eng: When she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.” So she persuaded us.

amn: Ehe afa heafna mungo lala nai bu wa apaigona. Enanam kangelim heafna lala gam kam unegoni. Ehe enaig esona og “Ne onigig ka inim Ainiyagim oniginagba eso ne kana lala ambugog auguiafim.” Ehe kam hugna hekusihiagenamba eso ka ahuna.


eng: A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us. The Lord opened her heart to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.

amn: Afa mungo angwafig gaba ena mo higina ehena unehlagba Lidia. Ehe Taiataira nai ango, lahlag nemug tafiglek lofug faig eso enanam kig nalig fag. Ehe Godna unehlag fingi fiafna. Ainiyag ehe ehena olugim numwehenage namba eso Polna mo higinam keahlana.


eng: On the Sabbath day we went outside of the city by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.

amn: Afa Isug Auguia Osuna koka esim ahu nanai yi augu Godum sihinafuhug kugim nangu. Ka kimbig muhwa ahunam bu blugum opukonam afa angwafig nuwag gofena eso ka augunam mo sihiagini.


eng: and from there to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the foremost of the district, a Roman colony. We were staying some days in this city.

amn: Afa nanai ka ena kimbig wahinim Filipai gam ahu opukona. Ena kimbigba Masedoniana nalig kimbig afa Rom el nanai yi auguna. Kangel nanai yi mwakwalig auguna.


eng: Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;

amn: Kangel sip yi fukwalunam Troasim wahinim eso Samotres gam gwesim ahuna opukonam afa nanai lawam ka wahinim Neapolis gam ahu opukona.


eng: When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the Good News to them.

amn: Afa Pol enam nangunam eso ikagna kangel numwehiagofi Masedonia gam ahuiagim. Ati ka onigig enamba God kam wagfunug ehe kam ningitigi heafna lahlag mo enag elim sihigonugim.


eng: When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit didn’t allow them.

amn: Afa ahu Misiana bite wa opukonam eso gwesim Bitinia bite gam ogna ahu afa so Sisasna Sungwag ehegelim kweni.


eng: When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.

amn: Pol fena afa minginag apaigona eso Frigia Galesiana bite gam ahuna. Afa Godna Sungwag ehegelim kweni og masa Esia na provins Godna mo sihif.


eng: So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.

amn: Eso sios elni olug onigig kifuti saigonamba afa so mungwali osuna minginag el ambugog fasahofena.


eng: As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.

amn: Afa Listra kimbig wahinim eso ahanaig ahanaig kimbig fapuke fiahufnamba eso sios elim sihigonugiahufna. Ena nihe Jerusalem wanai kanog hwatieg el i afa amunai el i ena mo sihini wahinimbi og soma enam pahlukui.


eng: Paul wanted to have him go out with him, and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

amn: Afa Pol ogna Timotim waniki afa mungwali Ju el enanai ati ehe anwanafini Timotina awag eba Grik el eso Pol Timotina lofugum kukohianagena. Grik el mas enaig esi afa Pol enaig esenamba, eba mas Ju el Timotim ahanaig esini.


eng: The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.

amn: Afa mungwali Listra wa nai i Aikoniam wa nai i Kristen el enaig esogona og, “Timotiba lahlag el.”


eng: but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.

amn: Afa Pol Sailasim sulufanam ogna ahka afa sios esogoni og, “Ainiyagna afafeg so nem numwehe wambufiahkafi” eso ahkana.


eng: He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.

amn: Afa eheningi Siria afa Silisia wa enanai yi enaksag kimbig fapugu ahfiahkafnaba sios elim kigmognug ahfiahkana.


amn: Afa eheningi Siria afa Silisia la enanai yi kaksag kembig fapugu ahfiahkafnaba sios elim kigmognug ahfiahkana.


eng: Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,

amn: Afa hefum flafihiag ahfenam eso ahpwatigina. Afa Barnabas Makim sulufanam ahka bot wa ahkanam eso Saiprus gam ahkana.


eng: But Paul didn’t think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and didn’t go with them to do the work.

amn: Afa Pol mas enaig onigina mo. Ehe enaig onigina og autunam Jon Makba big ambugog Pamfilia wa opukonam afa ehe bigim piske wasani ikana. Afa ehe mas gafugagim auwigina mo.


eng: Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.

amn: Afa Barnabas ogna Jon Makim ahwaniki.


eng: But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

amn: Afa Pol i Barnabas i afa minginag el fini Antiok kimbig auguiafenamba eso Ainiyagna mo wagfufegonfni afa mo sihigonfni.


amn: Afa Pol i Barnabas i afa minginag el fini Antiok kembig auguiafenamba asa Ainiyagna mo ogfufegonfni afa mo sihigonfni.


eng: Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.

amn: Judas i Sailas i eba Godna mo fa sihiaule el ahfena eso eheningi Kristenim hugna sihinug gafenam afa kigmognug ahfenam ena mona ahkwagana.


eng: When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.

amn: Afa ena ginof suwiginim mahim ehem kwaganamba eso sifakalini.


eng: So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.

amn: Afa sios el enag elim ningitiginimbi eso Antiok kimbig gam pas oguhuna. Afa opukonam Antiok sios elim unetiginim mahim nuwaganamba eso pas mo faigona.


eng: that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell.”

amn: Sa nofena fane nimbasam faigo ahga, nofena taf ahga, afa nofena sis wena kihlagba ahga, afa nofena aga taitufi. Afa ne enaig esi hwanigba eba ne yuhwafif. Gweliho.


eng: For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:

amn: Godna Sungwag i kangel i mungwalofug onigig fig mas ka nem kinig skogonahufi. Afa ka sawiyifig so na ohuna nihe mom pahluku.


eng: We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.

amn: Enaig esegba na so ka Judas mi Sailas mi ningitigibi so ma ahbonam ena mo mengig na ahsihi enag ginofba mungwalofug.


eng: men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

amn: Enag eheningiba yuwana mahim Sisas Krais Ainiyagna gafugag hofefnaba minginag el ogna patigi skotigi.


eng: it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

amn: Eso ka mungo mo sihiagigim afa so minginag elim hwatigbi so kangelni lahlag nilite Pol mi Barnabas mi nengelim ningihia gonug.


eng: Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, ‘You must be circumcised and keep the law,’ to whom we gave no commandment;

amn: Kangel enaig higig minginag kangel nai el ambugog nem opukegonugum kilimoan mo faigog. Ka mas ehem enaig sihifegonug mo.


eng: They wrote these things by their hand: “The apostles, the elders, and the brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.

amn: Ena elbi pas wahe ningihini. Ena ginof enaig esog: O nilite, Kangel kanog hwatieg el i afa amunai el i enag ginofba afwambanai Kristenim fatigonug, nengel Antiok, Siria, afa Silisia wanai amangel so eyi go.


eng: Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.

amn: Afa kanog hwatieg el i amunai i afa mungwali sios el i mungo mo sihiaginim eso ehengel nai yi minginag el hwatigbi so ma Pol mi Barnabas mi Antiok kimbig gam wanahui. Eso Judas fena afa ming unehlagba Barsabas afa ming Sailas fena. Eheningiba eba siosna misog el ahfena.


eng: For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”

amn: Afa ati ne anwanafig mungwali kimbig nuwagig lala Mosesna nihe mo mungwali Isug Auguia Osuna suwigahu, autunam pugugum bog yuwaga pugug.”


eng: but that we write to them that they abstain from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.

amn: Magofi, naiba nawo ginof finim so big enaig esogo, nofeka fane nimbasam faigo ahga, afa nofeka aga taitufi, afa nofeka sis wena kihlagba ahga, afa nofeka taf ahga.


eng: Therefore my judgment is that we don’t trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,

amn: Afa Jems gwenaig sihifena og, “Eso ka enaig onigig afwambanai el ogna Ainiyagim olug onigi, nofeka hugna ehegepusug faigo.


eng: that the rest of men may seek after the Lord: all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who does all these things.’

amn: Asa mungwali el Ainiyagim yisigifi eba afwambanai el ati ka kanog fwatig eba kana el.


eng: “All of God’s works are known to him from eternity.

amn: Enamba Ainiyagna mo ati autunam sihi wahiana afa el enam ati anwanafig eso enaig puguf.”


amn: Enamba Ainiyagna mo ati autunam sihi fwahana afa el enam ati anwenafig asa enaig pugufe.”


eng: ‘After these things I will return. I will again build the tabernacle of David, which has fallen. I will again build its ruins. I will set it up

amn: Devitna simbianiga enaig eseg lala lofug bufug pegi afa so nengigim ka bonam piske nimbaiba.


eng: This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,

amn: Enamba Godna mo fi sihiule el gwenaig ginofi wahini og. Godna buk enaig sihifeg;


eng: Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name.

amn: Saimon ati sihi wahiana og God yuwana minginag afwambanai elim wambugum afa heafna el fiahsaiyig.


eng: After they were silent, James answered, “Brothers, listen to me.

amn: Afa eheningi mahim sihi ahwahianamba eso Jems sihini og, “Nilite, so kam higini.


eng: All the multitude kept silence, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.

amn: Afa so mungwali el sifinam Barnabas nai i Pol nai i mom higwagfofna. Afa eheningi enaig sihi ahfini og God afwambanai elim ahanaig ahanaig kigmog kaningina ninga wa esinig.


eng: But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”

amn: Amo, ati big anwanafig Sisas Ainiyagna afafegwahe God bigim sulfug na so big ehem olug oniginig gwenaig seg afwambanai gaba esig.”


eng: Now therefore why do you tempt God, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

amn: Big i afa bigelni simbianiga i mas numwehig Mosesna lahlag nihem pahluhug mo. Eba hugna kifutig. Ahnaig esegba so na og ka ena kinigbi kikinim Kristenba faigo afa so na enaig esegonibi eba God ninimuf.


eng: God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.

amn: Afa God ati elni olug onigigim anwanafegim afa heafna Sungwag ehegelim faig eso gwenaig eseg bigelim gaba faig. Enamba bigim wagfunig ati ehegelim gaba wambug.


eng: When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News and believe.

amn: Afa ena mo sihiageafafnaba eso Pita bihianam sihini og, “Nilite, ati ne anwanafig autunam God kam nengel nai yi olyi kanog wahiag ka afwambanai elim Godna lahlag mo faibi so ma Sisasim olug onigini.


eng: The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.

amn: Eso kanog hwatieg el i afa amunai el i nuwagnam ena mom kwefuhiageafafna.


eng: But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.”

amn: Afa minginag Kristen farisi nihem pahlukuiaule bigiagafenam og, “Afwambanai el gaba so ma heafna lofugum kukohiaginim afa minginag mungwali nihem Mosesna pahlukui.”


eng: When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly and the apostles and the elders, and they reported everything that God had done with them.

amn: Afa mahim Jerusalem opukonaba sios el i kanog hwatieg el i afa amunai el i ehegelim nangwaginim sifakalini. Eso ehegel sihiagini mang so mungwali God ehegelni ninga wa gafugafeni.


eng: They, being sent on their way by the assembly, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles. They caused great joy to all the brothers.

amn: Afa so Antiok sios ehegelim ningitiginimbi eso distrik Fonisia gam afa Samaria gam eso sihiageahuna, og ati afwambanai el Godum olug oniginig, afa mungwali Kristen ena mom higinim eso hugna sifakalini.


eng: They stayed there with the disciples for a long time.

amn: Afa sambaganigi enanai yi pahlukuiag elim hugna ahwangana.


eng: When they had arrived and had gathered the assembly together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.

amn: Afa ahpugunam enanai yi sios elim ahunetigina og ma ambugog nuwagiba eso heafningina gafugagim sihinug ahfenam og, “God ehe esegim minaba pigiba eso afwambanai elbi Ainiyagim olug onigini.”


eng: From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.

amn: Afa nanai yi bot wa afkonam Antiok gam ahkana enanai yi autunam Kristen eheningim Godna ninga wa hwatiginimbi eso God ismunagim kwaganaba eso ena gafugagfeag ahfeakan eso piske ahbona.


eng: When they had appointed elders for them in every assembly, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord on whom they had believed.

amn: Barnabas i Pol i mungo mungo siosna amunai elim hugwefu ahwati hofefnaba. Eso fane hoiyioaklafinim so betennini og ma God heafna ninga wa agfohie, eba ehegelni Ainiyag.


eng: strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.

amn: Afa ahkafnamba kigmog mo pahlukuiag elim ahfaifinim og, “Nofeka olug onigim wahiyi yi. Amangel Godna bog meg gam saiyegogumba ofifibi eso ma kinig numb finim eso saho.”


eng: When they had preached the Good News to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,

amn: Afa eheningi Derbe wa ahagafinamba lahlag mo ahsihinamba enanai el enaksag Ainiyagna fiahsaina. Afa piske Listra afa Aikoniam afa Antiok Pisidia gam ahkana.


eng: But as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.

amn: Afa mahim Kristen el ehem wagfinimba eso Pol bihianam so piske kimbig gam sahokana. Afa lawam Pol i Barnabas i ena kimbig wahianam Derbe gam ahkana.


eng: But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.

amn: Afa enana Ju el Antiok Aikoniam kimbig wahinim Listra kimbig gam ambugonam ena kimbig wanai elim hekusihiaginimbi, eso Polim hun na tatuni og ateaba wahag eso ehem fini kimbig wa afwambagam fatini.


eng: Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a sacrifice to them.

amn: Afa gwenaig mo ahsihinam afa ehe og ma ehegelni onigig wahgifi, ese ehegel masa bulmakau tigi tuhulunim eheningim fingi fiawagfe.


eng: Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”

eng: who in the generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.

amn: Autunam ehe afwambanai elim hwatina eso heafgelni sawiegim pahlukiahufna.


eng: “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of the same nature as you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;

amn: “Afa mangigim ne enaigba esig? Kaningiba el big mungwalofug fig. Kaningiba ahbog nem lahlag mo ahfaig eso ne mwakwal godum wahinim eso ne wahigi God nofkikenagim onigini. Ehe of i bite i bu i mungwali gawig gafugafiageg.


eng: The priest of Jupiter, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have made a sacrifice along with the multitudes.

amn: Afa ena lalaba enanai yi el god Susni unehlagim fingi fifini enamba afwambagam kimbig wa gofna. Susni pris bulmakaum tagni wagwagifinim eso kimbig mengig gam wambug ambugoafna. Ehe fena afa mungwali el apaigona ogna kwagi wehlim eso eheningina unehlagim fingi fiawag.


eng: They called Barnabas “Jupiter”, and Paul “Mercury”, because he was the chief speaker.

amn: Afa Barnabasimba eba sefini Sus afa Pol eba hugna mo sihiaule ofenaiba god Hermes eso ehem sefini Hermes.


eng: When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”

amn: Afa el numb nanguni mahim Pol enaig esenamba eso ehengel Likoniana mona ambagwa esona og, “Sohna elbi eba sambaganigi god el lofug bigim pe ahbonug.”


eng: said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” He leaped up and walked.

amn: Eso Pol ehem ambagwa sihina og, “Buihia gohum!” Eso ehe pusoka gohnam so ikana.


eng: He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,

amn: Afa enanam mahim Pol lahlag mo sihiagofnamba enag el ena mo higina ofena. Afa so Pol ehem fahigenagenam anwanafena ehena olug onigig ati yuhwafeg eso God ehem wangenefe fatif.


eng: At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.

amn: Afa Listra kimbig waba el mong kukwaligni gafna. Enaig esenamba eba afag gwenaig wesig wa wanigana. Afa kwamblogfenam mas gominefena mo.


eng: There they preached the Good News.

amn: Afa so enanai yi Godna lahlag mo ahsihina.


eng: they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.

amn: Afa sambaganigi ena mo ahiginam distrik Likonia gam ahkana, afa enanai yi ahpugunamba eba Listra afa Derbe afa minginag kimbig muhwa gohkana.


eng: When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone them,

amn: Afa Ju el i afwambanai el i afa eheningina amunai el i ogna sambaganigi elim amtakwalihiaginim eso hun na kwaskofi.


eng: In Iconium, they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed.

amn: Pol i Barnabas i Aikoniam gam ahka ahpugunam Ju elni laskuhlag lala asaifuna gwenaig nihe ahfiahfena. Afa maia mo ahsihiafenamba ena mo elni olug fingi waikeskona asa kaksag Ju el i afa afwambanai el i Ainiyagim olug onigini.


eng: But the disbelieving Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers.

amn: Afa minginag Ju oniginigim kusini afa afwambanaim ikaghiagini og ma Kristenim olug kakagegoni.


eng: Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

amn: Afa sambaganigi mwakwalig nanai yi ahaganam Ainiyagna mo gwese ahsihiagofna. Afa eheningi ahanaig ahanaig kigmog esiagafenamba enamba Godna kigmogim wagfug afa enag afafeg mo ahsihinamba eba inim.


eng: But the multitude of the city was divided. Part sided with the Jews and part with the apostles.

amn: Afa enanai el bambuhiaginim, minginag Ju elni amunai elim pahagahuafna afa minginag kanog hwatieg el sambagam pahagahuafna.


eng: The disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

amn: Afa Antiok nai pahlukuiag elim Godna Sungwag yuhwa fiasainaba eso hugna sifakalini.


eng: But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.

amn: Enaig esafena, pugu hakafnamba smof mong yi nai buambu ahfenam ahkana. Enamba enaig eseg eba mas ena kimbigim ahfatigim gwesim Aikoniam kimbig ahkana.


eng: But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders.

amn: Afa Ju el kimbig wanai amunai el mi afa Godum lotu fenag misog angwafig mi ehegelni olugim wahigi fegonibi eso ehegel mas Pol mi Barnabas mi membegoni mo. Eso ehegel eheningim kinig faigona eso ehem enanai ningitigini.


eng: The Lord’s word was spread abroad throughout all the region.

amn: Afa so Ainiyagna mo ena bite wa fafukaminefena.


eng: As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of God. As many as were appointed to eternal life believed.

amn: Afa afwambanai ena mom higinim sifakalinim eso Ainiyagna mo fingi fukualina. Afa amangelim so God kanog hwatig nofkikena higeg gagba enag el Ainiyagim olug onigini.


eng: For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, ‘I have set you as a light for the Gentiles, that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.’”

amn: Afa Ainiyag kam esonig og; Ka nem afwambusug esenibi eso afwambanai el enam nangunim pahluguf eso ena mina God mungwali bite nai elim piske wambf.”


eng: Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, “It was necessary that God’s word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from yourselves, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.

amn: Afa Pol i Barnabas i hugna kifuti hogonam wahigi ahsihini og, “Eba inim yuwana kati nem Ju elim Godna mo ahfainimbi afa nimbe ne kusini afa mas ne nofkikena lahlag higeg gagim onigi mo. Naig fenamba na so ka nem ahwatigim afwambanai gam ka haka.


eng: But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.

amn: Afa Ju elni amunai el mahim enaksag elim nangwagnim ehengel kusiasaina afa so Polna mom pagau apaiyenam afa ahwanef mo faini.


eng: The next Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.

amn: Afa ming Isug Auguiag Osuna opugufnamba afa mungwali kimbig nai el ogna nuwagnam Ainiyagna mo higim.


eng: So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.

amn: Afa Pol i Barnabas i laskuhla lala fwaha hakofnamba afa enanai el esogoni og, “Sa ming Esug Auguiag Osuna pese ahblo gwenaig mo ahsihi.”


eng: Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.

amn: Afa so ena lala wahinim opuko afwambagam ahuna Ju el i afwambanai el i Pol mi Barnabas mi pahagahuna. Sonag afwambanai elbi Ju elni nihem pahlukuna. Afa sambaganigi lahlag mo ahfaini God ehengelim ismunagim kwaganig. Sa ma enanai yi saho agfohiefi.

eng: ‘Behold, you scoffers! Wonder and perish, for I work a work in your days, a work which you will in no way believe, if one declares it to you.’”

amn: Sa nangui, ne aman Godna mo masig fatig, so na numwehe onigifibi eba nem pigif. Eba ka mangim eseba eso ne sineminefif. Afa mahim el ena mog mo wagfugba, ne mas onigi.”


eng: and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

amn: Nilite, kog sa ne anwenafi Sisasba ehe mog moaba kagelni feg. Afa amban ehem olug oniginaiba eba God ehena amtakwalig mom fla fatinafe asa ehe Godna nofla afsug kabag pugufe. Afa Mosesna nihe mo mas enaig eseg mo.


eng: But he whom God raised up saw no decay.

amn: Afa ming elbi enamba God ilafo fatigba eba mas ehena elig nogig mo.


eng: For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, was laid with his fathers, and saw decay.

amn: “Afa Devit nofkike gafenamba Godna sawiegim pahlufefkuan mahim wahanamba. Afa ma bite wa fakinimbi ehe simbianigana kig i waheg nogig.


eng: Therefore he says also in another psalm, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’

amn: “Afa minginag mo enaig eseg; Mas ne nimbiafna lahlag gafugag elim wahiana mo eso bite meg gam ika nogig mo.


eng: “Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.’

amn: “Afa minginag moaba God sihig, eba ehem ilafo fatigba, eba mas ehena elig nogig mo. Ena mo enaig sihi feg og; Ka Devitim sihi wahiana ka ehem lahlag esenag. Enag sihi wahiag eba inim feg afa afsug kabag feg.


eng: that God has fulfilled this to us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, ‘You are my Son. Today I have become your father.’

amn: Afa ehe Sisasim ilafo fatigba eso ena mo inim bigel ehegelni luwaligim pugunug. Afa Baibelna mo Buk Song 2 wa enaig esog og; Yawo kaba neana awag eso neba kana leg.


eng: and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.

amn: Afa enaksag osuna hefum wagfunfini. Afa so yuwana el Galili wahifinim Jerusalem gam wanig ahuafenaba eso yawo nai mo Israel nai elim sihinigena mang so nofna nanguna.


eng: But God raised him from the dead,

eng: Now Herod was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. They came with one accord to him and, having made Blastus, the king’s personal aide, their friend, they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king’s country for food.

amn: Afa Herot Tair nai Saidon nai elim olug kakagen gofena. Asa ehegel onigini ehegelni kembigim mas fane kwagana mo asa laskuhlanam ogna nangui. Ilawana mo Blastusim Herotna misog gafugag elim sihini og ma kam kwagani. Asa afunam Herotim nangunim sahini og ma olug kakagig fwahai.

eng: But he, beckoning to them with his hand to be silent, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. He said, “Tell these things to James and to the brothers.” Then he departed and went to another place.

amn: Afa ehe ati Pitana mengigim higna eso sifakalenam ehe mengig pigiegim etetinam eso kikini piske ikanam sihina og, “Pitamba ati mengig wa bo go.”


eng: When Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.

amn: Pita ikanam mengig wa ningana tige gofena. Afa Roda gafugag angwafig eso ikanam ogna mengig pigi.


eng: Thinking about that, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was called Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.

amn: Afa mahim ehe enam anwanafenam eso Maria Jon Makna afagna lala gam ikana. Afa el numb enanai yi nuwagnam beteneafafna.


eng: When Peter had come to himself, he said, “Now I truly know that the Lord has sent out his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from everything the Jewish people were expecting.”

amn: Afa so Pita enam anwanafenam esona og, “Eba inim yawo ka ati anwanafeg eba Ainiyag heafna ofwanai elim ningihiagba eso kam Herotna ninga nai afa Ju el amtakwal kam ofinifini so nanai kam fag.”


eng: And he went out and followed him. He didn’t know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he saw a vision.

eng: And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, “Stand up quickly!” His chains fell off his hands.

eng: The same night when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains. Guards in front of the door kept the prison.

eng: When he had arrested him, he put him in prison and delivered him to four squads of four soldiers each to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover.

eng: Now about that time, King Herod stretched out his hands to oppress some of the assembly.

eng: As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;

eng: which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

amn: Gwenaig esini Barnabas mi Sol mi kig faigonam ningitigini asa enag kig uku Juda nai sios saglag elim ahfaina.

eng: When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

eng: The report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem. They sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch,

amn: Afa Jerusalem wanai sios ena mom higinim eso Barnabasim Antiok gam ningihini.


eng: The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.

amn: Afa Ainiyagna kigmog ehegelim guhunimbi eso el numb olug wahigifinim Ainiyagim onigini.


eng: But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.

amn: Afa minganag Saiprus nai afa Sairini nai el Antiok gam ahunam afa afwambanai elim gaba Sisas Ainiyag lahlag mo sihigoni.

amn: Afa ka onigig yuwana Ainiyag esona og, ‘Jon buna buwa elim aitig afa God heafna Sungwagni buwa nengelim aitig.’

amn: Afa autunam Godna Sungwag pe bo bigelim puguni afa enanam ka mo sihi gofenaba gwenaig esena ehegelim gaba puguni.


eng: He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa and get Simon, who is called Peter,

eng: who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’

amn: Afa ehe nem mo figagfo faif eso God nem gwena lala naim wambf.’


eng: The Spirit told me to go with them without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house.

eng: This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.

eng: But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, don’t you call unclean.’

amn: Afa God kam piske sihina og, ‘Mang so God sihig eba lahlag eso nofeka enam oniginam kwegim.’


eng: But I said, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’

amn: Afa ka wahigi sihina og, ‘Ainiyag, amo ka mas ese. Ena kwegig sisba mas kana mengig wa feg mo.’


eng: I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’

amn: Afa ka higinamba God kam sihina og, ‘Pita bihianam sisba sohnaba so kwagnefe.’


eng: When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky.

amn: Afa ka nangonamba ahanaig ahanaig sis i wutwai i afa twafig i saho agfogoafna.


eng: “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.

eng: saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!”

amn: “Enag el mas kukohiagig nihem pahluhug mo afa ne heafgelni lala fukog waneg. Nofeka enaig ese.”


eng: When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,

amn: Mahim Pita ika Jerusalem gam pugunamba pahlukuiag el kokohiawagig nihem pahlukuna eso ehem fenagini og,


eng: Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

amn: Kanog hwatieg el i afa Judia nai pahlukuiag el i higini, mahim afwambanai el Godna mo ati fini.


eng: He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.

amn: Eso Pita sihini sona el so ma Sisasna unehlag wa bu waba apaigo. Afa ehegel Pitam sahini og, “Sa kam mwakwalig wanaganam.”


eng: “Can anyone forbid these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.”

amn: “Sa nangu, enag elbi Godna Sungwag wambugbi eba big gwenaig mungwalofug big fig eso aman enag elim bu wa apaigoguba kwenife? Eba mas aman enaig esei.”


eng: For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,

amn: Afa higinibi enag el ahanaig ahanaig mona lagwaginim Godna unehlagim fingi fini. Eso Pita sihina og,


eng: They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the Gentiles.

amn: Afa Kristen Ju el Pitam wanig ambugonam nangunimbi afwambanai el so Godna Sungwag wambini eso ehegel enam sineminefini.


eng: While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.

amn: Pita mahimsi mo sihiagofenaba afa ena el mo higinibi eso Godna Sungwag pe bo mungwali ehengelim puguni.


eng: All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”

eng: He said to them, “You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I shouldn’t call any man unholy or unclean.

amn: Afa so mungwali sihini og, “Ne ati anwanafig kagelni Ju elni nihe mo enaig esona, Ju el nofeka afwambanai elni lala ahu saigonam wahinim augu. Eba God ati kam wagfunag ka mas minganag elim kwenam afa esoi nengel Godna nofwa nuhwef el.


eng: As he talked with him, he went in and found many gathered together.

eng: But Peter raised him up, saying, “Stand up! I myself am also a man.”

amn: Afa Pita ehem fukwa fukunam esona og, “Bihia, kagaba elhe.”


eng: When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, fell down at his feet, and worshiped him.

amn: Afa mahim Pita lala megam asahofnaba eso Kornilius bo muhwa pugunam mongkokini kwakwage penam hefum ahnai skaufena.


eng: On the next day they entered into Caesarea. Cornelius was waiting for them, having called together his relatives and his near friends.

amn: Afa ming osuna ahu Sisaria kimbig opukona. Kornilius Pitam nengiaufnaba eso heafna nilite mi hihe mi une tiginam heafna lala nuwagigna.


eng: So he called them in and provided a place to stay. On the next day Peter arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.

amn: Eso Pita lala megam sulfu wan sahokana wangafna. Afa askanam pigiagafenam Pita mungwal ahufefnamba eso minganag Jopa nai Ainiyagna el mungwali ahuna.

amn: Eso Pita penam elim esoni og, “Kaho ne kam yisgi ambugog. Ahnaig esegba so na ambugog?”


eng: But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”

amn: Eso peka nangwag, nofeka ahuiagim kusi. Eba kikehe ningitigig.”


eng: While Peter was pondering the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men seek you.

amn: Pita mahim ena itiwa lofug nanguna enam onigaufnaba afa Godna Sungwag ehem sihina og, “Hai so nangu sambaga mungo el nem yisgi ambugog.


eng: and called and asked whether Simon, who was also called Peter, was lodging there.

amn: Ehengel une sahini og, “Saimon afa ming unehlag sefig Pita ohiahogo?”


eng: Now while Peter was very perplexed in himself what the vision which he had seen might mean, behold, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made inquiry for Simon’s house, stood before the gate,

amn: Afa Pita enam nangunam hugna onigeaufna. Enam elim Kornilius ningitiginaba eso lalam yisgi ahuian mengig wa agfohiafna.


eng: This was done three times, and immediately the thing was received up into heaven.

eng: A voice came to him again the second time, “What God has cleansed, you must not call unclean.”

amn: Afa God ehem piske sihina og, “Mang so God sihig eba lahlag eso nofeka enam oniginam kwegim.”


eng: But Peter said, “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is common or unclean.”

amn: Afa Pita esona og, “Ainiyag, amo yo ka mas ese. Ka mas ena kwegig sisba neafna mo.”


eng: A voice came to him, “Rise, Peter, kill and eat!”

amn: Afa Pita higinamba God ehem sihinagofna og, “Pita bihianam sisba sohnaba so kwagnefe.”


eng: He saw heaven opened and a certain container descending to him, like a great sheet let down by four corners on the earth,

amn: Afa ehe nangonamba of piginam nalig lofug sambaga sambaga angsambona enaig pe bona.


eng: in which were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, reptiles, and birds of the sky.

eng: He became hungry and desired to eat, but while they were preparing, he fell into a trance.

amn: Mahim biniwahanaba ehe ogna fane ne afa mahim fane numwehiagifinibi. Enanam itiwa lofug nanguna.


eng: Now on the next day as they were on their journey and got close to the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray at about noon.

amn: Askanam so ka osu misosuf gigni Jopa muhwa opukogum ofefenaba afa Pita lala sisi gam fukokanam betenena.


eng: Having explained everything to them, he sent them to Joppa.

eng: He is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the seaside.

eng: Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is also called Peter.

amn: Eso elim Jopa gam ningitigiba so ahu Saimonim wanig ambugog afa ming unehlagba Pita.


eng: He, fastening his eyes on him and being frightened, said, “What is it, Lord?” He said to him, “Your prayers and your gifts to the needy have gone up for a memorial before God.

amn: Afa ehe nangunam embefena og, “Amunai, mang mahim?” Afa ofwanai el wahigi sihina og, “God ati neana sahanagim higig afa so na gawig hwainig elim kwaganig enaba ati anwanafegim eso onigina go.


eng: Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment,

eng: He stayed many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.

eng: This became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.

eng: Peter sent them all out, and knelt down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.

amn: Pita afwambagam ningitiginam eso mongkokini kwakwagenam so Godum sahna. Ehe wahigi meligim nangunam eso sona og, “Tabita so bihia.” Eso ehena nofug bahia Pitam nangunam bihiana.


eng: Peter got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper room. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the tunics and other garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.

amn: Eso Pita pahag ika pugunam afa sisyi lala megam fukwali wanigahuna. Afa mungwali esig bulwag angwafig bigiagafenam Pitam wahigifakanam wewatoni. Afa ahanaig ahanaig lofug so Dorkas nofkena gafenaba kwelugefenam mimagen fini enam Pitam wagfuni.


eng: As Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them.

amn: Jopaba Lida muhwa. Afa pahlukuiag el higinim mahim Pita Lida wa gafenaba eso sambaganigi ningitigina ehem ahnangonam hugna sohona og, “Hei, so ikagna bo.”

amn: Afa enanam ehem gihenam eso wahana. Afa so meligim bu wa sugfunaginim figagfo sisyi lala megam faki wahini.


eng: Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which when translated means Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.

eng: As Peter went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.

eng: So the assemblies throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.

eng: preaching boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus. He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.

eng: He was with them entering into Jerusalem,

amn: Eso Sol mungwal auguiafena afa Jerusalem wa Ainiyagna mom kifutig mo sihiageakana.


eng: But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.

eng: but their plot became known to Saul. They watched the gates both day and night that they might kill him,

eng: But rise up and enter into the city, then you will be told what you must do.”

eng: He said, “Who are you, Lord?” The Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.

amn: Sol esona og, “Amunai, neba aman?” Afa esona og, “Kaho Sisas ena elim so nokawo amtakwaleafla.

eng: When 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.

amn: Afa mahim bu wanai pugu ahbonaba eso ikagna Godna Sungwag Filipim suguafa wanikana, afa sona el mas piske nanguna mo eso ehe mo mina gam ikafenaba sifakalena.


eng: He commanded the chariot to stand still, and they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him.

amn: Afa amunai heafna gafugag elim sihina hosna sime kikeahla. Mahim sime gofenaba afa ahpenam bu gam ahkana eso Filip Itiopia nai misog elim bu wa fatina.

amn: Afa mina wa ahkan ika buwa pugunam afa ena misog el sihina og, “Buba ahuigi. Mang kam bu wa pegimba kagfugu.”


amn: Afa mina la ahkan ika bula pugunam afa ena misog el sihina og, “Buba hogi. Mango kam bu la pegimba kagfugu.”


eng: Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture, preached to him about Jesus.

amn: Eso Filip ena mo mog wa fa fakanam eso gwesim Sisasna lahlag mo sihiakana.


eng: The eunuch answered Philip, “Who is the prophet talking about? About himself, or about someone else?”

amn: Afa enag el Filipim sahna og, “Sa kam sihina, Godna mo fa sihiaule el hefum esog me awai ming elim me?”


eng: In his humiliation, his judgment was taken away. Who will declare His generation? For his life is taken from the earth.”

amn: Afa el sihina og, “Ahnaig anwana kafef, mas ka aman wagfunai.” Afa Filipim sihina og, “Au fuko bo na ohunanai yi ahagag.”


eng: Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, “Do you understand what you are reading?”

amn: Eso Filip kikini ika muhwa pugunam afa so higina mahim el Aisaiana ginof osuwigfena. Afa Filip sahna og, “Enag ginofba ateaho ne anwanafeg?”

eng: He 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.

amn: Eso ehe ikana. Afa ikafenaba Itiopia wanai elim mina wa ufana. Enag elbi Itiopia misog angwafig Kandasina gafugag el. Ehe ehena kigim nangwaghiage gofena. Enag elbi Jerusalem gam ikanam eso Godum fingi fena.

amn: Afa Ainiyagna ofwanai el bo Filipim enaig sihifena og, “Buihianam bite bihig mina ika. Ena minaba Jerusalem wahiagim eso Gasa gam ikag.”


eng: They 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.

amn: Afa Pita i Jon i Ainiyagna mo afa mang God eso esena ena mo ahsihinam eso Jerusalem gam piske ahkana. Afa Samaria enaksag kimbig ahakafenaba ena Godna mo ahsihiakana.

amn: Afa Saimon wahigi sihini og, “Ainiyagim ahsahanaiba so ma kam afafenai eso ne kam sihinag enaig mas so kam pugunafe.”


eng: For I see that you are in the poison of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity.”

amn: Ka ati anwanafeg neana olug yi eba ambo bughiageg afa nimbiafena amtakwalig nihe nem kehlagu.”


eng: Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.

amn: Eso ne enaig onigig wahianam Godum sihinaiba eso ma neana enaig onigigim fa fatinai.


eng: But Peter said to him, “May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!

amn: Afa Pita esona og, “Sa ma nem kig nangum awaiye asa ne onigig ne oka kig fatinam asa Godna mangwal suialag fla.


eng: You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart isn’t right before God.

amn: Enaig olug mas Godna nof wa yuhwafeg mo eso ne mas kagelni gafuga wa seahui.


amn: Enaig olug mas Godna nof la ihlafeg mo asa ne mas kagelni gafuga la seaifui.


eng: Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money,

amn: Afa Saimon nangwagnam mahim sambaganigi kanog hwatieg el ninga askonabi eso ehegel Sungwag fini. Eso Saimon ogna kig fainim og,


eng: saying, “Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.”

amn: “Sa ma kam kifutig ahfai ka so kangaba amanim ninga fakaiba so ma Godna Sungwag fai.”


eng: Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,

amn: Afa kanog fwatieg el Jerusalem la higinim maia Samaria lanai el Godna mo flinibi asa Pita mi Jon mi esim ningitigini.


eng: who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;

amn: Afa ika ahpugunam beten ahfini afa amangel el so olug onigi so ma Godna Sungwag fi.


eng: for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of Christ Jesus.

amn: Ahanaig esenaba Godna Sungwag mas ehegelim pe boni mo. Enag elbi Sisas Ainiyagna unehlag wa buwa apaigona.


eng: Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

amn: Eso Pita i Jon i ninga sisyi misog wa askonibi eso ehegel Godna Sungwag fini.


amn: Asa Pita i Jon i ninga sisi yi misog la askonibi asa ehegel Godna Sungwabug fini.


eng: Simon himself also believed. Being baptized, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed.

amn: Saimon gaba Filipna mo olug onigigna fanam eso buwa pena. Afa so ehe Filip nai yi muhwa gofenam nangwafena mahim Filip ahanaig ahanaig Godna kigmogim wagfuiafenaba eso enam nangunam sineminefena.

amn: Afa mahim Filip Godna bog meg lahlag mo afa Sisas Kraisna unehlag sihinaba eso el higinim afa olug onigigna finim eso kwamblo i angwafig i bu wa apaigona.

eng: to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is that great power of God.”

amn: Amunai el i afa isug el i ena mo higinim eso esogona og, “Inim, sona elbi ena god sefig ‘Eba Nalig Kifutig’”.


eng: But 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,

amn: Afa Samaria wanai el mungo, Saimon, ehe fagseg wambug el afa ahanaig ahanaig kigmog fiahageakafule el feg. Afa mungwali Samaria wanai el nangunim sineminefini. Afa enag ehe heafna unehlam fingi fukuna og, hei kikehe.


eng: There was great joy in that city.

amn: Eso enag kimbig wanai hugna sifakalini.


eng: For 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.

amn: Afa eso enaig esena nimbasa famoasiwatunam enaksag elni nihinai sugfuhia apukoahuna. Afa el numb elig lihligna el mi afa mong lihligna el mi lahla fiahsaiana.


eng: The multitudes listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip when they heard and saw the signs which he did.

amn: Afa el numb higahufenaba afa onigigem ahufena afa ehena kifutigim nanguni.


eng: Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed to them the Christ.

amn: Filip Samaria nai kimbig gam ikanam Krais, Godna Gishu Wahiag Elni mo sihini.


eng: Therefore those who were scattered abroad went around preaching the word.

amn: Afa el so ahunam gwesim minganag kimbig gam Godna mo sihiageahuna.


eng: But Saul ravaged the assembly, entering into every house and dragged both men and women off to prison.
