eng: He was returning and sitting in his chariot, and was reading the prophet Isaiah.

aoj: deiꞌ naꞌi notanima nefeꞌ. Anen natoma karis ananimi siꞌi wilkar eaꞌ natoma nati basef fagail buk Baibeli fowaꞌ profet Aisaia nandaꞌafi aꞌ nafeꞌ.


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.

aoj: Eaꞌ Filip nosafel aꞌ nafeꞌ. Eaꞌ natagama anona aman Itiopiainai ufiaꞌw akwamba. Anen aman dembinai nugumafi otamba hiambai ma kwin akwamba dembeꞌwi gavman kugumafi esis walemb hiagoma Itiopiai, sofalaꞌw sagaꞌi Kandesi. Aman anamba nimbewaꞌ nafiꞌi Jerusalema nandaꞌ lotu,


eng: Then 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.”

aoj: Eaꞌ anona ensel Dembinaii naꞌipa Filip naꞌi, “Inaꞌ nendendombola negafeꞌ gani waꞌol awin natopaꞌ negembaꞌma, ma ufiaꞌw kwaꞌwaha Jerusalem kwiliana kwagafeꞌ Gasama. Ufiaꞌw akwamba fowaꞌ esis sagafeꞌakwi. Deiꞌ aꞌ owaꞌ. Ufiaꞌw akwamba kwape anamba wafigima fataupigima.”


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.

aoj: Eaꞌ amom biam maꞌipasa basef Dembinai Jisas Kraisi esis amam nematawa. Ama main, motanima mondowasaꞌ Jerusalem. Magafeꞌ ufiaꞌw, mawalapa basef buꞌwafi Godi walemb hielimbi esis Samaria.


eng: Simon answered, “Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to me.”

aoj: Eaꞌ Saimon nagwa basef naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ bipa pendabetena Dembinai ma anen nogatopalopa aeꞌ. Ama hiahaom amamba ipaꞌ pagaꞌiami ina aꞌ motagame, owa!”


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

aoj: Inaꞌ newaꞌ alafugama waf afamba awafi ineꞌifi nembema nembel nefeꞌma God. Eaꞌ nendabetena Dembinai ma nokwaha kofagema amamba ma okom ineꞌimi magapoma waf awafii.


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

aoj: Eaꞌ Saimon nati amom aposel biam mawamona lagof atogofa esis sofaꞌ Ambal Godi. Naꞌamba anen nofaꞌ moni ananini nafiꞌmai amom naꞌipam naꞌi,


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

aoj: “Ipaꞌ bipa peseꞌe banagami amamba aeꞌ wapani ma aeꞌ iꞌi egawamona lagofa anin epena, negefaꞌ Ambal buꞌunai Godi.”


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,

aoj: Amam aposel mape Jerusalemi mameꞌ basefa esis Samaria sefaꞌ basef Godi. Naꞌama masapaꞌ Pita naloma Jon mafeꞌma esis.


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

aoj: Amam biam mafiꞌi mataga mandaꞌ betena God nigiambamasa sofaꞌ Ambal Buꞌunai Ananinai.


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

aoj: Deiꞌ main, Ambal Godi ina deiꞌ nape nalomas, ataꞌ owaꞌ. Esis sofaꞌ baptais etina agel Dembinai Jisas.


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

aoj: Eaꞌ amom biam mawamona lagofa esis eaꞌ sofaꞌ Ambal buꞌunai Godi.


aoj: Eaꞌ amam biam mawamona lagofa esis eaꞌ sofaꞌ Ambal Buꞌunai Godi napais.


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

aoj: Eaꞌ aman anamba Saimon wapani nahapifa Jisas aꞌ nofaꞌ baptais nape naloma Filip. Anen nati Filip nandaꞌ ametal banagonai naninani siꞌi God nandaꞌani, eaꞌ aꞌ okom hiahaom mapaona.


eng: But when they believed Philip preaching good news concerning God’s Kingdom and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

aoj: Eaꞌ Filip nawalipasa basef buꞌwafi esis hiasi. Nawalipasa agol Jisas Kraisi ma sogawis nomona maol Godi nope Dembinai nugumafias. Eaꞌ sahapifa basef ifimba sofaꞌ baptais.

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,

aoj: Eaꞌ anona aman nape agilinama Saimon. Aman anamba fowaꞌ nandaꞌ naohi ufiali nape atapina nafiꞌi nataga deiꞌ nemaf afamba. Eaꞌ nandaꞌ ukup esis amam nematawa Samariaisi a malamafeꞌ hiahiam aꞌowaꞌ. Aman anamba naꞌias naꞌi, “Aeꞌ aman dembiwai.”


eng: There was great joy in that city.

aoj: Eaꞌ deiꞌ esis wambel ambalemba sofaꞌ dagala luꞌwani.


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.

aoj: Eaꞌ Filip nowala nafeꞌ anambel wambel itap luꞌupa Samaria nawalipasa basef buꞌwafi naꞌi Jisas anen Krais, God nandandepana nasapaꞌana nagafiꞌii.


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

aoj: Esis Kristen safaꞌ safeꞌagon hiꞌalagon walemb hielimbi analemb daindaialemb sawalapa basef buꞌwafi Godi saꞌipasef.


eng: Saul 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.

aoj: Eaꞌ Sol nomonas atifis naloma amom magaha Stiven nagagaꞌi. Nogota atamba esis amam nematawa sandaiwaꞌma esis Kristen sagape Jerusalami, sahas sasoꞌas akafimi nimanimi luꞌwami.

eng: Devout men buried Stephen and lamented greatly over him.

aoj: Anom amam magaila waf Godi andeandeꞌi mofaꞌ Stiven mawana, mandaꞌ lef luꞌwani ma anen.


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

eng: He kneeled down and cried with a loud voice, “Lord, don’t hold this sin against them!” When he had said this, he fell asleep.

aoj: Eaꞌ nindiwa nembawa notawa naꞌi mehip naꞌi, “O Dembinai, inaꞌ owaꞌi negwamama waf anamba aunai amoma, owaꞌi.” Stiven naꞌias naꞌamba, aꞌ nagaꞌ.


eng: They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit!”

aoj: Makwaha otamba mahana atin owaꞌ, nandabeten naꞌamba naꞌi, “O Dembinai Jisas, inaꞌ faꞌago ambal aeꞌali!”


eng: They threw him out of the city and stoned him. The witnesses placed their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.

eng: But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, looked up steadfastly into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,

aoj: Apaꞌ Ambal buꞌunai Godi nape siꞌinama anen, naniga nati heven naep doꞌ endilisi. Nati banagami mogogalaꞌi Godi eaꞌ nati Jisas nalutu waꞌol lagol kwahisigili Godi.

aoj: Amom mameꞌ basef ifimba faha nelelemb amamilimbi endilisi aꞌowaꞌ. Amom nalelef finditapa imunam dogw ukup wandafum endilisi ma Stiven.

aoj: Fowaꞌ God naseꞌepa muꞌuli ananini ipaꞌ. Eaꞌ amom ensel atom maꞌipipa muꞌuli inimba, apaꞌ owaꞌ ipaꞌ ina pemeꞌan pagiꞌman, owaꞌatin.”


eng: Which of the prophets didn’t your fathers persecute? They killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers.

aoj: Amom profet hiami fowaꞌ magapani esis akusipa ipeꞌisi sandaꞌ waf awafima amom hiami hiꞌalam saham sandaꞌam aom. Saha amom profet magaꞌipasa aman buꞌunai hililiꞌi anaf nogafiꞌii. Eaꞌ deiꞌ ipaꞌ pawalapana ma amom boumi mahana nagaꞌ eaꞌ.

eng: Didn’t my hand make all these things?’

aoj: “Fowaꞌ bafasapa apeꞌisi sape anamba wafigima epes akagoma, nogota atamba sowalo sel siꞌi ipat sandaꞌ lotu. Ipat atamba tihimbaꞌmapa atamba God nagapautai.

aoj: “Moses aman anamba fowaꞌ sosambalona sagaꞌi, ‘Ami naꞌi inaꞌ nepe dembinai ma negawalogapa?’ Deiꞌ aman anamba atona God nasapaꞌana nafeꞌ siꞌi dembinai ma nugumafias nowambilasi nofaꞌas sogotanimai. God nowaꞌ banagona ma anamba ensel natagamana nalomana nagaꞌi ma lawag agamba saꞌugai.

aoj: ‘Aeꞌ God amom bafapena ineꞌimi mandaꞌ lotumai. Aeꞌ God Abrahami Aisak Jekop fowaꞌ mandaꞌ lotumai.’ Eaꞌ Moses bolalana ombel mahana ma nogatologon.

eng: The high priest said, “Are these things so?”

aoj: Eaꞌ pris dembinai nape nagaliꞌma pris hiamii nahaliꞌ Stiven naꞌi, “Basef ifimba endilisi aꞌa owaꞌ?”


eng: All who sat in the council, fastening their eyes on him, saw his face like it was the face of an angel.

aoj: Eaꞌ amom hiami mandakolasi hiꞌalam naep doꞌ matiti Stiven eaꞌ mati amaga ananigai aꞌ gogalaꞌ gataga siꞌi amaga anona enseli.


eng: For we have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place, and will change the customs which Moses delivered to us.”

aoj: Apaꞌ mameꞌ anen naꞌi, ‘Aman anamba Jisas Nasaratinai atiasi nohambombaga ipat anamba apaꞌ mandaꞌ lotuma aꞌ nondaꞌ anef waf dambaifi fehaꞌofa waf hiafi fowaꞌ Moses nagaꞌipapaf apeꞌi.’”


eng: They stirred up the people, the elders, and the scribes, and came against him and seized him, then brought him in to the council,

aoj: Eaꞌ amom masaꞌmai nelelemb esis amam nematawai saloma amom agufumi asasimi maloma amom dembami magawalipasa muꞌuli Godi. Eaꞌ esis safeꞌma Stiven sombaloꞌana sofaꞌana safeꞌma amom dembami Juda.


eng: Then they secretly induced men to say, “We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and God.”

aoj: Eaꞌ mandaꞌ anef waf basoꞌaifi ma mogaha Stiven. Eaꞌ mofaꞌi anom amam maꞌi basef maꞌi, “Afaꞌ wameꞌ anen naꞌi basef nandaꞌ Moses findiwana naloma Goda basef amamifi.”


eng: But some of those who were of the synagogue called “The Libertines”, and of the Cyrenians, of the Alexandrians, and of those of Cilicia and Asia arose, disputing with Stephen.

aoj: Eaꞌ anom amam mosafel maꞌi basef mandahihianamaef maloma Stiven. Amom anom amam Juda mandaꞌ anin lotu daiani, esis saꞌi ipat mandaꞌ lotuwatai agol naꞌamba. Amom fowaꞌ mandaꞌ maol mape sisihima anis daias apaꞌ deiꞌ mape wahifim. Amom walemb Sairini naloma Aleksandriai ma anep itap luꞌupa daiap Silisiai Esia.


eng: Stephen, full of faith and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people.

aoj: God natopalopa Stiven nowaꞌ banagona, nandaꞌ banagami mamimami luꞌwami laꞌafena esis amam nematawa.


eng: The word of God increased and the number of the disciples greatly multiplied in Jerusalem. A great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.

aoj: Eaꞌ basef Godi fandasauliꞌ fafeꞌ. Amam nematawa hiasi sagape Jerusalami aꞌ sataga alipisi sahapifa Jisas. Owaꞌ pris amamba hiami wapani mahapifa Jisas mailana.


eng: whom they set before the apostles. When they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.

aoj: Eaꞌ esis hiasi sandaꞌ amam amamba malutu felefeleꞌma nogohnaep amom aposeli mawamona lagofa amom mandaꞌmam betena mondaꞌ maol inimba.


eng: These words pleased the whole multitude. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch,

aoj: Amam nematawa hiasi ukup paꞌi basef ifimba. Eaꞌ sandandepa Stiven, anen nagahapifa Jisasi ma Ambal buꞌunai Godi nagape siꞌinanai. Eaꞌ sandandepa Filip naloma Prokoras, a Nikanon naloma Timon maloma Parmenas Nikolas. Aman anamba Nikolas Antiokinai, fowaꞌ nafiꞌi naila waf esis Judai.


eng: Therefore, select from among you, brothers, seven men of good report, full of the Holy Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.

aoj: Ipaꞌ Kristen alipipai, ipaꞌ ataꞌ pewandoꞌma anom amam 7-pelaim laꞌafena ipaꞌ magape andeandeꞌma naep esis amam nematawai, Ambal buꞌunai Godi nagape siꞌinami nomonas buꞌwasi sagapaumi. Ama afaꞌ ondaꞌam mopoma mugumafi maol inimba.


eng: The twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, “It is not appropriate for us to forsake the word of God and serve tables.

aoj: Amom aposel 12-pelaim mati nimanimi amamba aꞌ mofalai esis alipisi isimba hiasi safiꞌi maꞌipas maꞌi, “Iꞌi afaꞌ okwaha maol inimba ogawalipasa basef Godi ma ogatambeꞌ gwaꞌaisi, naꞌambai ina andeandeꞌ, owaꞌatin.


eng: Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, a complaint arose from the Hellenists against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily service.

aoj: Nogota atamba esis alipisi sagaila Jisasi sataga hias aꞌowaꞌ. Esis Juda hiasi apaꞌ anis sagaꞌi diga Griki safitap saloma anis Juda sagaꞌi diga Hibrui eaꞌ saꞌi, “Nimaguf hiafi ipaꞌ pagatopalopa esis amam nematawa isimba gwaꞌaisi main akasi, apaꞌ anowa nematawa alifiwai apeꞌiwai owaꞌ.”


eng: Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and preaching Jesus, the Christ.

aoj: Amom ina makwaha maol inimba magawalipasa basef buꞌwafi ma Jisas anen Krais, God nandandepana nasapaꞌana nagafiꞌii, owaꞌatin. Nimaguf danda amom mandaꞌ maol mawalipa esis amam nematawa hiasi ipat Godi luꞌunai, ifagw asasigwi wapani.


eng: They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for Jesus’ name.

aoj: Eaꞌ amom aposel makwaha amom dembami Juda aꞌ mafeꞌ mawis andoꞌ. Mandagala God nati amom ila ma mogofaꞌ akafimi nimanimi ma agol Jisasi.


eng: They agreed with him. Summoning the apostles, they beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.

aoj: Eaꞌ amom dembami maila basef Gamelieli maꞌi, “Afaꞌ oham atin dowaf.” Eaꞌ mofala amom aposel mafiꞌi, maꞌipa amom plismana mogaham. Eaꞌ maꞌipam dindinip maꞌi, “Ipaꞌ ina ataꞌ piꞌi basef ifimba ma agol Jisasi wapani, owaꞌi.” Eaꞌ makwaha amom aꞌ mafeꞌ.


eng: But if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow it, and you would be found even to be fighting against God!”

aoj: Apaꞌ iꞌi God atona nowaꞌ banaga amoma basef ifimba kofagefa ai, ipaꞌ ina daoꞌ atiasi laꞌifipama pegasopama amom, owaꞌatin. Naꞌamba ipaꞌ apepaꞌ peloma God!”


eng: Now I tell you, withdraw from these men and leave them alone. For if this counsel or this work is of men, it will be overthrown.

aoj: Naꞌamba deiꞌ aeꞌ aꞌipipa, ipaꞌ ombel mondahepama amam amamba, eaꞌ pekwahom mopano. Iꞌi amom mondaꞌ maola epes atisai, atiasi maol inimba awasin newala siꞌi maol amom biam dokoꞌ aliꞌ agaꞌipipami.


eng: For before these days Theudas rose up, making himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves. He was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed and came to nothing.

aoj: Ipaꞌ pegawa eaꞌ nogota tatumba fowaꞌ, anona aman Teudas nosafel naꞌi, ‘Aeꞌ aman dembiwai, agiliwai.’ Eaꞌ amam hiami felefeleꞌ ma 400-pelaim mafeꞌ mailana. Owaꞌ anis epes sahana nagaꞌ, eaꞌ amam magahapifanai mafaꞌ mafeꞌ atona biana. Eaꞌ maol amamini aꞌ newala dowaf.


eng: He said to them, “You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do.

aoj: Eaꞌ naꞌipa amom dembami Juda naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ amam Israelipai, ipaꞌ iꞌi pendaꞌ anis maemaefaha amom amamba ma, ipaꞌ ataꞌ ukup pendandaꞌ andeandeꞌ piliꞌ.


eng: But one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the law, honored by all the people, and commanded to put the apostles out for a little while.

aoj: Owaꞌ anona dembinai nalutu laꞌafena amom dembami esis Judai, anen Farisi agilinama Gameliel. Anen dembinai tisa ma muꞌuli Godi, eaꞌ esis amam nematawa saganifela agol ananigili. Naꞌipa amoma mogakwaha amom aposel mugawis andoꞌ kwasakwasala.


eng: But they, when they heard this, were cut to the heart, and were determined to kill them.

aoj: Amom mameꞌ basef ifimba, aꞌ ukup wandafip kwapeteꞌ endilisi maꞌi moha amom aposel mogaꞌ.


eng: We are his witnesses of these things; and so also is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”

aoj: Fowaꞌ deiꞌ wapani afaꞌ waloma Ambal buꞌunai Godi wagawalapa basefa hiahawes isimba hiasi afaꞌ watilis ogogawasi. God nasoꞌasa Ambal buꞌunai ananinai eaꞌ ma amam nematawa sagaila basef ananifii.”


eng: God exalted him with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and remission of sins.

aoj: Eaꞌ God nofaꞌana nalota ilif nahaponana nape lagol kwahisigili ananigili. Eaꞌ nape agilinai ma notopalopa apaꞌ Israel hiapai, nofaꞌapa mutanimai membema nelelemba opalefa nogakwaha waf awafi apeꞌifi okom mogosoꞌanaf.


eng: The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a tree.

aoj: Ipaꞌ pandola Jisas lawag usiꞌigai tiꞌwanaegai eaꞌ pahana nagaꞌ. Owaꞌ, God anamba bafapapa apaꞌ Juda mandaꞌ lotumanai aꞌ nasaꞌmana nosafel wapani wandof.


eng: But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.

aoj: Owaꞌ Pita naloma amom aposel magwa basef maꞌipam maꞌi, “Afaꞌ ina ugiꞌma basef epesi, owaꞌ. Afaꞌ undagiꞌma basef Godi atif.


eng: saying, “Didn’t we strictly command you not to teach in this name? Behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man’s blood on us.”

aoj: “Afaꞌ waꞌipipa basef banagafi waꞌi, ipaꞌ ina pewalapa basef piꞌipasef amam nematawa ma agol agalemba, owaꞌi. Apaꞌ owaꞌ, ipaꞌ pandaꞌ basef ifimba fape fafeꞌagon hiꞌalagon Jerusalem asiꞌigina basef ipeꞌifi. Eaꞌ paꞌi basef pasapagafa paꞌi kofagema afaꞌimi, afaꞌ waha aman anamba nagaꞌ.”


eng: When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned them,

aoj: Amom mofaꞌai amom aposel malutu nogohnaep amom dembami esis Judai laꞌafen. Eaꞌ pris anamba dembinai naꞌipam naꞌi,


eng: One came and told them, “Behold, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing and teaching the people.”

aoj: Amom mape nomonas salasafeꞌma isimba owaꞌ, anona aman nafiꞌi nataga naꞌipam naꞌi, “Pemeꞌ, amam amamba ipaꞌ pandaꞌam magape kalabusi deiꞌ malutu ipat Godi nomon maꞌipasa basef esis amam nematawa.”


eng: Now when the high priest, the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were very perplexed about them and what might become of this.

aoj: Eaꞌ kepten nugumafi ipat Godi naloma amom pris dembami memeꞌ basef ifimba eaꞌ nomonas salasafeꞌ hiahias maꞌi, “Maim amamba atiasi deiꞌ mogatagai?”


eng: “We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside!”

aoj: “Afaꞌ wati uta ipat kalabusi sowalowata sisihita, eaꞌ amom plisman mugumafiatai malutu mumafi utagw hiagwi andeandeꞌ. Afaꞌ wawisiꞌ uta wawis nomon, apaꞌ afaꞌ ina wati anin epen atitin nape nomon, owaꞌatin.”


eng: But the officers who came didn’t find them in the prison. They returned and reported,

aoj: Eaꞌ amom plisman mafeꞌ ipat sandaꞌ kalabusa, owaꞌ ina mati amom aposel, owaꞌatin. Eaꞌ motanima mafeꞌ maꞌipa amom dembami maꞌi,


eng: When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak and taught. But the high priest and those who were with him came and called the council together, with all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.

aoj: Eaꞌ amom aposel mameꞌ basef ifimba, kuhimbita mafeꞌ ipat Godi luꞌunai maꞌipa esis amam nematawa. Pris anamba dembinai naloma amom alipumi ananimi mafiꞌi mofalai agufumi hiami Israeli mafiꞌi mandakolas atogon. Eaꞌ masapaꞌ basef fafeꞌ ipat sandaꞌ kalabusa, mofaꞌai amom aposel mugafiꞌi.


eng: “Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.”

aoj: “Ipaꞌ foꞌo pilutu ipat Godi luꞌunai nomon pewalapa basefa amam nematawa hiasi ma waf hiafi dambaifi ma ambal namili.”


eng: But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out and said,

aoj: Ama aꞌi owamb, owaꞌ anona ensel Dembinaii nafiꞌi nawisiꞌ uta luꞌutai indalelemba kalabus eaꞌ nafelai amom aposel mawisi andoꞌ naꞌi,


eng: and laid hands on the apostles, then put them in public custody.

aoj: Isimba atis deiꞌ amom mosafel mombaloꞌ amom aposel masoꞌam kalabus luꞌwami.


eng: But the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy

aoj: Eaꞌ pris dembinai nape nagaliꞌma pris hiamii naloma amom amamba hiami alipumi ananimi Sadyusi anep miniꞌap, amom kowalam aꞌowaꞌ ma maol buꞌwani amom aposel mandaꞌani. Deiꞌ main amom mati esis hiasi saila basef amamifi.


eng: The multitude also came together from the cities around Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits; and they were all healed.

aoj: Eaꞌ esis amam nematawa hiasi walemb hielimbi bagape felefeleꞌma Jerusalami wapani safiꞌi sandakolas salomas. Esis sofaꞌai awasisi safiꞌi salumai epes isimba ambagof awami mapais magahambombagasi. Eaꞌ epes isimba hiasi sataga boꞌwes hiꞌalas wapani.


eng: They even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mattresses, so that as Peter came by, at least his shadow might overshadow some of them.

aoj: Esis saloma anis daias wapani sati banagami amamba amom aposel mandaꞌami. Eaꞌ sofaꞌ awasisi safiꞌi sambeꞌas saꞌoh andoꞌ ufiawa, salas belitagw gwagwigwagwi sofaꞌas safiꞌi. Esis ukup paꞌi, iꞌi Pita ina nefeꞌma esisa, eaꞌ hapaimi. Andeandeꞌma owaf fendaꞌ ambal ananili atol lefeꞌ lumbisilaꞌas.


eng: More believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women.

aoj: Eaꞌ anis amam nematawa hiasi sahapifa Dembinai, eaꞌ safiꞌi timbi tambel sawisa miniꞌap ananipi atapis sape.


eng: None of the rest dared to join them; however, the people honored them.

aoj: Anis amam nematawa hiasi ombel mahas, eaꞌ ina safiꞌi sandakolas salomas, owaꞌ. Apaꞌ isimba sagape andoꞌi sasaꞌma agof esis Kristeni saꞌi esis epes buꞌwasi.


eng: By the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. They were all with one accord in Solomon’s porch.

aoj: Amom aposel mandaꞌ hiahaom banagami mamimami hiami laꞌafena esis amam nematawa. Eaꞌ epes isimba hiasi sogahapifanai hiꞌalas aꞌ nembel atembel sandakolas sape atogon ilaf ipat Solomoni felefeleꞌma ipat luꞌunai Godi.


eng: Great fear came on the whole assembly, and on all who heard these things.

aoj: Eaꞌ esis Kristen hiasi saloma esis amam nematawa sagameꞌ basefa hiahaom amambai, aꞌ ombel mahas kwapeteꞌ!


eng: She fell down immediately at his feet and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.

aoj: Eaꞌ kwafalis atis akoꞌw kowa itap felefeleꞌma boꞌwagah Pitai afuꞌw. Eaꞌ amom saꞌumi mawisi nomon mati akoꞌw afuꞌw, aꞌ mofaꞌakw mafeꞌ mawaꞌw felefeleꞌma waulunamaꞌw akwaꞌunai.


eng: But Peter asked her, “How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”

aoj: Eaꞌ Pita naꞌipaꞌw naꞌi, “Deiꞌ maina ipaꞌ bipa paꞌi basef basoꞌafi pandameꞌmaefa pagagwamba Ambal buꞌunai Dembinaii? Nemeꞌ! Amam amamba ataꞌ mofaꞌ waulunamena ineꞌinai mafeꞌ mawana, amamba mafiꞌi malutu uta. Atiasi mofaꞌ inaꞌ wapani nigiꞌmana nefeꞌ!”


eng: Peter answered her, “Tell me whether you sold the land for so much.” She said, “Yes, for so much.”

aoj: Eaꞌ Pita naꞌipaꞌw naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ pegefaꞌani moni eaꞌ inimba nandahama itap apamba eaꞌ maꞌwin, aꞌa owaꞌ?” Akoꞌw kwambasoꞌmana kwaꞌi, “Ahoꞌ! Maꞌwin inimba atin.”


eng: About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.

aoj: Ama nogota bandata kwasakwasala awa wanifin aꞌ nafeꞌma main, akoꞌw wauluꞌmana kwafiꞌi kwawisi. Akoꞌw ina kogawa hiahawes sagatagama anini, owaꞌ.


eng: While you kept it, didn’t it remain your own? After it was sold, wasn’t it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You haven’t lied to men, but to God.”

aoj: Fowaꞌ esis ataꞌ owaꞌ sotala itapa, nogota atamba ataꞌ itap ineꞌipi atep. Ama deiꞌ satalep eaꞌ, otamba ineꞌimbai nimafiamba. Deiꞌ maina inaꞌ okom mandandaꞌma waf afambai awafi ma nembel ineꞌimbili? Ina nambasoꞌma apaꞌ epes atepa, owaꞌ. Inaꞌ nambasoꞌma God.”


eng: But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back part of the price of the land?

aoj: Eaꞌ Pita naꞌipana naꞌi, “Ananaias, inaꞌ naꞌi ahoꞌma Satan nafiꞌi nawis nape siꞌina ma nembel ineꞌimbili ma deiꞌ nagambasoꞌma Ambal buꞌunai Godi nagambahoꞌ otamba duꞌwanimba ma itap apamba?


eng: and kept back part of the price, his wife also being aware of it, then brought a certain part and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

aoj: Eaꞌ nofaꞌ otamba duꞌwanimba atemba nasoꞌamamba aposel, duꞌwanimba baꞌoma esis. Anen nambasoꞌma amom naꞌi otamba eaꞌ maꞌumba nasoꞌamamba siꞌimba. Wauluꞌmana wapani kogawa isimba.


eng: having a field, sold it and brought the money and laid it at the apostles’ feet.

aoj: Anen nasoꞌasa itap ananipi anis epes satalep sasoꞌana otamba nofaꞌamba nafiꞌi nasoꞌamamba amom aposel ma mogatopalopa anis gwaꞌaisi mais akasi.


eng: Joses, who by the apostles was also called Barnabas (which is, being interpreted, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a man of Cyprus by race,

aoj: Eaꞌ anona aman buꞌunai agol ananigili Josep amom aposel mandaꞌmana anagol agol Barnabas. Agol agalemba kofagogola naꞌamba, “Epen nogowaꞌ banaga ukup epesi.” Anen anona Livai, aman anamba anin ailan Saiprusinai.


eng: For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,

aoj: Esis sandagigiambanama etin. Eaꞌ ina enin epen atitin laꞌafena esis amamaga gwaꞌaimi maim aꞌan, owaꞌ. Esis hiesi ofagesa etapi ifagwi, esis saseꞌasam enis epes satalom saseꞌasa otamba. Eaꞌ sofaꞌai otamba amama safiꞌi,


eng: and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.

aoj: sasoꞌamamba amom aposel. Eaꞌ amom mandaꞌamba masoꞌ isimba gwaꞌaisi mais akasi.


aoj: saseꞌ amam aposel. Eaꞌ amam mandaꞌam masoꞌ isima gwaꞌaimi hiahaom aꞌasi.


eng: With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.

aoj: Amom aposel mawalapa basef maꞌipasefa Jisas Dembinai apeꞌinai notanima nogosafel, eaꞌ basef amamifi banagef aꞌowaꞌ. Eaꞌ okom Godi nagatopalopa esis dowafi aꞌ luꞌuna aꞌowaꞌ ma epes isimba hiasi sagahapifanai.


eng: The multitude of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.

aoj: Epes hiasi sagahapifanai nembel atembel, eaꞌ nomonas atifis. Ina anin epen atitin nati anis hiahawes atitis ananisi naꞌi, “Hiahawes isimba aeꞌasi atis.” Owaꞌatin. Hiahawes hiasi asasisi, isimba esis hiasii atis.


eng: When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

aoj: Esis sandabetena eaꞌ, sameꞌ ipat atamba sandabetenatai bolalata. Eaꞌ Ambal buꞌunai Godi siꞌinama esis, eaꞌ sawalapa basef Godi banagambel, esis ina ombal mahasa amom agufumi esis Judai, owaꞌatin.


eng: while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.”

eng: Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,

aoj: Dembinai, inaꞌ okom mondapoma basef hiafi wandafifi esis sagaꞌiefi, eaꞌ nendatopalopa afaꞌ wandaꞌ maola ineꞌi. Ama afaꞌ banagefa endilisi ogawalapa basef ineꞌifi, ma afaꞌ ina ombal mohafa, owaꞌatin.


eng: “For truly, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed,

aoj: Herot naloma Pontius Pailat maloma enis epes hiesi owaꞌ Judaisi saloma esis Israel saila basef amama Deviti sandaꞌ kolas wambel anama atona sasombala basef Jisasi, aman anama buꞌunai nandaꞌ maol ineꞌinai, fowaꞌ gani nesaheꞌana eaꞌ.


eng: to do whatever your hand and your counsel foreordained to happen.

aoj: Esis sandakolas atogona sondaꞌ hiahaom hiami siꞌi fowaꞌ inaꞌ banagena okom ineꞌimi maꞌi mogataga.


eng: The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers plot together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.’

eng: When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord and said, “O Lord, you are God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;

aoj: Esis sameꞌef eaꞌ, hiasi aꞌ nembel atotombel sandabeten sasaꞌma agol Godi naꞌamba saꞌi, “Dembinai, inaꞌ nagahapila ilif itapi, inaꞌ aꞌ nandaꞌ itap otaga, a naoh a hiahaom amamba hiami magapaumi.


eng: Being let go, they came to their own company and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.

aoj: Agufumi Judai matagwaha amom biam motanima mafeꞌma esis sagahapifanai, eaꞌ maꞌipasa basef hiafi amom pris dembami maloma agufumi magaꞌipamafi.


eng: for we can’t help telling the things which we saw and heard.”

aoj: Apaꞌ afaꞌ biafa ina aꞌ osopama malogof, owaꞌatin. Afaꞌ ogawalapa basef hiafi ma hiahawes watilis wagameꞌasi.”


eng: But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,

aoj: Owaꞌ Pita naloma Jon magwa basef maꞌi, “Iꞌi afaꞌ okwaha basef Godi ma ogagiꞌma basef ipeꞌifi, naꞌambai andeandeꞌma naep Godi aꞌa owaꞌ? Ipaꞌ ataꞌ ukup pendandaꞌma isimba pegawas pewalogas.

eng: But so that this spreads no further among the people, let’s threaten them, that from now on they don’t speak to anyone in this name.”

aoj: Afaꞌ aꞌ ondaꞌi basef banagafi ma amom biam ina ataꞌ miꞌipasa basef wapani anis daiasa agol agalemba, owaꞌ. Naꞌamba basef ifimba aꞌ fefeꞌagon hiꞌilagona esis amam nematawa hiasi.”


eng: saying, “What shall we do to these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we can’t deny it.

aoj: “Afaꞌ atiasi ataꞌ ondaꞌ amam amamba biam wiꞌimama ma ogasopama malogofam. Deiꞌ main, amom mandaꞌ maol banagani siꞌi God nandaꞌani, eaꞌ epes hiasi sagape Jerusalami sogawam. Afaꞌ ina laꞌififa ma ombasoꞌmas ugaꞌi, ‘Amom ina mandaꞌ maol inimba’, owaꞌatin.


eng: But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

aoj: Eaꞌ maꞌipa amom biama mokwaha ipat atamba mandakolasatai aꞌ muwis andoꞌ. Amom biam magawis andoꞌi, amom maꞌi basef mandameꞌmaef maꞌi,


eng: Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

aoj: Owaꞌ agufumi mati aman anamba boꞌwagah hondolaꞌanai nataga boꞌona, nalutu naloma Pitai Jon. Eaꞌ amom ina maꞌi anif basef magwamamef amom biam, owaꞌatin.

aoj: Eaꞌ sati anogah afegah hogala siꞌi nif ileliwa pepaꞌatawa wafeꞌ watoma esis hiasi atona atin hiꞌalas.


eng: Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

aoj: Aꞌi owaꞌ main, owaꞌ sameꞌ anom amalemb luꞌwami mandaꞌam mafiꞌi heven. Amalemb amamba mandameꞌ siꞌi fufin banagonai nagaluwi eaꞌ ipat atamba esis sagapautai asiꞌitama amalemb amamba.


eng: Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place.

aoj: Nemaf afamba luꞌwafi Pentikos afagataga, esis hiasi sagahapifanai sandakolas sape ipat atotota.


eng: They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was counted with the eleven apostles.

aoj: Eaꞌ esis sandaꞌ agof amom biami fail otamba biamba. Eaꞌ sala otamba ambamba bala anep malep siꞌi tin sakotoꞌwamba sati otam maliꞌ magatagai agol Matiasi. Eaꞌ sagawa God nandandepa Matias. Eaꞌ sandaꞌ anen nandaꞌ maol naloma amom aposel 11-pelaima mondaꞌ maol Godi.


eng: They prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen

aoj: Eaꞌ esis sandabeten naꞌamba saꞌi, “Dembinai, inaꞌ negawa ukup epes hiasii hiꞌalep. Inaꞌ nendandepa amam amamba biam nihimbaꞌmapa aman mamahonama


eng: to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.”

aoj: nogofaꞌ maol aposel nogahaꞌofa aman anamba Judas. Anen aꞌ nakwaha maol inimba nafeꞌ wambel awambili ma negawamana waf awafi.”


aoj: nofaꞌ maol aposel nohoꞌofa aman anama Judas. Anan nakwaha maol anama nafeꞌ wambel aonai ma God nogwamana waf aonai ananinai.”


eng: They put forward two: Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias.

aoj: Pita naꞌias naꞌamba ma main, esis Kristen asandandepa amam biam. Anona Josep, agol waꞌagol Barsabas, eaꞌ agol waꞌagol wapani saꞌi Jastus. Eaꞌ anona Matias.


eng: beginning from the baptism of John to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”

aoj: Eaꞌ deiꞌ apeꞌ mondandepa anona aman apeꞌinai nohoꞌofana ma mowalipasa basef amama Jisas notanima nohafel wapotiꞌ.

Nemaf anama Jon nawalipasa basef Godi napisiꞌ amam nematawa embel nafiꞌi nafiꞌi nataga ma nemaf anama God nofaꞌ Jisas nalata heven ilif nakwahepa.”


eng: For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his habitation be made desolate. Let no one dwell in it;’ and, ‘Let another take his office.’

aoj: Deiꞌ main, Pita nagaꞌi basef ifimba fagape Buk Baibel Sami naꞌi, “‘Ipat ananitai atot tondape wafita dowaf. Ina anona aman nopaota, owaꞌatin.’ Eaꞌ anin Sam naꞌi anif basef wapani naꞌamba naꞌi, ‘Anona aman anaf aꞌ nohoꞌofana nofaꞌ maol ananini.’


eng: It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called ‘Akeldama,’ that is, ‘The field of blood.’

aoj: Eaꞌ epes hiasi sagape Jerusalami asogawa isimba. Eaꞌ diga asasigai sofala anamba agiligima saꞌi Akeldama. Apaꞌ maꞌi itap apamba esimbel koloꞌwalambel begetawapi.”


eng: Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness; and falling headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines gushed out.

aoj: “Moni Judas nogofaꞌana waf afamba awafi ananifii aꞌ natala anep itap. Anen nafeꞌ itap apamba nowa laꞌafinama peꞌana nembel koloꞌwalanai hiꞌalana aꞌ afuna.


eng: “Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.

aoj: “Sahin owan aeꞌipai, anif basef fagail buk Baibeli fowaꞌ Ambal buꞌunai Godi nagawalapefa malogol dembinai king Deviti faꞌias naꞌamba.

eng: For he was counted with us, and received his portion in this ministry.

aoj: anen alipunai afaꞌinai nandaꞌ maol nagaloma afaꞌi.”


aoj: Jisas nandandepana anan alupunai afaꞌinai nandaꞌ maol anama Jisasi naloma afaꞌ.”


eng: In these days, Peter stood up in the middle of the disciples (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,

aoj: Aꞌi owaꞌ, anef nemaf esis Kristen 120-pelais hiasi sandakolas sape eaꞌ Pita nosafel nalutu naꞌi,


eng: All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer and supplication, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

aoj: Amom alipumi Jisasi mandakolas nimaguf hiafi lifilafi ma mandaꞌ beten maloma anowa nematawa saloma akoꞌw Maria Jisas maꞌmana saloma owapana Jisasi wapani. Esis hiasi sape sandabeten atogon.


eng: When they had come in, they went up into the upper room where they were staying, that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.

aoj: Esis sotanima safiꞌi Jerusalem, safeꞌ sawis ipat eaꞌ safeꞌ salota sape ipat ilif esis sagapoma. Agof amamugufi agwafomba. Pita naloma Jemsi Jon a Andru a Filip naloma Tomasi Bartolomyu Matyu eaꞌ Jems, Alfius nogamana, a Judas, Jems nogamana eaꞌ Saimon anap miniꞌap Seloti.


eng: Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey away.

aoj: Eaꞌ esis sakwaha halafuta atamba Oliv, sotanima safeꞌ Jerusalem. Halafuta atamba ina laogona Jerusalem, owaꞌ, felefeleꞌ nogota atotota kilomita atitin siꞌi esis Juda sefeꞌ sifiꞌi nemaf afamba sabat sagapoma nomaꞌwafi.


eng: who also said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky, will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky.”

aoj: Eaꞌ maꞌipas maꞌi, “Ipaꞌ amam nematawa Galilipai, ipaꞌ ina pilutu pititi otaga ilif, owaꞌ. Jisas anamba deiꞌ God nofaꞌana nakwahepa eaꞌ nofaꞌana nalota heven. Anaf notanima nogafiꞌi pegatolona naꞌamba atin siꞌi deiꞌ palutu patolona nagalota heven.”


eng: But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.”

aoj: Apaꞌ basef ipeꞌifi ifimba. Atiasi Ambal buꞌunai Godi nifiꞌmai ipaꞌ, nemaf afamba pefaꞌ banagami ma main, daoꞌ apewalapa basef aeꞌafi Jerusalem eaꞌ ganimba hiagoma agol Judia aꞌ ganimba itap luꞌupa Samaria, eaꞌ pefeꞌ anamba itap walemb hiagoma hiꞌilagon.”


eng: He said to them, “It isn’t for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.

aoj: Eaꞌ anen naꞌipam naꞌi, “Amamba ina hiahaom ipeꞌimi ma pegegawa nogota ma nimaguf Ahame nandandepafi, owaꞌ. Anen atona numafi amamba.


eng: Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, “Don’t depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.

aoj: Anen ataꞌ nape nagalomam naꞌipam dindinip naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ deiꞌ ina pekwaha Jerusalem ulal, owaꞌi. Pepe pehafa hiahaom amamba Ahame naꞌi endilisi atis nogasiꞌipami. Amamba fowaꞌ aeꞌ agaꞌipipami.


eng: To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking about God’s Kingdom.

aoj: Fowaꞌ saha Jisas nofaꞌ akafimi nagaꞌ eaꞌ, notanima nosafel wapani nafeꞌ natagama alipumi ananimi. Eaꞌ nape awin siꞌini duꞌwanini nandaꞌ hiahaom hiami banagami ma nihimbaꞌmam mogogawa endilisi anen nofaꞌ ambal namili nape namona. Nimaguf ifimba anen nawalipama epes hiasi sogawis nomona maol Godi nope Dembinai nugumafias.


eng: until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.

aoj: ma dambadamba naliꞌ nandaꞌam eaꞌ mafiꞌi matagama nemaf afamba God nofaꞌana nagalota gani heven.

Anen nasoꞌama maol inimba amoma banagami amamba Ambal buꞌunai Godi.


eng: The first book I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,

aoj: O, alipunai Tiofilus, buk akwamba fowaꞌ aeꞌ andaꞌakwi andaꞌ basefa hiahaom hiami Jisas nandaꞌami nagawalipa esis amam nematawa


eng: There are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they would all be written, I suppose that even the world itself wouldn’t have room for the books that would be written.

aoj: Jisas nandaꞌ anin maol hiani daian wapani. Iꞌi anis epes sondaꞌ basefa maol Jisasi hiꞌilan filai, aeꞌ aꞌi itap anamba hiagoma owaꞌ anagona buk hianai nogaꞌoha, owaꞌatin. Asiꞌigin dog. Basef eaꞌ maꞌuf.


eng: This is the disciple who testifies about these things, and wrote these things. We know that his witness is true.

aoj: Aman anamba alipunai Jisasi eaꞌ aeꞌ maꞌuwi. Aeꞌ aꞌipipa basef ifimba ma hiahaom amamba Jisas nandaꞌami deiꞌ andaꞌam magail buk akwaꞌi. Apaꞌ Kristen mogawa basef ifimba endilisifi atif aeꞌ andaꞌafi.


eng: This saying therefore went out among the brothers that this disciple wouldn’t die. Yet Jesus didn’t say to him that he wouldn’t die, but, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you?”

aoj: Eaꞌ basef basoꞌafi wafifi ifimba fafeꞌma afaꞌ alipufai Jisasi faꞌias naꞌamba faꞌi, “Aman anamba anaf ina nogaꞌ, owaꞌ.” Apaꞌ Jisas ina naꞌipafa basef ifimba esis sagaꞌiefi, owaꞌ. Basef ifimba kwamaifi. Jisas naꞌi basef ifimba atif naꞌi, “Iꞌi aeꞌ iꞌi anen nope nefeꞌ nefeꞌ ma nemaf aeꞌ igitanimai, isimba ina maol ineꞌini, owaꞌatin.”


eng: Jesus said to him, “If I desire that he stay until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.”

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas nagwamana basef naꞌi, “Iꞌi aeꞌ iꞌi anen aꞌ nope ambal lopaona nope nefeꞌ nefeꞌ afamba aeꞌ igitanimai, isimba ina maol ineꞌini, owaꞌatin. Inaꞌ nila aeꞌ.”


eng: Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?”

aoj: Eaꞌ Pita natiti aeꞌ, nahaliꞌ Jisas naꞌi, “Dembinai, aman anamba anaf nope niꞌimama?”


eng: Then Peter, turning around, saw a disciple following. This was the disciple whom Jesus loved, the one who had also leaned on Jesus’ breast at the supper and asked, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”

aoj: Eaꞌ Pita nandambema nati aeꞌ, alipuwai Jisas okom magamagailai, agiꞌmam afiꞌi. Aeꞌ maꞌuwi fowaꞌ afaꞌ wape waꞌ gwaꞌaisi ma indisiꞌah felefeleꞌma Jisas ahaliꞌana agaꞌi, “Dembinai, atiasi ami niꞌipa boumi ma nigihimbaꞌmama inaꞌ negapoma?”


eng: Now he said this, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. When he had said this, he said to him, “Follow me.”

aoj: Jisas naꞌipana naꞌamba ma nigihimbaꞌmam ufiaꞌw ma soha Pita nogagaꞌ ma epes hiasi sogasaꞌma agol Godi luꞌwagol. Eaꞌ deiꞌ Jisas naꞌipana naꞌi, “Nila aeꞌ.”


eng: Most certainly I tell you, when you were young, you dressed yourself and walked where you wanted to. But when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you don’t want to go.”

aoj: Endilisi aeꞌ aꞌipina, fowaꞌ inaꞌ ataꞌ saꞌwina, inaꞌ nowahoꞌ let eaꞌ nafeꞌ mamahagoma nomonas ineꞌisi saꞌi negafeꞌma. Apaꞌ owagama inaꞌ negatagama hagena, inaꞌ atiasi nendowa logof ineꞌigufi ma anom amam daiam mowahoꞌmena let mohapilina nefeꞌ anamba inaꞌ nindaiwaꞌmagoma.”


eng: He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you have affection for me?” Peter was grieved because he asked him the third time, “Do you have affection for me?” He said to him, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I have affection for you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep.

aoj: Jisas naliꞌ nahaliꞌana bif eaꞌ deiꞌ nahaliꞌana wapani aꞌ wanif naꞌi, “Saimon nogama Joni, inaꞌ okom maimaili aꞌa owaꞌ?” Eaꞌ Pita okom iwanim naꞌipana naꞌi, “Dembinai, inaꞌ negawa hiahaom hiami. Inaꞌ negawa aeꞌ okom maimailina.” Eaꞌ Jisas naꞌipana naꞌi, “Inaꞌ neseꞌama gwaꞌaisi sipsip aeꞌami.


eng: He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Tend my sheep.”

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas nahaliꞌana wapani naꞌi, “Saimon nogama Joni, inaꞌ okom maimaili endilisi, aꞌa owaꞌ?” Eaꞌ nagwamana basef naꞌi, “Ahoꞌ, Dembinai. Inaꞌ negawa aeꞌ okom maimailina.” Eaꞌ Jisas naꞌipana naꞌi, “Inaꞌ nimafi sipsip aeꞌami.”


eng: So when they had eaten their breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I have affection for you.” He said to him, “Feed my lambs.”

aoj: Afaꞌ waꞌ gwaꞌaisi ma eaꞌ, Jisas naꞌipa Saimon Pita naꞌi, “Saimon nogama Joni, inaꞌ okom maimaili aꞌowaꞌ nikilaꞌ anom alipumi amamba daiam, aꞌa owaꞌ?” Eaꞌ anen naꞌi, “Ahoꞌ, Dembinai. Inaꞌ negawa aeꞌ okom maimailina.” Eaꞌ Jisas naꞌipana naꞌi, “Inaꞌ neseꞌama gwaꞌaisi sipsip nogami aeꞌami.”


eng: Then Jesus came and took the bread, gave it to them, and the fish likewise.

aoj: Jisas nafiꞌi nofaꞌ bret nasoꞌafa, a agof wapani naꞌamba atin.


eng: Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast!” None of the disciples dared inquire of him, “Who are you?” knowing that it was the Lord.

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas naꞌipafa naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ fiꞌi ma ataꞌ peaꞌ gwaꞌaisi.” Apaꞌ afaꞌ ina anona banagona ma nohaliꞌana nigaꞌi, “Inaꞌ ami?” Owaꞌatin. Deiꞌ main, afaꞌ ogawa anen Dembinai afaꞌinai.


eng: Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land, full of one hundred fifty-three great fish. Even though there were so many, the net wasn’t torn.

aoj: Eaꞌ Saimon Pita nalota bot atamba nagiai anemb bafiꞌi akata. Anemb ambamba siꞌimba agof luꞌwagufi atogof 153-pelaiguf. Apaꞌ anemb ina peleꞌatamb, owaꞌatin.


eng: Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas naꞌipafa naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ faꞌi anagof agof dokoꞌ pagagiagufi.”


eng: So when they got out on the land, they saw a fire of coals there, with fish and bread laid on it.

aoj: Wafeꞌ wataga akata, wati anif nif fandif eaꞌ wati anagof agof fasef nif faloma anota bret.


eng: But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits away), dragging the net full of fish.

aoj: Eaꞌ afaꞌ daiafa watoma bot wagiꞌmana wagiai anemb siꞌinama agof. Afaꞌ ina wail laogona akata, owaꞌ. Siꞌi 100 mita.


eng: That disciple therefore whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It’s the Lord!” So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he wrapped his coat around himself (for he was naked), and threw himself into the sea.

aoj: Aeꞌ alipuwai Jisasi okom magamagailai, aꞌipa Pita aꞌi, “Nanumba Dembinai afaꞌinai.” Saimon Pita dokoꞌ natagwaha saket ananitai taꞌoh eaꞌ nandaꞌ maol owaꞌ, nameꞌ basef ifimba nala saket wapani nandaꞌ kopiꞌ nowala embel dumb nopaul nafeꞌ embel.


eng: He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” They cast it therefore, and now they weren’t able to draw it in for the multitude of fish.

aoj: Eaꞌ naꞌipafa naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ ataꞌ pela anemb bewala bot atamba waꞌol lagol kwahisigilima. Eaꞌ atiasi apiti anogof agof.” Eaꞌ afaꞌ waꞌi ola anemb owaꞌ, owafai agof hiami. Eaꞌ ina laꞌififa ogagiai anemb bilitai begatoma bot nomon, owaꞌatin. Deiꞌ main? Agof hiami aꞌowaꞌ mala anemba namba asiꞌina.


eng: Jesus therefore said to them, “Children, have you anything to eat?” They answered him, “No.”

aoj: Eaꞌ nofalafa naꞌi, “Awami saꞌupai, ipaꞌ pagi anogof agof aꞌa owaꞌ?” Eaꞌ wagwamana basef waꞌi, “Owaꞌatin.”


eng: But when day had already come, Jesus stood on the beach; yet the disciples didn’t know that it was Jesus.

aoj: Wafilu kuhimbita atota Jisas nafeꞌ nalutu dumb ambamba akata apaꞌ afaꞌ ina ogawa waꞌi anen Jisas, owaꞌ.


eng: but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.

aoj: Andaꞌ basef ifimba doꞌwanif atifa hiahaom amamba ma ipaꞌ pigahapifa Jisas anen Nogamana Godi, anen Krais, God nandandepana nasapaꞌana nagafiꞌii. Ma pihapifa agol ananigili pefaꞌ ambal namili pegape namipa dondol lifilafi.


eng: Therefore Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book;

aoj: Jisas nandaꞌ hiahaom hiami banagami daiam siꞌi God nandaꞌami ma nogohnaep alipufai ananifai. Basefa hiahaom amamba ina andaꞌef hiꞌalef fape buk akwaꞌe, owaꞌ.


eng: Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas naꞌipana naꞌi, “Inaꞌ natolowe eaꞌ, deiꞌ nahapifi. Apaꞌ epes ami owaꞌ sogatolowaia, sahapifi sonahas endilisi.”


eng: Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”

aoj: Eaꞌ Tomas naꞌipana naꞌi, “O, Dembinai aeꞌinai, God aeꞌinai.”


eng: Then he said to Thomas, “Reach here your finger, and see my hands. Reach here your hand, and put it into my side. Don’t be unbelieving, but believing.”

aoj: Eaꞌ naꞌipa Tomas naꞌi, “Dowa faf ineꞌifi fifiꞌi naꞌa. Eaꞌ niti lagof aeꞌagufi. Nesapaꞌ lagol ineꞌigili guwisi lambeh aeꞌambihi nomon. Ina okom bimbiafim mopaina, owaꞌi. Nindahapifi endilisi.”


eng: The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

aoj: Eaꞌ anom alipumi ananimi mafeꞌ maꞌipana maꞌi, “Afaꞌ wati Dembinai afaꞌinai eaꞌ.” Owaꞌ Tomas naꞌipam naꞌi, “Iꞌi aeꞌ owaꞌ ataꞌ iti melegwa lagof ananigufi sagahana nigufa, ma esa faf aeꞌafi ma niguf fagawisa eaꞌ esapaꞌ lagol aeꞌagili guwis nomon lambeh ananimbihi, daoꞌ ihapifana. Apaꞌ iꞌi owaꞌ, owaꞌatin.”


eng: But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, wasn’t with them when Jesus came.

aoj: Anona ma afaꞌ 12-pelaifa alipufai Jisasi, Tomas agol waꞌagol Didimas. Kofagogola saꞌi maꞌmam kofolam atifi. Nemaf afamba Jisas nafiꞌi nagatolofa, Tomas ina nape nalomafa, owaꞌ.


eng: If you forgive anyone’s sins, they have been forgiven them. If you retain anyone’s sins, they have been retained.”

aoj: Ama iꞌi pegakwaha waf awafi epen ami nandaꞌafi, God wapani aꞌ nokwahomanaf okom mosoꞌanaf. Apaꞌ iꞌi ipaꞌ owaꞌ pekwaha waf afamba awafia, God wapani ina atiasi nokwahef okom mosoꞌanaf, owaꞌatin.”


eng: Jesus therefore said to them again, “Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.”

aoj: Eaꞌ naꞌipafa wapani naꞌi, “Aeꞌ aꞌi nelelemb ipeꞌilimbi bepe awanalemb. Aeꞌ deiꞌ aꞌi esapaꞌepa pefeꞌ piꞌipasa basef Godi siꞌi Ahame nasapaꞌe afiꞌi agaꞌipipa.”


eng: When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord.

aoj: Naꞌipafa basef ifimba eaꞌ, nihimbaꞌmafa lagufi lambeh ananisi. Eaꞌ afaꞌ wati Dembinai afaꞌinai eaꞌ, asonahafama anen aꞌowaꞌ.


eng: When therefore it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were locked where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the middle and said to them, “Peace be to you.”

aoj: Nemaf afamba Sande owamb, afaꞌ alipufai Jisasi wandakolas ondotowalo wape anota ipat nomon. Afaꞌ ombal mahafama amom dembami esis Judai. Owaꞌ Jisas nafiꞌi nalutu nalomafa naꞌipafa naꞌi, “Nelelemb ipeꞌilimbi bepe saꞌombel.”


eng: Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her.

aoj: Eaꞌ akoꞌw kwafeꞌma alipumi ananimi magapoma kwaꞌipam kwaꞌi, “Aeꞌ ati Dembinai eaꞌ!” Eaꞌ kwaꞌipama basef ifimba anen nagaꞌipaꞌwafi.


eng: Jesus said to her, “Don’t hold me, for I haven’t yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”

aoj: Eaꞌ anen Jisas naꞌi, “Ina nigahapila alop aeꞌapi, owaꞌi. Deiꞌ main? Aeꞌ ina deiꞌ aꞌ itanima afeꞌma Ahame gani ilif ataꞌ owaꞌ. Inaꞌ nefeꞌma owape aeꞌami niꞌipam niꞌi, Aeꞌ aꞌ itanima ilita ilifa Ahame aeꞌanai a Ahamepa ipeꞌinai, efeꞌma God Dembinai aeꞌanai, a God Dembinai ipeꞌinai.”


eng: Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.”

aoj: Eaꞌ Jisas nahaliꞌakw naꞌi, “Nemataꞌw, deiꞌ maina inaꞌ nagalef? Inaꞌ newandoꞌma ami?” Akoꞌw okom maꞌi owaꞌ anona nandaꞌ maol aofi. Eaꞌ kwaꞌipana kwaꞌi, “Dembinai, iꞌi inaꞌ negefaꞌanama, niꞌipi anamba nefaꞌana nafeꞌ nagambeꞌanama?”


eng: When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, and didn’t know that it was Jesus.

aoj: Kwaꞌipam basef ifimba ma eaꞌ, kwandambema owaꞌ kwati Jisas nalutu nalomaꞌw. Apaꞌ ina kogawa anen kwaꞌi Jisas, owaꞌ.


eng: They asked her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don’t know where they have laid him.”

aoj: Eaꞌ mahaliꞌakw maꞌi, “Inaꞌ nalopa main?” Eaꞌ akoꞌw kwagwamam basef kwaꞌi, “Anis asofaꞌ Dembinai aeꞌanai safeꞌ eaꞌ ina egawa anamba safeꞌ sagambeꞌanama, owaꞌatin.”


eng: and she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

aoj: akwati ensel biam mala luwaguf afitimi mape anamba alop Jisasi dokoꞌ pagaꞌoma. Amom biam anona nape balaga Jisasi gagafeꞌma, anona boꞌwagah hagafeꞌma.


eng: But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. So as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb,

aoj: Apaꞌ Maria atoꞌw kwalutu kwalopana matmat andoꞌ. Kwalutu kwalopana atin, kwasisil kwati bolotaf matmat nomon,


eng: So the disciples went away again to their own homes.

aoj: Eaꞌ afaꞌ biafa utanima wafeꞌ ipat.


eng: For as yet they didn’t know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

aoj: Nogota atamba afaꞌ ina ogawa basef fagail Buk Baibeli fagaꞌi Jisas nogaꞌ notanima nogosafel wapani, owaꞌ.


eng: So then the other disciple who came first to the tomb also entered in, and he saw and believed.

aoj: Eaꞌ aeꞌ aliꞌ agafeꞌ matmat atambai agiꞌmana awis nomon ati hiahawes isimba aꞌ ahapifana.


eng: and the cloth that had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.

aoj: Eaꞌ Saimon Pita nagiꞌmi nafiꞌi nataga eaꞌ nawis hiꞌagif nomon. Eaꞌ nati luwaguf sowaꞌanam maꞌoh, maloma anona lowaf mandaꞌana mowaꞌ balaganai. Lowaf anama somagwiana sambeꞌana naꞌoh anagon. Eaꞌ luwaguf amama anom maꞌoh deiꞌ.


eng: Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying there; yet he didn’t enter in.

aoj: Eaꞌ indiwa nembawa etawa ati luwaguf atif faꞌoh nomon apaꞌ ina awis nomon, owaꞌ.


eng: They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first.

aoj: Eaꞌ aeꞌ aloma Pita wasagih wafeꞌ wataga hiꞌagif anama. Wasagih wafeꞌ, eaꞌ aeꞌ ikilaꞌ Pita aliꞌ afeꞌ ataga hiꞌagif anama.


eng: Therefore she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have laid him!”

aoj: Eaꞌ kotanima kwasagih kwafiꞌmai aeꞌi Saimon Pita wagapoma, aeꞌ alipuwai Jisasi okom magamagailai. Eaꞌ kwaꞌipafa kwaꞌi, “Anis safeꞌ sofaꞌ Dembinai nakwaha matmat asafeꞌ. Eaꞌ afaꞌ ina ogawana safeꞌ sambeꞌana anima.”


eng: Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went early, while it was still dark, to the tomb, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.

aoj: Akot ataꞌ tail, felefeleꞌma kuhumbita nemaf Sande Maria Makdalaiꞌwi kosafel kwafeꞌ matmat. Eaꞌ kwati otam ina ataꞌ masopama uta matmati, owaꞌatin. Anin epen nelefatam aꞌ mafeꞌ maꞌoh waꞌol.


eng: Then, because of the Jews’ Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand), they laid Jesus there.

aoj: Matmat atamba tape felefeleꞌ. Nemaf afamba nemaf esis Juda saꞌi sogowandoꞌma hiahawesafi, ma nemaf sagapoma nomaꞌwafi saꞌi sabat felefeleꞌma fegataga. Eaꞌ mofaꞌ alop Jisasi mawana matmat atamba.


eng: Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden was a new tomb in which no man had ever yet been laid.

aoj: Felefeleꞌma anamba magandola Jisasa anof aof fape. Aof afamba anona bolotaf nagal siꞌi matmat dambaitai nape. Anamba esis ina deiꞌ sawa anin epenagon, ataꞌ owaꞌatin.


eng: So they took Jesus’ body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.

aoj: Anan Josep nafeꞌ naloma Nikodemus, anama fowaꞌ nafeꞌ nati Jisas anona owamb. Nikodemus nofaꞌai anona marasin buꞌunai sandaꞌana ifat lawahi, agilinama mer naloma alos. Marasin anama hianai nimanina endilisi, 30 kilo. Eaꞌ amam biam mafeꞌ mofaꞌ alop Jisasi mandaꞌ luwaguf afitimi maloma marasin anama mowaꞌana, maila waf esis Judai.


eng: After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away Jesus’ body. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body.

aoj: Josep Arimateainai anen alipunai Jisasi, apaꞌ anen ombal mahana ma amom Juda. Eaꞌ nahapifana nomonas atis sape sandambahoꞌ. Aꞌi owaꞌ main, anen nafeꞌ nahaliꞌ Pailata alop Jisasi, Eaꞌ Pailat naꞌi ahoꞌ, aꞌ nafeꞌ nofaꞌap nafeꞌ.


eng: Again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they pierced.”

aoj: Fowaꞌ basef fagail Buk Baibeli faꞌias naꞌamba faꞌi, “Owagama bihitagof ananigufi ina totoweagof, owaꞌatin.” Eaꞌ anif wapani faꞌias naꞌamba faꞌi, “Owagama esis siti aman anamba sagapisilana wambaꞌwi.” Amom soldia mandaꞌam naꞌamba maila basef ifimba atif fagail Buk Baibeli fataga fandawalap endilisi.


eng: He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.

aoj: Aeꞌ ati amamba naep aeꞌapi aꞌipipa basef ifimba. Eaꞌ basef ifimba aeꞌafi endilisifi atif. Aeꞌ egawa basef ifimba agaꞌipipafi endilisifi aꞌipipa ma ipaꞌ wapani pigahapifif.


eng: However, one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

aoj: Eaꞌ anona soldia nandaꞌ wambaꞌw napisila lambeh Jisasi waꞌol. Eaꞌ kwafalis atis esimbel baloma embel maluwi.


eng: but when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs.

aoj: Eaꞌ mafeꞌ ma Jisas nagaila, owaꞌ mati anen aꞌ nagaꞌ dogw endilisi. Eaꞌ amom ina mindiwa boꞌwagah ananigahi, owaꞌ.


eng: Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies wouldn’t remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.

aoj: Nemaf afamba esis Juda sape sandondomba gwaꞌaisi maisa naman sondaꞌ gwaꞌaisi luꞌwasi Pasova. Nemaf afamba deiꞌifi sabat luꞌwafi fikilaꞌ sabat anif nimaguf hiafi. Eaꞌ amom Juda mandaiwaꞌ ma amom wanom migail atapim lawah agahemba nemaf afamba luꞌwafi. Eaꞌ mafeꞌ mahaliꞌ Pailata amom soldia mugundiwa boꞌwagah amamugahi ma mogagaꞌ ulala motagwahom mugisilaꞌi.


eng: When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

aoj: Anen naꞌ wain embel ambalemba eaꞌ naꞌi, “Maol inimba ahiꞌalan.” Eaꞌ nindiwa balaga ambal aꞌ landahiꞌ lafeꞌana nagaꞌ dogw.


eng: After this, Jesus, seeing that all things were now finished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty!”

aoj: Aꞌi owaꞌ main, Jisas nogawa maol hiani ananini ahiꞌalan, eaꞌ okom maꞌi anif basef fagape Buk Baibeli fetaga fendawalap. Eaꞌ naꞌi, “Aeꞌ iap paseꞌema embel.” Anen naꞌias naꞌamba nagiꞌma basef ifimba Baibelifi.


eng: Now a vessel full of vinegar was set there; so they put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop, and held it at his mouth.

aoj: Eaꞌ anol botol siꞌila embel wain numbutimbeli baꞌoh. Eaꞌ amom mofaꞌ anom mosong mowala wain embel ambalemba magiam masapaꞌam anogol bagol mofaꞌam mandomanam malogol Jisasi ma nogaꞌ embel.
