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 also to Derbe and to Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess which believed; but his father was a Greek.

2 Mri vayi wa bana he ni Lystra mba Iconium bata tre ndindi ni tuma.

The same was well reported of by the brethren that were at 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.

Him would Paul have to go forth with him; and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews that were in those parts: 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 on their way through the cities, they delivered them the decrees for to keep, which had been ordained of the apostles and elders that were at 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.

So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and 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.

And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden of the Holy Ghost 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.

and when they were come over against Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia; and the Spirit of Jesus suffered them not;

8 Niki ba vu Mysia y'ba nda grjiye ni gbu Troas.

and passing 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 appeared to Paul in the night; There was a man of Macedonia standing, beseeching him, and saying, Come over into 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.

And when he had seen the vision, straightway we sought to go forth into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us for to preach the gospel unto 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.

Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following 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 from thence to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the first of the district, a [Roman] colony: and we were in this city tarrying certain 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 forth without the gate by a river side, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down, and spake unto the women which were 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, one that worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, to give heed unto the things which 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 was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide [there]. 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, as we were going to the place of prayer, that a certain maid having a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain 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.”

The same following after Paul and us cried out, saying, These men are servants of the Most High God, which proclaim unto you 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 did for many days. But Paul, being sore troubled, turned and said to the spirit, I charge thee 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.

But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they laid hold on Paul and Silas, and dragged them into the marketplace before 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 when they had brought them unto the magistrates, they said, These men, being Jews, do exceedingly trouble our city,

21 Ba bla tre njo wa ana he nitu nkon wa Romawa ba kpanyme duta hu na.

and set forth customs which it is not lawful for us to receive, or to observe, 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 rent their garments off them, and commanded 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 upon them, they cast them into prison, charging 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, cast 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.

But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns unto 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-house were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened; and every one’s 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 being roused out of sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword, and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.

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 cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself 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.

And he called for lights, and sprang in, and, trembling for fear, 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 brought them out, and 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.”

And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus, and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.

32 Ba hla lan tre wu Bachi niwu, baba ni ko nha ni mi koma.

And they spake the word of the Lord unto him, with 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 the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he 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 up into his house, and set meat before them, and rejoiced greatly, with all his house, 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.”

But when it was day, the magistrates sent the serjeants, 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 reported the words to Paul, [saying], The magistrates have sent to let you go: now therefore come forth, 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 unto them, They have beaten us publicly, uncondemned, men that are Romans, and have cast us into prison; and do they now cast us out privily? nay verily; but let them come themselves and bring 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 serjeants reported these words unto the magistrates: and they feared, 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 besought them; and when they had brought them out, they asked them to go away 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 went out of the prison, and entered into [the house of] Lydia: and when they had seen the brethren, they comforted them, and departed.
