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 out threatnings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, came to the high priest, and desired of him letters to the synagogues at Damascus,
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.
that if he should find any of this persuasion, 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 was on his journey, and came near to Damascus, 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 he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5 Shawulu, a sa ndi “wu nha, Baci?” U Baci a tre ndi “A hi me Yesu, wa wusi tsra me ni ya;
And he said, Who art Thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus the Nazarene whom thou art persecuting: it is hard for thee to kick against the goads.
6 ama lunde, ri hi ni mi gbu'a ba lha kpewa wutia niwu.”
And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise and go into the city, and it shall be told thee, what thou 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.
And the men that went along with him, stood astonished, hearing the voice, 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.
And Saul rose from the earth, but when he opened his eyes he could not see: so they led him by the hand, and brought him to 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 did neither eat nor drink.
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, and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias, and he said, Behold, I am here, 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 unto him, Arise and go into the street which is called Strait, and enquire in the house of Judas for one Saul, of Tarsus:
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”
for behold he is praying, and hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias, coming in and putting his hand upon him, that he might recover 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.
And Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how much mischief he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem:
14 Aye ni hugon wu niko firist du ye vu ko nha ni wayi wa ani yo ndeme'a lo”.
and here too he hath authority from the chief priests to apprehend 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 unto him, Go thy way, for he is the instrument I have chosen, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
16 Mi tsro u du toh bibi ya wa aniti nitu ndema”.
for I will shew him how great sufferings he must endure 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 away and came into the house; and putting his hands on him, said, "Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, who appeared to thee on the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy 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 as it were scales; and he instantly recovered his sight, and 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.
And when he had taken some nourishment, he was strengthened. Now Saul was with the disciples at Damascus for some time.
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 he immediately preached Christ in the synagogues, 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.
But all that heard him, were amazed, and said, Is not this he that persecuted those in Jerusalem who called on this name, and came hither for this end, 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 prevailed more and more, and confounded the Jews that dwelt at Damascus, fully proving that this same Jesus is the Christ.
23 Niwa ba kai vi gbugbu'u, yahudawa ba zontu ni wa nkon wa ba zu nda wuu'a.
And after a considerable time, the Jews conspired 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 Saul was apprised of their design. And they watched the gates day and night, to make away with 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 by the wall, 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 when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he attempted to associate with the disciples: and 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 and brought him to the apostles, and related to them, how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that He had spoken to him; and how he had preached boldly at 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 coming in and going out at Jerusalem, and preaching openly in the name of the Lord Jesus:
29 Nda sisenyu ni Yahudawa bi helenenci ama ba kia wa nko u wuu.
and he talked and disputed with the Hellenists, who attempted to kill him:
30 Niwa mir vayiba ba mla wo kima, ba njiwu grhiye ni Kaisariya nda ka tru hi ni Tarsus.
but when the brethren knew it, they brought him down to Cesarea, and sent him away 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 all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, had rest, being edified and walking in the fear of the Lord; and through the consolation of the holy Spirit 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 as Peter was going through all parts, he came down also to the saints that dwelt 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.
And there he found a man named Eneas, who had kept his bed eight years, with the palsy.
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 unto him, Eneas, Jesus the Messiah, healeth thee. Arise, and make thy bed. And he rose up immediately.
35 wawu ndhi bi son ni Lidda mba sorona ba toh yu'a nda k'ma ye ni Baci.
And all that dwelt at Lydda and in Saron saw him, and 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.
And there was at Joppa a certain female disciple named Tabitha, who by interpretation is called in Greek Dorcas: and she was full of good works and alms-deeds.
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 happened, about the same time, that she fell sick and died: and when they had washed her they laid her out in an upper chamber.
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 hearing that Peter was there sent two men to him, intreating him that he would not delay to come 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 was come, they brought him into the upper chamber. And all the widows stood round him weeping, and shewing him the coats and garments which Dorcas made when 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, putting them all out, kneeled down and prayed: and then 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 giving her his hand he raised her up, and calling the saints and widows he presented her alive.
42 Kagon yafa ikpe yi a zren kagon, ndahi gbugbuu ba kpanyme ni Baci.
And it was soon 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 he staid many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
