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 men came down from Judaea, and taught the brethren, that unless ye be circumcised, in accordance with the rite of the law, ye cannot have life.
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 Paul and Barnabas had much trouble and disputation with them. And it resulted, that Paul and Barnabas, and others with them, went up to the legates and Elders at Jerusalem, because of this matter.
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.
And the church waited on them, and sent them away; and they travelled through all Phenicia and the territory of the Samaritans, narrating the conversion of the Gentiles, and causing 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 came to Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and by the Elders, and by the legates; and they recounted all that God had wrought by 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 some who from the sect of the Pharisees had believed, rose up and said: It is necessary for you to circumcise them, and to command them to observe the law of Moses.
6 Niki manzaniba baba bi ninkon ba ba zontu ki nitu duba mla kpeyi yato.
And the legates and Elders assembled, to look into 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 discussion, Simon arose and said to them: Men, brethren, ye know that, from the earlier days, God chose that from my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and should 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 what is in hearts, bore testimony concerning them, and gave the Holy Spirit to them, even as to 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 them and us; because he purified 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?
And now, why tempt ye God, by putting a yoke on the necks of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we could bear?
11 Ama ki kpanyeme ndi ki kpachuwo nitu ya ndindi wu Bachi Yesu, na baba me.”
But we believe, that we as well as they, are to have life by the grace of our Lord Jesus Messiah.
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 assembly were silent, and listened to Paul and Barnabas, who related how God by their hands had wrought signs and prodigies among the Gentiles.
13 Hu gon wa ba tre kle'a, Yakubu a saa nda ni tre ndi, “Mri vayi, yo ton ndi wome.
And after they ceased, James arose and said: Men, brethren, hearken to 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 to you, how God hath begun to elect a people for his name from among the Gentiles.
15 Lantre ba anabawa a kpanyme ni kii, na wa ba nha'a.
And with this the words of the prophets accord, 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 set up the tabernacle of David that had fallen; and will build that which was in ruins in it, and will raise 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 residue of men may seek the Lord, and all the nations on whom my name is called; saith the Lord, who doth all 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 of old, are the works of God. (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 say to you, let them not crush those who from among the Gentiles have turned unto 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 let word be sent to them, that they keep aloof from the defilement of a sacrifice to idols, and from whoredom, and from what is 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 in every city, from former ages, Moses hath heralds in the synagogues, who read him 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 the legates and Elders, with all the church, chose men from among themselves, and sent them to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas; namely, Jude, who was called Barsabas, and Silas, men who were chiefs 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!
And they wrote a letter by them, thus: The legates and Elders and brethren, to them that are in Antioch, and in Syria, and in Cilicia, brethren who are from the Gentiles, 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.
We have heard, that some have gone from us and disquieted you, by discourses, and have subverted your minds, by saying, That ye must be circumcised and keep the law; things which we have not commanded them.
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,
Therefore we all have thought fit, when assembled, to choose and send men to you, with our beloved Paul and Barnabas,
26 ndji biwa ba ban tu yo ni nkon qu nitu nde wu Bachi Yesu Kristi.
men who have given up their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah.
27 Nitu ki, ki ton Juda mba Sila, Wa ba vu bla ni yiwu, kpi biyi ngame ni lantre mba.
And we have sent with them Jude and Silas, that they may tell you the same things orally.
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 was pleasing to the Holy Spirit, and to us, that there should not be laid upon you any additional burden, besides 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 ye keep aloof from a sacrifice to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from whoredom. And if ye keep yourselves from these, ye will do well. Be ye steadfast in the Lord.
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.
And they who were sent, came to Antioch, and assembled all the people, and delivered 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 and were comforted.
32 Juda mba Sila, wa bana anabawa ngame, nronba mri vayi ba ni lan tre gbugbuwu nda zoba kri gbangban.
And with abundant discourse they strengthened the brethren; and the associates of Jude and Silas established them, because they also were prophets.
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 when, they had been there some time, the brethren dismissed them in peace to the legates.
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 was the pleasure of Silas to remain there.
35 Ama Bulus mba Barnaba ba kii ni Antioch ndani tsro nda ni bla (baba gbugbu bari) lan tre wu Bachi.
Paul also and Barnabas remained at Antioch; and they taught and proclaimed, with many others, the word of God.
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 the brethren in every city, in which we have preached the word of God; and let us see what they are doing.
37 Barnaba a son ban Yohana wa ba yondi Markus, nji nha.
And Barnabas was disposed to take John, who 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 was not willing to take him with them; because he left them when they were in Pamphylia, and went not with them.
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.
In, consequence of this strife, they separated from each other: and Barnabas took Mark, and they travelled by sea and went 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 chose Silas for his companion, and departed, being commended 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 travelled through Syria, and through Cilicia, and strengthened the churches.
