Acts 13
1 The church at Antioch had prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (the childhood friend of Herod the tetrarch), and Saul.
NAN momodisou en Antiokien saukop o saunpadak kai mia. Iet akan: Parnapas, o Simeon me pil ad a Niker, o Lusius men Kirene, o Manaen, me iang monsap Erodes apwalidar, o Saulus.
2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart Barnabas and Saul to do the work I've called them to.”
A ni arail papa ong Kaun o, o kaisesol, Ngen saraui ap kotin masani: Katorore sang ong ia Parnapas o Saulus, pwen wia dok eu, me I ki ong ira er!
3 After they had fasted, prayed, and placed their hands on them in blessing, they sent them on their way.
Irail ap kaisesol o kapakap o kidang po’ra pa ar, re ap kadar ira wei.
4 So Barnabas and Saul, directed by the Holy Spirit, went to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.
Ira ari me pakadara kila Ngen saraui ap kotila Seloisia, wasa ira kereda pon sop pot tangalang Sipern.
5 Arriving at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. John was with them as their assistant.
Ira lao mi Salamis, ap padaki duen masan en Kot nan sinakoke en Sus akan. A Ioanes papa men pil iang ira.
6 They traveled throughout the island and eventually came to Paphos. There they found a Jewish magician, a false prophet by the name of Bar-jesus.
Irail lao kakan sili nan dake lel kanim Papos, rap diaradar ol amen, me kin kati ani, saukop likam amen, kisan men Sus, ad a Par Iesus,
7 He was close to the governor, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. Sergius Paulus invited Barnabas and Saul to come and visit him since he wanted to hear the word of God.
Me kin mi ren Serkius Paulus ol lelapok amen. I me ekere dong i Parnapas o Saulus, pwe a men rongerong masan en Kot.
8 But the magician Elymas (his Greek name) opposed them, trying to prevent the governor from trusting in God.
A Elimas widingak (pwe i wewe en ad a) palian ira, pwen kapure sang saumas ni poson o.
9 Saul, also called Paul, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and looked straight at him.
Saulus, me pil adaneki Paulus, dir en Ngen saraui, kangkakil i,
10 “You are full of deception and all kinds of evil, you son of the devil, you enemy of all that is right! Will you never give up perverting the Lord's true ways?
Indada: Koe meid dir en widing o mesued, o nain tewil o me kailongki me pung karos. Koe sota pan dukedi sang palian al inen en Kaun akan.
11 Look, the Lord's hand is on you and you will become blind. You will not see the sun for some time.” Immediately mist and darkness fell on him, and he had to find someone who could lead him by the hand.
A kilang met, lim en Kaun o mi po om. A koe pan maskun, ap solar kilang katipin ansau kis. Ari, a madang ediedelar o rotalar; i ap raparapaki sili men ale pa a, en kaweid i.
12 When the governor saw what happened he trusted in God, amazed at the teaching about the Lord.
Saumas lao masani me wiauier, ap posonlar, pwe a puriamuiki padak en Kaun o.
13 Then Paul and those with him sailed from Paphos and went to Perga in Pamphylia, while John left them and went back to Jerusalem.
Paulus o a warok kai ap kotila sang Papos tangatang ko dong Perke nan wein Pampilia. A Ioanes muei sang ira, purelang Ierusalem.
14 They went through Perga and on to Antioch of Pisidia. On the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and were seated.
A ira masalewei sang Perke o kotilang Antiokien en Pisidien o kotilong ong nan sinakoke ni ran en sapat kaipokedi.
15 After the readings from the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue leaders sent them a message saying, “Brothers, please share with the congregation any words of encouragement you may have.”
A lao nikier ar dondoropwe kapung o saukop akan saumas en sinakoke kai ap ilakilang ira masani: Ri (at) oko ma masan en panau pot ong aramas pukat mi re oma, koma ari kida!
16 Paul stood up, motioned with his hand to get their attention, and began speaking. “Men of Israel, and all of you who have reverence for God, listen to me.
Paulus ap kotida ololeki lim a masani: Ol en Israel komail o me kin masak Kot, komail en rong!
17 The God of the people of Israel chose our forefathers, and gave our people prosperity during their stay in the land of Egypt. Then with his mighty power he led them out of Egypt,
Kot en men Israel pukat, me kotin piladar sam atail akan o kapakapaiada aramas oko ni ar kakairu sili Äkipten, o lim a manaman, me a kotin kalua kin irail sang wasa o.
18 and he patiently dealt with them in the desert for about forty years.
A impan saunpar paeisok a kotin apapwali irail nan sap tan.
19 After he had overthrown seven nations living in the land of Canaan, God divided their land among the Israelites and gave it to them to inherit. This took about four hundred and fifty years.
Kadekadeo a lao kotin koko sang wei isu nan Kanaan, ap kotin nek ong irail sap arail.
20 Then he provided them with judges as leaders until the time of the prophet Samuel.
O murin met a kotiki ong irail saunkapung kan irerokedo par papuki limeisok lel ong saukop Samuel.
21 Then the people asked for a king, and God gave them Saul, son of Kish from the tribe of Benjamin, who ruled for forty years.
A sang ni ansau o re inong iong nanmarki amen. Kot ap kotiki ong ir Saul nain Kis, ol en kadaudok en Peniamin amen, saunpar paeisok.
22 Then God removed Saul, and made David their king. God approved of David, saying ‘I found David the son of Jesse to be a man according to my own heart; he will do everything I intend.’
A lao kasapokelar, ap kotiki ong irail Dawid, pwen nanmarki, me a pil kotin kileledier masani: I diaradar Dawid nain Iese, ol amen duen inong en mongiong i, me pan wiada insen ai karos.
23 Jesus is David's descendant; he is the Savior that God promised to bring to Israel.
Sang nan kadaudok a Kot kotikido Iesus, pwen Saunkamaur pan men Israel, duen sapwilim a inau.
24 Before Jesus came, John announced the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
Murin Ioanes a kotin padaki ong men Israel karos duen paptais en kalula mon a kotido.
25 As John was completing his mission, he said, ‘Who do you think I am? I am not the one you're looking for. But after me one is coming whose sandals I'm not worthy to untie.’
A Ioanes lao kapwaiada sapwilim a dodok, ap kotin masani: Is me komail lamelame me ngai? Kaidin ngai i. A kilang amen kotido, kisin sal en sapwilim a sut i sowar en lapwada.
26 My brothers, children of Abraham and those of you who have reverence for God: the message of this salvation has been sent to us!
Komail ol o ri ai kan, komail kadaudok en Apraam, o meamen me masak Kot re omail, padak en kamaur pot et pakadara dong komail.
27 The people living in Jerusalem and their leaders didn't recognize Jesus or understand the words spoken by the prophets that are read every Sabbath. In fact they fulfilled the prophetic words by condemning him!
Pwe me kaukauson Ierusalem o ar saumas akan kapwaiada kokop en saukop akan, me kin wadawad ni sapat akan karos ni ar kadeikada i, pweki re sasa i.
28 Even though they couldn't find any evidence to sentence him to death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
A sota me re diaradar, me a kak kamata kila. Ari so, re poeki ren Pilatus, me a en kamatala i.
29 After they had fulfilled everything predicted that they would do to him, they took him down from the cross and buried him in a tomb.
Irail lao kapwaiada karos, me intingkidi i, re ap kidi sang i nin tuka o kidi i nan sousou o.
30 But God raised him from the dead,
A Kot me kotin kaiasada i sang ren me melar akan.
31 and he appeared over the course of many days to those who had followed him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now his witnesses to the people.
O ran toto me a kotin pwara dong me iang i kotilang Ierusalem sang Kaliläa, me sapwilim a saunkadede ong aramas akan.
32 We are here to bring to you the good news of the promise that God made to our forefathers,
A kit padaki ong komail rongamau duen inau ong sam atail akan,
33 that he has now fulfilled to us their children by raising Jesus from the dead. As it is written in Psalm 2: ‘You are my Son; today I have become your Father.’
Me Kot kotin kapwai ong kitail nairail seri kan, ni a kotin kaiasadar Iesus duen a intingidier nan psalm kariau: Koe nai Ol, I kanaitik uk adar ran wet.
34 God raised him from the dead, never to die again, as he indicated by saying, ‘I will give you what is holy and trustworthy, as I promised to David.’
A duen a kotin kaiasada i sang ren me melar akan, pwen der mor pasang, i me a kotin masanieki met: I pan ki ong komail pai melel en Dawid akan.
35 As another psalm says, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’
I me a pil masanieki ekis wasa: Re sota pan kotin mueid ong, sapwilim ar Saraui o pan mor pasang.
36 But David died, after he had done what God wanted in his own time, and he was buried with his ancestors, and his body decayed.
Pwe Dawid lao kapwaiada a papa ong kupur en Kot ni a ansau, ap saimokelar, a saredier impan sam a ko, ap mor pasang.
37 The one God raised from the dead saw no decay.
A i me Kot kotin kaiasadar, nan a sota kotin mor pasang.
38 My brothers, I want you to understand that we're telling you that through this man sins are forgiven.
Ari ri ai kan, komail asa, me lapwa pan dip akan ren men et kin kaloki ong komail.
39 Through him everyone who trusts in him is made morally right from all that is wrong—in a way that you could never be set right by the law of Moses.
A me pan poson i, nan i me pungalar sang meakaros, me komail sota kak pung kila kapung en Moses.
40 Make sure that what the prophets said doesn't happen to you:
Ari, komail kalaka, pwe a depa pwai ong komail, me saukop akan masanier:
41 ‘You who are scornful, look in amazement, and die! For what I'm doing in your lifetime is something that you could never believe, even if someone told you!’”
Kilang, komail me kin lalaue, puriamuiki o soredi, pwe I pan wia dodok eu ni omail ansau, me komail sota pan kamelele, ma amen pan kasokasoi ong komail due.
42 As they were leaving, the people pleaded with them to tell them more the next Sabbath.
Irail lao pedoi sang ap poekipoeki, kasoi pukat en kalok ong irail ni ran en sapat kokodo.
43 After the meeting in the synagogue, many of the Jews and the converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas who spoke with them, encouraging them to continue to hold on to the grace of God.
A saraui lao nikier, men Sus o Proselit lelapok toto idauenla Paulus o Parnapas, me mamasani ong irail o panaui irail, ren podidi ong mak en Kot.
44 The following Sabbath almost the whole town turned out to hear the word of God.
A ni sapat kokodo karos toun kanim o pokon pena, pwen rong masan en Kot.
45 However, when the Jews saw the crowds, they became extremely jealous, contradicting what Paul was saying and cursing him.
A Sus akan lao kilanger pokon o, ap pepeirinki o lidere meakan, me Paulus kaweweda; re palian o lalaue.
46 So Paul and Barnabas spoke out strongly, saying “We had to speak the word of God to you first. But now that you're rejecting it—you're deciding that you're not worthy of eternal life—well now we're turning to the foreigners. (aiōnios g166)
A Paulus o Parnapas ap so masak katitiki: Masan en Kot en loki dong komail mas, a pweki omail kase sang, o wia kin komail sowar ong maur soutuk, kilang, se sope wei ong men liki kan. (aiōnios g166)
47 That's what the Lord has told us to do: ‘I've made you a light to the foreigners, and through you salvation will go to the ends of the earth.’”
Pwe iet duen me Kaun o kotin masani ong kit: Ngai me kasapwil uk adar, pwen marain pan men liki kan, pwe koe en kamaur sili lel sap karos.
48 When the foreigners heard this they were overjoyed, praising the Lord's word, and all those chosen for eternal life trusted in God. (aiōnios g166)
Men liki kan lao rongadar met, ap peren kidar, o kapinga masan en Kot o karos, me kileledi ong maur soutuk, posonlar. (aiōnios g166)
49 So God's word was spread throughout the region.
A masan en Kaun o lolok sili nan wei kan karos.
50 But the Jews incited the prominent religious women and leaders of the city to persecute Paul and Barnabas, and had them expelled from their territory.
A Sus oko kamakarada li saupeidi lelapok o saumas en kanim kan, o kapei ong Paulus o Parnapas aramas o kasapoke ir sang nan sap arail,
51 So they shook the dust off their feet against them as a sign of protest, and went on to Iconium.
A ira sipede sang ni aluwilu ar pwel, pwen kadede ong irail, ap kotilan Ikonien.
52 And the believers continued to be filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
A tounpadak kan me dir kila peren o Ngen saraui.
