¹Laakiin Sawlos oo weli dhaaranaya inuu cabsiiyo oo dilo xerta Rabbiga, ayuu wuxuu u tegey wadaadkii sare,

¹But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,

²oo weyddiistay warqado uu la tago Dimishaq ilaa sunagogyada, si hadduu helo dadkii Jidka, ha ahaadeen rag ama dumarba, uu iyagoo xidhxidhan Yeruusaalem u keeno.

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.

³Oo kolkuu sodcaalay, waxaa dhacday inuu Dimishaq u soo dhowaaday; oo dhaqsiba waxaa hareerihiisa ka iftiimay iftiin samada ka yimid.

³As he traveled, it happened that he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.

⁴Markaasuu dhulka ku dhacay, oo wuxuu maqlay cod isaga ku leh, Sawlosow, Sawlosow, maxaad ii silcinaysaa?

⁴He fell on the earth, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?”

⁵Markaasuu ku yidhi, Yaad tahay, Sayidow? Wuxuuna ku yidhi, Waxaan ahay Ciisaha aad silcinaysid;

⁵He said, “Who are you, Lord?” The Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. TR adds “It’s hard for you to kick against the goads.”

⁶laakiin kac oo magaalada gal, oo waxaa laguu sheegi doonaa wixii kugu waajib ah inaad samaysid.

⁶ But TR omits “But” rise up, and enter into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”

⁷Nimankii la sodcaalayayna hadalla'aan bay istaageen, iyagoo codkii maqlaya laakiin aan ninna arkaynin.

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

⁸Markaasaa Sawlos dhulkii ka kacay; markii indhihiisii furmeenna, waxba ma uu arkin; markaasay gacanta ku hageen oo Dimishaq keeneen.

⁸Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened, he saw no one. They led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

⁹Saddex maalmood ayuu aragla'aan joogay, waxbana ma cunin, waxbana ma cabbin.

⁹He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.

¹⁰Haddaba waxaa Dimishaq joogay nin xer ah oo la odhan jiray Ananiyas; oo Rabbigu wuxuu kula hadlay riyo, isagoo ku leh, Ananiyasow. Isna wuxuu ku yidhi, Waa i kan, Rabbiyow.

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.”

¹¹Markaasaa Rabbigu wuxuu ku yidhi, Kac oo aad jidka la yidhaahdo Toosane, oo waxaad guriga Yuudas ka doontaa nin la yidhaahdo Sawlos oo reer Tarsos ah; oo bal eeg, waa tukanayaaye;

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,

¹²oo wuxuu arkay nin la yidhaahdo Ananiyas isagoo u soo gelaya oo gacmihiisa dul saaraya inuu araggiisii helo.

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.”

¹³Laakiin Ananiyas baa u jawaabay oo ku yidhi, Rabbiyow, waxaan dad badan ka maqlay ninkanu intuu shar badan u gaystay quduusiintaada Yeruusaalem jooga;

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

¹⁴halkanna wuxuu wadaaddada sare ka haystaa amar inuu xidhxidho kuwa magacaaga kuugu yeedha oo dhan.

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

¹⁵Laakiin Rabbigu wuxuu ku yidhi, Soco, maxaa yeelay, wuxuu ii yahay weel aan doortay inuu magacayga hor geeyo dadka aan Yuhuudda ahayn iyo boqorrada iyo reer binu Israa'iil;

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.

¹⁶maxaa yeelay, waxaan tusi doonaa waxyaalaha waajib ku ah inuu u silco magacaygii dartiis.

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

¹⁷Markaasaa Ananiyas tegey oo gurigii galay, oo intuu gacmihiisa dul saaray, ayuu wuxuu ku yidhi, Walaal Sawlosow, Rabbi Ciise oo kuugu muuqday jidkaad ku timid baa ii soo diray inaad araggaaga heshid iyo in Ruuxa Quduuska ahu kaa buuxsamo.

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.”

¹⁸Oo markiiba waxaa indhihiisa ka soo dhacay wax xuubab u eg, wuuna helay araggiisii; markaasuu kacay oo waa la baabtiisay;

¹⁸Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was baptized.

¹⁹cunto buuna cunay, waana xoogaystay. Haddaba dhawr maalmood ayuu la joogay xertii Dimishaq joogtay.

¹⁹He took food and was strengthened. Saul stayed several days with the disciples who were at Damascus.

²⁰Oo markiiba sunagogyada dhexdooda ayuu dadka kaga dhex wacdiyey Ciise inuu yahay Wiilka Ilaah.

²⁰Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed the Christ, that he is the Son of God.

²¹Dadkii maqlay oo dhammuna waa yaabeen, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Kanu sow ma aha kii Yeruusaalem ku layn jiray kuwa magacaas ugu yeedhi jiray? Oo sababtaas ayuu halkan u yimid inuu iyagoo xidhxidhan hor keeno wadaaddada sare.

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!”

²²Laakiin Sawlos xooggiisii baa u sii kordhay, wuuna wareeriyey Yuhuuddii Dimishaq joogtay isagoo caddaynaya inuu kanu yahay Masiixa.

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

²³Oo markii maalmo badan dhaafeen, ayay Yuhuuddu ku tashadeen inay dilaan;

²³When many days were fulfilled, the Jews conspired together to kill him,

²⁴laakiin Sawlos waa ogaaday tashigoodii. Haddaba habeen iyo maalinba irdaha magaalada bay ka fiirin jireen inay dilaan;

²⁴but their plot became known to Saul. They watched the gates both day and night that they might kill him,

²⁵laakiin xertiisii baa habeen qaadday oo derbiga ka sii daysay iyagoo dambiil ku dejinaya.

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

²⁶Oo kolkuu Yeruusaalem yimid, wuxuu isku dayay inuu xertii ku darsamo; dhammaantoodse waa ka cabsadeen, maxaa yeelay, ma ay rumaysnayn inuu xer yahay.

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.

²⁷Laakiin Barnabas baa kaxeeyey, oo wuxuu u geeyey rasuulladii oo u sheegay siduu Rabbiga ugu arkay jidka, iyo inuu la hadlay, iyo siduu Dimishaq geesinimo ugu wacdiyey magaca Ciise.

²⁷But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared to 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.

²⁸Markaasuu iyagii la joogay, isagoo la gelaya, kalana baxaya Yeruusaalem, geesinimona dadka ugu wacdiyaya magaca Rabbiga;

²⁸He was with them entering into TR and NU add “and going out” Jerusalem,

²⁹wuxuuna la hadlay oo la dooday Yuhuuddii Gariigta ahayd; iyaguse waxay doondooneen inay dilaan.

²⁹preaching boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus. TR and NU omit “Jesus” and reverse the order of verses 28 & 29. He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, The Hellenists were Hebrews who used Greek language and culture. but they were seeking to kill him.

³⁰Kolkii walaalihii garteen, waxay keeneen Kaysariya, oo waxay u sii direen Tarsos.

³⁰When the brothers The word for “brothers” here and where the context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him off to Tarsus.

³¹Sidaas darteed kiniisaddii ku tiil Yahuudiya iyo Galili iyo Samaariya oo dhan nabad bay lahayd, waana dhisantay oo badatay iyadoo ku socota cabsida Rabbiga iyo gargaarka Ruuxa Quduuska ah.

³¹So the assemblies throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.

³²Oo waxaa dhacay intuu Butros marayay dhinacyada oo dhan inuu u yimid quduusiintii Ludda degganayd.

³²It happened, as Peter went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.

³³Halkaasna wuxuu ka helay nin la odhan jiray Ayne'as, kaas oo siddeed sannadood sariirtiisa jiifay, maxaa yeelay, curyaan buu ahaa.

³³There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years, because he was paralyzed.

³⁴Markaasaa Butros wuxuu ku yidhi, Ayne'asow, Ciise Masiix baa ku bogsiinaya; kac oo sariirtaada gogol. Oo markiiba wuu kacay.

³⁴Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed!” Immediately he arose.

³⁵Kuwii Ludda iyo Sharoon degganaana waa arkeen, oo Rabbigay u soo jeesteen.

³⁵All who lived at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.

³⁶Haddaba waxaa Yaafaa joogi jirtay naag xer ah oo la odhan jiray Tabita taasoo micneheedu yahay Dorkas. Naagtaas waa camal wanaagsanayd, sadaqooyinna waa bixin jirtay.

³⁶Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which when translated, means Dorcas. “Dorcas” is Greek for “Gazelle.” This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.

³⁷Wakhtigaas waxaa dhacday inay bukootay, wayna dhimatay, kolkay maydheenna waxay dhigeen qollad sare.

³⁷It happened in those days that she fell sick, and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.

³⁸Dhowaantii ay Ludda u dhowayd Yaafaa aawadeed, xertii markay maqleen in Butros halkaas joogo, waxay u direen laba nin iyagoo ka baryaya oo leh, Ha ka raagin inaad noo timaadid.

³⁸As Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men Reading from NU, TR; MT omits “two men” to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them.

³⁹Markaasaa Butros kacay oo raacay iyagii. Oo kolkuu yimidna, waxay geeyeen qolladdii sare; carmalladii oo dhammina waa ag taagnaayeen iyagoo ooyaya oo tusaya garbageliyaashii iyo dharkii Dorkas samaysay intay la joogi jirtay iyaga.

³⁹Peter got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper room. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.

⁴⁰Laakiin Butros baa dhammaantood dibadda u saaray, markaasuu jilba joogsaday oo duceeyey, oo intuu meydka xaggiisa u jeestay ayuu ku yidhi, Tabitay, kac. Markaasay indhihii kala qaadday; oo markay Butros aragtayna way fadhiisatay.

⁴⁰Peter put them all out, and kneeled down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

⁴¹Markaasuu gacan siiyey oo kiciyey; oo markuu u yeedhay quduusiintii iyo carmalladiiba, iyadoo nool ayuu hor taagay.

⁴¹He gave her his hand, and raised her up. Calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.

⁴²Taasna waa laga wada ogaaday Yaafaa oo dhan; kuwa badanna waa rumaysteen Rabbiga.Waxaana dhacday inuu maalmo badan Yaafaa la joogay nin la yidhaahdo Simoon oo megdeeye ah.

⁴²And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.

⁴³Waxaana dhacday inuu maalmo badan Yaafaa la joogay nin la yidhaahdo Simoon oo megdeeye ah.

⁴³It happened, that he stayed many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
