Acts 16
1 Paul [and Silas] to Derbe [city and visited the believers there]. Next [they went to] Lystra [city]. A believer whose name was Timothy lived there. His mother was a Jewish believer, but his father was a Greek.
Bolo da asili, Debe moilaiga doaga: le, yolesili asili, Lisadala moilaiga doaga: i. Amo moilai ganodini Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu dunu ea dio amo Dimodi esalu. Ea ame da Gode Ea hou lalegagui Yu uda esalu, be ea ada da Galigi dunu.
2 The believers in Lystra and Iconium said good things about Timothy,
Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu fi dunu Lisadala amola Aigouniame moilai amo ganodini esalu, ilia huluane da Dimodi ea hou hahawane ba: i.
3 and Paul wanted to take Timothy with him [when he went] to other places, so he circumcised Timothy. [He did that so that] the Jews who lived in those places [would accept Timothy], because they knew that his non-Jewish father [had not allowed him to be circumcised] {[anyone to circumcise his son]}.
Bolo da Dimodi sigi masunu dawa: beba: le, ea gadofo damui. Yu dunu huluane amo soge ganodini ilia Dimodi eda da Galigi dunu dawa: i. Amo dawa: beba: le, e da Dimodi ea gadofo damui.
4 [So Timothy went with Paul and Silas] and they traveled to many other towns. [In each town] they told [the] believers the rules that had been decided by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem {that the apostles and elders in Jerusalem had decided} that [non-Jewish] believers should obey.
Ilia moilai enoma enoma asili, ilia da Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu fi dunuma, Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade fi, asunasi dunu amola sese asigilai dunu ilia fofada: su liligi olelei. Amola amo sema nabawane hamoma: ne sia: i.
5 [God was helping] the believers in those towns to trust more strongly [in the Lord Jesus], and every day more people became believers.
Amaiba: le, sese fi dunu ilia dafawaneyale dawa: su hou da asigilalu. Eno dunu da ilima gilisiba: le, ilia idi da bagade heda: su.
6 Paul and his companions wanted/planned to enter Asia [province] preach the message [about Jesus] there, but they were prevented by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit prevented them} [from going there. So] they traveled through Phrygia and Galatia [provinces].
Gode Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa Gala da ilima amo A: isia soge ganodini Gode Sia: olelemu da logo hame gala, olelei. Amaiba: le, ilia Falidia amola Gala: isia, amo soge ganodini lalu.
7 They arrived at the border of Mysia [province] and they wanted to go [north] Bithynia [province]. But [again] the Spirit of Jesus showed them that they should not [go there].
Ilia Misia soge alalo amoga doaga: le, ilia Bidinia soge ganodini masunu dawa: i galu. Be Yesu Gelesu Ea A: silibu Hadigidafa Gala da logo hame gala olelebeba: le, yolesi.
8 So they went through Mysia [province] and arrived at Troas, a [port city. I, Luke, joined them there].
Amaiba: le, ilia Misia soge baligili, Daloua: se moilai bai bagadega doaga: i.
9 That night [God gave] Paul a vision in which he saw a man [who was a native] of Macedonia [province]. He was standing [some distance away], and he was earnestly calling to Paul, “[Please] come over [here] to Macedonia and help us!”
Amo gasiga, Bolo da ea asigi dawa: su ganodini esalawane ba: i. E da Ma: sidounia dunu lelu ema ha: giwane agoane adole ba: lalebe ba: i, “Nini fidimusa: , Ma: sidounia sogega misa!” agoane ba: i.
10 [The next morning] we [(exc)] immediately got ready to go to Macedonia, because we believed that God had called us to [go and] preach the good message to the people there.
Bolo da amo esalu ba: su ba: beba: le, ninia da Ma: sidounia sogega masa: ne momagei. Bai Gode da nini amo dunuma Ea Sia: Ida: iwane olelema: ne ninima wei dagoi, ninia dawa: i.
11 So we [(exc)] got on a ship in Troas and sailed across [the sea] Samothrace [Island. We spent the night there], and the next day [we sailed again across the sea and arrived] at Neapolis [port/town].
Daloua: se moilai bai bagade yolesili, ninia foga ahoasu dusagai amo ganodini fila heda: le, moloiwane asili, Sa: moudala: isi oga amoga doaga: le, golale, asili, Nia: boulisi moilai bai bagadega doaga: i.
12 Then we [left Neapolis and] went [by land] to Philippi. It was a very important city in Macedonia [province, where many] Roman citizens lived. We stayed in Philippi several days.
Dusagai fisili, ninia soge amo golili, Filibai moilaiga doaga: i. Filibai da Ma: sidounia soge amo ganodini bisili moilai dialu. Louma gamane da amo moilai ouligisu. Amo ganodini ninia eso bagahame agoane esalu.
13 On the first (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) [after we(exc) arrived], we went outside the city gate [down] to the river. We had heard [someone say] that [Jewish] people gathered to pray there. [When we arrived there, we saw] some women who had gathered [to pray]. So we sat down and began to tell them [the message about Jesus].
Sa: bade esoga ninia moilai yolesili gadili asili, Yu dunu ilia hano bega: Godema sia: ne gadomusa: gilisisu amo ninia dawa: beba: le, amo sogebi hogolalu. Uda da gilisibi ba: loba, ninia amola fili, ilima sia: dasu.
14 A woman whose name was Lydia was one of those who were listening [to Paul. She was a non-Jewish woman], from Thyatira [city, who bought and] sold [expensive] purple cloth. She had accepted what the Jews believe about God. The Lord [God] caused her to pay attention to the message that Paul preached, and she believed it. [The members of her household also heard the good message and believed in Jesus] [MTY].
Amo uda gilisisu da ninia sia: nabi. Uda afae ea dio amo Lidia. E da Daiadaila esalu uda, amola ea hawa: hamosu da abula ogaiyei bidi lasu. E da Godema nodosu hou hanai galu. Amalalu, Bolo da sia: beba: le, Hina Gode da Lidia ea dogo ganodini olelebeba: le, e Bolo ea sia: hanaiwane nababeba: le, lalegagui.
15 After [Paul and Silas] baptized Lydia and the others who lived in her house [MTY] {After Lydia and the others who lived in her house were baptized}, she invited us to [go and stay in] her home. She said, “You [(pl)] know that I [now] believe in the Lord [Jesus], so [please] come and stay in my house.” She persuaded us [to do that, so we(exc) stayed there].
E amola dunu amola uda, huluane ea diasu ganodini esalu, da hanoga fane sanasinanu, e ninima amane sia: i, “Na da Yesu Gelesu Ea hou moloiwane lalegagui dagoi amo dilia dafawaneyale dawa: i galea, na diasuga ouesalumusa: misa.” E da ninima ha: giwane adole ba: beba: le, ninia da ea diasuga ouesalumusa: asi.
16 Another day, while we [(exc)] were going to the place where people regularly gathered to pray, we met a young woman who was a slave. An evil spirit was enabling her to be a ventriloquist and to tell people what would happen [to them]. People paid a lot of money to [the men who were] her owners, in return for her telling them things that [she said] would happen [to them].
Eso afaega, ninia sia: ne gadosu sogebi doaga: musa: ahoanoba, muniga bidi lai udigili hawa: hamosu a: fini da ninima doaga: i. Ea dogo ganodini Fio mano aligila sa: iba: le, amo ea gasaga e da ba: la: lusu hou hamosu. E da fa: no misunu hou eno dunuma olelebeba: le, ilia da muni bagade amo a: fini ea ouligisu dunuma iasu.
17 This young woman followed Paul and the rest of us. She continually shouted, “These men serve the God who is the greatest [of all gods]! They are telling you how ([God] can save you [so that he will not punish you/to be] saved)”
E da Bolo amola ninima fa: no bobogele, bagadewane amane wele sia: nanu, “Amo dunu da ‘gode’ huluanema baligisu Gode, amo Ea hawa: hamosu dunu. Ilia da dilima gaga: su logo olelemu!”
18 She continued to do that for many days. Finally Paul became irritated. So he turned [toward the young woman] and rebuked the evil spirit [that was in her. He said], “By the authority [MTY] of Jesus Christ, I command you [(sg)] to come out of this young woman!” Right away the evil spirit left her.
Amo hou e da eso bagohame amoga hamobeba: le, Bolo da da: i dioi bagade ba: i. E da sinidigili, wadela: i a: silibu amo a: fini ea dogo ganodini esalu amoma amane sia: i, “Yesu Gelesu Ea Dioba: le, di amo a: fini ea dogoga fadegale fasima!” Amogaluwane, Fio liligi da mugului dagoi.
19 And then her owners realized that she could no longer earn money for them [because she could no longer predict what would happen to people, so they were angry]. They grabbed Paul and Silas and forcefully took them to the public square, to [the place where] the government authorities and [a lot of other people were gathered].
Be amo a: fini ea ouligisu dunu da ilia muni lamu logo damui dagoi ba: beba: le, ilia Bolo amola Sailase gagulaligili, fofada: su dunu amo fofada: su soge bidi lama: ne diasu soge amo ganodini dialu, amoga hiouginana asi.
20 The owners [of the young woman] brought Paul and Silas to the city officials and told them, “These men are Jews, and they are greatly troubling [the people in] [MTY] our city.
Ilia da Louma fofada: su dunuma doaga: loba, amane sia: i, “Amo dunu da Yu dunu. Ilia sia: ga gegesu ninia moilai ganodini wili gala: sa.
21 They are teaching that we [(inc)] should follow customs that our laws do not allow us Romans to consider [to be correct] or to obey!”
Ilia hou ninia sema wadela: musa: olelesa. Ninia da Louma fi dunu esala. Amaiba: le ninia da ili hou hamomu amo da hamedei!”
22 Many of the crowd joined [those who were accusing] Paul and Silas, and started beating them. Then the [Roman] authorities commanded [soldiers] to tear the shirts off Paul and Silas and to beat them [with rods/sticks].
Dunu huluane gilisi da amo dunu fidimusa: , Bolo amola Sailase, elama sia: ga gegei. Amalalu, Louma fofada: su dunu da Bolo amola Sailase, ela abula gadelale fadegale fasili, dadi gagui dunu da ela fegasuga fama: ne sia: i.
23 [So the soldiers] beat Paul and Silas vigorously [with rods]. After that, they [took them and] shoved them into the prison. They told the jailer that he should lock them up securely.
Ha: giwane fananu, ilia da ela se dabe iasu diasu ganodini ha: digi. Se dabe iasu diasu ouligisu dunuma logo noga: le ga: sima: ne sia: i.
24 [Because the officials] had [commanded] him [to do that], the jailer shoved Paul and Silas into the cell that was farthest inside. [There, he made them sit down on the floor/ground and stretch out their legs]. Then he fastened their ankles in [grooves] between two large wooden beams, [so that Paul and Silas could not move their legs].
Amo sia: nababeba: le, se dabe iasu diasu ouligisu dunu e da Bolo amola Sailase, se dabe iasu diasu ganodinidafa, amo ganodini sali. Ela mae masa: ne, ela emo e da dioi bagade ifa amo ganodini la: gi.
25 About midnight, Paul and Silas were praying [aloud] and praising God by singing hymns. The [other] prisoners were listening attentively to them.
Gasimogoa, Bolo amola Sailase, Godema sia: ne gadosa amola Gode Ea gesami hea: lalebe ba: i. Eno se dabe iasu diasu ganodini sali dunu huluane da nabalu.
26 Suddenly there was a very strong earthquake. It shook the entire jail [SYN] and its foundation [SYN]. [The earthquake caused] all the doors [of the jail] to open suddenly, and [caused] all the chains that fastened the prisoners to fall off.
Amalaloba, bebeda: nima bagade misi. Gasa bagadeba: le, se dabe iasu diasu amola se dabe iasu diasu lelu soge, da bagadewane ugugui. Hedolowane, se dabe iasu diasu logo huluane doasili, se dabe iasu diasu dunu huluane ili sia: ine la: gi udigili fadegai dagoi ba: i.
27 The jailer woke up and saw that the doors of the jail were open. He thought that the prisoners had escaped. So he pulled out his sword in order to kill himself, [because he knew that the officials would kill him if the prisoners escaped].
Se dabe iasu diasu ouligisu dunu e da nedigili, wa: legadole, logo doasi dagoi ba: beba: le, se dabe iasu diasu sali dunu huluane da hobea: i dagoi, e agoane dawa: i galu. Amaiba: le, ea gobihei bagade duga: le gadole, hi da: i hi gobele medomusa: dawa: i galu.
28 Paul [saw the jailer and] shouted to him, “Do not harm yourself! We [(exc) prisoners] are all here!”
Be Bolo da ema halagala: le amane sia: i, “Dia da: i mae medoma! Ninia huluane guiguda: esala!”
29 The jailer shouted [to someone] to bring torches/lanterns, [and after they brought them], he rushed into the jail and knelt down in front of Paul and Silas. [He was very afraid, so] much so that he was trembling/shaking.
Se dabe iasu diasu ouligisu dunu da ea hawa: hamosu dunu amo ema gamali gaguli misa: ne sia: i. E da se dabe iasu diasu ganodini hehenane, beda: iba: le e da Bolo amola Sailase, amo ela emo gadenenewane yaguguli diasa: i.
30 Then he brought Paul and Silas out [of the jail] and asked: “Sirs, what do I need to do to be saved [from being punished for my sins]?”
Amalalu, e da ela lobolele gadili oule asili, elama adole ba: i, “Ada! Na gaga: ma: ne adi hamoma: bela: ?”
31 [They answered], “Trust in [what] the Lord Jesus [has done for you], and you will be saved {[God] will save you}, and the others who live in [MTY] your house will [also] be saved [if they believe in Jesus].”
Ela bu adole i, “Di da Hina Gode Yesu Gelesu dafawaneyale dawa: sea, lalegagusia, di amola dia sosogo fi da gaga: su ba: mu.”
32 Then the jailer took Paul and Silas into his house, washed their wounds, and gave them a meal. [He woke up all the people in his house, and] Paul and Silas told all of them the message about the Lord [Jesus. They all believed in him]. Immediately [after that, the jailer and all his family were baptized] {[Paul and Silas] baptized the jailer and all his family}. They were very happy, because now they all believed in God.
Amalalu ela Gode Ea Sia: Ida: iwane Gala ema amola dunu huluane amo diasu ganodini esalu, ilima olelei.
Amalalu, se dabe iasu diasu ouligisu dunu da ela la: ididili oule asili, ela fa: gi amola fofai dodofei. E amola ea sosogo fi, huluane gilisili hanoga fane sanasi.

35 The next morning, the [Roman] officials commanded [some] police officers [to go to the jail to say to the jailer], “[Our bosses] say, ‘Let those [two] prisoners go [now]!’”
Golale hahabe, Louma Gamane fofada: su dunu da dadi gagui dunu se dabe iasu diasu ouligisu dunuma, Bolo amola Sailase, gadili masa: ne se dabe iasu diasu logo doasima: ne sia: musa: asunasi.
36 [After the officers went and told that to] the jailer, he [went and] told Paul, “The [Roman] authorities have sent a message [(sg)] saying that I should release you [(sg)] and Silas [from prison]. So you [two] can leave [the jail] now. Now you can go peacefully!”
Amaiba: le, se dabe iasu diasu ouligisu dunu da Boloma amane sia: i, “Fofada: su dunu da di amola Sailase masa: ne, se dabe iasu diasu logo doasima, amo adomusa: , dunu asunasi dagoi. Amaiba: le, alia wali olofoiwane masunu da defea.”
37 But Paul said to the police officers, “The authorities [commanded men to] beat us in front of a crowd before [those authorities] had learned if we [(exc)] had done anything wrong! Then they [ordered men to] shove us into jail! [But that was not legal, because] we [(exc)] are Roman citizens! And now they want [RHQ] to send us away secretly! We will not accept that! Those [Roman] officials must come themselves and [tell us that they are sorry], and take us out [of jail].”
Be Bolo da dadi gagui dunuma amane adole i, “Ilia da ania da wadela: i hou hamoi hamedafa ba: i. Be ilia dunu huluane ba: ma: ne, ani bagade fasu. Ania amola da Louma fi dunu esala. Amalalu, ilia ani se dabe iasu diasu ganodini ha: digi. Be wali ilia ani wamowane gadili asunasimusa: dawa: sa. Hame mabu! Louma fofada: su dunu ilisu misini, asigiwane ani se dabe iasu diasu logo ilisu doasimu da defea!”
38 So the police officers [went and] told the city authorities [what Paul had said]. When those authorities heard that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens, they were afraid [that someone would report to more important officials what they had done, and as a result they would be punished] {[those officials would punish them]}.
Dadi gagui dunu da buhagili, Louma fofada: su dunuma amo sia: olelei. Bolo amola Sailase da Louma fi dunu, amo sia: nababeba: le, ilia bagadewane beda: i galu.
39 So the city authorities came to Paul and Silas and told them that they were sorry for what they had done to them. The authorities brought them out of the jail, and repeatedly asked them to leave the city [soon].
Amaiba: le, ilia elama asili, elama asigi sia: sia: i. Amalalu, ela ilia lobolele, se dabe iasu diasu fisili, asigiwane eno diasuga masa: ne sia: i.
40 After Paul and Silas left the jail, they went to Lydia’s house. There they met with her and the [other] believers. They encouraged the believers [to continue trusting in the Lord Jesus], and then the two apostles left [Philippi].
Be Bolo amola Sailase, da se dabe iasu diasu fisili, Lidia ea diasuga asi. Amoga ela Yesu Ea fa: no bobogesu fi dunu yosia: le, ilima fidisu asigi sia: sia: nanu, fisili asi.
