1 Bulus sru shishi ya bi ninkon wa ba kia nda tre ndi, “Mri vayi, mi son ni shishi Irji ni sron ndindi ye ni vi wu luwa.”
Paul behelde the counsell and sayde: men and brethre I have lived in all good coscience before God vntill this daye.
2 Kikle Prist Ananiyas a yo tre gbangban ni biwa ba kri whi niwu du ba wru ni nyu.
The hye prest Ananias comaunded the that stode by to smyte him on the mouth.
3 Niki, Bulus a hla wu ndi, “Irji ni yowru, iwu wa wu kpagonkan wa ba ngal ni kinklan penti. Wu son nitu ruron gaatre nimu nitu du, i wuuyi wu du ba yome wru, nkan ni tre du a?”
Then sayde Paul to him: God smyte the thou payntyd wall. Sittest thou and iudgest me after the lawe: and commaundest me to be smytten contrary to the lawe?
4 Biwa ba ki whi niwu ba tre ndi, “A hi toki mba wu mre ninkon Prist wu Rji?”
And they that stode by sayde: revylest thou Goddes hye preste?
5 Bulus hla ndi, “Ime mina toh na, mri vayi, ndi ahi kikle Prist. U ba nha kazi, Wu ka na tre meme tre nitu bi ninkon ba ndji mbi.”
Then sayd Paul: I wist not brethren that he was the hye preste. For it is writte thou shalt not curse the rular of thy people.
6 Niwa Bulus a to ndi ngbala ri bana Sadusii i bari ba Farasii, a tre gbangban me ni son ba'a, a he ni tu mi he ni yo sron tashme ni kwu nikima yi basi tsra lome.”
When Paul perceaved that the one parte were Saduces and the other Pharises: he cryed oute in the counsell. Men and brethren I am a Pharisaye the sonne of a Pharisaye. Of the hope and resurreccion fro deeth I am iudged.
7 Niwa a tre toyi, sen nyu a lu nimi Farasii mba Sadusii, i jbu indi ba ba gaatu.
And when he had so sayde ther arose a debate bitwene the Pharisayes and ye Saduces and the multitude was devided.
8 Bi Sadusii ba tre ndi tashme na hena, Maleku bana hena, mba ibrji bana hena; i Farisii ba kpanyme ndi wawu mba ba he.
For ye Saduces saye that ther is no resurreccio nether angell nor sprete. But the Pharisayes graunt bothe.
9 Niki ti gro wu nzu sron a lu, i bi nha bari wa ba he ni ngbala bi Farisii ba ba lu kri nda sen nyu ni tre ndi, 'Kina to kpe meme ni indji yi na. Anita ibrji koka Maleka mba a tre niwu na?”
And ther arose a great crye and the Scribes which were of the Pharisayes parte arose and strove sayinge: we fynde none evyll in this man. Though a sprete or an angell hath apered to him let vs not stryve agaynst God.
10 Niwa kikle sen nyu a lu, kikle kaptin a ti sissri ndi ba yba Bulus ti gbanjan, niki a yo tre gbangban ni bi lokpa ba du ba grji hi banw ni gbengblen rhini mi son bi ninkon, nda nji wu ye ni bubu mla zi gbangban.

11 Ni chu wa a ka hua kima, Bachi a kri nha niwu nda tre ndi, “Vu sron ni kri gbangban, too wa wu bwu bla nitu mu ni Urushelima, kima me wu bwu bla ni Roma ngame.
The nyght folowyng God stode by him and sayde: Be of good cheare Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Ierusalem so must thou beare witnes at Rome.
12 Niwa mble a nhran, Yahudawa bari ba zontu wu ti meme, nda tan mbre, ndi bana rhi mba so kpe na se ba wuu Bulus ri.

21 Na gle rini wo mba na, nitu indji zan arbain bari ba kru nkon si gben u. Ba tan bre wa bana rji ko nda so kpena se ba wuu ri. Zizan me, ba ki si gben yowo nyime me.”
