Wiawia 21
1 KADEKADEO kit lao maselwei sang murin at kamurimuri ong irail se tangatang inen wong Kus, a manda lel ong Rodus, a sang wasa o se tangalang Patara.
After we had said goodbye to them, we sailed directly to Cos, and the next day on to Rhodes. From there we went to Patara
2 Kit lao diaradar sop pot, me pan kola Pönisien, se ap keredang poa maselwei.
where we found a ship going to Phoenicia. We went on board and set sail.
3 Kit lao kilanger Sipern, se dauli ni pali maun, tangatang kolang Sirien ap supi ong Tirus, pwe i wasa audepan sop o pan pwilidi ia.
We passed within sight of Cyprus on the left, and continued on to Syria where we landed at Tyre, where the ship's cargo was to be unloaded.
4 Se lao diaradar tounpadak kan, kit ap mimieta wasa o ran isu. Irail ap masanki Ngen, Paulus ender kodalang Ierusalem.
We found the believers and stayed there for a week. Through the Holy Spirit the believers told Paul not to go to Jerusalem.
5 Kadekadeo kit lao kaimwisokila ran oko, se ap masel kokola. Irail karos me likid kit lel likin kanim, li o seri kan pil iang; kit ap kelepuki ni oror, o kapakap.
When the time was up, we left and went back to the ship to continue our journey. All the believers, and wives and children, accompanied us as we left the city. We kneeled down on the beach and prayed, and said our goodbyes.
6 Kit lao kamurimur pena, se ap kereda pon sop o, a irail purelang deu’rail.
Then we boarded the ship, and they went back home.
7 Kit tangatang kodo sang Tirus ap ko dong Ptolomais; kit ap ranamaui saulang kan o kairu re’rail ran eu.
Our voyage from Tyre ended at Ptolemais where we greeted the believers and stayed with them for a day.
8 A mandan ran o se maseler, ap lel ong Säsarea, kit ap pedelong ong nan im en saunpadak Pilipus, me kisan isimen oko, o mimieta re a.
The next day we left and went to Caesarea. We stayed at the house of Philip the evangelist (one of the Seven).
9 A men et na seripein makelekel pamen mia, me kin deideikop.
Philip had four unmarried daughters who prophesied.
10 A ni at kaukauson wasa o ran toto, saukop amen ap kodido sang Iudäa, me ad a Akapus.
After we'd stayed there for several days, a prophet called Agabus arrived from Judea.
11 A lao pwara dong kit, ap ale sapwilim en Paulus pirapir pira pena pein pa a o nä a kan, katitiki: Iet me Ngen saraui kotin masani: Iet duen men Sus oko, me mi Ierusalem, pan saliedi ol o, me a pirapir wet, o pangalang i nan pa en men liki kan.
Approaching us, he took Paul's belt, and bound his own hands and feet. Then he said, “The Holy Spirit says, ‘This is how the Jews in Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt, and will hand him over to the foreigners.’”
12 Kit lao rongada mepukat, kit o pil irail karos toun wasa o ap poekipoeki a ender kotidalang Ierusalem.
When we heard this, we and the believers there pleaded with Paul not to go to Jerusalem.
13 A Paulus kotin sapeng: Da me komail sangesangki o kawekila nan mongiong i? Pwe kaidin salidi eta, me i kak ong, pwe pil mela nan Ierusalem pweki mar en Kaun Iesus.
However, Paul answered, “What are you doing, crying and breaking my heart? I'm ready not only to be bound in Jerusalem, but to die in Jerusalem for the sake of the Lord Jesus.”
14 A lao sota duki ong, kit ap nenenla indada: Kupur en Kaun o en pwaida.
Since he couldn't be persuaded otherwise we gave up, and said, “May the Lord's will be done.”
15 Murin ran pukat se ki pena at kapwa kan o daululang Ierusalem.
After this we packed our bags and headed for Jerusalem.
16 A tounpadak en Säsarea kai pil iang kit, o re ukado Mnason men Sipern, tounpadak ma amen, me se pan kairu re a.
Some of the believers from Caesarea came with us, and they took us to the home of Mnason, where we were going to stay. He came from Cyprus and was one of the early believers.
17 Kit lao lel Ierusalem, saulang kan kasamo kit popol.
When we arrived in Jerusalem, the believers there welcomed us warmly.
18 A mandan ran o Paulus iang kit kotila ren Iakopus o saunkoa karos pokon pena wasa o.
The next day Paul went with us to see James, and all the church leaders were there.
19 A lao ranmaui irail, ap kotin kasokasoia meakan, me Kot kotin wiai ong men liki kan ki a dodok.
After greeting them, Paul went through in detail everything God had done for the foreigners through his ministry.
20 Irail lao rongadar mepukat, re ap kapingaki Kot indai ong i: Ri at, kilang men Sus me totoia me iang posonlar, o irail karos kin kasampwaleki kapung o.
When they heard what had happened they praised God and told Paul, “Brother, you can see how many thousands of Jews have come to trust in the Lord, and they all keep the Law very carefully.
21 Nan a loki ong irail duen komui, me dene komui kin kaukawewe men Sus, me dondole men liki kan, ren kasela Moses o padapadaki, re ender sirkomsais seri kan, o pil der dadaur tiak kan.
They have been told that you teach Jews living among the foreigners to ignore the Law of Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children and not to follow our customs.
22 A iaduen, pokon pan wiaui, o re pan rongada, me komui samador.
So what should we do about it? People will certainly get to hear that you've arrived here.
23 Ari, komui pan wiada met, me se pan indai ong komui: Ol pamen mi re at, me ar inau mia.
This is what we want you to do: Four men among us have taken a vow.
24 Uk irail ada o kamakelekel komui da iangaki irail, o pwain irail pwe mong arail en seisei, o karos pan kilang, me likam pot, me re ronger duen komui, o me komui pil kin kapwaiada kapung o.
Go with them and perform the purification rituals with them, paying for them to have their heads shaved. That way everyone will know there's no truth to the rumors they've heard about you, but that you yourself observe the Law in the way that you live.
25 A duen me posonlar sang ren men liki kan, se intingiedier o kusoned edar, me ren der kapwaiada mepukat. A iet eta: Ren liki sang uduk me mairong ong kot likam, o nta, o man mopelar, o nenek.
As to the foreigners who have trusted the Lord, we already wrote a letter regarding our decision that they should refrain from eating food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from any animal that is strangled, and from sexual immorality.”
26 Paulus ap kotin ukada ol oko, a manda a kamakelekelada pein i ap iang irail kotilong ong nan im en kaudok o kotin kasaledar ran en arail kamakelekel, lel mairong en amen amen wiauier.
So Paul took the men with him, and the next day went and purified himself with them. Then he went to the Temple to give notice regarding the end of the time of purification and the offering which would be made for each of them.
27 A ran isu lao koren iong nikier, men Sus en Asien ap kilanger i nan im en kaudok o, rap kamoromoroda aramas karos o saikidi i,
The seven days were almost over when some Jews from Asia saw Paul in the Temple and incited the crowd against him and seized him.
28 Weriwerada indada: Ol en Israel, komail sauasa, iet aramas o me kin kaukawewe ong karos wasa karos, ren palian Sus akan, o kapung, o wasa kis et, o a pil kalua dong nan im en kaudok men Krik kai, o kasaminela wasa saraui wet.
“Men of Israel, help!” they shouted. “This is the man who is teaching everyone everywhere to oppose our people, the Law, and the Temple. He's also brought Greeks into the Temple, defiling this holy place.”
29 Pwe mas o re kilangadar, me Tropimus men Episus iang i nan kanim o, re ap kiki ong, me Paulus kalualong ong i nan im en kaudok.
(They said this because they had seen him previously in the city with Trophimus the Ephesian and presumed that Paul had brought him into the Temple.)
30 A kanim o moromorongada kaualap o aramas akan tang pena. Re ap saikidi Paulus o waike sang i nan im en kaudok o, a wanim ko ap madang ritidi.
The whole city was shocked by this and people came running. They grabbed hold of Paul and dragged him out of the Temple. Immediately the doors were shut.
31 Irail pan kamela i, a rong ap lel ong saumas en saunpei kan, me Ierusalem moromorongda.
As they tried to kill him, news came to the Roman troop commander that the whole of Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32 I ari madang ukada saunpei o saumas akai ap tangadi wong irail. Ir lao kilang saumas o saunpei ko, re ap solar woki Paulus.
Immediately the commander took some centurions and soldiers and ran down to the mob. When the mob saw the commander and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.
33 Saumas o ap kai ong, koledi i masani, i en salikidi sal mata riapot, o idok: Is i, o da me a wiadar?
Then the commander came over and arrested Paul, and ordered him to be bound with two chains. He asked who he was, and what he had done.
34 A akai sang nan pokon o weriwer wiada eu song en lokaia a akai eu. A ni a sota kak weweki, me re moromorongki, ap masani, a en wisikelang nan im en saunpei.
Some in the mob were shouting one thing and some another. Since the commander couldn't find out the truth due to all the noise and confusion, he ordered Paul brought into the fortress.
35 A lao lel ong kandake o, saunpei ap wewa i, pweki pokon o koiden pena i.
When Paul got to the stairs, he had to be carried by the soldiers because the mob was so violent.
36 Pwe pokon o, me idauen, weriwer indada: Siken wei i!
People in the crowd that was following were shouting, “Get rid of him!”
37 A ni en Paulus a pan wisikelong ong nan im en saunpei, a ap masani ong kaun lapalap o: A sota muei ong ia, en indang komui meakot? A ap masani: Komui asa lokaia en Krik?
Just as he was about to be taken inside the fortress, Paul asked the commander, “Can I tell you something?” “Do you know Greek?” asked the commander.
38 Ari, kaidin komui ol en Äkipten, me kapeida aramas oko mon ran akai, ap kalualang sap tan ol lolap pakid?
“Aren't you the Egyptian who recently incited a rebellion and led four thousand Assassins into the desert?”
39 A Paulus masani: Ngai ol en Sus amen, men Tarsus, kanim indand en Silisia eu, i men poeki re omui, en mueid ong ia, en kapakaparok ong aramas pukat.
“I am a Jew, a citizen of Tarsus in Cilicia, an important city,” Paul replied. “Please let me talk to the people.”
40 I ari mueid ong i. Paulus ap kotida pon kandake o olol ong aramas akan. A lao molelar kaualap, Paulus ap kaparok ong irail ni ngor en Ipru masani:
The commander gave Paul permission to speak. So Paul stood on the stairs and motioned for silence. When it was quiet he spoke to them in Aramaic.
