Acts 11
1 Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
Ndị ozi na ụmụnna ndị bi na Judịa niile nụrụ na ndị mba ọzọ anabatala okwu Chineke.
2 When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,
Mgbe Pita ruru Jerusalem, ndị kwere ekwe e biri ugwu tara ya ụta,
3 saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!”
na-asị, “Gịnị mere ị ji gakwuru ndị a na-ebighị ugwu soro ha rie ihe?”
4 But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,
Pita kọwaara ha ihe niile mere na otu o si mee, na-asị.
5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.
“Otu ụbọchị, mgbe m nọ nʼobodo Jopa, ahụrụ m ọhụ nʼoge m na-ekpe ekpere. Nʼime ọhụ a, ahụrụ m ihe yiri akwa ọcha dị obosara nke e sitere nʼakụkụ anọ ya na-ewedata site nʼeluigwe. E budatara ya nʼihu m.
6 When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky.
Nʼime ya, ahụrụ m anụmanụ ndị nwere ụkwụ anọ, na anụ ọhịa, na anụ ndị na-akpụ akpụ nʼala na ụmụ nnụnụ nke eluigwe.
7 I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’
Mgbe ahụ, anụrụ m olu gwara m sị, ‘Pita, bilie, gbuo ma riekwa.’
8 But I said, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’
“Ma asịrị m, ‘Mba, Onyenwe m, ọ dịbeghị mgbe ihe na-adịghị ọcha maọbụ ihe rụrụ arụ bara m nʼọnụ.’
9 But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, do not you call unclean.’
“Olu ahụ siri nʼeluigwe zaghachi nke ugboro abụọ, ‘Akpọla ihe ọbụla ihe rụrụ arụ bụ nke Chineke mere ka ọ dị ọcha.’
10 This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
Nke a mere ugboro atọ, ma emesịa dọlie ha niile laa nʼeluigwe.
11 Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
“Nʼotu oge ahụ, ndị ikom atọ ndị e zipụrụ site Sizaria ịkpọ m bịarutere kwụsị nʼọnụ ụzọ nʼụlọ ebe m nọ.
12 The Spirit told me to go with them without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house.
Mmụọ Nsọ gwara m ka m ghara inwe obi abụọ isoro ha na-akpaghị oke ọbụla. Mmadụ isii ndị a nʼetiti ụmụnna anyị sokwa m, bịarute nʼụlọ nwoke ahụ.
13 He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa and get Simon, who is called Peter,
Ọ gwara anyị otu o si hụ mmụọ ozi nʼụlọ ya, onye sịrị, ‘Ziga ndị ozi jee Jopa ka ha kpọta Saimọn onye a na-akpọ Pita.
14 who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’
Ọ ga-ewetara gị ozi nke a ga-esite na ya zọpụta gị nʼezinaụlọ gị niile.’
15 As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.
“Mgbe m ka kpụ okwu ahụ nʼọnụ, Mmụọ Nsọ bịakwasịrị ha dịka o siri bịakwasị anyị na mbụ.
16 I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.’
Mgbe ahụ, echetara m okwu ahụ Onyenwe anyị kwuru sị, ‘Jọn ji mmiri mee unu baptizim, ma a ga-eji Mmụọ Nsọ mee unu baptizim.’
17 If then God gave to them the same gift as us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?”
Ya mere, ọ bụrụ na Chineke nyere ha otu onyinye ahụ o nyere anyị mgbe anyị kweere nʼOnyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst, onye ka m bụ iguzogide Chineke?”
18 When they heard these things, they held their peace and glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life!”
Mgbe ha nụrụ nke a, ha agaghị nʼihu nʼịrụ ụka kama ha toro Chineke, na-asị, “Nʼezie, Chineke enyela ohere ka ọ bụladị ndị mba ọzọ chegharịa baa na ndụ.”
19 They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.
Ugbu a, ndị ahụ niile gbasasịrị nʼihi mkpagbu ahụ bidoro mgbe a tụgburu Stivin na nkume, jeruru akụkụ Fonisia na Saiprọs na Antiọk na-ekwusa oziọma ahụ naanị nʼetiti ndị Juu.
20 But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.
Ma otu ọ dị, ụfọdụ nʼime ndị ikom ndị ahụ sitere nʼakụkụ Saiprọs na Sirini gara Antiọk, malite ikwusara ndị Griik oziọma banyere Onyenwe anyị Jisọs.
21 The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
Onyenwe anyị gọziri mgbalị ha niile. Nʼihi na ọtụtụ mmadụ chegharịrị kwere nʼOnyenwe anyị.
22 The report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem. They sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch,
Mgbe nzukọ dị na Jerusalem nụrụ ihe ndị a, ha zipụrụ Banabas ka ọ gaa Antiọk.
23 who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.
Mgbe o rutere, hụ ihe amara Chineke rụrụ nʼetiti ha. Ọ ṅụrịrị ọṅụ, mgbakwaa ha niile ume, gwa ha ka ha were obi ha niile nọgide nʼime Onyenwe anyị.
24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.
Ọ bụ ezigbo mmadụ, onye jupụtara na Mmụọ Nsọ na okwukwe. O nwekwara okwukwe dị ebube, nʼihi ya ọtụtụ mmadụ chegharịkwara bịakwute Onyenwe anyị.
25 Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.
Emesịa, ọ gara Antiọk obodo Tasọs ịchọ Sọl.
26 When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
Mgbe ọ chọpụtara ya, o duuru ya bịa nʼAntiọk. Ihe ha ka otu afọ, ka ha na-ezukọ nʼụlọ chọọchị na-akụziri ọtụtụ igwe mmadụ ihe. Ọ bụ nʼime Antiọk ka e buru ụzọ kpọọ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ndị Kraịst.
27 Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
Nʼoge ahụ, ndị amụma sitere na Jerusalem bịaruru Antiọk.
28 One of them named Agabus stood up and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.
Otu onye nʼime ha a na-akpọ Agabọs biliri ọtọ buo amụma site nʼike Mmụọ Nsọ banyere oke ụnwụ ga-abịakwasị ụwa niile. Amụma a mezukwara nʼoge Klọdiọs na-achị.
29 As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;
Ndị na-eso ụzọ ya kwekọrịtara ịtụkọta na iziga onyinye dị iche iche nye ndị kwere ekwe nọ na Judịa. Onye ọbụla nyekwara ihe dịka o nwere ike.
30 which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
Ha mere nke a, ha zigara ndị okenye ihe ha tụkọtara, site nʼaka Banabas na Sọl.
