Ndu Manzaniba 14
1 Aye he toki ni Iconium, wa Bulus mba Barnaba ba ri hi nimi Synagogue wu bi Yahudawa ba, nda ka tre hu ninkon wa kpaandi, ba Yahudawa baba Greeks ba kpanyeme.
And it came to pass in Iconium, that they went together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great multitude of the Jews and Greeks believed.
2 Ama Yahudawa wa ba kamba ni zren huba'a, ba chon dri bi kora ba nda duba ti nfu ni mri vayi mba.
But the unbelieving Jews excited and embittered the minds of the Gentiles against the brethren.
3 Nitu ki, ba ki niki gbron nton, ndani bla gbangban me ni gbengblen Bachi, ndani tsro ba du ba toh tre wa a ton ba wu ya ndindi. A ti toki niwa a tsro kpanyeme wa ndji ba toh ni kikle kpi waasi ti ni shishi mba, zu ni wo bulus mba Barnaba.
Therefore, they continued a long time, and spoke boldly in the Lord, who gave testimony to the word of his grace, by granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4 Ama ndji bi gbu'a ba gaanyu, bari ba kri ni ngbala Yahudawa, i bari ni manzani ba.
But the multitude of the city were divided; and some were with the Jews, and some with the apostles.
5 Wawu mba, bi kora mba Yahudawa (baba bi ninkon mba) ba wa nkon wu vu ba yo ya nda ta ba Bulus mba Barnaba ni tita,
But when there was a violent purpose on the part of the Gentiles and of the Jews, with their rulers, to outrage and to stone them,
6 ama niwa ba ble wo toki, ba tsutsu hi ni igbu bi Lycaonia, wu Lystra mba Derbe baba kaagon gran bi koki,
being aware of it, they fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and to the region round about,
7 niki ba si zren ni d'bu tre ndindi'a.
and there they preached the gospel.
8 Ni Lystra, iguri a son, hamma ni gbengblen ni zama, chon kple rhi ni nne yimma, wa ana zren to ni son ma na.
And there was a certain man in Lystra, without strength in his feet, who sat, for he was a cripple from his mother’s womb, and had never walked.
9 Iguyi a wo bulus si tre. Bulus a yo shishi ma niwu nda toh ndi a he ni sron kpanyeme nitu kpa sii kpama.
This man heard Paul speak, who, looking earnestly on him, and seeing that he had faith to be saved,
10 Niki a tre niwu ni kikle lan ndi, “Lu kri ni za me.” Mleigu'a a lu za kri nda zren kaagon.
said, with a loud voice: Stand erect upon your feet. And he leaped and walked.
11 Niwa kpaandi ba bato kpewa Bulus a ti'a, ba nzu lan ba ndani tre ni el'pa Lycaonia, “Ba rji ba ba k'ma rhu too ndji nda grji ye nita.”
When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, and said, in the Lycaonian language: The Gods have come down to us in the likeness of men.
12 Ba yo Barnaba ndi “Zeus,” mba Bulus, “Hermes,” nitu wawuyi ana ninkon wu lantre'a.
And they called Barnabas, Jupiter, and Paul, Mercury, for he was the chief speaker.
13 Priest wu irji zeus, wa koobre ma ahe ni kogon kikle gbu'a, anji kikle lando wa ba yra ni loh bre ye ni kikle nkontra gbu'a, wawu mba gbugbu ndji ba, nitu duba ye gon nton nibawu.
Then the priest of Jupiter, whose temple was before the city, having brought bulls and garlands to the entrance, intended to offer sacrifice, with the multitudes.
14 Niwa manzani ba, Bulus mba Barnaba ba wo toki, ba y'ba nklon mba nda tsutsu hi nda ka kuuyi ni mi ndji ba
But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the multitude, crying out,
15 nda ni hla ndi, “Indji-lon, nitu ngye bi ti kpi biyi? Kita ngame ki ndji, ni kpa too wumbi. Kisi bla tre ndindi ni yiwu nitu duyi k'ma gon don meme kpi ndi ye ni Irji wu sissren, wa a ti shulu, ni memee ni kpaama teku, mba wawu kpi wa bahe ni mi mba.
and saying: Men, why are you doing these things? We also are human beings, with passions like your own, and we preach the gospel to you, that you may turn from these vanities to the living God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them;
16 NI k'ba wa baka hiye, a du gbungblu du ba zren ni nkon kankan wu mba.
who, in past generations, permitted all the nations to walk in their own ways;
17 Ni kima me, ana hamma ni don wa ba bla kpewa ba to nituma na, niwa a ti kpiwu bi nda nuba mma-lu rhini shulu mba ntonlu wa niye nuyi klo biri bran; shuuni sron mba ni biri mba ngyiri kpukpome.
and yet he did not leave himself without testimony, doing good, and giving you rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.
18 Ni lantre bihi me, Bulus mba Barnaba ba mla zu ndji ba megen bubu gon nton ni bawu.
And with these words they hardly restrained the multitudes from offering sacrifice to them.
19 Ama Yahudawa bari wa ba rhini Antioch mba Iconium, ba ye kma tu ndji ba sran ni gyru bre. Ba taa Bulus ni tita nda ngbiwu rju hi ni kogon gbu'a, nda ban ni mren mba ndi a qu ye.
Then came thither, from Antioch and Iconium, Jews, who persuaded the multitudes; and having stoned Paul, they dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.
20 Ni kime, niwa mriko ba ka kri kaagon nitu ma, alu kri nda zren ri ni mi gbu'a. Ni vi wa a hu kima, a hi ni Derbe wawu'u mba Barnaba.
But while the disciples were standing around him, he arose, and went into the city. And on the next day, he departed with Barnabas to Derbe;
21 Hu gon wa baka d'bu bla tre ndindi nitu ma, ni mi gbu'a nda mriko gbugbu, ba k'ma ye ni Lystra, ni Iconium mba ni Antioch.
and when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch,
22 Ba si nron mriko ba duba kri ni sron gbangban nda yo ni bawu du ba na k'ma ya gon ni kpa nyme mba ndani tre ndi, “Abi toki duta ri ni ko Irji hu ni nkon iya
strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, that through many afflictions we mast enter the kingdom of God.
23 Niwa ba yo bi ninkon nitu mba, ni ekklisiya ba, nda bre Irji hamma ni rhikpe, ba kaba yo ni wo Bachi wa nituma yi ba kpa nyeme.
And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.
24 Mle ba zrenzu ni Pisidia nda ye ri ni Pamphylia.
And having passed through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia;
25 Niwa ba kle bla lantre'a ni Perga, ba grji hi ni Attalia.
and when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia:
26 Rhi niki ba zren zu nitu mma ka rini Antioch, ni bubu wa bana nzuba yo ni toh ti Irji wu ndu wa baka kle'u zizan.
thence they sailed to Antioch, from which place they had been commended to the grace of God, for the work which they had accomplished.
27 Niwa ba ye ri nimi Antioch, ba yo ekklisiya zi ni bubu riri, nda vubla bawu wawu kpiwa Irji a ka ti niba, mba nitu wa a bwunko wu kpa gbangban ni biwa babi kora'a.
And having come and called together the church, they reported all that God had done with them, and that he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
28 Ba kii wu gbron nton ni ba mriko ba,
And they continued a long time with the disciples.
