¹But Saul, yet breathing threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

¹Ai o Saul, tsipilas ai phenelas te mudarel le disiplon kai sas le Devleske, gelo ka baro rashai,

²and asked of him letters to Damascus unto the synagogues, that if he found any that were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

²ai manglia lestar lila te sai del andel khangeria kai sas ando Damascus, saxke te arakhela manushen, mursh vai zhuvlia kai lenas pe pala Del, te astarel le ai te anel le ando Jerusalem.

³And as he journeyed, it came to pass that he drew nigh unto Damascus: and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven:

³Sar zhalas pa drom, ai sar pasholas pasha Damascus: ek vediara kai avelas anda cheri strefialas kruglom lestar;

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

⁴Pelo pe phuv, ai ashundia ek glaso kai motholas leske, "Saul, Saul, Sostar chinuis ma?"

⁵And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he [said], I am Jesus whom thou persecutest:

⁵Ai wo phendia, "Kon san tu, Devla?" ai O Del phendia, "Me sim O Jesus kai chinuis; trutno tuke te de palpale katar le kanrhe."

⁶but rise, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

⁶Izdralas ai chudisailo, phendia, "Devla, so manges te kerav?" Ai O Del phendia leske, "Wushti opre, zha ando foro, ai mothola tuke so trobul te keres."

⁷And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but beholding no man.

⁷Le manush kai lenaspe pala Saul aterdile, ai chi mai mothonas kanch, ashunenas o glaso, numa chi dikhenas kanikas.

⁸And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

⁸O Saul wushtilo opre katar e phuv, ai marka ke leske iakha phuterde sas, chi dikhelas kanch, line les vastestar ai angerde les ando Damascus.

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

⁹Beshlo trin dies bi te dikhel, ai chi xalia ai chi pelia kanch.

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

¹⁰Sas ando Damascus iek disiplo kai busholas Ananias; O Del phendia leske ande ek vizion, "Ananias ," ai wo phendia, "Eta, me sim katse, Devla."

¹¹And the Lord [said] unto him, Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus: for behold, he prayeth;

¹¹O Del phendia leske, "Wushti opre, zha po drom kai bushol o Chacho, ai rode ando kher le Judasosko iek manush kai bushol Saul, anda Tarsus.

¹²and he hath seen a man named Ananias coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight.

¹²Ke o Saul rhugilpe, ai dikhlia ande vizion iek manush kai bushol Ananias, kai avilo leste ai thodia le vas pe leste, te phuterdiol leske iakha ai te dikhel.

¹³But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how much evil he did to thy saints at Jerusalem:

¹³Porme o Ananias phendia, "Devla, ashundem katar but manush, sar kado manush chinuilas che shaven ande Jerusalem;

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

¹⁴ai si les katse putiera katar le bare rasha te phandavel kodolen kai divinin pa cho anav."

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:

¹⁵Numa O Del phendia leske, "Zha, ke me alosardem kadale manushes, ai thava les te kerel mange buchi, ai te mothol murho anav le kolavre themenge, ka penge amperatsi, ai kal Zhiduvuria;

¹⁶for I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name's sake.

¹⁶ai sikavava leske so godi trobul te chinuil pala murho anav."

¹⁷And Ananias departed, and entered into the house; and laying his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, [even] Jesus, who appeared unto thee in the way which thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

¹⁷Ai o Ananias gelotar, ai kana areslo ando kher; thodhia le vas po Saul ai phendia, "Saul, murho phral, O Del, vi O Jesus kai sikadilo tuke po drom kai avesas katse, wo tradia ma saxke te rhugiv tuke, te dikhes ai te aves pherdo Swunto Duxo.

¹⁸And straightway there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he received his sight; and he arose and was baptized;

¹⁸Strazo pelia anda leske iakha korzhi, ai dikhlia, wushtilo opre, ai boldiape.

¹⁹and he took food and was strengthened. And he was certain days with the disciples that were at Damascus.

¹⁹Ai antunchi kana xalia, pale zurailo. O Saul beshlo xantsi dies le disiplonsa kai sas ando Damascus.

²⁰And straightway in the synagogues he proclaimed Jesus, that he is the Son of God.

²⁰Ai strazo delas duma pa Kristo andel synagoguria, ke O Jesus si O Shav le Devlesko.

²¹And all that heard him were amazed, and said, Is not this he that in Jerusalem made havoc of them that called on this name? and he had come hither for this intent, that he might bring them bound before the chief priests.

²¹Sa le manush kai ashunenas leste chudinaspe, ai mothonas; "Nai kado ke chinuilas ande Jerusalem kodolen kai mothonas pa anav le Devlesko, ai chi avilo katse te phandavel le, ai te angerel le angla le bare rasha?"

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

²²Numa o Saul delas duma pa Del mai but ai mai but putierasa kai avelas katar O Del. Le Zhiduvuria kai sas anda Damascus chi mai zhanenas so te mothon leske, kana sikavelas lenge ke O Jesus si O Kristo.

²³And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him:

²³Neskolki dies pala kodia, le Zhiduvuria denas pe duma te mudaren les;

²⁴but their plot became known to Saul. And they watched the gates also day and night that they might kill him:

²⁴Numa o Saul ashundia pa so mangenas te keren. Vi diese ai vi e riate lenas sama pel vudara le foroske te roden les ai te mudaren les.

²⁵but his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.

²⁵Numa andek riat le disipluria line les, ai nakhade les inchal o zido andek shkonitsa.

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

²⁶Kana areslo ande Jerusalem, o Saul mangelas te zhal te beshel le disiplonsa; numa sa le disipluria daranas lestar, ke chi pachanas ke wo sas ek disiplo le Devlesko.

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 at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.

²⁷O Barnabas lia les pesa, ai angerdia les ka le apostluria, ai phendia lenge sar o Saul dikhlia le Devles po drom, ai wo dia lesa duma, ai sar ando Damascus dia duma pa Del ando anav le Jesusosko chachimasa.

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

²⁸De antunchara o Saul beshlo le disiplonsa ai zhalas avri andai Jerusalem ai avelas palpale, ai dia duma pa Del ando anav le Jesusosko bi darasa,

²⁹preaching boldly in the name of the Lord: and he spake and disputed against the Grecian Jews; but they were seeking to kill him.

²⁹ai delas duma pa Del vi le Zhidovonsa; numa le Zhiduvuria mangenas te mudarenas les.

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

³⁰Le disipluria kana ashunde te mangen te mudaren les, angerde les ande Caesaria, ai trade les te zhal ande Tarsus.

³¹So the church throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being edified; and, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, was multiplied.

³¹E khangeri antunchi ande pacha sas ande sa e Judea, ande Galilee, ande Samaria, e khangeri zuravolas le Devlesa, ai traiinas chachimasa le Devlesa, ai mai but narodo pherdiolas e khangeri ke zhutilas O Swunto Duxo.

³²And it came to pass, as Peter went throughout all parts, he came down also to the saints that dwelt at Lydda.

³²O Petri kai zhalas pe sa o them gelo andek dies kal shave le Devleske kai sas andek foro kai bushol Lydda.

³³And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had kept his bed eight years; for he was palsied.

³³Arakhlia ieke manushes kai busholas Aneneas, kai sas po pato de oxto bersh, ke nashtilas te phirel.

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

³⁴O Petri phendia leske, "Aneneas, O Jesus Kristo sastiarel tu, wushti opre, ai lashar cho pato," ai strazo wushtilo opre.

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

³⁵Sa o narodo kai sas kai e Lydda ai Sharon dikhle les, ai dinepe vi won ka Del.

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.

³⁶Sas ande Joppe mashkar le disipluria ek zhuvli kai busholas Tabitha, kodia znachil Dorcas; woi kerelas mishtimos ai zhutilas le choren.

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

³⁷Naswaili ande kodia vriama ai muli; kana xalade la, angerde la andek soba opre.

³⁸And as Lydda was nigh unto Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men unto him, entreating him, Delay not to come on unto us.

³⁸Sar o foro sas pashe pasha Joppa, le disipluria ashunde ke o Petri kotse sas, trade duie manushen leste, te mangen lestar te avel lende strazo.

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

³⁹O Petri wushtilo opre ai gelo kodole manushensa. Kana areslo, angerde les ande soba kai sas opre, sa le zhuvlia kai sas phivlia sas pasha leste ai rovenas, ai sikavenas leske le gada ai le raxamia kai e Dorcas kerelas, inker kana traiilas.

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

⁴⁰O Petri phendia te anklen savorhe avri, ai thodia pe anda changende, ai rhugisailo, porme gelo karing late ai phendia, "Tabitha, wushti opre." Woi phuterdia le iakha, ai kana dikhlia le Petres, beshli tele.

⁴¹And he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.

⁴¹O Petri delas vas ai zhutisardia la te wushtel opre; ai antunchi akhardia le devlekane ai le phivlian, ai dia la lenge zhuvindi.

⁴²And it became known throughout all Joppa: and many believed on the Lord.

⁴²Kodia diela ande sa Joppa zhanelas o narodo, ai but narodo pachaiepe ando Del.

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

⁴³O Petri beshlo xantsi vriama ando Joppa ka iek manush kai pachaiape ando Del, wo busholas Simon, ek shapozniko.
