Katwa Nono Katwa 11

1 Nen, niono kadura, nan nuana, alenge na iwa di nanyan Yahudiya lanza alumai tutun nsere uliru Kutelle.

Now the Apostles and brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the Word of God.

2 Kubi na Bitrus ndaa Urushalima, inung alenge na idi anan kallu kucuru sughe kayasu;

Then, when Peter had gone up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision argued against him,

3 Iworo “Fe dinsu ligo nin na nan salin kalizu kucuru, umini din su kileo nanghinu!”

saying, “Why did you enter to uncircumcised men, and why did you eat with them?”

4 Ame Bitrus cizina ubellu nani nimon inda na idi, a woro.

And Peter began to explain to them, in an orderly manner, saying:

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 city of Joppa praying, and I saw, in an ecstasy of mind, a vision: a certain container descending, like a great linen sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners. And it drew near to me.

6 nceo iyizi nighe ku, nkpiliza kitene, nyene inawa nabunu anas kutyin, inawa ididia kusho, in wunnu naburi, nan nanyin kitene kani.

And looking into it, I considered and saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the reptiles, and the flying things of the air.

7 Nnin lanzu liwui li woroiyi “Fita Bitrus, mollo ulii!”

Then I also heard a voice saying to me: ‘Rise up, Peter. Kill and eat.’

8 Meng woro na nanere ba, Cikilari, bara na imomon nsalin lau sa indinong nsa pira unnu ninghe ba.”

But I said: ‘Never, lord! For what is common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.’

9 Ama liwuiye kawa tutun unuzu kitene kane, “Ile imon na Kutelle nbelle idi lau, nafe nwa yiccila inin indinong ba.

Then the voice responded a second time from heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, you shall not call common.’

10 Ile imone wasu nani udu titat, nin nani vat nimone iwa kpilin mun udu kitene kane tutung.

Now this was done three times. And then everything was taken up again into heaven.

11 Na nin molu kubi ba, kikane among anit natat, wa yisssin nbun kilare na nwa duku, itoo nani unuzun Kaisariya udak kiti ninghe.

And behold, immediately there were three men standing near the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea.

12 Uruhu tayi nnya nanghinu, na nwa su maferuferu kiti mine ba. Nuana nane kutoci ne nya nanmi, udu nanya kilari nniti une.

Then the Spirit told me that I should go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brothers went with me also. And we entered into the house of the man.

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.

And he described for us how he had seen an Angel in his house, standing and saying to him: ‘Send to Joppa and summon Simon, who is surnamed Peter.

14 Ame ma liru nanghinu nbellen kadura kanga na ubase utucufe nin vat kilari fe.”

And he shall speak to you words, by which you shall be saved with your whole house.’

15 Na ncizina uliru nanghinu, Uruhu ulau tolo kitene mine nafo na uwa tolu nghireke nin cizinue.

And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as upon us also, in the beginning.

16 Meng lizuno nin lirun Cikilari, na awa woro, “Yuhana ame wa shintizin anit nin nmyen; ama anung ima shintizunu minu nanya Ruhu ulau.”

Then I remembered the words of the Lord, just as he himself said: ‘John, indeed, baptized with water, but you shall 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?”

Therefore, if God gave them the same grace, as also to us, who have believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I would be able to prohibit God?”

18 Na ilanza ile imone, na itardaghe uliru ba, iwana zazin Kutelleri, iworo, “Kutelle nani Awurmi likara nsunu naliapi wang.”

Having heard these things, they were silent. And they glorified God, saying: “So has God also given to the Gentiles repentance unto 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.

And some of them, having been dispersed by the persecution that had occurred under Stephen, traveled around, even to Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the Word to no one, except to Jews only.

20 Ama among anit, unuzun Saipirus nin Serene, wadak Antakiya ida su a Hilinawa nin wazin Ciklari Yesu.

But some of these men from Cyprus and Cyrene, when they had entered into Antioch, were speaking also to the Greeks, announcing the Lord Jesus.

21 Tutung ucaran Cikilari wayita ligowe nanghinu; anit gbardang gitirno iyinna idofino Cikilare ku.

And the hand of the Lord was with them. And a great number believed and were converted to the Lord.

22 Ubelleng mine da duru atuf nanan kilarin lira in Urushalima; inani wa tuu Barnabas ku udu Antakiya.

Now the news came to the ears of the Church at Jerusalem about these things, and they sent Barnabas as far as 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.

And when he had arrived there and had seen the grace of God, he was gladdened. And he exhorted them all to continue in the Lord with a resolute heart.

24 Bara awadi unit ugegeme nin Ruhu ulau a uyinnu sa uyenu ni Yesu, iwase ukpinu nanit gbardang kitin Cikilare.

For he was a good man, and he was filled with the Holy Spirit and with faith. And a great multitude was added to the Lord.

25 Barnabas tunna anuzu udun Tarsus adi pizuru Shawulu ku.

Then Barnabas set out for Tarsus, so that he might seek Saul. And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch.

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 they were conversing there in the Church for an entire year. And they taught such a great multitude, that it was at Antioch that the disciples were first known by the name of Christian.

27 Nanya nayiri ane among a Anabawa wa dak Antakiya unuzun Urushalima.

Now in these days, prophets from Jerusalem went over to Antioch.

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.

And one of them, named Agabus, rising up, signified through the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine over the entire world, which did happen under Claudius.

29 Bara nani, nono Katwawe tunna iworo ituu nin bunu udu kiti linuana in Yahudiya, nafo na kogha ma yinnu.

Then the disciples declared, according to what each one possessed, what they would offer to be sent to the brothers living in Judea.

30 Iwa su nani; itoo nin nikurfung kiti na kukune nacaran Barnabas nin Shawulu.

And so they did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
