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.
Now, about that time, Herod, the king, laid hands on some of the congregation, to afflict them.
2 A wuu Yakubu vayi Yohana ni Takobi.
And he 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 as he saw that this was acceptable to the Jews, he went on to seize Peter also: and it was in 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.
and having seized him, he put him in prison, delivering him to the custody of four quaternions of soldiers, intending, 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.
In the meantime, therefore, Peter was kept in the prison; but earnest and continued prayer was made to God on his account, by the congregation.
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 ready to have brought him out, even that very night, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains; and the guards before the door were keeping 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, a messenger of the Lord presented himself, and a light shone in the house; giving Peter a blow on the side, he awoke him, saying, Arise 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 messenger said to him, Gird yourself, and bind on your sandals; and he did so. And he said to him, Throw your mantle round you, 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 out he followed him; and he did not know that what was done by the messenger was real; but supposed that he had seen 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 passing through the first and second watch, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city; which opened to them of its own accord. And going out, they went through one street, and immediately the messenger 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, being come to himself, said, Now I know truly, that the Lord has sent his messenger, and has delivered me from the hand of Herod, and from all the expectations of the Jewish people.
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 recollecting, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John, who was surnamed Mark; where many were gathered together, 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 as Peter knocked at the door of the outer gate, a maiden, whose name was Rose, went to inquire who was there.
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 knowing Peter's voice, transported with joy, she did not open the gate: but running in, told them that Peter was standing at 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 distracted: but she confidently affirmed that it was so.
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 she opened the door, 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 made a sign to them with his hand to be silent; and related to them how the Lord had conducted him out of prison. And he aid, Inform James and the brethren of these things: and departing, he 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 as soon as it was day, there was no small tumult among the soldiers, 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 Herod searching for him, and not finding him, examined the keeper, and ordered them to be led away to execution. and passing from Judea to Cesarea, he abode 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 highly incensed against the Tyrians and Sidonians; but they unanimously came before him; and gaining Blastus, the king's chamberlain, to their interest, they begged for peace; because their country was nourished by that of the king.
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 upon a set day, Herod, being arrayed in a royal habit, and seated upon the throne, made an oration to them.
22 Ndji ba ba kpagro ndi, “Wayi hi lan Irji ana wu ndji na!”
And the people cried out, It is the voice of a God, and not of a man!
23 Hari me, Maleka Bachi a kri yo wru, nitu ana nu Irji ninkon na; ntson mra ba kri rhiwu wuu.
But immediately a messenger of the Lord smote him, because he did not give glory to God: and being eaten with worms, he expired.
24 Ama lantre Irji a si bwu bran ndani krigbu.
And the word of God grew and was 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, having fulfilled their ministry, returned from Jerusalem; bringing along with them John, whose surname was Mark.
