< Acts 15 >
1 And certain persons, having come down from Judaea, taught the brethren, If ye shall not have been circumcised according to the custom of Moses, ye cannot 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 A commotion therefore having taken place, and no small discussion on the part of Paul and Barnabas against them, they arranged that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others from amongst them, should 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 therefore, having been set on their way by the assembly, passed through Phoenicia and Samaria, relating the conversion of [those of] the nations. And they caused great joy to all the brethren.
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 And being arrived at Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly, and the apostles, and the elders, and related all that God had wrought 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 And some of those who were of the sect of the Pharisees, who believed, rose up from among [them], saying that they ought to circumcise them and enjoin 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 And 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 And much discussion having taken place, Peter, standing up, said to them, Brethren, ye know that from the earliest days God amongst you chose that the nations by my mouth should hear the word of the glad tidings 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 And the heart-knowing God bore them witness, giving [them] the Holy Spirit as to us also,
Ọlọ́run, tí ó jẹ́ olùmọ̀-ọkàn, sì jẹ́ wọn lẹ́rìí, ó fún wọn ni Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwa.
9 and put no difference between us and them, having purified 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 tempt ye God, by putting a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we have been 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 shall be saved by the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same manner as they also.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwa gbàgbọ́ pé nípa oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Olúwa Jesu àwa ó là, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn.”
12 And all the multitude kept silence and listened to Barnabas and Paul relating all the signs and wonders which God had wrought among the nations by 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 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Brethren, listen to me:
Lẹ́yìn tí wọn sì dákẹ́, Jakọbu dáhùn, wí pé, “Ará, ẹ gbọ́ tèmi,
14 Simon has related how God first visited to take out of [the] nations 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 And with this agree 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, and will rebuild the tabernacle of David which is fallen, and will rebuild its ruins, and 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 so that the residue of men may seek out the Lord, and all the nations on whom my name is invoked, saith [the] Lord, who does 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,
18 known from eternity. (aiōn )
ẹni tí ó sọ gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí di mímọ́ láti ọjọ́ pípẹ́ wá. (aiōn )
19 Wherefore I judge, not to trouble those who from the nations turn to God;
“Ǹjẹ́ ìmọ̀ràn tèmi ni pé, kí a máa ṣe yọ àwọn ti aláìkọlà ti ó yípadà sí Ọlọ́run lẹ́nu.
20 but to write to them to abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and 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 to the elders, with the whole assembly, to send chosen men from among them with Paul and Barnabas to Antioch, Judas called Barsabas and Silas, leading men among the brethren,
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 having by their hand written [thus]: The apostles, and the elders, and the brethren, to the brethren who are from among [the] nations at Antioch, and [in] Syria and Cilicia, greeting:
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 Inasmuch as we have heard that some who went out from amongst us have troubled you by words, upsetting your souls, [saying that ye 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 arrived at a common judgment, to send chosen men 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 given up 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 therefore sent Judas and Silas, who themselves also will tell you by word [of mouth] the same things.
Nítorí náà àwa rán Judasi àti Sila àwọn tí yóò sì fi ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu sọ ohun kan náà fún yín.
28 For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden 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 to abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from fornication; keeping yourselves from which ye will do well. Farewell.
í ẹ̀yin fàsẹ́yìn kúrò nínú ẹran ti à pa bọ òrìṣà, àti nínú ẹ̀jẹ̀ àti nínú ohun ìlọ́lọ́rùnpa, àti nínú àgbèrè. Bí ẹ̀yin bá pa ara yín mọ́ kúrò, ẹ̀yin ó ṣe rere. Àlàáfíà.
30 They therefore, being let go, came to Antioch, and having gathered the multitude delivered to [them] the epistle.
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 And having read it, they rejoiced at the consolation.
Nígbà tí wọn sì kà á, wọ́n yọ̀ fún ìtùnú náà.
32 And Judas and Silas, being themselves also prophets, exhorted the brethren with much discourse, 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 And having passed some time [there], they were let go in peace from the brethren to those who sent them.
Nígbà tí wọn sì pẹ́, díẹ̀, àwọn arákùnrin rán wọn padà lọ ni àlàáfíà sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn tí ó rán wọn wá.
35 And Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and announcing the glad tidings, with many others also, of the word of the Lord.
Paulu àti Barnaba sì dúró díẹ̀ ni Antioku, wọ́n ń kọ́ni, wọ́n sì ń wàásù ọ̀rọ̀, Olúwa, àti àwọn púpọ̀ mìíràn pẹ̀lú wọn.
36 But after certain days Paul said to Barnabas, Let us return now and visit the brethren in every city where we have announced the word of the Lord, [and see] how they are getting on.
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 And Barnabas proposed to take with [them] John also, called Mark;
Barnaba sì pinnu rẹ̀ láti mú Johanu lọ pẹ̀lú wọn, ẹni tí àpèlé rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Marku.
38 but Paul thought it not well to take with them him who had abandoned them, [going back] from Pamphylia, and had not gone with them to 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 There arose therefore very warm feeling, so that they separated from one another; and Barnabas taking Mark 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 having chosen Silas went forth, committed by the brethren 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 And he passed through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the assemblies.
Ó sì la Siria àti Kilikia lọ, ó ń mú ìjọ ní ọkàn le.
