Acts 11
1 And the apostles and the brethren throughout Judaea heard that the gentiles also had received the word of God.
Eteƒe medidi kura hafi apostoloawo kple xɔsetɔ siwo le Yudea la se be ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo hã xɔ Mawu ƒe nya la.
2 And when Peter went up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
Ke esi Petro trɔ va ɖo Yerusalem la, xɔsetɔ siwo tso aʋa la he nya ɖe eŋu vevie.
3 saying, Thou didst go in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.
Wogblɔ be, “Wò la, eɖade ha kple ame siwo metso aʋa o, eye mi kple wo miede asi agba ɖeka me ɖu nu gɔ̃!”
4 But Peter rehearsed the matter to them in order from the beginning, saying,
Esia na be Petro gblɔ ale si nyawo katã va dzɔe la na wo.
5 I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision, a sort of vessel descending, as it were a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners, and it came even to me;
Egblɔ na wo be, “Gbe ɖeka la, esime menɔ gbe dom ɖa le Yopa la, mekpɔ ŋutega aɖe. Nu si tututu mekpɔ lae nye be aklala gã aɖe si wotsi ka ɖe eƒe dzogoe eneawo dzi la ɖiɖi ɖe gbɔnye tso dziƒo.
6 on which fixing my eyes, I observed, and saw the four-footed beasts of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the birds of the air.
Esi melé ŋku ɖe aklala la dzi la, mekpɔ anyigbadzilã afɔenewo, lã wɔadãwo kple lã tatawo kple dziƒoxeviwo le afi ma.
7 And I also heard a voice saying to me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
Mese gbe aɖe wònɔ gbɔgblɔm nam be, ‘Petro, tsi tsitre. Wu lã siawo ne nàɖu.’
8 But I said, Not so, Lord; for nothing common or unclean ever entered my mouth.
“Ke meɖo eŋu be, ‘Kpao, Aƒetɔ, nyemate ŋu awɔ esia o. Nyemeɖu lã makɔmakɔ siawo dometɔ aɖeke kpɔ o.’
9 But a voice answered the second time out of heaven, That which God hath cleansed, call not thou common.
“Ke megase gbeɖiɖi la tso dziƒo wògblɔ nam be, ‘Ne Mawu da asi ɖe nane dzi be ekɔ la, wò la, mègagblɔ be mekɔ o!’
10 And this was done three times; and all were again drawn up into heaven.
“Nuwɔna sia yi edzi zi etɔ̃ sɔŋ, eye emegbe la, wohe aklala la kple nu siwo katã nɔ edzi la yi dziƒoe.
11 And lo! immediately there stood three men at the house where I was, having been sent to me from Caesarea.
Le ɣe ma ɣi me tututu la, ame dɔdɔ etɔ̃ aɖewo tso Kaesarea va ɖo aƒe si me menɔ la me be yewoakplɔm ayi Kaesarea.
12 And the Spirit bade me go with them. And these six brethren also came with me, and we entered the man's house.
Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la de dzi ƒo nam be magaxa nu be womenye Yudatɔwo o, ke boŋ mayi kpli wo, eya ta nye kple nɔvinye ade siwo le afi sia la míedze mɔ heyi. Eteƒe medidi o la, míeva ɖo ame si dɔ ame ɖo ɖem la ƒe aƒe me le Kaesarea.
13 And he told us how he had seen the angel in his house, standing and saying to him, Send to Joppa, and call for Simon, surnamed Peter;
Ŋutsu sia gblɔ ale si mawudɔla aɖe ɖe eɖokui fiae eye wògblɔ na ye be, ‘Dɔ ame ɖo ɖe Yopa ne woayɔ Simɔn si wogayɔna hã be Petro la vɛ na wò.
14 who will speak to thee words by which thou shalt be saved, and all thy house.
Atsɔ gbedeasi aɖe vɛ na wò si ana be wò kple wò aƒe siaa miakpɔ ɖeɖe.’
15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
“Esi mese nya sia la, mede asi nyanyui la gbɔgblɔ me na wo. Ke esi mele nyaa gbɔgblɔ dzi la, Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la ŋutɔ dze wo dzi abe ale si tututu wòdze míawo hã dzii le gɔmedzedzea ene.
16 And I remembered the word of the Lord, that he said, John indeed baptized with water, but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit.
Esi nu sia dzɔ alea ko la, Aƒetɔ ƒe nya si wògblɔ be, ‘Yohanes, de mawutsi ta na amewo kple tsi, ke miawo la, woade mawutsi ta na mi kple Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la’ va ta me nam enumake.
17 Since then God gave the like gift to them as to us, on believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?
Azɔ esi wònye Mawu ŋutɔe na nunana sia ame siawo abe ale si wòna míawo hã be míaxɔ Aƒetɔ Yesu Kristo dzi se ene ta la, ame kae menye be mahe nya kple Mawu?”
18 And when they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, So then to the gentiles also God hath granted repentance unto life.
Esi wose Petro ƒe nya siawo la, woƒe nu ku, eye wokafu Mawu gblɔ be, “Ekema Mawu na mɔnukpɔkpɔ ame siwo menye Yudatɔwo o la hã be woatrɔ dzi me akpɔ agbe.”
19 Now they who were scattered abroad by the persecution that arose on account of Stephen traveled as far as Phenicia, and Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to none but Jews.
Le ɣeyiɣi siawo me la, xɔsetɔ siwo si le Yerusalem le yometiti si va le Stefano wuwu megbe la dometɔ aɖewo zɔ mɔ yi kekeke Foenisia, Kipro kple Antioxia nutowo me henɔ nyanyui la gblɔm na ame siwo nye Yudatɔwo ko.
20 But some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Greeks, publishing the glad tidings of the Lord Jesus.
Gake xɔsetɔ siwo tso Kipro kple Kirene heyi Antioxia la dometɔ aɖewo ƒo nu na Helatɔ aɖewo hã tso Aƒetɔ Yesu ƒe nyanyui la ŋu.
21 And the hand of the Lord was with them; and a great number believed, and turned to the Lord.
Eye Aƒetɔ la ƒe ŋusẽ nɔ kpli wo, eye ameha gã aɖe xɔ se hezu Aƒetɔ la yomedzelawo.
22 But the talk concerning them came to the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem; and they sent forth Barnabas, to go as far as Antioch;
Esi Hame si le Yerusalem la se nu si le edzi yim la, woɖo Barnabas ɖe Antioxia be woaɖakpe ɖe xɔsetɔ yeyeawo ŋu.
23 who, when he came, and saw the grace of God, rejoiced, and exhorted all to cleave to the Lord with purpose of heart;
Esi Barnabas kpɔ nu gã siwo Mawu wɔ le Antioxia la, dzi dzɔe ŋutɔ. Egado ŋusẽ xɔsetɔawo be woayi edzi alé ɖe Mawu ŋu goŋgoŋgoŋ nenye be nya sia nya le dzɔdzɔm hã.
24 for he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great multitude was added to the Lord.
Barnabas nye ŋutsu dɔmenyotɔ aɖe si me Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la yɔ fũu eye eƒe xɔse hã li ke sesĩe. To ame sia ƒe dɔwɔwɔ me la, ame geɖewo trɔ zu Aƒetɔ la tɔ.
25 And he went to Tarsus, to seek for Saul;
Tso Antioxia la, Barnabas ti Saulo ƒe mɔ yi Tarso.
26 and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it came to pass, that for a whole year they came together in the church, and taught a great multitude; and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
Esi wòke ɖe eŋu la ekplɔe, eye wo ame eve la trɔ va Antioxia henɔ afi ma ƒe ɖeka sɔŋ, nɔ nu fiam xɔsetɔwo. Antioxiae wona ŋkɔ xɔsetɔwo le zi gbãtɔ be, “Kristotɔwo.”
27 And in those days prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
Le ɣeyiɣi sia me tututu la, Nyagblɔɖila aɖewo tso Yerusalem va Antioxia.
28 And one of them named Agabus stood up, and signified by the Spirit, that there was about to be a great famine over the whole world; which came to pass in the days of Claudius.
Gbe ɖeka la, wo dometɔ ɖeka si woyɔna be Agabu la gblɔ nya ɖi tso Gbɔgbɔ Kɔkɔe la ƒe ŋusẽ me be dɔ gã aɖe gbɔna toto ge le xexea me katã. (Nya sia va eme le Fia Klaudio ƒe dziɖuɣi.)
29 And according as any one of the disciples was prospered, they determined every one of them to send relief to the brethren who dwelt in Judaea;
Le esia ta xɔsetɔwo ɖo be yewoadzɔ nu, aɖo ɖe yewo nɔvi Kristotɔ siwo le Yudea eye ame sia ame nadzɔ nu abe ale si wòate ŋui ene.
30 which also they did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
Wowɔ esia, eye wotsɔ woƒe nunanawo de Barnabas kple Saulo si be woatsɔ ayi na hanunɔlawo le Yerusalem.
