Acts 15
1 And certain having come down from Judea, were teaching the brothers, “If you are not circumcised after the custom of Moses, you are not able to be saved”;
Ụfọdụ ndị ikom sitere Judịa bịa malitere izi ụmụnna ozi, “Ọ bụrụ na e bighị unu ugwu dịka Mosis nyere nʼiwu, a pụghị ịzọpụta unu.”
2 there having been, therefore, not a little dissension and debate to Paul and Barnabas with them, they arranged for Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, to go up to the apostles and elders to Jerusalem about this question;
Ha na Pọl na Banabas rụrịtara ụka nke ukwuu. Nʼihi nke a, ha kpebiri ka Pọl na Banabas, na ụfọdụ ndịisi ndị ọzọ soro gaa Jerusalem hụ ndị ozi na ndị okenye nke nzukọ maka okwu a.
3 they indeed, then, having been sent forward by the assembly, were passing through Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the nations, and they were causing great joy to all the brothers.
Nzukọ ahụ zipụrụ ha nʼụzọ ha, mgbe ha sitere Fonisia na Sameria na-agafe, ha kọrọ otu ndị mba ọzọ siri chegharịa. Nke a wetara ndị niile kwere ekwe oke ọṅụ dị ukwuu.
4 And having come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly, and the apostles, and the elders; they also declared as many things as God did with them;
Mgbe ha bịaruru Jerusalem, nzukọ, ndị ozi na ndị okenye nabatara ha, ha kọkwara ha ihe niile Chineke sitere nʼaka ha mee.
5 and there rose up certain of those of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying, “It is required to circumcise them, to command them also to keep the Law of Moses.”
Ma ụfọdụ ndị kwere ekwe si nʼotu ndị Farisii biliri na-ekwu sị, “Na ọ dị mkpa ka e bie ha ugwu ma gwakwa ha ka ha dobe iwu Mosis.”
6 And there were gathered together the apostles and the elders, to see about this matter,
Mgbe ahụ, ndị ozi na ndị okenye zukọtara itule okwu a.
7 and there having been much disputing, Peter having risen up said to them, “Men, brothers, you know that from former days God made choice among us, through my mouth, for the nations to hear the word of the good news, and to believe;
Mgbe ha nọ tulegide okwu ahụ ruo oge dị anya, Pita guzoro ọtọ sị ha, “Ụmụnna m, unu niile maara na site na mbụ Chineke họpụtara m site nʼetiti unu, ka m zisaa oziọma ahụ nye ndị mba ọzọ ka ha nụrụ, ma kwerekwa.
8 and the heart-knowing God bore them testimony, having given to them the Holy Spirit, even as also to us,
Chineke a, onye maara obi mmadụ niile gbaara ha akaebe site nʼinye ha onyinye Mmụọ Nsọ dịka anyị si nata ya na mbụ.
9 and also put no difference between us and them, having purified their hearts by faith;
O gosighị na o nwere ihe dị iche nʼetiti anyị na ha. Nʼihi na o mere ka obi ha dị ọcha site nʼokwukwe.
10 now, therefore, why do you tempt God, to put a yoke on the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
Ugbu a, gịnị mere unu ji anwa Chineke ọnwụnwa site na-itinye nʼolu ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ibu arọ nke anyị maọbụ nna nna anyị ha na-enweghị ike ịdọkpụ?
11 But through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, even as also they.”
Mba, anyị kwenyere na ọ bụ site nʼamara nke Onyenwe anyị Jisọs ka a ga-eji zọpụta anyị, dịka a ga-esi zọpụtakwa ha.”
12 And all the multitude kept silence and were listening to Barnabas and Paul expounding as many signs and wonders as God did among the nations through them;
Mmadụ niile nọdụrụ nwayọọ, ha bidoro ige ntị nʼakụkọ Banabas na Pọl na-akọrọ ha banyere ihe ịrịbama niile na ọrụ ebube niile Chineke jiri ha rụọ nʼetiti ndị mba ọzọ.
13 and after they were silent, James answered, saying, “Men, brothers, listen to me:
Mgbe ha kwusiri okwu ndị a, Jemis sịrị, “Ụmụnna m geenụ ntị.
14 Simeon expounded how at first God looked on [us] to take a people out of [the] nations for His Name,
Saimọn akọọlara anyị otu Chineke si buru ụzọ lekọta ndị mba ọzọ site na isite nʼetiti ha họpụtara onwe ya ndị ga-ekwere na aha ya.
15 and to this the words of the Prophets agree, as it has been written:
Nke a na okwu ndị amụma dakọtara, dịka e dere ya,
16 After these things I will return, And I will rebuild the dwelling place of David that has fallen down, And I will rebuild its ruins, And will set it upright—
“‘Mgbe nke a gasịrị, aga m alọghachi, aga m ewughachikwa ụlọ ikwu Devid nke dara ada. Ebe ya niile dakpọsịrị adakpọsị ka m ga-ewugharịkwa, aga m emekwa ka ọ guzozie,
17 That the remnant of men may seek after the LORD, And all the nations on whom My Name has been called, Says the LORD, who is doing all these things.
ka ndị fọdụrụ nʼetiti mmadụ nwe ike chọọ Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụladị ndị mba ọzọ niile ndị a kpọkwasịrị aha m, ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, onye na-emekwa ihe ndị a.’
Nke a amaara site na mgbe ochie. (aiōn g165)
19 For this reason I judge: not to trouble those who turn back to God from the nations,
“Nʼihi nke a, mkpebi ikpe m bụ nke a, ka anyị ghara isogbu ndị mba ọzọ lọghachikwutere Chineke,
20 but to write to them to abstain from the defilements of the idols, and the whoredom, and the strangled thing, and the blood;
kama o kwesiri ka anyị degara ha akwụkwọ gwa ha sị ha hapụ iri nri ọbụla e ji chụọrọ arụsị aja. Ka ha wezugakwa onwe ha site na mmehie ịkwa iko, ya na iri anụ a nyagburu anyagbu, maọbụ ọbara.
21 for Moses has those preaching him from former generations in every city—being read every Sabbath in the synagogues.”
Site na mbụ, Mosis nwere ndị na-ekwusa iwu nʼobodo niile. A na-agụkwa ya nʼụlọ nzukọ nʼụbọchị izuike niile.”
22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas chosen men out of themselves—Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brothers—
Mgbe ahụ, ndị ozi na ndị okenye, ha na nzukọ niile, kpebiri ka a họpụta ndị ikom a ga-eziga Antiọk ha na Pọl na Banabas. Ha họpụtara Judas onye a na-akpọkwa Basabas, na Saịlas, ndị ndu so nʼetiti ụmụnna.
23 having written through their hand thus: “The apostles, and the elders, and the brothers, to those in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia, brothers, who [are] of the nations, greeting;
Ha nyekwara ha nʼakwụkwọ ozi dị otu a, Akwụkwọ a sitere nʼaka ndị ozi, na ndị okenye ndị bụ ụmụnna unu. A na-edetara ya unu ndị sitere na mba ọzọ kwere bụ ndị nọ nʼAntiọk, Siria na Silisia. Ekele.
24 seeing we have heard that some having gone forth from us troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying to be circumcised and to keep the Law, to whom we gave no charge,
E mere ka anyị mata na ụfọdụ ndị otu anyị ebuterela unu nsogbu na ọgbaaghara, mee ka obi lọọ unu mmiri, na-emebi mkpụrụobi unu. Ma nʼezie, ha anataghị ike nʼaka anyị ime nke a.
25 it seemed good to us, having come together with one accord, to send to you chosen men, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul—
Nʼihi nke a, anyị zukọrọ, sitekwa nʼotu obi kpebie ịhọpụta ụfọdụ ndị ikom na izitere unu ha, ha na ndị anyị hụrụ nʼanya, bụ Pọl na Banabas,
26 men who have given up their lives for the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ—
ndị ikom werela ndụ ha tụnye nʼaha Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst.
27 we have sent, therefore, Judas and Silas, and they are telling the same things by word.
Ya mere, anyị na-ezite Judas na Saịlas ndị ga-akọwara unu nʼihu nʼihu, ihe anyị dere nʼakwụkwọ a.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay no more burden on you, except these necessary things:
Nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Mmụọ Nsọ na nʼanya anyị kwa, na o kwesighị ka anyị bokwasị unu ibu arọ karịa ihe ndị a dị mkpa.
29 to abstain from things offered to idols, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom; keeping yourselves from which, you will do well; be strong!”
Ma o kwesiri ka unu hapụ iri ihe ọbụla e jiri chụọ aja nye arụsị, ya na iri anụ ọbụla a nyagburu anyagbu, maọbụ ọbara. Kewapụkwanụ onwe unu site nʼịkwa iko. Ọ bụrụ na unu eme ihe ndị a, unu mere nke ọma. Nọọnụ nke ọma.
30 They then, indeed, having been let go, went to Antioch, and having brought the multitude together, delivered the letter,
Ya mere, e zipụrụ ha, ha jeruokwa Antiọk. Mgbe ha kpọkọrọ nzukọ ahụ, ha nyere ha akwụkwọ ozi ahụ.
31 and having read [it] they rejoiced for the consolation;
Mgbe ndị otu ọgbakọ ahụ gụsịrị ya, ha ṅụrịrị ọṅụ nke ukwuu nʼihi agbamume ha natara.
32 Judas also and Silas, also being prophets themselves, through much discourse exhorted the brothers, and confirmed,
Judas na Saịlas, ndị ha onwe ha bụ ndị amụma, kwuru ọtụtụ okwu, iji gbaa ha ume na ime ka okwukwe ndị kwere ekwe guzosie ike.
33 and having passed some time, they were let go with peace from the brothers to the apostles;
Mgbe ha nọnyesịrị ha nwa oge nta, ndị kwere ekwe ji ngọzị nke udo zilaga ha ka ha laghachikwuru ndị zitere ha.
34 [[and it seemed good to Silas to remain there still.]]
Ma ọ masịrị Saịlas ịnọtukwu nʼebe ahụ.
35 And Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming good news—with many others also—the word of the LORD;
Pọl na Banabas nọgidere nʼAntiọk, ebe ha na ndị ọzọ kuziri ihe ma kwusakwa okwu Onyenwe anyị.
36 and after certain days, Paul said to Barnabas, “Having turned back again, we may look after our brothers, in every city in which we have preached the word of the LORD—how they are.”
Mgbe ụbọchị ole na ole gasịrị, Pọl gwara Banabas, “Ka anyị gaghachi nʼobodo niile anyị kwusara okwu Onyenwe anyị nʼotu nʼotu, mata ka ndị kwere ekwe si agbalị nʼebe ahụ.”
37 And Barnabas resolved to take with [them] John called Mark,
Banabas chọrọ ka ha na Jọn onye a na-akpọ Mak soro gaa.
38 and Paul was not thinking it good to take him with them who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and did not go with them to the work;
Ma Pọl echeghị na o ziri ezi iduru ya nʼihi na ọ hapụrụ ha na Pamfilia. O sokwaghị ha jezuo ozi ha.
39 there came, therefore, a sharp contention, so that they were parted from one another, and Barnabas having taken Mark, sailed to Cyprus,
Ịrụ ụka dapụtara nʼetiti ha siri ike nke mere na ha kewara. Banabas kpọrọ Jọn Mak banye nʼụgbọ gawa Saiprọs.
40 and Paul having chosen Silas, went forth, having been given up to the grace of God by the brothers;
Ma Pọl họọrọ Saịlas, kpọrọ ya gawa njem, mgbe ụmụnna kpesịrị ha ekpere raara ha nye nʼamara Onyenwe anyị.
41 and he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the assemblies.
O jegharịrị nʼime obodo Siria na Silisia na-agba nzukọ nọ nʼebe ahụ ume.
