Acts 16
1 And he came also to Derbe and to Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess which believed; but his father was a Greek.
Paul el sifilpa som nu Derbe ac Lystra, ac sun sie mwet Christian in acn we su pangpang Timothy. Nina kial el sie mwet Christian, sie mutan Jew, tusruk papa tumal ah mwet Greek.
2 The same was well reported of by the brethren that were at Lystra and Iconium.
Mwet lulalfongi nukewa in acn Lystra ac Iconium elos fahk ma wo kacl Timothy.
3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those parts: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
Paul el lungse usal Timothy welul, ouinge el kosralla. El oru ouinge mweyen mwet Jew nukewa in acn inge elos etu lah papa tumal Timothy el mwet Greek.
4 And as they went on their way through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, which had been ordained of the apostles and elders that were at Jerusalem.
Ke elos forfor in siti inge, elos fahkak nu sin mwet lulalfongi we ma mwet sap ac mwet kol lun church in acn Jerusalem elos oakiya mu elos in fahsr kac, ac elos fahk pac nu selos in akos ma sap inge.
5 So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Ouinge church uh akkeyeyukla ke lulalfongi lalos, ac puseni mwet in church uh ke len nukewa.
6 And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden of the Holy Ghost to speak the word in Asia;
Elos fahsr sasla acn Phrygia ac Galatia, mweyen Ngun Mutal tia lela elos in fahkak kas in acn Asia.
7 and when they were come over against Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia; and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not;
Ke elos sun masrol nu Mysia, elos srike in som nu in acn Bithynia, tusruktu Ngun lun Jesus tia lela.
8 and passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
Ke ma inge elos fahsr sasla acn Mysia ac som nu Troas.
9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There was a man of Macedonia standing, beseeching him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us.
Ke fong sac Paul el liye sie aruruma, ac liye sie mwet Macedonia el tu ac kwafe sel ac fahk, “Fahsru nu Macedonia ac kasrekut!”
10 And when he had seen the vision, straightway we sought to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us for to preach the gospel unto them.
Tukunna Paul el liye aruruma se inge, na kut akola in som nu Macedonia, mweyen kut liye mu God El pangon kut in luti Pweng Wo nu sin mwet we.
11 Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
Kut oayak liki acn Troas, ac kal suwoslana nwe Samothrace, ac in len tok ah kut kalla nu Neapolis.
12 and from thence to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a [Roman] colony: and we were in this city tarrying certain days.
Na kut utyak weyak nu Philippi, sie siti lun mwet Rome in acn Macedonia, ac kut muta we ke kutu len.
13 And on the sabbath day we went forth without the gate by a river side, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which were come together.
Ke len Sabbath kut illa liki siti uh ac som nu pe infacl ah, sie acn ma kut nunku mu ac oasr mwet Jew fahsreni in pre we. Kut muta in acn sac ac sramsram nu sin kutu mutan su tukeni we.
14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, to give heed unto the things which were spoken by Paul.
Sie sin mutan ma lohng kas lasr uh pa Lydia, sie mutan Thyatira su kukakin nuknuk sroninmutuk. El sie mutan alu nu sin God, ac Leum El ikasla nunak lal elan lohang nu ke ma Paul el fahk uh.
15 And when she was baptized, and her household, 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.
Mutan sac ac sou lal elos baptaisla, na el suli kut ac fahk, “Fahsru muta lohm sik ah, kowos fin liye mu nga sie mwet lulalfongi pwaye ke Leum.” Na ke sripen kas lal inge, kut som nu lohm sel.
16 And it came to pass, as we were going to the place of prayer, that a certain maid having a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying.
Sie len ah ke kut fahsr in som nu ke acn in pre, kut sun sie tulik mutan kohs su oasr ngun fohkfok yorol ma oru el ku in palye ma ac sikyak in pacl fahsru uh. Yohk mani el sruokya lun leum lal ah ke sripen palu lal uh.
17 The same following after Paul and us cried out, saying, These men are servants of the Most High God, which proclaim unto you the way of salvation.
El fahsr tokosr ac Paul, ac wowoyak, “Mwet inge elos mwet kulansap lun God Fulatlana! Elos ac fahkak nu suwos lah kowos ac moliyukla fuka!”
18 And this she did for many days. But Paul, being sore troubled, turned and said to the spirit, I charge thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.
El oru ouinge ke len na pus, nwe ke na Paul el semutengyak sel, ac tapulla fahk nu sin ngun fohkfok sac, “Ke inen Jesus Christ nga sapkin nu sum, illa lukel!” Ngun sac som lukel in pacl sacna.
19 But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they laid hold on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers,
Ke leum lun mutan sac elos akilenak lah ac wanginla inkanek in orek mani lalos sel, elos sruokilya Paul ac Silas, ac amakunutalla nu ke nien toeni in siti uh, in nununkeyuk eltal ye mutun mwet fulat.
20 and when they had brought them unto the magistrates, they said, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,
Elos usalosme nu ye mutun mwet leum lun Rome ac fahk, “Mwet inge elos mwet Jew, ac elos orek lokoalok in siti sesr uh.
21 and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to receive, or to observe, being Romans.
Elos luti ke kutu ouiya ma kisrung ma sap lasr uh. Kut mwet Rome, ac kut tia ku in eis kain facsin ma elos luti inge ac moulkin.”
22 And the multitude rose up together against them: and the magistrates rent their garments off them, and commanded to beat them with rods.
Na un mwet uh welulosyak lainul Paul ac Silas. Na mwet leum Rome uh seya nuknuk lal Paul ac Silas, ac sap in sringsring eltal.
23 And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely:
Tukun sringsring upa eltal, na sisiyang eltal nu in presin, ac fwackyang nu sin mwet liyaung presin uh in lakiya ku, eltal in tia kaingla.
24 who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
Ke mwet liyaung presin uh lohng ma sap nu sel uh, na el siseltalang nu infukil se oeloac uh, ac kapriya nialtal ke sak in kapir lulap.
25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns unto God, and the prisoners were listening to them;
Ke infulwen fong uh, Paul ac Silas pre ac on ke on in alu nu sin God, ac mwet kapir saya uh lohng ke eltal on uh.
26 and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison-house were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened; and every one’s bands were loosed.
Tia paht na kusrusr na upa se sikyak, su osrokak pac pwelung ke presin uh. Srungul nukewa ikakla, ac sein ma kapri mwet kaul uh putatla lukelos nukewa.
27 And the jailor being roused out of sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword, and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
Mwet liyaung presin el ngutalik, ac ke el liye lah srungul ke presin uh ikakla, el nunku mu mwet kapir uh kaingla. Na el faesak cutlass natul ac oru elan sifacna unilya.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.
Ac Paul el liksrenina wola ac fahk, “Nimet sifacna unikomi! Kut pa na inge.”
29 And he called for lights, and sprang in, and, trembling for fear, fell down before Paul and Silas,
Mwet liyaung presin el sap in utuku sie lam, na el yuyang nu luin presin, ac el arulana rarrar ke el putati sisken nial Paul ac Silas.
30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
Na el pwanultalla nu lik uh ac siyuk seltal, “Leum luo, mea nga ac oru tuh nga in moliyukla?”
31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.
Eltal topuk ac fahk nu sel, “Lulalfongi in Leum Jesus, na kom fah moul — kom ac mwet in lohm sum.”
32 And they spake the word of the Lord unto him, with all that were in his house.
Na eltal fahkak kas lun Leum nu sel ac nu sin mwet nukewa in lohm sel.
33 And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, immediately.
Ke ao sacna in fong sac, mwet liyaung presin el usaltalla ac ohlla kinet kacltal. Na el ac mwet nukewa in lohm sel baptaisla in pacl sacna.
34 And he brought them up into his house, and set meat before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his house, having believed in God.
Na el usalak Paul ac Silas nu in lohm sel ah, ac kitaltal mwe mongo. El ac sou lal uh sessesla ke engan mweyen inge elos lulalfongi ke God.
35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
In lotu tok ah, leum lun mwet Rome uh supwala kutu policeman in fahk nu sin mwet liyaung presin uh, “Tulala mwet luo ingan eltal in som.”
36 And the jailor reported the words to Paul, [saying], The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore come forth, and go in peace.
Ouinge mwet liyaung presin el fahk nu sel Paul, “Mwet leum uh sapma in tuh ikakla kom ac Silas. Komtal ku in som ac fahsr in misla.”
37 But Paul said unto them, They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison; and do they now cast us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and bring us out.
Tusruk Paul el fahk nu sin policeman uh, “Wangin ma koneyukyak mu oasr mwatasr kac, a elos uni kut ye mutun mwet uh — ac kut mwet Rome! Na elos siskutyang nu in presin, ac inge elos ke supwekutla in lukma. Tia ku in ouingan! Enenu mwet leum lun Rome ingan in tuku ac sifacna ikuskutla.”
38 And the serjeants reported these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, when they heard that they were Romans;
Policeman inge som ac fahkak kas laltal inge nu sin leum lun acn Rome uh; ac ke elos lohngak lah Paul ac Silas mwet Rome, elos arulana sangeng.
39 and they came and besought them; and when they had brought them out, they asked them to go away from the city.
Ouinge elos som ac taltal koluk nu seltal; ac ikasultalla liki presin, ac fahk eltal in som liki siti uh.
40 And they went out of the prison, and entered into [the house of] Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
Paul ac Silas som liki presin, ac som nu lohm sel Lydia. Eltal osun nu sin mwet lulalfongi uh we, ac sang kas in akku nu selos, na eltal som.
