Acts 13
1 Now there were in Antioch, in the assembly which was [there], prophets and teachers: Barnabas, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, and Manaen, foster-brother of 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 as they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Separate me now Barnabas and Saul for the work to which 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 having laid [their] hands on them, they let [them] go.
Ya mere, mgbe ha busiri ọnụ kpekwa ekpere, ha bikwasịrị ha aka nʼisi zipụ ha.
4 They therefore, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and thence sailed away to Cyprus.
Ebe Mmụọ Nsọ zipụrụ ha, ha gbadara Selusia, sitekwa ebe ahụ gbadaa Saiprọs.
5 And being in Salamis, they announced the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John also as [their] attendant.
Mgbe ha bịaruru Salamis, ha banyere nʼụlọ nzukọ ndị Juu kwusaa okwu Chineke. Jọn sokwa ha dịka onye na-ejere ha ozi.
6 And having passed through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a certain man a magician, a false prophet, a Jew, 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. He, having called Barnabas and Saul to [him], desired 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 magician (for so his name is by interpretation) opposed them, seeking to turn away 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, who also [is] Paul, filled with [the] Holy Spirit, fixing his eyes upon him,
Ma Sọl, onye aha ya bụkwa Pọl, onye jupụtara na Mmụọ Nsọ, legidere ya anya
10 said, O full of all deceit and all craft: son of [the] devil, enemy of all righteousness; wilt thou not cease perverting the right paths 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, [the] Lord's hand [is] upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell upon him a mist and darkness; and going about he sought persons who should lead him by the hand.
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, seeing what had happened, believed, being amazed at the teaching of the Lord.
Mgbe onyeisi ahụ hụrụ ihe mere, o kweere, nʼihi na o juru ya anya bụ ozizi nke okwu Onyenwe anyị.
13 And having sailed from Paphos, Paul and his company came to Perga of Pamphylia; and John separated from them and 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 But they, passing through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia; and 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 rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, Brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation to 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, rising up and making a sign with the hand, said, Israelites, and ye that fear God, hearken.
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 exalted the people in their sojourn in [the] land of Egypt, and with a high arm 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 a time of about forty years he nursed them in the desert.
Ọ nagidere ha iri afọ anọ nʼime ọzara.
19 And having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance.
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 till Samuel the prophet, [to the end of] about four hundred and fifty years.
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 then they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul, son of Kis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, during 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 to them David for king, of whom also bearing witness he said, I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who shall do all my will.
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 Of this man's seed according to promise has God brought to Israel a Saviour, Jesus;
“Jisọs onye si nʼezinaụlọ Devid pụta ka Chineke wetaara Izrel Onye nzọpụta ahụ bụ Jisọs, dịka o kwere nkwa izite.
24 John having proclaimed before the face of his entry [among the people] [the] baptism of repentance to all the people of 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 that I am? I am not [he]. But behold, there comes one after me, the sandal of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.
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 Brethren, sons of Abraham's race, and those who among you fear God, to you has the word of this salvation been 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 him, have fulfilled also the voices of the prophets which are read on every sabbath, [by] judging [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 having found no cause of death [in him], they begged of Pilate that he might be slain.
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 had fulfilled all things written concerning him, they took him down from the cross and put him in a sepulchre;
Mgbe ha mezuru ihe niile e dere banyere ya, ha budatara ya site nʼelu obe, lie ya.
30 but God raised him from among [the] dead,
Ma Chineke mere ka o si nʼọnwụ bilie.
31 who appeared for many days to those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses 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 declare unto you the glad tidings of the promise made to the fathers,
“Anyị na-ezikwa unu oziọma a, nke nkwa ahụ Chineke kwere ndị nna nna anyị ha.
33 that God has fulfilled this to us their children, having raised up Jesus; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son: this day have I 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 But that he raised him from among [the] dead, no more to return to corruption, he spoke thus: I will give to you the faithful mercies 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 Wherefore also he says in another, Thou wilt not suffer thy gracious one to see corruption.
E dekwara ya nʼebe ọzọ nʼabụ ọma, “‘Ị gakwaghị ahapụ anụ ahụ nke Onye gị dị nsọ ka ọ hụ ire ure.’
36 For David indeed, having in his own generation ministered to the will of God, fell asleep, and was added to his fathers and saw corruption.
“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 did not see corruption.
Ma onye ahụ Chineke mere ka o site nʼọnwụ bilite erekwaghị ure.
38 Be it known unto you, therefore, brethren, that through this man remission of sins is preached 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 from which ye could not be justified in the law of Moses, in him every one that believes is justified.
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 See therefore that that which is spoken in the prophets do not come upon [you],
Lezienụ anya ka ihe niile ndị amụma kwuru ghara ịdakwasị unu.
41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder and perish; for I work a work in your days, a work which ye will in no wise believe if one declare 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 they begged that these words might be spoken to them the ensuing 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 And the congregation of the synagogue having broken up, many of the Jews and of the worshipping proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who speaking to them, 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 gathered together to hear the word of God.
Nʼụbọchị izuike ọzọ ahụ, ọtụtụ ndị bi nʼobodo ahụ pụtara ịnụrụ okwu Onyenwe anyị.
45 But the Jews, seeing the crowds, were filled with envy, and contradicted the things said by Paul, [contradicting and] speaking injuriously.
Mgbe ndị Juu hụrụ igwe mmadụ ndị a, obi ha jupụtara nʼekworo, ha bidokwara ikwu okwu ọjọọ megide okwu niile Pọl na-ekwu.
46 And Paul and Barnabas spoke boldly and said, It was necessary that the word of God should be first spoken to you; but, since ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the nations; (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 thus has the Lord enjoined us: I have set thee for a light of the nations, that thou shouldest be for salvation to the end 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 [those of] the nations, hearing it, rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord, and believed, as many as were ordained to eternal life. (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 carried through the whole country.
Ya mere okwu Onyenwe anyị gbasara ruo ebe niile nʼobodo ahụ.
50 But the Jews excited the women of the upper classes who were worshippers, and the first people of the city, and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their coasts.
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 they, having shaken off the dust of their feet against them, 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.
