Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1And at that time there was raised a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all dispersed through the countries of Judea, and Samaria, except the apostles.
1Ac Saul el wi akkeye in anwuki Stephen. In len sacna, mwet lun church in acn Jerusalem mutawauk in pula mwe akkeok na upa nu selos. Mwet lulalfongi nukewa, sayen mwet sap uh, fahsrelik nu in acn nukewa Judea ac Samaria.
2And devout men took order for Stephen’s funeral, and made great mourning over him.
2Kutu mwet ma inse pwaye in lulalfongi elos arulana tungel Stephen, ac piknilya.
3But Saul made havock of the church, entering in from house to house, and dragging away men and women, committed them to prison.
3A Saul el srike in kunausla church. El uti‐utyak inkul nukewa, ac amakunla mukul ac mutan su lulalfongi liki lohm selos, ac siselosyang nu in presin.
4They therefore that were dispersed, went about preaching the word of God.
4Mwet lulalfongi ma fahsrelik elos fahkak ke Pweng Wo yen nukewa elos som nu we.
5And Philip going down to the city of Samaria, preached Christ unto them.
5Ac Philip el som nu in sie siti in Samaria ac fahkak ke Christ nu sin mwet we.
6And the people with one accord were attentive to those things which were said by Philip, hearing, and seeing the miracles which he did.
6Un mwet puspis arulana lohang nu sel Philip, in lohng ma el fahk uh ac in liye mwenmen ma el oru.
7For many of them who had unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, went out.
7Ngun fohkfok uh illa liki mwet puspis ac wowoyak ke pusra lulap, ac mwet ul ac mwet sukapas puspis akkeyeyukla.
8And many, taken with the palsy, and that were lame, were healed.
8Ouinge mwet in siti sac elos arulana engan.
9There was therefore great joy in that city. Now there was a certain man named Simon, who before had been a magician in that city, seducing the people of Samaria, giving out that he was some great one:
9Oasr sie mwet in acn sac pangpang Simon, su orek susfa ke pacl na loeloes we, ac aklutye mwet Samaria. El sifacna oru mu el mwet fulat se,
10To whom they all gave ear, from the least to the greatest, saying: This man is the power of God, which is called great.
10ac mwet nukewa in siti sac, kewana mwet fulat ac mwet pusisel, arulana lohang nu ke ma el oru. Elos fahk mu el pa ku se lun God su pangpang “Ku Lulap.”
11And they were attentive to him, because, for a long time, he had bewitched them with his magical practices.
11Elos tuh lohang ouinge nu sel ke sripen polo pacl na loes se el arulana aklutyalos ke susfa ma el oru.
12But when they had believed Philip preaching of the kingdom of God, in the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
12Tusruktu ke pacl se elos lulalfongi mwe luti lal Philip ke pweng wo ke Tokosrai lun God ac ke inen Jesus Christ, elos baptaisla, mukul ac mutan.
13Then Simon himself believed also; and being baptized, he adhered to Philip. And being astonished, wondered to see the signs and exceeding great miracles which were done.
13Simon el wi pac lulalfongi ac tukun baptaisla el, el ukwal Philip pacl nukewa, ac el arulana fwefela ke el liye ma sakirik yohk ac mwenmen ma orek uh.
14Now when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, had heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John.
14Ke mwet sap ma muta Jerusalem elos lohngak lah mwet Samaria elos eis kas lun God, elos supwalla Peter ac John nu yorolos.
15Who, when they were come, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost.
15Ke eltal sun acn Samaria, eltal pre ke mwet lulalfongi we tuh elos in eis Ngun Mutal.
16For he was not as yet come upon any of them; but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
16Tuh Ngun Mutal soenna putati nu faclos; elos baptaisla mukena ke inen Leum Jesus.
17Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
17Na Peter ac John filiya paolos faclos, ac elos eis Ngun Mutal.
18And when Simon saw, that by the imposition of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
18Simon el liye lah Ngun Mutal itukyang nu sin mwet lulalfongi ke mwet sap uh filiya paolos faclos, ouinge el ke sang kutu mani nu sel Peter ac John,
19Saying: Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I shall lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said to him:
19ac fahk, “Se pac ku se inge nu sik, tuh kutena mwet ma nga filiya pouk fac, fah eis Ngun Mutal.”
20Keep thy money to thyself, to perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
20Tuh Peter el topuk ac fahk nu sel, “Lela tuh kom ac mani lom an in som nu in hell, ke kom nunku mu kom in moli mwe kite lun God ke mani!
21Thou hast no part nor lot in this matter. For thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
21Wangin ma lom ke orekma se inge, mweyen insiom tia pwaye ye mutun God.
22Do penance therefore for this thy wickedness; and pray to God, that perhaps this thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee.
22Ke ma inge, kom in auliyak liki nunak koluk lom an, ac pre nu sin Leum tuh elan nunak munas nu sum ke kom oru kain in nunak ingan uh.
23For I see thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bonds of iniquity.
23Tuh nga liye mu kom sessesla ke sok, ac ma koluk uh kaprikomi.”
24Then Simon answering, said: Pray you for me to the Lord, that none of these things which you have spoken may come upon me.
24Simon el fahk nu sel Peter ac John, “Nunak munas, pre nu sin God keik, tuh ma komtal fahk ingan in fah tia sikme nu sik.”
25And they indeed having testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many countries of the Samaritans.
25Tukun Peter ac John fahkak kas lun Leum ac sramsram ke lulalfongi laltal sifacna, eltal fahkak pac Pweng Wo uh in siti srisrik puspis in Samaria ke eltal folok nu Jerusalem.
26Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying: Arise, go towards the south, to the way that goeth down from Jerusalem into Gaza: this is desert.
26Sie lipufan lun Leum God fahk nu sel Philip, “Akola ac oatula nu eir, nu ke inkanek soko ma som Jerusalem lac nu Gaza.” (Inkanek soko inge tia orekmakinyuk in pacl inge.)
27And rising up, he went. And behold a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch, of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge over all her treasures, had come to Jerusalem to adore.
27Na Philip el tuyak ac som. El liye sie mwet eunuch Ethiopia me, su sie mwet fulat inkul sin kasra lun acn Ethiopia. Mwet se inge pa liyaung mwe kasrup nukewa lun kasra sac. El tuh tuku nu Jerusalem in alu.
28And he was returning, sitting in this chariot, and reading Isaias the prophet.
28In pacl se inge el folokla nu yen sel. El muta fin chariot natul ac riti kas lal Isaiah mwet palu.
29And the Spirit said to Philip: Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
29Ac Ngun Mutal fahk nu sel Philip, “Kalukyang nu ke chariot soko ingo, ac fahsr apkuran nu kac.”
30And Philip running thither, heard him reading the prophet Isaias. And he said: Thinkest thou that thou understandest what thou readest?
30Philip el yula nu yorol, ac lohng lah el riti book lal Isaiah mwet palu, na el siyuk sel, “Ku kom kalem ke ma kom riti an?”
31Who said: And how can I, unless some man shew me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
31Na mwet fulat sac fahk, “Nga ac kalem fuka fin wangin mwet aketeya nu sik?” Na el sap Philip elan sroak ac welul muta fin chariot uh.
32And the place of the scripture which he was reading was this: He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb without voice before his shearer, so openeth he not his mouth.
32Pa inge mwe rit se ma el riti ah: “El oana soko sheep ma pwenyukla in anwuki, Oana soko lamb ma mislana ke pacl in kalkul lal, El tiana fahkla kutena kas.
33In humility his judgment was taken away. His generation who shall declare, for his life shall be taken from the earth?
33Akpusiselyeyuk el, ac wangin nununku suwohs orek nu sel. Wangin mwet ac ku in srumun ke fwilin tulik natul Mweyen moul lal fin faclu uh safla.”
34And the eunuch answering Philip, said: I beseech thee, of whom doth the prophet speak this? of himself, or of some other man?
34Mwet fulat sac siyuk sel Philip, “Su mwet palu se inge kaskas kac uh? Kacl sifacna, ku ke siena mwet?”
35Then Philip, opening his mouth, and beginning at this scripture, preached unto him Jesus.
35Na Philip el mutawauk in sramsram. El mutawauk ke mwe rit se inge, ac fahkang nu sel ke Pweng Wo ke Jesus.
36And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water; and the eunuch said: See, here is water: what doth hinder me from being baptized?
36Eltal kasrusr nwe sun sie acn ma oasr kof we. Na mwet fulat sac fahk, “Liye, kof pa inge. Ya oasr ma ac ikolyuwi nga in baptaisla?” [
37And Philip said: If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answering, said: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
37Philip el fahk nu sel, “Kom fin lulalfongi ke insiom kewa, kom ku in baptaisla.” Ac el topuk, “Nga lulalfongi lah Jesus Christ El Wen nutin God.”]
38And he commanded the chariot to stand still; and they went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch: and he baptized him.
38Na mwet fulat sac sap chariot sac in tui, na el ac Philip tukenina oatui nu in kof uh, ac Philip el baptaisella.
39And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more. And he went on his way rejoicing.
39Ke eltal utyak liki kof uh, Ngun lun Leum usalla Philip. Mwet fulat sac tiana sifil liyal Philip tok, a ke el som inkanek lal el arulana engan.
40But Philip was found in Azotus; and passing through, he preached the gospel to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
40Philip el esmakla tuh na el muta Ashdod. Na el luti ke Pweng Wo in siti srisrik nukewa nwe ke el sun acn Caesarea.
