Acts (The Things the Apostle Dem Do)
11 So the apostles and the brother dem who wor in Ju·deʹa hear da people from other nations also accept God Word. 2 So when Peter came to Jerusalem, the people who wanted people from other nations to get circumcise started arguing with him. 3 They say: “You went to the house of people who not circumcise and you eat with them.” 4 When Peter hear this one, he explain everything to them about what happen.
5 “I wor in the city they call Jopʹpa praying, and I saw one vision. In the vision, something wor coming down like one big cloth and it wor coming down from heaven just like somebody wor holding it from the four corners, and it came straight to me. 6 When I look inside good-good, I saw animal dem with four foot from the earth, bush animal dem, snakes, lizards* and the bird dem da can fly in the sky. 7 I also hear one voice da say: ‘Peter, get up, kill it and eat it!’ 8 But I say: ‘Lord I can’t do it because something da not holy or clean never enter my mouth before.’ 9 The second time, I hear the voice from heaven and it say: ‘Peter, stop calling the thing dem God na clean, dirty.’ 10 It happen for the third time, and everything went back to heaven. 11 Also at da time, three men dem who they send from Caes·a·reʹa came to the house where we wor staying. 12 Then the spirit tell me to follow them, and believe all the thing dem they tell me. And this six brother dem also follow me, and we enter in Cornelius house.
13 “He tell us how he saw the angel in his house. And the angel tell him say: ‘Send some men dem to Jopʹpa and call Simon who they can call Peter. 14 And he will tell you thing dem da will save you and all the people dem da in your house.’ 15 But when I started talking, the holy spirit came on them the same way it came on us in the beginning. 16 When I saw this one I remember what the Lord use to say. He say: ‘John baptize people with water, but God will baptize yor with holy spirit.’ 17 So if God give the same free gift to them da he give to us who believe the Lord Jesus Christ, then I who to stop God?”
18 When the brother dem hear this thing dem, they stop arguing* with Peter and they praise God and say: “God na also give people from other nations the chance to repent and get life.”
19 After Stephen die, the disciple dem da scatter because people wor suffering them, went all the way to Phoe·niʹcia, Cyʹprus, and Antioch, but they wor only preaching to Jews. 20 But some of the men who wor among them from Cyʹprus and Cy·reʹne came to Antioch and they started talking with the people who can speak Greek, and they wor preaching the good news about the Lord Jesus. 21 Also, Jehovah* wor with them, and plenty people believe the good news and start following the Lord.
22 The news about them reach to the congregation in Jerusalem, and they send Barʹna·bas all the way to Antioch. 23 When he reach there he saw how God special kindness wor on them. He wor really happy and started to encourage all of them to continue to follow the Lord with their whole heart. 24 Barʹna·bas da wor good man and he wor having strong faith and holy spirit wor on him. Because of da plenty people believe in the Lord. 25 So he went to Tarsus and look for Saul all over. 26 When he find him, he bring him to Antioch. So for one whole year they use to join the congregation and teach plenty people. The first time God give the direction for them to call the disciple dem Christians wor in Antioch.
27 During da time some prophet dem came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28 One of them who name wor Agʹa·bus stand up and the holy spirit made him to say da time will come food business will be hard all over the earth. And it happen the time Claudius wor ruling. 29 So the disciple dem decide to send some thing dem to the brothers in Ju·deʹa. They made the decision depending on what each of them wor having. 30 And they do this one by sending it through Barʹna·bas and Saul.
