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.
But at this time king Herod reached forth his hands to persecute some of those from the church.
2 A wuu Yakubu vayi Yohana ni Takobi.
And he slew James the brother of John with a 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 is pleasing to the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also: and those were the days of the 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 also put in prison, having committed him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him; wishing to bring him out to the people after the passover.
5 Toki, ba tro Bitrus zi ni tra tro, ama biwa ba bi ekklisiya ba kri gbangban ni bre Irji ni tu ma.
Then indeed Peter was kept in prison: but prayer to God in his behalf was incessantly made by the church.
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.
But when Herod was about to lead him forth, and Peter was sleeping that night between two soldiers, and bound with two chains; and the guards were keeping guard before the door.
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 stood over him, and a light shone in the house; and having touched the side of Peter, he raised him up, saying; Rise up quickly. And his chains fell off from 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 put on thy sandals. And he thus did. And he says to him, Throw thy cloak 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 having come out, he was following; and did not know that it is true which was done by the angel; but he was thinking that 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 come through the first guard and the second, they came to the iron gate leading into the city; which opened to them of its own accord: and having come out, they came on to the first street; and the angel immediately 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 Peter coming to himself, said, Now I know truly, that the Lord sent his angel, and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, out of 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 recognizing his whereabouts, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John, called Mark; where many were assembled 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 he knocking at the door of the gate, a damsel, by name Rhoda, came to hearken:
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 recognizing the voice of Peter, from joy did not open the gate, but running in, she proclaimed that Peter stands before the gate.
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, You are gone mad; but she persisted 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 remained 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 he, beckoning to them with his hand to keep silent, related how the Lord led him out from the prison: and said, Proclaim these things to James, and the brethren. And having gone out, he departed into 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 it being day, there was no small commotion among the soldiers, as to where Peter then was.
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 found him not, condemning the guards, commanded that they should be put to death; and having gone down from Judea to Caesarea, he tarried.
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 very angry with the Tyrians and Sidonians: and they unanimously came to him, and having persuaded Blastus who was over the chamber of the king, they continued to seek peace; because their country is supported by the kings.
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.
But on an appointed day, Herod, invested with his royal apparel, sitting on his tribunal, delivered a discourse to them:
22 Ndji ba ba kpagro ndi, “Wayi hi lan Irji ana wu ndji na!”
and the people shouted, It is the voice 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.
And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not the glory to God; and being eaten by worms, he breathed out his soul.
24 Ama lantre Irji a si bwu bran ndani krigbu.
And the word of the Lord increased 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
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem, having filled their ministry, taking with them John, called Mark.
