Acts 8
1 And Saul was approving the killing of him. And on that day there developed a great persecution against the church at Jerusalem. And they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.
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.
2 And devout men arranged to bury Stephen, and they made great lamentation over him.
Ndhi bi hu ngyengre me ba ban Istifanus ka rhu nda son ndayi kpukpeme.
3 But Saul was ravaging the church, entering from house to house. Dragging both men and women, he gave them over to prison.
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.
4 Indeed therefore those who were scattered abroad passed through proclaiming the good news, the word.
Na kima me biwa ba kpa nyeme nda vera hi kankan ba zren zita bla lan trea.
5 And Philip, who went down to a city of Samaria, proclaimed the Christ to them.
Filibus a grjhi hi ni kikle gbu wu Samaria ndaka d'bu bla nibawu nitu kristi.
6 And the multitudes unanimously heeded the things that were spoken by Philip during their listening and seeing the signs that he did.
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.
7 For of many of those who had unclean spirits, they came out, crying in a great voice. And many who were paralyzed, and who were lame, were healed.
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.
8 And there became great joy in that city.
Nituki ndhi bi gbuu'a ba ngri kpukpome.
9 But a certain man in the city, Simon by name, was formerly practicing sorcery, and fascinating the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be some great man,
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.
10 to whom they gave heed, from small to great, saying, This man is the great power of God.
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”
11 And they heeded him, because he fascinated them for a considerable time with the sorceries.
Ba yo ton ni trema nitu wa rhi ni dedewa azi tsibashishi nidu ka'a wa a ta tsro ba.
12 But when they believed Philip preaching good news, the things about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were immersed, both men and women.
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.
13 And Simon himself also believed. And after being immersed, he was continuing with Philip. And seeing miracles and signs occurring, he was astonished.
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.
14 Now when the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria has received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,
Niwa manzani ba ni Urishilima ba wo ndi Samaria ba kpa lantre Irji, ba ton Bitrus mba Yonana hi ni ba.
15 who, when they came down, prayed for them, so that they might receive the Holy Spirit,
Niwa ba grjhiye, ba bre Rji ni bawu, ndi du ba kpa Ruhu Tsatsra.
16 for it was not yet fallen upon any of them. They were only immersed in the name of the Christ Jesus.
Nitu, ye niton kima, Ruhu tsatsra na ri he wu grjhiri ni ba, bana kpa baptisma ni nde Bachi Yesu megen.
17 Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Mle Bitrus mba Yohana ba sa wo nitumba, U ba kpa ruhu tsatsra'a.
18 Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles' hands, he brought money to them,
Niwa Siman a to ndi ba nu Ruhu Tsatsra niwa ba manzani ba ba sawo nitumba, a chu nkle ni nuba.
19 saying, Give me also this power, so that on whomever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.
A tre ndi “Ne gbengle kima ngame, wandi mita sawo nitu ko nha, wa ka kpa Ruhu Tsatsra”
20 But Peter said to him, Thy silver with thee, may it be for destruction, because thou thought to obtain the gift of God by money.
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.
21 There is no part nor lot for thee in this matter, for thy heart is not straight in the sight of God.
Wuna he ni rabo ni kpeyina, don suron me na he bi ni irji na.
22 Repent therefore from this thine evil, and beg God, if perhaps the thought of thy heart will be forgiven thee.
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.
23 For I perceive that thou are in the gall of bitterness and the bond of unrighteousness.
Mi to ndi wu he ni mi ntson lo suron mba ni nkon meme.
24 And having answered, Simon said, Beg ye to the Lord for me, so that none of which things ye have spoken may come upon me.
Siman k'ma sawu ndi “bre Bachi nimu, du ko kpe riri wa wu tre na hon nitumuna.
25 Indeed therefore, having solemnly testified and spoken the word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, and preached the good news in many villages of the Samaritans.
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.
26 And an agent of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is a desolate region.
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).
27 And after rising, he went. And behold a man, an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a high official of Candace the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasure, who had come to Jerusalem to worship.
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.
28 And he was returning, and sitting in his chariot, and reading the prophet Isaiah.
A k'ma tahi nda son ni ng'ma wu hon ma nda sia karanta tre anabi Ishaya.
29 And the Spirit said to Philip, Go near, and be joined to this chariot.
Ruhu Rji a lha ni Filibus ndi “hi ni bubu wa a hea, ni hi kri nha ni ng'ma hu henma”.
30 And after running near, Philip heard him reading the prophet Isaiah. And he said, Do thou also really understand the things that thou read?
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?”.
31 And he said, For how can I unless some man may guide me? And he encouraged Philip, after coming up, to sit with him.
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.
32 Now the passage of the scripture that he was reading was this: He was led as a sheep to slaughter, and as a lamb, mute before shearing him, thus he opened not his mouth.
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.
33 In his lowly condition his justice was taken away. And who will describe his generation, because his life was taken from the earth?
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.
34 And having answered, the eunuch said to Philip, I ask thee, about whom does the prophet say this, about himself, or about some other man?
Wame Dandaudu a mye Filibus ndi, “mi bre'u, hla mu, anabi si tre nitu nha? nitu kpamamu ka nitu ndiori kan?
35 And Philip having opened his mouth, and having begun from this scripture, he preached the good news to him-the man Jesus.
Filibus a lu si tre, rhi ni lantre yi wu vunvu tre Rji nda bla ndidi tre nitu Yesu niwu.
36 And as they went on the way, they came to some water, and the eunuch says, Look, water! What prevents me to be immersed?
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?
37 [This verse in not in the majority of the Greek manuscripts.]
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 And he commanded the chariot to stand still. And they both went down into the water, both Philip and the eunuch, and he immersed him.
Niki, dandaudu a du ngma kukri. Ba grjhi hi ni mi mma. Filibus mba dandauda, U Filibus a ti baptisma niwu.
39 And when they came up out of the water, Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went on his way rejoicing.
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.
40 But Philip was found at Azotus. And passing through all the cities he preached the good news until he came to Caesarea.
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.
