< 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.
Basa ma, Paulus se lao raꞌahuluꞌ risiꞌ kota Derbe. Basa de, ara lao risiꞌ kota Listra. Sia naa, randaa ro atahori soruꞌ esa, nara na Timotius. Ama na, atahori Yunani. Ma ina na, atahori Yahudi mana namahere neu Yesus ena. Timotius o dadꞌi Yesus atahori na ena.
2 The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.
Basa atahori mamahereꞌ sia kota Listra ma kota Ikonium, bubꞌuluꞌ Timotius atahori maloleꞌ.
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.
Paulus nau fo Timotius tungga no se. Te atahori Yahudi sia naa, bubꞌuluꞌ Timotius ama na atahori Yunani, de ana nda sunat tungga adat Yahudi sa. Naa de, Paulus ator fo ara sunat Timotius.
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.
Boe ma, ara lao mia mamanaꞌ esa risiꞌ mamanaꞌ esa, de rafadꞌe neꞌetuꞌ fo Lamatuaꞌ Yesus dedenu Nara ro lasi Kristen feaꞌ ra raꞌetuꞌ mia Yerusalem.
5 So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
No taꞌo naa, ara tao manggatee atahori mamahereꞌ ra rala nara. Tungga fai, atahori mamahereꞌ ra, boe ramaheta.
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.
Basa naa ma, Paulus se lao rakandoo. Ara risiꞌ nusa Frigia ma nusa Galatia, huu Lamatualain Dula-dale Meumare Na ai se fo afiꞌ rafadꞌe Lamatualain Dudꞌui Malolen sia nusa Asia.
7 When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit didn’t allow them.
Ara losa mamanaꞌ esa natadꞌa no nusa Misia ma, rae masoꞌ sobꞌa risiꞌ nusa Bitinia. Te Yesus Dula-dale Na ai se fo afiꞌ naa reu.
8 Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
Basa de, ara lao seli nusa Misia, de losa kota Troas sia tasi suu na.
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.”
Tetembaꞌ naa Lamatualain natudꞌu Paulus onaꞌ meit e. Ana nita atahori sa nambariiꞌ sia tasi seriꞌ, sia nusaꞌ esa, nara na Makedonia. Atahori naa nggasi noꞌe tulu-faliꞌ nae, “Amaꞌ! Uma tulun hai dei!”
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.
Paulus nita taꞌo naa ma, hai miꞌetuꞌ fo mi sia Makedonia. Hai mimihere memaꞌ Lamatualain denu hai mi mifadꞌe Dala Masodꞌan neu atahori sia tasi seriꞌ. Naa de Ana ai fo afiꞌ misiꞌ mamana feaꞌ.
11 Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
Basa ma, hai sae ofaꞌ mia kota Troas, misiꞌ pulu anaꞌ esa, naran Samotrake. Mbilaꞌ neu, hai lao mikindoo misiꞌ kota esa, naran Neapolis. Basa ma, hai ondaa sia naa.
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.
Mia naa, hai lao tungga madꞌa ata misi kota monaeꞌ esa, naran Filipi. (Filipi, kota mana seliꞌ sa sia nusa Makedonia. Mana parenda Roma toꞌu koasa sia naa.) Hai leo fai hira sia naa.
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.
Nandaa no atahori Yahudi ra fai hahae ao na, hai mi sangga mamana hule-oꞌeꞌ nara. Hai mae neꞌo mamana hule-oꞌeꞌ naa, sia loe a suu na. De hai lao dea mi mia kota a, losa hambu loe esa. Sia naa, mindaa mo inaꞌ hira. De hai endoꞌ ola-olaꞌ mo se.
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.
Inaꞌ naa ra, esa naran Lidia. Ana mia kota esa naran Tiatira, doo mia nusa Asia. Ana naseoꞌ teme dula maranggeoꞌ, feli na seli, fee neu atahori monaen ra. Ana manggate hule-oꞌe neu Lamatualain. Ana rena Paulus oꞌolan ma, ana simbo boe.
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.
Boe ma hai sarani mama Lidia no ume isi nara. Basa ma, ana noꞌe hai nae, “Ama nggare! Mete ma hei duꞌa mae au ia, umuhere tebꞌe neu Lamatuaꞌ Yesus, na, hei ima numban sia ume ngga. Ana akaꞌ a noꞌe, de hai tungga.
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.
Faiꞌ esa hai lao-laoꞌ misiꞌ mamana hule-oꞌeꞌ, de mindaa mo ana fetoꞌ esa mia dalaꞌ. Eni, atahori ate na. Nitu deꞌulakaꞌ tao e, de ana bisa nafadꞌe atahori ua-nale nara. Ana o bubꞌuluꞌ dedꞌeat ra huu-pata nara boe. De atahori hetar hii fee ne doiꞌ fo roꞌe mete sira ua-nale nara. Te doiꞌ naa ra, ana fetoꞌ a malangga nara hambu se, de ramasuꞌi.
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!”
Faiꞌ naa, hai lao ma, ana fetoꞌ naa akaꞌ tungga no hai. Ana randu nae, “Atahori ia ra, Lamatualain Mana Koasa Monaeꞌ a ana dedenu nara. Ara rema rae ratudꞌu dalaꞌ taꞌo bee fo atahori bisa rasodꞌa, ma nenemboꞌit mia sala nara!”
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.
Ana fetoꞌ naa randu taꞌo naa losa fai hira. Dꞌodꞌoo ma Paulus mbera rena rarandu na. De ana heoꞌ dea na, de mete nahereꞌ e, ma parenda nae, “He! Nitu deꞌulakaꞌ! No Lamatuaꞌ Yesus Koasa Na, au parenda nggo lao hela inaꞌ ia, oras ia boe!” Paulus olaꞌ basa taꞌo naa ma, nitu a nela boe.
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.
Ana fetoꞌ a malangga nara bubꞌuluꞌ, sira ate na koasan mopo ena ma, de ara ramanasa, huu nda hambu doiꞌ sa ena. De ara toꞌu Paulus no Silas, ma lea rendi se risiꞌ mamana naseoꞌ, sia mamana naꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat.
20 When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men, being Jews, are agitating our city
Losa naa ma, ara nggasi rahereꞌ rae, “Atahori ia ra, rema fo tao ralulutu hita kotan. Te sira nda hita atahori tara sa. Sira atahori Yahudi mia dodꞌooꞌ rema, rae tao kaco sia ia!
21 and advocate customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.”
Ara ranori atahori rae, tungga neuꞌ a sira atoran na, afiꞌ tao afiꞌ neu mana parenda Roma ra atoran.”
22 The multitude rose up together against them and the magistrates tore their clothes from them, then commanded them to be beaten with rods.
Rena taꞌo naa ma, atahori ra ramue, de reu momoko Paulus no Silas. Boe ma atahori monae mana naꞌetu dedꞌeat ra denu atahori reu sii Paulus no Silas bua nara, ma filo se.
23 When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.
Ara filo Paulus no Silas, ma tao se bui rala reu. Ara denu malangga mana naneaꞌ a fo nanea besa-bꞌesa ruꞌa se. Afiꞌ losa rela.
24 Having received such a command, he threw them into the inner prison and secured their feet in the stocks.
De malangga a tao se risiꞌ kama esa sia bui taladꞌa na. Ma ana langge ei nara.
25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
Neofaa na ma, Paulus ma Silas hule-oꞌe ma sodꞌa koa-kio Lamatualain. Atahori bui feaꞌ sia naa ra, rena sira sosodꞌa nara boe.
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.
Aiboiꞌ ma, rae a nanggenggoꞌ seli, losa ume bui nanggonggaꞌ. Lelesu nara o soi ao nara boe. Ma atahori bui ra rante nara mbasi hendi se.
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.
Malangga a nggengger de fela, ma nita bui a lelesu na basa se manasoiꞌ. Ana nae neꞌo basa atahori bui ra rela ena. De ana lesu fela na, nae mbau nisa ao na.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, “Don’t harm yourself, for we are all here!”
Te Paulus nggasi nahereꞌ ma ai nae, “Amaꞌ! Afiꞌ mbau misa ao ma! Te basa hai feꞌe sia ia!”
29 He called for lights, sprang in, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,
Malangga a rena haraꞌ naa ma, ana namatau nae mate de nda nitaꞌ nae tao saa saꞌ boe. Ana denu rendi fee ne obor, de bui rala neu, te ao na foti. Ana sendeꞌ lululangga na neu Paulus no Silas ei nara.
30 brought them out, and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
Basa ma, ana no se dea reu, de natane nae, “Ama nggare. Au ia, susa seli. Au musi tao saa, fo hambu masodꞌaꞌ?”
31 They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
Paulus se rataa rae, “Dala na taꞌo ia: mumuhere Lamatuaꞌ Yesus, fo Ana fee masodꞌaꞌ neu nggo mo ume isi mara.”
32 They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.
Paulus no Silas ola-olaꞌ ro malangga bui a ma basa ume isi nara. Ara rafadꞌe Lamatuaꞌ Yesus Dala Masodꞌa Na neu se.
33 He took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.
Neofaa naa ma, malangga bui a no Paulus ma Silas de reu tao rameu bisu fo ara filo se afi sa. Basa ma, ara sarani malangga naa no ume isi nara.
34 He brought them up into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly with all his household, having believed in God.
Basa boe ma, ana no se nisiꞌ ume na fo ara raa. No ume isi nara ramahoꞌo seli, huu ramahere Lamatualain ena.
35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, “Let those men go.”
Fefetu na ma, atahori monaen mana raꞌetuꞌ dedꞌeat naa, fee haraꞌ neu malangga bui, fo mboꞌi Paulus se mia bui a.
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.”
Rena taꞌo naa ma, malangga bui a nafadꞌe haraꞌ naa neu Paulus nae, “Ama nggare. Atahori monaen ra raꞌetuꞌ fo mboꞌi nggi. De amaꞌ se baliꞌ no masodꞌaꞌ.”
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!”
Te Paulus nda simbo sa, de nafadꞌe mana nendi haraꞌ a nae, “Afiꞌ taꞌo naa! Hai ia, miꞌena hak atahori Roma. De hai moꞌe hahambu mara. Mana parenda ra musi nggero hai dedꞌea ma, tungga atoran. Matetu na, musi endoꞌ dedꞌeat, dei fo hukun atahori. Te ara nda tao taꞌo naa sa. Ara nda endoꞌ dedꞌeat sa, fo sangga sala mara saa, te ara filo hai neuꞌ ena mia atahori hetar mata nara. Nda naꞌena salaꞌ saa sa te, tao hai bui rala mii. Ia tebꞌe-tebꞌeꞌ nda tungga atoran mana parenda Roma sa. Te ia ma, rae mboꞌi neꞌefuniꞌ hai mia bui rala, fo atahori nda rahine hai sala saa saꞌ boe? Nda taꞌo naa saa. Denu malangga ra rema mboꞌi hai. Taꞌo naa dei fo hai nau.”
38 The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,
Mana nendi haraꞌ a neu nafadꞌe baliꞌ Paulus oꞌola na ma, malangga ra feꞌe bubꞌuluꞌ ruꞌa se raꞌena hak sia Roma boe. De ara ramatau seli.
39 and they came and begged them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.
Basa ma, ara bui rala reu, rataa sala nara ma roꞌe maaf mbali Paulus no Silas. Dei de, mboꞌi ruꞌa se mia bui a ma roꞌe se lao hela kota naa.
40 They went out of the prison and entered into Lydia’s house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, then departed.
Paulus se lao hela bui a ma, ara risiꞌ mama Lidia ume na. Sia naa, ara raꞌabꞌue ro atahori mamahereꞌ ra. Ranori se ma tao manggatee rala nara seluꞌ. Dei de, ara lao hela kota naa.
