1“Brothers and fathers, listen to the defense which I now make to you.”
1"Manushale, Murhe phral, ai tume kai san dada, ashunen akana so si ma te mothav tumenge ke chi sim doshalo!"
2When they heard that he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, they were even more quiet. He said,
2Kana ashunde kodala manush ke delas duma o Pavlo ande shib le Zhidovisko, mai but chixo sas; ai o Pavlo phendia,
3“I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, instructed according to the strict tradition of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, even as you all are this day.
3"Me sim zhidovo, me kerdilem ande Tarsus o foro kai si ande Cilicia, numa barilem ande kado foro ai beshavas pashol punrhe ieke manusheske kai busholas Gamaliel. Wo sicharelas ma vorta te zhanav o zakono amare dadengo, ai kodo manush radimasa kerelas buchi le Devleski, sar keren tume savorhe adies.
4I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and delivering into prisons both men and women.
4Me chinuisardem zhi kai martia sa kodolen kai lenaspe pala drom le Jesusosko, aterdiardem murshen ai zhuvlian ai thodem le ande temnitsa.
5As also the high priest and all the council of the elders testify, from whom also I received letters to the brothers, and traveled to Damascus to bring them also who were there to Jerusalem in bonds to be punished.
5O baro rashai ai le mai phure kai sas ande tampla sai mothon tumenge ke o chachimos phenav. Won dine ma lila le phralenge le Zhidovonge kai si ando Damascus, ai gelem kotse te aterdiarav kodolen kai pachanaspe ando Del ai te anav le ando Jerusalem te chinuiv le."
6It happened that, as I made my journey, and came close to Damascus, about noon, suddenly there shone from the sky a great light around me.
6"Po drom kai zhavas ai sar pashuavas pasha Damascus, strazo karing le desh u dui chasuria iek bari vediara avili anda cheri, ai strefialas kruglom mandar.
7I fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’
7Pelem pe phuv, ai iek glaso ashundem kai motholas mange, "Saul, Saul! Sostar chinuis ma?"
8I answered, ‘Who are you, Lord?’ He said to me, ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you persecute.’
8Ai me dem atweto, "Kon san tu Devla?" Ai wo phendia mange, "Me sim O Jesus andai Nazareth, kai tu chinuis."
9“Those who were with me indeed saw the light and were afraid, but they didn’t understand the voice of him who spoke to me.
9Kodola kai sas mansa dikhle e vediara, numa chi ashunenas o glaso kodolesko kai delas duma,
10I said, ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ The Lord said to me, ‘Arise, and go into Damascus. There you will be told about all things which are appointed for you to do.’
10Antunchi phendem, "So te kerav, Devla?" Ai O Del mothol mange, "Wushti opre, zha ando Damascus; ai kotse mothonas tuke so godi trobul te keres."
11When I couldn’t see for the glory of that light, being led by the hand of those who were with me, I came into Damascus.
11Chi mai dikhavas kanch palai razha kodola vediaraki, kodola kai sas mansa line ma vastestar ai aresliam ando Damascus.
12One Ananias, a devout man according to the law, well reported of by all the Jews who lived in Damascus,
12Kotse sas iek manush kai busholas Ananias, wo lelaspe pala zakono le Mosesosko, ai sa le Zhiduvuria anda Damascus lazhanas lestar, ai chetainas les.
13came to me, and standing by me said to me, ‘Brother Saul, receive your sight!’ In that very hour I looked up at him.
13Avilo mande, ai phendia mange, "Saul, Murho phral, te aven che iakha phuterde, ai strazo murhe iakha phuterdile ai dikhavas."
14He said, ‘The God of our fathers has appointed you to know his will, and to see the Righteous One, and to hear a voice from his mouth.
14Ai phendia, "O Del amare dadengo alosardia tu, te zhanes so mangel, ai te dikhes kodoles kai si chacho, ai te ashunes o glaso anda lesko mui.
15For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and heard.
15Ke tu avesa lesko marturo mashkar sa le manush andal dieli kai dikhlian ai ashundian.
16Now why do you wait? Arise, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.’
16Ai akana, na mai azhuker, wushti opre, ai aves boldo, ai te aves xalado anda che bezexa kana akhares po anav le Devlesko."
17“It happened that, when I had returned to Jerusalem, and while I prayed in the temple, I fell into a trance,
17"Kana gelem palpale ande Jerusalem, ai rhugivas ma ande tampla, dikhlem iak vizion,
18and saw him saying to me, ‘Hurry and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not receive testimony concerning me from you.’
18ai dikhlem le Devles kai motholas mange, "Grebisavo, ankli avri andai Jerusalem, ke o narodo chi pachana pe so phenesa pa mande."
19I said, ‘Lord, they themselves know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue those who believed in you.
19Ai me phendem, "Devla, won zhanen ke me savas ande temnitsi ai keravas tumaren le sastrensa ande swako synagogue kodolen kai pachanaspe ande tute.
20When the blood of Stephen, your witness, was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting to his death, and guarding the cloaks of those who killed him.’
20Ai kana shorde o rat le Stephenosko, me simas kotse, ai phenavas ke vorta kerenas kodole kai mudarenas les, ai ankerdem lenge tsalia zhi kai mudaren les."
21“He said to me, ‘Depart, for I will send you out far from here to the Gentiles.’ ”
21Porme O Del mothol mange, "Zha, tradava tu dur karing le thema."
22They listened to him until he said that; then they lifted up their voice, and said, “Rid the earth of this fellow, for he isn’t fit to live!”
22O narodo ashunelas leste zhi kai phendia kadala vorbi, ai porme tsipinnas, ai phende, "Len pai lumia kasavestar manush, intaino traiil."
23As they cried out, and threw off their cloaks, and threw dust into the air,
23Ai tsipinas, ai shudelas penge tsalia ai shudenas phulberia opre.
24the commanding officer commanded him to be brought into the barracks, ordering him to be examined by scourging, that he might know for what crime they shouted against him like that.
24O baro le ketanengo phendia te ingeren le Pavlos andre ando baro kher, ai te maren les le bichosa saxke te del duma, ai te zhanen sostar o narodo tsipilas pe leste.
25When they had tied him up with thongs, Paul asked the centurion who stood by, “Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and not found guilty?”
25Numa kana phangle les te maren les le bichosa, o Pavlo phendia la ketanaki kai sas pasha leste, "Si tumenge slobodo te maren le bichosa ieke chacho Romanos, kai nas inker dino ande kris?"
26When the centurion heard it, he went to the commanding officer and told him, “Watch what you are about to do, for this man is a Roman!”
26Kana ashundia kodola vorbi wo gelo karing o mai baro ketana te mothol leske, "So si te keres akana? Kado manush Romano lo!"
27The commanding officer came and asked him, “Tell me, are you a Roman?” He said, “Yes.”
27Antunchi o baro ketana gelo karing o Pavlo, ai phushlia les, "Phen mange te san chacho Romano?" O Pavlo dia atweto, "E".
28The commanding officer answered, “I bought my citizenship for a great price.” Paul said, “But I was born a Roman.”
28Ai o baro ketana phendia, "Pochindem bare love te kerdiuav chacho Romano." Ai o Pavlo phendia leske, "Me kadia kerdilem."
29Immediately those who were about to examine him departed from him, and the commanding officer also was afraid when he realized that he was a Roman, because he had bound him.
29Strazo, kodola kai lenas te maren les ai te keren les te del duma durile lestar, ai vi o baro ketana darailo kana dikhlia ke o Pavlo sas ek chacho Romano, ke wo phanglia le Pavlos le lantsonsa.
30But on the next day, desiring to know the truth about why he was accused by the Jews, he freed him from the bonds, and commanded the chief priests and all the council to come together, and brought Paul down and set him before them.
30Pe terharin mangelas te zhanel chaches anda soste le Zhiduvuria dosharenas les, o baro ketana phuterdia leske lantsuria, ai dia ordina ke le bare rashan, ai le kolavren, le mai phure te chidenpe andek than. Porme lia le Pavlos, ai thodia les mashkar lende.
