Ndu Manzaniba 11
1 Zizan manzani ba, baba mri vayi wa bana he Yahudiya ba wo ndi bi kora ba ngame ba kpa lantre Rji.
Now the Apostles and the brothers who were in Judaea had news that the word of God had been given to the Gentiles.
2 Niwa Bitrus a hon ye rhi ni Urushelima, biwa ba he ni grjhi bi hanbru'a ba tre ba;
And when Peter came to Jerusalem, those who kept the rule of circumcision had an argument with him,
3 nda tre ndi, wuka zontu ni biwa bana hanbru na, ndi rhi ni ba!
Saying, You went to men without circumcision, and took food with them.
4 Ama Bitrus alu kri mla bla kpi ba ni bawu ndi,
But Peter gave them an account of it all in order, saying to them,
5 Mi sia bre ni mi gbu Joppa, u Mi kri hra too ra, toh ekpe si grjhi ye, a rjuto kikle nk'ma bla wa basii chuwo si grji rji ni shulu, ba vuu nji ni nton nza ma. A grji ye ni me.
I was in the town of Joppa, at prayer: and falling into a deep sleep, I saw in a vision a vessel like a great cloth let down from heaven, and it came down to me:
6 Mi ya'u nzrime ni rhimre nitu ma, Mi toh n'ma rju bi gbungblu meme, bi zren ni za nza, meme bi ki ni tsutsu miji, bi nha ni meme baba nchinche bi shulu.
And looking on it with attention I saw in it all sorts of beasts and birds.
7 Mle mi wo lan tre nda hla nimu ndi, “Lu kri, Bitrus, wuu ndi tan!”
And a voice came to my ears saying, Come, Peter; take them for food.
8 Mi tre ndi, “Ana toki na, Bachi, nitu ni son mu, meme kpe wu kpa ti meme na ri ninyumu na.”
But I said, No, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever come into my mouth.
9 Ama ilan a k'ma sa nimu rji ni shulu ndi, 'Ekpe wa Irji k'ma ti sa'a, wuna yo ndi a ti rji na.
But the voice, coming a second time from heaven, said, What God has made clean, do not you make common.
10 Ikpe yi a zren ti nkpu tra, mle ba gbron k'ma hon hi ni shulu.
And this was done three times, and they were all taken up again into heaven.
11 Bika mla toh, niki, ndji tra ba kri wruki ni kontra ko wa kina he nimi'a; ba ton ba ye nime rji ni Caesarea.
And at that minute, three men, sent from Caesarea, came to the house where we were.
12 Ruhu a tre gbangban nime du mi huba hi, ni du mi na yaba ti nkan na. Mri vayi tanne biyi ba hume, u ki rihi nimiko igu'a.
And the Spirit gave me orders to go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brothers came with me; and we went into that man's house:
13 A vu bla ni tawu nitu wa a toh Maleka a kri ni koma nda hla wu ndi, “Ton ndji me hi ni Joppa du ba hi nji Siman ye, wa ba yo ndi Bitrus.
And he gave us an account of how he had seen the angel in his house, saying, Send to Joppa, and get Simon, named Peter, to come to you;
14 Ani tre niyi nitu lan tre wa ani kpayi chuwo, iwu baba bi kome!
Who will say words to you through which you and all your family may get salvation.
15 Niwa mi guchi si tre ni ba, Ruhu Tsatsra a kuni tumba, tsra ni wa a ku nita ni mumla'a.
And, while I was talking to them, the Holy Spirit came on them, as on us at first.
16 Mi tika ni lan tre Bachi, niwa a tre ndi “Yohana a tie batisma ni mma, ama biyi bi kpa batisma wu Ruhu Tsatsra.”
And the words of the Lord came into my mind, how he said, The baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit.
17 Niki, Irji nita nuba kpe tsra niwa a nuta hamma ni du ta han, niwa ki kpanyme ni Bachi Yesu Kristi, me mi nha, wa mi kri sen nyu ni Irji?
If then God gave them, when they had faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the same as he gave to us, who was I to go against God?
18 Niwa ba wo kpi biyi, bana sa tre ni tuma ngana, ama nda nzu nde Irji hon nda tre ndi, “Irji niu kma sron sran vri ni biwa ba bi kora'a ngame.”
And hearing these things they said nothing more, but gave glory to God, saying, Then to the Gentiles as to us has God given a change of heart, so that they may have life.
19 Zizan, biwa bana vra nitu iya wa a rirhi ni tu Istifanus, ba zren gbangban ka ri ni Phoenicia, Cyprus mba Antioch, ndani bla lan tre ni Yahudawa ba megen.
Then those who had gone away at the time of the trouble about Stephen, went as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus, preaching to the Jews only.
20 Ama bari mba, ndji bi Cyprus mba Cyrene ba ye ni Antioch nda bla ni biwa ba Greek ngame, ndani d'bu ni bau, tre ndindi nitu Bachi Yesu.
But some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, when they came to Antioch, gave the good news about the Lord Jesus to the Greeks.
21 Iwo Bachi a he niba, gbugbu ndji ba kpanyme nda k'ma ye ni Bachi.
And the power of the Lord was with them, and a great number had faith and were turned to the Lord.
22 Itre ni tu mba aka ku ni ton ekklisiya ni Urushelima, u baka ton Barnabas du rju zren gbagban mu ka ri ni Antioch.
And news of them came to the ears of the church at Jerusalem: and they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch:
23 Niwa a ye nda toh ti ndindi wu Irji, a ngri nda nronba duba kri ngbangba ni Bachi ni suron mba riri.
Who, when he came and saw the grace of God, was glad; and he made clear to them the need of keeping near the Lord with all the strength of their hearts:
24 Nitu ana ndji wu ndindi suron, shuni Ruhu Tsatsra mba suron kri ngbangban, u ndji gbugbu ba ka nhani Bachi.
For he was a good man and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith: and a great number were joined to the Lord.
25 Barnabas alu wruhi Tarsus nitu hi wa to Shawulu.
Then he went on to Tarsus, looking for Saul;
26 Niwa a too'a, a njiwu ye ni Antioch, Aye heme ndi ba ki ni ekklisiya wu seri wawu, nda du ba gbrontu yo bubu riri nda zita tsro ndji gbugbu'u. A he ni Antioch mba ba guchi yo mri ko bi hu; a ndi Krista.
And when he had come across him, he took him to Antioch. And they were with the church there for a year, teaching the people; and the disciples were first given the name of Christians in Antioch.
27 Zizan ni vi biyi, anabawa bari ba grji ye ni Antioch, rji ni Urushelima.
Now in those days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.
28 Iri mba, ni nde Agabus, a lu kri, ni chon Ruhu Tsatsra, nda tre ndi mem yon ni ye ku ni ngbran meme wawu. Ekpe a ye he toki ni ba vi wu Claudius.
And one of them, named Agabus, said publicly through the Spirit that there would be serious need of food all over the earth: which came about in the time of Claudius.
29 Nikima, mri ko bi hu'a, tsra ni gbengblen ma, ba zontu nda tru izo mba hi ni mri vayi wa ba he ni Judiya.
And the disciples, everyone as he was able, made a decision to send help to the brothers living in Judaea:
30 Ba tie kpeyi, nda tru nklen hi ni bi ninkon'a zu jni wo Barnabas mba Shawulu.
Which they did, sending it to the rulers of the church by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
