Acts 9
1 But Saul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the talmidim of the Lord, went to the cohen hagadol,
Ṣùgbọ́n síbẹ̀, Saulu sí ń tẹ̀síwájú nínú mímí èémí ìhalẹ̀ mọ́ni àti ìpani sí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn Olúwa. Ó tọ olórí àlùfáà lọ,
2 and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
ó béèrè ìwé lọ́wọ́ rẹ̀ sí Sinagọgu tí ń bẹ ní ìlú Damasku pé, bí òun bá rí ẹnikẹ́ni tí ń bẹ ni ọ̀nà yìí, ìbá à ṣe ọkùnrin, tàbí obìnrin, kí òun lè mú wọn ní dídè wá sí Jerusalẹmu.
3 As he traveled, it happened that he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.
Ó sì ṣe, bí ó ti ń lọ, ó sì súnmọ́ Damasku; lójijì, ìmọ́lẹ̀ láti ọ̀run wá mọ́lẹ̀ yí i ká.
4 And he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"
Ó sì ṣubú lulẹ̀, ó gbọ́ ohùn tí ó ń fọ̀ sí i pé, “Saulu, Saulu, èéṣe ti ìwọ fi ń ṣe inúnibíni sí mi?”
5 And he said, "Who are you, Lord?" And he said, "I am Yeshua, whom you are persecuting.
Ó sì wí pé, “Ìwọ ta ni, Olúwa?” Olúwa sì wí fún pé, “Èmi ni Jesu, ẹni ti ìwọ ń ṣe inúnibíni sí.
6 But rise up, and enter into the city, and you will be told what you must do."
Dìde, kí o sì lọ sí ìlú náà, a ó sì sọ fún ọ nípa ohun tí ìwọ yóò ṣe.”
7 The men who traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the sound, but seeing no one.
Àwọn ọkùnrin tí wọ́n sì ń bá Saulu lọ àjò dúró, wọn kò sì le sọ ohun kan, wọn gbọ́ ohùn náà ṣùgbọ́n wọn kò rí ẹnìkan.
8 Saul arose from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could not see anything. They led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
Saulu sì dìde ní ilẹ̀; nígbà tí ojú rẹ̀ sì lá kò rí ohunkóhun; ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n fà á lọ́wọ́ wọ́n sì mú un wá sí Damasku.
9 He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
Ó sì gbé ọjọ́ mẹ́ta ni àìríran kò sì jẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sì mu.
10 Now there was a certain talmid at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, "Ananias." And he said, "Look, it's me, Lord."
Ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn kan sì wà ní Damasku, tí a ń pè ni Anania! Olúwa sì wí fún un lójúran pé, “Anania!” Ó sì wí pé, “Wò ó, èmi nìyí, Olúwa.”
11 The Lord said to him, "Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judah for one named Saul, a man of Tarsus. For look, he is praying,
Olúwa sì wí fún un pé, “Dìde kí ó sì lọ sí ilé Judasi ní òpópónà Tààrà, kí ó sì béèrè ẹni tí a ń pè ni Saulu, ara Tarsu, sá wò ó, ó ń gbàdúrà.
12 and in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight."
Òun sì tí ri ọkùnrin kan lójúran ti a ń pè ni Anania, ó wọlé, ó sì fi ọwọ́ lé e, kí ó lè ríran.”
13 But Ananias answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your kadoshim at Jerusalem.
Anania sì dáhùn wí pé, “Olúwa mo tí gbúròó ọkùnrin yìí lọ́dọ̀ ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn, gbogbo búburú ti ó ṣe sí àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ rẹ ni Jerusalẹmu.
14 Here he has authority from the chief cohanim to bind all who call on your name."
Ó sì gba àṣẹ láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn olórí àlùfáà wá sí ìhín yìí, láti de gbogbo àwọn ti ń pe orúkọ rẹ.”
15 But the Lord said to him, "Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the children of Israel.
Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa wí fún un pé, “Máa lọ; nítorí ohun èlò ààyò ni òun jẹ́ fún mi, láti gbé orúkọ mi lọ sí iwájú àwọn aláìkọlà, àti àwọn ọba, àti àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
16 For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name's sake."
Nítorí èmi o fi gbogbo ìyà ti kò le ṣàìjẹ nítorí orúkọ mi hàn án.”
17 Ananias departed, and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me, that you may receive your sight, and be filled with the Ruach ha-Kodesh."
Anania sì lọ, ó sì wọ ilé náà, nígbà tí ó fi ọwọ́ rẹ̀ lé Saulu, ó sì wí pé, “Arákùnrin Saulu, Olúwa ni ó rán mi, Jesu tí ó fi ara hàn ọ lọ́nà tí ìwọ bá wá, kí ìwọ ba à lè ríran, kí ó sì kún fún Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́.”
18 Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was immersed.
Lójúkan náà nǹkan kan ti ó dàbí ìpẹ́ sì bọ kúrò lójú rẹ̀, ó sì ríran; ó sì dìde, a sì bamitiisi rẹ̀.
19 He took food and was strengthened. He stayed several days with the talmidim who were at Damascus.
Nígbà tí ó sì jẹun, ara rẹ̀ mókun. Saulu sì wá pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn ní Damasku ní ọjọ́ púpọ̀.
20 Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed Yeshua, that he is the Son of God.
Lójúkan náà ó sì ń wàásù Kristi nínú àwọn Sinagọgu pé, Jesu ni Ọmọ Ọlọ́run.
21 All who heard him were amazed, and said, "Is not this he who in Jerusalem made havoc of those who called on this name? And he had come here intending to bring them bound before the chief cohanim."
Ẹnu sì yà gbogbo àwọn ti ó ń gbọ́, wọn sì wí pé, “Èyí ha kọ ẹni ti ó ti fóòro àwọn ti ń pe orúkọ yìí ni Jerusalẹmu? Nítorí èyí náà ni ó sa ṣe wá sí ìhín yìí, láti mú wọn ní dìde lọ sọ́dọ̀ àwọn olórí àlùfáà.”
22 But Saul increased more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived at Damascus, proving that this is the Messiah.
Ṣùgbọ́n Saulu ń pọ̀ sí i ní agbára ó sì ń dààmú àwọn Júù tí ó ń gbé Damasku, ó fihàn pé, èyí ni Kristi náà.
23 When many days were fulfilled, the Jews conspired together to kill him,
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ọjọ́ púpọ̀ kọjá, àwọn Júù ń gbìmọ̀ láti pa á.
24 but their plot became known to Saul. They watched the gates both day and night that they might kill him,
Ṣùgbọ́n ìdìtẹ̀ wọn di mí mọ̀ fún Saulu. Wọ́n sì ń ṣọ́ ẹnu ibodè pẹ̀lú lọ́sàn àti lóru, wọ́n ń wá ọ̀nà láti pa á.
25 but his talmidim took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ gbé ní òru, wọ́n sì sọ̀ ọ́ kalẹ̀ lára odi nínú agbọ̀n.
26 When Saul had come to Jerusalem, he tried to join himself to the talmidim; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a talmid.
Nígbà ti Saulu sì de Jerusalẹmu ó pète láti da ara rẹ̀ pọ̀ mọ́ àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn; gbogbo wọn sì bẹ̀rù rẹ̀, nítorí wọn kò gbàgbọ́ pé ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn kan ni.
27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the emissaries, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Yeshua.
Ṣùgbọ́n Barnaba mú un, ó sì sìn ín lọ sọ́dọ̀ àwọn aposteli, ó sì sọ fún wọn bí ó ti rí Olúwa ní ọ̀nà, àti bí ó ti fi ìgboyà wàásù ní Damasku ní orúkọ Jesu.
28 He was with them coming in and going out in Jerusalem, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.
Saulu sì wà pẹ̀lú wọn, ó ń wọlé, ó sì ń jáde ní Jerusalẹmu. Ó sì ń fi ìgboyà wàásù ni orúkọ Olúwa.
29 He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.
Ó ń sọ̀rọ̀ lòdì sí àwọn ará Helleni, ó sì ń jà wọ́n ní iyàn; ṣùgbọ́n wọn ń pète láti pa a.
30 When the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him off to Tarsus.
Nígbà tí àwọn arákùnrin sì mọ̀, wọ́n mú sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Kesarea, wọ́n sì rán an lọ sí Tarsu.
31 So the congregation throughout all Judea and Galil and Samaria had peace, and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Ruach ha-Kodesh.
Nígbà náà ni ìjọ wà ni àlàáfíà yíká gbogbo Judea àti ni Galili àti ni Samaria, wọn ń fẹsẹ̀múlẹ̀, wọn ń rìn ní ìbẹ̀rù Olúwa, àti ni ìtùnú Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́, wọn ń pọ̀ sí i.
32 It happened, as Peter went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the kadoshim who lived at Lydda.
Ó sì ṣe, bí Peteru ti ń kọjá lọ káàkiri láàrín wọn, ó sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ pẹ̀lú si ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ ti ń gbé ni Lida.
33 There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years, because he was paralyzed.
Níbẹ̀ ni ó rí ọkùnrin kan ti a pè ní Aenea tí ó ti dùbúlẹ̀ lórí àkéte ni ọdún mẹ́jọ, ó ní ààrùn ẹ̀gbà.
34 Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Yeshua the Messiah heals you. Get up and make your bed." Immediately he arose.
Peteru sì wí fún un pé, “Aenea, Jesu Kristi mú ọ láradá; dìde kí ó sì tún àkéte rẹ ṣe.” Ó sì dìde lójúkan náà.
35 All who lived at Lydda and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
Gbogbo àwọn tí ń gbé Lida àti Ṣaroni sì rí i, wọn sì yípadà sí Olúwa.
36 Now there was at Joppa a certain talmid named Tabitha (which when translated, means Dorcas). This woman was full of good works and tzedakah which she did.
Ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn kan sí wà ní Joppa ti a ń pè ni Tabita (èyí tí ó túmọ̀ sí Dọkasi); obìnrin yìí pọ̀ ni iṣẹ́ oore, àti ìtọrẹ àánú ṣíṣe.
37 It happened in those days that she fell sick, and died. When they had washed her, they placed her in an upper chamber.
Ní àkókò náà ni ó wà nínú àìsàn, ó sì kú, wọ́n sì wẹ òkú rẹ̀, wọ́n sì gbé òkú rẹ̀ sí iyàrá òkè.
38 As Lydda was near Joppa, the talmidim, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to us.
Bí Lida sì ti súnmọ́ Joppa, nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn gbọ́ pé Peteru wà níbẹ̀, wọ́n rán ọkùnrin méjì sí i láti bẹ̀ ẹ́ pé, “Má ṣe jáfara láti dé ọ̀dọ̀ wa.”
39 Peter got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper chamber. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
Peteru sí dìde, ó sì bá wọn lọ. Nígbà tí ó dé, wọ́n mú un lọ sí iyàrá òkè náà, gbogbo àwọn opó sí dúró tì í wọn sọkún, wọ́n sì ń fi ẹ̀wù àti aṣọ tí Dọkasi dá hàn án, nígbà tí ó wà pẹ̀lú wọn.
40 Peter put them all out, and kneeled down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, "Tabitha, get up." She opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
Ṣùgbọ́n Peteru ti gbogbo wọn sóde, ó sì kúnlẹ̀, ó sí gbàdúrà; ó sì yípadà sí òkú, ó ní “Tabita, dìde.” Ó sì la ojú rẹ̀, nígbà tí ó sì rí Peteru, ó dìde jókòó.
41 He gave her his hand, and raised her up. Calling the kadoshim and widows, he presented her alive.
Ó sì na ọwọ́ rẹ̀ sí i, ó fà á dìde; nígbà tí ó sì pe àwọn ènìyàn mímọ́ àti àwọn opó, ó fi lé wọn lọ́wọ́ láààyè.
42 And it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
Èyí sì di mí mọ̀ já gbogbo Joppa; ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ sì gba Olúwa gbọ́.
43 It happened, that he stayed many days in Joppa with one Shim'on, a tanner.
Ó gbé ọjọ́ púpọ̀ ni Joppa ní ọ̀dọ̀ ọkùnrin kan Simoni oníṣọ̀nà-awọ.
