Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1And it came to pass, while Apollo was at Corinth, that Paul having passed through the upper coasts, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples.
1Ke Apollos el muta Corinth, Paul el fahsr apunla facl ma oan epang, ac tuku nu Ephesus. Ke el sun acn we el osun nu sin kutu mwet lulalfongi
2And he said to them: Have you received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? But they said to him: We have not so much as heard whether there be a Holy Ghost.
2ac siyuk selos, “Ku kowos tuh eis Ngun Mutal ke pacl se kowos ekla mwet lulalfongi?” Ac elos topuk, “Kut tiana lohng mu oasr Ngun Mutal.”
3And he said: In what then were you baptized? Who said: In John’s baptism.
3Ac Paul el sifilpa siyuk selos, “Na baptais fuka kowos eis ah?” Elos topuk nu sel, “Baptais se John el luti kac.”
4Then Paul said: John baptized the people with the baptism of penance, saying: That they should believe in him who was to come after him, that is to say, in Jesus.
4Na Paul el fahk, “Baptais lal John ma nu selos su auliyak liki ma koluk lalos, ac el oayapa fahk nu sin mwet Israel mu elos in lulalfongi in el su ac tuku tokol — aok, Jesus.”
5Having heard these things, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
5Ke elos lohng ma inge, elos baptaisla inen Leum Jesus.
6And when Paul had imposed his hands on them, the Holy Ghost came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.
6Paul el filiya paol faclos; ac Ngun Mutal tuku nu faclos; ac elos kaskas ke pusra ma siena liki kas lalos, ac fahkak kas lun God.
7And all the men were about twelve.
7Mwet singoul luo nufon pa ke u sac.
8And entering into the synagogue, he spoke boldly for the space of three months, disputing and exhorting concerning the kingdom of God.
8Paul el utyak nu ke iwen lolngok ac el kaskas pulaikna nu sin mwet uh ke malem tolu. El sramsram ac asiyuki yorolos, ac srike in furokolos in lulalfongi ke Tokosrai lun God.
9But when some were hardened, and believed not, speaking evil of the way of the Lord, before the multitude, departing from them, he separated the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one Tyrannus.
9Tusruktu kutu selos arulana upa insialos ac tia lulalfongi, ac ye mutun walil sac elos fahk kas in akkolukye u se pangpang Mwet Fahsr ke Inkanek lun Leum. Ke ma inge Paul el fahsr lukelos ac usla mwet lulalfongi uh welul, ac el lotelos len nukewa ke lohm in tukeni se su ma sel Tyrannus.
10And this continued for the space of two years, so that all they who dwelt in Asia, heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Gentiles.
10Ouiya se inge orek ke lusen yac luo, oru mwet nukewa su muta in acn Asia, kewana mwet Jew ac mwet Greek, elos lohng ke kas lun Leum.
11And God wrought by the hand of Paul more than common miracles.
11God El sang ku nu sel Paul in oru mwenmen na usrnguk.
12So that even there were brought from his body to the sick, handkerchiefs and aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the wicked spirits went out of them.
12Finne handkerchief ku apron ma pusralla manol Paul, fin utukla nu yurin mwet mas uh, na mas lalos ac wanginla, ac ngun fohkfok uh ac illa lukelos.
13Now some also of the Jewish exorcists who went about, attempted to invoke over them that had evil spirits, the name of the Lord Jesus, saying: I conjure you by Jesus, whom Paul preacheth.
13Kutu mwet Jew ma forfor ac sisla ngun fohkfok elos srike in wi pac orekmakin inen Leum Jesus in oru ma inge. Elos ac fahk nu sin ngun fohkfok, “Nga sapkin nu sum ke inen Jesus su Paul el fahkak kac.”
14And there were certain men, seven sons of Sceva, a Jew, a chief priest, that did this.
14Tamulel itkosr su wen natul Sceva, sie Mwet Tol Fulat lun mwet Jew, pa oru ma inge.
15But the wicked spirit, answering, said to them: Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?
15Tusruk ngun fohkfok el fahk nu selos, “Nga etal Jesus, ac nga etu pac kacl Paul; a kowos — su kowos an?”
16And the man in whom the wicked spirit was, leaping upon them, and mastering them both, prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
16Mwet se ma ngun fohkfok ah oan sel el sroang nu selos ac ku lukelos. Elos kaingla liki lohm uh, koflufol ac kinkineta.
17And this became known to all the Jews and the Gentiles that dwelt at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
17Mwet Jew ac mwet pegan nukewa ma muta Ephesus elos lohng ke ma sikyak inge; ac elos nukewa arulana sangeng, ac inen Leum Jesus akfulatyeyuk yohk liki meet.
18And many of them that believed, came confessing and declaring their deeds.
18Pus sin mwet lulalfongi uh tuku, ac sifacna fahkak ma koluk lalos ye mutun mwet uh.
19And many of them who had followed curious arts, brought together their books, and burnt them before all; and counting the price of them, they found the money to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.
19Pus pac sin mwet ma orek inutnut elos orani book natulos nukewa ac esukak in walil uh. Fin sisani molin book inge ac tuh oasr ke ipin silver lumngaul tausin.
20So mightily grew the word of God, and was confirmed.
20Ke sripen orekma ku inge nukewa, kas lun Leum uh yokyokelik ac kui.
21And when these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying: After I have been there, I must see Rome also.
21Tukun ma inge, Paul el sulela sel in fahsr sasla Macedonia ac Achaia, na ingo lac nu Jerusalem. Ac el fahk, “Tukun nga ac sun acn inge, nga enenu na in som pac nu Rome.”
22And sending into Macedonia two of them that ministered to him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself remained for a time in Asia.
22Ouinge el supwalla Timothy ac Erastus, luo sin mwet kasru lal, nu Macedonia, ac el muta kitin pacl in Asia.
23Now at that time there arose no small disturbance about the way of the Lord.
23In pacl se inge lokoalok na upa sikyak in acn Ephesus ke sripen u se pangpang Mwet Fahsr ke Inkanek lun Leum.
24For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver temples for Diana, brought no small gain to the craftsmen;
24Oasr mwet orekma ke silver se pangpang Demetrius, su orek ma sruloala srisrik ke silver ma oana luman tempul lulap lun god mutan Artemis. Mwet orekma lal Demetrius eis mani na yohk ke orekma se inge.
25Whom he calling together, with the workmen of like occupation, said: Sirs, you know that our gain is by this trade;
25Na Demetrius el pangoneni mwet nukewa ma wi oru kain in orekma se inge, ac fahk nu selos, “Mwet wiuk in orekma, kowos etu lah kasrpasr tuku ke orekma se lasr inge.
26And you see and hear, that this Paul by persuasion hath drawn away a great multitude, not only of Ephesus, but almost of all Asia, saying: They are not gods which are made by hands.
26Kowos sifacna liye ac lohng ma mwet se inge Paul el oru. El fahk mu god ma orekla sin mwet uh tiana god pwaye, ac el oru mwet puspis in acn Ephesus, ac apkuran in acn Asia nufon, in lulalfongi ma el fahk uh.
27So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought, but also the temple of great Diana shall be reputed for nothing; yea, and her majesty shall begin to be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.
27Sensen lasr uh pa mwet uh ac orala kas in akkolukyela orekma lasr uh. Ac tia ma sacn mukena, a kut sensen pac mu tempul lun god mutan Artemis ac wanginla kalmac, ac mwet uh ac fah tia sifil akfulatyal — god mutan se su mwet in acn Asia ac faclu nufon alu nu se uh!”
28Having heard these things, they were full of anger, and cried out, saying: Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
28Ke u sac lohng kas inge, elos arulana kasrkusrakak, ac wowo fahk, “Artemis lun Ephesus el fulatlana!”
29And the whole city was filled with confusion; and having caught Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions, they rushed with one accord into the theatre.
29Fohsak se inge fahsrelik in siti sac nufon. U sac sruokilya Gaius ac Aristarchus, mwet Macedonia luo su welul Paul forfor, ac usaltalla nu nien intoe srital lulap ke siti uh.
30And when Paul would have entered in unto the people, the disciples suffered him not.
30Paul sifacna el ke som ac sramsram nu sin u lulap sac, tuh mwet lulalfongi elos tia lela.
31And some also of the rulers of Asia, who were his friends, sent unto him, desiring that he would not venture himself into the theatre.
31Kutu sin mwet fulat lun acn we, su mwet kawuk lal, supwala pac sap soko nu sel ac kwafe elan tia som nu nien intoe srital ah.
32Now some cried one thing, some another. For the assembly was confused, and the greater part knew not for what cause they were come together.
32In pacl sac tukeni sac arulana fohsak: kutu mwet wowo ke siena ma, ac kutu ke sie pacna, ac pusiyen mwet uh tia etu sripen toeni lalos.
33And they drew forth Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews thrusting him forward. And Alexander beckoning with his hand for silence, would have given the people satisfaction.
33Kutu mwet uh nunku mu Alexander pa sripauk, mweyen mwet Jew uh pahtkolak elan tu meet. Na Alexander el kolak paol nu sin mwet uh in akmisyelos, ac el srike in aketeya nu selos ma orek uh.
34But as soon as they perceived him to be a Jew, all with one voice, for the space of about two hours, cried out: Great is Diana of the Ephesians.
34Tuh ke elos akilenak lah el sie mwet Jew, elos nukewa tukeni wowoyak ke lusen ao luo, ac fahk, “Artemis lun Ephesus el fulatlana!”
35And when the town clerk had appeased the multitudes, he said: Ye men of Ephesus, what man is there that knoweth not that the city of the Ephesians is a worshipper of the great Diana, and of Jupiter’s offspring.
35Na mwet sim lun siti uh el akmisyela u sac, ac fahk, “Mwet Ephesus, mwet nukewa etu lah siti lun Ephesus pa liyaung tempul lun Artemis fulatlana, ac oayapa eot saok se ma putatla inkusrao me uh.
36For as much therefore as these things cannot be contradicted, you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rashly.
36Wangin mwet ku in lafwekin ma inge. Ouinge kowos in misla, ac tia oru kutena ouiya lalfon.
37For you have brought hither these men, who are neither guilty of sacrilege, nor of blasphemy against your goddess.
37Kowos use mwet inge nu inge, a wangin ma elos pisre in tempul, ku fahk kas koluk ke god mutan lasr uh.
38But if Demetrius and the craftsmen that are with him, have a matter against any man, the courts of justice are open, and there are proconsuls: let them accuse one another.
38Fin oasr mwe tukak lal Demetrius ac mwet orekma lal uh lain kutena mwet, na oasr mwet fulat lasr, ac oasr pac len in nununku. Elos ku in oru tukak lalos we.
39And if you inquire after any other matter, it may be decided in a lawful assembly.
39A fin oasr pac ma yohk liki ma kowos suk, enenu in aksuwosyeyuk ke meeting lun mwet fulat lun siti uh, fal nu ke ma sap lasr.
40For we are even in danger to be called in question for this day’s uproar, there being no man guilty (of whom we may give account) of this concourse. And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.
40Tukun ma sikyak misenge uh, oasr sensen lasr lah mwet uh ac fahk mu kut pa purakak wowon sac. Ke wangin sripa ma sramtauk fohs sac, oru wangin sripa wo ma kut ac ku in fahk kac.”
