Acts 8
1 And Saul was assenting to his death, and there came in that day a great persecution upon the assembly in Jerusalem, all also were scattered abroad in the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles;
Saulo mane oyudo ni kanyo noyie gi nek mar Stefano. Kochakore chiengʼno kanisa man Jerusalem nochako yudo sand malit kendo giduto negiringo mi gikere e pinje mag Judea gi Samaria, makmana joote kende ema nodongʼ Jerusalem.
2 and devout men carried away Stephen, and made great lamentation over him;
Joma oluoro Nyasaye noyiko Stefano kendo ne giywage malit.
3 and Saul was making havoc of the assembly, into every house entering, and haling men and women, was giving them up to prison;
E kindeno Saulo nochako sando kanisa kodonjo e ot ka ot kendo omako chwo gi mon moter e od twech.
4 they then indeed, having been scattered, went abroad proclaiming good news — the word.
Joma noke e pinje maokogo noyalo Injili kamoro amora mane gidhiye.
5 And Philip having gone down to a city of Samaria, was preaching to them the Christ,
Filipo nodhi nyaka e dala mar Samaria mi olando Wach Kristo kuno.
6 the multitudes also were giving heed to the things spoken by Philip, with one accord, in their hearing and seeing the signs that he was doing,
Kane oganda owinjo yalo mar Filipo, kendo kane gineno honni mane otimo, negimedo chiko itgi mondo giwinj wechene.
7 for unclean spirits came forth from many who were possessed, crying with a loud voice, and many who have been paralytic and lame were healed,
Jochiende nowuok kuom ji mangʼeny ka giywak malit, kendo jo-athany kod pudhe nochangi.
8 and there was great joy in that city.
Omiyo dalano nopongʼ gi mor maduongʼ.
9 And a certain man, by name Simon, was before in the city using magic, and amazing the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be a certain great one,
Ne nitie ngʼat moro miluongo ni Simon. Ngʼatni nosebedo katimo timbe jwok e dala mar Samaria, kendo timbene nomako dho ji duto. Nosungore ni en ngʼama lich,
10 to whom they were all giving heed, from small unto great, saying, 'This one is the great power of God;'
kendo jo-Samaria duto, jomatindo gi jomadongo, noyie kode. Negiluwo bangʼe ka gikok niya, “Ngʼatni nigi teko Nyasaye miluongo ni Teko Maduongʼ.”
11 and they were giving heed to him, because of his having for a long time amazed them with deeds of magic.
Ji ne luwe nikech kinde mathoth nosemako dho ji gi timbene mag jwok.
12 And when they believed Philip, proclaiming good news, the things concerning the reign of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized both men and women;
To kane Filipo oyalo ne jogo Injili mar pinyruoth Nyasaye, kod nying Yesu Kristo, ne giyie, mi giyudo batiso giduto, chwo gi mon.
13 and Simon also himself did believe, and, having been baptized, he was continuing with Philip, beholding also signs and mighty acts being done, he was amazed.
Simon owuon bende noyie, bangʼe noyudo batiso, kendo nosiko koluwo bangʼ Filipo kamoro amora mane odhiye, kowuoro ranyisi madongo kod honni ma noneno ka Filipo timo.
14 And the apostles in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria hath received the word of God, did send unto them Peter and John,
Kane joote man Jerusalem owinjo ni jo-Samaria noserwako wach Nyasaye, negioro Petro gi Johana irgi.
15 who having come down did pray concerning them, that they may receive the Holy Spirit, —
Kane gichopo, ne gilamonegi mondo giyud Roho Maler,
16 for as yet he was fallen upon none of them, and only they have been baptized — to the name of the Lord Jesus;
nikech Roho Maler ne pok obiro kuom ngʼato angʼata kuomgi, to nosebatisgi mana e nying Ruoth Yesu.
17 then were they laying hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Bangʼe Petro gi Johana noyieyo lwetgi kuomgi mi giyudo Roho Maler.
18 And Simon, having beheld that through the laying on of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Spirit is given, brought before them money,
Kane Simon oneno ni ji ne yudo Roho Maler ka joote oyieyo lwetgi kuomgi, nomiyogi pesa kowacho niya,
19 saying, 'Give also to me this authority, that on whomsoever I may lay the hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.'
“An bende miyaeuru teko ma un-goni mondo ngʼato angʼata ma ayieyo lweta kuome oyud Roho Maler.”
20 And Peter said unto him, 'Thy silver with thee — may it be to destruction! because the gift of God thou didst think to possess through money;
To Petro nodwoke niya, “Mad pesagigo lal kodi nono, nikech chunyi wuondi ni inyalo ngʼiewo mich Nyasaye gi pesa!
21 thou hast neither part nor lot in this thing, for thy heart is not right before God;
Ionge gi migawo moro amora e tijwani, kendo kwan-ni onge e iye, nikech chunyi ok nikare e nyim Nyasaye.
22 reform, therefore, from this thy wickedness, and beseech God, if then the purpose of thy heart may be forgiven thee,
Omiyo lokri iwe timni marachni, kendo ilam Ruoth Nyasaye, dipo ka oweyoni richoni kuom bedo gi paro marachno e chunyi.
23 for in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness, I perceive thee being.'
Nikech aneno ka chunyi opongʼ gi nyiego mangʼeny, kendo richo oloki misumbane chuth.”
24 And Simon answering, said, 'Beseech ye for me unto the Lord, that nothing may come upon me of the things ye have spoken.'
Eka Simon nodwoko niya, “Lamna Ruoth Nyasaye mondo gima rach misewacho kuomano kik timrena.”
25 They indeed, therefore, having testified fully, and spoken the word of the Lord, did turn back to Jerusalem; in many villages also of the Samaritans they did proclaim good news.
Kane gisetimo neno kendo yalo wach Ruoth, Petro gi Johana nodok Jerusalem, ka giyalo Injili e miech Samaria mangʼeny.
26 And a messenger of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, 'Arise, and go on toward the south, on the way that is going down from Jerusalem to Gaza,' — this is desert.
Malaika mar Ruoth nowacho ni Filipo niya, “Koro aa malo idhi yo milambo, kiluwo yo mongʼado i thim moa Jerusalem kadhi Gaza.”
27 And having arisen, he went on, and lo, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a man of rank, of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to worship to Jerusalem;
Kuom mano, Filipo nochako wuoth, to kane oyudo odhi, noromo gi ja-Ethiopia mabwoch, mane en jatelo maduongʼ morito mwandu duto mag Kandake, “ruoth ma dhako mar jo-Ethiopia.” Ngʼatni noa lemo Jerusalem,
28 he was also returning, and is sitting on his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
kendo koro nodok dala, koidho gache kendo kosomo kitap Janabi Isaya.
29 And the Spirit said to Philip, 'Go near, and be joined to this chariot;'
Roho Maler nowacho ni Filipo niya, “Dhiyo mondo ichungʼ machiegni gi gari cha.”
30 and Philip having run near, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, 'Dost thou then know what thou dost read?'
Eka Filipo noringo odhi nyaka but garino mi owinjo ka ngʼatno somo kitap Janabi Isaya. Filipo nopenje niya, “Bende iwinjo tiend gima isomono?”
31 and he said, 'Why, how am I able, if some one may not guide me?' he called Philip also, having come up, to sit with him.
Ja-Ethiopia nodwoko Filipo niya, “Ere kaka dawinj tiende kaonge ngʼama olerona tiende?” Omiyo norwako Filipo mondo oidh obed kode ei gari.
32 And the contents of the Writing that he was reading was this: 'As a sheep unto slaughter he was led, and as a lamb before his shearer dumb, so he doth not open his mouth;
Kama noyudo ngʼatno somo ndiko kama wacho ni: “Notere kar thone mana ka rombo mitero kar yengʼo, kendo nolingʼ ka nyarombo manie lwet ngʼama ngʼado yiere, omiyo en bende ne ok otingʼo dhoge.
33 in his humiliation his judgment was taken away, and his generation — who shall declare? because taken from the earth is his life.'
Ne oyale angʼaya kimiye wichkuot. Bende en gi kothe ma ji noparego? Nikech ngimane nogol oko e piny.”
34 And the eunuch answering Philip said, 'I pray thee, about whom doth the prophet say this? about himself, or about some other one?'
Jatelono nopenjo Filipo niya, “Yie inyisae ni Janabi wuoyo kuom ngʼa e Ndikoni? Owuoyo kuome owuon, koso owuoyo kuom ngʼat machielo?”
35 and Philip having opened his mouth, and having begun from this Writing, proclaimed good news to him — Jesus.
Eka Filipo nochako gi Ndiko kama ne ja-Ethiopiano somo, mi odhi nyime gi yalone Injili mar Yesu.
36 And as they were going on the way, they came upon a certain water, and the eunuch said, 'Lo, water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?'
Kane gimedo dhi nyime, negichopo kama pi moro ne nitie. Ja-Ethiopia nowachone Filipo niya, “Pi eri, angʼo ma dimona yudo batiso?” [
37 [And Philip said, 'If thou dost believe out of all the heart, it is lawful;' and he answering said, 'I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God;']
Filipo nodwoke niya, “Inyalo yudo batiso, kiyie gi chunyi duto.” Nodwoke niya, “Ee, ayie ni Yesu Kristo en Wuod Nyasaye.”]
38 and he commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down to the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him;
Omiyo nochiwo chik mondo gari ochungʼ. Eka ne gilor gidhi e pi mi Filipo nobatise.
39 and when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more, for he was going on his way rejoicing;
To kane giwuok e pi, Roho Maler mar Ruoth Nyasaye nokawo Filipo apoya, mi ja-Ethiopiano ne ok ochako onene kendo to nodhi e wuodhe kopongʼ gi mor.
40 and Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through, he was proclaiming good news to all the cities, till his coming to Caesarea.
Filipo nopo kochopo e dala mar Azoto, kendo nowuotho koni gi koni, koyalo Injili e mier duto nyaka nochopo Kaisaria.
