Acts 14
1 At Iconium, Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish synagogue, where they spoke so well that a great number of Jews and Greeks believed.
Nʼobodo Aikoniọm, Pọl na Banabas banyekwara nʼụlọ nzukọ ndị Juu, kwuo okwu nʼụzọ pụrụ iche nke mere nʼọtụtụ mmadụ, ndị Juu na ndị mba ọzọ kwenyekwara.
2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.
Ndị Juu, ndị na-anabataghị okwu ahụ, kpaliri ndị mba ọzọ mee ka mkpụrụobi ha jọọ njọ megide ụmụnna.
3 So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, who affirmed the message of His grace by enabling them to perform signs and wonders.
Otu ọ dị, ha nọgidere nʼebe ahụ ogologo oge, na-ekwusakwa okwu nke Onyenwe anyị na-atụghị egwu ọbụla. Onye nke gosikwara na ọ bụ okwu amara ya ka ha na-ekwu site nʼinye ha ike ịrụ ọrụ ịrịbama na ọrụ ebube dị iche iche.
4 The people of the city were divided. Some sided with the Jews, and others with the apostles.
Ma ndị obodo ahụ kewara abụọ, ụfọdụ nʼime ha dịnyere ndị Juu. Ụfọdụ dịnyekwara ndị ozi.
5 But when the Gentiles and Jews, together with their rulers, set out to mistreat and stone them,
Mgbe ndị mba ọzọ, na ndị Juu, ha na ndị ndu ha, gbara izu ime ha ihe ihere, tụọkwa ha nkume.
6 they found out about it and fled to the Lycaonian cities of Lystra and Derbe and to the surrounding region,
Ndị ozi ahụ matara nzube ha site nʼebe ahụ gbapụ ọsọ gbaruo nʼakụkụ Laikonia, gbaba nʼime obodo Listra na Debi na obodo nta ndị ọzọ ndị dị nʼakụkụ ebe ahụ.
7 where they continued to preach the gospel.
Nʼebe ahụ, ha gara nʼihu na-ekwusakwa oziọma ahụ.
8 In Lystra there sat a man crippled in his feet, who was lame from birth and had never walked.
Nʼobodo Listra, o nwere otu nwoke dara ngwụrọ site nʼoge a mụrụ ya. Nwoke a ejibeghị ụkwụ ya abụọ gaa ije mgbe ọbụla.
9 This man was listening to the words of Paul, who looked intently at him and saw that he had faith to be healed.
O gere ntị mgbe Pọl na-ekwu okwu. Onye legidere ya anya hụ na ọ nwere okwukwe nke a ga-eji mee ka a gwọọ ya,
10 In a loud voice Paul called out, “Stand up on your feet!” And the man jumped up and began to walk.
were oke olu sị, “Guzoro nʼụkwụ gị abụọ.” Nwoke ahụ wuliri elu malite ịga ije.
11 When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices in the Lycaonian language: “The gods have come down to us in human form!”
Mgbe igwe mmadụ ahụ hụrụ ihe Pọl mere, ha tiri mkpu nʼasụsụ Laikonia sị, “Ndị a bụ chi bịakwutere anyị nʼụdịdị mmadụ.”
12 Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.
Banabas ka ha kpọrọ Zeus ma kpọkwa Pọl Hamis nʼihi na ọ bụ ya bụ onye ọka okwu.
13 The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought bulls and wreaths to the city gates, hoping to offer a sacrifice along with the crowds.
Onye nchụaja Zeus, nke ụlọ arụsị ya dị nso nʼihu obodo, kpụtara oke ehi wetakwa okoko osisi dị iche iche. Ya na igwe mmadụ ahụ chọrọ ịchụ aja nye ha nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ha.
14 But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul found out about this, they tore their clothes and rushed into the crowd, shouting,
Mgbe ndị ozi ahụ, Banabas na Pọl nụrụ ihe ndị a, ha dọwara uwe ha, gbara ọsọ jekwuru igwe mmadụ ahụ na-eti mkpu,
15 “Men, why are you doing this? We too are only men, human like you. We are bringing you good news that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and sea and everything in them.
na-asị, “Ndị ikom, gịnị ka unu na-achọ ime? Lee, anyị bụkwa mmadụ dị ka unu. Ọ bụ oziọma ka anyị wetaara unu. Anyị chọrọ ka unu site nʼịsọpụrụ ihe ndị a na-abaghị uru, bịakwute Chineke dị ndụ. Onye kere eluigwe na ụwa, na oke osimiri na ihe niile dị nʼime ha.
16 In past generations, He let all nations go their own way.
Nʼoge gara aga, ọ hapụrụ mba niile ka ha na-eme ihe masịrị ha.
17 Yet He has not left Himself without testimony to His goodness: He gives you rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.”
Nʼagbanyeghị nke a ọ hapụghị ị debere onwe ya ihe ndị ga-agbara ya akaebe, site nʼọrụ ọma ya niile. Dị ka inye unu mmiri ozuzo site nʼeluigwe, na mkpụrụ nke ala nʼoge ha. Ọ na-enyekwa unu nri na-emekwa ka obi na-atọ unu ụtọ.”
18 Even with these words, Paul and Barnabas could hardly stop the crowds from sacrificing to them.
Nʼagbanyeghị okwu ndị a, ọ rara ha ahụ igbochi igwe mmadụ ahụ ịchụrụ ha aja.
19 Then some Jews arrived from Antioch and Iconium and won over the crowds. They stoned Paul and dragged him outside the city, presuming he was dead.
Ma ndị Juu sitere nʼAntiọk na Aikoniọm bịara kpalie obi igwe mmadụ ahụ. Nʼihi ya, ha tụrụ Pọl nkume, dọkpụrụ ya pụọ nʼobodo, chee na ọ nwụọla.
20 But after the disciples had gathered around him, he got up and went back into the city. And the next day he left with Barnabas for Derbe.
Ma mgbe ndị na-eso ụzọ bịara gbaa ya gburugburu, o bilitere, laghachikwa nʼime obodo ahụ. Ma nʼechi ya, ya na Banabas sooro gaa Debi.
21 They preached the gospel to that city and made many disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
Ha zisasịrị oziọma nʼime obodo ahụ, nke mere ka ọtụtụ mmadụ bụrụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya. Ha lọghachiri nʼobodo Listra site ya gaa Aikoniọm na Antiọk.
22 strengthening the souls of the disciples and encouraging them to continue in the faith. “We must endure many hardships to enter the kingdom of God,” they said.
Nʼebe ahụ ha gbara ndị na-eso ụzọ ume kasịekwa ha obi sị ha jidesie okwukwe ahụ ike. Ha sịrị, “Anyị ga-agabiga ọtụtụ mkpagbu dị iche iche tupu anyị abaa nʼalaeze Chineke.”
23 Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for them in each church, praying and fasting as they entrusted them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.
Mgbe ha họpụtachara ndị okenye nʼime nzukọ niile. Ha sitere nʼobubu ọnụ na ekpere tinye ha nʼaka Onyenwe anyị, bụ onye ha kwenyere na ya.
24 After passing through Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.
Ha sitere nʼakụkụ Pisidia garuo Pamfilia.
25 And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
Mgbe ha zisachara oziọma nʼobodo Pega, ha gbadara gaa Atalia.
26 From Attalia they sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work they had just completed.
Site nʼebe ahụ, ha sooro ụgbọ mmiri jeruo Antiọk bụ ebe a nọ nyefee ha nʼamara Chineke nʼihi ọrụ ndị a ha rụzuru.
27 When they arrived, they gathered the church together and reported all that God had done through them, and how He had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
Mgbe ha bịaruru, ha kpọkọtara nzukọ kọwara ha ihe niile Chineke sitere nʼaka ha mee, na otu o siri meghe ọnụ ụzọ nke okwukwe nye ndị mba ọzọ.
28 And they spent a long time there with the disciples.
Ha na ndị na-eso ụzọ nọgidere nʼebe ahụ ruo oge dị anya.
