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.

Nowe the Apostles and the brethren that were in Iudea, heard, that the Gentiles had also receiued the worde of God.

2 Niwa Bitrus a hon ye rhi ni Urushelima, biwa ba he ni grjhi bi hanbru'a ba tre ba;

And when Peter was come vp to Hierusalem, they of the circumcision contended against him,

3 nda tre ndi, wuka zontu ni biwa bana hanbru na, ndi rhi ni ba!

Saying, Thou wentest in to men vncircumcised, and hast eaten with them.

4 Ama Bitrus alu kri mla bla kpi ba ni bawu ndi,

Then Peter beganne, and expounded the thing in order to them, saying,

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 citie of Ioppa, praying, and in a trance I sawe this vision, A certaine vessell comming downe as it had bene a great sheete, let downe from heauen by the foure corners, and it came 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.

Towarde the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and sawe foure footed beastes of the earth, and wilde beastes, and creeping things, and foules of the heauen.

7 Mle mi wo lan tre nda hla nimu ndi, “Lu kri, Bitrus, wuu ndi tan!”

Also I heard a voyce, saying vnto me, Arise, Peter: slay and eate.

8 Mi tre ndi, “Ana toki na, Bachi, nitu ni son mu, meme kpe wu kpa ti meme na ri ninyumu na.”

And I said, God forbid, Lord: for nothing polluted or vncleane hath at any time entred 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 voyce answered me the seconde time from heauen, The things that God hath purified, pollute thou not.

10 Ikpe yi a zren ti nkpu tra, mle ba gbron k'ma hon hi ni shulu.

And this was done three times, and all were taken vp againe into heauen.

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.

Then behold, immediatly there were three men already come vnto the house where I was, sent from Cesarea vnto me.

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 saide vnto me, that I should go with them, without doubting: moreouer these sixe brethren came with me, and we entred into the mans 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 shewed vs, howe he had seene an Angel in his house, which stoode and said to him, Send men to Ioppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter.

14 Ani tre niyi nitu lan tre wa ani kpayi chuwo, iwu baba bi kome!

He shall speake wordes vnto thee, whereby both thou and all thine house shalbe saued.

15 Niwa mi guchi si tre ni ba, Ruhu Tsatsra a kuni tumba, tsra ni wa a ku nita ni mumla'a.

And as I began to speake, the holy Ghost fell on them, euen as vpon vs at the beginning.

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.”

Then I remembred the word of the Lord, howe he said, Iohn baptized with water, but ye shalbe baptized with the holy Ghost.

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?

For as much then as God gaue them a like gift, as he did vnto vs, when we beleeued in the Lord Iesus Christ, who was I, that I coulde let 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.”

When they heard these things, they helde their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles graunted repentance vnto 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.

And they which were scattered abroade because of the affliction that arose about Steuen, went throughout till they came vnto Phenice and Cyprus, and Antiochia, preaching the worde to no man, but vnto the Iewes onely.

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.

Now some of them were men of Cyprus and of Cyrene, which when they were come into Antiochia, spake vnto the Grecians, and preached the Lord Iesus.

21 Iwo Bachi a he niba, gbugbu ndji ba kpanyme nda k'ma ye ni Bachi.

And the hand of the Lord was with them, so that a great number beleeued and turned vnto 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.

Then tydings of those things came vnto the eares of the Church, which was in Hierusalem, and they sent foorth Barnabas, that he should goe vnto Antiochia.

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 was come and had seene the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted all, that with purpose of heart they would continue in the Lord.

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 Ghost, and faith, and much people ioyned them selues vnto the Lord.

25 Barnabas alu wruhi Tarsus nitu hi wa to Shawulu.

Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus to seeke Saul:

And when he had founde him, he brought him vnto Antiochia: and it came to passe that a whole yere they were conuersant with ye Church, and taught much people, in so much that the disciples were first called Christians in Antiochia.

27 Zizan ni vi biyi, anabawa bari ba grji ye ni Antioch, rji ni Urushelima.

In those dayes also came Prophets from Hierusalem vnto Antiochia.

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 there stoode vp one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit, that there should be great famine throughout all the world, which also came to passe vnder Claudius Cesar.

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.

Then the disciples, euery man according to his ability, purposed to sende succour vnto the brethren which dwelt in Iudea.

30 Ba tie kpeyi, nda tru nklen hi ni bi ninkon'a zu jni wo Barnabas mba Shawulu.

Which thing they also did, and sent it to the Elders, by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
