Ndu Manzaniba 12
1 Zizan, wieiweire ni nton wa Herod, kikle chu'a a saa wo nitu biwa ba bi ikklissiya ba, nitu du vu ba tiiya.
At that time Herod the king laid his hands on some of those of the assembly to do them hurt,
2 A wuu Yakubu vayi Yohana ni Takobi.
and slew James, the brother of John, with the sword.
3 Hu gon wa ato ndi kima a biya ni Yahudawa ba, a hon hi ka vu Bitrus ngame. Kima a he ni ba vi wu bredi wandi ba klan hamma ni du sa nda en na.
And seeing that it was pleasing to the Jews, he went on to take Peter also: (and they were the days of unleavened bread: )
4 Niwa a vuulo'a, a njiwu ka tro ni kotro, ni wo sojoji nklan nza du ba mla ya; a ta son ndji wa ani njiwu rjuye nu ndji hu kle igan-u nigra.
whom having seized he put in prison, having delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep, purposing after the passover to bring him out to the people.
5 Toki, ba tro Bitrus zi ni tra tro, ama biwa ba bi ekklisiya ba kri gbangban ni bre Irji ni tu ma.
Peter therefore was kept in the prison; but unceasing prayer was made by the assembly to God concerning him.
6 Nichu wa mble ka nhran hu'a, Herod anata chu rjuye duba bla tre nituma, Bitrus a sia kruna ni tsutsu sojoji harhi, nimi lo ni sraka harhi, ni bi gben ni nyu nkontra ni duba mla ta ya nkontra'a.
And when Herod was going to bring him forth, that night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and guards before the door kept the prison.
7 Mle, Maleka Bachi a lu kri tanwrhu, ikpan lu ri nda kri bwu tra wu ko tro'a, ndu ku wrhu Bitrus ni kosan nda ta'u sh'me ni nna'a nda hlawu ndi, “Lukri gbagbla,” u sraka'a ba ju kuhle rjini woma.
And lo, an angel of [the] Lord came there, and a light shone in the prison: and having smitten the side of Peter, he roused him up, saying, Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off his hands.
8 Maleka a hlawu ndi, “Lo kpame ni vu lagban wu zame sru.” Bitrus a tie toki. Maleka a hlawu ndi “Vu nklon me wu kora'a sru ni hume.”
And the angel said to him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And he did so. And he says to him, Cast thine upper garment about thee and follow me.
9 Niki, Bitrus a hu Maleka zren rju. Ana to ndi kpe wa Maleka a tia a hi njanji na. A tre ndi a si toh ni raa mu.
And going forth he followed [him] and did not know that what was happening by means of the angel was real, but supposed he saw a vision.
10 Niwa ba zren ka vu y'ba bi gben bi mumla, mba wu ha, nda ye ni kikle nkon karfe wu ri ni gbu'a, a bwu kikima ni bawu. Ba rju grji hu nkon wu mi gbu'a, u Maleka a kri kaado.
And having passed through a first and second guard, they came to the iron gate which leads into the city, which opened to them of itself; and going forth they went down one street, and immediately the angel left him.
11 Niwa mren Bitrus a k'ma ye niwu, a tre ndi, “Zizan, mi mla toh wu njanji ndi Bachi yi a ton Maleka ni du ye kpame chuwo ni wo Hiridus, mba wawu kpi wa Yahudawa ba bata yo shishi ndi ba toh.”
And Peter, being come to himself, said, Now I know certainly that [the] Lord has sent forth his angel and has taken me out of the hand of Herod and all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
12 Ni mla to toki, a zren hi ni ko Maryamu iyi Yohana, wa ba yo ndi Markus ngame, niki ndji gbugbuwu bana zontu ki si bre Irji.
And having become clearly conscious [in himself], he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was surnamed Mark, where were many gathered together and praying.
13 Niwa a wrunkon wu kikle nkotra u ri ni ko'a, vivren wa wu ndu ni ko'a, wa ndema hi Ruda a ye nitu du ye kpa yo'a.
And when he had knocked at the door of the entry, a maid came to listen, by name Rhoda;
14 Niwa a wo lan Bitrus nda to ndi a yi wawuyi, nitu ngyiri ana bwu nkon a na nda tsutsu ri hi nimi ko'a, nda ka hla bawu ndi Bitrus kri ni nyu nkontra wu kora.
and having recognised the voice of Peter, through joy did not open the entry, but running in, reported that Peter was standing before the entry.
15 Ba kri hlawu ndi, “Wu sran.” Ama a kri gbangban nitu a hi njanji. Ba tre ndi, “A hi ibrji ma.
And they said to her, Thou art mad. But she maintained that it was so. And they said, It is his angel.
16 Ama Bitrus ana donme ni wrunko'a na, ni bwu nko mba, ba too nda kri bwunyu yo ni h'yo.
But Peter continued knocking: and having opened, they saw him and were astonished.
17 Bitrus a ti ba niwo duba son gbangbi, nda bla bawu nitu wa Bachi a njiwu rju ni kotro. A tre ndi, ton ba hi ni Yakubu baba mbru mri vayi ba nitu kpeyi. Mle a lu don ba nda zren hi ni buburi nkan.
And having made a sign to them with his hand to be silent, he related [to them] how the Lord had brought him out of prison; and he said, Report these things to James and to the brethren. And he went out and went to another place.
18 Niwa mble a nhra, ana tsitu fime wa a ri ni mi sojoji ba na nitu ka ahi ngye ti Bitrus.
And when it was day there was no small disturbance among the soldiers, what then was become of Peter.
19 Hu wa Hiridus a wa nda na too na, a mye bi gben ba nda yo ba ni duba wu ba. Hu ki, a grji rji ni Judiya hi ni Caesarea nda ka son niki.
And Herod having sought him and not found him, having examined the guards, commanded [them] to be executed. And he went down from Judaea to Caesarea and stayed [there].
20 Zizan Hiridus a shu ni nfu ni ndji bi Tyre mba Sidon. Ba hi niwu nitu kpe riri, nda weire Blastus, wa ani zo ninkon chu'a ndu, andi du yo nyu zoba, ba mye ndi duba ki ni sikpe ni gbungblu meme wu nikon chu'a.
And he was in bitter hostility with [the] Tyrians and Sidonians; but they came to him with one accord, and, having gained Blastus the king's chamberlain, sought peace, because their country was nourished by the king's.
21 Ni vi wa ba yo'a, Hiridus a sru nklon ma u bi chu nda son ni ruron wu tu chuma, nda lu tre ni ba.
And on a set day, clothed in royal apparel and sitting on the elevated seat [of honour], Herod made a public oration to them.
22 Ndji ba ba kpagro ndi, “Wayi hi lan Irji ana wu ndji na!”
And the people cried out, A god's voice and not a man's.
23 Hari me, Maleka Bachi a kri yo wru, nitu ana nu Irji ninkon na; ntson mra ba kri rhiwu wuu.
And immediately an angel of [the] Lord smote him, because he did not give the glory to God, and he expired, eaten of worms.
24 Ama lantre Irji a si bwu bran ndani krigbu.
But the word of God grew and spread itself.
25 Niki, niwa Barnabas mba Shawulu ba kle ndu zren mba, ba k'ma zren rji ni Urishelima, nda nji nha niba Yohana, wa ba yo ndi Markus
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, having fulfilled the service [entrusted to them], taking also with them John, surnamed Mark.
