Acts 16

1 And he came even unto Derbe, and unto Lystra; and lo! a certain disciple, was there, by name Timothy, son of a believing Jewish woman, but whose father was a Greek, —

Pɔli ń pundi Derbi yeni Listri mo, ki sua ke Jesu ŋɔdka ke bi yi o Timote, ke o ye likani, Juufipua yua n daani U Tienu nni ya bijua, ke o báa tie Gresi yua.

2 who was well-attested by the brethren in Lystra, and Iconium.

Ya kpiiba n den ye Listri yeni Ikoni den tieni o po kasiedi ŋamo

3 The same, would Paul have go forth with him, and took and circumcised him, on account of the Jews who were in those places; for they one and all knew that, his father, was, a Greek.

Pɔli den bua wan yegi yeni o ki gedi u sanu; lanwani ii, ke o ga o ki kuani o ku ciagu, kelima Juufinba den ye li dogi nni, ki bani ke o báa tie Gresi yua.

4 And, as they passed through the cities, they were delivering unto them, for observance, the decrees which had been decided upon by the Apostles and Elders who were in Jerusalem.

Ban den caa ya dogi nni kuli, bi den caagu u tondu ti jaandiedi nni ke ban cɔlni Jesu ŋɔdkaaba yeni Jerusalema nikpelba ń den diani ki bili ya yikodi.

5 The assemblies, therefore, were being confirmed in the faith, and increasing in number, every day.

U Tienu nitaanli dudugdi den pugni, ki go yabdi ki pugdi daali kuli.

6 And they passed through the Phrygian and Galatian country, being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia;

Pɔli yeni o yegni den tɔgni ki ñani Friji yeni Galatia diema nni, ki sua ke foŋanma den kuani ba ke ban da gedi Asi diema nni ki kpaandi, ki tundi mi maama.

7 but, coming along Mysia, they were attempting to journey into Bithynia, —and, the Spirit of Jesus, suffered them not;

Ban nagi Misia, ban bigni ke ban gedi Bitinia nni, ama Jesu foŋanma den ki puni ba u sanu.

8 but, passing by Mysia, they came down unto Troas.

Ban pendi ki balni Misia, ki jiidi Truasi dogu nni.

9 And, a vision, by night, unto Paul appeared: —A man of Macedonia, there was, standing and beseeching him, and saying—Come over into Macedonia, and bring us succour!

Li bonlegdikaali ń legdi Pɔli po ku ñiagu nni: Maseduani jua den se likani, ki yi o ki tua: “Cua Maseduani ki todi ti.”

10 Now, when, the vision, he had seen, straightway, we sought to go forth unto Macedonia, concluding that God, had summoned us to tell the glad tidings unto them.

Li bonli ń legdi Pɔli po, ke ti jagi li yogu ke ti bobni ki fii ki gedi Maseduani kelima U Tienu yi ti ke ti tundi ki waani o laabaalŋamo bi ya po i.

11 Setting sail, therefore, from Troas, we ran straight into Samothracia, and, on the morrow, unto New City,

Tin fii Truasi, ti taa u sansieru ki gedi Samotrasi, li daalieli tin pundi Neyapoli.

12 and, from thence, unto Philippi, —which, indeed, is the first city of the part of Macedonia—a colony. And we were, in this city, spending certain days;

Tin ñani li kani, ti gedi Filipi yu n tien Maseduani ya dociamu, ki tie ya dogu n yabi ki cie, li diema nni ki den ŋua Roma bali, tin kali li kani dana bá

13 and on the day of rest, we went forth outside the gate, beside a river, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, —and, sitting down, we went on to speak unto the women who had come together.

Saba (mi fuodma daali ń pundi, tin ña ki fagdi yeni bu bulñɔcianbu, ki gedi bɔngu bá kani naani ke ti maali ke tin kadi jaandieli (jaandi yaali). Ti den kali ki maadi yeni ya puoba n taani ki cua likani.

14 And, a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, devout towards God, was hearkening, whose heart, the Lord, fully opened, to be giving heed unto the things being spoken by Paul.

Bi siiga nni ban yi ya pua Lidia, ke o tie Tiyatira pua, ki pugi U tienu den cengi ti. O Diedo ń luodi o pali ke wan ya fiini Pɔli ń maadi ya maama.

15 And, when she was immersed, and her house, she besought [us], saying—If ye have judged me to be a believer in the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there]. And she constrained us.

Ban tieni o mi ñinwulma bogdili, ki yadi mi yedŋanma o diegu po, ke o mia ti ki yedi, «I ya diidi ki sua ke n duu U Tienu po, yin cua n deni, ki ya ye.» Ke ti tuo o maama

16 And it came to pass, as we were on our way unto the place of prayer, a certain damsel, having a spirit of Python, met us, —who, indeed, much gain, was presenting unto her masters, by divining.

Li sua ke ti caa i jaandi, pua ke o bu ti baadi ń cendi ti. O den kuandi o yonbdanba ŋalmani li baabuli po.

17 The same, following after Paul and us, kept crying aloud, saying—These men, are servants of the Most High God, —who, indeed, are declaring unto you a way of salvation.

li pua den ŋua tinba yeni Pɔli ki kpaandi ki tua, “Ya niba ne ti Mi tanpojoma Tienu tuonsɔnba i, bi tundi ki wangi yi mi faabma sanu i.”

18 And, this, she continued to do for many days. But Paul, worn out, and turning unto the spirit, said—I charge thee, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out from her. And it came out the same hour.

O tieni yeni ke laa luo dana bá. Ama Pɔli pali ń beni o po, wan gbagi ki yedi ki cicibiadga, “N maadi a Jesu Kiristi yeli po, ña o niinni” Ke ki ñani ki yaadi ki ŋa o.

19 And, her masters, seeing that their hope of gain had gone out, laying hold on Paul and Silas, dragged them into the market-place, unto the rulers;

O canbàanba ń la ke bi ŋalmani dandanli bodi, ke bi cuo Pɔli yeni Silasi ki gedi yeni ba bi paatieba kani.

20 and, leading them forward unto the magistrates, said—These men, are exceedingly troubling our city, they, being Jews,

Ban kuani ba ti buudi yudaano kani, ki maadi, “Ya niba ne kuandi li ŋmadli ti dogu nni. Bi tie Juufinba i,

21 And are declaring customs, which it is not allowable for us either to accept or to observe, being Romans.

Bi tundi ya bona ke Roma yikodi ki tuo ke lan ga bii lan cɔlni.”

22 And the multitude rose up together against them, and, the magistrates, rending off them their mantles, were giving orders to beat them with rods;

Bi dogtieba den taani ki fii, ki yie Pɔli yeni Silasi po, ke ti buudi danba biidi bi pala, ki landi bi tiadi, ki papadi, ki cabi bu ñɔbu ke ban pua ba a gbana.

23 and, laying upon them many stripes, they thrust them into prison, charging the prison-keeper, safely, to be keeping them:

Ban pua ba ki gbeni, ki cuo ba ki ban luoni li kpaadidieli nni, ki puogi li kpaadidieli guudka ke wanya guu bonŋanla.

24 who, a charge like this receiving, thrust them into the inner prison, and, their feet, made he fast in the stocks.

Wan gbadi ban bili o ya tuonli, ke o kuani ba liiga po kpaadidieli nni ki pilni bi taana i kudseseli.

25 And, at midnight, Paul and Silas, being at prayer, began singing praise unto God; and the prisoners unto them, did hearken.

ku yɔgsiigu ń yɔgdi, ke Pɔli yeni Silasi yiini i yani ki dondi U Tienu, ki jaandi, ke ya kpaada n sieni cengi ba.

26 And, suddenly, a great earthquake took place, —so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, and all the doors were [instantly] set open, and the bonds of all were unfastened.

Li ludli nni, mi tindigbima ń tieni, ki migi li kpaadidieli fiagli, lanyognu, a bulñɔna kuli ń luodi, yuakuli ya kudseseli ń cie ki baa.

27 And, the prison-keeper, being wakened and seeing that the doors of the prison had been opened, drawing his sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to have fled.

Li kpaadidieli guudka ń findi mi guama nni ki sua ke a gana kuli yaa, wan nɔdi o jugsiega ke o ba muu ki kpa o yuli, kelima o bi tama ke a kpaada kuli sani ki ciadi i.

28 But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying—By no means, do thyself harm, for we are, one and all, here.

Ama Pɔli ń tiani paama ki maadi, “Da tieni a yuli bonbiigu keli maa tikuli ye nekanba i.

29 And, asking for a light, he sprang in, and becoming, agitated, fell down unto Paul and Silas,

Li kpaadidieli guudka den mia ke bi yendi u kaanu, ke o sani ki kua ki digbi yeni ti jawaandi ki baa ki gbaani Pɔli yeni Silasi nintuali.

30 and, leading them forth outside, said—Sirs! what must I be doing, that I may be saved?

ki ñani ba, ki maadi “N Diedi n ba tieni ledi i ki baa mi faabma?”

31 And, they, said—Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou, and thy house.

Ban jiini o “Ya duu O Diedo Jesu Kiristi po, a ba baa mi faabma fini yeni a dansanu kuli.”

32 And they spake unto him the word of God, with all who were in his house.

Ban maadi o O Diedo maama, wani yeni odiegu nni yaaba.

33 And, taking them with him, in that hour of the night, he bathed them from their stripes, and was immersed, he, and his, one and all, on the spot;

Lanyognu, li kpaadidieli guudka ń taa ba li ñiagu mɔno, ki gedi yeni ba o deni, ki ŋuudi ŋuudi bi nala, wani yeni o deni yaaba kuli ń tuo ban tieni ba mi ñinwulma bogdili yenma.

34 and, leading them up into his house, he set near a table, —and exulted, having, with all his house, believed in God.

Wan kuani Pɔli yeni Silasi o dieli nni, ki seni ba mi jiema, wani yeni o diegu nni yaaba kuli pala ń mangi yeni wan tuo ki ga U Tienu maama.

35 And. when day came. the magistrates sent off the constables saying—Let those men go!

Lan fandi, ti buudi yudanba ń sɔni u tondu ban maadi li kpaadidieli guudka ke wan luodi ki ŋa bi niba yeni ban ña.

36 And the prison-keeper reported the words unto Paul—The magistrates have sent, that ye be let go. Now, therefore, going forth, be taking your journey in peace.

O guudka ń caa Pɔli u tondu, ki maadi, “Ti buudi danba sɔni u tondu ke ban maadi nni min luodi ki ŋa yi yin ña: mɔlane, i ba fidi ki ña yeni mi yanduanma.

37 But, Paul, said unto them—Beating us, in public, uncondemned, men that are Romans, they thrust us into prison; —and, now, by stealth, are they thrusting us forth? Nay, verily! but let them come, themselves, and lead us out!

Ama Pɔli ń maadi ba, “Bi pua ti asala siiga, ki naa buni ti, yeni tin tie Roma yaaba kuli - ki luoni ti li kpaadidieli nni. Bi jibua ban luodiki ŋa ti li wuoli nni bii? N, n! Ban cua bibá ki luodi ti”

38 And the constables reported unto the magistrates these words; and they were struck with fear, when they heard that they were, Romans;

O guudka ń caa ti buudi yudanba u tondu, ban gbadi ke Pɔli yeni Silasi tie Roma yaaba, ti jawaandi ń cuo ba.

39 and came, and besought them, and, leading them out, went on to request them to depart from the city.

Ti buudi yudanba ń cua ki mia ba sugli, ki luodi ki ñani ba, ki maadi ba ke ban ña ki fagdi yeni bi dogu.

40 And so, coming forth from the prison, they went unto Lydia, and, seeing the brethren, they comforted them, and went forth.

Pɔli yeni Silasi ń ña li kpaadidieli nni ki cua Lidia deni. Pɔli yeni Silasi ń la bi kpiiba, ban paani bi pala, ki fidi ki ña li dogu nni.
