Orekma 21
1 Kut wilkas nu selos ac oayak. Ke kut kal suwosla liki acn we kut sun acn Cos, ac len tok ah kut oai Rhodes, ac sifil kalla nu Patara.
When we had departed from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
2 Ke kut sun acn we, kut konauk lah oasr oak soko ac som nwe Phoenicia, na kut sroang wela.
Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.
3 Kut kal nwe ke kut liyauk acn Cyprus, na kut ut layen nu eir in Cyprus ac kalla nu Syria. Kut srola Tyre, yen ma koanon oak uh ah titila we.
When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre, for the ship was there to unload her cargo.
4 Kut konauk kutu mwet lulalfongi in acn we, ac muta yorolos ke wik se. Ke ku lun Ngun Mutal elos fahkang nu sel Paul elan tia som nu Jerusalem.
Having found disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
5 Na ke safla wik sac, kut mukuiyak in som. Elos nukewa, wi mutan kialos ac tulik natulos, wi kut som liki siti uh nu wekof ah, ac kut nukewa sikukmutunteiyak ac pre.
When those days were over, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. Kneeling down on the beach, we prayed.
6 Kut wilkas nu sin sie sin sie, na kut sroak nu fin oak uh, ac elos folokla nu yen selos.
After saying goodbye to each other, we went on board the ship, and they returned home again.
7 Ke kut kalot liki acn Tyre kut sun acn Ptolemais, ac kut paing mwet lulalfongi in acn we, ac muta yorolos len se.
When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers and stayed with them one day.
8 In len tok ah kut som ac sun acn Caesarea, ac kut tuh muta in lohm sel Philip, mwet fahkak ke Pweng Wo, su sie sin mwet itkosr ma tuh solla mwet kasru in Jerusalem.
On the next day, we who were Paul’s companions departed and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
9 Oasr mutan fusr lolap akosr natul, su wi pac fahkak kas lun God.
Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
10 Kut muta we ke kutu len, na mwet palu se pangpang Agabus el tuku Judea me.
As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
11 El tuku nu yorosr, eisla ma losyen infulwal Paul ac sifacna sang kapriya paol ac nial kac. Na el fahk, “Pa inge ma Ngun Mutal fahk: Mwet Jew in acn Jerusalem elos ac fah kapriya mwet se la mwe lohl se inge uh in lumah se inge, na elos ac fah eisalang nu inpoun mwet pegan.”
Coming to us and taking Paul’s belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, “The Holy Spirit says: ‘So the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”
12 Ke kut lohng ma inge, kut ac mwet wiasr in acn sac, tukeni kwafe na sel Paul elan tia som nu Jerusalem.
When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 A el topuk ac fahk, “Mea kowos oru an ku kowos tung ouingan, ac aktoasrye insiuk? Nga akola tari in kapiri in acn Jerusalem, ac nga akola pac in misa we ke sripen Leum Jesus.”
Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
14 Kut tia ku in furokla nunak lal ah, pwanang kut tari fuhleak ac fahk, “Kut pre tuh ma lungse lun Leum in orek.”
When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The Lord’s will be done.”
15 Tukun kut muta we ke kutu pacl, kut apweni ma lasr ac som nu Jerusalem.
After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.
16 Kutu sin mwet lulalfongi ma tuku Caesarea me elos wi kut pac som, ac pwenkutla nu ke lohm sin mwet se ma kut ac muta yoro ah — inel pa Mnason, sie mwet Cyprus, su nuna sie mwet lulalfongi emeet me.
Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.
17 Ke kut sun acn Jerusalem, mwet lulalfongi in acn we arulana engan in paing kut.
When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
18 Ke len tok ah Paul el wi kut som in osun yorol James; ac mwet kol nukewa lun church muta we.
The day following, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.
19 Paul el paingulos, na el fahkak ke ma nukewa ma God El kasrel in oru ke pacl el orekma inmasrlon mwet pegan uh.
When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20 Tukun elos lohng ma el fahk, elos nukewa kaksakin God. Na elos fahk, “Paul, mwet lili lasr, kom ku in liye lah tausin puspis sin mwet Jew elos wela lulalfongi, ac elos arulana moniyuk in akos Ma Sap uh.
They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law.
21 Fwackyang tari nu selos lah kom luti mwet Jew nukewa su muta in facl sin mwet pegan uh elos in sisla Ma Sap lal Moses, ac kom fahk tuh elos in tia kosrala tulik natulos, ku fahsr tukun ouiya lun mwet Jew uh.
They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children and not to walk after the customs.
22 Kalem lah elos lohng tari lah kom sun acn inge. Na mea ac orek uh?
What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come.
23 Pa inge ma kut lungse kom in oru uh. Oasr mwet akosr inmasrlosr su orala wulela ku nu sin God.
Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
24 Welulos som ac tukeni wi alu in aknasnas, ac sang molin kalkul lalos, na elos fah ku in mangsrasrala. Kom fin oru ouinge, na mwet nukewa ac fah etu lah tiana pwaye kas elos lohng mu kom fahk uh, ac lah kom moul fal nu ke Ma Sap lal Moses uh.
Take them and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk keeping the law.
25 A funu mwet pegan ma wela lulalfongi uh, kut supwala leta se nu selos ac fahk lah kut wotela mu elos in tia kang kutena mwe mongo ma kisala nu sin ma sruloala, ku kutena srah, ku kosro ma loksakiyuki, ac elos in liyalosyang liki ouiya fohkfok lun mwet kosro.”
But concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written our decision that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality.”
26 Na Paul el eis mwet akosr inge, ac ke len tok ah el orala alu in aknasnas yorolos. Na el som nu in Tempul ac akkalemye len lula in safla pacl in aknasnas uh, na fah pacl in orek kisa ke kais sie selos.
Then Paul took the men, and the next day purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
27 Tusruktu ke fahsr in safla len in aknasnas itkosr ah, na kutu mwet Jew su tuku Asia me elos liyalak Paul in Tempul uh. Elos purakak insien mwet puspis, ac sruokilya Paul.
When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,
28 Na elos wowoyak ac fahk, “Mwet Israel, kasrekut! Pa inge mwet se forfor yen nukewa ac luti nu sin mwet nukewa in lain mwet Israel, ac lain Ma Sap lal Moses, ac lain Tempul se inge. Ac inge el use pac mwet pegan nu in Tempul uh ac akfohkfokyela acn mutal se inge!” (
crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place!”
29 Elos fahk ma inge mweyen elos tuh liyalak Trophimus, sie mwet Ephesus ke el welul Paul in siti uh, ac elos nunku mu Paul el usalak nu in Tempul.)
For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
30 Fohs lulap sikyak in siti sac nufon, ac mwet uh kasreni nu sie, sruokilya Paul ac amakunulla liki Tempul uh. Na elos sulaklak na kaliya srungul ke Tempul.
All the city was moved and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.
31 Ke un mwet uh srike in unilya Paul, supweyukla kas nu sin leum lun mwet mweun Rome uh, fahk mu acn Jerusalem nufon arulana fohsak.
As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32 In pacl sacna leum sac el eis kutu mwet mweun wi mwet kol lalos, ac sulaklak na oatui nu yen lokoalok uh orek we. Ke mwet uh liyal wi mwet mweun uh, elos tila onel Paul.
Immediately he took soldiers and centurions and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.
33 Leum sac som nu yorol Paul, sruokilya ac sap kapiri el ke sein lukwa. Na el siyuk, “Su mwet se inge, ac mea el orala uh?”
Then the commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.
34 Kutu mwet uh wowoyak fahk sie ma, ac kutu fahk kutepacna ma. Yokla fohs uh, oru leum sac tia ku in konauk na pwaye lah mea sikyak uh. Na el sap mwet lal uh in usalak Paul nu ke nien muta ku lun mwet mweun.
Some shouted one thing and some another, among the crowd. When he could not find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
35 Elos usal nwe sun nien fan nu inkul selos uh, na mwet mweun uh sraklalak usal, mweyen arulana upa kasrkusrak lun mwet uh.
When he came to the stairs, he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
36 Elos nukewa tuku tokol wowoyak ac fahk, “Unilya!”
for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, “Away with him!”
37 Ke mwet mweun uh akola in usalak Paul nu inkul uh, na Paul el kasla nu sin leum sac ac fahk, “Nga ku in fahk ma se nu sum?” Leum sac siyuk, “Kom etu kas Greek?
As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, “May I speak to you?” He said, “Do you know Greek?
38 Fin angan, kalem lah tia kom pa mwet Egypt se ma tuh oru fohs se nwe pwanla tausin akos mwet akmas nu yen mwesis ah!”
Are not you then the Egyptian who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?”
39 Na Paul el fahk, “Nga mwet Jew se. Nga isusla Tarsus, sie siti pwengpeng in acn Cilicia. Nunak munas, lela ngan kaskas nu sin mwet uh.”
But Paul said, “I am a Jew from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak to the people.”
40 Leum sac fuhlela elan kaskas, na Paul el tu fin nien fan uh, ac kolak paol mwet uh in misla. Ke elos misla, Paul el kaskas nu selos in kas Aramaic.
When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,
