Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1And he came to Derbe and Lystra. And behold, there was a certain disciple there named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman that believed; but his father was a Gentile.
1Paul el sifilpa som nu Derbe ac Lystra, ac sun sie mwet Christian in acn we su pangpang Timothy. Nina kial el sie mwet Christian, sie mutan Jew, tusruk papa tumal ah mwet Greek.
2To this man the brethren that were in Lystra and Iconium, gave a good testimony.
2Mwet lulalfongi nukewa in acn Lystra ac Iconium elos fahk ma wo kacl Timothy.
3Him Paul would have to go along with him: and taking him he circumcised him, because of the Jews who were in those places. For they all knew that his father was a Gentile.
3Paul el lungse usal Timothy welul, ouinge el kosralla. El oru ouinge mweyen mwet Jew nukewa in acn inge elos etu lah papa tumal Timothy el mwet Greek.
4And as they passed through the cities, they delivered unto them the decrees for to keep, that were decreed by the apostles and ancients who were at Jerusalem.
4Ke elos forfor in siti inge, elos fahkak nu sin mwet lulalfongi we ma mwet sap ac mwet kol lun church in acn Jerusalem elos oakiya mu elos in fahsr kac, ac elos fahk pac nu selos in akos ma sap inge.
5And the churches were confirmed in faith, and increased in number daily.
5Ouinge church uh akkeyeyukla ke lulalfongi lalos, ac puseni mwet in church uh ke len nukewa.
6And when they had passed through Phrygia, and the country of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia.
6Elos fahsr sasla acn Phrygia ac Galatia, mweyen Ngun Mutal tia lela elos in fahkak kas in acn Asia.
7And when they were come into Mysia, they attempted to go into Bythynia, and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not.
7Ke elos sun masrol nu Mysia, elos srike in som nu in acn Bithynia, tusruktu Ngun lun Jesus tia lela.
8And when they had passed through Mysia, they went down to Troas.
8Ke ma inge elos fahsr sasla acn Mysia ac som nu Troas.
9And a vision was shewed to Paul in the night, which was a man of Macedonia standing and beseeching him, and saying: Pass over into Macedonia, and help us.
9Ke fong sac Paul el liye sie aruruma, ac liye sie mwet Macedonia el tu ac kwafe sel ac fahk, “Fahsru nu Macedonia ac kasrekut!”
10And as soon as he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go into Macedonia, being assured that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.
10Tukunna Paul el liye aruruma se inge, na kut akola in som nu Macedonia, mweyen kut liye mu God El pangon kut in luti Pweng Wo nu sin mwet we.
11And sailing from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, and the day following to Neapolis;
11Kut oayak liki acn Troas, ac kal suwoslana nwe Samothrace, ac in len tok ah kut kalla nu Neapolis.
12And from thence to Philippi, which is the chief city of part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were in this city some days conferring together.
12Na kut utyak weyak nu Philippi, sie siti lun mwet Rome in acn Macedonia, ac kut muta we ke kutu len.
13And upon the sabbath day, we went forth without the gate by a river side, where it seemed that there was prayer; and sitting down, we spoke to the women that were assembled.
13Ke len Sabbath kut illa liki siti uh ac som nu pe infacl ah, sie acn ma kut nunku mu ac oasr mwet Jew fahsreni in pre we. Kut muta in acn sac ac sramsram nu sin kutu mutan su tukeni we.
14And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one that worshipped God, did hear: whose heart the Lord opened to attend to those things which were said by Paul.
14Sie sin mutan ma lohng kas lasr uh pa Lydia, sie mutan Thyatira su kukakin nuknuk sroninmutuk. El sie mutan alu nu sin God, ac Leum El ikasla nunak lal elan lohang nu ke ma Paul el fahk uh.
15And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying: If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us.
15Mutan sac ac sou lal elos baptaisla, na el suli kut ac fahk, “Fahsru muta lohm sik ah, kowos fin liye mu nga sie mwet lulalfongi pwaye ke Leum.” Na ke sripen kas lal inge, kut som nu lohm sel.
16And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain girl, having a pythonical spirit, met us, who brought to her masters much gain by divining.
16Sie len ah ke kut fahsr in som nu ke acn in pre, kut sun sie tulik mutan kohs su oasr ngun fohkfok yorol ma oru el ku in palye ma ac sikyak in pacl fahsru uh. Yohk mani el sruokya lun leum lal ah ke sripen palu lal uh.
17This same following Paul and us, cried out, saying: These men are the servants of the most high God, who preach unto you the way of salvation.
17El fahsr tokosr ac Paul, ac wowoyak, “Mwet inge elos mwet kulansap lun God Fulatlana! Elos ac fahkak nu suwos lah kowos ac moliyukla fuka!”
18And this she did many days. But Paul being grieved, turned, and said to the spirit: I command thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to go out from her. And he went out the same hour.
18El oru ouinge ke len na pus, nwe ke na Paul el semutengyak sel, ac tapulla fahk nu sin ngun fohkfok sac, “Ke inen Jesus Christ nga sapkin nu sum, illa lukel!” Ngun sac som lukel in pacl sacna.
19But her masters, seeing that the hope of their gain was gone, apprehending Paul and Silas, brought them into the marketplace to the rulers.
19Ke leum lun mutan sac elos akilenak lah ac wanginla inkanek in orek mani lalos sel, elos sruokilya Paul ac Silas, ac amakunutalla nu ke nien toeni in siti uh, in nununkeyuk eltal ye mutun mwet fulat.
20And presenting them to the magistrates, they said: These men disturb our city, being Jews;
20Elos usalosme nu ye mutun mwet leum lun Rome ac fahk, “Mwet inge elos mwet Jew, ac elos orek lokoalok in siti sesr uh.
21And preach a fashion which it is not lawful for us to receive nor observe, being Romans.
21Elos luti ke kutu ouiya ma kisrung ma sap lasr uh. Kut mwet Rome, ac kut tia ku in eis kain facsin ma elos luti inge ac moulkin.”
22And the people ran together against them; and the magistrates rending off their clothes, commanded them to be beaten with rods.
22Na un mwet uh welulosyak lainul Paul ac Silas. Na mwet leum Rome uh seya nuknuk lal Paul ac Silas, ac sap in sringsring eltal.
23And when they had laid many stripes upon them, they cast them into prison, charging the gaoler to keep them diligently.
23Tukun sringsring upa eltal, na sisiyang eltal nu in presin, ac fwackyang nu sin mwet liyaung presin uh in lakiya ku, eltal in tia kaingla.
24Who having received such a charge, thrust them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
24Ke mwet liyaung presin uh lohng ma sap nu sel uh, na el siseltalang nu infukil se oeloac uh, ac kapriya nialtal ke sak in kapir lulap.
25And at midnight, Paul and Silas praying, praised God. And they that were in prison, heard them.
25Ke infulwen fong uh, Paul ac Silas pre ac on ke on in alu nu sin God, ac mwet kapir saya uh lohng ke eltal on uh.
26And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and the bands of all were loosed.
26Tia paht na kusrusr na upa se sikyak, su osrokak pac pwelung ke presin uh. Srungul nukewa ikakla, ac sein ma kapri mwet kaul uh putatla lukelos nukewa.
27And the keeper of the prison, awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison open, drawing his sword, would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.
27Mwet liyaung presin el ngutalik, ac ke el liye lah srungul ke presin uh ikakla, el nunku mu mwet kapir uh kaingla. Na el faesak cutlass natul ac oru elan sifacna unilya.
28But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying: Do thyself no harm, for we all are here.
28Ac Paul el liksrenina wola ac fahk, “Nimet sifacna unikomi! Kut pa na inge.”
29Then calling for a light, he went in, and trembling, fell down at the feet of Paul and Silas.
29Mwet liyaung presin el sap in utuku sie lam, na el yuyang nu luin presin, ac el arulana rarrar ke el putati sisken nial Paul ac Silas.
30And bringing them out, he said: Masters, what must I do, that I may be saved?
30Na el pwanultalla nu lik uh ac siyuk seltal, “Leum luo, mea nga ac oru tuh nga in moliyukla?”
31But they said: Believe in the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
31Eltal topuk ac fahk nu sel, “Lulalfongi in Leum Jesus, na kom fah moul — kom ac mwet in lohm sum.”
32And they preached the word of the Lord to him and to all that were in his house.
32Na eltal fahkak kas lun Leum nu sel ac nu sin mwet nukewa in lohm sel.
33And he, taking them the same hour of the night, washed their stripes, and himself was baptized, and all his house immediately.
33Ke ao sacna in fong sac, mwet liyaung presin el usaltalla ac ohlla kinet kacltal. Na el ac mwet nukewa in lohm sel baptaisla in pacl sacna.
34And when he had brought them into his own house, he laid the table for them, and rejoiced with all his house, believing God.
34Na el usalak Paul ac Silas nu in lohm sel ah, ac kitaltal mwe mongo. El ac sou lal uh sessesla ke engan mweyen inge elos lulalfongi ke God.
35And when the day was come, the magistrates sent the serjeants, saying, Let those men go.
35In lotu tok ah, leum lun mwet Rome uh supwala kutu policeman in fahk nu sin mwet liyaung presin uh, “Tulala mwet luo ingan eltal in som.”
36And the keeper of the prison told these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore depart, and go in peace.
36Ouinge mwet liyaung presin el fahk nu sel Paul, “Mwet leum uh sapma in tuh ikakla kom ac Silas. Komtal ku in som ac fahsr in misla.”
37But Paul said to them: They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison: and now do they thrust us out privately? Not so; but let them come,
37Tusruk Paul el fahk nu sin policeman uh, “Wangin ma koneyukyak mu oasr mwatasr kac, a elos uni kut ye mutun mwet uh — ac kut mwet Rome! Na elos siskutyang nu in presin, ac inge elos ke supwekutla in lukma. Tia ku in ouingan! Enenu mwet leum lun Rome ingan in tuku ac sifacna ikuskutla.”
38And let us out themselves. And the serjeants told these words to the magistrates. And they were afraid, hearing that they were Romans.
38Policeman inge som ac fahkak kas laltal inge nu sin leum lun acn Rome uh; ac ke elos lohngak lah Paul ac Silas mwet Rome, elos arulana sangeng.
39And coming, they besought them; and bringing them out, they desired them to depart out of the city.
39Ouinge elos som ac taltal koluk nu seltal; ac ikasultalla liki presin, ac fahk eltal in som liki siti uh.
40And they went out of the prison, and entered into the house of Lydia; and having seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
40Paul ac Silas som liki presin, ac som nu lohm sel Lydia. Eltal osun nu sin mwet lulalfongi uh we, ac sang kas in akku nu selos, na eltal som.
