< Acts 11 >

1 And the apostles and the brothers who are in Judea heard that the nations also received the word of God,
Na rĩrĩ, atũmwo, na ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ arĩa maarĩ Judea guothe makĩigua atĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ o nao nĩmarĩkĩtie kwamũkĩra kiugo kĩa Ngai.
2 and when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those of circumcision were contending with him,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio rĩrĩa Petero aambatire agĩthiĩ Jerusalemu, andũ arĩa meetĩkĩtie a thiritũ ya arĩa maruaga makĩmũrũithia
3 saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them!”
makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwatoonyire nyũmba ya andũ arĩa mataruaga, na ũkĩrĩĩanĩra nao.”
4 And Peter having begun, set [it] forth to them in order, saying,
Nowe Petero akĩambĩrĩria kũmataarĩria maũndũ mothe wega o ta ũrĩa meekĩkĩte, akĩmeera atĩrĩ:
5 “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw in a trance a vision, a certain vessel coming down, as a great sheet by four corners being let down out of Heaven, and it came to me;
“Ndaarĩ itũũra-inĩ rĩa Jopa ngĩhooya Ngai, na rĩrĩa ndaagoocereire-rĩ, ngĩona kĩoneki. Ngĩona kĩndũ gĩatariĩ ta gĩtama kĩnene gĩkĩharũrũkio kuuma igũrũ na mĩthia yakĩo ĩna, na gĩgĩikũrũka o harĩa ndaarĩ.
6 at which having looked steadfastly, I was considering, and I saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the birds of the sky;
Ndaacũthĩrĩria thĩinĩ wakĩo ngĩona nyamũ cia thĩ iria irĩ magũrũ mana, na nyamũ cia gĩthaka, na nyamũ iria itambaga thĩ na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ.
7 and I heard a voice saying to me, Having risen, Peter, slay and eat;
Ngĩcooka ngĩigua mũgambo ũkĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Petero, ũkĩra. Thĩnja, na ũrĩe!’
8 and I said, Not so, Lord, because anything common or unclean has at no time entered into my mouth;
“Na niĩ ngĩcookia atĩrĩ, ‘Aca, Mwathani! Gũtirĩ kĩndũ gĩtarĩ kĩamũre kana kĩrĩ thaahu kĩrĩ gĩatoonya kanua gakwa.’
9 and a voice answered me a second time out of Heaven, What God cleansed, you do not declare common.
“Naguo mũgambo ũcio ũkĩaria riita rĩa keerĩ kuuma igũrũ ũkĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Ndũkanoige kĩndũ o na kĩrĩkũ kĩrĩa Ngai atheretie atĩ ti kĩamũre.’
10 And this happened three times, and again was all drawn up to Heaven,
Ũndũ ũyũ wekĩkire maita matatũ, nakĩo gĩtama kĩu gĩkĩguucio na igũrũ.
11 and behold, immediately, three men stood at the house in which I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me,
“O hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ atatũ arĩa maatũmĩtwo kũrĩ niĩ kuuma Kaisarea magĩkinya nyũmba-inĩ ĩrĩa ndaikaraga.
12 and the Spirit said to me to go with them, doubting nothing, and these six brothers also went with me, and we entered into the house of the man,
Nake Roho akĩnjĩĩra thiĩ nao na ndikagĩe na ngaanja. Nao ariũ a Ithe witũ aya atandatũ tũgĩthiĩ nao na tũgĩtoonya nyũmba ya mũndũ ũcio.
13 he also declared to us how he saw the messenger standing in his house, and saying to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, who is surnamed Peter,
Nake agĩtwĩra ũrĩa oimĩrĩirwo nĩ mũraika arĩ gwake nyũmba, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Tũmana Jopa wĩtĩrwo Simoni ũrĩa wĩtagwo Petero.
14 who will speak sayings by which you will be saved, you and all your house.
Nĩegũkũrehera ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩa ĩgũtũma wee na nyũmba yaku yothe mũhonoke.’
15 And in my beginning to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as also on us in the beginning,
“Na rĩrĩa ndaambĩrĩirie kwaria-rĩ, Roho Mũtheru akĩmaikũrũkĩra o ta ũrĩa aatũikũrũkĩire hĩndĩ ya mbere.
16 and I remembered the saying of the LORD, how He said, John indeed immersed in water, but you will be immersed in the Holy Spirit;
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ngĩririkana ũrĩa Mwathani oigĩte atĩrĩ, ‘Johana aabatithanagia na maaĩ, no inyuĩ mũkaabatithio na Roho Mũtheru.’
17 if then God gave to them the equal gift as also to us, having believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, I—how was I able to withstand God?”
Angĩkorwo Ngai nĩamaheire kĩheo o kĩrĩa aatũheire ithuĩ andũ arĩa twetĩkirie Mwathani Jesũ Kristũ-rĩ, niĩ ndaarĩ ũũ nĩguo ndĩciirie atĩ no ngararie Ngai?”
18 And they, having heard these things, were silent, and were glorifying God, saying, “Then, indeed, God also gave conversion to life to the nations.”
Rĩrĩa maaiguire ũguo, magĩtiga ngarari na makĩgooca Ngai, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Gwakorwo nĩ ũguo-rĩ, Ngai nĩakinyĩirie andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ o nao ũhoro wa kwĩrira nĩguo magĩe na muoyo.”
19 Those, indeed, therefore, having been scattered abroad, from the tribulation that came after Stephen, went through to Phoenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none except to Jews only;
Na rĩrĩ, andũ arĩa maahurunjũkire nĩ ũndũ wa kũnyariirwo thuutha wa kũũragwo gwa Stefano magĩthiĩ o nginya Foinike, na Kuporo, na Antiokia, no matiahunjagĩria andũ angĩ ũhoro tiga o Ayahudi oiki.
20 and there were certain of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who having entered into Antioch, were speaking to the Hellenists, proclaiming good news—the Lord Jesus,
O na kũrĩ o ũguo, andũ amwe ao, arĩa moimĩte Kuporo, na Kurene, magĩthiĩ Antiokia na makĩambĩrĩria kwarĩria Ayunani o nao, makĩmahunjĩria ũhoro mwega ũkoniĩ Mwathani Jesũ.
21 and the hand of the LORD was with them, a great number also, having believed, turned to the LORD.
Guoko kwa Mwathani kwarĩ hamwe nao; na andũ aingĩ magĩĩtĩkia makĩgarũrũkĩra Mwathani.
22 And the account was heard in the ears of the assembly that [is] in Jerusalem concerning them, and they sent forth Barnabas to go through to Antioch,
Nayo ngumo ya maũndũ macio igĩkinyĩra andũ a kanitha ũrĩa warĩ kũu Jerusalemu; nao magĩtũma Baranaba athiĩ Antiokia.
23 who, having come, and having seen the grace of God, was glad, and was exhorting all with purpose of heart to cleave to the LORD,
Rĩrĩa aakinyire na akĩona ũira wa wega wa Ngai, agĩkena na akĩmomĩrĩria marĩ othe, atĩ maikarage maathĩkĩire Mwathani na ngoro ciao ciothe.
24 because he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith, and a great multitude was added to the LORD.
Baranaba aarĩ mũndũ mwega waiyũrĩtwo nĩ Roho Mũtheru na warĩ na wĩtĩkio, nao andũ aingĩ magĩĩtĩkia Mwathani.
25 And Barnabas went forth to Tarsus, to seek for Saul,
Nake Baranaba agĩthiĩ Tariso gũcaria Saũlũ,
26 and having found him, he brought him to Antioch, and it came to pass that they assembled together a whole year in the assembly, and taught a great multitude, and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
na rĩrĩa aamuonire akĩmũrehe Antiokia. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio kwa ihinda rĩa mwaka ũmwe Baranaba na Saũlũ makĩgomana na kanitha na makĩruta andũ aingĩ. Kũu Antiokia nĩkuo arutwo meetirwo Akristiano riita rĩa mbere.
27 And in those days there came from Jerusalem prophets to Antioch,
Ihinda-inĩ rĩu anabii amwe magĩikũrũka kuuma Jerusalemu nginya Antiokia.
28 and one of them, by name Agabus, having stood up, signified through the Spirit a great scarcity is about to be throughout all the world—which also came to pass in the time of Claudius Caesar—
Ũmwe wao wetagwo Agabo akĩrũgama, na nĩ ũndũ wa kũmenyithio nĩ Roho Mũtheru, akĩratha atĩ nĩ gũkũgĩa ngʼaragu nene Roma guothe. (Ũndũ ũcio wekĩkire hĩndĩ ya wathani wa Kilaudio.)
29 and the disciples, according as anyone was prospering, determined each of them to send for ministry to the brothers dwelling in Judea,
Nao arutwo, magĩĩciiria kũheana ũteithio nĩ ũndũ wa ariũ a Ithe witũ arĩa maatũũraga kũu Judea, o ta ũrĩa mũndũ aahotithĩtio.
30 which also they did, having sent to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
Nĩmekire ũndũ ũcio, makĩnengera Baranaba na Saũlũ iheo ciao matwarĩre athuuri a kanitha.
