Katwa Nono Katwa 9
1 Vat nani Shawulu leo ubun inziu nanan dortu Kutelle. Amini wa do kiti ndia kutii nlira n-urushalima.
Meanwhile Saul, still breathing out threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest
2 Aworoghe inghe ma-nyertu- nyertu ma na a ba dumu kitii na didia natii inlira n-Damaskos. Ma nyerte wa nighe aghang ale na aba kivinu uzaman nan na wani ale na idin dortu libau Ise, akuru a cisoni natii nacin n-Urshalime, bari adi-dia na nan wucu kideinne ba funuani.
and asked for letters from him to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them to Jerusalem as prisoners.
3 Ku bi ko na Shawulu nan nan cinme wa din cinu udu Udamaskos, na nin daudaunu ba, umon kanang tua unuzu kitene kani mu kilinghe.
As he was going along, he drew near to Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him.
4 Atunna a deou kutin, a lanza liwui nuzu kitene kani, liworoghe, “Shawulu, Shawulu, bari yanghari udin ni nantiting uwuya?”
Falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are yoʋ persecuting me?”
5 Shawulu tiringhe, “Cikilari, fe ghari?” A kawaghe aworo, “Mere Yesu, ullenge na udin yooghe.
Saul said, “Who are yoʋ, Lord?” The Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom yoʋ are persecuting.
6 Vat nani fita upiru nanya kagbiri! Umon nanya kagbire ba bellinfi ilemo na umasu.”
But rise and enter the city, and yoʋ will be told what yoʋ must do.”
7 Alenghe na iwa di nin Shawule lanza fiu, na iyinno ubellu nimomon ba.
The men who were traveling with Saul stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one.
8 Shawule fita kutene, da na apuno iyizzime, na ayinno uyenju nimomom. A nit arka na iwa di ninghe, kifoghe nchara udumu na kipin Damaskos.
Saul rose from the ground, and although his eyes were open, he saw no one. So they led him by the hand and brought him to Damascus.
9 Shawulu ta ayiri a tat, na nin yenju kitiba, ana awa lii sa asono imomon ba.
He went three days without seeing, and neither ate nor drank.
10 Ndamaskos, umong waduku ulenge na iwa yicighe Hananiya unan dortu Yesu. Cikilari Yesu ta Hananiya nanyan namoro-yenju, a aworoghe, “Hananiya!” Ame kpana aworo “Cikilari, nding latizu.”
Now there was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias.” He said, “Behold, here I am, Lord.”
11 Cikilari Yesu woroghe, “cang umong ulayi na idin yicu ning 'udert' ule na udo nghan Yahuda. Utirin lisan mong unit na idin yicighe Shawulu kunan kagbirin Tarsus, nene adin foyi nachara.
Then the Lord said to him, “Get up and go to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas look for a man of Tarsus named Saul. For behold, he is praying,
12 Shawulu wadi amal yenu nanya namoron yenju kiti, umon unit na idin yicughe Hananiya pira kilari kirika na awa duku atardaghe achara bara anan yenje kiti tutung.”
and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and laying his hand on him so that he might receive his sight.”
13 Hananiya kpana aworo, “Cikilari, anit gbardang nabelli ubelleng nnit ulele! A su imon inanza gbardang kitene na rika na iyinna nifin Urshalima.
But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about how much evil this man has done to yoʋr saints in Jerusalem.
14 Ame na malu seru niyert kiti na didyawe, ulenge na una nighe likara akifizo arikana iyina nifi kikane Damaskos.”
And here he has authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call upon yoʋr name.”
15 Vat nani Chikilare woroghe, su immon irika nan belling fi usu, “Can kitin Shawulu!, bara nan nfereghe a suyi katua litinighe nin arika na isali aYahudawa anan na goomine nan nIsrailawe.
But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a vessel chosen by me to bring my name before Gentiles, kings, and the sons of Israel.
16 Memma litinighe ba belling nghe, aba niu kan kiti nanit bari ubellinani uliru litinighe.”
I will show him how much he must suffer for my name's sake.”
17 Hananiya nya a pira kilari kirka na Shawulu diku. Da na ayene Shuwulueku, a tardaghe achara litime, anin woroghe,”Gwana Shawulu, C; hikilari Yesu ntoyi kitife. Amere wa dak kitife kubi ko na uwa di libau udu uDamaskos. Amere na tuyi kitife bara unan kuru use uyenju kiti, tutung uRuhu ulau bara yiru likara litife.”
So Ananias went and entered the house. Laying his hands on Saul, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to yoʋ on the road by which yoʋ came, has sent me so that yoʋ may receive yoʋr sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
18 Nanin dandaunu ba, imonimon nafo imart nibo deu niyizin Shawulu, anin tunnan yenju tutung. Anin fita itaghe ushintunu nmyen milau.
Immediately something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he received his sight. Then he rose and was baptized,
19 Kimal nlii nimonlin Shawulu, ase likara kidowo tutung. Shawulu so nin namong anan dortun Yesu nayiri gbardang.
and after taking some food, he was strengthened. For several days Saul was with the disciples in Damascus.
20 Na nin dandaunu ba, atunnan bellun belle Yesu nanya nati nlira mine in wo amere gono Kutelle.
Immediately he began preaching in the synagogues that the Christ is the Son of God.
21 Vat nalenge na iwa lanzaghe puzuno tunu inin din bellu, “Na ulelere din nanzu narika na iwadin Urushalima anan yiccu kitenen lissa lole ba? Tutung ada kiti kane anan tere nani a yauna udumun kitin Priest.”
All who heard it were amazed and said, “Is this not the man who in Jerusalem tried to destroy those who call upon this name, and has he not come here for the purpose of bringing them as prisoners to the chief priests?”
22 Ama Bulus wase likara asu uwazi abellu a Yahudawa na idin Damaskus au Yesu amere Kristi.
But Saul grew stronger and kept confounding the Jews who dwelt in Damascus, proving that this man Jesus is the Christ.
23 Na ayira gbardang in kata, A Yahudawa kyele atimine nwo imollughe.
When many days had past, the Jews took counsel together to kill him,
24 Ama Shawulu wa lanza ile imon na idinin su isughe. Iwaso ncca kibulughe kiti nin lirin inan mologhe.
but their plot became known to Saul. They started watching the gates both day and night so that they might kill him.
25 Ama nono katwa me yaughe inin toltinghe ligitiri, iwa ghatinghe nin kukuzughari.
But the disciples took him by night and let him down through a window in the city wall, lowering him in a basket.
26 Na anin da u'Urushalima, Shawulu mala udofinun nono katwa, ama vat inghune wadin lanzu fiume, na iwa yinnin ame wang gono katwari ba.
When Saul arrived in Jerusalem, he tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him because they did not believe that he was a disciple.
27 Ama Barnabas yaunghe adamun ubun nana liru Kutelle. Anin belle nani tana na Shawulu wa yene Cikilare libau tutung Cikilare wa liru ninghe, tutung tana na Shawulu wasu uwa'zi lissan Yesu sa fiu in Damaskus.
Barnabas, however, took him and brought him to the apostles. He related to them how Saul had seen the Lord on the road and that the Lord had spoken to him, and how he had been preaching boldly in Damascus in the name of Jesus.
28 Awa zuru nanghinu kube na iwa din piccu nin niccu nanyan Urushalima. Alira sa fiu nanya lissan Cikilari Yesu.
So Saul stayed with them and would go into Jerusalem and speak boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus.
29 Tutung asuzu mayardang nin na Yahudawan Girisiya; ama iwa dinga ubingan molughe.
He would also speak and debate with the Hellenists, but they were trying to kill him.
30 Na linuanan yinno nin nilemone, ida ninghe u Siseriya inin toghe udun Tarsus.
When the brothers found out about it, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.
31 Tutung, nilarin lira vat nanya Urdun, Ugalili, nin Samariya se lissosin liman tutung iwa kunjo; tutung ucin nanyan fiun Cikilari nin nanya mang Ruhu ulau, kilarin lire kunjo nin nanit.
So the churches throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were being strengthened. Continuing in the fear of the Lord and in the encouragement of the Holy Spirit, they were being multiplied.
32 Nene imoimon wa yita, na Bitrus wa galu vat nitinit, ada tolo kiti nanan bi ale na iwa di kagbirin Leyida.
Now as Peter was traveling from place to place, he went down to the saints who dwelt in Lydda.
33 Kikane awase umong unit ku lissame Aines, urika na awa li akus kulir kitenen komime, bara awadi nin konun ku kidowo.
There he found a man named Aeneas, who was paralyzed and had been confined to a mat for eight years.
34 Bitrus woroghe, “Aines, Yesu Kristin shino nin fi. Fita ukyele ukomife.” Atunna afita ayissina.
Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ has now healed yoʋ; rise and roll up yoʋr mat.” Immediately he rose,
35 Bara nani, vat nalenge na iwa sossin in Leyida nin Sharon yene unite ikpilla atimine kitin Cikilari.
and all who dwelt in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord.
36 Nene in kan gono katwa waduku n nanyan Joppa lissame Tabitha, urika na ukpiluwe di “Dokas.” Ule uwane wa kulung nin katwa kacine anin katwan kunekune ka na adin su anan likimon.
Now in Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which means “Dorcas”). She was always doing good works and charitable acts.
37 Nanya nayiri ane, ukonu kwaghe anin ku; na ikussughe, inin nokoghe kuti kitene.
In those days she became sick and died, so they washed her body and laid it in an upper room.
38 Uleyida wadi kupon Joppa, tutung nono katwawe wa lanza Bitrus di kikane, ito anit aba kitime, ipotoghe acara, “Dacari kiti bite sa umolu kubi.”
Lydda was near Joppa, so when the disciples heard that Peter was there, they sent for him, urging him not to delay in coming to them.
39 Fita adofino nani. Na ada duru, idoninghe kutii kitene. Tutung vat nawani ale na alesmine nakuzu yissina kupo me kuculu, inin dindursuzughe altuk nin nazeni alenge na Dokas wa tuju nani kubi na awadi nanghinu.
So Peter rose and went with them. When he arrived, they brought him to the upper room, and all the widows stood before him, weeping and showing him all the tunics and cloaks that Dorcas had made while she was still with them.
40 Bitrus nutuno nani vat nanya kutiiye, atumo atanlira; anin gitirno ayene kidowe, abelle “Tabita, fita.” Apuno iyizi me, na ayene Bitrus ku, afita aso.
But Peter sent them all outside, knelt down, and prayed. Turning toward the body, he said, “Tabitha, arise.” Then she opened her eyes, and seeing Peter, she sat up.
41 Bitrus nin nakpaghe ucarame afeghe; na ayicilla ananbiye nin nawani alenge na ales mine na kuzu, ananani ame nin laime kiti mine.
He gave her his hand and raised her up. Then he called in the saints and the widows and presented her alive.
42 Kogha tunna nin yiru nile imone vat nanya Joppa, gbardang nanit tutung yinna nin Cikilare.
This became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
43 Bitrus tunna ata ayiri nin mong unit, lissame Simon, ku Tanna.
And Peter remained in Joppa for many days with a tanner named Simon.
