Acts 11
1 The apostles and [other] believers who lived in various towns in Judea [province] heard people say that [some] non-Jewish people had believed the message [from] God [about Jesus].
WANPORON o jaulan kan, me mi Iudaa, ronadar, me men liki kan pil aleer majan en Kot.
2 So when Peter [and the six other believers] returned [from Caesarea] to Jerusalem, [some] Jewish believers criticized Peter, [because they thought that Jews should not associate with non-Jews] [MTY].
Petruj lao pwara don Ierujalem, me kijan jirkomjaij oko ap akamai on i indada:
3 They said to him, “Not only was it wrong for you(sg) to visit non-Jewish people, you [even] ate with them!”
Kom pwarala ren ol akai me jo jirkomjaij oko o mana re’rail.
4 So Peter began to explain exactly [what had happened concerning Cornelius].
A Petruj pikikidi majani on irail karoj me wiauier irerokedo majani:
5 He said, “I was praying [by myself] in Joppa [town], and in a trance I saw a vision. I saw that something like a large sheet was being lowered from heaven. [It was tied with ropes] at its four corners, and it came down to where I was.
Nai mi nan kanim lope wia kapakap. O ni ai wukilar, i kilaner kajanjal eu: Ed eu kodido jan nanlan likamata tein pwainok kalaimun eu, me imwi kan pukopuk pena o a kodido imp ai.
6 As I was looking intently into it, I saw some tame animals [but also animals that our laws forbid us to eat, including] wild animals, snakes, and wild birds.
Ni ai kankakil, i ap diar o kilaner man aluki pa en jappa kai, o man laoalo, o man korop, o manpir en pan lan.
7 Then I heard God [MTY] commanding me, ‘Peter, get up, kill [some of these], and [cook and] eat [their meat]!’
Nai ari ronadar nil eu, me majani on ia: Petruj, paurida, kamela o mana!
8 But I replied, ‘Lord, [you(sg)] surely do not [really want me to do that], because I have never eaten [MTY] meat [from any animal] that [our laws say] that we [(exc)] must not eat [SYN]!’
A nai potoan on: Kaidin Main, pwe jota me mal kot, de me jaut kin ko on nan au ai.
9 God spoke from heaven [to me] a second time, ‘[I am] God, [so] if I have made something acceptable [to eat], do not say that it is not acceptable [to eat]!’
A nil kariapak japen jan nanlan: Meakot me Kot kamakelekeledar, koe der mamaleki!
10 Then [after that happened three times, the sheet with] all [those animals and birds] was pulled up into heaven again.”
Mepukat wiauier pan jilepak, ap apdar nanlan.
11 “At that exact moment, three men who had been {whom [Cornelius] had} sent from Caesarea arrived at the house where I was staying.
A kilan, madan ol jilimen kajinenda mon im, me i mi lole, me pakadara don ia jan Jajarea.
12 [God’s] Spirit told me that I should be willing to go with them [even though they were not Jews]. These six [Jewish] believers [from Joppa] went with me [to Caesarea], and then we [(exc)] went into that [non-Jewish] man’s house.
A Nen kotin majani on ia, i en ian irail wei jo peikajal; a jaulan wonemen pukat pil ian ia. Kit ari pedelon on nan im en ol o.
13 He told us that he had seen an angel standing in his house. The angel told him, ‘Tell some [men] to go to Joppa and bring back Simon whose other name is Peter.
I ari kaire kin kit, duen a kilaner tounlan o kotikot nan im a, majani on i: Kadara won lope ol akai, me pan ukedo Jimon me pil ad a Petruj,
14 He will tell you [(sg)] how you and everyone [MTY] else in your house will be saved {how [God] will save you and everyone [MTY] else in your house}.’
Me pan padaki on uk, me koe o noumui kan karoj pan maur kila.
15 After I started to speak, the Holy Spirit [suddenly] came down on them, just like he had first [MTY] come on us [during the Pentecost festival].
Ni ai pikikidi padak, Nen jaraui ap moredi on po’rail, dueta a kotin moredi on po’tail ni tapi o.
16 Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John caused people to be baptized in water, but [God] will cause the Holy Spirit [to enter you and change your lives.’]
Nai ari tamanda majan en Kaun o, me a kotin majani: Melel, pil me Ioanej paptaij kier, a komail pan paptaij kila Nen jaraui.
17 God gave those non-Jews the same Holy Spirit that he had given to us [(inc)] after we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. So, ([I] could not [possibly] tell God that he did wrong [when he gave them the Holy Spirit!]/how could I [tell] God that he did wrong [when he gave them the Holy Spirit]?) [RHQ] [He was showing that he had received them]!”
Ari, ma Kot kotin kijakija irail dueta a kotin kijakija kitail er, kitail me pojonlar Kaun Iejuj Krijtuj, ij nai, pwe i en kak palian Kot?
18 After [those Jewish believers] heard what Peter said, they stopped criticizing [him. Instead], they praised God, saying, “Then it is [clear to us that] God has also accepted the non-Jews so that they will have eternal life, if they turn from their sinful behavior [and believe in Jesus]!”
Irail lao ronadar mepukat ap nenenla o kapina Kot indada: Nan Kot pil kotiki on men liki kan en kalula, pwen maurela.
19 After [people had killed] Stephen, many of the believers left [Jerusalem and went] to other places, because people were causing them to suffer [there in Jerusalem. Some of] them went to Phoenicia [region], some went to Cyprus [Island], and others went to Antioch [city in Syria province. In those places] they were continually telling people the message [about Jesus], but they told only other Jewish people.
A me muei pajan ni anjau en kamekam en Jtepanuj, kakan jili lel Ponijien, o Jipern, o Antiokien o jota padaki on meamen pwe Juj akan eta.
20 Some of the believers were men from Cyprus and from Cyrene [city in north Africa]. They went to Antioch, and [although they told other Jews about] the Lord Jesus, they also told non-Jewish people [there].
A nan pun arail ol akai mia, men Jipern o Kirene, me pwara don Antiokien, ap pil padaki on men Krik ronamau en Kaun Ieiuij.
21 The Lord [God] [MTY] was powerfully enabling those [believers to preach effectively. As a result], very many [non-Jewish] people believed [their message and] trusted in the Lord [Jesus].
A lim en Kaun o ieian irail o me toto pojonlar wuki on Kaun o.
22 The group of believers in Jerusalem heard [MTY] [people say that many people in Antioch were believing in Jesus. So] the [leaders] of the congregation in [Jerusalem] asked Barnabas to go to Antioch.
Ron en mepukat ap peidon momodijou en Ierujalem. Ir ari poronelar Parnapaj, pwen kokola lel Antiokien.
23 When he got [there], he realized that God had acted kindly toward [the believers. So] he was very happy, and he continually encouraged all of the [believers] to continue to trust completely in the Lord [Jesus].
I lao pwarador o kilaner mak en Kot, ap peren kidar o panaui irail karoj, ren kelail ni monion arail o podidi on Kaun o.
24 Barnabas was a good man [whom] the Holy Spirit completely controlled, one who trusted [God] completely. [Because of what Barnabas did], many people [there] believed in the Lord [Jesus].
Pwe i me ol kelail o mau amen, me dir en Nen jaraui o pojon. A aramaj toto me wuki on Kaun o.
25 Then Barnabas went to Tarsus [in Cilicia province to try] to find Saul.
A ap kola Tarjuj rapaki Pauluj.
26 After he found him, Barnabas brought him [back to] Antioch [to help teach the believers. So during] a whole year [Barnabas and Saul] met [regularly] with the congregation [there] and taught many of them [about Jesus. It was] at Antioch that the believers were first called Christians {[that people] first called the believers Christians}.
A lao diaradar i, ap ukedo i Antiokien. Ira ap mimi ren momodijou par eu o padapadaki on me toto. A nan Antiokien tounpadak kan tapidar adaneki japwilim en Krijtuj akan.
27 During the time [that Barnabas and Saul were] at Antioch, some [believers who were] prophets arrived there from Jerusalem.
A ni ran pukat jaukop akai ko don Antiokien jan Ierujalem.
28 One of them, whose name was Agabus, stood up [in order to speak]. [God’s] Spirit enabled him to prophesy (that there would soon be a famine in many countries/that [people] in many countries [HYP] would soon [suffer because they] would not have enough [food] to eat). (That famine happened when Claudius was the [Roman Emperor].)
A amen irail, me ad a Akapuj me u kokopki Nen, me muei lek lapalap pan kipadi jappa; ari a pwaidar ni muein Klaudiuj.
29 When the believers [there heard what Agabus said], they decided that they would send [money] to help the believers who lived in Judea. Each [of them decided to give as much money] as he was able [to give].
A irail inauki pena, me re pan kijakia jaulan kan, me mi Ierujalem duen ar kapwapwa amen amen.
30 They sent [the money] with Barnabas and Saul to the leaders of the congregation [in Jerusalem].
Mepukat re wiadar; re kadar won jaunkoa kan Parnapaj o Pauluj me wala.
