Katuma 3
1 Bitrus nan Yohana wahazi inni yeh udenge Asere.
[One day] Peter and John were going to the Temple [courtyard]. It was three o’clock in the afternoon, which was the time when people prayed [there publicly].
2 Sa wabiki upuru ana tukum ariri wadusa wa iri uru nu ma ciki carki ayome sarki tanu, ake ayeze a inki ahirame koya ni sisizo mamiki urigiza utari anabu wa nyangizi adudo.
There was a man there who had been lame from the time he was born. He [was sitting by] the gate called Beautiful [Gate], at the entrance to the Temple [area]. People put him there every day, so that he could ask those who were entering [or leaving] the temple courtyard to give him some money.
3 Sa ma ira Bitrus nan Yohana wa udenge Asere ma rikuwe tari.
As Peter and John were about to enter [the Temple courtyard], the lame man saw them and asked them several times to give him some money. (OR, The lame man said to them several times, “Please give me some money!”)
4 Bitrus nan Yohana warikuwe je, magu, iran duru”.
As Peter and John looked directly at him, Peter said to him, “Look at us!”
5 Iriba ime idusa ikuri a hirawe inu basa madi kin iri, mum ahira awe.
So he looked directly at them, expecting to get some [money] from them.
6 Bitrus magu, “Inzom inni kirifi sandi nyawe ba, imumbe san zini ine ini indi nyawe, a nyimo ani za ni Yeso unu zatu madini.
Then Peter said to him, “I do not have any money [MTY], but what I [can do], I will [do] for you. Jesus Christ, [who was] from Nazareth [town], has authorized [MTY] me [to heal you! So get up and] walk!”
7 Bitrus ma meki tari tinare tumeme ma hirzame mahiri tihihira timeme tiwitino inni kara.
Then Peter grasped the man’s right hand and helped him to stand up. Immediately the man’s feet and ankles became strong.
8 Mahiri fagat, ma tunno, matubi tanu, maribe anyumo udenge Asere nan we unnu hinzina inni nonzo na Asere.
He jumped up and began to walk! Then he entered the Temple [area] with them, walking and leaping and praising God!
9 Vat anu wa irime mahhaka inu, haka ununzo Asere.
All the people [there] saw that man walking and praising God.
10 Wairime memani desa ma cukuzuno ana tukum a riri aginome uribi ze udenge Asere bi yau bi mekuwe kan imumbe sa awuza me.
They recognized that he was the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate in the Temple [courtyard] and ask [people] for money! So all the people there were greatly amazed at what had happened to him.
11 Mara anyimo inta Bitrus nan Yohana anu wa sumi, uhana, ukagunna nan we anyimo anikubu sa atisa, nikubu ni Solomon imum ibiyau imikuwe.
As the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were so surprised [that they did not know what to think] So they ran to the two apostles at the place [in the Temple courtyard] that is called {that [people] call} Solomon’s Porch.
12 Sa Bitrus ma ira anime ma bukiwe shi, unu Isaraila, nyanini ya wu ikuna biyau? aneni ya inkon duru aje gusi tahiri zame inni kara niruni?
When Peter saw that, he said to the crowd, “Fellow Israelites, (you should not be surprised about what has happened to this man!/why are you so surprised about what has happened to this man?) [RHQ] And you should not stare at us, either! You seem to [RHQ] think that the two of us enabled this man to walk because we [(exc)] ourselves are powerful or because we please God very much!
13 Asere Ibrahim, nan Ishaku, a Yakubu, acokoro utuba ma nunzi ka urere ume Yeso nan uzika urere ume Yeso, de sa ya nya, game, aje a Bilatus, sa ma zikin inguna madi cekime.
[So I will tell you what is really happening]. Our ancestors, including Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, worshipped God. And now he has greatly honored Jesus, who always served him. Your [leaders] brought Jesus [to the governor, Pilate], so that [his soldiers would kill him]. And [God considers that] in front of Pilate you [were the ones who rejected] Jesus [as your king], after Pilate had decided that he should release Jesus.
14 Na iri me unu lau, nan nukabanu ugime agi aceki shi unu huzanu.
[Although Jesus] always did what was right/just and good, you rejected him. [Pilate wanted to release him, but] you urgently asked Pilate to release (a murderer/someone who had killed people)!
15 Isabi hu nitini nu vengize uzatu mara. Asere a hirza me a mu cau, haru ta ira anime.
[God considers that] you killed [Jesus], the one who gives people [eternal] life. But God has greatly honored him (by causing him to become alive again after he died/by raising him from the dead). Many of us saw [him after that, and now] we [(exc)] are telling [you] about it.
16 Aname nizanime nini, uham inni za nimeme, ini yanya unu ugino sa ihira irusa nikara, anime ani uhem in Yeso wa nyame ni huma a ve ashi me.
It is because [we two] trusted in what Jesus [MTY, PRS] [could do, that he] made this man, whom you see and know, strong again. Yes, it is because we [(exc)] trusted in Jesus that he has completely healed this man for all of you to see.”
17 Aname, nihenu, in rusa utasa utame uni uzi ya wuza anime, kasi a ana je ashime wa wu zi anime.
“Now, my fellow-countrymen, I know that you and your leaders did that [to Jesus] because you [and they] did not know [that he was the Messiah].
18 A, anime Asere a myinca mtize time mu atinyo tanu kurzu utize, Yeso Kristi madiziti.
However, [your putting him to death] was what God had predicted that people would do. [Long ago] he told all the prophets [MTY] to write [what people would do to the Messiah. They wrote] that the Messiah, whom God [would send], would suffer [and die].
19 A, anime cekini imomu izenzeng, gamirkani, barki a visa madini mashi me, Ugomo Asere ma nya shi ni huma.
So, turn away from your sinful behavior and ask God [to help you] do what pleases [him], in order that he may completely forgive you for your sins.
20 Ma tumi innunu zatu umadini sa nyara shi dati unu nu utuba me mani, Yeso.
[If you do that], there will be times [when you will know that] the Lord [God is] helping [you]. And some day he will [again] send back [to earth] the Messiah, whom he appointed for you. That person is Jesus.
21 Me mani desa tigomo ta sereti nyara ukabi barki uganiya udati ubarka utimumum, sa Ugomo Asere manya atinyo tanu kurzuzzo utize ti lau. (aiōn g165)
Jesus must stay in heaven until the time when God will cause all that he has created to become new. Long ago God promised [to do that, and] he chose holy prophets to tell [that to people]. (aiōn g165)
22 Musa magu, Ugomo Asere madi hirza shi ure unu kurzo anyimo'anu henu shime, kasibe sa ma hirzam, kadure kani i kunna imumbe sa mabuki.
For [example, the prophet] Moses said [this about the Messiah]: ‘The Lord (your God/the God whom you [worship]) will cause someone to become a prophet to tell you [God’s message. God will send him] as [he sent] me, [and he will be] from among your own people. You must listen to everything that this prophet tells you [and obey him] [SYN].
23 Idi cukuno vat de sa makunna unu kurzuzo tizetige me madi ribe ijas.
[Those who] do not listen to [that prophet and obey] him will no longer belong to God’s people, and [God] will get rid of them’.”
24 E, Samaila ma bu aban ga gino me, vat tize ti inde me tini.
[Peter continued], “All the prophets have told [about what would happen during] the time [MTY] [in which we(inc) are living. Those prophets include] Samuel [and all the others who] later also spoke [about these events] before they happened.
25 Shi ahana anu kurzuzo tize tini sa Ugomo Asere ma inki tize nanaka co ushime utuba, bishime vat nan tikura tishime anyimo une me wakim uringiringirka.
You [as well as we(exc)] are the people [to whom God sent the Messiah, as] the prophets said [MTY] [that he would]. And when God strongly promised [to bless] our ancestors, he also surely promised to bless you. He said to Abraham [concerning the Messiah], ‘[I] will bless all people on the earth as a result of [what] your descendant [will do].’”
26 Sa, Asere mahirza udura u meme matubi matumime ahira ashime barki maringirkashi maro mashime ma kini tihara tiburi.
[Peter concluded], “[So] when God sent [to the earth] (Jesus, the one who always obeys him/his servant Jesus), he sent him first to you [Israelites] to bless you. [God will] enable you to stop doing what is wicked [and to start doing what pleases him].”
