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.
The same thing occurred in Iconium, where Paul and Barnabas went into the Jewish synagogue, and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed in Christ.
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 Jews who refused to believe stirred up the Gentiles, and poisoned their minds against the Lord’s followers.
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 Paul and Barnabas spent a long time there, and spoke out fearlessly, relying on the Lord, who confirmed the message of his love by permitting signs and wonders to take place at their hands.
4 Ama ndji bi gbu'a ba gaanyu, bari ba kri ni ngbala Yahudawa, i bari ni manzani ba.
But the townspeople were divided, some siding with the Jews, 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,
and, when there was an attempt on the part of both Gentiles and Jews, with their leaders, to resort to violence 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,
the apostles heard of it, and took refuge in Lystra and Derbe, towns in Lycaonia, and in the district around,
7 niki ba si zren ni d'bu tre ndindi'a.
and there they continued to tell the good news.
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.
In the streets of Lystra there used to sit a man who had no power in his feet; he had been lame from his birth, 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 was listening to Paul speaking, when Paul, looking intently at him, and seeing that he had the 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 loudly, “Stand upright on your feet.” The man leaped up, and began walking about,
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.”
and the crowd, seeing what Paul had done, called out in the Lycaonian language, “The Gods have come down to us in human form.”
12 Ba yo Barnaba ndi “Zeus,” mba Bulus, “Hermes,” nitu wawuyi ana ninkon wu lantre'a.
So they called Barnabas ‘Zeus,’ and Paul ‘Hermes,’ because he took the lead in speaking;
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.
and the priest of Zeus-beyond-the-Walls, accompanied by the crowd, brought bullocks and garlands to the gates, with the intention of offering sacrifices.
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 tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd. “Friends, why are you doing this?” they shouted.
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.
“We are only people like yourselves, and we have come with the good news that you should turn away from these follies to a living God, who made the heavens, the earth, the sea, and everything that is in them.
16 NI k'ba wa baka hiye, a du gbungblu du ba zren ni nkon kankan wu mba.
In bygone times he permitted all the nations to go 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.
Yet he has not failed to give you, in the good he does, some revelation of himself – sending you from heaven rain and fruitful seasons, and gladdening your hearts with plenty and good cheer.”
18 Ni lantre bihi me, Bulus mba Barnaba ba mla zu ndji ba megen bubu gon nton ni bawu.
Even with this appeal they could hardly restrain the people 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.
Presently, however, there came some Jews from Antioch, and Iconium who, after they had won over the people, stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the town, thinking 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, when the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the town; the next day he went 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.
After telling the good news throughout that town, and making a number of converts, they returned to Lystra, 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
reassuring the minds of the disciples, urging them to remain true to the faith, and showing that it is only through many troubles that we can 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.
They also appointed elders for them in every church, and, after prayer and fasting, commended them to the Lord in whom they had learned to believe.
24 Mle ba zrenzu ni Pisidia nda ye ri ni Pamphylia.
Paul and Barnabas then went through Pisidia, and came into Pamphylia,
25 Niwa ba kle bla lantre'a ni Perga, ba grji hi ni Attalia.
and, after telling the message at Perga, went down to Attaleia.
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.
From there they sailed to Antioch – the place where they had been committed to the gracious care of God for the work which they had now finished.
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.
After their arrival, they gathered the church together, and gave an account of all that God had helped them to do, and especially how he had opened to the Gentiles the door of faith;
28 Ba kii wu gbron nton ni ba mriko ba,
and at Antioch they stayed with the disciples for a considerable time.
