Ndu Manzaniba 4
1 Niwa ba Bitrus mba Yohana ba kia tre ni ndhi ba, ba prist ni kaptin bi yatsro ni haikalia ni ba saducis ba wru sru niha.
While they were talking to the people, the priests, the captain of the Temple guard, and the Sadducees came up to them.
2 Sisiri ni nfu a vu ba nitu tsro wa ba Bitrus mba Yohana baa kia dibu ni bla nitu Yesu ni lundema rhi ni que.
They were angry that they were teaching the people, telling them that through Jesus there is resurrection from the dead.
3 Ba vu ba nda njiba ka tro zi nrable ka tu yalu a tiye.
They arrested them and placed them under guard until the following day since it was already evening.
4 Ndhi gbugbuwu nimi biwa bawo tu tre, ba kpanyme, ndhi lilon wa ba kpatre chachu ki bana mla dubu ton.
But many who had heard the message believed it, and the total number of believers grew to about five thousand.
5 Ni ble ma, bi ninkon wu gbu baba datibe ni kikle bi nha ba yo kpambe nde ye kuson ni Urishilima.
The next day, the rulers, elders, and religious leaders met together in Jerusalem.
6 Annas nkon prist wawu a he niki, mba Caiaphas u Yohana ni Alexandar niba mla nikon prist'a.
They included the high priest Annas, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and others of the high priest's family.
7 Ba yo Bitrus mba Yohana ye zini tsutsumba nda mye ba ndi, “Ni gbengble koka ni nde nhamba bi ti kpeyi?”
They brought Peter and John before them and asked, “By what power or by whose authority have you done this?”
8 Peter a lu kri, shuni Ruhu tsatsra nda tre ni ndi ba. “Biyi bininko ya gbu baba datibe,
Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, answered them. “Rulers of the people, and elders:
9 idan ki si bla tre ndi ni han tre ni tu kpe ndi ndi wa w ti ni ndhi wu lilo, mba kawa igua tinche ri nda kpa si kpama?
Are we being interrogated regarding a good deed done to a man who couldn't help himself, and how he came to be healed?
10 Be ka mla to, wawu bi, ni ndi Israila wawu idu yi wa kri ni shishinbe risi kpa a nitu nde Yesu Kristi ba Nazarat, wandi bi gran wu har wowu ama Irjhi a nzu lunde baya wa a qu.
If so, all of you should know, and all the people of Israel, that it was in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the one you killed on a cross and whom God raised from the dead—it's because of him that this man stands before you completely healed.
11 Yesu Kristi wa wuyi a bi tita wa bi kambi ni wu wa k'ma ti tita wu zontu mme'a.
‘He is the stone you builders rejected, but he has been made the chief cornerstone.’
12 Kpachuwo na la he ni nde ndiori nga nitu nde ri na la he ni gbugdu ko ni shulu wa ba no ndhi ri wandi a ni kpa ndi chuwo'a na.
There is no salvation in anyone else; there is no other name under heaven given to humanity that can possibly save us.”
13 Niwa ba to tre u gbengblem suron Bitrus mba Yohana, mba nda mla to ndi bana bla tsro yi gbagban mu na kpe a nuba mamki, nitu ndi Bitrus mba Yohana ba mirko Yesu.
When they saw Peter and John's confidence, and realized they were uneducated, ordinary men, they were very surprised. They also recognized them as Jesus' companions.
14 Nitu ba to igu wa a kpa si kpama a kri ni mimba, bana la he ni kpewa ba tre ba tre ngana.
Since they could see the man who had been healed standing right there with them, they had nothing to say in response to what had happened.
15 Ba zu manzaniba du ba rhu dinko bawu ni meetiy nda k'ma ki tre ni kpamba.
So they instructed them to wait outside the council while they discussed the matter among themselves.
16 Ba tre ndi “Khi ti ndi biyi ne he?” ni kikle kpe yi wa ba ti, a kri ndendeme ni ko nha wa ani son ni Urishilima du to, kina kpatron na.
“What should we do with these men?” they asked. “We can't deny a significant miracle has happened through them. Everybody living here in Jerusalem knows about it.
17 Ama don du tre a na hi gbagbanmu du ndhi wo na, ki feba ton ni du bana la tre nda tsro ndhi ni ndeyi ngana.”
But to prevent it spreading among the people any further, we should threaten them never to speak to anybody in this name again.”
18 Mle ba yo ba ri nda mam ba ndu ba na tre ko tsro ndi memlemu ni nde Yesu na.
So they called them back in and ordered them never to speak or teach in the name of Jesus again.
19 U ba Bitrus mba Yohana ba sa bawu ndi, “ka ani bi ni shishi Irjhi du ta hu tre mbi ko ka ko hu wu ma.
But Peter and John responded, “Whether it's right in God's eyes to obey you rather than God—you decide.
20 biyi kimbi, ga trea. “Kita kina donme ni bla kpe wa ki to ni shishi mbu, ni wo ni ton mbu na.”
We can't help talking about what we've seen and heard!”
21 Niwwa ba mam ba Bitrus mba Yohana, ba chuba chuwo du ba hi kpamba. Ba wa kpewa ba vu ba lo han ma, domin ndhi ba wawu ba sita gbre Rji san nitu kpe, wa a ti'a.
After making more threats they let them go. They couldn't work out how to punish them because everyone was glorifying God for what had happened.
22 Igu wa a kpa si kpama ana zan ise arbain ni ngrhi.
For the man who received this miracle of healing was more than forty years old.
23 Niwa ba chuba chuwoa, Bitrus mba Yohana ba hi ndhi mba, nda ka bla kpe wa bi Ninkon prist baba datibe wawu ba lha ba wua.
After the disciples had been released, they went to the other believers and told them everything the chief priests and elders had said to them.
24 Ba wo naki da nzu lan mba nitu kpe riri ni Irjhi nda tre ndi, Baci, wu ti gbungblu shulu mba meme, mba teju ni kpi wa ba he ni mimba.
When they heard what had happened, they prayed to God together: “Lord, you made heaven and earth and sea, and everything that is in them.
25 Wu tre ni Ruhu Tsatsra ni nyu vreko ndu me, timbu Dauda, 'A hi ngye du gbungblu bi ko ra ba gbra nfu u ndhi ba ba rhimre kpi wa bana he nituna?'
You spoke by the Holy Spirit through David, our forefather and your servant, saying ‘Why did the people of the other nations become so angry? Why did they plot so foolishly against me?
26 Wu tre ndi, “Bi chu wu gbungblu meme ba bitu mba ni buburiri, bi ninkon gbu agame ba zon tu mba nitu Baci, mba nitu kiristi ma
The kings of the earth prepared for war; the rulers united together against the Lord and against his Chosen One.’
27 Toki Hiridus mba Bilatus ba zontu baba ndhi bi kora ni ndhi bi Israila ni mi gbuyi, nitu tsatsra wunduma Yesu, wa wu sawo wu ni tuma.
Now this has really happened right here in this city! Both Herod and Pontius Pilate, together with the foreigners and the people of Israel, united together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed as Messiah.
28 Ba zontu ni buburiri ni duba ti kpi wa a wume mba wa wu mla yo zi ndi du ka ye he toki ni shishi.
They did whatever you had already decided because you had the power and the will to do it.
29 Zizan, Baci, ya ni meme shirjhi mba ndi zo mirko ndume duba lha lantre me ni gbengble suron.
Now Lord: look at all their threats against us! Help us your servants to speak your word really boldly.
30 Nina wo me du no si kpanda tsro kpi wa bana zi he na ni nde tsatsra wundu me Yesu.
As you exercise your power to heal, may signs and miracles be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus!”
31 Niwa ba kle bre'a bubu wa ba ki wawumbawu a lu grjhu u. Ruhu Tsatsra a ri ni kowani rimba, mle ba lu si tre lan tre Irjhi ni gbengblen suron.
When they had finished praying, the building they were meeting in was shaken. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke the word of God boldly.
32 Ikpa'a ndhi biwa ba kpanyme nda yo suron mba ni dri mba riri. ndio na tre ndi ikpe wa wu he niwu a hi wu ma ni nklemana, ba nji ko ngye ye bubu riri nda tindu niwu toki.
All the believers thought and felt the same way. None of them claimed anything they had as their own, but shared everything with each other.
33 Ni kikle gbengblen manzaniba ba ki d'bu nda bla ikpiwa ba to nitu tas'me Baci Yesu, ni kikle k'ma sran wu son nitu mba wawu.
The apostles gave their testimony regarding the resurrection of the Lord Jesus with tremendous power, and God greatly blessed them all.
34 Ba ndhi ri nimimba wa a wakpe wandi a ni son'a hama, nitu biwa bana he ni ba Ithu ko ni ba ko ba vuba le nda nji nkle ye sru ni bubu riri,
None of them needed anything because those who had lands or properties sold them.
35 ni za manzaniba ndi duba ga ni ko nha tsra ni kpe wa ani son'a.
They took the proceeds and presented them to the apostles to be shared with those in need.
36 Yusufu wa manzaniba bata you ndi Barnabas wandi bati k'ma sran ani vren wu igrhi Levi, ndhi wu Cyprus.
Joseph, the one the apostles called Barnabas (meaning “son of encouragement”), was a Levite, a Cypriot national.
37 a ban ngbran meme le nda nji nkle ye sa ni za manzaniba.
He sold a field that belonged to him. Then he brought the money and presented it to the apostles.
