Ndu Manzaniba 16
1 Bulus ngame aye ni Derbe mba ni Lystra, niki vrenko wu huuri wa ndema hi Timotia he, vren wa Yahudawa ri, wa a kpanyime niwu, ama tima ana ndji Greek.
And he came to Derbe and Lystra; and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess, who was a believer; but his father was a Greek.
2 Mri vayi wa bana he ni Lystra mba Iconium bata tre ndindi ni tuma.
A good report was given of him by the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.
3 Bulus ata son du zren huu ni tuki, a bau njinda gen-mbru niwu, ni du Yahudawa wa ba he ni bubu baki du ba toh, nitu bana toh ndi tima ana Greek.
This man Paul wished to go with him: and he took him and circumcised him, on account of the Jews that were in those places: for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
4 Niwa ba hu nkon si hi zu nimi gba ba, basia zren nihu nkon tsatsra wa manzani ba mba bi ninkon biwa ba he ni Urushelima ba m'ha yo duba hu.
And as they went through the cities, they delivered to them the decrees that had been resolved on by the apostles and elders at Jerusalem, that they might keep them.
5 Niki ekklisiya ba ba kpa ti ngbengblen ni kri gbangban nitu hu nkon'a nda du kri mbru mba a si hon chachu.
Therefore, the churches were established in the faith, and they increased in number daily.
6 Bulus mba bi zren niwu ba zren zu ni ngbran Phrygia mba Galatia, nitu Ruhu Tsatsra ana ti gbuchu ndi du ba na d'bu lan tre'a ni ngbran Asia na.
When they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, being forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia,
7 Niwa ba zren ye ti weiweire ni Mysia, ba yo sron zuni Bithynia, ama Ruhu Yesu a zuba.
and had come to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia; and the Spirit did not permit them.
8 Niki ba vu Mysia y'ba nda grjiye ni gbu Troas.
But having passed by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
9 Bulus a toh ni mira ni chu; ndji ri wu Macedonia a kri ki nda si bre'u nda ni tre ndi, “Ye nita ni Macedonia ni ye zota.”
And, during the night, a vision appeared to Paul. A certain man of Macedonia stood and besought him, saying: Come over to Macedonia and help us.
10 Niwa wa Bulus a hrara toki, ki krilu si wa nkon wuhi ni Macedonia, nitu ki ban ndi Irji mba yo ta du ta ki hi bla tre ndindi ni bawu.
After he had seen the vision, we immediately endeavored to go into Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.
11 Ki kuu zren hu ni nkon ma rhini Troas, ki hu trime nkon wa ani njita zu ni Samothrace, nda duta ka rhini Neapolis ni mbewa aka wu vi kima.
Therefore, setting sail from Troas, we came by a straight course to Samothracia, and, on the following day, to Neapolis,
12 Rhiniki, ki hi ni Philippi, wandi ana kikle gbu wu Macedonia, gbu wa a zan bi ni ndu wu ngbran kima mba wa aheni wo bi tuchu wu Romawa; ki ki niki wu vi wa a fon bran.
and thence to Philippi, which is the first city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony. We remained in that city some days:
13 Ni vi Sabbath (Chachu Sati), ki zren rhu ni kikle nkontra gbu'a wa a he ni kosan ba'a, bubu wa ki ban ndi ani bi wu bre. Ki kukhi ni tre ni mmba wa ba ye zontu ki'a.
and on the sabbath-day we went out of the city to the side of a river, where, as usual, was the house of prayer; and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.
14 Iwari wu nde Lydia, wa a ta le ni ikpi nklon sru, rhi ni gbu Thyatira, wa ata hu nkon Irji, a yo ton si wota. Bachi a bwu sron ma ni du mla wo kpe wa Bulus asia tre'a.
And a certain woman, named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God, heard; whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things that were spoken by Paul.
15 Niwawu mba bi koma, ba kpa batisma, nda bre ta ndi, “Bita kpanyme ni me ndi mi kri gbangban ni hu nkon Bachi, bi ka ye ni komu.” Nikima a weireta du ta kpanyme.
And when she and her household had been immersed, she besought us, saying: If you judge me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and make it your home. And she con strained us.
16 Niwa ki sia hi bubu bre, vrenwa ri wa ana gran, nda he ni brji wu toh kpe nda nran, a ye zontu nita. A ta nji nklen gbugbuwu ye ni ti ko ma nitu ndu nran wa ata ti'a.
And it came to pass, that as we were going to the house of prayer, there met us a certain maid-servant that had a spirit of Python, who brought much gain to her masters, by giving responses.
17 Iwa yi a zren si huba Bulus nda d'bu si hla ndi, “Biyi bi mri koh wu Irji wa a zan nzu hon. Ba ki bla nkon wu kpachuwo ni yiwu.”
She followed Paul and us, and cried out, saying: These men are the servants of the most High God, who show us the way of salvation.
18 Asi ti toyi wu vi gbugbuwu. Ama Bulus, nitu vrenwa a yo nfu branbran, a k'ma nda hla ni brji'a ndi, “Mi mmha'u ni nde Yesu Kristi, rju ni kpa ma.” Mle a rju ni nton kima.
And this she continued to do for many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit: I command you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.
19 Niwa bi ti koma ba toh ndi nkon kubu mba a kle, ba vu Bulus mba Sila nda gbi ba hi ni tsutsu bubu wa ba le ni kpi, niwa bi ninkon gbu ba ki'a.
And when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the market to the rulers.
20 Niwa ba nji ba ye nu bi blatre (Alkali), ba tre ndi ndji biyi ba nji iya rini kikle gbumbu. Ba Yahudawa.
And having brought them to the magistrates, they said: These men, who are Jews, do greatly trouble our city;
21 Ba bla tre njo wa ana he nitu nkon wa Romawa ba kpanyme duta hu na.
and they teach customs which it is not lawful for us, who are Romans, to receive or to observe.
22 Niki kpaandji ba lu hon wawu mba, nitu Bulus mba Sila; Alkali ba ba y'ba ba nklon mba ju nda mmha duba hloba ni kunkron j'bo.
And the multitude rose up together against them; and the magistrates stripped off their clothes, and gave command to beat them with rods.
23 Niwa ba hloba ni wo gbugbu nitu mba, ba tru ba sru ni ko wu tru nda mmha ndji wu tro'a du mla yo shishi nda na du ba gbuj'bu na.
And when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, and charged the jailer to keep them securely.
24 Hu gon kpa mmha yi, ndji wu tro'a, a tru ba sru ni tra wu komi nda vu ba za mba lo nha ni kunkron gbangban.
And having received such a charge, he put them into the inner prison, and made their feet fast in the stocks.
25 Mla tsutsu chu, Bulus mba Sila ba sia bre Irji nda ni yo se wu nzu Irji hon, i mbru biwa ba tro ba ngame'a ba sia sren ton niba.
And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sung a hymn to God; and the prisoners were listening to them.
26 Niki, kikle grju meme a lu ti, nda du nchimeme wu ko tro a grju, mlee nkon ba wawu ba bwu yo hwo, mba ba sraka wa ba lo ba niwu'a ba si hle.
And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bonds were loosed.
27 Igu wu troba'a a lu sh'me ni nna nda toh nkontra kotro ba ba bwu kri ni hwo, a gbron guglo Inji wu nduma ndani wuutuma, nitu a ban ndi biwa ba troba ba rju nawo ye.
And the jailer, being aroused from sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison open, drew his sword, and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had fled.
28 Bulus a yo gro ni kikle lan nda tre ndi, “Na ti kpame kpe na, nitu wawu mbu ki he ni wayi.”
But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying: Do yourself no harm, for we are all here.
29 Igu wu troba a yo duba nji ilu kpan njiwu, nda tsutsu ri ni tsenza kpa mba sissri nda ka kukru ni shishi Bulus mba Sila.
Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and trembling, he fell down before Paul and Silas;
30 Nda nji ba rju nda tre ndi, “Mi nuyi ninkon, mi ti ngye ni dumi kpa tumu chuwo?”
and, having brought them out, he said: Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
31 Ba tre ndi, “kpanyme ni Bachi Yesu, niki wu kpa kpachuwo, ni wu baba biwa ba he ni ko me.”
They replied: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you and your house shall be saved.
32 Ba hla lan tre wu Bachi niwu, baba ni ko nha ni mi koma.
And they spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all that were in his house.
33 Niki, igu wu tro'a a vu ba ni nton kima wu chu'a, nda ka ngla mkpan mba, niki wawu mba bi koma wawu ba ti batisma ni bawu.
And he took them at that hour of the night, and washed the blood from their stripes; and he was immersed, himself and all his, immediately.
34 Niwa a nji ba Bulus mba Sila hon hi ni koma nda ka nuba biri, a ta kpe kpukpome, ni ndji biwa ba he ni koma'a, nitu a kpanyme ni Irji.
And he brought them into his house, and set food before them, and rejoiced, believing in God, with all his house.
35 Zizan, niwa mble a nhran, alkali ba ba ton du hi ni bi gben'a, ndi “Du ndji bi mba hi kpamba.”
But when it was day, the magistrates sent the lictors, saying: Release those men.
36 Igu wu tro a vu lan tre ba bla ni Bulus mba Sila andi, “Alkali baba ton lan tre ye ni me ndi du mi du yi hi. Zizan nikima, ye rju hi yi ni si sron.”
And the jailer told these words to Paul: The magistrates have sent to release you. Now, therefore, come out, and go in peace.
37 Ama Bulus a hla bawu ndi, “Ba vuta hlo tsi ni shishi ndji, hamma ni tsra ta toh, niwa me ki mri son meme Roma, nda tru ta sru ni kotro, zizan ba son juta rju ni rhiri? A'a! Du ba ye kimba nda ye njita rju.”
But Paul said to them: Having publicly scourged us uncondemned, us who are Romans, they threw us into prison: and do they now put us out secretly? No, verily: but let them come and lead us out.
38 Bi gben ba baka vu tre biyi bla ni ba alkali ba, niwa ba wo ndi Bulus mba Sila ba mri gbungblu Roma, ikpe'a anuba sissri.
And the lictors told these words to the magistrates: and they were alarmed when they heard that they were Romans;
39 Alkali ba ba ye bre ba nda nji ba rju, nda bre du ba rju ni gbu'a hi kpamba.
and they came, and entreated them, and led them out, and requested them to depart from the city.
40 Niki, Bulus mba Sila ba rju ni ko tro'a nda ye ni ko Lydia. Niwa ba Bulus mba Sila ba to mri vayi ba, ba nhronba duba ki gbangban, nda mle, rju hi kpamba rji ni gbu'a.
And having come out of the prison, they went into the house of Lydia; and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
