Ndu Manzaniba 28
1 Niwa ba nji ta ye ri pian me, ki wo ndi ba yo nklan meme ki ndi Malta.
And when we had escaped, then we knew that the island was called Melita. But the barbarians shewed us no small courtesy.
2 Indji bi son niki ba kpata nisron ndindi nda mulu nitawu duta mbru kpa nitu ilu chachu mba isi wa a he niki.
For kindling a fire, they refreshed us all, because of the present rain, and of the cold.
3 Niwa Bulus a vu fla kunkron zontu zi nda vu sa nitu lua, iwan a rju nitu gbaji lua nda ye nye wu ni wo.
And when Paul had gathered together a bundle of sticks, and had laid them on the fire, a viper coming out of the heat, fastened on his hand.
4 Niwa indji bi bubuki ba to nma si klo ni woma, ba tre ni kpamba, “Indji yi, wu njanji, ani wuu ndji niwa a nawo rjini kpan trema, i gaatre na kpanyme ndi du son ni sisren na.”
And when the barbarians saw the beast hanging on his hand, they said one to another: Undoubtedly this man is a murderer, who though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance doth not suffer him to live.
5 I niki a kpon nma yo nimi lu'a hama ni du kpe tiwu.
And he indeed shaking off the beast into the fire, suffered no harm.
6 Ba sia gben ndi ani hwukpa ni lilo ko ka lu kurjoku khwu. U niwa ba ki si yau wu gbron nton nda to ndi ikpe meme na ti'una, ba kma sron mba sran nda tre ndi a hi Irji.
But they supposed that he would begin to swell up, and that he would suddenly fall down and die. But expecting long, and seeing that there came no harm to him, changing their minds, they said, that he was a god.
7 Zizan, whiniki, bubu meme bari a he wa bana bi chu wu nklan memeki, igu wa ba yondi Publius. A kpa ta bi ni wo ha, nda nuba kpi wa ba son wu vi tra.
Now in these places were possessions of the chief man of the island, named Publius, who receiving us, for three days entertained us courteously.
8 A he niki, iti Publius a kru lilo lokpa mba atini. Niwa Bulus a hi niwu, a bre, yowo ma nitu ma, nda nuu si kpama.
And it happened that the father of Publius lay sick of a fever, and of a bloody flux. To whom Paul entered in; and when he had prayed, and laid his hands on him, he healed him.
9 Hu kpe yi wa a ye he a, mbru indji bi nklan meme ki ba wa basia lo, ba ngame nda ye kpa sikpa mba.
Which being done, all that had diseases in the island, came and were healed:
10 Indji ba ngame ba nzu hon gbugbuwu. Niwa kita mla ku nkon dran, ba nuta kpi wa ki son a.
Who also honoured us with many honours, and when we were to set sail, they laded us with such things as were necessary.
11 Niwa wha tre a ka hi, ki dran ni jirgi mma wa a kru ga ni nklan meme ki, jirgi mma wu Alexandria, ni nha to “hlan-ha irji” ni kbu shishima.
And after three months, we sailed in a ship of Alexandria, that had wintered in the island, whose sign was the Castors.
12 Ka huki, ki ye grji ki ni gbu Sirakus, ki kii niki wu vi tra.
And when we were come to Syracusa, we tarried there three days.
13 Rji niki ki dran ka ri ni mi gbu u Rhegium. Ivi rhi ka hi kikle ngyungyu a rju rji ni kosan, u ni mi vi hari ki ye rhi ni mi gbu u Puteoli.
From thence, compassing by the shore, we came to Rhegium: and after one day, the south wind blowing, we came the second day to Puteoli;
14 Niki, ki to mri vayi bari i ba yo ta duta ye son niba wu vi tangban. Ni nkon kii ki ye ri ni Roma.
Where, finding brethren, we were desired to tarry with them seven days: and so we went to Rome.
15 Rji niki, wa mri vayi ba ba wo tre nitu mbu, baye zontu nita gbagban mu to rhini cucu Abiyas mba iti tra bru tra. Niwa Bulus a to mri vayi ba, a ngyiri ni Irji nda ti gbengblen.
And from thence, when the brethren had heard of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii Forum, and the Three Taverns: whom when Paul saw, he gave thanks to God, and took courage.
16 Niwa ki rini mi Roma, ba kpanyme ni Bulus du son ni nklenma mba soja wa ata kri yau.
And when we were come to Rome, Paul was suffered to dwell by himself, with a soldier that kept him.
17 Niki a ye he wa ivi tra aka hi, Bulus a yo indji wa bana bi ninkon Yahudawa zi. Niwa ba ye zontu ki, a tre niba ndi “Mri vayi, hama ndi mina ti kpe meme nitu indji ko ka nkon son ba titimbu, ba vu me lo nu ba tro rjini Urushelima ye ri ni wo bi Roma.
And after the third day, he called together the chief of the Jews. And when they were assembled, he said to them: Men, brethren, I, having done nothing against the people, or the custom of our fathers, was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans;
18 Hugon myeme tre, ba ta son chume chuwo, nitu bana to kpe wa ba han hukunchi kwu ni tu tre mu.
Who, when they had examined me, would have released me, for that there was no cause of death in me;
19 I niwa Yahudawa ba tre hu nkon wa bana ta son na, a du me bre to Kaisar, ana nitu mi sia nji nhakpe nitu bi meme mu na.
But the Jews contradicting it, I was constrained to appeal unto Caesar; not that I had any thing to accuse my nation of.
20 Nitu kima yi, mi wa tou ni tre niwu, nitu yo sron wa Israila ba he niwu'a du me he nimi lo sarka hi.”
For this cause therefore I desired to see you, and to speak to you. Because that for the hope of Israel, I am bound with this chain.
21 Mle, ba tre niwu ndi, 'Kina kpa vunvu nha rjini Judiya nitume na, i vayi ri mena ye njitre, koka trekpe meme nitume na.
But they said to him: We neither received letters concerning thee from Judea, neither did any of the brethren that came hither, relate or speak any evil of thee.
22 Ama kison wo rjini wu mren me nitu igrji yi, nitu ki to ndi ba tre meme kaagon nitu ma.”
But we desire to hear of thee what thou thinkest; for as concerning this sect, we know that it is every where contradicted.
23 Niwa ba yo vi niwu, indji gbugbuwu bari ba ye niwu, ni bubu son ma. A bhwu hla tu trea ni bawu, nda ni vubla nitu ikoson Irji. A ta son gbron sron mba yo rjini du Musa mba rjini anabawa ba, rjini mble kari ni yalu.
And when they had appointed him a day, there came very many to him unto his lodgings; to whom he expounded, testifying the kingdom of God, and persuading them concerning Jesus, out of the law of Moses and the prophets, from morning until evening.
24 Bari ba kpanyme ni kpiwa ki tre ni tumba, i bari bana kpanyme na.
And some believed the things that were said; but some believed not.
25 Niwa bana kpany'me ni kpamba na, ba hi kpamba hu wa Bulus a tre lan tre riri yi. “Ibrji Tsatsra a tre bi, zuni nyu anabawa baba manzani ba hi ni ba titimbi.
And when they agreed not among themselves, they departed, Paul speaking this one word: Well did the Holy Ghost speak to our fathers by Isaias the prophet,
26 A tre ndi, hi ni indji biyi ndi hi hla ndi, “Ni si wo, bi wo, i bina to tuma na; mba nisi to bi to, i bina to nkon ma na.
Saying: Go to this people, and say to them: With the ear you shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing you shall see, and shall not perceive.
27 Nitu dri indji biyi a ti bwu, mba ni iton mba, bana mla wo na, mba ba kaa shishi mba hama ki ba ma to ni shishi mba, nda wo ni iton mba, nda to tuma ni dri mba nda kma sran ngari, i mi nuba sikpa.'”
For the heart of this people is grown gross, and with their ears have they heard heavily, and their eyes they have shut; lest perhaps they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
28 Nitu kima, bika to ndi kpachuwo Irji yi, ba truu hini bikora ba, i ba wo'u.”
Be it known therefore to you, that this salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it.
29 Ndu Manzani, 28:29 - tre vunvu bari wu sen ba heni nklan 29: / Niwa a tre kpi biyi, Yahudawa ba ba hi kpamba. Ba sia he ni kikle sen nyu ni kpamba. /
And when he had said these things, the Jews went out from him, having much reasoning among themselves.
30 Bulus a son wu se ha wawu ni kowa a han nklen ki kima, nda ta kpa ni wo ha, biwa ba ye niwu'a.
And he remained two whole years in his own hired lodging; and he received all that came in to him,
31 A sia dbu bla nitu ikoson Irji nda ta tsro ikpi nitu Bachi Yesu Kristi ni gbengblen sron hama ni ndrjo ata zuu.
Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, without prohibition.
