Acts 13
1 Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
Oasr kutu mwet palu ac mwet luti in church Antioch — inelos pa Barnabas, Simeon (su pangpang Sroalsroal), Lucius (sie mwet Cyrene), Manaen (su srikyak yorol Governor Herod), ac Saul.
2 As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them.”
Ke elos kulansap nu sin Leum ac lalo, Ngun Mutal fahk nu selos, “Srella Barnabas ac Saul nu sik eltal in oru orekma su nga pangnoltal nu kac.”
3 Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
Elos lalo ac pre, na elos filiya paolos facltal ac supwaltalla.
4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.
Ke Ngun Mutal supwalla Barnabas ac Saul, eltal som nwe Seleucia, ac kal we lac nu Cyprus.
5 When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed God’s word in the Jewish synagogues. They also had John as their attendant.
Ke eltal sun siti Salamis, eltal fahkak kas lun God in iwen lolngok lun mwet Jew we. John Mark el welultal in kasreltal.
6 When they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar Jesus,
Eltal fahsr sasla fin tuka sac nwe ke eltal sun siti Paphos, ac sun sie mwet susfa pangpang Bar-Jesus. El sie mwet Jew, ac el sifacna fahk mu el mwet palu se.
7 who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.
El kawuk nu sin governor lun tuka sac su pangpang Sergius Paulus, sie mwet na lalmwetmet. Governor el pangnolma Barnabas ac Saul nu ye mutal, mweyen el ke lohng ke kas lun God.
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
Tusruktu mwet susfa sac (su pangpang Elymas in kas Greek) el lainultal, ac el srike elan kifasulla governor liki moul in lulalfongi uh.
9 But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him
Na Saul (su pangpang pac Paul) el sessesla ke Ngun Mutal, ac el ngetang suiya mwet susfa sac
10 and said, “You son of the devil, full of all deceit and all cunning, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
ac fahk, “Kom wen nutin Devil! Kom mwet lokoalok lun ma nukewa ma wo uh. Kom nwanala na ke kain kutasrik koluk nukewa, ac pacl nukewa kom srike in ekulla ma pwaye lun God nu ke ma kikiap!
11 Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season!” Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
Poun Leum God ac fah putati nu fom ingena. Kom ac fah kunla, ac tia ku in liye kalem lun len uh nwe ke sie pacl God El ac fah pakiya.” In pacl sacna Elymas el pulauk ohk se fahsryak kosrala mutal, ac el forfor suk sie mwet ah in pwanul.
12 Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
Ke governor el liye ma sikyak inge, na el lulalfongila, ac el arulana lut ke mwe luti ke Leum Jesus.
13 Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
Paul ac mwet ma welul eltal kal som Paphos lac nu Perga, sie siti in acn Pamphylia. John Mark el tuh folokla Perga lac nu Jerusalem.
14 But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.
Eltal som Perga lac nu Antioch in Pisidia, ac ke len Sabbath eltal som nu in iwen lolngok ac muta.
15 After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak.”
Tukun ritiyuk tari kutu Ma Sap lal Moses ac kutu ma simusla lun mwet palu, mwet kol lun iwen lolngok uh supwala kas nu seltal ac fahk, “Mwet lili, kut lungse kowos in kaskas nu sin mwet uh, fin oasr kas in akkeye lowos nu selos.”
16 Paul stood up, and gesturing with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.
Paul el tuyak, sralak paol mwet uh in misla, na el mutawauk in kaskas. El fahk, “Mwet Israel wiuk, oayapa mwet saya nukewa su alu nu sin God: kowos porongeyu!
17 The God of this people chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as aliens in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it.
God lun mwet Israel El tuh sulela mwet matu lasr meet, ac oru tuh elos in sie mutunfacl ke elos tuh moul in mwetsac in facl Egypt. God El tuh usalosla liki acn Egypt ke ku lulap lal,
18 For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.
ac ke yac angngaul, El mutangalos in acn mwesis.
19 When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land for an inheritance for about four hundred fifty years.
El kunausla mutunfacl itkosr in facl Canaan, ac sang acn inge tuh in ma lac lun mwet lal. Ma inge nukewa orekla ke inmasrlon yac angfoko lumngaul.
20 After these things, he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.
“Tukun ma inge, El sang tuh mwet nununku in kololos nwe ke sun pacl lal Samuel, mwet palu.
21 Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
Toko, elos siyuk ke sie tokosra, ac God El eisalang Saul, wen natul Kish in sou lal Benjamin, elan tokosra lalos ke lusen yac angngaul.
22 When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’
Tukun God El sisella Saul, God El akleumyalak David elan tokosra lalos. Pa inge ma God El fahk kacl: ‘Nga konauk lah David, wen natul Jesse, el kain mwet se ma nga insewowo se, su ac oru ma nukewa ma nga lungse elan oru uh.’
23 From this man’s offspring, God has brought salvation to Israel according to his promise,
Jesus, sin fwilin tulik natul David, pa God El tuh orala in Mwet Lango nu sin mwet Israel uh, oana ke El tuh wulela kac ah.
24 before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to Israel.
Meet liki Jesus el mutawauk orekma lal, John el tuh luti nu sin mwet Israel nukewa lah enenu elos in forla liki ma koluk lalos ac baptaisla.
25 As John was fulfilling his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, one comes after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’
Ac ke apkuran in safla orekma lal John, el tuh fahk nu sin mwet uh, ‘Kowos nunku mu su nga uh? Tia nga pa el su kowos soano uh. A kowos in porongo! El ac tuku tukuk, ac nga kupansuwol in sarukla fahluk lal uh.’
26 “Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to you.
“Mwet Israel wiuk su fwilin tulik natul Abraham, ac mwet saya nukewa lohm uh su alu nu sin God: pweng ke molela se inge ma nu sesr nukewa!
27 For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they didn’t know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.
Tuh mwet ma muta Jerusalem, ac oayapa mwet kol lalos, tiana etu lah el pa Mwet Lango, ac elos tia pac kalem ke kas lun mwet palu ma ritiyuk ke Sabbath nukewa uh. Ne ouinge a elos oru tuh kas lun mwet palu akpwayeiyuk ke elos unilya Jesus.
28 Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
Ac elos finne tia konauk kutena sripa fal in anwuki el kac, a elos kwafe sel Pilate elan unilya.
29 When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.
Ac tukun elos orala ma nukewa su Ma Simusla uh fahk kacl, elos eisya manol liki sakseng, ac fililya in kulyuk uh.
30 But God raised him from the dead,
Tusruktu God El akmoulyalak liki misa,
31 and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.
ac ke len pus, el sikyang nu sin mwet su tuh welul in fufahsryesr lal Galilee me nu Jerusalem. Inge elos mwet loh kacl nu sin mwet Israel.
32 We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,
Ac kut tuku in use Pweng Wo ma God El tuh wulela nu sin mwet matu lasr meet ah,
33 that God has fulfilled this to us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, ‘You are my Son. Today I have become your father.’
ac inge El akpwayei nu sesr su ma natulos, ke El akmoulyalak Jesus. Oana ma simla in Psalm luo uh, su fahk, ‘Kom wen nutik; Misenge nga papala tomom.’
34 “Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.’
Ac pa inge ma God El fahk ke El ac akmoulyalak liki misa uh, tuh elan tia kulawi in kulyuk uh: ‘Nga fah sot nu sum mwe insewowo mutal ac pwaye Su nga tuh wulela kac nu sel David.’
35 Therefore he says also in another psalm, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’
Aok, El oayapa fahk ke sie pac verse ma fahk mu, ‘Kom fah tia lela mwet kulansap oaru lom in kulawi in kulyuk uh.’
36 For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, was laid with his fathers, and saw decay.
Tuh ke pacl David el moul el akfalye ma lungse lun God, na el misa, ac pukpuki el yurin mwet matu lal, ac manol kulawi in kulyuk uh.
37 But he whom God raised up saw no decay.
Tusruktu el su God El akmoulyauk liki misa, el tia wi kulawi.
38 Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins;
Ke ma inge, mwet Israel wiuk, lela in arulana kalem suwos lah nunak munas ke ma koluk su kut fahkak nu suwos uh, ma tuku ke mwet se inge, Jesus.
39 and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Kowos in etu pac lah mwet nukewa su lulalfongi in el, elos sukosokla liki ma koluk nukewa su Ma Sap lal Moses uh tia ku in aksukosokyekowosla liki.
40 Beware therefore, lest that come on you which is spoken in the prophets:
Ke ma inge kowos liyekowosyang tuh kas inge ma fwackyak sin mwet palu fah tia tuku nu fowos:
41 ‘Behold, you scoffers! Wonder and perish, for I work a work in your days, a work which you will in no way believe, if one declares it to you.’”
‘Ngetma, kowos su aksruksrukye God! Kowos in lut ac misa! Tuh ma nga oru misenge ye motowos, Sie ma su kowos ac tia ku in lulalfongi Mwet finne aketeya nu suwos!’”
42 So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.
Ke Paul ac Barnabas illa liki iwen lolngok uh, mwet uh kwafe eltal in sifilpa foloko ke Sabbath se tok uh, ac sifilpa akyokye srumunyen ma inge.
43 Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
Tukun mwet uh fahsrelik liki toeni sac, mwet puspis sin mwet Jew ac oayapa mwet saya ma forla ac weang alu lun mwet Jew, elos ukwalla Paul ac Barnabas. Mwet sap uh kaskas nu selos ac akkeyalos elos in oaru na in fungyang nu ke kulang lun God.
44 The next Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.
Ke Sabbath se tok ah, apkuran mwet nukewa in siti uh tuku in lohng kas lun Leum.
45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.
Ke mwet Jew elos liye pusiyen mwet uh elos sokyak na pwaye. Elos sramsram lainul Paul ac sufanul.
46 Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, “It was necessary that God’s word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from yourselves, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
Ne ouinge a fahkak lal Paul ac Barnabas arulana pulaik liki meet ah, ac eltal fahk: “Kowos pa kut enenu na in fahkak kas lun God nu se oemeet. Tuh ke kowos pilesru ac sifacna nunku mu kowos sufal in eis moul ma pahtpat, kut ac fahsr liki kowos ac som nu yurin mwet pegan uh. (aiōnios g166)
47 For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, ‘I have set you as a light for the Gentiles, that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.’”
Tuh pa inge ma Leum God El sapkin nu sesr: ‘Nga oakikomi tuh kom in sie kalem se nu sin mwet pegan, Tuh faclu nufon fah ku in moliyukla.’”
48 As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of God. As many as were appointed to eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)
Ke mwet pegan elos lohng, elos arulana engan ac kaksakin pweng wo lun God; ac elos su solla tari nu ke moul ma pahtpat elos mwet lulalfongila. (aiōnios g166)
49 The Lord’s word was spread abroad throughout all the region.
Kas lun Leum uh fahsrelik in acn nukewa in polo acn sac.
50 But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders.
Tusruktu mwet Jew elos purakak nunak lun mwet kol in siti sac, oayapa mutan kacto sin mwet pegan su wi pac alu nu sin God uh. Elos mutawauk in kalyael Paul ac Barnabas, ac luselosla liki acn selos uh.
51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
Na mwet sap uh osrokla kutkut ke nialos in akkalemye lah elos lain mwet in acn sac, na elos som nu Iconium.
52 The disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
Mwet lulalfongi in Antioch elos arulana sessesla ke engan ac ke Ngun Mutal.
