Jesu Tondiba Tuona 2
1 Pantekoti daali ń pundi, bi kuli dentaani ki kaanyendu i.
On the day when [the Jews were celebrating the] Pentecost [festival], the [believers] were all together in one place [in Jerusalem].
2 Bi ti ludi ki gbadi ke fuugu ñani tanpoli ki nani faaciangu yeni, ki gbie ban bi ye ya dieli nni yeni kuli.
Suddenly [they heard] a noise [coming] from the sky [that sounded] like a strong wind. Everyone in the entire house where they were sitting heard the noise.
3 Ban la ke i landi tie nani mu yeni ki dɔgdi bi po, ki bɔgdi bɔgdi ki maani yuakuli po.
Then they saw [what looked] like flames of fire. These flames separated [from one another], and [one of them] came down on [the head of] each of the believers.
4 Bikuli ń gbie yeni mi foŋanma, ki ji cili ki ya maadi mi maalanma nani foŋanma ń puni ba ke ban maadi maama.
Then all of the believers were (completely controlled/empowered) by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit (completely controlled/empowered) all of the believers}, and he enabled them to begin speaking other languages [MTY] [that they had not learned].
5 Layognu, Juufinba yaaba daani U Tienu nni den ñani ŋanduna dogi nni kuli, ki cua ki dá ye Jerusalema.
At that time [many] Jews were staying in Jerusalem [to celebrate the Pentecost festival. They were people who] always tried to obey [the Jewish] laws. [They had come] from many different [HYP] countries.
6 Ban gbadi ku fuugu, ban taani ki sani ki cua, lan lidi ba yeni yuakuli ń gbia ke bi maadi o danba maama nni.
When they heard that [loud] noise [like a wind], a crowd came together [to the place where the believers were]. The crowd (was amazed/did not know what to think), because each of them was hearing [one of] the believers speaking in that person’s own language.
7 Bi den ye ku yaalidgu yeni li pamancianli nni; bi den maadi: “Ti ya ba maadi i mɔni, bani yaaba n maadi ne kuli ki tie Galile yaaba ka aa?
They were completely amazed, and they said [to each other], “All these men who are speaking have [RHQ] [always] resided in Galilee [district, so they would not know our languages].
8 Li nan tieni ledi i, ke ti gbia bi maama yuakuli danba maama nni?
([We(inc) do not understand] how these men can speak our own native languages!/How can these men speak our own native languages?) [RHQ] [But] all of us hear them [doing that]
9 Persi yaaba, Medesi yaaba yeni Elamiti yaaba yeni yaaba n kua Mesopotami, Jude diema nni, yeni Kapadɔsi, Pɔn yeni Asi,
[Some of us are from the regions of] Parthia and Media and Elam, and [others of us] reside [in the regions of] Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia.
10 Friji yeni Panfili, Ejipti nni yeni Libi dogi yia n ye Sireni po, yeni ya canba n ñani Roma ki cua,
There are some from Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the regions in Libya [that are] near Cyrene [city]. [There are others of us] who are [here] visiting [Jerusalem] from Rome.
11 Juufinba yeni Proselitinba, Kretan yeni Arabi yaaba, ti den gbia ke bi maadi ti danba maama nni U Tienu paaciamu tuonli”
[They include native] Jews as well as non-Jews who have accepted what we Jews believe. And others of us are from Crete [Island] and from [the region of] Arabia. [So how is it that these people] are speaking our languages [MTY], telling us [about] (the great/the mighty things) [that] God has done?”
12 Bi den ye li pamancianli nni kaa bani ban ba tieni yaali kuli; bi den maadi bi ŋmiali nni: “Ne mo ya niima nni nan ji tie be i?”
All [those people] were amazed, and did not know what to think [about what was happening]. So they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
13 Ama bi tianba den ñuadi ba ki maadi, “Bikuli ñuni mi daamɔnpaanma i ke li ga ba.”
But [some] of them (made fun of/laughed at) [those who believed in Jesus]. They said, “[These people are talking like this because] they are drunk!”
14 Ama Pieri den fii wani yeni li piiga n yendo, ki duoni u nialu, ki yedi ba, “Jude niba yeni yinba yaaba n kua Jrusalema nni, li ŋani yin bandi yaali ne yin ŋanbi ki cengi n lanbona.
So Peter stood up with the [other] eleven [apostles] and spoke loudly to the [crowd of] people, saying, “[My] fellow Jews and you [others] who are staying in Jerusalem, listen to me, all of you, and I will explain to you what is happening!
15 Kelima, ya niba ne ki ñuni daama ki guo nani yin maali maama ka, kelima ti dá ye siŋaagu, kudi taa yognu i.
[Some of] you think that [we(exc) are drunk], but we are not drunk. It is [only] nine o’clock in the morning, [and people here never get drunk this early] in the day!
16 Li tie o sawalpualo Joweli ń den waani ya maama i:
Instead, [what has happened to us is] the [miraculous] thing that the prophet Joel wrote about [long ago]. [Joel wrote]: God says,
17 “A daajuodidana ya pundi,” U Tienu ń yedi yaali n ne, “N ba yadi n foŋanma gbannandi kuli po. I bijaba yeni i bisiaba ba tua sawapuaba, i naacenba yeni i jifanba ba la mi dɔgdima, i nikpelba ń ya laadi a bona ti dangdi nni.
‘During the last/final days [before I judge all people], I will give my Spirit abundantly/generously to people [SYN] everywhere. [As a result], your sons and daughters will tell [people] messages from me, the young men among you will see visions [from me], and the old men among you will have dreams [that I will give them].
18 Li baa tie yeni i, n tuonsɔnba, bi puoba yeni bi jaba po li dana nni N ba yadi n foŋanma bi po, ban ya pua sawali.
During those days I will abundantly/generously give my Spirit [even] to men and women believers [who are] my slaves/servants, so they can tell [people] messages from me.
19 N ba cedi yaalidgu bona ń tieni tanpoli po, ki tieni li pagli maalma ki tinga po, mi sɔma, u mu yeni i muñii walgu.
I will cause amazing things to happen in the sky, and I will do miracles on the earth that will show [that I am powerful]. [Here] on the earth [CHI] I [will cause wars with] blood, fire and thick/dark smoke [everywhere].
20 u yienu ba kpandi bɔnbɔnli, o ŋmaalo ń kpandi sɔma ki sua ya daacianli ke i ba la ki bandi O Diedo guanma pundi.
[In the sky] the sun will [appear] dark [to people] and the moon [will appear] red [to them. Those things will happen] before the important and splendid/amazing day [MTY] [when I], the Lord [God, will come to judge everyone].
21 Li ba tieni ke yua n jaandi U Tienu O Diedo yeli po ba baa mi faabma.
[Before that time], all those who ask [me] [MTY] [to save them from the guilt of their sins] will be saved {[I], the Lord, will save all those who ask [me] [MTY] [to save them from the guilt of their sins].}’”
22 Israyeli yaaba, cengi mani ya lanbona ne: Nasareti Jesu, U Tienu ń tieni yua ya po kasiedi i kuli ya nunbu nni yaali n nua o yaalidgu tuonŋama, U Tienu ń cedi ke o tieni ya bancianma yeni ya maalma ke ikuli bani,
[Peter continued], “[My fellow] Israelites, listen to me! [When] Jesus from Nazareth [town lived] among you, God proved to you [that he had sent him] by enabling him to do many amazing miracles. You yourselves know [that this is true].
23 Nani U tienu ń bobni maama, ke li ŋua o bancianma, bi kuadi o, ki cuo o ki mubni yaaba n fali yiko nui nni, ke bi kpaa o li daapɔnpɔnli po, ki kpa o.
[Even though you knew that], you turned this man [Jesus] over to his enemies. [However], God had already planned for that, and he knew all about it. Then you urged men [SYN] who do not obey [God’s] law to kill Jesus. They did that by nailing him to a cross.
24 U Tienu yiedi o, ki faabi o yeni mi kuuma fala, kelima, li bo ki buali ke wan ya ye mi kuuma nuu nni.
He suffered terribly [when he died, but God caused him to become alive again]. God did not let him continue to be dead, because it was not possible for him [PRS] to remain dead.”
25 Kelima Dafidi yedi yaali ne o po: “N den tundi ki nua O Diedo ke o ye n liiga, kelima o ye n nuujienu po ke mii ji pia begma.
“[Long ago King] David wrote [what] the Messiah [said], “knew [that] you, Lord [God, would always] be near me. You are right beside [MTY] me, so I will not be afraid of [those who want to harm me].
26 Lanwani ii, n ye li pamancianli nni, ki mangidi n pali yeni n lanbu. Yaali n pugdi, n gbannandi baa ye li dandanli nni.
Because of that I [SYN] joyfully praise [you, O God]. And I am completely confident that [you(sg) will] ([cause my body] to become alive [again]/[raise me from the dead]).
27 Kelima a kan ñɔli ki ŋa n naano bi kpienba diema nni, a go kan ŋa a niŋamo gbannandi ń bedi. (Hadēs g86)
You will not allow my spirit to remain in the place where the dead are. You will not [even] let my body decay, [because] I am devoted to you and always obey [you]. (Hadēs g86)
28 A dɔgdi li mi yema sani, ki waani nni, a ba cedi min gbie yeni a yema.
You have told me [that you will cause my body] to become alive [again]. You will make me very happy [because] you will be with me [forever].”
29 N kpiiba, n ba maadi yeni yi li dandanli nni ti yaaja Dafiidi maama: o den kpe, ke bi pii o, ke o kakuli ye ti siiga nni hali yeni mɔlane.
[Peter] continued, “My fellow Jews, I can tell you confidently that [our royal] ancestor, [King] David, died, and that his [body] was buried {that [people] buried his [body]}. And the place [where they] buried his body is [still] here today.
30 Nani wan den tie sawalpualo, ki bani ke U Tienu bo loli yni o ku dɔnligu, ki niani o ke o ba cedi o puoliŋuani nni, yendo ń kali o badigbandi po yeni.
So [we(inc) know that David was not speaking those words about himself. But] because he was a prophet, [he spoke about the Messiah]. David knew that God had strongly promised him that he would cause one of his descendants to become king [MTY] like David was king. (OR, to [be the Messiah who would] rule [God’s people] like David had ruled [them].)
31 o bo tuodi ki bandi, ki maadi Jesu yiedma po, “Bi den ki ñɔli ki ŋa o bi kpienba tinga nni, ke o gbannandi mo ki bandi bedma. (Hadēs g86)
David knew beforehand [what God would do], so he [was able to] say that God would cause the Messiah to live again [after he died]. He said that God would not let the Messiah remain in the place of the dead, nor let his body decay.” (Hadēs g86)
32 Lan ya Jesu, U Tienu duoni o yeli, tikuli tie li kesiedinba.
“[After] this [man] Jesus [had died], God caused him to become alive [again]. All of us(exc), [his followers], have seen [and tell people] that Jesus has become alive again.
33 Ama, nani wan doni, ki kali U Tienu jienu yeni, o baa Báa ń den niani o ya foŋanma, o yadi lan ya foŋanma i ti po ke i la ki go gbadi ne.
God has greatly honored Jesus [by causing him to rule] right beside him [MTY] [in heaven]. Jesus has received the Holy Spirit from [God] his Father, [just like] God promised. [So] Jesus has generously/abundantly given us the Holy Spirit, [and he has shown that by] what you are seeing and hearing.
34 Kelima, Dafiidi naa den doni tanpoli, ama, o den maadi, “O Diedo yedi N Diedo, «Kali n jienu,
[We(inc) know that David was not speaking about himself] because David did not go up into heaven [as Jesus did]. [Besides that], David himself said [this about the Messiah]: The Lord [God] said to my Lord [the Messiah], ‘Reign here beside me,
35 hali min ba cedi a yibalinba ń tua taaŋmaakaanu»
while I completely defeat [MTY] your enemies.’”
36 Lanyapo i, ke li buali ke Israyeli diegu kuli ń bandi yeni i mɔni ke yin kpaa ya Jesu li daapɔnpɔnli po yeni, U Tienu cedi ke o tua Diedo yeni Kiristi»
[Peter concluded], “So I [want you and] all [other] Israelites [MTY] to acknowledge that God has caused this Jesus to be both [our] Lord/Ruler and the Messiah. [But God considers that] you are the ones who nailed Jesus to a cross.”
37 Ban gbadi lanya maama, ki mi sia bi pala, ke bi buali Pieri yeni ya tondba n sieni, “Ti kpiiba, ti ji ba tieni ledi i?”
When the people heard what [Peter said], they felt very guilty [IDM]. So they asked him and the other apostles, “Fellow-countrymen, what should we [(exc)] do [so that God will forgive us]?”
38 Ke Pieri guani ki jiini ba, “Yuakuli ń biidi o pali o tuonbiadi po, ki tieni mi ñinwulma bogdili Jesu Kiristi yeli po, ke wan di sugli o biidi po, i ba baa U Tienu Foŋanma paabu,
Peter [answered] them, “Each of you should turn away from your sinful behavior. Then [we(exc)] will baptize you, if [you now believe] in Jesus Christ. Then [God] will give you the Holy Spirit.
39 Kelima li nɔnianu tie yinba yeni i bila yaama i yeni yaaba n ye fagma, hali ban yabi maama kuli, ke U Tienu ba yini.”
[God] has promised [to do that] [MTY] for you and your descendants, and for all [others who believe in him], even those who [live] far away [from here]. The Lord our God [will give his Spirit] to everyone whom he invites [to become his people]!”
40 O den maadi mi maama boncianla, ki kadi ki waani ba, ki paani bi pala; O den maadi ne, “Yin fangi j yula yeni ya nifiima n kua mi tudma nni ne.
Peter spoke much more [and] spoke strongly/forcefully to them. He pleaded with them, “[Ask God] to save you [so that he will not punish you when he punishes] these evil people [who have rejected Jesus]!”
41 Lanwani ii, bi den tuo ki ga o maama, ke bi tieni ba mi ñinwulma bogdili, ke li daali mɔno, yaaba n den pugni bi ŋɔdkaaba po den kiluo niba tuda taa.
So the people who believed Peter’s message were baptized. There were about 3,000 [SYN] [who] joined the group [of believers] that day.
42 Bi den tugni bi tuona ki tundi yaali n tie mi yenŋɔdma, ki bɔgdi kpanu bi ŋmiali nni, ki tie bi jaandi.
They continually obeyed what the apostles taught, and they very frequently met together [with the other believers]. And they continually ate [together and celebrated the Lord’s Supper], and continually prayed [together].
43 Ti jawaandi ń cuo naano kuli, ku yaalidgu yeni mi bancianma maalma boncianla ń tieni bi ŋɔdkaaba dandanli po.
All the people [SYN] [who were in Jerusalem] were greatly revering [God because] the apostles were frequently doing many kinds of miraculous things.
44 Yaaba n den tie dugkaaba kuli den taani ki ye kaanyendu, ke ban den pia yaali kuli den tie tantaanbona i.
All of those who believed [in Jesus] were united [and regularly met] together. They were also sharing everything that they had with one another.
45 Bi den kuadi bi piama yeni bi bonkubkaali ki bɔgi bi ŋmiali nni, yuakuli yeni wan dagdi yeni yaali.
[From time to time some of] them sold [some of] their land and [some of the other] things that they owned, and they would give [some of] the money [from what they sold] to others [among them], according to what they needed.
46 Li den tie yeni i daali ń tuu daali bi den ye li jaandieli nni, ki taa payianyendu, ki ŋmiidi kpanu, ki bɔgi bi ŋmiali nni, ki taandi ki di yeni li pamanli yeni li pali yumiinli,
Every day they continued meeting together in the temple [area]. And every day they gladly and generously shared their food [SYN] [with each other], as they ate together [and celebrated the Lord’s Supper] in their houses.
47 Bi den pugu U Tienu, ke bi niba taa bi po, ki selni ba. Daali ń tuu daali, O Diedo den pugdi bi po yaaba n den baa mi faabma.
[As they did so], they were praising God, and all the [other] people [in Jerusalem] were [thinking] favorably about them. [As those things were happening], every day the Lord [Jesus] increased the number of people who were being saved {whom he was saving} [from the guilt of their sins].
