Ndu Manzaniba 2
1 Niwa ivi pentacos a ye, bana ki ni bubu riri wawumbawu.
When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together with one purpose.
2 Mle, kikle gyungyu ri, rhi ni shulu, a lu fu grji ye ka ko wa bana ki nima'a.
And suddenly a roar came out of the sky, like the rushing of a violent wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 Elem to ilu kri ku gason nitu mba ni yiyri.
Fiery tongues appeared and were distributed to them, and it [a tongue] landed on each one of them.
4 Ruhu Tsatsra a ri shu ku ni ko aha mba, e ba lu kri ku tre ni leme kankan, wa ruhu a tsro ba.
And they were all filled with Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages, as the Spirit was granting to them to speak out.
5 Ni kima, Yahudawa bi hu nkon Irjhi, rhi ni gbu gbungblu kankan ni meme, bana he ni Urishilima.
Now there were devout men, Jews, from every nation under heaven, dwelling in Jerusalem.
6 Niwa baa wo langyungyua, akpa ba rhikice u ba ye bubu riri ikpea a kpa ba tsi shishi, nitu ko nha asi wo ba ni lan tre gbumma
So when that roar occurred, the crowd came together, and was bewildered, because each one was hearing them speaking to him in his own dialect.
7 Kpe a k'ma nuba sisiri ni mre; i ba tre ndi, “E biyi wawumba, bi si trea, bana ndhi bi Galilee na?
So they were amazed and marveled, saying to one another: “Hey, aren't all these who are speaking Galileans?
8 A ngye ti du ta niwo ba ni lan tre gbunbu, lan wa ba grjita niwa a?
So how can each of us be hearing our own dialect in which we were born?
9 Parthians mba medes mba Elamites mba biwa ba ki ni mesopotamia, ni Judea mba Cappodia, wu Pontus mba Asia.
Parthians and Medes and Elamites; those dwelling in Mesopotamia, in Judea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia,
10 Phrygia mba Pamphylia, ni Egypt mba mbru bubu bi Libya hi ni Cyrene, mba Bitsri wa ba rhi ni Rome.
in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene; and visitors from Rome—both Jews and proselytes—
11 Yahudawa baba biwa ba kpa hu irjhi wu Yaudawa ba, Cretans baba larabawa, ki wo ba si tre ni lan mbu nitu kikle ndu Irjhi.
Cretans and Arabians; we hear them declaring the great works of God in our own languages.”
12 A nuba rhimre ni sisiri i ba tre ni kpa mba ndi, “A hi ngye to yi?”
Yes they were all amazed and perplexed, saying one to another, “Whatever is going on?”
13 Bari banza ba nda tre ndi, “Basi huwa hi sa.”
But different ones were jeering, saying, “They are full of sweet wine!”
14 E bitrus a lu kri nimi wlon donri mba, nda nzu lan nda tre gbangban me niba ndi, ndhi lilon be gbu Judea, baba ndhi wawu'u biwa, bi ki ni Urishilima, sren to ni lan tre mu nidu yi mlaa toh.
So Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and proclaimed to them: “Men—Jews and all who are dwelling in Jerusalem—let this be known to you; indeed, listen to my speech!
15 Ndhi biyi bana si hwu na wa bi ban na, zizan ni ton wu tra wu hwumble genri.
Because these are not drunk, as you suppose (since it is only the third hour of the day),
16 Kpe yi a tsra ni tre anabi Joel;
but this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 Ani he vi bi kle kle, Irjhi a tre, “Mi vra ruhumu nitu rima ndhi wawu. Mri mbi lilon baba mrimba ba rira ikpi bi ye ni ko shishi mri nzembi ba to ko waayi e bi chiche mbi hra ra nitu ra.
‘It will be in the last days, says God: I will pour out from my Spirit upon all flesh; your sons and your daughters will prophesy; your young men will see visions; your old men will dream a dream.
18 Jaji bi ndu mu, lilon baba mba, mi buwa ba ni ruhu mu u ba nra kpi biye ni ko shishi.
In those days I will indeed pour out from my Spirit upon my male slaves and upon my female slaves, and they will prophesy.
19 Mi tsro kikle ndu mu ni shu shulu, mba ni alamu mu ni meme (gbugblu), iyi ilu mba ntse Ikpan irjhi ni k'ma ti bwu,
I will show wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below: blood and fire and smoke vapor.
20 Kpan iwha ni k'ma ti iyi, ri du kikle vi wu Baci ni ye, vi wa ko nha ni to nda rhimre nitu ma.
The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into ‘blood’ before the great and glorious day of the Lord will come.
21 Ani to ki, ndhi wa a yo nde Bacia ani nawo
And it will be: whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved!’
22 Ndhi bi Israila, wo lan tre biyi, Yeshu wu Nazarat ana ndhi wa Irjhi a nzu hon ni shishi mbi, ni kikle ndu ni kpi bi du ndhi bwunyu yo hyo ni wuo Irjhi ati ni woma ni mimbi, me wa biyi me bito.
“Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Natsorean, a man from God attested to you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by Him in your midst, as you yourselves well know,
23 Ndi yi wa ba vuu nu tsra ni kpe wa Irjhi ana mla zi nda to; ni wo meme; ndhi wa bana zren ni tu nkon na ba wuu ni kpan u ni kunkro (kros).
Him—being delivered up by the established purpose and foreknowledge of God—you murdered, having taken Him with lawless hands and crucified Him;
24 Ama Irjhi a nzu lu, nda chuchuwo ni ya wu qu, nitu iqu na he ni gbengble wu vu u nji na
whom God raised up, ending the labor pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.
25 Ni kima Dawuda a tre ni tuma ndi “me to Baci chachu ni shishi mu; ngye a he ni kosan worhimu di du mina c'bi rhuna.
For David says concerning Him: ‘I always saw the Lord before my face, because He is at my right side so that I not be shaken.
26 Nitu ki, mi ngri ni suron mu e line mu a takpe. N'makpa mu ngame ni son ni yo suron.
Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced. Furthermore, even my flesh will repose upon hope,
because You will not abandon my soul in Hades, nor will You allow Your Holy One to see decay. (Hadēs g86)
28 Wu bwu nkon wu rai ni mu du mi mla to, wu du me ngri kpukpo me ni shishi me
You have made known to me roads of life; with Your presence You make me full of gladness.’
29 Mri vayi, ani bi numu dumi tre ni yi ni suron wu kpanyme, (hamma ni sisiri), nitu chiche baci. Dawuda, ndi a qu e ba rhuwu, e ibe ma he ni ta ya ni vi wu luwa.
“Men, brothers, be it permitted to speak to you plainly about the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
30 Nitu kima ana anabi wa a toh ndi Irjhi a shirhi ni ban niwu ndi eh'pu wu nchinema ni hon son nitu tuchuma.
So then, he being a prophet and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath that of the fruit, according to flesh, of his loins He would raise up the Messiah to sit on his throne,
31 A to kpe wa ani ye he ni shishia ndda tre ni tu lu tashme Kristi, ndi bana kawdon ni ko qu na; e n'mama na gla na. (Hadēs g86)
he foreseeing this spoke about the resurrection of the Messiah, that His soul was not abandoned in Hades, nor did His flesh see decay. (Hadēs g86)
32 Yesu yiwa Irjhi a nzu lunde, e kita wawumbu, ki bla ikpe wa kito di wo nitu ma'a.
“This Jesus God raised, to which we all are witnesses.
33 Nitu ki, niwa ba nzu hon hi wo ko rhi wu Irjhi, nda kpa Ruhu Tsatsra wa titi baci a shirhi niwu, a vu vra grhi, ikpi wa bisi to nini wo'a.
Therefore, having been exalted to God's right hand, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this that you now see and hear.
34 Dawuda ana hon hi ni shuluna, ama nda tre ndi “Baci a lha ni Bacimu,” ku son ni wo rhimu.
Further, David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says: ‘The Lord said to my Lord: Sit at my right hand
35 Di gben dumi k'ma bi kamba (yo shishi) niwu ti ruron wu sa za me.”
until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.’
36 Niki ma, du ko Israila wawu mla toh ndi janji, Irjhi du he Baci mba Kristi, Yesu yi wa bi Kpanwu nitu kros'a.
Therefore, let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made Him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified!”
37 Niwa ba wo tre yi a yra ba suron, e ba lha ni Bitrus baba mbru manzani ba, ndi “Mri vayi, ki ti nihe?”
Now upon hearing this they were cut to the heart and said to Peter, and the rest of the Apostles, “Men, brothers, what shall we do?!”
38 Bitrus lha bawu di k'ma gon nu latre, ni kpa baptisma, ko nha bi ni nde Yesu kristi, ni wru latre bi ni Irjhi hlega, ndi kpa Ruhu Tsatsra wa ani nu hamma ni du ui han kpe.
So Peter said to them: “Repent and be baptized, each one of you, upon the name of Jesus Christ, for forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 Shirhi'a ahi wumbi, baba mrimbi, niwa ba he gbagban me ngame; wawundhi wa Baci Irjhi mbu ni yo ba'a”
For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all who are far away—as many, that is, as the Lord our God may call.”
40 Ni lan tre gbugbuwu, a tre ni tu kima'a nda nrooba ndi.” Nhawo rhu ni k'ba bi kawatre yi.
With many different words he both testified and kept exhorting, saying, “Escape from this perverse generation!”
41 Mle ba kpa tre ma e ba ti baptisma ni bawu, ndhi dubu tra ka ru nha ni ba.
Then those who gladly received his word were baptized, and that day about three thousand souls were added.
42 Ba ye suron mba ni bubu riri ni kpa Isro manzani mba zumunta, nda ni ga bredi wu jibi, mba bre Irjhi.
And they continued steadfastly in the Apostles' teaching and in the fellowship, both in the breaking of the bread and in the prayers.
43 Sisiri a vu ko nha e anabawa'a ba ti ndu gbugbu baba ekpi bi tsro (sisir) ya.
Fear came upon every soul—many wonders and signs were taking place through the Apostles.
44 Biwa ba kpanyme ba ki ni bubu rii nda ti ko ngye to u ndi riri, hamma ni chuti nkan,
Now all who believed were together and had all things in common;
45 Ba vu ba kpimba le nda ga ni ko nba nmba tsra ni kpe wa ko nha ni son.
they started selling both possessions and goods and were distributing to all according as anyone had need.
46 Nivi hi nivi, ba yo tu mba ni suron riri ni ko Irjhi,
So day by day they continued steadfastly with one purpose in the temple and broke bread from house to house; they received their share of food with gladness and singleness of heart,
47 Ba ga bredi niko rikomba, nda ga birhi ni nroo kpamba hamma ni nzutu, ndani gbre nde Irjhi ndi ba ba kpanyme ni ba e chachu, Baci a si gbron ndhi wa basi nhawo ni ye niba nda du gbrumba a si hon
praising God and having favor with all the people. And day by day the Lord added to the Church those who were being saved.
