¹And the apostles and the brethren who were in Judaea heard that the nations also had received the word of God;

¹Le apostluria ai le phral kai sas ande Judea ashunde le Nai Zhiduvuria dinepe kal Del.

²and when Peter went up to Jerusalem, they of the circumcision contended with him,

²Antunchi o Perti gelo ando Jerusalem, ai le shave le Devleske kai sas ande Jerusalem phende leske, ke chi kerdia vorta.

³saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised and hast eaten with them.

³Ai phendias, gelian kal Nai Zhiduvuria, ai xalian lensa.

⁴But Peter began and set forth [the matter] to them in order, saying,

⁴Ai o Petri liape te mothol lenge so kerdilia, phenelas, "Simas ando Joppa, ai sar rhugivas ma, dikhlem viziona, vari so kai miazolas sar ek bari selia, kai sas phangli kal shtar koltsuria, hulelas anda cheri ai avili zhi mande.

⁵I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in an ecstasy I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending like a great sheet, let down by four corners out of heaven, and it came even to me:

⁶Me dikhavas pe kodia selia, ai lem sama, ai dikhlem zhigeni shtare punrhensa, ai sapa, shuporli (chorhe zhigeni), ai chiriklia.

⁶on which having fixed mine eyes, I considered, and saw the quadrupeds of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven.

⁷Ai ashundem ek glaso kai motholas mange, "Wushti opre, Petri, mudar ai xa."

⁷And I heard also a voice saying to me, Rise up, Peter, slay and eat.

⁸Ai me phendem, "Nichi, Devla, ke shoxar chi xalem vari so kai si bi vuzho vai marime."

⁸And I said, In no wise, Lord, for common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.

⁹Ai pe duito data iek glaso avilo anda cheri, "So O Del phendia ke si vuzho, tu na dikh sar bi vuzho."

⁹And a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God has cleansed, do not *thou* make common.

¹⁰Kodia sas mange phendo trivar; porme sa geletar ando cheri.

¹⁰And this took place thrice, and again all was drawn up into heaven;

¹¹Ai eta, strazo trin manush kai sas tradine anda Caesarea karing mande, avile mande kai beshav.

¹¹and lo, immediately three men were at the house in which I was, sent to me from Caesarea.

¹²O Swunto Duxo phenelas mange te zhav lensa, ai gelem, kodole shov lashe avile mansa, ai diam ando kher ande kodola manushesko kai bushol Cornelius.

¹²And the Spirit said to me to go with them, nothing doubting. And there went with me these six brethren also, and we entered into the house of the man,

¹³Kodo manush phendia amenge sar dikhliasas le angelos ande pesko kher, o angelo avilo leste, ai phendia leske, "Trade manush ando Joppa, te anen le Simonos, kodoles kai akharen o Petri,

¹³and he related to us how he had seen the angel in his house, standing and saying [to him], Send [men] to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter,

¹⁴kai mothola tuke o divano, kai tu ai chi familia avena skepime."

¹⁴who shall speak words to thee whereby *thou* shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.

¹⁵Kana lem te dav duma, O Swunto Duxo hulisto pe lende, sar pe amende anda gor,

¹⁵And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them even as upon us also at the beginning.

¹⁶Ai antunchi dema goji kal vorbi kai phendiasas O Del, o Iovano boldia ando pai, numa tume avena bolde ando Swunto Duxo.

¹⁶And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John baptised with water, but *ye* shall be baptised with [the] Holy Spirit.

¹⁷"O Del dia len kodia podarka de sar amenge, kai pachaia ma ando Devles Jesus Kristo, sar sai te na kerav so mothol O Del?"

¹⁷If then God has given them the same gift as also to us when we had believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who indeed was *I* to be able to forbid God?

¹⁸Kana ashunde kado divano, chi mai phende kanch, ai naisin le Devles, phenenas, "O Del dia o keimos vi kal manush kai Nai Zhiduvuria, saxke te avel o iertimos vi len o traio."

¹⁸And when they heard these things they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then indeed God has to the nations also granted repentance to life.

¹⁹Kodola kai sas rhespisaile pala o baio le manushenge kana o Stephen sas mudardo, gele zhande le Phoinicia, ai Cyrus, ai Antioch, phenenas E Vorba le Devleski ferdi le Zhidovonge.

¹⁹They then who had been scattered abroad through the tribulation that took place on the occasion of Stephen, passed through [the country] to Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one but to Jews alone.

²⁰Ai uni mashkar lende sas manush ande Cyprus ai andai Cyrene, kai kana avile ande Antioch, gele kal Grekuria, ai mothonas lenge e lashi viasta pa Jesus Kristo.

²⁰But there were certain of them, Cyprians and Cyrenians, who entering into Antioch spoke to the Greeks also, announcing the glad tidings of the Lord Jesus.

²¹O vas le Devlesko lensa sas, ai buta manush pachaiepe, ai dinepe ka Del.

²¹And [the] Lord's hand was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.

²²Kodia ashundilia zhi kal khan le manushenge kai sas ande khangeri ande Jerusalem; ai trade iekes kai busholas Barnabas, zhi ando Antioch,

²²And the report concerning them reached the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go through as far as Antioch:

²³kana areslo, ai dikhlia o lashimos le Devlesko, raduisailo, ai phendia lenge, savorhenge te beshen ieke ilesa phangle ka Del.

²³who, having arrived and seeing the grace of God, rejoiced, and exhorted all with purpose of heart to abide with the Lord;

²⁴Ke lasho manush sas, pherdo Swunto Duxo ai pachamos; ai but narodo diape ka Del.

²⁴for he was a good man and full of [the] Holy Spirit and of faith; and a large crowd [of people] were added to the Lord.

²⁵Antunchi o Barnabas gelo ande Tarsus, te rodel kodoles kai bushol Saul.

²⁵And he went away to Tarsus to seek out Saul.

²⁶Kana arakhlia les, andia les ando Antioch, iek bersh chidepe andek than andel khangeria, ai sicharenas but narodos. Ando Antioch sas e pervo data kai le disipluria sas akharde le Shave le Devleske.

²⁶And having found [him], he brought him to Antioch. And so it was with them that for a whole year they were gathered together in the assembly and taught a large crowd: and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

²⁷Ande kodia vriama le profeturia gele anda Jerusalem ando Antioch.

²⁷Now in these days prophets went down from Jerusalem to Antioch;

²⁸Iek anda lende kai busholas Agabus wushtilo opre, ai phendia katar O Swunto Duxo ke chi mai avela xaben pe sa e phuv, ai kerdilia kana o Claudius Caesar sas o baro le themengo.

²⁸and one from among them, by name Agabus, rose up and signified by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine over all the inhabited earth, which also came to pass under Claudius.

²⁹Le disipluria dinepe duma, ai te traden xaben sako so dashtila kal phral kai sas ande Judea;

²⁹And they determined, according as any one of the disciples was well off, each of them to send to the brethren who dwelt in Judaea, to minister [to them];

³⁰Ai kerde kadia, trade xaben kal mai phure kai sas ande Judea le Barnabasa ai le Saulosa.

³⁰which also they did, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
