Katwa Nono Katwa 3
1 In lon liri Bitrus nin Yohana wa cinu udu kiti lira kubin nlir, kubi nikoro ku tiri.
[One day] Peter and John were going to the Temple [courtyard]. It was three o’clock in the afternoon, which was the time when people prayed [there publicly].
2 Umon unit wa duku urika na iwa marigye sa ucin tun umari m, ko lome liri asa iyirogye i ceinge kibulun nlira kika na idin yicu kibulun kicaut bar ana dinga usu likura na rika na ida kuti lire.
There was a man there who had been lame from the time he was born. He [was sitting by] the gate called Beautiful [Gate], at the entrance to the Temple [area]. People put him there every day, so that he could ask those who were entering [or leaving] the temple courtyard to give him some money.
3 Dana a yene an Bitrus nin Yohana cin piru kutin lira asu anin kuculu usadak.
As Peter and John were about to enter [the Temple courtyard], the lame man saw them and asked them several times to give him some money. (OR, The lame man said to them several times, “Please give me some money!”)
4 Dana Bitrus nin Yohana yene gye iworo gye “yene nari”
As Peter and John looked directly at him, Peter said to him, “Look at us!”
5 Nin nani ayene nanin nizimine, awadin su ini gye i kubu,
So he looked directly at them, expecting to get some [money] from them.
6 Nin nani Bitrus woro nin gye, ti dini ni kubu ba bara nanin tima nifi ilemong na timu, nanya lisa Yesu in Nazareth shino. fita ucinu”!
Then Peter said to him, “I do not have any money [MTY], but what I [can do], I will [do] for you. Jesus Christ, [who was] from Nazareth [town], has authorized [MTY] me [to heal you! So get up and] walk!”
7 Nin nanin Bitrus nin kifo unite nin cara ulime anin bungye anan fita, kubi kone, abunu inuteta likara
Then Peter grasped the man’s right hand and helped him to stand up. Immediately the man’s feet and ankles became strong.
8 Anin nyina atina cin! Anin pira nanya kuti lira ligowe nan Bitrus nin Yohana, cin nin kentu nin su Kutelle ku liru.
He jumped up and began to walk! Then he entered the Temple [area] with them, walking and leaping and praising God!
9 Vat anit nanya kuti lirayene itina su liru Kutelle.
All the people [there] saw that man walking and praising God.
10 Iwa yinin amere unit ulena asa sua kibulun kilau kane kutin lira, asa cin tiro ikubu! Nin nanin anit vat kikane laza umamaki nin limon na iseghe.
They recognized that he was the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate in the Temple [courtyard] and ask [people] for money! So all the people there were greatly amazed at what had happened to him.
11 Dana a mbun Bitrus nin Yohana ku anite co udu kibulun kona iwa din yicu Solomon's porrch.
As the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were so surprised [that they did not know what to think] So they ran to the two apostles at the place [in the Temple courtyard] that is called {that [people] call} Solomon’s Porch.
12 Dana Bitrus nyene, nanin a woro nanite “Anun anit Isriala bari yarri idun mamaki? Bara yan angari idina arikiku iyiza nafo arikere ti ta ashino nin likara bit, amini din cingye?
When Peter saw that, he said to the crowd, “Fellow Israelites, (you should not be surprised about what has happened to this man!/why are you so surprised about what has happened to this man?) [RHQ] And you should not stare at us, either! You seem to [RHQ] think that the two of us enabled this man to walk because we [(exc)] ourselves are powerful or because we please God very much!
13 Tima bilin minu ilemong na ita a nanin, Akune bit umunu Abraham k, Ishaku nin Yakub, wa su liru Kutelle ku. Nene Kutelle na antin Yesu ku kan Adide mine na danin Yesu ku kititn igoveno Pilate, asoje nan su gye ti kanchi. Ani gere na nari Yesu ku mbun Pilate k, nin kidun na Pilate ani cina ucin Yesu ku,
[So I will tell you what is really happening]. Our ancestors, including Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, worshipped God. And now he has greatly honored Jesus, who always served him. Your [leaders] brought Jesus [to the governor, Pilate], so that [his soldiers would kill him]. And [God considers that] in front of Pilate you [were the ones who rejected] Jesus [as your king], after Pilate had decided that he should release Jesus.
14 Vat ninani ame Yesu wa di Kutelle Misaiah nanan Israila. Unan sali kulap, inanin watirin unan molsu nanit icinge imemoku me!
[Although Jesus] always did what was right/just and good, you rejected him. [Pilate wanted to release him, but] you urgently asked Pilate to release (a murderer/someone who had killed people)!
15 Kutelle na yinin ani na molu Yesu ku Ame na anani anite ulai sa ligan. Bara nain Kutelle nfegye ata gye ulai tutun. Tina yene Yesu ku nin lai inuzu na yiri gbar dan na awa tighe nin lai tutun.
[God considers that] you killed [Jesus], the one who gives people [eternal] life. But God has greatly honored him (by causing him to become alive again after he died/by raising him from the dead). Many of us saw [him after that, and now] we [(exc)] are telling [you] about it.
16 Nene barna ule unite yina nin Yesu unere ta ataa likara tutun amini wa gya acina in bunmi ne vat.
It is because [we two] trusted in what Jesus [MTY, PRS] [could do, that he] made this man, whom you see and know, strong again. Yes, it is because we [(exc)] trusted in Jesus that he has completely healed this man for all of you to see.”
17 Nene, nuanani kagbiri karu, in yiru anin nanan nadide mine na malu Yesu ku nin tanni, amere wa di Misiah.
“Now, my fellow-countrymen, I know that you and your leaders did that [to Jesus] because you [and they] did not know [that he was the Messiah].
18 Vat nin nani, Kutelle wa belin tutuni ubelen nari Yesu nin molugye. Kutelle wa belin a Annabawe i yertin ilemon na anite ma su Misiah ku. Inani wa yertin ame Missiah ulena Kutelle ma tuu gye ma sonu tikanci anin kuu.
However, [your putting him to death] was what God had predicted that people would do. [Long ago] he told all the prophets [MTY] to write [what people would do to the Messiah. They wrote] that the Messiah, whom God [would send], would suffer [and die].
19 Bara nanin suna umon inazan ini tirin Kutelle ku abun minu isu isu ilemona na ima ti gye alanza mang, bara anan naminu utucu ayepe kulapi mine, kikane ama nin timinu likara.
So, turn away from your sinful behavior and ask God [to help you] do what pleases [him], in order that he may completely forgive you for your sins.
20 An di isu nani, kubi mayitu na imanin yinnu Cikilari Kutelle din buzunu minu. Nlon liri tutun ima tuugye nanna iye ame Misisia, ulena anan niminu. Ame unit ule Yesu.
[If you do that], there will be times [when you will know that] the Lord [God is] helping [you]. And some day he will [again] send back [to earth] the Messiah, whom he appointed for you. That person is Jesus.
21 Yesu ma soo kitene kane udu kubi kna Kutelle ma ti ilemon na ana kelle iti ipes, Kubin worsu Kutelle na tii nani, amini na fere ku ananbi kulau abenlin anite. (aiōn g165)
Jesus must stay in heaven until the time when God will cause all that he has created to become new. Long ago God promised [to do that, and] he chose holy prophets to tell [that to people]. (aiōn g165)
22 Nafo annabi Musa na belin imon kitene Missiah: “Cikilari Kutelle fe ama tuu ku ananbi nafo mmen nanya mine. Ima lanzu ilemon na ama benlinminu.
For [example, the prophet] Moses said [this about the Messiah]: ‘The Lord (your God/the God whom you [worship]) will cause someone to become a prophet to tell you [God’s message. God will send him] as [he sent] me, [and he will be] from among your own people. You must listen to everything that this prophet tells you [and obey him] [SYN].
23 Alena inari ulazu ku annabi kone inin durtu gye na ima suo nono Kutelle ba, Kutelle ma molu nanin
[Those who] do not listen to [that prophet and obey] him will no longer belong to God’s people, and [God] will get rid of them’.”
24 Bitrus nin leu ubun,”Vat a aannabawa wa belin ilemon na ima se kitimone. A annabawa ane umunu Samuilanin vat na lena ina dak nin kidun iwa belin kitene nile imongye ma yitu nanin.
[Peter continued], “All the prophets have told [about what would happen during] the time [MTY] [in which we(inc) are living. Those prophets include] Samuel [and all the others who] later also spoke [about these events] before they happened.
25 Kubi ko na Kutelle na su ualkawali amma su achif bit mmari, amini na su alkawali ama su anigye ma imari. Amini wa benlin Abraham kitene kite Missiah,”In ma ti anit vat nanya iye bara ilemong na anit mine ma su,”
You [as well as we(exc)] are the people [to whom God sent the Messiah, as] the prophets said [MTY] [that he would]. And when God strongly promised [to bless] our ancestors, he also surely promised to bless you. He said to Abraham [concerning the Messiah], ‘[I] will bless all people on the earth as a result of [what] your descendant [will do].’”
26 Bitrus nin malzinu,”Bar nanin Kutelle na tu Yesu ku nanya iye anan su kata Missiah, Awa tuu nin funu a Isriala i su minu
[Peter concluded], “[So] when God sent [to the earth] (Jesus, the one who always obeys him/his servant Jesus), he sent him first to you [Israelites] to bless you. [God will] enable you to stop doing what is wicked [and to start doing what pleases him].”
