Acts 11
1 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judæa heard that the Gentiles had also 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, Thou wentest 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 rehearsed [the matter] from the beginning, and expounded [it] by order unto them, saying,
Pita kọwaara ha ihe niile mere na otu o si mee, na-asị.
5 I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to 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 Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild 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 a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
Mgbe ahụ, anụrụ m olu gwara m sị, ‘Pita, bilie, gbuo ma riekwa.’
8 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time 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 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, [that] call not thou 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 drawn up again into heaven.
Nke a mere ugboro atọ, ma emesịa dọlie ha niile laa nʼeluigwe.
11 And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Cæsarea unto me.
“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 bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, 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 shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is 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 tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.
Ọ ga-ewetara gị ozi nke a ga-esite na ya zọpụta gị nʼezinaụlọ gị niile.’
15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
“Mgbe m ka kpụ okwu ahụ nʼọnụ, Mmụọ Nsọ bịakwasịrị ha dịka o siri bịakwasị anyị na mbụ.
16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye 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 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as [he did] unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I 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 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted 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 which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto 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 And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, 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 believed, and turned unto the Lord.
Onyenwe anyị gọziri mgbalị ha niile. Nʼihi na ọtụtụ mmadụ chegharịrị kwere nʼOnyenwe anyị.
22 Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.
Mgbe nzukọ dị na Jerusalem nụrụ ihe ndị a, ha zipụrụ Banabas ka ọ gaa Antiọk.
23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto 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 much people was added unto 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 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:
Emesịa, ọ gara Antiọk obodo Tasọs ịchọ Sọl.
26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
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 came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.
Nʼoge ahụ, ndị amụma sitere na Jerusalem bịaruru Antiọk.
28 And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Cæsar.
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 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judæa:
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, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
Ha mere nke a, ha zigara ndị okenye ihe ha tụkọtara, site nʼaka Banabas na Sọl.
