Acts 16
1 And he came to the city Derbe, and to Lystra. And there was a certain disciple there, whose name was Timothy, the son of a believing Jewess, but his father was a Gentile.
Bulus ngame aye ni Derbe mba ni Lystra, niki vrenko wu huuri wa ndema hi Timotia he, vren wa Yahudawa ri, wa a kpanyime niwu, ama tima ana ndji Greek.
2 And all the disciples of Lystra and Iconium gave good testimony of him.
Mri vayi wa bana he ni Lystra mba Iconium bata tre ndindi ni tuma.
3 Him Paul was disposed to take with him: and he took him, and circumcised him, because of the Jews that were in that region; for they all knew that his father was a Gentile.
Bulus ata son du zren huu ni tuki, a bau njinda gen-mbru niwu, ni du Yahudawa wa ba he ni bubu baki du ba toh, nitu bana toh ndi tima ana Greek.
4 And as they went among the cities, they preached and taught them, that they should observe those injunctions which the legates and Elders at Jerusalem had written.
Niwa ba hu nkon si hi zu nimi gba ba, basia zren nihu nkon tsatsra wa manzani ba mba bi ninkon biwa ba he ni Urushelima ba m'ha yo duba hu.
5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and were increased in number daily.
Niki ekklisiya ba ba kpa ti ngbengblen ni kri gbangban nitu hu nkon'a nda du kri mbru mba a si hon chachu.
6 And they travelled through the regions of Phrygia and Galatia; and the Holy Spirit forbid them to speak the word of God in Asia.
Bulus mba bi zren niwu ba zren zu ni ngbran Phrygia mba Galatia, nitu Ruhu Tsatsra ana ti gbuchu ndi du ba na d'bu lan tre'a ni ngbran Asia na.
7 And when they came into the region of Mysia, they were disposed to go from there into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus permitted them not.
Niwa ba zren ye ti weiweire ni Mysia, ba yo sron zuni Bithynia, ama Ruhu Yesu a zuba.
8 And when they departed from Mysia, they came down to the region of Troas.
Niki ba vu Mysia y'ba nda grjiye ni gbu Troas.
9 And in a vision of the night, there appeared unto Paul, a man of Macedonia, who stood and besought him, saying: Come to Macedonia and help us.
Bulus a toh ni mira ni chu; ndji ri wu Macedonia a kri ki nda si bre'u nda ni tre ndi, “Ye nita ni Macedonia ni ye zota.”
10 And when Paul had seen this vision, immediately we were desirous to depart for Macedonia; because we inferred, that our Lord called us to preach to them.
Niwa wa Bulus a hrara toki, ki krilu si wa nkon wuhi ni Macedonia, nitu ki ban ndi Irji mba yo ta du ta ki hi bla tre ndindi ni bawu.
11 And we sailed from Troas, and came direct to Samothrace; and from there, on the following day, we came to the city Neapolis.
Ki kuu zren hu ni nkon ma rhini Troas, ki hu trime nkon wa ani njita zu ni Samothrace, nda duta ka rhini Neapolis ni mbewa aka wu vi kima.
12 And from there to Philippi, which is the chief city of Macedonia, and is a colony. And we remained in that city certain days.
Rhiniki, ki hi ni Philippi, wandi ana kikle gbu wu Macedonia, gbu wa a zan bi ni ndu wu ngbran kima mba wa aheni wo bi tuchu wu Romawa; ki ki niki wu vi wa a fon bran.
13 And on the sabbath day, we went without the gate of the city to the side of a river, because a house of prayer was seen there. And when we were seated, we conversed with the women who there assembled.
Ni vi Sabbath (Chachu Sati), ki zren rhu ni kikle nkontra gbu'a wa a he ni kosan ba'a, bubu wa ki ban ndi ani bi wu bre. Ki kukhi ni tre ni mmba wa ba ye zontu ki'a.
14 And a certain woman who feared God, a seller of purple, whose name was Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, was there. Her heart our Lord opened, and she hearkened to what Paul spake.
Iwari wu nde Lydia, wa a ta le ni ikpi nklon sru, rhi ni gbu Thyatira, wa ata hu nkon Irji, a yo ton si wota. Bachi a bwu sron ma ni du mla wo kpe wa Bulus asia tre'a.
15 And she was baptized, and her household. And she entreated us, saying: If ye are really persuaded that I have believed in our Lord, come and take lodging in my house. And she urged us much.
Niwawu mba bi koma, ba kpa batisma, nda bre ta ndi, “Bita kpanyme ni me ndi mi kri gbangban ni hu nkon Bachi, bi ka ye ni komu.” Nikima a weireta du ta kpanyme.
16 And it occurred that, as we were going to the house of prayer, a certain maid met us, who had a spirit of divination, and who procured for her lords great gain by the divination which she performed.
Niwa ki sia hi bubu bre, vrenwa ri wa ana gran, nda he ni brji wu toh kpe nda nran, a ye zontu nita. A ta nji nklen gbugbuwu ye ni ti ko ma nitu ndu nran wa ata ti'a.
17 And she followed after Paul and us, and cried, saying: These men are the servants of the Most High God, and they announce to you the way of life.
Iwa yi a zren si huba Bulus nda d'bu si hla ndi, “Biyi bi mri koh wu Irji wa a zan nzu hon. Ba ki bla nkon wu kpachuwo ni yiwu.”
18 And this she did many days. And Paul was indignant; and he said to that spirit, I command thee, in the name of Jesus Messiah, that thou come out of her. And it came out the same hour.
Asi ti toyi wu vi gbugbuwu. Ama Bulus, nitu vrenwa a yo nfu branbran, a k'ma nda hla ni brji'a ndi, “Mi mmha'u ni nde Yesu Kristi, rju ni kpa ma.” Mle a rju ni nton kima.
19 And when her lords saw that the prospect of their gain from her was gone, they seized Paul and Silas, and dragging them along brought them to the market-place,
Niwa bi ti koma ba toh ndi nkon kubu mba a kle, ba vu Bulus mba Sila nda gbi ba hi ni tsutsu bubu wa ba le ni kpi, niwa bi ninkon gbu ba ki'a.
20 and set them before the prefects and chiefs of the city, and said: These men disturb our city; for they are Jews,
Niwa ba nji ba ye nu bi blatre (Alkali), ba tre ndi ndji biyi ba nji iya rini kikle gbumbu. Ba Yahudawa.
21 and they preach to us customs, which it is not lawful for us to receive and to practise, because we are Romans.
Ba bla tre njo wa ana he nitu nkon wa Romawa ba kpanyme duta hu na.
22 And a great company was collected against them. Then the prefects rent their garments, and commanded to scourge them.
Niki kpaandji ba lu hon wawu mba, nitu Bulus mba Sila; Alkali ba ba y'ba ba nklon mba ju nda mmha duba hloba ni kunkron j'bo.
23 And when they had scourged them much, they cast them into the prison, and commanded the keeper of the prison to keep them with care.
Niwa ba hloba ni wo gbugbu nitu mba, ba tru ba sru ni ko wu tru nda mmha ndji wu tro'a du mla yo shishi nda na du ba gbuj'bu na.
24 And he, having received this command, carried and immured them in the inner part of the prison, and confined their feet in the stocks.
Hu gon kpa mmha yi, ndji wu tro'a, a tru ba sru ni tra wu komi nda vu ba za mba lo nha ni kunkron gbangban.
25 And at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and glorifying God: and the prisoners heard them.
Mla tsutsu chu, Bulus mba Sila ba sia bre Irji nda ni yo se wu nzu Irji hon, i mbru biwa ba tro ba ngame'a ba sia sren ton niba.
26 And suddenly there was a great shaking, and the foundations of the prison were moved; and at once all the doors opened, and the bands of all were loosed.
Niki, kikle grju meme a lu ti, nda du nchimeme wu ko tro a grju, mlee nkon ba wawu ba bwu yo hwo, mba ba sraka wa ba lo ba niwu'a ba si hle.
27 And when the keeper of the prison awoke, and saw that the doors of the prison were open, he took a sword and sought to kill himself; because he supposed the prisoners had escaped.
Igu wu troba'a a lu sh'me ni nna nda toh nkontra kotro ba ba bwu kri ni hwo, a gbron guglo Inji wu nduma ndani wuutuma, nitu a ban ndi biwa ba troba ba rju nawo ye.
28 But Paul called to him, in a loud voice, and said: Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.
Bulus a yo gro ni kikle lan nda tre ndi, “Na ti kpame kpe na, nitu wawu mbu ki he ni wayi.”
29 And he lighted for himself a lamp, and sprang and came in, trembling, and fell at the feet of Paul and Silas.
Igu wu troba a yo duba nji ilu kpan njiwu, nda tsutsu ri ni tsenza kpa mba sissri nda ka kukru ni shishi Bulus mba Sila.
30 And he brought them out, and said to them: My lords, what must I do, that I may have life?
Nda nji ba rju nda tre ndi, “Mi nuyi ninkon, mi ti ngye ni dumi kpa tumu chuwo?”
31 And they said to him: Believe on the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah, and thou wilt have life, thou and thy house.
Ba tre ndi, “kpanyme ni Bachi Yesu, niki wu kpa kpachuwo, ni wu baba biwa ba he ni ko me.”
32 And they spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all the members of his house.
Ba hla lan tre wu Bachi niwu, baba ni ko nha ni mi koma.
33 And the same hour of the night, he took and washed them from their stripes; and he was baptized immediately, he and all the members of his house.
Niki, igu wu tro'a a vu ba ni nton kima wu chu'a, nda ka ngla mkpan mba, niki wawu mba bi koma wawu ba ti batisma ni bawu.
34 And he took them and brought them into his house, and set a table for them; and he rejoiced in the faith of God, he and all the members of his house.
Niwa a nji ba Bulus mba Sila hon hi ni koma nda ka nuba biri, a ta kpe kpukpome, ni ndji biwa ba he ni koma'a, nitu a kpanyme ni Irji.
35 And when it was morning, the prefects sent rod-bearers to say to the superior of the prison: Let those men loose.
Zizan, niwa mble a nhran, alkali ba ba ton du hi ni bi gben'a, ndi “Du ndji bi mba hi kpamba.”
36 And when the superior of the prison heard it, he went in, and said the same thing to Paul; namely, that the prefects have sent word that ye be set free. And now, said he, Go ye out, and depart in peace.
Igu wu tro a vu lan tre ba bla ni Bulus mba Sila andi, “Alkali baba ton lan tre ye ni me ndi du mi du yi hi. Zizan nikima, ye rju hi yi ni si sron.”
37 But Paul said to him: They have scourged us, unoffending men, and Romans, before all the world, and have cast us into prison; and now, do they secretly let us out? No, surely: but let them come themselves and bring us out.
Ama Bulus a hla bawu ndi, “Ba vuta hlo tsi ni shishi ndji, hamma ni tsra ta toh, niwa me ki mri son meme Roma, nda tru ta sru ni kotro, zizan ba son juta rju ni rhiri? A'a! Du ba ye kimba nda ye njita rju.”
38 And the rod-bearers went and told to the prefects the words which were told to them: and when they heard that they were Romans, they were afraid,
Bi gben ba baka vu tre biyi bla ni ba alkali ba, niwa ba wo ndi Bulus mba Sila ba mri gbungblu Roma, ikpe'a anuba sissri.
39 and came to them, and entreated of them that they would come out, and that they would leave the city.
Alkali ba ba ye bre ba nda nji ba rju, nda bre du ba rju ni gbu'a hi kpamba.
40 And when they came out from the prison, they entered the house of Lydia; and there they saw the brethren, and comforted them, and departed.
Niki, Bulus mba Sila ba rju ni ko tro'a nda ye ni ko Lydia. Niwa ba Bulus mba Sila ba to mri vayi ba, ba nhronba duba ki gbangban, nda mle, rju hi kpamba rji ni gbu'a.
