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.
Nowe about that time, Herod the King stretched forth his hands to vexe certaine of the Church,
2 A wuu Yakubu vayi Yohana ni Takobi.
And he killed Iames the brother of Iohn 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 when he sawe that it pleased the Iewes, he proceeded further, to take Peter also (then were the dayes of vnleauened 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.
And when he had caught him, he put him in prison, and deliuered him to foure quaternions of souldiers to be kept, intending after the Passeouer to bring him foorth 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.
So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest prayer was made of ye Church vnto God for 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 woulde haue brought him out vnto the people, the same night slept Peter betweene two souldiers, bound with two chaines, and the keepers before the doore, 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 behold the Angel of the Lord came vpon them, and a light shined in the house, and he smote Peter on the side, and raysed him vp, saying, Arise quickely. And his chaines fell off from his handes.
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 saide vnto him, Girde thy selfe, and binde on thy sandales. And so he did. Then he said vnto him, Cast thy 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.
So Peter came out and followed him, and knewe not that it was true, which was done by the Angel, but thought he had seene 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.
Nowe when they were past the first and the second watch, they came vnto the yron gate, that leadeth vnto the citie, which opened to them by it owne accord, and they went out, and passed through one streete, and by and by the Angel departed from 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 when Peter was come to himselfe, he said, Nowe I know for a trueth, that the Lord hath sent his Angel, and hath deliuered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the wayting for of the people of the Iewes.
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 as he considered the thing, he came to the house of Marie, the mother of Iohn, whose surname was Marke, where many were gathered together, and prayed.
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 Peter knocked at the entrie doore, a maide came foorth to hearken, named Rhode,
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.
But when she knew Peters voyce, she opened not the entrie doore for gladnesse, but ranne in, and tolde howe Peter stood before the entrie.
15 Ba kri hlawu ndi, “Wu sran.” Ama a kri gbangban nitu a hi njanji. Ba tre ndi, “A hi ibrji ma.
But they said vnto her, Thou art mad. Yet she affirmed it constantly, that it was so. Then said they, 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 when they had opened it, and sawe him, they were astonied.
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 he beckened vnto them with the hand, to hold their peace, and told them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he saide, Goe shewe these things vnto Iames and to the brethren: and he departed and went into an other place.
18 Niwa mble a nhra, ana tsitu fime wa a ri ni mi sojoji ba na nitu ka ahi ngye ti Bitrus.
Nowe assoone as it was day, there was no small trouble among the souldiers, what 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 when Herod had sought for him, and found him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded them to be led to be punished. And he went downe from Iudea to Cesarea, and there abode.
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.
Then Herod was angrie with them of Tyrus and Sidon, but they came all with one accord vnto him, and perswaded Blastus the Kings Chamberlaine, and they desired peace, because their countrey was nourished by the Kings land.
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 vpon a day appointed, Herod arayed himselfe in royall apparell, and sate on the iudgement seate, and made an oration vnto them.
22 Ndji ba ba kpagro ndi, “Wayi hi lan Irji ana wu ndji na!”
And the people gaue a shoute, saying, The voyce of God, and not of man.
23 Hari me, Maleka Bachi a kri yo wru, nitu ana nu Irji ninkon na; ntson mra ba kri rhiwu wuu.
But immediatly the Angel of the Lord smote him, because he gaue not glorie vnto God, so that he was eaten of wormes, and gaue vp the ghost.
24 Ama lantre Irji a si bwu bran ndani krigbu.
And the worde of God grewe, and multiplied.
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
So Barnabas and Saul returned from Hierusalem, when they had fulfilled their office, and tooke with them Iohn, whose surname was Marke.
