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 when it came to pass that, being parted from them, we set sail, we came with a straight course to Coos, and the day following to Rhodes, and from thence to Patara.
2 Niwa ki to jirgima wa a ta ru hini Funisiya, ki ri huba dran hi.
And when we had found a ship sailing over to Phenice, we went aboard, and set forth.
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 discovered Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed into Syria, and came to Tyre: for there the ship was to unlade her burden.
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 finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not 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 the days being expired, departing we went forward, they all bringing us on our way, with their wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and we prayed.
6 ni tre ndi se vi ri niki ki rini jirgi'a, i ba kma hi komba.
And when we had bid one another farewell, we took ship; and they returned home.
7 Niwa ki kle zren mbu rji ni Tyre, ki ye ni Ptolemais. Niki chi mri vayi ba ni son niba wu vi ri.
But we having finished the voyage by sea, from Tyre came down to Ptolemais: and saluting the brethren, we abode one day with them.
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 the next day departing, we came to Caesarea. And entering into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we abode with him.
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 did prophesy.
10 Niwa ki kii niki wu vi fon bran, indji ri wa ri to koshishi, ni nde Agabus, grji ye rhi ni Judiya.
And as we tarried there for some days, there came from Judea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
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.”
Who, when he was come to us, took Paul’s girdle: and binding his own feet and hands, he said: Thus saith the Holy Ghost: The man whose girdle this is, the Jews shall bind in this manner in Jerusalem, and shall deliver him 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.
Which when we had heard, both we and they that were of that place, desired him that he would not go up 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 answered, and said: What do you mean weeping and afflicting my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but to die also in 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 when we could not persuade him, we ceased, saying: The will of the Lord be done.
15 Hu vi biyi, ki vu ba mbu zren mbu ni hi ni Urushelima.
And after those days, being prepared, we 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 there went also with us some of the disciples from Caesarea, bringing with them one Mnason a Cyprian, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
17 Niwa ki ye ri ni Urushelima, mri vayi ba ba kpata ni wo ha ni ngyiri.
And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
18 Nivi wa a ka hu ki, Bulus a njita hi ni ko Yakubu, i bi chiche ba bana he niki.
And the day following, Paul went in with us unto James; and all the ancients were assembled.
19 Niwa a chi ba, a vu bla ni yiyri kpi wa Irji a ti nimi Bikora ni nkon ndu wa a ti'a.
Whom when he had saluted, he related particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
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.
But they hearing it, glorified God, and said to him: Thou seest, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews that have believed: and they are all zealous 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.
Now they have heard of thee that thou teachest those Jews, who are among the Gentiles, to depart from Moses: saying, that they ought not to circumcise their children, nor walk according to the custom.
22 Ki ti ni he? Njanji ba wo ndi wu ye.
What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
23 Nitu ki, wuka ti kpe wa ki hla niwu. Ki he ni indji nza wa ba chu nyu.
Do therefore this that we say to thee. We have four men, who have a vow on them.
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.
Take these, and sanctify thyself with them: and bestow on them, that they may shave their heads: and all will know that the things which they have heard of thee, are false; but that thou thyself also walkest keeping 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 touching the Gentiles that believe, we have written, decreeing that they should only refrain themselves from that which has been offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangles, and from fornication.
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 the next day being purified with them, entered into the temple, giving notice of the accomplishment of the days of purification, until an oblation should be offered 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.
But when the seven days were drawing to an end, those Jews that were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands upon him, crying out:
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.”
Men of Israel, help: This is the man that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place; and moreover hath brought in Gentiles into the temple, and hath violated this holy place.
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 Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, whom they supposed that Paul had brought 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 the whole city was in an uproar: and the people ran together. And taking Paul, they drew him out of the temple, and immediately 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 as they went about to kill him, it was told the tribune of the band, That all Jerusalem was in confusion.
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.
Who, forthwith taking with him soldiers and centurions, ran down to them. And when they saw the tribune and the soldiers they left off beating 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 tribune coming near, took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains: and demanded 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 cried one thing, some another, among the multitude. And when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle.
35 Niwa a zren ye ni bubu ban za grji'a, bi lokpa a ba banwu nitu nfu jbu indji ba.
And when he was come to the stairs, it fell out that he was carried by the soldiers, because of the violence of the people.
36 Nitu jbu indji ba ba sia huba nda ni kpagro ndi, “Niwu hi.”
For the multitude of the people followed after, crying: 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 as Paul was about to be brought into the castle, he saith to the tribune: May speak something to thee? Who said: Canst thou speak Greek?
38 Ana wuyi igu masra wa alu kpagbu tsi nda gbron indji dubu nza u bi wuundi rju hi ni miji'a na?”
Art not thou that Egyptian who before these days didst raise a tumult, and didst lead forth into the desert four thousand men that were murderers?
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 to him: I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city. And I beseech thee, suffer me to speak 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 had given him leave, Paul standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. And a great silence being made, he spoke unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying:
