8 And Saulos was consenting to _ the killing of _ him .
And a _ great _ persecution became on that the day , against the assembly , which was in Hierousalaʸm/(Yə rūshālayim) .
And all were _ dispersed throughout the regions of _ the _ Youdaia and Samareia/(Shomrōn) , except the ambassadors .
2 And devout men buried the Stefanos , and they _ made great lamentation over him .
3 But Saulos was _ ravaging the assembly , by entering _ in the houses , dragging both men and women , he _ was_ giving_ over them to prison .
4 The therefore on _ one_ hand having _ been_ dispersed , passed _ through good _ message_ preaching the message .
5 On _ the_ other_ hand Filippos having _ come_ down to the a _ city the of _ Samareia , was _ proclaiming the chosen _ one/messiah to _ them .
6 and the crowds /Were /_ taking _ heed to _ the being _ spoken by the Filippos with _ one_ accord , in the time to _ be_ hearing them and to _ be_ seeing the signs that he _ was_ doing .
7 For/Because many of _ the having unclean spirits , shouting with _ a _ loud _ voice , they _ were_ coming_ out , and many having _ been_ paralyzed and lame were _ healed .
8 and great joy became in the that city .
9 And a _ man certain by _ the _ name Simōn , was _ previously_ starting in the city practicing _ magic , and amazing the people of _ the _ Samareia , saying himself to _ be someone great .
10 To _ whom all from small to great were _ giving_ heed saying :
This is the Power of _ the _ god , which being _ called great .
11 And they _ were_ giving_ heed to _ him , because _ of that to _ have_ amazed them with _ the magic for _ much time .
12 But when they _ believed the in _ Filippos , good _ message_ preaching concerning the kingdom the of _ god and the name of _ Yaʸsous/(Yə hōshūˊa) chosen _ one/messiah , they _ were_ being_ immersed both men and women .
13 And the Simōn himself also believed , and having _ been_ immersed , was continuing the with _ Filippos , observing both signs and great miracles becoming , he _ was_ marvelling .
14 And the ambassadors in Hierousalaʸm/(Yə rūshālayim) having _ heard that the Samareia/(Shomrōn) has _ received the message of _ the _ god , they _ sent_ out Petros and Yōannaʸs to them , 15 who having _ come_ down , they _ prayed for them , so _ that they _ may_ receive the _ holy _ spirit .
16 For/Because it _ was not _ yet having _ fallen_ on on no _ one of _ them , but they _ were_ only _ being having _ been_ immersed into the name of _ the master Yaʸsous .
17 Then they _ were_ laying_ on their hands on them , and they _ were_ receiving the _ holy _ spirit .
18 And the Simōn having _ seen that the spirit is _ being_ given by the laying _ on of _ the hands of _ the ambassadors , he _ offered money to _ them 19 saying :
Give to _ also_ me the this authority , in _ order_ that on _ whom if I _ may_ lay_ on my hands , he _ may_ be_ receiving the _ holy _ spirit .
20 But Petros said to him :
The silver of _ you , it _ might_ be to destruction with you , because you _ thought to _ be_ acquiring the gift of _ the _ god by money .
21 There _ is no portion nor allotment to _ you in the this matter .
For/Because the heart of _ you not is right before the god .
22 Therefore repent of the this evil of _ you , and be _ besought of _ the master if perhaps the intention of _ the heart of _ you will _ be_ being_ forgiven to _ you .
23 For/Because I _ am_ seeing you being in the _ gall of _ bitterness and the _ bond of _ unrighteousness .
24 But the Simōn answering said :
You _ all Be _ besought for me to the master , so _ that nothing of _ which you _ all_ have_ spoken may _ come_ over on me .
25 Therefore they indeed , having _ testified and having _ spoken the message of _ the master , were _ returning to Hierousalaʸm/(Yə rūshālayim) , and they _ were_ evangelizing many villages of _ the Samareitaʸs/(Shomrōn) .
26 But an _ messenger of _ the _ master spoke to Filippos saying :
Rise _ up and be _ going to the _ south , to the road which coming _ down from Hierousalaʸm to Gaza/(ˊAzzāh) , this is the _ wilderness road .
27 And having _ risen_ up , he _ was_ gone , and see , a _ man , an _ Aithiops/(Kūshiy) eunuch , official of _ Kandakaʸ queen of _ the _ Aithiopss , who was over all the treasure of _ her , who had _ come going _ to_ prostrate in Hierousalaʸm , 28 and he _ was returning and sitting in the chariot of _ him , and was _ reading the prophet Aʸsaias/(Yə shaˊyāh ) .
29 And the spirit said to _ the _ Filippos :
Approach and be _ joined_ together to _ the this _ chariot .
30 And the Filippos having _ run_ up , heard of _ him reading Aʸsaias the prophet , and said :
Then surely you _ are_ knowing what you _ are_ reading ?
31 And he said :
For/Because how wishfully I _ might_ be_ able if not someone will _ be_ guiding me ?
And he _ appealed the to _ Filippos having _ gone_ up to _ sit_ down with him .
32 And the passage of _ the _ scripture which he _ was_ reading was this :
he _ was_ led As a _ sheep to the _ slaughter , and silent as a _ lamb before the having _ shaved him , thus he _ is_ not _ opening_ up the mouth of _ him .
33 In the humiliation , the justice of _ him was _ taken_ away , who will _ be_ describing the generation of _ him ?
Because the life of _ him is _ being_ taken_ away from the earth .
34 And the eunuch answering to _ the _ Filippos said :
I _ am_ beseeching of _ you concerning whom the prophet is _ saying this ?
Concerning himself or concerning someone other ?
35 And the Filippos having _ opened_ up the mouth of _ him , and having _ begun from the this scripture , he _ good_ message_ preached the Yaʸsous/(Yə hōshūˊa) to _ him .
36 And as they _ were_ going along the road , they _ came to some water , and the eunuch is _ saying :
Behold , water , what is _ forbidding me to _ be_ immersed ?
37 38 And he _ commanded the chariot to _ stop , and they _ both _ came_ down , to the water , the both Filippos and the eunuch , and he _ immersed him .
39 But when they _ went_ up out _ of the water , the _ spirit of _ the _ master snatched the Filippos , and the eunuch not saw him no _ longer , because/for he _ was_ going the way of _ him rejoicing .
40 But Filippos was _ found at Azōtos/(ʼAshə ddōd) , and passing _ through he _ was_ good_ message_ preaching to _ all _ the cities , until the time him to _ come to Kaisareia .
