¹And Saul was consenting unto his death. And there arose on that day a great persecution against the church which was in Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.

¹O Saul phendia, "Ke mishto kerde kai mudarde le Stephenos."Ando kodo dies mudarde buten andal shave le Devleske kai sas ande khangeri ande Jerusalem; ai savorhe rhespisaile andal gava karing e Judea ai Samaria,

²And devout men buried Stephen, and made great lamentation over him.

²ferdi le desh u dui apostluria chi gele.

³But Saul laid waste the church, entering into every house, and dragging men and women committed them to prison.

³Le shave le Devleske angroposarde le Stephenos, ai rovenas but pe leski martia. O Saul pa peske rik delas anda khangeria phagavelas, zhalas ande swako kher, ai lelas avri le murshen ai le zhuvlian ai tholas le ande temnitsi.

⁴They therefore that were scattered abroad, went about preaching the word.

⁴Kodola kai rhespisaile sas, zhanas foro forostar ai mothonas e lashi viasta le Devleski.

⁵And Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and proclaimed unto them the Christ.

⁵O Filip gelo ando foro kai sas ande Samaria, ai delas duma pa Kristo.

⁶And the multitudes gave heed with one accord unto the things that were spoken by Philip, when they heard, and saw the signs which he did.

⁶But narodo ashunelas ka Filip so motholas, ashunenas ai dikhenas le mirakluria kai kerelas.

⁷For [from] many of those that had unclean spirits, they came out, crying with a loud voice: and many that were palsied, and that were lame, were healed.

⁷Ke o beng anklelas avri anda but manush kai sas ande lende, ai tsipinas zurales, ai but manush kai nashti phirenas ai uni kai sas bange, lenge punrhe sastile.

⁸And there was much joy in that city.

⁸Baro raduimos sas ando kado foro.

⁹But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who beforetime in the city used sorcery, and amazed the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:

⁹Sas mai anglal ande kodo foro iek manush kai busholas Simon, kai wo miazolas peske bare buchi, wo kerelas le bucha le bengeske, ai o narodo kai sas ande Samaria chudelas pe.

¹⁰to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is that power of God which is called Great.

¹⁰Savorhe dikh katar o mai tsigno zhi ka mai baro, ashunenas leste, ai mothonas, kako si e putiera e bari le Devleski.

¹¹And they gave heed to him, because that of long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.

¹¹Ashunenas leste mishto, ke de dumult chudinas le narodos le buchansa kai kerelas.

¹²But when they believed Philip preaching good tidings concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

¹²Numa kana pachaiepe ande Filip, wo kai motholas lenge e lashi viasta le rehaioski kai si le Devleski ai pa anav le Jesus Kristosko, murhs ai zhuvlia boldepe.

¹³And Simon also himself believed: and being baptized, he continued with Philip; and beholding signs and great miracles wrought, he was amazed.

¹³O Simon, vi wo pac haiape, ai kana boldiape, phirelas le Filiposa, ai dikhelas ai chudelaspe katar le mirakluria ai le bare semnuria kai kerdionas.

¹⁴Now when the apostles that were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:

¹⁴Le apostluria kai sas ande Jerusalem kana ashunde ke o narodo ande Samaria pachaiepe ande Vorba le Devleski, trade le Petres ai le Iovanos lende.

¹⁵who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit:

¹⁵Gele ande Samaria ka kodola manush, rhugisarde lenge, saxke te len O Swunto Duxo;

¹⁶for as yet it was fallen upon none of them: only they had been baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.

¹⁶ke inker chi hulisto sas pe chi iek anda lende; ferdi bolde sas ando anav le Jesusosko,

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

¹⁷Antunchi o Pertri ai o Iovano thode le vas pe lende, ai line O Swunto Duxo.

¹⁸Now when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money,

¹⁸Kana o Simon dikhlia ke O Swunto Duxo sas dino kana le apostluria thode lenge vas pe lende, wo mangelas te del le love,

¹⁹saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.

¹⁹phenelas, "Den i man kadia putiera, saxke kana rhugiv ma i me vari kaske, ai thava le vas pe leste, te lel vi wo O Swunto Duxo."

²⁰But Peter said unto him, Thy silver perish with thee, because thou hast thought to obtain the gift of God with money.

²⁰Numa o Petri phendia leske, "Che love xasavon tusa, ke tu pachaian tu ke e putiera le Devleski sas dini le lovensa.

²¹Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right before God.

²¹Nai tu kanch anda kadia buchi, ai chi poronchis tu: ke cho ilo nai vorta angla Del.

²²Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if perhaps the thought of thy heart shall be forgiven thee.

²²Keisavo anda cho bi lashimos, ai rhugisavo ka Del, te sai kerdiola te iertil tu anda chorho gindo kai sas tu.

²³For I see that thou art in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity.

²³Ke dikhav ke pherdo bi lashimos san, ai o bezex phandel tu."

²⁴And Simon answered and said, Pray ye for me to the Lord, that none of the things which ye have spoken come upon me.

²⁴O Simon del atweto, "Rhugin tume ka Del anda mande, saxke te na kerdiol mange sa le dieli kai phendian mange."

²⁵They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.

²⁵Kana phende so kerdia O Del lenge, ai kana dine duma pa Del, o Petri ai o Iovano geletar palpale ande Jerusalem, ai mothonas e lashi viasta le Devleski ande but foruria le Samaritanonge.

²⁶But an angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza: the same is desert.

²⁶Ai o angelo le Devlesko phendia le Filiposke, phenelas, "Wushti opre ai zha tele South po drom kai hulel ande Jerusalem zhando Gaza," kodo kai si pusta.

²⁷And he arose and went: and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship;

²⁷Wushtilo opre ai gelotar; ai eta, ek Ethiopiano, kai sas sluga (eunuch) tela vas la amperatasaiko busholas Candace, kai sas ande Ethiopia, ai wo lelas sama pe lako sumnakai ai lako mishtimos, ai wo avilo ando Jerusalem te rhugilpe ka Del.

²⁸and he was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.

²⁸Ai porme zhalas khere, sar beshelas pe pesko vurdon jinelas ande Vorba le Devleski pa profeto Isaiah.

²⁹And the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.

²⁹O Swunto Duxo phendia le Filiposke, "Zha mai angle, ai pashos pasha kudo vurdon."

³⁰And Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

³⁰O Filip pashilo pasha leste nashimasa, ai ashunelas sar o Ethiopiano jinelas ande Vorba le Devleski pa profeto Isaiah, ai phushlia les, "Haliares so jines?"

³¹And he said, How can I, except some one shall guide me? And he besought Philip to come up and sit with him.

³¹Kodo manush phendia, "Sar te haliarav te na avela vari kon te mothol mange?" Ai phendia le Filiposke te anklel lesa po vurdon, ai te beshel pasha leste.

³²Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; And as a lamb before his shearer is dumb, So he openeth not his mouth:

³²Ai eta, so jinelas ande Vorba le Devleski, angerde les sar iek bakriorho kai ingeren les te mudaren les; wo sas sar iek vitselo kai chi mothol kanch angla kuko kai rhandel le bal pa leste, chi phuterdia vov si o mui.

³³In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: His generation who shall declare? For his life is taken from the earth.

³³Mekliape tele numa nas lenge mila anda leste, chi kerde leske kris, kon sai dela duma pa kodola kai avena pala leste?

³⁴And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other?

³⁴Ke mudarde les pe kadia phuv. Kodo sluga phendia le Filiposke, "Rhugiv ma tute, phen mange pa kaste del duma o profeto kadia, pa peste del duma vai pa aver vari kon?"

³⁵And Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached unto him Jesus.

³⁵Antunchi o Filip phuterdia o mui, ai de kotsar liape te mothol leske pe lashi viasta le Jesusoski.

³⁶And as they went on the way, they came unto a certain water; and the eunuch saith, Behold, [here is] water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

³⁶Sar zhanas pa drom, arakhle pai; ai wo phendia le Filiposke, "Eta pai, ai sostar te na bolav ma?"

³⁷[And Philip said, If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.]

³⁷O Filip phendia leske, "Te pachasa tu sa che ilesa, sai kerdiol so manges. Wo phendia, "Pachav ke O Jesus Kristo si O Shav le Devlesko."

³⁸And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.

³⁸Aterdiardia o vurdon, ai won huliste tele, vi le dui zhene ando pai, ai o Filip boldia les.

³⁹And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing.

³⁹Kana ankliste avri andai pai, O Swunto Duxo le Devlesko lia le Filipos, ai o eunuch chi mai dikhlia les; numa zhalas pesko drom raduimasa.

⁴⁰But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached the gospel to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.

⁴⁰O Filip arakhlia pe andek foro kai bushol Azotus; ai kotsar zhalas ande Caesarea, numa motholas e lashi viasta le Devleski ande sa le foruria kai nakhelas.
