Acts 15
1 Some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, "Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you cannot 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 Therefore when Paul and Barnabas had no small discord and discussion with them, they appointed Paul and Barnabas, and some others of them, to go up to Jerusalem to the emissaries and elders 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, being sent on their way by the congregation, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, describing in detail the conversion of the non-Jewish people. They caused 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 When they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the congregation and the emissaries and the elders, and they reported all things that God had done 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 But some of the sect of the Pharisees who believed rose up, saying, "It is necessary to circumcise them, and to command them 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 The emissaries and the elders were gathered together to see about this matter.
Mgbe ahụ, ndị ozi na ndị okenye zukọtara itule okwu a.
7 When there had been much discussion, Peter rose up and said to them, "Brothers, you know that a good while ago God made a choice among you, that by my mouth the nations should hear the word of the Good News, and 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 God, who knows the heart, testified about them by giving the Ruach ha-Kodesh, just like he did 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 He made no distinction between us and them, cleansing 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, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the talmidim 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 we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Yeshua, just as they are."
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 people kept quiet, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul reporting what signs and wonders God had done 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 After they were silent, Jacob answered, "Brothers, listen to me.
Mgbe ha kwusiri okwu ndị a, Jemis sịrị, “Ụmụnna m geenụ ntị.
14 Shim'on has reported how God first visited the nations, to take out of them a people 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 This agrees with the words of the prophets. As it is written,
Nke a na okwu ndị amụma dakọtara, dịka e dere ya,
16 'After these things I will return; and I will rebuild the tabernacle of David that has fallen, and I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it,
“‘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 rest of humanity may seek after the Lord, and all the nations who are called by my name, says the Lord, who makes 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.’
19 "Therefore my judgment is that we do not trouble those from among the non-Jewish people who turn to God,
“Nʼihi nke a, mkpebi ikpe m bụ nke a, ka anyị ghara isogbu ndị mba ọzọ lọghachikwutere Chineke,
20 but that we write to them that they abstain from things defiled by idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from 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 from generations of old has in every city those who proclaim him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath."
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 emissaries and the elders, with the whole congregation, to choose men out of their company, and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judah called Barsabbas, and Silas, chief 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 They wrote these things by their hand: "The emissaries, the elders, and the brothers, to the non-Jewish brothers who are in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia: greetings.
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 Because we have heard that some who went out from us have troubled you with words, unsettling your souls, to whom we gave no commandment;
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 to one accord, to choose out men and send them to you 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 who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
ndị ikom werela ndụ ha tụnye nʼaha Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst.
27 We have sent therefore Judah and Silas, who themselves will also tell you the same things by word of mouth.
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 Ruach ha-Kodesh, and to us, to lay no greater burden on you than 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 that you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, from blood, from things strangled, and from sexual immorality, from which if you keep yourselves, it will be well with you. Farewell."
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 So, when they were sent off, they came to Antioch, and having gathered the congregation together, they delivered the letter.
Ya mere, e zipụrụ ha, ha jeruokwa Antiọk. Mgbe ha kpọkọrọ nzukọ ahụ, ha nyere ha akwụkwọ ozi ahụ.
31 When they had read it, they rejoiced over the encouragement.
Mgbe ndị otu ọgbakọ ahụ gụsịrị ya, ha ṅụrịrị ọṅụ nke ukwuu nʼihi agbamume ha natara.
32 Judah and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers with many words, and strengthened them.
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 After they had spent some time there, they were sent back with greetings from the brothers to those that had sent them forth.
Mgbe ha nọnyesịrị ha nwa oge nta, ndị kwere ekwe ji ngọzị nke udo zilaga ha ka ha laghachikwuru ndị zitere ha.
34 However, Silas decided to remain there.
Ma ọ masịrị Saịlas ịnọtukwu nʼebe ahụ.
35 And Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming the word of the Lord, with many others also.
Pọl na Banabas nọgidere nʼAntiọk, ebe ha na ndị ọzọ kuziri ihe ma kwusakwa okwu Onyenwe anyị.
36 After some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let us return now and visit our brothers in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, to see how they are doing."
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 Barnabas planned to take John, who was called Mark, with them also.
Banabas chọrọ ka ha na Jọn onye a na-akpọ Mak soro gaa.
38 But Paul did not think that it was a good idea to take with them someone who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia, and did not go with them to do 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 Then the contention grew so sharp that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him, and sailed away to Cyprus,
Ịrụ ụka dapụtara nʼetiti ha siri ike nke mere na ha kewara. Banabas kpọrọ Jọn Mak banye nʼụgbọ gawa Saiprọs.
40 but Paul chose Silas, and went out, being commended by the brothers to the grace of the Lord.
Ma Pọl họọrọ Saịlas, kpọrọ ya gawa njem, mgbe ụmụnna kpesịrị ha ekpere raara ha nye nʼamara Onyenwe anyị.
41 He went through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the congregations.
O jegharịrị nʼime obodo Siria na Silisia na-agba nzukọ nọ nʼebe ahụ ume.
