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, in the Church at Antioch, prophets and teachers, among whom were Barnabas, and Simon, who was called the Black, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manahen, who was the foster brother of 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.”

Now as they were ministering for the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said to them: “Separate Saul and Barnabas for me, for the work for which I have selected them.”

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

Then, fasting and praying and imposing their hands upon 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.

And having been sent by the Holy Spirit, they went to Seleucia. And from there they 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 when they had arrived at Salamis, they were preaching the Word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they also had John in the ministry.

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 when they had traveled throughout the entire island, even to Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-Jesu.

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, a prudent man. This man, summoning Barnabas and Saul, 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 magician (for so his name is translated) stood against them, seeking to turn the proconsul away 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, having been filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at 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?

and he said: “So full of every deceit and of all falsehoods, son of the devil, enemy of all justice, you never cease to subvert the righteous 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 will be blinded, not seeing the sun for a length of time.” And immediately a fog and a darkness fell over him. And wandering around, he was seeking someone who might 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, when he had seen what was done, believed, being in wonder over the doctrine of the Lord.

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

And when Paul and those who were with him had sailed from Paphos, they arrived at Perga in Pamphylia. Then John departed 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.

Yet truly, they, traveling on from Perga, arrived at Antioch in Pisidia. And upon entering the synagogue on the Sabbath day, they 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.”

Then, after the reading from the Law and the Prophets, the leaders of the synagogue sent to them, saying: “Noble brothers, if there is in you any word of exhortation to 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, rising up and motioning for silence with his hand, said: “Men of Israel and you who fear God, listen closely.

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, and exalted the people, when they were settlers in the land of Egypt. And with an exalted arm, he led them away from there.

18 Udu akus akut anas, ayita nanghinu nanya kusho.

And throughout a time of forty years, he endured their behavior in the desert.

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

And by destroying seven nations in the land of Canaan, 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.

after about four hundred and fifty years. And after these things, he gave them judges, even until the prophet Samuel.

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 later on, they petitioned for a king. And God gave them Saul, the son of Kish, a man from 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 having removed him, he raised up for them king David. And offering testimony about him, he said, ‘I have found David, the son of Jesse, to be a man according to my own heart, who will accomplish all that I will.’

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

From his offspring, according to the Promise, God has brought Jesus the Savior to Israel.

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

John was preaching, before the face of his advent, 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.'

Then, when John completed his course, he was saying: ‘I am not the one you consider me to be. For behold, one arrives after me, the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to loosen.’

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

Noble brothers, sons of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, it is to you the Word of this 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.

For those who were living in Jerusalem, and its rulers, heeding neither him, nor the voices of the Prophets that are read on every Sabbath, fulfilled these by judging him.

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

And although they found no case for death against him, they petitioned Pilate, so that they might put him to death.

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

And when they had fulfilled everything that had been written about him, taking him down from the tree, they placed him in a tomb.

30 Amma Kutelle wa fya ghe nanya na nan kul.

Yet truly, God raised him up from the dead on the third day.

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 went up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who even now 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 are announcing to you that the Promise, which was made to our fathers,

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

has been fulfilled by God for our children by raising up Jesus, just as it has been written in the second Psalm also: ‘You are my Son. This day I have begotten you.’

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.'

Now, since he raised him from the dead, so as to no longer return to corruption, he has said this: ‘I will give to you the holy things of David, the faithful one.’

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

And also then, in another place, he says: ‘You will not allow your 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, when he had ministered to his generation in accordance with the will of God, fell asleep, and he was placed next to his fathers, and he saw corruption.

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

Yet truly, he whom God has raised from the dead has not seen corruption.

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

Therefore, let it be known to you, noble brothers, that through him is announced to you remission from sins and from everything by which you were not able to be justified in the law of Moses.

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

In him, all who believe are justified.

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

Therefore, be careful, lest what was said by the Prophets may overwhelm 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.'”

‘You despisers! Look, and wonder, and be scattered! For I am working a deed in your days, a deed which you would not believe, even if someone were to explain it to you.’”

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

Then, as they were departing, they asked them if, on the following Sabbath, they might speak these words to them.

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.

And when the synagogue had been dismissed, many among the Jews and the new worshipers were following Paul and Barnabas. And they, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

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

Yet truly, on the following Sabbath, nearly the entire city came 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.

Then the Jews, seeing the crowds, were filled with envy, and they, blaspheming, contradicted the things that were being said by Paul.

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 said firmly: “It was necessary to speak the Word of God first to you. But because you reject it, and so judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we 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 so has the Lord instructed us: ‘I have set you as a light to the Gentiles, so that you may 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)

Then the Gentiles, upon hearing this, were gladdened, and they were glorifying the Word of the Lord. And as many as believed were preordained to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

49 Uliru Kutelle wa malu kiti vat nan nya nmine.

Now the word of the Lord was disseminated throughout the entire 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 incited some devout and honest women, and the leaders of the city. And they stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas. And they drove them away from their parts.

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

But they, shaking the dust from their feet against them, went on to Iconium.

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

The disciples were likewise filled with gladness and with the Holy Spirit.
