And Saul approved and participated in his murder. And that day started a
widespread persecution against the church in Jerusalem,
and all those, except the Apostles, scattered in among the villages of Judaea
and also in among the Samaritans
2
ܘܩܦܤܘ ܩܒܪܘܗܝ ܠܐܤܛܦܢܘܤ ܓܒܪܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܘܐܬܐܒܠܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܪܘܪܒܐܝܬ

And devout men wrapped up and buried Stephen And they mourned immensely
over him

.
And Saul persecuted the church of God, entering houses, and apprehending men and women and
sending them to prison
4
ܘܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܬܒܕܪܘ ܡܬܟܪܟܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܡܟܪܙܝܢ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ
.
And those who escaped, went from place to place and preached the word
of God
5
ܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܕܝܢ ܢܚܬ ܠܗ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܫܡܪܝܐ ܘܡܟܪܙ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܥܠ ܡܫܝܚܐ
.
And Philip went down to a Samaritan town, and preached
about the Messiah
6
ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܠܬܗ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܕܬܡܢ ܨܝܬܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܘܡܬܛܦܝܤܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܟܠ ܕܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܕܚܙܝܢ ܗܘܘ

And when the people there heard his message, they all welcomed him and accepted
what he said, for they had seen the miracles which
he performed
7

.
For many possessed by unclean spirits, cried out with loud voice as they came out of them, and others, who were
crippled and lame were
healed
8
ܘܚܕܘܬܐ ܪܒܬܐ ܗܘܬ ܒܗܝ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ
.
And there was immense joy in that city
9
ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܡܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܕܫܡܗ ܤܝܡܘܢ ܕܥܡܝܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܒܗ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܙܒܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܒܚܪܫܘܗܝ

And there was a certain man there, whose name was Simon, who had
lived in that town a long time, and who deceived the Samaritan people with his sorcery,
exalting himself, and saying, I, am remarkable
10
ܘܨܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܪܘܪܒܐ ܘܕܩܕܩܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܗܢܘ ܚܝܠܗ ܪܒܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ
.
And they were all won over to him, eminent and ordinary alike, and they said,
This is the divine power of God
11
ܘܡܬܛܦܝܤܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܒܚܪܫܘܗܝ ܐܬܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܐܢܘܢ
.
And they acknowledged him because he had astonished them for a long time with his sorcery
12
ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܠܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܕܡܤܒܪ ܗܘܐ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܥܡܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܓܒܪܐ
ܘܢܫܐ
But as they came to believe Philip when he preached the
Realm of
God, in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, they were baptized, both men and
women
13
ܘܐܦ ܗܘ ܤܝܡܘܢ ܗܝܡܢ ܗܘܐ ܘܥܡܕ ܘܢܩܝܦ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܠܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܘܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܗܘܐ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܘܚܝܠܐ ܪܘܪܒܐ
ܕܗܘܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܐܝܕܗ ܬܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܬܕܡܪ
And even Simon himself believed, and was baptized, and accompanied
Philip And when he saw the signs and great miracles which were performed by his
hand, he was amazed and astonished
14
ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܕܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܕܩܒܠܘ ܥܡܐ ܕܫܡܪܝܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܫܕܪܘ ܠܘܬܗܘܢ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ
ܘܠܝܘܚܢܢ
And when the Apostles in Jerusalem heard the people of the
Samaritans had received the word of God, they sent out Simon Kephas and
John to them
15
ܘܢܚܬܘ ܘܨܠܝܘ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܩܒܠܘܢ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ
.
And they went down there, and prayed over them, so they might receive
the Holy Spirit
16
ܠܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܥܠ ܚܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܕܝܢ ܥܡܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ
.
For he was not yet on any one of them, as they had been
baptized only, in the name of our Lord Jesus
17
ܗܝܕܝܢ ܤܝܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܘܡܩܒܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ
.
Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit
18
ܘܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܤܝܡܘܢ ܕܒܤܝܡ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܫܠܝܚܐ ܡܬܝܗܒܐ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ ܩܪܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܤܦܐ
.
And when Simon saw that by the laying of a hand of the
Apostles, the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money,
19
ܟܕ ܐܡܪ ܗܒܘ ܐܦ ܠܝ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܐܝܢܐ ܕܐܤܝܡ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܝܕܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܡܩܒܠ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ

saying: Give me this ability as well, so on whom he I lay a
hand may receive the Holy Spirit
20
ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܟܐܦܐ ܟܤܦܟ ܥܡܟ ܢܐܙܠ ܠܐܒܕܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܤܒܪܬ ܕܡܘܗܒܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܩܢܝܢ ܥܠܡܐ ܡܬܩܢܝܐ
Simon Kephas said to him: May you with your money go to be forever lost, because you thought that the gift of God may be bought with
money
21
ܠܝܬ ܠܟ ܡܢܬܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܦܤܐ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܒܟ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܬܪܝܨ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ
.
You have no part nor right in this faith, for your heart is not
right before God
22
ܒܪܡ ܬܘܒ ܡܢ ܒܝܫܘܬܟ ܗܕܐ ܘܒܥܝ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܠܡܐ ܢܫܬܒܩ ܠܟ ܢܟܠܐ ܕܠܒܟ
Nonetheless, repent of your evilness, and pray to God, so
that the falseness of your heart may be forgiven
23
ܒܟܒܕܐ ܓܝܪ ܡܪܝܪܬܐ ܘܒܩܛܪܐ ܕܥܘܠܐ ܚܙܐ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܝܬܝܟ
For I see that you are bitter with anger and in the clutches of
iniquity
24
ܥܢܐ ܤܝܡܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܒܥܘ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܚܠܦܝ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܐܬܐ ܥܠܝ ܡܕܡ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܕܐܡܪܬܘܢ
.
Simon answered and said: Pray to God for me, so none
of what you spoke of may come to me
25
ܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܘܝܘܚܢܢ ܟܕ ܤܗܕܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܐܠܦܘ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗܦܟܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܒܩܘܪܝܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ
ܕܫܡܪܝܐ ܤܒܪܘ
And after Simon and John had testified and taught them the
word of God, they returned to Jerusalem And they preached in many villages of
the Samaritans
26
ܘܡܠܠ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܥܡ ܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܩܘܡ ܙܠ ܠܬܝܡܢܐ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܡܕܒܪܝܬܐ ܕܢܚܬܐ ܡܢ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ
ܠܓܙܐ
And the angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, and said to him: Arise,
go to the south, along the desert route that leads down from Jerusalem to Gaza
27
ܘܩܡ ܐܙܠ ܘܐܪܥܗ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܚܕ ܕܐܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܟܘܫ ܫܠܝܛܐ ܕܩܢܕܩ ܡܠܟܬܐ ܕܟܘܫܝܐ ܘܗܘ ܫܠܝܛ ܗܘܐ ܥܠ
ܟܠܗ ܓܙܗ ܘܐܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܤܓܘܕ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ
And he arose and went And he was met by an abstainer*, who had come from Cush, an official of Candace, queen of the Cushites, who had
oversight of all her
treasure, and had come to worship at Jerusalem
28
ܘܟܕ ܗܦܟ ܕܢܐܙܠ ܝܬܒ ܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܡܪܟܒܬܐ ܘܩܪܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܐܫܥܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ
And as he returned, he was sat in his chariot, and was
reading Isaiah the prophet
29
ܘܐܡܪܬ ܪܘܚܐ ܠܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܐܬܩܪܒ ܘܩܦ ܠܡܪܟܒܬܐ
And the Holy Spirit said to Philip: Go near, and stay close to the
chariot
30
ܘܟܕ ܐܬܩܪܒ ܫܡܥ ܕܩܪܐ ܒܐܫܥܝܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܕܐܢ ܡܤܬܟܠ ܐܢܬ ܡܢܐ ܩܪܐ ܐܢܬ
?
And when he went near, he heard him reading Isaiah the prophet,
and he said to him: Do you understand what you read
31
ܘܗܘ ܐܡܪ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܐܢܐ ܕܐܤܬܟܠ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܢܪܬܝܢܝ ܘܒܥܐ ܡܢܗ ܡܢ ܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܕܢܤܩ ܘܢܬܒ
ܥܡܗ
And he said: How can I understand, unless some one teaches me ? And
he asked Philip if he would come up and sit with him
32
ܦܤܘܩܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܟܬܒܐ ܕܩܪܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܝܟ ܐܡܪܐ ܠܢܟܤܬܐ ܐܬܕܒܪ ܘܐܝܟ ܢܩܝܐ ܩܕܡ
ܓܙܘܙܐ ܫܬܝܩ ܗܘܐ ܘܗܟܢܐ ܠܐ ܦܬܚ ܦܘܡܗ
And the portion of scripture which he was reading, was this: He was led as a
lamb to the slaughter, and as a ewe is silent before the shearer, so too, he
did not open his mouth
33
ܒܡܘܟܟܗ ܡܢ ܚܒܘܫܝܐ ܘܡܢ ܕܝܢܐ ܐܬܕܒܪ ܘܕܪܗ ܡܢܘ ܢܫܬܥܐ ܕܡܫܬܩܠܝܢ ܚܝܘܗܝ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ
!
He was led from prison in humiliation and has no one to defend him, and
who will talk of his descendants, since his life on earth has been taken away
34
ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܠܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܒܥܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܢܟ ܥܠ ܡܢܘ ܐܡܪܗ ܗܕܐ ܢܒܝܐ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܗ ܐܘ ܥܠ ܐܢܫ ܐܚܪܝܢ
?
And the abstainer said to Philip: I ask you, of whom does the prophet speak this, of himself, or of some other person
35
ܗܝܕܝܢ ܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܦܬܚ ܦܘܡܗ ܘܫܪܝ ܡܢܗ ܡܢ ܗܢܐ ܟܬܒܐ ܡܤܒܪ ܠܗ ܥܠ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ
.
Then Philip opened his mouth and began to
preach to him from that scripture, about our Lord Jesus
36
ܘܟܕ ܗܢܘܢ ܐܙܠܝܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܡܛܝܘ ܗܘܘ ܠܕܘܟܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܗ ܡܝܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܗܘ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܗܐ ܡܝܐ ܡܢܐ
ܗܝ ܟܠܝܬܐ ܕܐܥܡܕ
?
And as they went on their way, they came to a certain place where there was water And the
abstainer said: Behold, water ! What prevents me from being baptized
37
ܘܐܡܪ ܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܐܢ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܐܢܬ ܡܢ ܟܠܗ ܠܒܐ ܫܠܝܛ ܘܥܢܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܡܗܝܡܢ ܐܢܐ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ
ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ
And Philip said: If you believe with all your heart, it may be so And he answered, and said: I believe that Jesus the Messiah is the Son of
God
38
ܘܦܩܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܬܩܘܡ ܡܪܟܒܬܐ ܘܢܚܬܘ ܬܪܝܗܘܢ ܠܡܝܐ ܘܐܥܡܕܗ ܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܠܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܗܘ
And he ordered the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the
water, and Philip baptized the abstainer
39
ܘܟܕ ܤܠܩܘ ܡܢ ܡܝܐ ܪܘܚܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܚܛܦܬ ܠܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܘܬܘܒ ܠܐ ܚܙܝܗܝ ܡܗܝܡܢܐ ܗܘ ܐܠܐ ܐܙܠ ܗܘܐ
ܒܐܘܪܚܗ ܟܕ ܚܕܐ
And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip
away, and the abstainer never saw him again, but went on his way rejoicing
40
ܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܕܝܢ ܐܫܬܟܚ ܒܐܙܘܛܘܤ ܘܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܡܬܟܪܟ
ܗܘܐ ܘܡܤܒܪ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܩܤܪܝܐ
And Philip was found at Azotus, and from there he traveled around
and preached in all the towns as far as Caesarea
.
And Saul was still full of threats and mortal hatred against the
disciples of our Lord
2
ܘܫܐܠ ܠܗ ܐܓܪܬܐ ܡܢ ܪܒ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܢܬܠ ܠܗ ܠܕܪܡܤܘܩ ܠܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܕܐܢ ܗܘ ܕܢܫܟܚ ܕܪܕܝܢ ܒܗܕܐ ܐܘܪܚܐ
ܓܒܪܐ ܐܘ ܢܫܐ ܢܐܤܘܪ ܢܝܬܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ
And he asked the high priest to give him letters to the synagogues at Damascus,
so if he should find anyone following this Way, man or woman, he might arrest
them and bring them to Jerusalem
3
ܘܟܕ ܐܙܠ ܗܘܐ ܘܫܪܝ ܡܡܛܐ ܠܕܪܡܤܘܩ ܡܢ ܬܚܝܬ ܫܠܝܐ ܐܙܠܓ ܗܘܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ
.
And as he was going, and started to near Damascus, there
suddenly
was shone upon him a light from heaven
4
ܘܢܦܠ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܫܡܥ ܩܠܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܐܘܠ ܫܐܘܠ ܡܢܐ ܪܕܦ ܐܢܬ ܠܝ ܩܫܐ ܗܘ ܠܟ ܠܡܒܥܛܘ ܠܥܘܩܤܐ
And he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him:
Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me ? It will be hard for you to kick against the
prods
5
ܥܢܐ ܗܘ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢ ܐܢܬ ܡܪܝ ܘܡܪܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܢܨܪܝܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܢܬ ܪܕܦ ܐܢܬ
.
He answered, and said: Who are you, my Lord ? And our Lord said: I am
Jesus the Nazarene, whom you persecute
6
ܐܠܐ ܩܘܡ ܥܘܠ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܬܡܢ ܢܬܡܠܠ ܥܡܟ ܥܠ ܡܐ ܕܘܠܐ ܠܟ ܠܡܥܒܕ
.
But get up and go into the city, and there it will be told
to you what
you have to do
7
ܘܓܒܪܐ ܕܐܙܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܩܝܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܟܕ ܬܡܝܗܝܢ ܡܛܠ ܕܩܠܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܢܫ ܕܝܢ
ܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ
And the men who traveled with him during the journey stood
speechless, for
they heard only the voice, and no one was seen by them
8
ܘܩܡ ܫܐܘܠ ܡܢ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܡܕܡ ܟܕ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܦܬܝܚܢ ܗܘܝ ܘܟܕ ܐܚܝܕܝܢ ܒܐܝܕܘܗܝ
ܐܥܠܘܗܝ ܠܕܪܡܤܘܩ
And Saul got up from the ground, and he could not see anything,
even with
his eyes opened And they took him by the hand, and led him into Damascus
9
ܘܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ ܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܐܟܠ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܬܝ
And he had no sight for three days, and he neither ate nor drank
10
ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܗ ܒܕܪܡܤܘܩ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܚܕ ܕܫܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܚܢܢܝܐ ܘܡܪܝܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܒܚܙܘܐ ܚܢܢܝܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܗܐ

And there was in Damascus a certain disciple named Ananias
And the Lord said in a vision to him: Ananias ! And he said: Behold, I am here,
my Lord
11
ܘܡܪܢ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܩܘܡ ܙܠ ܠܫܘܩܐ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܬܪܝܨܐ ܘܒܥܝ ܒܒܝܬܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܐ ܠܫܐܘܠ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܡܢ ܛܪܤܘܤ
ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܗܐ ܓܝܪ ܟܕ ܗܘ ܡܨܠܐ
And our Lord said to him: Get up, go to the street called
Straight, and in the house of Judas, ask for a Saul who is from the city of
Tarsus: for, behold, while he prayed,
12
ܚܙܐ ܒܚܙܘܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܚܢܢܝܐ ܕܥܠ ܘܤܡ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܝܕܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܬܦܬܚܢ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ
he saw in a vision a man named Ananias, who came and laid his hand
upon him, so his sight might be restored
13
ܘܐܡܪ ܚܢܢܝܐ ܡܪܝ ܫܡܥܬ ܡܢ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܥܠ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܟܡܐ ܒܝܫܬܐ ܐܤܒܠ ܠܩܕܝܫܝܟ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ
And Ananias said: My Lord, I have heard from many about this man,
and how
much harm he has brought to your saints in Jerusalem
14
ܘܗܐ ܐܦ ܗܪܟܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܗ ܫܘܠܛܢܐ ܡܢ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܢܐܤܘܪ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܪܝܢ ܫܡܟ
And, Behold, here as well has he warrants from the high priests to
arrest all those that call on your name
15
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܪܝܐ ܩܘܡ ܙܠ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܐܢܐ ܗܘ ܠܝ ܓܒܝܐ ܕܢܫܩܘܠ ܫܡܝ ܒܥܡܡܐ ܘܒܡܠܟܐ ܘܒܝܬ ܒܢܝ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ
The Lord said to him: Get up and go, for he is a vessel chosen
by me,
to carry my name to the pagans, and to kings, and among the sons of Israel
16
ܐܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܚܘܝܘܗܝ ܟܡܐ ܥܬܝܕ ܠܡܚܫ ܡܛܠ ܫܡܝ
For I will show him how much sorrow he is to have on account of my name
17
ܗܝܕܝܢ ܚܢܢܝܐ ܐܙܠ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܤܡ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܝܕܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܐܘܠ ܐܚܝ ܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܫܕܪܢܝ ܗܘ
ܕܐܬܚܙܝ ܠܟ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܐܢܬ ܐܝܟ ܕܢܬܦܬܚܢ ܥܝܢܝܟ ܘܬܬܡܠܐ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ
Then Ananias went to him at the house, and he laid his hand upon
him, and said to him: Saul, my brother, our Lord Jesus, he who appeared to you
on the way as you came, has sent me, so your sight might be restored, and you
may be filled with the Holy Spirit
18
ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܢܦܠ ܡܢ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܡܕܡ ܕܕܡܐ ܠܩܠܦܐ ܘܐܬܦܬܚ ܥܝܢܘܗܝ ܘܩܡ ܥܡܕ
And at that moment there fell from his eyes something like
a scales, and
his sight was restored And he got up and was baptized
19
ܘܩܒܠ ܤܝܒܪܬܐ ܘܐܬܚܝܠ ܘܗܘܐ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܠܘܬ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܒܕܪܡܤܘܩ
And he took food and was strengthened And for days he was
there with
the disciples of Damascus
20
ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܡܟܪܙ ܗܘܐ ܒܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܥܠ ܝܫܘܥ ܕܗܘܝܘ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ
And from then on, in the synagogues of the Jews he
proclaimed that He, Jesus, is the Son of God
21
ܘܬܡܝܗܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܫܡܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܗܢܐ ܗܘ ܕܪܕܦ ܗܘܐ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ

ܐܢܘܢ ܠܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ
And all those that heard him were astonished, and said: Is
this not he who persecuted all those that call on this name in Jerusalem ? And
behold, for this very purpose as well, was he sent here, so he might arrest and
take those off to
the high priests
22
ܫܐܘܠ ܕܝܢ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܬܚܝܠ ܗܘܐ ܘܡܙܝܥ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܕܥܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܒܕܪܡܤܘܩ ܟܕ ܡܚܘܐ

But Saul was strengthened more, and he confounded those Jews who
lived in Damascus, when he proved that this is the Messiah
23
ܘܟܕ ܤܓܝܘ ܠܗ ܬܡܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܥܒܕܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܢܟܠܐ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܢܩܛܠܘܢܝܗܝ
And when he had been there many days, the Jews plotted
against him to kill him
24
ܐܬܒܕܩ ܠܗ ܕܝܢ ܠܫܐܘܠ ܐܦܪܤܢܐ ܕܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܥܒܕ ܠܗ ܘܢܛܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܬܪܥܐ ܕܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܐܝܡܡܐ ܘܠܠܝܐ
ܕܢܩܛܠܘܢܝܗܝ
And the plot they wanted to carry out on him was made known
to Saul, how they watched the gates of the city, day and night, in hope to
kill him
25
ܗܝܕܝܢ ܤܡܘܗܝ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܒܐܤܦܪܝܕܐ ܘܫܒܘܗܝ ܡܢ ܫܘܪܐ ܒܠܠܝܐ
Then the disciples placed him in a basket, and from the wall let him down at night
26
ܘܐܙܠ ܠܗ ܠܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܘܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܬܢܩܦܘ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܘܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܚܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܗ ܘܠܐ ܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܗܘܘ
ܕܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܗܘ
And he went to Jerusalem, and wanted to join with the
disciples, but they were all afraid of him, and did not believe that he was a
disciple
27
ܒܪܢܒܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܕܗ ܘܐܝܬܝܗ ܠܘܬ ܫܠܝܚܐ ܘܐܫܬܥܝ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܚܙܐ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܘܕܐܝܟܢܐ ܡܠܠ

But BarNabas took him, and brought him to the Apostles, and told them how the Lord appeared to him
on the journey, and how he spoke with him, and how he had preached openly in
Damascus, in the name of Jesus
28
ܘܥܐܠ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܘܢܦܩ ܒܐܘܪܫܠܡ
And he went in and out with them, at Jerusalem
29
ܘܡܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܝܫܘܥ ܥܝܢ ܒܓܠܐ ܘܕܪܫ ܗܘܐ ܥܡ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܝܕܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܝܘܢܐܝܬ ܗܢܘܢ
ܕܝܢ ܨܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܩܛܠܗ
And he spoke openly in the name of Jesus and argued with those
Jews who understood Greek But they wanted to kill him,
30
ܘܟܕ ܝܕܥܘ ܐܚܐ ܐܝܬܝܘܗܝ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܠܩܤܪܝܐ ܘܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܫܕܪܘܗܝ ܠܛܪܤܘܤ
and when the brothers knew, they took him by night to
Caesarea, and from there they sent him to Tarsus
31
ܒܪܡ ܕܝܢ ܥܕܬܐ ܕܒܟܠܗ ܝܗܘܕ ܘܒܓܠܝܠܐ ܘܒܫܡܪܝܢ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܫܠܡܐ ܟܕ ܡܬܒܢܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܘܪܕܝܐ

Then the church throughout Judaea, and in Galilee, and in Samaria, had peace and
was building, and it walked in the fear of God, and filled in the
consolation of the Holy Spirit
32
ܘܗܘܐ ܕܟܕ ܡܬܟܪܟ ܗܘܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܢܚܬ ܐܦ ܠܘܬ ܩܕܝܫܐ ܕܥܡܪܝܢ ܒܠܘܕ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ
And it happened, that as Simon traveled about the cities, he also came to the saints who
lived down in the city of Lydda
33
ܘܐܫܟܚ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܕܫܡܗ ܐܢܝܤ ܕܪܡܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܥܪܤܐ ܘܡܫܪܝ ܫܢܝܢ ܬܡܢܐ
And he found a certain man whose name was Aeneas, who had been paralytic and bedridden
for eight years
34
ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܐܢܝܐ ܡܐܤܐ ܠܟ ܝܫܘܥ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܩܘܡ ܘܫܘܐ ܥܪܤܟ ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܩܡ
And Simon said to him: Aeneas, Jesus the Messiah heals

35
ܘܚܙܐܘܗܝ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܕܥܡܪܝܢ ܒܠܘܕ ܘܒܤܪܘܢܐ ܘܐܬܦܢܝܘ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ
And all those that lived in Lydda and Saron, saw him, and they turned
to God
36
ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܬܐ ܚܕܐ ܒܝܘܦܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܫܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܛܒܝܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܥܬܝܪܐ ܗܘܬ ܒܥܒܕܐ ܛܒܐ
ܘܒܙܕܩܬܐ ܕܥܒܕܐ ܗܘܬ
And there was in the city of Joppa, a certain woman disciple named
Tabitha, who was bountiful in good deeds, and in donations which she gave
37
ܐܬܟܪܗܬ ܕܝܢ ܒܗܘܢ ܒܗܢܘܢ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܘܡܝܬܬ ܘܐܤܚܝܘܗ ܘܤܡܘܗ ܒܥܠܝܬܐ
And she got ill in those days, and died, and they washed her, and
laid her out in a room upstairs
38
ܘܫܡܥܘ ܗܘܘ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܕܫܡܥܘܢ ܒܠܘܕ ܗܘ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܗܝ ܕܐܝܬܝܗ ܥܠ ܓܢܒ ܝܘܦܐ ܘܫܕܪܘ ܗܘܘ ܠܘܬܗ ܓܒܪܐ
ܬܪܝܢ ܕܢܒܥܘܢ ܡܢܗ ܕܠܐ ܬܡܐܢ ܠܗ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܨܐܕܝܗܘܢ
And the disciples heard that Simon was
in the city of Lydda, near Joppa, and they sent two men to
request him that he to come to them without delay
39
ܘܩܡ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܐܙܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܘܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܐܤܩܘܗܝ ܠܥܠܝܬܐ ܘܟܢܫ ܩܡ ܠܗܝܢ ܚܕܪܘܗܝ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܟܕ

And Simon got up and went with them And when he arrived, they
led him to the room, and there gathered around her were all the
widows, weeping, and showing him the tunics and cloaks Tabitha had
given them when alive
40
ܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܦܩ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܠܒܪ ܘܩܥܕ ܥܠ ܒܘܪܟܘܗܝ ܘܨܠܝ ܘܐܬܦܢܝ ܠܘܬ ܫܠܕܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܛܒܝܬܐ
ܩܘܡܝ ܗܝ ܕܝܢ ܦܬܚܬ ܥܝܢܝܗ ܘܟܕ ܚܙܬܗ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܝܬܒܬ
And Simon sent all the people out, and fell on his knees and prayed,
and he turned to the body and said: Tabitha, get up And she opened her eyes,
and when she saw Simon, she sat up
41
ܘܐܘܫܛ ܠܗ ܐܝܕܗ ܘܐܩܝܡܗ ܘܩܪܐ ܠܩܕܝܫܐ ܘܠܐܪܡܠܬܐ ܘܝܗܒܗ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܕ ܚܝܐ
And he gave her his hand
and helped her up, and he called the saints and the widows, and presented her
alive to
them
42
ܘܐܬܝܕܥܬ ܗܕܐ ܒܟܠܗ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܡܪܢ
And this became known throughout the city, and many believed in our
Lord
43
ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܗ ܒܝܘܦܐ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܠܐ ܙܥܘܪܝܢ ܟܕ ܫܪܐ
ܗܘܐ ܒܝܬ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܒܘܪܤܝܐ
.
And he remained in Joppa for many days, and he stayed in the house
of Simon the tanner
And there was a certain man in Caesarea, whose name was Cornelius, a
centurion of the regiment called the Italian
2 ܘܙܕܝܩ ܗܘܐ ܘܕܚܠ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܘܒܝܬܗ ܟܠܗ ܘܥܒܕ
ܗܘܐ ܙܕܩܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܒܥܡܐ ܘܒܟܠܙܒܢ ܒܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ
And he was just and devout, him and all his household, and
he gave many alms among people, and prayed to God all the time
3 ܗܢܐ ܚܙܐ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܒܚܙܘܐ ܓܠܝܐܝܬ ܠܐܦܝ ܬܫܥ ܫܥܝܢ
ܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܕܥܠ ܠܘܬܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܩܘܪܢܠܝܐ
!This man distinctly saw in a vision, at about three in the
afternoon, an angel of God, who came in to him and said to him: Cornelius
4 ܘܗܘ ܚܪ ܒܗ ܘܕܚܠ ܘܐܡܪ ܡܢܐ ܡܪܝ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܨܠܘܬܟ
ܘܙܕܩܬܟ ܤܠܩ ܠܕܘܟܪܢܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ
And he looked at him, and was afraid, and he
said: What is it, my Lord ? And the angel said to him: Your prayers and alms have
risen as an offering
before God
5 ܘܗܫܐ ܫܕܪ ܓܒܪܐ ܠܝܘܦܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܐܝܬܐ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ
ܟܐܦܐ
And now, send men to the city of Joppa, and bring here Simon who is
called Kephas
6 ܗܐ ܫܪܐ ܒܒܝܬܗ ܕܫܡܥܘܢ ܒܘܪܤܝܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܝܕ ܝܡܐ
.Behold, he is staying in the house of Simon
the tanner, which is by the seaside
7 ܘܟܕ ܐܙܠ ܠܗ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܡܠܠ ܥܡܗ ܩܪܐ ܬܪܝܢ ܡܢ ܒܢܝ ܒܝܬܗ
ܘܦܠܚܐ ܚܕ ܕܕܚܠ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܡܬܕܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܗ
And when the angel who spoke with him had left, he called two of
his household, and a soldier who was devout and dutiful to him
8 ܘܐܫܬܥܝ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܚܙܐ ܘܫܕܪ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܝܘܦܐ
And he told them everything he had seen, and sent them
off to Joppa
9 ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܟܕ ܗܢܘܢ ܪܕܝܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܐ ܘܩܪܝܒܝܢ
ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܤܠܩ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܠܐܓܪܐ ܕܢܨܠܐ ܒܫܬ ܫܥܝܢ
And the next day, as they journeyed on the
way and neared the
city, Simon went up on the housetop to pray at noontime
10 ܘܟܦܢ ܘܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܠܥܤ ܘܟܕ ܗܢܘܢ ܡܬܩܢܝܢ ܠܗ ܢܦܠ
ܥܠܘܗܝ ܬܡܗܐ
And he became hungry, and wanted to eat. And while they were
making something for him, he fell into a trance
11 ܘܚܙܐ ܫܡܝܐ ܟܕ ܦܬܝܚܝܢ ܘܡܐܢܐ ܚܕ ܟܕ ܐܤܝܪ ܒܐܪܒܥ
ܩܪܢܢ ܘܕܡܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܟܬܢܐ ܪܒܐ ܘܫܐܒ ܗܘܐ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ
And he saw the heavens opened, and something fastened at the
four corners, resembling a large cloth, and it was let from heaven down to earth
12 ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܗ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܚܝܘܬܐ ܕܐܪܒܥܬ ܪܓܠܐ ܘܪܚܫܐ
ܕܐܪܥܐ ܘܦܪܚܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ
And there were in it all sorts of four-legged animals, and crawling things of
the earth, and birds of the sky
13 ܘܩܠܐ ܐܬܐ ܠܗ ܕܐܡܪ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܩܘܡ ܟܘܤ ܘܐܟܘܠ
And a voice came to him, which said: Simon, get up, kill and eat
14 ܘܫܡܥܘܢ ܐܡܪ ܚܤ ܡܪܝ ܕܡܡܬܘܡ ܠܐ ܐܟܠܬ ܟܠ ܕܡܤܝܒ ܘܛܡܐ
And Simon said: Far be it, my Lord, for I
have never eaten anything
that was profane and defiled
15 ܘܬܘܒ ܕܬܪܬܝܢ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܩܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܘܬܗ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܟܝ
ܐܢܬ ܠܐ ܬܤܝܒ
And again the second time, there came a voice to him: What God
has made clean, you should not call profane
16 ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܗܘܬ ܬܠܬ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܘܐܬܥܠܝ ܠܗ ܡܐܢܐ ܠܫܡܝܐ
And this was done three times, and the cloth was taken up to
heaven
17ܘܟܕ ܡܬܕܡܪ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܒܢܦܫܗ ܕܡܢܘ ܚܙܘܐ ܕܚܙܐ ܡܛܝܘ ܓܒܪܐ

And while Simon was wondering to himself what the vision he had
seen meant, the men sent by Cornelius arrived, and they asked
for the house in which Simon stayed, and came and stood at the gate of the
yard
18 ܘܩܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܬܡܢ ܘܡܫܐܠܝܢ ܕܐܢ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܟܐܦܐ
ܗܪܟܐ ܫܪܐ
?And from there they called out and asked if a Simon who is called Kephas
stayed there
19 ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܪܢܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܚܙܘܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܪܘܚܐ ܗܐ ܓܒܪܐ
ܬܠܬܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܠܟ
And while Simon was reflecting on the vision,
the Spirit said to him: Behold, three men are asking for you
20 ܩܘܡ ܚܘܬ ܘܙܠ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܡܬܦܠܓ ܪܥܝܢܟ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܢܐ
ܗܘ ܫܕܪܬ ܐܢܘܢ
Get up, go down and go with them, and do not let your mind
doubt,
for I have sent them
21 ܗܝܕܝܢ ܢܚܬ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܗܘ
ܕܒܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܗܝ ܥܠܬܐ ܕܡܛܠܬܗ ܐܬܝܬܘܢ
?Then Simon went down to the men, and said to them: I am he whom
you ask for, what is the reason for which you have come
22 ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܕܫܡܗ ܩܘܪܢܠܝܘܤ ܩܢܛܪܘܢܐ ܟܐܢܐ

ܢܥܠܟ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܘܢܫܡܥ ܡܠܬܐ ܡܢܟ
They say to him: A certain man whose name is Cornelius, a
devout centurion, and whom all the people of the Jews have good things to say, was told
in a vision, by a holy angel, to send for and bring you to his house, so he might
hear you preach
23 ܘܐܥܠ ܐܢܘܢ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܩܒܠ ܐܢܘܢ ܟܪ ܕܫܪܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܩܡ

And Simon led them in, and welcomed them where he stayed And the
following day, he got up, left, and went with them and some of the brothers
of Joppa went with them, too
24 ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܥܠ ܠܩܤܪܝܐ ܩܘܪܢܠܝܘܤ ܕܝܢ ܡܩܘܐ ܗܘܐ
ܠܗܘܢ ܟܕ ܡܟܢܫܝܢ ܠܗ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܒܢܝ ܛܘܗܡܗ ܘܐܦ ܪܚܡܐ ܚܒܝܒܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ
And the next day, they entered Caesarea And Cornelius was
waiting
for them, and all his family relatives, and so too, the close friends he
had, were gathered with him
25 ܘܟܕ ܥܐܠ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܐܪܥܗ ܩܘܪܢܠܝܘܤ ܘܢܦܠ ܤܓܕ ܠܪܓܠܘܗܝ
And as Simon came up, Cornelius met him, and fell down
paying
homage at his feet
26 ܘܫܡܥܘܢ ܐܩܝܡܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܩܘܡ ܠܟ ܘܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܢܐ
And Simon lifted him up, and said to him: Get up, I am a man
as well
27 ܘܟܕ ܡܡܠܠ ܥܡܗ ܥܠ ܘܐܫܟܚ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܐܬܘ ܗܘܘ ܠܬܡܢ
And as he talked with him, he went in, and found that many had come
there
28 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܦܤ ܠܓܒܪܐ

ܡܤܝܒ
And he said to them: You know, that it is unlawful for a Jewish
man, to associate with a stranger who is not of his race, but God has showed me
that I should not say that anyone is defiled or profane
29 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܥܬܝܕܐܝܬ ܐܬܝܬ ܟܕ ܫܕܪܬܘܢ ܒܬܪܝ ܒܪܡ ܡܫܐܠ

?Therefore I came at once when you sent for me But,
let me ask you, for
what reason did you send for me

And Cornelius said to him: It is four days ago that,
behold, as I was
fasting, and at three in the afternoon, while I was praying in my house, a certain man
stood before me, cloaked in white,
31 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܩܘܪܢܠܝܐ ܐܫܬܡܥܬ ܨܠܘܬܟ ܘܠܙܕܩܬܟ ܕܘܟܪܢܐ
ܗܘܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܠܗܐ
and said to me: Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and there
is a offering of your alms before God
32 ܒܪܡ ܫܕܪ ܠܝܘܦܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܐܝܬܐ ܠܫܡܥܘܢ ܕܡܬܩܪܐ ܟܐܦܐ
ܗܐ ܫܪܐ ܒܒܝܬܗ ܕܫܡܥܘܢ ܒܘܪܤܝܐ ܕܥܠ ܝܕ ܝܡܐ ܘܗܘ ܢܐܬܐ ܢܡܠܠ ܥܡܟ
But send to the city of Joppa, and bring Simon who is called Kephas,
behold, staying in the house of Simon the tanner, which is by the seaside. And he will come and speak with you
33 ܘܒܪ ܫܥܬܗ ܫܕܪܬ ܠܘܬܟ ܘܐܢܬ ܫܦܝܪ ܥܒܕܬ ܕܐܬܝܬ ܘܗܐ

And
at that moment I sent for you, and you have done well to come, and
behold, we are all here before you, and wanting to hear whatever is prescribed
to
you from God
34 ܦܬܚ ܕܝܢ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܦܘܡܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܒܫܪܪܐ ܐܕܪܟܬ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ

,And Simon opened his mouth, and said: Truly I
realize that God is
no respecter of personages
35 ܐܠܐ ܒܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܕܚܠ ܡܢܗ ܘܦܠܚ ܟܐܢܘܬܐ ܡܩܒܠ

For the word which He sent to the sons of
Israel, proclaiming to them peace and serenity by Jesus the Messiah, He is Lord
of all

from Galilee, after the baptism that John preached

regarding Jesus, who was from Nazareth, whom God anointed with the
Holy Spirit and with power And it was He, who went about and healed those who
were suffering from evil, because God was with him
39 ܘܚܢܢ ܤܗܕܘܗܝ ܥܠ ܟܠ ܡܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܒܟܠܗ ܐܪܥܐ ܕܝܗܘܕ

And we are his witnesses as to everything he did
throughout the land
of Judaea and in Jerusalem This same person the Jews hanged on a tree, and
killed
him
40 ܘܠܗ ܐܩܝܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܬܠܬܐ ܝܘܡܝܢ ܘܝܗܒܗ ܕܢܬܚܙܐ ܥܝܢ

,And God raised him up on the third day, and
made him to be seen by uncovered eyes

not so by all the people, but by us, who were chosen
by God to
be his witnesses, who ate and drank with him after his resurrection from
the dead
42 ܘܦܩܕܢ ܕܢܟܪܙ ܘܢܤܗܕ ܠܥܡܐ ܕܗܢܘ ܕܐܬܦܪܫ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ

And he ordered us to proclaim and testify to the people, that he
is appointed from God to be judge of the living and dead
43 ܘܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܤܗܕܘ ܟܠܗܘܢ ܢܒܝܐ ܕܟܠܡܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܫܡܗ ܢܩܒܠ

,And when Simon come up to Jerusalem, those who were
converts criticized him

.saying; that he had visited with pagan converts, and
had eaten with them
4 ܘܐܩܦ ܗܘܐ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܒܬܪ ܒܬܪ ܠܡܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ
:And Simon began to respond with details, one after
another, saying

As I was praying in Joppa, I saw in vision something like a sheet
come down, and it was tied at its four corners, and it
descended from heaven and came even to me
6 ܘܚܪܬ ܒܗ ܘܚܙܐ ܗܘܝܬ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܗ ܚܝܘܬܐ ܕܐܪܒܥܬ ܪܓܠܝܗܝܢ

and crawling things of the earth, and birds of the sky
7 ܘܫܡܥܬ ܗܘܝܬ ܩܠܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܠܝ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܩܘܡ ܟܘܤ ܘܐܟܘܠ
And I heard a voice saying to me: Simon, get up, kill, and eat
8 ܘܐܡܪܬ ܚܤ ܡܪܝ ܕܡܡܬܘܡ ܠܐ ܥܠ ܠܦܘܡܝ ܕܛܡܐ ܘܕܡܤܝܒ
And I said: Far be it, my Lord For never has any thing
profane or
defiled entered my mouth
9 ܘܬܘܒ ܩܠܐ ܐܡܪ ܠܝ ܡܢ ܫܡܝܐ ܕܡܕܡ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܕܟܝ ܐܢܬ ܠܐ

And again, a voice from heaven said to me: What God has
made clean, you should not call profane
10 ܗܕܐ ܗܘܬ ܬܠܬ ܙܒܢܝܢ ܘܐܤܬܠܩ ܠܗ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܠܫܡܝܐ
And this was done three times, and then everything was taken up to heaven

And at the same moment, three men who were sent to me by Cornelius
from Caesarea, came and stood at the gate of the courtyard of where I stayed
12

these six brothers also went with me, and we entered the man's house

And he related to us, how he had seen an angel in his house, who
stood and said to him: Send to the city of Joppa, and bring a Simon who is called Kephas
14 ܘܗܘ ܢܡܠܠ ܥܡܟ ܡܠܐ ܕܒܗܝܢ ܬܚܐ ܐܢܬ ܘܟܠܗ ܒܝܬܟ
and he will speak to you words by which you will Live, you

And I remembered the words of our Lord when he said: John baptized
with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit
17 ܐܢ ܗܟܝܠ ܐܠܗܐ ܫܘܝܐܝܬ ܝܗܒܗ ܡܘܗܒܬܐ ܠܥܡܡܐ ܐܝܠܝܢ

?If God then gave the gift equally to the pagans that believed in
our Lord Jesus Messiah, as he did to us, who was I that I should dispute God
18 ܘܟܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܠܐ ܫܡܥܘ ܫܠܝܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܘܫܒܚܘ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ
ܗܘܘ ܕܟܒܪ ܐܦ ܠܥܡܡܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܝܗܒ ܬܝܒܘܬܐ ܠܚܝܐ
And when they heard these words they relented, and they
glorified God and said: Perhaps God has also granted the pagans repentance that
leads to Life
19 ܗܢܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܬܒܕܪܘ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܕܗܘܐ ܗܘܐ ܥܠ

And they who were scattered by the persecution which
happened on
account of Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, and even to the region of
Cyprus, and to Antioch, preaching the word to none but the Jews alone
20 ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܡܢ ܩܘܦܪܘܤ ܘܡܢ ܩܘܪܝܢܐ

And there were some of them from Cyprus and from Cyrene, who went up

21 ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܬ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܐܝܕܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܘܤܓܝܐܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܘܐܬܦܢܝܘ

And the hand of the Lord was with them, and many believed, and

ܘܫܕܪܘ ܠܒܪܢܒܐ ܠܐܢܛܝܘܟܝ
And this news came to the attention of the sons of the church at Jerusalem,
and they sent BarNabas to Antioch
23 ܘܟܕ ܐܬܐ ܠܬܡܢ ܘܚܙܐ ܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܚܕܝ ܘܒܥܐ ܗܘܐ

And when he came there and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced, and
he pleaded them, that they should follow with all their heart our Lord
24 ܡܛܠ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܗܘܐ ܛܒܐ ܘܡܫܡܠܝ ܗܘܐ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ
ܘܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܐܬܬܘܤܦ ܗܘܐ ܥܡܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܠܡܪܢ
For he was a good man, and was full of the Holy Spirit, and faith And many people were added to our Lord
25 ܘܗܘ ܢܦܩ ܗܘܐ ܠܛܪܤܘܤ ܠܡܒܥܐ ܠܫܐܘܠ
.And then he departed for Tarsus to search for Saul
26 ܘܟܕ ܐܫܟܚܗ ܐܝܬܝܗ ܥܡܗ ܠܐܢܛܝܟܝܐ ܘܫܢܬܐ ܟܠܗ ܐܟܚܕܐ

And when he had found him, he brought him with him to Antioch And
for a
whole year they met together in the church, and taught many people From
that time onward, the disciples were called Christians, first, at Antioch
27 ܘܒܝܘܡܬܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܐܬܘ ܡܢ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܠܬܡܢ ܢܒܝܐ
.In those days prophets came there from
Jerusalem
28 ܘܩܡ ܚܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܕܫܡܗ ܗܘܐ ܐܓܒܘܤ ܘܐܘܕܥ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܪܘܚ

And one of them whose name was Agabus, stood up and
foretold thru the Spirit that there would be a great famine throughout the land And that
famine happened in the days of Claudius Caesar
29 ܒܪܡ ܕܝܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܐ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܐܢܫ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܗܘܢ

And then the disciples, each one according to his
inate
ability, chose to send for the relief of the brothers who lived in Judaea
30 ܘܫܕܪܘ ܒܝܕ ܒܪܢܒܐ ܘܫܐܘܠ ܠܩܫܝܫܐ

.And they sent it thru BarNabas and
Saul to the elders
there

And at that very time Herod, the king named Agrippa, arrested some of the church, to
persecute them
2 ܘܩܛܠ ܒܤܝܦܐ ܠܝܥܩܘܒ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ
.And he killed James the brother of John with the sword
3 ܘܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܕܫܦܪܬ ܗܕܐ ܠܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܘܤܦ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܐܚܕ ܐܦ

And when he saw that this pleased the Jews, he proceeded to
arrest Simon Kephas, too. And this so passed during the days of unleavened
bread
4 ܘܐܚܕܗ ܘܐܪܡܝܗ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܘܐܫܠܡ ܠܗ ܫܬܬܥܤܪ ܤܛܪܛܘܛܝܢ#1826;

He arrested him and threw him into prison, and handed him
over to sixteen
soldiers to guard him, so he might hand him
over to the Jewish people after the Passover
5 ܘܟܕ ܗܘ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܡܬܢܛܪ ܗܘܐ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܝܪܐ ܨܠܘܬܐ ܐܡܝܢܬܐ

.And while Simon was kept in the prison, continual prayer
was offered to God by the church on his behalf
6 ܘܒܗ ܒܗܘ ܠܠܝܐ ܕܠܨܦܪܐ ܥܬܝܕ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܫܠܡܝܘܗܝ ܟܕ ܕܡܟ

And on the night before the morning on which
he was to be handed over, while Simon was sleeping between two soldiers, and was
bound with two chains, and others were guarding the doors of the prison
7 ܡܠܐܟܐ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܩܡ ܠܥܠ ܡܢܗ ܘܢܘܗܪܐ ܐܙܠܓ ܒܟܠܗ ܒܝܬܐ
ܘܕܩܪܗ ܒܓܒܗ ܘܐܩܝܡܗ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܩܘܡ ܥܓܠ ܘܢܦܠ ܫܫܠܬܐ ܡܢ ܐܝܕܘܗܝ
an angel of the Lord stood over him, and a light shone in all the
building, and he tapped him on his side, and woke him, and said to him: Get up,
quickly And the chains fell off from his hands
8 ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܐܤܘܪ ܚܨܝܟ ܘܤܐܢ ܛܠܪܝܟ ܘܥܒܕ ܗܟܢܐ
ܘܬܘܒ ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܐܬܥܛܦ ܬܟܤܝܬܟ ܘܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ
And the angel said to him: Put on your belt and your sandals
And he did so And again he said to him: Wrap your cloak around you, and follow me
9 ܘܢܦܩ ܘܐܙܠ ܗܘܐ ܒܬܪܗ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܘܐ ܕܫܪܝܪܐ ܗܘܬ ܗܝ
ܕܗܘܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܒܝܕ ܡܠܐܟܐ ܤܒܪ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܕܚܙܘܐ ܚܙܐ ܗܘܐ
And he went out and followed him, not knowing what had been
really done by the angel, for he thought that he was envisioning it
10 ܘܟܕ ܥܒܪܘ ܡܛܪܬܐ ܩܕܡܝܬܐ ܘܕܬܪܬܝܢ ܐܬܘ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܬܪܥܐ

And when they passed the first and second guard, they came to the
iron gate, and it opened to them on its own accord And when they had gone out,
and had passed one street, the angel left him
11 ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܫܬܘܕܥ ܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܐܡܪ ܗܫܐ ܝܕܥܬ ܒܩܘܫܬܐ ܕܡܪܝܐ

Then Simon came to himself, and he said: Now I know that God has
really sent his angel, and released me from the grip of King Herod the king, and from what the Jews were scheming against me
12 ܘܟܕ ܐܤܬܟܠ ܐܬܐ ܠܗ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܕܡܪܝܡ ܐܡܗ ܕܝܘܚܢܢ ܗܘ

And when he had understood, he went to the house of Mary, the mother
of John named Mark, for many brothers were gathered praying there
13 ܘܢܩܫ ܒܬܪܥܐ ܕܕܪܬܐ ܘܢܦܩܬ ܕܬܥܢܝܘܗܝ ܛܠܝܬܐ ܕܫܡܗ

And he knocked at the gate of the courtyard, and a servant
named Rhoda came to answer him
14 ܘܐܫܬܘܕܥܬ ܩܠܗ ܕܫܡܥܘܢ ܘܒܚܕܘܬܗ ܠܐ ܦܬܚܬ ܠܗ ܬܪܥܐ

And she recognized the voice of Simon: and in her joy, she did not
open the gate for him, but ran back and told them: Behold, Simon is standing at the
courtyard gate
15 ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܡܙܥ ܙܥܬܝ ܠܟܝ ܘܗܝ ܡܬܚܪܝܐ ܗܘܬ ܕܗܕܐ ܗܟܢܐ

They said to her: You are out of your mind But she insisted that it was
true They said to her: Perhaps it is his angel
16 ܘܫܡܥܘܢ ܢܩܫ ܗܘܐ ܒܬܪܥܐ ܘܢܦܩܘ ܚܙܐܘܗܝ ܘܬܡܗܘ ܠܗܘܢ
.And Simon was still knocking at the gate, and they went outside, saw him, and
were astonished

And he gestured them by hand to be quiet, and he went in,
and described to them how the Lord had released him from the prison And he said
to them: Tell these things to James and to the brothers. And he left and went to another place
18 ܘܟܕ ܗܘܐ ܨܦܪܐ ܗܘܐ ܗܘܐ ܪܘܒܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܒܝܬ ܐܤܛܪܛܝܘܛܐ

And when it was morning, there was a great commotion among the
soldiers about Simon and what had become of him
19 ܗܪܘܕܤ ܕܝܢ ܟܕ ܒܥܝܗܝ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܗ ܕܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܢܛܘܪܐ

And Herod, when he had him searched for, could not find him,
questioned the
guards, and ordered them put to death And he went from Judaea, and took up residence at
Caesarea
20 ܘܡܛܠ ܕܪܓܝܙ ܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܨܘܪܝܐ ܘܥܠ ܨܝܕܢܝܐ ܐܬܟܢܫܘ ܘܐܬܘ

And because he was angry with the Tyrians and Sidonians, they
gathered and came to him in a body; and having persuaded Blastus, the king's
chamberlain, they urged him that they might have peace, because the food
supplies of their country depended on the kingdom of Herod
21 ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܝܥܐ ܠܒܫ ܗܘܐ ܗܪܘܕܤ ܠܒܘܫܐ ܕܡܠܟܘܬܐ
ܘܝܬܒ ܥܠ ܒܝܡ ܘܡܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܥܡ ܟܢܫܐ
And on an appointed day, Herod was wore robes of state, and sat
on a tribunal, and made a speech to those gathered
22 ܥܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܟܠܗ ܩܥܐ ܗܘܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܒܢܬ ܩܠܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ

.And all the people shouted, and said: This is the
voice of a
God, and not of a mortal

And, because he had not given the glory to God, that
moment the angel of
God struck him down, and he was eaten away with worms, and died
24 ܘܤܒܪܬܐ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܡܬܟܪܙܐ ܗܘܬ ܘܪܒܝܐ
.And the gospel of God was proclaimed, and spread

And BarNabas and Saul, after they had completed their task,
returned from Jerusalem to Antioch And they took with them John, who was
named Mark

ܘܫܐܘܠ
Now there were in the church at Antioch, prophets and
teachers; BarNabas, and Simon, called Niger, and Lucius who was from the town of
Cyrene, and Menael, a son of the governess of Herod the Tetrarch, and Saul
2 ܘܟܕ ܗܢܘܢ ܨܝܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܡܬܟܫܦܝܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܠܗܘܢ

And while they fasted and offered worship to
God, the Holy Spirit said to them: Appoint to me Saul and BarNabas, to the work
for which I have called them
3 ܘܒܬܪ ܕܨܡܘ ܘܨܠܝܘ ܤܡܘ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܘܫܕܪܘ ܐܢܘܢ
And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid the hands on them,
and sent them away

And they, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia,
and from there they went by sea as far as Cyprus

And when they entered the city of Salamis, they preached the word
of our Lord in the synagogues of the Jews And John ministered to them

And when they had traveled the entire island as far as the city Paphos, they found a certain man, a
Jewish magician, who was a false prophet,
and whose name was Bar-Suma
7 ܗܢܐ ܕܒܝܩ ܗܘܐ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܚܟܝܡܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܗܘܐ ܐܢܬܘܦܛܘܤ

He was close to a wise man called Sergius Paulus, who was
the proconsul And the proconsul sent for Saul and BarNabas, and wanted to
hear from them the word of God

And this magician, Bar-Suma, - whose name means Elymas, -
tried to hinder them, wanting to keep the proconsul away from the faith
9 ܫܐܘܠ ܕܝܢ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܩܪܝ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܐܬܡܠܝ ܗܘܐ ܒܪܘܚܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܐ

,And Saul, who is called Paul, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and he
looked at him

and said: Oh you, full of every sort of fraud and
evilness, you son
of the devil, and enemy of all righteousness, will you not stop twisting the
right ways of the Lord

And now, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you
will be blind,
and will not see the sun for a time And at that moment there fell upon him a mist
and darkness, and he went about, asking who would lead him by the hand
12 ܘܟܕ ܚܙܐ ܐܢܬܘܦܛܘܤ ܡܕܡ ܕܗܘܐ ܐܬܕܡܪ ܘܗܝܡܢ ܒܝܘܠܦܢܗ

And after the reading of the Law, and the prophets, the
elders of the
synagogue sent word to them, and said: Men, brothers, if you have a word of
encouragement, speak to the people

The God of this people chose our forefathers, and exalted them, and
multiplied them, when they lived in the land of Egypt, and with a strong arm brought them out of it
18 ܘܬܪܤܝ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܡܕܒܪܐ ܐܪܒܥܝܢ ܫܢܝܢ
.And he fed them in the wilderness for forty years
19 ܘܗܓܡ ܫܒܥܐ ܥܡܡܝܢ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܕܟܢܥܢ ܘܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܐܪܥܗܘܢ

And he destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, and gave them
their land for an inheritance
20 ܘܐܪܒܥ ܡܐܐ ܘܚܡܫܝܢ ܫܢܝܢ ܝܗܒ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܝܢܐ ܥܕܡܐ

And then they asked for themselves a king, and God gave them Saul

22 ܘܢܤܒܗ ܘܐܩܝܡ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܕܘܝܕ ܡܠܟܐ ܘܐܤܗܕ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܘܐܡܪ

And he took him away, and raised up to them David as king, and he
testified of him, and said: I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my
heart, to do my will
23 ܡܢ ܙܪܥܗ ܕܗܢܐ ܐܩܝܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܐܝܟ ܡܐ ܕܐܫܬܘܕܝ

From the line of this man, God has raised up as he
promised for Israel, a Saviour, Jesus

repentance to all the people of Israel

And as John fulfilled his ministry, he said: Who do you
think that I am ? I am not He But behold, one comes after me, He of whom I am not worthy
to untie his sandal straps

For, those inhabitants of Jerusalem and their
rulers did not
realize it, nor, too, the scriptures of the prophets
which are read every Sabbath, but they condemned him, and so fulfilled all the
things written
28 ܘܟܕ ܠܐ ܐܫܟܚܘ ܥܠܬܐ ܕܡܘܬܐ ܡܕܡ ܫܐܠܘ ܡܢ ܦܝܠܛܘܤ

And while they found no grounds for his death, they

And when they had carried out everything that was written
of him,
they took him down from the cross, and laid him in a tomb
30 ܐܠܗܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܩܝܡܗ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܡܝܬܐ
.But God raised him from the dead

And for many days he appeared to those who

And behold, we also tell to you the Good News, that the promise which was made to

behold, God has fulfilled it to us, their children, in that he raised up
Jesus, as it is written in the second psalm:You are my Son: this day you are

And God has so raised him from the dead,
never return to corruption again; as he said: I will give to you the sure grace of
David
35 ܘܬܘܒ ܐܡܪ ܒܕܘܟܬܐ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܝܗܒܬ ܠܚܤܝܟ ܕܢܚܙܐ

And again he said, in another place: You have not given

For David, served the will of God in his
generation, and went
to his rest, and so buried with his forefathers, and experienced corruption
37 ܗܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܐܩܝܡ ܐܠܗܐ ܠܐ ܚܙܐ ܚܒܠܐ
But this one, whom God raised up, did not
experience corruption

Know therefore, brothers, that through this man

:Be careful, therefore, lest that which is written in the
prophets happens to you
41 ܕܚܙܘ ܡܒܤܪܢܐ ܘܬܬܡܗܘܢ ܘܬܬܚܒܠܘܢ ܕܥܒܕܐ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܐ
ܒܝܘܡܝܟܘܢ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܬܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܡܫܬܥܐ ܠܟܘܢ
Behold, you mockers, and wonder, and perish; for I
do something in
your days, which you would not believe, though a man told it to you
42 ܘܟܕ ܢܦܩܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܨܐܕܝܗܘܢ ܒܥܘ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܕܠܫܒܬܐ
ܐܚܪܬܐ ܢܡܠܠܘܢ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܡܠܐ ܗܠܝܢ
.And as they left them, they were asked to speak
on the
same theme to them the following Sabbath day
43 ܘܡܢ ܕܐܫܬܪܝܬ ܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܐܙܠܘ ܒܬܪܗܘܢ
ܘܐܦ ܓܝܘܪܐ ܕܕܚܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܗܢܘܢ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܡܦܝܤܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܢܗܘܘܢ ܢܩܝܦܝܢ ܠܛܝܒܘܬܗ
ܕܐܠܗܐ
And when the meeting was over, many Jews, and
devout converts as well, followed them And they spoke with them, and urged
them to remain faithful to the grace of God
44 ܘܠܫܒܬܐ ܐܚܪܬܐ ܟܢܫܬ ܟܠܗ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܠܡܫܡܥ ܡܠܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ
.And the next Sabbath, the entire city gathered to hear the word of
God
45 ܘܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܟܢܫܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܐܬܡܠܝܘ ܚܤܡܐ ܘܩܝܡܝܢ
ܗܘܘ ܠܘܩܒܠ ܡܠܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܗܘܐ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܘܡܓܕܦܝܢ ܗܘܘ
And when the Jews saw the great crowd, they were filled with
envy, and contradicted the words Paul spoke, and used blasphemies
46 ܐܡܪ ܕܝܢ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܘܒܪܢܒܐ ܥܝܢ ܒܓܠܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܗܘ ܘܠܐ ܗܘܐ
ܩܕܡܝܬ ܕܬܬܐܡܪ ܡܠܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܕܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܘܦܤܩܬܘܢ ܥܠ ܢܦܫܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܫܘܝܢ
ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ ܗܐ ܡܬܦܢܝܢܢ ܠܢ ܠܘܬ ܥܡܡܐ
And Paul and BarNabas said boldly: To you the word of
God had to be spoken first; but since you have rejected it, and do not think
yourselves worthy of Eternal Life, behold, we turn to the pagans
47 ܗܟܢܐ ܓܝܪ ܦܩܕܢ ܡܪܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܟܬܝܒ ܕܤܡܬܟ ܢܘܗܪܐ ܠܥܡܡܐ
ܕܬܗܘܐ ܠܚܝܐ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܤܘܦܝܗ ܕܐܪܥܐ
For so has our Lord commanded us, as it is written:
I have made
you
a light to the nations, that you may be for Life* unto the ends of the
earth
48 ܘܟܕ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܡܐ ܚܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܡܫܒܚܝܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ
ܘܗܝܡܢܘ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܤܝܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܚܝܐ ܕܠܥܠܡ
And when the pagans heard, they rejoiced and glorified God
And those who were destined to Eternal Life, believed
49 ܘܡܠܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܡܬܡܠܠܐ ܗܘܬ ܒܟܠܗ ܗܘ ܐܬܪܐ
.And so the word of the Lord was spoken about
throughout all that region
50 ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܓܪܓܘ ܠܪܫܐ ܕܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܠܢܫܐ ܥܬܝܪܬܐ
ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܕܚܠܢ ܗܘܝ ܥܡܗܘܢ ܠܐܠܗܐ ܘܐܩܝܡܘ ܪܕܘܦܝܐ ܥܠ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܘܥܠ ܒܪܢܒܐ ܘܐܦܩܘ ܐܢܘܢ ܡܢ
ܬܚܘܡܝܗܘܢ
But the Jews worked up the rulers of the city, and the
devout
women of wealth, and persuaded them to turn against Paul and BarNabas, and expel them from their
territory
51 ܘܟܕ ܢܦܩܘ ܢܦܨܘ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܚܠܐ ܕܪܓܠܝܗܘܢ ܘܐܬܘ ܠܗܘܢ
ܠܐܝܩܢܘܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ
.And when they left, they shook the dust from their feet
towards them, and went off to the city of Iconium
52 ܘܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܡܬܡܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܚܕܘܬܐ ܘܪܘܚܐ
ܕܩܘܕܫܐ
.And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Spirit
Salvation *
Chapter 14

ܘܐܬܘ ܘܥܠܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܟܢܘܫܬܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܗܟܢܐ ܡܠܠܘ ܥܡܗܘܢ
ܐܝܟ ܕܢܗܝܡܢܘܢ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܡܢ ܝܘܢܝܐ
And they came and went in the synagogue of the Jews, and spoke
so with them that many of the Jews and of the Greeks believed
2 ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܛܦܝܤܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܓܪܓܘ ܠܥܡܡܐ
ܕܢܒܐܫܘܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐܚܐ
.But the Jews who did not believe aligned the
pagans against the brothers
3 ܘܗܢܘܢ ܙܒܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܗܘܘ ܬܡܢ ܘܥܝܢ ܒܓܠܐ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ
ܥܠ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܗܘ ܡܤܗܕ ܗܘܐ ܥܠ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܒܐܬܘܬܐ ܘܒܬܕܡܪܬܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܗܘܐ ܒܐܝܕܝܗܘܢ
And they remained there a long time, and spoke
boldly concerning
the Lord, and he gave testimony to the word of His grace, by the signs and
wonders which He performed by their hands
4 ܘܟܠܗ ܟܢܫܐ ܕܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܦܠܝܓ ܗܘܐ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܥܡ
ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܡܢܗܘܢ ܢܩܝܦܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܫܠܝܚܐ
.And the entire population of the city was divided, and
some were
with the Jews, and some followed the Apostles
5 ܗܘܐ ܕܝܢ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܓܙܡܐ ܡܢ ܥܡܡܐ ܘܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܪܫܢܝܗܘܢ
ܕܢܨܥܪܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܘܢܪܓܡܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܒܟܐܦܐ
And a move was made on them by the pagans, and by the Jews
and their leaders, to make attacks on them, and to stone them with stones
6 ܘܟܕ ܝܕܥܘ ܫܢܝܘ ܘܐܬܓܘܤܘ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܠܘܩܢܝܐ ܠܘܤܛܪܐ
ܘܕܪܒܐ ܘܩܘܪܝܐ ܕܚܕܪܝܗܝܢ
And when they realized it, they left and fled to the cities of Lycaonia and Lystra and Derbe, and to the villages around them
7 ܘܬܡܢ ܡܤܒܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ
.and there they preached
8 ܘܓܒܪܐ ܚܕ ܝܬܒ ܗܘܐ ܒܠܘܤܛܪܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܤܓܝܦ ܗܘܐ
ܒܪܓܠܘܗܝ ܚܓܝܪܐ ܕܡܢ ܟܪܤ ܐܡܗ ܕܡܡܬܘܡ ܠܐ ܗܠܟ ܗܘܐ
And a certain man lived in the city Lystra, a cripple
who had been lame from birth, who had never walked
9 ܗܢܐ ܫܡܥ ܠܦܘܠܘܤ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܘܟܕ ܚܙܝܗܝ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܘܐܫܬܘܕܥ
ܕܐܝܬ ܒܗ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܕܢܚܐ
,He heard Paul speak, and when Paul saw him,
and knew that he had faith to be healed
10 ܐܡܪ ܠܗ ܒܩܠܐ ܪܡܐ ܠܟ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܒܫܡܗ ܕܡܪܢ ܝܫܘܥ
ܡܫܝܚܐ ܩܘܡ ܥܠ ܪܓܠܝܟ ܘܫܘܪ ܩܡ ܘܗܠܟ
he said to him, with a loud voice: In the name of our Lord Jesus
the Messiah, I say to you, Get up on your feet. And he jumped up, stood, and walked
11 ܘܟܢܫܐ ܕܥܡܐ ܟܕ ܚܙܘ ܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܦܘܠܘܤ ܐܪܝܡܘ ܩܠܗܘܢ
ܒܠܫܢܗ ܕܐܬܪܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܬܕܡܝܘ ܒܒܢܝ ܐܢܫܐ ܘܢܚܬܘ ܠܘܬܢ
And the crowd of people, when they saw what Paul had done,
lifted up
their voices in the language of that region, and said: The gods have taken on the
appearance of men, and have come down to us
12 ܘܫܡܝܘ ܗܘܘ ܠܒܪܢܒܐ ܡܪܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܦܘܠܘܤ ܗܪܡܝܤ ܡܛܠ
ܕܗܘ ܡܫܪܐ ܗܘܐ ܒܡܠܬܐ
.And they named BarNabas as the Lord of the Gods; and Paul
as Hermes,
because he was the head speaker
13 ܘܟܘܡܪܐ ܕܡܪܐ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܕܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ
ܐܝܬܝ ܬܘܪܐ ܘܟܠܝܠܐ ܠܬܪܥܐ ܕܕܪܬܐ ܐܬܪ ܕܫܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܘܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܢܕܒܚ ܠܗܘܢ
And the priest of the Lord of the Gods, who was without the city,
brought oxen and garlands to the gate of the courtyard where they stayed, and
wanted to offer sacrifices to them
14 ܒܪܢܒܐ ܕܝܢ ܘܦܘܠܘܤ ܟܕ ܫܡܥܘ ܤܕܩܘ ܢܚܬܝܗܘܢ ܘܫܘܪܘ
ܘܢܦܩܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܐܟܠܘܤ ܘܩܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ
But BarNabas and Paul, when they heard, tore
open their clothes,
and bolted out and went out into the crowd, and called out
15 ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܓܒܪܐ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܦ ܚܢܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܚܢܢ
ܚܫܘܫܐ ܐܟܘܬܟܘܢ ܕܡܤܒܪܝܢܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܒܛܠܬܐ ܬܬܦܢܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܚܝܐ ܗܘ ܕܥܒܕ ܫܡܝܐ
ܘܐܪܥܐ ܘܝܡܡܐ ܘܟܠ ܕܐܝܬ ܒܗܘܢ
and said: Men, what are you doing? We are
also mere
mortals, like yourselves, who preach to you, so you should turn from these
useless things to the Living God, who made heaven and earth and the seas, and
all things in them
16 ܗܘ ܕܒܕܪܐ ܩܕܡܝܐ ܫܒܩ ܗܘܐ ܐܢܘܢ ܠܟܠܗܘܢ ܥܡܡܐ
ܕܢܐܙܠܘܢ ܒܐܘܪܚܬܐ ܕܢܦܫܗܘܢ
:He, in ages past, left all the nations to go in their own ways
17 ܟܕ ܠܐ ܫܒܩ ܢܦܫܗ ܕܠܐ ܤܗܕܘ ܒܕܥܒܕ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܛܒܬܐ ܡܢ
ܫܡܝܐ ܘܡܚܬ ܗܘܐ ܠܗܘܢ ܡܛܪܐ ܘܡܪܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܦܐܪܐ ܒܙܒܢܝܗܘܢ ܘܡܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܬܘܪܤܝܐ ܘܒܤܝܡܘܬܐ ܠܒܘܬܗܘܢ
nevertheless, he did not leave without
evidence of himself, in the good things He did from heaven, and sent down the rain, and made the fruits to grow in
their seasons, and filled them with food and their hearts with joy
18 ܘܟܕ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢ ܡܚܤܢ ܟܠܘ ܠܥܡܐ ܕܐܢܫ ܠܐ
ܢܕܒܚ ܠܗܘܢ
And, even with saying these things, they had
difficulty discouraging the
people from offering sacrifice to them
19 ܐܬܘ ܕܝܢ ܠܬܡܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܡܢ ܐܝܩܢܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܐܢܛܝܟܝܐ
ܘܫܓܫܘ ܥܠܝܗܘܢ ܠܥܡܐ ܘܪܓܡܘܗܝ ܠܦܘܠܘܤ ܘܓܪܘܗܝ ܠܒܪ ܡܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܤܒܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܡܝܬ ܠܗ
But Jews came there from Iconium and Antioch, and
stirred up the
people against them And they stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city,
assuming that he was dead
20 ܘܟܢܫܘ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܘܩܡ ܥܠ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܠܝܘܡܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ
ܢܦܩ ܠܗ ܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܥܡ ܒܪܢܒܐ ܘܐܬܘ ܠܕܪܒܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ
And the disciples gathered around him, and he
got up, and went back into
the city And the following day, he left there with BarNabas, and they came
to the city of Derbe
21 ܘܟܕ ܡܤܒܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܒܢܝ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܗܝ ܬܠܡܕܘ ܗܘܘ ܠܤܓܝܐܐ
ܘܗܦܟܘ ܐܬܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܠܘܤܛܪܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܘܠܐܝܩܢܘܢ ܘܠܐܢܛܝܟܝܐ
And while they preached to the population of that city, they
made many disciples And in returning, they came to the city Lystra, and to
Iconium, and to Antioch
22 ܟܕ ܡܫܪܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܢܦܫܬܗܘܢ ܕܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܘܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܡܢܗܘܢ
ܕܢܩܘܘܢ ܒܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܒܐܘܠܨܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܘܠܐ ܠܡܥܠ ܠܡܠܟܘܬܗ ܕܐܠܗܐ
strengthening the souls of the disciples, and encouraging them to
persevere in the faith, and telling them that we all have to experience many
hardships, before entering the Realm of God
23 ܘܐܩܝܡܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܒܟܠ ܥܕܬܐ ܩܫܝܫܐ ܟܕ ܨܝܡܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܡܗܘܢ
ܘܡܨܠܝܢ ܘܡܓܥܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܡܪܢ ܗܘ ܕܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܗ
And they appointed them elders in each church,
and with
fasting and prayer, they commended them to our Lord in whom they
believed
24 ܘܟܕ ܐܬܟܪܟܘ ܒܐܬܪܐ ܕܦܝܤܝܕܝܐ ܐܬܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܦܡܦܘܠܝܐ
.And when they had traveled over the region of Pisidia they came to
Pamphylia
25 ܘܟܕ ܡܠܠܘ ܒܦܪܓܐ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܢܚܬܘ ܠܗܘܢ
ܠܐܝܛܠܝܐ
.And after they had spoken the word of the Lord in the city of Perga,
they went down to Attalia
26 ܘܡܢ ܬܡܢ ܪܕܘ ܒܝܡܐ ܘܐܬܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܠܐܢܛܝܟܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܢ
ܬܡܢ ܡܓܥܠܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܛܝܒܘܬܗ ܕܡܪܝܐ ܠܥܒܕܐ ܗܘ ܕܫܠܡܘ
And from there they sailed by sea, and came to Antioch,
where they had been commended to the grace of the Lord for the work which they
had completed
27 ܘܟܕ ܟܢܫܘ ܟܠܗ ܥܕܬܐ ܡܫܬܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܟܠܡܕܡ ܕܥܒܕ ܥܡܗܘܢ
ܐܠܗܐ ܘܕܦܬܚ ܬܪܥܐ ܕܗܝܡܢܘܬܐ ܠܥܡܡܐ
And when they had assembled together the
entire church, they gave an account of
all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith to
the pagans
28 ܘܙܒܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܗܘܘ ܬܡܢ ܠܘܬ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ
.And they stayed a long time there with the disciples
