45.

One day, an angel of the Lord told Philip, one of Jesus’ disciples, to go to the desert on the road to Gaza. As he walked along the road, Philip saw an important official from Ethiopia sitting in his chariot. The Holy Spirit told Philip to go up and talk to this man. Ha maghay mangaamot, main maghay pānobolen nin Dioh a napakit kanan Felipe, a wana, “Makew kan tampol ha dapit abagatan. Hombongen moy dān a palakew ha banwan Gaza paibat ha banwan Jerusalem.” (Yatin kalhada, ahe yayna angkadānan.)Kaya-bay, tampol yan nakew ye Felipe ha dān. Ihtew ha dān, natamolaw na yay lāki a taga Etiopia. Yain a lāki, matagay yay katongkolan na ha gobilno ta ampanalima ya ha kaganaan a babandi nan babayin Candace. Ta hiyay Candace ye poon a anhabtan rayna ihtew ha Etiopia. Hiyay opihyal met, ampoli yayna a ibat ha Jerusalem ta ibat yaynan naghimba kanan Apo Dioh. Ampikno ya ha kaliha na boy ambahaen nay liblo a inholat nan Isaias a propitan māngihabin Habi nin Dioh. Haanin, naghabi yay Ihpiditon Dioh kanan Felipe, a wana, “Makew kayna ta pakidlanan moy kaliha na.” (Acts 8:26-29)

When he came near the chariot, he heard the man reading from the prophet Isaiah, “He was led like a lamb to be killed, and did not say a word. He was treated unfairly and without respect. His life was taken away from him.” Ket hiyay Felipe, nayew yan nakiadaad ha kaliha. Ket nange na yay opihyal a ampamaha nin inholat nan Isayas a propitan māngihabin Habi nin Dioh. Ket yabayti ye pahen nin impaholat nan Apo Dioh, a ambahaen nan opihyal: “Nailalayi yan kalnilo a inlakew ha panapoan o oybon nin kalnilo a ahe bega nagdiklamo ha pag-odog kana. Pinading-eyan la ya boy aliwan matoynong ye pamadoha la kana.c Homain yan pangihabiyan a nalahian na ta tampol la yan pinatey,”

Philip asked the Ethiopian, “Do you understand what you are reading?” He said, “No. Is Isaiah talking about himself or someone else?” Ket tinepet na yan Felipe, a wana, “Angkatalohan moy ambahaen mo?” wana. Nakibat yay opihyal, a wana, “Ahe! Way omon ko nayi matalohan no homain mangipalinaw kangko? Habiyen mo dayi kangko no hinyay labay nan habiyen nin Isaias, no hiyay hadili nan bengat o kanayon a tao?” (Acts 8:30b-31, 34b)

Philip showed him that Isaiah was talking about Jesus. Philip also used many other Scriptures to tell him the Good News of Jesus. Kaya-bay, impaibat kananyatin pahen nin impaholat nan Apo Dioh, impalinaw nan Felipe kana ye Manged a Balita tongkol kanan Apo Jesus a hiyabay ye labay nan habiyen nin Isaias. (Acts 8:35)

As they passed by some water, the Ethiopian said, “Look! There is some water! Why can’t I be baptized?” And he ordered the chariot to stop. Impaholong layna ye anloganan la angga ha nakalateng hila ha logal a main lanom. Hinabi nan opihyal kanan Felipe, a wana, “Bilewen mo. Main lanom ihti. Main po nayi makahaad kangko omon ako ahe mabawtihmohan?” (Acts 8:36)

So they went down into the water, and Philip baptized him. After Philip baptized the Ethiopian, the Holy Spirit carried Philip away to another place where he continued telling people about Jesus. Haanin, hiyay opihyal, pinapaked nay kaliha na ta nilomohan hilan lowa ha lanom. Ket binawtihmoan na yan Felipe. Ha nayadi na yan binawtihmowan, linomakat hilayna. Ket hiyay Felipe, tampol na yan kingwa nin Ihpiditon Dioh. Ket haanin, hiyay opihyal, ahe nayaynan nakit ye Felipe. Haanin, hiyay Felipe, kapipikhaan anti yayna manayti ihtew ha banwan Azoto! Imbalita nay Manged a Balita kanlan tatao ha kaganaan a babanwan dinānan na ibat ha Azoto angga ha linomateng ya ihtew ha banwan Cesarea. (Acts 8:38-39a, 40)

The Ethiopian went on his way, happy to know Jesus. Noba hiyay opihyal, angkaaliket yayna. Ket inholong na met ye pamoli na. (Acts 8:39b)
