¹Nto'u toe wo'o, ngasa' oa' -imi Saulus mpongasai' pai' mpopatehi topetuku' Pue' Yesus. Hilou-i hi Imam Bohe,

¹But Saul, yet breathing threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,

²pai' -i mperapi' sura kuasa nakeni hilou hi pangkeni tomi posampayaa hi ngata Damsyik, bona ane ria-ra narata to mpotuku' Tudui' Yesus, nahoko' pai' nakeni-ra nculii' hi Yerusalem, ba tomane ba tobine.

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

³Jadi', pomako' -na hilou hi Damsyik tohe'e, mohu' -imi hi ngata, muu-mule' mehini ncorobaa baja ngkai langi' mpotipuhi-i.

³And as he journeyed, it came to pass that he drew nigh unto Damascus: and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven:

⁴Kamodungka-nami pai' na'epe-hawo topololita to mpo'uli' -ki: "Saulus! Saulus! Napa pai' nubalinai' -a?"

⁴and he fell upon the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?

⁵Na'uli' Saulus: "Ha hema-ko Pue'?" Na'uli' topololita toei: "Aku' -mile Yesus, to nubalinai' -e!

⁵And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he [said], I am Jesus whom thou persecutest:

⁶Wae-pi, memata-moko, mesua' hi rala ngata. Hi ria-damo mpai' ra'uli' -koko napa to kana nubabehi."

⁶but rise, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

⁷Ane doo-doo Saulus toera, uma-rapa tepololita, kuyu-ramo nakeni eka' -ra. Apa' ra'epe moto wo'o-rawo topololita toe, aga uma rahiloi hema-i to mololita.

⁷And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, but beholding no man.

⁸Ngkai ree, mokore-imi Saulus mpobini' mata-na, aga uma-ipi pehilo. Jadi', ratete' -i-damo hilou hi rala ngata Damsyik.

⁸And Saul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.

⁹Tolu eo kahae-na bate uma-i pehilo, pai' uma wo'o-i ngkoni' ba nginu.

⁹And he was three days without sight, and did neither eat nor drink.

¹⁰Hi ngata Damsyik toe, ria hadua topetuku' Yesus, Ananias hanga' -na. Nto'u toe, mopangila-i. Hi rala pangila-na toe, Pue' Yesus mpokio' -i, na'uli': "Ananias!" Na'uli' Ananias: "Oi-a Pue'."

¹⁰Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said unto him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I [am here], Lord.

¹¹Na'uli' Pue': "Me'ongko' -moko hilou hi ohea to rahanga' Ohea Monoa', hi tomi-na Yudas. Pekune' hi pue' tomi ba ria to Tarsus to rahanga' Saulus. Saulus toei bula-na mosampaya,

¹¹And the Lord [said] unto him, Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus: for behold, he prayeth;

¹²pai' hi rala pangila-na nahilo-ko, Ananias. Nahilo-ko hilou mpohirua' -ki pai' mpojama-i bona pehilo nculii' -imi."

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

¹³Na'uli' Ananias: "Pue', wori' tauna to mpotompo'wiwi Saulus tetui. Wori' pebalinai' -na hi topetuku' -nu to hi Yerusalem.

¹³But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how much evil he did to thy saints at Jerusalem:

¹⁴Hiaa' tumai wo'o-imi hi rehe'i, hante kuasa ngkai imam pangkeni, bona mpohoko' hawe'ea tauna to mekakae hi Iko Pue'."

¹⁴and here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call upon thy name.

¹⁵Na'uli' Pue' mpo'uli' -ki Ananias: "Bate hilou-ko! Apa' Saulus toei ria, tungkai' kupelihi jadi' topobago-ku. Hi'a mpai' to mpoparata hanga' -ku hi to Yahudi pai' hi tauna to bela-ra to Yahudi, duu' hi magau' wo'o.

¹⁵But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles and kings, and the children of Israel:

¹⁶Ku'uli' moto-ki mpai' kaparia to kana natodohaka sabana petuku' -na hi Aku'."

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

¹⁷Jadi', hilou mpu'u-imi Ananias hi tomi to na'uli' Pue' we'i. Karata-na hi ria, najama-i Saulus, na'uli' -ki: "Ompi' -ku Saulus! Pue' Yesus to nuhilo hi lengko ohea katumai-nu toi-e, Hi'a-mi to mpohubui-a tumai mpokinomo-ko. Nahubui-a tumai bona pehilo nculii' -moko, pai' -ko nakuasai Inoha' Tomoroli'."

¹⁷And Ananias departed, and entered into the house; and laying his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, [even] Jesus, who appeared unto thee in the way which thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mayest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

¹⁸Nto'u toe, ria to hewa ruke uru molepa' ngkai mata Saulus, pai' pehilo mpu'u-imi. Pokore-nami Saulus, pai' -i raniu' jadi' topetuku' Pue' Yesus.

¹⁸And straightway there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he received his sight; and he arose and was baptized;

¹⁹Oti toe, ngkoni' -imi pai' moroho nculii' -imi.

¹⁹and he took food and was strengthened. And he was certain days with the disciples that were at Damascus.

²⁰Bula-na hi Damsyik toe, hilou oa' -i hi tomi-tomi posampayaa to Yahudi hi Damsyik, pai' na'uli' -raka: "Yesus, Hi'a-mi Ana' Alata'ala."

²⁰And straightway in the synagogues he proclaimed Jesus, that he is the Son of God.

²¹Konce omea-ra to mpo'epe lolita-na, ra'uli': "Ha beiwa-mi-koiwo tohe'i-e? Apa' hi'a toe-mi wengi to mpopatehi tauna to mepue' hi Yesus hi Yerusalem. Pai' patuju-na tumai tetu-e, bona mpohoko' wo'o-ra to hi rehe'i pai' mpokeni-ra hi imam pangkeni hi Yerusalem bona rahuku'."

²¹And all that heard him were amazed, and said, Is not this he that in Jerusalem made havoc of them that called on this name? and he had come hither for this intent, that he might bring them bound before the chief priests.

²²Aga kaboo-bohea baraka' -na Saulus metudui', napakanoto Kayesus-na Magau' Topetolo'. Jadi', to Yahudi hi Damsyik, uma-pi rakulei' mpobaro-i.

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

²³Ba hangkuja kahae-na ngkai ree, mohawa' -ramo to Yahudi mpopatehi Saulus.

²³And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him:

²⁴Pohawa' -ra toe, mpodongo hawe'ea wobo' wala ngata, lompe' hi eo-na lompe' hi bengi-na, bona ane liu-ipi mpai', rapatehi-imi. Ntaa' na'inca-di Saulus patuju-ra tohe'e-e.

²⁴but their plot became known to Saul. And they watched the gates also day and night that they might kill him:

²⁵Jadi', apa' hawe'ea wobo' radongo, Saulus kana mpali' akala-na bona ma'ala-i metibo' ngkai ngata. Toe pai' rala-na hamengi, ba hangkuja dua ana'guru-na Saulus mpokeni-i hilou hi wala tana' to mpotololiki ngata Damsyik, rapopohura-i hi rala karanci, pai' -i ra'ulu hi rala karanci toe ngkai lolo wala tana' hilou hi mali ngata, pai' kaliliu metibo' -imi.

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

²⁶Nculii' -imi Saulus hilou hi Yerusalem. Karata-na hi ria, doko' napobale-miraka topetuku' Yesus, aga rapoka'eka' -i, apa' ko'ia rapangalai' kametuku' -na mpu'u-mi hi Yesus.

²⁶And when he was come to Jerusalem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples: and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.

²⁷Aga Barnabas-hana, hilou-i mpobale-ki Saulus, pai' napo'ema' -imi hilou hi suro Pue' Yesus. Natutura-raka beiwa Saulus mpohilo Pue' Yesus hi lengko ohea kahilou-na hi Damsyik, pai' beiwa Pue' mpololitai-i. Nalolita wo'o-raka kabia' -na Saulus mpokarebai kareba Pue' Yesus hi Damsyik.

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

²⁸Ngkai ree, hampodooa-ramo Saulus hante topetuku' Yesus hi Yerusalem, pai' modao' -i hobo' ngata mpoparata kareba Pue' Yesus hante uma ria kakoroa' -na.

²⁸And he was with them going in and going out at Jerusalem,

²⁹Biasa wo'o-i momewai' ngkalolita pai' momehono' hante to Yahudi to mobasa Yunani. Toe pai' to Yahudi toera doko' mpopatehi-i.

²⁹preaching boldly in the name of the Lord: and he spake and disputed against the Grecian Jews; but they were seeking to kill him.

³⁰Jadi', kara'inca-na ompi' -ompi' hampepangalaa' -na karia-ra to doko' mpopatehi-i, rabawa-imi hilou hi ngata Kaisarea. Ngkai Kaisarea toe, rapope'ongko' -imi hilou hi ngata Tarsus.

³⁰And when the brethren knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.

³¹Jadi', nto'u toe uma-pi ria kakoroa' -ra hawe'ea topepangala' hi Pue' Yesus to hi tana' Yudea, Galilea pai' Samaria. Kawoo-woria' tauna to mepangala' hi Yesus pai' kamoroo-rohoa pepangala' -ra. Apa' mengkoru mpu'u-ra hi Pue' Ala, pai' Inoha' Tomoroli' moto to mporohoi nono-ra.

³¹So the church throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being edified; and, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, was multiplied.

³²Petrus modao' mpencuai' topepangala' hi Pue' Yesus hiapa-apa. Rala-na ha'eo, rata-i hi ngata Lida.

³²And it came to pass, as Peter went throughout all parts, he came down also to the saints that dwelt at Lydda.

³³Hi ngata Lida toe, mpohirua' -ki hadua tomane, hanga' -na Eneas. Eneas toei walu mpae-imi pungku, uma-i tepemata ngkai poturua-na.

³³And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had kept his bed eight years; for he was palsied.

³⁴Na'uli' Petrus mpo'uli' -ki: "Eneas, Yesus Kristus mpaka'uri' -ko! Mokore-moko, pai' lulu-mi ali' -nu." Hinto'u toe mpu'u, mokore-imi Eneas.

³⁴And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ healeth thee: arise and make thy bed. And straightway he arose.

³⁵Hawe'ea tauna hi ngata Lida pai' hi Saron mpohilo kamo'uri' -nami, pai' mepangala' -ramo hi Pue' Yesus.

³⁵And all that dwelt at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.

³⁶Uma molaa ngkai Lida toe, ria wo'o ngata to rahanga' Yope. Hi Yope toe, ria hadua tobine to mepangala' hi Yesus, Tabita hanga' -na. Hi rala basa Yunani hanga' -na Dorkas (batua-na: ruha). Lompe' po'ingku-na, pai' wori' petulungia-na hi tauna to mpe'ahii'.

³⁶Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.

³⁷Nto'u Petrus hi Lida, peda' danca Dorkas toei, kaliliu mate. Ka'oti-na raniu', ratu'u-i hi kamar to hi lolo-na.

³⁷And it came to pass in those days, that she fell sick, and died: and when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper chamber.

³⁸Topetuku' Yesus hi Yope mpo'epe karia-na Petrus hi Lida, apa' ngata Yope toe mohu' -wadi hi Lida. Toe pai' rahubui rodua tauna hilou hi Petrus, merapi' bona napesahui tumai hi Yope.

³⁸And as Lydda was nigh unto Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men unto him, entreating him, Delay not to come on unto us.

³⁹Metuku' mpu'u-imi Petrus hilou dohe-ra. Karata-ra hi Yope, kaliliu rapo'ema' -i hilou hi powataa tomate. Hawe'ea tobine tobalu mpotipuhi Petrus. Geo' -ra pai' rapopohiloi-i baju pai' pohea to nadau-raka Dorkas bula-na tuwu' -pidi.

³⁹And Peter arose and went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.

⁴⁰Ngkai ree, Petrus mpohubui-ra omea mpalahii kamar toe, pai' powilingkudu-nami mosampaya. Ka'oti-na mosampaya, pai' -i mponyanyohi tomate, na'uli' -ki: "Tabita, memata-moko!" Hangaa mobini' mpu'u-mi mata-na mponaa Petrus, pai' kaliliu mohura-imi.

⁴⁰But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down and prayed; and turning to the body, he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

⁴¹Petrus mpokakamu pale-na pai' mpo'ore' -i duu' -na mokore. Oti toe, nakio' nculii' -ramo topetuku' Yesus pai' tobalu to nahubui malai-e we'i, pai' na'uli' -raka: "Ohe'i-imi bale-ni, tuwu' nculii' -imi."

⁴¹And he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.

⁴²Kajadia' toe rajarita hobo' hi ngata Yope, alaa-na wori' tauna mepangala' hi Pue' Yesus.

⁴²And it became known throughout all Joppa: and many believed on the Lord.

⁴³Oti toe, Petrus tida hi Yope ba hangkuja mengi-pidi kahae-na, mo'oha' hi tomi hadua topobago rewa kuliba to rahanga' Simon.

⁴³And it came to pass, that he abode many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
