Ndu Manzaniba 13

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.

But there were in the church of Antiokia prophets and teachers, Bar Naba and Shemun who was called Niger, and Lukios who was from the city of Kyrene, and Manael, a fosterbrother of Herodes Tetrarka, and Shaol.

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.”

And as they fasted and supplicated Aloha, the Spirit of Holiness said to them, Separate to me Shaol and Bar Naba for the work to which I have called them.

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

And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid upon them the hand, and dismissed them.

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, being sent by the Spirit of Holiness, went down to Selukia, and from thence proceeded by sea to Cyprus.

5 Niwa ba he ni gbu Salamis, ba d'bu bla lantre Irji nimi ko Synagogues wu Yahudawa. Yohana ngame a he niba toh wu zoba.

And when they had entered the city Salamina, they preached the word of our Lord in the congregations of the Jihudoyee, and Juhanon ministered to them.

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.

And when they had itinerated through the whole island unto the city Paphos, they found a man, a certain sorcerer, a Jihudoya, who was a false prophet, whose name was Bar Shuma.

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.

This adhered to a wise man who was proconsul, and was called Sergius Paulos. And the proconsul called Shaol and Bar Naba and requested to hear from them the word of Aloha.

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 this sorcerer, Bar Shuma, whose name interpreted is Elymos, stood against them, because he desired to avert the proconsul from faith.

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

But Shaol, he who is called PAULOS, was filled with the Spirit of Holiness, and beheld 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 said, O full of all deceits and all wickednesses, thou son of the devil, and adversary of all righteousness, ceasest thou not to pervert the right ways 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.

And now the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, and not see the sun until the time. And in the hour there fell upon him obscurity and darkness, and he went about asking some one to hold 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.

But when the proconsul saw what had been done, he wondered, and believed in 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.

BUT Paulos and Bar Naba went on by sea from the City Paphos, and came to Perga, a city of Pamphylia; and Juhanon separated from them, and went to Urishlem.

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 they went forth from Perga, and came to Antiokia, the city of Pisidia. And they entered the synagogue, and sat on the day of shabath.

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 law and the prophets had been read, the presbyters of the synagogue sent to them, and said, Men, brethren, have you a word of exhortation to say to the people?

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

And Paulos arose, and signed with his hand, and said to them:

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.

Men, sons of Israel, and those who fear Aloha, hearken! The God of this people elected our fathers, and exalted and magnified them, when they were sojourners in the land of Metsreen, and with uplifted arm brought them out therefrom

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 he nourished them in the desert forty years.

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 destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, and gave them their land an inheritance. And four hundred and fifty years

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.

he gave them judges, until Shamuel 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.

and then prayed they for themselves a king; and Aloha gave to them Shaol-bar-Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years.

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 he took him, and raised unto them David the king, and testified of him, and said, I have found David, the son of Jeshai, a man according to my heart; he will perform all my will.

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

From the seed of this (man) the God of Israel, as he had promised, raised up Jeshu the Redeemer.

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

And he sent Juhanon to proclaim before his coming the baptism of repentance to the whole 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 while Juhanon accomplished his ministry, he said, Whom think you that I am? I am not (he), but, behold, he cometh after me, he, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to unloose.

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.

MEN, brethren, sons of the race of Abraham, and they among you who fear Aloha, unto you is sent the word of life.

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 they, the inhabitants of Urishlem and their princes, have not consented thereto, nor also to the writings of the prophets which are read on every shabath; but condemned him, and accomplished all that was written.

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

And while they found not any cause of death, they requested Pilatos that they might 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 every thing that was written concerning him, they took him from the cross, and laid him in a sepulchre.

30 Ama Irji a nzuulu rjini qu.

But Aloha raised him from among 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 he was seen days many by those who had come up with him from Galila to Urishlem, and they are now his witnesses unto the people.

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

And we also, behold, we preach to you that that promise which was made to our 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, /

behold, Aloha hath fulfilled it to their children, (in) that he hath raised up Jeshu; as it is written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son; This day have 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.

And thus did Aloha raise him from among the dead, that again he should not return thither to see corruption; as he had said, I will give you the sure grace of David.

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

And again he hath said in another place, Thou hast not given thy Saint 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.

For David in his generation served the will of Aloha, and slept, and was added to his fathers, and saw corruption.

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

But This whom Aloha raised saw no corruption.

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

Know then, brethren, that through This himself is preached to you the remission of sins;

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 all (from) which we could not by the law of Musha be justified, through This all who believe are justified.

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

Beware, then, lest there come upon you that which is written 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, despisers, and wonder, and perish: For a work I work in your days Which you will not believe if one should declare it to 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 had gone out from among them, they besought of them that the next shabath they would speak to them these words.

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.

And when the congregation was dissolved, many Jihudoyee went after them; and also the proselytes who worshipped Aloha. And they discoursed (with) and persuaded them to cleave to the grace of Aloha.

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

AND on the next shabath the whole city gathered to hear the word of Aloha.

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.

And when the Jihudoyee saw the great assemblage, they were filled with envy, and arose against the words which Paulos spake, and blasphemed.

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)

But Paulos and Bar Naba said to them openly, To you it behoved first to speak the word of Aloha; but because you repel it from you, and determine against yourselves that you are not worthy of eternal life, behold, we turn 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 our Lord commanded, as it is written, I have set thee a light to the Gentiles, To be for salvation to the ends of the earth.

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, they rejoiced and glorified Aloha; and they believed who were disposed unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)

49 Lantre Bachi a zren hi ni ngbran kima wawu.

And the word of Aloha was spoken in all that region.

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 Jihudoyee excited the principal men of the city and rich women, who with them feared Aloha, and raised a persecution against Paulos and against Bar Naba, and cast them out from their bounds.

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

And as they went forth, they shook off against them the dust of their feet; and they came to Ikanon, a city.

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

And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Spirit of Holiness.
