Dɔwɔwɔwo 14
1 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.
And it came to pass in Iconium at this time, they came together into the synagogue of the Jews, and spoke in such a manner, that a great multitude both of the Jews and Greeks believed.
2 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.
But the unbelieving Jews stirred up and poisoned the minds of the Gentiles against the brethren.
3 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.
Then indeed preaching boldly in behalf of the Lord, witnessing to the word of His grace, giving signs and wonders to be wrought by their hands, they spent much time.
4 Dua me tɔwo ma ɖe akpa eve, ɖewo nɔ Yudatɔwo ƒe dumegãwo yome eye ɖewo hã nɔ apostoloawo yome.
And the multitude of the city was divided: and some indeed were with the Jews, and some with the apostles.
5 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.
And when there was a conspiracy of both Gentiles and Jews along with their leaders, to insult and stone them,
6 Esi Apostoloawo se nya sia la, wosi dzo le dua me heyi Likaonia ƒe duwo, Listra kple Derbe nutowo me,
recognizing it, they fled into the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and the surrounding country;
7 eye wogblɔ nyanyui la le teƒe mawo hã.
and there they preached the gospel.
8 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.
And there was a certain man sitting there in Lystra, impotent in his feet, being lame from the womb of his mother, who never did walk about.
9 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,
He heard Paul speaking, who fixing his attention on him, and seeing that he had faith to be saved,
10 eya ta Paulo yɔe gblɔ be, “Tsi tsitre!” Le gbeɖeɖe sia nu la, ŋutsu la ti kpo, eye wòde asi azɔlizɔzɔ me.
said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and continued to walk around.
11 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!”
And the multitudes seeing what Paul did, lifted up their voice, in Lycaonic, saying, The gods having assumed the likeness of men have come down to us:
12 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.
and they were calling Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, since he was the leader of the speech.
13 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.
And the priest of Jupiter, being in front of the city, having brought oxen and garlands to the gate, wished to offer sacrifices to them, along with the multitudes.
14 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,
And the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, hearing, rending their garments, rushed into the crowd, crying out, and saying,
15 “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.
Men, why are you doing these things? We are also men of like suffering with you, preaching the gospel to you that you should turn from these vanities to the living God, who created the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things which are in them:
16 Tsã la, Mawu ɖe asi le dukɔ ɖe sia ɖe ŋu wòwɔ nu si dze eŋu.
who in bygone generations, suffered all nations to walk in their own ways;
17 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.”
indeed he did not leave himself without witnesses, doing good, giving to you the rains from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.
18 Togbɔ be woɖe nya me na ameawo alea hã la, esesẽ hafi wozi wo dzi be womete ŋu sa vɔ la na wo o.
And speaking these things they scarcely restrained the multitude from offering sacrifices to them.
19 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.
But the Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and having persuaded the multitudes, stoned Paul, dragged him out of the city, thinking that he was dead;
20 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.
but, the disciples having surrounded him, rising up, he came into the city. And on the following day he came with Barnabas into Derbe;
21 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,
and preaching the gospel to that city, and making many disciples, they returned into Lystra, and into Iconium, and into Antioch,
22 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.”
strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to abide in the faith, and it behooves them through many tribulations to enter into the kingdom of God.
23 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.
And electing elders for them in every church, praying with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.
24 Azɔ woyi woƒe mɔzɔzɔ dzi to Pisidia nuto me va ɖo Pamfilia alo Terki.
And having come through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia.
25 Wogagblɔ nya le Perga hã hafi tso eme yi Atalia.
And having spoken the word in Perge, they came down into Attalia;
26 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.
and thence they sailed away into Antioch, whence they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they fulfilled.
27 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.
And arriving, and convening the church, they reported so many things as God did with them, and that He opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
28 Paulo kple Barnabas tsi Antioxia henɔ xɔsetɔawo gbɔ ɣeyiɣi didi aɖe.
And they spent no small time with the disciples.
