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.
In Iconium, they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and of 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 disbelieving Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers.
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.
Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders 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.
But the multitude of the city was divided. Part sided with the Jews and part 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.
When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat 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 became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.
7 eye wogblɔ nyanyui la le teƒe mawo hã.
There they preached the Good News.
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.
At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had 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,
He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,
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!” 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!”
When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down 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.
They called Barnabas “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.
The priest of Jupiter, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have made a sacrifice 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,
But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes and sprang into 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.
“Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of the same nature as you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;
16 Tsã la, Mawu ɖe asi le dukɔ ɖe sia ɖe ŋu wòwɔ nu si dze eŋu.
who in the generations gone by allowed 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.”
Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky 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.
Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a sacrifice 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 some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing 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 as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out 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,
When they had preached the Good News to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and 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 continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.
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.
When they had appointed elders for them in every assembly, and had prayed 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.
They passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.
25 Wogagblɔ nya le Perga hã hafi tso eme yi Atalia.
When they had 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.
From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had 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.
When they had arrived and had gathered the assembly together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.
28 Paulo kple Barnabas tsi Antioxia henɔ xɔsetɔawo gbɔ ɣeyiɣi didi aɖe.
They stayed there with the disciples for a long time.
