Ndu Manzaniba 8
1 Shawulu a nyme ngame ni kwu ma, nitu ki nivi baki, kikle watu ni ya a vu Ekklisiya wa a he ni Urishilima, u biwa ba kpatre Rji nda nyme niwu, ba vra ga ni gbungblu wu Judea mba Samaria, nda don manzaniba meyen.
And Saul was consenting unto his death. And there was a great persecution in that day against the church in Jerusalem: and all were dispersed abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.
2 Ndhi bi hu ngyengre me ba ban Istifanus ka rhu nda son ndayi kpukpeme.
And godly men buried Stephen, and made great mourning over him.
3 Ama Shawulu a kri gbangban nda ni so kpa Ikklisiya meme. Ata ri ni ko niko nda gbi lilon baba mmba, nda tru ba sru niko u tro.
But Saul was laying waste the church, entering into the houses, and arresting men and women, he committed them to prison.
4 Na kima me biwa ba kpa nyeme nda vera hi kankan ba zren zita bla lan trea.
Therefore indeed, being dispersed abroad, they went everywhere preaching the word:
5 Filibus a grjhi hi ni kikle gbu wu Samaria ndaka d'bu bla nibawu nitu kristi.
and Philip, having gone down to the city of Samaria, was preaching Christ to them,
6 Kpaandhi ba ki si sren ton ni tre wa Filibus a si bla'a, ni yo sron ni bubu riri, ba wowu nda toh kpi bi tsro-ya wa'a ti'a.
And the multitudes were unanimously giving heed to the things spoken by Philip, while they were hearing and seeing the miracles which he was performing.
7 Meme brji ba rhurhi ni mi ndhi gbugbuu wa ana hon son ni mimba, nda ni yi ni kri gro nikle lan, ndhi bi lilo chon gble, ndana zrenna ba kpa si kpamba.
For many of those having unclean spirits, roaring with a loud voice, went out: and many paralyzed and lame were healed;
8 Nituki ndhi bi gbuu'a ba ngri kpukpome.
and there was great joy in that city.
9 Ni gbukima, ndhiri a he wandi ba yo ndema ndiSiman, wa ata tsro ka, nda ni kandhi tsi shishi nda gyur. Bi Samaria du ba baniwu ti ndriori ninkon.
And a certain man, by name Simon, was formerly practicing magic in the city, and bewitching the nation of Samaria, saying that himself was some great man:
10 Wawu ndhi bi Samaria, rhini bi tsitsa hi ni bi ninkon mba, bata sren ton niwu ndatre ndi “Gu yi a gbengblen irjhi wa ba yo Azangbengble”
to whom all from small even unto the great gave heed, saying, This one is the power of God, called Great.
11 Ba yo ton ni trema nitu wa rhi ni dedewa azi tsibashishi nidu ka'a wa a ta tsro ba.
And they gave heed to him, because for a long time he had deceived them with his magic arts.
12 Ama niwa ba kpa tre wa Filibus a sia d'bu lha nitu tre ndindi wu Irji mba nde Yesu. Kristi, ba vu ba ti baptisma, lilon baba mmba wawumbawu.
But when they believed Philip preaching the gospel concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.
13 Siman ngame a kpanyme. Hu gon baptisma ma, a kha ta son zuni Filibus mu. Niwa a toh kpi bi tsro-ya baba kikle ndu wa a si'ahe, a bwu nguyo ni w'ho.
But Simon himself also believed: and being baptized, was constantly with Philip, both seeing the miracles and the great dynamites performed, was astonished.
14 Niwa manzani ba ni Urishilima ba wo ndi Samaria ba kpa lantre Irji, ba ton Bitrus mba Yonana hi ni ba.
But the apostles in Jerusalem, having heard that Samaria has received the word of God, sent to them Peter and John:
15 Niwa ba grjhiye, ba bre Rji ni bawu, ndi du ba kpa Ruhu Tsatsra.
who, having come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost.
16 Nitu, ye niton kima, Ruhu tsatsra na ri he wu grjhiri ni ba, bana kpa baptisma ni nde Bachi Yesu megen.
For he had not yet fallen on any of them: but they were only baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
17 Mle Bitrus mba Yohana ba sa wo nitumba, U ba kpa ruhu tsatsra'a.
Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
18 Niwa Siman a to ndi ba nu Ruhu Tsatsra niwa ba manzani ba ba sawo nitumba, a chu nkle ni nuba.
But Simon seeing that by the laying on of the hands of the apostles the Spirit was given, offered them money, saying,
19 A tre ndi “Ne gbengle kima ngame, wandi mita sawo nitu ko nha, wa ka kpa Ruhu Tsatsra”
Give me this power, that on whomsoever I may lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
20 Ama Bitrus a lha niwu ndi “Du nkle silva me qu timeme ni wu, nitu wu ya ndi wu iya kpa Kyauta Irji ni nklen.
And Peter said to him, Thy silver be unto destruction with thee, because thou hast thought to obtain the gift of God with money.
21 Wuna he ni rabo ni kpeyina, don suron me na he bi ni irji na.
There is neither part nor lot to thee in this word: for thy heart is not right before God.
22 Nitu kima, U ka don meme dri me ndi bre Baci, nidu anita kpayeme ani wrulhe, meme kpe wa wuna yo suron ni wu'a.
Therefore repent of this thy wickedness, and pray the Lord, if perchance the thought of thy heart shall be forgiven thee;
23 Mi to ndi wu he ni mi ntson lo suron mba ni nkon meme.
for I see thou art in the gall of bitterness and the bond of iniquity.
24 Siman k'ma sawu ndi “bre Bachi nimu, du ko kpe riri wa wu tre na hon nitumuna.
And Simon responding said, You pray to the Lord for me, in order that none of these things of which you have spoken may come upon me.
25 Niwa ba bla kpe wa ba to'a nda tre lantre Bacia, Bitrus mba Yohanna ba k'ma ni hi Urishilima, nda zi bla trendindi ni kauyuka gbu bi Samaria.
Then indeed, witnessing and speaking the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel to many villages of the Samaritans.
26 Zizan, malaika Baci a tre ni Filibus ndi “Lunde ndi hu nkon wa grjhi hi kogbo, wa a kru grjhi rhini Urishilima hi ni Gaza (Nkon yi hi ni hammada).
And the angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise, and go towards the south unto the way going down from Jerusalem to Gaza; the same is desert.
27 A lunde nda ku nko hi. Nikima aka zontu ni guri, wa a rhini Ethiopia, dandandu wa wu kikle ma'aji u Candace Samariya wu Ethiopia. Wawu yi kpi bi yo suron wa'a bana he ni woma. Ana ye ni Urishilima nda ni ye hi sujada.
And rising up, he departed. And, behold, an Ethiopian man, a eunuch, an officer of Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasury, had been to Jerusalem to worship,
28 A k'ma tahi nda son ni ng'ma wu hon ma nda sia karanta tre anabi Ishaya.
and was returning, and sitting upon his chariot he was reading the prophet Isaiah.
29 Ruhu Rji a lha ni Filibus ndi “hi ni bubu wa a hea, ni hi kri nha ni ng'ma hu henma”.
And the Spirit said to Philip, Go, and join yourself to that chariot.
30 Niki filibus a tsutsu hi niwa, nda wo a sia bla tre anabi Ishaya, nda mye “ka U mla to kpewa u si bla'a?”.
And Philip running forth, heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said; Whether do you understand what you are reading?
31 Wa a kri sa wu ndi, “Mi tihe hama ni du ndior ye tsro me?” A yo Filibus du hon hi ni wu niti ng'ma, nda hi kuson nha niwu.
And he said, How could I, unless some one shall guide me? And he called upon Philip coming up, to sit with him;
32 Zizan bubu vunvu wu lantre wa lgu Ethiopia a sia bla ana to yi, “Ba vu gbron si hi to nt'ma wa ba jiwu hi han, mba toh vivre nt'ma wa a kri ni gbamgbi ni mi biwa ba si le niwu'a niki ana bwu nyuma.
and the place of the scripture which he was reading was this, He was led like a sheep to the slaughter; and as a lamb before the one shearing him is dumb, so he opens not his mouth.
33 Ni mi yama, gatre wu janji ama iba ban meme no nha ni to bla nitu biwa baka rhurhini wu, hpu ma. Ba ban vrima rhurini meme.
In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare His generation? because his life is taken from the earth.
34 Wame Dandaudu a mye Filibus ndi, “mi bre'u, hla mu, anabi si tre nitu nha? nitu kpamamu ka nitu ndiori kan?
And the eunuch responding to Philip, said, I pray thee, concerning whom does the prophet speak this? concerning himself, or some other man?
35 Filibus a lu si tre, rhi ni lantre yi wu vunvu tre Rji nda bla ndidi tre nitu Yesu niwu.
Philip opening his mouth, and beginning from the same scripture, preached Jesus to him.
36 Niwa ba kihi ni nkon, ba ye tsra ni bubu ma ri'u Dandaudu a tre ndi “Toh, imma he yi, naye ni zuudu ti baptisma nimu na?
And while they were journeying along the road, they came to a certain water: and the eunuch says, Behold water; what doth hinder me from being baptized?
37 Chiche vunvu bi sen wu bi ma, bana he ni ndan na. Filibus a tre ndi, “wuta kpanyeme ni suron me ki ti baptisma niwu “Dandaudu a k'ma sawu ndi mi kpanyme ndi Yesu Kristi a hi vren irji.
38 Niki, dandaudu a du ngma kukri. Ba grjhi hi ni mi mma. Filibus mba dandauda, U Filibus a ti baptisma niwu.
And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they both came down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
39 Niwa ba hon wru rhi ni mi mma'a, ruhu Rji a nzu Filibis hi kado, u dandaudu ana la too ngana, ama a vu nkoma si hi nda ngiri.
And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip; and the eunuch saw him no more: for he went on his way rejoicing.
40 Filibus aka rhu kri ni azotus, nda zren zu ni gbungblu ki, nda ni d'bu bla tre ndidi ni gbu biki, har nda ka kri ni caesaria.
And Philip was found at Azotus: and going through he preached the gospel to all the cities, until he came to Caesarea.
