Ndu Manzaniba 28
1 Niwa ba nji ta ye ri pian me, ki wo ndi ba yo nklan meme ki ndi Malta.
AND afterwards we learned that Melita was called that island.
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 Barbaroyee who dwelt in it many kindnesses showed us. And they kindled a fire, and called all of us to warm, because there was great 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 Paulos took many sticks and placed upon the fire; and there came forth a viper from the heat of the fire, and bit (him) in 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 Barbaroyee saw it hang upon his hand, they said, Perhaps this man is a murderer, whom, though he is escaped from the sea, justice suffereth not to live.
5 I niki a kpon nma yo nimi lu'a hama ni du kpe tiwu.
But Paulos shook his hand, and cast the viper into the fire, and nothing of evil befell him.
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 the Barbaroyee expected that he would immediately have swelled and fallen dead upon the ground; and when they had for a great while expected and saw that nothing of evil befell him, they changed their words, and said 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 there were possessions in that place (belonging) to a certain man whose name was Publios, who himself was the chief of the island; and he cheerfully received us into his house 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.
But the father of Publios was ill in a fever, and a disease of the bowels. And Paulos went in to him, and prayed and laid his hand on him, and 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 when this was done, the rest also of them who were diseased in the island came to him and were cured.
10 Indji ba ngame ba nzu hon gbugbuwu. Niwa kita mla ku nkon dran, ba nuta kpi wa ki son a.
And with great honours they honoured us; and when we went forth from thence they supplied us.
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.
But we went forth after three months and voyaged in an Alexandrine ship which had wintered at the island; and she had upon her the sign of the Twins.
12 Ka huki, ki ye grji ki ni gbu Sirakus, ki kii niki wu vi tra.
And we came to Sarakosa the city, and remained 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.
And from thence we went round and came to Regium the city. And after one day the south wind blew, and in two days we came to Putialos, a city of Italia.
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.
And we found there brethren, and they prayed of us, and we were with them seven days, and then went we unto Ruma.
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 when the brethren who were there heard, they came forth to meet us unto the street that is called Apios Foros, and unto the Three Taverns. And when Paulos saw them he thanked Aloha, and was strengthened.
16 Niwa ki rini mi Roma, ba kpanyme ni Bulus du son ni nklenma mba soja wa ata kri yau.
And we entered Ruma. And the centurion allowed Paulos to sojourn where he willed, with the soldier, him who guarded 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 three days Paulos sent to convoke the principal men of the Jihudoyee; and when they were assembled, he said to them, Men, brethren, I, who in nothing have risen against the people, nor the law of our fathers, in bonds was delivered from Urishlem into the hands of the Rumoyee.
18 Hugon myeme tre, ba ta son chume chuwo, nitu bana to kpe wa ba han hukunchi kwu ni tu tre mu.
And they who examined me willed to dismiss me, because they found not in me any fault worthy of death.
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 when the Jihudoyee had risen against me, I was constrained to call the appeal of Caesar; (yet) not as though I had in any thing to be the accuser of the sons of my people.
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.”
Wherefore I have besought you to come, that I might see you, and declare to you these things; for on account of the hope of Israel am I 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.
They said to him, We have not received letters concerning thee from Jihud, and none of the brethren who have come from Urishlem have spoken any thing 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 are willing to hear from thee what it is that thou thinkest; for we know that this doctrine is by no man received.
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 they appointed him a day; and many assembled and came where he sojourned; and he explained to them concerning the kingdom of Aloha, testifying and persuading them concerning Jeshu, from the law of Musha and from the prophets, from the morning until the evening.
24 Bari ba kpanyme ni kpiwa ki tre ni tumba, i bari bana kpanyme na.
And some of them were persuaded by his words, and others were not persuaded.
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 removed from him, while not agreeing together. And Paulos said to them this word, Well spake the Spirit of Holiness, by the mouth of Eshaia the prophet, against your fathers,
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 unto this people, and say unto them, Hearing, you will hear and will not understand. And you will see, but not discern:
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 stupified is the heart of this people, And their hearing they have made heavy, And their eyes have they closed, Lest they should see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their hearts, And be turned unto me, and I should forgive them.
28 Nitu kima, bika to ndi kpachuwo Irji yi, ba truu hini bikora ba, i ba wo'u.”
Be this therefore known to you, that to the Gentiles is sent this redemption, for they will also 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. /
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 Paulos hired his own house, and was in it two years, and received there all those who came 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.
And he preached concerning the kingdom of Aloha, and taught with confidence concerning our Lord Jeshu Meshiha, none forbidding.
