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, by name Timotheus, son of a certain woman, a believing Jewess, but of a father, a Greek,
2 Mri vayi wa bana he ni Lystra mba Iconium bata tre ndindi ni tuma.
who was well testified to by the brothers 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.
Paul wished this one to go forth with him, and having taken [him], he circumcised him, because of the Jews who are in those places, for they all knew his father—that he 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 were going on through the cities, they were delivering to them the decrees to keep, that have been judged by the apostles and the elders who [are] in Jerusalem,
5 Niki ekklisiya ba ba kpa ti ngbengblen ni kri gbangban nitu hu nkon'a nda du kri mbru mba a si hon chachu.
then, indeed, were the assemblies established in the faith, and were abounding in number every day;
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.
and having gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,
7 Niwa ba zren ye ti weiweire ni Mysia, ba yo sron zuni Bithynia, ama Ruhu Yesu a zuba.
having gone toward Mysia, they were trying to go on toward Bithynia, and the Spirit did not permit them,
8 Niki ba vu Mysia y'ba nda grjiye ni gbu Troas.
and 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 a vision through the night appeared to Paul—a certain man of Macedonia was standing, calling on him, and saying, “Having passed through to Macedonia, 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.
And when he saw the vision, immediately we endeavored to go forth to Macedonia, assuredly gathering that the LORD has called us to preach good news 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.
having set sail, therefore, from Troas, we came with a straight course to Samothracia, on the next day also 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.
there also to Philippi, which is a principal city of the part of Macedonia—a colony. And we were abiding in this 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.
on the day of the Sabbaths we also went forth outside of the city, by a river, where there used to be prayer, and having sat down, we were speaking to the women who came 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, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, worshiping God, was hearing, whose heart the LORD opened to attend to the things 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 was immersed, and her household, she called on us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the LORD, having entered into my house, remain”; and she constrained 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 in our going on to prayer, a certain maid, having a spirit of Python, met us, who brought much employment to her masters by soothsaying;
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 having followed Paul and us, was crying, saying, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who declare to 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 was doing for many days, but Paul having been grieved, and having turned, said to the spirit, “I command you, in the Name of Jesus Christ, to come forth from her”; and it came forth the same 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 her masters having seen that the hope of their employment was gone, having caught Paul and Silas, drew [them] into the marketplace, 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 being Jews exceedingly trouble our city;
21 Ba bla tre njo wa ana he nitu nkon wa Romawa ba kpanyme duta hu na.
and they proclaim customs that are not lawful for us to receive nor to do, being Romans.”
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 having torn their garments from them, were commanding 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.
having also laid on them many blows, they cast them into prison, having given charge to the jailor to keep them safely,
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.
who having received such a charge, put them into the inner prison, and fastened their feet 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 praying, were singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were hearing 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 a great earthquake came, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken, also all the doors were immediately opened, and of all—the bands 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 jailor having come out of sleep, and having seen the doors of the prison open, having drawn a sword, was about to kill himself, supposing the prisoners to have fled,
28 Bulus a yo gro ni kikle lan nda tre ndi, “Na ti kpame kpe na, nitu wawu mbu ki he ni wayi.”
and Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, “You may not do yourself any 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.
And having asked for a light, he sprang in, and he fell down before Paul and Silas trembling,
30 Nda nji ba rju nda tre ndi, “Mi nuyi ninkon, mi ti ngye ni dumi kpa tumu chuwo?”
and having brought them forth, said, “Lords, what must I do that I may be saved?”
31 Ba tre ndi, “kpanyme ni Bachi Yesu, niki wu kpa kpachuwo, ni wu baba biwa ba he ni ko me.”
And they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved—you and your household.”
32 Ba hla lan tre wu Bachi niwu, baba ni ko nha ni mi koma.
And they spoke to him the word of the LORD, and to all those in his household;
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 having taken them, in that hour of the night, he bathed [them] from the blows, and immediately he and all of his were immersed,
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.
having also brought them into his house, he set food before [them], and was glad with all the household, he having believed in God.
35 Zizan, niwa mble a nhran, alkali ba ba ton du hi ni bi gben'a, ndi “Du ndji bi mba hi kpamba.”
And day having come, the magistrates sent the rod-bearers, saying, “Let those men go”;
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 jailor told these words to Paul, “The magistrates have sent, that you may be let go; now, therefore, having gone forth go on 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.”
and Paul said to them, “Having beaten us publicly uncondemned—men, being Romans—they cast [us] to prison, and now privately they cast us forth! Why no! But having come themselves, let them bring us forth.”
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 rod-bearers told these sayings to the magistrates, and they were afraid, having heard that they are Romans,
39 Alkali ba ba ye bre ba nda nji ba rju, nda bre du ba rju ni gbu'a hi kpamba.
and having come, they implored them, and having brought [them] forth, they were asking [them] to go forth 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 they, having gone forth out of the prison, entered into [the house of] Lydia, and having seen the brothers, they comforted them, and went forth.
