Acts 13
1 Among [the people in] the congregation at Antioch there were (prophets/those who spoke messages from God) and those who taught [people about Jesus. They were] Barnabas; Simeon, who was also called Niger/Blackman; Lucius, from Cyrene [city]; Manaen, who had grown up with [King] Herod [Antipas]; and Saul.
Antioch-ki Singlupta Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba maichousing amadi tambiba ojasing kayamuk leirammi. Makhoising adudi Barnabas, Niger hainasu kouba Simeon, Cyrene-dagi Lucius, Manaen (Mahak Herod tetrarch-ka houminnarakpa) amadi Saul-ni.
2 While they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said [to them], “Appoint Barnabas and Saul to [serve] me and to [go and do] the work that I have chosen them [to do]!”
Makhoina Ibungobu khurumjaringei amadi chara hellingeida Thawai Asengbana makhoida hairak-i, “Eina makhoibu tounanaba koukhraba thabak adugidamak Barnabas amadi Saul-bu eigidamak khaidok-u.”
3 So they continued (to fast/to abstain from eating food) and pray. Then having put their hands on Barnabas and Saul and [praying that God would help them], they sent them off [to do what the Holy Spirit had commanded].
Maram aduna makhoina chara henduna haijaraba matungda makhoigi mathakta khut thambiraga makhoibu thare.
4 Barnabas and Saul, guided by the Holy Spirit, went down [from Antioch] to Seleucia [port]. From there they went by ship to Salamis [port on Cyprus Island].
Thawai Asengbana makhoibu thabiduna makhoina Seleucia-da chatlammi aduga mapham adudagi Cyprus tanna hida chatlammi.
5 While they were in Salamis, [they went] to the Jewish meeting places. There they proclaimed the message from God [about Jesus]. John [Mark went with them and] was helping them.
Makhoina Salamis-ta thungba matamda Jihudisinggi Synagogue-singda chattuna Tengban Mapugi wa sandoklammi. Makhoibu mateng pangnanaba John Mark-su makhoiga loinarammi.
6 [The three of] them went across the entire island to Paphos [city]. There they met a magician whose name was Bar-Jesus. He was a Jew who falsely [claimed] (to be a prophet/to speak messages from God).
Makhoina ithat adu phaoduna chatlaga Paphos-ta thunglammi. Mapham aduda masana masabu Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpa maichou amani haijaba Bar-Jisu kouba hikap yaikap touba Jihudi nupa ama thengnarammi.
7 He often accompanied the governor [of the island], Sergius Paulus, who was an intelligent man. The governor sent [someone] to ask Barnabas and Saul to come to him, because he wanted to hear God’s message. [So Barnabas and Saul came and told him about Jesus].
Mahak asi ithat adugi heisinglaba leingak mapu Sergius Paulus-ka tinnabani. Leingak mapu asina Tengban Mapugi wa taningbadagi Barnabas amadi Saul-bu kourammi.
8 However, the magician, whose name was Elymas [in the Greek language], was opposing them. He repeatedly tried to persuade the governor not to believe [in Jesus].
Hikap yaikap touba Elymas-na (Ming asi Greek londani) makhoigi mayokta leplammi amadi leingak mapu adubu thajabadagi leithok-hannaba hotnarammi.
9 Then Saul, who now called himself Paul, empowered by the Holy Spirit, looked intently at the magician and said,
Paul hainasu kouba Saul-na Thawai Asengbana thalladuna Elymas-ta munna yengduna hairak-i,
10 “You [(sg)] are serving the devil and you oppose everything that is good! You are always lying [to people] and doing [other] evil things to them. (You must stop saying that the truth about the Lord [God is a lot of lies!]/When will you stop changing what is true about the Lord [God and saying] what is not true about him?) [RHQ]
“Nahak asi aphaba pumnamakki yeknaba amadi Devil-gi machani. Nahakti makhal-makha pumnamakki lounamba amadi marei mara pumnamakna thallaba mini. Ibungogi achumba lambising adubu serannahannaba hotnaba nahak keidounungda toklaroidra?
11 Right now the Lord [God] [MTY] is going to punish you! You will become blind and not [even] be able to see light for [some] time.” At once he became [blind, as though he was] in a dark mist, and he groped about, searching for someone [to hold him by the] hand and lead him.
Houjik Mapu Ibungogi khut adu nahakki maiyokta lei, nahak matam khara numitki mangal uroi.” Khudak aduda amamba leichin amana mahakki mit kupsinkhre aduga mahakpu chingbinaba kanagumba amabu phangnaba mahakna koima marammi.
12 When the governor saw what had happened [to Elymas], he believed [in the Lord Jesus]. He was amazed by [what Paul and Barnabas] were teaching about the Lord [Jesus].
Thoudok adu leingak mapu aduna ubada mahak thajarammi maramdi Ibungogi maramda tambiba aduda mahak ngaklammi.
13 [After that], Paul and the two men with him went by ship from Paphos to Perga [port] in Pamphylia [province. At Perga] John [Mark] left them and returned to [his home in] Jerusalem.
Paul amadi mahakka loinabasing adu Paphos-tagi Pamphylia-gi sahar Perga-da hi tongduna laklammi. Mapham aduda John Mark-na makhoibu thadoklamlaga Jerusalem-da hankhirammi.
14 Then Paul and Barnabas traveled [by land] from Perga, and arrived in Antioch [city] near Pisidia [district in Galatia province]. (On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day) they entered the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place and sat down.
Madudagi makhoina Perga-dagi chatkhiduna Pisidia-gi Antioch-ta thunglammi aduga Potthaba numitta synagogue-ta changduna phamtharammi.
15 [Someone] read [aloud] from what [Moses had written. Then someone read from what the other] prophets [had written] [MTY]. Then the leaders of the Jewish meeting place gave [someone this] note [to take] to Paul and Barnabas: “Fellow Jews, if [one of] you wants to speak to the people [here] to encourage them, please speak [to us(exc) now].”
Wayel Yathang amadi Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba maichousinggi lairiktagi paraba matungda synagogue-ki luchingbasing aduna makhoida pao asi pirak-i, “Ichil inaosa, misingda pukning thougatnaba wa leirabadi madu haibiyu.”
16 So Paul stood up and motioned with his right hand [so that the people would listen to him]. Then he said, “Fellow Israelis and you [non-Jewish people] who [also] worship God, [please] listen [to me]!
Maduda Paul-na lepkhattuna mahakna haiba wa tuminna tabinaba makhut thanggatlaga hairak-i, “Israel-gi mising amadi Tengban Mapubu khurumjaba atoppa phurupki mioi pumnamak, eina haiba tabiyu!
17 God, whom we [(inc)] Israelis worship, chose our ancestors [to be his people], and he caused them to become very numerous while they were foreigners living in Egypt. [Then after many years], God helped them [MTY] powerfully and led them out of there.
Israel phurup asigi Tengban Mapuna eikhoigi ipa ipusingbu khandokpire amadi makhoina Egypt-ta lamlanba oina leiringeida Ibungona makhoibu achouba phurup ama oihanbire aduga Ibungogi panggallaba khutna makhoibu Egypt-tagi puthokpirakle
18 [Even though they repeatedly disobeyed him, he] cared for them for about 40 years [while they were] in the desert.
amasung chahi niphu chupna lamjao lamhanggi lamdamda Ibungona makhoigi lamchatsingbu khaangbikhi.
19 He [enabled the Israelis] to conquer seven tribal groups [who were then living] in Canaan [region], and he gave their land to us Israelis for us to possess.
Aduga Ibungona Canaan-gi phurup taretpu mang-hallaga makhoigi leibak adu Ibungogi misingda makhoigi lam oina pibikhi.
20 [Our ancestors began to possess Canaan] about 450 years after [their ancestors had arrived in Egypt].” Acts 13:20b-22 “After that, God appointed leaders [to rule the Israeli people. Those leaders continued to rule our people] until the time when the prophet Samuel [ruled them].
Pumnamak asi chahi chamari yangkheirom changlammi.” “Masigi matungda Tengban Mapuna makhoida Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpa maichou Samuel phaoba wayel mapusing pibikhi.
21 Then, [while Samuel was still their leader], the people demanded that he [appoint] a king [to rule them. So] God appointed Saul, the son of Kish, from the tribe of Benjamin, [to be their king]. He [ruled them] for 40 years.
Makhoina ningthou ama pibinaba nijabada Tengban Mapuna makhoida Benjamin salaidagi Kish-ki machanupa Saul-bu makhoigi ningthou oina pibikhi aduga mahakna chahi niphu pankhi.
22 After God had rejected Saul [from being king], he appointed David to be their king. God said about him, ‘I have observed that David, son of Jesse, is exactly the kind of man that I desire [IDM]. He will do [everything that] I want [him to do].’”
Adubu Tengban Mapuna Saul-bu louthoklaba matungda David-pu makhoigi ningthou oihanbikhi. Mahakki maramda Ishworna haikhiba adu asini, ‘Eina Jesse-gi machanupa eigi thamoina khoidajaba David-pu phangle, eina mahakpu touhanningba pumnamak mahakna tougani.’
23 “From [among] David’s descendants, God brought one of them, Jesus, to [us] Israeli people to save us, just like he had told [David and our other ancestors] that he would do.
Tengban Mapuna wasakpikhibagi matung-inna David-ki charol suroldagi Israel-da Kanbiba Mapu Jisubu pubirakle.
24 Before Jesus began his work, John [the Baptizer] preached to all of our Israeli people [who came to him. He told them] that they should turn away from their sinful behavior [and ask God to forgive them. Then he] would baptize them.
Jisuna mahakki thabak houdringei mamangda John-na Israel-gi mi pumnamakta paptagi pukning hongnaba amadi baptize lounaba sandoklammi.
25 When John was about to finish the work [that God gave him to do], he frequently said [to the people], ‘Do you think [RHQ] that I am [the Messiah whom God promised to send]? No, I am not. But listen! The Messiah will [soon] come. [He is so much greater than I am that] I am not [even] important enough to be his slave [MET].’”
Aduga John-na mahakki thabak loisillamdaida hairak-i, ‘Nakhoina Eihak kanani haina khanbage? Nakhoina ngairiba Ibungo mahak adu ei natte. Adubu Ibungo mahakti eigi tungda lakli, eidi Ibungo mahakki sandal mari louthokpa phaoba matik chade.’”
26 “Fellow Israelis, you who are descendants of Abraham, and [you non-Jewish people who] also worship God, [please listen! It is] to [all of] us that [God] has sent the message about [how he] saves people.
“Abraham-gi charol surol oiriba ichil inaosa amadi Tengban Mapubu khurumjaba atoppa phurupki mioi pumnamak, aran-khubhamgi paojel asi eikhoida thabirakle.
27 The people who were living in Jerusalem and their rulers did not realize that this man [Jesus was the one whom God had sent to save them]. Although messages from [MTY] the prophets have been read [aloud] {someone has read [aloud] messages from [MTY] the prophets} every (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), they did not understand [what the prophets wrote about the Messiah. So] the [Jewish leaders] condemned Jesus [to die], which was just like the prophets predicted.
Jerusalem-gi mising amadi makhoigi luchingbasingna Jisubu Kanbiba Mapuni haiba khanglamde aduga Potthaba numit khudingda paba Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpiba maichousinggi wa adusu khanglamde. Adubu makhoina Ibungoda maral theijinduna maichousing adugi wa adu thung-halle.
28 [Many people accused Jesus of doing wicked things], but they could not prove that he had done anything for which he deserved to die. They insistently asked Pilate [the governor] to command that Jesus be executed {to command soldiers to execute Jesus}. [So Pilate did what they asked him to do].
Makhoina Ibungobu hatnanaba maram phangdrabasu, Ibungobu hatnanaba Pilate-ta haijakhi.
29 They did [to Jesus] all the things that [the prophets long ago had] written [that people would do to] him. [They killed Jesus by nailing him to a cross. Then] his body was taken {[some people took] his body} down from the cross and placed it in a tomb.
Mapugi Puyada ikhiba Ibungogi maram khudingmak makhoina pangthoklabada makhoina Ibungobu cross-tagi loutharaga mongpham amagi manungda thamkhi.
30 However, God (raised him from the dead/caused him to live again after he had died)
Adubu Tengban Mapuna Ibungobu sibadagi hinggat-hanbikhi
31 and for many days he [repeatedly] appeared to [his followers] who had come along with him from Galilee [province] to Jerusalem. Those [who saw him] are telling the [Jewish] people about him now.”
aduga Galilee-dagi Jerusalem tanna Ibungoga chatminnakhiba makhoisingna Ibungobu ujakhi. Houjik makhoina Israel-gi misingda sakhi oiri.
32 “[Right] now we [two] are proclaiming to you this good message. We want to tell you that God has fulfilled what he promised to [our Jewish] ancestors!
Eikhoina Aphaba Pao asi nakhoida purakli: Tengban Mapuna eikhoigi ipa ipusingda toubigani haina wasakpikhiba adu Jisubu sibadagi hinggat-hanbiduna makhoigi macha masu oiriba eikhoigidamak toubire. Thagat Iseigi anisuba iseida ibagumbani; ‘Nahak eigi Ichanupani; ngasi eihak nahakki Napa Ibungo oirabani.’
33 He has now done that for us [(inc) who are] their descendants, [and also for you who are not Jews], by causing Jesus to live again. That is just like what [David] wrote in the second Psalm that [God said when he was sending his Son], You [(sg)] are my Son; Today I have shown everyone [that I really am] your Father.
34 [God] has (raised [the Messiah] from the dead/caused [the Messiah] to live again after he had died) and will never let him die again. [Concerning that, God] said [to our Jewish ancestors], ‘I will surely help you, as I [promised] David [that I would do].’
Ibungobu sibadagi hinggat-hanbiba amadi Ibungogi hakchangbu mongphamda patthahalloi haibagi maramda Tengban Mapuna haibiba adudi asini: ‘Eina David-ta wasakpikhiba asengba amadi lengdraba yaipha thoujal adu eina nangonda pibigani.’
35 So [in writing] another [Psalm, David] said this [to God about the Messiah]: ‘Because I am devoted to you and always obey [you, when I die] you [(sg)] will not let my body decay.’
Thagat Iseigi atoppa mapham amada asumnasu hai, ‘Tengban Mapugi asengba mahak adugi hakchang adu Tengban Mapuna keidoungeida pattha pumthahalloi.’
36 While David was living, he did what God wanted him to do. And when he died [EUP], his [body] was buried, [as] his ancestors’ [bodies had been buried], and his body decayed. [So he could not have been speaking about himself in this Psalm].
David-na mahakki mirolgi matamda Tengban Mapugi aningba matung inna Tengban Mapubu thougal touramlaga mahak sikhi amadi mahakki mapa mapusingga loinana leirol chankhi aduga mahakki hakchang mongphamda pattha pumthakhi.
37 [Instead, he was speaking about Jesus. Jesus also died], but God (raised him from the dead/caused him to live again), and [therefore] his body did not decay.”
Adubu Tengban Mapuna asibadagi hinggat-hanbikhraba Ibungo mangondadi pattha pumthaba thokte.
38 “Therefore, [my] fellow Israelis [and other friends], it is important for you to know that [we(exc)] are declaring to you [that God] can forgive you for your sins as a result of [what] Jesus [has done]. Because of [what] Jesus [has done], [God] considers that everyone who believes [in Jesus] is no longer guilty (OR, the record has been erased {[God] has erased the record}) concerning everything that they [have done that displeased God. But] when [God] does [that for you], it is not as a result of [your obeying] the laws [that] Moses [wrote].
Maram aduna eigi ichil inaosing, Jisugi mapanna pap kokpiba asi nakhoida sandokpani haibasi nakhoina khangba adu eina pammi. Moses-ki Wayel Yathanggi mapanna nakhoibu chumhanbiba ngamdaba adu Ibungogi mapanna thajaba mi khudingmakpu paptagi ningtamle.
40 Therefore be careful that [God] does not judge you [MTY], as one of the prophets said [MTY] that God would do!
Tengban Mapugi wa phongdokpibasingna haikhiba adu nakhoida thoktanaba nakhoi cheksillu:
41 [The prophet wrote that God said], You who ridicule [me], you will [certainly] be astonished [when you see what I am doing], and [then] you will be destroyed. You will be astonished because I will do something [terrible to you] while you are living. You would not believe [that I would do that] even though someone told you!”
‘Yeng-u, karemnabasa ngaksu ngaklo mangsu manglo! Maramdi nakhoigi haktakta eina thabak ama tou-i madu kanagumba amana nakhoida hairaba phaoba nakhoina keidoungeidasu thajaroi!’”
42 After Paul [finished speaking], while he and Barnabas were leaving the Jewish meeting place, [many of] the people there repeatedly requested that on the next (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) [the two of them] should speak to them [again] about those things [that Paul had just told them].
Paul amadi Barnabas-na synagogue-tagi thorakpada mising aduna mathanggi Potthaba numitta makhoida waramsing adu makha tana haibinaba haijarammi.
43 After they began to leave [that meeting], many [of them] went along with Paul and Barnabas. They consisted of Jews and also of non-Jews who had accepted the things that the Jews believe. Paul and Barnabas continued talking to them, and were urging them to continue [believing the message that] God kindly [forgives people’s sins because of what Jesus did].
Synagogue-ta tinnaba adu kainarabada Jihudising amadi Jihudi laining louraba laining chetpa Jihudi nattaba mi mayam amana Paul amadi Barnabas-ki matung illammi. Tengban Mapugi thoujalda chetna leinanaba Pakhonchatpasing aduna makhoida wari saduna pukning thougatpirammi.
44 On the next Jewish rest day, most of the [people in Antioch came to] the Jewish meeting place to hear [Paul and Barnabas] speak about the Lord [Jesus].
Mathanggi Potthaba numitta sahar adugi mi ayambana Mapu Ibungogi wa tanaba laklammi.
45 But [the leaders of] [SYN] the Jews became extremely jealous, because they saw that large crowds of [non-Jewish people were coming to hear Paul and Barnabas. So] they began to contradict the things that Paul was saying [and also] to insult [him].
Jihudisingna miyam adu ubada kallakpana thallammi; maram aduna Paul-na haiba wasing aduda makhoina yettuna mahakpu thina nganglammi.
46 Then, speaking very boldly, Paul and Barnabas said [to those Jewish leaders], “[We two] had to speak the message from God [about Jesus] to you [Jews] first [before we proclaim it to non-Jews, because God commanded us to do that. But] you are rejecting God’s message. [By doing that], you have shown that you are not worthy (to have eternal life/to live eternally [with God]). [Therefore], we are leaving [you, and now we] will go to the non-Jewish people [to tell them the message from God]. (aiōnios g166)
Adubu Paul amadi Barnabas-na thouna phana paokhum pirak-i, “Eikhoina Tengban Mapugi wa adu nakhoida hanna haiba tabani adubu nakhoina madu loudrabanina nakhoi lomba naidana hingba phangba matik chade haina nasana khanjare. Houjikti eikhoi nakhoibu thadoktuna Jihudi nattaba phurupsingda chatlagani. (aiōnios g166)
47 [We are doing that also] because the Lord [God] has commanded us [to do it]. He said to us, ‘I have appointed you [to reveal things about me] to non-Jewish people [MET] that will be [like] a light to them. [I have appointed] you to tell people everywhere [MTY] in the world [about the one who came] to save [them].’”
Mapu Ibungona eikhoida pibiba yathang adu asini: ‘Malemgi aroiba maphamsing phaoba kanbiba phangnanaba Eina nahakpu Jihudi nattaba phurupsinggi mangal oihalle.’”
48 While the non-Jewish people were listening [to those words], they began to rejoice, and they repeatedly said that the message about the Lord [Jesus] was wonderful. And all of the non-Jewish people whom [God] had chosen (to have eternal [life/to live eternally with God]) believed [the message about the Lord Jesus]. (aiōnios g166)
Jihudi nattaba mising aduna madu tabada makhoi haraorammi amadi Mapu Ibungogi wa adu thagatcharammi aduga lomba naidana hingba phangnaba khandokpirabasingna thajare. (aiōnios g166)
49 [At that time, many of the believers] traveled around throughout that region. As they did that, they were proclaiming the message about the Lord [Jesus] [MTY].
Lam adu sinba thungna Mapu Ibungogi wa sandoklammi.
50 However, [some leaders of] [SYN] the Jews incited the most important men in the city, and [some] important/influential women who had accepted what the Jews believe, to oppose [Paul and Barnabas. So those non-Jewish people] incited [other people also] to persecute Paul and Barnabas. As a result they expelled the two men from their region.
Adubu sahar adugi athoiba nupasing amadi ikai khumnaba yabi laining chetpi nupisingbu Jihudisingna thoujillammi. Makhoina Paul amadi Barnabas-ki maiyokta irang thok-handuna ot-neihallaga makhoibu makhoigi lamdagi tanthoklammi.
51 So, [as the two apostles were leaving, they] shook the dust from their feet [to show those Jewish leaders that God had rejected them and would punish them. They left Antioch] and went to Iconium [city].
Maram aduna Paul amadi Barnabas-na yaningdaba oina makhonggi khongyagi uphul makhoigi maiyokta kanthoklamlaga Iconium-da chatlammi.
52 Meanwhile, the believers [in Antioch] continued to rejoice greatly, and they continued to be completely controlled by the Holy Spirit.
Aduga Antioch-ta leiba thajabasingdu haraobaga amadi Thawai Asengbagana thallammi.
