Acts 15
1 Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you can’t be saved.”
Àwọn ọkùnrin kan tí Judea sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá, wọ́n sì kọ́ àwọn arákùnrin pé, “Bí kò ṣe pé a bá kọ yín ni ilà bí ìṣe Mose, ẹ̀yin kí yóò lè là.”
2 Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul, Barnabas, and some others of them to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
Nígbà tí Paulu àti Barnaba ni ìyapa àti ìyàn jíjà tí kò mọ níwọ̀n pẹ̀lú ara wọn, wọ́n yan Paulu àti Barnaba àti àwọn mìíràn nínú aposteli kí wọn gòkè lọ sí Jerusalẹmu, sọ́dọ̀ àwọn alàgbà nítorí ọ̀ràn yìí.
3 They, being sent on their way by the assembly, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles. They caused great joy to all the brothers.
Nítorí náà, bí ìjọ ti rán wọn jáde lọ sí ọ̀nà wọn, wọn la Fonisia àti Samaria kọjá, wọ́n ń ròyìn ìyípadà àwọn aláìkọlà, wọ́n sì fi ayọ̀ ńlá fún gbogbo àwọn arákùnrin.
4 When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly and the apostles and the elders, and they reported everything that God had done with them.
Nígbà tí wọn sì dé Jerusalẹmu, ìjọ àti àwọn aposteli àti àwọn alàgbà tẹ́wọ́gbà wọ́n, wọ́n sì ròyìn ohun gbogbo tí Ọlọ́run ti ṣe nípasẹ̀ wọn.
5 But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses.”
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn kan nínú ẹ̀yà àwọn Farisi tí wọ́n gbàgbọ́ dìde, wọ́n ń wí pé, “A ní láti kọ wọ́n ní ilà, àti láti pàṣẹ fún wọn pé kí wọn máa pa òfin Mose mọ́.”
6 The apostles and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
Àwọn aposteli àti àwọn alàgbà péjọ láti rí si ọ̀ràn yìí.
7 When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, “Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News and believe.
Nígbà tí iyàn sì di púpọ̀, Peteru dìde, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ará, ẹ̀yin mọ̀ pé, láti ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ ni Ọlọ́run ti yàn nínú yín pé, kí àwọn aláìkọlà lè gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ìyìnrere láti ẹnu mi, kí wọn sì gbàgbọ́.
8 God, who knows the heart, testified about them, giving them the Holy Spirit, just like he did to us.
Ọlọ́run, tí ó jẹ́ olùmọ̀-ọkàn, sì jẹ́ wọn lẹ́rìí, ó fún wọn ni Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwa.
9 He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
Kò sí fi ìyàtọ̀ sí àárín àwa àti àwọn, ó ń fi ìgbàgbọ́ wẹ̀ wọ́n lọ́kàn mọ́.
10 Now therefore why do you tempt God, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
Ǹjẹ́ nítorí náà èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin o fi dán Ọlọ́run wò, láti fi àjàgà bọ àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn lọ́rùn, èyí tí àwọn baba wa àti àwa kò lè rù?
11 But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.”
Ṣùgbọ́n àwa gbàgbọ́ pé nípa oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Olúwa Jesu àwa ó là, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn.”
12 All the multitude kept silence, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done among the nations through them.
Gbogbo àjọ sí dákẹ́, wọ́n sì fi etí sí Barnaba àti Paulu, tí wọn ń ròyìn iṣẹ́ ìyanu àti iṣẹ́ àmì tí Ọlọ́run tí ti ọwọ́ wọn ṣe láàrín àwọn aláìkọlà.
13 After they were silent, James answered, “Brothers, listen to me.
Lẹ́yìn tí wọn sì dákẹ́, Jakọbu dáhùn, wí pé, “Ará, ẹ gbọ́ tèmi,
14 Simeon has reported how God first visited the nations to take out of them a people for his name.
Simeoni ti ròyìn bí Ọlọ́run ti kọ́kọ́ bojú wo àwọn aláìkọlà, láti yàn ènìyàn nínú wọn fún orúkọ rẹ̀.
15 This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
Báyìí ni ọ̀rọ̀ àwọn wòlíì bá ṣe déédé; bí a ti kọ̀wé rẹ̀ pé:
16 ‘After these things I will return. I will again build the tabernacle of David, which has fallen. I will again build its ruins. I will set it up
“‘Lẹ́yìn nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni èmi ó padà, èmi ó sì tún àgọ́ Dafidi pa tí ó ti wó lulẹ̀: èmi ó sì tún ahoro rẹ̀ kọ́, èmi ó sì gbé e ró.
17 that the rest of men may seek after the Lord: all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who does all these things.’
Kí àwọn ènìyàn ìyókù lè máa wá Olúwa, àti gbogbo àwọn kèfèrí, lára ẹni tí a ń pe orúkọ mi,’ ni Olúwa wí, ta ni ó ń ṣe nǹkan wọ̀nyí,
ẹni tí ó sọ gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí di mímọ́ láti ọjọ́ pípẹ́ wá. (aiōn g165)
19 Therefore my judgment is that we don’t trouble those from among the Gentiles who turn to God,
“Ǹjẹ́ ìmọ̀ràn tèmi ni pé, kí a máa ṣe yọ àwọn ti aláìkọlà ti ó yípadà sí Ọlọ́run lẹ́nu.
20 but that we write to them that they abstain from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.
Ṣùgbọ́n kí a kọ̀wé si wọn, kí wọ́n fàsẹ́yìn kúrò nínú oúnjẹ tí a ṣe fún òrìṣà, àti kúrò nínú àgbèrè, àti nínú ẹ̀jẹ̀.
21 For Moses from generations of old has in every city those who preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath.”
Nítorí òfin Mose nígbà àtijọ́ ṣá ní a ti ń wàásù rẹ̀, ni ìlú gbogbo, a máa ń kà á nínú Sinagọgu ni ọjọọjọ́ ìsinmi.”
22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers.
Nígbà nà án ni ó tọ́ lójú àwọn aposteli, àti àwọn alàgbà pẹ̀lú gbogbo ìjọ, láti yan ènìyàn nínú wọn, àti láti rán wọ́n lọ sí Antioku pẹ̀lú Paulu àti Barnaba: Judasi ti a ń pè àpèlé rẹ̀ ní Barsaba, àti Sila, ẹni tí ó lórúkọ nínú àwọn arákùnrin.
23 They wrote these things by their hand: “The apostles, the elders, and the brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.
Wọn sì kọ ìwé lé wọn lọ́wọ́ báyìí pé, Àwọn aposteli, àti àwọn alàgbà, tí ó jẹ́ ti aláìkọlà tí ó wà ní Antioku, àti ní Siria, àti ní Kilikia.
24 Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, saying, ‘You must be circumcised and keep the law,’ to whom we gave no commandment;
Níwọ́n bí àwa ti gbọ́ pé, àwọn kan ti ó ti ọ̀dọ̀ wa jáde wá ń fi ọ̀rọ̀ yọ yín lẹ́nu, tí wọ́n ń yí yín ní ọkàn padà (wí pé, ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ ṣàìmá kọ ilà, àti ṣàìmá pa òfin Mose mọ́), ẹni tí àwa kò fún ní àṣẹ.
25 it seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,
Ó yẹ lójú àwa, bí wa ti fi ìmọ̀ ṣọ̀kan láti yan ènìyàn láti rán wọn sí yín, pẹ̀lú Barnaba àti Paulu àwọn olùfẹ́ wa.
26 men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Àwọn ọkùnrin ti ó fi ọkàn wọn wéwu nítorí orúkọ Olúwa wa Jesu Kristi.
27 We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
Nítorí náà àwa rán Judasi àti Sila àwọn tí yóò sì fi ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu sọ ohun kan náà fún yín.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than these necessary things:
Nítorí ó dára lójú Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́, àti lójú wa, kí a má ṣe di ẹrù le é yin lórí, bí kò ṣe àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí tí ó ṣe pàtàkì;
29 that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell.”

30 So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch. Having gathered the multitude together, they delivered the letter.
Ǹjẹ́ nígbà tí wọ́n sì fi wọ́n sílẹ̀ láti lọ, wọ́n sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá si Antioku. Nígbà tí wọn sì pé àwọn ìjọ papọ̀, wọn fi ìwé náà fún wọn.
31 When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
Nígbà tí wọn sì kà á, wọ́n yọ̀ fún ìtùnú náà.
32 Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words and strengthened them.
Bí Judasi àti Sila tìkára wọn ti jẹ́ wòlíì pẹ̀lú, wọ́n fi ọ̀rọ̀ púpọ̀ gba àwọn arákùnrin níyànjú, wọ́n sì mú wọn lọ́kàn le.
33 After they had spent some time there, they were dismissed in peace from the brothers to the apostles.
Nígbà tí wọn sì pẹ́, díẹ̀, àwọn arákùnrin rán wọn padà lọ ni àlàáfíà sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn tí ó rán wọn wá.
35 But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
Paulu àti Barnaba sì dúró díẹ̀ ni Antioku, wọ́n ń kọ́ni, wọ́n sì ń wàásù ọ̀rọ̀, Olúwa, àti àwọn púpọ̀ mìíràn pẹ̀lú wọn.
36 After some days Paul said to Barnabas, “Let’s return now and visit our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing.”
Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ mélòó kan, Paulu sì sọ fún Barnaba pé, “Jẹ́ kí a tún padà lọ bẹ àwọn arákùnrin wa wò, bí wọn ti ń ṣe sí ni ìlú gbogbo tí àwa ti wàásù ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa.”
37 Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
Barnaba sì pinnu rẹ̀ láti mú Johanu lọ pẹ̀lú wọn, ẹni tí àpèlé rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Marku.
38 But Paul didn’t think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and didn’t go with them to do the work.
Ṣùgbọ́n Paulu rò pé, kò yẹ láti mú un lọ pẹ̀lú wọn, ẹni tí ó fi wọn sílẹ̀ ni Pamfilia, tí kò sì bá wọn lọ sí iṣẹ́ náà.
39 Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,
Ìjà náà sì pọ̀ tó bẹ́ẹ̀, tí wọn ya ara wọn sì méjì, Barnaba sì mu Marku ó tẹ ọkọ́ létí lọ sí Saipurọsi.
40 but Paul chose Silas and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
Ṣùgbọ́n Paulu yan Sila, ó sì lọ, bí a ti fi lé oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Olúwa lọ́wọ́ láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn arákùnrin.
41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies.
Ó sì la Siria àti Kilikia lọ, ó ń mú ìjọ ní ọkàn le.
