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 Peter and John were still speaking to the people, the Chief Priest, with the Officer in charge at the Temple 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.
much annoyed because they were teaching the people, and because, through Jesus, they were preaching the resurrection from the dead.
3 Ba vu ba nda njiba ka tro zi nrable ka tu yalu a tiye.
They arrested the Apostles and, as it was already evening, had them placed in custody till the next day.
4 Ndhi gbugbuwu nimi biwa bawo tu tre, ba kpanyme, ndhi lilon wa ba kpatre chachu ki bana mla dubu ton.
Many, however, of those who had heard the Apostles’ Message became believers in Christ, the number of the men alone amounting 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, a meeting of the leading men, the Councillors, and the Teachers of the Law was held in Jerusalem.
6 Annas nkon prist wawu a he niki, mba Caiaphas u Yohana ni Alexandar niba mla nikon prist'a.
There were present Annas the High Priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and all who were of High-Priestly rank.
7 Ba yo Bitrus mba Yohana ye zini tsutsumba nda mye ba ndi, “Ni gbengble koka ni nde nhamba bi ti kpeyi?”
They had Peter and John brought before them, and questioned them. “By what power,” they asked, “Or in whose name have men like you done this thing?”
8 Peter a lu kri, shuni Ruhu tsatsra nda tre ni ndi ba. “Biyi bininko ya gbu baba datibe,
On this, Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, spoke as follows: “Leaders of the people and Councillors,
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?
since we are on our trial to-day for a kind act done to a helpless man, and are asked in what way the man here before you has 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.
let me tell you all and all the people of Israel, that it is by the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified and whom God raised from the dead — it is, I say, by his Name that this man stands here before you lame no longer.
11 Yesu Kristi wa wuyi a bi tita wa bi kambi ni wu wa k'ma ti tita wu zontu mme'a.
Jesus is ‘the stone which, scorned by you the builders, has yet become the corner stone.’
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.
And Salvation is in him alone; for there is no other Name in the whole world, given to men, to which we must look for our Salvation.”
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 the Council saw how boldly Peter and John spoke, and found that they were uneducated men of humble station, they were surprised, and realised that they had been 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, when they looked at the man who had been healed, standing there with them, they had nothing to say.
15 Ba zu manzaniba du ba rhu dinko bawu ni meetiy nda k'ma ki tre ni kpamba.
So they ordered them out of court, and then began consulting 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 are we to do to these men?” they asked one another. “That a remarkable sign has been given through them is obvious to every one living in Jerusalem, 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, to prevent this thing from spreading further among the people, let us warn them not to speak in this Name any more to any one whatever.”
18 Mle ba yo ba ri nda mam ba ndu ba na tre ko tsro ndi memlemu ni nde Yesu na.
So they called the Apostles in, and ordered them not to speak or 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 replied: “Whether it is right, in the sight of God, to listen to you rather than to him —
20 biyi kimbi, ga trea. “Kita kina donme ni bla kpe wa ki to ni shishi mbu, ni wo ni ton mbu na.”
Judge for yourselves, for we cannot help speaking of 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.
However, after further warnings, the Council set them at liberty, not seeing any safe way of punishing them, because of the people, for they were all praising God for what had occurred;
22 Igu wa a kpa si kpama ana zan ise arbain ni ngrhi.
for the man who was the subject of this miraculous cure 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 they had been set at liberty, the Apostles went to their friends and told them what the Chief Priests and the Councillors 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.
All who heard their story, moved by a common impulse, raised their voices to God in prayer: “O Sovereign Lord, it is you who has ‘made the heavens, the earth, the 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?'
And who, by the lips of our ancestor, your servant David, who spoke under the influence of the Holy Spirit, have said — ‘Why did the nations rage, And the peoples form vain designs?
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 their array, And its rulers 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.
There have indeed gathered together in this city against your holy Servant Jesus, whom you has consecrated the Christ, not Herod and Pontius Pilate only, but the nations and the people of Israel besides —
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.
Yet only to do what thou, by thy power and of thy own will, didst long ago destine to be done.
29 Zizan, Baci, ya ni meme shirjhi mba ndi zo mirko ndume duba lha lantre me ni gbengble suron.
Now, therefore, O Lord, mark their threats, and enable thy servants, with all fearlessness, to tell thy Message,
30 Nina wo me du no si kpanda tsro kpi wa bana zi he na ni nde tsatsra wundu me Yesu.
while thou stretchest out thy hand to heal, and causest signs and wonders to take place 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 their prayer was ended, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to tell God’s Message fearlessly.
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.
The whole body of those who had become believers in Christ were of one heart and mind. Not one of them claimed any of his goods as his own, but everything was held for the common use.
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 continued with great power to bear their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God’s blessing rested upon them all abundantly.
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 in need among them, for all who were owners of land or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the sales
35 ni za manzaniba ndi duba ga ni ko nha tsra ni kpe wa ani son'a.
And laid them at the Apostles’ feet; and then every one received a share in proportion to his wants.
36 Yusufu wa manzaniba bata you ndi Barnabas wandi bati k'ma sran ani vren wu igrhi Levi, ndhi wu Cyprus.
A Levite of Cyprian birth, named Joseph, (who had received from the Apostles the additional name of ‘Barnabas’ — which means ‘The Consoler,’)
37 a ban ngbran meme le nda nji nkle ye sa ni za manzaniba.
Sold a farm that belonged to him, and brought the money and laid it at the Apostles’ feet.
