Ded'enu' ra Dud'uin 16
1 Basa ma, Paulus se lao raꞌahuluꞌ risiꞌ kota Derbe. Basa de, ara lao risiꞌ kota Listra. Sia naa, randaa ro atahori soruꞌ esa, nara na Timotius. Ama na, atahori Yunani. Ma ina na, atahori Yahudi mana namahere neu Yesus ena. Timotius o dadꞌi Yesus atahori na ena.
Among other places Paul went to Derbe and Lystra. At the latter place they found a disciple, named Timothy, whose mother was a Jewess who had become a believer in Christ, while his father was a Greek,
2 Basa atahori mamahereꞌ sia kota Listra ma kota Ikonium, bubꞌuluꞌ Timotius atahori maloleꞌ.
and who was well spoken of by the Brethren in Lystra and Iconium.
3 Paulus nau fo Timotius tungga no se. Te atahori Yahudi sia naa, bubꞌuluꞌ Timotius ama na atahori Yunani, de ana nda sunat tungga adat Yahudi sa. Naa de, Paulus ator fo ara sunat Timotius.
Wishing to take this man with him on his journey, Paul caused him to be circumcised on account of the Jews in that neighbourhood, for they all knew that his father had been a Greek.
4 Boe ma, ara lao mia mamanaꞌ esa risiꞌ mamanaꞌ esa, de rafadꞌe neꞌetuꞌ fo Lamatuaꞌ Yesus dedenu Nara ro lasi Kristen feaꞌ ra raꞌetuꞌ mia Yerusalem.
As they traveled from town to town, they gave the Brethren the decisions which had been reached by the Apostles and Officers of the Church at Jerusalem, for them to observe.
5 No taꞌo naa, ara tao manggatee atahori mamahereꞌ ra rala nara. Tungga fai, atahori mamahereꞌ ra, boe ramaheta.
So the Churches grew stronger in the Faith, and increased in numbers from day to day.
6 Basa naa ma, Paulus se lao rakandoo. Ara risiꞌ nusa Frigia ma nusa Galatia, huu Lamatualain Dula-dale Meumare Na ai se fo afiꞌ rafadꞌe Lamatualain Dudꞌui Malolen sia nusa Asia.
They next went through the Phrygian district of Galatia, but were restrained by the Holy Spirit from delivering the Message in Roman Asia.
7 Ara losa mamanaꞌ esa natadꞌa no nusa Misia ma, rae masoꞌ sobꞌa risiꞌ nusa Bitinia. Te Yesus Dula-dale Na ai se fo afiꞌ naa reu.
When they reached the borders of Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them.
8 Basa de, ara lao seli nusa Misia, de losa kota Troas sia tasi suu na.
Passing through Mysia, they went down to Troas;
9 Tetembaꞌ naa Lamatualain natudꞌu Paulus onaꞌ meit e. Ana nita atahori sa nambariiꞌ sia tasi seriꞌ, sia nusaꞌ esa, nara na Makedonia. Atahori naa nggasi noꞌe tulu-faliꞌ nae, “Amaꞌ! Uma tulun hai dei!”
and there one night Paul saw a vision. A Macedonian was standing and appealing to him — ‘Come over to Macedonia and help us.’
10 Paulus nita taꞌo naa ma, hai miꞌetuꞌ fo mi sia Makedonia. Hai mimihere memaꞌ Lamatualain denu hai mi mifadꞌe Dala Masodꞌan neu atahori sia tasi seriꞌ. Naa de Ana ai fo afiꞌ misiꞌ mamana feaꞌ.
So, immediately after Paul had seen the vision, we looked for an opportunity to cross over to Macedonia, concluding that God had summoned us to tell the Good News to the people there.
11 Basa ma, hai sae ofaꞌ mia kota Troas, misiꞌ pulu anaꞌ esa, naran Samotrake. Mbilaꞌ neu, hai lao mikindoo misiꞌ kota esa, naran Neapolis. Basa ma, hai ondaa sia naa.
Accordingly we set sail from Troas, and ran before the wind to Samothrace, reaching Neapolis the next day.
12 Mia naa, hai lao tungga madꞌa ata misi kota monaeꞌ esa, naran Filipi. (Filipi, kota mana seliꞌ sa sia nusa Makedonia. Mana parenda Roma toꞌu koasa sia naa.) Hai leo fai hira sia naa.
From there we made our way to Philippi, which is the principal city of that part of Macedonia, and also a Roman Settlement. In that city we spent several days.
13 Nandaa no atahori Yahudi ra fai hahae ao na, hai mi sangga mamana hule-oꞌeꞌ nara. Hai mae neꞌo mamana hule-oꞌeꞌ naa, sia loe a suu na. De hai lao dea mi mia kota a, losa hambu loe esa. Sia naa, mindaa mo inaꞌ hira. De hai endoꞌ ola-olaꞌ mo se.
On the Sabbath we went outside the gate to the river-side, where we supposed there would be a Place of Prayer; and we sat down and talked to the women who were gathered there.
14 Inaꞌ naa ra, esa naran Lidia. Ana mia kota esa naran Tiatira, doo mia nusa Asia. Ana naseoꞌ teme dula maranggeoꞌ, feli na seli, fee neu atahori monaen ra. Ana manggate hule-oꞌe neu Lamatualain. Ana rena Paulus oꞌolan ma, ana simbo boe.
Among them was a woman, named Lydia, belonging to Thyatira, a dealer in purple cloth, who was accustomed to join in the worship of God. The Lord touched this woman’s heart, so that she gave attention to the Message delivered by Paul,
15 Boe ma hai sarani mama Lidia no ume isi nara. Basa ma, ana noꞌe hai nae, “Ama nggare! Mete ma hei duꞌa mae au ia, umuhere tebꞌe neu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus, na, hei ima numban sia ume ngga. Ana akaꞌ a noꞌe, de hai tungga.
and, when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us to become her guests. “Since you have shown your conviction,” she said, “that I really am a believer in the Lord, come and stay in my house.” And she insisted on our doing so.
16 Faiꞌ esa hai lao-laoꞌ misiꞌ mamana hule-oꞌeꞌ, de mindaa mo ana fetoꞌ esa mia dalaꞌ. Eni, atahori ate na. Nitu deꞌulakaꞌ tao e, de ana bisa nafadꞌe atahori ua-nale nara. Ana o bubꞌuluꞌ dedꞌeat ra huu-pata nara boe. De atahori hetar hii fee ne doiꞌ fo roꞌe mete sira ua-nale nara. Te doiꞌ naa ra, ana fetoꞌ a malangga nara hambu se, de ramasuꞌi.
One day, as we were on our way to the Place of Prayer, we were met by a girl possessed by a divining spirit, who made large profits for her masters by fortune-telling.
17 Faiꞌ naa, hai lao ma, ana fetoꞌ naa akaꞌ tungga no hai. Ana randu nae, “Atahori ia ra, Lamatualain Mana Koasa Monaeꞌ a ana dedenu nara. Ara rema rae ratudꞌu dalaꞌ taꞌo bee fo atahori bisa rasodꞌa, ma nenemboꞌit mia sala nara!”
This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, calling: “These men are servants of the most high God, and they are bringing you news of a way to Salvation.”
18 Ana fetoꞌ naa randu taꞌo naa losa fai hira. Dꞌodꞌoo ma Paulus mbera rena rarandu na. De ana heoꞌ dea na, de mete nahereꞌ e, ma parenda nae, “He! Nitu deꞌulakaꞌ! No Lamatuaꞌ Yesus Koasa Na, au parenda nggo lao hela inaꞌ ia, oras ia boe!” Paulus olaꞌ basa taꞌo naa ma, nitu a nela boe.
She had been doing this for several days, when Paul, much vexed, turned and said to the spirit within her: “In the Name of Jesus Christ I command you to leave her.” That very moment the spirit left her.
19 Ana fetoꞌ a malangga nara bubꞌuluꞌ, sira ate na koasan mopo ena ma, de ara ramanasa, huu nda hambu doiꞌ sa ena. De ara toꞌu Paulus no Silas, ma lea rendi se risiꞌ mamana naseoꞌ, sia mamana naꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat.
When her masters saw that there was no hope of further profit from her, they seized Paul and Silas, dragged them into the public square to the authorities,
20 Losa naa ma, ara nggasi rahereꞌ rae, “Atahori ia ra, rema fo tao ralulutu hita kotan. Te sira nda hita atahori tara sa. Sira atahori Yahudi mia dodꞌooꞌ rema, rae tao kaco sia ia!
and took them before the Magistrates. “These men are causing a great disturbance in our town,” they complained;
21 Ara ranori atahori rae, tungga neuꞌ a sira atoran na, afiꞌ tao afiꞌ neu mana parenda Roma ra atoran.”
“They are Jews, and they are teaching customs which it is not right for us, as Romans, to sanction or adopt.”
22 Rena taꞌo naa ma, atahori ra ramue, de reu momoko Paulus no Silas. Boe ma atahori monae mana naꞌetu dedꞌeat ra denu atahori reu sii Paulus no Silas bua nara, ma filo se.
On this the mob rose as one man against them, and the Magistrates stripped them of their clothing and ordered them to be beaten with rods.
23 Ara filo Paulus no Silas, ma tao se bui rala reu. Ara denu malangga mana naneaꞌ a fo nanea besa-bꞌesa ruꞌa se. Afiꞌ losa rela.
After beating them severely, the Magistrates put them in prison, with orders to the Governor of the Jail to keep them in safe custody.
24 De malangga a tao se risiꞌ kama esa sia bui taladꞌa na. Ma ana langge ei nara.
On receiving so strict an order, the Governor put them into the inner cell, and secured their feet in the stocks.
25 Neofaa na ma, Paulus ma Silas hule-oꞌe ma sodꞌa koa-kio Lamatualain. Atahori bui feaꞌ sia naa ra, rena sira sosodꞌa nara boe.
About midnight, while Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and while the prisoners were listening to them,
26 Aiboiꞌ ma, rae a nanggenggoꞌ seli, losa ume bui nanggonggaꞌ. Lelesu nara o soi ao nara boe. Ma atahori bui ra rante nara mbasi hendi se.
suddenly there was an earthquake of such violence that the Jail was shaken to its foundations; all the doors flew open, and all the prisoners’ chains were loosened.
27 Malangga a nggengger de fela, ma nita bui a lelesu na basa se manasoiꞌ. Ana nae neꞌo basa atahori bui ra rela ena. De ana lesu fela na, nae mbau nisa ao na.
Roused from his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, the Governor drew his sword intending to kill himself, in the belief that the prisoners had escaped.
28 Te Paulus nggasi nahereꞌ ma ai nae, “Amaꞌ! Afiꞌ mbau misa ao ma! Te basa hai feꞌe sia ia!”
But Paul called our loudly: “Do not harm yourself; we are all here.”
29 Malangga a rena haraꞌ naa ma, ana namatau nae mate de nda nitaꞌ nae tao saa saꞌ boe. Ana denu rendi fee ne obor, de bui rala neu, te ao na foti. Ana sendeꞌ lululangga na neu Paulus no Silas ei nara.
Calling for a light, the Governor rushed in, and flung himself trembling at the feet of Paul and Silas.
30 Basa ma, ana no se dea reu, de natane nae, “Ama nggare. Au ia, susa seli. Au musi tao saa, fo hambu masodꞌaꞌ?”
Then he led them out, and said: “What must I do to be saved?”
31 Paulus se rataa rae, “Dala na taꞌo ia: mumuhere Lamatuaꞌ Yesus, fo Ana fee masodꞌaꞌ neu nggo mo ume isi mara.”
“Believe in Jesus, our Lord,” they replied, “and you shall be saved, you and your household too.”
32 Paulus no Silas ola-olaꞌ ro malangga bui a ma basa ume isi nara. Ara rafadꞌe Lamatuaꞌ Yesus Dala Masodꞌa Na neu se.
Then they spoke to him of God’s Message, and to all his household as well.
33 Neofaa naa ma, malangga bui a no Paulus ma Silas de reu tao rameu bisu fo ara filo se afi sa. Basa ma, ara sarani malangga naa no ume isi nara.
And that very hour of the night he took them and washed their wounds, and he himself and every one belonging to him were baptized without delay.
34 Basa boe ma, ana no se nisiꞌ ume na fo ara raa. No ume isi nara ramahoꞌo seli, huu ramahere Lamatualain ena.
Afterwards he took them up to his house and set before them something to eat, rejoicing that he, with all his household, had come to believe in God.
35 Fefetu na ma, atahori monaen mana raꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat naa, fee haraꞌ neu malangga bui, fo mboꞌi Paulus se mia bui a.
In the morning the Magistrates sent the police with an order for the men to be discharged.
36 Rena taꞌo naa ma, malangga bui a nafadꞌe haraꞌ naa neu Paulus nae, “Ama nggare. Atahori monaen ra raꞌetuꞌ fo mboꞌi nggi. De amaꞌ se baliꞌ no masodꞌaꞌ.”
The Governor of the Jail told Paul of his instructions. “The Magistrates have sent an order for your discharge,” he said, “so you had better leave the place at once and go quietly away.”
37 Te Paulus nda simbo sa, de nafadꞌe mana nendi haraꞌ a nae, “Afiꞌ taꞌo naa! Hai ia, miꞌena hak atahori Roma. De hai moꞌe hahambu mara. Mana parenda ra musi nggero hai dedꞌea ma, tungga atoran. Matetu na, musi endoꞌ dedꞌeat, dei fo hukun atahori. Te ara nda tao taꞌo naa sa. Ara nda endoꞌ dedꞌeat sa, fo sangga sala mara saa, te ara filo hai neuꞌ ena mia atahori hetar mata nara. Nda naꞌena salaꞌ saa sa te, tao hai bui rala mii. Ia tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ nda tungga atoran mana parenda Roma sa. Te ia ma, rae mboꞌi neꞌefuniꞌ hai mia bui rala, fo atahori nda rahine hai sala saa saꞌ boe? Nda taꞌo naa saa. Denu malangga ra rema mboꞌi hai. Taꞌo naa dei fo hai nau.”
But Paul’s answer to them was: “They have flogged us in public without trial, though we are Roman citizens, and they have put us in prison, and now they are for sending us out secretly! No, indeed! Let them come and take us out themselves.”
38 Mana nendi haraꞌ a neu nafadꞌe baliꞌ Paulus oꞌola na ma, malangga ra feꞌe bubꞌuluꞌ ruꞌa se raꞌena hak sia Roma boe. De ara ramatau seli.
The police reported his words to the Magistrates, who, on hearing that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens, were alarmed,
39 Basa ma, ara bui rala reu, rataa sala nara ma roꞌe maaf mbali Paulus no Silas. Dei de, mboꞌi ruꞌa se mia bui a ma roꞌe se lao hela kota naa.
and went to the prison, and did their best to conciliate them. Then they took them out, and begged them to leave the city.
40 Paulus se lao hela bui a ma, ara risiꞌ mama Lidia ume na. Sia naa, ara raꞌabꞌue ro atahori mamahereꞌ ra. Ranori se ma tao manggatee rala nara seluꞌ. Dei de, ara lao hela kota naa.
When Paul and Silas left the prison, they went to Lydia’s house, and, after they had seen the Brethren, and encouraged them, they left the place.
