¹Now the apostles and the brothers The word for “brothers” here and where context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

¹ A go mo, diyey da nya-izey kaŋ yaŋ go Yahudiya ra maa baaro kaŋ dumi cindey mo na Irikoy sanno ta.

²When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,

² Waato kaŋ Bitros kaa Urusalima, borey kaŋ yaŋ ga ti dambanguyaŋ do haray waney kakaw da Bitros

³saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them!”

³ ka ne: «Ni furo borey kaŋ yaŋ si dambangu do ka ŋwa i banda.»

⁴But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,

⁴ Amma Bitros sintin ka sanno feeri i se za boŋo kal a me ka ne:

⁵“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.

⁵ «Ay go Yaffa kwaara ra ka te adduwa. Jirbi ra mo Irikoy n'ay laakal sambu hal ay di bangayyaŋ. Hay fo sanda zaara bambata cine go ga zumbu kaŋ i go g'a deene taaca gaay. A go ga kaa ka fun beene ka kaa kal ay do.

⁶When 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.

⁶ A binde, waato kaŋ ay guna a ra, ay goono ga laakal daŋ mo, kal ay di ndunnya alman ce-taaci-koyyaŋ, da ganji hamyaŋ, da ganda fanakayaŋ, da beene curoyaŋ.

⁷I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’

⁷ Ay maa jinde fo mo kaŋ ne ay se: ‹Bitros, tun ka wi ka ŋwa.›

⁸But I said, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’

⁸ Amma ay ne: ‹Manti yaadin no, ya Rabbi, zama haŋ kaŋ ga harram wala ziibikoy mana furo ay me ra baa ce fo.›

⁹But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, don’t you call unclean.’

⁹ Amma jinda ye ka fun beene ka tu ay se sorro hinkanta ka ne: ‹Haŋ kaŋ Irikoy hanandi, ni ma s'a harramandi.›

¹⁰This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.

¹⁰ Woodin te hala sorro hinza, gaa no i n'a kulu candi ka ye d'a beene koyne.

¹¹Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.

¹¹ Kala mo sahãadin, boro hinza kaŋ yaŋ i donton, kaŋ fun Kaysariya, go ga kay windo me gaa, nango kaŋ iri go.

¹²The Spirit told me to go with them, without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house.

¹² Biya _Hanno|_ mo ci ay se ka ne ay ma koy i banda, ya si sikka mo. Nya-ize iddo wo mo koy ay banda. Iri furo mo bora fuwo ra.

¹³He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa, and get Simon, whose surname is Peter,

¹³ A dede iri se mo mate kaŋ cine nga di malayka kaŋ go ga kay nga fuwo ra ka ne: ‹Ma donton Yaffa kwaara ka Siman kaŋ se i ga ne Bitros ce.

¹⁴who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’

¹⁴ Nga no ga ci ni se sanney kaŋ do ni ga du faaba, nin da ni almayaaley kulu.›

¹⁵As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.

¹⁵ Waato kaŋ ay sintin ka salaŋ i se mo, Biya Hanna zumbu i boŋ, sanda mate kaŋ cine a zumbu iri boŋ za sintina gaa.

¹⁶I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.’

¹⁶ Ay mo fongu nda Rabbi sanno, mate kaŋ a ne: ‹Haciika Yohanna na baptisma te da hari, amma araŋ ga du Biya Hanna baptisma.›

¹⁷If then God gave to them the same gift as us, when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?”

¹⁷ Za kaŋ Irikoy n'i no nooyaŋ kaŋ ga saba nda iri wano kaŋ a n'iri no cine, waato kaŋ iri na Yesu Almasihu cimandi, may ci ay hal ay ma gaaba nda Irikoy?»

¹⁸When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life!”

¹⁸ Waato kaŋ i maa woodin, jama dangay ka Irikoy beerandi. I ne: «Yaadin gaa, dumi cindey mo se Irikoy na tuubiyaŋ no zama i ma du fundi.»

¹⁹They 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.

¹⁹ Borey kaŋ yaŋ say-say gurzuga sabbay se kaŋ tun Istifanos sabbay se din koy hala Finiciya, da Kubrus da Antiyos. I siino ga Sanno ci boro kulu se kala Yahudancey hinne se.

²⁰But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, A Hellenist is someone who keeps Greek customs and culture. preaching the Lord Jesus.

²⁰ Amma i ra boro fooyaŋ, Kubrus da Kayrawa boroyaŋ no, waato kaŋ i to Antiyos, i sintin ka salaŋ Gareku borey se mo ka Rabbi Yesu baaro waazu i se.

²¹The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.

²¹ Rabbi kamba mo go i banda. Borey marga bambata no cimandi ka bare Rabbi do.

²²The report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem. They sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch,

²² I baaro koy ka kaŋ Almasihu marga borey hangey ra kaŋ go Urusalima. Ngey mo na Barnaba donton a ma koy kala Antiyos.

²³who, 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.

²³ Nga mo, waato kaŋ a kaa noodin, a di Irikoy gomno mo, kal a farhã. A n'i kulu yaamar ka ne i ma lamba Rabbi gaa da anniya.

²⁴For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.

²⁴ Zama Barnaba wo boro hanno no, a to da Biya Hanno da cimbeeri*. Jama boobo mo tonton Rabbi gaa.

²⁵Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.

²⁵ A fun noodin ka koy Tarsus kwaara ka Sawulu ceeci.

²⁶When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. It happened, that for a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

²⁶ Waato kaŋ Barnaba di a, a kand'a Antiyos. I go no care banda Almasihu marga ra kala jiiri fo ka boro boobo dondonandi. Antiyos ra no i sintin ka ne talibey se «Almasihuyaŋ».

²⁷Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

²⁷ Jirbey din ra mo annabi fooyaŋ fun Urusalima ka zulli ka koy Antiyos.

²⁸One 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.

²⁸ I ra boro fo kaŋ se i ga ne Agabos tun ka kay ka cabe Biya _Hanno|_ do kaŋ haray bambata ga ba ka te laabey kulu ra. Woodin binde mana te kala Kuludiyos zamana ra.

²⁹As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;

²⁹ Talibey mo, boro kulu nga hino boŋ, na sarti sambu ka ne ngey ga gaakasinay samba nya-izey se kaŋ yaŋ goono ga goro Yahudiya.

³⁰which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.

³⁰ I n'a te mo. I na gaakasina samba arkusey do Sawulu nda Barnaba kambe ra.
