< Acts 15 >

1 But some men came down from Judea and attempted to teach the brethren, saying, "Unless you are circumcised according to Moses’ custom, you cannot be saved."
Àwọn ọkùnrin kan tí Judea sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá, wọ́n sì kọ́ àwọn arákùnrin pé, “Bí kò ṣe pé a bá kọ yín ni ilà bí ìṣe Mose, ẹ̀yin kí yóò lè là.”
2 Now when dispute and controversy sprang up between them and Paul and Barnabas, the brethren appointed Paul and Barnabas, and certain others, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question.
Nígbà tí Paulu àti Barnaba ni ìyapa àti ìyàn jíjà tí kò mọ níwọ̀n pẹ̀lú ara wọn, wọ́n yan Paulu àti Barnaba àti àwọn mìíràn nínú aposteli kí wọn gòkè lọ sí Jerusalẹmu, sọ́dọ̀ àwọn alàgbà nítorí ọ̀ràn yìí.
3 So the church saw them off on their journey, and they passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria. Here they set forth the conversion of the Gentiles, and brought great joy to all the brothers.
Nítorí náà, bí ìjọ ti rán wọn jáde lọ sí ọ̀nà wọn, wọn la Fonisia àti Samaria kọjá, wọ́n ń ròyìn ìyípadà àwọn aláìkọlà, wọ́n sì fi ayọ̀ ńlá fún gbogbo àwọn arákùnrin.
4 Upon their arrival in Jerusalem they were received by the church and the apostles and elders, and they told them all things that God had done with them.
Nígbà tí wọn sì dé Jerusalẹmu, ìjọ àti àwọn aposteli àti àwọn alàgbà tẹ́wọ́gbà wọ́n, wọ́n sì ròyìn ohun gbogbo tí Ọlọ́run ti ṣe nípasẹ̀ wọn.
5 But certain men who had belonged to the sect of the Pharisees, but were now believers, stood up and said, "It is necessary to circumcise Gentile, and to order them to keep the Law of Moses."
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn kan nínú ẹ̀yà àwọn Farisi tí wọ́n gbàgbọ́ dìde, wọ́n ń wí pé, “A ní láti kọ wọ́n ní ilà, àti láti pàṣẹ fún wọn pé kí wọn máa pa òfin Mose mọ́.”
6 The apostles and elders met to consider the matter;
Àwọn aposteli àti àwọn alàgbà péjọ láti rí si ọ̀ràn yìí.
7 and after there had been a long discussion, Peter rose and said. "Brothers, you know how a good while ago God made choice among you, that from my lips the Gentiles were to hear the message of the gospel and believe.
Nígbà tí iyàn sì di púpọ̀, Peteru dìde, ó sì wí fún wọn pé, “Ará, ẹ̀yin mọ̀ pé, láti ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ ni Ọlọ́run ti yàn nínú yín pé, kí àwọn aláìkọlà lè gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ ìyìnrere láti ẹnu mi, kí wọn sì gbàgbọ́.
8 "And God, who knows the hearts of all, gave this testimony in their behalf, by bestowing upon them the Holy Spirit just as he did upon us;
Ọlọ́run, tí ó jẹ́ olùmọ̀-ọkàn, sì jẹ́ wọn lẹ́rìí, ó fún wọn ni Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwa.
9 "and he made no distinction between us and them, in cleansing their hearts by faith.
Kò sí fi ìyàtọ̀ sí àárín àwa àti àwọn, ó ń fi ìgbàgbọ́ wẹ̀ wọ́n lọ́kàn mọ́.
10 "Now then, why are you tempting God by laying on the necks of these disciples a yoke which neither our forefathers nor we have been able to bear?
Ǹjẹ́ nítorí náà èéṣe tí ẹ̀yin o fi dán Ọlọ́run wò, láti fi àjàgà bọ àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn lọ́rùn, èyí tí àwọn baba wa àti àwa kò lè rù?
11 "On the contrary we believe that it is by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ that we and they shall be saved."
Ṣùgbọ́n àwa gbàgbọ́ pé nípa oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Olúwa Jesu àwa ó là, gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn.”
12 Then the whole assembly remained silent, and listened to Barnabas and Saul as they told the signs and wonders which God had wrought among the Gentiles through them.
Gbogbo àjọ sí dákẹ́, wọ́n sì fi etí sí Barnaba àti Paulu, tí wọn ń ròyìn iṣẹ́ ìyanu àti iṣẹ́ àmì tí Ọlọ́run tí ti ọwọ́ wọn ṣe láàrín àwọn aláìkọlà.
13 When they had finished speaking, James said.
Lẹ́yìn tí wọn sì dákẹ́, Jakọbu dáhùn, wí pé, “Ará, ẹ gbọ́ tèmi,
14 "Brothers, listen to me. Symeon has told how God first looked graciously upon the Gentiles, to take out from among them a people to be called by his name.
Simeoni ti ròyìn bí Ọlọ́run ti kọ́kọ́ bojú wo àwọn aláìkọlà, láti yàn ènìyàn nínú wọn fún orúkọ rẹ̀.
15 "And this is in harmony with the language of the prophets, which says.
Báyìí ni ọ̀rọ̀ àwọn wòlíì bá ṣe déédé; bí a ti kọ̀wé rẹ̀ pé:
16 "After these things I will return, And I will rebuild David’s fallen tent; And I will build again its ruins, And I will set it up;
“‘Lẹ́yìn nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni èmi ó padà, èmi ó sì tún àgọ́ Dafidi pa tí ó ti wó lulẹ̀: èmi ó sì tún ahoro rẹ̀ kọ́, èmi ó sì gbé e ró.
17 "So that the rest of men may seek after the Lord, Even all the Gentiles, who are called by my name,
Kí àwọn ènìyàn ìyókù lè máa wá Olúwa, àti gbogbo àwọn kèfèrí, lára ẹni tí a ń pe orúkọ mi,’ ni Olúwa wí, ta ni ó ń ṣe nǹkan wọ̀nyí,
18 "Says the Lord, who has been making this known from the beginning of the world. (aiōn g165)
ẹni tí ó sọ gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí di mímọ́ láti ọjọ́ pípẹ́ wá. (aiōn g165)
19 "My judgment therefore, is against troubling those who turn to God from among the Gentiles;
“Ǹjẹ́ ìmọ̀ràn tèmi ni pé, kí a máa ṣe yọ àwọn ti aláìkọlà ti ó yípadà sí Ọlọ́run lẹ́nu.
20 "but that we should write to them to abstain from the pollution of idols and from fornication, from meat killed by strangling, and from blood.
Ṣùgbọ́n kí a kọ̀wé si wọn, kí wọ́n fàsẹ́yìn kúrò nínú oúnjẹ tí a ṣe fún òrìṣà, àti kúrò nínú àgbèrè, àti nínú ẹ̀jẹ̀.
21 "For Moses from the earliest times has had his preachers in every town where he is read aloud, Sabbath after Sabbath, in the synagogues."
Nítorí òfin Mose nígbà àtijọ́ ṣá ní a ti ń wàásù rẹ̀, ni ìlú gbogbo, a máa ń kà á nínú Sinagọgu ni ọjọọjọ́ ìsinmi.”
22 Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, together with the whole church, to select some of their number, and to send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. The men chosen were Judas called Bar- Sabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren.
Nígbà nà án ni ó tọ́ lójú àwọn aposteli, àti àwọn alàgbà pẹ̀lú gbogbo ìjọ, láti yan ènìyàn nínú wọn, àti láti rán wọ́n lọ sí Antioku pẹ̀lú Paulu àti Barnaba: Judasi ti a ń pè àpèlé rẹ̀ ní Barsaba, àti Sila, ẹni tí ó lórúkọ nínú àwọn arákùnrin.
23 They took with them the following letter. "The apostles and older brothers send greeting to the Gentile Brotherhood throughout Antioch and Syria and Cilicia;
Wọn sì kọ ìwé lé wọn lọ́wọ́ báyìí pé, Àwọn aposteli, àti àwọn alàgbà, tí ó jẹ́ ti aláìkọlà tí ó wà ní Antioku, àti ní Siria, àti ní Kilikia.
24 "as we have heard that some of your number who went out from us have troubled you with words and upset your souls, without having received any such instruction from us;
Níwọ́n bí àwa ti gbọ́ pé, àwọn kan ti ó ti ọ̀dọ̀ wa jáde wá ń fi ọ̀rọ̀ yọ yín lẹ́nu, tí wọ́n ń yí yín ní ọkàn padà (wí pé, ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ ṣàìmá kọ ilà, àti ṣàìmá pa òfin Mose mọ́), ẹni tí àwa kò fún ní àṣẹ.
25 "we have unanimously decided to select certain men, and to send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul;
Ó yẹ lójú àwa, bí wa ti fi ìmọ̀ ṣọ̀kan láti yan ènìyàn láti rán wọn sí yín, pẹ̀lú Barnaba àti Paulu àwọn olùfẹ́ wa.
26 "men who have risked their very lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Àwọn ọkùnrin ti ó fi ọkàn wọn wéwu nítorí orúkọ Olúwa wa Jesu Kristi.
27 "So we have sent Judas and Silas to tell you the same things by word of mouth.
Nítorí náà àwa rán Judasi àti Sila àwọn tí yóò sì fi ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu sọ ohun kan náà fún yín.
28 "For it has seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
Nítorí ó dára lójú Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́, àti lójú wa, kí a má ṣe di ẹrù le é yin lórí, bí kò ṣe àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí tí ó ṣe pàtàkì;
29 "that you abstain from food that has been sacrificed to idols, and from tasting blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication. Keep yourselves clear from these things and it will be well with you. Farewell."
í ẹ̀yin fàsẹ́yìn kúrò nínú ẹran ti à pa bọ òrìṣà, àti nínú ẹ̀jẹ̀ àti nínú ohun ìlọ́lọ́rùnpa, àti nínú àgbèrè. Bí ẹ̀yin bá pa ara yín mọ́ kúrò, ẹ̀yin ó ṣe rere. Àlàáfíà.
30 So they, when they had been despatched, went down to Antioch, and after gathering the whole multitude together, they handed them the letter,
Ǹjẹ́ nígbà tí wọ́n sì fi wọ́n sílẹ̀ láti lọ, wọ́n sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá si Antioku. Nígbà tí wọn sì pé àwọn ìjọ papọ̀, wọn fi ìwé náà fún wọn.
31 and when they had read it they rejoiced at the comfort it brought.
Nígbà tí wọn sì kà á, wọ́n yọ̀ fún ìtùnú náà.
32 And Judas and Silas, who were themselves prophets, encouraged and strengthened the brothers with many a good counsel.
Bí Judasi àti Sila tìkára wọn ti jẹ́ wòlíì pẹ̀lú, wọ́n fi ọ̀rọ̀ púpọ̀ gba àwọn arákùnrin níyànjú, wọ́n sì mú wọn lọ́kàn le.
33 After spending some time there the brothers let them go with a greeting of peace to those who had sent them.
Nígbà tí wọn sì pẹ́, díẹ̀, àwọn arákùnrin rán wọn padà lọ ni àlàáfíà sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn tí ó rán wọn wá.
34 Silas, however, stayed with them.
35 Paul and Barnabas also stayed in Antioch teaching and proclaiming the word of the Lord, in company with others.
Paulu àti Barnaba sì dúró díẹ̀ ni Antioku, wọ́n ń kọ́ni, wọ́n sì ń wàásù ọ̀rọ̀, Olúwa, àti àwọn púpọ̀ mìíràn pẹ̀lú wọn.
36 And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let is go back and visit the brothers in every city in which we have proclaimed the word of the Lord. Let us see how they fare."
Lẹ́yìn ọjọ́ mélòó kan, Paulu sì sọ fún Barnaba pé, “Jẹ́ kí a tún padà lọ bẹ àwọn arákùnrin wa wò, bí wọn ti ń ṣe sí ni ìlú gbogbo tí àwa ti wàásù ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa.”
37 Now Barnabas wanted to take with them John, who was called Mark.
Barnaba sì pinnu rẹ̀ láti mú Johanu lọ pẹ̀lú wọn, ẹni tí àpèlé rẹ̀ ń jẹ́ Marku.
38 But Paul thought it unwise to take with them one who had deserted them to the Pamphylia, and had not gone on with them to the work.
Ṣùgbọ́n Paulu rò pé, kò yẹ láti mú un lọ pẹ̀lú wọn, ẹni tí ó fi wọn sílẹ̀ ni Pamfilia, tí kò sì bá wọn lọ sí iṣẹ́ náà.
39 So there arose a sharp irritation, so that they parted company; Barnabas taking Mark with him, sailed away to Cyprus;
Ìjà náà sì pọ̀ tó bẹ́ẹ̀, tí wọn ya ara wọn sì méjì, Barnaba sì mu Marku ó tẹ ọkọ́ létí lọ sí Saipurọsi.
40 while Paul chose Silas, and set forth commended by the brothers to the grace of God.
Ṣùgbọ́n Paulu yan Sila, ó sì lọ, bí a ti fi lé oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Olúwa lọ́wọ́ láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn arákùnrin.
41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the churches.
Ó sì la Siria àti Kilikia lọ, ó ń mú ìjọ ní ọkàn le.
