Wiawia 8
1 A JAULUJ pil peren kida a kamela. A ni ran ota anjaun kamekam en momodijou en Ierujalem tapida; karoj ap muei pajan nan jap en Iudaao Jamaria, wanporon akan me jo.
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 A ol lelapok kai jarepedi Jtepanuj o maieiki i kaualap.
And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him.
3 A Jauluj me kamueit pajan momodijou o kuli on im karoj, wala ol o li karoj, kajedi on irail nan imaten.
As for Saul, he made havoc of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison.
4 A irail me muei pajaner, kakan jili padapadak duen majan o.
Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where preaching the word. (logos)
5 Pilipuj ap kotilan kanim en Jamaria eu o padaki on irail duen Krijtuj.
Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
6 A aramaj akan wiaki eu peiki on meakan, me Pilipuj padaki on irail. Re roneron i o kilan kilel akan me a wiadar.
And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spoke, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
7 Pwe nen jaut keredi jan ren me toto ni ar weriwer laud. O me kokon madak o na danidan toto me kelailadar.
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 O peren me lapalap nan kanim o.
And there was great joy in that city.
9 A ol amen ad a Jimon, me kin wun ani maj o, kotokotaue men Jamaria, me inda duen pein i, me i me lapalap.
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 A irail karoj peiki on i, me tikitik o me lapalap akan katitiki: Men et iei manaman en Kot me lapalap.
To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.
11 A re kin peiki on i, pweki a kin kotokotaue irail jan maj kokodo.
And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.
12 A re lao kamelele Pilipuj, me padaki duen ronamau en wein Kot o duen mar en Iejuj Krijtuj, rap paptaijela, ol o li akan.
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 Jimon pil ian pojonlar, I lao paptaijelar, ap waroki on Pilipuj. A lao udial kilel o manaman akan, me wiauier, ap puriamuiki.
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 Wanporon akan me kotikot Ierujalem lao mani, me Jamaria ian duki on majan en Kot, rap poronelan irail Petruj o Ioanej.
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 Ira lao kotido, ap kapakapa kin irail, pwe re en tunole Nen jaraui.
Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit: (pneuma)
16 Pwe a jaikenta moredi on amen irail. Re paptaijelar eta ni mar en Kaun Iejuj.
(For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
17 Ira ari kotiki on po’rail lim ar akan, irail ap aleer Nen jaraui.
Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
18 Jimon lao kilaner, me Nen jaraui kokido en wanporon oko ara pwil po’rail lim ar akan, ap men ki on ira kijin moni.
And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Spirit (pneuma) was given, he offered them money,
19 Indada: Koma pil kotiki don ia manaman wet, pwe ma I pan pwiI pon amen pa i kat, i en ale Nen jaraui.
Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit. (pneuma)
20 A Petruj majani on i: Noum moni en ian uk lokidokila! pweki om kiki on, me mana en Kot kokido moni.
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 Nan jota pwaij om de om tunol ni dodok wet, pwe monion om jota inen mon Kot.
You have neither part nor lot in this matter: (logos) for your heart is not right in the sight of God.
22 Ari, kalukila om jued wet, poeki ren Kaun o, ma a jota pan kotin makeki lamelam jued nan monion om.
Repent therefore of this your wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
23 Pwe i kilaner, me koe me dir en edi katik o teniten ni me japun.
For I perceive that you are in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
24 Jimon ap japen indada: Koma kotin kapakapa kin ia ren Kaun o, pwe mepukat, me koma majani on ia, ender pwai don ia.
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 A ira lao katitiki o kotikida majan en Kaun o, ap purelan Ierujalem, o padak jili ronamau nan kijinkanim en Jamaria toto.
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 A tounlan en Kaun o majani on Pilipuj: Uda kola pali air pon al o, me kodi jan Ierujalem, ko on Kaja me tan!
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 I ari uda japalewei. A kilan, ol en Etiopia, jaumaj manaman en Kandaje, li nanmarki en Etiojiia, me kokoaki a dipijou karoj, mo kotido, pwen kaudok nan Ierujalem.
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 A ni a purela jap we, a kotikot pon dakepa o dondoropwe jaukop Iejaia.
Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Isaiah the prophet.
29 Nen o ap kotin majani on Pilipuj: Kai on o ianala dakepa!
Then the Spirit (pneuma) said unto Philip, Go near, and join yourself to this chariot.
30 Pilipuj ap tana won i, ap ronadar a dondoropwe jaukop Iejaia majani: Komui weweki, me komui doropwe?
And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Isaiah, and said, Understand you what you read?
31 I ari majani: Pala i pan aja, ma jota, me pan kawewe on ia? I ari poeki ren Pilipuj en kereda mondi re a.
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 A iet waja nan kijin likau o me a wadoker: Duen jip amen, me pakara wei, pwen kamela, o duen jippul, me kin nenenlata pan me kote jan wun a, iduen a jota kotin dauaja pajan jilan i.
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 A ni a karakarak a jolar pakadeikadar. A ij me pan kak kaweweda duen jau i kan? Pwe a ieiaj wijike janer jappa.
In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
34 Jaumaj ap japen Pilipuj majani: I men poeki re omui, ij me jaukop katitiki met? Duen pein i de duen amen?
And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray you, of whom speaks the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
35 Pilipuj ap kotiki pajan au a, padaki on i ronamau en lejuj, tapiada nan kijin likau wet.
Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
36 A ni ara kokowei, ira lel on pil apot, a jaumaj o majani: Kilan pil o, da me karompa, me I jota paptaij ki?
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?
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 I ap majani dakepa en udi. Ira karoj ap kodi on pil o, Pilipuj o jaumaj o; i ari paptaij i.
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 Ira lao kodado jan nan pil o, Nen en Kaun o ap pokada jan Pilipuj. Jaumaj o ap jolar kilan i. I ari daulul kokowei popol.
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 Pilipuj ap diarokadar Ajdod; a dadaulular, padak jili ronamau nan kanim karoj lao a lele don Jajarea.
But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
