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.

⁵I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even unto me:

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.

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

⁷And I heard also a voice saying unto me, Rise, Peter; kill and eat.

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.›

⁸But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath ever entered into my mouth.

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.›

⁹But a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God hath cleansed, make not thou common.

¹¹And behold, forthwith three men stood before the house in which we were, having been sent from Caesarea unto me.

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

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

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.›

¹⁴who shall speak unto thee words, whereby thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.

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.

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

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.›

¹⁶And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit.

¹⁷If then God gave unto them the like gift as [he did] also unto us, when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?

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.»

¹⁸And when they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then to the Gentiles also hath God granted repentance unto life.
