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.
NOW it came to pass at Iconium, that they went together into the synagogue of the Jews, and spake in such a manner, as that a vast multitude both of the Jews and Greek proselytes 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 stirred up, and maliciously prejudiced the spirits 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.
A long space therefore continued they there speaking boldly in the Lord, who bore witness to the word of his grace, and granted signs and miracles to be wrought by their hands.
4 Ama ndji bi gbu'a ba gaanyu, bari ba kri ni ngbala Yahudawa, i bari ni manzani ba.
So the multitude was divided: some indeed were with the Jews, but others 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,
And when there was a strong effort made both by the Gentiles and Jews with their rulers to ill-treat and 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,
conscious of their danger, they fled unto the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, and Derbe, and the circum-jacent country:
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 at Lystra, who having lost the use of his feet was sitting, being lame from his mother’s womb, and who had never been able to walk:
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 person heard Paul speaking; who fixing his eyes on him, and discovering that he had faith to be healed,
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 up firm on thy 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.”
But when the multitudes beheld what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, in the dialect of Lycaonia, saying, The gods in the form of mortals are come down to us.
12 Ba yo Barnaba ndi “Zeus,” mba Bulus, “Hermes,” nitu wawuyi ana ninkon wu lantre'a.
And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, because he principally led the discourse.
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, who was the presiding deity of their city, brought bulls and garlands unto the gates of the city, and intended to offer a sacrifice with the people.
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 it, they rent their garments, and rushed into the crowd, 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, Sirs, why do ye these things? We too are mortals subject to the same infirmities with you; preaching to you the gospel, that ye should turn from these vain things unto the living God, who made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things which are therein:
16 NI k'ba wa baka hiye, a du gbungblu du ba zren ni nkon kankan wu mba.
who in the past generations hath suffered all 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.
Although indeed he left not himself untestified of, doing us good, giving us from heaven showers, and fruitful seasons, replenishing our 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 thus speaking, scarce restrained they the multitudes from offering the 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 the Jews from Antioch and Iconium, and gaining over the multitudes, they stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be 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 as the disciples stood around him, he arose, and entered into the city: and on the morrow he departed with Barnabas for 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 after preaching the gospel in that city, and bringing many to become disciples, they returned to Lystra, and Iconium, and 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 brethren, exhorting them to abide firm in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must pass into the kingdom of heaven.
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.
Then appointing them presbyters in every city, by prayer with fastings they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.
24 Mle ba zrenzu ni Pisidia nda ye ri ni Pamphylia.
Then passing through Pisidia, they came unto Pamphylia.
25 Niwa ba kle bla lantre'a ni Perga, ba grji hi ni Attalia.
And having spoken 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.
and thence sailed for Antioch, from whence they had been commended to the grace of God for the service which they had performed.
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.
So when they arrived they called the church together, and related what great things God had done by them, and that he had opened to the heathen the door of faith.
28 Ba kii wu gbron nton ni ba mriko ba,
And there they abode no inconsiderable time with the disciples.
