¹And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

¹Nto'u toe wo'o, ngasa' oa' -imi Saulus mpongasai' pai' mpopatehi topetuku' Pue' Yesus. Hilou-i hi Imam Bohe,

²And desired of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound unto Jerusalem.

²pai' -i mperapi' sura kuasa nakeni hilou hi pangkeni tomi posampayaa hi ngata Damsyik, bona ane ria-ra narata to mpotuku' Tudui' Yesus, nahoko' pai' nakeni-ra nculii' hi Yerusalem, ba tomane ba tobine.

³And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:

³Jadi', pomako' -na hilou hi Damsyik tohe'e, mohu' -imi hi ngata, muu-mule' mehini ncorobaa baja ngkai langi' mpotipuhi-i.

⁴And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

⁴Kamodungka-nami pai' na'epe-hawo topololita to mpo'uli' -ki: "Saulus! Saulus! Napa pai' nubalinai' -a?"

⁵And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

⁵Na'uli' Saulus: "Ha hema-ko Pue'?" Na'uli' topololita toei: "Aku' -mile Yesus, to nubalinai' -e!

⁶And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

⁶Wae-pi, memata-moko, mesua' hi rala ngata. Hi ria-damo mpai' ra'uli' -koko napa to kana nubabehi."

⁷And the men which journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.

⁷Ane doo-doo Saulus toera, uma-rapa tepololita, kuyu-ramo nakeni eka' -ra. Apa' ra'epe moto wo'o-rawo topololita toe, aga uma rahiloi hema-i to mololita.

⁸And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

⁸Ngkai ree, mokore-imi Saulus mpobini' mata-na, aga uma-ipi pehilo. Jadi', ratete' -i-damo hilou hi rala ngata Damsyik.

⁹And he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink.

⁹Tolu eo kahae-na bate uma-i pehilo, pai' uma wo'o-i ngkoni' ba nginu.

¹⁰And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.

¹⁰Hi ngata Damsyik toe, ria hadua topetuku' Yesus, Ananias hanga' -na. Nto'u toe, mopangila-i. Hi rala pangila-na toe, Pue' Yesus mpokio' -i, na'uli': "Ananias!" Na'uli' Ananias: "Oi-a Pue'."

¹¹And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth,

¹¹Na'uli' Pue': "Me'ongko' -moko hilou hi ohea to rahanga' Ohea Monoa', hi tomi-na Yudas. Pekune' hi pue' tomi ba ria to Tarsus to rahanga' Saulus. Saulus toei bula-na mosampaya,

¹²And hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming in, and putting his hand on him, that he might receive his sight.

¹²pai' hi rala pangila-na nahilo-ko, Ananias. Nahilo-ko hilou mpohirua' -ki pai' mpojama-i bona pehilo nculii' -imi."

¹³Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:

¹³Na'uli' Ananias: "Pue', wori' tauna to mpotompo'wiwi Saulus tetui. Wori' pebalinai' -na hi topetuku' -nu to hi Yerusalem.

¹⁴And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name.

¹⁴Hiaa' tumai wo'o-imi hi rehe'i, hante kuasa ngkai imam pangkeni, bona mpohoko' hawe'ea tauna to mekakae hi Iko Pue'."

¹⁵But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:

¹⁵Na'uli' Pue' mpo'uli' -ki Ananias: "Bate hilou-ko! Apa' Saulus toei ria, tungkai' kupelihi jadi' topobago-ku. Hi'a mpai' to mpoparata hanga' -ku hi to Yahudi pai' hi tauna to bela-ra to Yahudi, duu' hi magau' wo'o.

¹⁶For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.

¹⁶Ku'uli' moto-ki mpai' kaparia to kana natodohaka sabana petuku' -na hi Aku'."

¹⁷And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost.

¹⁷Jadi', hilou mpu'u-imi Ananias hi tomi to na'uli' Pue' we'i. Karata-na hi ria, najama-i Saulus, na'uli' -ki: "Ompi' -ku Saulus! Pue' Yesus to nuhilo hi lengko ohea katumai-nu toi-e, Hi'a-mi to mpohubui-a tumai mpokinomo-ko. Nahubui-a tumai bona pehilo nculii' -moko, pai' -ko nakuasai Inoha' Tomoroli'."

¹⁸And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized.

¹⁸Nto'u toe, ria to hewa ruke uru molepa' ngkai mata Saulus, pai' pehilo mpu'u-imi. Pokore-nami Saulus, pai' -i raniu' jadi' topetuku' Pue' Yesus.

¹⁹And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.

¹⁹Oti toe, ngkoni' -imi pai' moroho nculii' -imi.

²⁰And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.

²⁰Bula-na hi Damsyik toe, hilou oa' -i hi tomi-tomi posampayaa to Yahudi hi Damsyik, pai' na'uli' -raka: "Yesus, Hi'a-mi Ana' Alata'ala."

²¹But all that heard him were amazed, and said; Is not this he that destroyed them which called on this name in Jerusalem, and came hither for that intent, that he might bring them bound unto the chief priests?

²¹Konce omea-ra to mpo'epe lolita-na, ra'uli': "Ha beiwa-mi-koiwo tohe'i-e? Apa' hi'a toe-mi wengi to mpopatehi tauna to mepue' hi Yesus hi Yerusalem. Pai' patuju-na tumai tetu-e, bona mpohoko' wo'o-ra to hi rehe'i pai' mpokeni-ra hi imam pangkeni hi Yerusalem bona rahuku'."

²²But Saul increased the more in strength, and confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is very Christ.

²²Aga kaboo-bohea baraka' -na Saulus metudui', napakanoto Kayesus-na Magau' Topetolo'. Jadi', to Yahudi hi Damsyik, uma-pi rakulei' mpobaro-i.

²³And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:

²³Ba hangkuja kahae-na ngkai ree, mohawa' -ramo to Yahudi mpopatehi Saulus.

²⁴But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.

²⁴Pohawa' -ra toe, mpodongo hawe'ea wobo' wala ngata, lompe' hi eo-na lompe' hi bengi-na, bona ane liu-ipi mpai', rapatehi-imi. Ntaa' na'inca-di Saulus patuju-ra tohe'e-e.

²⁵Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.

²⁵Jadi', apa' hawe'ea wobo' radongo, Saulus kana mpali' akala-na bona ma'ala-i metibo' ngkai ngata. Toe pai' rala-na hamengi, ba hangkuja dua ana'guru-na Saulus mpokeni-i hilou hi wala tana' to mpotololiki ngata Damsyik, rapopohura-i hi rala karanci, pai' -i ra'ulu hi rala karanci toe ngkai lolo wala tana' hilou hi mali ngata, pai' kaliliu metibo' -imi.

²⁶And when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: but they were all afraid of him, and believed not that he was a disciple.

²⁶Nculii' -imi Saulus hilou hi Yerusalem. Karata-na hi ria, doko' napobale-miraka topetuku' Yesus, aga rapoka'eka' -i, apa' ko'ia rapangalai' kametuku' -na mpu'u-mi hi Yesus.

²⁷But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.

²⁷Aga Barnabas-hana, hilou-i mpobale-ki Saulus, pai' napo'ema' -imi hilou hi suro Pue' Yesus. Natutura-raka beiwa Saulus mpohilo Pue' Yesus hi lengko ohea kahilou-na hi Damsyik, pai' beiwa Pue' mpololitai-i. Nalolita wo'o-raka kabia' -na Saulus mpokarebai kareba Pue' Yesus hi Damsyik.

²⁸And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem.

²⁸Ngkai ree, hampodooa-ramo Saulus hante topetuku' Yesus hi Yerusalem, pai' modao' -i hobo' ngata mpoparata kareba Pue' Yesus hante uma ria kakoroa' -na.

²⁹And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.

²⁹Biasa wo'o-i momewai' ngkalolita pai' momehono' hante to Yahudi to mobasa Yunani. Toe pai' to Yahudi toera doko' mpopatehi-i.

³⁰Which when the brethren knew, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.

³⁰Jadi', kara'inca-na ompi' -ompi' hampepangalaa' -na karia-ra to doko' mpopatehi-i, rabawa-imi hilou hi ngata Kaisarea. Ngkai Kaisarea toe, rapope'ongko' -imi hilou hi ngata Tarsus.

³¹Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.

³¹Jadi', nto'u toe uma-pi ria kakoroa' -ra hawe'ea topepangala' hi Pue' Yesus to hi tana' Yudea, Galilea pai' Samaria. Kawoo-woria' tauna to mepangala' hi Yesus pai' kamoroo-rohoa pepangala' -ra. Apa' mengkoru mpu'u-ra hi Pue' Ala, pai' Inoha' Tomoroli' moto to mporohoi nono-ra.

³²And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.

³²Petrus modao' mpencuai' topepangala' hi Pue' Yesus hiapa-apa. Rala-na ha'eo, rata-i hi ngata Lida.

³³And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.

³³Hi ngata Lida toe, mpohirua' -ki hadua tomane, hanga' -na Eneas. Eneas toei walu mpae-imi pungku, uma-i tepemata ngkai poturua-na.

³⁴And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.

³⁴Na'uli' Petrus mpo'uli' -ki: "Eneas, Yesus Kristus mpaka'uri' -ko! Mokore-moko, pai' lulu-mi ali' -nu." Hinto'u toe mpu'u, mokore-imi Eneas.

³⁵And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.

³⁵Hawe'ea tauna hi ngata Lida pai' hi Saron mpohilo kamo'uri' -nami, pai' mepangala' -ramo hi Pue' Yesus.

³⁶Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.

³⁶Uma molaa ngkai Lida toe, ria wo'o ngata to rahanga' Yope. Hi Yope toe, ria hadua tobine to mepangala' hi Yesus, Tabita hanga' -na. Hi rala basa Yunani hanga' -na Dorkas (batua-na: ruha). Lompe' po'ingku-na, pai' wori' petulungia-na hi tauna to mpe'ahii'.

³⁷And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.

³⁷Nto'u Petrus hi Lida, peda' danca Dorkas toei, kaliliu mate. Ka'oti-na raniu', ratu'u-i hi kamar to hi lolo-na.

³⁸And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.

³⁸Topetuku' Yesus hi Yope mpo'epe karia-na Petrus hi Lida, apa' ngata Yope toe mohu' -wadi hi Lida. Toe pai' rahubui rodua tauna hilou hi Petrus, merapi' bona napesahui tumai hi Yope.

³⁹Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.

³⁹Metuku' mpu'u-imi Petrus hilou dohe-ra. Karata-ra hi Yope, kaliliu rapo'ema' -i hilou hi powataa tomate. Hawe'ea tobine tobalu mpotipuhi Petrus. Geo' -ra pai' rapopohiloi-i baju pai' pohea to nadau-raka Dorkas bula-na tuwu' -pidi.

⁴⁰But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

⁴⁰Ngkai ree, Petrus mpohubui-ra omea mpalahii kamar toe, pai' powilingkudu-nami mosampaya. Ka'oti-na mosampaya, pai' -i mponyanyohi tomate, na'uli' -ki: "Tabita, memata-moko!" Hangaa mobini' mpu'u-mi mata-na mponaa Petrus, pai' kaliliu mohura-imi.

⁴¹And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.

⁴¹Petrus mpokakamu pale-na pai' mpo'ore' -i duu' -na mokore. Oti toe, nakio' nculii' -ramo topetuku' Yesus pai' tobalu to nahubui malai-e we'i, pai' na'uli' -raka: "Ohe'i-imi bale-ni, tuwu' nculii' -imi."

⁴²And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.

⁴²Kajadia' toe rajarita hobo' hi ngata Yope, alaa-na wori' tauna mepangala' hi Pue' Yesus.

⁴³And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.

⁴³Oti toe, Petrus tida hi Yope ba hangkuja mengi-pidi kahae-na, mo'oha' hi tomi hadua topobago rewa kuliba to rahanga' Simon.
