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 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.
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.”
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.”
3 Na ligozen mmala ukotu nayi nin lira, i wunno nani likoot inin tarrda nani acara.
And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid their hands on them and sent them off.
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.
So Barnabas and Saul, sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and sailed from there 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.
When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. And John was with them as their helper.
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.
They traveled through the whole island as far as Paphos, where they found a Jewish sorcerer and false prophet named 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.
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.
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 Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith.
9 Ame Shawulu, ulenge na idin yicu Bulus, awa kullun nin Ruhu Ulau a borioghe iyizi
Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked directly at Elymas
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?
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?
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.
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.
12 Kubi na ame Sarjisu nyene ile imon na idi, ame yinna, bara awa kifo unuu nin ndursuzu kitene Cikilari.
When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for he was astonished at the teaching about the Lord.
13 Nene Bulus nan nadondon me, kaffina unuzu Bafus udu Perga nanya Pamfiliya, ame Yohanna suuna nai a kpila Urushelima.
After setting sail from Paphos, Paul and his companions came to Perga in Pamphylia, where John left them to return to Jerusalem.
14 Bulus nan nadondon me, cinna unuzu Bafos udak Antakiya Nbisidiya. Kikane inya udu kutyi nlirag liyiri nassabar idi soo kikane.
And from Perga, they traveled inland to Pisidian Antioch, where they entered the synagogue on the Sabbath 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 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.”
16 Bara Bulus fita ayisina a zillino liti me, a woro, “Annit Israila nin nalenge na idin zazinu Kutelle, lanzan.
Paul stood up, motioned with his hand, and began to speak: “Men of Israel and you Gentiles who fear God, listen to me!
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 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.
18 Udu akus akut anas, ayita nanghinu nanya kusho.
He endured their conduct for about forty years in the wilderness.
19 Kubi na awa mallu nin nipin kuzor, nanyan nmyin kaana, anaa anit bite nmyin mine miso nani ugadu.
And having vanquished seven nations in Canaan, He gave their land to His people as an inheritance.
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.
All this took about 450 years. After this, God gave them judges until the time of 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.
Then the people asked for a king, and God gave them forty years under Saul son of Kish, from the tribe of Benjamin.
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.'
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 Unuzu kuwunu nnit ule Kutelle ba da ni nonon Israila ku unan tucu, Yesu nafo na anusu alikawali nsu we.
From the descendants of this man, God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as He promised.
24 Uleli imone wa cizin kube, kamin Yesu dak, Yohanna wa cizin ubellun nshimtinnu ndiu kutyin, udu kiti nanit Israila vat.
Before the arrival of Jesus, John preached a baptism 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.'
As John was completing his course, he said, ‘Who do you suppose I am? I am not that One. But He is coming after me whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.’
26 Linuana, nono nanya kuwunu Ibrahim, nin nanya mine na idin dortu Kutelle, kiti bitere, kadura nbellen nnan tucu iwa tuu nari mun.
Brothers, children of Abraham, and you Gentiles who fear God, it is to us that this message of salvation has been 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.
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.
28 Vat nani na iwase imomon icaut kiti me nworu akuu ba, itirino Bilatus ku nworu amollu ghe.
And though they found no ground for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have Him executed.
29 Kubi na imala vat nile imon na ina nyertu liti me itoltunghe kitene kutca, inonko ghe nanya kissek.
When they had carried out all that was written about Him, they took Him down from the tree and laid Him in a tomb.
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 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 Bara nani ti da minu nin liru unang imbeleng nciu nnuu ulenge na iwa su an kaa bite unin uworsu:
And now we proclaim to you the good news: What God promised our fathers
33 Kutelle na ceo nari uciu nlirne, arik nono mine, nworu Kutelle wa fya Yesu ku kisssek.
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.’
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.'
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.’
35 Unnare nati ana kuru abelle nan nya namong avu tutung: 'Na una yinnu unit ulau fe a yene ubiju ba.'
So also, He says in another Psalm: ‘You will not let Your Holy One see decay.’
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 when David had served God’s purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep. His body was buried with his fathers and saw decay.
37 amma ame ulenge na Kutelle wa fya Kissek na awa yene ubiju ba.
But the One whom God raised from the dead did not see decay.
38 Linuana na iyinnin ilele, unuzu nlele ina sun nari unuu nbeleng nkussu nalapi.
Therefore let it be known to you, brothers, that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you.
39 Bara ame vat ule na ayinni ma se usurtu nan nye vat ule na ti tisse usurtu mun ba.
Through Him everyone who believes is justified from everything you could not be justified from by the law of Moses.
40 Bara ceon nibinai kiti kirum bara imon ile na a annabawa na belin kitene i wa minu ba.
Watch out, then, that what was spoken by the prophets does not happen to 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.'”
‘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.’”
42 Na Bulus nin Barnabas nnyaa, anite fo nani acara nworu ikuru ida belu nani uliru urum une Asabar ncin dak.
As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people urged them to continue this message 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.
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.
44 Assabar nda duru anan kagbiri vat da zuro inan lanza uliru Ncikilari.
On the following Sabbath, nearly the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord.
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 crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and they blasphemously contradicted what Paul was saying.
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)
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. (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 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.’”
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 all who were appointed for eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)
49 Uliru Kutelle wa malu kiti vat nan nya nmine.
And the word of the Lord spread throughout 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.
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.
51 Amma Bulus nin Barnabas kotuno lidau nabunu mine liso nati mine. Inya ucindu kipin Ikoniya.
So they shook the dust off their feet in protest 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 with the Holy Spirit.
