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 addressing the people the priests, the commander of the Temple, and the Sadducees came upon 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.
incensed at their teaching the people, and proclaiming, in the case of Jesus, the resurrection from the dead.
3 Ba vu ba nda njiba ka tro zi nrable ka tu yalu a tiye.
They arrested them, and put them in prison till the next day, for 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 of those who had heard the message believed, and the number of the men came to be 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.
There was held in Jerusalem, next morning, a meeting of their rulers, the elders and scribes,
6 Annas nkon prist wawu a he niki, mba Caiaphas u Yohana ni Alexandar niba mla nikon prist'a.
and Annas, the high priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and all the members of the high priests family were present.
7 Ba yo Bitrus mba Yohana ye zini tsutsumba nda mye ba ndi, “Ni gbengble koka ni nde nhamba bi ti kpeyi?”
Then they made the men stand before them and demanded, "By what power, or in what name, have you fellows done this?"
8 Peter a lu kri, shuni Ruhu tsatsra nda tre ni ndi ba. “Biyi bininko ya gbu baba datibe,
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, answered them.
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?
"Rulers and elders of the people, if we are being examined today concerning a benefit conferred upon a cripple, as to how has this man been cured,
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.
"be it known to all of you, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in him does this man stand before you strong and well.
11 Yesu Kristi wa wuyi a bi tita wa bi kambi ni wu wa k'ma ti tita wu zontu mme'a.
"For he is the Stone, cast aside by you builders, which has become the head stone of the corner.
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 any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men, in which we must be saved."
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.
Now when they beheld the glad fearlessness of Peter and John and had perceived that they were amazed; and they began to recognize them, that they were companions of Jesus.
14 Nitu ba to igu wa a kpa si kpama a kri ni mimba, bana la he ni kpewa ba tre ba tre ngana.
But since they saw the man standing with them who had been healed, they had nothing to answer.
15 Ba zu manzaniba du ba rhu dinko bawu ni meetiy nda k'ma ki tre ni kpamba.
So they bade them withdraw from the Sanhedrin, while they conferred together.
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," said they, "shall we do with these men? For it is well known throughout Jerusalem that a notable miracle has been performed by them, and we cannot deny 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 that the matter may spread no further among the people, let us threaten them not to speak to any one hereafter about this name."
18 Mle ba yo ba ri nda mam ba ndu ba na tre ko tsro ndi memlemu ni nde Yesu na.
So they summoned them, and ordered them not to speak at all, nor to teach in the name of Jesus.
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 said in reply. "Do you decide whether in the sight of God it is right to obey you rather than God;
20 biyi kimbi, ga trea. “Kita kina donme ni bla kpe wa ki to ni shishi mbu, ni wo ni ton mbu na.”
but for our part, we cannot help speaking about what we have 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.
So when they had further threatened them they let the apostles go, being quite unable to find any way of punishing them because of the people, for everybody was glorifying God over what had happened.
22 Igu wa a kpa si kpama ana zan ise arbain ni ngrhi.
For the man on whom this miracle of healing had been wrought was over 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.
As soon as the apostles were released, they went to their friends, and told what the high priests and elders had said.
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.
And when they heard it they all lifted up their voices in prayer to God, saying. "O Sovereign Lord, who madest heaven and earth and sea, and all that in them is,
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?'
"who saidest through the Holy Spirit, by the lips of thy servant David, our forefather. "Why did the Gentiles rage, And the peoples form futile plans?
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 set themselves in array, And the rulers were gathered together Against the Lord and against his Christ.
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.
"In this very city they did gather together against thy holy Servant, Jesus whom thou hast anointed - Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and also the tribes of Israel -
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.
"to do all that thy power and thy will had predetermined should be done.
29 Zizan, Baci, ya ni meme shirjhi mba ndi zo mirko ndume duba lha lantre me ni gbengble suron.
"And now Lord, listen to their threats, and grant to thy slaves to proclaim thy message with all boldness,
30 Nina wo me du no si kpanda tsro kpi wa bana zi he na ni nde tsatsra wundu me Yesu.
"whilst thou stretchest forth thy hand to heal; grant too, that signs and wonders may be done through the name of thy 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 prayed, the place where they were gathered was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak the message of the Lord with boldness.
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.
Now the multitude of the believers was of one heart and one soul, nor did any one of them say that any of his possessions was his own; but they had all things common.
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.
And the apostles continued with great power to give their witness concerning the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon 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,
Nor was there any one of them in want, for all who owned houses or lands would sell them and bring the price of the things that were sold, and lay it at the apostles’ feet;
35 ni za manzaniba ndi duba ga ni ko nha tsra ni kpe wa ani son'a.
and distribution would be made to each according to his need.
36 Yusufu wa manzaniba bata you ndi Barnabas wandi bati k'ma sran ani vren wu igrhi Levi, ndhi wu Cyprus.
In this way Joseph, whom the apostles called Barnabas ("Son of Encouragement" is what it means), who was a native Cyprus,
37 a ban ngbran meme le nda nji nkle ye sa ni za manzaniba.
sold a farm which he had, and brought the price, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
