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.
But some men came down from Judea and attempted to teach the brethren, saying, "Unless you are circumcised according to Moses’ custom, 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.
Now when dispute and controversy sprang up between them and Paul and Barnabas, the brethren appointed Paul and Barnabas, and certain others, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders 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.
So the church saw them off on their journey, and they passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria. Here they set forth the conversion of the Gentiles, and brought great joy to all the brothers.
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.
Upon their arrival in Jerusalem they were received by the church and the apostles and elders, and they told them all things that 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 certain men who had belonged to the sect of the Pharisees, but were now believers, stood up and said, "It is necessary to circumcise Gentile, and to order them to keep the Law of Moses."
6 Niki manzaniba baba bi ninkon ba ba zontu ki nitu duba mla kpeyi yato.
The apostles and elders met to consider the 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 after there had been a long discussion, Peter rose and said. "Brothers, you know how a good while ago God made choice among you, that from my lips the Gentiles were to hear the message 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 knows the hearts of all, gave this testimony in their behalf, by bestowing upon them the Holy Spirit just as he did upon us;
9 ndana chuta ti nkan ni ba na, niwa a vu sron mba se ni toh kri gbangban.
"and he made no distinction between us and them, in cleansing 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 then, why are you tempting God by laying on the necks of these disciples a yoke which neither our forefathers nor we have been able to bear?
11 Ama ki kpanyeme ndi ki kpachuwo nitu ya ndindi wu Bachi Yesu, na baba me.”
"On the contrary we believe that it is by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ that we and they shall be saved."
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.
Then the whole assembly remained silent, and listened to Barnabas and Saul as they told the signs and wonders which God had 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.
When they had finished speaking, James said.
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.
"Brothers, listen to me. Symeon has told how God first looked graciously upon the Gentiles, to take out from among them a people to be called by his name.
15 Lantre ba anabawa a kpanyme ni kii, na wa ba nha'a.
"And this is in harmony with the language of the prophets, which says.
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 I will rebuild David’s fallen tent; And I will build again its ruins, 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.'
"So that the rest of men may seek after the Lord, Even all the Gentiles, who are called by my name,
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)
"Says the Lord, who has been making this 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.
"My judgment therefore, is against troubling those who turn to God from among the Gentiles;
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 should write to them to abstain from the pollution of idols and from fornication, from meat killed by strangling, 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 the earliest times has had his preachers in every town where he is read aloud, Sabbath after Sabbath, in the synagogues."
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, together with the whole church, to select some of their number, and to send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. The men chosen were Judas called Bar- Sabbas, and Silas, leading 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!
They took with them the following letter. "The apostles and older brothers send greeting to the Gentile Brotherhood throughout Antioch and Syria and Cilicia;
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.
"as we have heard that some of your number who went out from us have troubled you with words and upset your souls, without having received any such instruction from us;
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,
"we have unanimously decided to select certain men, and to send them to you 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 risked their very 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.
"So we have sent Judas and Silas to tell you the same things by word of mouth.
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 has seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us, to lay upon you no greater 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.
"that you abstain from food that has been sacrificed to idols, and from tasting blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication. Keep yourselves clear from these things and it will be well with you. Farewell."
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.
So they, when they had been despatched, went down to Antioch, and after gathering the whole multitude together, they handed them the letter,
31 Niwa ba bwu bla, ba ta kpe nitu nron tre wa ba kpa'a.
and when they had read it they rejoiced at the comfort it brought.
32 Juda mba Sila, wa bana anabawa ngame, nronba mri vayi ba ni lan tre gbugbuwu nda zoba kri gbangban.
And Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, encouraged and strengthened the brothers with many a good counsel.
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.
After spending some time there the brothers let them go with a greeting of peace to those who 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.
Silas, however, stayed with them.
35 Ama Bulus mba Barnaba ba kii ni Antioch ndani tsro nda ni bla (baba gbugbu bari) lan tre wu Bachi.
Paul and Barnabas also stayed in Antioch teaching and proclaiming the word of the Lord, in company with 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 some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let is go back and visit the brothers in every city in which we have proclaimed the word of the Lord. Let us see how they fare."
37 Barnaba a son ban Yohana wa ba yondi Markus, nji nha.
Now Barnabas wanted to take with them John, who was 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 it unwise to take with them one who had deserted them to the Pamphylia, and had not gone on with them to 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.
So there arose a sharp irritation, so that they parted company; Barnabas taking Mark with him, sailed away 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.
while Paul chose Silas, and set forth commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
41 Mle a zren zu ni Syria mba Cilicia ndani gbre kri gbangban ni ekklisiya ba.
He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
