Acts 8
1 Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the assembly which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the emissaries.
Ac Saul el wi akkeye in anwuki Stephen. In len sacna, mwet lun church in acn Jerusalem mutawauk in pula mwe akkeok na upa nu selos. Mwet lulalfongi nukewa, sayen mwet sap uh, fahsrelik nu in acn nukewa Judea ac Samaria.
2 Devout men buried Stephen and lamented greatly over him.
Kutu mwet ma inse pwaye in lulalfongi elos arulana tungel Stephen, ac piknilya.
3 But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into every house and dragged both men and women off to prison.
A Saul el srike in kunausla church. El uti-utyak inkul nukewa, ac amakunla mukul ac mutan su lulalfongi liki lohm selos, ac siselosyang nu in presin.
4 Therefore those who were scattered abroad went around proclaiming the word.
Mwet lulalfongi ma fahsrelik elos fahkak ke Pweng Wo yen nukewa elos som nu we.
5 Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Messiah.
Ac Philip el som nu in sie siti in Samaria ac fahkak ke Christ nu sin mwet we.
6 The multitudes listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip when they heard and saw the signs which he did.
Un mwet puspis arulana lohang nu sel Philip, in lohng ma el fahk uh ac in liye mwenmen ma el oru.
7 For unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them. They came out, crying with a loud voice. Many who had been paralysed and lame were healed.
Ngun fohkfok uh illa liki mwet puspis ac wowoyak ke pusra lulap, ac mwet ul ac mwet sukapas puspis akkeyeyukla.
8 There was great joy in that city.
Ouinge mwet in siti sac elos arulana engan.
9 But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who used to practise sorcery in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, making himself out to be some great one,
Oasr sie mwet in acn sac pangpang Simon, su orek susfa ke pacl na loeloes we, ac aklutye mwet Samaria. El sifacna oru mu el mwet fulat se,
10 to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is that great power of God.”
ac mwet nukewa in siti sac, kewana mwet fulat ac mwet pusisel, arulana lohang nu ke ma el oru. Elos fahk mu el pa ku se lun God su pangpang “Ku Lulap.”
11 They listened to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.
Elos tuh lohang ouinge nu sel ke sripen polo pacl na loes se el arulana aklutyalos ke susfa ma el oru.
12 But when they believed Philip proclaiming good news concerning God’s Kingdom and the name of Yeshua the Messiah, they were immersed, both men and women.
Tusruktu ke pacl se elos lulalfongi mwe luti lal Philip ke pweng wo ke Tokosrai lun God ac ke inen Jesus Christ, elos baptaisla, mukul ac mutan.
13 Simon himself also believed. Being immersed, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed.
Simon el wi pac lulalfongi ac tukun baptaisla el, el ukwal Philip pacl nukewa, ac el arulana fwefela ke el liye ma sakirik yohk ac mwenmen ma orek uh.
14 Now when the emissaries who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and Yochanan to them,
Ke mwet sap ma muta Jerusalem elos lohngak lah mwet Samaria elos eis kas lun God, elos supwalla Peter ac John nu yorolos.
15 who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;
Ke eltal sun acn Samaria, eltal pre ke mwet lulalfongi we tuh elos in eis Ngun Mutal.
16 for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been immersed in the name of Messiah Yeshua.
Tuh Ngun Mutal soenna putati nu faclos; elos baptaisla mukena ke inen Leum Jesus.
17 Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Na Peter ac John filiya paolos faclos, ac elos eis Ngun Mutal.
18 Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the emissaries’ hands, he offered them money,
Simon el liye lah Ngun Mutal itukyang nu sin mwet lulalfongi ke mwet sap uh filiya paolos faclos, ouinge el ke sang kutu mani nu sel Peter ac John,
19 saying, “Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.”
ac fahk, “Se pac ku se inge nu sik, tuh kutena mwet ma nga filiya pouk fac, fah eis Ngun Mutal.”
20 But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!
Tuh Peter el topuk ac fahk nu sel, “Lela tuh kom ac mani lom an in som nu in hell, ke kom nunku mu kom in moli mwe kite lun God ke mani! (questioned)
21 You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart isn’t right before God.
Wangin ma lom ke orekma se inge, mweyen insiom tia pwaye ye mutun God.
22 Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
Ke ma inge, kom in auliyak liki nunak koluk lom an, ac pre nu sin Leum tuh elan nunak munas nu sum ke kom oru kain in nunak ingan uh.
23 For I see that you are in the poison of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity.”
Tuh nga liye mu kom sessesla ke sok, ac ma koluk uh kaprikomi.”
24 Simon answered, “Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to me.”
Simon el fahk nu sel Peter ac John, “Nunak munas, pre nu sin God keik, tuh ma komtal fahk ingan in fah tia sikme nu sik.”
25 They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Good News to many villages of the Samaritans.
Tukun Peter ac John fahkak kas lun Leum ac sramsram ke lulalfongi laltal sifacna, eltal fahkak pac Pweng Wo uh in siti srisrik puspis in Samaria ke eltal folok nu Jerusalem.
26 Then an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise, and go towards the south to the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desert.”
Sie lipufan lun Leum God fahk nu sel Philip, “Akola ac oatula nu eir, nu ke inkanek soko ma som Jerusalem lac nu Gaza.” (Inkanek soko inge tia orekmakinyuk in pacl inge.)
27 He arose and went; and behold, there was a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship.
Na Philip el tuyak ac som. El liye sie mwet eunuch Ethiopia me, su sie mwet fulat inkul sin kasra lun acn Ethiopia. Mwet se inge pa liyaung mwe kasrup nukewa lun kasra sac. El tuh tuku nu Jerusalem in alu.
28 He was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
In pacl se inge el folokla nu yen sel. El muta fin chariot natul ac riti kas lal Isaiah mwet palu.
29 The Spirit said to Philip, “Go near, and join yourself to this chariot.”
Ac Ngun Mutal fahk nu sel Philip, “Kalukyang nu ke chariot soko ingo, ac fahsr apkuran nu kac.”
30 Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”
Philip el yula nu yorol, ac lohng lah el riti book lal Isaiah mwet palu, na el siyuk sel, “Ku kom kalem ke ma kom riti an?”
31 He said, “How can I, unless someone explains it to me?” He begged Philip to come up and sit with him.
Na mwet fulat sac fahk, “Nga ac kalem fuka fin wangin mwet aketeya nu sik?” Na el sap Philip elan sroak ac welul muta fin chariot uh.
32 Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he doesn’t open his mouth.
Pa inge mwe rit se ma el riti ah: “El oana soko sheep ma pwenyukla in anwuki, Oana soko lamb ma mislana ke pacl in kalkul lal, El tiana fahkla kutena kas.
33 In his humiliation, his judgement was taken away. Who will declare His generation? For his life is taken from the earth.”
Akpusiselyeyuk el, ac wangin nununku suwohs orek nu sel. Wangin mwet ac ku in srumun ke fwilin tulik natul Mweyen moul lal fin faclu uh safla.”
34 The eunuch answered Philip, “Who is the prophet talking about? About himself, or about someone else?”
Mwet fulat sac siyuk sel Philip, “Su mwet palu se inge kaskas kac uh? Kacl sifacna, ku ke siena mwet?”
35 Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him about Yeshua.
Na Philip el mutawauk in sramsram. El mutawauk ke mwe rit se inge, ac fahkang nu sel ke Pweng Wo ke Jesus.
36 As they went on the way, they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Behold, here is water. What is keeping me from being immersed?”
Eltal kasrusr nwe sun sie acn ma oasr kof we. Na mwet fulat sac fahk, “Liye, kof pa inge. Ya oasr ma ac ikolyuwi nga in baptaisla?” [
Philip el fahk nu sel, “Kom fin lulalfongi ke insiom kewa, kom ku in baptaisla.” Ac el topuk, “Nga lulalfongi lah Jesus Christ El Wen nutin God.”]
38 He commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he immersed him.
Na mwet fulat sac sap chariot sac in tui, na el ac Philip tukenina oatui nu in kof uh, ac Philip el baptaisella.
39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch didn’t see him any more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
Ke eltal utyak liki kof uh, Ngun lun Leum usalla Philip. Mwet fulat sac tiana sifil liyal Philip tok, a ke el som inkanek lal el arulana engan.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus. Passing through, he preached the Good News to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.
Philip el esmakla tuh na el muta Ashdod. Na el luti ke Pweng Wo in siti srisrik nukewa nwe ke el sun acn Caesarea.
