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].
Pieli leni Jan den caa uTIENU diegu po i jaandi yogunu: li den tie li yenlebidili yogunu.
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.
li den pia joa yua n mali ki tie wabo, ke bi den tugi ki caani o u yogunu kuli u TIENU diegu buliǹoabu yaabu n yi bu buliǹoaŋanbu. ke wan ya miadi yaaba n koa u TIENU diegu nni.
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!”)
laa joa n den la Pieli leni Jan ke bi ba kua u TIENU diegu nni o den mia ba bu miabu
4 As Peter and John looked directly at him, Peter said to him, “Look at us!”
Pieli leni Jan den noanli o ki yedi: noanli ti.
5 So he looked directly at them, expecting to get some [money] from them.
lani o den noanli ba ki tama ke o ba baa bikani bonla ba.
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!”
Lani Pieli den yedi o: mii pia ligi, mii pia wula mo, ama min pia yaala n puni a la: jesu kilisiti nasaleti yua yeli po, fii ki ya cuoni.
7 Then Peter grasped the man’s right hand and helped him to stand up. Immediately the man’s feet and ankles became strong.
Lani o den cuo o jienu ki fiini o. lanyogumu o taana leni o tuga kuli den paagi.
8 He jumped up and began to walk! Then he entered the Temple [area] with them, walking and leaping and praising God!
O den yugi ki sedi yenma ki ji cuoni. O den yegi leni ba ki kua u TIENU diegu nni ki cuoni ki yugi ki ciina ki pagi U TIENU.
9 All the people [there] saw that man walking and praising God.
Bi niba kuli den laa o ke o cuoni ki pagi u TIENU.
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.
Bi den bandi ke li tie yua n den kaa u TIENU diegu buliǹoaŋanbu kani ki miadi mi todima, li paki cianli den cuo ba leni yaala n tieni o.
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.
Nani wan ki den tabidi Pieli leni Jan, li pakili den cuo bi niba kuli ke bi sani ki gedi bikani Salomono ciagu kani.
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!
Pieli n den la laa bonla, o den yedi ku niligu: yinba Isalele yaaba, be yaapo ke yaali n tieni ne paki yi? be yaapo ke yi nua ti nani li tie tinba n teni ke o joa na cuoni kelima ti paalu po yaka kelima tin fangi u TIENU maama yaa po?
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.
Abalahama, Isaaka leni Jakoabo TIENU, wani ti yaajanba TIENU, den kpiagi o nacemo Jesu, yin den yie yua yeli ki go teni o Pilata, yua n den jagi ke ban ŋa o.
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)!
yi den yie wani o nigagidiŋamo leni o niteginkoa, ki den mia ban faabi yi po o nikpalo.
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.
Yi dn ku li miali ya diedo, u TIENU n den fiini yua bi tinkpiba siiga; ti tie siedinba laa bonla po.
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.”
Li tie li dandanli Jesu yeli po n teni ke ya joa n tie na, yin nua ki go bani yua, pagi kelima Jesu yeli po. Li tie li dandanli wani Jesu po n teni ke o joa ne paagi cain yikuli nintuali.
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].
moala n kpiiba, n bani ke yinba leni yi yudanba den tieni lankuli kelima yii den bani yin tieni yaala.
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].
AMa u TIENU den kuani yeni, wan den tuodi ki teni ke o sawalipuaba pua sawali ki waani yaala. Lani n tie ke wan gandi yua den ba la fala.
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.
Lebidi mani yi yama ki daani u TIENU ke wan duuni ki ǹani yipo yi tuonbiadi,
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.
lanwani o diedo ba cuani mi fuodima yogini, ki soani Jesu kilisiti wan den tuodi wan den tuodi ki jagi ke o ba soani yipo yua.
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)
Wani Jesu ba ye tanpoli ŋali li yogunu n ba ti pundi ke u TIENU baa guani ki ŋanbi li bonkla kuli nani wan den tuodi ki teni ke o sawalipuaba yaaba n gagidi pua sawali ki yedi yaala ŋali yogu. (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].
Muusa den yedi: li miali Diedo yi TIENU baa fiini yi buolu siiga o sawalipuali nani mini yeni; yin cengi mani wan ba yedi yi yaala kuli.
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’.”
lanwani yua n yie o kan cengi laa sawalipulo kuli bi ba ǹani o uTIENU niba siiga ki bolini o.
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.
Ki cili Samueli leni bi sawalipuaba yaaba n ŋoadi o ki soagini u TIENU maama kuli, den tuodi ki waani ya dana n tie na maama fuuli.
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].’”
Yi tie bi sawalipuaba bijaba leni wan go den kuani ya ŋantaado leni ti yaajanba, ki yedi Abalahama: ŋanduna nibuoli kuli ba baa li seli kelima a puoli ŋuani yaa po.
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].”
u TIENU den fiini o nacemo Jesu ki kpa soani o yinba yaa kani ke wan seligi yi ki teni yuakuli n lebidi ki ŋa o tuonbiadi.
