< Acts 16 >
1 Paul went first to Derbe, and then on to Lystra, where he met a believer by the name of Timothy. He was the son of a Jewish Christian mother, and his father was Greek.
Bolo da asili, Debe moilaiga doaga: le, yolesili asili, Lisadala moilaiga doaga: i. Amo moilai ganodini Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu dunu ea dio amo Dimodi esalu. Ea ame da Gode Ea hou lalegagui Yu uda esalu, be ea ada da Galigi dunu.
2 The brothers at Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him.
Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu fi dunu Lisadala amola Aigouniame moilai amo ganodini esalu, ilia huluane da Dimodi ea hou hahawane ba: i.
3 Paul wanted Timothy to travel with him, so he circumcised him because the Jews in the area all knew that Timothy's father was Greek.
Bolo da Dimodi sigi masunu dawa: beba: le, ea gadofo damui. Yu dunu huluane amo soge ganodini ilia Dimodi eda da Galigi dunu dawa: i. Amo dawa: beba: le, e da Dimodi ea gadofo damui.
4 As they went through the different towns they gave them the requirements the apostles and elders in Jerusalem had said should be observed.
Ilia moilai enoma enoma asili, ilia da Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu fi dunuma, Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade fi, asunasi dunu amola sese asigilai dunu ilia fofada: su liligi olelei. Amola amo sema nabawane hamoma: ne sia: i.
5 The churches were strengthened in their trust in the Lord and every day their numbers increased.
Amaiba: le, sese fi dunu ilia dafawaneyale dawa: su hou da asigilalu. Eno dunu da ilima gilisiba: le, ilia idi da bagade heda: su.
6 They traveled through the districts of Phrygia and Galatia, since the Holy Spirit prevented them from going to the province of Asia to speak the word.
Gode Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa Gala da ilima amo A: isia soge ganodini Gode Sia: olelemu da logo hame gala, olelei. Amaiba: le, ilia Falidia amola Gala: isia, amo soge ganodini lalu.
7 When they arrived at the border of Mysia they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to enter.
Ilia Misia soge alalo amoga doaga: le, ilia Bidinia soge ganodini masunu dawa: i galu. Be Yesu Gelesu Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa Gala da logo hame gala olelebeba: le, yolesi.
8 So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas.
Amaiba: le, ilia Misia soge baligili, Daloua: se moilai bai bagadega doaga: i.
9 There Paul saw in vision during the night a man from Macedonia standing up, pleading with him, “Please come over to Macedonia and help us!”
Amo gasiga, Bolo da ea asigi dawa: su ganodini esalawane ba: i. E da Ma: sidounia dunu lelu ema ha: giwane agoane adole ba: lalebe ba: i, “Nini fidimusa: , Ma: sidounia sogega misa!” agoane ba: i.
10 After Paul saw this vision, we immediately made arrangements to go to Macedonia, since we concluded that God had called us to share the good news with them.
Bolo da amo esalu ba: su ba: beba: le, ninia da Ma: sidounia sogega masa: ne momagei. Bai Gode da nini amo dunuma Ea Sia: Ida: iwane olelema: ne ninima wei dagoi, ninia dawa: i.
11 We set sail from Troas and made straight for Samothrace. The next day we went on to Neapolis,
Daloua: se moilai bai bagade yolesili, ninia foga ahoasu dusagai amo ganodini fila heda: le, moloiwane asili, Sa: moudala: isi oga amoga doaga: le, golale, asili, Nia: boulisi moilai bai bagadega doaga: i.
12 and from there to Philippi, the most important town in Macedonia, and also a Roman colony. We stayed in this city for several days.
Dusagai fisili, ninia soge amo golili, Filibai moilaiga doaga: i. Filibai da Ma: sidounia soge amo ganodini bisili moilai dialu. Louma gamane da amo moilai ouligisu. Amo ganodini ninia eso bagahame agoane esalu.
13 On the Sabbath day we went out of the town gates down to the riverside where we thought people would come to pray. We sat down and talked with the women that had gathered there.
Sa: bade esoga ninia moilai yolesili gadili asili, Yu dunu ilia hano bega: Godema sia: ne gadomusa: gilisisu amo ninia dawa: beba: le, amo sogebi hogolalu. Uda da gilisibi ba: loba, ninia amola fili, ilima sia: dasu.
14 One of them was called Lydia, who sold purple cloth from the town of Thyatira. She worshiped God, and she listened to us. The Lord opened her mind to what Paul was saying, and she accepted what he told her.
Amo uda gilisisu da ninia sia: nabi. Uda afae ea dio amo Lidia. E da Daiadaila esalu uda, amola ea hawa: hamosu da abula ogaiyei bidi lasu. E da Godema nodosu hou hanai galu. Amalalu, Bolo da sia: beba: le, Hina Gode da Lidia ea dogo ganodini olelebeba: le, e Bolo ea sia: hanaiwane nababeba: le, lalegagui.
15 After she and all her household were baptized, she pleaded with us, “If you really think that I'm truly committed to the Lord, then come and stay at my house.” She kept on insisting until we agreed!
E amola dunu amola uda, huluane ea diasu ganodini esalu, da hanoga fane sanasinanu, e ninima amane sia: i, “Na da Yesu Gelesu Ea hou moloiwane lalegagui dagoi amo dilia dafawaneyale dawa: i galea, na diasuga ouesalumusa: misa.” E da ninima ha: giwane adole ba: beba: le, ninia da ea diasuga ouesalumusa: asi.
16 One day when we were going down to the place of prayer we met a slave girl possessed by an evil spirit. She earned her masters a great deal of money by fortune-telling.
Eso afaega, ninia sia: ne gadosu sogebi doaga: musa: ahoanoba, muniga bidi lai udigili hawa: hamosu a: fini da ninima doaga: i. Ea dogo ganodini Fio mano aligila sa: iba: le, amo ea gasaga e da ba: la: lusu hou hamosu. E da fa: no misunu hou eno dunuma olelebeba: le, ilia da muni bagade amo a: fini ea ouligisu dunuma iasu.
17 This girl followed Paul and the rest of us around, shouting, “These men are the servants of Almighty God. They are telling you how to be saved!”
E da Bolo amola ninima fa: no bobogele, bagadewane amane wele sia: nanu, “Amo dunu da ‘gode’ huluanema baligisu Gode, amo Ea hawa: hamosu dunu. Ilia da dilima gaga: su logo olelemu!”
18 She went on doing this for several days. This bothered Paul so he turned around and told the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to leave her!” The spirit immediately left her.
Amo hou e da eso bagohame amoga hamobeba: le, Bolo da da: i dioi bagade ba: i. E da sinidigili, wadela: i a: silibu amo a: fini ea dogo ganodini esalu amoma amane sia: i, “Yesu Gelesu Ea Dioba: le, di amo a: fini ea dogoga fadegale fasima!” Amogaluwane, Fio liligi da mugului dagoi.
19 But when her masters saw they had lost their means of making money, they grabbed hold of Paul and Silas and dragged them before the authorities at the marketplace.
Be amo a: fini ea ouligisu dunu da ilia muni lamu logo damui dagoi ba: beba: le, ilia Bolo amola Sailase gagulaligili, fofada: su dunu amo fofada: su soge bidi lama: ne diasu soge amo ganodini dialu, amoga hiouginana asi.
20 They brought them in front of the magistrates, and accused them: “These Jewish men are causing a great disturbance in our town,” they said.
Ilia da Louma fofada: su dunuma doaga: loba, amane sia: i, “Amo dunu da Yu dunu. Ilia sia: ga gegesu ninia moilai ganodini wili gala: sa.
21 “They're advocating things that are illegal for us as Romans to accept or to practice.”
Ilia hou ninia sema wadela: musa: olelesa. Ninia da Louma fi dunu esala. Amaiba: le ninia da ili hou hamomu amo da hamedei!”
22 The crowd joined together in an attack on them. The magistrates tore off Paul and Silas' clothes, and ordered them beaten with rods.
Dunu huluane gilisi da amo dunu fidimusa: , Bolo amola Sailase, elama sia: ga gegei. Amalalu, Louma fofada: su dunu da Bolo amola Sailase, ela abula gadelale fadegale fasili, dadi gagui dunu da ela fegasuga fama: ne sia: i.
23 After giving them a severe beating, they threw them into prison, ordering the jailer to keep them locked up.
Ha: giwane fananu, ilia da ela se dabe iasu diasu ganodini ha: digi. Se dabe iasu diasu ouligisu dunuma logo noga: le ga: sima: ne sia: i.
24 The jailer followed his orders. He threw Paul and Silas into the inner cell and shackled their feet in the stocks.
Amo sia: nababeba: le, se dabe iasu diasu ouligisu dunu e da Bolo amola Sailase, se dabe iasu diasu ganodinidafa, amo ganodini sali. Ela mae masa: ne, ela emo e da dioi bagade ifa amo ganodini la: gi.
25 Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing praises to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.
Gasimogoa, Bolo amola Sailase, Godema sia: ne gadosa amola Gode Ea gesami hea: lalebe ba: i. Eno se dabe iasu diasu ganodini sali dunu huluane da nabalu.
26 Suddenly a tremendous earthquake shook the foundations of the prison. Immediately all the doors flew open and everyone's chains fell off.
Amalaloba, bebeda: nima bagade misi. Gasa bagadeba: le, se dabe iasu diasu amola se dabe iasu diasu lelu soge, da bagadewane ugugui. Hedolowane, se dabe iasu diasu logo huluane doasili, se dabe iasu diasu dunu huluane ili sia: ine la: gi udigili fadegai dagoi ba: i.
27 The jailer woke up and saw the doors of the prison wide open. He drew his sword and was about to kill himself, thinking that the prisoners had escaped.
Se dabe iasu diasu ouligisu dunu e da nedigili, wa: legadole, logo doasi dagoi ba: beba: le, se dabe iasu diasu sali dunu huluane da hobea: i dagoi, e agoane dawa: i galu. Amaiba: le, ea gobihei bagade duga: le gadole, hi da: i hi gobele medomusa: dawa: i galu.
28 But Paul shouted out, “Don't hurt yourself—we're all still here!”
Be Bolo da ema halagala: le amane sia: i, “Dia da: i mae medoma! Ninia huluane guiguda: esala!”
29 The jailer asked for lights to be brought and rushed in. Shaking with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas.
Se dabe iasu diasu ouligisu dunu da ea hawa: hamosu dunu amo ema gamali gaguli misa: ne sia: i. E da se dabe iasu diasu ganodini hehenane, beda: iba: le e da Bolo amola Sailase, amo ela emo gadenenewane yaguguli diasa: i.
30 He escorted them out and asked them, “Sirs, what do I have to do so I can be saved?”
Amalalu, e da ela lobolele gadili oule asili, elama adole ba: i, “Ada! Na gaga: ma: ne adi hamoma: bela: ?”
31 “Trust in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your whole household,” they replied.
Ela bu adole i, “Di da Hina Gode Yesu Gelesu dafawaneyale dawa: sea, lalegagusia, di amola dia sosogo fi da gaga: su ba: mu.”
32 Then they shared the word of the Lord with him and everyone who lived in his house.
Amalalu ela Gode Ea Sia: Ida: iwane Gala ema amola dunu huluane amo diasu ganodini esalu, ilima olelei.
33 Even though it was late at night he bathed their wounds, and he was baptized right away, along with all his family.
Amalalu, se dabe iasu diasu ouligisu dunu da ela la: ididili oule asili, ela fa: gi amola fofai dodofei. E amola ea sosogo fi, huluane gilisili hanoga fane sanasi.
34 He took them home and had a meal prepared for them. The jailer and his whole family were full of joy because they trusted in God.
Amalalu, e da Bolo amola Sailase, bu ea diasuga oule heda: le, elama ha: i manu i. E amola ea sosogo fi, da Gode Ea hou waha dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, hahawane bagade ba: i.
35 Early the next day the magistrate sent officials to the jailer, telling him, “Release those men.”
Golale hahabe, Louma Gamane fofada: su dunu da dadi gagui dunu se dabe iasu diasu ouligisu dunuma, Bolo amola Sailase, gadili masa: ne se dabe iasu diasu logo doasima: ne sia: musa: asunasi.
36 The jailer told Paul, “The magistrates have sent word to release you. So you can leave, and go in peace.”
Amaiba: le, se dabe iasu diasu ouligisu dunu da Boloma amane sia: i, “Fofada: su dunu da di amola Sailase masa: ne, se dabe iasu diasu logo doasima, amo adomusa: , dunu asunasi dagoi. Amaiba: le, alia wali olofoiwane masunu da defea.”
37 But Paul told them, “They publicly beat us without a trial—and yet we're Roman citizens! Then they threw us in prison. Now they want to quietly let us go? No, they should come themselves and release us!”
Be Bolo da dadi gagui dunuma amane adole i, “Ilia da ania da wadela: i hou hamoi hamedafa ba: i. Be ilia dunu huluane ba: ma: ne, ani bagade fasu. Ania amola da Louma fi dunu esala. Amalalu, ilia ani se dabe iasu diasu ganodini ha: digi. Be wali ilia ani wamowane gadili asunasimusa: dawa: sa. Hame mabu! Louma fofada: su dunu ilisu misini, asigiwane ani se dabe iasu diasu logo ilisu doasimu da defea!”
38 The officials went back and reported this to the magistrates. When they heard that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens they were really worried,
Dadi gagui dunu da buhagili, Louma fofada: su dunuma amo sia: olelei. Bolo amola Sailase da Louma fi dunu, amo sia: nababeba: le, ilia bagadewane beda: i galu.
39 and went to apologize to them. They escorted them out and begged them to leave town.
Amaiba: le, ilia elama asili, elama asigi sia: sia: i. Amalalu, ela ilia lobolele, se dabe iasu diasu fisili, asigiwane eno diasuga masa: ne sia: i.
40 So Paul and Silas left the prison and went to Lydia's house. There they met with the believers, encouraged them, and then went on their way.
Be Bolo amola Sailase, da se dabe iasu diasu fisili, Lidia ea diasuga asi. Amoga ela Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu fi dunu yosia: le, ilima fidisu asigi sia: sia: nanu, fisili asi.
