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 together entered into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake that there believed, both of Jews and Greeks, a great throng.
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 unpersuaded Jews, roused up and provoked the souls of them of the nations 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 good while, therefore, tarried they, using boldness of speech [in dependence] upon the Lord, who was bearing witness unto his word of favour, granting signs and wonders to be coming to pass through their hands.
4 Ama ndji bi gbu'a ba gaanyu, bari ba kri ni ngbala Yahudawa, i bari ni manzani ba.
And the throng of the city was divided; and some indeed were with the Jews, while some were 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 took place an assault both of them of the nations and of the Jews, with their rulers, to maltreat 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,
They became aware of it, and fled unto the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the surrounding country;
7 niki ba si zren ni d'bu tre ndindi'a.
And, there, were they announcing the glad tidings.
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, a certain man in Lystra, impotent in his feet, was sitting, —lame from his mother’s womb, who never had 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, hearkened unto Paul, as he was speaking, —who, looking steadfastly at him, and seeing he had faith to be made well,
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 on thy feet, erect! And he sprang up, and began to walk 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 multitudes, seeing what Paul had done, lifted up their voice, in the speech of Lycaonia—The gods, made like unto men, have come down unto us!
12 Ba yo Barnaba ndi “Zeus,” mba Bulus, “Hermes,” nitu wawuyi ana ninkon wu lantre'a.
And they went on to call Barnabas, Jupiter, and Paul, Mercury, seeing that, he, was the leader of 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.
Also, the priest of the Jupiter that was before the city, bringing bulls and garlands unto the gates, with the multitudes, would have offered sacrifice.
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 the apostles Barnabas and Paul, hearing of it, rending asunder their own mantles, sprang forward amidst the multitude, crying aloud,
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, these things, are ye doing? We also, of like nature with you, are men, bringing you the good news, that from these vain things, ye should be turning unto a living God: —Who made heaven and the earth and the sea and all things therein;
16 NI k'ba wa baka hiye, a du gbungblu du ba zren ni nkon kankan wu mba.
Who in the bygone generations suffered all the nations to be going on 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, not without witness, he left himself, doing good, from heaven, upon you, giving rain and fruitful seasons, filling, with food and gladness, your hearts.
18 Ni lantre bihi me, Bulus mba Barnaba ba mla zu ndji ba megen bubu gon nton ni bawu.
Even these things, saying, scarcely restrained they the multitudes from offering sacrifice unto 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.
But there came thither, from Antioch and Iconium, Jews, and, persuading the multitudes, and stoning Paul, they dragged him outside 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.
Howbeit, the disciples surrounding him, he rose up, and entered into the city. And, on the morrow, he went forth, with Barnabas, unto 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.
Delivering the good news unto that city also, and making a good number of disciples, they returned unto Lystra, and unto Iconium, and unto 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
confirming the souls of the disciples, beseeching them to abide in the faith, and [declaring] that, through many tribulations, must we enter into 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.
Moreover, appointing unto them by vote, in each assembly, elders, praying with fastings, they commended them unto the Lord on whom they had believed.
24 Mle ba zrenzu ni Pisidia nda ye ri ni Pamphylia.
And, passing through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia;
25 Niwa ba kle bla lantre'a ni Perga, ba grji hi ni Attalia.
and, speaking in Perga the word, they came down unto 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, from thence, they set sail for Antioch, whence they had been given up unto the favour of God for the work which they had fulfilled.
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, when they had arrived and gathered together the assembly, they began recounting how many things God had done with them, and that he had opened, unto the nations, a door of faith.
28 Ba kii wu gbron nton ni ba mriko ba,
And they spent no little time with the disciples.
