Orekma 13

1 Oasr kutu mwet palu ac mwet luti in church Antioch — inelos pa Barnabas, Simeon (su pangpang Sroalsroal), Lucius (sie mwet Cyrene), Manaen (su srikyak yorol Governor Herod), ac Saul.

And there were certain in Antioch, in the assembly there, prophets and teachers; both Barnabas, and Simeon who is called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen also — Herod the tetrarch's foster-brother — and Saul;

2 Ke elos kulansap nu sin Leum ac lalo, Ngun Mutal fahk nu selos, “Srella Barnabas ac Saul nu sik eltal in oru orekma su nga pangnoltal nu kac.”

and in their ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, 'Separate ye to me both Barnabas and Saul to the work to which I have called them,'

3 Elos lalo ac pre, na elos filiya paolos facltal ac supwaltalla.

then having fasted, and having prayed, and having laid the hands on them, they sent [them] away.

4 Ke Ngun Mutal supwalla Barnabas ac Saul, eltal som nwe Seleucia, ac kal we lac nu Cyprus.

These, indeed, then, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, thence also they sailed to Cyprus,

5 Ke eltal sun siti Salamis, eltal fahkak kas lun God in iwen lolngok lun mwet Jew we. John Mark el welultal in kasreltal.

and having come unto Salamis, they declared the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews, and they had also John [as] a ministrant;

6 Eltal fahsr sasla fin tuka sac nwe ke eltal sun siti Paphos, ac sun sie mwet susfa pangpang Bar-Jesus. El sie mwet Jew, ac el sifacna fahk mu el mwet palu se.

and having gone through the island unto Paphos, they found a certain magian, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name [is] Bar-Jesus;

7 El kawuk nu sin governor lun tuka sac su pangpang Sergius Paulus, sie mwet na lalmwetmet. Governor el pangnolma Barnabas ac Saul nu ye mutal, mweyen el ke lohng ke kas lun God.

who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man; this one having called for Barnabas and Saul, did desire to hear the word of God,

8 Tusruktu mwet susfa sac (su pangpang Elymas in kas Greek) el lainultal, ac el srike elan kifasulla governor liki moul in lulalfongi uh.

and there withstood them Elymas the magian — for so is his name interpreted — seeking to pervert the proconsul from the faith.

9 Na Saul (su pangpang pac Paul) el sessesla ke Ngun Mutal, ac el ngetang suiya mwet susfa sac

And Saul — who also [is] Paul — having been filled with the Holy Spirit, and having looked stedfastly on him,

10 ac fahk, “Kom wen nutin Devil! Kom mwet lokoalok lun ma nukewa ma wo uh. Kom nwanala na ke kain kutasrik koluk nukewa, ac pacl nukewa kom srike in ekulla ma pwaye lun God nu ke ma kikiap!

said, 'O full of all guile, and all profligacy, son of a devil, enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease perverting the right ways of the Lord?

11 Poun Leum God ac fah putati nu fom ingena. Kom ac fah kunla, ac tia ku in liye kalem lun len uh nwe ke sie pacl God El ac fah pakiya.” In pacl sacna Elymas el pulauk ohk se fahsryak kosrala mutal, ac el forfor suk sie mwet ah in pwanul.

and now, lo, a hand of the Lord [is] upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season;' and presently there fell upon him a mist and darkness, and he, going about, was seeking some to lead [him] by the hand;

12 Ke governor el liye ma sikyak inge, na el lulalfongila, ac el arulana lut ke mwe luti ke Leum Jesus.

then the proconsul having seen what hath come to pass, did believe, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

13 Paul ac mwet ma welul eltal kal som Paphos lac nu Perga, sie siti in acn Pamphylia. John Mark el tuh folokla Perga lac nu Jerusalem.

And those about Paul having set sail from Paphos, came to Perga of Pamphylia, and John having departed from them, did turn back to Jerusalem,

14 Eltal som Perga lac nu Antioch in Pisidia, ac ke len Sabbath eltal som nu in iwen lolngok ac muta.

and they having gone through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia, and having gone into the synagogue on the sabbath-day, they sat down,

15 Tukun ritiyuk tari kutu Ma Sap lal Moses ac kutu ma simusla lun mwet palu, mwet kol lun iwen lolngok uh supwala kas nu seltal ac fahk, “Mwet lili, kut lungse kowos in kaskas nu sin mwet uh, fin oasr kas in akkeye lowos nu selos.”

and after the reading of the law and of the prophets, the chief men of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, 'Men, brethren, if there be a word in you of exhortation unto the people — say on.'

16 Paul el tuyak, sralak paol mwet uh in misla, na el mutawauk in kaskas. El fahk, “Mwet Israel wiuk, oayapa mwet saya nukewa su alu nu sin God: kowos porongeyu!

And Paul having risen, and having beckoned with the hand, said, 'Men, Israelites, and those fearing God, hearken:

17 God lun mwet Israel El tuh sulela mwet matu lasr meet, ac oru tuh elos in sie mutunfacl ke elos tuh moul in mwetsac in facl Egypt. God El tuh usalosla liki acn Egypt ke ku lulap lal,

the God of this people Israel did choose our fathers, and the people He did exalt in their sojourning in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm did He bring them out of it;

18 ac ke yac angngaul, El mutangalos in acn mwesis.

and about a period of forty years He did suffer their manners in the wilderness,

19 El kunausla mutunfacl itkosr in facl Canaan, ac sang acn inge tuh in ma lac lun mwet lal. Ma inge nukewa orekla ke inmasrlon yac angfoko lumngaul.

and having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He did divide by lot to them their land.

20 “Tukun ma inge, El sang tuh mwet nununku in kololos nwe ke sun pacl lal Samuel, mwet palu.

'And after these things, about four hundred and fifty years, He gave judges — till Samuel the prophet;

21 Toko, elos siyuk ke sie tokosra, ac God El eisalang Saul, wen natul Kish in sou lal Benjamin, elan tokosra lalos ke lusen yac angngaul.

and thereafter they asked for a king, and God did give to them Saul, son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years;

22 Tukun God El sisella Saul, God El akleumyalak David elan tokosra lalos. Pa inge ma God El fahk kacl: ‘Nga konauk lah David, wen natul Jesse, el kain mwet se ma nga insewowo se, su ac oru ma nukewa ma nga lungse elan oru uh.’

and having removed him, He did raise up to them David for king, to whom also having testified, he said, I found David, the [son] of Jesse, a man according to My heart, who shall do all My will.

23 Jesus, sin fwilin tulik natul David, pa God El tuh orala in Mwet Lango nu sin mwet Israel uh, oana ke El tuh wulela kac ah.

'Of this one's seed God, according to promise, did raise to Israel a Saviour — Jesus,

24 Meet liki Jesus el mutawauk orekma lal, John el tuh luti nu sin mwet Israel nukewa lah enenu elos in forla liki ma koluk lalos ac baptaisla.

John having first preached, before his coming, a baptism of reformation to all the people of Israel;

25 Ac ke apkuran in safla orekma lal John, el tuh fahk nu sin mwet uh, ‘Kowos nunku mu su nga uh? Tia nga pa el su kowos soano uh. A kowos in porongo! El ac tuku tukuk, ac nga kupansuwol in sarukla fahluk lal uh.’

and as John was fulfilling the course, he said, Whom me do ye suppose to be? I am not [he], but, lo, he doth come after me, of whom I am not worthy to loose the sandal of [his] feet.

26 “Mwet Israel wiuk su fwilin tulik natul Abraham, ac mwet saya nukewa lohm uh su alu nu sin God: pweng ke molela se inge ma nu sesr nukewa!

'Men, brethren, sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you fearing God, to you was the word of this salvation sent,

27 Tuh mwet ma muta Jerusalem, ac oayapa mwet kol lalos, tiana etu lah el pa Mwet Lango, ac elos tia pac kalem ke kas lun mwet palu ma ritiyuk ke Sabbath nukewa uh. Ne ouinge a elos oru tuh kas lun mwet palu akpwayeiyuk ke elos unilya Jesus.

for those dwelling in Jerusalem, and their chiefs, this one not having known, also the voices of the prophets, which every sabbath are being read — having judged [him] — did fulfil,

28 Ac elos finne tia konauk kutena sripa fal in anwuki el kac, a elos kwafe sel Pilate elan unilya.

and no cause of death having found, they did ask of Pilate that he should be slain,

29 Ac tukun elos orala ma nukewa su Ma Simusla uh fahk kacl, elos eisya manol liki sakseng, ac fililya in kulyuk uh.

and when they did complete all the things written about him, having taken [him] down from the tree, they laid him in a tomb;

30 Tusruktu God El akmoulyalak liki misa,

and God did raise him out of the dead,

31 ac ke len pus, el sikyang nu sin mwet su tuh welul in fufahsryesr lal Galilee me nu Jerusalem. Inge elos mwet loh kacl nu sin mwet Israel.

and he was seen for many days of those who did come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.

32 Ac kut tuku in use Pweng Wo ma God El tuh wulela nu sin mwet matu lasr meet ah,

'And we to you do proclaim good news — that the promise made unto the fathers,

33 ac inge El akpwayei nu sesr su ma natulos, ke El akmoulyalak Jesus. Oana ma simla in Psalm luo uh, su fahk, ‘Kom wen nutik; Misenge nga papala tomom.’

God hath in full completed this to us their children, having raised up Jesus, as also in the second Psalm it hath been written, My Son thou art — I to-day have begotten thee.

34 Ac pa inge ma God El fahk ke El ac akmoulyalak liki misa uh, tuh elan tia kulawi in kulyuk uh: ‘Nga fah sot nu sum mwe insewowo mutal ac pwaye Su nga tuh wulela kac nu sel David.’

'And that He did raise him up out of the dead, no more to return to corruption, he hath said thus — I will give to you the faithful kindnesses of David;

35 Aok, El oayapa fahk ke sie pac verse ma fahk mu, ‘Kom fah tia lela mwet kulansap oaru lom in kulawi in kulyuk uh.’

wherefore also in another [place] he saith, Thou shalt not give Thy kind One to see corruption,

36 Tuh ke pacl David el moul el akfalye ma lungse lun God, na el misa, ac pukpuki el yurin mwet matu lal, ac manol kulawi in kulyuk uh.

for David, indeed, his own generation having served by the will of God, did fall asleep, and was added unto his fathers, and saw corruption,

37 Tusruktu el su God El akmoulyauk liki misa, el tia wi kulawi.

but he whom God did raise up, did not see corruption.

38 Ke ma inge, mwet Israel wiuk, lela in arulana kalem suwos lah nunak munas ke ma koluk su kut fahkak nu suwos uh, ma tuku ke mwet se inge, Jesus.

'Let it therefore be known to you, men, brethren, that through this one to you is the forgiveness of sins declared,

39 Kowos in etu pac lah mwet nukewa su lulalfongi in el, elos sukosokla liki ma koluk nukewa su Ma Sap lal Moses uh tia ku in aksukosokyekowosla liki.

and from all things from which ye were not able in the law of Moses to be declared righteous, in this one every one who is believing is declared righteous;

40 Ke ma inge kowos liyekowosyang tuh kas inge ma fwackyak sin mwet palu fah tia tuku nu fowos:

see, therefore, it may not come upon you that hath been spoken in the prophets:

41 ‘Ngetma, kowos su aksruksrukye God! Kowos in lut ac misa! Tuh ma nga oru misenge ye motowos, Sie ma su kowos ac tia ku in lulalfongi Mwet finne aketeya nu suwos!’”

See, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish, because a work I — I do work in your days, a work in which ye may not believe, though any one may declare [it] to you.'

42 Ke Paul ac Barnabas illa liki iwen lolngok uh, mwet uh kwafe eltal in sifilpa foloko ke Sabbath se tok uh, ac sifilpa akyokye srumunyen ma inge.

And having gone forth out of the synagogue of the Jews, the nations were calling upon [them] that on the next sabbath these sayings may be spoken to them,

43 Tukun mwet uh fahsrelik liki toeni sac, mwet puspis sin mwet Jew ac oayapa mwet saya ma forla ac weang alu lun mwet Jew, elos ukwalla Paul ac Barnabas. Mwet sap uh kaskas nu selos ac akkeyalos elos in oaru na in fungyang nu ke kulang lun God.

and the synagogue having been dismissed, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes did follow Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, were persuading them to remain in the grace of God.

44 Ke Sabbath se tok ah, apkuran mwet nukewa in siti uh tuku in lohng kas lun Leum.

And on the coming sabbath, almost all the city was gathered together to hear the word of God,

45 Ke mwet Jew elos liye pusiyen mwet uh elos sokyak na pwaye. Elos sramsram lainul Paul ac sufanul.

and the Jews having seen the multitudes, were filled with zeal, and did contradict the things spoken by Paul — contradicting and speaking evil.

46 Ne ouinge a fahkak lal Paul ac Barnabas arulana pulaik liki meet ah, ac eltal fahk: “Kowos pa kut enenu na in fahkak kas lun God nu se oemeet. Tuh ke kowos pilesru ac sifacna nunku mu kowos sufal in eis moul ma pahtpat, kut ac fahsr liki kowos ac som nu yurin mwet pegan uh. (aiōnios g166)

And speaking boldly, Paul and Barnabas said, 'To you it was necessary that first the word of God be spoken, and seeing ye do thrust it away, and do not judge yourselves worthy of the life age-during, lo, we do turn to the nations; (aiōnios g166)

47 Tuh pa inge ma Leum God El sapkin nu sesr: ‘Nga oakikomi tuh kom in sie kalem se nu sin mwet pegan, Tuh faclu nufon fah ku in moliyukla.’”

for so hath the Lord commanded us: I have set thee for a light of nations — for thy being for salvation unto the end of the earth.'

48 Ke mwet pegan elos lohng, elos arulana engan ac kaksakin pweng wo lun God; ac elos su solla tari nu ke moul ma pahtpat elos mwet lulalfongila. (aiōnios g166)

And the nations hearing were glad, and were glorifying the word of the Lord, and did believe — as many as were appointed to life age-during; (aiōnios g166)

49 Kas lun Leum uh fahsrelik in acn nukewa in polo acn sac.

and the word of the Lord was spread abroad through all the region.

50 Tusruktu mwet Jew elos purakak nunak lun mwet kol in siti sac, oayapa mutan kacto sin mwet pegan su wi pac alu nu sin God uh. Elos mutawauk in kalyael Paul ac Barnabas, ac luselosla liki acn selos uh.

And the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the first men of the city, and did raise persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and did put them out from their borders;

51 Na mwet sap uh osrokla kutkut ke nialos in akkalemye lah elos lain mwet in acn sac, na elos som nu Iconium.

and they having shaken off the dust of their feet against them, came to Iconium,

52 Mwet lulalfongi in Antioch elos arulana sessesla ke engan ac ke Ngun Mutal.

and the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.
