< Acts 3 >

1 [One day] Peter and John were going to the Temple [courtyard]. It was three o’clock in the afternoon, which was the time when people prayed [there publicly].
Na wo Bitrus kange Yuwanna yakenti kuwabe kwama ki kwma kwobka dilo kan keno taar.
2 There was a man there who had been lame from the time he was born. He [was sitting by] the gate called Beautiful [Gate], at the entrance to the Temple [area]. People put him there every day, so that he could ask those who were entering [or leaving] the temple courtyard to give him some money.
Ni kange kilen ci bouciko nyo cii ki tuu kwaticobak nabou ciko nyilo kuwabka wo cii coti ki yoryoreu ki ken kim nubo dokenti mor kuwabi kwamau.
3 As Peter and John were about to enter [the Temple courtyard], the lame man saw them and asked them several times to give him some money. (OR, The lame man said to them several times, “Please give me some money!”)
To Bitrus kange Yuwanna doken mor kuwabi kwama, kenci luma nerer.
4 As Peter and John looked directly at him, Peter said to him, “Look at us!”
Bitrus kange Yuwanna ciin cii cinenten kanuwe Bitrus yiki, “To nyo”.
5 So he looked directly at them, expecting to get some [money] from them.
kilendo to cii kwatiki keno can fiya diker ciinen na.
6 Then Peter said to him, “I do not have any money [MTY], but what I [can do], I will [do] for you. Jesus Christ, [who was] from Nazareth [town], has authorized [MTY] me [to heal you! So get up and] walk!”
Dila Bitrus yiki cilfa kange mwiin, kange nai mi mani ciko, Dila dike min cikeu co manetiye. mor den Yesu kristi bwe Nazaret, ya yam”.
7 Then Peter grasped the man’s right hand and helped him to stand up. Immediately the man’s feet and ankles became strong.
Bitrus tam kanceko cattiyero kunco nawo nawo naniceu kange kutile naniceu fiyam bikwan.
8 He jumped up and began to walk! Then he entered the Temple [area] with them, walking and leaping and praising God!
La kilendo kweni tari teryambo doken kuwabe kange Bitrus kange Yuwanna citi fuwai citi mwai ci ne kwama durkoti.
9 All the people [there] saw that man walking and praising God.
Nubo tou co yayambo, caklang kwama.
10 They recognized that he was the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate in the Temple [courtyard] and ask [people] for money! So all the people there were greatly amazed at what had happened to him.
Ciin nyimom ki coni kiyire nyilo lo wabi yoryori la ciin dim ki nyimanka ki dikero bweyeu.
11 As the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were so surprised [that they did not know what to think] So they ran to the two apostles at the place [in the Temple courtyard] that is called {that [people] call} Solomon’s Porch.
Kambo ci tamki kang Bitrus kange Yuwanna nubo kwarub kutauten ciinen, cunnge Tangilang sulemanu Cii ti nyimangi kambo ken.
12 When Peter saw that, he said to the crowd, “Fellow Israelites, (you should not be surprised about what has happened to this man!/why are you so surprised about what has happened to this man?) [RHQ] And you should not stare at us, either! You seem to [RHQ] think that the two of us enabled this man to walk because we [(exc)] ourselves are powerful or because we please God very much!
Kambo Bitrus to nyeri in cinya nubow kom nubo Israila yebwi kom nyimang tiye? Yebwi kom cii nyinenten duwenye, mumi nyo nyi dokco co ciya yambo tiye kibi kwan dorer nyer kaka'a ki luma nyak?
13 [So I will tell you what is really happening]. Our ancestors, including Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, worshipped God. And now he has greatly honored Jesus, who always served him. Your [leaders] brought Jesus [to the governor, Pilate], so that [his soldiers would kill him]. And [God considers that] in front of Pilate you [were the ones who rejected] Jesus [as your king], after Pilate had decided that he should release Jesus.
Kwama Ibrahim, kange Ishaku, kange yakubu kwama teebnyebe ne bwe cannya ceu durko Yesu co kom koweu takri ka nekenco kabum Bilatus wo noncwi naci nyam kang cinen neu.
14 [Although Jesus] always did what was right/just and good, you rejected him. [Pilate wanted to release him, but] you urgently asked Pilate to release (a murderer/someone who had killed people)!
Kom ko niwo wucakeu nii lumake nyori lakomki a nya kumen kang niwo twal dore.
15 [God considers that] you killed [Jesus], the one who gives people [eternal] life. But God has greatly honored him (by causing him to become alive again after he died/by raising him from the dead). Many of us saw [him after that, and now] we [(exc)] are telling [you] about it.
Kom twalum niwo ne dumetiyeu, wo kwama kunnyu tuweu, nye nyim nob neka bilenker dikero bwiyenen.
16 It is because [we two] trusted in what Jesus [MTY, PRS] [could do, that he] made this man, whom you see and know, strong again. Yes, it is because we [(exc)] trusted in Jesus that he has completely healed this man for all of you to see.”
na weu, bilenker ki dencer niwo kom toti takri kom nyimom kinco dende wo cifiya bikwaneu. Bileng mor Yesu neco luma ceko cike cok, kabum kumem.
17 “Now, my fellow-countrymen, I know that you and your leaders did that [to Jesus] because you [and they] did not know [that he was the Messiah].
Kebmibbo min nyimom kom mayeu mor bwini nyomka, kambo liyab kumeb maneu.
18 However, [your putting him to death] was what God had predicted that people would do. [Long ago] he told all the prophets [MTY] to write [what people would do to the Messiah. They wrote] that the Messiah, whom God [would send], would suffer [and die].
Dila gwam dikero kwama tokanyi nob tomangeb dukumemcembou ki, Kristi an nuwa dotange landim.
19 So, turn away from your sinful behavior and ask God [to help you] do what pleases [him], in order that he may completely forgive you for your sins.
Nawo yeu kom dubom bwirang ker kumero kom yilau dabe wam bwirang ke kumeu, wori kwama ywelkako fiye kwama wiyeu lam.
20 [If you do that], there will be times [when you will know that] the Lord [God is] helping [you]. And some day he will [again] send back [to earth] the Messiah, whom he appointed for you. That person is Jesus.
Na cii tomuu ki kristi wuro cii yokumen lan, Yesu.
21 Jesus must stay in heaven until the time when God will cause all that he has created to become new. Long ago God promised [to do that, and] he chose holy prophets to tell [that to people]. (aiōn g165)
Co wuro intam kang dii kwama a yoceu yaken lam tureni bo kacek kange dikero gwam dor dikero kwama toki fiyaco nyi nob tokkaker dukumer wucakeu. (aiōn g165)
22 For [example, the prophet] Moses said [this about the Messiah]: ‘The Lord (your God/the God whom you [worship]) will cause someone to become a prophet to tell you [God’s message. God will send him] as [he sent] me, [and he will be] from among your own people. You must listen to everything that this prophet tells you [and obey him] [SYN].
Musa tok bilenker yiki Tee kwama an kunkumen kange nii ker dukumer na mo mor kebkumebo. kam nuwa dike cayikomtiyeu gwam.
23 [Those who] do not listen to [that prophet and obey] him will no longer belong to God’s people, and [God] will get rid of them’.”
An yilam niwo nuwabo nii ker dukumer wurori ciiyan tungumco ciko win nubo locem
24 [Peter continued], “All the prophets have told [about what would happen during] the time [MTY] [in which we(inc) are living. Those prophets include] Samuel [and all the others who] later also spoke [about these events] before they happened.
Nyo nob ker dukumebo terti dor samailar kange burom bou bwiko cekeu cin tokker ciin cwungkang kumetinimbo wuro.
25 You [as well as we(exc)] are the people [to whom God sent the Messiah, as] the prophets said [MTY] [that he would]. And when God strongly promised [to bless] our ancestors, he also surely promised to bless you. He said to Abraham [concerning the Messiah], ‘[I] will bless all people on the earth as a result of [what] your descendant [will do].’”
Kom bibei nob kerdukumerowo kange noroceu wo cima kange Tengwanub kumubeu, kambo ciyi Ibrahim mor tueluwe dor bitiner gwam ciyan fiya bibwiyer.
26 [Peter concluded], “[So] when God sent [to the earth] (Jesus, the one who always obeys him/his servant Jesus), he sent him first to you [Israelites] to bless you. [God will] enable you to stop doing what is wicked [and to start doing what pleases him].”
kambo kwama kun nyum bwe tomange ceri ci ter tomangekaco kumen wori nekom bibwiyer kambo yilam kikom fiya maka bwirankerer.
