Katuma 16
1 Bulus ma haa u darbe nan nu listira, ure unu tarsa u Yeso ani pin nu Listira, una ni zaa Timoti a ino mee u caa Yahudawa, a choo me ubaleleni.
Paul went first to Derbe, and then on to Lystra, where he met a believer by the name of Timothy. He was the son of a Jewish Christian mother, and his father was Greek.
2 Anu tarsa Asere sa waa rani u listira nan Ikoniya wa nanziko Timoti kang.
The brothers at Lystra and Iconium spoke well of him.
3 Bulus ma nyari udusa nan Timoti, ma gbari me bati ma Yahudawa me sa waa raniu abini me wa rusi uguna aco me ma zee uba Heleni mani.
Paul wanted Timothy to travel with him, so he circumcised him because the Jews in the area all knew that Timothy's father was Greek.
4 Uganiya me sa Bulus na Silas wa zin unu tarsa uti pinpin wa haki wa boo anu timum sa ana ka dura ka Asere, ananu nan anu tarsa Asere u Jerusalem wa hem wadi tarsi tini.
As they went through the different towns they gave them the requirements the apostles and elders in Jerusalem had said should be observed.
5 Ani me anu tarsa Asere wa kinki ni kara amu riba muweme wa kini wa kinki u gbardang.
The churches were strengthened in their trust in the Lord and every day their numbers increased.
6 Bulus nan aroni atanu tumeme wa tarsi Firijiya nan u Galantiya, wa gaa me uribi u Asiya barki sa bibe biririn ba sere baa karti wee u hanan inti zee ta sere abini mee.
They traveled through the districts of Phrygia and Galatia, since the Holy Spirit prevented them from going to the province of Asia to speak the word.
7 Sa wa aye mamu umisiya wa nyari uribe ubitiniya bibee bi Yeso bi karti wee.
When they arrived at the border of Mysia they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to enter.
8 Sa wa tarsa nikira nima nyanga mu misiya wa tuu hana Turuwas.
So they passed by Mysia and went down to Troas.
9 Bulus ma wuzi tiroo in niye, agi ure unanu makiduniya ma aye ma aye mazin unu gusa umee, aye a Makiduiya ubenkin dura.
There Paul saw in vision during the night a man from Macedonia standing up, pleading with him, “Please come over to Macedonia and help us!”
10 Sa Bulus ma maratiroo tiginome wa dusa, wa hira uhana a Makiduniya unu guna Asere; a guna wa ka bezi we kadura kurunta ka sere.
After Paul saw this vision, we immediately made arrangements to go to Macedonia, since we concluded that God had called us to share the good news with them.
11 An Bulus wa cheki u Toruwas u hana samotiras, rono unu kure wa haa u Niyafolis.
We set sail from Troas and made straight for Samothrace. The next day we went on to Neapolis,
12 A bini me wa aki u hana u Filipi, ni pin ni dandang ni Makiduniya an de sa waa raa tari tanu aRumawa.
and from there to Philippi, the most important town in Macedonia, and also a Roman colony. We stayed in this city for several days.
13 Unnu wui wa sabath ti suri ana tukum ani pin ti haa uraba nan tidi kem udenge ubiringara ti cukuno ti wuzi tizee wana nee sa wa gurna a hira mee.
On the Sabbath day we went out of the town gates down to the riverside where we thought people would come to pray. We sat down and talked with the women that had gathered there.
14 Uru nee unu tarsa Asere una ni za Lidiya, uca wanu Tiyatira unu zika uti runga ti kirfi wandang unu kunna uru, Ugomo Asere ma pakki iribi ime mee makuna imum mee sa Bulus mazin unu boo mee.
One of them was called Lydia, who sold purple cloth from the town of Thyatira. She worshiped God, and she listened to us. The Lord opened her mind to what Paul was saying, and she accepted what he told her.
15 Sa a Zorome nan ana kurameme ma gun hanu kussi, ingi ya heem guna mi kadundura ma heem in Ugomo Asere aye tarni a kura am, ma rigizan dura ti heem.
After she and all her household were baptized, she pleaded with us, “If you really think that I'm truly committed to the Lord, then come and stay at my house.” She kept on insisting until we agreed!
16 Uru wui ti hazi ahira abiringara ti gurna nan kure kubura sa mazin na gbergene ma wuza ni bere, anu henume wa kenzi ikirfi kang a hira ani bere numeme.
One day when we were going down to the place of prayer we met a slave girl possessed by an evil spirit. She earned her masters a great deal of money by fortune-telling.
17 Unee u geme ma tarsa Bulus nan haru, in ni myiran in na sesere unu gusa “Anu ageme areree Asere adandang ani sa wa bezizi una unu bussi.
This girl followed Paul and the rest of us around, shouting, “These men are the servants of Almighty God. They are telling you how to be saved!”
18 Ma ziki tiye gbardang unu boo me, Bulus makunna iriban in me kang, ma gun in bibee mee “A nyumo ani zaa ni Yeso kirati suro anyuma ame” bi dusa bi suri.
She went on doing this for several days. This bothered Paul so he turned around and told the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to leave her!” The spirit immediately left her.
19 Sa anu henu me wa ira unaa wa ree uweme wa korso ni pum wa meki Bulus na Silas wa hanwe nyumo a hira a bizizaziza, wa witi we atar tanu gunguzuno uti zee.
But when her masters saw they had lost their means of making money, they grabbed hold of Paul and Silas and dragged them before the authorities at the marketplace.
20 Sa wa hanan we ahira unuyoro utize wa gun me “Anu ageme a Yahudawa wazin nubungmurko uru nipin.
They brought them in front of the magistrates, and accused them: “These Jewish men are causing a great disturbance in our town,” they said.
21 Wa zin nu boo uru timum tige sa ti sassas nan tunu Romawa agi ti kabi.
“They're advocating things that are illegal for us as Romans to accept or to practice.”
22 A nabu wa dusa wa murna we, anu yoro utizee me, wa jani we tirunga wa cekiwe nyenperen, wa gu a cobiwe.
The crowd joined together in an attack on them. The magistrates tore off Paul and Silas' clothes, and ordered them beaten with rods.
23 Sa wa tirawe kang, wa tuburko we aka korso, wa gun anu hira ande sa a korso we, wa hiriwe memerun.
After giving them a severe beating, they threw them into prison, ordering the jailer to keep them locked up.
24 Unu me ma sokki we udange una nyumo, ma duku tirzizi we ma kunti ati buna.
The jailer followed his orders. He threw Paul and Silas into the inner cell and shackled their feet in the stocks.
25 In na taaniye Bulus nan silas wa zin biringara nan ire ya sere, u kasu wanna uwe.
Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing praises to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them.
26 Ara anyumo ani me, uzuruko wadizi udandang u eh, ni tin na soo udenge me sa wa rani; ni zuruko tina tukkum me vat ti pagkino dibedibee, vat inyang me sa atirziza anu me isopso.
Suddenly a tremendous earthquake shook the foundations of the prison. Immediately all the doors flew open and everyone's chains fell off.
27 Unu bee uweme sa ma zuma a moro ma iri tina tukum me kang ma gussi nan anume wa susso ma ziki uvira agi madi weki nicee numemen.
The jailer woke up and saw the doors of the prison wide open. He drew his sword and was about to kill himself, thinking that the prisoners had escaped.
28 Bulus ma tussan me in nimyirang ni dandang, ma gun “Kati u kunno nicee nuwe iwono vat uru ti rani.
But Paul shouted out, “Don't hurt yourself—we're all still here!”
29 Unu beh uweme ma gu ca a ehn ima saa, ma wuu dibedibe ma ribe anyumo maka rizo aje an Bulus nan Silas inbi yau.
The jailer asked for lights to be brought and rushed in. Shaking with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas.
30 A suru we a matara magu “Unu dang nyanini indi wuzi bati a burum”.
He escorted them out and asked them, “Sirs, what do I have to do so I can be saved?”
31 Wa gun me “Kaba Ugomo Asere Yeso adi buru we huu nan a kura wee”.
“Trust in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved—you and your whole household,” they replied.
32 Wa bezi me tize tu Ogomo Asere vat uwe akura me.
Then they shared the word of the Lord with him and everyone who lived in his house.
33 A nyumo uganiya ugunome inniye unu bee akura ukorsuzo anu me, ma ziki we ma kpiji we ti nuru me, vat ume nan ana kura ameme azoro we.
Even though it was late at night he bathed their wounds, and he was baptized right away, along with all his family.
34 Ma ziki Bulus nan Silas ma henwe akura ameme, ma nya we imum yare ma wuzi ire kang nan ana kura amemebarki sa wa kaba Asere.
He took them home and had a meal prepared for them. The jailer and his whole family were full of joy because they trusted in God.
35 Sa ahira a sana ma gun ana katuma me “Cekini unu agino me wa dusa”.
Early the next day the magistrate sent officials to the jailer, telling him, “Release those men.”
36 Ma kurzo Bulus tize me agi “Unu dang uru ma nya kudura agi a ceki shi idusa: barki anime suroni dusa a huma”.
The jailer told Paul, “The magistrates have sent word to release you. So you can leave, and go in peace.”
37 Bulus ma gun we “Ina tiran duru anyumo ana buu, haru anu Romawa sahiki iko uru, wa ka kurson duru; ane ani wa nyara wa suson duru nihunzii, ta gaan duru; ca wa e in na ce awe wa susonduru.
But Paul told them, “They publicly beat us without a trial—and yet we're Roman citizens! Then they threw us in prison. Now they want to quietly let us go? No, they should come themselves and release us!”
38 Wa kuri wa ka buka kadura me ana dang me wa kunna biyau sa a gunan we Bulus nan Silas anu Romawa wani.
The officials went back and reported this to the magistrates. When they heard that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens they were really worried,
39 Unu wessi utizee me ma gun wa wuu muriba mu shew, sa ma suso we ma gun Bulus nan Silas wa ceki ni pin me.
and went to apologize to them. They escorted them out and begged them to leave town.
40 Bulus nan Silas wa suri wa akura a Lidiya. Sa Bulus nan Silas wa ira aroni me wa nya we tize tu natta umuriba wa suri wa dusa.
So Paul and Silas left the prison and went to Lydia's house. There they met with the believers, encouraged them, and then went on their way.
