Ndu Manzaniba 21
1 Niwa ki hi don ba ni vu zren hu nkon mma, ki hu tri me hi ni gbu Cos, e ni bi wa aka hua ni gbu Rhodes, mba rhini ki hi ni gbu patra.
And after parting from them, we put out to sea and came straight to Cos, and the day after to Rhodes, and from there to Patara:
2 Niwa ki to jirgima wa a ta ru hini Funisiya, ki ri huba dran hi.
And as there was a ship going to Phoenicia, we went in it.
3 Hu wa ki nzu shishi to Cyprus, ki kawdon ni wo mrha wu kpran jirgia, ki dran hi ni Syria, ndi ka kukri ni Tyre, bubu wa kikle jirgi a ta ju kpi wa anjia.
And when we had come in view of Cyprus, going past it on our left, we went on to Syria, and came to land at Tyre: for there the goods which were in the ship had to be taken out.
4 Hu wa ki to mri ko bihuba, ki kii ni ki wu vi tangban. Hu kpere sron brji, basi yo tre ni Bulus du na hi Urushelima na.
And meeting the disciples we were there for seven days: and they gave Paul orders through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem.
5 Niwa ivimbu niki a kle, ki donba ni kunkon mbu, i wawumbu, baba mbamba ni mri mba ba huta zren rjuni gbu'a. Niki ki kukwu ngbarju ni nyu kpe tre ma'a ni bre Irji,
And when these days came to an end, we went on our journey; and they all, with their wives and children, came with us on our way till we were out of the town: and after going on our knees in prayer by the sea,
6 ni tre ndi se vi ri niki ki rini jirgi'a, i ba kma hi komba.
We said our last words to one another, and got into the ship, and they went back to their houses.
7 Niwa ki kle zren mbu rji ni Tyre, ki ye ni Ptolemais. Niki chi mri vayi ba ni son niba wu vi ri.
And journeying by ship from Tyre we came to Ptolemais; and there we had talk with the brothers and were with them for one day.
8 Nivi wa a hu kima ki hi ni Kaisariya. Ki ri ni ko Filibus, ndji wu zren ni bla tre Irji, wa ana iri nimi tangban ba, ndi ka son niwu.
And on the day after, we went away and came to Caesarea, where we were guests in the house of Philip, the preacher, who was one of the seven.
9 Inji yi a he ni mri mba nza wa bana to lilon na, i bata nran kpi bi ye ni ko shishi.
And he had four daughters, virgins, who were prophets.
10 Niwa ki kii niki wu vi fon bran, indji ri wa ri to koshishi, ni nde Agabus, grji ye rhi ni Judiya.
And while we were waiting there for some days, a certain prophet, named Agabus, came down from Judaea.
11 A ye nita nda ban rjirji trii Bulus. Niki a lo za mba woma ni rjirji trii'a nda tre ndi, “Ikpe wa Brji Tsatsra ni tre'a, toki Yahudawa bi Urushelima ba lo indji wu rjirji trii yi, i ba vuu yo ni wo Bikora.”
And he came to us, and took the band of Paul's clothing, and putting it round his feet and hands, said, The Holy Spirit says these words, So will the Jews do to the man who is the owner of this band, and they will give him up into the hands of the Gentiles.
12 Niwa ki wo kpi biyi, kita baba indji wa ba ki ni ki, ki krubre Bulus ni du na hi ni Urushelima na.
And hearing these things, we and those who were living in that place made request to him not to go to Jerusalem.
13 Niki Bulus a sa bawu ndi, “Bisi ti ngye, kpa gro nini yra me sron? Mi kpanyime ndi du ba na lo me negen na, mba du me kwu ngame ni Urushelima nitu nde Bachi Yesu.”
Then Paul said, What are you doing, weeping and wounding my heart? for I am ready, not only to be a prisoner, but to be put to death at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14 Nitu wa Bulus na kma sron ni bre mba na, ki son ngbangbi ni lu tre ndi, “Du kpe wa Irji kpanyime niwu du he toki.”
And as he might not be moved we did no more, saying, Let the purpose of God be done.
15 Hu vi biyi, ki vu ba mbu zren mbu ni hi ni Urushelima.
And after these days we got ready and went up to Jerusalem.
16 Mri ko bi hu bari wa ba rhini Kasariya ba huta ngame. Ba nji indji ri wu nde Mnason, indji wu Cyprus, nha ni kpamba, wa ana he ni mi bi mri ko bi hu, wa ki hi ki niwu.
And some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, taking a certain Mnason of Cyprus, one of the early disciples, in whose house we were to be living.
17 Niwa ki ye ri ni Urushelima, mri vayi ba ba kpata ni wo ha ni ngyiri.
And when we came to Jerusalem, the brothers were pleased to see us.
18 Nivi wa a ka hu ki, Bulus a njita hi ni ko Yakubu, i bi chiche ba bana he niki.
And on the day after, Paul went with us to James, and all the rulers of the church were present.
19 Niwa a chi ba, a vu bla ni yiyri kpi wa Irji a ti nimi Bikora ni nkon ndu wa a ti'a.
And when he had said how glad he was to see them, he gave them a detailed account of the things which God had done through his work among the Gentiles.
20 Niwa bawo kima ba gbre san ni Irji, nda hlawu ndi, “Wu to, vayi, ka indji dubu bren ni mi Yahudawa ba ba kpanyime. Ba yo sron kri gbangban ndi ba hu du a.
And hearing it, they gave praise to God; and they said to him, You see, brother, what thousands there are among the Jews, who have the faith; and they all have a great respect for the law:
21 Ba hla bawu nitu me, ndi wu tsro Yahudawa wa baki nimi Bikora'a du ba ka Musa don, mba ndi wu hla bawu dubu na yoyi ni mri mba, mba du bana zren nitu nkon ba tii na.
And they have had news of you, how you have been teaching all the Jews among the Gentiles to give up the law of Moses, and not to give circumcision to their children, and not to keep the old rules.
22 Ki ti ni he? Njanji ba wo ndi wu ye.
What then is the position? They will certainly get news that you have come.
23 Nitu ki, wuka ti kpe wa ki hla niwu. Ki he ni indji nza wa ba chu nyu.
Do this, then, which we say to you: We have four men who have taken an oath;
24 Vuu indji ba ni ngla kpame niba, ni han nklen ni tumba, ni du ba kron nfutu mba. Ko nha ni to ndi kpe wa ba bla nitu me a hi che. Ba to ndi iwu ngame wu son tsra, nini hu du'a.
Go with these, and make yourself clean with them, and make the necessary payments for them, so that they may be free from their oath: and everyone will see that the statements made about you are not true, but that you put yourself under rule, and keep the law.
25 I nitu Bikora wa ba kpanyime'a, ki nha nitu krimbu ndi duba chu kpamba ti nkan ni kpi wa ba ton ni kpi bi brji, ni iyi, ni kpe ba wuu ni nkon nduto, mba ni ti fa'a.”
But as to the Gentiles who have the faith, we sent a letter, giving our decision that they were to keep themselves from offerings made to false gods, and from blood, and from the flesh of animals put to death in ways against the law, and from the evil desires of the body.
26 Niki Bulus a vuu indji ba, i ni vi wa aka hu'a, a ngla kpama bi ni babaa. Niki ba ri hi ni mi hekali, yo tre ni zi ndi vi wu nglakpa ani ye he toki, i ba nu beko nitu yiyri mba.
Then Paul took the men, and on the day after, making himself clean with them, he went into the Temple, giving out the statement that the days necessary for making them clean were complete, till the offering was made for every one of them.
27 Niwa vi tangban ba ba ye kle, Yahudawa bari rhini Asiya, ni ku shishi ni bulus ni mi hekalia, chon kpaandji ba nfu, nda yo wo nitu ma.
And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews from Asia, seeing him in the Temple, got the people together and put their hands on him,
28 Ba sia kpa gro ndi, “Indji bi Israila, zo ta. Indji yi yi ni tsro ndji wawu kagon, kpi wa ahi nkan ni kri mba, ni dua, mba ni bubu yi. Hama kima me, a nji indji bi Greek bari ye ni mi hekali nda kpa bubu tsatsra yi ti meme.”
Crying out, Men of Israel, come to our help: this is the man who is teaching all men everywhere against the people and the law and this place: and in addition, he has taken Greeks into the Temple, and made this holy place unclean.
29 Nitu bana to Trofimus, gu wu Afisus niwu nimi gbua, nda yo ndi Bulus a nji ba ri ni mi hekali.
For they had seen him before in the town with Trophimus of Ephesus, and had the idea that Paul had taken him with him into the Temple.
30 Igbu'a wawu a chu nzan, i indji ba ba yo tsu ka vu Bulus. Ba gbiwu rju ni hekalia, nda kaa nkon ba gbagbla.
And all the town was moved, and the people came running together and put their hands on Paul, pulling him out of the Temple: and then the doors were shut.
31 Niwa ba ta son wuu, tu tre a ye ri ni ton kapti wu bi gben ndji Urushelima wawu ni kri gro tsishishi.
And while they were attempting to put him to death, news came to the chief captain of the band that all Jerusalem was out of control.
32 Niki a tsi kri vu bi lokpa baba bi ya ndji deri ri, nda tsutsu grji nimi jbu indji ba. Niwa indji ba ba to ninkon kaptin mba bi lokpa ba, ba donme ni tsi Bulus.
And straight away he took some armed men and went quickly down to them: and the Jews, seeing them, gave no more blows to Paul.
33 Niki ninkon kapti a zren hi ka vu Bulus, nda mmha yo ndi du ba lowu ni sraka ha. Niki a mye ka a hi nha mba a hi ngye wa a tia.
Then the chief captain came near and took him, and gave orders for him to be put in chains, questioning them as to who he was and what he had done.
34 Bari nimi jbu indji ba ba kpagro kperi i bari kpe nkan. Niwa kaptia ana mla to tu tre'a na, nitu hanton mba, a yo ba du ba nji Bulus hi ni bubu wa ba mla ziri.
And some said one thing and some another, among the people: and as he was not able to get a knowledge of the facts because of the noise, he gave orders for Paul to be taken into the army building.
35 Niwa a zren ye ni bubu ban za grji'a, bi lokpa a ba banwu nitu nfu jbu indji ba.
And when he came on to the steps, he was lifted up by the armed men, because of the force of the people;
36 Nitu jbu indji ba ba sia huba nda ni kpagro ndi, “Niwu hi.”
For a great mass of people came after them, crying out, Away with him!
37 Niwa bataa nji Bulus ye ni bubu wu mlazia, a tre ni ninkon kaptia, ndi “Wu kpanyime ni du mi hla kpe niwu?” Kaptia a tre ndi, “Wu tre lan Greek?
And when Paul was about to be taken into the building, he said to the chief captain, May I say something to you? And he said, Have you a knowledge of Greek?
38 Ana wuyi igu masra wa alu kpagbu tsi nda gbron indji dubu nza u bi wuundi rju hi ni miji'a na?”
Are you by chance the Egyptian who, before this, got the people worked up against the government and took four thousand men of the Assassins out into the waste land?
39 Bulus a tre ndi, Mi ndi Yahudawa, rji ni gbu Tarsus ni Cilicia. Mina vren meme wu gbu wa a hi fii me na. Mi bre, du me tre ni indji ba.
But Paul said, I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, which is not an unimportant town: I make a request to you to let me say a word to the people.
40 Niwa kaptin a nu kpanyime'a, Bulus a lu kri ni bubu ban zaa nda ti wo ni indji ba. Niwa bubua a ti gbi me, a tre niba ni lan Ibraniyawa ba. A tre nde,
And when he let him do so, Paul, from the steps, made a sign with his hand to the people, and when they were all quiet, he said to them in the Hebrew language,
