amn: Afa Pol sihina og, “Ka mas anwanafeg mo mahimsi me awai gohnana me eso ne Kristen nafef. Afa ka Godum sahanaiba soma mungwali el ohunanai yi gohka afa ne so na ka lofug fi afa ka mas enaig membeg mo ne kalabus el lofu fi.”

amn: Afa Agripa Polim sihina og, “Ne ahanaig onigig, mwakwalig ma ne kam esenaiba so ka Kristenne.”


eng: King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe.”

amn: Afa misog el Agripa ne Godna mo fi sihiaule elni mo ati ne onigig eba inim.”


eng: For the king knows of these things, to whom also I speak freely. For I am persuaded that none of these things is hidden from him, for this has not been done in a corner.

amn: Afa Pol ehem sihina og, “Amunai el Festus, kaba mas ka moetetig mo. Eba kana moba inim fegim ati mog feg.


eng: As he thus made his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “Paul, you are crazy! Your great learning is driving you insane!”

amn: Afa mahim Pol mo sihiagofnaba afa Festus ehena mo tufati mungwag sihina eso hugna wagna og, “Pol, ne hugna anwanafeagegim afa enag anwanag nem moetetiafag.”

amn: “O misog el Agripa eba enaig esegba so ka heven wa nai itiwa lofug nanguna enam mas ka flafui, eba awai.


eng: to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

amn: “Afa ka membeg Damaskus wa ika ena gafugafe eso amunai Pris sawifegim eso kam ginofegim faig. Noso ka ikag.


eng: I also did this in Jerusalem. I both shut up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death I gave my vote against them.

eng: Why is it judged incredible with you if God does raise the dead?

eng: Now I stand here to be judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers,

eng: which our twelve tribes, earnestly serving night and day, hope to attain. Concerning this hope I am accused by the Jews, King Agrippa!

eng: “I think myself happy, King Agrippa, that I am to make my defense before you today concerning all the things that I am accused by the Jews,

amn: “Misog el Agripa, autunam Ju el kam sehinig asa glau ka sifakaleg ne kana mom mungwag higinag.


eng: especially because you are expert in all customs and questions which are among the Jews. Therefore I beg you to hear me patiently.

amn: Ne ati Ju elni nihem afa heafgelni ninimu mom anwenafenig asa ka fwina sifakaleg. Ilawo ka nem sahana ugwegafenam asa kana mom higina.


eng: Agrippa said to Paul, “You may speak for yourself.” Then Paul stretched out his hand, and made his defense.

amn: Afa Agripa Polim sihina og, “Ka nem wahiana ma ne nimbiafena mom sihiageba.” Eso Pol ninga nenugenam eso heafna mo sihiagena.


eng: For it seems to me unreasonable, in sending a prisoner, not to also specify the charges against him.”

amn: Masa ka kalabus elim Sisar nangum ningihiaiba afa ka heafna ahanaig mom esegim sihia hwanigba.”


eng: of whom I have no certain thing to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him out before you, and especially before you, King Agrippa, that, after examination I may have something to write.

eng: But when I found that he had committed nothing worthy of death, and as he himself appealed to the emperor, I determined to send him,

amn: Afa mas ka ehena ahanaigim ufag mo na kog soma wahai. Afa ehe enaig esog Sisar so kam kwefihianage na ka wahiagim eso koka Rom gam ningihia.


eng: So on the next day, when Agrippa and Bernice had come with great pomp, and they had entered into the place of hearing with the commanding officers and the principal men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.

amn: Afa lawam Agripa i Bernaisi i gau ati ahfenam eso ahbonam nalig lala ahsahonam eso pe ahagena. Afa enanai yiba el numb nuwagnaba eba gavmanna misog el i afa kimbig wa nai na amunai el i gofena. Eso Festus soldiam sihini ahu Polim wanig ambugog. Mahim wanig ambugonaba eso

amn: Afa Agripa Festusim sihina og, “Ka kangaba ehena mo higinage.” Afa Festus wahigi sihina og, “Sini, so na higim.”


eng: But when Paul had appealed to be kept for the decision of the emperor, I commanded him to be kept until I could send him to Caesar.”

amn: Afa Pol kifutig sihig ka membeg Romna nalig misog el so ma kam kwefihianage eso ka soldiam sihini gwese wanig fafiba ka so kike Sisar nangum ningihia.”


eng: Being perplexed how to inquire concerning these things, I asked whether he was willing to go to Jerusalem and there be judged concerning these matters.

amn: Ka ena mom higigim afa mas ka numweheg ena mogim anwanafeg mo eso ka mas yuhwafeg mo enam kwefihiagegim eso ka Polim sahna namba Jerusalem gamba akafiba enanai yi ka so ena mom kwefihiage.


eng: When the accusers stood up, they brought no charges against him of such things as I supposed;

amn: Afa mahim wanig ambugonaba ka enaig onigig ehengel esofinibi eba mang nalig ehe feg afa eba awai.


eng: When therefore they had come together here, I didn’t delay, but on the next day sat on the judgment seat and commanded the man to be brought.

amn: Afa mahim ambugogba mas ka mahimsi fegofi eba ka ming osuna ka gagim eso koka kwefihiage eso ka soldiam sihinigbi so ehem wanig ambugog.


eng: I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to give up any man to destruction before the accused has met the accusers face to face and has had opportunity to make his defense concerning the matter laid against him.

amn: Afa ka sihig Romna nihe enaig eseg kangel elim kotim finif eba mungwag wahigi gohnam eso aman mo ehem sehianag eso misog el enam kwefihinagef.


eng: about whom, when I was at Jerusalem, the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, asking for a sentence against him.

amn: Afa mahim ka Jerusalem gam ikanaba amunai pris i afa Juni amunai el i ehem amtakwalig mo fafaiye finim afa kam sahini og kam ogma ehem kufenai.


eng: As he stayed there many days, Festus laid Paul’s case before the king, saying, “There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix;

amn: Afa mwakwalig augunam eso Festus ehem Polna mom sihinagena og, “Autunam Feliks elim kalabus yi wahiana.


eng: Then Festus, when he had conferred with the council, answered, “You have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar you shall go.”

amn: Afa Festus anwana elim sihinagenam afa piske bo Polim sihina og, “Ne membeg Sisar nem kwefihianagegba eso ne ika Sisarim nangu.”


eng: For if I have done wrong and have committed anything worthy of death, I don’t refuse to die; but if none of those things is true that they accuse me of, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar!”

amn: Afa ateamba ahanaig ka esegba eba sekam tigi ka mas ahanaig esoi. Afa ehengelni mo mwakwalegba eba mas aman kam ehengelni ninga wa wahiai. Ka membeg Romna nalig misog el Sisar ma kam kwefihianage!”


eng: But Paul said, “I am standing before Caesar’s judgment seat, where I ought to be tried. I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you also know very well.

amn: Afa Pol wahigi sihina og, “Nembe ati anwanafeg ka mas Ju elim mang fenig mo. Ohuna Romna kot ati yuhwafeg mangofi nofena kam Jerusalem gamba ningihi masa kam Ju el kwefihianagif.


eng: But Festus, desiring to gain favor with the Jews, answered Paul and said, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and be judged by me there concerning these things?”

amn: Festus membena ogma Ju el sifakali eso ehe Polim sahna og, “Aseg so na Jerusalem gam piske ikai ka so nem enanai yi sehianagim kwefihianage?”


eng: while he said in his defense, “Neither against the law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar, have I sinned at all.”

amn: Pol enaig sihifena og, “Ka mas aseg mo. Afa Ju elni nihe mo mi afa Godna nalig lala mi afa Sisar Romna misog elni mo mi ka mas flafug mo.”


eng: When he had come, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing against him many and grievous charges which they could not prove,

amn: Afa mahim Pol bo pugunaba eso Ju amunai el Jerusalem wa nai ambugonam Polim wahigifakanam ahanaig ahanaig mo sehini. Afa ehengelni mo mas mog fena mo.


eng: When he had stayed among them more than ten days, he went down to Caesarea, and on the next day he sat on the judgment seat, and commanded Paul to be brought.

amn: Festus 10 pela osuna enaigna Jerusalem wanganam eso Sisaria gam pe wankanam afa so ming osuna sihinibi soma Polim wangi ambugoi ogna so Polna mo kwefihianagi.


eng: “Let them therefore”, he said, “that are in power among you go down with me, and if there is anything wrong in the man, let them accuse him.”

amn: Afa so minginag goseg elim ningitigibi ka so wanka soma ahu Polim piske sehibi ka so kwefihianage ateamba asegba.”


eng: However Festus answered that Paul should be kept in custody at Caesarea, and that he himself was about to depart shortly.

amn: Festus sihini og, “Pol eyi Sisaria wa kalabus yi ga mas ka managei eba ka piske ikaf.


eng: asking a favor against him, that he would summon him to Jerusalem, plotting to kill him on the way.

amn: “Kam kwaganam eso Polim Jerusalem gam ningihia.” Festus ehengelni onigigim mas anwanafeni mo eba ehengel ogna Polim mina wa meagam tigifati.


eng: Then the high priest and the principal men of the Jews informed him against Paul, and they begged him,

amn: Ehe ika enanai yi pugunamba amunai pris i afa Ju amunai el i ambugog ehem ufinim ogna Polim sehinim eso ehe hugna sahini og,


eng: Festus therefore, having come into the province, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

amn: Festus provins wa ika pugunam ehe nanai yi sambaga mungo osuna Sisaria mo wahianam eso Jerusalem gam ikana.


eng: But when two years were fulfilled, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus, and desiring to gain favor with the Jews, Felix left Paul in bonds.

amn: Feliks Polim kalabus yi gwesim wahiana soma Ju el enaigim sifakali. Afa sambaga yia enaig fenaba eso Porsius Festus Feliksna kugum fana.


eng: Meanwhile, he also hoped that money would be given to him by Paul, that he might release him. Therefore also he sent for him more often and talked with him.

amn: Afa ehe enaig onigina og Pol ehe kam kig waskosum sihinago eso soldiam sihinibi so ehengel Polim wanig ambugona eso ehe Pol i higeg sihiag ahfegofena.


eng: As he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was terrified, and answered, “Go your way for this time, and when it is convenient for me, I will summon you.”

amn: Afa mahim Pol lahlag nihe mo mi afa el hefum numwehef kug mo mi afa God elim kwefihiageg mo mi sihiagenaba. Afa Feliks enag mom higinam embefena eso Polim esona og “Magwese, ka ma fian nem awamonaiba so na piske bo kam sihina.”


eng: After some days, Felix came with Drusilla his wife, who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ Jesus.

amn: Afa ming nana Feliks i heafna angwag i ahkana lala meg gam ahpugunam Polim ahunenaba eso Pol bona afa eheningi Polna mo ahigina Pol so Krais Sisasim onigina. Feliks na angwagba Drusila eba Ju angwafig.


eng: He ordered the centurion that Paul should be kept in custody and should have some privileges, and not to forbid any of his friends to serve him or to visit him.

amn: Afa ehe soldia sihini Polim kalabus yi fatibi afa nofeka ningana kikehli soma heafna hihe numwehe fefugufi.


eng: But Felix, having more exact knowledge concerning the Way, deferred them, saying, “When Lysias, the commanding officer, comes down, I will decide your case.”

amn: Afa Feliks Kristenna mina ati anwanafena afa ehe esoni og, “Mahim soldiana misog el Lisias boiba ka so ena mo kwefihiage. Sa ahu.”


eng: unless it is for this one thing that I cried standing among them, ‘Concerning the resurrection of the dead I am being judged before you today!’”

amn: Ka mas ahanaig eseg mo eba inim ka enaig mungo mo esog, ‘Ka enaig onigig melig pigieg el piske bigiagafef naso ne kam fahigenagig.’ Ka onigig ena mo kaunsilim olug kakag faskofeg.”


eng: Or else let these men themselves say what injustice they found in me when I stood before the council,

amn: Afa awaiba fegba, sona el so agfohie soma nem sihini, enanam so ka kaunselna nof wa go ateamba ka mang fegba.


eng: They ought to have been here before you and to make accusation if they had anything against me.

eng: Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings;

amn: “Ati ka ming kimbig minginag yia wa gag, enag ka Jerusalem gam piske bog. Afa ka kig wambunam koka kikeafena elim wambwaim aman so gawig awaienig. Afa ka membeg koka ikanam Godna nalig lala wa Godum sis fai.


eng: In this I also practice always having a conscience void of offense toward God and men.

amn: Enaig esegba naso ka God afa elni nof wa kifutiaka.


eng: having hope toward God, which these also themselves look for, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

amn: Kana onigig gwenaig ehengel nai yi mungwalofug, autunai wa lahlag el mi afa amtakwalig el mi eso pigieg soma God ehengelim ilafuaiti eso kagel enam nisanago.


eng: Nor can they prove to you the things of which they now accuse me.

amn: Eba ehe mina yisigigim kam og eba inim eseaka enag kam sehig, amo ena moba eba mang ini mo.


eng: In the temple they didn’t find me disputing with anyone or stirring up a crowd, either in the synagogues or in the city.

eng: The Jews also joined in the attack, affirming that these things were so.

eng: By examining him yourself you may ascertain all these things of which we accuse him.”

amn: Eso neaga nem ehem sahanage so na anwanafena ena mungwali mo so ka ehem kufinig eba inimfeg.”


eng: He even tried to profane the temple, and we arrested him.

amn: Afa mingba ehe ogna Godna kwania lalam amtakwale fati na sa ka ehem kehlig.


eng: For we have found this man to be a plague, an instigator of insurrections among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.

eng: When he was called, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, “Seeing that by you we enjoy much peace, and that prosperity is coming to this nation by your foresight,

eng: After five days, the high priest, Ananias, came down with certain elders and an orator, one Tertullus. They informed the governor against Paul.

eng: When they came to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.

amn: Afa ahu Sisaria wa opukonam gavmanna misog elim pas fainim afa Polim ehena ninga wa wahini.


eng: But on the next day they left the horsemen to go with him, and returned to the barracks.

eng: So the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris.

amn: Afa so soldia gwenaig esini Polim suluflinim sinaini Antipatris kimbig gam wanig ahuna.


eng: When I was told that the Jews lay in wait for the man, I sent him to you immediately, charging his accusers also to bring their accusations against him before you. Farewell.”

amn: Afa Pol nangunam anwanafeni sambaganigi enaig elim agfofenamba Sadyusi el i afa Farisi el i eso ehe kaunsilim hugna wagna og, “Nilite, ka gaba ka i afa kana awag i eba Farisi el ka enaig onigig kehlagu el so wahagim eso piske bihiag. Na so ka nengelni nof wa gohba afa ne kam fahigianagig.”

amn: Afa mahim enaig sihifenaba eso Farisi el i afa Sadyusi el i pwatihiaginim hefum fiflafeagini.


eng: For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor angel, nor spirit; but the Pharisees confess all of these.

eng: Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! Do you sit to judge me according to the law, and command me to be struck contrary to the law?”

amn: Afa el Pol nai yi muhla afofenaba misog pris Ananaias ehengelim esoni Polna memtogim tigi.


eng: But on the next day, desiring to know the truth about why he was accused by the Jews, he freed him from the bonds and commanded the chief priests and all the council to come together, and brought Paul down and set him before them.

eng: “Brothers and fathers, listen to the defense which I now make to you.”

eng: When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,

eng: Coming to us and taking Paul’s belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, “The Holy Spirit says: ‘So the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”

amn: Ehe bonam Polna afiai hugufa hefum mong mi ninga mi enana kikenaginam afa esona og, “Godna Sungwag enaig sihifeg ‘Jerusalem wa nai Ju el amanim heafna afiaini kikenagifi eso gwenaig esef, afa ehem angoluwagna ninga wa fakif.’”

amn: Afa kangel ehengelim wasanam afa misosuf bot wa ahuna Kos ailan wa opukona. Afa ming osuna ka Rodes wa ahu opukonam eso Patara kimbig wa opukona.


eng: They all wept freely, and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him,

amn: Afa ehengel mungwali wewatonam afa ehem ningana kikenagim eso esogona nasabam eyi ne ikafif.


eng: When he had spoken these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.

amn: Afa mahim Pol mo sihi wahianam eso ehe ehengel enanam mongkokini kwakwagenim so betenini.


eng: In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

amn: Enaig ka mungwali eseagegba eba ka nem wagfunug so big minginag euwiaug elim kwaganim. Afa ka Sisas Ainiyagna mo onigig ehe enaig esog ‘Afa enanam ne fagba eba lahlafeg afa enanam ne faigba eba hugna lahlag nemug feg.’”


eng: I coveted no one’s silver, gold, or clothing.

amn: Ka mas amana silvam, golim afa lofugum membena mo, eba awai.


eng: You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities, and those who were with me.

amn: Ati ne anwanafig ka mas nem esoni ka kike kiafena ningana gafugafegim kefum feg afa kikeafena mungo gafuganaim kweafug.


eng: Now, brothers, I entrust you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

amn: “Afa yawo ka nem Godna ninga wa awasan afa heafna afafeg mo soma nem kwagani eso nengel lahlafifig afa enaigba God heafna elim enaig esenig.


eng: Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I didn’t cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.

amn: Eso enam numwehifibi afa nofeka eteti sambaga mungo yia osuna sinaini higeg ka nem nombna wahe sihinifini.


eng: For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

amn: Ati ka anwanafeg mahim ka nem wasanig ikaiba minginag el ogna ambugog nem amtakwalhiagi. Enaig sangwali mawang lofug ambugog sipsipim kwaskofif.


eng: Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

amn: Afa minginag nengel nai opukonam wahigifenam nem mwakwal mo sihigonigba eso ehengel membeg ne ehengelim pahlugahuf.


amn: Afa minginag nengel nai apukenam waikefenam nem mwakwal mo sihigonigba asa ehengel membeg ne ehengelim patagafufe.


eng: Take heed, therefore, to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood.

amn: Afa Godna Sungwag nem siosna misog el kanog hwatig eso nimbefum mi afa mungwali sios el mi numwehifim eso el sipsipim nangwaghiagfafef eso enaig fi. Enamba ati Ainiyag heafna tafna enag elim mungwali wambug.


eng: for I didn’t shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.

amn: Ka mungwali Godna sawieg mo faig mas ka mungo kumwahlag mo. Eso ka nem inim osihin aman mungo awaiegba eba mang kana moawa mo.


eng: “Now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I went about preaching God’s Kingdom, will see my face no more.

amn: “Afa ka mungwali kimbig wagiakafna Godna bog meg mo nem sihinifini. Yawo ka nem wasanigba afa ka anwanafeg ne mas kam piske nangui.


eng: But these things don’t count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.

amn: Afa ka mas onigig kikefumba afa kaba mungo onigig feg Ainiyag Sisas gafugag kam faig ka so gafugag okwian augi enaba Godna afafeg lahlag mo ka sihiageg.


eng: except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me.

eng: testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus.

amn: Ju el mi afa Grik el mi ka gwenaig esonig so olug waikifinim Godum onigini eso Sisas Ainiyagim olug onigina hufum.

amn: Ne ati anwanafig ena mo so nem kwaganig eba ka mas kehlagufi. Eso ka nem nuwagig guhug wa i afa nengelni mungo mungo lala i sihinigiafena.


eng: serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews;

eng: When they had come to him, he said to them, “You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you all the time,

amn: Afa mahim ambugog opukenamba afa esoni og, “Yuwana ka Esia provins wa pugunam nem nangwagnam afa bo yiauwofeg enamba ati ne anwanafig eso ka ahanaig ahanaig esagena.


eng: From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called to himself the elders of the assembly.

amn: Afa Pol Miletus wa gafena Efesusna sios amunai elim mo ningihiana og, “Kam ambugog nangu.”


eng: For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.

amn: Pol ogna Jerusalem gam ikagna ika puguiba soma Pentikos buyis pugui. Afa ehe oniginam masa ka se hugna Esia provins wa gafuf eso ka sip yi Efesusim kwegfu ahuna.


eng: Sailing from there, we came the following day opposite Chios. The next day we touched at Samos and stayed at Trogyllium, and the day after we came to Miletus.

amn: Afa ka sip yi Mitilini wahinim afa ming osuna ka Kios wa opukonam afa ming osuna ka Samos wa opukonam afa ming osuna ka Miletus gam opukona.


eng: When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and came to Mitylene.

amn: Afa mahim ka ehem Asos wa ufinim eso ehe sip yi fukonamba so ka mungwal Mitilini gam ahuna.


eng: But we, going ahead to the ship, set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there; for he had so arranged, intending himself to go by land.

amn: Pol kangelim esoni og, “Ne gof sip yi Asos gam ahuf afa kaba bite mina sum bof. Afa enanai yi so ka nem bo wambunam so big sip yi mungwal ahuf.” Eso ka enaig esini.


eng: They brought the boy in alive, and were greatly comforted.

amn: Afa ena luwal piske bihianamba eso heafna lala gam wanigahuna, afa so ehengelni olug lahla feskofena.


eng: When he had gone up, had broken bread and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even until break of day, he departed.

amn: Afa piske sisyi megig gam fukoli ahunam afa Ainiyagna fane finim afa fane mo ahgagini. Afa mo sihiagiafan ikan si ambafiakanaba Pol wasana ikana.


eng: Paul went down and fell upon him, and embracing him said, “Don’t be troubled, for his life is in him.”

amn: Afa Pol penam ehena nihiginim ningana kikenagenam afa esona og “Nofeka kusguni eba nofkena gi.”


eng: A certain young man named Eutychus sat in the window, weighed down with deep sleep. As Paul spoke still longer, being weighed down by his sleep, he fell down from the third floor and was taken up dead.

amn: Afa luwal kwamblog heafna unehlagba Yutikus ena lala meg sigagwa agafenamba noftuta fiaufena. Afa mahim Pol mo mungwanam sihiagofnaba eba ati nongifini afa ehem so noninai bite gam tigefu pekana. Afa apaigona kikehlinimbi ati wahana.


eng: There were many lights in the upper room where we were gathered together.

amn: Ena lala meg ka nuwaganamba eba sisyi gofna afa enanai yiba enaksag lam kagi hwatini.


eng: On the first day of the week, when the disciples were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day; and continued his speech until midnight.

amn: Afa Sande kangel nuwagnam Ainiyagna fane fini. Afa Pol ogna lawam ika afa so ehe Godna mo sihiagegohun ika mongokuk liputegna puguna.


eng: We sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we stayed seven days.

eng: These accompanied him as far as Asia: Sopater of Beroea, Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, Gaius of Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.

amn: Afa Sopater Pirusna leg eba Beria nai el afa Aristarkas i Sekundus i afa sambaganigi Tesalonaika nai afa Gaius Derbe nai fena afa Tikikus i Trofimus i eba Esia nai ahfena afa Timoti fena asa mungwali Pol wanikana.

amn: Afa ehengel gof ahunam Troas wa kangelim nengegon nafafiba.


amn: Afa ehengel gof afunam Troas la kangelim nengegon naflafiba.


eng: When he had spent three months there, and a plot was made against him by Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.

amn: Afa Pol Siria gam bot wa ikagim ofefnamba eso higina Ju el mo sihiag ofifinibi ogna ehem tigi eso ehe ming onigig fanam og naso Masedonia mina gam eso Jerusalem gam piske ika.

amn: Afa enanai yi enaksag kimbig fapugu fiahkafnaba enaksag mo elim kifutihiageikan ika Grik wa ika pugunam enanai i sambaga mungo was fatina.


eng: After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia.

amn: Afa enag flafihiagig mo mahim wesig fenaba eso Pol Kristenim awamonim eso kifutihiagenam og ne yi auguiafuf. Afa so enana mo wahianam eso Masedonia gam ikana.


eng: For indeed we are in danger of being accused concerning today’s riot, there being no cause. Concerning it, we wouldn’t be able to give an account of this commotion.” When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.

amn: Afa yawo osuna big el numb nuwagigim mo flafihiagig enag nuwagimba mas mog feg mo. Atiamba Romna misog el bigim kotim ofenfibi eba bimbeafgelni moawa. Afa ehe gwenaig esenim eso elim ningitiaminefena.”


eng: But if you seek anything about other matters, it will be settled in the regular assembly.

amn: Ati amba ne ming mo fegba so na ningenim eso ne nengigim amunai elni nof wa sihiageba so ma enam kwefihianagi.


eng: If therefore Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a matter against anyone, the courts are open and there are proconsuls. Let them press charges against one another.

amn: Afa Demitrius feg afa mungwag gafugag el apaiyeg afa atiamba ahanaig kinig figbi eba ati mina feg so big wahibi, so ma heafa sonag el kotime goni afa kwefihiageg el ati feg.


eng: For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of your goddess.

amn: Ne ati enag elim ohunanai yi wanambugo afa eheningi mas ahanaig esahfeg mo. Afa mas bigelni god Artemisim moalamp ahfeg mo afa ehena lotu lala mas okwef ahfeg mo.


eng: Seeing then that these things can’t be denied, you ought to be quiet and to do nothing rash.

amn: Afa mas aman esoi eba mas inimfeg mo. Eba awai. Eso ne afafug augu. Nofeka ikagna ahanaig esego.


eng: When the town clerk had quieted the multitude, he said, “You men of Ephesus, what man is there who doesn’t know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great goddess Artemis, and of the image which fell down from Zeus?

amn: Afa kimbig wa nai misog el bihianam kwenim eso sihini og, “Efesus luwal sahig, mungwali el bite wa gohka enam ati anwanafig bigelni kimbig Artemisna lotu lala mi afa heafna uflog hun mi of wa nai pena enag big numwehefugu.


eng: But when they perceived that he was a Jew, all with one voice for a time of about two hours cried out, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”

amn: Afa nangunim enag elbi Ju el eso sambaga aua mungo mengna hugna wagini afa esogona og, “Bigelni Efesusna Artemis eba ehe sisi fenig.”


eng: They brought Alexander out of the multitude, the Jews putting him forward. Alexander beckoned with his hand, and would have made a defense to the people.

amn: Afa Ju el Aleksanderim hekusi ningihini ogma olyi gohnam eso ma mo faiyi. Eso ma ika gohnam ningana kweni afa ehe ogna mungwali ehengelim enaig sihifeni Pol eba mas mang eseg mo.


eng: Some therefore cried one thing, and some another, for the assembly was in confusion. Most of them didn’t know why they had come together.

amn: Afa minginag Esia provins wa nai misog el afa Polna hihe gaba, ehem mo ningihini og, “Nofeka enanai yi nuwagig guhug waba ika.”


eng: When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples didn’t allow him.

amn: Pol ogna ika el nai yi olyi pugu afa so pahlukuiag el ehem kweni.


eng: The whole city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theater, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel.

amn: Afa managig hwainig mungwali kimbig bigiagafenam. Afa Gaius i Aristarkas i Pol Masedonia nai wanbona, eheningim wambtinim nuwag guhug wa ikagna wanahuna.


eng: When they heard this they were filled with anger, and cried out, saying, “Great is Artemis of the Ephesians!”

amn: Afa mungwali ena mom higinim olug kakagiagini afa kifutigni wagini og, “Bigelni Efesusna Artemis eba ehe sisi fenig.”


eng: Not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be counted as nothing and her majesty destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worships.”

amn: Afa gwenaigba ikafiba eba el bigna gafugagim moalampbi fi. Afa bigelni nalig god angwafig Artemisna unehlagba amtakwalef.

eng: You see and hear that not at Ephesus alone, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are no gods that are made with hands.

amn: Afa big higigim nangug Pol so eseageg. Ehe enaig esog god el ningina gafugafegba eba mang god mo. Eba ehe Efesus wa nai el mi afa Esia provins wa nai el mi ehengelni onigigim gasaf wambuf.

eng: For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen,

amn: Afa Demitrius Efesus wa nai el heafna gafugagba silva fiageule. Afa silva fafenam higfehiagefenam wetiklug lotu lala lofug gafugafeafna.

eng: Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.

amn: Afa so Pol Timoti mi Erastus mi Masedonia gam ningitigina. Eheningi Polim ahkweg fwafena. Afa Pol mo Esia Provins wa mahimsi gafena.


eng: Now after these things had ended, Paul determined in the Spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, “After I have been there, I must also see Rome.”

amn: Afa mahim enaig esinimbi eso Pol ogna Masedonia afa Akaia gam pugunam eso Jerusalem gam mo ika. Ehe og, “Ati ka osumba nangug afa ka so Romim gaba ika nangu.”


eng: So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.

eng: Many also of those who had believed came, confessing and declaring their deeds.

amn: Afa el numb autunam so ahanaig ahanaig eseagini enag Ainiyagim onigini enag ambugog minginagna elni nof wa heafgelni ahanaig ahanaig mo sihiagini.


eng: Many of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. They counted their price, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.

amn: Afa el numb agisu ule afa wini ule enaig eseagifini ena buk amtakwalig angogluinim eso elni nof wa suwi wa wehlini. Mungwali ena bukba suwiginimbi eba 50,000 kina enaig fena.


eng: This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived at Ephesus. Fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.

amn: Afa Efesus wanai Ju el i Grik el i mahim ena mo higinim eso hugna embefeagenim so Sisas Ainiyagna unehlam hugna fingi fini.


eng: The evil spirit answered, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?”

amn: Afa nimbasa amtakwalig ehengelim sihini og, “Sisasba kati anwanafeg afa Polba kati anwanafeg afa nengelbi amangel?”


eng: But some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, took on themselves to invoke over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, “We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.”

amn: Afa minginag Ju el afufeanim Ainiyag Sisas unehlag la ogna sanelim ningitigifi. Afa ehengel sanelim enaig esogoni og, “Sisasna unehlagim Pol sihiba enag ka nem sihinigbi sa ika.”


eng: There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.

amn: Afa Skeva eba Ju el ehe misog pris heafna luwalig enwesog la gohna. Enag el sanelim enaig esegonigini.


eng: so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out.

amn: Afa el hankisip i lofug plefwag i wambfinim ogohufenam Polna nihi yi nana tuhfinim eso wambugenam gih elim wambwai goafenamba eso gih i nimbasa i wahia ahuafena.


eng: God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul,

amn: God Polna ninga wa ahanaig ahanaig kigmog wagfuiagena.


eng: This continued for two years, so that all those who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.

amn: Gwenaig esegohum ikan sambaga yia fena. Eso Ju el i Grik el i enanai yi Esia provins wa gofena enag Ainiyagna mo higini.


eng: But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.

eng: They were about twelve men in all.

amn: Enag kwamblogna nambaba gwesim hili 12 fena muhwa fena.


eng: When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them and they spoke with other languages and prophesied.

amn: Eso Pol ninga ehengelim sisi fakanimbi eso Godna Sungwag ehengelim bo gohunimba eso ehengel ahanaig ahanaig mona fiahgini afa Godna mo fi sihiule lofug fifini.


eng: When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

amn: Ena mo higinim eso Sisas Ainiyagna unehlag wa bu wa apaigona.


eng: Paul said, “John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Christ Jesus.”

amn: Afa Pol sihina og, “Jonba enaig esena amangel olug wahigifigbi eso bu wa apaigoafena. Afa ehe elim og so olug onigini el so sum obo eba Sisas.”


eng: He said, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John’s baptism.”

amn: Afa Pol sahtigina og, “Ateaho, eba ahanag bu wa apaiyeg ne fig?” Afa wahigig sihini og, “Jonna bu wa apaiyeg ka fig.”


eng: He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They said to him, “No, we haven’t even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”

amn: Afa ehengelim sahtigina og, “Mahim ne olug oniginiba ateaho ne Godna Sungwagba wambug?” Afa wahigi sihini og, “Awai, ka mas higini mo Godna Sungwag gohugba.”


eng: While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus and found certain disciples.

amn: Afa mahim Apolos Korin wa gafenaba Pol mahimsi mina wa wagiebon eso Efesus wa mo puguna. Enanai yi pahlukuiag elim nangwagina.


eng: for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.

amn: Afa Apolos Ju amunai elim mo soaginim afa ambagwa hugna ehengelni mom pigawampupenam eso ehe Godna bukim ambagwa wagfuni og, “Sisas eba God Gishu Wahiag el elim wambugum.”


eng: When he had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him; and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace;

amn: Afa Apolos ogna Akaia gam ika afa Efesus nai Kristen ogna ehem kweagfu. Eso pas ginofinim Akaia Kristenim faigona og soma ehem sulfi. Afa mahim Apolos Akaia wa pugunam eso Kristenim enanai yi hugna kwagana. Enag elbi God ati afafenigbi eso ehengel Godum oniginig.


eng: Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was mighty in the Scriptures.

amn: Afa enanam Aleksandria lanai Ju el Apolos ehe blo Efesus la gafena. Ehe suialag sihifeafena afa ehe ati Godna bukim numwehe anwenafena.


eng: This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.

amn: Enaba ati numwehe Ainiyagna minam ogfufenagini nasa afigigenam ena mo sihinaba afa ena mo nufunafena. Afa ehe mas anwenafena mo Sisasna unehlag la bu la apaiyegim eba Jonna bu la apaiyegim mungu anwenafena.


eng: He began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside, and explained to him the way of God more accurately.

amn: Afa ehe ikanam Ju elni nuwagig lala hugunam sihinaba eso Prisila i Akwila i ahiginam afa ahsulfanam heafningina lala gam ahwanikinam enanai yi numwehe minginag mo Godna minam wagfufenag ahfena.

eng: Having spent some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing all the disciples.

amn: Pol enanai yi mwakwalig ganam afa wahianam ika distrik Galesiana kimbig mi afa Frigiana kimbig mi enanai yi Kristen elim kifutihiagena.


eng: When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.

amn: Bot wa ikan Sisaria wa pugunam ika Jerusalemna sios elim ika nangwagena. Ika nangwagenam eso Antiok gam ikana.


eng: He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.

amn: Afa afu Efesus la apukenam Pol Prisila mi Akwila mi mo lasanam ehe mo ikana Ju elni laskuhla lala sefunam Ju elim mo wansihiagena.


eng: When they asked him to stay with them a longer time, he declined;

amn: Afa minginag ehem sahanagini og, “Sa ne kam mwakwalig wanai.” Afa ehe og, “Ka mas enaig ese.”


eng: but taking his leave of them, he said, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.

amn: Afa awasan fenamba ehe enaig esona og, “Afa God sawiyi fegba eba ka piske bof.” Afa so ika bot wa mo fukonam Efesus mo wahianam ikana.


amn: Afa alasan fenamba ehe enaig esona og, “Afa God sawiyi fegba eba ka pese blofe.” Afa sa ika bot la mo fukonam Efesus mo fwahanam ikana.


eng: Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.

amn: Afa Pol Korin wa mwakwaliganam eso Kristenim mo wasanam. Afa so Akwila mi Prisila mi wanikana bot wa wanfukonam eso Siria gam ahuna. Pol akafenaba Senkria wa samawina eba enaig esenaba eba wagfug ehe ati Godum mo sihi wahiana.


eng: Then all the Greeks seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. Gallio didn’t care about any of these things.

amn: Afa ehengel olug kakagini eso Ju elni nuwagig lala naim amunai elim Sostenisim kikehlinim kot lala muhwa tigekini. Afa Galio mas enaigim onigina mo.


eng: So he drove them from the judgment seat.

amn: Afa so ehe Ju elim enanai ningitigina.


eng: But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you;

amn: Pol og nawo wahigi sihin afa Galio Ju elim esoni og, “Ateaho nengel Ju so na enaig esogog sona elbi ehe hugna amtakwalig eseageg enag kog kawo nengelni mo higinam eso ehem kwefihianage.


eng: but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I don’t want to be a judge of these matters.”

amn: Afa ne hugunam unehlag mi afa nimbiafgelni nihe mo mi ne sislafofiagig. Enam kam kusig, neaga nimbefum ehe so na kwefihiagi.”

eng: He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came to them,

amn: Afa enanai yi ehe Ju el Akwilam ufana. Afa Akwilana mog kimbigba Pontus ehe heafna angwag i Prisila managig hwainig Italim ahwahianam Korin gam ahkana. Ahnaig esenaba, eba Romna misog el Klodius sihini mungwali Ju el so ma Rom kimbig wahinim ahui.

eng: because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”

eng: For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ What therefore you worship in ignorance, I announce to you.

eng: Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.

amn: (Afa Atens el i afa mingnag kimbig wa nai el i gafugag mo wahinim ahanaig ahanaig mulug mo hugna membini higinim afa hefum sihiagini eso ehe enaig esogona.)


eng: For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean.”

amn: Minginag mo soka higigba eba enmuna onigig kam fenig eso koka ena mogum numwehe anwanafi.”


eng: They took hold of him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is, which you are speaking about?

amn: Afa Polim Areopagus nuwag mug wa wanikahunam afa enaig esogona og, “Kangel koka mulug mo higim eso ne minginag elim sihinige bog.


eng: Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also were conversing with him. Some said, “What does this babbler want to say?” Others said, “He seems to be advocating foreign deities,” because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.

amn: Minginag anwana el Epikurian nai i afa Stoik nai i onigigim pahag ahuafena enag Pol wanflafihiagena. Minginag hefum sahawagini og, “Sohna elbi ehe mimewofe.

eng: But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, agitating the multitudes.

amn: Enanam Tesalonaika nai Ju el ena mo anwanafini mahim Pol Beria wa Godna mo sihini gofefenaba eso ahu opukonam ehengelni onigigim fingi fegoni ogma Pol mi Sailas mi amtakwalihiagi.

amn: Eso el numb Ainiyagim onigini. Ju el i afa enaksag Grik el i afa minginag Grik misog angwafig i gwenaig esini.


eng: Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.

eng: But the unpersuaded Jews took along some wicked men from the marketplace and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the people.

eng: But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly without a trial, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison! Do they now release us secretly? No, most certainly, but let them come themselves and bring us out!”

amn: Afa Pol polisim sihini og, “Ka mas mang ahfeg mo ehe kam mungunim mungwali elni nof wa kwaskofigim kalabus lala fatiaugug.

eng: They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.

eng: But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, “Don’t harm yourself, for we are all here!”
