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

⁷The men who traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the sound, but seeing no one.

¹⁰Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” He said, “Behold, it’s me, Lord.”

¹¹Ya y Señot ilegña nu güiya: Cajulo ya janao falag y caye ni y mafanaan tunas, ya unaligao y guima Judas, uno na y naanña Saulo, taotao Tarso, sa estagüe na mananaetae,

¹¹The Lord said to him, “Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judah or, Judas for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying,

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

¹³Ya si Ananias, manope ilegña: Señot, megae jujungog ni este na taotao, na megae na taelaye finatinasña gui mañantosmo guiya Jerusalem.

¹³But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem.

¹⁴Ya güine na gaeninasiña guinin y magas mamale, para ugode todo ayo sija y umaagang y naanmo.

¹⁴Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.”

¹⁵Lao y Señot ilegña nu güiya: Janao unjanao; sa güiya y inayeg na nayan guiya guajo, para uchule y naanjo gui menan y Gentiles, yan y ray sija, yan y famaguon Israel:

¹⁵But the Lord said to him, “Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the children of Israel.

¹⁶Sa guajo fumanue güe cuanto mandangculon güinaja, na janesesita umasapet pot y naanjo.

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

¹⁷Ya si Ananias jumanao, ya jumalom gui guima; ya japolo y canaeña guiya güiya, ilegña: Chelujo Saulo, y Señot as Jesus ni y mato guiya jago gui chalan anae mamamaela jao, jatagoyo para usiña unlie, yan unbula ni y Espiritu Santo.

¹⁷Ananias departed, and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me, that you may receive your sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”

¹⁸Ya enseguidas manbasnag guinin y mataña taegüije y guenaf sija: ya manlie, ya cajulo ya matagpange.

²¹All who heard him were amazed, and said, “Isn’t this he who in Jerusalem made havoc of those who called on this name? And he had come here intending to bring them bound before the chief priests!”

²²Lao si Saulo lumalametgotja, yan janafangadon y Judio sija ni y mañasaga Damasco, sa jafanue na este si Cristo.

²⁶¶ Ya anae mato güe Jerusalem, malago na udañae y disipulo sija; lao sija manmaañao nu güiya, ya ti majonggue na disipulo güe.

²⁶When Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
