Acts 9
1 But Saul, still breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, came to the high priest
Ṣùgbọ́n síbẹ̀, Saulu sí ń tẹ̀síwájú nínú mímí èémí ìhalẹ̀ mọ́ni àti ìpani sí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn Olúwa. Ó tọ olórí àlùfáà lọ,
2 and asked of him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues, so that if he found any who were of the way, both men and women, he might bring [them] bound to Jerusalem.
ó béèrè ìwé lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ sí Sinagọgu tí ń bẹ ní ìlú Damasku pé, bí òun bá rí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ń bẹ ni ọ̀nà yìí, ìbá à ṣe ọkùnrin, tàbí obìnrin, kí òun lè mú wọn ní dídè wá sí Jerusalẹmu.
3 But as he was journeying, it came to pass that he drew near to Damascus; and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven,
Ó sì ṣe, bí ó ti ń lọ, ó sì súnmọ́ Damasku; lójijì, ìmọ́lẹ̀ láti ọ̀run wá mọ́lẹ̀ yí i ká.
4 and falling on the earth he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why dost thou persecute me?
Ó sì ṣubú lulẹ̀, ó gbọ́ ohùn tí ó ń fọ̀ sí i pé, “Saulu, Saulu, èéṣe ti ìwọ fi ń ṣe inúnibíni sí mi?”
5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he [said], I am Jesus, whom thou persecutest.
Ó sì wí pé, “Ìwọ ta ni, Olúwa?” Olúwa sì wí fún pé, “Èmi ni Jesu, ẹni ti ìwọ ń ṣe inúnibíni sí.
6 But rise up and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
Dìde, kí o sì lọ sí ìlú náà, a ó sì sọ fún ọ nípa ohun tí ìwọ yóò ṣe.”
7 But the men who were travelling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but beholding no one.
Àwọn ọkùnrin tí wọ́n sì ń bá Saulu lọ àjò dúró, wọn kò sì le sọ ohun kan, wọn gbọ́ ohùn náà ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò rí ẹnìkan.
8 And Saul rose up from the earth, and his eyes being opened he saw no one. But leading [him] by the hand they brought him into Damascus.
Saulu sì dìde ní ilẹ̀; nígbà tí ojú rẹ̀ sì lá kò rí ohunkóhun; ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n fà á lọ́wọ́ wọ́n sì mú un wá sí Damasku.
9 And he was three days without seeing, and neither ate nor drank.
Ó sì gbé ọjọ́ mẹ́ta ni àìríran kò sì jẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sì mu.
10 And there was a certain disciple in Damascus by name Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, [here am] I, Lord.
Ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn kan sì wà ní Damasku, tí a ń pè ni Anania! Olúwa sì wí fún un lójúran pé, “Anania!” Ó sì wí pé, “Wò ó, èmi nìyí, Olúwa.”
11 And the Lord [said] to him, Rise up and go into the street which is called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas one by name Saul, [he is] of Tarsus: for, behold, he is praying,
Olúwa sì wí fún un pé, “Dìde kí ó sì lọ sí ilé Judasi ní òpópónà Tààrà, kí ó sì béèrè ẹni tí a ń pè ni Saulu, ara Tarsu, sá wò ó, ó ń gbàdúrà.
12 and has seen [in a vision] a man by name Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him, so that he should see.
Òun sì tí ri ọkùnrin kan lójúran ti a ń pè ni Anania, ó wọlé, ó sì fi ọwọ́ lé e, kí ó lè ríran.”
13 And Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many concerning this man how much evil he has done to thy saints at Jerusalem;
Anania sì dáhùn wí pé, “Olúwa mo tí gbúròó ọkùnrin yìí lọ́dọ̀ ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn, gbogbo búburú ti ó ṣe sí àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ rẹ ni Jerusalẹmu.
14 and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call upon thy name.
Ó sì gba àṣẹ láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn olórí àlùfáà wá sí ìhín yìí, láti de gbogbo àwọn ti ń pe orúkọ rẹ.”
15 And the Lord said to him, Go, for this [man] is an elect vessel to me, to bear my name before both nations and kings and [the] sons of Israel:
Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa wí fún un pé, “Máa lọ; nítorí ohun èlò ààyò ni òun jẹ́ fún mi, láti gbé orúkọ mi lọ sí iwájú àwọn aláìkọlà, àti àwọn ọba, àti àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
16 for I will shew to him how much he must suffer for my name.
Nítorí èmi o fi gbogbo ìyà ti kò le ṣàìjẹ nítorí orúkọ mi hàn án.”
17 And Ananias went and entered into the house; and laying his hands upon him he said, Saul, brother, the Lord has sent me, Jesus that appeared to thee in the way in which thou camest, that thou mightest see, and be filled with [the] Holy Spirit.
Anania sì lọ, ó sì wọ ilé náà, nígbà tí ó fi ọwọ́ rẹ̀ lé Saulu, ó sì wí pé, “Arákùnrin Saulu, Olúwa ni ó rán mi, Jesu tí ó fi ara hàn ọ lọ́nà tí ìwọ bá wá, kí ìwọ ba à lè ríran, kí ó sì kún fún Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́.”
18 And straightway there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he saw, and rising up was baptised;
Lójúkan náà nǹkan kan ti ó dàbí ìpẹ́ sì bọ kúrò lójú rẹ̀, ó sì ríran; ó sì dìde, a sì bamitiisi rẹ̀.
19 and, having received food, got strength. And he was with the disciples who [were] in Damascus certain days.
Nígbà tí ó sì jẹun, ara rẹ̀ mókun. Saulu sì wá pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn ní Damasku ní ọjọ́ púpọ̀.
20 And straightway in the synagogues he preached Jesus that he is the Son of God.
Lójúkan náà ó sì ń wàásù Kristi nínú àwọn Sinagọgu pé, Jesu ni Ọmọ Ọlọ́run.
21 And all who heard were astonished and said, Is not this he who destroyed in Jerusalem those who called on this name, and here was come for this purpose, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?
Ẹnu sì yà gbogbo àwọn ti ó ń gbọ́, wọn sì wí pé, “Èyí ha kọ ẹni ti ó ti fóòro àwọn ti ń pe orúkọ yìí ni Jerusalẹmu? Nítorí èyí náà ni ó sa ṣe wá sí ìhín yìí, láti mú wọn ní dìde lọ sọ́dọ̀ àwọn olórí àlùfáà.”
22 But Saul increased the more in power, and confounded the Jews who dwelt in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
Ṣùgbọ́n Saulu ń pọ̀ sí i ní agbára ó sì ń dààmú àwọn Júù tí ó ń gbé Damasku, ó fihàn pé, èyí ni Kristi náà.
23 Now when many days were fulfilled, the Jews consulted together to kill him.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ọjọ́ púpọ̀ kọjá, àwọn Júù ń gbìmọ̀ láti pa á.
24 But their plot became known to Saul. And they watched also the gates both day and night, that they might kill him;
Ṣùgbọ́n ìdìtẹ̀ wọn di mí mọ̀ fún Saulu. Wọ́n sì ń ṣọ́ ẹnu ibodè pẹ̀lú lọ́sàn àti lóru, wọ́n ń wá ọ̀nà láti pa á.
25 but the disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ gbé ní òru, wọ́n sì sọ̀ ọ́ kalẹ̀ lára odi nínú agbọ̀n.
26 And having arrived at Jerusalem he essayed to join himself to the disciples, and all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
Nígbà ti Saulu sì de Jerusalẹmu ó pète láti da ara rẹ̀ pọ̀ mọ́ àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn; gbogbo wọn sì bẹ̀rù rẹ̀, nítorí wọn kò gbàgbọ́ pé ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn kan ni.
27 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and related to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus.
Ṣùgbọ́n Barnaba mú un, ó sì sìn ín lọ sọ́dọ̀ àwọn aposteli, ó sì sọ fún wọn bí ó ti rí Olúwa ní ọ̀nà, àti bí ó ti fi ìgboyà wàásù ní Damasku ní orúkọ Jesu.
28 And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem,
Saulu sì wà pẹ̀lú wọn, ó ń wọlé, ó sì ń jáde ní Jerusalẹmu. Ó sì ń fi ìgboyà wàásù ni orúkọ Olúwa.
29 and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. And he spoke and discussed with the Hellenists; but they sought to kill him.
Ó ń sọ̀rọ̀ lòdì sí àwọn ará Helleni, ó sì ń jà wọ́n ní iyàn; ṣùgbọ́n wọn ń pète láti pa a.
30 And the brethren knowing it, brought him down to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus.
Nígbà tí àwọn arákùnrin sì mọ̀, wọ́n mú sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Kesarea, wọ́n sì rán an lọ sí Tarsu.
31 The assemblies then throughout the whole of Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being edified and walking in the fear of the Lord, and were increased through the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
Nígbà náà ni ìjọ wà ni àlàáfíà yíká gbogbo Judea àti ni Galili àti ni Samaria, wọn ń fẹsẹ̀múlẹ̀, wọn ń rìn ní ìbẹ̀rù Olúwa, àti ni ìtùnú Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́, wọn ń pọ̀ sí i.
32 Now it came to pass that Peter, passing through all [quarters], descended also to the saints who inhabited Lydda.
Ó sì ṣe, bí Peteru ti ń kọjá lọ káàkiri láàrín wọn, ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ pẹ̀lú si ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ ti ń gbé ni Lida.
33 And he found there a certain man, Aeneas by name, who had been lying for eight years upon a couch, who was paralysed.
Níbẹ̀ ni ó rí ọkùnrin kan ti a pè ní Aenea tí ó ti dùbúlẹ̀ lórí àkéte ni ọdún mẹ́jọ, ó ní ààrùn ẹ̀gbà.
34 And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus, the Christ, heals thee: rise up, and make thy couch for thyself. And straightway he rose up.
Peteru sì wí fún un pé, “Aenea, Jesu Kristi mú ọ láradá; dìde kí ó sì tún àkéte rẹ ṣe.” Ó sì dìde lójúkan náà.
35 And all who inhabited Lydda and the Saron saw him, who turned to the Lord.
Gbogbo àwọn tí ń gbé Lida àti Ṣaroni sì rí i, wọn sì yípadà sí Olúwa.
36 And in Joppa there was a certain female disciple, by name Tabitha, which being interpreted means Dorcas. She was full of good works and alms-deeds which she did.
Ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn kan sí wà ní Joppa ti a ń pè ni Tabita (èyí tí ó túmọ̀ sí Dọkasi); obìnrin yìí pọ̀ ni iṣẹ́ oore, àti ìtọrẹ àánú ṣíṣe.
37 And it came to pass in those days that she grew sick and died; and, having washed her, they put her in [the] upper room.
Ní àkókò náà ni ó wà nínú àìsàn, ó sì kú, wọ́n sì wẹ òkú rẹ̀, wọ́n sì gbé òkú rẹ̀ sí iyàrá òkè.
38 But Lydda being near to Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, beseeching him, Thou must not delay coming to us.
Bí Lida sì ti súnmọ́ Joppa, nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn gbọ́ pé Peteru wà níbẹ̀, wọ́n rán ọkùnrin méjì sí i láti bẹ̀ ẹ́ pé, “Má ṣe jáfara láti dé ọ̀dọ̀ wa.”
39 And Peter rising up went with them, whom, when arrived, they brought up into the upper chamber; and all the widows stood by him weeping and shewing him the body-coats and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
Peteru sí dìde, ó sì bá wọn lọ. Nígbà tí ó dé, wọ́n mú un lọ sí iyàrá òkè náà, gbogbo àwọn opó sí dúró tì í wọn sọkún, wọ́n sì ń fi ẹ̀wù àti aṣọ tí Dọkasi dá hàn án, nígbà tí ó wà pẹ̀lú wọn.
40 But Peter, putting them all out, and kneeling down, prayed. And, turning to the body, he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes, and, seeing Peter, sat up.
Ṣùgbọ́n Peteru ti gbogbo wọn sóde, ó sì kúnlẹ̀, ó sí gbàdúrà; ó sì yípadà sí òkú, ó ní “Tabita, dìde.” Ó sì la ojú rẹ̀, nígbà tí ó sì rí Peteru, ó dìde jókòó.
41 And having given her [his] hand, he raised her up, and having called the saints and the widows, presented her living.
Ó sì na ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sí i, ó fà á dìde; nígbà tí ó sì pe àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ àti àwọn opó, ó fi lé wọn lọ́wọ́ láààyè.
42 And it became known throughout the whole of Joppa, and many believed on the Lord.
Èyí sì di mí mọ̀ já gbogbo Joppa; ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ sì gba Olúwa gbọ́.
43 And it came to pass that he remained many days in Joppa with a certain Simon, a tanner.
Ó gbé ọjọ́ púpọ̀ ni Joppa ní ọ̀dọ̀ ọkùnrin kan Simoni oníṣọ̀nà-awọ.
