wuki on Kaun o.
35and all who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord.
36A tounpadak li amen mi Ioppe, me ad a Tapea (iet wewe: Torkaj), i me dir en wiawia mau kan o kijakij wei.
36In Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which is translated as Dorcas), who was always occupied with works of kindness and charity.
37A kadekadeo ni ran oko a Jomaudar o melar. Irail lao duper i, ap nekidala nan pera poa.
37At that time, however, she became sick and died, and her body was washed and placed in an upper room.
38A Lida me koren ion lope. Tounpadak kan lao roner, me Petruj kotikot waja o, rap kadarala ol riamen re a, poekipoeki: Kom der peikajal, koti don kit!
38Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples heard that Peter was there and sent two men to urge him, “Come to us without delay.”
39Petruj ari kotida ian ir ala. I lao pwarado, re ap ukadala i pera poa, o li odi karoj u impa, janejan o kapwareda jakit o likau kan, me Torkaj wiadar ni a mimi re ’rail.
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.
40A Petruj kiiei jan ir karoj, ap kelepuki kapakap, ap jaupei on kalep o majani: Tapea. paurida! I ari pad pajan, kilanada Petruj, ap modadar.
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.
41I ari koledi pa a, kauada i. A lao eker pena me jaraui o li odi kan, ap kajale on irail i a maureda.
41Peter took her by the hand and helped her up. Then he called the saints and widows and presented her to them alive.
42Ari a loki jili nan lope, o me toto pojonla Kaun o.
42This became known all over Joppa, and many people believed in the Lord.
43I ari kotikoteta lope ran toto ren jaun me wiada kil en man amen, me ad a Jimon.
43And Peter stayed for several days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.
