Acts 16
1 Paul [and Silas] to Derbe [city and visited the believers there]. Next [they went to] Lystra [city]. A believer whose name was Timothy lived there. His mother was a Jewish believer, but his father was a Greek.
Bulus nin sila yah udu nigbiri Deber nin Listria inanin wa gwin anan yinu sauyenu kikane. Umong unan yinnu sausalin yenu lisa me wadi Timintawus awa din nan nya Listra. Uname wadi kuYahudawari yinnu sauyenu, ninnanin uchifme wadi ku Helinawari.
2 The believers in Lystra and Iconium said good things about Timothy,
Anan yinnu sauyenu nan nya Listra nin Iconium ibelle imong chine kite nen Timintawus,
3 and Paul wanted to take Timothy with him [when he went] to other places, so he circumcised Timothy. [He did that so that] the Jews who lived in those places [would accept Timothy], because they knew that his non-Jewish father [had not allowed him to be circumcised] {[anyone to circumcise his son]}.
ame Bulus ita nin su uworu ayiru Timintawus ku nin ghe, anin pira niti niti, ma nin su Timintawus ukachiy. Awa su nanin bar a Yahudawa na iwa di niti niti inan sere Timintawus, bar iwa yiru uchif me ku Heliniyawari na awa sughe ukaciya ba.
4 [So Timothy went with Paul and Silas] and they traveled to many other towns. [In each town] they told [the] believers the rules that had been decided by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem {that the apostles and elders in Jerusalem had decided} that [non-Jewish] believers should obey.
Nin nanin ame Timintawus nin Bulus ah Sila, inanin wa chinu nigbiri nigbiri. Ko kame ka gbiri na iwa piru iwa belin anan yinu sauyenu tidokoki to na anan kadura nin na kune na yinin mu nan nya Urshalima.
5 [God was helping] the believers in those towns to trust more strongly [in the Lord Jesus], and every day more people became believers.
Inanin wa bun anan yinnu sauyenu nan nya ni gbiri isu uyinu nin Chikilari Yesu, nin nanin kolome liri anit wa ti anan yinnu sauyenu
6 Paul and his companions wanted/planned to enter Asia [province] preach the message [about Jesus] there, but they were prevented by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit prevented them} [from going there. So] they traveled through Phrygia and Galatia [provinces].
Bulus nin nanan chinme wa kata udu ka gbiri Pirigia nin Galantia, bar na Ufunu Ulau wa naza nanin nin lirunu nan nya ka gbiri Asia.
7 They arrived at the border of Mysia [province] and they wanted to go [north] Bithynia [province]. But [again] the Spirit of Jesus showed them that they should not [go there].
Inanin wadak ligan kusarin Mysia, nin nanin iwa dinin su ido kusarin arewa nan nya kagbiri Bitania, kika ne tutun Ufunu Ulau Isa wantina nanin udu kika ne.
8 So they went through Mysia [province] and arrived at Troas, a [port city. I, Luke, joined them there].
Ninnanin itinna gnah udu kusarin Misia nin dak kusarin Troa, ka gbiri ka na ka di kusa nin kurawa ku diya
9 That night [God gave] Paul a vision in which he saw a man [who was a native] of Macedonia [province]. He was standing [some distance away], and he was earnestly calling to Paul, “[Please] come over [here] to Macedonia and help us!”
Ninkitik kane Bulus wa ti amoron yenju kiti amini wa yene umong unit kusarin Macidonia. Amini wa din yinchin Bulus anin woro,”da kiti bite uda bun nari! Masidoniah”.
10 [The next morning] we [(exc)] immediately got ready to go to Macedonia, because we believed that God had called us to [go and] preach the good message to the people there.
Dana awa yene ammoro yenju kiti titinna ti fita ti gna udu Masidonia, bar tiwa yinnin Kutellẹ. ari yichila nari tidi belin tipipin ti pese chine kikane.
11 So we [(exc)] got on a ship in Troas and sailed across [the sea] Samothrace [Island. We spent the night there], and the next day [we sailed again across the sea and arrived] at Neapolis [port/town].
Inani wa chin kusarin troas ipira ujigirgin mmen, ikata udu Samothra, lirin linbe iduru kagbiri Neapolis.
12 Then we [left Neapolis and] went [by land] to Philippi. It was a very important city in Macedonia [province, where many] Roman citizens lived. We stayed in Philippi several days.
kikane tichino Neapolis tinin da Philipia. Ka gbiri wa dinin apani kan nan nya Masodonia, kika na a Romawa diku. Tiwa ti ayiri kan nan nya Philipi.
13 On the first (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) [after we(exc) arrived], we went outside the city gate [down] to the river. We had heard [someone say] that [Jewish] people gathered to pray there. [When we arrived there, we saw] some women who had gathered [to pray]. So we sat down and began to tell them [the message about Jesus].
Inwui na sabbath tinuzu udas ka gbiri ti do kusarin kuraw. Lanza umon unit woro Ayahudawa ase pitrno kidawo kikane itan lira. Dana tidur, ti yene amon awani pitirno kidawo anan talira, ti tinna ti so nan ghinu, tinin belle nanin ulirun Yesu.
14 A woman whose name was Lydia was one of those who were listening [to Paul. She was a non-Jewish woman], from Thyatira [city, who bought and] sold [expensive] purple cloth. She had accepted what the Jews believe about God. The Lord [God] caused her to pay attention to the message that Paul preached, and she believed it. [The members of her household also heard the good message and believed in Jesus] [MTY].
Umon uwani wadiku lisa me Lidiy, awada nan nya na wanane na iwa din latiszu Bulus ku. ka gbiri wani une wadi Thiatira, awa din lesu na lutuk, nin zazunu Kutellẹ. Kutellẹ wa tighe a lanza uliru ulena Bulus wa di nbel, amini wa yinin m.
15 After [Paul and Silas] baptized Lydia and the others who lived in her house [MTY] {After Lydia and the others who lived in her house were baptized}, she invited us to [go and stay in] her home. She said, “You [(pl)] know that I [now] believe in the Lord [Jesus], so [please] come and stay in my house.” She persuaded us [to do that, so we(exc) stayed there].
Dana Bulus nin Sila isu Lidia ubaptisma, nin nale na iwasosin gam, amini wabellin nar, “adi yerda men dinin unan fiwu Ketellẹ ari, piran ganin iso ku.” dana abelle nari nanin ti tinna tisọ ingame.
16 Another day, while we [(exc)] were going to the place where people regularly gathered to pray, we met a young woman who was a slave. An evil spirit was enabling her to be a ventriloquist and to tell people what would happen [to them]. People paid a lot of money to [the men who were] her owners, in return for her telling them things that [she said] would happen [to them].
Inlon liri, dana ti wa chini uduk kika na anit sa pitirno kidawo isun lir, timini wa zuro nin kabura ulena awa di ubaiwa. Awadinin ifunu unanzan [agergenu] ulena uwa din nizighe likara yenjun bunkiti nanit. Anit wa biza ikubu kitin na lena iwadi adide kubur, nin belin nanin ilemon naima senanin.
17 This young woman followed Paul and the rest of us. She continually shouted, “These men serve the God who is the greatest [of all gods]! They are telling you how ([God] can save you [so that he will not punish you/to be] saved)”
ko kubure wadin dọrtu Bulus nin nanan chin me, achin jertiza,”ale anite din durtu Kutellẹ kona akatin usaura natellẹ nin likara! Idin dursuminu tibau tona Kutellẹ ma bolu minu.
18 She continued to do that for many days. Finally Paul became irritated. So he turned [toward the young woman] and rebuked the evil spirit [that was in her. He said], “By the authority [MTY] of Jesus Christ, I command you [(sg)] to come out of this young woman!” Right away the evil spirit left her.
Kubure wa liubun dọrtunanin nayiri gbardan, Udak ligaghe Bulus ayime nana ka, antina akwila yene kubure anin woro u funu unanzaghe ulena wadi nan nya kubure. Anin belle, Nan nya lisan Isa Christi nuzu udas uchin kuburakone! Sa umọlu kubi ufunu unanzaghe tin na achino kubure.
19 And then her owners realized that she could no longer earn money for them [because she could no longer predict what would happen to people, so they were angry]. They grabbed Paul and Silas and forcefully took them to the public square, to [the place where] the government authorities and [a lot of other people were gathered].
Adide kubura kone yeni na adunan sesu nanin nikububa bar na awangha a su tiyenju bun kiti nanite ba, bar nanin nibinai mine nana. Itinna ikifo bulus nin Sila inin yira nani udu kitik nanit nbun nanan nago ka gbiri.
20 The owners [of the young woman] brought Paul and Silas to the city officials and told them, “These men are Jews, and they are greatly troubling [the people in] [MTY] our city.
Adide kubura kone da nin gninu ubun nago kagbiri inin woro nanin, “Anit alele a Yahudawari, idin fizu nibinai nanite nan nya ka gbiri bit kan.
21 They are teaching that we [(inc)] should follow customs that our laws do not allow us Romans to consider [to be correct] or to obey!”
Idin dursuzu nari tidoka tona arik a Roman yirmuba!
22 Many of the crowd joined [those who were accusing] Paul and Silas, and started beating them. Then the [Roman] authorities commanded [soldiers] to tear the shirts off Paul and Silas and to beat them [with rods/sticks].
Anit gwar dofuno alena iwa kifo an Barnabas nin Sila nin liru kinu, itina fonanin. Ago na Romawa ta a sojoje ijera alituk nan Bulus nin Sila inin kwizo nani nin tishon.
23 [So the soldiers] beat Paul and Silas vigorously [with rods]. After that, they [took them and] shoved them into the prison. They told the jailer that he should lock them up securely.
Nin nanin asojoje tinna ikwizo Bulus nin Sila nanza kan nin tishon. Dana imala kwizu nanin yira nanin shintino nan nya kuti lichin. Inin woro unan yenju kuti lichinghe ati iyizi me kan kiti mine bar iya nuzu udas.
24 [Because the officials] had [commanded] him [to do that], the jailer shoved Paul and Silas into the cell that was farthest inside. [There, he made them sit down on the floor/ground and stretch out their legs]. Then he fastened their ankles in [grooves] between two large wooden beams, [so that Paul and Silas could not move their legs].
Dana unan lura kuti lichinghe lanza nanin atinna atere Bulus nin Sila anin shintino nanin kuti lichin kun nan nya. Kikane, ata nanin iso kutin inin nakwa abunu mine. anin tere abunu mine nin gna likara kitik nacha, bar bulus nin sila wa ghe ichanchana nin na bunumine ba.
25 About midnight, Paul and Silas were praying [aloud] and praising God by singing hymns. The [other] prisoners were listening attentively to them.
ghen kitik, Bulus nin Sila iwa tinin nin zazunu Kutellẹ nin su navu. Amon anan kuti lichinghe wa tinin lanzu nanin.
26 Suddenly there was a very strong earthquake. It shook the entire jail [SYN] and its foundation [SYN]. [The earthquake caused] all the doors [of the jail] to open suddenly, and [caused] all the chains that fastened the prisoners to fall off.
kwak kutin tinnan zunu ka. Bar uzunu kuti, kuti lichinghe tina kupuno kidawo nghan na bunu nanan lichighe tin na ibuntu.
27 The jailer woke up and saw that the doors of the jail were open. He thought that the prisoners had escaped. So he pulled out his sword in order to kill himself, [because he knew that the officials would kill him if the prisoners escaped].
Unan kata kuti lichinghe yene kuti lichin puno kidawo bar uzunu kiti. Awa yenefo anan lichin nuzu ichuo kap. nin yenu nanin a tinna anutuno litan achina molu litime, bar awa yinin ago ka gbiri ma chinghe blin lai ba andi anan lichinghe nuzu ichuo.
28 Paul [saw the jailer and] shouted to him, “Do not harm yourself! We [(exc) prisoners] are all here!”
Bulus yene unan kata kuti lichin ghe a tin na a kalan teat ajartina nin ghe,”Na uwa molu litife ba
29 The jailer shouted [to someone] to bring torches/lanterns, [and after they brought them], he rushed into the jail and knelt down in front of Paul and Silas. [He was very afraid, so] much so that he was trembling/shaking.
Unan kata kuti lichin jartina ninmon ida nighe ufitinla mas anan yene alenghe na udu nan nay kuti lichin. Nin ketizu kidawa nin fiu, amini wa diu inbun Bulus nin Sila.
30 Then he brought Paul and Silas out [of the jail] and asked: “Sirs, what do I need to do to be saved [from being punished for my sins]?”
Anin nutuno Bulus nin Sila udas kuti lichin anin tirino nanin:”Ulai mine dondon, yari men basu inan sẹ ubale?”
31 [They answered], “Trust in [what] the Lord Jesus [has done for you], and you will be saved {[God] will save you}, and the others who live in [MTY] your house will [also] be saved [if they believe in Jesus].”
Inin kwanghe, “Yino nin Isa unan Ugo, fe nin kilari kap ma sẹ ubolu.
32 Then the jailer took Paul and Silas into his house, washed their wounds, and gave them a meal. [He woke up all the people in his house, and] Paul and Silas told all of them the message about the Lord [Jesus. They all believed in him]. Immediately [after that, the jailer and all his family were baptized] {[Paul and Silas] baptized the jailer and all his family}. They were very happy, because now they all believed in God.
Kikane Bulus nin Sila belinghe nghari Isa kitime nin ko ngha kilarime kap.
Kikanere unan kata kuti licbinghe kusu nanin niti shaltizumine, nin kani kitik nin kitikke. Kikanere Bulus nin Sila sughe ubaptiszima ame nin kilarime.
Kikanere unan kata lichinghe yira Bulus nin Sila udu nan nya game anin nananin imonli ili. Ame nin kilarime wa laza liburi libo kan bar inin yinna sauyenu nin Kutellẹ.
35 The next morning, the [Roman] officials commanded [some] police officers [to go to the jail to say to the jailer], “[Our bosses] say, ‘Let those [two] prisoners go [now]!’”
Nin shantu kitin kuwi, adide benle among asojoji ido kiti kuti lichinghe ibelin unan kata kuti lichin,”Achin awaba lichi ighe nene!”
36 [After the officers went and told that to] the jailer, he [went and] told Paul, “The [Roman] authorities have sent a message [(sg)] saying that I should release you [(sg)] and Silas [from prison]. So you [two] can leave [the jail] now. Now you can go peacefully!”
Dana unankata lichin lanza nani, atinna abele bulus ku,”Adideh ka gbiri worai nchin minu ighah. CBar nanin anin nabe chinon kuti lichinghe nene inin gah nan nya kibinai kibo!”
37 But Paul said to the police officers, “The authorities [commanded men to] beat us in front of a crowd before [those authorities] had learned if we [(exc)] had done anything wrong! Then they [ordered men to] shove us into jail! [But that was not legal, because] we [(exc)] are Roman citizens! And now they want [RHQ] to send us away secretly! We will not accept that! Those [Roman] officials must come themselves and [tell us that they are sorry], and take us out [of jail].”
Ame bulus nin belle unan kata kuti lichingh, “Adide kagbiri woro anit i kwizu nari ibun nanit, ninnanin arikima Aromawere, inanin na ti nari kuti lichi. Nene idinun su inutun nari sa ubenlu nanit ka gbiri! Na arik yin ba! Sai tiyene ago ka gbiri da ida nutuno nari ninlitimine nan nya kuti lichinghe.”
38 So the police officers [went and] told the city authorities [what Paul had said]. When those authorities heard that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens, they were afraid [that someone would report to more important officials what they had done, and as a result they would be punished] {[those officials would punish them]}.
Nin nanin asojoji tinna idi bellin ago kagbiri ilemon na Bulus belle. Dana ago kagbiri lanza an Bulu nin Sila Aromawari itinna lanza fi, bar iwa ti imon inanzan.
39 So the city authorities came to Paul and Silas and told them that they were sorry for what they had done to them. The authorities brought them out of the jail, and repeatedly asked them to leave the city [soon].
Nin nanin ago kagbiri tinna ida woro Bulus nin Sila igaparta nanin ilemon na isu nanin. Ago ka gbiri nutuno nanin nan nya kuti lichin ini belle nanin ichin anin ka gbiri.
40 After Paul and Silas left the jail, they went to Lydia’s house. There they met with her and the [other] believers. They encouraged the believers [to continue trusting in the Lord Jesus], and then the two apostles left [Philippi].
Dana Bulus nin Sila chino kutin lich, itinna pira igan Lidiay. Kikane ise ghe ame nin amon anan yinu sauyenu. Ma inin na anan yinu sauyenu likara kibinai nin yinnu nin Is, kikanere anan kadura chino ka gbiri Philipia.
