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 now about you that apostasy you teach from Moses those among the Gentiles all Jews telling not to circumcise them the children nor in the customs to walk.
22 Ki ti ni he? Njanji ba wo ndi wu ye.
What then is it? Certainly (should multitude to assemble *K*) they will hear (for *k*) that you have come.
23 Nitu ki, wuka ti kpe wa ki hla niwu. Ki he ni indji nza wa ba chu nyu.
This therefore do you what to you we say; There are with us men four a vow having (on *NK(o)*) themselves;

Concerning now those having believed of the Gentiles we ourselves (wrote to *NK(O)*) having adjudged (nothing such to keep them only except *K*) to keep from them the both idol-sacrifices and (*k*) blood and what is strangled and 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 having taken the men on the following day with them having been purified was entering into the temple declaring the fulfillment of the days of the purification until that was offered for one each of them the sacrifice.
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 now were about the seven days to be completed, the from Asia Jews having seen him in the temple were stirring up all the crowd and laid upon him hands

29 Nitu bana to Trofimus, gu wu Afisus niwu nimi gbua, nda yo ndi Bulus a nji ba ri ni mi hekali.
It was they for (having foreseen *NK(o)*) Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him, whom they were supposing that into the temple had brought Paul.
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.
Was thrown into commotion also the city whole and there was a rushing together of the people, And having laid hold of Paul they were dragging him outside the temple; and immediately were shut the doors.
31 Niwa ba ta son wuu, tu tre a ye ri ni ton kapti wu bi gben ndji Urushelima wawu ni kri gro tsishishi.
Of them seeking (then *N(k)O*) him to kill there came a report to the commander of the cohort that all (are in an uproar *N(k)O*) Jerusalem;
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 at once having taken with [him] soldiers and centurions ran down upon them. And having seen the commander and the soldiers they 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 *NK(o)*) having drawn near the commander laid hold of him and he commanded [him] to be bound with chains two and he was inquiring who (maybe *k*) he would be and what it is he having 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.
Others however another [or] one thing (were crying out *N(k)O*) in the crowd. Not (is being able *N(k)O*) now (he *no*) to know the facts on account of the uproar he ordered to be brought him 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 now he came to the stairs, it happened that being carried he by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
36 Nitu jbu indji ba ba sia huba nda ni kpagro ndi, “Niwu hi.”
Were following for the multitude of the people (crying out; *N(k)O*) 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?
Being about then to be brought into the barracks Paul says to the commander; If is it permitted to me to say something to you? Then he was saying; Greek do you know?
38 Ana wuyi igu masra wa alu kpagbu tsi nda gbron indji dubu nza u bi wuundi rju hi ni miji'a na?”
Surely then you yourself are the Egyptian before these the days having led a revolt and having 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.
Said however Paul; I myself a man indeed am a Jew of Tarsus of Cilicia not [of an] insignificant city a citizen, I implore however you; do 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 was permitting then he Paul having stood on the stairs made a sign with the hand to the people, great then silence having taken place (he addressed [them] *NK(o)*) in the Hebrew language saying:
