eng: He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons and the boundaries of their dwellings,

aoj: Bafamapa atona anen God nandaꞌ misiꞌah amam nematawa hiasi sataga hiꞌalas. Eaꞌ nandaꞌas sape itap hiagoma. Anen atona nandaꞌ nohotagw nimaguf maꞌumaꞌuf fandahama esis sagape mamahogomai. Eaꞌ nosahoꞌ itap pafeꞌ pegetambela paloma walemb asasilimbi.


eng: He isn’t served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath and all things.

aoj: Anen atona nasoꞌama ambal namili laloma ambip saloma hiahaom hiamuma epes hiasi. Eaꞌ anen ina anin mae akana ma epes sotopalopana sogasoꞌana anis maefah, owaꞌatin.


eng: The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands.

aoj: “God nandaꞌ itap paloma apaꞌ epes maloma hiahaom magape itap apaꞌe, anen Dembinai ma otagai itapi. Anen ina nagape nomona ifagw lotugwi epes sagalaꞌagw lagufi, owaꞌatin.


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.

aoj: Dokoꞌ aeꞌ afoꞌo owaꞌ ati hiahaom amamba ipaꞌ pandaꞌ lotumami eaꞌ ati anom otam ipaꞌ pandaꞌ ofa pandaꞌ lotumami wapani, esis sandaꞌ anif basef fail otam amamba fagaꞌi naꞌamba faꞌi, ‘God anamba apaꞌ owaꞌ mogogawa agilinamaia.’ Apaꞌ owaꞌ owaꞌatin, ipaꞌ pandandaꞌ lotumana falafuna, deiꞌ awalapa basef alihif aꞌipipana.


eng: Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus and said, “You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.

aoj: Pol nalutu laꞌafena amom gawaimi mandakolas halafuta Areopagusi naꞌipasef naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ epes Atensipai, aeꞌ ati ipaꞌ banagepa aꞌowaꞌ ma hiahaom hiami pandaꞌ lotumami.


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.

aoj: Esis Atens hiasi saloma epes analemb walembi safiꞌi sagape Atensi, ina safiꞌi sandaꞌ anin mae, owaꞌatin. Esis saha nimaguf hiafi sambanef sapoma sandaꞌ basef atom dambaimi ma sagameꞌ basef dambaifi.


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

aoj: Afaꞌ wagahembeꞌma basef ineꞌifi ma ogogawef. Owaꞌ owaꞌatin, anif daif. Eaꞌ deiꞌ afaꞌ waꞌi ataꞌ ogawa basef ifimba kofagefa.”


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?

aoj: Eaꞌ mofaꞌ Pol mafeꞌ maloma anom gawaimi mandakolas anota domota agol Areopagus. Amom maꞌi, “Afaꞌ waꞌi ogawa basef ifimba dambaifi inaꞌ nagasoꞌasef esis amam nematawai.


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.

aoj: Anom amam tisa gawaimi anom Epikurian maloma anom Stoik maꞌi basef mandahihianama maloma Pol maꞌi, “Aman anamba okom magahanai, nagaꞌi basef mamimamii, anen naꞌi niꞌi main?” Pol nawalapa basef buꞌwafi Jisasi naꞌipasa Jisas nogosafel matmat. Eaꞌ anom maꞌi, “Anen naꞌi nowalapa basefa anom god dembami anambel wambili aꞌa?”


eng: So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met him.

aoj: Eaꞌ nimaguf hiafi anen nafeꞌ ipat esis Juda sandakolasatai naꞌi basef hiafi naloma esis Juda saloma anis isimba sondaꞌ lotuma Godi. Nalomas saꞌi basef sandahihianamaef nahagofa ukup asasipi. Eaꞌ nimaguf hiafi nafeꞌ anamba esis sandatama sagapoma, naꞌi basef hiafi nalomas saꞌi sandahihianamaef saloma anis safiꞌi sagapani.


eng: Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.

aoj: Pol nape nasasa amom biam Atens eaꞌ nati wambel ambalemba nati god basoꞌamunai hiana aꞌ owaꞌ. Eaꞌ okom mandaiwaꞌ endilisi ma esis sandaꞌ lotuma amamba.


eng: But those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, they departed.

aoj: Eaꞌ amom mofaꞌ Pol magafeꞌ ufiaꞌwi malutumana mafeꞌ mahaponana Atens. Ama motanima mafeꞌ owaꞌ, Pol nasapaꞌ basef fafeꞌma Sailasi Timoti naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ bipa pifiꞌmai aeꞌ kwafalis.”


eng: Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.

aoj: Naꞌamba deiꞌ atef amom Kristen masapaꞌ Pol aꞌ niliana nafeꞌ naoh akata. Apaꞌ Sailasi Timoti atom mape Beria.


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.

aoj: Aꞌi owaꞌ main, esis Juda sagape Tesalonaikai sameꞌ basef faꞌi, Pol nawalapa basef Godi Beria. Eaꞌ safeꞌ salalamona nomonas esis amam nematawa sagape Beriai awes.


eng: Many of them therefore believed; also of the prominent Greek women, and not a few men.

aoj: Eaꞌ deiꞌ amam nematawa Juda hiasi sahapifa Krais. Eaꞌ anowa nematawa hiawai agof luꞌwagufuwai waloma anom Grik hiami wapani sahapifana.


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.

aoj: Epes sagape Beriai opalef fafeꞌ endilisi sameꞌ basef sandaꞌ waf buꞌwafi sikilaꞌ esis sagape Tesalonaikai. Apaꞌ esis Beria daoꞌ sofaꞌ basef sandagalamef aꞌowaꞌ. Eaꞌ dondol satalifa basef fagail buk Baibeli, ma sogogawa basef Pol nagaꞌipasafi endilisifi aꞌa owaꞌ.


eng: When they had taken security from Jason and the rest, they let them go.

aoj: Eaꞌ deiꞌ agufumi mandaꞌ Jeson naloma esis Kristen isimba saliꞌ satala kot, sotagwaha amom mogafeꞌ wahifim.


eng: The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.

eng: whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus!”

aoj: Jeson naoꞌwam mape ipat ananitai. Amom mogosambala lo dembinai gavman Romunai, magaꞌi anona king dembinai daiana nape agol ananigili Jisas.”


eng: When they didn’t find them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers before the rulers of the city, crying, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here also,

aoj: Apaꞌ owaꞌ, esis ina sati amom biam, owaꞌatin. Eaꞌ sahokolai Jeson gagatoma ipat atambai naloma anis Kristen safeꞌma amom agufumi wambel ambalembaimi. Esis sandaꞌ ukup asasipi pandandaꞌ saꞌi, “Amam amamba biam mandaꞌ waf awafi fataga itap hiagoma eaꞌ deiꞌ mafiꞌi mape naꞌa.


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.

aoj: Owaꞌ esis Juda akowalas nelelemb awalemba esis hiasi sagahapila basef Poli Sailas magaꞌipasafi. Naꞌamba esis sofaꞌ anom amam awami mandaꞌ waf awafii.

Eaꞌ safeꞌ sambiasa uta ipat Jesoni ma suwis sogolaoma Poli Sailas. Saꞌi sofaꞌam muwisi andoꞌma sogasoꞌasam amam nematawa hiasi.


eng: Some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas: of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and not a few of the chief women.

eng: Paul, as was his custom, went in to them; and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

aoj: Eaꞌ Pol nandaꞌam naꞌama etin siꞌi laꞌelaꞌef nandaꞌam eaꞌ nafeꞌ nawis ipat anama nalomas. Amam biam mape wikifah wanom ama nimeguf amama wanom sapoma nomaꞌwanai sabat, eaꞌ Pol naꞌi basef Godi mail buk Baibelia nalomas.

eng: Now when they had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Jewish synagogue.

aoj: Amom biam mafeꞌ mataga anambel wambel Amfipolis eaꞌ makwaha wambel ambalemba mafeꞌ mataga Apolonia. Eaꞌ makwaha wambel ambalemba wapani aꞌ mafeꞌ mataga Tesalonaika. Anota ipat luꞌutai esis Juda sandakolasatai wambel ambalemba.


eng: They went out of the prison and entered into Lydia’s house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, then departed.

aoj: Eaꞌ makwaha ipat kalabusi mawisi aꞌ mafeꞌ ipat Lidiai mati esis Kristen maꞌipasa anif basefa mogowaꞌ banaga nelelemb asasilimbi. Ama main aꞌ mafeꞌ.


eng: and they came and begged them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.

aoj: Eaꞌ mafeꞌma amom biam maolaꞌi amom biam mawisi andoꞌ maꞌi diga uwahipigai malomam. Eaꞌ maꞌipama mogakwaha wambel ambalemba mogafeꞌ anagon daiagon.


eng: The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,

aoj: Eaꞌ amom plisman mofaꞌ basef ifimba mafeꞌma amam amamba mandaꞌ kotimasi, mameꞌ basef faꞌi amom biam Romumi eaꞌ ombal baham.


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!”

aoj: Owaꞌ Pol naꞌipa amom plisman naꞌi, “Afaꞌ biafa Romufai, amom ina mandaꞌ kotimafa andeandeꞌma mogati anef waf awafi ma afaꞌ biafa, owaꞌatin. Amom mahafa dowadowafa naep esis amam nematawai.

eng: The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out and go in peace.”

aoj: Eaꞌ anen nugumafi kalabusi nofaꞌ basef ifimba nafeꞌma Pol naꞌipana naꞌi, “Amam dembami mandaꞌmas koti masapaꞌ basef fafiꞌmai ipaꞌ ma eaꞌ pegafeꞌ. Naꞌamba deiꞌ ipaꞌ pekwaha kalabus afoꞌo eaꞌ opalef ipeꞌilifi fendape saꞌombel.”


eng: But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, “Let those men go.”

aoj: Ama lala owaꞌ, amom jas mandaꞌmas basefi masapaꞌ anom plisman mafiꞌi maꞌi, “Ipaꞌ kwaha amam amamba biam aꞌ mofoꞌo.”


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

aoj: Amam maꞌipana basef Godi naloma epes isima sape ipat ananinai.


eng: He took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.

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

aoj: Owaꞌ Pol noga naꞌi mehip naꞌi, “Hai, inaꞌ owaꞌi nehambombaga ineꞌa! Apaꞌ hiapai mape!”


eng: The jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

aoj: Eaꞌ anen nugumafi esis kalabusi nosafel nati utagw ipat gwandawisiꞌ, naꞌi owaꞌ kalabus sawisi safaꞌ sagafeꞌma. Eaꞌ nagiai bainat ananinai naꞌi aꞌ nondaha alop ananipi nogaꞌ.


eng: Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were loosened.

aoj: Eaꞌ kwafalis atis imauna luꞌunai nataga naola olalef mogombaloꞌ ipat kalabusi. Eaꞌ utagw mandawisiꞌ, sen negewaꞌ esis sandaꞌ kalabusi aꞌ nandatagwah.


eng: But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.

aoj: Ama aꞌi owaꞌ owamb laꞌafimba amanota Poli Sailas mandabeten mandaꞌ awalef masaꞌma agol Godi eaꞌ anis daias sandaꞌ kalabusi sameꞌ mandaꞌam.


eng: Having received such a command, he threw them into the inner prison and secured their feet in the stocks.

eng: When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.

aoj: Eaꞌ mopagahom hiafi timbi tambel mandaꞌam mandaꞌ kalabus. Maꞌipa aman nalutu nugumafi utai dindinipa nulutu nugumafiam andeandeꞌ.


eng: The multitude rose up together against them and the magistrates tore their clothes from them, then commanded them to be beaten with rods.

eng: She was doing this for many days. But Paul, becoming greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” It came out that very hour.

aoj: Nemataꞌw akwamba kwagiꞌma Pol kwaloma afaꞌ, eaꞌ kwandaꞌam falafala atapiꞌw kwail kwaꞌi, “Amom mandaꞌ maola God nagape ilif endilisii, maꞌipapa basefa ufiaꞌw God nowambelapa mutanima mufiꞌi mogape andeandeꞌakwi.”


eng: As we were going to prayer, a certain girl having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune telling.

aoj: Eaꞌ kofaꞌ baptais kwaloma esis sagape ipat atotai wapani. Akoꞌw kofaꞌ baptaisa eaꞌ, kwaꞌipafa kwaꞌi, “Iꞌi ipaꞌ ukup pandandaꞌ paꞌi aeꞌ ahapifa Dembinai endilisi, ipaꞌ fiꞌi pepe peloma aeꞌ ipat aeꞌatai.” Eaꞌ akoꞌw dindinapiꞌwa afaꞌ wafeꞌ waila basef akwaꞌufi.


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

aoj: Anoꞌw nemataꞌw agiliꞌwa Lidia kwandaꞌ lotuma Godi kwameꞌ basef ifimba. Akoꞌw Taiatairaiꞌwi, kwandaꞌ maol kwandaꞌ bisnisa luwaguf akwahifi. Dembinai napati okom akwaꞌumi eaꞌ kwagahembeꞌma basef ifimba Pol nagaꞌiefi.


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

aoj: Ama aꞌi owaꞌ sabat, aꞌ wafeꞌ wawis indalelemb uta andoꞌ ma wambel ambalemba, wafeꞌ anemb walemb. Afaꞌ waꞌi felefeleꞌma walemb ambamba anagon esis Juda sandabetenagoma. Wape anamba owaꞌ, wati anowa nematawa ondowaꞌanima wape eaꞌ afaꞌ wape walomawa waꞌi.

aoj: Eaꞌ walota sip wambel ambalemba Troas eaꞌ wafeꞌ, wafeꞌ usiꞌifa Samotres. Ama aꞌi anef nemaf owaꞌ aꞌ wafeꞌ Neapolis.


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

aoj: Eaꞌ Pol nati amamba, afaꞌ kwafalis atis olaoma ufiaꞌwa ogafeꞌ itap luꞌupa Masedonia. Afaꞌ ogawa God nofalafa ma ogawalapa basef buꞌwafi ananifi ma esis.


eng: A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him and saying, “Come over into Macedonia and help us.”

aoj: Aꞌi owaꞌ owamb ambamba, Pol nati anom hiahaom siꞌi koh dondoꞌah, nati anona aman Masedoniainai nalutu nofalai Pol naꞌipana dindinip naꞌi, “Inaꞌ newala nimbuwi naoh aꞌ nifiꞌi Masedonia netopalopapa.”


eng: Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.

aoj: Eaꞌ amom mindihiꞌama Misia miliana mafeꞌ Troas.


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

aoj: Eaꞌ mape anep itap luꞌupa Misia, mafeꞌ mataga felefeleꞌ ma anep itap luꞌupa Bitinia maꞌi muwis itap apamba. Owaꞌ Ambal buꞌunai Godi niliꞌamama mogafeꞌ anamba.

aoj: Ambal buꞌunai Godi nasopama amom mogawalapa basefa esis Asia. Eaꞌ mafeꞌ laꞌafena itap apamba luꞌupa biafip Frigiai Galesia.

aoj: Eaꞌ deiꞌ esis Kristen sahapifa Jisas banages aꞌowaꞌ eaꞌ wambota esis Kristeni sataga sandanda nimaguf hiafi ahias aꞌowaꞌ.


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

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

aoj: Pol okom maꞌi Timoti nefeꞌ nolomana. Eaꞌ isimba atis deiꞌ naoꞌwana natopaꞌmana alop.

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

aoj: Esis Kristen Listrai Aikoniami saꞌi waf Timotii buꞌwafi.


eng: He came to Derbe and Lystra; and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess who believed, but his father was a Greek.

aoj: Pol nafeꞌ nataga Derbai Listra wapani wambel ambalemba anona aman alipunai nagahapifa Jisasi nape, agilinama Timoti. Anen nogama anoꞌw nemataꞌw Judaiꞌwi, akoꞌw wapani Kristen. Apaꞌ ahamana esis Griki.

aoj: Eaꞌ Pol nafeꞌ laꞌafena etap anama hiagoma Siria naloma Silisia naloma Sailas mafeꞌ mandaꞌ esis Kristen sataga laꞌifis.


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

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

aoj: Eaꞌ Barnabas naꞌi noꞌwa Jon Mak nefeꞌ nolomam. Apaꞌ Pol nandaiwaꞌma anen nefeꞌ nogalomam. Deiꞌ main, aman anamba fowaꞌ nakwaha amom gani Pamfilia notanima nafeꞌ. Ina nalomam atin mafeꞌ mandaꞌ maol hiꞌalan, owaꞌ.

aoj: Ama main anif nimaguf fafeꞌ ma hiꞌalef owaꞌ, Pol naꞌipa Barnabas naꞌi, “Afaꞌ biafa ataꞌ otanima ofeꞌ uti esis Kristen sahin owan taun hiagoma fowaꞌ wafeꞌ wagawalapa basef Dembinaima. Ama ogogawa esis, sape andeandeꞌ aꞌa owa.”


eng: After they had spent some time there, they were dismissed in peace from the brothers to the apostles.

aoj: Amam ataꞌ mapani anom nimeguf Antiok, esis Kristen sandaꞌmam nemaf buꞌunai ma amam mape opalef awanem. Eaꞌ sasapaꞌam mutanima mafeꞌma esis sasapaꞌam mafiꞌi.


eng: But it was seen to Silas, to dwell there; and Judas went alone to Jeru-salem.

aoj: Eaꞌ Sailas naꞌi nopani Antiok.


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

aoj: Owaꞌ owaꞌatin. Barnabas naloma Pol atom ataꞌ mapani Antiok, mandaꞌ maol maloma anom amam hiami wapani mawalapa basef buꞌwafi Dembinaii mawalipasef.

aoj: Judas naloma Sailas amom profet. Deiꞌ maꞌipasa basef hiafi buꞌwafi esis Kristen, mowaꞌ banagas mafela ukup asasipi.


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

aoj: Eaꞌ esis satilis sonahasa basef ifimba buꞌwafi fegewaꞌ banaga esisi.


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

aoj: Eaꞌ esis sios sasapaꞌam mafiꞌi Antiok, makolasai esis Kristen atogon masoꞌasa pas isimba.


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

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

aoj: Holi Spirit Ambal Godi nape nalomafa waꞌi basef wandameꞌmaef naꞌamba. Afaꞌ ina oseꞌepa anom nimanimi pefaꞌam, owaꞌ. Waf afambai atef ipaꞌ pendandaꞌaf.


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

aoj: Afaꞌ deiꞌ wasapaꞌago Judas naloma Sailas ama atiasi miꞌipipa basef ifimba atif afaꞌ waꞌif wandaꞌef fagafeꞌmago ipeꞌi malogof amamugufi.


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

aoj: Afaꞌ wameꞌas eaꞌ anis epes afaꞌisi safoꞌo sandaꞌepa pesafel gogolalasipa kwapeteꞌ ma basef asasifi, sandaꞌepa ombal mahepa ukup pandopelaepa. Esis sandaꞌam naꞌamba saꞌi sogahondoꞌ ukup ipeꞌipi. Apaꞌ afaꞌ inaꞌ waꞌipas safoꞌo sondaꞌepa naꞌamba, owaꞌ.


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

aoj: Esis sasoꞌama anif basef fagail pipai ma lagof amom biami Judasi Sailas fagaꞌi naꞌamba faꞌi, “Afaꞌ aposel afaꞌ agufufai sahopepa ipeꞌifai, eaꞌ afaꞌ deiꞌ wandaꞌago basef ifimba fafeꞌmago ipaꞌ sahin owan owaꞌ Judaipaia. Ipaꞌ pagape wambel Antioki ma itap luꞌupa Siriai Silisia, afaꞌ waꞌi nemaf buꞌwafi ma ipaꞌ sahin owan.


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

aoj: Eaꞌ amom aposel maloma agufumi mugumafi maol Godi maloma esis Kristen hiasi saꞌi basef atifif sandandepa anom amam biam asasimi agufumi Judas agol waꞌagol Barsabas naloma Sailas. Amom biam amagah luꞌugahimi laꞌafena esis Kristeni. Eaꞌ saꞌi sosapaꞌam mefeꞌ Antiok moloma Poli Barnabas.


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

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

aoj: Apaꞌ mondaꞌ anif basef fefeꞌma esis miꞌipas miꞌi ina seaꞌ gwaꞌaisi mais sondolalimasa god basoꞌamunaii, owaꞌi. Isimba alogw awagwi gwagailasi.

Aeꞌ aꞌi apaꞌ mondaꞌmasa basef ifimba atif fefeꞌma esis.


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

aoj: Deiꞌ nomonas aeꞌasi sandandaꞌ naꞌamba. Epes anep miniꞌap asagambema nelelemb sagafeꞌma God eaꞌi, apaꞌ ina mosoꞌasa nimanimi esis, owaꞌ.


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

aoj: “Anafa aeꞌ itanima igafiꞌi, ipat atamba Deviti eaꞌ tagatuwi, atamba atiasi esaꞌmata totawa wapani. Hiahaom ipat atambai eaꞌ awasim, amamba atiasi endaꞌam motaga dambaim wapani, eaꞌ esaꞌmata totawa.


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

aoj: Eaꞌ basef fowaꞌ God nagaꞌipa amom profet fagail buk Baibeli eaꞌ naꞌamba atin siꞌi ifimba. Basef ifimba fagaꞌias faꞌi,


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

aoj: Simeon naꞌipapa eaꞌ ma dambadamba God nihimbaꞌmapa naliꞌ nagati esis amam nematawa owaꞌ Judaisia uwahipis nowambilai anis sogape ananisi.


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

aoj: Amom maꞌipasa eaꞌ, Jems naꞌias naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ sahin owan, ipaꞌ pemeꞌ basef aeꞌafi.


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

aoj: Apaꞌ mogawa ufiaꞌw akwamba Dembinai Jisas nagatopalopapa dowaf, deiꞌ God nofaꞌapa mutanimai eaꞌ ananipai, apaꞌ maloma esis wapani.”


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

aoj: Deiꞌ maina ipaꞌ paꞌi ataꞌ pegagwamba God? Ipaꞌ ina pegwambasa hiahaom nimanimi esis Kristen sofaꞌam, owaꞌi. Fowaꞌ esis bafasapa eaꞌ apaꞌ wapani, ina laꞌifipama mogofaꞌ nimanimi ma mogatopaꞌ alop apeꞌipi, owaꞌatin.


eng: He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.

aoj: Anen ina nandaꞌ anef wafa apaꞌ a anef waf daiaf esis, owaꞌatin. Esis sahapifa God isimba atis opalef asasilifi fataga boꞌwalef.


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

aoj: God nogawa nelelemb esis amam nematawa hiasi eaꞌ, nihimbaꞌmafa nembel ananimbili ila ma esis. Anen nihimbaꞌmapa naꞌamba eaꞌ nasoꞌasa Ambal buꞌunai Ananinai esis siꞌi nagasoꞌapana apaꞌ.


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

aoj: Amom maꞌi basef hiafi ma eaꞌ, Pita nosafel nalutu naꞌipam naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ sahin owan, ipaꞌ pegawa, fowaꞌ God nawaloga maola afaꞌ, eaꞌ Anen nosahoꞌ aeꞌ eaꞌ ma egawalapa basef buꞌwafi ananifi ma epes daias owaꞌ Judaisia semeꞌefa sogahapifa God.


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

aoj: Eaꞌ amom aposel maloma agufumi mugumafi maol Godi mandakolas mape eaꞌ monandona basef ifimba.


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

aoj: Owaꞌ anom Kristen Farisi mosafel maꞌipa esis maꞌi, “Ipaꞌ pendatopaꞌmasa alop asasipi, piꞌipasa sogaila wafa muꞌuli God nagasoꞌ Mosesani.”


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

aoj: Amom mafeꞌ mataga Jerusalem, amom aposel maloma esis amam nematawa Kristen saloma agufumi asasimi sosafel sandalalamam sandaꞌmam gude amom. Eaꞌ Pol naloma Barnabas mosafel maꞌipas basefa maol hiani God natopalopama mandaꞌani.


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

aoj: Esis Kristen sasapaꞌam mafeꞌ eaꞌ mafeꞌ laꞌafena itap luꞌupa Fonisiai Samaria. Maꞌipasa basef esis Kristen sagape itap apamba biafipi ma sogogawa God eaꞌ nambema ukupa anis epes daias owaꞌ Judaisia. Esis Kristen sameꞌ basef ifimba fandaꞌ esis sandagala aꞌowaꞌ.


eng: Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul, Barnabas, and some others of them to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.

aoj: Amom maꞌias naꞌamba, mandaꞌ ukup Poli Barnabasi numbutip aꞌowaꞌ eaꞌ maꞌi basef banagafi mandahihianama maloma amom Judaimi. Eaꞌ esis Kristen sandandepa Poli Barnabas maloma anom amam magahapifa Kraisi wapani mondowasaꞌ Jerusalem maꞌi basef ifimba monandonaef maloma amom aposel maloma agufumi siosi.


eng: Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you can’t be saved.”

aoj: Anom amam magape Judiai miliana mataga Antiok maꞌipasa basef esis Kristen sagape wambota atota Godi. Masefela basef maꞌipas maꞌi, “Iꞌi ipaꞌ pindaiwaꞌma pigaila waf God nagaꞌipa Mosesafi ma owaꞌ petopaꞌ alop ipeꞌipia, atiasi God ina nuwambilaipa pitanimai, owaꞌatin.”


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

aoj: Eaꞌ mapani anif nimaguf hiafi maloma esis sagahapifa Kraisi.


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

aoj: Amom mataga Antiok mofala esis muwaꞌanias sandaꞌ kolasi eaꞌ maꞌipasa basefa maol Dembinai nape nalomam natopalopam mandaꞌani. Eaꞌ maꞌi, “God nandaꞌ ufiaꞌw kwagala esis amam nematawa hiasi anis daias owaꞌ Judaisia ma sogahapifa Krais.”


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

aoj: Anamba Atalia malota sip eaꞌ pofaꞌam mafeꞌ Antiok. Wambel ambalemba fowaꞌ esis Kristen sandandepam magapoma lagol Godi ma nagatopalopam dowafa mondaꞌ maol inimba deiꞌ mandaꞌani hiꞌagalani. Eaꞌ deiꞌ motanima mafiꞌi wambel ambaleꞌe.


eng: When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.

aoj: Amom mawalapa basefa esis epes sagape Pergai, ama main, miliana Atalia.


eng: They passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.

aoj: Ama main, amom mafeꞌ laꞌafena anip itap luꞌupa Pisidia, mafeꞌ mataga anep itap waꞌol Pamfilia.


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

aoj: Eaꞌ mandandepa agufumi mugumafi esis Kristeni mandandaꞌ sios isimba hiasi. Amom mololama gwaꞌasi mandabetena mandaꞌ esis sogape banagesa lagol Dembinaii anamba eaꞌ sagahapifanai.


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

aoj: eaꞌ mowaꞌ banaga esis Kristen. Amom maꞌipas dindinip naꞌamba maꞌi, “Ipaꞌ pendape banagepa pindahapifa Dembinai God. Apaꞌ mondameꞌ nimanimi akafimi mamimami ma mugawis nomona maol Godi nope Dembinai nugumafiapa.”


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

aoj: Poli Barnabas mawalapa basef buꞌwafi Godi taun inimba eaꞌ masaꞌma ukup esis amam nematawa hiasii sataga Kristen, alipisi Jisasi. Ama main, aꞌ motanima mafeꞌ walemb ambalemba Listrai Aikoniam Antiok


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

aoj: Owaꞌ esis sagahapifa Godi safiꞌi salutu salipana, aꞌ nosafel wapani eaꞌ nafeꞌ nawis taun. Ama wafilu nafeꞌ naloma Barnabas mafeꞌ Derbe.


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

aoj: Anom Juda magape Antioki Aikoniam mafiꞌi Listra masaꞌma ukup asasipi. Eaꞌ deiꞌ esis sakwaha otamba saha Pol saꞌi owaꞌ afuna eaꞌ sahondoꞌana nawisi naꞌoh andoꞌ taun inimba.


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

aoj: Amom maꞌipasa basef ifimba, mandaꞌ maol luꞌwani aꞌowaꞌ magatalagas ina sondolalim sondaꞌ ofamam, owaꞌ.


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

aoj: Apaꞌ anen ina nape nandambahiꞌi, owaꞌatin. Anen nihimbaꞌmapa waf ananifi ma nandaꞌ waf buꞌwafi ma apaꞌ. Anen napani heven nandaꞌ asaf falai ma ipaꞌ eaꞌ nandaꞌ hiahaom gwaꞌaimi buꞌwami mataga dondoꞌ nogota amamutai. Eaꞌ nowapanimipa gwaꞌaisi ipaꞌ, nandaꞌ opalef ipeꞌilifi sowenahalef.”


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

aoj: “Ipaꞌ epes, deiꞌ maina pandaꞌam naꞌamba? Afaꞌ wandaiwaꞌ. Afaꞌ biafa ina God dembifai, owaꞌatin. Afaꞌ epes atofa dowaf siꞌi ipaꞌ wawalipipa basef buꞌwafi.

eng: But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes and sprang into the multitude, crying out,

aoj: Owaꞌ aposel Barnabasi Pol mameꞌ esis saꞌi basef naꞌamba, amom mahapeꞌ klos maim amom magalami. Eaꞌ masagih mafeꞌ mawala esis amam nematawa laꞌafisa maꞌipas mehip maꞌi,


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

aoj: Ipat esis sandaꞌ lotuma Susi totawa andoꞌ taun inimba. Eaꞌ pris nondolalima Susi nofaꞌ anom bulmakau suwafumi maloma anis afis sogowaloꞌasi eaꞌ nafiꞌi uta atamba tauni. Anen nalumai esis amam nematawa saꞌi sondolali sondaꞌ ofa ma amom biam.


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

aoj: Barnabas sofalana saꞌi anona dembinai Sus. Eaꞌ Pol anen aman nandaꞌ basef atumi. Eaꞌ sofalana saꞌi anona dembinai Hermes.


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

aoj: Amam nematawa hiasi sati hiahawes isimba Pol nandaꞌasi eaꞌ soga saꞌi diga Likoniai naꞌamba saꞌi, “Amom god dembami apeꞌimi biam mataga siꞌi epes misilaꞌmai apaꞌ!”


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

aoj: Eaꞌ natolona dindinip naꞌi basef banagambel naꞌamba naꞌi, “Inaꞌ safel nilutu.” Eaꞌ nosafel nandasaꞌma kwafalis nalutu eaꞌ nafeꞌ.


eng: There they preached the Good News.

aoj: Amom mandaꞌ maol mawalapa basef buꞌwafi Godi ma esis sagape walemb ambalembai.


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

aoj: Eaꞌ amom mogawa isimba mafaꞌ mafeꞌ itap luꞌupa Likonia ma walemb bialemb Listrai Derbe eaꞌ analemb walemb felefeleꞌma anamba.


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

aoj: Ama main, esis epes owaꞌ Judaisia saloma esis sandaꞌipama saꞌi basef sandameꞌmaef saloma amom agufumi asasimi eaꞌ saꞌi sondaꞌ Poli Barnabas aom. Saꞌi sokwaha otamba soham afum.


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

aoj: Eaꞌ amom mandilaꞌma sopof fagail boꞌwagah amamugahi ma mondolaꞌwaifa waf awafi fegapoma esis. Eaꞌ mosafel mafeꞌ Aikoniam.


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

aoj: Owaꞌ esis Juda sasaꞌmai anowa nematawa agufuwai wandaꞌ lotuma Godi waloma anom agufumi magape taun inimba luꞌwagomai eaꞌ sahambombaga Poli Barnabas sandaꞌam kwapeteꞌam. Eaꞌ sagaloꞌmam wambel asasimbili.


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

aoj: Eaꞌ basef Dembinai fafeꞌagon hiꞌalagon anamba hiagoma.


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

aoj: Eaꞌ esis daias owaꞌ Judaisia sameꞌ basef ifimba sandagala aꞌowaꞌ. Esis sonahasa basef Dembinaii sasaꞌma agol ananigili. Eaꞌ amam nematawa isimba God nogosahoꞌasi ma sogape namis dondol lifilafi, isimba sagahapifa Jisasi.


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

aoj: Deiꞌ main, Dembinai naꞌipafa dindinipa anif basef fagail buk Baibeli nagaꞌi naꞌamba naꞌi, ‘Aeꞌ andaꞌ ipaꞌ siꞌi lagalaꞌma esis anis daias owaꞌ Judaisia. Ama ipaꞌ pegatopalopa esis amam nematawa sagape walemb hiagomai ma itap apaꞌe. Ama anaf efaꞌas sotanimai hiꞌigalas.’”


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

aoj: Eaꞌ Pol naloma Barnabas ina ombal maham, owaꞌ. Amom maꞌipasef banagambel alihif maꞌi, “Endilisi, afaꞌ ataꞌ ondaseꞌepa basef Godi ipaꞌ Juda pindaliꞌ. Apaꞌ owaꞌ, owaꞌatin.

Afaꞌ deiꞌ aꞌ okwaha ipaꞌ ofeꞌ ugiꞌma epes owa Judaisia wiꞌipasa basef ifimba.


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

aoj: Owaꞌ esis Juda sagati amam nematawa hiasi aꞌowaꞌ sandakolasi, eaꞌ ukup kowalep endilisi aꞌowaꞌ. Eaꞌ saꞌi basef awafi ma Pol saꞌi anen nambasoꞌmas.


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

aoj: Ama aꞌi owaꞌ main sabat nemaf fagagiꞌi, amam nematawa sagape wambel ambalembai safiꞌi sandakolasa sogameꞌ basef Godi. Amam nematawa isimba felefeleꞌma hiꞌigalas wambel ambalemba.


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

aoj: Eaꞌ Pol naloma Barnabas maꞌi muwis mofeꞌ andoꞌ, owaꞌ esis amam nematawa saꞌias naꞌamba saꞌi, “Nemaf sabat afamba figagiꞌi apaꞌ maꞌi ipaꞌ bipa pitanima pifiꞌi eaꞌ piꞌipapa basef ifimba wapani.”


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

aoj: Eaꞌ esis sakwaha ipat sandakolasatai sawisi andoꞌ eaꞌ esis Juda hiasi saloma anis epes hiasi daias sagiꞌmam. Epes isimba daias ina Juda, owaꞌ. Apaꞌ esis asofaꞌ waf esis Juda sandaꞌ lotuwafi eaꞌ.

eng: Beware therefore, lest that come on you which is spoken in the prophets:

aoj: Deiꞌ ipaꞌ pendegawa waf ipeꞌifi andeandeꞌ beꞌef aꞌa awef? Naꞌamba hiahaom amamba awami mifiꞌmai ipaꞌ siꞌi amom profet fowaꞌ magaꞌiami maꞌi,


eng: Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins;

aoj: Amama atom deiꞌ aeꞌ aꞌi ipeꞌ sahin owan pegawa basef apeꞌimi amama. Aman anama nakwaha waf aonai ipeꞌ pandaꞌanai.


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

aoj: Muꞌuli inimba God nagasoꞌ Mosesani inimba ina banagani ma negakwaha waf awafi ipeꞌifi ma pegape wahifipa andeandeꞌ, owaꞌatin. Apaꞌ aman anamba nagakwaha waf hiafi awafi ma ipaꞌ ami pegahapifa anini, ma pegape wahifipa usiꞌipa ma naep Godi.

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

aoj: Apaꞌ aman anamba God notanima nagafelona wapanii, anen ina foloꞌwalana, owaꞌatin.


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

aoj: “Apaꞌ mogawa Devit nagahapila maol nagaila okom Godii laꞌafena esis amam nematawa sape sagaloma anini. Aꞌi owaꞌ main, anen nagaꞌ nafeꞌ naloma amom bafapana ananimi eaꞌ foloꞌwalana.


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

aoj: “Eaꞌ siꞌi anif basef fagape buk Sami ma anen wapani fagaꞌias naꞌamba faꞌi, ‘Ina atiasi niꞌi ahoꞌma aman anamba nondaꞌ maol ineꞌini datimai foloꞌolana, owaꞌatin.’


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

aoj: Deiꞌ God nasaꞌmana wapani matmat, eaꞌ anen ina ataꞌ notanima nofeꞌ matmat wapani foloꞌolana, owaꞌatin. Eaꞌ naꞌamba atin siꞌi God naꞌias wapani nagaꞌi, ‘Atiasi aeꞌ etopalopepa eseꞌepa basef ifimba fasifi aeꞌafi ipaꞌ, fowaꞌ aꞌif eaꞌ ma aꞌi igaꞌipanaef Deviti, ifimba andeandeꞌma ipaꞌ pigahapifif.’


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

aoj: eaꞌ maꞌwis isimba deiꞌ God nasoꞌ apaꞌ awasi ananipai ma nasaꞌma Jisas nagape namona. Nasaꞌma Jisas siꞌi basef fagape buk Baibel Sam nagafeꞌma bifi fagaꞌias naꞌamba God naꞌi, ‘Inaꞌ Nogame aeꞌinai. Nemaf deiꞌifi aeꞌ ataga ahamena ineꞌiwai.’

aoj: “Eaꞌ apaꞌ deiꞌ maꞌipipa basef fasifi ipaꞌ. Hiahawes isimba fowaꞌ God naꞌiasa naꞌi nogasoꞌasas akusipa apeꞌisii,


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

aoj: Esis isimba hiasi sakwaha itap apamba luꞌwagoma agol Galili eaꞌ salomana sondowasaꞌ Jerusalemi, esis satolona nimaguf hiafi. Deiꞌ epes isimba safeꞌ sawalapa basefa apaꞌ Israela anen.


eng: But God raised him from the dead,

aoj: Owaꞌ God nasaꞌmana wapani.


eng: When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.

aoj: Esis sandaꞌas hiꞌalas hiahawes isimba siꞌi fowaꞌ amom profet maꞌi basef mandaꞌef fagape buk Baibeli magaꞌifa anini. Ama main, esis satagwaha anen nisilaꞌi lawag usiꞌigai tiꞌwanaegai eaꞌ sawana anota matmat.

aoj: Esis ina sati anif basef kofagefa waf awafi ma sohana nogagaꞌ, owaꞌ. Eaꞌ sofalai gavman dembinai Pailat ma niꞌi ahoꞌma mohana nogagaꞌ dowaf.


eng: For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they didn’t know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.

aoj: Eaꞌ esis sagape Jerusalami saloma amom agufumi asasimi, esis ina sogawa aman anamba nofaꞌapa mogotanimaii, owaꞌ. Esis ina sogawa andeandeꞌ basef ifimba amom profet fowaꞌ magaꞌiefi, owaꞌ.

eng: “Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to you.

aoj: Eaꞌ felefeleꞌma Jon naꞌi nondaꞌ maol ananini hiꞌigalan, aꞌ naꞌi, ‘Ipaꞌ ukup papoma aeꞌ paꞌimama? Aeꞌ ina aman anamba dembinai ipaꞌ pape pegehafanai, owaꞌ. Ipaꞌ pemeꞌ! Aman anamba anaf nigiꞌma aeꞌ nogafiꞌii, anen buꞌunai nikilaꞌ aeꞌ. Aeꞌ ina buꞌuwai ma egatagwaha mandelefa su ananimi, owaꞌ.’

aoj: Fowaꞌ Jisas ataꞌ owaꞌ nifiꞌia, nogota atamba aman anamba Jon nawalapa basef naꞌipa esis Israel hiasi ma sombema nelelemb sokwaha waf awafi sefeꞌma Goda sogofaꞌ baptais.


eng: From this man’s offspring, God has brought salvation to Israel according to his promise,

eng: When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’

aoj: “Aꞌi owaꞌ main, God naliꞌamona king Sol, nandaꞌ Devit nataga nape king asasinai. Anen naꞌipasa aman anamba Devit naꞌi, ‘Devit nogama Jesii, okom aeꞌami maimailana aꞌowaꞌ. Anen atiasi nogaila okom aeꞌami atom magaꞌiasi.’


eng: Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

aoj: Nogota atamba esis sawa salef saꞌi sofaꞌ anona king dembinai, eaꞌ God nasoꞌasa anona aman Sol, Kis nogamana. Aman anamba nataga miniꞌap Benjamini. Eaꞌ anen nape king dembinai ma afagof hiagufi 40-pelaiguf.

eng: When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land for an inheritance for about four hundred fifty years.

aoj: Ma itap luꞌupa agilipa Kainan anen nahambombaga misiꞌah 7-pelaih amam nematawa hiasi eaꞌ nasoꞌasa itap apamba pafeꞌma esis Israel,


eng: The God of this people chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as aliens in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it.

aoj: God dembinai esis Israeli, anen nandandepa esis akusapa apeꞌisi ma afamba esis sefeꞌ sailas sagapani itap apamba luꞌupa Isip eaꞌ anen nandaꞌas sataga hias aꞌowaꞌ miniꞌap laupi. Aꞌi owaꞌ main, banagami ananimi atom nofaꞌ esis sakwaha itap apamba safiꞌi.


eng: Paul stood up, and gesturing with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.

aoj: Eaꞌ Pol nosafel nasaꞌma lagol naꞌi basef naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ Israel hipai paloma ipaꞌ anipa epes pendaꞌ lotuma Godi, ipaꞌ pemeꞌ basef aeꞌafi.


eng: After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak.”

eng: But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.

aoj: Eaꞌ makwaha wambel ambalemba Perga mafeꞌ mataga anambel wambel Antiok bagape anep itap luꞌupa Pisidiai. Aꞌi owaꞌ nemaf afamba sabat esis Juda sagapoma nomaꞌwafi amom mafeꞌ mawis ipat Juda sandakolasatai eaꞌ matoma sia.


eng: Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.

aoj: Pol naloma amom magalumanai makwaha wambel Pafos eaꞌ sip pofaꞌam mafeꞌ anambel wambel Perga bagape anep itap luꞌupa Pamfilia. Owaꞌ aman anamba Jon nakwaha amom notanima nafeꞌ Jerusalem.


eng: Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

aoj: Eaꞌ gavman anamba dembinai nati hiahawes isimba gogolalasona endilisi ma basef Dembinaii eaꞌ deiꞌ nahapifa Jisas.


eng: and said, “You son of the devil, full of all deceit and all cunning, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

aoj: “Inaꞌ awani nogama Satani! Inaꞌ bounai ma waf afamba hiafi fasifi! Waf afamba basoꞌamifi hiafi awafi asiꞌifa inaꞌ endilisi! Inaꞌ nimaguf hiafi dondol nagambemefa basef endilisifi buꞌwafi Dembinaii fagataga basoꞌafi. Deiꞌ maina inaꞌ nandaiwaꞌma negakwaha waf awafi ineꞌifi?


eng: When they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar Jesus,

aoj: Amam mafeꞌ mataga wambel hiagoma nape ailan anama Saiprusi, eaꞌ mafeꞌ mataga wambel Pafos nape diꞌinai. Eaꞌ mati anona aman anan Judainai. Anan nandaꞌ ambagof nandaꞌ amamaga mamumami basoꞌmaimi. Anan profet nambasoꞌma esis hiesi, agilinama Barjisas.


eng: who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.

aoj: Anan alupunai ma dembinai gavman agilinama Sergius Paulus. Sergius Paulus anan nomonas okom buꞌunai napainai. Anan nofalai Barnabas naloma Sol mafiꞌi ma anan nemeꞌ basef Godi ma amam.


eng: But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.

aoj: Eaꞌ aman anama agel ananinai diga Griki saꞌi Elimas, nandaꞌ ambagofi nasambala basef amam biam maꞌiami. Naꞌi nomboma okom gavman anama dembinai ma ina nambimb nembaleꞌefa basef Godi.

eng: When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed God’s word in the Jewish synagogues. They also had John as their attendant.

aoj: Eaꞌ mataga Salamis, mawis nomon ipat esis Juda sandakolasatai maꞌipasa basef buꞌwafi Godi, Jon Mak wapani nape nalomam natopalopam.


eng: So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.

aoj: Ambal buꞌunai Godi nasapaꞌ amom biam mafeꞌ miliana anambel wambel Selusia. Eaꞌ malota anop sip naꞌamba Salusia pofaꞌam mafeꞌ anin ailan Saiprus.


eng: Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

aoj: Eaꞌ esis sololama gwaꞌaisi sandabeten, sawamona lagofa amom biam sasapaꞌam mafeꞌ.


eng: As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them.”

aoj: Esis Kristen sololama gwaꞌaisi sandaꞌ lotuma God atona sape. Eaꞌ Ambal buꞌunai Godi naꞌipas naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ pendandepa Barnabasi Sola maol inimba aeꞌ efalam andandepam mondaꞌani.”


eng: Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

aoj: Esis amam nematawa Kristen sagape Antioki anom amam magawalapa basef fasifi Godi mape. Anom profet maloma anom tisa magawalipasa basef Godi isimba sagahapifanai. Agof amamugufi agwafomba. Barnabasi Saimon agol waꞌagol Naisa, Lusius, anen wambel Sairininai, maloma Sol, a Manain, anen alipunai Heroti gavman dembinai.


eng: Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their service, also taking with them John who was called Mark.

aoj: Barnabas naloma Sol mambifa maol God nagasoꞌamani hiꞌalan Jerusalem eaꞌ motanima mafeꞌ Antiok maoꞌwa Jon Mak nafeꞌ nalomam.


eng: But the word of God grew and multiplied.

aoj: Eaꞌ basef Dembinaii fataga banagef fafeꞌ walemb hielimbi ma epes hiasi sogahapifana.


eng: Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he didn’t give God the glory. Then he was eaten by worms and died.

aoj: Eaꞌ Herot ina ataꞌ nasaꞌma agol Godi, aꞌ owaꞌatin. Naꞌamba deiꞌ atef ensel Dembinaii nahana. Eaꞌ asagof uguf saꞌusaꞌusi sahana sahahapeꞌ alop ananinai eaꞌ afuna.


eng: The people shouted, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!”

aoj: Eaꞌ esis sematefana saꞌi mehip saꞌi, “Anamba malogol anona dembinai siꞌi God. Anen ina malogol anona epeni, owaꞌatin!”


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

aoj: Anan okom numbutinama esis amam nematawa sape wambel luꞌunai biefina Tair naloma Saidon. Eaꞌ enis epes Tair naloma Saidon sandakolas safiꞌmai anan.

Deiꞌ main, epes sape wambel anama biefina sofaꞌ gwaꞌaimi ma etap hiagoma kingi.


eng: On an appointed day, Herod dressed himself in royal clothing, sat on the throne, and gave a speech to them.

aoj: Ama anef nemaf Herot nandandepafi anen nandausa sosaf dembinai kingi eaꞌ nape natoma sia kingi nandaꞌ basef luꞌwafi ma esis.


eng: When Herod had sought for him and didn’t find him, he examined the guards, then commanded that they should be put to death. He went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed there.

aoj: Eaꞌ Herot wapani nalaꞌ nolaoma Pita, apaꞌ owaꞌ owaꞌatin, ina natolona nofaꞌanai, owaꞌ. Eaꞌ nandambema nahaliꞌ amom soldia nandaꞌ kotimama noham mogagaꞌ. Eaꞌ Herot nakwaha itap luꞌupa Judia nafeꞌ niliana napani wambel Sisaria.


eng: Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter.

aoj: Ama awin natafi, amom soldia matimana owaꞌ, aꞌ mosafel gogolalasom kwapeteꞌ nomonas hiahawes sapaomana eaꞌ maꞌi, “Pita nafeꞌ ani?”


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

aoj: Eaꞌ Pita nandaꞌ lagol atogol naꞌipasa sogasopama malogof. Eaꞌ naꞌipasa hiahawes isimba Dembinai nofaꞌana nakwaha ipat sandaꞌ kalabusa naoꞌwana nagawisi andoꞌ. Eaꞌ naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ piꞌipago Jems nolomago sahin owan ama hiahawes isimba.” Eaꞌ nakwaha esis notanima nawisi andoꞌ nafeꞌ anagon.


eng: But Peter continued knocking. When they had opened, they saw him and were amazed.

aoj: Owaꞌ Pita ataꞌ nalutu naha uta atapina. Eaꞌ esis sameꞌana safeꞌ sawisiꞌ uta satolona, sosafel gogolalasis kwapeteꞌasa anen.


eng: They said to her, “You are crazy!” But she insisted that it was so. They said, “It is his angel.”

aoj: Owaꞌ esis saꞌipaꞌw saꞌi, “Inaꞌ okom maolena aꞌa!” Owaꞌ akoꞌw dindinapiꞌw kwaꞌias kwaꞌi, “Owaꞌatin. Endilisi atis, anen nalutu andoꞌ.” Eaꞌ esis saꞌi, “Anamba ensel ananinai atona.”


eng: When she recognized Peter’s voice, she didn’t open the gate for joy, but ran in and reported that Peter was standing in front of the gate.

aoj: Owaꞌ kwameꞌ malogol Pitai aꞌ kogawana, okom akwaꞌumi sonahaꞌw aꞌowaꞌ eaꞌ ina kwawisiꞌ uta, owaꞌ. Kwasagih kotanima kwafeꞌ nomon kwaꞌipas kwaꞌi, “Pita nani nalutu uta andoꞌ!”


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

aoj: Anen okom mandandaꞌma isimba eaꞌ, nafeꞌ ipat Mariai, Jon Mak maꞌmana nati esis Kristen sandakolas sape ipat atamba atota sape sandabeten.


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

aoj: Eaꞌ okom Pitai aꞌ mataga alihim nogawa naꞌi, “Deiꞌ aeꞌ egawa endilisi. Dembinai nasapaꞌi ensel ananinai nafiꞌi natagwahowe ma lagol dembinai king Heroti, ma awami amamba hiami esis Juda ukup papoma saꞌi sondaꞌme ami.”


eng: When they were past the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened to them by itself. They went out and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.

aoj: Amom biam mafeꞌ makwaha amom plisman malutu magaliꞌi mafeꞌ mikilaꞌ anom wapani eaꞌ mafeꞌ mataga uta luꞌutai ainambitai. Uta atamba sagafeꞌ tauna. Eaꞌ uta atamba luꞌutai tandawisiꞌ dowafa amom biam. Eaꞌ amom makwaha kalabus mawisi andoꞌ aꞌ mafeꞌ anoꞌw ufiaꞌw. Eaꞌ kwafalis atis ensel aꞌ nandambahoꞌma Pita nafeꞌ anagon.


eng: The angel said to him, “Get dressed and put on your sandals.” He did so. He said to him, “Put on your cloak and follow me.”

aoj: Eaꞌ ensel naꞌipana naꞌi, “Inaꞌ wahoꞌ let nugundisa klos la su boꞌwagah ineꞌigahi.” Eaꞌ Pita nandaꞌam siꞌi ensel nagaꞌipana. Eaꞌ ensel naꞌipana wapani naꞌi, “La saket ineꞌinai nigiꞌma aeꞌ nifiꞌi.”


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

aoj: Eaꞌ kwafalis atis atef bif owaꞌ, ensel Dembinaii nataga naloma nogogalaꞌi nogalaꞌ nawis ipat sandaꞌ kalabusa nomon. Eaꞌ ensel napisi lambeh Pitai ninimbalana naꞌipana naꞌi, “Inaꞌ safel kwafalis.” Eaꞌ sen peleꞌatana dowaf lagof Pitai nowa naꞌoh itap.


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

aoj: Ama wafilu Herot naꞌi nofaꞌ Pita nefeꞌ kot. Eaꞌ nemaf afamba owaꞌ ataꞌ fetaga ulala, aꞌi owaꞌ owamb ambamba Pita naꞌoh laꞌafena anom soldia biam. Amom mowaꞌ Pita sen biafin. Anom soldia malutu mumafi uta ipat atamba sandaꞌ kalabusa.


eng: Peter therefore was kept in the prison, but constant prayer was made by the assembly to God for him.

aoj: Owaꞌ Pita napani kalabus amom mape mumafiana. Apaꞌ lifilafi esis Kristen sandabeten banagambela God nugumafiana.


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

aoj: Anen nombaloꞌ Pita nandaꞌana nandaꞌ kalabus. Eaꞌ nandaꞌana nafeꞌma soldia misiꞌah biahi biah eaꞌ mumafiana. Herot okom mandandaꞌ naꞌi otaꞌ ma esis Juda sope seaꞌ gwaꞌaisi luꞌwasi sagaꞌi Pasovai ma hiꞌilas, daoꞌ aꞌ nolaꞌi Pita nuwisi andoꞌma naep amam nematawa hiasi sotolona, aꞌ nohana nogaꞌ.


eng: He killed James, the brother of John, with the sword.

aoj: Eaꞌ naꞌipa anom soldia ananimi maha Jems, Jon sahomana bainat nagaꞌ.


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

aoj: Nogota atamba dembinai king Herot nahambombaga anis amam nematawa Kristen.


eng: One of them named Agabus stood up and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.

aoj: Anona profeta amom sofalana saꞌi Agabus, anen nalutu banagonama Ambal buꞌunai Godi eaꞌ nawalapa basefa nemaf luꞌwafi nolomogahasafi atiasi fegataga itap walemb anamba hiagoma. Ama aꞌi owaꞌ main, aman anamba Klodius nataga nape gavman dembinai esis Romi, nogota atamba nolom luꞌunai aꞌ nataga siꞌi fowaꞌ Agabus nagaꞌias.


eng: Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

aoj: Nogota atamba anom profet magape Jerusalami miliana Antiok.


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

aoj: Ama natolona, nofaꞌana nafiꞌi Antiok. Eaꞌ amom biam mape anagol afagol siꞌigili maloma esis Kristen amam nematawa sagape Antioki mawalipa miniꞌap laupi amam nematawa ma basef Godi.

eng: Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.

aoj: Eaꞌ Barnabas nafeꞌ Tarsus nolaoma Sol.


eng: For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.

aoj: Barnabas anen aman buꞌunai, Ambal buꞌunai Godi nape siꞌinama anen, nagahapifana datimai. Eaꞌ natopalopa esis amam nematawa miniꞌap laupi ma sagahapifa Dembinai eaꞌ sawisi miniꞌap ananipi.


eng: who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.

aoj: Anen nafeꞌ nataga nati God nandaꞌ esis boꞌwesa waf buꞌwafi numafias nandagalamas. Nafela ukup esis amam nematawa hiasi ma sogaila Dembinai banagambel dondol.


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

aoj: Eaꞌ esis amam nematawa Kristen sagape Jerusalemi sameꞌ basefa isimba eaꞌ sasapaꞌ Barnabas nafeꞌ Antiok.


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

aoj: Eaꞌ banagami Dembinaii atom mape maloma amom, isimba atis deiꞌ amam nematawa hiasi sambema nelelemb safiꞌmai Dembinai.


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

aoj: Apaꞌ anom amam Saiprusimi maloma anom Sairinimi mafeꞌ Antiok mawalapa basef ifimba ma esis Grik wapani. Amom mawalapa basef buꞌwafi ma Dembinai Jisas Krais.


eng: They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.

aoj: Fowaꞌ amom magaha Stiven nagagaꞌi mandaꞌ nimanimi luꞌwami matagama esis Kristen amam nematawa mahas. Eaꞌ esis sagahapifanai safaꞌ safeꞌagon ganigani eaꞌ sataga anambel wambel Antiok safeꞌ anep itap biafip luꞌwapi Saiprusi Fonisia sawalapa basef Godi ma esis Juda atis. Anis daias owaꞌatin.


eng: If then God gave to them the same gift as us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?”

aoj: Fowaꞌ apaꞌ mogahapifa Dembinai Jisas Krais eaꞌ God nasoꞌapa Ambal buꞌunai ananinai apaꞌ dowaf siꞌi presen. Eaꞌ deiꞌ aeꞌ ami ma laꞌifiwi egasopama God? Owaꞌatin.”


eng: As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.

aoj: “Eaꞌ aeꞌ asoumbai basef aꞌif, Ambal buꞌunai Godi aꞌ nisilaꞌmai esis, nafiꞌi naꞌamba atin siꞌi naliꞌ nagafiꞌmai apaꞌ Juda dambadamba.


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

aoj: naꞌipafa ma nagati ensel nagalutumana nomon gani ipat ananitai naꞌipana naꞌi, ‘Inaꞌ nesapaꞌ anom amam mofeꞌ Jopa miꞌipa Saimon agol waꞌagol Pita ma nigafiꞌmai inaꞌ.

aoj: Ama niꞌipina anom basef ineꞌ ma basef amama etoma God nigiambama ineꞌ neloma esis wambota ineꞌinai soloma esis sandaꞌ maol ineꞌimi ma nofaꞌepa petanimani.’


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

aoj: Eaꞌ Ambal buꞌunai Godi naꞌipi naꞌi, ‘Inaꞌ foꞌo lomago amom, inaꞌ owaꞌi okom molamefeꞌa.’ Amom sahope amamba wanom wanom mafeꞌ malome. Eaꞌ afaꞌ wafeꞌ wawis ipat aman anambai,


eng: Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.

aoj: “Ama main, deiꞌ atef amam amamba wanom mafiꞌi mataga ipat atamba afaꞌ wagapoma. Anona aman nagape Sisariai nasapaꞌam mafiꞌmai aeꞌ.


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

aoj: Hiahaom amamba matagama aeꞌ wanifa eaꞌ, motanima malota heven ilif hiꞌalam.


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

aoj: “Owaꞌ malogol agalemba gafiꞌi ilif wapani bif gaꞌi, ‘Hiahaom God nandaꞌami magataga buꞌwamii, amamba ina aꞌ niꞌi alugumi, owaꞌi.’


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

aoj: “Owaꞌ aꞌipa Dembinai aꞌi, ‘Dembinai, aeꞌ andaiwaꞌ endilisi! Fowaꞌ aeꞌ ataꞌ saꞌowe afiꞌi afiꞌi ataga deiꞌ aeꞌ ina agaꞌ anom maefah awami alugumii, owaꞌatin.’


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

aoj: Eaꞌ ameꞌ anagol malagol gaꞌipi gaꞌi, ‘Pita, inaꞌ safel neha anom mafis neaꞌam.’


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

aoj: Eaꞌ aeꞌ aꞌi ataꞌ egawa amamba andeandeꞌ, atologon nomon lowaf anamba ati hiahaom mamimami hiami magape nomona lowaf anambai. Ati mafis hiam haom magalutu itapi mafis alupumi maloma uguf amiguf hiahaom magail alupi.


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

aoj: “Aeꞌ ape taun Jopa andabeten ape owaꞌ, okom aeꞌami mandambemef ati anis hiahawes siꞌi andandaꞌoh. Anom hiahaom luꞌwami misilaꞌi ilif siꞌi lowaf laufi endilisi. Hiahaom magahapila lowaf anamba daꞌmalifinama biafigin biafigini mahapilana malana nowalai heven ilif eaꞌ nafiꞌmai aeꞌ.


eng: But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,

aoj: Owaꞌ Pita naꞌipasa basef laufi ma hiahawes hiasi sagatagai. Naliꞌ naꞌipasa basef dambadamba fagaliꞌi nailif nafeꞌ nafeꞌ nambif. Eaꞌ naꞌi,


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

aoj: saꞌipana saꞌi, “Inaꞌ aꞌ nafeꞌ nawis ifagw amam amamba owaꞌ Juda mogatopaꞌ alopia naꞌ gwaꞌaisi nalomam.”


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

aoj: Eaꞌ Pita notanima nondowasaꞌ Jerusalem, owaꞌ anis epes Juda sagahapifa basef Godi sape. Esis sahapila waf fowaꞌifi dindinip saꞌi esis hiasi sagahapifanai sondagiꞌma muꞌuli esis Judai ma mogatopaꞌ alop amamipi. Eaꞌ sololaꞌagomana dindinipa basef ananifi


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

aoj: Eaꞌ amom aposel maloma esis sahin owan sagahapifanai sagape anamba Judia hiagomai sameꞌ basef ifimba ma anis amam nematawa owaꞌ Judaisia wapani sofaꞌ basef Godi sagahapilif.


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

aoj: Eaꞌ naꞌipa esis dindinip naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ pefaꞌ baptaisa agol Jisas Kraisi.” Eaꞌ saꞌipana saꞌi, “Inaꞌ ataꞌ nepe nelomapa anif nimaguf wapani.”


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

aoj: “Ina anin epen laꞌifina nindaiwaꞌma sogapisiꞌ amam nematawa isimba embel, owaꞌatin. Esis aꞌ sofaꞌ Ambal buꞌunai Godi naꞌamba atin siꞌi apaꞌ.”


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

aoj: Amom Juda mameꞌ esis saꞌi anoga diga naninani sasaꞌma agol Godi eaꞌ amom gogolalasom kwapeteꞌ. Eaꞌ Pita naꞌi,


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

aoj: Amam amamba Judaimi magahapifi mafiꞌi magalumai Pitai mosafel gogolalasom kwapeteꞌ ma mati God nagasoꞌas Ambal buꞌunai ananinai dowaf siꞌi presena esis amam nematawa owaꞌ Judaisia wapani.


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

aoj: Pita ataꞌ naꞌi basef ifimba atin owaꞌ, Ambal buꞌunai Godi nisilaꞌi ma amam nematawa hiasi sagameꞌ basef Godi nawisas.


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

aoj: Amom profet hiami maꞌiasa anen naꞌamba maꞌi, ‘Banagami ma agol ananigili atogol God nakwaha waf awafi esis amam nematawa hiasi sagahapifanai.’”


eng: He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that this is he who is appointed by God as the Judge of the living and the dead.

aoj: Anen naꞌipafa dindinipa ugaꞌipa esis amam nematawa ogawalapa basef alihif naꞌamba. God nandandepa aman anamba eaꞌ ma anaf nogape aman nondaꞌmasa kota epes isimba sagape namisi soloma isimba sagagaꞌ eaꞌi.


eng: not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

aoj: God ina nihimbaꞌmasana Juda hiasi hiꞌalas satolona, owaꞌ. Nihimbaꞌma afaꞌ atofa fowaꞌ God nandandepafa ma ogawalapa basef ananifii. Anen notanima nosafel matmat wapani eaꞌ waꞌ gwaꞌaisi walomana.


eng: God raised him up the third day and gave him to be revealed,

aoj: Ama nimaguf bif hiꞌalef eaꞌ fagafeꞌma wanifi God nasaꞌmana nosafel wapani nawalapana alihina.

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

aoj: Eaꞌ Pita naꞌipas naꞌi, “Ipaꞌ pegawa eaꞌ muꞌuli apaꞌ Judai maꞌi owaꞌatin endilisi ma apaꞌ mefeꞌ mugawis ifagw aꞌa mope mogaloma anis epes daias owaꞌ Judaisia, owaꞌ.

aoj: Owaꞌ Pita nasaꞌmana naꞌipana naꞌi, “Inaꞌ safel. Aeꞌ wapani epen atowe siꞌi inaꞌ.”

aoj: Eaꞌ Pita naꞌipam aꞌ mawis ipat nomon, naoꞌwam numafiam mape owamb ambamba. Wafilu nosafel aꞌ nafeꞌ nalomam. Anom amam Kristen Jopaimi mafeꞌ malomana.


eng: They said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say.”

aoj: Eaꞌ maꞌipana maꞌi, “Konilias anen kepten dembinai nugumafi soldia 100-pelaim hiamii, nasapaꞌafa wafiꞌi. Anen nagape hililiꞌi nandaꞌ lotuma Godi. Esis Juda hiasi sagaꞌi, ‘Anen aman buꞌunai.’ Anona ensel Godi naꞌipana ma nofalena negafeꞌ ipat ananitai, ma ataꞌ nogameꞌ anif basef ineꞌifi.”

aoj: Inaꞌ safel nisilaꞌ eaꞌ nefeꞌ nelomom. Inaꞌ owaꞌi okom mope hiahaoma, owaꞌ. Deiꞌ main, aeꞌ atowe asapaꞌam mafiꞌi.”

aoj: Pita ataꞌ nape okom mandandaꞌma hiahawes isimba owaꞌ, Ambal buꞌunai Godi naꞌipana naꞌi, “Nemeꞌ! Amam amamba wanom maꞌi molaoma inaꞌ.


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

aoj: Eaꞌ Pita okom malamafeꞌma hiahawes isimba naꞌi, “Koh dondoꞌah inimba aeꞌ agatulumi kofagema mamahoma?” Anen okom mandandaꞌ naꞌamba atapina nape owaꞌ, amam amamba Konilias nasapaꞌam magafiꞌii aꞌ mataga mahaliꞌasa ipat Saimon nagapautai. Eaꞌ mogawata, mafiꞌi malutu utaitama.


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

aoj: Amamba matagamana wanif naꞌamba, ma main, kwafalis aꞌ motanima malota otaga heven wapani.


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

aoj: Eaꞌ malogol agalemba gaꞌipana wapani gaꞌi, “Hiahaom God nagaꞌi buꞌwami, amamba ina niꞌi awami, owaꞌi.”


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

aoj: Owaꞌ Pita naꞌipana naꞌi, “Dembinai, aeꞌ owaꞌi endilisi. Aeꞌ ina eaꞌ anis mafis apaꞌ Juda magaꞌi awasisi, owaꞌ.”


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

aoj: Eaꞌ anagol malogol gaꞌipa Pita gaꞌi, “Pita, inaꞌ safel neha mafis neaꞌam.”


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

aoj: Nati otaga ilif aꞌ nandawisiꞌ eaꞌ anona maena siꞌi lowaf luꞌunai endilisi nisilaꞌi ilif nowalai. Anom maefah mahapila daꞌmalififa biafigin biafigin malana nisilaꞌi.

aoj: Amamaga mala lowaf anama nomoni, mafis amamaga hiami, amiguf mamumami mape aolopi, maloma iguf mamumami hiami.

aoj: Eaꞌ nolomahana naꞌi neaꞌ gwaꞌaisi, apaꞌ esis ataꞌ sandaꞌas atin, eaꞌ anom maefah matagamana siꞌi koh dondoꞌah.


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

aoj: Eaꞌ amom wanom mosafel mafeꞌ maꞌoh ufiaꞌw. Ama lala mosafel mafeꞌ mataga felefeleꞌma Jopa. Nogota atamba awin nandasapaꞌ Pita aꞌ nalota natoma ipat andoꞌ ilifa nondabeten.

aoj: Eaꞌ Konilias naꞌipa amam amamba wanom andeandeꞌma basef ifimba hiꞌalef, eaꞌ nasapaꞌam mafeꞌ wambel ambalemba Jopa.


eng: When the angel who spoke to him had departed, Cornelius called two of his household servants and a devout soldier of those who waited on him continually.

aoj: Aman anamba nape ipat anona Saimoni, anen nagandondomba agwafih bulmakaumi. Ipat ananitai totawa felefeleꞌma naoh gwafeꞌ gogotambela.”


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

aoj: Deiꞌ inaꞌ nesapaꞌ anom amam mofoꞌo Jopa mowandoꞌma anona aman agilinama Saimon agol waꞌagol Pita. Mofalana nifiꞌi.


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

aoj: Eaꞌ Konilias natolona, aꞌ ombel mahana aꞌowaꞌ naꞌi, “Dembinai, inaꞌ naꞌi main?” Eaꞌ ensel naꞌipana naꞌi, “God aꞌ nameꞌ beten ineꞌini eaꞌ, okom maꞌi waf inaꞌ nandaꞌafa nagasoꞌas moni mais nagatopalopa amam nematawa hiahawes akasi. Eaꞌ God ataꞌ okom mapomas atin sape.


eng: At about the ninth hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God coming to him and saying to him, “Cornelius!”

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

aoj: Anona aman nagape Sisariai agilinama Konilias, anen agilinai kepten nugumafi soldia 100-pelaimi. Amom miniꞌap soldia amamba sagaꞌi agol soldia Italimi.


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

aoj: Basef ifimba fafeꞌ anamba hiagoma wambel Jopa eaꞌ esis amam nematawa hiasi sameꞌef sahapifa Dembinai.


eng: He gave her his hand and raised her up. Calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.

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

aoj: Eaꞌ Pita nagaloꞌma esis amam nematawa sawisi andoꞌ, nindiwa nembawa notawa nandabeten. Eaꞌ nambema amaga ananigai gafeꞌma alop nemataꞌwi naꞌi, “Tabita, inaꞌ safel.” Eaꞌ akoꞌw naep pati kwati Pita, akosafel kwape.


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

aoj: Eaꞌ Pita nosafel nafeꞌ nalomam, eaꞌ mafeꞌ mataga mofaꞌana mafeꞌ rum amamba ilif akoꞌw kwagaꞌoma. Nematawa hiawai alifiwai wafiꞌi walutu felefeleꞌma Pita wape walef. Eaꞌ wihimbaꞌmana klos sagegw maim akoꞌw Dokas kwandaꞌmasami dokoꞌ ataꞌ kwape kwagalomawa.


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

aoj: Wambel Lida nape felefeleꞌ ma Jopa. Eaꞌ esis alipisi sagaila Jisasi sameꞌ basefa Pita nape Lida, sasapaꞌ amam biam mafeꞌma anen mahaliꞌana naꞌamba maꞌi, “Inaꞌ nifiꞌmai afaꞌ. Nigaꞌi otaꞌ otaꞌ owaꞌ.”

aoj: Nemaf afamba awasiꞌw aꞌ kwagaꞌ. Eaꞌ sasaꞌopa alop akwaꞌupi ma sogawaꞌw. Eaꞌ sofaꞌakw sambeꞌakw kwaꞌoh rum ilifami.


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

aoj: Anembel wambel Jopa anoꞌw nemataꞌw kwagaila Jisasi kwape, agol akwaꞌugili Tabita. Diga esis Griki sofalaꞌw saꞌi Dokas agol anin mafini saꞌi dia. Dondol lifilafi akoꞌw kwandaꞌ waf buꞌwafi ma kwagatopalopa esis amam nematawa kwahusi ma gwaꞌaisi mais.


eng: All who lived at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.

aoj: Eaꞌ epes hiasi walemb ambalemba bialemb Lidai Saron satolona sambema nelelemb safeꞌma Dembinai.


eng: Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed!” Immediately he arose.

aoj: Eaꞌ nati anona aman Inas. Alop bihitagof ananisi aꞌ sagaꞌana, tol naꞌoh nala alahis atis nape nogota laota afagof 8-pelaiguf.

aoj: Pita nafeꞌ walemb anamba hiagoma eaꞌ niliana nafeꞌ taun inimba Lida wapani nape naloma esis amam nematawa Godi sagape wambel ambalembai.


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

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

aoj: Aꞌi owaꞌ, Barnabas naoꞌwana mafeꞌma amom aposel owaꞌ naꞌipama Sol nagati Dembinai ufiaꞌw ma Dembinai nagasoꞌana basef anen. Eaꞌ Barnabas naꞌipam naꞌi anen nawalapa basef naꞌipasefa agol Jisasi banagambel Damaskus, deiꞌ anen ina ataꞌ ombel mahana, owaꞌ.

eng: Ananias departed and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”

aoj: Eaꞌ Ananaias nafeꞌ nawis ipat nomon nasa lagofa Sol naꞌi, “Sahome Sol, Dembinai Jisas natagamena ufiaꞌw nogota atamba inaꞌ nagafiꞌi naꞌaꞌe. Deiꞌ nasapaꞌe afiꞌmai inaꞌ aꞌ nigati andeandeꞌ wapani ma Ambal buꞌunai Godi nogape siꞌinama inaꞌ.”

aoj: Atiasi aeꞌ ihimbaꞌmana akafimi mamimami hiami moloma nimanimi ma nogawalapa agol aeꞌagili. Naꞌamba inaꞌ deiꞌ foꞌo netelona.”

aoj: Sol naꞌoh nandondoꞌah aꞌ nati anona aman agilinama Ananaias atiasi nifiꞌi nuwisi nowamona lagofa anona nondaꞌ naep pigati andeandeꞌ wapani.”


eng: The Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judah for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying,

eng: When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught Philip away, and the eunuch didn’t see him any more, for he went on his way rejoicing.

aoj: Eaꞌ amom biam makwaha walemb mandagiai wataꞌita, kwafalis atis Ambal buꞌunai Dembinaii nofaꞌ Filip aꞌ nafeꞌ. Eaꞌ aman anamba dembinai ina ataꞌ natolona wapani, aꞌowaꞌ, dolomana. Eaꞌ anen sonahana nandagala naila ufiaꞌw ananiꞌwi nafeꞌ.


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

aoj: Eaꞌ naꞌias a main, wilkar negetawai, Filip naloma aman anamba dembinai misilaꞌ mafeꞌ mowala walemb. Eaꞌ Filip napisiꞌana.


eng: As they went on the way, they came to some water; and the eunuch said, “Behold, here is water. What is keeping me from being baptized?”

aoj: Amam biam mafeꞌ, matagama anona dumb. Eaꞌ aman anama naꞌipa Filip naꞌi, “Niti dumb notah anama. Ineꞌ naꞌi aꞌe ma aeꞌ efaꞌ baptais?”


eng: And Philip said, If thou believest of all thine heart, it is leaveful, (or And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, it is lawful). And he answered, and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

aoj: [Eaꞌ Filip naꞌi, “Iꞌi inaꞌ nihapifana endilisi ma nembel ineꞌimbili, inaꞌ daoꞌ ila.” Eaꞌ nagwamana basef naꞌi, “Aeꞌ ahapifa Jisas Krais anen nogamana Godi.”]


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

aoj: Eaꞌ Filip naꞌi basef nawalapefa aman anamba. Nasumbai basef ifimba duꞌwanif Godi aman anamba nagaꞌiefi fafeꞌ fafeꞌ eaꞌ nawalapai basef buꞌwafi Jisasi.


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

aoj: Esis sapaꞌagana endilisi eaꞌ ina sandaꞌmana kota basef usiꞌifi, owaꞌ. Anen awasi akana ma anis sitilis soganifa basefas. Deiꞌ main, sahana nagaꞌ sagia ambal ananili ma ina ataꞌ nope itap wapani, aꞌowaꞌ.”


eng: Now the passage of the Scripture which he was reading was this, “He was led as a sheep to the slaughter. As a lamb before his shearer is silent, so he doesn’t open his mouth.

aoj: Basef ifimba duꞌwanif Godi anen nagatalififi fagaꞌiasa Jisas faꞌi, “Esis saoꞌwana nafeꞌ siꞌi sipsip ama saꞌi sohana nogagaꞌ. Anen siꞌi sipsip noganai esis sahapilana sagatopaꞌmana auf ananimi, anen ina nandaꞌam feꞌ atin naꞌoh, owaꞌatin. Eaꞌ naꞌamba atina aman anamba, ina malogol gagalana, owaꞌatin.


eng: He said, “How can I, unless someone explains it to me?” He begged Philip to come up and sit with him.

aoj: Eaꞌ aman anamba nagwa basef naꞌi, “Iꞌi anin epen owaꞌ nihimbaꞌmefa, deiꞌ egawa basef ifimba iꞌimama?” Eaꞌ naꞌipa Filip naꞌi, “Inaꞌ lotai netoma neloma aeꞌ.”


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

aoj: Eaꞌ Filip nasagih nafeꞌ felefeleꞌma anen, aꞌ nameꞌ aman anamba natalifa basef ifimba Aisaia nandaꞌafi. Eaꞌ Filip nahaliꞌana naꞌi, “Inaꞌ negawa basef ifimba kofagefa deiꞌ natalifif nagafiꞌii, aꞌa owaꞌ?”
