eng: Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had a vow.

abt: Pol némaamba nyaa Jisaské yékunmba vékulakakwa du dakwale yaréndén Korinmba. Yare de yaasékatake Prisila ambét Akwilale sékét wunga Senkriat yéndarén. Ye saambake Pol Gorét wandén néma kundiké vékulakate wa déku némbé sékundén. Sékwe Siria distrikét yémuké wa sipmba waaréndarén, Prisila ambét Akwilale.


eng: Then all the Greeks seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. Gallio didn’t care about any of these things.

abt: Wunga wandéka yéte néma du nakét kulkindarén. Wani du déku yé Sostenes kundi bulndakwa gaaké néma du wa téndén. Kulkiye kundi bulndakwa taalé tékwanmba wa dat viyaandarén. Viyaandaka Galio wani muséké yamba vékulakandékwe wa.


eng: So he drove them from the judgment seat.

abt: Bulaa ani taalé ma yaasékatake yéngunék.” Naandén.


eng: But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you;

abt: Naate wadaka dé Pol kudi wakweké mawulé yadéka dé Galio wani duwat wak, “Guné Judana du, mé véknwu. Kéni du naana apa kudi véknwumarék yate kapéredi mu yadu mukatik guna kudi véknwukatik wuné yak.


eng: but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I don’t want to be a judge of these matters.”

abt: Guné yaae nak gaayéna kundi, nak duna yé, guna apakundiké waak wunat waatakuké yambakate. Guné guna kapmang wani muséké kundi ma bulngunu. Wani muséké vékumuké kalik yawutékwa.


eng: saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”

abt: Kure ye anga wandarén, “Ani du nak pulak kundi wandékwa, Gorét waatakunanénngé. Nana apakundi yamba vékundékwe wa.”


eng: But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,

abt: Kukmba Romna néma du wandéka Galio ye Akaia provinsmba tékwa du dakwaké wa néma du téndén. Wani sapak Judasé nakurakmba jaawuwe Polét kulkiye kure yéndarén, kundi bulndakwa taalat, néma du Galioké.

abt: Ménale a téwutékwa. Wuna du dakwa némaamba wa téndakwa, ani gaayémba. Nak dunyansé ménat katik yaavan kurké daré.” Naandén.


eng: The Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, “Don’t be afraid, but speak and don’t be silent;

abt: Nak gaan nak Pol yéngan pulak kwaandén. Kwaandéka Néman Du dat anga wandén, “Ani gaayémba tékwa duké wup yaké yambak. Akwi du dakwat ma kundi kwayépékaménu wunéké. Wani jémbaa yaasékaké yambak.


eng: Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptized.

abt: Du nak déku yé Krispus néma du wa téndén Judasé kundi bulndakwa gaamba. Déku kémale wa Néman Duké yékunmba vékulakandarén. Korinmba tékwa némaamba du dakwa ras waak Polna kundi vékute Néman Duké yékunmba vékulakandarén. Vékulakandaka Néman Du Jisasna yémba det baptais kwayéndarén.


eng: When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.

abt: Kukmba Sailas ambét Timoti Masedonia provins taakatake wa yémbérén Korinét. Ye saambakmbéréka wa Pol du dakwat Jisaské kundi kwayéndén akwi nyaa. Kwayéte déku gaayé du dakwat anga wandén, “Jisas wan Got wan du Krais wa.”

eng: and because he practiced the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.

abt: Vétake bérale yaréte bérale talimba yandén jémbaa wa nakapuk yandén. De haus sel jémbaa wa yandarén.


eng: But certain men joined with him and believed, including Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

abt: Du dakwa ras déku kundi vékute wa Jisaské yékunmba vékulakandarén. Areopagus némbumba kundi bulkwa néma du nak, déku yé Dionisius, taakwa nak léku yé Damaris, du dakwa ras waak wunga wa de Jisaské yékunmba vékulakandarén.


eng: Thus Paul went out from among them.

abt: Wunga wandaka Pol de yaasékatake yéndén.


eng: Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked; but others said, “We want to hear you again concerning this.”

abt: Pol wunga wandéka de du ras du kiyaae taamale waarapndén kundi vékute déku kundiké wasélékte waangindarén. Waangindaka du ras anga wandarén, “Wani kundi nakapuk vékuké mawulé yanangwa.” Naandarén.


eng: because he has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom he has ordained; of which he has given assurance to all men, in that he has raised him from the dead.”

abt: Dé nyaa nakngé wa wandén. Wani nyaa dé wandu déku du nak néma kot vékukwa néma du rate akwi gaayémba tékwa du dakwa yan muséké kundi wakandékwa. Wani kundi waké yakwa du Got wa wakandéngndén.

Wani du yéku yapaté male yate Gotna kundi wakandékwa wani nyaa.” Naandén Pol.


eng: The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,

eng: Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold, or silver, or stone, engraved by art and design of man.

abt: Watake nakapuk anga wandén: “Ma véku. Deku kundi yéku kundi wa. Nané Gotna nyambalé a ténangwa. Du ras néma jémbaa yate wa késpulak nakpulak matumba maayéra taandarén. Got wan taandarén musé pulak yamba yé wa. Nané déku nyambalé téte wa wunga katik vékulakaké nané.


eng: ‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’

abt: “Talimba guna du ras déké anga wandarén: Dé wandéka nané yeyé yaayatéte apamama yate a yaténangwa. Wunga wandaka guna du ras wa déké anga viyaatakandarén: Nané waak déku nyambalé a ténangwa. Wunga viyaatakandarén.” Naandén Pol, wani némbumba rakwa dunyansat.


eng: that they should seek the Lord, if perhaps they might reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us.

abt: Anga wandén, ‘Akwi du dakwa wuna kundi vékukandakwa. Wunga wa mawulé yawutékwa. Kalmu wunéké waake waake wuna kundi yékunmba vékuké daré?’ Wunga vékulakate deku képmaa, kwaaréké waak wa wunga wandén. Nané yarénangwanmba wa randékwa. Dé apakmba yamba randékwe wa.


eng: He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons and the boundaries of their dwellings,

eng: He isn’t served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath and all things.

abt: Dé déku kapmang wa Néman Du randékwa, akwi muséké. Du jémbaa yate wani musé ras dat kwayéké wa yapatikandakwa. Wan déku musé wa. Dé akwi musé wa kwayéndékwa, akwi du dakwat. Dé wandéka nané akwi du dakwa yarénangwa. Dé wakapuk yamunaandu wa katik yaréké nané.


eng: The God who made the world and all things in it, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, doesn’t dwell in temples made with hands.

abt: “Got dé nyét képmaa akwi musé wa yandén. Yandén akwi muséké dé Néman Du wa randékwa. Néman Du rate du kaan gaamba yamba yaréndékwe wa.


eng: For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription: ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ What therefore you worship in ignorance, I announce to you.

eng: Paul stood in the middle of the Areopagus and said, “You men of Athens, I perceive that you are very religious in all things.

abt: Wani gaayéna néma dunyansé jaawuwe randarén, Areopagus némbumba. Randaka Pol deku ménimba téte anga wandén: “Atensmba tékwa dunyansé, guné késpulak nakpulak musat waatakungunénga wa véwutén.


eng: Now all the Athenians and the strangers living there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell or to hear some new thing.

abt: Akwi nyaa wani gaayé du, nak gaayémba yaae wani gaayémba tékwa duwale, sékét wunga jaawuwe kundi bulndarén. Kulé kundi vékute néma kundi bulte apapu wunga randarén.


eng: For you bring certain strange things to our ears. We want to know therefore what these things mean.”

abt: Ma waménu nané vékute wani kundi vékusék-nganangwa.” Naandarén.


eng: They took hold of him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is, which you are speaking about?

abt: Watake Polét anga wandarén, “Nanale sékét ma waarékwak, Areopagus némbat. Wamba nana néma du kundi bulmuké jaawuwe randakwa.” Naandaka dele yéndén. Ye saambakndéka dat anga wandarén, “Kulé kundi wa waménéngwa. Bulaa wani kundi vékuké mawulé yanangwa. Talimba wani kundi yamba vékunangwe wa.


eng: Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also were conversing with him. Some said, “What does this babbler want to say?” Others said, “He seems to be advocating foreign deities,” because he preached Jesus and the resurrection.

abt: Epikurianna kundiké vékusékngwa du ras, Stoikna kundiké vékusékngwa du ras de waak Polale kundi bulndarén. Ras anga wandarén, “Ani waangété du baka kundi wa bulndékwa.

Wunga wandéka de déku kundi vékusék-ngapuk yate wa wani kundi wandarén.


eng: So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who met him.

abt: Kalik yate wani muséké kundi bulndén, Judasé kundi bulndakwa gaamba. Dale nakurak kundi bulkwa dunyansé, Gorét waatakukwa nak gaayé du, wunga dele wa kundi bulndén. Akwi nyaa du dakwa jaawundakwa taalémba waak wa wani muséké kundi bulndén, wamba tékwa duwale.


eng: Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw the city full of idols.

abt: Pol Sailas ambét Timotiké wa kaavéréndén Atensmba. Kaavéréte véndén némaamba papungot wani gaayémba tékéséndaka. Vétake de wani papungorét waatakumuké kalik yandén.


eng: But those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens. Receiving a commandment to Silas and Timothy that they should come to him very quickly, they departed.

abt: Polale sékét yékwa apu waak Atensét wa yéndarén. Ye Pol det anga wandén, “Sailas ambét Timotit ma wangunék, anga bari yaae wunale yarémbérénngé.” Naandén. Wunga watake wamba téndéka dé yaasékatake waambule yéndarén Beriat.


eng: Then the brothers immediately sent out Paul to go as far as to the sea, and Silas and Timothy still stayed there.

abt: Yandaka Jisaské yékunmba vékulakakwa dunyan bari wandaka Pol du rasale sékét wunga yéndarén, solwara aarkat. Yéndaka Sailas ambét Timoti Beriamba yarémbérén.


eng: But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was proclaimed by Paul at Beroea also, they came there likewise, agitating the multitudes.

abt: Tesalonaikamba tékwa Judasé vékundarén Pol Gotna kundi Beriamba wandéka. Vékute kalik yate wa yéndarén Beriat. Ye saambake du dakwa Pol ambét Sailasét rakarka yandarénngé watake kundi kutakwete wandarén. Wandaka wa némaamba du dakwa deku kundi vékute Pol ambét Sailasét rakarka yandarén.

abt: Wunga yate némaamba du dakwa Jisaské yékunmba vékulakandarén. Grik néma du dakwa némaamba de waak Jisaské yékunmba vékulakandarén.


eng: Now these were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.

abt: Beriamba tékwa Juda du dakwa yéku mawulé vékundarén. Deku yéku yapaté Tesalonaikamba tékwa du dakwana yéku yapatat wa taalékéran. De Polna kundi vékute néma mawulé wa yandarén.

eng: The brothers immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea. When they arrived, they went into the Jewish synagogue.

abt: Gaan yandéka de Jisaské yékunmba vékulakakwa du wandaka, Pol ambét Sailas Tesalonaika taakatake yémbérén Beriat. Ye saambake Judasé kundi bulndakwa gaat wulaambérén.

eng: The multitude and the rulers of the city were troubled when they heard these things.

abt: Wunga wandaka wamba tékwa du dakwa rakarka yate wa némaanmba waandarén.


eng: whom Jason has received. These all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus!”

eng: When they didn’t find them, they dragged Jason and certain brothers before the rulers of the city, crying, “These who have turned the world upside down have come here also,

Bulaa wani du vétik nana gaayét a yaambérén.


eng: But the unpersuaded Jews took along some wicked men from the marketplace and gathering a crowd, set the city in an uproar. Assaulting the house of Jason, they sought to bring them out to the people.

abt: Juda du ras Jisaské yékunmba vékulakakapuk yate véndarén némaamba du dakwa Polna kundi vékundaka. Véte wa kalik yandarén.

eng: Some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas: of the devout Greeks a great multitude, and not a few of the chief women.

abt: Vékute de ras anga wandarén, “Yi wan wanana wa.” Naandarén. Wunga watake Pol ambét Sailasale Jisasna jémbaa yandarén. Gorét waatakukwa Grik du dakwa némaamba, wani gaayémba yarékwa néma taakwa némaamba, de waak wa bérale sékét Jisasna jémbaa yandarén.


eng: Paul, as was his custom, went in to them; and for three Sabbath days reasoned with them from the Scriptures,

eng: But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly without a trial, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison! Do they now release us secretly? No, most certainly, but let them come themselves and bring us out!”

abt: Wunga wandéka Pol gaayéké séngite kaavérékwa duwat anga wandén, “Aané Rom du a. Aané Rom du pulak a tétékwa. Rom duwat wandakwa kundi wa aanat waak wa wandakwa.

abt: Yandéka Pol némaanmba waate anga wandén, “Méno, ména sépé yaavan kurké yambak. Nané akwi a rakwa.”

eng: But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.

abt: Wani taakwana néma dunyansé wa véndarén, yéwaa yaalan yaambu késndéka. Vétake wa Pol ambét Sailasét kulkindarén. Kulkiye apamama ye jaawundakwa taalat bét kure yéndarén, néma duké.


eng: She was doing this for many days. But Paul, becoming greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” It came out that very hour.

abt: Akwi nyaa wungat male yalén. Yaléka kukmba Pol wani muséké saalaku yasékéyakndén. Yate waalakwe wani kutakwat anga wandén, “Jisas Krais mayé apa tiyaandéka déku yémba a wawutékwa.

eng: Following Paul and us, she cried out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us a way of salvation!”

abt: Polale yénanga lé nanale yéte némaanmba waate anga walén, “Wani dunyansé wan Néman Du Gorké jémbaa yakwa du wa. Got gunat yékun yandu kurkale tépékaaké yangunéngwanngé wa kundi kwayéndakwa.” Naalén.


eng: As we were going to prayer, a certain girl having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune telling.

abt: Nak nyaa yénanén, Gorale kundi bulndakwa taalat. Yénanga jémbaa yate yéwaa kéraakapuk yakwa taakwa nak nanat yaambumba vélén. Wani taakwana mawulémba kutakwa nak wa tan.

eng: When she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.” So she persuaded us.

abt: Vékuléka nané Jisasna yémba lat baptais kwayétake lale nakurak gaamba yarékwa du dakwat waak Jisasna yémba baptais kwayénanén.

Wunga wate apamama yaléka nané léku kundi vékutake wa yénanén léku gaat.


eng: A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us. The Lord opened her heart to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.

abt: Vétake dele rate kundi bulnanén. Kundi bulrénanga taakwa nak léku yé Lidia nana kundi vékulén. Taiatairamba talimba yaae wa gwaavé laplapale jémbaa yate néma yéwaa kéraalén.

eng: On the Sabbath day we went outside of the city by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.

abt: Yaap yaré nyaa gaayé yaasékatake wa kaambélat yénanén. Yéte anga wananén, “Kalmu daré Juda du dakwa amba jaawuwe ro, Gorale kundi bulmuké?” Wunga vékulakate ye saambake vénanén dakwa ras jaawuwe randaka.


eng: and from there to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the foremost of the district, a Roman colony. We were staying some days in this city.

abt: Ye sipmba daawuliye Neapolis taakatake Filipait yénanén. Talimba Rom du némaamba deku képmaa yaasékatake ye wani gaayémba wa saambake yaréndarén. Wani gaayé Masedonia provinsmba wa téndén. Wan néma gaayé wa. Nyaa ras wani gaayémba wa yarénanén.


eng: Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;

abt: Sipmba waare nané Troas taakatake Samotres ailanét bari yénanén. Ye kwaae ganmbamba waarape Samotres taakatake Neapolisét yénanén sipmba.


eng: When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the Good News to them.

abt: Wunga wandéka Pol wani kundi vékutake vélérkiyaae waarape wandéka Masedonia provinsét yémuké wa yaambuké waakndarén. Waakndaka wuné ani nyéngaa viyaatakan du dele yaambuké wa waakwutén.

eng: A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him and saying, “Come over into Macedonia and help us.”

abt: Ye gaan yéngan pulak kwaae Pol véndén Masedonia du nak téndéka. Téte Polét anga wandén, “Ma bari yaae nanat yékun yaménék.” Naandén.


eng: Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.

abt: Wunga wandéka Misia distrik taalékératake Troasét yéndarén.


eng: When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit didn’t allow them.

abt: Gotna Yaamabi dé Pol Sailas Timoti derét wak, “Guné Esiana képmaaba Jisasna kudi wakwemarék yaké guné yo.” Naate wadéka de Prisiana képmaaba, Galesiana képmaaba wawo yéte Misiana képmaa saabe de Bitiniana képmaat yéké nae de yak. Yadaka dé Jisasna Yaamabi derét wak, “Kaapuk. Yémarék yaké guné yo.”


eng: So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.

abt: Det wandaka Jisasna jémbaamba yaalan du dakwa vékundarén. Vékute apamama ye téndarén. Jisasna kundi yamba yaasékandakwe wa. Akwi nyaa némaamba du dakwa de waak Jisasna jémbaamba yaalandarén.


eng: As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.

abt: Akwi gaayémba yéte Jisaské yékunmba vékulakakwa du dakwat wandarén, Jerusalemmba tékwa Jisasna kundi kure yékwa dunyansé, néma dusé waak wan wani apakundiké. Watake det anga wandarén, “Wani apakundi ma vékwe wandékwa pulak yangunék.” Naandarén.


eng: Paul wanted to have him go out with him, and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.

abt: Yate Judana apakundi vékute Timotina sépé sékundén. Timotina aapa Grik du téte Judana apakundi yamba vékundékwe wa. Yate talimba déku nyaan Timotina sépé yamba sékundékwe wa.

eng: The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.

abt: Jisaské yékunmba vékulakate Listramba tékwa du dakwa, Aikoniammba tékwa du dakwa waak Timotiké anga wandarén, “Wan yéku du wa dé.” Naandarén. Pol mawulé yandén, Timoti dale yéndénngé.


eng: He came to Derbe and Lystra; and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess who believed, but his father was a Greek.

abt: Pol Derbet yéndén. Ye kukmba Listrat yéndén. Jisaské yékunmba vékulakakwa du nak déku yé Timoti Listramba yaréndén. Déku aasa waak Jisaské yékunmba vékulakarélén. Lé Juda taakwa wa. Déku aapa dé Grik du wa. Juda yamba wa.


eng: but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.

abt: Pol Sailasnyét dé wak, dé wale yéduké. Wadéka de Jisasna jébaaba yaalan du de dérét wak, “Béné yébénu Got bénéké mawulé lékte bénat kutkalé yaké dé yo. Waga naané dérét waato.”

eng: Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,

abt: Naandéka waarumbérén, wani muséké. Waaruwe bét kapmang kapmang yémbérén. Barnabas Makét kure bét sipmba waare yémbérén, Saiprus ailanét.


eng: But Paul didn’t think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and didn’t go with them to do the work.

abt: Yandéka Pol wani muséké kalik yate anga wandén, “Talimba Jon Mak Pamfiliamba aané yaasékatake wa yéndén. Aanale akwi jémbaa yaké yamba yaandékwe wa. Bulaa aanale sékét katik yéké dé.” Naandén.


eng: Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.

abt: Naandéka Barnabas nak du déku yé Jon Mak bérale yéndénngé wa mawulé yandén.


eng: After some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s return now and visit our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”

abt: Kukmba Pol Barnabasét anga wandén, “Sékét ma waambule yétu talimba yétén gaayét. Ye Jisasna jémbaamba yaalan du dakwat vékatékwa. Yékunmba daré yaro kapuk? Késépéri gaayémba kundi wa kwayétén, Néman Duké. Wani gaayét nakapuk ma waambule yétu.”


eng: After they had spent some time there, they were dismissed in peace from the brothers to the apostles.

abt: Radaka bét wik vétik kupuk wani gayéba rak. Re Jerusalemét gwaamale yéké yabétka de Jisasna jébaaba yaalan du bérét wak, “Béné miték yéké béné yo.” Naate wadaka bét tépa gwaamale yék, Jerusalemba rakwa duké. Déknyényba wani du de bérét wak, yébéruké.


eng: But it was seen to Silas, to dwell there; and Judas went alone to Jeru-salem.

abt: [Sailas raké mawulé yate dé Antiokba rak.]


eng: But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.

abt: Pol ambét Barnabas némaamba baapmu wa yarémbérén Antiokmba. Yare Jisasna jémbaamba yaalan du dakwat néma kundi kwayéndarén, Néman Duké. Du ras waak det kundi kwayéndarén, Néman Duké.


eng: Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.

abt: Bét Gotna yémba kundi kwayékwa du téte bét néma kundi wa kwayémbérén, Jisasna jémbaamba yaalan du dakwat. Wambéréka de yéku mawulé kéraae wup yakapuk yate wa apamama ye yaréndarén.


eng: When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.

abt: Kwayémbéréka viyaatakandarén kundi véndaka deku mawulé yékun yan.


eng: So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.

abt: De wunga viyaae nyéngaa kwayéte wandaka bét deku kundi kure yékwa du Pol ambét Barnabasale wunga yéndarén Antiokét. Ye Judas ambét Sailas wambéréka wa Jisasna jémbaamba yaalan akwi du dakwa jaawuwe randarén. Randaka wani nyéngaa kwayémbérén.


eng: that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell.”

abt: Ani apakundi male ma vékungunék. Papungorké kwayéndarén kwaami kaké yambak. Nyéki kaké yambak. Kwaalémba gindarén kwaami kaké yambak. Nak du dakwale kapéremusé yaké yambak. Wani kundi vékute yékunmba yakangunéngwa. Yate yékunmba yarékangunéngwa. Kundi a viyaasékéyak-nanén.”


eng: For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:

abt: Gotna Yaamambi nanale randéka nané nakurakmawulé yate kundi bule anga wanangwa: Guné nané Judana apakundi akwi vékuké yambak.


eng: We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.

abt: Bét ye gunat nana kundi kwayékambérékwa. Bét viyaatakanangwa kundi wakambérékwa.


eng: men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

abt: Bét wup yakapuk yate wa nana Néman Duké jémbaa yambérékwa. Déké jémbaa yambéréka du ras bérét viyaandékngé yandarén. Judas ambét Sailasét wa wananén, yémbérénngé.


eng: it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

abt: Yandaka jaawuwe rate wa kundi bulnanén, wani muséké. Kundi bule nakurakmawulé yate nana du vétikét wa wananén, gunéké nana kundi kure yémbérénngé. Bét nana du Barnabas ambét Polale sékét yékambérékwa. Barnabas ambét Polké wa néma mawulé yanangwa.


eng: Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, ‘You must be circumcised and keep the law,’ to whom we gave no commandment;

abt: Guné Jisaské yékunmba vékulakakwa du dakwa nana aanyé waayéka nyangengu pulak wa téngunéngwa. Nanale tan du ras gunéké ye gunat kundi ras wa wandarén. Wandaka guné vékwe wa sémbéraa yangunén. Sémbéraa yangunénga wa vékunanén. Wani du deku mawulémba vékulakate wa gunat kundi kwayéndarén. Nané det wani kundi yamba wanangwe wa.


eng: They wrote these things by their hand: “The apostles, the elders, and the brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.

abt: Ani kundi nyéngaamba anga viyaae bérét kwayéndarén, Antiokmba tékwa du dakwaké kure yémbérénngé: “Guno, nané Jisasna kundi kure yaakwa dunyansé, maaka dunyansale aanyé waayéka pulak wa ténangwa. Siria provins, Silisia provins, Antiokmba tékwa nak gaayé du dakwa, gunéké wa ani nyéngaa viyaatakanangwa.


eng: Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.

abt: Jems wunga wandéka Jisasna kundi kure yékwa dunyansé, maaka dunyansé, Jisasna jémbaamba yaalan du ras waak kundi bule anga wandarén, “Nanale yarékwa du ras de waak Pol ambét Barnabasale sékét ma yéndaru Antiokét.” Naatake de Judas déku nak yé Barsabas ambét Sailasét wandarén, yémbérénngé. Wani néma duké anga wandarén, “Wan yéku du wa.” Naandarén.


eng: For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”

abt: Wunga ma viyaatakakwak deké. Talimba, bulaa waak, du ras Moses wan apakundi kwayéndakwa akwi gaayémba. Yaap yaré nyaa akwi Moses wan apakundi véte wandakwa, Gotna kundi bulndakwa gaamba. Véte wandaka wani gaayémba tékwa du wani kundi vékundakwa. Wunga wa vékuséknangwa.” Naandén Jems.


eng: but that we write to them that they abstain from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.

abt: Nané nyéngaa nak ma viyaatakakwak deké. Anga ma viyaatakakwak: Papungorké kwayéndarén kwaami kaké yambak. Wan kapére kwaami wa. Nak du dakwale kapéremusé yaké yambak. Kwaalémba gindarén kwaami kaké yambak. Nyéki kaké yambak.


eng: Therefore my judgment is that we don’t trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,

abt: Watake nakapuk anga wandén, “Wuna mawulémba vékulakate anga wawutékwa. Gorké yékunmba vékulakakwa nak gaayé du dakwaké néma jémbaa katik kwayéké nané. Det anga katik waké nané, ‘Guné Judana apakundi ma vékungunék.’ Wunga katik waké nané.


eng: that the rest of men may seek after the Lord: all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who does all these things.’

abt: Rado de nak du taakwa wawo wuna kudi véknwuké mawulé yaké de yo. Nak gena du taakwa akwi wuna kudi véknwuké mawulé yaké de yo. Wawurén du taakwa wuna du taakwa raké de yo.’


eng: “All of God’s works are known to him from eternity.

abt: Néman Du talimba wunga wandén. Bulaa waak wunga wandékwa. Wunga wandéka wa Gotna yémba kundi kwayétan du nak viyaatakandén.” Naandén Jems.


abt: Naate dé Némaan Ban déknyényba wak. Bulaa wawo waga dé wo. Wadéka waga dé Gotna yéba kudi wakwen du nak dé kavik.”


eng: This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,

abt: Talimba Gotna yémba kundi kwayétan du nak wani muséké anga viyaatakandén Gotna nyéngaamba:


eng: Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name.

abt: Got nak gaayé du dakwa rasét wandéka déku kundi vékute déku jémbaamba wa yaalandarén. Yaale déku du dakwa wa téndakwa. Saimon gunat wunga kundi kwayéndén.


eng: After they were silent, James answered, “Brothers, listen to me.

abt: Kwayémbéréka Jems anga wandén, “Wuna aanyé waayéka, wuna kundi ma vékungunék.


eng: All the multitude kept silence, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.

abt: Wandéka yakélak rate vékuréndaka, wa Barnabas ambét Pol det kundi kwayémbérén, nak gaayé du dakwa véténdaka Got bérale téndéka nak pulak apanjémba yambérénngé.


eng: But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”

abt: Anga male ma yandaru. Néman Du Jisaské yékunmba ma vékulakandarék. Néman Du Jisaské yékunmba vékulakananga wa nanéké sémbéraa yandékwa.

eng: He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.

abt: “Got nakurak kundi male wa akwi du dakwat wandékwa. Nané Juda du dakwat wani kundi wa wandékwa. Nak gaayé du dakwat waak wani kundi male wa wandékwa. Nak gaayé du dakwa ras déké yékunmba vékulakandaka wa deku kapére mawulé kururéndén.


eng: God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.

abt: Got akwi du dakwana mawulé wa vékusékndékwa. Vékusékte nak gaayé du dakwana mawulé waak vékusékte det déku Yaamambi wa kwayéndén, nanat talimba tiyaandén pulak. Deké waak wa mawulé yandén. Deké yamba kuk kwayéndékwe wa. Yandéka véte wunga wa vékuséknangwa.


eng: When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News and believe.

abt: Jaawuwe rate néma kundi bulndaka Pita waarape téte anga wandén, “Wuna aanyé waayéka, ma vékungunu.

Got wandéka wa ye det kundi kwayéwutén, Néman Duké yékunmba vékulakandarénngé.


eng: The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.

abt: Wandaka Jisasna kundi kure yékwa dunyansé, maaka dunyansé waak wani muséké kundi bulmuké wa jaawundarén.


eng: But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.”

abt: Wambéréka Jisasna jémbaamba yaalan du ras Farisi dunyanséna kundi vékute anga wandarén, “Nak gaayé du Jisasna jémbaamba yaalaké mawulé yate, taale deku sépé ma sékundaru. Sékute wa Moses wan apakundi wa vékukandakwa. Wunga ye Jisasna jémbaamba yénga yaalandaru.” Naandarén.


eng: When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly and the apostles and the elders, and they reported everything that God had done with them.

abt: Yaténdaka ye wa Jerusalemmba saambakndarén. Saambakndaka wamba yatékwa Jisasna jémbaamba yaalan du dakwa, Jisasna yémba kundi kwayékwa dunyansat, maaka dunyansat waak, wa det anga wandarén, “Yéku mawulé vékute ma yaréngunék.” Wunga wandaka Pol ambét Barnabas det wambérén, Got bérale randéka yambérén jémbaaké.


eng: Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul, Barnabas, and some others of them to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.

abt: Wunga wandaka Pol ambét Barnabas rakarka ye kalik yate dele waarumbérén, wani muséké. Waarundaka Jisaské yékunmba vékulakakwa du ras anga wandarén, “Pol ambét Barnabas, Antiokmba tékwa Jisasna jémbaamba yaalan du ras waak de ma yéndaru, Jerusalemét. Ye Jisasna kundi kure yékwa dunyansale, néma dusale de ma kundi bulndaru, waarundarén kundiké.” Naandarén.


eng: Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you can’t be saved.”

abt: Juda dunyansé ras deku képmaa yaasékatake yéndarén Antiokét. Ye Jisasna jémbaamba yaalan dunyansat anga wandarén, “Moses wan apakundi vékute sépé sékukapuk yamunaae, wa katik kulémawulé kéraae yékunmba rapékaké guné.”


eng: They stayed there with the disciples for a long time.

abt: Watake baapmu kulémba wa Jisasna jémbaamba yaalan du dakwale yarémbérén wani gaayémba.


eng: When they had arrived and had gathered the assembly together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.

abt: Antiokmba saambake wambéréka Jisasna jémbaamba yaalan du dakwa jaawuwe randarén. Randaka det ani kundi wambérén, “Got aanale téndéka wa jémbaa yatén. Got wandéka nak gaayé du dakwa waak wa Jisaské yékunmba vékulakandarén.” Naatake yambérén akwi muséké wa wambérén.


eng: From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.

abt: Ye sipmba waare Antiokét waambule yémbérén. Talimba wani gaayémba Jisasna jémbaamba yaalan dunyan bérét anga wandarén, “Gotna Yaamambi wan jémbaa ma yambénék. Yambénu Got bénat yékun yakandékwa.” Naandaka ye wani jémbaa yasékéyaktake wa waambule yémbérén.


eng: When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.

abt: Waambule ye Jisaské kundi nakapuk kwayémbérén Pergamba. Kwayétake Ataliat daawulimbérén.


eng: They passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.

abt: Naatake Pisidia distrikmba ye Pamfilia provinsét waambule yémbérén.


eng: When they had appointed elders for them in every assembly, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord on whom they had believed.

abt: Wunga wambéréka wani gaayémba Jisasna jémbaamba yaalan du dakwa jaawuwe téndaka bét deku du rasét wambérén, de deku néma du téndarénngé. Watake Néman Duké vékulakate kakému kakapuk ye dat anga wambérén, “Wani du dakwa wa ménéké yékunmba vékulakandakwa. Méné det ma yékun yaménu ména taambamba yékunmba yarékandakwa.” Naambérén.


eng: strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.

abt: Ye Jisaské yékunmba vékulakakwa du dakwat anga kundi kwayémbérén, “Guna mawulé yékun ma yandu. Yandu guné apamama ye téte Jisasna kundi yaasékaké yambak. Kapéremusé nanéké yaandu apamama ye ténanu Got néma du rate nanéké yékunmba vékandékwa. Véndu wa yékunmba yarépéka-kanangwa.”


eng: When they had preached the Good News to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,

abt: Pol ambét Barnabas Néman Du Jisaské kundi kwayémbérén Derbemba. Kwayémbéréka némaamba du dakwa vékute Jisaské yékunmba vékulakandarén. Vékulakandaka Listrat waambule yémbérén. Ye Aikoniamét waambule ye Pisidiamba tékwa gaayé Antiokét waambule yémbérén.


eng: But as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Barnabas to Derbe.

abt: Wulaandaka Jisaské yékunmba vékulakakwa du Pol kwaanmba jaawuwe téndaka wa dé waarapndén. Waarape gaayét wulaandén. Wulaae kwaae ganmbamba waarape Barnabasale wani gaayé yaasékatake sékét yémbérén Derbet.


eng: But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.

abt: Juda du ras Pisidia distrikmba tékwa gaayé Antiok, Aikoniammba waak wa yaandarén. Yaae Pol ambét Barnabaské kapére kundi wandaka wani gaayémba tékwa du dakwa deku kundi vékundarén.

eng: Even saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a sacrifice to them.

abt: Kukmba nak gaayé du ras, Juda du ras, deku néma du ras, wunga dekét deku kapmang bulte anga wandarén, “Bérét yaavan kurkanangwa. Bérét matut viyaandék-nganangwa.”

eng: Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

abt: Baapmu kulémba wa Pol ambét Barnabas wani gaayémba yarémbérén. Yaréte wup yakapuk yate wa kundi kwayémbérén, Néman Duké.

eng: The Lord’s word was spread abroad throughout all the region.

abt: Wani taalémba némaamba du dakwat wa Néman Duna kundi kwayéndarén.


eng: As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of God. As many as were appointed to eternal life believed.

Got wunga wandéka wa viyaatakandarén.” Naambérén Pol ambét Barnabas.


eng: Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, “It was necessary that God’s word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from yourselves, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.

abt: Wasélékte dat waarundaka Pol ambét Barnabas apamama yate wup yakapuk yate anga wambérén, “Taale guné Juda du dakwat wa aané Gotna kundi kwayétén. Wan yékun wa.

Bulaa aané guné yaasékatake nak gaayé du dakwat Gotna kundi kwayémuké wa yékatékwa.


eng: But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.

abt: Randaka Juda du ras némaamba du dakwa jaawuwe randaka véte kalik yate wa rakarka yandarén. Yate Pol, déku kundiké waak wa wasélékndarén.

abt: Yaap yaré nyaa yaandéka wani gaayémba tékwa du dakwa némaamba Néman Duna kundi vékumuké wa yaae jaawuwe randarén.


eng: ‘Behold, you scoffers! Wonder and perish, for I work a work in your days, a work which you will in no way believe, if one declares it to you.’”

eng: Beware therefore, lest that come on you which is spoken in the prophets:

eng: and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

abt: Wuna du, mé véknwu. Wani ban wan Jisas. Got Jisasna jébaat vétakne guna kapéredi mawulé dé yatnyéputiyu. Wani kudi gunat ané wakweyo. Guné ana kudi véknwute wani muké miték kutdéngké guné yo.

Radu miték ramarék yaké guné yo.


eng: But he whom God raised up saw no decay.

abt: Got wandéka wa kiyaan du nak taamale waarapndéka déku pusaa yamba biyaawundékwe wa.


eng: For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, was laid with his fathers, and saw decay.

abt: “Wani kundi nak duké wa wandékwa. Devirké yamba wandékwe wa. Devit yaréte Gotna jémbaa yékunmba wa yandén. Yatake kiyaandéka déku gwaal waaranga maandéka bakamuale dé rémndaka wa déku pusaa biyaawan.


eng: Therefore he says also in another psalm, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’

abt: Got wunga wandéka viyaatakandéka nak kundi anga wa kwaakwa: Méné Got, méné waménu ména yéku duna pusaa katik biyaawuké dé.


eng: “Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.’

abt: “Nakurak apu Got wandu Jisas taamale waarapndu déku pusaa biyaawukapuk yaké yakwanngé, wa wandén. Wandéka du nak Gotna nyéngaamba anga viyaatakandén: Talimba Devirét wa wawutén, dat yékun yawutu yékunmba yaréké yandékwanngé. Gunat waak yékun yakawutékwa. Yi wan wanana wa.


eng: that God has fulfilled this to us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, ‘You are my Son. Today I have become your father.’

abt: “Ani yéku kundi gunat kwayémuké wa yaatén, guna gaayét. Talimba Got nana gwaal waaranga maandéka bakamat yékun yaké yandékwa kundi wa wandén. Watake bulaa dé nané deku gwaal waaranga maandéka bakamat wa yékun yandén. Dé wandéka Jisas taamale waarapndénmba wa Got wungamba wa nanat yékun yandén.

Wuné wawutéka bulaa méné wuna nyaan téte néma du wa raménéngwa.’ Naandén Got. Wunga wandéka wunga viyaatakandén.


eng: and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.

abt: Waarapndéka kukmba dale Galili distrik yaasékatake Jerusalemét yén du dakwa wa dé véndarén késépéri nyaa. Vétake wa bulaa Israel du dakwat kundi kwayéndakwa déké.


eng: But God raised him from the dead,

abt: Rémtakandaka Got wandéka wa nakapuk taamale waarapndén.


eng: When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.

abt: Gotna yémba kundi kwayétan du talimba dunyan ras Jisasét kapéremusé yaké yandakwanngé Gotna nyéngaamba wa viyaatakandarén. Viyaatakandaka kukmba Jerusalemmba tékwa du wani akwi musé Jisasét wa yandarén. Ye déku pusaa takwemimba lepékwe kure ye kwaawumba rémndarén.


eng: Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.

abt: “Jisas kapéremusé yamba yandékwe wa. Yandéka dat viyaandékngé wate wa paapu yandén. Paapu yate wa néma du Pailarét wandarén, déku dunyan Jisasét viyaandékndarénngé.


eng: For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they didn’t know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.

abt: Tiyaandéka Jisas det yékun yamuké yaandéka Jerusalemmba tékwa du dakwa deku néma du waak déké yamba vékusékndakwe wa. Akwi yaap yaré nyaa wa vékundarén néma du ras Gotna nyéngaamba véte Gotna yémba kundi kwayétan du viyaatakan kundi véte némaanmba wandaka. Vékute wani kundiké yamba vékusékndakwe wa.

eng: “Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to you.

abt: Watake anga wandén, “Wuna dunyansé, Abrahamna gwaal waaranga maandéka bakamu, amba tékwa Gorét waatakukwa nak gaayé du akwi, ma vékungunék. Got nanat yékun yaké yandékwa kundi nanat wa tiyaandén.


eng: As John was fulfilling his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, one comes after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’

abt: Wunga watake déku jémbaa yasékéyakngé yate anga wandén, ‘Wunéké yénga guné wo? Wuné kandé? Wuné néma du yamba yé wa. Nak duké wa kaavéré-ngunéngwa. Wunéké yamba kaavéré-ngunéngwe wa. Ma véku.

eng: From this man’s offspring, God has brought salvation to Israel according to his promise,

abt: Wunga watake kukmba nakapuk anga wandén, ‘Wawutu Israelsat yékun yaké yakwa du yaakandékwa. Yaae Satanna taambamba wa de kéraakandékwa. Yi wan wanana wa.’ Wunga watake kukmba wandéka Devitna gwaal waaranga maandéka bakamu Jisas wa yaan.


eng: When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’

abt: Te Gotna kundi vékukapuk yandéka, Got wakandéngtakandéka wa Devit deku néma du téndén. Got Devirké anga wandén, ‘Jesina nyaan Devirké néma mawulé yawutékwa. Dé wuna kundi vékukandékwa.’ Naandén.


eng: Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

abt: “Kukmba de Israelsé Gorét anga wandarén, ‘Ma waménu néma du nak dé déku kapmang nanéké yékunmba véréndu.’ Wunga wandaka Got wandéka Kisna nyaan Sol deku néma du téndén. Dé Benjaminna kém wa. Kwaaré dumi vétik (40) wa deku néma du téndén.


eng: After these things, he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.

abt: Némaamba (450) kwaaré wa wamba yaréndarén. Yaréndaka kukmba Got wandéka de néma dunyansé Israel du dakwaké yékunmba véréndarén. Véréndaka kukmba Gotna yémba kundi kwayétan du Samuel dé waak néma du rate Israel du dakwaké yékunmba véréndén.


eng: When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land for an inheritance for about four hundred fifty years.

abt: Rapékate wandéka de Kenan képmaamba tén néma gaayé taambak kaayék vétikmba (7) tén némaamba du dakwa wa viyaandarén. Viyaatake Israel dunyansé ye deku képmaa kéraae wamba yaréndarén.


eng: For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.

abt: De kure gwaande kwaaré dumi vétik (40) wa dele randén, du yarékapuk taalémba. Nakurak apu nakurak apu déku kundi vékumuké kalik yandaka wa Got dele rapékandén.


eng: The God of this people chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as aliens in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it.

abt: Talimba Israelséna néma du Got wa nana gwaal waaranga maandéka bakamat wandén, déku kundi vékundarénngé.

Yandaka Got apamama yate wa de kure gwaandéndén Isipmba.


eng: Paul stood up, and gesturing with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.

abt: Wunga wandéka Pol waarape téte taamba kusoréte anga wandén: “Guno, Israel dunyansé, amba rate Gorét waatakukwa nak gaayé du akwi, ma vékungunu.


eng: After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak.”

abt: Rambéréka wani gaana néma du Gotna nyéngaamba véte Moses talimba viyaatakan apakundi ras véte némaanmba wandén. Watake dé Gotna kundi kwayétan du talimba viyaatakan kundi ras véte némaanmba wandén.

eng: But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.

abt: Waambule yéndéka Pol ambét Barnabas Perga taakatake képmaamba Antiokét yémbérén. Wani gaayé Pisidia distrikmba wa téndékwa. Ye wamba téte yaap yaré nyaa bét Juda kundi bulndakwa gaat wulaambérén. Wulaae rambérén.


eng: Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.

abt: Pol déku duwale sékét sipmba waare Pafos taakatake ye Pergamba saambakndarén. Wani gaayé Pamfilia provinsmba wa téndékwa. Saambake Jon Mak dé bét yaasékatake Jerusalemét waambule yéndén.


eng: Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season!” Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.

abt: Ma véku. Bulaa Néman Du ménat viyaakandékwa. Viyaandu ména méni kiyaakandékwa. Kiyaandu némaamba nyaa yare méné katik véké méné.” Naandén Pol. Wunga wandéka gélé buwi pulak musé gaaye déku méni kuttépéndéka wa Elimasna méni kiyaan. Kiyaandéka wunga yé, wunga yé yatéte du dakwat wandén, déku taambamba kure yéndarénngé.


eng: When they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar Jesus,

abt: Banabas bét Sol képmaaba yéte bét Saiprasna gege gayét yéte bét Pepos saabak. Ye saabe bét vék kus mayéra yakwa dut nak déku yé Ba-Jisas. Wan Judana du. Dé wak, “Wuné Gotna kudi wuné wakweyo.” Naate wate dé yénaa yak.


eng: who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.

abt: Dé Saiprasna némaan ban wale dé rak. Wani némaan banna yé Sesias Polas. Dé yéknwun mawulé pukaakwa du. Dé wadéka bét Banabas bét Sol yaabétka dé bérét wak, “Wuné Gotna kudi véknwuké wuné. Béné wunat mé wakwe wani kudi.”


eng: But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.

abt: Naate wadéka dé wani kus mayéra yakwa du, Saiprasna némaan ban dé Jisaské miték sanévéknwumuké kélik yate, dé wak, “Kaapuk. Bét ménat wakwemarék yaké bét yo.” Wani du Gérikna kudiba déku yé kéga de wak, “Elimas.”


eng: and said, “You son of the devil, full of all deceit and all cunning, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

abt: Elimas wunga wandéka Gotna Yaamambi Solna mawulémba wulaae apamama yaréndén. Yaréndéka Sol déku nak yé Pol wa, Elimasét vésékte dat anga wandén, “Méné Satanna du wa. Kutakwana néma du Satan ména mawulémba wa téndékwa. Akwi yéku muséké wa kalik yaménéngwa. Papukundi male wa waménéngwa. Kapére mawulé wa vékuté-pékaaménéngwa. Apapu apapu Néman Duna kundi wa yaavan kutménéngwa.


eng: When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed God’s word in the Jewish synagogues. They also had John as their attendant.

abt: Ye Salamismba saambakmbérén. Saambake Gotna kundi kwayémbérén, Judana kundi bulndakwa gaamba. Jon Mak sékét bérale Jisasna jémbaa wa yandén.


eng: So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.

abt: Gotna Yaamambi wandéka Barnabas ambét Sol Selusiat yémbérén. Ye sipmba waare Saiprus ailanét yémbérén.


eng: Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

abt: Naandéka kakému kakapuk yate Gorét waatakutake bérku maakamba taamba taakate anga wandarén, “Ma yémbénu, Gotna Yaamambi wan jémbaa yamuké.” Naandarén.


eng: As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them.”

abt: Nakurak apu Antiokmba tékwa Jisasna jémbaamba yaalan du dakwa Néman Duké vékulakate kakému kakapuk yate Néman Duwat waatakundaka Gotna Yaamambi det anga wandén, “Ma wangunu Barnabas ambét Sol wawutén jémbaa yambéru.”


eng: Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

abt: Antiokmba tékwa Jisasna jémbaamba yaalan du ras Gotna yémba kundi kwayéndarén. Ras de du dakwat yakwasnyéndarén Jisasna jémbaaké. Wani dunyanséna yé anga wa: Barnabas, Sol, Simeon déku nak yé Géléndu, Sairini du Lusius, néma du Herotna naawindu Manain.


eng: Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem when they had fulfilled their service, also taking with them John who was called Mark.

abt: Barnabas ambét Sol Jisasna jémbaamba yaalan du dakwana néma dusat deku kakému kéraaké yandakwa yéwaa kwayétake Jerusalem yaasékatake Jon kure waambule yéndarén Antiokét. Jonna nak yé Mak wa.


eng: But the word of God grew and multiplied.

abt: Némaamba du dakwa ras waak Gotna kundi vékute wa Jisaské yékunmba vékulakandarén.


eng: Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he didn’t give God the glory. Then he was eaten by worms and died.

abt: Wunga waandaka Herot deku kundi vékute mawulé tawulé yandén. Yate dékét wa déku yé kavérékndén. Gotna yé yamba kavérékndékwe wa. Yandéka Néman Du Gotna kundi kure gaayakwa du dat viyaandéka kapérandi baat yandéka kaawiya déku yaalémba tindaka wa kiyaandén.

abt: Kwayéndéka du dakwa waate anga wandarén, “Wan néma duna kundi wa. Wan got nak wa kundi kwayékwa. Baka du yamba yé wa.” Naandarén.


eng: Now Herod was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon. They came with one accord to him and, having made Blastus, the king’s personal aide, their friend, they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king’s country for food.

eng: On an appointed day, Herod dressed himself in royal clothing, sat on the throne, and gave a speech to them.

abt: Herot wakandéngndén nyaa, dé déku yéku laplap saawuwe néma duna jaambémba rate du dakwat néma kundi kwayéndén.


eng: When Herod had sought for him and didn’t find him, he examined the guards, then commanded that they should be put to death. He went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed there.

abt: Wunga wandaka Herot apamama yate wandéka wa Pitaké waakndarén. Waake dé yamba véndakwe wa. Yandaka Herot kalapusmba Pitaké séngite kaavéran waariyakwa dunyansat némaanmba waatakundarén Pitaké.

eng: Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter.

eng: But he, beckoning to them with his hand to be silent, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. He said, “Tell these things to James and to the brothers.” Then he departed and went to another place.

abt: Viyaapékaténdéka yaae naapiye dat vétake vatvat naandarén. Vatvat naandaka Pita taambat yandén, kundi bulkapuk yandarénngé.

eng: But Peter continued knocking. When they had opened, they saw him and were amazed.

abt: Waréndaka Pita dé pétémba viyaapékaténdén.


eng: They said to her, “You are crazy!” But she insisted that it was so. They said, “It is his angel.”

abt: Wunga waléka anga wandarén, “Wan waangété wa yanyénéngwa.” Naandaka anga walén, “Yamba wa. Dé wa tékwa pétémba. Yi wan wanana wana.” Wunga waléka wandarén, “Wan Gotna kundi kure gaayakwa du nak Pita pulak ye wa téndékwa.” Naandarén.


eng: When she recognized Peter’s voice, she didn’t open the gate for joy, but ran in and reported that Peter was standing in front of the gate.

abt: Yaae Pitana kundi vékute anga vékuséklén. Pita wa yaan. Wunga vékusékte mawulé tawulé yate bari waambule wulaalén. Pété yamba naapilékwe wa. Waambule wulaae det anga walén, “Pita wa tékwa pétémba.” Naalén.


eng: When Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.

abt: Gorét waatakuréndaka Pita yaae kaapamba téte pétémba viyaandén. Viyaandéka jémbaa yakwa taakwa nak léku yé Roda pété naapimuké wa yaalén.


eng: Thinking about that, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was called Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.

abt: Wunga watake wani muséké vékusékte Mariana gaat yéndén. Maria wan Jonna aasa wa. Déku nak yé Mak wa. Mariana gaamba némaamba du dakwa jaawuwe Gorét waatakundarén.


eng: When Peter had come to himself, he said, “Now I truly know that the Lord has sent out his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from everything the Jewish people were expecting.”

abt: Wani du yéndéka Pita vékusékte anga wandén, “An yéngan yamba wa. Néman Du wandéka wa Gotna kundi kure gaayakwa du wunéké wa gaayandén. Gaaye wunat yékun yate wunat kalapusmba wa kure yaalandén. Bulaa Herot, wuna gaayé du waak wunat kapéremusé katik yaké daré. Wunga vékusékwutékwa. Yi wan wanana wa.” Naandén.


eng: When they were past the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened to them by itself. They went out and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.

abt: Wunga wate wa Gotna kundi kure gaayakwa duna kukmba yéndén. Bét yéte waariyakwa dunyansat ras talakatake ras waak talakatake ye kalapusna pétémba saambakmbérén.

Naapindéka gwaande yaambumba nak yémbérén. Ye Gotna kundi kure gaayakwa du Pita yaasékatake wa bari yéndén.


eng: And he went out and followed him. He didn’t know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he saw a vision.

abt: Wunga wandéka Pita déku laplap saawuwe su saawundén. Yandéka nakapuk anga wandén, “Yépmaa yandéka saape téménéngwa laplap waak saawuwe wuna kukmba ma yaa.” Wunga wandéka Pita wani gaa yaasékatake wani duna kukmba yéndén. Pita yamba vékusékndékwe wa, Gotna kundi kure gaayakwa du yan muséké. Déku mawulémba anga wandén, “Wan baka yéngan a kwaawutén.”


eng: The angel said to him, “Get dressed and put on your sandals.” He did so. He said to him, “Put on your cloak and follow me.”

abt: Vaakétndéka Gotna kundi kure gaayakwa du anga wandén, “Ména laplap saawute ména su ma saawuménu.” Naandén.


eng: And behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, “Stand up quickly!” His chains fell off his hands.

abt: Kaavéréndaka Néman Duna kundi kure gaayakwa du gaayandéka kalapus yaa vérékngwa pulak yan. Yandéka wani du Pitat kutte anga wandén, “Bari ma vélérkiyaae waarapménu.” Wunga wandéka wani sen Pitana taambamba lepékwe vaakérén.


eng: The same night when Herod was about to bring him out, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains. Guards in front of the door kept the prison.

abt: Herot anga wandén, “Séré Pita kure yaalandaru Judaséna ménimba tékandékwa, talimba wawutén pulak.” Naandén. Wunga wandéka wani gaan Pita kalapusmba yundé kwaandén. Waariyakwa du vétik sen vétik déku taambamba gitakambéréka dé nyéndémba kwaandén. De akwi yundé kwaandarén. Kwaandaka waariyakwa dunyan ras kalapusna pétémba kaavéréndarén.


eng: Peter therefore was kept in the prison, but constant prayer was made by the assembly to God for him.

abt: Pita kalapusmba kwaandéka waariyakwa du déké téte véténdarén. Yandaka Jisasna jémbaamba yaalan du dakwa apapu apapu Gorét némaanmba waatakundarén, Pitat yékun yandénngé.


eng: When he had arrested him, he put him in prison and delivered him to four squads of four soldiers each to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover.

abt: Kwaandéka Herot wandéka de waariyakwa du déké séngiye téte véténdarén, dé yaange yémuké. Ganmbamba du vétik vétik, nyaa du vétik vétik, garambu du vétik vétik, gaan du vétik vétik de wunga wa déké téte véténdarén.

eng: When he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This was during the days of unleavened bread.

abt: Viyaandaka Judasé vétake wa mawulé yandarén. Yandaka Herot wa vékusékndén. Vékusékte wandéka Pitat kulkiye kure yéndarén, kalapusét. Yis taakakapuk yandakwa bret kandakwa sapak Herot wandéka wa wunga yandarén. Pitat kulkiye kure ye taakandaka wa kalapusmba kwaandén.


eng: As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;

abt: Agabas wani muké wadéka de Jisasna du taakwa véknwute de wak, “Naané nak nak Jisasna jébaaba yaale Judiaba rakwa du taakwaké sanévéknwute naana yéwaa muniye las radu las kwayésatiké naané yo deké. Kwayésatino de nyégéle kadému kéraaké de yo.”


eng: which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

abt: Wunga watake yéwaa kéraae Sol ambét Barnabasét kwayéndarén. Kwayétake wandaka Jerusalemét ye wa kwayémbérén, Jisasna jémbaamba yaalan du dakwana maaka dusat.


abt: Naate watakne yéwaa kérae de Sol bét Banabaské kwayék. Kwayétakne wadaka bét Jerusalemét ye bét kwayék, Jisasna jébaaba yaalan duna némaan duké.


eng: One of them named Agabus stood up and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.

abt: Wani du nak déku yé Agabus wa. Gotna Yaamambi déku mawulémba wulaae apamama yandéka wa téte anga wandén, “Kaandé yakwa sapak bari a yaakandékwa.

eng: Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

abt: Wani sapak kukmba yaaké yakwa muséké kundi kwayékwa du ras Jerusalem yaasékatake Antiokét yéndarén.


eng: When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

abt: Kukba Banabas Solké sékale véké nae dé Tasasnyét yék. Ye sékale vétakne dé dérét kwole bét yék Antioknét. Kwole ye kwaaré nak Antiokba rate bét Jisasna jébaaba yaalan du taakwa wale jawe bét kudi bulék. Wupmalemu du taakwat bét kudi wakwek Jisaské. Antiokba de Jisasna du taakwaké de kéni yé taale kwayék, “Kraisna du taakwa.”


eng: For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.

abt: Barnabas wan dé yéku du wa. Gotna Yaamambi déku mawulémba wa wulaae apamama yaran. Yaréndéka Jisaské yékunmbaa-sékéyak wa vékulakandén. Wani sapak némaamba du dakwa Barnabasna kundi vékute de waak Jisaské yékunmba vékulakandarén.


eng: who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.

abt: Ye saambake véndén Got wani du dakwat yékun yandéka yékunmba yaréndaka. Véte mawulé tawulé yate det anga wandén, “Guné yéku mawulé vékute Néman Duna kundi ma yékunmba vékungunék apapu apapu. Néman Duna jémbaa yaasékaké yambak.” Naandén Barnabas.


eng: The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.

abt: Kwayéndaka Néman Du det mayé apa kwayéndéka némaamba du dakwa deku kapére mawulé yaasékatake Néman Duké yékunmba vékulakandarén.


eng: But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.

abt: Saiprus ailan dunyan Sairini dunyan waak Jisaské yékunmba vékulakate Antiokét ye Juda du dakwat, nak gaayé du dakwat waak, wa Néman Du Jisaské kundi kwayéndarén.


eng: They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.

abt: Talimba Stivenét wa viyaandarén matut. Viyaandaka kiyaandéka Jisaské yékunmba vékulakakwa du dakwat yaavan kurké yandaka genge gaayét yaangéte yéndarén.

Nak gaayé du dakwat déké yamba kundi kwayéndakwe wa.


eng: When they heard these things, they held their peace and glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life!”

abt: Pita wunga wandéka Juda dunyansé nakapuk dat yamba waarundakwe wa. Yate Gotna yé kavérékte anga wandarén, “Got wan yékun wa. Dé nak gaayé du dakwaké waak wa wandén. De deku kapére mawulé yaasékatake kulémawulé kéraae yékunmba yarépékakandakwa apapu apapu.” Naandarén.


eng: I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.’

abt: Gotna Yaamambi deku mawulémba wulaae randéka Néman Duna kundiké wa vékulakawutén. Talimba Néman Du anga wandén, ‘Baptais kwayékwa du Jon Gotna yémba det baptais kwayéndén. Got déku Yaamambi kwayékandékwa gunat. Kwayéndu Gotna Yaamambi guna mawulémba wulaae rakandékwa.’ Naandén Néman Du Jisas.


eng: As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.

abt: “Kornilius wani muséké saapéndéka wuné det kundi kwayéwutéka Gotna Yaamambi deku mawulémba wa wulaae randékwa, nana mawulémba talimba wulaae randékwa pulak.


eng: He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa and get Simon, who is called Peter,

abt: Wulaanaka dé naanat wakwek, Gotna kudi kure giyaakwa dut nak védénké. Wani du Koniliasna gaba téte dé dérét wak, ‘Méné waménu de ména du las yéké de yo Jopat. Ye de duké nak sékalké de yo. Déku yé Saimon. Déku nak yé Pita.

eng: The Spirit told me to go with them without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house.

abt: Saambakndaka Gotna Yaamambi wunat wandén, wup yakapuk yate bari dele yéwuténngé. Ani du taambak kaayék nakurak (6) Jisaské yékunmba vékulakate wunale wa yéndarén Sisariat. Ye nané akwi Korniliusna gaamba wulaananén.


eng: Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.

abt: “Kure waaréndaka bari de Sisariamba yaan du kupuk deku néma duna kundi vékutake yaae yaréwutén gaamba saambakndarén.


eng: This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.

abt: Apu kupuk wani musé véte wa wani kundi vékuwutén. Yawutéka wani musé Gotna gaayét waambule kure waaréndarén.


eng: But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, don’t you call unclean.’

abt: Wunga wawutéka Got nakapuk anga wandén, ‘Wan yéku kwaami wa. Wunga wa wawutén. Wani kwaamiké katik waké méné, “Wan kapéremusé wa.” ’ Naandén Got.


eng: But I said, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’

abt: Wani kundi vékutake anga wawutén, ‘Néman Du, yamba yé wa. Wani kwaami raské anga wandakwa, “Wan kapére kwaami wa.” Wandaka wani kapére kwaami yaakétndarén kwaami talimba yamba kawutékwe wa. Bulaa katik kaké wuté.’


eng: I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’

abt: Vétake vékuwutén kundi nak anga wandéka, ‘Méno Pita, ma waarape méné wani yéku kwaami viyaae ka.’


eng: When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky.

abt: Téndéka kurkale véséke wa véwutén késpulak nakpulak kwaami, kaambe, api wamba téndaka.


eng: “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.

abt: Wadaka dé Pita Konilias wale rate yadan akwi muké dé derét kéga wakwek: “Wuné Jopaba rate Got wale kudi bulte wuné yégan pulak yak. Yate wuné vék apakélé baapmu wut pulak mu Gotna gayéba giyaadéka. Giyaadéka de waabu baapmu wutba kutte kusagiyadaka dé rawurénba ték.

Wani duna sépé kaapuk sékudan. Wani du naané Judana jébaaba kaapuk yaaladan. Méné de wale rate kadému katakne méné sépélak méné yak.” Naate de wak.


eng: Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

abt: Jisasna kundi kure yékwa dunyan, Jisaské yékunmba vékulakakwa du dakwale Judia distrikmba yatéte wa vékundarén nak gaayé du dakwa Gotna kundi yékunmba vékundaka.


eng: He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.

abt: Wunga watake Pita wandéka de dale yaan du Jisas Kraisna yémba wate det baptais kwayéndarén. Kwayéndaka Pitat wandarén, dé dele nyaa vétik kupuk yaréndénngé.


eng: “Can anyone forbid these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.”

abt: Wunga wandaka Pita anga wandén, “Gotna Yaamambi wani du dakwana mawulémba wa wulaae randékwa, nana mawulémba talimba wulaae randékwa pulak. Kandé nanat watépéké ya, Jisasna yémba det baptais kwayémuké? Wan yamba yé wa. Nané Jisasna yémba det baptais kwayékanangwa.” Naandén.


eng: For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,

abt: Wulaae randéka Jisaské yékunmba vékulakakwa Juda du Pitale Jopamba yaae vékundarén wani du dakwa vékukapuk yandakwa kundimba wate Gotna yé kavérékndaka. Vékute vatvat naate anga wandarén, “Yéki. Got déku Yaamambi wa kwayéndén, nak gaayé du dakwat waak.”


eng: While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell on all those who heard the word.

abt: Pita det wayéka watépékandéka Gotna Yaamambi Pitana kundi vékukwa du dakwana mawulémba wulaandén.


eng: All the prophets testify about him, that through his name everyone who believes in him will receive remission of sins.”

abt: Talimba Gotna yémba kundi kwayétan du akwi Jisaské wa kundi kwayéndarén. Kwayéte anga wandarén, ‘Du dakwa déké yékunmba vékulakandaru, wa dé mayé apa yandu Got deku kapére mawulé yasnyéputi-kandékwa.’ Wunga wa wandarén.” Naandén Pita.


eng: He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that this is he who is appointed by God as the Judge of the living and the dead.

abt: Jisas nanat anga wandén, ‘Du dakwat kundi ma kwayéngunu wunéké. Got wunat wandéka a jémbaa yawutékwa. Kukmba wuné kot vékukwa néma du rate kiyaan du dakwana kundi, kulé tékwa du dakwana kundi waak, vékukawutékwa. Vékute deku kapére mawulé deku yéku mawuléké waak det wakawutékwa. Wani jémbaaké waak ma wangunék.’ Naandén Jisas nanat.


eng: not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen before by God, to us, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.

abt: Talimba Got wandéka wa kukmba wani musé vénanén. Nané nana kapmang wa vénanén Jisas taamale waarape téndéka. Akwi du dakwa dé yamba véndakwe wa. Got wandéka taamale waarape yaréndéka wa nané dale kakému kulak kananén.

abt: Kiyaandéka nyaa vétik yéndéka nyaa kupukmba Got wandéka wa nakapuk taamale waarapndén. Taamale waarapndéka kukmba du ras dé véndarén.


eng: We are witnesses of everything he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also killed, hanging him on a tree.

abt: Jerusalemmba vénanén, nana taalémba waak vénanén, Jisas déku jémbaa yandéka. Kukmba wa dé takwemimba viyaae baangtakandaka wa kiyaandén.


eng: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

abt: “Nasaret du Jisaské wa vékusékngunéngwa. Got dat mayé apa kwayéndéka déku Yaamambi Jisasna mawulémba wulaae randén. Randéka Jisas akwi gaayémba yéte du dakwat yékun yandén. Kutakwana néma du Satan yaavan kurén du dakwat wandéka wa yékun yandarén. Got dale téndéka wa Jisas wunga yandén.

eng: Peter opened his mouth and said, “Truly I perceive that God doesn’t show favoritism;

abt: Pita anga wandén, “Got nakurak kundi wa wandékwa, akwi du dakwat. Nak kundi nak gaayé du dakwat wate, nakpulak kundi nak gaayé du dakwat yamba wandékwe wa. Yi wan wanana wa.


eng: Therefore I sent to you at once, and it was good of you to come. Now therefore we are all here present in the sight of God to hear all things that have been commanded you by God.”

abt: Wunga wandéka bari wawutéka wuna du wa yéndarén, ménéké waakmuké. Ye méné vétake wandaka yékunmba wa yaaménén. Wan yékun wa. Bulaa nané akwi Gotna ménimba a amba ranangwa.

eng: Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is also called Peter. He is staying in the house of a tanner named Simon, by the seaside. When he comes, he will speak to you.’

abt: Méné ma waménu de ména du ras yéndaru Jopat. Ye du nakngé waakndaru. Déku yé Saimon. Déku nak yé Pita wa. Dé bulmakau sépé kururékwa du Saimonale wa yaréndékwa, solwara aarkémba.’ Naandén.


eng: and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer is heard, and your gifts to the needy are remembered in the sight of God.

abt: Téte anga wandén, ‘Méno, Kornilius. Méné Gorét waatakuménénga ména kundi wa vékundén. Méné musékapuk yan du dakwat yéwaa baka kwayéménénga Got wa véndén. Véte ménéké wa vékulakandékwa.


eng: He said to them, “You yourselves know how it is an unlawful thing for a man who is a Jew to join himself or come to one of another nation, but God has shown me that I shouldn’t call any man unholy or unclean.

abt: Vétake det anga wandén, “Nana apakundimba anga wandakwa, ‘Juda dunyan nak gaayé duna gaat katik wulaaké daré. Juda dunyan nak gaayé duwale katik yeyé yaayatéké daré.

abt: Yandéka Pita kalik yate anga wandén, “Ma waarape té. Wuné waak baka du a. Wuné néma du yamba wa. Wunéké kwaati séké yambak.” Naandén.


eng: So he called them in and provided a place to stay. On the next day Peter arose and went out with them, and some of the brothers from Joppa accompanied him.

abt: Wunga wandaka Pita wa wan, “Ma yaale amba kwaangunu.” Naandéka wulaae wamba kwaandarén. Kwaae ganmbamba Pita dele sékét yéndén. Jopamba tékwa Jisaské yékunmba vékulakakwa du ras de waak Pitale wa yéndarén sékét.


eng: They said, “Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous man and one who fears God, and well spoken of by all the nation of the Jews, was directed by a holy angel to invite you to his house, and to listen to what you say.”

abt: Wunga wandéka anga wandarén, “Waariyakwa duna néma du Kornilius wandéka wa yaananén. Wan dé yéku du wa. Gorét waatakukwa du wa.

abt: Wunga wandéka Pita daawuliye det anga wandén, “Waakngunéngwa du wuné anana. Kamu yaké guné yaak?”


eng: But arise, get down, and go with them, doubting nothing; for I have sent them.”
