Acts 13
1 Now there were some men from the congregation that was in Antioch, prophets and teachers, including Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, and Manaen reared with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
Ndị amụma na ndị nkuzi ụfọdụ nọkwa na nzukọ dị nʼAntiọk. Ụfọdụ nʼime ha bụ Banabas na Simiọn onye a na-akpọ nwoke ojii, na Lusiọs onye Sirini, na Manaen (onye azụlitekọrọ ya na eze Herọd), na Sọl.
2 And while they were serving the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Separate to me now Barnabas and Saul for the work that I have called them.
Mgbe ha nọ na-efe Onyenwe anyị ofufe na-ebukwa ọnụ, Mmụọ Nsọ sịrị, “Kewapụtaranụ m Banabas na Sọl, nʼihi ọrụ ahụ nke m kpọrọ ha.”
3 Then, having fasted and prayed and laid hands on them, they sent them away.
Ya mere, mgbe ha busiri ọnụ kpekwa ekpere, ha bikwasịrị ha aka nʼisi zipụ ha.
4 Indeed therefore these men, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed for Cyprus.
Ebe Mmụọ Nsọ zipụrụ ha, ha gbadara Selusia, sitekwa ebe ahụ gbadaa Saiprọs.
5 And after becoming in Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews, and they also had John for a helper.
Mgbe ha bịaruru Salamis, ha banyere nʼụlọ nzukọ ndị Juu kwusaa okwu Chineke. Jọn sokwa ha dịka onye na-ejere ha ozi.
6 And after going through the island as far as Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a Jewish false prophet, whose name was Bar-jesus,
Mgbe ha gazuchara obodo niile ndị ahụ mmiri gbara gburugburu ruo Pafọs, ha zutere otu onye mgbaasị, onye Juu bụ onye amụma ụgha a na-akpọ Ba-Jisọs.
7 who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man, having summoned Barnabas and Saul, sought to hear the word of God.
Ya na otu onye ọchịchị obodo, aha ya bụ Sajiọs Pọlọs nọ. Ọ bụ nwoke nwere ọgụgụisi nʼebe ọ dị ukwuu, ọ kpọrọ Banabas na Sọl ka ha gwa ya okwu nke Chineke.
8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so his name is translated) opposed them, seeking to deviate the proconsul from the faith.
Ma onye mgbaasị ahụ, onye aha ya bụkwa Elimas (nʼihi nke a bụ aha ya ma asụgharịa ya) malitere igbochi ha site nʼimegharị onyeisi ahụ anya ka ọ ghara ịnabata okwukwe ahụ.
9 But Saul (the man is also Paul) having been filled with the Holy Spirit, and having gazed on him,
Ma Sọl, onye aha ya bụkwa Pọl, onye jupụtara na Mmụọ Nsọ, legidere ya anya
10 said, O man full of all deceit and all recklessness, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, will thou not cease distorting the straight ways of the Lord?
sị, “Gị nwa ekwensu, jupụtara nʼaghụghọ na nʼihe ọjọọ dị iche iche. Gị onye iro nke ezi omume niile. Ọ bụ na i gaghị akwụsị imerụ ụzọ niile ziri ezi nke Onyenwe anyị?
11 And now, behold, a hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou will be blind, not seeing the sun until a time. And immediately there fell on him gloom and darkness, and going around he sought hand-guides.
Nʼihi ya lee, iwe nke Onyenwe anyị ga-adakwasị gị. Ị ga-ekpụ ìsì nwa oge, ị gaghị enwe ike hụ ìhè nke anyanwụ.” Nʼotu oge ahụ, ọ hụkwaghị ụzọ ọzọ. Ọ malitere na-ebigharị aka, na-achọkwa onye ga na-edugharị ya.
12 Then the proconsul, who saw that which happened, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
Mgbe onyeisi ahụ hụrụ ihe mere, o kweere, nʼihi na o juru ya anya bụ ozizi nke okwu Onyenwe anyị.
13 Now those around Paul, having launched from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia. But John, having departed from them, returned to Jerusalem.
Pọl na ndị otu ya ji ụgbọ mmiri site na Pafọs garuo Pega nke dị nʼala Pamfilia. Nʼebe a ka Jọn hapụrụ ha laghachi Jerusalem.
14 And they, having passed through from Perga, arrived at Antioch of Pisidia, and after entering into the synagogue on the sabbath day, they sat down.
Site na Pega ha gara ruo Antiọk obodo nke dị na Pisidia. Nʼụbọchị izuike, ha banyere nʼụlọ nzukọ ndị Juu nọdụ ala.
15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets the synagogue rulers sent to them, saying, Men, brothers, if there is among you a word of exhortation for the people, speak.
Mgbe a gụpụtasịrị site nʼakwụkwọ iwu na nke ndị amụma, ndịisi ụlọ ekpere ahụ zigara ya ozi, sị, “Ụmụnna anyị, ọ bụrụ na unu nwere okwu ịgbaume nye anyị, biko kwuonụ ya.”
16 And Paul having stood up, and having motioned with the hand, he said, Men! Israelites and those who fear God, listen.
Pọl guzoro ọtọ nʼetiti ha feere ha aka ya, sị, “Unu ndị Izrel na unu ụmụnna m ndị mba ọzọ na-atụ egwu Chineke. Geenụ m ntị.
17 The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and raised up the people during the sojourn in the land of Egypt. And with a lofty arm he brought them out of it.
Chineke nke Izrel họpụtara nna nna anyị ha mee ha mba dị ukwu nʼoge ha nọ nʼobodo Ijipt. O ji ike aka ya dupụta ha site nʼala ahụ.
18 And for about a forty-year time he was patient with them in the wilderness.
Ọ nagidere ha iri afọ anọ nʼime ọzara.
19 And having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he allotted their land to them.
O bibiri mba asaa dị ukwuu nʼime ala Kenan nʼihi ha, nyekwa ndị ya obodo a ka ọ bụrụ nke ha.
20 And after these things he gave them judges about four hundred and fifty years until Samuel the prophet.
Nke a bụ ihe dị ka narị afọ anọ na iri afọ ise. “Mgbe nke a gasịrị, o nyere ha ndị ikpe dị iche iche ruo oge Samuel onye amụma.
21 And afterward they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
Mgbe ahụ ha rịọrọ ka enye ha eze, Chineke nyekwara ha Sọl, nwa Kish, onye si nʼagbụrụ Benjamin pụta, onye chịrị iri afọ anọ.
22 And having removed him, he raised up David for a king to them, also about whom he said, when he testified, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man according to my heart, who will do all my purposes.
Mgbe o wepụsịrị ya, o mere Devid ka ọ bụrụ eze ha. Ọ gbara ama banyere ya sị, ‘Achọtala m Devid nwa Jesi, nwoke nke dị ka ọchịchọ obi m nke si dị. Ọ bụkwa onye ga-eme ihe niile m chọrọ ka o mee.’
23 From this man's seed according to promise, God brought salvation to Israel,
“Jisọs onye si nʼezinaụlọ Devid pụta ka Chineke wetaara Izrel Onye nzọpụta ahụ bụ Jisọs, dịka o kwere nkwa izite.
24 John having earlier proclaimed, before his coming presence, the immersion of repentance to Israel.
Ma tupu ọbịbịa ya, Jọn ekwusala nye ndị Izrel banyere baptizim nke nchegharị.
25 And as John was fulfilling his course, he said, Whom do ye suppose me to be? I am not, but behold, he comes after me of whom I am not worthy to loose the shoes of his feet.
Nʼoge Jọn na-arụsị ọrụ ya, ọ na-asị, ‘Onye ka unu chere na m bụ? Abụkwaghị m onye ahụ. Mba! Abụghị m ya. Ma otu onye ahụ na-abịa nʼazụ m, onye m na-erughị ịtọpụ eriri akpụkpọụkwụ ya.’
26 Men, brothers, sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you the word of this salvation was sent.
“Ya mere, ụmụnna m, ndị si nʼagbụrụ Ebraham na ndị niile na-atụ egwu Chineke, ozi nke nzọpụta a dịrị anyị niile.
27 For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, not having known this and the voices of the prophets being read at every sabbath, they fulfilled, having condemned him.
Ndị bi na Jerusalem na ndị na-achị ha amataghị ya, nke ha ji aghọta okwu ndị amụma nke a na-agụpụtara ha kwa izu, bụ nʼụbọchị izuike. Ma ha mere ka okwu ahụ mezuo, mgbe ha mara ya ikpe ọnwụ.
28 And not having found one cause of death in him, they asked for Pilate to kill him.
Ọ bụ ezie na ha achọtaghị ihe kwesiri ọnwụ nʼaka ya. Ma ha rịọrọ Pailet ka o nye ike ka e gbuo ya.
29 And when they completed all the things written about him, having taken him down from the tree, they laid him in a tomb.
Mgbe ha mezuru ihe niile e dere banyere ya, ha budatara ya site nʼelu obe, lie ya.
30 But God raised him from the dead,
Ma Chineke mere ka o si nʼọnwụ bilie.
31 who was seen for more days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are witnesses of him to the people.
Ndị niile soro ya jegharịa site na Galili ruo Jerusalem hụkwara ya anya ọtụtụ ụbọchị. Ndị a bụkwa ndị na-agba ama nʼihu ndị mmadụ banyere ya.
32 And we proclaim good news to you: the promise to the fathers, which happened because God has fulfilled this to us their children, having raised up Jesus,
“Anyị na-ezikwa unu oziọma a, nke nkwa ahụ Chineke kwere ndị nna nna anyị ha.
33 as also it is written in the second psalm, Thou are my Son, today I have begotten thee.
O mezuola ha nye anyị bụ ụmụ ha, site na-ime ka Jisọs site nʼọnwụ bilie, dịka e dere ya nʼakwụkwọ Abụ ọma, “‘Ị bụ ọkpara m, taa abụrụla m nna gị.’
34 And because he raised him from the dead, no longer going to return to decay, he has spoken this way: I will give to you the faithful holy things of David.
Ma banyere ime ka o site nʼọnwụ bilie, ka ọ ghara ịlaghachi nʼire ure ọzọ. Nke a bụ ihe o kwuru, “‘Aga m emezuru gị nkwa nsọ ahụ niile m kwere Devid.’
35 Therefore also he says in another, Thou will not give thy Holy Man to see decay.
E dekwara ya nʼebe ọzọ nʼabụ ọma, “‘Ị gakwaghị ahapụ anụ ahụ nke Onye gị dị nsọ ka ọ hụ ire ure.’
36 For indeed David, who served his own generation in the plan of God, became asleep, and was added near his fathers, and saw decay.
“Mgbe Devid rụzuru ọrụ Chineke chọrọ ka ọ rụọ nʼọgbọ ha, ọ nwụrụ, e likọọ ya na ndị nna nna ya ha o rekwara ure.
37 But he whom God raised up saw no decay.
Ma onye ahụ Chineke mere ka o site nʼọnwụ bilite erekwaghị ure.
38 Be it known to you therefore, men, brothers, that through this man remission of sins is proclaimed to you.
“Ya mere, ụmụnna m, achọrọ m ka o doo unu anya na mgbaghara mmehie dịkwa nʼime nwoke a, bụ Jisọs, anyị na-ekwusa nye unu.
39 And from all things of which ye could not be make righteous by the law of Moses, in this man every man who believes is made righteous.
A na-esite na ya gụọ onye ọbụla kwere nʼonye ezi omume ọ bụladị site nʼihe ndị ahụ niile nke iwu Mosis na-apụghị ịgụ unu dị ka ndị ezi omume.
40 Watch therefore, lest that which is spoken in the prophets should come upon you:
Lezienụ anya ka ihe niile ndị amụma kwuru ghara ịdakwasị unu.
41 Behold, ye scoffers, and wonder, and perish, because I work a work in your days, which ye would, no, not believe, if some man should fully narrate it to you.
“‘Lee, unu ndị na-akwa emo, nọrọnụ na mgbagwoju anya ma lakwanụ nʼiyi. Nʼihi na agaje m ime otu ihe nʼụbọchị unu nke unu na-agaghị ekwe na o mere, ọ bụladị na mmadụ kọrọ unu maka ya.’”
42 And as they went out from the synagogue of the Jews, the Gentiles urged that these sayings be spoken to them the next sabbath.
Mgbe Pọl na Banabas na-apụ, ndị mmadụ rịọrọ ha ka ha bịakwa nʼizu ụka ọzọ gwa ha okwu gbasara ihe ndị a.
43 Now after the synagogue was dismissed, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, while conversing, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
Mgbe a gbasara nzukọ ahụ, ọtụtụ ndị Juu na ndị mba ọzọ na-atụ egwu Chineke sooro Pọl na Banabas, ndị gwara ha okwu, rịọsiekwa ha ike ka ha nọgide nʼamara Chineke.
44 And on the coming sabbath almost all the city was assembled to hear the word of God.
Nʼụbọchị izuike ọzọ ahụ, ọtụtụ ndị bi nʼobodo ahụ pụtara ịnụrụ okwu Onyenwe anyị.
45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled of envy, and contradicted the things spoken by Paul, contradicting and slandering.
Mgbe ndị Juu hụrụ igwe mmadụ ndị a, obi ha jupụtara nʼekworo, ha bidokwara ikwu okwu ọjọọ megide okwu niile Pọl na-ekwu.
46 But having spoken boldly, Paul and Barnabas said, It was necessary for the word of God to be spoken first to you, but since ye thrust it away, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
Ma Pọl na Banabas kwuru okwu na-asọghị anya sị, “Ọ dị mkpa na anyị buuru ụzọ gwa unu okwu nke Chineke, ma ebe ọ bụ na unu jụrụ ịnabata ya, na-echekwa na unu ekwesighị inweta ndụ ebighị ebi, lee, anyị ga-agakwuru ndị mba ọzọ. (aiōnios g166)
47 For so the Lord has commanded us: I have placed thee for a light of Gentiles, for thee to be for salvation as far as the extremity of the earth.
Nʼihi na nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị nyere anyị nʼiwu, “‘Emeela m ka unu bụrụ ìhè nye ndị mba ọzọ, ka ị nwee ike weruo nzọpụta nʼebe niile ụwa sọtụrụ.’”
48 And hearing this, the Gentiles were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. And as many as were appointed for eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)
Mgbe ndị mba ọzọ nụrụ ihe ndị a, obi tọrọ ha ụtọ, ha sọpụkwara okwu nke Onyenwe anyị. Ya mere ndị niile a họpụtara inweta ndụ ebighị ebi bụ ndị kwenyerenụ. (aiōnios g166)
49 And the word of the Lord was spread abroad through the whole region.
Ya mere okwu Onyenwe anyị gbasara ruo ebe niile nʼobodo ahụ.
50 But the Jews incited the religious women, and the prominent women, and the principle men of the city, and raised up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas. And they threw them out of their boundaries.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị Juu kpaliri obi ọtụtụ ụmụ nwanyị na-atụ egwu Chineke ndị ọnọdụ ha dị elu, na ndị ikom ndị nke ndu obodo ahụ. Ha kpasuru mkpagbu megide Pọl na Banabas si otu a, chụpụ ha site nʼobodo ahụ.
51 But after shaking off the dust of their feet against them, they came to Iconium.
Ha tichapụrụ aja dị nʼụkwụ ha ka ọ bụrụ ihe ịdọ aka na ntị mmegide ha. Ha hapụrụ obodo ahụ gaa Aikoniọm.
52 And the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.
Ma ndị na-eso ụzọ ya jupụtakwara nʼọṅụ na nʼike nke Mmụọ Nsọ.
