Nyingnam 16
1 Paul Vngtoku Darbe okv Listra lo, ogolo kristan amin Timoti vnamgo doopvdw. Ninyigv anv ka kristan go, Jius gvgo, vbvritola ninyigv abuv Grik go.
And he came to the city Derbe, and to Lystra. And there was a certain disciple there, whose name was Timothy, the son of a believing Jewess, but his father was a Gentile.
2 Listra okv Ikonium lokv mvngjwngnv mvnwng ngv Timotinyi alv nvgo vla japnya toku.
And all the disciples of Lystra and Iconium gave good testimony of him.
3 Paul ninyigv lvkobv Timotinyi vnggv nwngto, vkvlvgabv hv ninyia ayakmvuto. Vkvlvgabv hv ritoku ho mooku gv doonv Jius mvnwng ngv Timoti gv abuv Grik vkv vla chintoku.
Him Paul was disposed to take with him: and he took him, and circumcised him, because of the Jews that were in that region; for they all knew that his father was a Gentile.
4 Bunu banggua vngpikla vngrilo, Jerusalem gv Apostol vdwa okv nyigagatv vdwgv pvbv mimpv nama tvvdu ridubv, bunu mvngjwngnv vdwlo japying jito okv ho minam am bunua ridubv mintoku.
And as they went among the cities, they preached and taught them, that they should observe those injunctions which the legates and Elders at Jerusalem had written.
5 Vkvlvgabv Pwknvyarnvnaam lo gwlwk alvbv mvngjwng toku okv aludwkibv twngtv yaya toku.
And so were the churches established in the faith, and were increased in number daily.
6 Bunu vngraptoku Prigia okv Galatia gv mooku lo ogulvgavbolo Darwknv Dowv bunua Asia mooku lo doina bunua mimu matoku.
And they travelled through the regions of Phrygia and Galatia; and the Holy Spirit forbid them to speak the word of God in Asia.
7 Bunu vdwlo Maisia gv launglo vngchi pvkudw, bunu gwngkw nyato Bitinya mooku lo vngdubv, vbvritola Jisu gv Dowv bunua vngmumato.
And when they came into the region of Mysia, they were disposed to go from there into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus permitted them not.
8 Vbvrikunamv bunu Maisia takbv vngtoku okv Troas lo vnglwk toku.
And when they departed from Mysia, they came down to the region of Troas.
9 Ho ayu Paul nyikrwgo kaato ninyia Mesedonia ngv dakto la okv ninyia kodwkrwk la kodubv kaato, “Mesedonia lo aala okv ngonua ringla bvkv vla!”
And in a vision of the night, there appeared unto Paul, a man of Macedonia, who stood and besought him, saying: Come to Macedonia and help us.
10 Paul so nyikrwa kaanam gola, ngonu mvngrap toku Mesedonia bv vngdu kubv, ogulvgavbolo ngonu Mvngtoku Pwknvyarnv ngonua goklin pvkunv alvnv yunying nga Mesedonia gv nyi vdwa minji dokubv.
And when Paul had seen this vision, immediately we were desirous to depart for Macedonia; because we inferred, that our Lord called us to preach to them.
11 Ngonu Troas lokv svpw gvngv vnglin lakula okv sidakala bv vngdavngra la Samotras lo vngpikla, okv logo nvnga Neapolis lo vngchito.
And we sailed from Troas, and came direct to Samothrace; and from there, on the following day, we came to the city Neapolis.
12 Ngonu ho mooku gvngv Pilippi lo aalwk toku, ho pamtv vv Mesedonia gv mvtumvke distrik akobv rito; so si ka Roman nyi vdwgv doolwkku bvka ritoku. Ngonu hoka alu meegoka doa pvkunv.
And from there to Philippi, which is the chief city of Macedonia, and is a colony. And we remained in that city certain days.
13 Doonu alu lo ngonu Jius vdwgv kumdubv dookum kongv hoka dodubv vla mvnggv rila, pamtv gvngv svko takbv linto. Ho anvnyimv vdwa ngonu dootung tokula okv minrap toku.
And on the sabbath day, we went without the gate of the city to the side of a river, because a house of prayer was seen there. And when we were seated, we conversed with the women who there assembled.
14 Ngonu gvlo tvvnv akonv Laidia Taitira lokv, ho vv yalwng yajinv iji pioknv angv. Nyimv angv Pwknvyarnvnyi kumnv go, okv Ahtu ninyigv tuktum mvngnv nvnvnga mvkoto Paul gv ogugo minpvdw alvbv tvvria dubv.
And a certain woman who feared God, a seller of purple, whose name was Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, was there. Her heart our Lord opened, and she hearkened to what Paul spake.
15 Kochingbv ninyia okv ninyigv naam lo doonv vdwv baptisma naatoku, ninyi ngonua harlwkto, “Aala okv ngoogv naam lo doolaka nonuno nga jvjvbv Ahtu gv mvngjwng bogobv mvngpvlo.” Okv ninyi ngonua gumya yala vnggv toku.
And she was baptized, and her household. And she entreated us, saying: If ye are really persuaded that I have believed in our Lord, come and take lodging in my house. And she urged us much.
16 Alu golo ngonu mvnwng ngv kumku mookulo vngtoku; ngonu mvnwng ngv nyijar paknv go vngrwk sito hvkv gvlo darwkmanv dowv doonvgo ho aajinv singdung nga mincho nyunvgo. Ninyigv atu gvbv hv achialv bv morko nga paanv go alvbv aainvgv lvga mincho jinam lokv.
And it occurred that, as we were going to the house of prayer, a certain maid met us, who had a spirit of divination, and who procured for her lords great gain by the divination which she performed.
17 Hv Paul okv ngonua vngming gvtoku, gokto “So nyi vdwsi Kairungnv Pwknvyarnv gv pakbu go! Bunu nonua dupwng jidu oguaingbv nonu singnya svngvdw!”
And she followed after Paul and us, and cried, saying: These men are the servants of the Most High God, and they announce to you the way of life.
18 Ninyia svbv rila alu meego ritoku, Anyungnga Paul achialvbv mvngdwk toku ho ninyi hinkur hirwkla okv dowa mintoku, “Ngo Jisu Kristo gv amin bv nyimv sokv alvmanv dowv liro toku vla orto jidunv!” dowv linda toku vbv ho minda rilo.
And this she did many days. And Paul was indignant; and he said to that spirit, I command thee, in the name of Jesus Messiah, that thou come out of her. And it came out the same hour.
19 Vdwlo ninyigv atu gv morko nanv nvngv nyeepv kudw bunu mvngdwk toku, bunu Paul okv Silasnyi gakbwng toku okv bunu svvla ikula rigvdoogvnv nyi vnggiachaagia lo svvlwk nyatoku.
And when her lords saw that the prospect of their gain from her was gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragging them along brought them to the market-place,
20 Bunu bunua Roman nyigam vdwlo boolwk chotola okv mintoku, “So nyi vdwsi Jius vdwgo okv bunu mvnwng ngv ngoogv pamtv so ridwkriku nyadu.
and set them before the prefects and chiefs of the city, and said: These men disturb our city; for they are Jews,
21 Bunu akusunv ridungdodung go tamsar la ngonugv pvbv nga rinyingrirudo, ngonu Roman pamtv lokv, okv ngonu mvnggia mare so ridungdoodung sum vmalo bunugv rinama.”
and they preach to us customs, which it is not lawful for us to receive and to practise, because we are Romans.
22 Okv nyipamv lvkin gubv Paul okv Silasnyi naatungto. Vbvrikunamv nyigam vdwv Paul okv Silas gv vji nga putakpuyak tokula okv bunua mvdu ridubv orto nga jitoku.
And a great company was collected against them. Then the prefects rent their garments, and commanded to scourge them.
23 Koching nga achialv bv dwngto la, bunu vdwv buniya patwk arwng lo tumlwk toku, okv patwk rigv nvngv bunua alvbv itum pvvto vla orto nga jito.
And when they had scourged them much, they cast them into the prison, and commanded the keeper of the prison to keep them with care.
24 Oogv orto nga tvvnam gola, patwk rigvnvgv bunua chenyung lo tunglwk to okv bunugv lvpa nga lvpia lwkpium sitola tumpvto.
And he, having received this command, carried and immured them in the inner part of the prison, and confined their feet in the stocks.
25 Yupra lvpa nga Paul okv Silas bunyiv Pwknvyarnvnyi kumla okv mimin mintoku, okv kvvbi patwk doonv mvnwng ngv bunya tvla dootoku.
And at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and glorifying God: and the prisoners heard them.
26 Dvminmabv hoka kairungnv mobi go hwkto, hogv patwk doogingnvnv vka hvkdin rvpwngto. Vbvrinamv agi mvnwng ngv kokko nyatoku, okv patwk lo doonv mvnwng ngv jaako ngv doksok toku.
And suddenly there was a great shaking, and the foundations of the prison were moved; and at once all the doors opened, and the bands of all were loosed.
27 Patwk am kaarianv angv godung toku, okv vdwlo hv patwk gv age ngv kokda namnga kaapa tokula, ho ninyi patwk lo doonv vdwv toosi pvvkuji mvngtoku; vkvlvgabv hv atubongv rioksv nga svvlin laku okv atubongv peeki sitv toku.
And when the keeper of the prison awoke, and saw that the doors of the prison were open, he took a sword and sought to kill himself; because he supposed the prisoners had escaped.
28 Vbvritola Paul ho lokv gvngv ninyigv gaam bv gokbub lotoku, “No atubongv mvki suma bvka! Ngonu mvnwng ngv si dopvnv!”
But Paul called to him, in a loud voice, and said: Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.
29 Patwk am rigv nvngv mvru bvngla ikula, arwngbv chaplwk toku, okv jinjin rumrum laku Paul okv Silas gv lvpa lvkwnglo aalwk toku.
And he lighted for himself a lamp, and sprang and came in, trembling, and fell at the feet of Paul and Silas.
30 Vbvrikunamv hv bunua agumbv linggv toku okv tvuto, “Tamsarbo vdw, ngo oguaingbv rila ringdubv?”
And he brought them out, and said to them: My lords, what must I do, that I may have life?
31 Bunu mvrwkto, “Ahtu Jisunyi mvngjwng laka, okv nonua ringya tvvrikunv—nam okv noogv ogu nyi haka.”
And they said to him: Believe on the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, and thou wilt have life, thou and thy house.
32 Vbvrikunamv bunu Ahtu gv gaam nga japji toku okv ninyigv naam lo doonv kvvbi vdwaka.
And they spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all the members of his house.
33 Hogv ayulo patwk kaaria nvngv bunua vnggv toku okv bunugv ungv nga harkak toku; okv hv okv ninyigv ogu nyi mvnwng ngv lvkin gubv baptisma naatoku.
And the same hour of the night, he took and washed them from their stripes; and he was baptized immediately, he and all the members of his house.
34 Vbvrikunamv hv Paul okv Silasnyi naambv chaagv toku okv bunua dvnam go meego jitola dvmu tvku. Hv okv ninyigv ogumvnwng ngv achialv bv himpu toku, vkvlvgabv bunu Pwknvyarnvnyi vjv mvngjwng nyatoku.
And he took them and brought them into his house, and set a table for them; and he rejoiced in the faith of God, he and all the members of his house.
35 Aru gunv nga Roman rigvnv vdwv polis nyigam vdwa orto nga jilinla vngmuto, “Hogv nyi vdwa vngmu laku kv vla.”
And when it was morning, the prefects sent rod-bearers to say to the superior of the prison: Let those men loose.
36 Vkvlvgabv patwk kaarianv Paulnyi minto, “Nyigam vdwv nam okv Silasnyi orto go jilwkpv topu dukubv. Vbvribolo, nonu vngla riku, vngnyi kuka okv nyanyak alvbvku.”
And when the superior of the prison heard it, he went in, and said the same thing to Paul; namely, that the prefects have sent word that ye be set free. And now, said he, Go ye out, and depart in peace.
37 Vbvritola Paul polis nyigam vdwa mintoku, “Ngonu mvnwng lo ogu rimur goka kaapama, bunu ngonu mvnwng nga nyi gv apam lo mvritmvkato—okv ngonu mvnwng vka Roman nyi to! Vbvrinamv bunu ngonu mvnwng nga patwk arwnglo tumlwkto. Okv vjv ngonua chinpa madubv vngmu kuso mvngduku. Vmabv! Roman nyigam vdwv atubongv soka aasu la okv ngonua naalin motoka.”
But Paul said to him: They have scourged us, unoffending men, and Romans, before all the world, and have cast us into prison; and now, do they secretly let us out? No, surely: but let them come themselves and bring us out.
38 Polis nyigam vdwv mirwk toku soogv gaam am Roman nyigam vdwlo minpa toku; okv vdwlo bunu Paul okv Silasnyi Roman nyi go vla tvvpa kunamv, bunu mvnwng ngv busu nyatoku.
And the rod-bearers went and told to the prefects the words which were told to them: and when they heard that they were Romans, they were afraid,
39 Vkvlvgabv bunu aalaku okv bunua minggu lwktoku; Vbvrikunamv bunu patwk gvngv bunua linggv toku okv bunua pamtv nga kayu tokukv vla tvvkato.
and came to them, and entreated of them that they would come out, and that they would leave the city.
40 Paul okv Silas patwk gvngv linlaku okv Laidia gv naam bv aatoku. Bunu hoka mvngjwngnv vdwa kaarwk sito kula, okv bunua gaam mintvmiru pikula okv vngtoku.
And when they came out from the prison, they entered the house of Lydia; and there they saw the brethren, and comforted them, and departed.
