Acts 13 (LUO) · Opened

1Kanisa mane ni Antiokia notingʼo jonabi gi jopuonj. Ne gin Barnaba gi Simeon miluongo ni Ratengʼ, gi Lukio ja-Kurene, gi Saulo kod Manaen mane odongo gi Herode ma ruoth.Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch), and Saul.

2Kane oyudo gilamo Ruoth Nyasaye kendo gitweyo chiemo, Roho Maler nowachonegi niya, “Walnauru Barnaba gi Saulo mondo gitina tich mane aluongogi mondo giti.”While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”

3Omiyo kane gimedo lemo kendo gitweyo chiemo, ne gigwedhogi mi giweyogi gidhi.And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid their hands on them and sent them off.

4Ji ariyogo nowuok modhi ka Roho Maler otelonegi. Ne gilor nyaka Seleukia, bangʼe gikwangʼ ka gia kanyo nyaka Saipras.So Barnabas and Saul, sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and sailed from there to Cyprus.

5Kane gichopo Salamis, ne giyalo Wach Nyasaye e sinagoke mag jo-Yahudi. Johana ne ni kodgi kaka jakonygi.When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. And John was with them as their helper.

6Ne giwuotho e chulano duto mi gichopo Pafo, kendo kanyo ne giyude ja-Yahudi moro ma ajwoga kendo mane wuondore ni janabi, ma nyinge Bar-Yesu.They traveled through the whole island as far as Paphos, where they found a Jewish sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus,

7Ajuogani ne otwere but ruodh chulano miluongo ni Sergio Paulo, mane en ngʼat mariek, kendo kaka nodwaro winjo Wach Nyasaye, nooro wach mondo oluongne Barnaba gi Saulo.an attendant of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus. The proconsul, a man of intelligence, summoned Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the word of God.

8To ajuogano mane iluongo ni Elima (nikech mano e tiend nyinge) notamogi, kotemo gengʼo ruoth mondo kik olokre oyie kuom Yesu.But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith.

9Eka Saulo, ma bende niluongo ni Paulo, nopongʼ gi Roho Maler, mi nongʼiyo wangʼ Elima tir, bangʼe owachone niya,Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked directly at Elymas

10“In nyathi Satan, kendo ikedo gi gik mabeyo duto! Ipongʼ gi kit wuondruok duto gi yore mag wito ji. Iniwe timni mar loko adiera Ruoth Nyasaye doko miriambo karangʼo?and said, “O child of the devil and enemy of all righteousness, you are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery! Will you never stop perverting the straight ways of the Lord?

11To winji, lwet Ruoth Nyasaye koro kedo kodi. Ibiro bedo muofu, kendo kuom kinde moromo ok ibi neno ler mar chiengʼ gi wangʼi.” Gikanyono mudho mandiwa nobiro moimo wangʼe, mi nochako tangni komulo gik moko gi lwete ka gi kacha, mondo oyudie ngʼato mane nyalo mako bade kataye.Now look, the hand of the Lord is against you, and for a time you will be blind and unable to see the light of the sun.” Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand.

12Kane ruodhno oneno gima notimoreno, noyie kuom Yesu, kendo nohum nono kuom gik mane owinjo kuom Ruoth Yesu.When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for he was astonished at the teaching about the Lord.

13Paulo kod joma ne en-go ne oa Pafo mi okwangʼ nyaka Perga, e piny Pamfilia, kendo kanyo ema Johana noweyogie modok Jerusalem.After setting sail from Paphos, Paul and his companions came to Perga in Pamphylia, where John left them to return to Jerusalem.

14Kane gia Perga, to negimedo dhi nyaka negichopo Antiokia manie piny Pisidia. Chiengʼ Sabato negidonjo e sinagogi mi gibet piny.And from Perga, they traveled inland to Pisidian Antioch, where they entered the synagogue on the Sabbath and sat down.

15To bangʼ kane osesom Ndiko moko mowuok e Chike Musa gi Jonabi, jotend sinagogi nooro wach ni Paulo gi joma ne en-go kagiwacho niya, “Owetewa, ka un gi wach ma udwaro jiwogo ji, to un thuolo mar timo mano.”After the reading from the Law and the Prophets, the synagogue leaders sent word to them: “Brothers, if you have a word of encouragement for the people, please speak.”

16Kuom mano, Paulo nochungʼ motingʼo bade, kowacho niya, “Un jo-Israel kod joma ok jo-Yahudi moluoro Nyasaye, winjauru!Paul stood up, motioned with his hand, and began to speak: “Men of Israel and you Gentiles who fear God, listen to me!

17Nyasach jo-Israel noyiero kwerewa kendo nomiyo ginyaa e thuolo mane gidak Misri. Nyasaye notelonigi kagologi Misri kuno gi tekone maduongʼ;The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers. He made them into a great people during their stay in Egypt, and with an uplifted arm He led them out of that land.

18kendo nonano kodgi e thim kuom higni piero angʼwen, kata obedo ni timbegi ne richo kamano.He endured their conduct for about forty years in the wilderness.

19Nokedo gi pinje abiriyo mag jo-Kanaan moloyogi, mi opogo lopgi ni joge kaka girkeni.And having vanquished seven nations in Canaan, He gave their land to His people as an inheritance.

20Magi duto nokawo higni madirom mia angʼwen gi piero abich. “Bangʼ mano, Nyasaye nomiyogi jongʼad bura mane oritogi nyaka kinde mag Samuel janabi.All this took about 450 years. After this, God gave them judges until the time of Samuel the prophet.

21To achien jo-Israel nokwayo mondo omigi ruoth, mi Nyasaye nomiyogi Saulo wuod Kish, ma ja-dhood Benjamin. Saulo nobedo ruodh pinyno kuom higni piero angʼwen.Then the people asked for a king, and God gave them Saul son of Kish, from the tribe of Benjamin, who ruled forty years.

22Bangʼ kane osegolo Saulo e ruoth, noketo Daudi obedo ruodhgi, kendo kuom Daudi ema ne Nyasaye owuoyoe kowacho ni, ‘Aseyudo Daudi wuod Jesse, ngʼat ma chunye chal gi mara, obiro timo gik moko duto ma adwaro mondo otim.’After removing Saul, He raised up David as their king and testified about him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse a man after My own heart; he will carry out My will in its entirety.’

23“Nyasaye osekelo ni jo-Israel Jawar ma en Yesu, koa e koth Daudi, mana kaka nosingore ni notim.From the descendants of this man, God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as He promised.

24Kapok ne Yesu obiro, Johana noyalo Injili ne jo-Israel duto mondo gilokre giwe richogi kendo giduto giyud batiso.Before the arrival of Jesus, John preached a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

25Kane oyudo Johana koro tieko tije, nowacho ni, ‘Uparo ni an ngʼa? Ok an Jal mane ugeno ni biro biro; to winjuru Jal moro biro bangʼa, kendo ok awinjora gonyo tond wuochene.’As John was completing his course, he said, ‘Who do you suppose I am? I am not that One. But there is One coming after me whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.’

26“Owetena, ma nyikwa Ibrahim, kod un joma ok jo-Yahudi moluoro Nyasaye, wan ema oseornwa wach warruokni.Brothers, children of Abraham, and you Gentiles who fear God, it is to us that this message of salvation has been sent.

27Jo-Jerusalem gi jotendgi ne ok ongʼeyo ni Yesu e Jawar, to kata kamano, kane gingʼadone buch tho, to negichopo mana weche jonabi misomo pile chiengʼ Sabato.The people of Jerusalem and their rulers did not recognize Jesus, yet in condemning Him they fulfilled the words of the prophets that are read every Sabbath.

28Kata obedo ni ne ok giyudo ketho moro kuome ma dine mi nege, ne gikwayo Pilato mondo ochiwe mondo onege.And though they found no ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have Him executed.

29Kane gisechopo weche duto mondiki kuome, ne gigole ewi yath mi gikete e liel.When they had carried out all that was written about Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb.

30To Nyasaye nochiere oa kuom joma otho,But God raised Him from the dead,

31kendo kuom ndalo mangʼeny, joma ne wuotho kode koa Galili nyaka Jerusalem nonene. Jogo ema koro odoko joneno mag wechegi ni jowa.and for many days He was seen by those who had accompanied Him from Galilee to Jerusalem. They are now His witnesses to our people.

32“Injili ma wanyisou ema: Gima Nyasaye nosingo ne kwerewaAnd now we proclaim to you the good news: What God promised our fathers

33osechoponwa, wan nyithindgi, kuom chiero Yesu. Mana kaka ondiki e Zaburi mar ariyo niya, “ ‘In Wuoda; kawuono asedoko Wuonu.’He has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm: ‘You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.’

34To kuom chier mane Nyasaye ochierego oa kuom joma otho, mondo kik otow, to ondikie kama: “ ‘Anamiu gweth maler kendo madier, mane asingone Daudi.’In fact, God raised Him from the dead, never to see decay. As He has said: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.’

35Kamoro machielo bende ondikie kama: “ ‘Ok niyie Ngʼati Maler tow.’So also, He says in another Psalm: ‘You will not let Your Holy One see decay.’

36“Nimar kane Daudi osetimo dwaro Nyasaye e ndalone, to notho moike kama noyike kwerene, mi ringre notowo,For when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep. His body was buried with his fathers and saw decay.

37to Jal ma Nyasaye nochiero oa kuom joma otho to ringre ne ok otowo.But the One whom God raised from the dead did not see decay.

38“Emomiyo, adwaro mondo ungʼe malongʼo, owetena, ni kuom Yesu ema iyalonue yor weyo richo.Therefore let it be known to you, brothers, that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.

39Kuome ema ngʼato angʼata moyie iketo kare mi gony kuom gimoro amora ma Chik Musa ne ok nyal gonyoe ngʼato.Through Him everyone who believes is justified from everything from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

40Omiyo tangʼuru, mondo gik mane jonabi okoro kik timrenu. Ne gikoro niya:Watch out, then, that what was spoken by the prophets does not happen to you:

41“ ‘Neuru, un joma obwono ji-gi, beduru morwenyo nyaka thou, nimar abiro timo gimoro e ndalou ma ok ubi yiego, kata ka ngʼato oleronu tiende.’”‘Look, you scoffers, wonder and perish! For I am doing a work in your days that you would never believe, even if someone told you.’”

42Kane oyudo Paulo gi Barnaba wuok e sinagogi, ji nokwayogi mondo gimed loso kuom wechegi chiengʼ Sabato moluwo mano.As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people urged them to continue this message on the next Sabbath.

43To ka nosegony chokruok mondo odhiyo, jo-Yahudi mangʼeny gi ji ma nolokore oluwo din jo-Yahudi noluwo Paulo gi Barnaba, kendo negimedo wuoyo kodgi ka gijiwogi mondo gimed dhi nyime e ngʼwono mar Nyasaye.After the synagogue was dismissed, many of the Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them and urged them to continue in the grace of God.

44Chiengʼ Sabato moluwo mano, chiegni ji duto modak Antiokia nochokore mondo owinj wach Ruoth.On the following Sabbath, nearly the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.

45To ka jo-Yahudi noneno ogandano, nyiego nomakogi mi gichako wuoyo marach kuom gik mane Paulo wacho.But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and they blasphemously contradicted what Paul was saying.

46Eka Paulo gi Barnaba nomedo wuoyo gi chir kagiwacho niya, “Ne bernwa mondo un ema wayalnu Wach Nyasaye mokwongo. To nikech udage kendo nikech ok ukwanoru ka joma owinjore yudo ngima mochwere, koro waweyou mondo wayal wachni ni joma ok jo-Yahudi.Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: “It was necessary to speak the word of God to you first. But since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles.

47Ruoth Nyasaye osemiyowa chik niya, “ ‘Asemiyo udoko ler ne Ogendini, mondo uland warruok e tunge piny duto.’”For this is what the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have made you a light for the Gentiles, to bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’”

48Kane joma ok jo-Yahudi owinjo wachno, negimor kendo negirwako wach Ruoth Nyasaye, kendo joma nochan-negi yudo ngima mochwere noyie kuom Yesu.When the Gentiles heard this, they rejoiced and glorified the word of the Lord, and all who were appointed for eternal life believed.

49Wach Ruoth Nyasaye nolandore e gwengʼno duto.And the word of the Lord spread throughout that region.

50To jo-Yahudi nokelo mirima e chuny mon moluoro Nyasaye man-gi nying kod joma chwo midewo mane odak e dalano. Jogi nothuwo ji mondo osand Paulo gi Barnaba, kendo negiriembogi e gwengʼno.The Jews, however, incited the religious women of prominence and the leading men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas and drove them out of their district.

51Kuom mano ne gitengʼo buch tiendgi ka gikwedo timgi eka negidhi Ikonio.So they shook the dust off their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.

52Jopuonjre mane ni Antiokia nodongʼ kopongʼ gi mor kod Roho Maler.And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
