Orekma 8
1 Ac Saul el wi akkeye in anwuki Stephen. In len sacna, mwet lun church in acn Jerusalem mutawauk in pula mwe akkeok na upa nu selos. Mwet lulalfongi nukewa, sayen mwet sap uh, fahsrelik nu in acn nukewa Judea ac Samaria.
And Saul was consenting unto his death. And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judaea and Samaria, except the apostles.
2 Kutu mwet ma inse pwaye in lulalfongi elos arulana tungel Stephen, ac piknilya.
And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
3 A Saul el srike in kunausla church. El uti-utyak inkul nukewa, ac amakunla mukul ac mutan su lulalfongi liki lohm selos, ac siselosyang nu in presin.
As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
4 Mwet lulalfongi ma fahsrelik elos fahkak ke Pweng Wo yen nukewa elos som nu we.
Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word. (logos)
5 Ac Philip el som nu in sie siti in Samaria ac fahkak ke Christ nu sin mwet we.
Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
6 Un mwet puspis arulana lohang nu sel Philip, in lohng ma el fahk uh ac in liye mwenmen ma el oru.
And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spoke, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
7 Ngun fohkfok uh illa liki mwet puspis ac wowoyak ke pusra lulap, ac mwet ul ac mwet sukapas puspis akkeyeyukla.
For unclean spirits, (pneuma) crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
8 Ouinge mwet in siti sac elos arulana engan.
And there was great joy in that city.
9 Oasr sie mwet in acn sac pangpang Simon, su orek susfa ke pacl na loeloes we, ac aklutye mwet Samaria. El sifacna oru mu el mwet fulat se,
But there was a certain man, called Simon, which in time past in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one:
10 ac mwet nukewa in siti sac, kewana mwet fulat ac mwet pusisel, arulana lohang nu ke ma el oru. Elos fahk mu el pa ku se lun God su pangpang “Ku Lulap.”
To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
11 Elos tuh lohang ouinge nu sel ke sripen polo pacl na loes se el arulana aklutyalos ke susfa ma el oru.
And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
12 Tusruktu ke pacl se elos lulalfongi mwe luti lal Philip ke pweng wo ke Tokosrai lun God ac ke inen Jesus Christ, elos baptaisla, mukul ac mutan.
But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
13 Simon el wi pac lulalfongi ac tukun baptaisla el, el ukwal Philip pacl nukewa, ac el arulana fwefela ke el liye ma sakirik yohk ac mwenmen ma orek uh.
Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
14 Ke mwet sap ma muta Jerusalem elos lohngak lah mwet Samaria elos eis kas lun God, elos supwalla Peter ac John nu yorolos.
Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word (logos) of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
15 Ke eltal sun acn Samaria, eltal pre ke mwet lulalfongi we tuh elos in eis Ngun Mutal.
Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit: (pneuma)
16 Tuh Ngun Mutal soenna putati nu faclos; elos baptaisla mukena ke inen Leum Jesus.
(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
17 Na Peter ac John filiya paolos faclos, ac elos eis Ngun Mutal.
Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
18 Simon el liye lah Ngun Mutal itukyang nu sin mwet lulalfongi ke mwet sap uh filiya paolos faclos, ouinge el ke sang kutu mani nu sel Peter ac John,
And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit (pneuma) was given, he offered them money,
19 ac fahk, “Se pac ku se inge nu sik, tuh kutena mwet ma nga filiya pouk fac, fah eis Ngun Mutal.”
Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
20 Tuh Peter el topuk ac fahk nu sel, “Lela tuh kom ac mani lom an in som nu in hell, ke kom nunku mu kom in moli mwe kite lun God ke mani! (questioned)
But Peter said unto him, Your money perish with you, because you have thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
21 Wangin ma lom ke orekma se inge, mweyen insiom tia pwaye ye mutun God.
You have neither part nor lot in this matter: (logos) for your heart is not right in the sight of God.
22 Ke ma inge, kom in auliyak liki nunak koluk lom an, ac pre nu sin Leum tuh elan nunak munas nu sum ke kom oru kain in nunak ingan uh.
Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
23 Tuh nga liye mu kom sessesla ke sok, ac ma koluk uh kaprikomi.”
For I perceive that you are in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
24 Simon el fahk nu sel Peter ac John, “Nunak munas, pre nu sin God keik, tuh ma komtal fahk ingan in fah tia sikme nu sik.”
Then answered Simon, and said, Pray all of you to the LORD for me, that none of these things which all of you have spoken come upon me.
25 Tukun Peter ac John fahkak kas lun Leum ac sramsram ke lulalfongi laltal sifacna, eltal fahkak pac Pweng Wo uh in siti srisrik puspis in Samaria ke eltal folok nu Jerusalem.
And they, when they had testified and preached the word (logos) of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
26 Sie lipufan lun Leum God fahk nu sel Philip, “Akola ac oatula nu eir, nu ke inkanek soko ma som Jerusalem lac nu Gaza.” (Inkanek soko inge tia orekmakinyuk in pacl inge.)
And the angel of the Lord spoke unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goes down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
27 Na Philip el tuyak ac som. El liye sie mwet eunuch Ethiopia me, su sie mwet fulat inkul sin kasra lun acn Ethiopia. Mwet se inge pa liyaung mwe kasrup nukewa lun kasra sac. El tuh tuku nu Jerusalem in alu.
And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem in order to worship,
28 In pacl se inge el folokla nu yen sel. El muta fin chariot natul ac riti kas lal Isaiah mwet palu.
Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Isaiah the prophet.
29 Ac Ngun Mutal fahk nu sel Philip, “Kalukyang nu ke chariot soko ingo, ac fahsr apkuran nu kac.”
Then the Spirit (pneuma) said unto Philip, Go near, and join yourself to this chariot.
30 Philip el yula nu yorol, ac lohng lah el riti book lal Isaiah mwet palu, na el siyuk sel, “Ku kom kalem ke ma kom riti an?”
And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Isaiah, and said, Understand you what you read?
31 Na mwet fulat sac fahk, “Nga ac kalem fuka fin wangin mwet aketeya nu sik?” Na el sap Philip elan sroak ac welul muta fin chariot uh.
And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
32 Pa inge mwe rit se ma el riti ah: “El oana soko sheep ma pwenyukla in anwuki, Oana soko lamb ma mislana ke pacl in kalkul lal, El tiana fahkla kutena kas.
The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
33 Akpusiselyeyuk el, ac wangin nununku suwohs orek nu sel. Wangin mwet ac ku in srumun ke fwilin tulik natul Mweyen moul lal fin faclu uh safla.”
In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
34 Mwet fulat sac siyuk sel Philip, “Su mwet palu se inge kaskas kac uh? Kacl sifacna, ku ke siena mwet?”
And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray you, of whom speaks the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
35 Na Philip el mutawauk in sramsram. El mutawauk ke mwe rit se inge, ac fahkang nu sel ke Pweng Wo ke Jesus.
Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
36 Eltal kasrusr nwe sun sie acn ma oasr kof we. Na mwet fulat sac fahk, “Liye, kof pa inge. Ya oasr ma ac ikolyuwi nga in baptaisla?” [
And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what does hinder me to be baptized?
37 Philip el fahk nu sel, “Kom fin lulalfongi ke insiom kewa, kom ku in baptaisla.” Ac el topuk, “Nga lulalfongi lah Jesus Christ El Wen nutin God.”]
And Philip said, If you believe with all of your heart, you may. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 Na mwet fulat sac sap chariot sac in tui, na el ac Philip tukenina oatui nu in kof uh, ac Philip el baptaisella.
And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
39 Ke eltal utyak liki kof uh, Ngun lun Leum usalla Philip. Mwet fulat sac tiana sifil liyal Philip tok, a ke el som inkanek lal el arulana engan.
And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit (pneuma) of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
40 Philip el esmakla tuh na el muta Ashdod. Na el luti ke Pweng Wo in siti srisrik nukewa nwe ke el sun acn Caesarea.
But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
