1After we had torn ourselves away from them, we sailed directly to Cos, and the next day on to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
1Kut wilkas nu selos ac oayak. Ke kut kal suwosla liki acn we kut sun acn Cos, ac len tok ah kut oai Rhodes, ac sifil kalla nu Patara.
2Finding a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we boarded it and set sail.
2Ke kut sun acn we, kut konauk lah oasr oak soko ac som nwe Phoenicia, na kut sroang wela.
3After sighting Cyprus and passing south of it, we sailed on to Syria and landed at Tyre, where the ship was to unload its cargo.
3Kut kal nwe ke kut liyauk acn Cyprus, na kut ut layen nu eir in Cyprus ac kalla nu Syria. Kut srola Tyre, yen ma koanon oak uh ah titila we.
4We sought out the disciples in Tyre and stayed with them seven days. Through the Spirit they kept telling Paul not to go up to Jerusalem.
4Kut konauk kutu mwet lulalfongi in acn we, ac muta yorolos ke wik se. Ke ku lun Ngun Mutal elos fahkang nu sel Paul elan tia som nu Jerusalem.
5But when our time there had ended, we set out on our journey. All the disciples, with their wives and children, accompanied us out of the city and knelt down on the beach to pray with us.
5Na ke safla wik sac, kut mukuiyak in som. Elos nukewa, wi mutan kialos ac tulik natulos, wi kut som liki siti uh nu wekof ah, ac kut nukewa sikukmutunteiyak ac pre.
6And after we had said our farewells, we went aboard the ship, and they returned home.
6Kut wilkas nu sin sie sin sie, na kut sroak nu fin oak uh, ac elos folokla nu yen selos.
7When we had finished our voyage from Tyre, we landed at Ptolemais, where we greeted the brothers and stayed with them for a day.
7Ke kut kalot liki acn Tyre kut sun acn Ptolemais, ac kut paing mwet lulalfongi in acn we, ac muta yorolos len se.
8Leaving the next day, we went on to Caesarea and stayed at the home of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the Seven.
8In len tok ah kut som ac sun acn Caesarea, ac kut tuh muta in lohm sel Philip, mwet fahkak ke Pweng Wo, su sie sin mwet itkosr ma tuh solla mwet kasru in Jerusalem.
9He had four unmarried daughters who prophesied.
9Oasr mutan fusr lolap akosr natul, su wi pac fahkak kas lun God.
10After we had been there several days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
10Kut muta we ke kutu len, na mwet palu se pangpang Agabus el tuku Judea me.
11Coming over to us, he took Paul’s belt, bound his own feet and hands, and said, “The Holy Spirit says: ‘In this way the Jews of Jerusalem will bind the owner of this belt and hand him over to the Gentiles.’”
11El tuku nu yorosr, eisla ma losyen infulwal Paul ac sifacna sang kapriya paol ac nial kac. Na el fahk, “Pa inge ma Ngun Mutal fahk: Mwet Jew in acn Jerusalem elos ac fah kapriya mwet se la mwe lohl se inge uh in lumah se inge, na elos ac fah eisalang nu inpoun mwet pegan.”
12When we heard this, we and the people there pleaded with Paul not to go up to Jerusalem.
12Ke kut lohng ma inge, kut ac mwet wiasr in acn sac, tukeni kwafe na sel Paul elan tia som nu Jerusalem.
13Then Paul answered, “Why are you weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
13A el topuk ac fahk, “Mea kowos oru an ku kowos tung ouingan, ac aktoasrye insiuk? Nga akola tari in kapiri in acn Jerusalem, ac nga akola pac in misa we ke sripen Leum Jesus.”
14When he would not be dissuaded, we fell silent and said, “The Lord’s will be done.”
14Kut tia ku in furokla nunak lal ah, pwanang kut tari fuhleak ac fahk, “Kut pre tuh ma lungse lun Leum in orek.”
15After these days, we packed up and went on to Jerusalem.
15Tukun kut muta we ke kutu pacl, kut apweni ma lasr ac som nu Jerusalem.
16Some of the disciples from Caesarea accompanied us, and they took us to stay at the home of Mnason the Cypriot, an early disciple.
16Kutu sin mwet lulalfongi ma tuku Caesarea me elos wi kut pac som, ac pwenkutla nu ke lohm sin mwet se ma kut ac muta yoro ah — inel pa Mnason, sie mwet Cyprus, su nuna sie mwet lulalfongi emeet me.
17When we arrived in Jerusalem, the brothers welcomed us joyfully.
17Ke kut sun acn Jerusalem, mwet lulalfongi in acn we arulana engan in paing kut.
18The next day Paul went in with us to see James, and all the elders were present.
18Ke len tok ah Paul el wi kut som in osun yorol James; ac mwet kol nukewa lun church muta we.
19Paul greeted them and recounted one by one the things that God had done among the Gentiles through his ministry.
19Paul el paingulos, na el fahkak ke ma nukewa ma God El kasrel in oru ke pacl el orekma inmasrlon mwet pegan uh.
20When they heard this, they glorified God. Then they said to Paul, “You see, brother, how many thousands of Jews have believed, and all of them are zealous for the law.
20Tukun elos lohng ma el fahk, elos nukewa kaksakin God. Na elos fahk, “Paul, mwet lili lasr, kom ku in liye lah tausin puspis sin mwet Jew elos wela lulalfongi, ac elos arulana moniyuk in akos Ma Sap uh.
21But they are under the impression that you teach all the Jews who live among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children or observe our customs.
21Fwackyang tari nu selos lah kom luti mwet Jew nukewa su muta in facl sin mwet pegan uh elos in sisla Ma Sap lal Moses, ac kom fahk tuh elos in tia kosrala tulik natulos, ku fahsr tukun ouiya lun mwet Jew uh.
22What then should we do? They will certainly hear that you have come.
22Kalem lah elos lohng tari lah kom sun acn inge. Na mea ac orek uh?
23Therefore do what we advise you. There are four men with us who have taken a vow.
23Pa inge ma kut lungse kom in oru uh. Oasr mwet akosr inmasrlosr su orala wulela ku nu sin God.
24Take these men, purify yourself along with them, and pay their expenses so they can have their heads shaved. Then everyone will know that there is no truth to these rumors about you, but that you also live in obedience to the law.
24Welulos som ac tukeni wi alu in aknasnas, ac sang molin kalkul lalos, na elos fah ku in mangsrasrala. Kom fin oru ouinge, na mwet nukewa ac fah etu lah tiana pwaye kas elos lohng mu kom fahk uh, ac lah kom moul fal nu ke Ma Sap lal Moses uh.
25As for the Gentile believers, we have written to them our decision that they must abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals, and from sexual immorality.”
25A funu mwet pegan ma wela lulalfongi uh, kut supwala leta se nu selos ac fahk lah kut wotela mu elos in tia kang kutena mwe mongo ma kisala nu sin ma sruloala, ku kutena srah, ku kosro ma loksakiyuki, ac elos in liyalosyang liki ouiya fohkfok lun mwet kosro.”
26So the next day Paul took the men and purified himself along with them. Then he entered the temple to give notice of the date when their purification would be complete and the offering would be made for each of them.
26Na Paul el eis mwet akosr inge, ac ke len tok ah el orala alu in aknasnas yorolos. Na el som nu in Tempul ac akkalemye len lula in safla pacl in aknasnas uh, na fah pacl in orek kisa ke kais sie selos.
27When the seven days were almost over, some Jews from the province of Asia saw Paul at the temple. They stirred up the whole crowd and seized him,
27Tusruktu ke fahsr in safla len in aknasnas itkosr ah, na kutu mwet Jew su tuku Asia me elos liyalak Paul in Tempul uh. Elos purakak insien mwet puspis, ac sruokilya Paul.
28crying out, “Men of Israel, help us! This is the man who teaches everywhere against our people and against our law and against this place. Furthermore, he has brought Greeks into the temple and defiled this holy place.”
28Na elos wowoyak ac fahk, “Mwet Israel, kasrekut! Pa inge mwet se forfor yen nukewa ac luti nu sin mwet nukewa in lain mwet Israel, ac lain Ma Sap lal Moses, ac lain Tempul se inge. Ac inge el use pac mwet pegan nu in Tempul uh ac akfohkfokyela acn mutal se inge!” (
29For they had previously seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they assumed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
29Elos fahk ma inge mweyen elos tuh liyalak Trophimus, sie mwet Ephesus ke el welul Paul in siti uh, ac elos nunku mu Paul el usalak nu in Tempul.)
30The whole city was stirred up, and the people rushed together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple, and at once the gates were shut.
30Fohs lulap sikyak in siti sac nufon, ac mwet uh kasreni nu sie, sruokilya Paul ac amakunulla liki Tempul uh. Na elos sulaklak na kaliya srungul ke Tempul.
31While they were trying to kill him, the commander of the Roman regiment received a report that all Jerusalem was in turmoil.
31Ke un mwet uh srike in unilya Paul, supweyukla kas nu sin leum lun mwet mweun Rome uh, fahk mu acn Jerusalem nufon arulana fohsak.
32Immediately he took some soldiers and centurions and ran down to the crowd. When the people saw the commander and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.
32In pacl sacna leum sac el eis kutu mwet mweun wi mwet kol lalos, ac sulaklak na oatui nu yen lokoalok uh orek we. Ke mwet uh liyal wi mwet mweun uh, elos tila onel Paul.
33The commander came up and arrested Paul, ordering that he be bound with two chains. Then he asked who he was and what he had done.
33Leum sac som nu yorol Paul, sruokilya ac sap kapiri el ke sein lukwa. Na el siyuk, “Su mwet se inge, ac mea el orala uh?”
34Some in the crowd were shouting one thing, and some another. And since the commander could not get at the truth because of the uproar, he ordered that Paul be brought into the barracks.
34Kutu mwet uh wowoyak fahk sie ma, ac kutu fahk kutepacna ma. Yokla fohs uh, oru leum sac tia ku in konauk na pwaye lah mea sikyak uh. Na el sap mwet lal uh in usalak Paul nu ke nien muta ku lun mwet mweun.
35When Paul reached the steps, he had to be carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob.
35Elos usal nwe sun nien fan nu inkul selos uh, na mwet mweun uh sraklalak usal, mweyen arulana upa kasrkusrak lun mwet uh.
36For the crowd that followed him kept shouting, “Away with him!”
36Elos nukewa tuku tokol wowoyak ac fahk, “Unilya!”
37As they were about to take Paul into the barracks, he asked the commander, “May I say something to you?” “Do you speak Greek?” he replied.
37Ke mwet mweun uh akola in usalak Paul nu inkul uh, na Paul el kasla nu sin leum sac ac fahk, “Nga ku in fahk ma se nu sum?” Leum sac siyuk, “Kom etu kas Greek?
38“Aren’t you the Egyptian who incited a rebellion some time ago and led four thousand members of the ‘Assassins’ into the wilderness?”
38Fin angan, kalem lah tia kom pa mwet Egypt se ma tuh oru fohs se nwe pwanla tausin akos mwet akmas nu yen mwesis ah!”
39But Paul answered, “I am a Jew from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no ordinary city. Now I beg you to allow me to speak to the people.”
39Na Paul el fahk, “Nga mwet Jew se. Nga isusla Tarsus, sie siti pwengpeng in acn Cilicia. Nunak munas, lela ngan kaskas nu sin mwet uh.”
40Having received permission, Paul stood on the steps and motioned to the crowd. A great hush came over the crowd, and he addressed them in Hebrew:
40Leum sac fuhlela elan kaskas, na Paul el tu fin nien fan uh, ac kolak paol mwet uh in misla. Ke elos misla, Paul el kaskas nu selos in kas Aramaic.
