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.
And the apostles and brethren who were in Jihud heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of Aloha.
2 Niwa Bitrus a hon ye rhi ni Urushelima, biwa ba he ni grjhi bi hanbru'a ba tre ba;
AND when Shemun had gone up to Urishlem, they who were of the circumcision contended with him,
3 nda tre ndi, wuka zontu ni biwa bana hanbru na, ndi rhi ni ba!
saying, that unto men uncircumcised he had entered, and had eaten with them.
4 Ama Bitrus alu kri mla bla kpi ba ni bawu ndi,
And Shemun put forth in order to say 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.
That while praying in Joppa I saw a vision; a certain vessel descended which was like to a sheet, and bound at the four corners: and it came down from heaven and came unto 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 gazing at it I beheld in it animals of four feet, and reptiles of the earth, and fowls of the heaven.
7 Mle mi wo lan tre nda hla nimu ndi, “Lu kri, Bitrus, wuu ndi tan!”
And I heard a voice which said to me, Shemun, arise, slay, and eat.
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, Not so, my Lord; for nothing hath entered my mouth that is unclean or profane.
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.
And again the voice said to me from heaven, What Aloha hath cleansed make not thou to be polluted.
10 Ikpe yi a zren ti nkpu tra, mle ba gbron k'ma hon hi ni shulu.
This was done three times, and every thing was taken up 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 moment three men, who had been sent to me by Cornelius from Cesarea, came and stood at the gate of the court where I was sojourning.
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 said to me, Go with them without doubting. And there went also with me these six brethren, and we entered into the 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 related to us how he had seen in his house an angel, who stood and said to him, Send to the city Joppa, and bring Shemun who is called Kipha,
14 Ani tre niyi nitu lan tre wa ani kpayi chuwo, iwu baba bi kome!
and he will speak with thee words by which thou wilt be saved, thou and all thy house.
15 Niwa mi guchi si tre ni ba, Ruhu Tsatsra a kuni tumba, tsra ni wa a ku nita ni mumla'a.
And when I proceeded to speak there, the Spirit of Holiness overshadowed them, as upon us from 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.”
And I remembered the word of our Lord, who said, Juhanon baptized you with waters, but you shall be baptized with the Spirit of Holiness.
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 Aloha equally hath given the gift to the Gentiles who have believed in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha as we, who was I, that I should be sufficient to prohibit Aloha?
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 when these words they had heard they were silent, and they praised Aloha, and said, Now also unto the Gentiles Aloha hath given repentance unto 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.
BUT they who had been dispersed by the tribulation that was concerning Estephanos went unto Punika, also to the region of Kypros and to Antiokia, but with any one not speaking the word unless only with the Jihudoyee.
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 of them were men of Kypros and of Kyrine; these entered into Antiokia, and discoursed with the Javnoyee, and evangelized concerning our Lord Jeshu.
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, and many believed, and were converted unto 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 this was heard by the ears of the sons of the church which was at Urishlem, and they sent Bar Naba to Antiokia.
23 Niwa a ye nda toh ti ndindi wu Irji, a ngri nda nronba duba kri ngbangba ni Bachi ni suron mba riri.
And when he came thither, and beheld the grace of Aloha, he rejoiced, and entreated them with all their heart to cleave to our 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 Spirit of Holiness and of faith, and there was added much people to our Lord.
25 Barnabas alu wruhi Tarsus nitu hi wa to Shawulu.
And he went forth to Tarsos to seek for Shaol;
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 found him he brought him with him to Antiokia. And a whole year together they assembled in the church, and taught much people: from thence first in Antiokia the disciples were called Christianee.
27 Zizan ni vi biyi, anabawa bari ba grji ye ni Antioch, rji ni Urushelima.
And in those days there came from Urishlem thither prophets.
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 arose whose name was Agabos: and he made known to them by the Spirit that a great famine would be in all the land. And that famine was in the days of Claudios Caesar.
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.
Therefore the disciples, according as each of them had, determined to send for the service of those brethren who dwelt in Jihud;
30 Ba tie kpeyi, nda tru nklen hi ni bi ninkon'a zu jni wo Barnabas mba Shawulu.
and they sent by the hand of Bar Naba and Shaol to the presbyters who were there.
