Acts 16
1 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.
Paul el sifilpa som nu Derbe ac Lystra, ac sun sie mwet Christian in acn we su pangpang Timothy. Nina kial el sie mwet Christian, sie mutan Jew, tusruk papa tumal ah mwet Greek.
2 The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.
Mwet lulalfongi nukewa in acn Lystra ac Iconium elos fahk ma wo kacl Timothy.
3 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.
Paul el lungse usal Timothy welul, ouinge el kosralla. El oru ouinge mweyen mwet Jew nukewa in acn inge elos etu lah papa tumal Timothy el mwet Greek.
4 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.
Ke elos forfor in siti inge, elos fahkak nu sin mwet lulalfongi we ma mwet sap ac mwet kol lun church in acn Jerusalem elos oakiya mu elos in fahsr kac, ac elos fahk pac nu selos in akos ma sap inge.
5 So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Ouinge church uh akkeyeyukla ke lulalfongi lalos, ac puseni mwet in church uh ke len nukewa.
6 When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
Elos fahsr sasla acn Phrygia ac Galatia, mweyen Ngun Mutal tia lela elos in fahkak kas in acn Asia.
7 When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit didn’t allow them.
Ke elos sun masrol nu Mysia, elos srike in som nu in acn Bithynia, tusruktu Ngun lun Jesus tia lela.
8 Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
Ke ma inge elos fahsr sasla acn Mysia ac som nu Troas.
9 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.”
Ke fong sac Paul el liye sie aruruma, ac liye sie mwet Macedonia el tu ac kwafe sel ac fahk, “Fahsru nu Macedonia ac kasrekut!”
10 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.
Tukunna Paul el liye aruruma se inge, na kut akola in som nu Macedonia, mweyen kut liye mu God El pangon kut in luti Pweng Wo nu sin mwet we.
11 Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
Kut oayak liki acn Troas, ac kal suwoslana nwe Samothrace, ac in len tok ah kut kalla nu Neapolis.
12 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.
Na kut utyak weyak nu Philippi, sie siti lun mwet Rome in acn Macedonia, ac kut muta we ke kutu len.
13 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.
Ke len Sabbath kut illa liki siti uh ac som nu pe infacl ah, sie acn ma kut nunku mu ac oasr mwet Jew fahsreni in pre we. Kut muta in acn sac ac sramsram nu sin kutu mutan su tukeni we.
14 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.
Sie sin mutan ma lohng kas lasr uh pa Lydia, sie mutan Thyatira su kukakin nuknuk sroninmutuk. El sie mutan alu nu sin God, ac Leum El ikasla nunak lal elan lohang nu ke ma Paul el fahk uh.
15 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.
Mutan sac ac sou lal elos baptaisla, na el suli kut ac fahk, “Fahsru muta lohm sik ah, kowos fin liye mu nga sie mwet lulalfongi pwaye ke Leum.” Na ke sripen kas lal inge, kut som nu lohm sel.
16 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.
Sie len ah ke kut fahsr in som nu ke acn in pre, kut sun sie tulik mutan kohs su oasr ngun fohkfok yorol ma oru el ku in palye ma ac sikyak in pacl fahsru uh. Yohk mani el sruokya lun leum lal ah ke sripen palu lal uh.
17 Following Paul and us, she cried out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us a way of salvation!”
El fahsr tokosr ac Paul, ac wowoyak, “Mwet inge elos mwet kulansap lun God Fulatlana! Elos ac fahkak nu suwos lah kowos ac moliyukla fuka!”
18 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.
El oru ouinge ke len na pus, nwe ke na Paul el semutengyak sel, ac tapulla fahk nu sin ngun fohkfok sac, “Ke inen Jesus Christ nga sapkin nu sum, illa lukel!” Ngun sac som lukel in pacl sacna.
19 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.
Ke leum lun mutan sac elos akilenak lah ac wanginla inkanek in orek mani lalos sel, elos sruokilya Paul ac Silas, ac amakunutalla nu ke nien toeni in siti uh, in nununkeyuk eltal ye mutun mwet fulat.
20 When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men, being Jews, are agitating our city
Elos usalosme nu ye mutun mwet leum lun Rome ac fahk, “Mwet inge elos mwet Jew, ac elos orek lokoalok in siti sesr uh.
21 and advocate customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.”
Elos luti ke kutu ouiya ma kisrung ma sap lasr uh. Kut mwet Rome, ac kut tia ku in eis kain facsin ma elos luti inge ac moulkin.”
22 The multitude rose up together against them and the magistrates tore their clothes from them, then commanded them to be beaten with rods.
Na un mwet uh welulosyak lainul Paul ac Silas. Na mwet leum Rome uh seya nuknuk lal Paul ac Silas, ac sap in sringsring eltal.
23 When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.
Tukun sringsring upa eltal, na sisiyang eltal nu in presin, ac fwackyang nu sin mwet liyaung presin uh in lakiya ku, eltal in tia kaingla.
24 Having received such a command, he threw them into the inner prison and secured their feet in the stocks.
Ke mwet liyaung presin uh lohng ma sap nu sel uh, na el siseltalang nu infukil se oeloac uh, ac kapriya nialtal ke sak in kapir lulap.
25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
Ke infulwen fong uh, Paul ac Silas pre ac on ke on in alu nu sin God, ac mwet kapir saya uh lohng ke eltal on uh.
26 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.
Tia paht na kusrusr na upa se sikyak, su osrokak pac pwelung ke presin uh. Srungul nukewa ikakla, ac sein ma kapri mwet kaul uh putatla lukelos nukewa.
27 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.
Mwet liyaung presin el ngutalik, ac ke el liye lah srungul ke presin uh ikakla, el nunku mu mwet kapir uh kaingla. Na el faesak cutlass natul ac oru elan sifacna unilya.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, “Don’t harm yourself, for we are all here!”
Ac Paul el liksrenina wola ac fahk, “Nimet sifacna unikomi! Kut pa na inge.”
29 He called for lights, sprang in, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,
Mwet liyaung presin el sap in utuku sie lam, na el yuyang nu luin presin, ac el arulana rarrar ke el putati sisken nial Paul ac Silas.
30 brought them out, and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
Na el pwanultalla nu lik uh ac siyuk seltal, “Leum luo, mea nga ac oru tuh nga in moliyukla?”
31 They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
Eltal topuk ac fahk nu sel, “Lulalfongi in Leum Jesus, na kom fah moul — kom ac mwet in lohm sum.”
32 They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.
Na eltal fahkak kas lun Leum nu sel ac nu sin mwet nukewa in lohm sel.
33 He took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.
Ke ao sacna in fong sac, mwet liyaung presin el usaltalla ac ohlla kinet kacltal. Na el ac mwet nukewa in lohm sel baptaisla in pacl sacna.
34 He brought them up into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly with all his household, having believed in God.
Na el usalak Paul ac Silas nu in lohm sel ah, ac kitaltal mwe mongo. El ac sou lal uh sessesla ke engan mweyen inge elos lulalfongi ke God.
35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, “Let those men go.”
In lotu tok ah, leum lun mwet Rome uh supwala kutu policeman in fahk nu sin mwet liyaung presin uh, “Tulala mwet luo ingan eltal in som.”
36 The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out and go in peace.”
Ouinge mwet liyaung presin el fahk nu sel Paul, “Mwet leum uh sapma in tuh ikakla kom ac Silas. Komtal ku in som ac fahsr in misla.”
37 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!”
Tusruk Paul el fahk nu sin policeman uh, “Wangin ma koneyukyak mu oasr mwatasr kac, a elos uni kut ye mutun mwet uh — ac kut mwet Rome! Na elos siskutyang nu in presin, ac inge elos ke supwekutla in lukma. Tia ku in ouingan! Enenu mwet leum lun Rome ingan in tuku ac sifacna ikuskutla.”
38 The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,
Policeman inge som ac fahkak kas laltal inge nu sin leum lun acn Rome uh; ac ke elos lohngak lah Paul ac Silas mwet Rome, elos arulana sangeng.
39 and they came and begged them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.
Ouinge elos som ac taltal koluk nu seltal; ac ikasultalla liki presin, ac fahk eltal in som liki siti uh.
40 They went out of the prison and entered into Lydia’s house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, then departed.
Paul ac Silas som liki presin, ac som nu lohm sel Lydia. Eltal osun nu sin mwet lulalfongi uh we, ac sang kas in akku nu selos, na eltal som.
