Ndu Manzaniba 9
1 ama shawulu, wa a si gbre que ni mri ko bi hu bacia, hi ni nikon firist
And Saul, still breathing out threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the chief priest,
2 nda ka mye'e du nhavunvu ni du njihi ni tra u bre ni Damascus, don anita katon biwa babi nko a, ni lilon ko mmba, ka vu ba lo njiye ni Urishilima.
and asked of him letters to Damascus, for the synagogues, that, if he should find any who were of this persuasion, either men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3 Niwa a si zren nihi, a ye weiweire ni Damascus ilu kpan a kri bwu kpan kawu, ilua rhi ni shului;
And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus; and suddenly there shone round about him a light from heaven.
4 wa akurhoku hi meme nda wo ilan ni tre niwu ndi “Shawubu, shawulu, a ngye sa wu tsra me ni ya?”
And when he had fallen to the earth, he heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?
5 Shawulu, a sa ndi “wu nha, Baci?” U Baci a tre ndi “A hi me Yesu, wa wusi tsra me ni ya;
He answered: Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said: I am Jesus, whom you persecute.
6 ama lunde, ri hi ni mi gbu'a ba lha kpewa wutia niwu.”
But rise, and go into the city, and it shall be told you what you must do.
7 Ndhi wa basia zren ni shawulu, ba k'ma ki whie me, nda wo lan tre a, ama nda na toh ndioria.
The men who journeyed with him stood amazed; for they heard a voice, but saw no one.
8 Shawulu alu ni meme'a nda niwa u shishi'a ti buwu ana toh kpe na, mle ba vuu njiriwo ri ni Damascus.
And Saul arose from the earth, and when his eyes were opened, he saw no one; but they led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
9 A ti ri tra hamm'a ni to kpan, nda na rhi na nda na so na.
And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
10 Nikima, nimi Damascus, vrekoma ri a he, wa ndema hi Ananiya. Baci a hlawu ni ra ndi “Ananiya”, A tre ndi “Igy mi he yi Bachi”
Now there was a certain disciple in Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said to him in a vision: Ananias. He answered: Behold me, Lord.
11 Baci a lhawu ndi, “Lunde, nid hi ni kon wa ba yo ndi kritrime, ni ko Yahuda, myeba ndhi wu Tarsus ri wa ndema hi Shawulu, a si bre Rji.
And the Lord said to him: Arise, and go into the street that is called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus: for behold, he is praying;
12 A toh ni ra' andi ndi ri nde Ananiya a si ye nda si sa wo ni wau ni tu don du to bubu ngari”
and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias, coming in and laying his hand on him, that he may receive his sight.
13 Ama Ananiya a sawu ndi “Baci, mi wo ni nyu ndhi gbugbu'u nitu gu yi, iri kpatimeme wa a ti tsatsra ndhime ni Urishilima.
But Ananias answered: Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how much evil he has done to thy saints in Jerusalem;
14 Aye ni hugon wu niko firist du ye vu ko nha ni wayi wa ani yo ndeme'a lo”.
and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all that call upon thy name.
15 Ama Baci a lhawu di “Hi, mi chuti kpewundu mi, ni du nji ndemu hi ni biwabana to me na, nibi niko tuchi, baba mir Israila.
But the Lord said to him: Go; for he is a vessel chosen by me to bear my name before nations and kings, and the sons of Israel.
16 Mi tsro u du toh bibi ya wa aniti nitu ndema”.
For I will show him what great things he must suffer for my name.
17 Ananiya a lu vunkon nda ka ri ni ko'a. Ni sawo nituma, a tre ndi “Vayi Shawulu, Bachi yesu, wa a tsro tuma niwu ni kon niwa wu sia ye'a, a tonme du kpa kpan yame mba ruhu tsratsra duri niwu”.
And Ananias went, and entered the house, and laying his hands on him, said: Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me, that you may receive your sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
18 Harime, ukperi to kpakpla ikle ba rhukulhe rhi ni shishi Shawulu, wa a kri kpa to Bulus a lu duba ti baptisma niwu.
And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he instantly received his sight; and he arose, and was immersed.
19 Wa ari biri u gbegblenma a k'ma ye ni wu A son niba mirko bi hu'a ni Damascus wu bran vi.
And, having taken food, he was strengthened. And he was with the disciples in Damascus for some days;
20 Rhiniki a lu si d'bu ni bla tre yesu nimi tra wu bre Baci, nda ni lha nd wawuyi a vren Rji.
and immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Sou of God.
21 Biwa ba woowua ba bwunyu yo who nda tre ndi “Ana guyi wa vu biwa ba yo ndeyi ni Urushilima na? A ye ni wa vu balo njini nu nikon Firist.
And all that heard him were astonished, and said: Is not this he who destroyed in Jerusalem those that call on this name, and who has come hither for this purpose, that he might carry them bound to the chief priests?
22 Gbegblen Shawulu asi bran nitu nitu nda kpa Yahudawa bi son ni Damascus k'ma chon nitu wa a du ndhi mla toh ndi Yesu a wawuyi hi Kristi
But Saul increased the more in strength, and confuted the Jews that dwelt in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
23 Niwa ba kai vi gbugbu'u, yahudawa ba zontu ni wa nkon wa ba zu nda wuu'a.
And, after many days had passed, the Jews determined to kill him.
24 Shawulu a toh kpewa ba si son ti niwu. Ba ki si gben kikle nkontra gbua, ni rhi mba ni chun don duba wuu.
And their plot was made known to Saul; and they watched the gates day and night, that they might kill him.
25 Amm Mirko bi hu'a ba ban'u ni chu, nda ka yo grji zu ni kpagonka gbu'a, ni mi sisen.
But the disciples took him by night, and let him down through the vail in a basket,
26 Niwa a ye ri ni Urishilima, Shawulu anata ri nha ni mirko bi hu'a, ama wawu mba ba kluu, nda na kpanyme ndi wawu ngame a vrenko wuhu na.
And having come to Jerusalem, he attempted to associate with the disciples: and they were all afraid of him, for they did not believe that he was a disciple.
27 Amma Barnaba a ban u njihi ni manzaniba, nda lha bawu ndi Shawulu a to Bachi ni nkon u Baci a tre niwu. mba wa hi ni damascu, Shawulu a tre hamma ni sisiri ni nde Yesu.
But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and told them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had boldly preached in Damascus in the name of Jesus.
28 A he ni ba ri bi rhu kagon Urishilima. A sia tre ni gbegblen suron (Hamma ni sisiri) ni nde Baci yesu.
And he was with them in Jerusalem, coming in and going out; and, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus,
29 Nda sisenyu ni Yahudawa bi helenenci ama ba kia wa nko u wuu.
he conversed and reasoned with the Hellenists; but they undertook to kill him.
30 Niwa mir vayiba ba mla wo kima, ba njiwu grhiye ni Kaisariya nda ka tru hi ni Tarsus.
And when the brethren learned this, they brought him down to Cæsarea, and sent him out to Tarsus.
31 Niki, ikilisiya kagon wu Judiya, galili mba Samaria ba kpa sii nda si guci ni ndu mba ni mi zren u sisiri. baci, mba wu son piame wu ruhu tsatsra, Ikilisiya asi bran ni blamba.
Then the churches throughout the whole of Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, and were edified; and, walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.
32 Naki, Bitrus a zrenzuni gbungblu kima wami a grjika ri ni tsatsra ndi bi Rji wa ba ki ni gbu Lidda.
And it came to pass that Peter, passing through all the places, came down also to the saints that dwelt in Lydda.
33 Niki a to guri wa bayo ndema ndi Iniyasu wandi azi kru nitu bla ma ti se tandra nitu a heni lilo chan ngble.
And he found there a certain man named Æneas, who was a paralytic, and had kept his bed for eight years.
34 Bitrus a tre nimu ndi Iniyasu, yesu Kristi a chu lilo wru ni wu. Lukri ndi mla bla me ti” mle a lukri ni zande,
And Peter said to him: Æneas, Jesus the Christ restores you to health; arise, and spread your bed for yourself. And he immediately arose;
35 wawu ndhi bi son ni Lidda mba sorona ba toh yu'a nda k'ma ye ni Baci.
and all that dwelt in Lydda and Saron saw him; and they turned to the Lord.
36 Ni gbu Ayafa vrenko wuhuri, wandi ndema hi Tabitha (wandi ba k'ma sran ndi Dorcas)” Iwayi a ta ti kpi bi ndidi nda ta zo bi ya' gbugbuu.
Now there was in Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which name, when translated, is Dorcas. She was full of good works and deeds of charity which she did.
37 A he ni vi baki, a ku kru kpa nda que niwa ba ngla kpama, ba ban'u ka yo ni tra wu koshu.
And it came to pass, in those days, that she was taken sick, and died. And when they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room.
38 Lidda a he weiweire ni yafa mir ko ba bana wo nda Bitrus he niki, ba ton ndhi ha ni wu, nda ni breu “ye nita gbagbla.
And as Lydda was near to Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, requesting him to make no delay in coming to them.
39 Bitrus alunde huba. Niwa a ye ri'a ba njiwu hi ni tra wu koshu'a, u mmba be k'bo ba baki whi niwu nda si yi, nda ni tsro gbawrunklon baba zeni wa Dorcas a wran bawu niwa a he niba'a.
Then Peter arose, and went with them; and when he had come, they brought him into the upper room; and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments that Dorcas made while she was with them.
40 Bitrus a dubarhu dinko ni tra'a, nda kuqugbarhu nda bre, nda k'ma ya ikmoa nda tre ndi, “Tabitha, Lunde” wa kri bwu shshi nda to Bitrus, nda luson.
But Peter put them all out, and kneeled down and prayed; and turning to the body, he said: Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41 Bitrus a n'me wo nuu nda azu hon zi zande, nda niwa a yo tsatsra ndhi bi Rjiba ye baba mmba bi k'bea, a kau naba ni sisren.
And he gave her his hand, and raised her up. And when he had called in the saints and the widows, he presented her alive.
42 Kagon yafa ikpe yi a zren kagon, ndahi gbugbuu ba kpanyme ni Baci.
And it was known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the Lord.
43 Nituki Bitrus a son vi gbugbuu ni yafa, ni gu ri wa ba yo nde ma ndi Siman, wu tindu ntani.
And it came to pass, that he remained many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
