Orekma 14
1 Ouiya sacna sikyak pac in Iconium: Paul ac Barnabas som nu iwen lolngok lun mwet Jew, ac ke sripen fahkak laltal uh, mwet puspis sin mwet Jew ac mwet pegan elos weang mwet lulalfongi.
The same thing occurred in Iconium, where Paul and Barnabas went into the Jewish synagogue, and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed in Christ.
2 Tusruktu mwet Jew su tia lulalfongi ke Jesus, elos purakak nunak lun mwet pegan uh elos in forang lain mwet lulalfongi uh.
But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the Gentiles, and poisoned their minds against the Lord’s followers.
3 Mwet sap uh muta we ke pacl na loeloes se, ac elos pulaikna in fahkak ke Leum, su sang ku nu selos in orek mwenmen ac ma usrnguk. Ma inge akpwayeye lah ma elos fahk ke kulang lal uh pwayena.
Therefore Paul and Barnabas spent a long time there, and spoke out fearlessly, relying on the Lord, who confirmed the message of his love by permitting signs and wonders to take place at their hands.
4 Mwet in siti sac nunak luoelik: kutu wi mwet Jew, ac kutu wi mwet sap ah.
But the townspeople were divided, some siding with the Jews, some with the apostles;
5 Na kutu mwet pegan ac kutu mwet Jew, wi mwet kol lalos, elos otela in orek lokoalok nu sin mwet sap uh, ac tanglaltal.
and, when there was an attempt on the part of both Gentiles and Jews, with their leaders, to resort to violence and to stone them,
6 Ke mwet sap elos etauk pwapa se inge, elos kaingla nu in siti Lystra ac Derbe in acn Lycaonia, ac nu in kutu pac acn saya.
the apostles heard of it, and took refuge in Lystra and Derbe, towns in Lycaonia, and in the district round,
7 Ac elos fahkelik Pweng Wo in acn ingo.
and there they continued to tell the good news.
8 Oasr mukul se in acn Lystra su nuna ul nial oe ke el isusla me, ac tia ku in fahsr.
In the streets of Lystra there used to sit a man who had no power in his feet; he had been lame from his birth, and had never walked.
9 El muta porongo kas lal Paul uh. Paul el akilen lah el lulalfongi ac ku in akkeyeyukla, na el ngetang suilya
This man was listening to Paul speaking, when Paul, looking intently at him, and seeing that he had the faith to be healed,
10 ac fahk ke sie pusra lulap, “Tuyak suwohs fin niom!” Na mwet sac tuyak ac mutawauk in fahsr.
said loudly, ‘Stand upright on your feet.’ The man leaped up, and began walking about,
11 Ke un mwet uh liye ma Paul el oru ah, elos wowoyak ke kas lalos Lycaonia, ac fahk, “God uh mwet lac, ac oatui nu yorosr!”
and the crowd, seeing what Paul had done, called out in the Lycaonian language, ‘The Gods have come down to us in human form.’
12 Elos sang inel Barnabas ‘Zeus,’ ac pangnol Paul ‘Hermes,’ mweyen el pa aolultal sramsram.
So they called Barnabas “Zeus,” and Paul “Hermes,” because he took the lead in speaking;
13 Mwet tol lun god Zeus, su tempul lal uh tu na likin siti uh, el us cow mukul ac ros nu mutunpot uh, mweyen el ac un mwet uh kena orek kisa nu sin mwet sap uh.
and the priest of Zeus-beyond-the-Walls, accompanied by the crowd, brought bullocks and garlands to the gates, with the intention of offering sacrifices.
14 Ke Barnabas ac Paul lohngak ma elos ako in oru inge, eltal seya nuknuk laltal uh ac yuyang nu inmasrlon mwet uh, wowoyak ac fahk,
But, when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd. ‘Friends, why are you doing this?’ they shouted.
15 “Efu ku kowos oru ma inge? Mwet pacna pa kut, oapana kowos! Kut tuku nu inge in sulkakin Pweng Wo uh, ac in kifuskowosla liki ma lusrongten inge nu sin God moul, su orala kusrao, faclu, meoa ac ma nukewa loac.
‘We are only people like yourselves, and we have come with the good news that you should turn away from these follies to a living God, who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and everything that is in them.
16 In pacl meet ah, El tuh lela mwet in mutunfacl nukewa in oru na ma elos nunku mu wo.
In bygone times he permitted all the nations to go their own ways.
17 Tusruktu pacl nukewa El nuna akkalemye oasr lal ke ma wo ma El oru uh: El sot nu suwos af inkusrao me, ac fokin ima in pacl fal; El sot mwe mongo nu suwos, ac nakla insiowos ke engan.”
Yet he has not failed to give you, in the good he does, some revelation of himself – sending you from heaven rain and fruitful seasons, and gladdening your hearts with plenty and good cheer.’
18 Eltal nwe fahk kas inge, upa na eltal in kutongya lungse lun mwet uh in orek mwe kisa nu seltal.
Even with this appeal they could hardly restrain the people from offering sacrifice to them.
19 Kutu mwet Jew tuku liki acn Antioch in Pisidia ac Iconium. Elos furokla insien mwet uh in welulosla, na elos tanglal Paul ac amakunulla nu likin siti uh, mweyen elos nunku mu el misa tari.
Presently, however, there came some Jews from Antioch, and Iconium who, after they had won over the people, stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the town, thinking him to be dead.
20 Tusruk ke mwet lulalfongi elos fahsreni raunella, el tuyak ac folokyak nu in siti uh. In len tok ah, el ac Barnabas som nu Derbe.
But, when the disciples had gathered round him, he got up and went back into the town; the next day he went with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 Paul ac Barnabas luti ke Pweng Wo in acn Derbe, ac mwet puspis weang un mwet lulalfongi ke Jesus. Tok eltal som nu Lystra, nu Iconium, ac som pac nwe Antioch in Pisidia.
After telling the good news throughout that town, and making a number of converts, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
22 Eltal akkeye mwet lulalfongi uh, ac kwafe nu selos in tu na ku ke lulalfongi lalos. Eltal fahk nu selos, “Kut enenu in sun mwe keok puspis, na kut fah ku in utyak nu in Tokosrai lun God.”
reassuring the minds of the disciples, urging them to remain true to the faith, and showing that it is only through many troubles that we can enter the kingdom of God.
23 Eltal pakiya mwet kol in kais sie church, ac ke pre ac lalo eltal eisalosyang nu ye karinginyuk lun Leum, su elos filiya lulalfongi lalos se.
They also appointed elders for them in every church, and, after prayer and fasting, commended them to the Lord in whom they had learned to believe.
24 Tukun eltal forfor fin acn nukewa lun Pisidia, eltal tuku nu Pamphylia.
Paul and Barnabas then went through Pisidia, and came into Pamphylia,
25 Ac eltal fahkak pac Pweng Wo in acn Perga, na toko eltal oatula nu Attalia.
and, after telling the message at Perga, went down to Attaleia.
26 Eltal kal ingo lac in folok nu Antioch, acn se ma tuh itukyang eltal nu ye karinginyuk kulang lun God nu ke orekma se su eltal aksafye inge.
From there they sailed to Antioch – the place where they had been committed to the gracious care of God for the work which they had now finished.
27 Ke eltal sun acn Antioch, eltal eisani mwet in church we nu sie, ac fahkang nu selos ma nukewa ma God El kasreltal in oru, ac oayapa ke El ikasla nu sin mwet pegan tuh elos in ku in wi pac lulalfongi.
After their arrival, they gathered the church together, and gave an account of all that God had helped them to do, and especially how he had opened to the Gentiles the door of faith;
28 Na eltal muta yurin mwet lulalfongi in acn we ke lusen pacl na loeloes se.
and at Antioch they stayed with the disciples for a considerable time.
