< Acts 3 >

1 [One day] Peter and John were going to the Temple [courtyard]. It was three o’clock in the afternoon, which was the time when people prayed [there publicly].
Faiꞌ esa, liiꞌ telu bobꞌo na, Petrus no Yohanis risi Lamatuaꞌ Ume Hule-Oꞌe Huu Na. Rae hule-oꞌe ro atahori feaꞌ ra.
2 There was a man there who had been lame from the time he was born. He [was sitting by] the gate called Beautiful [Gate], at the entrance to the Temple [area]. People put him there every day, so that he could ask those who were entering [or leaving] the temple courtyard to give him some money.
Ara rae masoꞌ tungga lelesu ineꞌ esa nara na ‘Lelesu Meulauꞌ’. Sia naa ara rita touꞌ kekoꞌ esa. Tungga fai atahori luꞌa rendi e nisiꞌ mamanaꞌ naa fo ana bisa hule-huleꞌ sudꞌiꞌ a saa sia atahori mana masoꞌ risiꞌ Ume Hule Oꞌe-Huuꞌ a.
3 As Peter and John were about to enter [the Temple courtyard], the lame man saw them and asked them several times to give him some money. (OR, The lame man said to them several times, “Please give me some money!”)
Ana nita Petrus no Yohanis rae rala reu, ma ana loo lima na de noꞌe oi, “Ama nggare! Sue au dei. Fee au saa mbei dei.”
4 As Peter and John looked directly at him, Peter said to him, “Look at us!”
Ruꞌa se mete e, ma Petrus oi, “Aꞌa! Mete ia dei!”
5 So he looked directly at them, expecting to get some [money] from them.
Atahori naa botiꞌ mata na fo mete ruꞌa se, ma dudꞌuꞌa nae, “Wi! Ruꞌa se, rae fee au saa o.”
6 Then Peter said to him, “I do not have any money [MTY], but what I [can do], I will [do] for you. Jesus Christ, [who was] from Nazareth [town], has authorized [MTY] me [to heal you! So get up and] walk!”
Te Petrus oi, “Aꞌa! Au nda ma dꞌoiꞌ sen esa saꞌ boe. Te au ae fee nggo, saa fo au hambu oras ia. Aꞌa rena malolole, e! No koasa mia Yesus Karistus, atahori Nasaret naa, au denu nggo mumburiꞌ fo laoꞌ leon!”
7 Then Peter grasped the man’s right hand and helped him to stand up. Immediately the man’s feet and ankles became strong.
Boe ma Petrus toꞌu atahori kekoꞌ naa lima onan, de nafefela e. Ma ei nara hai reuꞌ ena.
8 He jumped up and began to walk! Then he entered the Temple [area] with them, walking and leaping and praising God!
Aiboiꞌ ma, ana teteek nambariiꞌ, ma laoꞌ neu-nema, fo sobꞌa ei nara. Basa de ana tungga masoꞌ nisiꞌ Ume Hule-Oꞌeꞌ rala neu no ka ruaꞌ naa ra. Ana laoꞌ teteek no koa-kio Lamatualain.
9 All the people [there] saw that man walking and praising God.
Ma basa atahori ra rita e laoꞌ no koa-kio Lamatualain.
10 They recognized that he was the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate in the Temple [courtyard] and ask [people] for money! So all the people there were greatly amazed at what had happened to him.
Ara rahine e ma titindindi. Ara oi, “Eni atahori kekoꞌ mana hule-huleꞌ ma soa endoꞌ sia Lelesu Meulauꞌ a, to? Saa de taꞌo naa, e?”
11 As the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were so surprised [that they did not know what to think] So they ran to the two apostles at the place [in the Temple courtyard] that is called {that [people] call} Solomon’s Porch.
Basa ma, atahori naa tungga deka-deka Petrus no Yohanis. Teluꞌ se losa ume los esa naran ‘Ume Los Mane Soleman’. Boe ma, basa atahori rema heo rala se no titindindi.
12 When Peter saw that, he said to the crowd, “Fellow Israelites, (you should not be surprised about what has happened to this man!/why are you so surprised about what has happened to this man?) [RHQ] And you should not stare at us, either! You seem to [RHQ] think that the two of us enabled this man to walk because we [(exc)] ourselves are powerful or because we please God very much!
Petrus mete atahori naa ra, boe ma olaꞌ oi, “He! Atahori Israꞌel re! Taꞌo bee de toronooꞌ ra titindindi mete dalaꞌ ia? Taꞌo bee de hei mete mimemeu mikindooꞌ a hai? Hei mae atahori ia laoꞌ huu hai pake modꞌo, do, huu hai manggate tungga Lamatualain? Do, taꞌo bee?
13 [So I will tell you what is really happening]. Our ancestors, including Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, worshipped God. And now he has greatly honored Jesus, who always served him. Your [leaders] brought Jesus [to the governor, Pilate], so that [his soldiers would kill him]. And [God considers that] in front of Pilate you [were the ones who rejected] Jesus [as your king], after Pilate had decided that he should release Jesus.
Au ae ufadꞌe taꞌo ia: Hita bei-baꞌi nara, Abraham, Isak, no Yakob, beꞌutee neu Lamatualain. Ana mana soꞌu botiꞌ Yesus, Eni atahori na, fo Ana tengga nalaꞌ a. Yesus naa, atahori fo fai maꞌahulu na hei nggari hendi fee neu Hofernur Pilatus. Hofernur nae mboꞌi hendi E, te hei labꞌan hihii na, naa fo ana nda mboꞌi E sa.
14 [Although Jesus] always did what was right/just and good, you rejected him. [Pilate wanted to release him, but] you urgently asked Pilate to release (a murderer/someone who had killed people)!
Te Yesus, Atahori nda masalaꞌ sa. Rala na maloleꞌ. Hofernur nae mboꞌi E, te basa nggi labꞌan e. Deꞌulakaꞌ mana seliꞌ fai, hei dunggu-mbau denu e mboꞌi atahori deꞌulakaꞌ esa, tukan tati nisa atahori, fo fee baliꞌ neu hei.
15 [God considers that] you killed [Jesus], the one who gives people [eternal] life. But God has greatly honored him (by causing him to become alive again after he died/by raising him from the dead). Many of us saw [him after that, and now] we [(exc)] are telling [you] about it.
Hei mana tao misa Yesus. Te huu Eni mana tao hita tasodꞌa. Memaꞌ Ana mate ena, te Lamatualain tao nasodꞌa baliꞌ E mia mamate Na. Hai mita E no mata mara ena.
16 It is because [we two] trusted in what Jesus [MTY, PRS] [could do, that he] made this man, whom you see and know, strong again. Yes, it is because we [(exc)] trusted in Jesus that he has completely healed this man for all of you to see.”
Hei mihine atahori kekoꞌ ia. Ia naa, ana maꞌadere ena, te hai nda mana tao mihaiꞌ e sa. Hai nda miꞌena koasa saa saꞌ boe. Koasa naa memaꞌ mia Yesus. Atahori ia maꞌadere baliꞌ ena, huu namahere Lamatuaꞌ Yesus. Yesus mana naꞌahahaiꞌ e sia hei mata mara.
17 “Now, my fellow-countrymen, I know that you and your leaders did that [to Jesus] because you [and they] did not know [that he was the Messiah].
Toronoo nggare! Ia naa au bubꞌuluꞌ ae hei, mo malangga mara, tao deꞌulakaꞌ neu Yesus te hei nda bubꞌuluꞌ eni nenendi na sa.
18 However, [your putting him to death] was what God had predicted that people would do. [Long ago] he told all the prophets [MTY] to write [what people would do to the Messiah. They wrote] that the Messiah, whom God [would send], would suffer [and die].
Te Lamatualain nafadꞌe memaꞌ soal Kristus mia doo na neu pake mana ola-ola nara nae, Atahori fo Ana tengga nalaꞌ a, musi lemba doidꞌosoꞌ. Ia naa, dalaꞌ naa dadꞌi ena.
19 So, turn away from your sinful behavior and ask God [to help you] do what pleases [him], in order that he may completely forgive you for your sins.
Huu naa, hei musi lao hela sala mara, fo baliꞌ misiꞌ Lamatualain fo Ana fee ambon ma nda nasanedꞌa hei sala mara sa ena.
20 [If you do that], there will be times [when you will know that] the Lord [God is] helping [you]. And some day he will [again] send back [to earth] the Messiah, whom he appointed for you. That person is Jesus.
Dei fo Lamatualain tao manggatee hei rala mara. Ana o nae haitua baliꞌ fee hei, Kristus fo Ana tengga nalaꞌ a. Kristus naa, naeni Yesus fo maꞌahulu na Ana haitua fee heiꞌ a.
21 Jesus must stay in heaven until the time when God will cause all that he has created to become new. Long ago God promised [to do that, and] he chose holy prophets to tell [that to people]. (aiōn g165)
Maꞌahulu na, Ana olaꞌ pake mana ola-ola Nara oi, ‘Dei fo Lamatualain natetu basaꞌ e dadꞌi feuꞌ!’ Naa de, Yesus musi nahati, sia Mamana Meumare Na losa fai na nema, fo Ana nafeu basa dalaꞌ ra. (aiōn g165)
22 For [example, the prophet] Moses said [this about the Messiah]: ‘The Lord (your God/the God whom you [worship]) will cause someone to become a prophet to tell you [God’s message. God will send him] as [he sent] me, [and he will be] from among your own people. You must listen to everything that this prophet tells you [and obey him] [SYN].
Maꞌahulu na, bai Musa o olaꞌ fee atahori Israꞌel ra nae, ‘Dei fo hei malangga ma, Lamatualain, denu atahori esa mia hei fo dadꞌi mana ola-ola na, onaꞌ Ana pake au dadꞌi mana ola-olaꞌ na. Dadꞌi hei musi pasa ndiki mara fo rena saa fo Ana nae nafadꞌe hei.
23 [Those who] do not listen to [that prophet and obey] him will no longer belong to God’s people, and [God] will get rid of them’.”
Te seka nda hii rena Atahori naa oꞌola na sa, dei fo ana saranggaa mia Lamatualain atahori Nara, ma nda ma hak no se sa fai.’
24 [Peter continued], “All the prophets have told [about what would happen during] the time [MTY] [in which we(inc) are living. Those prophets include] Samuel [and all the others who] later also spoke [about these events] before they happened.
Nda akaꞌ a baꞌi Musa olaꞌ taꞌo naa sa. Te Lamatualain o pake atahori feaꞌ ra fo dadꞌi mana ola-ola nara. Ara rafadꞌe taꞌo naa boe. Onaꞌ a Lamatualain pake baꞌi Samuel fo nafadꞌe saa fo hita tita no mata tara aleꞌ ia.
25 You [as well as we(exc)] are the people [to whom God sent the Messiah, as] the prophets said [MTY] [that he would]. And when God strongly promised [to bless] our ancestors, he also surely promised to bless you. He said to Abraham [concerning the Messiah], ‘[I] will bless all people on the earth as a result of [what] your descendant [will do].’”
Lamatualain o helu hita baꞌi Abraham na nae, ‘Mia ho tititi-nonosi mara, au fee papala-babꞌanggiꞌ neu atahori mia basa nusaꞌ sia raefafoꞌ ia.’ De ia naa, hehelu-fufuliꞌ fo maꞌahulu na Lamatualain fee neu mana ola-ola nara, dadꞌi sia hei, au toronoo atahori Israꞌel nggara.
26 [Peter concluded], “[So] when God sent [to the earth] (Jesus, the one who always obeys him/his servant Jesus), he sent him first to you [Israelites] to bless you. [God will] enable you to stop doing what is wicked [and to start doing what pleases him].”
Lamatualain haitua Ana Na, fo Ana tengga nalaꞌ a, nema natudꞌu dalaꞌ fo hei lao hela sala mara. No taꞌo naa, Ana natudꞌu rala malole na neu nggi. Lamatualain haitua Anaꞌ naa naꞌahuluꞌ fee hei, dei fo fee nusa feaꞌ ra. Naa dadꞌi papala-babꞌanggiꞌ fee basa hita.’
