Acts 13
1 Now in the church that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Bar-Naba, Shimon who was called Niger, Luqius of Qurini, Manayeil the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Shaul.
Zizan ni Ekklisiya wu Antioch, Anabawa baba bi tsro bari bana he. Bana ba BArnabas, Siman (wa ba yondi Niger), Lucius wu Cyrene, Manaen (vayi Herod wu retrarch wa bana kpa'u nji toh wu ngrji hi mba), mba Shawulu.
2 As they served the Lord and fasted, the Rukha d'Qudsha said, "Separate Bar-Naba and Shaul for me, for the work to which I have called them."
Niwa basia bre ni kaa rhi kpe nda ni nzu Bachi hon, Ruhu Tsatsra a tre ndi, “Chuu ba Barnabas mba Shawulu zi tinkan nimu, ni duba ti ndu wa mi yoba duba ti.”
3 Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
Hu bre ni kaarhibiri, mba yo woh ni tumba, ba tru ba yo ni duba hi.
4 So, being sent out by the Rukha d'Qudsha, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.
Kima, Barnaba mba Shawulu, niwa Ruhu Tsatsra a ton ba rjuhi'a, ba grji hi Seleucia; rhiniki ba wu jrigi mma hini Cyprus.
5 When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. They had also Yukhanan as their attendant.
Niwa ba he ni gbu Salamis, ba d'bu bla lantre Irji nimi ko Synagogues wu Yahudawa. Yohana ngame a he niba toh wu zoba.
6 When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a Jewish false prophet whose name was Bar-Yeshua,
Niwa ba zren kaagon nclan meme gbungblu kima hi ni Paphos, ba ka tsra ni ndji wu katibrji ri ndi Yahudi wa ana anabi wu che, wa ndema ana Bar Yesu.
7 who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Bar-Naba and Shaul, and sought to hear the word of God.
Ndji wu katibrji ana ta zren zontu ni kikle ndji wu gaatre, Sergius Paulus, wa aheni mre toh kpe kpukpome. Igu yi a yoye ni kpama, ba Barnabas mba Shawulu, nitu a nison wo lantre Irji.
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the faith.
Ama Elymas “Wu katibrji” (toki ba k'ma ndema sran) a lu kri sen nyu wu ka kpanyme niba; a ta son k'ma kikle Iguwu gaatre rju ni nkon kpanyme'a.
9 But Shaul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Rukha d'Qudsha, fastened his eyes on him,
Niki Shawulu, wandi bata yondi Bulus ngame, shuni Ruhu Tsatsra, a yo shishi yau gbahme
10 and said, "Full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
nda tre ndi, Iwu vren brji, wu shuni kpi kankan wu gyru mba meme dri. Wu kame ni ko ngye wa a he ni nkon tsatsra'a. Wuna don me ni k'ma sran nkon triime wu Bachi, ka ana naki na?
11 Now, look, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, unable to see the sun for a time." Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
Zizan ya, Iwoh Bachi a he ni tume, wu k'mati ndji wu mfyen. Wuna toh kpanrhi wu nton bari na.” Hihari niki, ikpe too iwru mba bwu a ku nitu Elymas; wa dusi zren ni kaagon siwa nji duba vu ni wo tsro nkon.
12 Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
Huwa kikle wu gaatre a toh kpewa a zren'a, a kpanyme, nitu tre wu Bachi wa a wo'a, a nuu rhimre ni sissri.
13 Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia, and Yukhanan departed from them and returned to Urishlim.
Zizan Bulus baba kpukpan ma ba ba wru zren hu ni nokn maa rjini Paphos nda ka rini Perga wu Pamphylia. Ama Yohana a kaba don nda k'ma hi ni Urushelima.
14 But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and sat down.
Bulus baba kpukpan ma ba zren rhi ni Perga nda ka rini Antioch wu Pisidia. Niki bahi ka rini Synagogue chachu Sati nda ka kuson.
15 After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, "Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak."
Hu, vu bla nha wu doka mba wu ba anabawa ba, bi ninkon wu Synagogue ba ton ba ni tre ndi, “Mri vayi, bita he ni tre wu nron ni ndji biyi, bika hla.”
16 Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, "Men of Israyel, and you who fear God, listen.
Niki Bulus a lu kri nda nzuwo tibawu nda tre ndi, “Ndji bi Israila baba biyi wa bi klu Irji, woo yi.
17 The God of this people Israyel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as foreigners in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it.
Irji wu ndji bi Israila yi a chu ba bachimbu nda du ndji ba bran ti gbu, niwa bana ki meme Egypt, mba ni woma waa nzu hon, a nji ba rju nikima.
18 For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.
Ni nton mla ise tso-tra-don-nza a tiya nji ba nimi gbungblu tsutsu miji. / Vunvu nha bi sen bari ba yo ndi / Wu ise mla tso-tra-don-nza asi mlabaya nji ni gbungblu tsutsu miji. /
19 When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance.
Hu gon wa a yra gbungblu ndji tangban wa bana he ni meme Canaan'a, a ban meme mba nu ndji mbu ni du k'ma ti umba.
20 All this took about four hundred and fifty years. And after these things he gave them judges, until Shemuyel the prophet.
Ikpe biyi ba rhuhe toki zan se 450 wa baka hi ye. Hu gon kpi biyi, Irji a nuba bi gaatre ka tsra ni nton anabi Samuel.
21 Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Shaul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benyamin, for forty years.
Mle ndji ba ba mye ndi du nuba chu, u Irji a nuba Shawulu vren Kish, ndji wu grijhi Benjamin, ni du hon ti chu nitumba wu se tso-tra-don-nza.
22 When he had removed him, he raised up Dawid to be their king, to whom he also testified, 'I have found Dawid the son of Ishai, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.'
Hu kima, Irji a churhu ni tuchu'a, nda nzu Dauda hon ni du k'ma he chumba. Ana Dauda yi wa Irji a hla tre ni tuma ndi, “Ngye mi ye toh Dauda vren Jesse a hi ndji wa ani hu sron mu, wa ani ti wawu kpiwa Mison ni du ti.
23 From this man's offspring, according to his promise, God has brought to Israyel a Savior, Yeshua,
Rhini h'pu iguhi Irji njiye ni Israila ndji wu kpachuwo, Yesu wa ana shirji ni tu a ni ti toki.
24 before his coming, when Yukhanan had first preached the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israyel.
Niwa Yesu a rhihe ye, Yohana a d'bu batisma wu k'ma sron sran ni ndji bi Israila wawu.
25 As Yukhanan was fulfilling his course, he said, 'What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But look, one comes after me the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.'
Niwa a ta kle ndu ma, a tre ndi 'Bi rhimre ndi me mi nha?' Me, Mina wawuyi na. Ama srenton, iri ni ye hu gon mu, lagban za ma me mina mlakri wa mi siwuna.
26 Brothers, children of the stock of Avraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to us.
Mri vayi, mri wu iyi Ibrahim, baba biwa ba he nimi mbi wa ba klu Irji, ahi ni tawuyi mba ba ton tre wu kpachuwu yi ye.
27 For those who dwell in Urishlim, and their rulers, because they did not know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.
Ni ndji biwa ba ki ni Urushelima, baba bi tuchu mba, bana mla too na nda du lantre ba anabawa wa ba ta bla chachu ni vi wu Sati'a, a hon tumba niwa ba kaamba niwu.
28 Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
Niwa ba wa ndana toh kpe wu lowu wu qu na, ba yo Pilate ndi du wuu.
29 When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree, and placed him in a tomb.
Niwa ba kle wawu kpi wa bana nha nituma'a, ba banwu grji rhini kunkron'a nda kawu yo kru nimi ibe.
30 But God raised him from the dead,
Ama Irji a nzuulu rjini qu.
31 and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galila to Urishlim, who are his witnesses to the people.
Wu vi gbugbuwu ndji waba hu rji ni Galili ye Urushelima basi too. Ahi ndji biyi yi basi bla kpi wa bato nituma ni ndji ba.
32 We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,
Niki ki hla yiwu tre ndindi, shirji wa a ye niba bachimbu
33 that God has fulfilled for us, their children, in that he raised up Yeshua. As it is also written in the second psalm, 'You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.'
a du ba ye he toki nitawu, mri mba, nitu wa a nzu Yesu lu. Na wa ba nha ni Zabura wu ha: “Wu hi wu vren mu, luwa mi k'ma ti time, /
34 "Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: 'I will give to you the faithful sacred things of Dawid.'
Nituwa a nzuu lu rji ni qu nitu du na la ka k'ma ye na, Irji a tre toyi: / Mie nu tsatsra mbalulu wa mi shirji ni Dauda.
35 Therefore he says also in another psalm, 'You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.'
Nitu ki ala tre ni Zabura ri ngari ndi “Wuna du tsatsra me du toh gla na.'
36 For Dawid, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was placed with his fathers, and saw decay.
Niwa Dauda a kle ndu wa Irji a son niwu'a ni k'ba bi ngrjima, a ku kruna, e ba karhuu baba ba bachima, e k'ma ma a toh gla.
37 But he whom God raised up saw no decay.
Ama wawu wa Irji a nzu lu'a ana toh gla na.
38 Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you forgiveness of sins,
Niki bika toh, mri vayi, ndi, zu ni wo guyi, ba d'bu nihiwu, kpawruhle lahtre.
39 and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the Law of Mushe.
Zuni wu, ko nha wa a kpanyme ani kpa yandindi nitu wawu kpi wa doka Musa ana toh ya ndindi niwu na.
40 So beware, lest what is said in the Prophets should come about:
Nikima, mla zren nitu kpi wa anabawa ba tre nituma duna hon nitu mbi na:
41 'Look, you scoffers, and be amazed, and perish; for I am working a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, if one tells it to you.'"
Mla ya, biyi bi kpa wruhle, ni ya ni nyu ni w'ho, mle ni qu kado; Toh, mi nji ndu niye nimi vi mbi biyi, Ndu wa bina kpanyme niwu na, ko ndrjo ri nita d'bu bla yiwu.'”
42 So when they went out they urged them to speak about these things on the next Sabbath.
Niwa Bulus mba BArnaba ba lusi hi, ndji ba ba breba ni duba la tre lan tre ba ngari ni chachu Sati wu hu kima.
43 Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Bar-Naba; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
Niwa ku son mba wu Synagogue a ye kle'a, yahudawa gbugbumba baba biwa ba kpanyme nda k'ma ni hu Irji mba ba hu Bulus mba Barnaba, e ba tre niba nda nron ba ndi duba kri gbangban ni nkon ndindi wu Irji.
44 The next Sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of the Lord.
Nivi Sati wa aka hu kima, igbua wawu ba ye zontu ki nitu duba wo lantre wu Bachi.
45 But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and reviled him.
Niwa Yahudawa ba ba toh kpaandi ba, ngu a shu ni sron mba, nda duba tre meme nitu kpi wa Bulus a tre'a, nda si mren'u.
46 Paul and Bar-Naba spoke out boldly, and said, "It was necessary that God's word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, look, we turn to the non-Jewish people. (aiōnios g166)
Ama Bulus mba Barnaba ba tre rju ni gbengble sron ndi “Abi wa du yi guchi wo bla lantre Irji. Ni toyi bi tru hle rjuni kpa mbi, ni ban kpambi ti wa bina mla wu kpa vri wa ana kle na, tooyi, ki k'ma hi nibi wa ba bi kora. (aiōnios g166)
47 For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, 'I have set you as a light to the nations, that you may bring salvation to the farthest part of the earth.'"
Toki Bachi a mmhata gbangban ni tre ndi, 'Mi yoyi nji kpachuwo hi ni gbungblu nkankan wu meme wawuu.'”
48 As the non-Jewish people heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord. As many as were appointed to everlasting life believed. (aiōnios g166)
Niwa bi kora'a ba wo tre yi, ba ngyiri nda nzu hon lantre wu Bachi. Wawu biwa a yoba yo ni duba kpa ivri wa ana kle na, ba kpanyme niwu. (aiōnios g166)
49 The Lord's word was spread abroad throughout all the region.
Lantre Bachi a zren hi ni ngbran kima wawu.
50 But the Jews stirred up the devout women of prominence and the leading men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Bar-Naba, and threw them out of their borders.
Ama Yahudawa ba ba chon mmba bi ninkon ndani kri gbangban ni hu'a, baba lilon bi tsro nkon wu hu ni gbu'a. Ba chon iya yo nitu Bulus mba BArnaba nda duba zuba vrarju ni ngbran kima.
51 But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
Ama Bulus mba Barnaba ba kpon meme zamba rju du hon tumba. Mle ba hi ni gbu Iconium.
52 The disciples were filled with joy with the Rukha d'Qudsha.
E mri ko bi hu ba ba shuni ngyiri mba ni Ruhu Tsatsra.
