Jesu Tondiba Tuona 13

1 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.

Now at the church in Antioch there were certain prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon (who was called Niger), Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch), and Saul.

2 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.

As they were serving the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”

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

So after they had fasted and prayed, they laid their hands on them and sent them off.

4 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.

Being sent out by the Holy Spirit, the two of them went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus.

5 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.

When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. (They also had John as their assistant.)

6 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.

When they had gone across the island to Paphos, they came across a certain magician, a Jewish false prophet named Bar-Jesus.

7 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.

He was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man, who summoned Barnabas and Saul, seeking to hear the word of God.

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

But the magician Elymas (for that is what his name means) opposed them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.

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

But Saul, also known as Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at Elymas

10 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?

and said, “O son of the devil, full of all deceit and all trickery, enemy of all righteousness, will yoʋ not cease perverting the straight paths of the Lord?

11 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.

And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is against yoʋ, and yoʋ will be blind, unable to see the sun for a period of time.” Immediately a mist and darkness fell upon him, and he was going around seeking people to lead him by the hand.

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

When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for he was astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

13 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.

Then Paul and his companions set sail from Paphos and went to Perga in Pamphylia, but John left them and returned to Jerusalem.

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

Continuing on from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia. On the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down.

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

After the reading of the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent them a message, saying, “Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak it.”

16 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.

Standing up, Paul motioned with his hand and said, “Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.

17 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,

The God of this people chose our fathers and exalted the people during their sojourn in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm he led them out of that country.

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

For about forty years, he put up with them in the wilderness,

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

and after destroying seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave his people their land as an inheritance.

20 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.

After that he gave them judges for about four hundred and fifty years, up to the time of the prophet Samuel.

21 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.

Then the people asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, who reigned for forty years.

22 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.

After removing Saul, God raised up David as their king, about whom he testified, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse to be a man after my own heart; he will do all that I want him to do.’

23 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.

From this man's offspring God brought salvation to Israel, according to his promise,

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

after John had first preached a baptism of repentance to Israel in advance of the coming Savior.

25 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.

Now as John was completing his course, he said, ‘Who do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, one is coming after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’

26 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.

“Brothers, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you the message of this salvation has been sent.

27 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.

Since those who dwell in Jerusalem, along with their rulers, failed to recognize this man and the voices of the prophets that are read every Sabbath, they fulfilled their words by condemning him.

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

Even though they found no grounds for a death sentence, they asked Pilate to have him killed.

29 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.

When they had fulfilled all that was written about him, they took him down from the cross and laid him in a tomb.

30 Ama U Tienu den fiini O bi tinpkiba siiga.

But God raised him from the dead,

31 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.

and for many days he was seen by those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.

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

And we preach to you the good news that what God promised to our fathers, he has fulfilled to us, their children, by raising up Jesus,

33 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.

just as it is written in the second Psalm, ‘Yoʋ are my son; today I have begotten yoʋ.’

34 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.

As for the fact that he raised him from the dead, no longer to return to corruption, God has spoken in this way: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.’

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

Therefore it also says in another place: ‘Yoʋ will not let yoʋr Holy One see corruption.’

36 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.

For when David had served God's purpose in his own generation, he fell asleep, was added to his fathers, and saw corruption.

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

But he whom God raised up did not see corruption.

38 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,

Therefore let it be known to you, brothers, that through this man remission of sins is proclaimed to you,

39 yua n tuo ki daani kuli pia li moamoansaali.

and by this man everyone who believes is set free from everything from which you could not be set free by the law of Moses.

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

So beware that what is said in the prophets does not happen to you:

41 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.

‘Behold, you scoffers, be amazed and perish, for I am doing a work in your days that you will certainly not believe, even if someone tells you about it.’”

42 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.

Now as Paul and Barnabas were going out from the synagogue of the Jews, the Gentiles were urging them to speak about these things on the next Sabbath.

43 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.

And when the meeting of the synagogue was dispersed, many of the Jews and the devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them and persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

44 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.

On the following Sabbath, nearly the entire city was gathered together to hear the word of God.

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

But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began to contradict what Paul was saying, opposing him and slandering him.

46 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)

But Paul and Barnabas spoke boldly, saying, “It was necessary for the word of God to be spoken first to you. But since you are rejecting it and do not judge yourselves to be worthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)

47 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.

For this is what the Lord has commanded us: ‘I have appointed yoʋ to be a light to the Gentiles, so that yoʋ may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.’”

48 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)

When the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord, and all who were appointed to eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)

49 o Diedo maama den yayadi laa diema nni kuli.

So the word of the Lord spread throughout that entire region.

50 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.

But the Jews incited the devout women of high standing and the prominent men of the city. They stirred up persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their region.

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

But Paul and Barnabas shook off the dust from their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.

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

And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
