Acts 8
1 And Saul was consenting to his murder. Now in those days, there occurred a great persecution against the Church at Jerusalem. And they were all dispersed 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 But God-fearing men arranged for Stephen’s funeral, and they made a great mourning over him.
Ndhi bi hu ngyengre me ba ban Istifanus ka rhu nda son ndayi kpukpeme.
3 Then Saul was laying waste to the Church by entering throughout the houses, and dragging away men and women, and committing them 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 Therefore, those who had been dispersed were traveling around, evangelizing the Word of God.
Na kima me biwa ba kpa nyeme nda vera hi kankan ba zren zita bla lan trea.
5 Now Philip, descending to a city of Samaria, was preaching Christ to them.
Filibus a grjhi hi ni kikle gbu wu Samaria ndaka d'bu bla nibawu nitu kristi.
6 And the crowd was listening intently and with one accord to those things which were being said by Philip, and they were watching the signs which he was accomplishing.
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 many of them had unclean spirits, and, crying out with a loud voice, these departed from them.
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 many of the paralytics and the lame were cured.
Nituki ndhi bi gbuu'a ba ngri kpukpome.
9 Therefore, there was great gladness in that city. Now there was a certain man named Simon, who formerly had been a magician in that city, seducing the people of Samaria, claiming himself to be someone great.
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 And to all those who would listen, from the least even to the greatest, he was saying: “Here is the power of God, which is called great.”
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 were attentive to him because, for a long time, he had deluded them with his magic.
Ba yo ton ni trema nitu wa rhi ni dedewa azi tsibashishi nidu ka'a wa a ta tsro ba.
12 Yet truly, once they had believed Philip, who was evangelizing the kingdom of God, both men and women were baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.
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 Then Simon himself also believed and, when he had been baptized, he adhered to Philip. And now, seeing also the greatest signs and miracles being wrought, he was amazed and stupefied.
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 who were in Jerusalem had heard that Samaria had 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 And when they had arrived, they 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 he had not yet come to any among them, since they were only baptized in the name of the Lord 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 their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Mle Bitrus mba Yohana ba sa wo nitumba, U ba kpa ruhu tsatsra'a.
18 But when Simon had seen that, by the imposition of the hands of the Apostles, the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money,
Niwa Siman a to ndi ba nu Ruhu Tsatsra niwa ba manzani ba ba sawo nitumba, a chu nkle ni nuba.
19 saying, “Give this power to me also, so that on whomever I will lay my hands, he may receive the Holy Spirit.” But Peter said to him:
A tre ndi “Ne gbengle kima ngame, wandi mita sawo nitu ko nha, wa ka kpa Ruhu Tsatsra”
20 “Let your money be with you in perdition, for you have supposed that a gift of God might be possessed 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 or place for you in this matter. For your heart is not upright in the sight of God.
Wuna he ni rabo ni kpeyina, don suron me na he bi ni irji na.
22 And so, repent from this, your wickedness, and beg God, so that perhaps this plan of your heart might be forgiven you.
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 you to be in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity.”
Mi to ndi wu he ni mi ntson lo suron mba ni nkon meme.
24 Then Simon responded by saying, “Pray for me to the Lord, so that nothing of what you have said may happen to me.”
Siman k'ma sawu ndi “bre Bachi nimu, du ko kpe riri wa wu tre na hon nitumuna.
25 And indeed, after testifying and speaking the Word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, and they evangelized the many regions 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 Now an Angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, “Rise up and go toward the south, to the way which descends from Jerusalem into Gaza, where there is a desert.”
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 rising up, he went. And behold, an Ethiopian man, a eunuch, powerful under Candace, the queen of the Ethiopians, who was over all her treasures, had arrived in 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 while returning, he was sitting upon his chariot and reading from the prophet Isaiah.
A k'ma tahi nda son ni ng'ma wu hon ma nda sia karanta tre anabi Ishaya.
29 Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Draw near and join yourself 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 Philip, hurrying, heard him reading from the prophet Isaiah, and he said, “Do you think that you understand what you are reading?”
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, “But how can I, unless someone will have revealed it to me?” And he asked Philip to climb up and 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 place in Scripture that he was reading was this: “Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter. And like a lamb silent before his shearer, so 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 He endured his judgment with humility. Who of his generation shall describe how his life was taken away 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 Then the eunuch responded to Philip, saying: “I beg you, about whom is the prophet saying this? About himself, or about someone else?”
Wame Dandaudu a mye Filibus ndi, “mi bre'u, hla mu, anabi si tre nitu nha? nitu kpamamu ka nitu ndiori kan?
35 Then Philip, opening his mouth and beginning from this Scripture, evangelized Jesus to him.
Filibus a lu si tre, rhi ni lantre yi wu vunvu tre Rji nda bla ndidi tre nitu Yesu niwu.
36 And while they were going along the way, they arrived at a certain water source. And the eunuch said: “There is water. What would prevent me from being baptized?”
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 Then Philip said, “If you believe from your whole heart, it is permitted.” And he responded by saying, “I believe the Son of God to be Jesus the Christ.”
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 ordered the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch descended into the water. And he baptized 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 had ascended from the water, the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him anymore. Then 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 Now Philip was found in Azotus. And continuing on, he evangelized all the cities, until he arrived in 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.
