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 ma haa u darbe nan nu listira, ure unu tarsa u Yeso ani pin nu Listira, una ni zaa Timoti a ino mee u caa Yahudawa, a choo me ubaleleni.
2 The believers in Lystra and Iconium said good things about Timothy,
Anu tarsa Asere sa waa rani u listira nan Ikoniya wa nanziko Timoti kang.
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]}.
Bulus ma nyari udusa nan Timoti, ma gbari me bati ma Yahudawa me sa waa raniu abini me wa rusi uguna aco me ma zee uba Heleni mani.
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.
Uganiya me sa Bulus na Silas wa zin unu tarsa uti pinpin wa haki wa boo anu timum sa ana ka dura ka Asere, ananu nan anu tarsa Asere u Jerusalem wa hem wadi tarsi tini.
5 [God was helping] the believers in those towns to trust more strongly [in the Lord Jesus], and every day more people became believers.
Ani me anu tarsa Asere wa kinki ni kara amu riba muweme wa kini wa kinki u gbardang.
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 nan aroni atanu tumeme wa tarsi Firijiya nan u Galantiya, wa gaa me uribi u Asiya barki sa bibe biririn ba sere baa karti wee u hanan inti zee ta sere abini mee.
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].
Sa wa aye mamu umisiya wa nyari uribe ubitiniya bibee bi Yeso bi karti wee.
8 So they went through Mysia [province] and arrived at Troas, a [port city. I, Luke, joined them there].
Sa wa tarsa nikira nima nyanga mu misiya wa tuu hana Turuwas.
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!”
Bulus ma wuzi tiroo in niye, agi ure unanu makiduniya ma aye ma aye mazin unu gusa umee, aye a Makiduiya ubenkin dura.
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.
Sa Bulus ma maratiroo tiginome wa dusa, wa hira uhana a Makiduniya unu guna Asere; a guna wa ka bezi we kadura kurunta ka sere.
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].
An Bulus wa cheki u Toruwas u hana samotiras, rono unu kure wa haa u Niyafolis.
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.
A bini me wa aki u hana u Filipi, ni pin ni dandang ni Makiduniya an de sa waa raa tari tanu aRumawa.
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].
Unnu wui wa sabath ti suri ana tukum ani pin ti haa uraba nan tidi kem udenge ubiringara ti cukuno ti wuzi tizee wana nee sa wa gurna a hira mee.
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].
Uru nee unu tarsa Asere una ni za Lidiya, uca wanu Tiyatira unu zika uti runga ti kirfi wandang unu kunna uru, Ugomo Asere ma pakki iribi ime mee makuna imum mee sa Bulus mazin unu boo mee.
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].
Sa a Zorome nan ana kurameme ma gun hanu kussi, ingi ya heem guna mi kadundura ma heem in Ugomo Asere aye tarni a kura am, ma rigizan dura ti heem.
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].
Uru wui ti hazi ahira abiringara ti gurna nan kure kubura sa mazin na gbergene ma wuza ni bere, anu henume wa kenzi ikirfi kang a hira ani bere numeme.
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)”
Unee u geme ma tarsa Bulus nan haru, in ni myiran in na sesere unu gusa “Anu ageme areree Asere adandang ani sa wa bezizi una unu bussi.
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.
Ma ziki tiye gbardang unu boo me, Bulus makunna iriban in me kang, ma gun in bibee mee “A nyumo ani zaa ni Yeso kirati suro anyuma ame” bi dusa bi suri.
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].
Sa anu henu me wa ira unaa wa ree uweme wa korso ni pum wa meki Bulus na Silas wa hanwe nyumo a hira a bizizaziza, wa witi we atar tanu gunguzuno uti zee.
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.
Sa wa hanan we ahira unuyoro utize wa gun me “Anu ageme a Yahudawa wazin nubungmurko uru nipin.
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!”
Wa zin nu boo uru timum tige sa ti sassas nan tunu Romawa agi ti kabi.
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].
A nabu wa dusa wa murna we, anu yoro utizee me, wa jani we tirunga wa cekiwe nyenperen, wa gu a cobiwe.
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.
Sa wa tirawe kang, wa tuburko we aka korso, wa gun anu hira ande sa a korso we, wa hiriwe memerun.
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].
Unu me ma sokki we udange una nyumo, ma duku tirzizi we ma kunti ati buna.
25 About midnight, Paul and Silas were praying [aloud] and praising God by singing hymns. The [other] prisoners were listening attentively to them.
In na taaniye Bulus nan silas wa zin biringara nan ire ya sere, u kasu wanna uwe.
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.
Ara anyumo ani me, uzuruko wadizi udandang u eh, ni tin na soo udenge me sa wa rani; ni zuruko tina tukkum me vat ti pagkino dibedibee, vat inyang me sa atirziza anu me isopso.
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].
Unu bee uweme sa ma zuma a moro ma iri tina tukum me kang ma gussi nan anume wa susso ma ziki uvira agi madi weki nicee numemen.
28 Paul [saw the jailer and] shouted to him, “Do not harm yourself! We [(exc) prisoners] are all here!”
Bulus ma tussan me in nimyirang ni dandang, ma gun “Kati u kunno nicee nuwe iwono vat uru ti rani.
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.
Unu beh uweme ma gu ca a ehn ima saa, ma wuu dibedibe ma ribe anyumo maka rizo aje an Bulus nan Silas inbi yau.
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]?”
A suru we a matara magu “Unu dang nyanini indi wuzi bati a burum”.
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].”
Wa gun me “Kaba Ugomo Asere Yeso adi buru we huu nan a kura wee”.
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.
Wa bezi me tize tu Ogomo Asere vat uwe akura me.
A nyumo uganiya ugunome inniye unu bee akura ukorsuzo anu me, ma ziki we ma kpiji we ti nuru me, vat ume nan ana kura ameme azoro we.
Ma ziki Bulus nan Silas ma henwe akura ameme, ma nya we imum yare ma wuzi ire kang nan ana kura amemebarki sa wa kaba Asere.
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]!’”
Sa ahira a sana ma gun ana katuma me “Cekini unu agino me wa dusa”.
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!”
Ma kurzo Bulus tize me agi “Unu dang uru ma nya kudura agi a ceki shi idusa: barki anime suroni dusa a huma”.
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].”
Bulus ma gun we “Ina tiran duru anyumo ana buu, haru anu Romawa sahiki iko uru, wa ka kurson duru; ane ani wa nyara wa suson duru nihunzii, ta gaan duru; ca wa e in na ce awe wa susonduru.
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]}.
Wa kuri wa ka buka kadura me ana dang me wa kunna biyau sa a gunan we Bulus nan Silas anu Romawa wani.
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].
Unu wessi utizee me ma gun wa wuu muriba mu shew, sa ma suso we ma gun Bulus nan Silas wa ceki ni pin me.
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].
Bulus nan Silas wa suri wa akura a Lidiya. Sa Bulus nan Silas wa ira aroni me wa nya we tize tu natta umuriba wa suri wa dusa.
