Katwa Nono Katwa 11
1 Nen, niono kadura, nan nuana, alenge na iwa di nanyan Yahudiya lanza alumai tutun nsere uliru Kutelle.
The apostles and the followers throughout Judea heard that even the Gentiles had welcomed God’s message.
2 Kubi na Bitrus ndaa Urushalima, inung alenge na idi anan kallu kucuru sughe kayasu;
But, when Peter went up to Jerusalem, those who were converts from Judaism began to attack him,
3 Iworo “Fe dinsu ligo nin na nan salin kalizu kucuru, umini din su kileo nanghinu!”
on the ground that he had visited people who were not circumcised, and had taken meals with them.
4 Ame Bitrus cizina ubellu nani nimon inda na idi, a woro.
So Peter began to relate the facts to them as they had occurred.
5 Meng wadi nlirang nanya kagbiri Njoppa, nta amoro nwui nbellen kukuzun na kuwa tollu, nafo kupee kupash, itoltuna unuzu kitene kani, nin nasari anas, ku da tolo kiti nighe.
“I was in the town of Joppa,” he said, “and was praying; and, while in a trance, I saw a vision. There was something like a great sail descending, let down by its four corners out of the heavens; and it came right down to me.
6 nceo iyizi nighe ku, nkpiliza kitene, nyene inawa nabunu anas kutyin, inawa ididia kusho, in wunnu naburi, nan nanyin kitene kani.
Looking intently at it, I began to distinguish quadrupeds, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds;
7 Nnin lanzu liwui li woroiyi “Fita Bitrus, mollo ulii!”
and I also heard a voice saying to me – ‘Stand up, Peter, kill something and eat.’
8 Meng woro na nanere ba, Cikilari, bara na imomon nsalin lau sa indinong nsa pira unnu ninghe ba.”
‘No, Lord, I cannot,’ I answered, ‘for nothing defiled or unclean has ever passed my lips.’
9 Ama liwuiye kawa tutun unuzu kitene kane, “Ile imon na Kutelle nbelle idi lau, nafe nwa yiccila inin indinong ba.
Then a second time there came a voice from the heavens. ‘What God has pronounced clean’, it said, ‘you must not call defiled.’
10 Ile imone wasu nani udu titat, nin nani vat nimone iwa kpilin mun udu kitene kane tutung.
This happened three times, and then all was drawn up again into the heavens.
11 Na nin molu kubi ba, kikane among anit natat, wa yisssin nbun kilare na nwa duku, itoo nani unuzun Kaisariya udak kiti ninghe.
At that moment three men, who had been sent from Caesarea to see me, came up to the house in which we were.
12 Uruhu tayi nnya nanghinu, na nwa su maferuferu kiti mine ba. Nuana nane kutoci ne nya nanmi, udu nanya kilari nniti une.
The Spirit told me to go with them without hesitation. These six companions also went with me. And, when we came into the man’s house,
13 A belle nari yanda na ayene anan kadura Kutelle nanya kilari me, inin woro “Too anit udu Ujoppa idanin Bitrus ulenge na idin yiccughe Simon.
he told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and how the angel had said to him – ‘Send to Joppa and fetch the Simon, who is also known as Peter;
14 Ame ma liru nanghinu nbellen kadura kanga na ubase utucufe nin vat kilari fe.”
for he will tell you truths, which will prove the means of salvation to you and all your household.’
15 Na ncizina uliru nanghinu, Uruhu ulau tolo kitene mine nafo na uwa tolu nghireke nin cizinue.
I had but just begun to speak,” continued Peter, “when the Holy Spirit fell on them, exactly as on us at the first;
16 Meng lizuno nin lirun Cikilari, na awa woro, “Yuhana ame wa shintizin anit nin nmyen; ama anung ima shintizunu minu nanya Ruhu ulau.”
and I recalled the saying of the Master – ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
17 Andi Kutelle wa ni nani ufillu nafo na ana ninari kube nati wa yinnin nin Cikilari Yesu Kristi, menghari wadi nworu in yissin gambalang nin Kutelle?”
Since then, God had given them the very same gift as he gave us when we became believers in Jesus Christ the Master – who was I that I could thwart God?”
18 Na ilanza ile imone, na itardaghe uliru ba, iwana zazin Kutelleri, iworo, “Kutelle nani Awurmi likara nsunu naliapi wang.”
On hearing this statement, they said no more, but broke out into praise of God. “So even to the Gentiles,” they exclaimed, “God has granted the repentance which leads to life!”
19 Bara nani anan yinnue na iwa sono uniu ulenge na uwa cizin kubin Istifanus wati nani imala kiti vat unuzun Urushalima-alenge na inya ido pit udi duru Ufinikiya. Iwa bellu ubeleng nlirun Yesu kiti na Yahudawari cas, ana umon tutung ba.
Now those who had been scattered in different directions, in consequence of the persecution that followed the death of Stephen, went as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, telling the message – but only to Jews.
20 Ama among anit, unuzun Saipirus nin Serene, wadak Antakiya ida su a Hilinawa nin wazin Ciklari Yesu.
Some of them, however, who were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, on coming to Antioch, addressed themselves also to the Jews of foreign birth, telling them the good news about that Lord Jesus.
21 Tutung ucaran Cikilari wayita ligowe nanghinu; anit gbardang gitirno iyinna idofino Cikilare ku.
The power of the Lord was with them, so that a great number who had learned to believe came over to the Lord’s side.
22 Ubelleng mine da duru atuf nanan kilarin lira in Urushalima; inani wa tuu Barnabas ku udu Antakiya.
The news about them reached the ears of the church at Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.
23 Na awa dak ada yene ufillu Kutelle, ayi poaghe; anin na nani likara nibinayi nworu iso ligowe nanyan Cikilare nin nibinayi mine vat.
On coming there he saw to his great joy these tokens of the loving kindness of God, and encouraged them all to make up their minds to be faithful to the Lord –
24 Bara awadi unit ugegeme nin Ruhu ulau a uyinnu sa uyenu ni Yesu, iwase ukpinu nanit gbardang kitin Cikilare.
For Barnabas was a good man and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith – and a large number of people took their stand on the Lord’s side.
25 Barnabas tunna anuzu udun Tarsus adi pizuru Shawulu ku.
Afterward Barnabas left for Tarsus to look for Saul;
26 Na awa seghe, amini wa dak ninghe Antakiya. Uni waso nafo nenge, nanya likus iwa sozo ligowe kilari nlira idursuzo anit gbardang. Iwa cizin uyicu nnono kadure anan dortu Kutelle in Antakiyari.
and, when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And so it came about that, for a whole year, they attended the meetings of the church there, and taught a large number of people; and it was in Antioch that the disciples were first called ‘Christians.’
27 Nanya nayiri ane among a Anabawa wa dak Antakiya unuzun Urushalima.
During this time, some prophets came to Antioch from Jerusalem.
28 Umong mine unan lissan Agabus, fita ayissina a durso nnuzun Ruhu a woro kukpong kudya ma malu uyii ulele vat. Ile imone wase nayirin Kiladiyus.
One of them, named Agabus, came forward and, under the influence of the Spirit, foretold a great famine that was to spread over all the world – a famine which occurred in the reign of Claudius.
29 Bara nani, nono Katwawe tunna iworo ituu nin bunu udu kiti linuana in Yahudiya, nafo na kogha ma yinnu.
So the disciples, without exception, determined, in proportion to their means, to send something to help the followers living in Judea.
30 Iwa su nani; itoo nin nikurfung kiti na kukune nacaran Barnabas nin Shawulu.
And this they did, sending it to the church elders by Barnabas and Saul.
