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

¹But Saul, still breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, came to 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, to the synagogues, so that if he found any who were of the way, both men and 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.

³But as he was journeying, it came to pass that he drew near to 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 falling on the earth he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why dost thou persecute 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 up 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.

⁷But the men who were travelling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but beholding no one.

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

⁸And Saul rose up from the earth, and his eyes being opened he saw no one. But leading [him] by the hand they 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 seeing, and neither ate nor drank.

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'."

¹⁰And there was a certain disciple in Damascus by name Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, [here am] I, 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] to him, Rise up and go into the street which is called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas one by name Saul, [he is] of Tarsus: for, behold, he is praying,

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

¹²and has seen [in a vision] a man by name Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him, so that he should see.

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

¹³And Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many concerning this man how much evil he has done 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 has authority from the chief priests to bind all who 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.

¹⁵And the Lord said to him, Go, for this [man] is an elect vessel to me, to bear my name before both nations and kings and [the] sons of Israel:

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

¹⁶for *I* will shew to him how much he must suffer for my name.

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 went and entered into the house; and laying his hands upon him he said, Saul, brother, the Lord has sent me, Jesus that appeared to thee in the way in which thou camest, that thou mightest see, 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 saw, and rising up was baptised;

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

¹⁹and, having received food, got strength. And he was with the disciples who [were] in Damascus certain days.

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 preached 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 who heard were astonished and said, Is not this *he* who destroyed in Jerusalem those who called on this name, and here was come for this purpose, that he might bring them bound to 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 power, and confounded the Jews who dwelt in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.

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

²³Now when many days were fulfilled, the Jews consulted 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 also the gates both 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 the 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 having arrived at Jerusalem he essayed to join himself to the disciples, and all were 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 related to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken 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 coming 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.

²⁹and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. And he spoke and discussed with the Hellenists; but they sought 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 the brethren knowing it, brought him down to Caesarea and sent him away 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.

³¹The assemblies then throughout the whole of Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being edified and walking in the fear of the Lord, and were increased through the comfort of the Holy Spirit.

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

³²Now it came to pass that Peter, passing through all [quarters], descended also to the saints who inhabited 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 he found there a certain man, Aeneas by name, who had been lying for eight years upon a couch, who was paralysed.

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 to him, Aeneas, Jesus, the Christ, heals thee: rise up, and make thy couch for thyself. And straightway he rose up.

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

³⁵And all who inhabited Lydda and the Saron saw him, who 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'.

³⁶And in Joppa there was a certain female disciple, by name Tabitha, which being interpreted means Dorcas. She was full of good works and alms-deeds 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 grew sick and died; and, having washed her, they put her in [the] upper room.

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.

³⁸But Lydda being near to Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, beseeching him, Thou must not delay coming to 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 rising up went with them, whom, when arrived, they brought up into the upper chamber; and all the widows stood by him weeping and shewing him the body-coats and garments which Dorcas had 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, putting them all out, and kneeling down, prayed. And, turning to the body, he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes, and, seeing Peter, 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 having given her [his] hand, he raised her up, and having called the saints and the widows, presented her living.

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

⁴²And it became known throughout the whole of 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 remained many days in Joppa with a certain Simon, a tanner.
