Acts 14
1 And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.
Abe ale si wowɔnɛ le afi sia afi si woyi ene la, Paulo kple Barnabas gayi Yudatɔwo ƒe ƒuƒoƒe le Ikonio hã, eye wogblɔ nya kple ŋusẽ tɔxɛ aɖe, ale be ame geɖe siwo nye Yudatɔwo kple Helatɔwo siaa trɔ zu xɔsetɔwo.
2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds evil affected against the brethren.
Ke Yudatɔ siwo medina be yewoaxɔ Mawu ƒe ɖeɖenya sia dzi ase o la, gblɔ nya baɖa ƒomevi geɖewo ɖe wo nɔviawo ŋu. Wowɔ esia be ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo o la nagaxɔ woƒe nyawo dzi ase o.
3 A long time therefore they abode speaking boldly in the Lord, who gave testimony to the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
Esia hã meɖe dzi le Paulo kple Barnabas ƒo kura o, ke boŋ wonɔ dua me hegblɔ amenuvevenya kple dzideƒo ɣeyiɣi didi aɖe. Aƒetɔ la na ŋusẽ wo wowɔ nukunu kple dzesi geɖewo be yewoafia kɔtɛe be eƒe nya la kakam yewole vavã.
4 But the multitude of the city was divided: and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.
Dua me tɔwo ma ɖe akpa eve, ɖewo nɔ Yudatɔwo ƒe dumegãwo yome eye ɖewo hã nɔ apostoloawo yome.
5 And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them,
Ke ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo o, kpakple Yudatɔwo kple woƒe dumegãwo wɔ ɖoɖo be yewoadze Paulo kple Barnabas dzi aƒu kpe wo, awɔ nu vevi wo.
6 Being aware of it, they fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding region:
Esi Apostoloawo se nya sia la, wosi dzo le dua me heyi Likaonia ƒe duwo, Listra kple Derbe nutowo me,
7 And there they preached the gospel.
eye wogblɔ nyanyui la le teƒe mawo hã.
8 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother’s womb, who had never walked:
Le Listra la, ŋutsu aɖe le anyinɔƒe, ame si metea ŋu tsia tsitre o, eye wònye tekunɔ tso dadaa ƒe dɔ me ke; mezɔ azɔli kpɔ o.
9 The same heard Paul speak: who steadfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed,
Ame sia ɖo to Paulo esi wònɔ nu ƒom na ameawo. Paulo li ŋku ɖe edzi gãa, eye wòkpɔ be xɔse le esi na dɔyɔyɔ,
10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.
eya ta Paulo yɔe gblɔ be, “Tsi tsitre!” Le gbeɖeɖe sia nu la, ŋutsu la ti kpo, eye wòde asi azɔlizɔzɔ me.
11 And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men.
Esi ameha la kpɔ nukunu si Paulo wɔ la, wodo ɣli le Likaoniagbe me be “Mawuawo ɖi va mía gbɔ le amegbetɔ ƒe nɔnɔme me!”
12 And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, because he was the chief speaker.
Le woƒe nuwɔnawo ta la, wona ŋkɔ Barnabas be Zeus, eye woyɔ Paulo be Hermes, elabena eyae nye ame si nɔ nu ƒom geɖe wu.
13 Then the priest of Jupiter, who was before their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.
Enumake Zeus ƒe trɔ̃nua si ƒe nɔƒe le dua godo la tsɔ seƒoƒowo kple nunanawo fũu vɛ, eye wòwɔ dzadzraɖo be yeawu nyitsu gã aɖe atsɔ asa vɔe na wo le dua ƒe agbowo nu le ameha la ŋkume.
14 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they tore their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,
Ke esi apostoloawo, Barnabas kple Paulo see la, wodze woƒe awuwo, eye woƒu du ge ɖe ameawo dome eye wodo ɣli gblɔ na wo be,
15 And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach to you that ye should turn from these vanities to the living God, who made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them:
“Mía tɔwo, nu kae nye busunu sia wɔm miele? Míawo hã amegbetɔwo ko míenye abe miawo ke ene. Ɖe míeva be míagblɔ nyanyui sia na mi be miadzudzɔ nu maɖinu siawo tɔgbi subɔsubɔ, eye miado gbe ɖa na Mawu gbagbe si wɔ dziƒo kple anyigba kple atsiaƒu kple nu siwo katã le eme la boŋ.
16 Who in times past allowed all nations to walk in their own ways.
Tsã la, Mawu ɖe asi le dukɔ ɖe sia ɖe ŋu wòwɔ nu si dze eŋu.
17 Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.
Ke hã la, medzudzɔ ɖaseɖiɖi tso eɖokui ŋuti o, elabena ewɔa nu nyuiwo na mí; enaa tsidzadza mí tso dziƒo kple nuƒãɣiwo kpakple nuŋeɣiwo, eye wòna nuɖuɖu geɖe mí hetsɔ dzidzɔ yɔ míaƒe dziwo me fũu.”
18 And with these sayings they scarce restrained the people, from doing sacrifice to them.
Togbɔ be woɖe nya me na ameawo alea hã la, esesẽ hafi wozi wo dzi be womete ŋu sa vɔ la na wo o.
19 And there came there certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.
Ke le ŋkeke ʋɛ aɖewo megbe la, Yudatɔ aɖewo gatso Antioxia kple Ikonio va do ɖe Listra, eye wogade ʋunyaʋunya dua me tɔwo me ɖe Paulo ŋu. Amehawo ho ɖe Paulo ŋu, ƒu kpee va se ɖe esime wòku ƒenyi, eye wohee do goe le dua me, elabena wobu be eku.
20 But, as the disciples stood around him, he rose, and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe.
Xɔsetɔwo kple nɔvinɔviwo va ƒo ƒu ɖe eŋu kasia, Paulo fɔ, wo katã wotrɔ yi Listra dua me, eye le ŋkeke evea gbe la, wo kple Barnabas wodzo yi Derbe.
21 And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch,
Wonɔ Derbe hegblɔ nyanyui la le afi ma ŋkeke ʋɛ aɖewo, eye ame geɖewo trɔ zu woƒe nusrɔ̃lawo. Emegbe la, wogatrɔ yi Listra, Ikonio kple Antioxia,
22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
eye wodo ŋusẽ xɔsetɔwo be woalé xɔse me ɖe asi. Wode dzi ƒo na xɔsetɔawo be, “Ele na mí be míato fukpekpe geɖewo me hafi age ɖe mawufiaɖuƒe la me.”
23 And when they had ordained for them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.
Paulo kple Barnabas ɖo hamemegãwo ɖe hame sia hame nu, eye wowɔ nutsitsidɔ kple gbedodoɖa hetsɔ ameawo de asi na Aƒetɔ si dzi woxɔ se.
24 And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.
Azɔ woyi woƒe mɔzɔzɔ dzi to Pisidia nuto me va ɖo Pamfilia alo Terki.
25 And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia:
Wogagblɔ nya le Perga hã hafi tso eme yi Atalia.
26 And from there sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended from to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.
Mlɔeba la, woɖo tɔdziʋu tso Atalia hetrɔ va ɖo Antioxia, afi si wodze woƒe mɔzɔzɔ gɔme le. Afi siae wobia Mawu ƒe amenuveve na wo, ku ɖe dɔ si nu wowu fifia la ŋu.
27 And when they had come, and had gathered the church together, they reported all that God had done with them, and that he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
Esi wogbɔ va ɖo Antioxia la, woyɔ xɔsetɔawo katã ƒo ƒu hegblɔ nu gã siwo Mawu wɔ kpli wo la na wo. Wogblɔ ale si Mawu ʋu xɔse ƒe mɔ na ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo o la hã na ameawo.
28 And there they abode a long time with the disciples.
Paulo kple Barnabas tsi Antioxia henɔ xɔsetɔawo gbɔ ɣeyiɣi didi aɖe.
