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 at Iconium, that they went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and spoke in such a manner that a great multitude, both of the Jews and of the 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 the minds of the Gentiles, and filled them with malignity 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.
They, however, staid there a considerable time, speaking boldly for the Lord; who gave attestation to the word of his grace, and granted signs and miracles to be done by their hands.
4 Dua me tɔwo ma ɖe akpa eve, ɖewo nɔ Yudatɔwo ƒe dumegãwo yome eye ɖewo hã nɔ apostoloawo yome.
So the multitude of the city was divided; and some were with the Jews, and others 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.
But, as a violent attempt was made, both by the Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to assault and stone them;
6 Esi Apostoloawo se nya sia la, wosi dzo le dua me heyi Likaonia ƒe duwo, Listra kple Derbe nutowo me,
they, having received intelligence of it, fled to Lystra, and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the adjacent country:
7 eye wogblɔ nyanyui la le teƒe mawo hã.
and there they declared the glad tidings.
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.
Now, there was a certain man at Lystra, disabled in his feet; so lame, from his birth, that he had never walked.
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,
This man heard Paul speaking, who, fixing his eyes upon him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed;
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 your feet. And he leaped up, and walked.
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 multitude, seeing what Paul had done, lifted up their voices, saying, in the Lycaonian language, The gods are descended to us in the likeness of men.
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 Barnabas they called Jupiter, and Paul, Mercury, because he was the chief speaker.
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, whose image was before the city, brought oxen, with garlands, to the gates; and would, with the multitude, have offered sacrifice to them.
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,
But the Apostles, Barnabas and Paul, hearing of it, rent their mantles, and ran in among the multitude, crying out,
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.
and saying, Men, why do you these things? We are your fellow-mortals, and are declaring the glad tidings to you, that you may turn from these vanities to the living God; who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all living things which are in them:
16 Tsã la, Mawu ɖe asi le dukɔ ɖe sia ɖe ŋu wòwɔ nu si dze eŋu.
who, in former generations, permitted all the 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.”
though he did not leave himself without witness, doing good, and giving us showers of rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our 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, saying these things, they, with difficulty, restrained the people from sacrificing 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 Jews came thither from Antioch and Iconium, and persuaded the multitude; and having stoned Paul, they dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be 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, as the disciples were gathered about him, he rose up, and entered into the city; and the next day he departed, with Barnabas, to 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 having declared the gospel to that city, and made a considerable number of disciples; they returned to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to 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.”
confirming the souls of the disciples; exhorting them to continue in the faith, and testifying that it is necessary we should enter into the kingdom of God through many tribulations.
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 when they had constituted elders for them, in every congregation, having prayed to God, with fasting; they committed them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.
24 Azɔ woyi woƒe mɔzɔzɔ dzi to Pisidia nuto me va ɖo Pamfilia alo Terki.
And passing through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.
25 Wogagblɔ nya le Perga hã hafi tso eme yi Atalia.
And having spoken the word in Perga, they went down to 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 they sailed thence to Antioch, whence they had been recommended to the grace of God, for that work which they had accomplished.
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 when they were come thither, and had gathered the congregation together, they related what God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
28 Paulo kple Barnabas tsi Antioxia henɔ xɔsetɔawo gbɔ ɣeyiɣi didi aɖe.
And they spent a considerable time there with the disciples.
