Ndu Manzaniba 3
1 Niki Bitrus mba yohanna basiya hon ni hi ni tra Rji ninton wu bre, mton wu tiya.
One day Peter and John were going up to the Temple for the hour of prayer--the ninth hour--and, just then,
2 Ba zontu ni ndhi ri, wa a chon kple rhini nine yimma, ba banu bibanmu ye zi ni kikle nkontra hekali wa ba yondi, “wu bi”. Ba ta kau zi niki chachu ni du ta bre biwa ba si rinimi hekalia.
some men were carrying there one who had been lame from birth, whom they were wont to place every day close to the Beautiful Gate (as it was called) of the Temple, for him to beg from the people as they went in.
3 Niwa a to Bitrus mba Yohana Basia rini hi nimi hekalia a bre ba du ba nuu kpe.
Seeing Peter and John about to go into the Temple, he asked them for alms.
4 Bitrus a yo shishi nda gba a me mba Yohana niki, nda tre ndi, “ya ta”.
Peter fixing his eyes on him, as John did also, said, "Look at us."
5 Ndi wa chon kple'a nzu shishi nda yaba ni yo suron da ni kpakpe ni womba.
So he looked and waited, expecting to receive something from them.
6 Ama Bitrus tre ndi “mina he ni silva mba Zinariya na, ikpe wa mihe niwu, mi nu. Ni nde Yesu Kristi wu Nazarat, lu zren”
"I have no silver or gold," Peter said, "but what I have, I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene-- walk!"
7 Bitrus a tiwo vu u ni woma wu ko rhi da nzu u lunde, mle iza mba toza ma ba sen ququ.
Then taking his hand Peter lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankles were strengthened.
8 Gurugu mba a duo lunde kri nda ni zren; nda rhi hu ba Bitrus mba Yohana hinimi haikalia, ni zren da za ndani yose wu gbre Irjhi san
Leaping up, he stood upright and began to walk, and went into the Temple with them, walking, leaping, and praising God.
9 Ndhi ba wawumbawu ba too si zren ndani yose u gbre Rji san.
All the people saw him walking and praising God;
10 Ba ya nda to ahi gu wa atason ndani bre nkle ni kikle nkontra haikali wa ba yondi nkontra wu bi a sisiri ni mre a shubawu ni suron nitu kpe wa ba to ni igu'a.
and recognizing him as the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple asking for alms, they were filled with awe and amazement at what had happened to him.
11 Niwa a si hu za Bitrus mba Yohana, ndhi ba ba tsutsu hi riba ni nkalhang nyunko wa ba yo hihiwu Sulemanu a ndani bwu nyu yo ni wuo nitu kikle kpe wa a he nitu ma'a.
While he still clung to Peter and John, the people, awe-struck, ran up crowding round them in what was known as Solomon's Portico.
12 Niwa Bitrus a to toki, a sa ni ndhi ba ndi. “Biyi Ndi lilon bi Israila, a ngye du yi ni bwunyu ni yo ni wuho? Nitu nagye bi sru shishi nita, rhuto kitaayi ki du gua lu zren ni gbengblen mbu koka ni gbugblu mbu
Peter, seeing this, spoke to the people. "Israelites," he said, "why do you wonder at this man? Or why gaze at us, as though by any power or piety of our own we had enabled him to walk?
13 Irjhi wu Ibrahim, mba wu Ishaku, ni wu Yakubu, Irjhi wu ba timbu, wawuyi a gbre veren ma Yesu san. Wa wuyi bina vuu lo di kaambi ni wu ni shishi Pilate, wa a ta son shu chuwo'a.
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our forefathers, has conferred this honour on His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and disowned in the presence of Pilate, when he had decided to let Him go.
14 Bi kanmbi ni Tsatra mba wa a hamma ni atre, ni mye du ba chundhi wa a wuu ndi mu chuwo niyiwu.
Yes, you disowned the holy and righteous One, and asked as a favour the release of a murderer.
15 Bi wuu wa ivri rhurhi niwu, wandi jrjhi a nzu lunde baya qu-e kita ki bi wa kito ni shishimbu.
The Prince of Life you put to death; but God has raised Him from the dead, and we are witnesses as to that.
16 Nitu kpanyme ni suron riri ni ndema; ndema a du guyi, wa bisi ya ni to ou, a lu kri ni gbengblen ma. kpanyme ma ni Yesu a nu si kpa ni shishi mbi wawu.
It is His name-- faith in that name being the condition--which has strengthened this man whom you behold and know; and the faith which He has given has made this man sound and strong again, as you can all see.
17 Zizan, mir vayi mi to ndi, bi na tona biyi baba bininko mbi, ekpe wa bi tio.
"And now, brethren, I know that it was in ignorance that you did it, as was the case with your rulers also.
18 Ama kpe wa Irjhi ana lhazi ni nyu anabawama, ndi kristi ni ti ya, kima a ye ku tou ki.
But in this way God has fulfilled the declarations He made through all the Prophets, that His Christ would suffer.
19 Kima gon nu latre di du ba wru latre mbe hlega.
Repent, therefore, and reform your lives, so that the record of your sins may be cancelled, and that there may come seasons of revival from the Lord,
20 Niton wa bi he tare ni Baci wa a ni ton kristi wa a mla yo ni yiwu Yesu.
and that He may send the Christ appointed beforehand for you--even Jesus.
21 Wa wuyi shulu ni kpa har hi ni nton wa kpi ba k'ma ye ti ndidi Irjhi a tre nisen, ni nyu tsatra anabawa ma'a. (aiōn g165)
Heaven must receive Him until those times of which God has spoken from the earliest ages through the lips of His holy Prophets--the times of the reconstitution of all things. (aiōn g165)
22 Musa a hla ndi. “Baci Irjhi ni nzu anabi grji kama too me nimi mir vayimbi. Bi woowu ni kpi wa ani tre yiwu nitu mba.
Moses declared, "'The Lord your God will raise up a Prophet for you from among your brethren as He has raised me. In all that He says to you, you must listen to Him.
23 Andi ko nah wa a kama bubu wotre anabi kima, ba gbron ba lhe penpenme ni mi mbru ndhi
And every one, without exception, who refuses to listen to that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the People.'
24 A toki, anabawa ba wawu rhi ni samuila nibi ye ni kogonba, ba tre nda d'bu lha vi biyi.
Yes, and all the Prophets, from Samuel onwards--all who have spoken--have also announced the coming of this present time.
25 Bi mi anabawa mba ni shirjhi wa Irjhi a tiniba bacimbi, niwa a lha ni Ibrahim ndi, “Ni zuriya me nnedhi ni gbungblu wawu ba kpa lulu.”
"You are the heirs of the Prophets, and of the Covenant which God made with your forefathers when He said to Abraham, 'And through your posterity all the families of the world shall be blessed.'
26 Ni wa Irjhi a nzu ndi wunduma a tonye niyi guci, nitu du yo lulu niyiwu, ni du konhambi k'ma gon nu meme drimbi.
It is to you first that God, after raising His Servant from the grave, has sent Him to bless you, by causing every one of you to turn from your wickedness."
