< Acts 16 >
1 And he came to Derbe and Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, by name Timotheus, son of a Jewish believing woman, but [the] father a Greek,
Paul Vngtoku Darbe okv Listra lo, ogolo kristan amin Timoti vnamgo doopvdw. Ninyigv anv ka kristan go, Jius gvgo, vbvritola ninyigv abuv Grik go.
2 who had a [good] testimony of the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.
Listra okv Ikonium lokv mvngjwngnv mvnwng ngv Timotinyi alv nvgo vla japnya toku.
3 Him would Paul have go forth with him, and took [him and] circumcised him on account of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew his father that he was a Greek.
Paul ninyigv lvkobv Timotinyi vnggv nwngto, vkvlvgabv hv ninyia ayakmvuto. Vkvlvgabv hv ritoku ho mooku gv doonv Jius mvnwng ngv Timoti gv abuv Grik vkv vla chintoku.
4 And as they passed through the cities they instructed them to observe the decrees determined on by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem.
Bunu banggua vngpikla vngrilo, Jerusalem gv Apostol vdwa okv nyigagatv vdwgv pvbv mimpv nama tvvdu ridubv, bunu mvngjwngnv vdwlo japying jito okv ho minam am bunua ridubv mintoku.
5 The assemblies therefore were confirmed in the faith, and increased in number every day.
Vkvlvgabv Pwknvyarnvnaam lo gwlwk alvbv mvngjwng toku okv aludwkibv twngtv yaya toku.
6 And having passed through Phrygia and the Galatian country, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,
Bunu vngraptoku Prigia okv Galatia gv mooku lo ogulvgavbolo Darwknv Dowv bunua Asia mooku lo doina bunua mimu matoku.
7 having come down to Mysia, they attempted to go to Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them;
Bunu vdwlo Maisia gv launglo vngchi pvkudw, bunu gwngkw nyato Bitinya mooku lo vngdubv, vbvritola Jisu gv Dowv bunua vngmumato.
8 and having passed by Mysia they descended to Troas.
Vbvrikunamv bunu Maisia takbv vngtoku okv Troas lo vnglwk toku.
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There was a certain Macedonian man, standing and beseeching him, and saying, Pass over into Macedonia and help us.
Ho ayu Paul nyikrwgo kaato ninyia Mesedonia ngv dakto la okv ninyia kodwkrwk la kodubv kaato, “Mesedonia lo aala okv ngonua ringla bvkv vla!”
10 And when he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go forth to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to announce to them the glad tidings.
Paul so nyikrwa kaanam gola, ngonu mvngrap toku Mesedonia bv vngdu kubv, ogulvgavbolo ngonu Mvngtoku Pwknvyarnv ngonua goklin pvkunv alvnv yunying nga Mesedonia gv nyi vdwa minji dokubv.
11 Having sailed therefore away from Troas, we went in a straight course to Samothracia, and on the morrow to Neapolis,
Ngonu Troas lokv svpw gvngv vnglin lakula okv sidakala bv vngdavngra la Samotras lo vngpikla, okv logo nvnga Neapolis lo vngchito.
12 and thence to Philippi, which is [the] first city of that part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were staying in that city certain days.
Ngonu ho mooku gvngv Pilippi lo aalwk toku, ho pamtv vv Mesedonia gv mvtumvke distrik akobv rito; so si ka Roman nyi vdwgv doolwkku bvka ritoku. Ngonu hoka alu meegoka doa pvkunv.
13 And on the sabbath day we went outside the gate by the river, where it was the custom for prayer to be, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had assembled.
Doonu alu lo ngonu Jius vdwgv kumdubv dookum kongv hoka dodubv vla mvnggv rila, pamtv gvngv svko takbv linto. Ho anvnyimv vdwa ngonu dootung tokula okv minrap toku.
14 And a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, heard; whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things spoken by Paul.
Ngonu gvlo tvvnv akonv Laidia Taitira lokv, ho vv yalwng yajinv iji pioknv angv. Nyimv angv Pwknvyarnvnyi kumnv go, okv Ahtu ninyigv tuktum mvngnv nvnvnga mvkoto Paul gv ogugo minpvdw alvbv tvvria dubv.
15 And when she had been baptised and her house, she besought [us], saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and abide [there]. And she constrained us.
Kochingbv ninyia okv ninyigv naam lo doonv vdwv baptisma naatoku, ninyi ngonua harlwkto, “Aala okv ngoogv naam lo doolaka nonuno nga jvjvbv Ahtu gv mvngjwng bogobv mvngpvlo.” Okv ninyi ngonua gumya yala vnggv toku.
16 And it came to pass as we were going to prayer that a certain female slave, having a spirit of Python, met us, who brought much profit to her masters by prophesying.
Alu golo ngonu mvnwng ngv kumku mookulo vngtoku; ngonu mvnwng ngv nyijar paknv go vngrwk sito hvkv gvlo darwkmanv dowv doonvgo ho aajinv singdung nga mincho nyunvgo. Ninyigv atu gvbv hv achialv bv morko nga paanv go alvbv aainvgv lvga mincho jinam lokv.
17 She, having followed Paul and us, cried saying, These men are bondmen of the Most High God, who announce to you [the] way of salvation.
Hv Paul okv ngonua vngming gvtoku, gokto “So nyi vdwsi Kairungnv Pwknvyarnv gv pakbu go! Bunu nonua dupwng jidu oguaingbv nonu singnya svngvdw!”
18 And this she did many days. And Paul, being distressed, turned, and said to the spirit, I enjoin thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out the same hour.
Ninyia svbv rila alu meego ritoku, Anyungnga Paul achialvbv mvngdwk toku ho ninyi hinkur hirwkla okv dowa mintoku, “Ngo Jisu Kristo gv amin bv nyimv sokv alvmanv dowv liro toku vla orto jidunv!” dowv linda toku vbv ho minda rilo.
19 And her masters, seeing that the hope of their gains was gone, having seized Paul and Silas, dragged [them] into the market before the magistrates;
Vdwlo ninyigv atu gv morko nanv nvngv nyeepv kudw bunu mvngdwk toku, bunu Paul okv Silasnyi gakbwng toku okv bunu svvla ikula rigvdoogvnv nyi vnggiachaagia lo svvlwk nyatoku.
20 and having brought them up to the praetors, said, These men utterly trouble our city, being Jews,
Bunu bunua Roman nyigam vdwlo boolwk chotola okv mintoku, “So nyi vdwsi Jius vdwgo okv bunu mvnwng ngv ngoogv pamtv so ridwkriku nyadu.
21 and announce customs which it is not lawful for us to receive nor practise, being Romans.
Bunu akusunv ridungdodung go tamsar la ngonugv pvbv nga rinyingrirudo, ngonu Roman pamtv lokv, okv ngonu mvnggia mare so ridungdoodung sum vmalo bunugv rinama.”
22 And the crowd rose up too against them; and the praetors, having torn off their clothes, commanded to scourge [them].
Okv nyipamv lvkin gubv Paul okv Silasnyi naatungto. Vbvrikunamv nyigam vdwv Paul okv Silas gv vji nga putakpuyak tokula okv bunua mvdu ridubv orto nga jitoku.
23 And having laid many stripes upon them they cast [them] into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely;
Koching nga achialv bv dwngto la, bunu vdwv buniya patwk arwng lo tumlwk toku, okv patwk rigv nvngv bunua alvbv itum pvvto vla orto nga jito.
24 who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and secured their feet to the stocks.
Oogv orto nga tvvnam gola, patwk rigvnvgv bunua chenyung lo tunglwk to okv bunugv lvpa nga lvpia lwkpium sitola tumpvto.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas, in praying, were praising God with singing, and the prisoners listened to them.
Yupra lvpa nga Paul okv Silas bunyiv Pwknvyarnvnyi kumla okv mimin mintoku, okv kvvbi patwk doonv mvnwng ngv bunya tvla dootoku.
26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison shook, and all the doors were immediately opened, and the bonds of all loosed.
Dvminmabv hoka kairungnv mobi go hwkto, hogv patwk doogingnvnv vka hvkdin rvpwngto. Vbvrinamv agi mvnwng ngv kokko nyatoku, okv patwk lo doonv mvnwng ngv jaako ngv doksok toku.
27 And the jailor being awakened out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison opened, having drawn a sword was going to kill himself, thinking the prisoners had fled.
Patwk am kaarianv angv godung toku, okv vdwlo hv patwk gv age ngv kokda namnga kaapa tokula, ho ninyi patwk lo doonv vdwv toosi pvvkuji mvngtoku; vkvlvgabv hv atubongv rioksv nga svvlin laku okv atubongv peeki sitv toku.
28 But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.
Vbvritola Paul ho lokv gvngv ninyigv gaam bv gokbub lotoku, “No atubongv mvki suma bvka! Ngonu mvnwng ngv si dopvnv!”
29 And having asked for lights, he rushed in, and, trembling, fell down before Paul and Silas.
Patwk am rigv nvngv mvru bvngla ikula, arwngbv chaplwk toku, okv jinjin rumrum laku Paul okv Silas gv lvpa lvkwnglo aalwk toku.
30 And leading them out said, Sirs, what must I do that I may be saved?
Vbvrikunamv hv bunua agumbv linggv toku okv tvuto, “Tamsarbo vdw, ngo oguaingbv rila ringdubv?”
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.
Bunu mvrwkto, “Ahtu Jisunyi mvngjwng laka, okv nonua ringya tvvrikunv—nam okv noogv ogu nyi haka.”
32 And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, with all that were in his house.
Vbvrikunamv bunu Ahtu gv gaam nga japji toku okv ninyigv naam lo doonv kvvbi vdwaka.
33 And he took them the same hour of the night and washed [them] from their stripes; and was baptised, he and all his straightway.
Hogv ayulo patwk kaaria nvngv bunua vnggv toku okv bunugv ungv nga harkak toku; okv hv okv ninyigv ogu nyi mvnwng ngv lvkin gubv baptisma naatoku.
34 And having brought them into his house he laid the table [for them], and rejoiced with all his house, having believed in God.
Vbvrikunamv hv Paul okv Silasnyi naambv chaagv toku okv bunua dvnam go meego jitola dvmu tvku. Hv okv ninyigv ogumvnwng ngv achialv bv himpu toku, vkvlvgabv bunu Pwknvyarnvnyi vjv mvngjwng nyatoku.
35 And when it was day, the praetors sent the lictors, saying, Let those men go.
Aru gunv nga Roman rigvnv vdwv polis nyigam vdwa orto nga jilinla vngmuto, “Hogv nyi vdwa vngmu laku kv vla.”
36 And the jailor reported these words to Paul: The praetors have sent that ye may be let go. Now therefore go out and depart in peace.
Vkvlvgabv patwk kaarianv Paulnyi minto, “Nyigam vdwv nam okv Silasnyi orto go jilwkpv topu dukubv. Vbvribolo, nonu vngla riku, vngnyi kuka okv nyanyak alvbvku.”
37 But Paul said to them, Having beaten us publicly uncondemned, us who are Romans, they have cast us into prison, and now they thrust us out secretly? no, indeed, but let them come themselves and bring us out.
Vbvritola Paul polis nyigam vdwa mintoku, “Ngonu mvnwng lo ogu rimur goka kaapama, bunu ngonu mvnwng nga nyi gv apam lo mvritmvkato—okv ngonu mvnwng vka Roman nyi to!

38 And the lictors reported these words to the praetors. And they were afraid when they heard they were Romans.
Polis nyigam vdwv mirwk toku soogv gaam am Roman nyigam vdwlo minpa toku; okv vdwlo bunu Paul okv Silasnyi Roman nyi go vla tvvpa kunamv, bunu mvnwng ngv busu nyatoku.
39 And they came and besought them, and having brought them out, asked them to go out of the city.
Vkvlvgabv bunu aalaku okv bunua minggu lwktoku; Vbvrikunamv bunu patwk gvngv bunua linggv toku okv bunua pamtv nga kayu tokukv vla tvvkato.
40 And having gone out of the prison, they came to Lydia; and having seen the brethren, they exhorted them and went away.
