¹Now 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.

¹ Annabiyaŋ da dondonandikoyaŋ go Antiyos Almasihu marga ra. Ngey ga ti: Barnaba, da Simeyon kaŋ se i ga ne Arbi, da Lusiyas Kayrawa kwaara bora, da Manayin kaŋ nga da laabukoyo Hirodus tun care banda, da Sawulu.

²As 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.”

² I goono ga goy Rabbi se ka mehaw*, kala Biya Hanna ne: «Araŋ ma Barnaba da Sawulu kaa ay se waani, goyo kaŋ se ay n'i ce din.»

²And as they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

³Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

³ Waato kaŋ i na ngey mehawo te ka adduwa, i na ngey kambey dake i boŋ. Gaa no i n'i sallama.

³Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

⁴So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.

⁴ Ngey mo, kaŋ go Biya Hanno dontonkoyaŋ, zulli ka koy Selusiya kwaara. I furo hi ra noodin ka koy Kubrus gungo do.

⁴So they, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.

⁵When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. They had also John as their attendant.

⁷who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. The same called unto him Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.

⁸But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the faith.

⁸ Amma Alima, kaŋ ga moodabal te (woodin no ga ti a maa feerijo), goono ga gaaba nd'ey. A ceeci nga ma maykwa bare k'a kaa cimi fonda gaa.

⁸But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the faith.

¹⁰and said, O full of all guile and all villany, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

¹¹Now, 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.

¹¹ Sohõ binde, Rabbi kamba go ni boŋ. Ni ga dana, ni si di wayna hal alwaati fo.» Sahãadin-sahãadin mo, buuda da kubay kaa a gaa. A goono ga dadabe ka ceeci boro kaŋ ga nga candi.

¹¹And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.

¹²Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

¹² Gaa no maykwa, waato kaŋ a di haŋ kaŋ te, cimandi. A goono ga takooko nda Rabbi dondonandiyaŋo.

¹⁴But they, passing through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia; and they went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.

¹⁵After 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.”

¹⁵ Tawretu* nda Annabey* Tirey cawyaŋ banda, Yahudance diina marga fuwo jine borey donton i gaa ka ne: «Nya-izey, d'araŋ gonda yaamaryaŋ sanni fo jama se, kal araŋ ma ci.»

¹⁶ Bulos binde tun ka kay ka nga kamba sambu ka ne: «Israyla borey d'araŋ _dumi cindey|_ kaŋ yaŋ ga humburu Irikoy, wa maa:

¹⁶And Paul stood up, and beckoning with the hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, hearken:

¹⁷The God of this people TR, NU add “Israel” 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.

¹⁷ Israyla jama wo Irikoyo n'iri kaayey suuban ka jama beerandi waato kaŋ i koy yawtaray ka goro Misira laabo ra. Kambe gaabikooni no a n'i kaa d'a laabo din ra.

¹⁷The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they sojourned in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm led he them forth out of it.

¹⁸For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.

¹⁸ A te i se danga baaba cine, jiiri waytaaci cine no a go ga suuru nd'ey ganjo ra.

¹⁸And for about the time of forty years as a nursing-father bare he them in the wilderness.

¹⁹When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land for an inheritance, for about four hundred fifty years.

¹⁹ Waato kaŋ a na dumi iyya halaci Kanaana laabo ra, Irikoy n'i laabo no nga waney se, i m'a tubu.

¹⁹And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave [them] their land for an inheritance, for about four hundred and fifty years:

²⁰After these things he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.

²⁰ Woodin mana te kala jiiri zangu taaci nda waygu cine. Hayey din banda no Irikoy n'i no jine boroyaŋ hala ka kaa annabi Samuwila zamana gaa.

²⁰and after these things he gave [them] judges until Samuel the prophet.

²¹Afterward 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.

²¹ Woodin banda no i hã ngey ma du bonkooni. Irikoy mo na Sawulu, Cis izo, no i se, Benyamin kunda no, _kaŋ na koytaray ŋwa|_ jiiri waytaaci.

²¹And afterward they asked for a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for the space of forty years.

²²When 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.’

²² Waato kaŋ Irikoy n'a kaa, a na Dawda tunandi a ma ciya i se bonkooni. Dawda boŋ no Irikoy seeda ka ne: ‹Ay di Dawda, Yasse izo, boro no kaŋ ga saba nd'ay bina, kaŋ g'ay miila kulu te.›

²²And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; to whom also he bare witness and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My heart, who shall do all My will.

²³From this man’s seed, God has brought salvation TR, NU read “a Savior, Jesus” instead of “salvation” to Israel according to his promise,

²³ To, bora din haamey ra no, alkawlo boŋ, Irikoy kande Israyla se Faabako, kaŋ ga ti Yesu.

²³Of this man's seed hath God according to promise brought unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus;

²⁴before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to Israel. TR, NU read “to all the people of Israel” instead of “to Israel”

²⁴ Za Yesu mana kaa, Yohanna jin ka tuubi baptisma waazu Israyla jama kulu se.

²⁴when John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

²⁵As 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.’

²⁵ Waato kaŋ Yohanna ga ba ka nga bata toonandi, a ne: ‹Ay wo manti bora kaŋ araŋ go ga miila. Amma guna, ay banda boro fo goono ga kaa kaŋ ay mana to naŋ kaŋ ay ma ce daŋ a ce ra.›

²⁶Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to you.

²⁶Brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you that fear God, to us is the word of this salvation sent forth.

²⁷For 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.

²⁷ Zama Urusalima gorokoy d'i jine borey, kaŋ i mana Yesu bay, i mana annabey sanney mo bay kaŋ yaŋ i goono ga caw asibti kulu, i n'i toonandi waato kaŋ i na Yesu ciiti ka zeeri.

²⁷For they that dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled [them] by condemning [him].

²⁸Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.

²⁸ Baa day kaŋ i mana du wiyaŋ fondo kulu Yesu gaa, i na Bilatos ŋwaaray ka ne a m'a wi.

²⁸And though they found no cause of death [in him], yet asked they of Pilate that he should be slain.

²⁹When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb.

²⁹ Waato kaŋ i na hay kulu toonandi kaŋ go hantumante Yesu boŋ, i n'a zumandi k'a kaa kanjiyaŋ bundo gaa, k'a daŋ saaray fo ra.

²⁹And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb.

³⁰But God raised him from the dead,

³⁰ Amma Irikoy n'a tunandi ka kaa buukoy game ra.

³⁰But God raised him from the dead:

³¹and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.

³¹ Jirbi boobo mo no a go ga bangay borey se kaŋ yaŋ n'a gana ka fun Galili ka kaa Urusalima. Sohõ borey din ga ti a seedey jama se.

³¹and he was seen for many days of them that came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses unto the people.

³²We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,

³² Iri mo goono ga waazu araŋ se Baaru Hanna wo: alkawlo kaŋ Irikoy sambu iri kaayey se,

³²And we bring you good tidings of the promise made unto the fathers,

³³that God has fulfilled the same 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.’ Psalm 2:7

³³ a n'a toonandi iri, kaŋ ga ti i izey se, za kaŋ a na Yesu tunandi, mate kaŋ i hantum Zabura hinkanta ra ka ne: ‹Ni ya ay izo no. Hunkuna no ay na ni hay.›

³³that God hath fulfilled the same unto our children, in that he raised up Jesus; as also it is written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

³⁴“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.’ Isaiah 55:3

³⁴ Kaŋ Irikoy na Yesu tunandi ka kaa buukoy game ra ciine din, a si fumbu mo, yaadin no Irikoy salaŋ ka ne: ‹Ay g'araŋ no Dawda albarka hanantey da tabbatantey.›

³⁴And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he hath spoken on this wise, I will give you the holy and sure [blessings] of David.

³⁵Therefore he says also in another psalm, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’ Psalm 16:10

³⁵ A sabbay se a ne Zabura fo ra koyne: ‹Ni si naŋ ni wane Hanna ma fumbu.›

³⁵Because he saith also in another [psalm], Thou wilt not give Thy Holy One to see corruption.

³⁶For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was laid with his fathers, and saw decay.

³⁶ Zama waato kaŋ Dawda na goyo te nga zamana ra kaŋ Irikoy waadu a se, a kani. I n'a fiji a kaayey do, hal a fumbu mo.

³⁶For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:

³⁷But he whom God raised up saw no decay.

³⁷ Amma Yesu kaŋ Irikoy tunandi mana fumbu.

³⁷but he whom God raised up saw no corruption.

³⁸Be it known to you therefore, brothers The word for “brothers” here and where the context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” , that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins,

³⁸ Araŋ ma bay mo, ay nya-izey, bora din do no i goono ga zunubi yaafayaŋ waazu araŋ se.

³⁸Be it known unto you therefore, brethren, that through this man is proclaimed unto you remission of sins:

³⁹and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

³⁹ A do mo no boro kulu kaŋ ga cimandi, Irikoy n'a koy adilandi* hay kulu gaa kaŋ yaŋ araŋ si hin ka ciya adilante* Musa Tawreto ganayaŋ ra.

³⁹and by him every one that believeth is justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

⁴⁰Beware therefore, lest that come on you which is spoken in the prophets:

⁴⁰ A binde, araŋ ma te laakal, hayey din kaŋ i ci Annabey Tirey ra ma si kaŋ araŋ boŋ

⁴⁰Beware therefore, lest that come upon [you] which is spoken in the prophets:

⁴¹‘Behold, you scoffers, and 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.’” Habakkuk 1:5

⁴¹ kaŋ ne: ‹Ya dondakoy, wa guna. Wa dambara ka halaci. Zama ay ga goy fo te araŋ jirbey ra, goy kaŋ araŋ s'a cimandi abada, baa day boro fo n'a ci araŋ se.› »

⁴¹Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish; For I work a work in your days, A work which ye shall in no wise believe, if one declare it unto you.

⁴²So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.

⁴² Waato kaŋ i goono ga fatta _Yahudance diina marga fuwo ra|_, jama n'i ŋwaaray ka ne i ma ye ka sanno din ci ngey se koyne hino asibto kaŋ ga kaa.

⁴²And as they went out, they besought that these words might be spoken to them the next sabbath.

⁴³Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.

⁴³ A go mo, waato kaŋ jama kar ka say, i ra boro boobo, Yahudance da borey kaŋ yaŋ furo Yahudance diina ra ganako hanney, na Bulos da Barnaba gana. Ngey mo salaŋ boro woodin yaŋ se ka ne i ma soobay ka mo ye Irikoy gomno gaa.

⁴³Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.

⁴⁴The next Sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.

⁴⁴ Waato kaŋ asibto din kaa ka to binde, a cindi kayna boro ma ne hala kwaara kulu no ka margu noodin zama ngey ma maa Irikoy sanno.

⁴⁴And the next sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.

⁴⁵But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.

⁴⁵ Amma waato kaŋ Yahudancey di jama boobo, i to da canse. I na sanney kaŋ Bulos ci din kakaw, ka alaasiray sanniyaŋ ci.

⁴⁵But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.

⁴⁶Paul 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 you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.

⁴⁶ Amma Bulos da Barnaba salaŋ da bine-gaabi ka ne: «A ga tilas i ma Irikoy sanno ci araŋ se jina. A binde, kaŋ araŋ n'a ganandi araŋ gaa, k'araŋ boŋ ye sanda araŋ mana to fundi hal abada gaa, guna, iri goono ga bare ka ye dumi cindey do.

⁴⁶And Paul and Barnabas spake out boldly, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you. Seeing ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.

⁴⁷For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, ‘I have set you as a light for the Gentiles, that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.’” Isaiah 49:6

⁴⁷ Zama yaadin no Rabbi n'iri lordi nd'a ka ne: ‹Ay na ni daŋ ni ma ciya annura dumi cindey se, zama ni ma konda faaba hala ndunnya kulu me.› »

⁴⁷For so hath the Lord commanded us, [saying], I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles, That thou shouldest be for salvation unto the uttermost part of the earth.

⁴⁸As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God. As many as were appointed to eternal life believed.

⁴⁸ Waato kaŋ dumi cindey maa woodin, i goono ga farhã ka Rabbi sanno beerandi. I boro kulu mo kaŋ yaŋ i n'i waadu fundi hal abada duura gaa cimandi.

⁴⁸And as the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

⁴⁹The Lord’s word was spread abroad throughout all the region.

⁴⁹ Rabbi sanno mo goono ga say-say laabo din kulu ra.

⁴⁹And the word of the Lord was spread abroad throughout all the region.

⁵⁰But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders.

⁵⁰ Amma Yahudancey na kwaara ra boro beeri fooyaŋ, kaŋ yaŋ ga ti wayborey kaŋ yaŋ furo Yahudance diina ra, da mo kwaara jine borey, zukku ka gurzugay tunandi Bulos da Barnaba boŋ. I n'i gaaray ka kaa ngey laabo ra.

⁵⁰But the Jews urged on the devout women of honorable estate, and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their borders.

⁵¹But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.

⁵¹ Amma Bulos da Barnaba na ngey ce taamey kusa kokobe _ka seeda|_ i gaa ka dira ka kaa Ikoniya.

⁵¹But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.

⁵²The disciples were filled with joy with the Holy Spirit.

⁵²And the disciples were filled with joy with the Holy Spirit.
