Berean Standard Bible
1MURIN mepukat a kotila jan Aten o kotilan Korint,
1After this, Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.
2A lao diaradar Juj amen me ad a Akwila me ipwidier Pontuj, me apton kodo jan Italien o a paud Prijila, aki Klaudiuj majani, me Juj oko karoj en kokoke jan Rom, i ari kotilan re ’ra.
2There he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to visit them,
3O kotikot re ’ra, ian dodok, pwe ira jon ta ieu wiada im likau.
3and he stayed and worked with them because they were tentmakers by trade, just as he was.
4O ni ran en japat karoj a kin kotin padapadak nan jinakoke o kalekalolekone men Juj o men Krik kan.
4Every Sabbath he reasoned in the synagogue, trying to persuade Jews and Greeks alike.
5A Jilaj o Timoteuj lao kodido jan Majetonien, Pauluj kotin jopijokki kaualap padak o, pwe a kadede on Juj akan, me Iejuj me Krijtuj.
5And when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul devoted himself fully to the word, testifying to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ.
6A irail lao akamai o lalaue, a ap jipededi japwilim a likau majani on irail: Dip omail en kapokon on pein komail. Nai me makelekel jan met, i pan kola ren men liki kan.
6But when they opposed and insulted him, he shook out his garments and told them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am innocent of it. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”
7I ari kotila jan waja o ap kotilan nan im en amen me ad a Jujt me kin kaudok on Kot, me im a pat on jinakoke.
7So Paul left the synagogue and went next door to the house of Titus Justus, a worshiper of God.
8A Krijpuj, jaumaj en jinakoke pojonla Kaun o, ianaki karoj toun im a; toun Korint me toto lao ronada, ap pojonla o paptaijela.
8Crispus, the synagogue leader, and his whole household believed in the Lord. And many of the Corinthians who heard the message believed and were baptized.
9Kaun o ap kotin majani on Pauluj ni a auramen ni pon: Der majak, padapadak ender nenenla!
9One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking; do not be silent.
10Pwe Nai ian uk, o jota me pan jair uk, pwen kame uk, pwe nai aramaj me toto nan kanim wet.
10For I am with you and no one will lay a hand on you, because I have many people in this city.”
11I ari kotikot waja o par eu o jaunipon wonu kaweweda majan en Kot nan pun arail.
11So Paul stayed for a year and a half, teaching the word of God among the Corinthians.
12Ni muein Kalion kakaundar Akaia, Juj akan ap wiaki eu, jaikidi Pauluj o wa don i mon mol en kadeik o,
12While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews coordinated an attack on Paul and brought him before the judgment seat.
13Indada: Lap men et kin pitipiti aramaj, ren kaudok on Kot ap palian kapun.
13“This man is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to the law,” they said.
14Pauluj lao men majanda, Kalion ap majani on Juj oko: Komail Juj oko, ma japun eu de me jued kot, i pan ron komail.
14But just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio told the Jews, “If this matter involved a wrongdoing or vicious crime, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to hear your complaint.
15A ma akamai duen lamalam, o ad akan, o omail kapun, nan pein komail pan wia, pwe nai jota men jaunkapun pan mepukat.
15But since it is a dispute about words and names and your own law, settle it yourselves. I refuse to be a judge of such things.”
16I ari jiken ir wei jan ni mol en kadeik o.
16And he drove them away from the judgment seat.
17A karoj ap jaikidi Jojtenej, jaumaj en jinakoke o woki i mon mol en kadeik o. A Kalion jota injenoki mepukat karoj.
17At this, the crowd seized Sosthenes the synagogue leader and beat him in front of the judgment seat. But none of this was of concern to Gallio.
18Pauluj lao kotikot waja o ran toto, ap kotin kamurimuri on jaulan kan o ianala jop pot kotilan Jirien; Prijila i Akwila ian i. Maj a kotin kotedar tapwi nan Kenkraa, pwe a inau mia.
18Paul remained in Corinth for quite some time before saying goodbye to the brothers. He had his head shaved in Cenchrea to keep a vow he had made, and then he sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila.
19I ari jupi on Epijuj, pwilikidi on ira waja o, a pein i kotilon on nan jinakoke o kaparok on Juj oko.
19When they reached Ephesus, Paul parted ways with Priscilla and Aquila. He himself went into the synagogue there and reasoned with the Jews.
20Irail poeki i, en mimieta re ’rail anjau warai, a jota kotin duki on.
20When they asked him to stay for a while longer, he declined.
21O a kotin kamurimuri on irail majani: I udan ian kamadip kokodo nan Ierujalem. A ma Kot pan kotin mueid on ia, i pan pure don komail. A ap kotin maj el jan Epijuj.
21But as he left, he said, “I will come back to you if God is willing.” And he set sail from Ephesus.
22A lao kotin keredi Jajarea, ap kotidala ranamau on momodijou ap kotilan Antiokien.
22When Paul had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the church at Jerusalem. Then he went down to Antioch.
23A kotikot waja o anjau kij, ap kotila kakan jili nan wein Kalatia, o Prikien, kakelada tounpadak kan karoj.
23After Paul had spent some time in Antioch, he traveled from place to place throughout the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
24A men Juj amen, me ad a Apoluj, me tikidar Alekjandrien, iei ol kadek lokaia, o me ereki kijin likau kan, a ko don Epijuj.
24Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, came to Ephesus. He was an eloquent man, well versed in the Scriptures.
25Men et aleer padak ni al en Kaun o, o a kelail ni nen e, a padapadak o kaweweda mau meakan duen Iejuj; a paptaij en Ioanej me a aja.
25He had been instructed in the way of the Lord and was fervent in spirit. He spoke and taught accurately about Jesus, though he knew only the baptism of John.
26I ari tapiada aima padapadak nan jinakoke. A Akwila o Prijila lao ron i, ap uke don ira i, kawewe on i al en Kot.
26And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him in and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
27A lao men kola Akaia, jaulan kai ap intin won tounpadak kan, poeki re ’rail, ren kajamo i. I lao pwarado, ap jauaja irail, me pojon kilar mak en Kot.
27When Apollos resolved to cross over to Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples there to welcome him. On his arrival, he was a great help to those who by grace had believed.
28Pwe a manaman on Juj akan, kajale on irail jan kijin likau kan me Iejuj me Krijtuj.
28For he powerfully refuted the Jews in public debate, proving from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
