The Lord spoke to him in a vision, “Ananias!” “Here I am, Lord,” he answered.
10. 11NCENa këme, Tako Ho, megali tlole, “Ju huju eleme, na alëge mefë lamotla, Ininiwa alëge, ju kë belëme ejume.

14. 15NCEKwe, Tako Ho, bume gali tlole, “Ju Sol belë eiju. Kë ho bu bobë wege home fata lëgleme.

15. 16NCENa bo bume meolafa nëtatelëme, ‘Bu bobë galiwa të logotlena, memelë tetëbo wesibi bume fata mëgletleme.’ ”BSBBSB: I will show him how much he must suffer for My name.”

Na buwa bome jine lelëfakënë, jubë naba tika namëgletëme na Gotobë Amtëtomba ju belë naligisitëme.”BSBBSB: So Ananias went to the house, and when he arrived, he placed his hands on Saul. “Brother Saul,” he said, “the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here, has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
17. 18NCEAnanaias kë gali wafi yawe tlole, na hokweinawa, mo lënëboha wesibi, Solbë naba mago mititigo tle na bu ita hwi tekake. Na bu huju tle na Ananaias bume baptais totle.BSBBSB: At that instant, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and his sight was restored. He got up and was baptized,

Na ëje ebelë kë ligisibë mata, kalabusu lowa nalëglelumeme, na bume lotu lo mëta wege mëglabë eso ho belë lëglelume nalëgleme, Jerusalem lifatewa.”BSBBSB: All who heard him were astounded and asked, “Isn’t this the man who wreaked havoc in Jerusalem on those who call on this name? And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?”
21. 22NCEKwe Goto Solme afutuku tlële na bu kë afutukuna Israelbë afenëbonime, Damaskus life mëta kë tafa mëtlabë, kalëlego gali të tëtatëme.

Bu gali olafa slemu tëgëtatëmeme nëgeme.BSBBSB: But Saul was empowered all the more, and he confounded the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Christ.
22. 23NCELebutako olë wamutuju na Israelbë afenëboni loko mëtlelëya na gali sle mototla, Solme mogo nalë tëkle namogotlame.BSBBSB: After many days had passed, the Jews conspired to kill him,

Na Israelbë afenëboni, olëli olëli na klabë, Damaskus lifatebë lëglesibë ino ëfo li mëta, sei mëtlëkefëtla, Solme mogo nalë tëke namoglolame.BSBBSB: but Saul learned of their plot. Day and night they watched the city gates in order to kill him.
24. 25NCEKwe klabë kuna, Solbë yabeni, bume kë lifate mago tako lëglesi mëglëbo li elë mitilekola.

Na bu mana tuju.BSBBSB: One night, however, his disciples took him and lowered him in a basket through a window in the wall.
25. 26NCETokwafe, Sol Jerusalem lifatewa tuju, Jisasme kë lowene mëgletlabë enënena loko namëglame. Kwe bu iniwa uli lamëtletla na melowene lamëtletla, “Bu Jisasme lowene lëgletlebë ho nane.”BSBBSB: When Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
26. 27NCEKwe Barnabas Solme lataitale, na Aposel ho belë sei tlële. Na bume gali tlome, “Sol Tako Ho Jisasme alëge mëta wafi hwi tlole. Na Tako Ho Jisas bume wagëgali tlelële. Na Sol mata, Damaskus lifatebë onehome, Jisasbë gali të tëtatëmebëme, uli hana tle.”BSBBSB: Then Barnabas brought him to the apostles and described how Saul had seen the Lord, who had spoken to him on the road to Damascus, and how Saul had spoken boldly in that city in the name of Jesus.
27. 28NCEBarnabasbë gali aholokwane motlola na Aposel enëne lowene mëtla, “Nëgalife.” Këme nëgeme, Sol bu Aposelna, Jisasme kë lowene mëgletlabë onehona iniwa tafa mëtla. Na buna iniwa Jerusalem lifate mëta asë mëtla. Na bu Jisasbë gali onehome të tëtatëmebëme uli hana tle.BSBBSB: So Saul stayed with them, moving about freely in Jerusalem and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.
28. 29NCENa bu Israelbë afenëboni flina, Grik gali kë lowene mëtlabë, Jisasbë galime gëgali tlelëme na bume momata lamëtlelëla. Kwe bume melowene mëtletla, “Sebo habelë nogotlamene, bume mogo nalë tëke nanogotlamefe?”BSBBSB: He talked and debated with the Grecian Jews, but they tried to kill him.
29. 30NCEJisasme kë lowene mëgletlabë oneho kë wame gali aholokwane mëtla, na bu Solme Sisaria life elëme mëtlelula na Tarsus life elëme jine mëtelëkakla.BSBBSB: When the brothers learned of this, they took him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.

Na lebutako oneho bu Jisasme lowene sle mëtletla.BSBBSB: Then the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria experienced a time of peace. It grew in strength and numbers, living in the fear of the Lord and the encouragement of the Holy Spirit.

Na Tabita, tuja ato mana tëtabena, kë susu totomebë ëho, Pitame lebotane mototometla.BSBBSB: So Peter got up and went with them. On his arrival, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood around him, weeping and showing him the tunics and other clothing that Dorcas had made while she was still with them.
