¹ Naka Sool, muy tëkkoo rey taalibey Boroom bi, ba di ko noyyee far. Mu dem nag ca saraxalekat bu mag ba,

¹And Saul, yet breathing of threatening and slaughter to the disciples of the Lord, having gone to the chief priest,

² laaj ko ay bataaxal yu muy yóbbul jànguy dëkku Damas. Noonu ñu mu fa fekk, te ñu bokk ci yoon wi, góor mbaa jigéen, mu am dogalu yeew leen, indi leen Yerusalem.

²did ask from him letters to Damascus, unto the synagogues, that if he may find any being of the way, both men and women, he may bring them bound to Jerusalem.

³ Waaye bi muy jub Damas, ca saa sa leer gu jóge asamaan melax, ba ëmb ko.

³And in the going, he came nigh to Damascus, and suddenly there shone round about him a light from the heaven,

⁴ Mu daanu ci suuf, dégg baat bu ko ne: «Sool, Sool, lu tax nga di ma fitnaal?»

⁴and having fallen upon the earth, he heard a voice saying to him, `Saul, Saul, why me dost thou persecute?`

⁵ Mu wuyu ne: «Yaay kan Boroom bi?» Boroom bi ne ko: «Maay Yeesu, mi ngay fitnaal.

⁵And he said, `Who art thou, Lord?` and the Lord said, `I am Jesus whom thou dost persecute; hard for thee at the pricks to kick;`

⁶ Waaye jógal, dugg ca dëkk ba, te dinañu la wax li nga war a def.»

⁶trembling also, and astonished, he said, `Lord, what dost thou wish me to do?` and the Lord [said] unto him, `Arise, and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what it behoveth thee to do.`

⁷ Nit ñi ànd ak moom nag taxaw, waaru ba luu, ci li ñu dégg baat bi te gisuñu kenn.

⁷And the men who are journeying with him stood speechless, hearing indeed the voice but seeing no one,

⁸ Noonu Sool jóg, xippi, waaye gisul dara; kon ñu wommat ko, yóbbu ko Damas.

⁸and Saul arose from the earth, and his eyes having been opened, he beheld no one, and leading him by the hand they brought him to Damascus,

⁹ Diirub ñetti fan gisul dara, lekkul, naanul.

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

¹⁰ Amoon na nag ci Damas taalibe bu tudd Anañas. Bi loolu amee nag Boroom bi feeñu ko ne: «Anañas!» Mu wuyu: «Maa ngi nii Boroom bi.»

¹⁰And there was a certain disciple in Damascus, by name Ananias, and the Lord said unto him in a vision, `Ananias;` and he said, `Behold me, Lord;`

¹¹ Boroom bi ne ko: «Jógal, nga jaar ci mbedd, mi ñuy wax Mbedd mu jub mi, te seet ci kër Yudaa nit ku tudd Sool te dëkk Tars, ndaxte mu ngay ñaan.

¹¹and the Lord [saith] unto him, `Having risen, go on unto the street that is called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas, [one] by name Saul of Tarsus, for, lo, he doth pray,

¹² Te gis na cim peeñu nit ku tudd Anañas, mu dugg, teg ko ay loxo, ba muy gisaat.»

¹²and he saw in a vision a man, by name Ananias, coming in, and putting a hand on him, that he may see again.`

¹³ Waaye Anañas tontu ko ne: «Boroom bi, dégg naa ci nit ñu bare ci mbirum kooku, ñu seede lu bare lu bon lu mu def say gaay ci Yerusalem.

¹³And Ananias answered, `Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how many evils he did to Thy saints in Jerusalem,

¹⁴ Te indaale na fii sax sañ-sañ bu jóge ci saraxalekat yu mag ya, ngir yeew képp kuy tudd saw tur.»

¹⁴and here he hath authority from the chief priests, to bind all those calling on Thy name.`

¹⁵ Waaye Boroom bi ne ko: «Demal, ndaxte maa ko tànn, muy sama jëfandukaay, ngir yóbbu sama tur fa kanam ñi nekkul Yawut ak fa kanam buur yi ak bànni Israyil.

¹⁵And the Lord said unto him, `Be going on, because a choice vessel to Me is this one, to bear My name before nations and kings — the sons also of Israel;

¹⁶ Te dinaa ko won coono yu bare yu mu war a dékku ngir sama tur.»

¹⁶for I will shew him how many things it behoveth him for My name to suffer.`

¹⁷ Ci kaw loolu Anañas dem, dugg ca kër ga, teg ay loxoom Sool. Mu ne ko: «Sool sama mbokk, Boroom bi Yeesu, mi la feeñu woon ci kaw yoon wi, bi ngay dikk, moo ma yónni, ngir nga dellu di gis te fees ak Xel mu Sell mi.»

¹⁷And Ananias went away, and did enter into the house, and having put upon him [his] hands, said, `Saul, brother, the Lord hath sent me — Jesus who did appear to thee in the way in which thou wast coming — that thou mayest see again, and mayest be filled with the Holy Spirit.`

¹⁸ Ca saa sa lu mel ni ay waasintoor génne ci ay bëtam, mu daldi gisaat. Noonu mu jóg, ñu sóob ko ci ndox;

¹⁸And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales, he saw again also presently, and having risen, was baptized,

¹⁹ ba noppi mu lekk, amaat doole. Bi mu ko defee mu toog ay fan ak taalibe, ya nekk Damas.

¹⁹and having received nourishment, was strengthened, and Saul was with the disciples in Damascus certain days,

²⁰ Ca saa sa muy yégle ca jàngu ya ne, Yeesu mooy Doomu Yàlla.

²⁰and immediately in the synagogues he was preaching the Christ, that he is the Son of God.

²¹ Ñi ko dégg ñépp waaru naan: «Ndax du kii moo daan tas ñiy tudd tur woowu ci Yerusalem, te mu ñëw fii, ngir yeew leen, yóbbu ci kanamu saraxalekat yu mag ya?»

²¹And all those hearing were amazed, and said, `Is not this he who laid waist in Jerusalem those calling on this name, and hither to this intent had come, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?`

²² Moona Sool di gën a am kàttan, bay jaaxal Yawut yi dëkk Damas, ci di leen wax ay firnde, ne Yeesu mooy Almasi bi.

²²And Saul was still more strengthened, and he was confounding the Jews dwelling in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.

²³ Ba ñu ca tegee ay fani fan, Yawut yi daldi gise, ngir reylu ko.

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

²⁴ Waaye Sool yég seen pexe. Fekk guddi ak bëccëg ñu doon wottu bunt yi yépp, ngir man koo bóom.

²⁴and their counsel against [him] was known to Saul; they were also watching the gates both day and night, that they may kill him,

²⁵ Noonu taalibe yi jël ko ci guddi, def ko ci dàmba gu réy, jaarale ko ci miir bi, yoor ko ci suuf.

²⁵and the disciples having taken him, by night did let him down by the wall, letting down in a basket.

²⁶ Bi Sool agsee Yerusalem, mu jéem a ànd ak taalibe yi, waaye ñépp ragal ko, ndax gëmuñu woon ag taalibeem.

²⁶And Saul, having come to Jerusalem, did try to join himself to the disciples, and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he is a disciple,

²⁷ Ci kaw loolu Barnabas jël ko, yóbbu ko ca ndaw ya, nettali leen, ni Sool gise Boroom bi ci kaw yoon wi, ak li mu ko wax, rax-ca-dolli fit wi mu doon waxe ci turu Yeesu ci Damas.

²⁷and Barnabas having taken him, brought [him] unto the apostles, and did declare to them how in the way he saw the Lord, and that he spake to him, and how in Damascus he was speaking boldly in the name of Jesus.

²⁸ Noonu mu nekk ak ñoom ci Yerusalem, di dugg ak a génn, di wax ak fit ci turu Boroom bi.

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

²⁹ Muy wax ak di werante ak Yawut yiy làkk gereg, waaye ñu di ko wut a rey.

²⁹and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, he was both speaking and disputing with the Hellenists, and they were taking in hand to kill him,

³⁰ Bi ko bokk yi yégee nag, ñu yóbbu ko dëkku Sesare, yebal ko dëkku Tars.

³⁰and the brethren having known, brought him down to Cesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.

³¹ Noonu mbooloom ñi gëm nekk ci jàmm ci biir diiwaani Yude gépp ak Galile ak Samari; ñuy gën a dëgër, di wéy ci ragal Yàlla, tey yokku ci ndimbalu Xel mu Sell mi.

³¹Then, indeed, the assemblies throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, had peace, being built up, and, going on in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.

³² Piyeer nag di wër, di jaar fu nekk, tey dem ci gaayi Yàlla yi dëkk Lidd,

³²And it came to pass that Peter passing throughout all [quarters], came down also unto the saints who were dwelling at Lydda,

³³ mu gis fa nit ku làggi, tudd Ene, tëdd ci basaŋ diirub juróom-ñetti at.

³³and he found there a certain man, Aeneas by name — for eight years laid upon a couch — who was paralytic,

³⁴ Piyeer ne ko: «Ene, Yeesu Kirist faj na la; jógal te defar sa lal.» Noonu mu daldi jóg ca saa sa.

³⁴and Peter said to him, `Aeneas, heal thee doth Jesus the Christ; arise and spread for thyself;` and immediately he rose,

³⁵ Bi ko waa diiwaani Lidd ak Saron gépp gisee, ñu daldi woññiku ci Boroom bi.

³⁵and all those dwelling at Lydda, and Saron saw him, and did turn to the Lord.

³⁶ Amoon na nag ci dëkku Yope taalibe bu jigéen bu tudd Tabita, liy tekki «Dorkas,» maanaam «kewel,» te muy wéy ci jëf yu baax ak saraxe.

³⁶And in Joppa there was a certain female disciple, by name Tabitha, (which interpreted, is called Dorcas,) this woman was full of good works and kind acts that she was doing;

³⁷ Ca fan yooyu mu daanu wopp, ba faatu; noonu ñu sang ko, teg ko ca néeg, ba sut ca taax ma.

³⁷and it came to pass in those days she, having ailed, died, and having bathed her, they laid her in an upper chamber,

³⁸ Gannaaw Lidd sorewul ak Yope nag, te taalibe yi dégg ne, Piyeer a nga fa, ñu yónnee ko ñaari nit, ñaan ko mu ñëw ci ñoom ci saa si.

³⁸and Lydda being nigh to Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter is in that [place], sent two men unto him, calling on him not to delay to come through unto them.

³⁹ Bi ko Piyeer déggee, mu jóg, ànd ak ñoom. Bi mu ñëwee, ñu yóbbu ko ca néeg bu kawe ba. Fekk fa ay jigéen ñi seeni jëkkër faatu, ñu daldi wër Piyeer, ñépp di jooy, di ko won kamisool ya ak mbubb, ya Dorkas daan defar cig dundam.

³⁹And Peter having risen, went with them, whom having come, they brought into the upper chamber, and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing coats and garments, as many as Dorcas was making while she was with them.

⁴⁰ Ci kaw loolu Piyeer génne ñépp ci biti, mu sukk, ñaan ci Yàlla, ba noppi walbatiku ca néew ba ne ko: «Tabita, jógal!» Noonu mu xippi, gis Piyeer, daldi toog.

⁴⁰And Peter having put them all forth without, having bowed the knees, did pray, and having turned unto the body said, `Tabitha, arise;` and she opened her eyes, and having seen Peter, she sat up,

⁴¹ Piyeer may ko loxo, yékkati ko. Mu woo gaayi Yàlla ya ak jigéen ña, won leen ko, muy dund.

⁴¹and having given her [his] hand, he lifted her up, and having called the saints and the widows, he presented her alive,

⁴² Mbir ma siiw ca Yope gépp, ba ñu bare gëm Boroom bi.

⁴²and it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord;

⁴³ Gannaaw loolu Piyeer toog ay fan ci Yope, ci këru ku tudd Simoŋ, miy wullikat.

⁴³and it came to pass, that he remained many days in Joppa, with a certain one, Simon a tanner.
