Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where was a synagogue of the Jews:
1Paul ac Silas fahsr sasla Amphipolis ac Apollonia ac tuku nu Thessalonica, yen ma oasr iwen lolngok se we.
2And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures,
2In oana ke el oru pacl nukewa uh, Paul el som nu in iwen lolngok. Ac ke len Sabbath tolu el sramsram nu sin mwet uh, ac rit ke kas in Ma Simusla,
3Opening and alleging, that Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead; and that this Jesus, whom I preach unto you, is Christ.
3ac aketeya kas inge, ac akpwayei lah Christ el enenu in keok ac sifil moulyak liki misa. Paul el fahk, “Jesus se ma nga fahkak nu suwos kac inge, el pa Christ.”
4And some of them believed, and consorted with Paul and Silas; and of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and of the chief women not a few.
4Kutu selos lulalfongi ac welulang Paul ac Silas; oayapa kutu mutan ma eteyuk fin acn we, ac pus pac mwet Greek su alu nu sin God.
5¶ But the Jews which believed not, moved with envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the baser sort, and gathered a company, and set all the city on an uproar, and assaulted the house of Jason, and sought to bring them out to the people.
5Tusruktu mwet Jew elos sok selos, ac orani kutu mwet lusrongten ma forfor wel inkanek uh, ac orala sie u in orek lokoalok. U se inge akfohsyauk mwet in siti uh nufon, ac utyak nu in lohm sel Jason, in sokol Paul ac Silas ac usaltal uh nu yurin mwet uh.
6And when they found them not, they drew Jason and certain brethren unto the rulers of the city, crying, These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also;
6Tusruktu ke elos tia konaltalak, elos amakunulma Jason ac kutu pac mwet lulalfongi nu ye mutun mwet fulat in siti uh, ac wowoyak ac fahk, “Mwet inge orek fohs yen nukewa! Ac inge elos tuku pac nu in siti sesr uh,
7Whom Jason hath received: and these all do contrary to the decrees of Cæsar, saying that there is another king, one Jesus.
7ac Jason el solaltalak nu in lohm sel ah. Elos nukewa kunaus ma sap lal Tokosra Fulat, ac fahk mu oasr pac siena tokosra saya, suh inel pa Jesus.”
8And they troubled the people and the rulers of the city, when they heard these things.
8Ke un mwet uh, oayapa mwet fulat lun siti uh lohng kas inge, elos arulana wonak kac.
9And when they had taken security of Jason, and of the other, they let them go.
9Mwet fulat lun siti uh sap tuh Jason ac mwet lulalfongi wial uh in moli lupan mani ma oakwuki in aksukosokyalos, na filfilla elos.
10¶ And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
10Ke tufahna fongeni, mwet lulalfongi elos supwalla Paul ac Silas nu Berea. Ke eltal sun acn we eltal som nu ke iwen lolngok lun mwet Jew uh.
11These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
11Mwet in acn sac elos engan liki mwet Thessalonica in eis mwe lutlut. Elos arulana oaru in lohng kas ma srumunyuk uh, ac elos lutlut len nukewa ke Ma Simusla uh in liye lah pwayena ma Paul el srumun uh.
12Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
12Mwet puspis selos lulalfongi, ac pus mutan kacto sin mwet Greek, oayapa mukul Greek puspis elos lulalfongi pac.
13But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people.
13Tusruktu ke mwet Jew in acn Thessalonica lohngak lah Paul el fahkak kas lun God in acn Berea, elos tuku nu we ac mutawauk in pirik ac akfohsyauk nunak lun mwet puspis.
14And then immediately the brethren sent away Paul to go as it were to the sea: but Silas and Timotheus abode there still.
14In pacl sacna, mwet lulalfongi elos supwalla Paul nu ke sie acn wekof uh; a Silas ac Timothy eltal mutana Berea.
15And they that conducted Paul brought him unto Athens: and receiving a commandment unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him with all speed, they departed.
15Mwet ma usal Paul ah welul na kalla nwe Athens, na elos folokla nu Berea, us sap soko sel Paul nu sel Silas ac Timothy, eltal in tuh sa na som nu yorol.
16¶ Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry.
16Ke Paul el tuh muta soanel Silas ac Timothy in acn Athens, el arulana toasrla ke el liye lah puslana ma sruloala in acn we.
17Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him.
17Ouinge el som nu in iwen lolngok ac alolngoki yurin mwet Jew ac oayapa mwet saya su alu nu sin God. Ac len nukewa el sramsram yurin kutena mwet ma tuku nu in acn in tukeni in siti uh.
18Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange gods: because he preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection.
18Oasr pac kutu mwet luti ke u se pangpang mwet Epicurus ac mwet Stoic elos wi pac alein nu sel. Kutu selos siyuk mu, “Mea mwet filanginkas se inge fahk uh?” Ac kutu mwet uh topuk, “El luman kaskas ke kutu god lun mutanfahl saya.” Elos fahk ouinge mweyen Paul el luti ke Jesus oayapa ke sifil moulyak uh.
19And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is ?
19Ouinge elos usalla Paul nu yurin un mwet pwapa fulat lun siti uh, su pangpang Areopagus, ac fahk, “Kut ke etu lah mea kalmen luti sasu se kom sramsramkin inge.
20For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean.
20Kutu ma kut lohng kom fahk uh luman sakirik sesr in lohng, ac kut ke etu lah mea kalmac.” (
21(For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.)
21Mweyen mwet Athens nukewa, ac mwetsac su muta we, lungse sisla pacl lalos in sramsramkin ac lohng ke kutena pweng sasu.)
22¶ Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars’ hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
22Paul el tuyak ye mutun mwet pwapa fulat lun siti uh ac fahk, “Nga liye lah in ouiya nukewa kowos mwet Athens uh arulana akfulatye alu.
23For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
23Mweyen ke nga forfor in siti lowos uh ac liye acn kowos alu we, nga konauk sie loang su simla kac, ‘Nu sin Sie God su Tia Eteyuk.’ Ma se ma kowos alu nu kac ingan kowos finne tia akilen, pa nga ac fahkak nu suwos.
24God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
24God su orala faclu ac ma nukewa loac uh, El Leum lun kusrao ac faclu, ac El tia muta in tempul ma orekla ke poun mwet.
25Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
25Ac El tia pac enenu kutena ma su kut ac sang nu sel ke orekma lun paosr, mweyen El pa sang moul ac momong ac ma nukewa nu sin mwet nukewa.
26And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
26El orala mutanfahl nukewa sin mwet sefanna, ac oru tuh elos in muta apunla fin faclu nufon. El sifacna oakiya meet lusen pacl ac lupan acn elos in muta we.
27That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
27El oru ma inge nukewa tuh mwet uh in sokol, ac elos in mau ku in konalak ke elos kahlimunul. Tusruktu pwayeiya uh, God El tiana muta loes liki kutena sesr,
28For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
28oana ke sie mwet tuh fahk, ‘In El kut moul, kut mukuikui, ac kut oasr.’ Oana ke kutu mwet kuhn on lowos uh fahk, ‘Kut pac, kut tulik natul.’
29Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.
29Na ke kut tulik nutin God uh, wo kut in tia nunku mu ouiya lal uh ku in lumahyuk ke gold, ku silver, ku eot, ma tafleyukla in luman ma sruloala ke lalmwetmet ac usrnguk lun mwet.
30And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
30God El tuh nunak munas nu sin mwet ke nikin lalos in pacl meet, a inge El sap nu selos nukewa yen nukewa in forla liki ouiya koluk lalos.
31Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men , in that he hath raised him from the dead.
31Tuh El oakiya tari sie len ma El ac nununku faclu nufon ke nununku suwohs, ke sie mwet su El sulela tari. El akpwayei ma se inge nu sin mwet nukewa ke El akmoulyauk mwet se inge liki misa!”
32¶ And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter .
32Ke elos lohng lah Paul el kaskaskin akmoulyauk sie mwet liki misa, kutu selos aksruksrukel, a kutu mwet uh fahk, “Kut ke lohng kom in sifil srumun ke ma se inge ke sie pac pacl.”
33So Paul departed from among them.
33Na Paul el illa liki tukeni sac.
34Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
34Kutu mwet uh welulang in lulalfongi, ac sie selos inge pa Dionysius, sie sin un mwet pwapa fulat, ac oasr pac mutan se pangpang Damaris, ac kutu pac mwet saya.
