Ndu Manzaniba 20

1 Niwa gro wu a kle'a, Bulus a ton ba ka yo mri ko bi hu'a nda nron ba du ba ki gbangban, nda tre ndi duba mla ki nda kuunko hi ni Macedonia.

But after the tumult had ceased, Paul having called the disciples to [him] and embraced [them], went away to go to Macedonia.

2 Niwa a zren zu ni gbungblu bi koki nda gbre ba ni lantre gbugbuwu, a ye rini Greece.

And having passed through those parts, and having exhorted them with much discourse, he came to Greece.

3 Hu gon kima a son ti wha tre niki. Yahudawa ba ba mla nkon meme ti nitu ma, niwa a ta dran hun koma hi ni Syria; nitu ki a kma sran ka zu ni Macedonia.

And having spent three months [there], a treacherous plot against him having been set on foot by the Jews, as he was going to sail to Syria, [the] resolution was adopted of returning through Macedonia.

4 Kpan zren ma ba wa baka rini Asia, bana sopater ivren Pyrrhus wa a rhini Berea, Aristakus mba Sekondus, hamba bana bi Tasalonika wa ba kpanyime, Gaius wu Derbe, Timoti, mba Tychicus mba Trophimus wa a rhi ni Asia.

And there accompanied him as far as Asia, Sopater [son] of Pyrrhus, a Berean; and of Thessalonians, Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius and Timotheus of Derbe, and of Asia, Tychicus and Trophimus.

5 Ndji biyi bana guchi hi nitawu nda ka sia gbenta ni Troas.

These going before waited for us in Troas;

6 Ki dran rhuni Philippi niwa ivi bi bredi wa ana fuulu, a kle, mba ni vi u ton ki ye tsra niba ni Troas. Niki ki son u vi tangban.

but we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and we came to them to Troas in five days, where we spent seven days.

7 Ni vi mumla u Sati ki, niwa kina zontu niki nzi bredi, Bulus a tre ni biwa ba kpanyime'a. A ta son don ba ni viwu hu kima, nitu ki a tre gbron nkon hi ni tsutsuchu.

And the first day of the week, we being assembled to break bread, Paul discoursed to them, about to depart on the morrow. And he prolonged the discourse till midnight.

8 Ilu fitila gbugbuu bana he ni tra u koshu, bubu wa kina zontu ki.

And there were many lights in the upper room where we were assembled.

9 Ni windo'a, vren nze ri ni nde Eutychus a son, e inna a kri koonvu. Niwa bulus a tre la gbron nkon nha, vren nze yi, wa a risi kruna, a kurjoku rjini tuko u tra i baka baun kmomu.

And a certain youth, by name Eutychus, sitting at the window-opening, overpowered by deep sleep, while Paul discoursed very much at length, having been overpowered by the sleep, fell from the third story down to the bottom, and was taken up dead.

10 Bulus a grji hi, kukru tsra kpama nituma nda maanji ye ni kpama. Mle nda tre, “Du sron mbi na ti meme zan toyi na, a he ni sisren.”

But Paul descending fell upon him, and enfolding [him] [in his arms], said, Be not troubled, for his life is in him.

11 Niki a kma hon hi ni tra u koshu'a nda ka nzi bredi tan. Hu gon wa ala si tre ni ba wu gbro nton ka tsra ni bwu mble, a rju kaba don.

And having gone up, and having broken the bread, and eaten, and having long spoken until daybreak, so he went away.

12 Ba nji vren nze'a kma ye ni sisren ma e sron mba a kusi.

And they brought [away] the boy alive, and were no little comforted.

13 Kita ngame ki zren guchi ni Bulus nitu jirgi ma, ki dran hi ni Assos, bubu wa kina banzi ki ban Bulus yonji nita. Ana toki me wawu kima ana son ti, nitu ana ya ndi ani hu nkon u meme hi.

And we, having gone before on board ship, sailed off to Assos, going to take in Paul there; for so he had directed, he himself being about to go on foot.

14 Niwa a zontu nita ni Assos, ki baun yo ni mi jirgi'a ni hi ni Mitylene.

And when he met with us at Assos, having taken him on board, we came to Mitylene;

15 Niki ki dran rhini kima ka ri ni vi wa aka hua, ni bubu wa ata ya nklan meme wu Chios. Ni vi wa ala hu'a, kika yo za ni nklan meme wu Samos, e vi wa aka hu kima, ki ye ri ni kikle gbu Miletus.

and having sailed thence, on the morrow arrived opposite Chios, and the next day put in at Samos; and having stayed at Trogyllium, the next day we came to Miletus:

16 Nitu Bulus ana banzi ndi ani dran vu Ephesus yba, nitu du wawu na wo nton ni Asia na; a ta sima hi ri ni Urushelima nitu hi tsra ni vi Pentecost, anita bi tiwu toki.

for Paul thought it desirable to sail by Ephesus, so that he might not be made to spend time in Asia; for he hastened, if it was possible for him, to be the day of Pentecost at Jerusalem.

17 Rjini Miletus a ton ndji hi ni Ephesus duba ka yo bi ninkon ekklisiya ye wu.

But from Miletus having sent to Ephesus, he called over [to him] the elders of the assembly.

18 Niwa ba ye'a, a hla bawu ndi, “Bi yi kimbi bito, rhini vi mumla wa mi yo za ni Asia, niwa chachu mi zi wunton niyi.

And when they were come to him, he said to them, Ye know how I was with you all the time from the first day that I arrived in Asia,

19 Mi zi ti ndu Bachi hama ni nzutu mba ni Mashishi, mba ni tsra iya wa ye ni me nitu zon nyu meme wu Yahudawa ba.

serving the Lord with all lowliness, and tears, and temptations, which happened to me through the plots of the Jews;

20 Bito nitu wa mi na kamu ni dbu bla ni yiwu ko ngye wa ani zoyi na, mba wa mi tsro yi ni shishi ndji wawu mba huyi niko niko,

how I held back nothing of what is profitable, so as not to announce [it] to you, and to teach you publicly and in every house,

21 ni ni vu ni nran ni Yahudawa baba bi Greek nitu kma sron hi ni Irji mba kri ni gbangban sron ni Bachi mbu Yesu.

testifying to both Jews and Greeks repentance towards God, and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ.

22 Zizan ya, mi si hi ni Urushelima, ni gbron Ruhu, nina to kpe wa ani ti nimu niki na,

And now, behold, bound in my spirit I go to Jerusalem, not knowing what things shall happen to me in it;

23 hamma wa Ruhu Tsatsra a bwu bla nimu ndi ni gbu kankan wa mi ria, wlo cbo wu lo mba iya ni gben me.

only that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city, saying that bonds and tribulations await me.

24 E me mina ban kpa ivri sisren mu to hi kpe wu tumu na, nitu du mi kle itsu mba ndu wa mi kpa rjini Bachi Yesu, ni du mi bwu nran tre ndindi wa Irji nme wo kpata hama duta ki han kpe.

But I make no account of [my] life [as] dear to myself, so that I finish my course, and the ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the glad tidings of the grace of God.

25 Zizan ya, Mito ndi wawu mbi, wa nimi mbi mi zren si dbu hla nitu ikoson Irji, bina la to shishi mu na.

And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom [of God], shall see my face no more.

26 Nitu kima, mi bwu ni bla yiwu vi wu luwa iyi ndrjo na he ni tumu na.

Wherefore I witness to you this day, that I am clean from the blood of all,

27 Nitu mina ka kpe don ni dbu bla wawu kpe wa Irji ni son niyi na.

for I have not shrunk from announcing to you all the counsel of God.

28 Nitu kima, bika mla zren ni kpambi, mba ni ba wawu ntma wa Ruhu Tsatsra a yoyi du yi yaba niwu'a. Mla zren ni krju ekklisiya Irji, wa a le ba ni iyi ma. / Nitu du he ndi / ni iyi ma / nha vunvu bi sen bari ba yo ndi / ni iyi wu vren ma

Take heed therefore to yourselves, and to all the flock, wherein the Holy Spirit has set you as overseers, to shepherd the assembly of God, which he has purchased with the blood of his own.

29 Mi toh ndi, mita hi kpamu, meme yawhu bari ni mi mbi ba ye nda na kpa ntma ba chuwo na.

[For] I know [this, ] that there will come in amongst you after my departure grievous wolves, not sparing the flock;

30 Mi to ndi nimi mbi me, ndji bari ba nzulu nda tre kpe bi gbran rhen nitu du ba gbron mriko bihu bari hi ni kpan mba.

and from among your own selves shall rise up men speaking perverted things to draw away the disciples after them.

31 Nitu ki bika mla kri. Bika ti mren ndi wu se tra mina don me ni nron yi yiyyri mbi ni mashishi ni chu mba ni irhi.

Wherefore watch, remembering that for three years, night and day, I ceased not admonishing each one [of you] with tears.

32 Zizan mi yoyi ni wo Irji mba ni lan tre u wa a kpata, wandi ani to me yi nda nuyi gado nimi biwa ba ngla ba ti tsatsra'a.

And now I commit you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build [you] up and give [to you] an inheritance among all the sanctified.

33 Mina ti ngu yo sron nitu azurfa, zinariya ko nklon ndrjo na.

I have coveted [the] silver or gold or clothing of no one.

34 Biyi me bi to ndi iwo mu biyi ba tindu ne kpiwa mi son mba kpison wu bi wa ba he ni me'a.

Yourselves know that these hands have ministered to my wants, and to those who were with me.

35 Ni kpi wawuu, mi bwu nkon tsro yi nitu wa bi zo bi wa bana he ni gbengblen na, ni tindu, mba niwa bi timre ni lantre Bachi Yesu, lan tre wa wawu kima a tre: A zan bi lulu du hu nu ni du hu kpa,”

I have shewed you all things, that thus labouring [we] ought to come in aid of the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

36 Hu gon tre ma ni nkon yi, a kukwu mgbarju nda bre Irji ni ba wawu mba.

And having said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.

37 Ba kuuyi bran nda mankpa Bulus nji nda chiwu bi bi wu sron nyime.

And they all wept sore; and falling upon the neck of Paul they ardently kissed him,

38 Sron mba a ti meme zan nitu wa a tre ndi bana la to shishima ngana. Mle ba huu ka yo ni nkon ni jirgi ma'a.

specially pained by the word which he had said, that they would no more see his face. And they went down with him to the ship.
