¹And Saul was consenting to his being killed. And on that day there arose a great persecution against the assembly which was in Jerusalem, and all were scattered into the countries 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 pious men buried Stephen and made great lamentation over him.

²ferdi le desh u dui apostluria chi gele.

³But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into the houses one after another, and dragging off both men and women delivered them up 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.

⁴Those then that had been scattered went through [the countries] announcing the glad tidings of the word.

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

⁵And Philip, going down to a city of Samaria, preached the Christ to them;

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

⁶and the crowds with one accord gave heed to the things spoken by Philip, when they heard [him] and saw the signs which he wrought.

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

⁷For from many who had unclean spirits they went out, crying with a loud voice; and many that were paralysed and 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 great joy in that city.

⁸Baro raduimos sas ando kado foro.

⁹But a certain man, by name Simon, had been before in the city, using magic arts, and astonishing the nation of Samaria, saying 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 had all given heed, from small to great, saying, This is the 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 for a long time he had astonished them by his magic arts.

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

¹²But when they believed Philip announcing the glad tidings concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptised, 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, having been baptised, continued constantly with Philip; and, beholding the signs and great works of power which took place, was astonished.

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.

¹⁴And the apostles who were in Jerusalem, having heard that Samaria had received the word of God, sent to 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, having 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 he was not yet fallen upon any of them, only they were baptised to the name of the Lord Jesus.

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

¹⁷Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received [the] Holy Spirit.

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

¹⁸But Simon, having seen that by the laying on of the hands of the apostles the [Holy] Spirit was given, 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 to me also this power, in order that on whomsoever I may lay 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."

²⁰And Peter said to him, Thy money go with thee to destruction, because thou hast thought that the gift of God can be obtained by 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 upright 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 supplicate the Lord, if indeed the thought of thy heart may 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 thee to be in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness.

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

²⁴And Simon answering said, Supplicate *ye* for me to the Lord, so that nothing may come upon me of the things of which ye have spoken.

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

²⁵They therefore, having testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and announced the glad tidings 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 [the] angel of [the] Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Rise up and go southward on the way which goes down from Jerusalem to 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 rose up and went. And lo, an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a man in power under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to worship at Jerusalem,

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.

²⁸was returning and sitting in his chariot: and he was reading the prophet Esaias.

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

²⁹And the Spirit said to Philip, Approach and join this chariot.

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

³⁰And Philip, running up, heard him reading the prophet Esaias, and said, Dost thou then know what thou art reading of?

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 should I then be able unless some one guide me? And he begged 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.

³²And the passage of the scripture which he read was this: He was led as a sheep to slaughter, and as a lamb is dumb in presence of him that shears him, thus he opens 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 has been taken away, and who shall declare his generation? 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 answering Philip said, I pray thee, concerning whom does the prophet say 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, opening his mouth and beginning from that scripture, announced the glad tidings of Jesus to him.

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

³⁶And as they went along the way, they came upon a certain water, and the eunuch says, Behold water; what hinders my being baptised?

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

³⁸And he commanded the chariot to stop. And they went down both to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptised him.

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."

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

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

⁴⁰And Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through he announced the glad tidings to all the cities till he came to Caesarea.

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.

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.
