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,

¹And Saul was assenting to his death, and there came in that day a great persecution upon the assembly in Jerusalem, all also were scattered abroad in the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles;

²ferdi le desh u dui apostluria chi gele.

²and devout men carried away Stephen, and made great lamentation over him;

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.

³and Saul was making havoc of the assembly, into every house entering, and haling men and women, was giving them up to prison;

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

⁴they then indeed, having been scattered, went abroad proclaiming good news — the word.

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

⁵And Philip having gone down to a city of Samaria, was preaching to them the Christ,

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

⁶the multitudes also were giving heed to the things spoken by Philip, with one accord, in their hearing and seeing the signs that he was doing,

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.

⁷for unclean spirits came forth from many who were possessed, crying with a loud voice, and many who have been paralytic and lame were healed,

⁸Baro raduimos sas ando kado foro.

⁸and there was great joy in that city.

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.

⁹And a certain man, by name Simon, was before in the city using magic, and amazing the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be a certain great one,

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

¹⁰to whom they were all giving heed, from small unto great, saying, `This one is the great power of God;`

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

¹¹and they were giving heed to him, because of his having for a long time amazed them with deeds of magic.

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.

¹²And when they believed Philip, proclaiming good news, the things concerning the reign of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women;

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.

¹³and Simon also himself did believe, and, having been baptized, he was continuing with Philip, beholding also signs and mighty acts being done, he was amazed.

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.

¹⁴And the apostles in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria hath received the word of God, did send unto them Peter and John,

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

¹⁵who having come down did pray concerning them, that they may receive the Holy Spirit, —

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

¹⁶for as yet he was fallen upon none of them, and only they have been baptized — to the name of the Lord Jesus;

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

¹⁷then were they laying hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

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

¹⁸And Simon, having beheld that through the laying on of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Spirit is given, brought before them money,

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."

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

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

²⁰And Peter said unto him, `Thy silver with thee — may it be to destruction! because the gift of God thou didst think to possess through money;

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

²¹thou hast neither part nor lot in this thing, for thy heart is not right before God;

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

²²reform, therefore, from this thy wickedness, and beseech God, if then the purpose of thy heart may be forgiven thee,

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

²³for in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness, I perceive thee being.`

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

²⁴And Simon answering, said, `Beseech ye for me unto the Lord, that nothing may come upon me of the things ye have spoken.`

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.

²⁵They indeed, therefore, having testified fully, and spoken the word of the Lord, did turn back to Jerusalem; in many villages also of the Samaritans they did proclaim good news.

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.

²⁶And a messenger of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, `Arise, and go on toward the south, on the way that is going down from Jerusalem to Gaza,` — this is desert.

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.

²⁷And having arisen, he went on, and lo, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a man of rank, of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to worship to Jerusalem;

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

²⁸he was also returning, and is sitting on his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah.

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

²⁹And the Spirit said to Philip, `Go near, and be joined to this chariot;`

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?"

³⁰and Philip having run near, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, `Dost thou then know what thou dost read?`

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.

³¹and he said, `Why, how am I able, if some one may not guide me?` he called Philip also, having come up, to sit with him.

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.

³²And the contents of the Writing that he was reading was this: `As a sheep unto slaughter he was led, and as a lamb before his shearer dumb, so he doth not open his mouth;

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

³³in his humiliation his judgment was taken away, and his generation — who shall declare? because taken from the earth is his life.`

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?"

³⁴And the eunuch answering Philip said, `I pray thee, about whom doth the prophet say this? about himself, or about some other one?`

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

³⁵and Philip having opened his mouth, and having begun from this Writing, proclaimed good news to him — Jesus.

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

³⁶And as they were going on the way, they came upon a certain water, and the eunuch said, `Lo, water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?`

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."

³⁷[And Philip said, `If thou dost believe out of all the heart, it is lawful;` and he answering said, `I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God;`]

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

³⁸and he commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him;

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.

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 was going on his way rejoicing;

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.

⁴⁰and Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through, he was proclaiming good news to all the cities, till his coming to Cesarea.
