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.

And there were certain in Antioch, in the assembly there, prophets and teachers: both Barnabas, and Simeon who is called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen also—Herod the tetrarch’s foster-brother—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 in their ministering to the LORD and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate to Me both 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 having fasted, and having prayed, and having laid the 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.

These, indeed, then, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down 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 having come to Salamis, they declared the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews, and they also had John [as] a servant;

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 to Paphos, they found a certain magus, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name [is] 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.

who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man; this one having called for Barnabas and Saul, desired 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.

and there withstood them Elymas the magus—for so is his name interpreted—seeking to pervert the proconsul from the faith.

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

And Saul—who also [is] Paul—having been filled with the Holy Spirit, and having looked steadfastly on 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 guile, and all recklessness, son of a devil, enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting 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, a hand of the LORD [is] on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season”; and instantly there fell on him a mist and darkness, and he, going around, was seeking 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 having seen what has come to pass, believed, being astonished 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 those around Paul having set sail from Paphos, came to Perga of Pamphylia, and John having departed from them, turned back to Jerusalem,

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

and they having gone through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia, and having gone into the synagogue on the day of the Sabbaths, 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.”

and after the reading of the Law and of the Prophets, the chief men of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Men, brothers, if there be a word in you of exhortation to the people—say on.”

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

And Paul having risen, and having beckoned with the hand, said, “Men, Israelites, and those fearing God, listen:

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 Israel chose our fathers, and He exalted the people in their sojourning in the land of Egypt, and He brought them out of it with a high arm;

18 Udu akus akut anas, ayita nanghinu nanya kusho.

and about a period of forty years He endured their conduct in the wilderness,

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

and having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He divided their land to 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 these things, about four hundred and fifty years, He gave judges—until 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 thereafter they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul, son of Kish, 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 having removed him, He raised up to them David for king, to whom also having testified, He said, I found David, the [son] of Jesse, a man according to My 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.

Of this one’s seed, God, according to promise, raised to 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, an immersion of conversion 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 fulfilling the course, he said, Whom do you suppose I am? I am not [He], but behold, He comes after me, of whom I am not worthy to loose the sandal of [His] feet.

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

Men, brothers, sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you fearing God, to you was 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 dwelling in Jerusalem, and their chiefs, having not known this One, also the voices of the Prophets, which are being read every Sabbath—having judged [Him]—fulfilled,

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

and having found no cause of death, they asked 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 fulfilled all the things written about Him, having taken [Him] down from the tree, they laid Him in a tomb;

30 Amma Kutelle wa fya ghe nanya na nan kul.

and God raised Him out of 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 of 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 proclaim good news to you—that the promise made to the fathers,

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

God has completed this in full to us their children, having raised up Jesus, as also in the second Psalm it has been written: You are My Son—I have begotten You today.

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.'

And that He raised Him up out of the dead, to no longer return to corruption, He has said this: I will give to You the holy [blessings] of David [that are] faithful;

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

for what reason He also says in another [place]: You will not give 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, indeed, having served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, and was added to 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.

Let it therefore be known to you, men, brothers, that the forgiveness of sins is declared to you through this One,

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

and from all things in the Law of Moses from which you were not able to be declared righteous, everyone who is believing in this One is declared righteous;

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

see, therefore, it may not come on you that has been spoken in the Prophets:

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.'”

See, you despisers, and wonder, and perish, because I work a work in your days, a work in which you may not believe, though anyone may 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 having gone forth out of the synagogue of the Jews, the nations were calling on [them] that on the next Sabbath these sayings may be spoken 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 the synagogue having been dismissed, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, were persuading them to remain in the grace of God.

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

And on the coming Sabbath, almost all the city was gathered 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.

and the Jews having seen the multitudes, were filled with zeal, and contradicted the things spoken by Paul—contradicting and slandering.

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)

And speaking boldly, Paul and Barnabas said, “It was necessary that the word of God be first spoken to you, and seeing you thrust it away, and do not judge yourselves worthy of the continuous life, behold, we turn to the nations; (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 the LORD has commanded us: I have set you for a light of nations—for your being for salvation to the end 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)

And the nations hearing were glad, and were glorifying the word of the LORD, and believed—as many as were appointed to continuous life; (aiōnios g166)

49 Uliru Kutelle wa malu kiti vat nan nya nmine.

and the word of the LORD was spread abroad through all the 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.

And the Jews stirred up the devout and honorable women, and the first men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and put them out from their borders;

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

and having shaken off the dust of their feet against them, they came to Iconium,

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

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