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 certain ones having come down from Judea were teaching the brethren that, Unless you may be circumcised, according to the custom of Moses, you are not able to 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 there being no small contention and disputation to Paul and Barnabas against them, they delegated Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, to go up to the apostles and elders in Jerusalem concerning 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.
Then indeed they having been sent away by the church, traveled through both Phoenicia and Samaria, relating the conversion of the Gentiles: and they continued to make 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 arriving into Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and the apostles, and the elders, and they proclaimed so many things as God did 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.”
And certain one of those from the sect of the Pharisees having believed arose up, saying that, It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.
6 Niki manzaniba baba bi ninkon ba ba zontu ki nitu duba mla kpeyi yato.
And the apostles and elders were convened to see about this problem.
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 there being much disputation, Peter, having arisen, said to them, Men, brethren, you know that from ancient days God chose among you, that the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel through my mouth, 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 knows the heart, witnessed to them, giving to them the Holy Ghost, as also to us;
9 ndana chuta ti nkan ni ba na, niwa a vu sron mba se ni toh kri gbangban.
and made 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 ye God, to put a yoke on the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11 Ama ki kpanyeme ndi ki kpachuwo nitu ya ndindi wu Bachi Yesu, na baba me.”
But through the grace of our Lord Jesus, we believe that we are saved, in the same manner in which they are 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 the whole multitude became silent, and continued to hear Barnabas and Paul, relating how many miracles and wonders God wrought among the Gentiles through 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 became silent, James responded, 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.
Symeon hath related how God in the first place interposed to take a people from the Gentiles, in His name.
15 Lantre ba anabawa a kpanyme ni kii, na wa ba nha'a.
And to this corresponds the words of the prophet; as has been 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 build again the throne of David, which has fallen down; and will build again the ruins of the same, and will set it up again:
17 ni du mbru ndji wa ba don'a, duba wato Bachi, baba wawu bi kora wa ba yo ba ni ndemu.'
in order that the residue of men may seek out the Lord, even all the Gentiles, on whom my name has been called upon them, says the Lord, who doeth 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)
known from the beginning. (aiōn g165)
19 Nitu kima, mi ban zi ndi kina ti ba ya na, baba bi kora wa ba k'ma ye ni Irji.
Therefore I judge, that we should not burden those from the Gentiles turning to God:
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 to command them to abstain from things offered to idols, and from fornication, and from strangulation, 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 from ancient generations, has those preaching him in every city, being read in the synagogues on 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 seemed good to the apostles and the elders, along with the whole church, to send men chosen from them into Antioch along with Paul and Barnabas; Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leaders 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!
having written through their hand; The apostles and elders, brethren to the brethren who are from the Gentiles throughout Antioch and 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.
Since we heard that certain ones having come out from us troubled you, disturbing your souls with words which we did not command:
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 seemed good to us, being of one accord, having chosen men to send them to you along with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
26 ndji biwa ba ban tu yo ni nkon qu nitu nde wu Bachi Yesu Kristi.
men who have imperiled 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.
Therefore we have sent Judas and Silas, themselves also proclaiming the same things by speech.
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 seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no more burden 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.
to abstain from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which keeping yourselves, you will 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.
Then indeed they, having been sent away, came down into Antioch, and convening the multitude, they delivered the letter.
31 Niwa ba bwu bla, ba ta kpe nitu nron tre wa ba kpa'a.
And having read it, they rejoiced over the consolation.
32 Juda mba Sila, wa bana anabawa ngame, nronba mri vayi ba ni lan tre gbugbuwu nda zoba kri gbangban.
Both Judas and Silas, themselves also being prophets, exhorted the brethren with elaborate speech, and strengthened 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 having spent the time, they were discharged by the brethren with peace back to the apostles who 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.
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 tarried in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, also along with many others.
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 many days Paul said to Barnabas, Having returned let us now visit the brethren in every city in which we preached the word of the Lord, how they are doing.
37 Barnaba a son ban Yohana wa ba yondi Markus, nji nha.
But Barnabas advised to take with them John, also called 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 thought that he would not take with them, him who having departed from them from Pamphylia, and not having gone along with them into the work.
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.
But there was a paroxysm, so that they parted from one another, and Barnabas, taking Mark, sailed away into 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.
And Paul, having chosen Silas, went out, committed to the grace of the Lord by the brethren;
41 Mle a zren zu ni Syria mba Cilicia ndani gbre kri gbangban ni ekklisiya ba.
and he traveled through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
