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 Ngonu hoka svpw go Poenesia bv vngjinvgo paatoku, vkvlvgabv ngonu hoka aalwk la vngdavngra toku.
Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.

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.

Having found disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit that he should not go up to Jerusalem.

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 Vbvrikunamv ngonu asakv alv bvkv vmi sopi kula, okv ngonu svpwlo aatoku okv bunu naam bv vngkur nyatoku.
After saying goodbye to each other, we went on board the ship, and they returned home again.

When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers and stayed with them one day.
8 Alu gonv nga ngonu vnglaku okv Kaisaria lo vngchi kunam. Hoka ngonu ebenjelist Pilips gv naam lo dooto, hv Jerusalem lo nyi kanwgo riduryanv gubv darlin kunam lokv akonv.
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 Ninyi gvlo nyibu vngmadvnv Pwknvyarnv gv doina japgo yanv umvnyijar api go dooto.
Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
10 Ngonu hoka alu mvngchikgo dookunamv Agabas vnam nyijwk go Judia lokv aalwk toku.
As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.

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 Vdwlo ngonu sum tvvpanamgola, hoka ngonu la kvvbi vdwv Paulnyi Jerusalem bv vngma bvkv vla kumla minto.
When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Vbvritola hv mirwksito, “Nonu ogubv svbv kapnyarinya la ngoogv haapok ka mvngdwk modunv? Ngo Jerusalem mvngchik lo leemwng koodubv mvngma vbvritola hoka ngo Ahtu Jisu gv lvgabv sidubv mvngta dunv.”
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 Ngonu ninyia mintap nyumato, vkvlvgabv ngonu topu tokula, “Ahtu gv mvngnam bv rila kuka.”
When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The Lord’s will be done.”
15 Kochingso hoka meego ripikula, ngonu atugv yikungyira nga mvgemvrap tokula okv Jerusalem bv vngtoku.
After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.

Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.
17 Vdwlo ngonu Jerusalem lo vngchi tokudw, mvngjwngnv nyi vdwv mvngpu nyala ngonua alvbv aamuto.
When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
18 Logo nvnga Paul Jemsnyi kaabv ngonua lvkobv vngming gvvtoku; okv gvrja nyi nyigagatv vdwv mvnwng ngv lvkobv rinya kunam.
The day following, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.
19 Paul bunu mvnwng nga alvbv kaarwk sito okv ninyigv lokv Pwknvyarnv oguaingbv Jentail vdwgv pingkolo ripvkudw um mvnwng nga bunua mimpa jitoku.
When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20 Hvkv gvlo tvvronam kochingso, bunu mvnwng ngv Pwknvyarnvnyi hartv nyatoku. Vbvrikunamv bunu minto, “Achiboru Paul, no kaakw tvka vdwnvgo hejarhejar Jius nyi vdwv mvngjwng nvbv rinya dukunv, okv bunu mvnwng ngv achialv bv Pvbv ngaka mvnggap nyadunv.
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 Bunu vbv chimpa duku no Jius nyi mvnwng nga Jentail vdwgv mooku lo rinv doonv vdwa Moses gv Pvbv nga topu dukubv tamsar duku, bunua umvuu vdwa ayakmvu kuma dvbv okv Jius vdwgv krimklu gv ridungdodung nga riming gvvku madubv minduku vla tvvpa nyapvku.
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 Bunu noogv so aalwk nama tvvpa rungriku. Vbvrikunamv ngonu ogugo risv ngvkudw? Vbvritola, ogugo rinam ngaka?
What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come.
23 Ngonu nam svbv risv go vla mvngdunv. So sika nyi api go milvminsu tvla dopvnv.
Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
24 Bunua lvkobv vngnyika okv mvdurridur kolo aapwng minggv laka okv bunugv rijo minjo nga joji tvka; vbvrikubolo bunu bunugv dwmw am mwkga sito. Vbvrila mvnwng ngv chinriku bunugv nam minam lo ogu jvjv go dokumanyi vla, vbvritola bunu nonua Moses gv Pvbv lo doobwng dvnvnyi vla chiya rikunv.
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 Vbvritola Jentail mvngjwngnv vdwa yugwngmvrwng lo lwknam dvnamtvngnam okv oyi ngaka okv oksarnam svnwngsvmin ngaka dvku madubv, okv bunua yoomur minsu madubv ngonu mimpv kunv vla bunua siti lo lvkla pau pvkunv.”
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 Vkvlvgabv Paul logo nvnga nyi vdwa vnggv laku, bunua mvdurridur kolo lvkobv rimutoku. Vbvrikunamv hv Pwknvyarnvnaam lo vngtoku okv bunu mvnwng gv lvgabv mvdurridur kunama vdw lonyi bunu akinakinv risvmvsv ngvdw um minggo jito.
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 Vbvritola vdwlo alu lokkanwv vngnya tvku namv, Asia mooku lokv Jius nyi meego Paulnyi Pwknvyarnvnaam lo kaapa toku. Bunu nyitwng nga nvngyak nvngpak la okv Paulnyi naatung toku.
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 Bunu goknyato, “Israel gv nyi vdwa!” “Ridurto! So nyi angv si mooku lo vngkarla nyi mvnwng lo Israel nyi vdwa okv Moses gv Pvbv aka okv so Pwknvyarnvnaam am miyakaya la tamsar sargonv. Okv vjak hv Jentail meegoka Pwknvyarnvnaam so aagvla darwknv naam am darwk madubv mvdu!”
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 (Bunu svbv minam si ogulvgavbolo bunu Epesus lokv Tropimusnyi Paul gv lvkobv pamtv lo ridubv kaato, okv bunu mvngtoku Paulnyi Pwknvyarnvnaam lo aagv pvnv vla.)
For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
30 Tvvbwktvlo kumanam lokv pamtv mvnwng lo dupwng toku, okv nyi vdwv lvkin gobv jokbam nyala, Paulnyi naatungto, okv ninyia Pwknvyarnvnaam agum bv tunglin nyato. Okv Pwknvyarnvnaam gv agi vdwa vjakpigobv koktum nyatoku.
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 Nyitwng ngv Paulnyi mvki dubv gwngto, vbvrikunamv Roman sipai kamandar lo yunying ngv aatoku Jerusalem mvnwng lo yalungyachung bv ridu vla.
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 Vjakpigobv kamandar angv nyigam meego okv sipai twnggo naalaila nyitwng apam lo juklu toku. Vdwlo nyitwng ngv ninyia sipai atwng am kaapa tokudw, bunu Paulnyi jvngkumato.
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 Kamandar angv Paul dokubv aato, okv ninyia naatung toku, okv ninyia jaako sonyi go leedu kubv milin toku. Vbvrikunamv hv tvvkato, “So nyi si yvvla, okv ninyi ogugo ripvla?”
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 Nyitwng apam lokv meegonv ogugo goknyato, kvvbi vdwv aku subv goknyato. Hoka ho vkvnv abwkalo kuma bv rikunamv Kamandar angv kaabwk nyumato ogugo ripvnvdw, vkvlvgabv hv ninyigv nyi vdwa Paulnyi sipai naam lo vnggv dukubv minto.
Some shouted one thing and some another, among the crowd. When he couldn’t find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
35 Bunu ninyia baatunglo vngchi minggv toku, okv vbvrikunamv sipai vdwv ninyia jootoku vkvlvgavbolo nyitwng ngv iki svrv bv rinyato.
When he came to the stairs, he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
36 Bunu mvnwng ngv ninyigv kochingbv aaming gvvtola, “Ninyia mvkito!” vla goknyato.
for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, “Away with him!”
37 Sipai vdwv Paulnyi sipai naam arwngbv aagv tvvrilo, hv kamandar anga minto: “Ngo nam gaam lo gamgo minla ridw?” “No Grik gaambv minto, no minyure?” Vla kamandar angv tvvkato.
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 “Vbvrikunamv no kvvlo kvcho gv Ijipt nyi ako yalungyachung dula hejar api alvmanv nyi go rigvla chukrimooku lo riram la ramgvnv angv mai?”
Aren’t 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 Paul mirwksito, “Ngo Jius nyi ngv, Silisia gv Tarsus lo bvngnamv, Pamtv kai nvlo doonv ngv. Ayala nga nyi vdwa gaam japmu labv.”
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 Kamandar angv ninyia japdubv jitoku, vkvlvgabv Paul baatung lo dakpv tvla ninyigv laakv nyi vdwa choi bvkv vla minto. Vdwlo bunu choi bv dooto kudw, Paul bunua Hebru gaambv japtoku:
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,
