Acts 8
1 And Saul was assenting to his death, and there came in that day a great persecution on the Assembly in Jerusalem, all were also scattered abroad in 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 carried Stephen away, and made great lamentation over him;
Ndhi bi hu ngyengre me ba ban Istifanus ka rhu nda son ndayi kpukpeme.
3 and Saul was making havoc of the Assembly, entering into every house, and dragging away men and women, giving them up 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 they then indeed, having been scattered, went abroad proclaiming good news—the word.
Na kima me biwa ba kpa nyeme nda vera hi kankan ba zren zita bla lan trea.
5 And Philip having gone down to a city of Samaria, was preaching the Christ to them;
Filibus a grjhi hi ni kikle gbu wu Samaria ndaka d'bu bla nibawu nitu kristi.
6 the multitudes were also giving heed to the things spoken by Philip, with one accord, in their hearing and seeing the signs that he was doing,
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 unclean spirits came forth from many who were possessed, crying with a loud voice, and many who have been paralytic and 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 was great joy in that city.
Nituki ndhi bi gbuu'a ba ngri kpukpome.
9 And a certain man, by name Simon, was previously in the city using magic, and amazing the nation of Samaria, saying himself to be a certain great one,
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 were all giving heed, from small to great, saying, “This one 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 were giving heed to him, because of his having amazed them for a long time with deeds of magic.
Ba yo ton ni trema nitu wa rhi ni dedewa azi tsibashishi nidu ka'a wa a ta tsro ba.
12 And when they believed Philip, proclaiming good news, the things concerning 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 having been immersed, he was continuing with Philip, beholding also signs and mighty acts being done, he was amazed.
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 And the apostles in Jerusalem having heard that Samaria has received the word of God, 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 having come down prayed concerning them, that they may receive the Holy Spirit—
Niwa ba grjhiye, ba bre Rji ni bawu, ndi du ba kpa Ruhu Tsatsra.
16 for as yet He was fallen on none of them, and only they have been immersed—into 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 were laying hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Mle Bitrus mba Yohana ba sa wo nitumba, U ba kpa ruhu tsatsra'a.
18 And Simon, having beheld that through the laying on of the hands of the apostles the Holy Spirit is given, brought money before 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 also to me this authority, that on whomsoever I may lay the 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 And Peter said to him, “Your silver with you—may it be to destruction! Because you thought to possess the gift of God through 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 you have neither part nor lot in this thing, for your heart is not right before God;
Wuna he ni rabo ni kpeyina, don suron me na he bi ni irji na.
22 convert, therefore, from this your wickedness, and implore God, if then the purpose of your heart may 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 in the gall of bitterness, and bond of unrighteousness, I perceive you being.”
Mi to ndi wu he ni mi ntson lo suron mba ni nkon meme.
24 And Simon answering, said, “Implore for me to the LORD, that nothing may come on me of the things you have spoken.”
Siman k'ma sawu ndi “bre Bachi nimu, du ko kpe riri wa wu tre na hon nitumuna.
25 They indeed, therefore, having testified fully, and spoken the word of the LORD, turned back to Jerusalem; they also proclaimed 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 a messenger of the LORD spoke to Philip, saying, “Arise, and go on toward the south, on the way that is going down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” (This is desolate.)
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 having arisen, he went on, and behold, a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch, a man of rank, 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 he was also returning, and is sitting on his chariot, and he was 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 Philip having run near, heard him reading the prophet Isaiah and said, “Do you then know what you 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, “Why, how am I able, if someone may not guide me?” He called Philip also, having come 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 And the passage of the Writing that he was reading was this: “He was led as a sheep to slaughter, And as a lamb before his shearer is silent, So He does not open 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 humiliation His judgment was taken away, And His generation—who will declare? Because His life is 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 the eunuch answering Philip said, “I beg you, about whom does the prophet say this? About himself, or about some other one?”
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 Writing, proclaimed good news to him—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 were going on the way, they came on some water, and the eunuch said, “Behold, water; what hinders 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 [[And Philip said, “If you believe out of all the heart, it is lawful”; and he answering said, “I believe Jesus Christ to be the Son of God”; ]]
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 to 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, the Spirit of the LORD snatched up Philip, and the eunuch saw him no more, for he was going 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 and Philip was found at Azotus, and passing through, he was proclaiming good news to all the cities, until his coming 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.
