Bible Mutal (Kosraean)
1Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the assembly which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for 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.
2Devout men buried Stephen and lamented greatly over him.
2Kutu mwet ma inse pwaye in lulalfongi elos arulana tungel Stephen, ac piknilya.
3But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into every house and dragged both men and women off 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.
4Therefore those who were scattered abroad went around preaching the word.
4Mwet lulalfongi ma fahsrelik elos fahkak ke Pweng Wo yen nukewa elos som nu we.
5Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ.
5Ac Philip el som nu in sie siti in Samaria ac fahkak ke Christ nu sin mwet we.
6The multitudes listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip when they heard and saw the signs 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 unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them. They came out, crying with a loud voice. Many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed.
7Ngun fohkfok uh illa liki mwet puspis ac wowoyak ke pusra lulap, ac mwet ul ac mwet sukapas puspis akkeyeyukla.
8There was great joy in that city.
8Ouinge mwet in siti sac elos arulana engan.
9But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who used to practice sorcery in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, making himself out to be 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 listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is that great power of God.”
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.”
11They listened to him because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.
11Elos tuh lohang ouinge nu sel ke sripen polo pacl na loes se el arulana aklutyalos ke susfa ma el oru.
12But when they believed Philip preaching good news concerning God’s Kingdom and 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.
13Simon himself also believed. Being baptized, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed.
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 at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,
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 had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;
15Ke eltal sun acn Samaria, eltal pre ke mwet lulalfongi we tuh elos in eis Ngun Mutal.
16for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of Christ Jesus.
16Tuh Ngun Mutal soenna putati nu faclos; elos baptaisla mukena ke inen Leum Jesus.
17Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
17Na Peter ac John filiya paolos faclos, ac elos eis Ngun Mutal.
18Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, 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 whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.”
19ac fahk, “Se pac ku se inge nu sik, tuh kutena mwet ma nga filiya pouk fac, fah eis Ngun Mutal.”
20But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God 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!
21You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart isn’t right before God.
21Wangin ma lom ke orekma se inge, mweyen insiom tia pwaye ye mutun God.
22Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.
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 that you are in the poison of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity.”
23Tuh nga liye mu kom sessesla ke sok, ac ma koluk uh kaprikomi.”
24Simon answered, “Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to 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.”
25They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Good News to many villages 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.
26Then an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise, and go toward the south to the way that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a 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.)
27He arose and went; and behold, there was a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship.
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.
28He was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.
28In pacl se inge el folokla nu yen sel. El muta fin chariot natul ac riti kas lal Isaiah mwet palu.
29The Spirit said to Philip, “Go near, and join yourself to this chariot.”
29Ac Ngun Mutal fahk nu sel Philip, “Kalukyang nu ke chariot soko ingo, ac fahsr apkuran nu kac.”
30Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”
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?”
31He said, “How can I, unless someone explains it to me?” He begged Philip to 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.
32Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he doesn’t open 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 his humiliation, his judgment was taken away. Who will declare His generation? For his life is 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.”
34The eunuch answered Philip, “Who is the prophet talking about? About himself, or about someone else?”
34Mwet fulat sac siyuk sel Philip, “Su mwet palu se inge kaskas kac uh? Kacl sifacna, ku ke siena mwet?”
35Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him about Jesus.
35Na Philip el mutawauk in sramsram. El mutawauk ke mwe rit se inge, ac fahkang nu sel ke Pweng Wo ke Jesus.
36As they went on the way, they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Behold, here is water. What is keeping 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?” [
no verse 37 in this text
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.”]
38He commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both 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.
39When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch didn’t see him any more, for 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 at Azotus. Passing through, he preached the Good News to all the cities until 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.
