Ndu Manzaniba 15
1 Indji bari ba grji rji ni Judiya ye ni Antioch nda ye bla tsro ni mri vayi ba ndi, “Bi tina duba han mbru ni yiwu hu njo tre Musa na, bina kpa chuchuwo na.
And some coming down from Judea, taught the brethren: That except you be circumcised after the manner of Moses, you cannot be saved.
2 Kpeyi a vu tu Bulus mba Barnaba zon ti nkan nda duba kri senyu ni ba. Niki, Bulus mba Barnaba, baba bari ni mi mba, ba chuba ndi duba hon hi ni Urushelima nda yi son ni ba manzani baba bi ninkon ba nitu duba tu tre'a.
And when Paul and Barnabas had no small contest with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of the other side, should go up to the apostles and priests to Jerusalem about this question.
3 Nitu ki, niwa ekklisiya a ton ba'a, ba zren zu ni Phoenicia mba Samaria, nda si bwu bla sran sron wa bi kora'a ba kpa'a. Ba nji ngyiri kpukpome ye ni mri vayi ba.
They therefore being brought on their way by the church, passed through Phenice, and Samaria, relating the conversion of the Gentiles; and they caused great joy to all the brethren.
4 Niwa ba ye rini Urushelima, ekklisiya mba manzaniba baba bi ninkon ba ba kpaba ni wo ha, i baka vu kpi wa Irji a ti bawu'a bla ni bawu.
And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and by the apostles and ancients, declaring how great things God had done with them.
5 Ama ndji bari, ni mi biwa ba kpanyeme'a, wa bahe ni mi grji bi Pharisee, ba lu kri nda tre ndi, “Ani kpe wuti ni duba vu ba han mbru nda yo tre gbangban ni bawu duba hu tre doka Musa.”
But there arose some of the sect of the Pharisees that believed, saying: They must be circumcised, and be commanded to observe the law of Moses.
6 Niki manzaniba baba bi ninkon ba ba zontu ki nitu duba mla kpeyi yato.
And the apostles and ancients assembled to consider of this matter.
7 Hu gon sen nyu ni kpamba, Bitrus a lu kri nda tre niba ndi, mri vayi, bito ndi, ni nton ndindi wa aka hi ye'a, Irji a chu ni mi mbi, nitu ni nyu mu, Bi kora ba duba wo lantre wu tre ndindi'a, nda kpanyeme.
And when there had been much disputing, Peter, rising up, said to them: Men, brethren, you know, that in former days God made choice among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
8 Irji, wa ato dri'a a mla bla ni bawu niwa a nuba Ruhu Tsatsra, toh waa ati nitawu;
And God, who knoweth the hearts, gave testimony, giving unto them the Holy Ghost, as well as to us;
9 ndana chuta ti nkan ni ba na, niwa a vu sron mba se ni toh kri gbangban.
And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
10 Zizan nitu ki, ahi ngye duyi ni tsra Irji, niwa bi klo ilo wu ya nitu nkanto wu bi hu'a wa ba timbu, ni kita kina mla to ba nji na'a?
Now therefore, why tempt you God to put a yoke upon the necks of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?
11 Ama ki kpanyeme ndi ki kpachuwo nitu ya ndindi wu Bachi Yesu, na baba me.”
But by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, in like manner as they also.
12 Kpaandji ba wawu ba ki ni gbangbi niwa ba si sren ton ni ndu wu bwu ya mba wu kanyu yo ni w'ho wa Barnaba mba Bulus ba vu si bla nitu wa Irji a ti ndu ni mi Bi kora'a, zuni wo mba.
And all the multitude held their peace; and they heard Barnabas and Paul telling what great signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
13 Hu gon wa ba tre kle'a, Yakubu a saa nda ni tre ndi, “Mri vayi, yo ton ndi wome.
And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying: Men, brethren, hear me.
14 Siman a hla yiwu niwa Irji ni ya ndindi ma ni mumla azo bi kora'a nitu du ban rhi ni ba, ndji wu ndema.
Simon hath related how God first visited to take of the Gentiles a people to his name.
15 Lantre ba anabawa a kpanyme ni kii, na wa ba nha'a.
And to this agree the words of the prophets, as it is written:
16 Hu gon kpi biyi, mi k'ma ye, mba miye mme ngari, ko wu zontu ni Irji wu Dauda, wa a zilhe ye; Mi nzu sazi, ni du wron meme ma du k'ma ye to ana he,
After these things I will return, and will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and the ruins thereof I will rebuild, and I will set it up:
17 ni du mbru ndji wa ba don'a, duba wato Bachi, baba wawu bi kora wa ba yo ba ni ndemu.'
That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all nations upon whom my name is invoked, saith the Lord, who doth these things.
18 Ikpe yi yi Bachi a tre ndi, A nhati kpi biyi wa bato rhi ni sen'a? / Nk'ma vunvu wu Greek bi sen wa ba he ni tu tre wandi a nkan / Ikpe yiyi wa Bachi a tre, ni tuma yi, ba toh wawu kpi wa ba ti nisen. (aiōn g165)
To the Lord was his own work known from the beginning of the world. (aiōn g165)
19 Nitu kima, mi ban zi ndi kina ti ba ya na, baba bi kora wa ba k'ma ye ni Irji.
For which cause I judge that they, who from among the Gentiles are converted to God, are not to be disquieted.
20 Ama ki nhahi ni bawu ndi a tre wa s tsra, duba chukpa mba ti nkan ni kpa ti meme gunki, wrhuni hu mba mba ni nn'ma wa ba wuu ba ndwuto, mba rhini iyi.
But that we write unto them, that they refrain themselves from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
21 Nitu Musa, ba d'buhla ni gbu nkankan, rhini k'ba bi sen, a ye ni zizan wa basi bla nimi Synagogue chachu ni vi Sabbath.”
For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him in the synagogues, where he is read every sabbath.
22 Niki a bi ya ni manzaniba baba bi ninkon ba, mba ekklisiya wawu, duba chu Juda wa ba yo ndi Barsabbas, mba Sila, wa bana bi ninkon wu bi vayi ba, nda ton ba hi ni Antioch baba Bulus mba BArnaba.
Then it pleased the apostles and ancients, with the whole church, to choose men of their own company, and to send to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas, who was surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren.
23 Nha zuni wo mba, “Rhini manzani baba bi ninkon ba, mri vayi mbi, hini mri vayi bi kora nimi Antioch, Syria mba Cilicia ki chi yi!
Writing by their hands: The apostles and ancients, brethren, to the brethren of the Gentiles that are at Antioch, and in Syria and Cilicia, greeting.
24 Nitu ki wo ndi ndji bari ba rhunita hama ni kpanyime mbu, nda ka si chonyi ni lan tre wa a kpa sron mbi ti meme'a.
Forasmuch as we have heard, that some going out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls; to whom we gave no commandment:
25 A bi ya nitawu, wa ki k'ma sron mbu yo ni bubu riri, ndi chu ndji biyi wa ki tonba ye ni yi baba mri vayi bi mlason mbu, Barnaba mba Bulus,
It hath seemed good to us, being assembled together, to choose out men, and to send them unto you, with our well beloved Barnabas and Paul:
26 ndji biwa ba ban tu yo ni nkon qu nitu nde wu Bachi Yesu Kristi.
Men that have given their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Nitu ki, ki ton Juda mba Sila, Wa ba vu bla ni yiwu, kpi biyi ngame ni lantre mba.
We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves also will, by word of mouth, tell you the same things.
28 Nitu a ya bi ni Ruhu Tsatsra mba ni tawu, du kina la ban ndu ya sa nha nitu mbi zan wa a he toki ye:
For it hath seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us, to lay no further burden upon you than these necessary things:
29 ndi du yi chuwo rjuni kpi wa ba ton ni brji, ni iyi, kpi wa ba wuu ni ndwu to, mba rhini latre wamba ko lilon. Bita chu kpambi wru ni kpi biyi, zren ni bi yiwu. gbuchu.
That you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which things keeping yourselves, you shall do well. Fare ye well.
30 Niki, niwa ba kle nda yo ba ninkon, ba zren grji hi ni Antioch, hu gon wa ba vu gbu ndji ba zontu zi bubu riri, ba ka vunvu wa ba nha bawu nuba.
They therefore being dismissed, went down to Antioch; and gathering together the multitude, delivered the epistle.
31 Niwa ba bwu bla, ba ta kpe nitu nron tre wa ba kpa'a.
Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
32 Juda mba Sila, wa bana anabawa ngame, nronba mri vayi ba ni lan tre gbugbuwu nda zoba kri gbangban.
But Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, with many words comforted the brethren, and confirmed them.
33 Hu gon wa ba fon ki niki, ba tru ba hi ni si sran rhini mri vayi ba hi ni biwa bana ton ba'a.
And after they had spent some time there, they were let go with peace by the brethren, unto them that had sent them.
34 Vunvu wu bi zan, bi son bana he ni nklan 34 na (Ya Ndu Man.15:40). Ama a toh bi du Sila du k'ma son niki.
But it seemed good unto Silas to remain there; and Judas alone departed to Jerusalem.
35 Ama Bulus mba Barnaba ba kii ni Antioch ndani tsro nda ni bla (baba gbugbu bari) lan tre wu Bachi.
And Paul and Barnabas continued at Antioch, teaching and preaching, with many others, the word of the Lord.
36 Hu gon vi bari, Bulus a hla ni Barnaba, “Ki k'ma hi zizan ni ki hi tsri ni mri vayi bi gbu wa kina ka d'bu hla lantre Bachi, niki toh ka ba heni ha.”
And after some days, Paul said to Barnabas: Let us return and visit our brethren in all the cities wherein we have preached the word of the Lord, to see how they do.
37 Barnaba a son ban Yohana wa ba yondi Markus, nji nha.
And Barnabas would have taken with them John also, that was surnamed Mark;
38 Ama Bulus a rhimren ndi ana bi du ba ban Markus na, waa ana kaa ba don ni Pamphylia nda na la huba ni ndu'a na.
But Paul desired that he (as having departed from them out of Pamphylia, and not gone with them to the work) might not be received.
39 Niki, kikle sen nyu a gaaba nda du ba hu nkon nkankan ni kpamba, i Barnaba a ban Markus hu ni kpama, nda dran rju hi ni Cyprus.
And there arose a dissension, so that they departed one from another; and Barnabas indeed taking Mark, sailed to Cyprus.
40 Ama Bulus a chu Sila nda rju kunkon hi, hu wa mri vayi ba ba vu ba sru ni nji ndindi wu Bachi.
But Paul choosing Silas, departed, being delivered by the brethren to the grace of God.
41 Mle a zren zu ni Syria mba Cilicia ndani gbre kri gbangban ni ekklisiya ba.
And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches, commanding them to keep the precepts of the apostles and the ancients.
