Acts 13
1 Among [the people in] the congregation at Antioch there were (prophets/those who spoke messages from God) and those who taught [people about Jesus. They were] Barnabas; Simeon, who was also called Niger/Blackman; Lucius, from Cyrene [city]; Manaen, who had grown up with [King] Herod [Antipas]; and Saul.
Anyimo udenge unigura sa wa rani vantakiya, anu ukurzuzo utize nan anu dungura wa rani. We wani Barnabas, saminu (sa a tisa we agenu) nan lukiya Barkurame nan manayin (desa wa hiri nigoo me nan ugomo Hiridus) nan shawulu.
2 While they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said [to them], “Appoint Barnabas and Saul to [serve] me and to [go and do] the work that I have chosen them [to do]!”
Uganiya sa zin ni nonzo na Asere nan unu canti ikono, abini me bibe bi Asere bi dusa bi gu, ''suso ri mi Barnabas nan shawulu bati katuma me sa ma tit we wa wuzi.''
3 So they continued (to fast/to abstain from eating food) and pray. Then having put their hands on Barnabas and Saul and [praying that God would help them], they sent them off [to do what the Holy Spirit had commanded].
Sa nigura me na mara wa wuzi biringira nan u'inta ikoma, wa tari we tari wa gun we dusa.
4 Barnabas and Saul, guided by the Holy Spirit, went down [from Antioch] to Seleucia [port]. From there they went by ship to Salamis [port on Cyprus Island].
Abini me shawulu nan Barnabas wa dusa wa kunna imum sa bibe bi ugomo Asere ba, buki wa dusa uhana usulukiya; wa kafa udusa ani zabu ku kuburus.
5 While they were in Salamis, [they went] to the Jewish meeting places. There they proclaimed the message from God [about Jesus]. John [Mark went with them and] was helping them.
Uganiya sa wa raa anipin ni usalami, wa dunguri tize ti ugomo Asere udenge unigura umayahudawa, waa zin ingoo me nan Yahaya Markus unu benki uwe.
6 [The three of] them went across the entire island to Paphos [city]. There they met a magician whose name was Bar-Jesus. He was a Jew who falsely [claimed] (to be a prophet/to speak messages from God).
Sa wa kafa anizabu nu Bafusa, wa dusa wakem ure ubire uyahuadwa una niza Bat Yeshua.
7 He often accompanied the governor [of the island], Sergius Paulus, who was an intelligent man. The governor sent [someone] to ask Barnabas and Saul to come to him, because he wanted to hear God’s message. [So Barnabas and Saul came and told him about Jesus].
Unu umakiri nanu desa mazi nigoo me nan unu kkpanku udang me sajus Bulus unu rusa mani. Ma dusa ma titi shawalu nan Barnabas barki maa nyari ma kunna tize ta Asere.
8 However, the magician, whose name was Elymas [in the Greek language], was opposing them. He repeatedly tried to persuade the governor not to believe [in Jesus].
Me Elimas ''ubire mani (imum sa nize nime me na buka ini) ma wuzi ni'eru nan we; Ma nyari ma hunze unu kpanku udang nibaba ni'inko iriba.
9 Then Saul, who now called himself Paul, empowered by the Holy Spirit, looked intently at the magician and said,
Abini me shawulu desa me Bulus maa myinci in bibe ba ASere ma riki me aje.
10 “You [(sg)] are serving the devil and you oppose everything that is good! You are always lying [to people] and doing [other] evil things to them. (You must stop saying that the truth about the Lord [God is a lot of lies!]/When will you stop changing what is true about the Lord [God and saying] what is not true about him?) [RHQ]
Ma dusa magu, ''hu vana unu uburi mani, u myinci unu hunzuze abanga nan imum iburi. Hu uruni u'eru uwuza utimum ti riri mani uda kini we umangara uti na tu ugomo Asere ba?''
11 Right now the Lord [God] [MTY] is going to punish you! You will become blind and not [even] be able to see light for [some] time.” At once he became [blind, as though he was] in a dark mist, and he groped about, searching for someone [to hold him by the] hand and lead him.
Ana me, tari ta Asere be azesere anice ni we me, udi cukuno urubo. Uda ira we uwui ba ana me aku uganiya ku cing, ''Abini me uputuru nan maree wa korso kase unyara anabu sa wadi benki me.
12 When the governor saw what had happened [to Elymas], he believed [in the Lord Jesus]. He was amazed by [what Paul and Barnabas] were teaching about the Lord [Jesus].
Sa unu kpanku udang ma ira imum be sa ya kem ma dusa ma nya uhem a tize ti ugomo Asere.
13 [After that], Paul and the two men with him went by ship from Paphos to Perga [port] in Pamphylia [province. At Perga] John [Mark] left them and returned to [his home in] Jerusalem.
Bulus nan aroni ame me wa barka wa dusa wa kafa anyimo ujirgi umei usuro Bafusa uhana Fijiya u bamfiliya. Yahaya maa ceki we ma kuri uhana a urshalima.
14 Then Paul and Barnabas traveled [by land] from Perga, and arrived in Antioch [city] near Pisidia [district in Galatia province]. (On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day) they entered the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place and sat down.
Bulus nan aroni ameme wadusa usuro firjiya uhana u'antakiya amanyanga Bisidiya. Abini me wa ribe udenge unigura uni wui Asabar wa cukuno.
15 [Someone] read [aloud] from what [Moses had written. Then someone read from what the other] prophets [had written] [MTY]. Then the leaders of the Jewish meeting place gave [someone this] note [to take] to Paul and Barnabas: “Fellow Jews, if [one of] you wants to speak to the people [here] to encourage them, please speak [to us(exc) now].”
Sa amara ubasa i hori i'uinso utize nan anu ukurzizo utize, anu adang udenge ubi gura wa dusa wa tuburko kadura wa gu, ''ni henu, ingi izin kare kadura ka unya uni kara ahira anabu i nya.''
16 So Paul stood up and motioned with his right hand [so that the people would listen to him]. Then he said, “Fellow Israelis and you [non-Jewish people] who [also] worship God, [please] listen [to me]!
Bulus ma dusa ma hiri ma bezi wen in tari magu, ''shi anu u'isra'ila nan shi andesa iwono Asere, kuna nin.
17 God, whom we [(inc)] Israelis worship, chose our ancestors [to be his people], and he caused them to become very numerous while they were foreigners living in Egypt. [Then after many years], God helped them [MTY] powerfully and led them out of there.
Ugomo Asere u'israi'la maa zauka acokoro aru, maa kinki ugbardang uweme uganiya me sa rani umasar nan usuro akatuma kadang ka meme maa suso we anyimo me.
18 [Even though they repeatedly disobeyed him, he] cared for them for about 40 years [while they were] in the desert.
Maa nati iriba nan we uhana tiwe akuri anaze anyimo anija.
19 He [enabled the Israelis] to conquer seven tribal groups [who were then living] in Canaan [region], and he gave their land to us Israelis for us to possess.
Sama mara uhua uti pinping tini usunare a ma nyanga mu kan'ana maa nya acokoro aru ukalu.
20 [Our ancestors began to possess Canaan] about 450 years after [their ancestors had arrived in Egypt].” Acts 13:20b-22 “After that, God appointed leaders [to rule the Israeli people. Those leaders continued to rule our people] until the time when the prophet Samuel [ruled them].
Vat timum tiginome taa kem anyimo ati we akuri anazi unu cibi sa taa aki sa igono me ya aka ugomo maa wuzi u'inko utize nan se sa ya biki uganiya u'aye samaila unu ukurzuzo utize maa ē.
21 Then, [while Samuel was still their leader], the people demanded that he [appoint] a king [to rule them. So] God appointed Saul, the son of Kish, from the tribe of Benjamin, [to be their king]. He [ruled them] for 40 years.
Anabu wa dusa wa iki wa gu anya we ugomo, ugomo Asere ma nya we saul vana ukish, unu unilem ni Benjamin maa cukuno we ugomo uhana utiwe akuri anazi.
22 After God had rejected Saul [from being king], he appointed David to be their king. God said about him, ‘I have observed that David, son of Jesse, is exactly the kind of man that I desire [IDM]. He will do [everything that] I want [him to do].’”
Ugomo Asere maa tuzo me ukpanku utigomo, ma hirza Dauda ma cukuno ugomo uwe.
23 “From [among] David’s descendants, God brought one of them, Jesus, to [us] Israeli people to save us, just like he had told [David and our other ancestors] that he would do.
Usuro ubisana bi unu ugino me, ugomo Asere maa suso Yeso unu bura, gusi u'inko sa anu inko.
24 Before Jesus began his work, John [the Baptizer] preached to all of our Israeli people [who came to him. He told them] that they should turn away from their sinful behavior [and ask God to forgive them. Then he] would baptize them.
Igene me ya kem uduku u aye u Yeso u'e, Yahaya ma buu abanga uzurso ukaba utize wa anu Isara'ila.
25 When John was about to finish the work [that God gave him to do], he frequently said [to the people], ‘Do you think [RHQ] that I am [the Messiah whom God promised to send]? No, I am not. But listen! The Messiah will [soon] come. [He is so much greater than I am that] I am not [even] important enough to be his slave [MET].’”
Sa Yahaya ma mara katuma ka meme, ma dusa magu, ''ibasa mi aveni? Daki mi mani ba. Kunna nin uye ma rani sa ma'eze adumo am de besa in bari in sofi tizin ta kwatak ameme ba.
26 “Fellow Israelis, you who are descendants of Abraham, and [you non-Jewish people who] also worship God, [please listen! It is] to [all of] us that [God] has sent the message about [how he] saves people.
Ni henu, ahana usuro ubisana bi Ibrahim, nan an desa wa tarsa Asere anyimo ashi me, barki haru wani a nyan duru kadura kubura kageme.
27 The people who were living in Jerusalem and their rulers did not realize that this man [Jesus was the one whom God had sent to save them]. Although messages from [MTY] the prophets have been read [aloud] {someone has read [aloud] messages from [MTY] the prophets} every (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), they did not understand [what the prophets wrote about the Messiah. So] the [Jewish leaders] condemned Jesus [to die], which was just like the prophets predicted.
Barki an desa wa aki anyimo urushalima, nan anu atigomo tiwe me, daki wa rusa me ba, wa kuri wa myinca uboo anu kurzuzo utize ta Asere sa a basa konde uya uwui wa Asabar abanga uhuna ume.
28 [Many people accused Jesus of doing wicked things], but they could not prove that he had done anything for which he deserved to die. They insistently asked Pilate [the governor] to command that Jesus be executed {to command soldiers to execute Jesus}. [So Pilate did what they asked him to do].
Vat sa daki wa kem imum besa idi wu wa hume ba, wa dusa iki Bilatus ma hu me.
29 They did [to Jesus] all the things that [the prophets long ago had] written [that people would do to] him. [They killed Jesus by nailing him to a cross. Then] his body was taken {[some people took] his body} down from the cross and placed it in a tomb.
Sa wa mara me asesere utiti me sa agangirka me, wa soki anyimo icau.
30 However, God (raised him from the dead/caused him to live again after he had died)
Ugomo Asere ma hirza me usuro iwono.
31 and for many days he [repeatedly] appeared to [his followers] who had come along with him from Galilee [province] to Jerusalem. Those [who saw him] are telling the [Jewish] people about him now.”
Anabu sa wa e nigo me nan me usuro ugalili nan urshalima wa meki uhura ume uhana uti ye gbardang. Anu aginome we wani anu tonno umeme ana me.
32 “[Right] now we [two] are proclaiming to you this good message. We want to tell you that God has fulfilled what he promised to [our Jewish] ancestors!
Ta ayen shi in utize ti urunta, aban utira utize me sa a wuzi acoro ashime ni.
33 He has now done that for us [(inc) who are] their descendants, [and also for you who are not Jews], by causing Jesus to live again. That is just like what [David] wrote in the second Psalm that [God said when he was sending his Son], You [(sg)] are my Son; Today I have shown everyone [that I really am] your Father.
Ugomo Asere ceki duru utira utize ti ge me. Barki anime ma hirza Yeso usuro icau gusi uzina me sa tizi anyimo uzabura ukure, ''hu vana um mani kani me, ma cukuno acoo aweme kani me.''
34 [God] has (raised [the Messiah] from the dead/caused [the Messiah] to live again after he had died) and will never let him die again. [Concerning that, God] said [to our Jewish ancestors], ‘I will surely help you, as I [promised] David [that I would do].’
Imum sa ya kuri iwu ahirza usuro icau ine ini kati nipum nimeme niwici, ma buki ana, ''indi nya shi ure aje u Dauda ulau, tikadura.''
35 So [in writing] another [Psalm, David] said this [to God about the Messiah]: ‘Because I am devoted to you and always obey [you, when I die] you [(sg)] will not let my body decay.’
Ige me ure uzabura, ''be sa ya wuna ma kuri ma buka a ure uzabura, ''uda aki unu lau um wici ba.
36 While David was living, he did what God wanted him to do. And when he died [EUP], his [body] was buried, [as] his ancestors’ [bodies had been buried], and his body decayed. [So he could not have been speaking about himself in this Psalm].
Sa Dauda ma wuzi nirere ni tarsa Asere anyimo iriba ime me nan imum besa ugomo Asere ma unyara, maa wi, avati nigoo me nan acoro ameme, maa wici.
37 [Instead, he was speaking about Jesus. Jesus also died], but God (raised him from the dead/caused him to live again), and [therefore] his body did not decay.”
Desa ugomo Asere maa hirza daki maa iri uwuco ba.
38 “Therefore, [my] fellow Israelis [and other friends], it is important for you to know that [we(exc)] are declaring to you [that God] can forgive you for your sins as a result of [what] Jesus [has done]. Because of [what] Jesus [has done], [God] considers that everyone who believes [in Jesus] is no longer guilty (OR, the record has been erased {[God] has erased the record}) concerning everything that they [have done that displeased God. But] when [God] does [that for you], it is not as a result of [your obeying] the laws [that] Moses [wrote].
Ni henu, rusani usuro unu ugino me uni, adunguri shi tize ti ugomo Asere barki aperkin in madini mashi me.
Usuro umeme uni vat desa ma nya nice made kem ubura usuro u'inko utize ti Musa daki ta ceki fong ba.
40 Therefore be careful that [God] does not judge you [MTY], as one of the prophets said [MTY] that God would do!
Barki anime tarsa nin seke in timum sa anu kurzu utize ta Asere sa waa buki kati myinca ace ashi me.
41 [The prophet wrote that God said], You who ridicule [me], you will [certainly] be astonished [when you see what I am doing], and [then] you will be destroyed. You will be astonished because I will do something [terrible to you] while you are living. You would not believe [that I would do that] even though someone told you!”
Shi anu zatu kunna utize, idi wu hem, i kunna biyau, i kuri imari, barki in zin katuma atiye tishi me, katuma sa ida hem ba, inki uye ma buka shi.
42 After Paul [finished speaking], while he and Barnabas were leaving the Jewish meeting place, [many of] the people there repeatedly requested that on the next (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) [the two of them] should speak to them [again] about those things [that Paul had just told them].
Usuro wan Bulus nan Barnabas waazigino me, anu wa dusa wa meki utira uwe tari, bati wa kuri wa buu usasana utize tigino me roni Asabar ukuro.
43 After they began to leave [that meeting], many [of them] went along with Paul and Barnabas. They consisted of Jews and also of non-Jews who had accepted the things that the Jews believe. Paul and Barnabas continued talking to them, and were urging them to continue [believing the message that] God kindly [forgives people’s sins because of what Jesus did].
Sa biringira ba mara, mayahudawa gbardang nan an desa wa kabi tize ta mayahudawa wa tarsi bulus nan Barnabas, wa gbarika uguna wa rī aje in katuma ka Asere.
44 On the next Jewish rest day, most of the [people in Antioch came to] the Jewish meeting place to hear [Paul and Barnabas] speak about the Lord [Jesus].
Sa Asabar akuro vat nipin wa gurna bati wa kunna tize ta Asere.
45 But [the leaders of] [SYN] the Jews became extremely jealous, because they saw that large crowds of [non-Jewish people were coming to hear Paul and Barnabas. So] they began to contradict the things that Paul was saying [and also] to insult [him].
Sa mayahudawa wa ira nigura na anabu, wa myinca in ni riba ibiit (ni'eru). Wa dusa boo utize tizenzen anice ni tize ti Bulus wa zogizi me.
46 Then, speaking very boldly, Paul and Barnabas said [to those Jewish leaders], “[We two] had to speak the message from God [about Jesus] to you [Jews] first [before we proclaim it to non-Jews, because God commanded us to do that. But] you are rejecting God’s message. [By doing that], you have shown that you are not worthy (to have eternal life/to live eternally [with God]). [Therefore], we are leaving [you, and now we] will go to the non-Jewish people [to tell them the message from God]. (aiōnios g166)
Bulus nan Barnabas wa wuzi tize in ni iriba ihu wa gu, ''ya wunna uri atubi she wani tize ta Asere shi ya gashi tini ya tuburko ni tini ani kira, ya kurzo ni ace ashi me gusi andesa daki wa bari u kem uvengize uzati umarsa akura Asere ba, kunna nin, tidi gamirka uhana ahira anu zatu urusa Asere.'' (aiōnios g166)
47 [We are doing that also] because the Lord [God] has commanded us [to do it]. He said to us, ‘I have appointed you [to reveal things about me] to non-Jewish people [MET] that will be [like] a light to them. [I have appointed] you to tell people everywhere [MTY] in the world [about the one who came] to save [them].’”
Barki anime, ugomo Asere ma guna, ''ma wuna we u cukuno masaa ahira andesa wa ta we Asere ba, bati ucukuno una ukem ubura antimo unee vat.''
48 While the non-Jewish people were listening [to those words], they began to rejoice, and they repeatedly said that the message about the Lord [Jesus] was wonderful. And all of the non-Jewish people whom [God] had chosen (to have eternal [life/to live eternally with God]) believed [the message about the Lord Jesus]. (aiōnios g166)
Sa anu zatu rusa Asere wa kunna abanga age me, wa wuzi iriba irum, wa nonziko tize ugomo Asere. Maroo ma an de be sa amu inko uguna wa kem uvengize uzatu marsa wa hem. (aiōnios g166)
49 [At that time, many of the believers] traveled around throughout that region. As they did that, they were proclaiming the message about the Lord [Jesus] [MTY].
Tize ti ugomo Asere taa ribe vat anyimo a manyanga me.
50 However, [some leaders of] [SYN] the Jews incited the most important men in the city, and [some] important/influential women who had accepted what the Jews believe, to oppose [Paul and Barnabas. So those non-Jewish people] incited [other people also] to persecute Paul and Barnabas. As a result they expelled the two men from their region.
Sa ya cukuno anime, mayahudawa wa dusa wa turi ane age be sa wa wito ace awe atize ta Asere nan anu kaba wan ananu anipin, imum i ge me yaa hunguko ijasi anice ni Bulus nan Barnabas, wa gidi we anyimo a manyanga ma we me.
51 So, [as the two apostles were leaving, they] shook the dust from their feet [to show those Jewish leaders that God had rejected them and would punish them. They left Antioch] and went to Iconium [city].
Bulus nan Barnbas wa dusa wa zamir ususur me sa wa rani atbuna ti we me, ya bezi imum ubasa, wa dusa uhana ikoniya.
52 Meanwhile, the believers [in Antioch] continued to rejoice greatly, and they continued to be completely controlled by the Holy Spirit.
Anu tarsa u Yeso waa myinca ni ni riba irum nan bibe bi lau ba Asere.
