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.
Among other places Paul went to Derbe and Lystra. At the latter place they found a disciple, named Timothy, whose mother was a Jewish woman who was a believer, while his father was a Greek,
2 Anu tarsa Asere sa waa rani u listira nan Ikoniya wa nanziko Timoti kang.
and who was well spoken of by the followers of the Lord in Lystra and Iconium.
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.
Wishing to take this man with him on his journey, Paul caused him to be circumcised out of consideration for the Jews in that region, for they all knew that his father had been a 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 traveled from town to town, they gave the followers the decisions which had been reached by the apostles and church elders at Jerusalem, for them to observe.
5 Ani me anu tarsa Asere wa kinki ni kara amu riba muweme wa kini wa kinki u gbardang.
So the churches grew stronger in the faith, and increased in numbers from day to day.
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 next went through the Phrygian district of Galatia, but were restrained by the Holy Spirit from delivering the message in Roman Asia.
7 Sa wa aye mamu umisiya wa nyari uribe ubitiniya bibee bi Yeso bi karti wee.
When they reached the borders of Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them.
8 Sa wa tarsa nikira nima nyanga mu misiya wa tuu hana Turuwas.
Passing through Mysia, they 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.
and there one night Paul saw a vision. A Macedonian was standing and appealing to him – ‘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.
So, immediately after Paul had seen the vision, we looked for an opportunity to cross over to Macedonia, concluding that God had summoned us to tell the good news to the people there.
11 An Bulus wa cheki u Toruwas u hana samotiras, rono unu kure wa haa u Niyafolis.
Accordingly we set sail from Troas, and ran before the wind to Samothrace, reaching Neapolis the next day.
12 A bini me wa aki u hana u Filipi, ni pin ni dandang ni Makiduniya an de sa waa raa tari tanu aRumawa.
From there we made our way to Philippi, which is the principal city of that part of Macedonia, and also a Roman Settlement. In that city we spent 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 we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there would be a place of prayer; and we sat down and talked to the women who were 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.
Among them was a woman, named Lydia, belonging to Thyatira, a dealer in purple cloth, who was accustomed to join in the worship of God. The Lord touched this woman’s heart, so that she gave attention to the message delivered by Paul,
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.
and, when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us to become her guests. “Since you have shown your conviction,” she said, “that I really am a believer in the Lord, come and stay in my house.” And she insisted on our doing so.
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, as we were on our way to the place of prayer, we were met by a girl possessed by a divining spirit, who made large profits for her masters 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, calling, “These men are servants of the most high God, and they are bringing you news of a way to salvation.”
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 had been doing this for several days, when Paul, much vexed, turned and said to the spirit within her, “In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to leave her.” That very moment the spirit 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.
When her masters saw that there was no hope of further profit from her, they seized Paul and Silas, dragged them into the public square to the authorities,
20 Sa wa hanan we ahira unuyoro utize wa gun me “Anu ageme a Yahudawa wazin nubungmurko uru nipin.
and took them before the Magistrates. “These men are causing a great disturbance in our town,” they complained;
21 Wa zin nu boo uru timum tige sa ti sassas nan tunu Romawa agi ti kabi.
“They are Jews, and they are teaching customs which it is not right for us, as Romans, to sanction or adopt.”
22 A nabu wa dusa wa murna we, anu yoro utizee me, wa jani we tirunga wa cekiwe nyenperen, wa gu a cobiwe.
The mob rose as one person against them, and the Magistrates stripped them of their clothing and ordered them to be 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 beating them severely, the Magistrates put them in prison, with orders to the jailer to keep them in safe custody.
24 Unu me ma sokki we udange una nyumo, ma duku tirzizi we ma kunti ati buna.
On receiving so strict an order, the Governor put them into the inner cell, and secured their feet in the stocks.
25 In na taaniye Bulus nan silas wa zin biringara nan ire ya sere, u kasu wanna uwe.
About midnight, while Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and while the 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 there was an earthquake of such violence that the jail was shaken to its foundations; all the doors flew open, and all the prisoners’ chains were loosened.
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.
Roused from his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, the Governor drew his sword intending to kill himself, in the belief 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 called our loudly, “Do not harm yourself; we are all 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.
Calling for a light, the Governor rushed in, and flung himself trembling at the feet of Paul and Silas.
30 A suru we a matara magu “Unu dang nyanini indi wuzi bati a burum”.
Then he led them out, and said, “What must I do to be saved?”
31 Wa gun me “Kaba Ugomo Asere Yeso adi buru we huu nan a kura wee”.
“Believe in Jesus, our Lord,” they replied, “and you will be saved, you and your household too.”
32 Wa bezi me tize tu Ogomo Asere vat uwe akura me.
Then they spoke to him of God’s message, and to all his household as well.
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.
And that very hour of the night he took them and washed their wounds, and he himself and everyone belonging to him were baptized without delay.
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.
Afterward he took them up to his house and set before them something to eat, rejoicing that he, with all his household, had come to believe in God.
35 Sa ahira a sana ma gun ana katuma me “Cekini unu agino me wa dusa”.
In the morning the Magistrates sent the guards with an order for the men to be discharged.
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 of his instructions. “The Magistrates have sent an order for your discharge,” he said, “so you had better leave the place at once and go quietly away.”
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’s answer to them was, “They have flogged us in public without trial, though we are Roman citizens, and they have put us in prison, and now they are for sending us out secretly! No, indeed! Let them come and take us out themselves.”
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 guards reported his words to the Magistrates, who, on hearing that Paul and Silas were Roman citizens, were alarmed,
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 the prison, and did their best to conciliate them. Then they took them out, and begged them to leave the city.
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.
When Paul and Silas left the prison, they went to Lydia’s house, and, after they had seen the Lord’s followers, and encouraged them, they left the place.
