Acts 11

1 The apostles and [other] believers who lived in various towns in Judea [province] heard people say that [some] non-Jewish people had believed the message [from] God [about Jesus].

Hagi menina Anumzamofo aposol naga ene mago'a Judia nemani'za mono naga'mo'za, megi'a vahe'mo'za (Gentiles) Anumzamofo naneke eri'naze nanekea antahi'naze.

2 So when Peter [and the six other believers] returned [from Caesarea] to Jerusalem, [some] Jewish believers criticized Peter, [because they thought that Jews should not associate with non-Jews] [MTY].

Ana huteno Pita'a Jerusalemi kumate mrerino vige'za, zamufama tgahu (circumcised) zamentinti vahe'mo'za agriku ke hakare hunente'za,

3 They said to him, “Not only was it wrong for you(sg) to visit non-Jewish people, you [even] ate with them!”

kagra zamufa taga osu vahe nompi vunka ne'zana zamagrane omene'nane.

4 So Peter began to explain exactly [what had happened concerning Cornelius].

Hu'neanagi Pita'a ke aseni'are erinte erinte huno huama hu'ne,

5 He said, “I was praying [by myself] in Joppa [town], and in a trance I saw a vision. I saw that something like a large sheet was being lowered from heaven. [It was tied with ropes] at its four corners, and it came down to where I was.

Nagra Jopa ran kumapi manine'na nunamu nehu'na ava'nagna'za kogeno, mago tavrave'gna zana atupare atupare azeri'neno atregeno monafinti eramino nagrite e'ne.

6 As I was looking intently into it, I saw some tame animals [but also animals that our laws forbid us to eat, including] wild animals, snakes, and wild birds.

Keankere'na ana tavravefi koana, 4'a agiaza hunte'nea zagagafa ama mopafi mani'neane, trampi zagane asagugati vano nehia zagane afi' namaramine ke'noe.

7 Then I heard God [MTY] commanding me, ‘Peter, get up, kill [some of these], and [cook and] eat [their meat]!’

Nagra nentahugeno mago agerumo'a anage nagrikura hu'ne, Pitaga otinka, ahenka no hu'ne!

8 But I replied, ‘Lord, [you(sg)] surely do not [really want me to do that], because I have never eaten [MTY] meat [from any animal] that [our laws say] that we [(exc)] must not eat [SYN]!’

Hu'neanagi nagra anage hu'noe, Ra'moka avusese osuno agru osu'zana hunagru hu'nanke'na nonoa zagagafagina onegahue hu'na hu'noe!

9 God spoke from heaven [to me] a second time, ‘[I am] God, [so] if I have made something acceptable [to eat], do not say that it is not acceptable [to eat]!’

Hianagi ana ageru'mo mago'ene anage monafinti hu'ne, Anumzamo'ma azeri agruma hu'neniazana, haviza huno agaru osu'ne hunka osuo!

10 Then [after that happened three times, the sheet with] all [those animals and birds] was pulled up into heaven again.”

Anazana tagufa (3'a) zupa fore huteno, ete ana mika'zana avazu higeno monafi mareri'ne.

11 “At that exact moment, three men who had been {whom [Cornelius] had} sent from Caesarea arrived at the house where I was staying.

Ana'ma nehigeno'a, Sisaria kumateti huzmantege'za tagufa vahe'mo'za nemanua nonte ehanati'naze.

12 [God’s] Spirit told me that I should be willing to go with them [even though they were not Jews]. These six [Jewish] believers [from Joppa] went with me [to Caesarea], and then we [(exc)] went into that [non-Jewish] man’s house.

Avamumo nasamino, I'o osunka ana vahe'ene amane vuo hige'na, 6si'a nenafu'za nagrane azageta Koniliasi nontega vu'none.

13 He told us that he had seen an angel standing in his house. The angel told him, ‘Tell some [men] to go to Joppa and bring back Simon whose other name is Peter.

Koniliasi kegeno ankeromo noma'afi oti'neno asami'nea kea, anage huno tasami'ne, huzamantege'za Jopa vu'za Saimoni'e nehaza ne', mago agi'a Pitana avare'za esageno,

14 He will tell you [(sg)] how you and everyone [MTY] else in your house will be saved {how [God] will save you and everyone [MTY] else in your house}.’

agra mono naneke neramasaminkeno, kagri'ene mika nagaka'anena, kefo zantmifinti tamahoke ahegahie.

15 After I started to speak, the Holy Spirit [suddenly] came down on them, just like he had first [MTY] come on us [during the Pentecost festival].

Anante naneke erigafa hu'na nehugeno, Ruotge Avamu'mo zamagrite erami'ne. Ese'ma tagrite e'neaza huno emani'ne.

16 Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John caused people to be baptized in water, but [God] will cause the Holy Spirit [to enter you and change your lives.’]

Ana hige'na Ramo'ma huno, Joni'a tinu mono tina fre ramante'neankino, Avamunu tina frermantegahi hu'nea kegu nagesa antahi'noe.

17 God gave those non-Jews the same Holy Spirit that he had given to us [(inc)] after we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ. So, ([I] could not [possibly] tell God that he did wrong [when he gave them the Holy Spirit!]/how could I [tell] God that he did wrong [when he gave them the Holy Spirit]?) [RHQ] [He was showing that he had received them]!”

Ana hu'negu Anumzamo'ma magozahu muse'zama (gift) zamagri'ma zami'neana, anahu kna huno Agra Ramofo Jisasi Kraisinte tamentinti nehunkeno tami'neaza hu'negu, iza'na nagra Anumzamofo eri'zankura i'o huzamantegahue?

18 After [those Jewish believers] heard what Peter said, they stopped criticizing [him. Instead], they praised God, saying, “Then it is [clear to us that] God has also accepted the non-Jews so that they will have eternal life, if they turn from their sinful behavior [and believe in Jesus]!”

Anankema zamagrama antahite'za, kema huzmanteku'ma hazana netre'za, Anumzamofo ra agi ami'za anage hu'naze, Anumzamo'a megia vahe'enena zamavarege'za zamagu'a rukarehe hu'za zamasimu e'nerize hu'naze.

19 After [people had killed] Stephen, many of the believers left [Jerusalem and went] to other places, because people were causing them to suffer [there in Jerusalem. Some of] them went to Phoenicia [region], some went to Cyprus [Island], and others went to Antioch [city in Syria province. In those places] they were continually telling people the message [about Jesus], but they told only other Jewish people.

Stivenina ahe nefri'za mago'a nagara zamahe fragu vazige'za, atre'za Fonesiane, Saiprusine, Antiokune, nevu'za ru vahete mono osu, Jiu vaheteke mono kea ome zamasmi'naze.

20 Some of the believers were men from Cyprus and from Cyrene [city in north Africa]. They went to Antioch, and [although they told other Jews about] the Lord Jesus, they also told non-Jewish people [there].

Hu'neanagi Saiprusi vahe'ene Sairini vahe'mo'za zamagripinti mago'a Antioku e'za, agafa hu'za Ramofo Jisasi Knare Musenkea huama hu'za Griki vahe zamasmi'naze.

21 The Lord [God] [MTY] was powerfully enabling those [believers to preach effectively. As a result], very many [non-Jewish] people believed [their message and] trusted in the Lord [Jesus].

Ramofo hihamumo zamagripi me'negu, tusi'a vahe'mo'za zamagu'a rukarehe hu'za Ramofonte zamentinti hu'naze.

22 The group of believers in Jerusalem heard [MTY] [people say that many people in Antioch were believing in Jesus. So] the [leaders] of the congregation in [Jerusalem] asked Barnabas to go to Antioch.

Ana'ma zamagrama haza zamofonkemo'a, Jerusalemi mono vahete ege'za nentahi'za, zamagra Banabasi huntageno Antioku vu'ne.

23 When he got [there], he realized that God had acted kindly toward [the believers. So] he was very happy, and he continually encouraged all of the [believers] to continue to trust completely in the Lord [Jesus].

Agrama eno Anumzamo'ma asunku'ma humazmanteaza negeno, muse nehuno zamazeri hanaveti ke zamasmino, Tamage huta tamagu'areti Ramofonte amage anteho.

24 Barnabas was a good man [whom] the Holy Spirit completely controlled, one who trusted [God] completely. [Because of what Barnabas did], many people [there] believed in the Lord [Jesus].

Banabasi'a knare ne' mani'neno, Avamupi aviteno amentinti hu'negeno, tusi'a veakrerafamo'za maka vahe'mo'za Ramofonte e'naze.

25 Then Barnabas went to Tarsus [in Cilicia province to try] to find Saul.

Ana huteno Banabasi'a Soli omegenaku Tasisi kumate vuno,

26 After he found him, Barnabas brought him [back to] Antioch [to help teach the believers. So during] a whole year [Barnabas and Saul] met [regularly] with the congregation [there] and taught many of them [about Jesus. It was] at Antioch that the believers were first called Christians {[that people] first called the believers Christians}.

ome ke fore huteno avareno Antioku kumate uhanati'na'e. Ana kafufina Banabasi'ene Solikea mono vahe'zaga mono kea hunezamikeno tusi'a vahe fore hu'ne. Anante Jisasima amage'ma nentaza disaipol naga'mo'za pusante (kristen) mono vahere hu'za zamagi'a eri'naze.

27 During the time [that Barnabas and Saul were] at Antioch, some [believers who were] prophets arrived there from Jerusalem.

Ana knafina mago'a kasnampa vahe'mo'za Jerusaleti erami'za, Antioku kumate ehanati'naze.

28 One of them, whose name was Agabus, stood up [in order to speak]. [God’s] Spirit enabled him to prophesy (that there would soon be a famine in many countries/that [people] in many countries [HYP] would soon [suffer because they] would not have enough [food] to eat). (That famine happened when Claudius was the [Roman Emperor].)

Mago'zmia Agabusi'e hu'za nehaza ne'mo, otino Avamumofo hanavefi maka mopafina agate'za fore hugahie huno hu'ne. (Klaodias Sisama ran kva emania knafi fore hu'ne).

29 When the believers [there heard what Agabus said], they decided that they would send [money] to help the believers who lived in Judea. Each [of them decided to give as much money] as he was able [to give].

30 They sent [the money] with Barnabas and Saul to the leaders of the congregation [in Jerusalem].
