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.
When it happened that we had parted from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
2 Niwa ki to jirgima wa a ta ru hini Funisiya, ki ri huba dran hi.
Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard, and set sail.
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.
When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre, for there the ship was to unload her cargo.
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.
Having found the talmidim, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Ruach, 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,
When it happened that we had accomplished the days, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. And after kneeling down on the beach and praying,
6 ni tre ndi se vi ri niki ki rini jirgi'a, i ba kma hi komba.
we said farewell to one another. And we went on board the ship, and they returned to their own.
7 Niwa ki kle zren mbu rji ni Tyre, ki ye ni Ptolemais. Niki chi mri vayi ba ni son niba wu vi ri.
When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers, and stayed with them 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.
On the next day, we departed and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed 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.
Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
10 Niwa ki kii niki wu vi fon bran, indji ri wa ri to koshishi, ni nde Agabus, grji ye rhi ni Judiya.
As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
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.”
Coming to us, and taking Paul's belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, "Thus says the Ruach ha-Kodesh: 'So will the Judeans in Jerusalem bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of non-Jewish people.'"
12 Niwa ki wo kpi biyi, kita baba indji wa ba ki ni ki, ki krubre Bulus ni du na hi ni Urushelima na.
When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place urged him not to 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, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Yeshua."
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.”
When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, "The Lord's will be done."
15 Hu vi biyi, ki vu ba mbu zren mbu ni hi ni Urushelima.
After these days we took up our baggage 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.
Some of the talmidim from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early talmid, with whom we would stay.
17 Niwa ki ye ri ni Urushelima, mri vayi ba ba kpata ni wo ha ni ngyiri.
When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
18 Nivi wa a ka hu ki, Bulus a njita hi ni ko Yakubu, i bi chiche ba bana he niki.
The day following, Paul went in with us to Jacob; and all the elders 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.
When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the non-Jewish people through 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.
They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, "You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Judeans of those who 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.
They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the non-Jews to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children neither to walk after the customs.
22 Ki ti ni he? Njanji ba wo ndi wu ye.
What then? The multitude must certainly meet. They will hear that you have come.
23 Nitu ki, wuka ti kpe wa ki hla niwu. Ki he ni indji nza wa ba chu nyu.
Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
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 them, and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk 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 concerning the non-Jewish who believe, we have written our decision that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality."
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, purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was 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.
When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the crowd and laid 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, help. This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the Law, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple, and has defiled 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 previously seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought 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.
All the city was moved, and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. 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.
As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
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.
Immediately he took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped 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 commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired 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.
Some shouted one thing, and some another, among the crowd. When he could not find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
35 Niwa a zren ye ni bubu ban za grji'a, bi lokpa a ba banwu nitu nfu jbu indji ba.
When he came to the stairs, it happened that he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
36 Nitu jbu indji ba ba sia huba nda ni kpagro ndi, “Niwu hi.”
for the crowd of the people followed after, 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?
As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, "May I speak something to you?" He said, "Do you know 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 not then the Egyptian, who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?"
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, from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow 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,
When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,
