Nyingnam 11
1 Apostol vdwv okv Judia mvnwng lokv kvvbi mvngjwngnv vdwv tvvpa nyatoku Jentail vdwvka Pwknvyarnv gv gamchar am laarwk suta pvku vla.
The apostles and the followers throughout Judea heard that even the Gentiles had welcomed God’s message.
2 Vdwlo Pitar Jerusalem lo vngto kudw, yvvbunudw Jentail vdwa ayakmvua mvnglwknv vdwv Pitarnyi minjimio la minto,
But, when Peter went up to Jerusalem, those who were converts from Judaism began to attack him,
3 “No Jentail ayakmvu manv nyi vdwgv naam lo nyen gubv ripvi, okv no bunua lvkobv dvbamtvngbamdu ai!”
on the ground that he had visited people who were not circumcised, and had taken meals with them.
4 Vkvlvgabv Pitar bunua atuk lokv oguaingbv rirap pvkudw ho mvnwng nga mimpa jitoku:
So Peter began to relate the facts to them as they had occurred.
5 “Vdwlo ngo Joppa gv pamtv lo kumla doori lo, Ngo nyikrwgo kaato. Nyidomooku tvlokv vji jvbor aingbv kaanv go atung tungpi am kvlum tola ogugo solu dubv ngo kaapato, okv ho vv ngo takbv olwkto.
“I was in the town of Joppa,” he said, “and was praying; and, while in a trance, I saw a vision. There was something like a great sail descending, let down by its four corners out of the heavens; and it came right down to me.
6 Ngo arwngbv kaatar lwkla kaakunamv soonam okv somanam svnwngsvmin, piakarnvngv, mootum pvta vkv kaapato.
Looking intently at it, I began to distinguish quadrupeds, wild beasts, reptiles, and birds;
7 Vbvrikunamv ngo vlvgo nga mindubv tvvpato, ‘Gudungto, Pitar; mvkitvla okv dvto!’
and I also heard a voice saying to me – ‘Stand up, Peter, kill something and eat.’
8 Vbvritola ngo minto, ‘Ahtu, vbv makv! yaboryachenv vmalo dvnam kasingkanyak nvngv ngoogv gaam lo vdwloka aakw mapvnv.’
‘No, Lord, I cannot,’ I answered, ‘for nothing defiled or unclean has ever passed my lips.’
9 Nyidomooku tvlokv vlvgo lvkodv minto, ‘Pwknvyarnv gv darwk pvnvkv vnama ogu darwkmanv gubv mvngma bvka.’
Then a second time there came a voice from the heavens. ‘What God has pronounced clean’, it said, ‘you must not call defiled.’
10 So si lvom gubv rijito, okv anyunganya nga ogumvnwng nga nyidomooku bv chaakur gvvtoku.
This happened three times, and then all was drawn up again into the heavens.
11 Vbvrida sopikda nyi aom vv Kaisaria lokv ngo gvlo vngmunam vdwv ngo ogolo doopvdw oogv naam hoka vngchi toku.
At that moment three men, who had been sent from Caesarea to see me, came up to the house in which we were.
12 Darwknv Dowv nga bunua lvkobv vnglaka mvngram mabvkv vla minto. Oogv mvngjwngnv nyi akvgo nga lvkobv Joppa gvngv Kaisaria lo vngming gvvto, okv ngonu mvnwng ngv Kornelias gv naam arwnglo aatoku.
The Spirit told me to go with them without hesitation. These six companions also went with me. And, when we came into the man’s house,
13 Ninyi ngonua minjito ninyia oguaingbv nyidogindung angv ninyigv naam arwng lo dakdubv kaanama, ho ninyi minto, ‘Nyi go Saimon Pitarnyi hardubv Joppa bv vngmu tvka.
he told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and how the angel had said to him – ‘Send to Joppa and fetch the Simon, who is also known as Peter;
14 Hv nonua gaam japjire ho no okv noogv vpin mvnwng ngv ringnam am paariku.’
for he will tell you truths, which will prove the means of salvation to you and all your household.’
15 Okv vdwlo ngo japrap kunamv, Darwknv Dowv bunu gvlo ilwk toku atuk lo ngonu gvlo aanam jvbvku.
I had but just begun to speak,” continued Peter, “when the Holy Spirit fell on them, exactly as on us at the first;
16 Vbvrikunamv ngo mvngpa toku ogugonyi Ahtu minpvdw: ‘Jon isi bv baptisma jidu, vbvritola nonuam Darwknv Dow lvkobv baptisma jire.’
and I recalled the saying of the Master – ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
17 Si pvbwngvrwng dukunv vv Pwknvyarnv Jentail vdwa ngonua jwkrw jinam apiabv jipv vdwlo ngonu Ahtu Jisu Kristonyi mvngjwng tokudw; vbvrikunamv ngo yvvla, Pwknvyarnvnyi mvtor dubv ridunv!”
Since then, God had given them the very same gift as he gave us when we became believers in Jesus Christ the Master – who was I that I could thwart God?”
18 Vdwlo bunu sum tvvto kudw, bunu miriminu kuma okv Pwknvyarnvnyi ombonyikv, vnya toku, “Vbvrikunamv Pwknvyarnv Jentail vdwaka mvngdin modukubv jito okv singmurimu dukubv alvnv alua lomu toku!”
On hearing this statement, they said no more, but broke out into praise of God. “So even to the Gentiles,” they exclaimed, “God has granted the repentance which leads to life!”
19 Stipinnyi vlwng orki rilo Jisunyi mvngjwngnv vdwa mvdwmvkunam lvgabv bunu mooku mookulo kiakkipak toku. Kvvgonv Jius mvngchik ka doina japjito Poenesia lobv, Saipras okv Antiok lobv vngto.
Now those who had been scattered in different directions, in consequence of the persecution that followed the death of Stephen, went as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, telling the message – but only to Jews.
20 Vbvritola mvngjwngnv kvvbi vdwv, Saipras okv Sairene lokv nyiga vdwv, Antiok bv vngto okv doina Jentail vdwlo japji toku, Ahtu Jisu gv Alvnv Yunying nga bunua ka minji toku.
Some of them, however, who were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, on coming to Antioch, addressed themselves also to the Jews of foreign birth, telling them the good news about that Lord Jesus.
21 Ahtu gv jwkrwv bunugv lvkobv dooto, okv nyi vdwv kaiyabv mvngjwng la twngtvya toku okv Ahtu gvlo aakur nyatoku.
The power of the Lord was with them, so that a great number who had learned to believe came over to the Lord’s side.
22 So yunying ngv Jerusalem Gvrja lo vngchi toku, vkvlvgabv bunu Barnabasnyi Antiok bv vngmuto.
The news about them reached the ears of the church at Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.
23 Vdwlo hv vngchi tokudw okv ninyia Pwknvyarnv gv nyi vdwa vdwgo boktalwkji kunama kaapa toku, hv mvngpu toku okv nyi vdwa ninyi tamsarto Ahtunyi haapok mvnwng lokv jvjvbv okv mvnglwkkaalwk bv rilaka vla minto.
On coming there he saw to his great joy these tokens of the loving kindness of God, and encouraged them all to make up their minds to be faithful to the Lord –
24 Barnabas alvnv nyi go, Darwknv Dow gvnv go okv mvngjwng nvgo, okv nyi meego Ahtu gvlo aagv jito.
For Barnabas was a good man and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith – and a large number of people took their stand on the Lord’s side.
25 Vbvrikunamv Barnabas Solnyi kaakar bv Tarsus lo vngtoku.
Afterward Barnabas left for Tarsus to look for Saul;
26 Vdwlo hv ninyia kaapa kunamv, hv ninyia Antiok bv vnggv toku, okv anying nyinggo bv bunyi lvkobv Gvrja gv nyi vdwa kaarwk sito okv nyitwngtwngtv nvgo tamsar toku. Mvngjwngnv vdwa Kristan vla mintuminke bv minrap kongv Antiok lo.
and, when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And so it came about that, for a whole year, they attended the meetings of the church there, and taught a large number of people; and it was in Antioch that the disciples were first called ‘Christians.’
27 Vbv riri hoka nyijwk meego Jerusalem lokv Antiok lo vnglwk toku.
During this time, some prophets came to Antioch from Jerusalem.
28 Bunugv lokv akonvgv aminv Agabas, Darwknv Dow gv jwkrw lokv dakrap danv kokwnglo riji nama mincho jila vbv minto achialvbv alvmanv dvmayarwng go sichingmooku so vngtv tvvdu vla minto. (Klaudius gv Dvbv bv ririlo vv aatoku.)
One of them, named Agabus, came forward and, under the influence of the Spirit, foretold a great famine that was to spread over all the world – a famine which occurred in the reign of Claudius.
29 Lvbwlaksu vdwv Judia lokv mvngjwngnv ajin vdwa vdwgo rila pvdw ridur dubv vla japmi sinyatoku.
So the disciples, without exception, determined, in proportion to their means, to send something to help the followers living in Judea.
30 Bunu sum ritoku, vbvrikunamv morko nga Barnabas okv Sol bunyigv laak lo jilwk la Gvrja gv nyigagatv vdwlo jidukubv.
And this they did, sending it to the church elders by Barnabas and Saul.
