Jesu Tondiba Tuona 8
1 Landaali bi niba den cili ki wangi Krisiti n yini yaaba, yaaba n ye Jerusalema o falabiado. Jesu tondiba yaaka, yaaba n sieni kuli den yayadi Jude diema nni.
And Saul was consenting to his death. And at that time there was raised a great persecution against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all dispersed through the countries of Judea, and Samaria, except the apostles.
2 Yaa niba n den fangi U Tienu den piini Etiena ki mua opo i kumoe boncianla.
And devout men took order for Stephen’s funeral, and made great mourning over him.
3 Solo den moandi ki baa bolini Krisiti n yini yaaba. O den kua ti diedi nni ki co bi jaba yeni bi puoba kuli, ki kuandi ba li kpaadieli nni.
But Saul made havock of the church, entering in from house to house, and dragging away men and women, committed them to prison.
4 Yaaba n den yayadi yeni, den caa i kaani boncianla ki wangi U Tienu Laabaalŋamo.
They therefore that were dispersed, went about preaching the word of God.
5 Filipiden jiidi ki gadi ya dogu n ye Samali diema nni ki wangi laa niba U Tienu n Gandi yua maama fuuli.
And Philip going down to the city of Samaria, preached Christ unto them.
6 Bi niba n den gbadi Filipi n yedi yaala ki laa wan tieni ya bancanma, bi den cengi o maama bonŋanla.
And the people with one accord were attentive to those things which were said by Philip, hearing, and seeing the miracles which he did.
7 I cicibiadimi den tangi ki ña ban ye yaaba ya niinni. Yaaba ya gbanandi n ffaani yeni a waba boncianla moko den paagi.
For many of them who had unclean spirits, crying with a loud voice, went out.
8 Li pamanli den tieni boncianla laa dogu nni.
And many, taken with the palsy, and that were lame, were healed.
9 Li den sua ke o nilo ye u dogu yeni niinni ke li waagi, ki yi Simono. O den tiendi ti belbondi ke li paki Samali yaaba, ki jigini o yuli ke o tie niciamo.
There was therefore great joy in that city. Now there was a certain man named Simon, who before had been a magician in that city, seducing the people of Samaria, giving out that he was some great one:
10 Bi niba kuli, a bila yeni a nikpela, den ga o maama boncianla ki tua: «One n tie U Tienu paalu, ban yi yu u paaciamu».
To whom they all gave ear, from the least to the greatest, saying: This man is the power of God, which is called great.
11 Bi den cengi o maama kelima wan n tiendi ya belbondi den paki ba hali ke li waagi.
And they were attentive to him, because, for a long time, he had bewitched them with his magical practices.
12 Ama Flipi n den wangi ba U Tienu diema Laabaalŋamo yeni Jesu Krisiti yeli, bi den daani o maama ke o wali ba U Tienu ñinma, bani bi jaba yeni bi puoba kuli.
But when they had believed Philip preaching of the kingdom of God, in the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
13 Simono wani oba den daani Filipi ki nua wan tiendi ya sinankeeninba yeni ya bancianma ke li paki o.
Then Simon himself believed also; and being baptized, he adhered to Philip. And being astonished, wondered to see the signs and exceeding great miracles which were done.
14 Jesu tondiba yaaba n sieni Jurusalema n den gbadi ke Samali yaaba ga U Tienu maama, bi den sɔni bikani Pieri yeni Jan.
Now when the apostles, who were in Jerusalem, had heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John.
15 Ban den pundi likani, bi den jaandi yaaba n daani po ke ban baa U Tienu Fuoma yua.
Who, when they were come, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost.
16 U Tienu Fuoma yua daa den jiidi bi siiga oba kuli po. Bi da den wali o Diedo Jesu Krisiti yeli nni baba.
For he was not as yet come upon any of them; but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
17 Lane Pieri yeni Jan den maani bipo bi nui ke bi baa U Tienu Fuoma yua.
Then they laid their hands upon them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
18 Simono n den laa ke bi baa U Tienu Fuoma yua kelima bi tondiba maani bipo bi nui, o den cuani bipo i ligi ki yedi:
And when Simon saw, that by the imposition of the hands of the apostles, the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
19 «Pa mani mini moko laa paalu, ke min maani n nui yua ya po, wan baa U Tienu Fuoma yua.»
Saying: Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I shall lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said to him:
20 Pieri den yedi o: «Fini yeni a ligi kuli n bodi, kelima a tama ke a baa pa i ligi ki baa U Tienu paalu.
Keep thy money to thyself, to perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
21 ŋaa pia biinu yeni ŋantaadoba kuli li naa tuondi nni, kelima a pali naa tiegi U Tienu nintuali.
Thou hast no part nor lot in this matter. For thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
22 Lani ya po ŋan biidi a pali a yanjagibidli po ki ŋa li ki mia o Diedo li ya baa tuo wan pa ŋa sugli ŋan pia ya yanmaalma po.
Do penance therefore for this thy wickedness; and pray to God, that perhaps this thought of thy heart may be forgiven thee.
23 kelima n den nua ke li nunponbiadli gbie n niinni, ti tuonbiadi go lola a mo.»
For I see thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bonds of iniquity.
24 Simono den gua ki yedi: «mia n po mani o Diedo ke yin yedi yaala kuli n da cua n kani.»
Then Simon answering, said: Pray you for me to the Lord, that none of these things which you have spoken may come upon me.
25 Pieri yeni Jan n den tiendi siedi o Diedo ki go wani o maama b den gɔ Jerusalema ki wangi Samali dogi boncianla nni, o laabaalŋamo.
And they indeed having testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many countries of the Samaritans.
26 O diedo maleki den maadi yeni filipi ki yedi o: «Fii ki gadi u ganu po, ki pundi ya sɔnu n ñani Jerusalema po ki caa Gaza po. Ki ŋɔdi ya sɔnu n pɔndi mi fanpiema yeni nni.»
Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying: Arise, go towards the south, to the way that goeth down from Jerusalem into Gaza: this is desert.
27 Filipi den fii ki gadi. Li den sua ke Etiopi diema nilo yua n tie mɔlga, Kadasi Etiopi pobado, yua n ki o ligkublo, den gadi Jerusalema ki ban kpiagi U Tienu.
And rising up, he went. And behold a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch, of great authority under Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge over all her treasures, had come to Jerusalem to adore.
28 Wan den lebdi ke baa guani o denpo, o den ka i taami tolgu nni ki cogi o Sawalpualo Isayi tili.
And he was returning, sitting in this chariot, and reading Isaias the prophet.
29 U tienu Fuoma den yedi Filipi: «Gadi ki nagni ya tantolgu ne ki yegi yeni gu.»
And the Spirit said to Philip: Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
30 Filipi den sani ki nagni gu ki gbadi ke Etiopi yua cogi o Sawalpualo Esayi tili nni. O den buali o: «A ga ŋan cogi yaala n bua ki yedi yaala bi?»
And Philip running thither, heard him reading the prophet Isaias. And he said: Thinkest thou that thou understandest what thou readest?
31 O den gua ki yedi o: «N baa gaa ledi ki bandi, nitɔ yaa bundi npo i?» Lani, o den mia Filipi wan do ki kali yeni o u tantolgu nni ban yegi.
Who said: And how can I, unless some man shew me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
32 Wan den cogi iDiani nni naankani n den maadi ya maama ne: «B den dia o nani o pia yeni ki caa yeni o u yankodikaanu po. Nani i pabiga n ŋmimi yua n mɔgidi o kobidi kani maama. Waa den yaadi o ñɔbu.
And the place of the scripture which he was reading was this: He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb without voice before his shearer, so openeth he not his mouth.
33 Bi den miidi o, ki jia opo ya buudi n ki tiegi. ŋma baa fidi ki togdi o buolu maama? Kelima bi ñani o miali ŋanduna nni.»
In humility his judgment was taken away. His generation who shall declare, for his life shall be taken from the earth?
34 I mɔliga den yedi Filipi: «N bua ŋan wani nni, Sawaalpualo maadi ŋma ya maama i? O maadi o yuli maama bi nitɔ yaama yo?
And the eunuch answering Philip, said: I beseech thee, of whom doth the prophet speak this? of himself, or of some other man?
35 Filipi den cili yeni laa dianu ki wani o Jesu laabaalŋamo.
Then Philip, opening his mouth, and beginning at this scripture, preached unto him Jesus.
36 Ban den ŋua b sani keli suagi liiga, B den pundi mi ñinma kani. I mɔliga den yedi: «Diidi mi ñinma nna. Be n yie npo ke min da wali?»
And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water; and the eunuch said: See, here is water: what doth hinder me from being baptized?
37 Filipi den gua ki yedi o: «A ya daani yeni a pali kuli, li baa fidi.» Ke i mɔliga den gua ki yedi: «N daani ke Jesu Krisiti tie U Tienu Bijua.»
And Philip said: If thou believest with all thy heart, thou mayest. And he answering, said: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 O den wani yua n gobdi u tantolgu wan sieni gu. Filipi yeni i mɔliga den jiidi ki kua mi ñima nni ke o wali o.
And he commanded the chariot to stand still; and they went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch: and he baptized him.
39 Ban den ñani mi ñima nni, o Diedo Fuoma den taa Filipi ke ki mɔliga den suagi liiga yeni o sancenli ke o pali mani.
And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more. And he went on his way rejoicing.
40 Filipi den sua ke o ye Asota dogu nni. O den ñani Asota ki caa Sesale, ki wangi o Laabaalŋamo wan tagini ya dogi kuli hali ki pan pundi.
But Philip was found in Azotus; and passing through, he preached the gospel to all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
