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.
He came to Derbe and Lystra; and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess who believed, but his father was a Greek.
2 Listra okv Ikonium lokv mvngjwngnv mvnwng ngv Timotinyi alv nvgo vla japnya toku.
The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about 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.
Paul wanted to have him go out with him, and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
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.
As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
5 Vkvlvgabv Pwknvyarnvnaam lo gwlwk alvbv mvngjwng toku okv aludwkibv twngtv yaya toku.
So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
6 Bunu vngraptoku Prigia okv Galatia gv mooku lo ogulvgavbolo Darwknv Dowv bunua Asia mooku lo doina bunua mimu matoku.
When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
7 Bunu vdwlo Maisia gv launglo vngchi pvkudw, bunu gwngkw nyato Bitinya mooku lo vngdubv, vbvritola Jisu gv Dowv bunua vngmumato.
When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit didn’t allow them.
8 Vbvrikunamv bunu Maisia takbv vngtoku okv Troas lo vnglwk toku.
Passing by Mysia, they came down to 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!”
A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him and saying, “Come over into 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.
When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the Good News to them.
11 Ngonu Troas lokv svpw gvngv vnglin lakula okv sidakala bv vngdavngra la Samotras lo vngpikla, okv logo nvnga Neapolis lo vngchito.
Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to 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 a city of Macedonia, the foremost of the district, a Roman colony. We were staying some days in this city.
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.
On the Sabbath day we went outside of the city by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.
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.
A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us. The Lord opened her heart to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.
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.
When she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.” So she persuaded us.
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.
As we were going to prayer, a certain girl having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune telling.
17 Hv Paul okv ngonua vngming gvtoku, gokto “So nyi vdwsi Kairungnv Pwknvyarnv gv pakbu go! Bunu nonua dupwng jidu oguaingbv nonu singnya svngvdw!”
Following Paul and us, she cried out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us a way of salvation!”
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.
She was doing this for many days. But Paul, becoming greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” It came out that very 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.
But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.
20 Bunu bunua Roman nyigam vdwlo boolwk chotola okv mintoku, “So nyi vdwsi Jius vdwgo okv bunu mvnwng ngv ngoogv pamtv so ridwkriku nyadu.
When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men, being Jews, are agitating our city
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 advocate customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being 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.
The multitude rose up together against them and the magistrates tore their clothes from them, then commanded them to be beaten with rods.
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.
When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.
24 Oogv orto nga tvvnam gola, patwk rigvnvgv bunua chenyung lo tunglwk to okv bunugv lvpa nga lvpia lwkpium sitola tumpvto.
Having received such a command, he threw them into the inner prison and secured 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.
But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to 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.
Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were loosened.
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.
The jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that 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 cried with a loud voice, saying, “Don’t harm yourself, 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.
He called for lights, sprang in, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,
30 Vbvrikunamv hv bunua agumbv linggv toku okv tvuto, “Tamsarbo vdw, ngo oguaingbv rila ringdubv?”
brought them out, and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31 Bunu mvrwkto, “Ahtu Jisunyi mvngjwng laka, okv nonua ringya tvvrikunv—nam okv noogv ogu nyi haka.”
They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
32 Vbvrikunamv bunu Ahtu gv gaam nga japji toku okv ninyigv naam lo doonv kvvbi vdwaka.
They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in 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.
He took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.
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.
He brought them up into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly with all his household, having believed in God.
35 Aru gunv nga Roman rigvnv vdwv polis nyigam vdwa orto nga jilinla vngmuto, “Hogv nyi vdwa vngmu laku kv vla.”
But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, “Let those men go.”
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.”
The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out and go 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!

But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly without a trial, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison! Do they now release us secretly? No, most certainly, 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.
The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,
39 Vkvlvgabv bunu aalaku okv bunua minggu lwktoku; Vbvrikunamv bunu patwk gvngv bunua linggv toku okv bunua pamtv nga kayu tokukv vla tvvkato.
and they came and begged them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from 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.
They went out of the prison and entered into Lydia’s house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, then departed.
