< 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.
And after the ceasing of the tumult, Paul having called near the disciples, and having embraced [them], went forth to go on to Macedonia;
2 Niwa a zren zu ni gbungblu bi koki nda gbre ba ni lantre gbugbuwu, a ye rini Greece.
and having gone through those parts, and having exhorted them with many words, 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.
having made also three months' [stay] — a counsel of the Jews having been against him — being about to set forth to Syria, there came [to him] a resolution 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 were accompanying him unto Asia, Sopater of Berea, and of Thessalonians Aristarchus and Secundus, and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus, and of Asiatics Tychicus and Trophimus;
5 Ndji biyi bana guchi hi nitawu nda ka sia gbenta ni Troas.
these, having gone before, did remain 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.
and we sailed, after the days of the unleavened food, from Philippi, and came unto them to Troas in five days, where we abode 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 on the first of the week, the disciples having been gathered together to break bread, Paul was discoursing to them, about to depart on the morrow, he was also continuing the discourse till midnight,
8 Ilu fitila gbugbuu bana he ni tra u koshu, bubu wa kina zontu ki.
and there were many lamps in the upper chamber where they were gathered together,
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 there was sitting a certain youth, by name Eutychus, upon the window — being borne down by a deep sleep, Paul discoursing long — he having sunk down from the sleep, fell down from the third story, and was lifted 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.”
And Paul, having gone down, fell upon him, and having embraced [him], said, 'Make no tumult, 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 come up, and having broken bread, and having tasted, for a long time also having talked — till daylight, so he went forth,
12 Ba nji vren nze'a kma ye ni sisren ma e sron mba a kusi.
and they brought up the lad alive, and were comforted in no ordinary measure.
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 unto the ship, did sail to Assos, thence intending to take in Paul, for so he had arranged, intending himself 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 up, 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 thence having sailed, on the morrow we came over-against Chios, and the next day we arrived at Samos, and having remained in Trogyllium, on the following 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 decided to sail past Ephesus, that there may not be to him a loss of time in Asia, for he hasted, if it were possible for him, on the day of the Pentecost to be at Jerusalem.
17 Rjini Miletus a ton ndji hi ni Ephesus duba ka yo bi ninkon ekklisiya ye wu.
And from Miletus, having sent to Ephesus, he called for 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 unto him, he said to them, 'Ye — ye know from the first day in which I came to Asia, how, with you at all times I was;
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 humility, and many tears, and temptations, that befell me in the counsels of the Jews against [me];
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 nothing I did keep back of what things are profitable, not to declare 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 fully both to Jews and Greeks, toward God reformation, and faith toward 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, lo, I — bound in the Spirit — go on to Jerusalem, the things that shall befall me in it not knowing,
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.
save that the Holy Spirit in every city doth testify fully, saying, that for me bonds and tribulations remain;
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 account of none of these, neither do I count my life precious to myself, so that I finish my course with joy, and the ministration that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify fully the good news 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, lo, I have known that no more shall ye see my face, — ye all among whom I did go preaching the reign of God;
26 Nitu kima, mi bwu ni bla yiwu vi wu luwa iyi ndrjo na he ni tumu na.
wherefore I take you to witness this day, that I [am] clear from the blood of all,
27 Nitu mina ka kpe don ni dbu bla wawu kpe wa Irji ni son niyi na.
for I did not keep back from declaring 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, among which the Holy Spirit made you overseers, to feed the assembly of God that He acquired through His own blood,
29 Mi toh ndi, mita hi kpamu, meme yawhu bari ni mi mbi ba ye nda na kpa ntma ba chuwo na.
for I have known this, that there shall enter in, after my departing, grievous wolves unto you, 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 of your own selves there shall arise men, speaking perverse 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.
'Therefore, watch, remembering that three years, night and day, I did not cease with tears warning each one;
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 commend you, brethren, to God, and to the word of His grace, that is able to build up, and to give you an inheritance among all those sanctified.
33 Mina ti ngu yo sron nitu azurfa, zinariya ko nklon ndrjo na.
'The silver or gold or garments of no one did I covet;
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.
and ye yourselves know that to my necessities, and to those who were with me, minister did these hands;
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,”
all things I did shew you, that, thus labouring, it behoveth [us] to partake with the ailing, to be mindful also of 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 these things having said, having bowed his knees, with them all, he did pray,
37 Ba kuuyi bran nda mankpa Bulus nji nda chiwu bi bi wu sron nyime.
and there came a great weeping to all, and having fallen upon the neck of Paul, they were kissing 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.
sorrowing most of all for the word that he had said — that they are about no more to see his face; and they were accompanying him to the ship.
