Ndu Manzaniba 2
1 Niwa ivi pentacos a ye, bana ki ni bubu riri wawumbawu.
At length, on the day of the Harvest Festival, they had all met in one place;
2 Mle, kikle gyungyu ri, rhi ni shulu, a lu fu grji ye ka ko wa bana ki nima'a.
when suddenly there came from the sky a sound as of a strong rushing blast of wind. This filled the whole house where they were sitting;
3 Elem to ilu kri ku gason nitu mba ni yiyri.
and they saw tongues of what looked like fire distributing themselves over the assembly, and on the head of each person a tongue alighted.
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.
They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in foreign languages according as the Spirit gave them words to utter.
5 Ni kima, Yahudawa bi hu nkon Irjhi, rhi ni gbu gbungblu kankan ni meme, bana he ni Urishilima.
Now there were Jews residing in Jerusalem, devout men from every part of the world.
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 this noise was heard, they came crowding together, and were amazed because everyone heard his own language spoken.
7 Kpe a k'ma nuba sisiri ni mre; i ba tre ndi, “E biyi wawumba, bi si trea, bana ndhi bi Galilee na?
They were beside themselves with wonder, and exclaimed, "Are not all these speakers Galilaeans?
8 A ngye ti du ta niwo ba ni lan tre gbunbu, lan wa ba grjita niwa a?
How then does each of us hear his own native language spoken by them?
9 Parthians mba medes mba Elamites mba biwa ba ki ni mesopotamia, ni Judea mba Cappodia, wu Pontus mba Asia.
Some of us are Parthians, Medes, Elamites. Some are inhabitants of Mesopotamia, of Judaea or Cappadocia, of Pontus or the Asian Province, of Phrygia or Pamphylia,
10 Phrygia mba Pamphylia, ni Egypt mba mbru bubu bi Libya hi ni Cyrene, mba Bitsri wa ba rhi ni Rome.
of Egypt or of the parts of Africa towards Cyrene. Others are visitors from Rome--being either Jews or converts from heathenism--and others are Cretans or Arabians.
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.
Yet we all alike hear these Galilaeans speaking in our own language about the wonderful things which God has done."
12 A nuba rhimre ni sisiri i ba tre ni kpa mba ndi, “A hi ngye to yi?”
They were all astounded and bewildered, and asked one another, "What can this mean?"
13 Bari banza ba nda tre ndi, “Basi huwa hi sa.”
But others, scornfully jeering, said, "They are brim-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.
Peter however, together with the Eleven, stood up and addressed them in a loud voice. "Men of Judaea, and all you inhabitants of Jerusalem," he said, "be in no uncertainty about this matter but pay attention to what I say.
15 Ndhi biyi bana si hwu na wa bi ban na, zizan ni ton wu tra wu hwumble genri.
For this is not intoxication, as you suppose, it being only the third hour of the day.
16 Kpe yi a tsra ni tre anabi Joel;
But that which was predicted through the Prophet Joel has happened:
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.
"And it shall come to pass in the last days, God says, that I will pour out My Spirit upon all mankind; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall have dreams;
18 Jaji bi ndu mu, lilon baba mba, mi buwa ba ni ruhu mu u ba nra kpi biye ni ko shishi.
and even upon My bondservants, both men and women, at that time, I will pour out My Spirit, and they shall 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 display marvels in the sky above, and signs on the earth below, blood and fire, and pillars of smoke.
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 shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, to usher in the day of the Lord-- that great and illustrious day;
21 Ani to ki, ndhi wa a yo nde Bacia ani nawo
and every one who calls on the name of the Lord shall 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.
"Listen, Israelites, to what I say. Jesus, the Nazarene, a man accredited to you from God by miracles and marvels and signs which God did among you through Him, as you yourselves know, Him--
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).
delivered up through God's settled purpose and foreknowledge--you by the hands of Gentiles have nailed to a cross and have put to death.
24 Ama Irjhi a nzu lu, nda chuchuwo ni ya wu qu, nitu iqu na he ni gbengble wu vu u nji na
But God has raised Him to life, having terminated the throes of death, for in fact it was not possible for Him to be held fast by death.
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 in reference to Him, "'I constantly fixed my eyes upon the Lord, because He is at my right hand in order that I may continue unshaken.
26 Nitu ki, mi ngri ni suron mu e line mu a takpe. N'makpa mu ngame ni son ni yo suron.
For this reason my heart is glad and my tongue exults. My body also shall rest in hope.
For Thou wilt not leave me in the Unseen World forsaken, nor give up Thy holy One to undergo decay. (Hadēs g86)
28 Wu bwu nkon wu rai ni mu du mi mla to, wu du me ngri kpukpo me ni shishi me
Thou hast made known to me the ways of Life: Thou wilt fill me with gladness in Thy presence.'
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.
"As to the patriarch David, I need hardly remind you, brethren, that he died and was buried, and that we still have his tomb among us.
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.
Being a Prophet, however, and knowing that God had solemnly sworn to him to seat a descendant of his upon 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)
with prophetic foresight he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, to the effect that He was not left forsaken in the Unseen World, nor did His body undergo 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 has raised to life-- a fact to which all of us testify.
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.
"Being therefore lifted high by the mighty hand of God, He has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out this which you see and hear.
34 Dawuda ana hon hi ni shuluna, ama nda tre ndi “Baci a lha ni Bacimu,” ku son ni wo rhimu.
For David did not ascend into Heaven, but he says himself, "'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 thy foes a footstool under thy 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 the whole House of Israel know beyond all doubt 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?”
Stung to the heart by these words, they said to Peter and the rest of the Apostles, "Brethren, what are we to 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.
"Repent," replied Peter, "and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, with a view to the remission of your sins, and you shall 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 to you belongs the promise, and to your children, and to all who are far off, whoever 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.
And with many more appeals he solemnly warned and entreated them, saying, "Escape from this crooked generation."
41 Mle ba kpa tre ma e ba ti baptisma ni bawu, ndhi dubu tra ka ru nha ni ba.
Those, therefore, who joyfully welcomed his Message were baptized; and on that one day about three thousand persons were added to them;
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 were constant in listening to the teaching of the Apostles and in their attendance at the Communion, that is, the Breaking of the Bread, and at prayer.
43 Sisiri a vu ko nha e anabawa'a ba ti ndu gbugbu baba ekpi bi tsro (sisir) ya.
Fear came upon every one, and many marvels and signs were done by the Apostles.
44 Biwa ba kpanyme ba ki ni bubu rii nda ti ko ngye to u ndi riri, hamma ni chuti nkan,
And all the believers kept together, and had everything in common.
45 Ba vu ba kpimba le nda ga ni ko nba nmba tsra ni kpe wa ko nha ni son.
They sold their lands and other property, and distributed the proceeds among all, according to every one's necessities.
46 Nivi hi nivi, ba yo tu mba ni suron riri ni ko Irjhi,
And, day by day, attending constantly in the Temple with one accord, and breaking bread in private houses, they took their meals with great happiness and single-heartedness,
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 being regarded with favour by all the people. Also, day by day, the Lord added to their number those whom He was saving.
