Acts 16
1 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.
Paulo nowuotho mochopo Derbe gi Lustra, kama japuonjre moro nodakie miluongo ni Timotheo. Min Timotheo ne ja-Yahudi moyie kuom Yesu, to wuon-gi ne ja-Yunani.
2 The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.
Owete man Lustra gi Ikonio ne wuoyo maber kuom Timotheo.
3 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.
Paulo ne dwaro kawe mondo dhi kode e wuodhe mar yalo Injili, omiyo ne otere nyangu, nikech jo-Yahudi mane odak kanyo nongʼeyo ni wuon-gi ne en ja-Yunani.
4 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.
Kane giwuotho e dala ka dala, neginyiso ji mondo oluw gima buch joote gi jodongo nongʼado Jerusalem.
5 So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
Omiyo kanisa nobedo motegno e yie, kendo kwan joma oyie kuom Kristo ne medore pile.
6 When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
Kaka Roho Maler nosegengʼogi ni kik giyal Injili e piny Asia, Paulo gi lange nowuotho e gwengʼ Frugia gi Galatia.
7 When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit didn’t allow them.
Kane gichopo e tongʼ piny Musia, ne gitemo mondo gidonj e piny Bithinia, to Roho mar Yesu ne ok oyienigi timo mano.
8 Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
Omiyo negidhi nyaka Troa, ka giluwo Musia.
9 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.”
Otienono, Paulo noneno fweny mar ja-Makedonia kochungʼ kendo saye niya, “Bi loka Makedonia mondo ikonywa.”
10 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.
Bangʼ kane Paulo oseneno fwenyno, ne waikore piyo piyo mondo wadhi e piny Makedonia, nikech ne wangʼeyo ni Nyasaye dwarowa loka kono mondo wayalnegi Injili.
11 Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
Bangʼ aa Troa, ne wakwangʼo yie kwachomo Samothraki kendo kinyne ne wadhi nyime nyaka Neapoli.
12 and from there to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the foremost of the district, a Roman colony. We were staying some days in this city.
Kane waa kanyo, ne wadhi nyaka Filipi, mane en dala maduongʼ e bath piny Makedonia ma kono, kendo joma odakie ne ni e bwo loch jo-Rumi. Kanyo ne wadakie kuom ndalo mogwarore.
13 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.
Chiengʼ Sabato ne wawuok oko mar dalano mi wachopo e dho aora, kuma ne waparo ni diwayudie kar lemo. Ne wabet piny kanyo mi wawuoyo gi mon moko mane oyudo osechokore kanyo.
14 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.
Achiel kuom joma nochiko itgi mowinjowa kwaloso ne en dhako moro moa Thuatira, ma nyinge Ludia, mane loko lewni makwar ma nengogi tek kendo noluoro Nyasaye. Ruoth noyawo chunye mondo orwak puonj Paulo.
15 When she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.” So she persuaded us.
Bangʼ kane osebatise, en kaachiel gi joode duto, norwakowa e ode kowacho niya, “Ka ukwana kaka ngʼat moyie kuom Ruoth Yesu, to biuru mondo ubed wenda.” Nomedo sayowa kamano mine wadhi!
16 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.
Chiengʼ moro kane wadhi kar lemo, nyako moro ma jatich e ot, kendo man-gi jachien marach mane omiyo en gi teko mar koro gik mabiro timore, noromo kodwa. Nyakono ne kelo ni ruodhi mage pesa mangʼeny, kohulo ni ji gik mabiro timogi.
17 Following Paul and us, she cried out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us a way of salvation!”
Kinde ka kinde ne oluwo bangʼ Paulo kod wan bende, kokok niya, “Jogi gin jotich Ruoth Nyasaye man Malo Moloyo, kendo ginyisou yor yudo warruok.”
18 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.
Notimo kamano kuom ndalo mogwarore, to achien Paulo nosin kode, mi nolokore ochiko jachiendno niya, “Achiki e nying Yesu Kristo ni aa kuome!” Jachiendno noa kuom nyakono mana gisano.
19 But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.
Kane ruodhi mag nyako ma jatichno oneno kaka ohandgi mane giyudogo pesa orumo, negimako Paulo gi Sila mi giywayogi oko nyaka chuny chiro mondo jotelo oyalgi.
20 When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men, being Jews, are agitating our city
Negiterogi e nyim jongʼad bura, mi giwacho niya, “Jogi gin jo-Yahudi, to gisekelo koko e dalawa-ka,
21 and advocate customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.”
ka gipuonjo ji mondo oluw timbe magalagala ma chikwa odagi mondo wan jo-Rumi wayiego kata waluw.”
22 The multitude rose up together against them and the magistrates tore their clothes from them, then commanded them to be beaten with rods.
Ji mane ni kanyo duto nonywako ni Paulo gi Sila ka gidonjonegi, omiyo jongʼad bura nochiko mondo olony lepgi mondo ochwadgi.
23 When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.
Kane osechwadgi marach, norwakgi e od twech mi omi jarit od twech chik mondo oritgi motegno.
24 Having received such a command, he threw them into the inner prison and secured their feet in the stocks.
Jarit od twech nokawo chikno matek mi noketogi ei od twech maiye, kotweyo tiendegi e kind lodi mag yien.
25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
To kar odiwuor tir, kane oyudo Paulo gi Sila jolemo kendo pako Nyasaye gi wende, ka joma otwe mamoko winjogi,
26 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.
piny noyiengni matek apoya nono, mi mise mag od twech noyiengni. Gikanyono dhoudi duto mag od twech noyawore kendgi, mi nyoroche mane otwego jotwech nogonyore duto.
27 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.
Ka jarit od twech nochiewo monwangʼo ka dhout od twech duto oyawore, nowuodho liganglane mondo onegrego, koparo ni joma otwe duto noseringo otony.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, “Don’t harm yourself, for we are all here!”
To Paulo nokok matek kawacho niya, “Kik ihinyri! Wantie waduto!”
29 He called for lights, sprang in, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,
Jarit od twech nokwayo taya, mi noringo ir Paulo gi Sila, mopodho e nyimgi kokirni.
30 brought them out, and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
Bangʼe nogologi oko eka openjogi niya, “Jodongo, atim angʼo mondo owara?”
31 They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
Negidwoke niya, “Yie kuom Ruoth Yesu eka nikwo, in kaachiel gi joodi.”
32 They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.
Eka ne gipuonje Wach Ruoth, kod ji duto mane ni e ode.
33 He took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.
E sa nogono mar otieno, jarit od twech nokawogi modhi olwokonegi adhondegi, bangʼe gikanyono nobatise, en kaachiel gi joode duto.
34 He brought them up into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly with all his household, having believed in God.
Eka jarit od twech noterogi e ode momiyogi chiemo. Joodno duto nopongʼ gi mor, nikech koro ne giseyie kuom Nyasaye.
35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, “Let those men go.”
Kane piny oyawore, jangʼad bura nooro askechene ir jarit od twech komiye chik niya, “Weuru jogo thuolo oa odhi.”
36 The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out and go in peace.”
Omiyo jarit od twech nowachone Paulo niya, “Jangʼad bura osegolo chik mondo ogonyu, in kaachiel gi Sila. Koro unyalo aa mondo udhi kendo dhiuru gi kwe.”
37 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!”
To Paulo nowachone askechego niya, “Ne gichwadowa e lela ka ok gikwongo giyalowa, mi giterowa e od twech kata obedo ni wan jo-Rumi. To koro sani gidwaro golowa e od twech nangʼo lingʼ-lingʼ? Ooyo, gibi abiya mondo gin giwegi ema gigolwa.”
38 The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,
Askechego nodwoko wachno ni jongʼad bura, to kane giwinjo ni Paulo gi Sila ne gin jo-Rumi, luoro nomakogi.
39 and they came and begged them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.
Negibiro mi giywagore nigi, eka ne gigologi oko e od twech, ka gisayogi mondo gia e dalano.
40 They went out of the prison and entered into Lydia’s house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, then departed.
Kane Paulo gi Sila osewuok e od twech, negidhi od Ludia, kendo kuno ne girome gi jowete mi gijiwogi. Bangʼe negia gidhi.
