1 Zizan ni Ekklisiya wu Antioch, Anabawa baba bi tsro bari bana he. Bana ba BArnabas, Siman (wa ba yondi Niger), Lucius wu Cyrene, Manaen (vayi Herod wu retrarch wa bana kpa'u nji toh wu ngrji hi mba), mba Shawulu.

There were also in the Church that was at Antiochia, certaine Prophets and teachers, as Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manahen (which had bin brought vp with Herod the Tetrarche) and Saul.

2 Niwa basia bre ni kaa rhi kpe nda ni nzu Bachi hon, Ruhu Tsatsra a tre ndi, “Chuu ba Barnabas mba Shawulu zi tinkan nimu, ni duba ti ndu wa mi yoba duba ti.”

Nowe as they ministred to the Lord, and fasted, the holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul, for the worke whereunto I haue called them.

3 Hu bre ni kaarhibiri, mba yo woh ni tumba, ba tru ba yo ni duba hi.

Then fasted they and prayed, and layde their hands on them, and let them goe.

4 Kima, Barnaba mba Shawulu, niwa Ruhu Tsatsra a ton ba rjuhi'a, ba grji hi Seleucia; rhiniki ba wu jrigi mma hini Cyprus.

And they, after they were sent foorth of the holy Ghost, came downe vnto Seleucia, and from thence they sayled to Cyprus.

And when they were at Salamis, they preached the worde of God in the Synagogues of the Iewes: and they had also Iohn to their minister.

6 Niwa ba zren kaagon nclan meme gbungblu kima hi ni Paphos, ba ka tsra ni ndji wu katibrji ri ndi Yahudi wa ana anabi wu che, wa ndema ana Bar Yesu.

So when they had gone throughout the yle vnto Paphus, they found a certaine sorcerer, a false prophet, being a Iewe, named Bariesus,

7 Ndji wu katibrji ana ta zren zontu ni kikle ndji wu gaatre, Sergius Paulus, wa aheni mre toh kpe kpukpome. Igu yi a yoye ni kpama, ba Barnabas mba Shawulu, nitu a nison wo lantre Irji.

Which was with the Deputie Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. He called vnto him Barnabas and Saul, and desired to heare the woorde of God.

8 Ama Elymas “Wu katibrji” (toki ba k'ma ndema sran) a lu kri sen nyu wu ka kpanyme niba; a ta son k'ma kikle Iguwu gaatre rju ni nkon kpanyme'a.

But Elymas, ye sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstoode them, and sought to turne away the Deputie from the faith.

9 Niki Shawulu, wandi bata yondi Bulus ngame, shuni Ruhu Tsatsra, a yo shishi yau gbahme

Then Saul (which also is called Paul) being full of the holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,

10 nda tre ndi, Iwu vren brji, wu shuni kpi kankan wu gyru mba meme dri. Wu kame ni ko ngye wa a he ni nkon tsatsra'a. Wuna don me ni k'ma sran nkon triime wu Bachi, ka ana naki na?

And sayde, O full of all subtiltie and all mischiefe, the childe of the deuill, and enemie of all righteousnesse, wilt thou not cease to peruert the straight waies of the Lord?

11 Zizan ya, Iwoh Bachi a he ni tume, wu k'mati ndji wu mfyen. Wuna toh kpanrhi wu nton bari na.” Hihari niki, ikpe too iwru mba bwu a ku nitu Elymas; wa dusi zren ni kaagon siwa nji duba vu ni wo tsro nkon.

Nowe therefore behold, the hand of the Lord is vpon thee, and thou shalt be blinde, and not see the sunne for a season. And immediately there fel on him a mist and a darknes; and he went about, seeking some to leade him by the hand.

12 Huwa kikle wu gaatre a toh kpewa a zren'a, a kpanyme, nitu tre wu Bachi wa a wo'a, a nuu rhimre ni sissri.

Then the Deputie when he sawe what was done, beleeued, and was astonied at the doctrine of the Lord.

13 Zizan Bulus baba kpukpan ma ba ba wru zren hu ni nokn maa rjini Paphos nda ka rini Perga wu Pamphylia. Ama Yohana a kaba don nda k'ma hi ni Urushelima.

Nowe when Paul and they that were with him were departed by shippe from Paphus, they came to Perga a citie of Pamphylia: then Iohn departed from them, and returned to Hierusalem.

14 Bulus baba kpukpan ma ba zren rhi ni Perga nda ka rini Antioch wu Pisidia. Niki bahi ka rini Synagogue chachu Sati nda ka kuson.

But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antiochia a citie of Pisidia, and went into the Synagogue on ye Sabbath day, and sate downe.

15 Hu, vu bla nha wu doka mba wu ba anabawa ba, bi ninkon wu Synagogue ba ton ba ni tre ndi, “Mri vayi, bita he ni tre wu nron ni ndji biyi, bika hla.”

And after the lecture of the Law and Prophets, the rulers of ye Synagogue sent vnto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye haue any word of exhortation for the people, say on.

16 Niki Bulus a lu kri nda nzuwo tibawu nda tre ndi, “Ndji bi Israila baba biyi wa bi klu Irji, woo yi.

Then Paul stoode vp and beckened with the hand, and sayde, Men of Israel, and yee that feare God, hearken.

17 Irji wu ndji bi Israila yi a chu ba bachimbu nda du ndji ba bran ti gbu, niwa bana ki meme Egypt, mba ni woma waa nzu hon, a nji ba rju nikima.

The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt in the land of Egypt, and with an high arme brought them out thereof.

18 Ni nton mla ise tso-tra-don-nza a tiya nji ba nimi gbungblu tsutsu miji. / Vunvu nha bi sen bari ba yo ndi / Wu ise mla tso-tra-don-nza asi mlabaya nji ni gbungblu tsutsu miji. /

And about the time of fourtie yeeres, suffered he their maners in the wildernesse.

19 Hu gon wa a yra gbungblu ndji tangban wa bana he ni meme Canaan'a, a ban meme mba nu ndji mbu ni du k'ma ti umba.

And he destroied seuen nations in the land of Chanaan, and deuided their lad to them by lot.

20 Ikpe biyi ba rhuhe toki zan se 450 wa baka hi ye. Hu gon kpi biyi, Irji a nuba bi gaatre ka tsra ni nton anabi Samuel.

Then afterward he gaue vnto them Iudges about foure hundreth and fiftie yeeres, vnto the time of Samuel the Prophet.

21 Mle ndji ba ba mye ndi du nuba chu, u Irji a nuba Shawulu vren Kish, ndji wu grijhi Benjamin, ni du hon ti chu nitumba wu se tso-tra-don-nza.

So after that, they desired a King, and God gaue vnto them Saul, the sonne of Cis, a man of ye tribe of Beniamin, by the space of fourty yeres.

22 Hu kima, Irji a churhu ni tuchu'a, nda nzu Dauda hon ni du k'ma he chumba. Ana Dauda yi wa Irji a hla tre ni tuma ndi, “Ngye mi ye toh Dauda vren Jesse a hi ndji wa ani hu sron mu, wa ani ti wawu kpiwa Mison ni du ti.

And after he had taken him away, he raised vp Dauid to be their King, of whom he witnessed, saying, I haue found Dauid the sonne of Iesse, a man after mine owne heart, which will doe all things that I will.

23 Rhini h'pu iguhi Irji njiye ni Israila ndji wu kpachuwo, Yesu wa ana shirji ni tu a ni ti toki.

Of this mans seede hath God according to his promise raised vp to Israel, ye Sauiour Iesus:

24 Niwa Yesu a rhihe ye, Yohana a d'bu batisma wu k'ma sron sran ni ndji bi Israila wawu.

When Iohn had first preached before his coming the baptisme of repentance to all the people of Israel.

25 Niwa a ta kle ndu ma, a tre ndi 'Bi rhimre ndi me mi nha?' Me, Mina wawuyi na. Ama srenton, iri ni ye hu gon mu, lagban za ma me mina mlakri wa mi siwuna.

And when Iohn had fulfilled his course, he saide, Whom ye thinke that I am, I am not he: but beholde, there commeth one after me, whose shooe of his feete I am not worthy to loose.

26 Mri vayi, mri wu iyi Ibrahim, baba biwa ba he nimi mbi wa ba klu Irji, ahi ni tawuyi mba ba ton tre wu kpachuwu yi ye.

Yee men and brethren, children of the generation of Abraham, and whosoeuer among you feareth God, to you is the woorde of this saluation sent.

27 Ni ndji biwa ba ki ni Urushelima, baba bi tuchu mba, bana mla too na nda du lantre ba anabawa wa ba ta bla chachu ni vi wu Sati'a, a hon tumba niwa ba kaamba niwu.

For the inhabitants of Hierusalem, and their rulers, because they knewe him not, nor yet the woordes of the Prophets, which are read euery Sabbath day, they haue fulfilled them in condemning him.

28 Niwa ba wa ndana toh kpe wu lowu wu qu na, ba yo Pilate ndi du wuu.

And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate to kill him.

29 Niwa ba kle wawu kpi wa bana nha nituma'a, ba banwu grji rhini kunkron'a nda kawu yo kru nimi ibe.

And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they tooke him downe from the tree, and put him in a sepulchre.

30 Ama Irji a nzuulu rjini qu.

But God raised him vp from the dead.

31 Wu vi gbugbuwu ndji waba hu rji ni Galili ye Urushelima basi too. Ahi ndji biyi yi basi bla kpi wa bato nituma ni ndji ba.

And hee was seene many dayes of them, which came vp with him from Galile to Hierusalem, which are his witnesses vnto the people.

32 Niki ki hla yiwu tre ndindi, shirji wa a ye niba bachimbu

And we declare vnto you, that touching the promise made vnto the fathers,

33 a du ba ye he toki nitawu, mri mba, nitu wa a nzu Yesu lu. Na wa ba nha ni Zabura wu ha: “Wu hi wu vren mu, luwa mi k'ma ti time, /

God hath fulfilled it vnto vs their children, in that he raised vp Iesus, euen as it is written in the seconde Psalme, Thou art my Sonne: this day haue I begotten thee.

34 Nituwa a nzuu lu rji ni qu nitu du na la ka k'ma ye na, Irji a tre toyi: / Mie nu tsatsra mbalulu wa mi shirji ni Dauda.

Nowe as concerning that he raised him vp from the dead, no more to returne to corruption, he hath said thus, I wil giue you the holy things of Dauid, which are faithfull.

35 Nitu ki ala tre ni Zabura ri ngari ndi “Wuna du tsatsra me du toh gla na.'

Wherefore hee sayeth also in another place, Thou wilt not suffer thine Holy one to see corruption.

36 Niwa Dauda a kle ndu wa Irji a son niwu'a ni k'ba bi ngrjima, a ku kruna, e ba karhuu baba ba bachima, e k'ma ma a toh gla.

Howbeit, Dauid after hee had serued his time by the counsell of God, hee slept, and was laid with his fathers, and sawe corruption.

37 Ama wawu wa Irji a nzu lu'a ana toh gla na.

But he whom God raised vp, sawe no corruption.

38 Niki bika toh, mri vayi, ndi, zu ni wo guyi, ba d'bu nihiwu, kpawruhle lahtre.

Be it knowen vnto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached vnto you the forgiuenesse of sinnes.

39 Zuni wu, ko nha wa a kpanyme ani kpa yandindi nitu wawu kpi wa doka Musa ana toh ya ndindi niwu na.

And from al things, from which ye could not be iustified by the Law of Moses, by him euery one that beleeueth, is iustified.

40 Nikima, mla zren nitu kpi wa anabawa ba tre nituma duna hon nitu mbi na:

Beware therefore lest that come vpon you, which is spoken of in the Prophets,

41 Mla ya, biyi bi kpa wruhle, ni ya ni nyu ni w'ho, mle ni qu kado; Toh, mi nji ndu niye nimi vi mbi biyi, Ndu wa bina kpanyme niwu na, ko ndrjo ri nita d'bu bla yiwu.'”

Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and vanish away: for I woorke a woorke in your daies, a woorke which yee shall not beleeue, if a man would declare it you.

42 Niwa Bulus mba BArnaba ba lusi hi, ndji ba ba breba ni duba la tre lan tre ba ngari ni chachu Sati wu hu kima.

And when they were come out of the Synagogue of the Iewes, the Gentiles besought, that they woulde preach these woordes to them the next Sabbath day.

43 Niwa ku son mba wu Synagogue a ye kle'a, yahudawa gbugbumba baba biwa ba kpanyme nda k'ma ni hu Irji mba ba hu Bulus mba Barnaba, e ba tre niba nda nron ba ndi duba kri gbangban ni nkon ndindi wu Irji.

Nowe when the congregation was dissolued, many of the Iewes and Proselytes that feared God, followed Paul and Barnabas, which spake to them, and exhorted them to continue in the grace of God.

44 Nivi Sati wa aka hu kima, igbua wawu ba ye zontu ki nitu duba wo lantre wu Bachi.

And ye next Sabbath day came almost the whole citie together, to heare the worde of God.

45 Niwa Yahudawa ba ba toh kpaandi ba, ngu a shu ni sron mba, nda duba tre meme nitu kpi wa Bulus a tre'a, nda si mren'u.

But when the Iewes saw the people, they were full of enuie, and spake against those things, which were spoken of Paul, contrarying them, and railing on them.

46 Ama Bulus mba Barnaba ba tre rju ni gbengble sron ndi “Abi wa du yi guchi wo bla lantre Irji. Ni toyi bi tru hle rjuni kpa mbi, ni ban kpambi ti wa bina mla wu kpa vri wa ana kle na, tooyi, ki k'ma hi nibi wa ba bi kora. (aiōnios g166)

Then Paul and Barnabas spake boldly, and sayde, It was necessarie that the woorde of God shoulde first haue beene spoken vnto you: but seeing yee put it from you, and iudge your selues vnworthie of euerlasting life, loe, we turne to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)

47 Toki Bachi a mmhata gbangban ni tre ndi, 'Mi yoyi nji kpachuwo hi ni gbungblu nkankan wu meme wawuu.'”

For so hath the Lord commanded vs, saying, I haue made thee a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be the saluation vnto the end of the world.

48 Niwa bi kora'a ba wo tre yi, ba ngyiri nda nzu hon lantre wu Bachi. Wawu biwa a yoba yo ni duba kpa ivri wa ana kle na, ba kpanyme niwu. (aiōnios g166)

And when the Gentiles heard it, they were glad, and glorified the woorde of the Lord: and as many as were ordeined vnto eternall life, beleeued. (aiōnios g166)

49 Lantre Bachi a zren hi ni ngbran kima wawu.

Thus the worde of the Lord was published throughout the whole countrey.

50 Ama Yahudawa ba ba chon mmba bi ninkon ndani kri gbangban ni hu'a, baba lilon bi tsro nkon wu hu ni gbu'a. Ba chon iya yo nitu Bulus mba BArnaba nda duba zuba vrarju ni ngbran kima.

But the Iewes stirred certaine deuoute and honourable women, and the chiefe men of the citie, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coastes.

51 Ama Bulus mba Barnaba ba kpon meme zamba rju du hon tumba. Mle ba hi ni gbu Iconium.

But they shooke off the dust of their feete against them, and came vnto Iconium.

52 E mri ko bi hu ba ba shuni ngyiri mba ni Ruhu Tsatsra.

And the disciples were filled with ioy, and with the holy Ghost.
