Katwa Nono Katwa 13

1 Nene nanya ligozi na kagbirin Antakiya, anan liru nin nnu Kutelle nin nanan dursuzu yita ku. Tisa mine wa di Barnaba, Simeon (na iwa yicughe Niger), Lukiyus unitin Karita, Manain (unan liwalin gwanan Hiridus kukune me), nin Shawulu.

Now there were certain prophets and teachers in the church that was at Antioch; Barnabas, and Simeon, who is called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, who was brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

2 Kube na ndin zazinu Kutelle nin sun kotu nayi, Uruhu Ulau woro, “Feren ni Barnabas ku nin Shawulu, isu katwa kanga na nna yicila nani bara kanin.”

And while they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said: Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul, to the work to which I have called them.

3 Na ligozen mmala ukotu nayi nin lira, i wunno nani likoot inin tarrda nani acara.

Then, after they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

4 Ame Barnabas nin Shawulu suu ubiyayya nin Ruhu Ulau itunna i nyi udu kusarin kilikiya; unuzu kikane idi tunun udu nlong lidan nanya kurawan kubrus.

Therefore, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and thence sailed to Cyprus.

5 Kubi na iwa di nanya kagbir salamis, ibelle uliru Kutelle nanya kutyi nlirag, na Yahudawa, inung tutun yita nan Yohanna Markus nafo unan buunu mine.

And while they were in Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogue of the Jews; and they had John as their attendant.

6 Kubi na inya udu vat lidan kiyitik nmyen, udu Bafusa, idi se umong unan nizu tikanlang, ku Yahudawa, unan su kinu nin nnu Kutelle, ulenge na lisa me Bar Yesu.

And having gone through the island as far as Paphos, they found a certain magician, a Jewish false prophet, whose name was Bar-jesus;

7 Unan nizu tikankane munu liti min mukadas, Sargis, nin Bulus unit ujinjin, unit une wasu manyardang nin Barnabas a Bulus, bara adinin su alanzauliru Kutelle.

and he was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, who was a man of intelligence. This man called for Barnabas and Saul, and expressed an earnest wish to hear the word of God.

8 Ame Alima unan “nizu tikankang” (nanere lisa me di) asu ivira nanghinu, asa likum nworu a kpiliya Sarijiyus ku nanya nyinnu sa uyenu me.

But the magician Elymas (for this is his name, when translated) withstood them, desiring to turn away the proconsul from the faith.

9 Ame Shawulu, ulenge na idin yicu Bulus, awa kullun nin Ruhu Ulau a borioghe iyizi

Then Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, and looking earnestly upon him,

10 anin woro, “Fe gono shaitan, ukulun nin kinu a karusuzo, nin magunta, fe unan nivira nin vat ko iiyeme imon icine, na uba sunu ukpilizu nimon idert in Cikilari ba sa iba sunu?

said: O full of all deceit and all wickedness, child of the devil, enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

11 Nene yene ucara Cikilari di kitene fe, uba da lawu uduu. na iba yenu uwui ba nin kubi baat.” Dedei luwutun nin nsirti, a cizina kiti, intiri nanut ikifo ghe ucara.

And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness, and he went about and sought some to lead him by the hand.

12 Kubi na ame Sarjisu nyene ile imon na idi, ame yinna, bara awa kifo unuu nin ndursuzu kitene Cikilari.

Then the proconsul, seeing what was done, believed, being amazed at the teaching of the Lord.

13 Nene Bulus nan nadondon me, kaffina unuzu Bafus udu Perga nanya Pamfiliya, ame Yohanna suuna nai a kpila Urushelima.

And Paul and his companions put to sea from Paphos, and went to Perga in Pamphylia. But John withdrew from them, and returned to Jerusalem.

14 Bulus nan nadondon me, cinna unuzu Bafos udak Antakiya Nbisidiya. Kikane inya udu kutyi nlirag liyiri nassabar idi soo kikane.

But having passed through from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia; and on the sabbath-day they went into the synagogue, and sat down.

15 Kubi na ibelle inyerte nduka, nin na nan nliru nin nnu Kutelle, udia kutyi nlirag too nani nin kadura a woro, “Linuana, andi idinin nkan kadura, kan kpinu nagang kiti nanite kikane, bellen kanin.”

After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying: Brethren, if you have a word of exhortation for the people, speak.

16 Bara Bulus fita ayisina a zillino liti me, a woro, “Annit Israila nin nalenge na idin zazinu Kutelle, lanzan.

Then Paul arose, and waving his hand, said: Men of Israel, and you who fear God, give audience.

17 Kutelle nanit ale Israila wa feer acif bite ata nani anit gbardang, kubi na iwa so nmyin masar, nin nacara nakara awa nutun nani kitee.

The God of this people chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they sojourned in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm he brought them out from it.

18 Udu akus akut anas, ayita nanghinu nanya kusho.

And for about forty years, he cherished them in the wilderness.

19 Kubi na awa mallu nin nipin kuzor, nanyan nmyin kaana, anaa anit bite nmyin mine miso nani ugadu.

And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land among them by lot.

20 Vat nile imone iwasu inin ukatu nakus akalt anas nin nakut ataun, kubi nile imone vat, Kutelle na nani unan wucu kidegen udu Samaila unan nliru nin nnu Kutelle.

And after that he gave them judges, for about four hundred and fifty years, till Samuel the prophet.

21 Mammal nilele, anite tirino ini nani ugo, Kutelle na nani Saul ku usaun kish, unit unuzu likuran Banyami, bara kubi nakus akut annas.

And afterward they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

22 Na kutelle nkalaghe nanya nanan tigo, a yauna Dauda ku aso nani ugo, uwaso kitene Dauda kutelle wa woro, 'Nnase Dauda usaun Jesse aso unit nayi nighe; aba su vat nile imon na ndinin su we.'

And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; to whom he gave this testimony: I have found David the son of Jesse a man after my own heart, who will do all my will.

23 Unuzu kuwunu nnit ule Kutelle ba da ni nonon Israila ku unan tucu, Yesu nafo na anusu alikawali nsu we.

From the posterity of this man, God, according to his promise, raised up for Israel a Savior, Jesus;

24 Uleli imone wa cizin kube, kamin Yesu dak, Yohanna wa cizin ubellun nshimtinnu ndiu kutyin, udu kiti nanit Israila vat.

John having first preached, before his coming, the immersion of repentance to all the people of Israel.

25 Na Yohanna wadi malizunu katuwa me, aworo, 'Anung din su meng ghari? Na mere ba, ama lanzan, umong din cinu udak kidung nighe, akwatak nabunu me na meng batin nbunku ba.'

And as John was finishing his course, he said: Who do you suppose that I am? I am not he; but behold, there is coming after me one, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.

26 Linuana, nono nanya kuwunu Ibrahim, nin nanya mine na idin dortu Kutelle, kiti bitere, kadura nbellen nnan tucu iwa tuu nari mun.

Brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.

27 Bara inughe na iwa sosin nanyan Urushelima nan nago mine, na iwa yinin ghe ba, sa iyinin tiwui nanan nliru nnu Kutelle na isa ibelle ko ayeme assabar, ina ni na Kullo ubellu we, kadure nti Yesu unan kul.

For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know him, nor the words of the prophets, which are read every sabbath-day, have fulfilled them in condemning him.

28 Vat nani na iwase imomon icaut kiti me nworu akuu ba, itirino Bilatus ku nworu amollu ghe.

And though they found no cause of death, yet they demanded of Pilate that he should be slain.

29 Kubi na imala vat nile imon na ina nyertu liti me itoltunghe kitene kutca, inonko ghe nanya kissek.

And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulcher.

30 Amma Kutelle wa fya ghe nanya na nan kul.

But God raised him from the dead.

31 Anit gbardang wa yenje ghe nanya nayiri gbardang na lenge na i di ligowe nan ghe na i wa nuzun Galile ne indu Urushelima. Anit alelere iyizi naba me kiti nanite.

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.

32 Bara nani ti da minu nin liru unang imbeleng nciu nnuu ulenge na iwa su an kaa bite unin uworsu:

And we preach to you good news concerning the promise made to our fathers,

33 Kutelle na ceo nari uciu nlirne, arik nono mine, nworu Kutelle wa fya Yesu ku kisssek.

that God has fulfilled the same to us, their children, by raising up Jesus, as it is written in the second Psalm: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

34 Ununu kidegen nworu ana fya ghe nanya na nan kul bara kidowo me wa yene ubiju, amini wa su uliru nenge, 'Mma nifi nkoli milau in nanda milau.'

But that he raised him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: I will give you the sure mercies of David.

35 Unnare nati ana kuru abelle nan nya namong avu tutung: 'Na una yinnu unit ulau fe a yene ubiju ba.'

For which reason he says also in another Psalm: Thou wilt not suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.

36 Bara na kimal na Dauda wa su Kutelle katwa kubi kiyi mine gegeme kanin aku. iwa aoroghe nin na cif me, amini wa biju,

For David, after serving the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep, and was laid with his fathers, and saw corruption.

37 amma ame ulenge na Kutelle wa fya Kissek na awa yene ubiju ba.

But he whom God raised up did not see corruption.

38 Linuana na iyinnin ilele, unuzu nlele ina sun nari unuu nbeleng nkussu nalapi.

Be it known to you, therefore, brethren, that through this man is preached to you the remission of sins:

39 Bara ame vat ule na ayinni ma se usurtu nan nye vat ule na ti tisse usurtu mun ba.

and by him, every one that believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

40 Bara ceon nibinai kiti kirum bara imon ile na a annabawa na belin kitene i wa minu ba.

Take heed, therefore, lest that which is spoken in the prophets come upon you:

41 Yeneng, anung anan nanzu nimon nafi fiu kifo minu inana. Bara meng din su katwa nayiri mine, Katwaa kango na ima yinnu mun ba andi ma umong ma belin minu ubeleng kanin.'”

Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish. For I work a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, though one fully declare it to you.

42 Na Bulus nin Barnabas nnyaa, anite fo nani acara nworu ikuru ida belu nani uliru urum une Asabar ncin dak.

And as they were departing from the synagogue, they were requested to speak these things to them on the next sabbath.

43 Na uzuru kilari nlire nmala, Ayahudawa gbardang nin namon anan salin dortu Kutelle dofino Bulus ku nin Barnabas, alenge na iwa su nani uliru i woro nani ili ubun nin cin nan nya nbolu Kutelle.

Now, after the congregation was dismissed, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them, and persuaded them to continue faithful to the grace of God.

44 Assabar nda duru anan kagbiri vat da zuro inan lanza uliru Ncikilari.

And on the next sabbath-day, almost the whole city met together to hear the word of God.

45 Na Ayahudawa in yene ligozi nanite, ikulo nin shina isu uliru uganbalang nin nilenge na Bulus nbelle izoguzo ghe.

But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spoke against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and reviling.

46 Amma Bulus nin Barnabas su uliru nin nayi akone i woro, “Uso gbas i cizin ubelu anughe ku uliru Kutelle. Na iyene nworu anung nfillo unin ina nin yira ati mine na ucaun ise ulai nsa ligan ba, yeneng, tima kpillu kiti na wurmi. (aiōnios g166)

But Paul and Barnabas, speaking boldly, said: It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first: but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo! we turn to tho Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)

47 Bara nanere Cikilari na bellin nari, aworo, 'Nna ceo minu nafo nkanan ucin du kiti na wurmi, nworo adak nin adak nin tucu nan nyan vat niti nan nya in yii vat'”

For thus has the Lord given us commandment: I have placed thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be for salvation to the most distant part of the earth.

48 Na Awurme nlanza nani, ilanza mmang kang izazina lissa Ncikilari. Ngbardang nalenge na ina fere nani bara ulai nsa ligang wa yinnin. (aiōnios g166)

When the Gentiles heard this they rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord; and as many as were determined to obtain eternal life, believed. (aiōnios g166)

49 Uliru Kutelle wa malu kiti vat nan nya nmine.

And the word of the Lord was published throughout the whole of that region.

50 Amma Ayahudawa su ubeleng nawani anan ni nati alenge na idi nin nimon icine. Ileli imon ta nworu ipiziru umonlun Bulus ku nin Barnabas iko nani inutuno nani unuzu kipin mine.

But the Jews in cited the devout and influential women, and the first men of the city, and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their borders.

51 Amma Bulus nin Barnabas kotuno lidau nabunu mine liso nati mine. Inya ucindu kipin Ikoniya.

But they shook off the dust from their feet against them, and went to Iconium.

52 Nono kadura wa kulo nin nayi abo a Uruhu Ulau.

And the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.
