Acts 11
1 And the apostles and brethren, who were in Judea, heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
Ndị ozi na ụmụnna ndị bi na Judịa niile nụrụ na ndị mba ọzọ anabatala okwu Chineke.
2 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
Mgbe Pita ruru Jerusalem, ndị kwere ekwe e biri ugwu tara ya ụta,
3 Saying: Why didst thou go in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them?
na-asị, “Gịnị mere ị ji gakwuru ndị a na-ebighị ugwu soro ha rie ihe?”
4 But Peter began and declared to them the matter in order, saying:
Pita kọwaara ha ihe niile mere na otu o si mee, na-asị.
5 I was in the city of Joppe praying, and I saw in an ecstasy of mind a vision, a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners, and it came even unto 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 Into which looking, I considered, and saw fourfooted creatures of the earth, and beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air:
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 And I heard also a voice saying to me: Arise, Peter; kill and eat.
Mgbe ahụ, anụrụ m olu gwara m sị, ‘Pita, bilie, gbuo ma riekwa.’
8 And I said: Not so, Lord; for nothing common or unclean hath 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 And the voice answered again from heaven: What God hath made clean, do not thou call common.
“Olu ahụ siri nʼeluigwe zaghachi nke ugboro abụọ, ‘Akpọla ihe ọbụla ihe rụrụ arụ bụ nke Chineke mere ka ọ dị ọcha.’
10 And this was done three times: and all were taken up again into heaven.
Nke a mere ugboro atọ, ma emesịa dọlie ha niile laa nʼeluigwe.
11 And behold, immediately there were three men come to the house wherein I was, sent to me from Caesarea.
“Nʼotu oge ahụ, ndị ikom atọ ndị e zipụrụ site Sizaria ịkpọ m bịarutere kwụsị nʼọnụ ụzọ nʼụlọ ebe m nọ.
12 And the Spirit said to me, that I should go with them, nothing doubting. And these six brethren went with me also: 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 And he told us how he had seen an angel in his house, standing, and saying to him: Send to Joppe, and call hither Simon, who is surnamed 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 shall speak to thee words, whereby thou shalt be saved, and all thy house.
Ọ ga-ewetara gị ozi nke a ga-esite na ya zọpụta gị nʼezinaụlọ gị niile.’
15 And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Ghost fell upon them, as upon us also in the beginning.
“Mgbe m ka kpụ okwu ahụ nʼọnụ, Mmụọ Nsọ bịakwasịrị ha dịka o siri bịakwasị anyị na mbụ.
16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said: John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
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 them the same grace, as to us also who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ; who was I, that 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 Having heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying: God then hath also to the Gentiles given repentance unto 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 Now they who had been dispersed by the persecution that arose on occasion of Stephen, went about as far as Phenice and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to none, but to the 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 some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they were entered into Antioch, spoke also to the Greeks, 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 And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believing, were converted to the Lord.
Onyenwe anyị gọziri mgbalị ha niile. Nʼihi na ọtụtụ mmadụ chegharịrị kwere nʼOnyenwe anyị.
22 And the tidings came to the ears of the church that was at Jerusalem, touching these things: and they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch.
Mgbe nzukọ dị na Jerusalem nụrụ ihe ndị a, ha zipụrụ Banabas ka ọ gaa Antiọk.
23 Who, when he was come, and had seen the grace of God, rejoiced: and he exhorted them all with purpose of heart to continue in 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 Ghost and of faith. And a great multitude was 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 And Barnabas went to Tarsus to seek Saul: whom, when he had found, he brought to Antioch.
Emesịa, ọ gara Antiọk obodo Tasọs ịchọ Sọl.
26 And they conversed there in the church a whole year; and they taught a great multitude, so that at Antioch the disciples were first named Christians.
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 And in these days there came prophets from Jerusalem to Antioch:
Nʼoge ahụ, ndị amụma sitere na Jerusalem bịaruru Antiọk.
28 And one of them named Agabus, rising up, signified by the Spirit, that there should be a great famine over the whole world, which came to pass under 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 And the disciples, every man according to his ability, purposed to send relief to the brethren who dwelt 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 also they did, sending it to the ancients, by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
Ha mere nke a, ha zigara ndị okenye ihe ha tụkọtara, site nʼaka Banabas na Sọl.
