Ndu Manzaniba 28
1 Niwa ba nji ta ye ri pian me, ki wo ndi ba yo nklan meme ki ndi Malta.
And having been saved, we recognized that the island is called Melita.
2 Indji bi son niki ba kpata nisron ndindi nda mulu nitawu duta mbru kpa nitu ilu chachu mba isi wa a he niki.
And the barbarians extended no small philanthropy to us: for, having kindled a fire, they received us all to it, on account of the recent rain and 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 Paul having gathered up a certain bundle of sticks, and placed it on the fire, a viper, having come out from 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.”
But when the barbarians saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said to one another, Surely this man is a murderer, whom, having been saved from the sea, justice did not permit to live.
5 I niki a kpon nma yo nimi lu'a hama ni du kpe tiwu.
Then indeed, having shaken off the beast into the fire, he suffered no injury:
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.
and they were looking for him to be about to swell up and suddenly fall down dead. But having looked a long time, and seeing nothing out of place come 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.
But in the regions around about that place there were farms belonging to the chief man of the island, by name Publius: who, having received us, entertained us courteously three days.
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 came to pass, that the father of Publius was lying prostrate with fevers and dysentery: to whom Paul having come in, and prayed, laying hands on him, 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.
And this taking place, the rest also, on the island having diseases, continued to come to him, and be healed;
10 Indji ba ngame ba nzu hon gbugbuwu. Niwa kita mla ku nkon dran, ba nuta kpi wa ki son a.
who also honored us with many honors; and conferred on us, departing, those things appertaining to use.
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 embarked in an Alexandrian ship, having spent the winter in the island, dedicated to the sons of Jupiter.
12 Ka huki, ki ye grji ki ni gbu Sirakus, ki kii niki wu vi tra.
And having disembarked into Syracuse, we remained 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.
thence having come circuitously, we arrived into Rhegium. And after one day there being a south wind, 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 having found brethren, we were entreated to remain with them seven days: and thus we came into 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 the brethren, hearing the news concerning us, came thence to meet us at the Appian Forum and Three Taverns: whom Paul, seeing, having given thanks to God, 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 came into Rome, it was permitted to Paul to remain to himself with the soldier guarding 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 it came to pass, after three days, he called together those who were first of the Jews; and they having assembled, he said to them, I, men, brethren, having done nothing against the people, or the customs of our fathers, was committed a 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 judging me, were counseling to release me, because there was nothing worthy 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.
and the Jews speaking against it, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar, not having anything for which to accuse my nation.
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.”
Then for this cause I have called you, to see you, and talk to you: for on account of 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.
And they said to him, Neither have we received letters from Judea concerning you, neither has any one of the brethren coming, proclaimed or spoken anything evil concerning you.
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 from you what you think: for indeed concerning this sect, it is known to us that it is everywhere spoken against.
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 having appointed a day with him, many came to him into his hired house, to whom witnessing he expounded the kingdom of God, indeed persuading them concerning Jesus, both from the law of Moses, and the prophets, from morning unto evening.
24 Bari ba kpanyme ni kpiwa ki tre ni tumba, i bari bana kpanyme na.
And some of them indeed believed the things spoken, but others continued to doubt;
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 they being disharmonious to one another, dispersed, Paul saying one word, that truly the Holy Ghost spoke through the prophet Isaiah to your fathers, saying,
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.
Go to this people, and say, By hearing ye shall hear, and may not understand; and seeing you shall see, and may 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 waxed gross, and they heard with their ears heavily, and closed their eyes; lest they may see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I shall heal them.
28 Nitu kima, bika to ndi kpachuwo Irji yi, ba truu hini bikora ba, i ba wo'u.”
Therefore let it be known unto you, that this salvation of God is sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear.
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. /
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 spent a whole biennium in his own hired house, and received all those coming 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 those things concerning the Lord Jesus, with all boldness, uninterruptedly.
