Acts 13

1 Now there were in Antioch, in the Church there--as Prophets and teachers--barnabas, Symeon surnamed 'the black,' Lucius the Cyrenaean, Manaen (who was Herod the Tetrarch's foster-brother), and Saul.

Kilisiti n yini yaaba yaaba n ye Antiosa den pia bi sawalipuaba leni bi bangikaaba. Bi yela den tie Banabasa, Simeyono ke bi go yi o Nijeli, (lani n tie o niboano), leni silena yua Lusiyusa, leni Manayena yua n den taani ki fandi leni Elodo leni Solo.

2 While they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for Me, now at once, Barnabas and Saul, for the work to which I have called them."

Ban den taani ki jaandi O Diedo ki luo buñoabu U Tienu Fuoma Yua den yedi: Gagidi mani n po Banabasa leni Solo ke ban yaa tuuni min yini ba yaa tuonli po.

3 So, after fasting and prayer and the laying on of hands, they let them go.

Lane, bango den loli buñoabu ki jaandi ki mia U Tienu, bi den maani bii bi jaba yeni po ki cabiba ke bi gedi.

4 They therefore, being thus sent out by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleuceia, and from there sailed to Cyprus.

U Tienu Fuoma Yua den soani Banabasa leni Solo yeni ke bi gedi Selusi dogu nni ki kua ku ñinbiagu nni ki duodi ki gedi Sipila kpendegili po.

5 Having reached Salamis, they began to announce God's Message in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John as their assistant.

Ban den pundi Salamina dogu nni, bi den wangi U Tienu maama li bali maama bagima diena nni, jufinba n den taagigi naankani. Bi den pia Jan ke o tie bi todika.

6 When they had gone through the whole length of the island as far as Paphos, they there met with a Jewish magician and false prophet, Bar-Jesus by name,

Bi den goagoadi li kpendegili yeni nni kuli ki ban pundi pafoso dogu nni, bi den la o buligbandaano ke o tie jufi sawali-pua faadaano ke bi yi o Bali Jesu.

7 who was a friend of the Proconsul Sergius Paulus. The Proconsul was a man of keen intelligence. He sent for Barnabas and Saul, and asked to be told God's Message.

O den ye leni gufeneli Sejiyusa Polusa. Gufeneli yeni den tie yanfodaano. O den yini Banabasa leni Solo, ki waani ke o pia li yankuali U Tienu maama gbadima po.

8 But Elymas (or 'the Magician,' for such is the meaning of the name) opposed them, and tried to prevent the Proconsul from accepting the faith.

Ama Elimasa o buligbandaano, den yie bi po, ki moandi ke gufeneli n da tuo li dandanli.

9 Then Saul, who is also called Paul, was filled with the Holy Spirit, and, fixing his eyes on Elymas,

Lane Solo Ban go yi yua Polo, yuan gbie leni U Tienu Fuomi Yua, den noali o

10 said, "You who are full of every kind of craftiness and unscrupulous cunning--you son of the Devil and foe to all that is right--will you never cease to misrepresent the straight paths of the Lord?

ki yedi o: Fini yua n gbie leni bu nunfanbiadibu kuli leni i janbi buoli kuli, ki tie Sutaani bijua, ki tie mi teginma kuli yibali, a kancedi ki da goli ni O Diedo janjaga?

11 The Lord's hand is now upon you, and you will be blind for a time and unable to see the light of day." Instantly there fell upon him a mist and a darkness, and, as he walked about, he begged people to lead him by the hand.

Moala o Diedo baa pua ŋa ŋan tua juamo ki kan la u yienu hali danaba. Lanyugunu liga Elimasa nuni den biigi ke o juani cain. O ji den baaliti ki lingi yua n baa dadi o.

12 Then the Proconsul, seeing what had happened, believed, being struck with amazement at the teaching of the Lord.

Gufeneeli n den laa yaala n tieni yeni, o den daani kelima o Diedo maama bangima n den cuo maama po.

13 From Paphos, Paul and his party put out to sea and sailed to Perga in Pamphylia. John, however, left them and returned to Jerusalem.

Polo leni o yegi nin lieba den ñani Pafoso ki kua ku ñin biagu nni ki doni ki gedi Panfili diema ki pundi mi dogu peja. Jan den paadi lenba ki guani Jelusalema.

14 But they themselves, passing through from Perga, came to Antioch in Pisidia. Here, on the Sabbath day, they went into the synagogue and sat down.

Bi den fii Peja ki suagi pundi Pisdi ya Antiosa. Mi den kua li balimaama bangima dieli nni ki kali.

15 After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the Wardens of the synagogue sent word to them. "Brethren," they said, "if you have anything encouraging to say to the people, speak."

Ban den cogi li balimaama leni bi sawalipuaba maama ki gbeni, Li balimaama bangima dieli yu danba den soani ban yediba:

16 So Paul rose, and motioning with his hand for silence, said, "Israelites, and you others who fear God, pay attention to me.

polo den fii ki tia ba u nuu ke bi suo, ke o yedi ba: Isalele yaaba leni yinba yaa nilanba n huadi U Tienu ki fangi o kuli, cengi mani.

17 The God of this people of Israel chose our forefathers, and made the people great during their stay in Egypt, until with wondrous power He brought them out from that land.

Isalele yaaba Tienu den gandi ti yaajanba, ki teni ke biyabidi ban den ye Ejipiti diema nni yaa yogunu. O den ñani ba mi niinni leni o paaciamu,

18 For a period of about forty years, He fed them, like a nurse, in the Desert.

ki juuni leni ba mi fanpienma nni ke li bua ki pundi bina piina.

19 Then, after overthrowing seven nations in the land of Canaan, He divided that country among them as their inheritance for about four hundred and fifty years;

Lani yaa puoli o den bolini nilanbuolil lele kanaana diema nni ki puni o nibuolu ke u diedi mi diema.

20 and afterwards He gave them judges down to the time of the Prophet Samuel.

Laa bina kuli coali den bua ki yaa tie kobinaa n bina piimuu. Lani yaa puoli U Tienu den teni ke bi bujiaba diedi ba hali ki pundi o sawalipualo Samieli yogunu.

21 Next they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a Benjamite, who reigned forty years.

Lani bi den mia o bado, ke U Tienu den dini bi po Kisa bijua Sayula, Benjemina buolu yua, ke o tua bi bado ki die ba bina piina.

22 After removing him, He raised up David to be their king, to whom He also bore witness when He said, "'I have found David the son of Jesse, a man I love, who will obey all My commands.'

U Tienu den dindi o ki gandi bi po Dafidi ki dini o li bali ki tieni o po yaa siedi n tiena: N laa ke Isayi bijua Dafidi tie yaa ja n tie n pali n bua maama ki baa tiedi n yanbuama kuli.

23 "It is from among David's descendants that God, in fulfilment of His promise, has raised up a Saviour for Israel, even Jesus.

U Tienu den tieni wan den niani ya ñoania nu ki teni ke bi mali Jesu ke o tie Dafidi puoli huanu ki tie candaano Isalele buolu yaaba po.

24 Before the coming of Jesus, John had proclaimed to all the people of Israel a baptism of repentance.

Hali ke Jesu daa cua, Jan den wangi Isalele yaaba kuli ke ban lebidi bi yama wan batisi ba.

25 But John, towards the end of his career, repeatedly asked the people, "'What do you suppose me to be? I am not the Christ. But there is One coming after me whose sandal I am not worthy to unfasten.'

Jan tuonli n den bua ki gbeni o den yedi: Mii tie yin tama yua ka, diidi ki le mani, nitoa baa cua n puoli yua ke mii pundi baa ki lodi o cacaagbansiama.

26 "Brethren, descendants of the family of Abraham, and all among you who fear God, to us has this Message of salvation been sent.

N kpiiba, yinba Abalahama puolihuani leni yi siiga yaa nilanba n hoadi U Tienu ki fangi o kuli, li tie tinba yaapo yo ke U Tienu soani O tondu, yu n tie O tindima maama fuuli.

27 For the people of Jerusalem and their rulers, by the judgement they pronounced on Jesus, have actually fulfilled the predictions of the Prophets which are read Sabbath after Sabbath, through ignorance of those predictions and of Him.

Jelusalema dotieba leni bi yudanba naa den bandi Jesu n tie yua, baa go den ga bi sawalipuaba maama, ban maani ki cogi yaama mi fuodima daali kuli moko. Ban den jia Jesu buudi bi den kuani laa maama den yedi yaala ki dudi.

28 Without having found Him guilty of any capital offence they urged Pilate to have Him put to death;

Baa ke baa den laa ke Jesu tieni yaala n bia ki pundi mi kuuma, bi den mia Pilata wan teni ban kpa o.

29 and when they had carried out everything which had been written about Him, they took Him down from the cross and laid Him in a tomb.

Ban den kuani i diani n den maadi o po ya maama kuli ki dudi bi den joandi o ku daagu po, ki ban duani o li kakuli nni.

30 "But God raised Him from the dead.

Ama U Tienu den fiini O bi tinpkiba siiga.

31 And, after a few days, He appeared to the people who had gone up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem and are now witnesses concerning Him to the Jews.

O den doagidi O yuli dana boncianla yaaba den taani ki ñani Galile ki yegi leni O ki gedi Jelusalema po. Moala bi tie siedinba Isalele yaaba po.

32 And we bring you the Good News about the promise made to our forefathers,

Tinba tiba wangi yi laa laabaalihamo. U Tienu n den niani ti yajanba ya ñoanianu,

33 that God has amply fulfilled it to our children in raising up Jesus; as it is also written in the second Psalm, 'Thou art My Son: to-day I have become Thy Father.'

O kuani u tinba yaaba n tie bi puolihuani yeni po, ki fiini Jesu bi tinpkiba siiga. Li diani pisoma tili nni diani lie kani ya maama n tie na: A tie n Bijua, Mini n mali a dinla.

34 And as to His having raised Him from among the dead, never again to be in the position of one soon to return to decay, He speaks thus: 'I will give you the holy and trustworthy promises made to David.'

O den fiini Jesu bi tinkpiba siiga ke O kan go bedi hali abada. O den maadi lani yaapo yo wan den yedi: N ba pa yi min den niani Dafidi yaa sela, yaa n gagidi ki hani, ki kan gbali tienma.

35 Because in another Psalm also He says, 'Thou wilt not give up Thy Holy One to undergo decay.'

Lani yaapo O go yedi kaanto: A kan tuo ke A nigagidihamo n bedi,

36 For David, after having been useful to his own generation in accordance with God's purpose, did fall asleep, was gathered to his forefathers, and did undergo decay.

to, Dafidi n den tieni U Tienu n den jagi ki bili o po yaala o nifiima siiga, o den kpe ke bi piini o ke o taani leni o baanba ki bedi.

37 But He whom God raised to life underwent no decay.

Ama U Tienu n deni fiini yua bi tinkpiba siiga yeni, waa bedi.

38 "Understand therefore, brethren, that through this Jesus forgiveness of sins is announced to you;

Lanwani n kpiiba, yin bandi cain ke li tie wani Jesu ya po ke bi wangi yi ti tuonbiadi sugili maama. Musa balimaama naa den fidi ki teni ke yi ba li moamoansaali. Ama kelima Jesu ya po,

39 and in Him every believer is absolved from all offences, from which you could not be absolved under the Law of Moses.

yua n tuo ki daani kuli pia li moamoansaali.

40 Beware, then, lest what is spoken in the Prophets should come true of you:

Lani yaa po fangi mani yi yula ke bi sawalipuaba n den yedi ya maama n da baa yipo:

41 'Behold, you despisers, be astonished and perish, because I am carrying on a work in your time--a work which you will utterly refuse to believe, though it be fully declared to you.'"

Diidi mani, yinba li ñuali danba, li pakili n cuo yi, yin bodi mani, kelima n ba tieni li bonla yi dana nni, ya bonla ke yi kan bi tuo ki gaa ke li tie moamoani. Baa bi ya togidi yi la.

42 As Paul and Barnabas were leaving the synagogue, the people earnestly begged to have all this repeated to them on the following Sabbath.

Polo leni Banabasa n den ñani, bi niba den mia ba ke ban gua ki maadi bipo laa maama mi fuodima daali yaali n hua.

43 And, when the congregation had broken up, many of the Jews and of the devout converts from heathenism continued with Paul and Barnabas, who talked to them and urged them to hold fast to the grace of God.

Li nitaanli yeni yaaba n den yadi, Jufina boncianba leni ya nilanba n den lebidi ki hoadi U Tienu nani Jufinba yeni den hoadi Polo leni Banabasa. Bi go den maadi leni ba ki tundi ba ke ban ya se U Tienu hanbili nni.

44 On the next Sabbath almost the whole population of the city came together to hear the Lord's Message.

U Tienu fuodima daali yaali n hua, li den bua ki tua nani u dogu yaaba kuli n den taani ki ba cengi o Diedo maama.

45 Seeing the crowds, the Jews, filled with angry jealousy, opposed Paul's statements and abused him.

Jufinba n den laa ku niligu yeni, li nunponli den cuo ba boncianla ke bi sugidi Polo ki nia wan yedi yaala.

46 Then, throwing off all reserve, Paul and Barnabas said, "We were bound to proclaim God's Message to you first. But since you spurn it and judge yourselves to be unworthy of the Life of the Ages--well, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)

Polo leni Banabasa den paagi bi pala ki yedi ba: Li den tie tiladi ke U Tienu maama n kpa pundi yinba ya kani, ama kelima yi yie yi ga ma, yi nua ke yii pundi ki baa ya miali n kan gbeni. Lani yaapo ti ba lebidi ki gedi bi nilanba po. (aiōnios g166)

47 For such is the Lord's command to us. "'I have placed Thee,' He says of Christ, 'as a light to the Gentiles, in order that Thou mayest be a Saviour as far as the remotest parts of the earth.'"

Kelima o Diedo puogi ti ki yedi ya maama n tie na: N gandi a ke han tua mi yenma i nibuoli po. Ke han ya caani mi faabima yaaba n ye hali handuna banlu kuli po.

48 The Gentiles listened with delight and extolled the Lord's Message; and all who were pre-destined to the Life of the Ages believed. (aiōnios g166)

Bi nilanba n den gbadi mi naa maama, bi pala den mangi ke bi pagi o Diedo maama. U Tienu den n gandi yaaba ke ban ba ya miali n kan gbeni kuli den tuo ki daani. (aiōnios g166)

49 So the Lord's Message spread through the whole district.

o Diedo maama den yayadi laa diema nni kuli.

50 But the Jews influenced the gentlewomen of rank who worshipped with them, and also the leading men in the city, and stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas and drove them out of the district.

Ama Jufinba den moandi ki fiini ya puoba n tie bi nilanba ki pia ti kpiagidi pala, bani yaaba n lebidi bi sanŋoadima ki ŋoadi U Tienu nani Jufinba yeni, leni u dogu nicianba kuli pala. Bi den fiini bi niba pala ke bi faligi Polo leni Banabasa ki deli ki ñani ba bi diema nni.

51 But they shook off the dust from their feet as a protest against them and came to Iconium;

Polo leni Banabasa den kpia bi po bi taatama lan tua siedi bi tudima po, ki fii ki gedi Ikoniyuma dogu nni.

52 and as for the disciples, they were more and more filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.

ya ŋoadikaaba n den ye Antiosa po den ye leni li pamancianli ki go gbie leni U Tienu fuoma yua.
