Orekma 16
1 Paul el sifilpa som nu Derbe ac Lystra, ac sun sie mwet Christian in acn we su pangpang Timothy. Nina kial el sie mwet Christian, sie mutan Jew, tusruk papa tumal ah mwet Greek.
Paul came to Derbe and then to Lystra, where he found a disciple named Timothy, the son of a believing Jewish woman and a Greek father.
2 Mwet lulalfongi nukewa in acn Lystra ac Iconium elos fahk ma wo kacl Timothy.
The brothers in Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him.
3 Paul el lungse usal Timothy welul, ouinge el kosralla. El oru ouinge mweyen mwet Jew nukewa in acn inge elos etu lah papa tumal Timothy el mwet Greek.
Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, so he took him and circumcised him on account of the Jews in that area, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
4 Ke elos forfor in siti inge, elos fahkak nu sin mwet lulalfongi we ma mwet sap ac mwet kol lun church in acn Jerusalem elos oakiya mu elos in fahsr kac, ac elos fahk pac nu selos in akos ma sap inge.
As they went from town to town, they delivered the decisions handed down by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the people to obey.
5 Ouinge church uh akkeyeyukla ke lulalfongi lalos, ac puseni mwet in church uh ke len nukewa.
So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily in numbers.
6 Elos fahsr sasla acn Phrygia ac Galatia, mweyen Ngun Mutal tia lela elos in fahkak kas in acn Asia.
After the Holy Spirit had prevented them from speaking the word in the province of Asia, they traveled through the region of Phrygia and Galatia.
7 Ke elos sun masrol nu Mysia, elos srike in som nu in acn Bithynia, tusruktu Ngun lun Jesus tia lela.
And when they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not permit them.
8 Ke ma inge elos fahsr sasla acn Mysia ac som nu Troas.
So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas.
9 Ke fong sac Paul el liye sie aruruma, ac liye sie mwet Macedonia el tu ac kwafe sel ac fahk, “Fahsru nu Macedonia ac kasrekut!”
During the night, Paul had a vision of a man of Macedonia standing and pleading with him, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”
10 Tukunna Paul el liye aruruma se inge, na kut akola in som nu Macedonia, mweyen kut liye mu God El pangon kut in luti Pweng Wo nu sin mwet we.
As soon as Paul had seen the vision, we got ready to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
11 Kut oayak liki acn Troas, ac kal suwoslana nwe Samothrace, ac in len tok ah kut kalla nu Neapolis.
We sailed from Troas straight to Samothrace, and the following day on to Neapolis.
12 Na kut utyak weyak nu Philippi, sie siti lun mwet Rome in acn Macedonia, ac kut muta we ke kutu len.
From there we went to the Roman colony of Philippi, the leading city of that district of Macedonia. And we stayed there several days.
13 Ke len Sabbath kut illa liki siti uh ac som nu pe infacl ah, sie acn ma kut nunku mu ac oasr mwet Jew fahsreni in pre we. Kut muta in acn sac ac sramsram nu sin kutu mutan su tukeni we.
On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate along the river, where it was customary to find a place of prayer. After sitting down, we spoke to the women who had gathered there.
14 Sie sin mutan ma lohng kas lasr uh pa Lydia, sie mutan Thyatira su kukakin nuknuk sroninmutuk. El sie mutan alu nu sin God, ac Leum El ikasla nunak lal elan lohang nu ke ma Paul el fahk uh.
Among those listening was a woman named Lydia, a dealer in purple cloth from the city of Thyatira, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to respond to Paul’s message.
15 Mutan sac ac sou lal elos baptaisla, na el suli kut ac fahk, “Fahsru muta lohm sik ah, kowos fin liye mu nga sie mwet lulalfongi pwaye ke Leum.” Na ke sripen kas lal inge, kut som nu lohm sel.
And when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, “If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house.” And she persuaded us.
16 Sie len ah ke kut fahsr in som nu ke acn in pre, kut sun sie tulik mutan kohs su oasr ngun fohkfok yorol ma oru el ku in palye ma ac sikyak in pacl fahsru uh. Yohk mani el sruokya lun leum lal ah ke sripen palu lal uh.
One day as we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl with a spirit of divination, who earned a large income for her masters by fortune-telling.
17 El fahsr tokosr ac Paul, ac wowoyak, “Mwet inge elos mwet kulansap lun God Fulatlana! Elos ac fahkak nu suwos lah kowos ac moliyukla fuka!”
This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation!”
18 El oru ouinge ke len na pus, nwe ke na Paul el semutengyak sel, ac tapulla fahk nu sin ngun fohkfok sac, “Ke inen Jesus Christ nga sapkin nu sum, illa lukel!” Ngun sac som lukel in pacl sacna.
She continued this for many days. Eventually Paul grew so aggravated that he turned and said to the spirit, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!” And the spirit left her at that very moment.
19 Ke leum lun mutan sac elos akilenak lah ac wanginla inkanek in orek mani lalos sel, elos sruokilya Paul ac Silas, ac amakunutalla nu ke nien toeni in siti uh, in nununkeyuk eltal ye mutun mwet fulat.
When the girl’s owners saw that their hope of making money was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them before the authorities in the marketplace.
20 Elos usalosme nu ye mutun mwet leum lun Rome ac fahk, “Mwet inge elos mwet Jew, ac elos orek lokoalok in siti sesr uh.
They brought them to the magistrates and said, “These men are Jews and are throwing our city into turmoil
21 Elos luti ke kutu ouiya ma kisrung ma sap lasr uh. Kut mwet Rome, ac kut tia ku in eis kain facsin ma elos luti inge ac moulkin.”
by promoting customs that are unlawful for us Romans to adopt or practice.”
22 Na un mwet uh welulosyak lainul Paul ac Silas. Na mwet leum Rome uh seya nuknuk lal Paul ac Silas, ac sap in sringsring eltal.
The crowd joined in the attack against Paul and Silas, and the magistrates ordered that they be stripped and beaten with rods.
23 Tukun sringsring upa eltal, na sisiyang eltal nu in presin, ac fwackyang nu sin mwet liyaung presin uh in lakiya ku, eltal in tia kaingla.
And after striking them with many blows, they threw them into prison and ordered the jailer to guard them securely.
24 Ke mwet liyaung presin uh lohng ma sap nu sel uh, na el siseltalang nu infukil se oeloac uh, ac kapriya nialtal ke sak in kapir lulap.
On receiving this order, he placed them in the inner cell and fastened their feet in the stocks.
25 Ke infulwen fong uh, Paul ac Silas pre ac on ke on in alu nu sin God, ac mwet kapir saya uh lohng ke eltal on uh.
About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.
26 Tia paht na kusrusr na upa se sikyak, su osrokak pac pwelung ke presin uh. Srungul nukewa ikakla, ac sein ma kapri mwet kaul uh putatla lukelos nukewa.
Suddenly a strong earthquake shook the foundations of the prison. At once all the doors flew open and everyone’s chains came loose.
27 Mwet liyaung presin el ngutalik, ac ke el liye lah srungul ke presin uh ikakla, el nunku mu mwet kapir uh kaingla. Na el faesak cutlass natul ac oru elan sifacna unilya.
When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, presuming that the prisoners had escaped.
28 Ac Paul el liksrenina wola ac fahk, “Nimet sifacna unikomi! Kut pa na inge.”
But Paul called out in a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself! We are all here!”
29 Mwet liyaung presin el sap in utuku sie lam, na el yuyang nu luin presin, ac el arulana rarrar ke el putati sisken nial Paul ac Silas.
Calling for lights, the jailer rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas.
30 Na el pwanultalla nu lik uh ac siyuk seltal, “Leum luo, mea nga ac oru tuh nga in moliyukla?”
Then he brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31 Eltal topuk ac fahk nu sel, “Lulalfongi in Leum Jesus, na kom fah moul — kom ac mwet in lohm sum.”
They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, you and your household.”
32 Na eltal fahkak kas lun Leum nu sel ac nu sin mwet nukewa in lohm sel.
Then Paul and Silas spoke the word of the Lord to him and to everyone in his house.
33 Ke ao sacna in fong sac, mwet liyaung presin el usaltalla ac ohlla kinet kacltal. Na el ac mwet nukewa in lohm sel baptaisla in pacl sacna.
At that hour of the night, the jailer took them and washed their wounds. And without delay, he and all his household were baptized.
34 Na el usalak Paul ac Silas nu in lohm sel ah, ac kitaltal mwe mongo. El ac sou lal uh sessesla ke engan mweyen inge elos lulalfongi ke God.
Then he brought them into his home and set a meal before them. So he and all his household rejoiced that they had come to believe in God.
35 In lotu tok ah, leum lun mwet Rome uh supwala kutu policeman in fahk nu sin mwet liyaung presin uh, “Tulala mwet luo ingan eltal in som.”
When daylight came, the magistrates sent their officers with the order: “Release those men.”
36 Ouinge mwet liyaung presin el fahk nu sel Paul, “Mwet leum uh sapma in tuh ikakla kom ac Silas. Komtal ku in som ac fahsr in misla.”
The jailer informed Paul: “The magistrates have sent orders to release you. Now you may go on your way in peace.”
37 Tusruk Paul el fahk nu sin policeman uh, “Wangin ma koneyukyak mu oasr mwatasr kac, a elos uni kut ye mutun mwet uh — ac kut mwet Rome! Na elos siskutyang nu in presin, ac inge elos ke supwekutla in lukma. Tia ku in ouingan! Enenu mwet leum lun Rome ingan in tuku ac sifacna ikuskutla.”
But Paul said to the officers, “They beat us publicly without a trial and threw us into prison, even though we are Roman citizens. And now do they want to send us away secretly? Absolutely not! Let them come themselves and escort us out!”
38 Policeman inge som ac fahkak kas laltal inge nu sin leum lun acn Rome uh; ac ke elos lohngak lah Paul ac Silas mwet Rome, elos arulana sangeng.
So the officers relayed this message to the magistrates, who were alarmed to hear that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens.
39 Ouinge elos som ac taltal koluk nu seltal; ac ikasultalla liki presin, ac fahk eltal in som liki siti uh.
They came to appease them and led them out, requesting that they leave the city.
40 Paul ac Silas som liki presin, ac som nu lohm sel Lydia. Eltal osun nu sin mwet lulalfongi uh we, ac sang kas in akku nu selos, na eltal som.
After Paul and Silas came out of the prison, they went to Lydia’s house to see the brothers and encourage them. Then they left the city.
