Ndu Manzaniba 1
1 Ikpi biwa mina hla niwu'a, Theophilus, a ne nitu ndu u tsro wa Yesu a ti rhi ni mumla.
The first account I wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
2 Ahe ni iri wa ba bariu hi ni shu, nikima wa a 'mmha manzani wa ana chuba'a ni ruhu tsatsra, a.
until the day in which he was received up, after he had given commandment through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen.
3 Niwa baya wa ba tiu ya a stro tuma ni sisren ni bawu ni nkon kankan ni du ba na kpatron ni lunde ni be mana A tsro tuma nibawu wu vi tsotra don za nda tre ni ba nitu koson (shulu) Irjhi.
To these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days, and speaking about God's Kingdom.
4 Niwa a kri ni shubimba ni wu, a'mmha ba du bana don Urishilima na, du ba gben shirjhi wu tima, wa a lha ndi, “Bi wo ni nyumu.
Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, "Do not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which you heard from me.
5 Ndi a hi janji, Yohanna a ti batisma ni yiwu ni ma, ama ni vi yi, bi kpa batisma wu Ruhu Tsatsra.”
For John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
6 Niwa ba shu ki, ba miye ndi baci, “zizanyi ahi ton yiyi u kma tuchu gbungblua ye ni Israila?
Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?"
7 A lha bawu ndi “Ana wumbi du yi to nton ko vi waa timu a yo ni gbengble ma na.”
He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority.
8 Ama bi kpa gbengble wa Ruhu Tsatsra ni ku yiwu, niki bi bla ni tumu, rhi ni Urishilima baba Judiya wawu mba Samaria, ni ka ri ni klekle gbungblu meme.
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest part of the earth."
9 A kle tre kpi bi yi nu, niwa ba ki si ya shulu, ba ban'u lu hon, e clalu a kawu u shishi mba ka la tou na.
When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.
10 Niwa ba rhisi yo shishi ni ya hon ma hi shulu'a, ndhi ha ni nkon kinkla ba krirhu kri ni mimba.
While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, look, two men stood by them in white clothing,
11 Ba tre ndi, “Biyi ndhi bi Galilee, “bi ki ya gye ni shulu? Yesu yi, wa ba banwu hi ni shulu, ni kima ye bibi wa bito ba ban u hi ni shulu'a”
who also said, "You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky."
12 Mle ba k'ma grhi rhi ni ngblu wa ba yo ndi Olivet, wandi a wiewiera ni Urishilima, hi ni mi gbu Urishislima, ezren vi chanchu sati.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
13 Niwa ba ye ri, ba tsi hunhi tra u koshu, wa bah kini mia. Bana ba Yohana, yakubu, andarawus, Filibus, Toma, barthelomen, Matiu, Yakubu Ivren Alphanso Siman wa ini wu ngyegere me, Mba Juda Ivren Yakubu.
When they had come in, they went up into the upper room, where they were staying; that is Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
14 Wawu mba ba zontu ki ni bubu riri nda sia bre Rji, baba Mba ba, ni Maryamu ehi Yesu, baba mri vayi ma.
All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
15 Niri baki, Bitrus a lu kri ni mi mri vayiba, bana tsra ndhi 120, nda tre ndi.
In these days, Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
16 “Mri vayi, a he nitu du tre wu vunvu tre baci du rhu tsra, nawa Ruhu Tsatsra ana lha ni nyu Dawuda ni tu Juda, wa a tsro biwa baye vu Yesu nkon.
"Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.
17 Ana irimbu wa a kpa ndu wandi anuta ngame.”
For he was numbered with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
18 (Zizan ndhi yi a ka le irhu ni nkle wu meme dri wandi a kpa'a, nda ka rhoku nitu u Kpama ka yrahle, ni irhenma ba ka vrale ni meme.
Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness, and falling headfirst his body burst open, and all his intestines gushed out.
19 Wawu ndhi bi ki ni gbu Urishilima ba wo kpe wa a zren kima ba yonde irhu kima ni lan gbu mba ndi. “Akeldama”, wandi a tsra ni nde “Irhu u yi.”)
It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called 'Hakel-Dema,' that is, 'The field of blood.'
20 Ba tre ni tuma ni vunvu tre zabura, ndi, “Du ba du irhukima du kri ton kpo, e du ko ndior na kruko ni kimana
For it is written in the scroll of Psalms, 'Let his habitation be made desolate, and let no one dwell in it;' and, 'Let another take his office.'
21 Ani bi du lilon ri wa azi wuta rhini nton wa baci Yesu a zren ri nda rhu ni mi mbu,
"Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 Rjhini baptisma wu Yohana, ye ni vi wa ba ban'wu hon ni shishi mbu, nda toh tash'men rhi ni qu ngame.
beginning from the baptism of John, to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection."
23 Ba ju nji ha zi, Yusufu wandi ba yondi Barsabbas, wandi bata yondi Justus ngame, mba Matayas.
They put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 Ba bre ndi “Baci, wuhi wu toh suron ndhi ko nha, tsro ta ka ahi nya nimi ndi bihi wa wu chu
They prayed, and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all people, show which one of these two you have chosen
25 ni du ban bubu son manzani wu bla kpe wa ato, nitu tash'm ma ni mimbu, wandi Juda a k'ma gon tiwu nda hi kpama.”
to take part in this ministry and office of apostle from which Judas turned away to go to his own place."
26 Ba yo kuriya nitu mba, wa a ku nitu Matayas, e ba bla a yo ni manzani wlo don iri ba.
They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
