Ndu Manzaniba 9
1 ama shawulu, wa a si gbre que ni mri ko bi hu bacia, hi ni nikon firist
But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high 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 for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, that if he found any who were of the Way, whether 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;
As he traveled, he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.
4 wa akurhoku hi meme nda wo ilan ni tre niwu ndi “Shawubu, shawulu, a ngye sa wu tsra me ni ya?”
He fell on the earth, and 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 said, “Who are you, Lord?” The Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
6 ama lunde, ri hi ni mi gbu'a ba lha kpewa wutia niwu.”
But rise up and enter into the city, then you will be told 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 traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the sound, but seeing 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.
Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened, he saw no one. 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.
He was without sight for three days, 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 at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias!” He said, “Behold, it’s 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.
The Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judah for one named Saul, a man 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 in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and laying his hands on him, that he might 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 about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Jerusalem.
14 Aye ni hugon wu niko firist du ye vu ko nha ni wayi wa ani yo ndeme'a lo”.
Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your 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 your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the children of Israel.
16 Mi tsro u du toh bibi ya wa aniti nitu ndema”.
For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name’s sake.”
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”.
Ananias departed and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord, 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.
Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was baptized.
19 Wa ari biri u gbegblenma a k'ma ye ni wu A son niba mirko bi hu'a ni Damascus wu bran vi.
He took food and was strengthened. Saul stayed several days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
20 Rhiniki a lu si d'bu ni bla tre yesu nimi tra wu bre Baci, nda ni lha nd wawuyi a vren Rji.
Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed the Christ, that he is the Son 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.
All who heard him were amazed, and said, “Isn’t this he who in Jerusalem made havoc of those who called on this name? And he had come here intending to bring them bound before 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 more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived at 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.
When many days were fulfilled, the Jews conspired together 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.
but their plot became known to Saul. They watched the gates both 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 his disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall, lowering him 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.
When Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing 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 declared to them how he had seen the Lord on the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly 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.
He was with them entering into Jerusalem,
29 Nda sisenyu ni Yahudawa bi helenenci ama ba kia wa nko u wuu.
preaching boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus. He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.
30 Niwa mir vayiba ba mla wo kima, ba njiwu grhiye ni Kaisariya nda ka tru hi ni Tarsus.
When the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off 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.
So the assemblies throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
32 Naki, Bitrus a zrenzuni gbungblu kima wami a grjika ri ni tsatsra ndi bi Rji wa ba ki ni gbu Lidda.
As Peter went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the saints who lived at 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.
There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years because he was paralyzed.
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,
Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you. Get up and make your bed!” Immediately he arose.
35 wawu ndhi bi son ni Lidda mba sorona ba toh yu'a nda k'ma ye ni Baci.
All who lived at Lydda and in Sharon 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 at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which when translated means Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy 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.
In those days, she became sick and died. 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.
As Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him not to 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.
Peter got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper room. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the tunics and other garments which Dorcas had 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.
Peter sent them all out, and knelt down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, “Tabitha, get up!” 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.
He gave her his hand and raised her up. Calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
42 Kagon yafa ikpe yi a zren kagon, ndahi gbugbuu ba kpanyme ni Baci.
This became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
43 Nituki Bitrus a son vi gbugbuu ni yafa, ni gu ri wa ba yo nde ma ndi Siman, wu tindu ntani.
He stayed many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.
