Acts 9
1 But Saul, yet breathing out threatening and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
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 of him letters to Damascus to the synagogues, that if he found any who were of this way of belief, whether they were 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 And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus; and suddenly there shone around a him a light from heaven;
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 earth, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou 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 art thou, Lord? And he answered, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
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 arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
Dìde, kí o sì lọ sí ìlú náà, a ó sì sọ fún ọ nípa ohun tí ìwọ yóò ṣe.”
7 And the men that journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing the voice, 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 And Saul arose from the earth; but when his eyes were opened, he saw nothing; and 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 And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.
Ó sì gbé ọjọ́ mẹ́ta ni àìríran kò sì jẹ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sì mu.
10 And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias, and to him the Lord said in a vision, Ananias! And he said, Behold, I am here, 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 And the Lord said to him, Arise, and go into the street called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus; for lo! he prayeth,
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 hath seen a man, named Ananias, coming in and putting his hand on him, that he might receive 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 great evils he hath done to thy saints 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 And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy 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; for this man is to me a chosen vessel, to bear my name before nations, and kings, and the sons 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 myself will show him how great 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 And Ananias went away, and entered the house; and putting his hands on him, he said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus who appeared to thee in the way thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mayst receive sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
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 And immediately there fell off from his eyes as it were scales; and he received sight, and arose, and was baptized.
Lójúkan náà nǹkan kan ti ó dàbí ìpẹ́ sì bọ kúrò lójú rẹ̀, ó sì ríran; ó sì dìde, a sì bamitiisi rẹ̀.
19 And having taken some food he was strengthened. And he was some days with the disciples in Damascus.
Nígbà tí ó sì jẹun, ara rẹ̀ mókun. Saulu sì wá pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn ní Damasku ní ọjọ́ púpọ̀.
20 And immediately he preached Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
Lójúkan náà ó sì ń wàásù Kristi nínú àwọn Sinagọgu pé, Jesu ni Ọmọ Ọlọ́run.
21 And all that heard him were amazed, and said, Is not this he that destroyed in Jerusalem those who called on this name? And he hath come hither for this purpose, that he may bring them bound to the chief priests.
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 gained still more strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
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 But after many days had passed, the Jews took counsel 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; and they were even watching the gates day and night to 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 disciples 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 And when he had come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join himself to the disciples; and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
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 apostles, and related to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that he had spoken to him, and hew he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
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 And he was with them going in and out at Jerusalem,
Saulu sì wà pẹ̀lú wọn, ó ń wọlé, ó sì ń jáde ní Jerusalẹmu. Ó sì ń fi ìgboyà wàásù ni orúkọ Olúwa.
29 speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. And he often spoke and disputed with the Hellenists; but they were endeavoring to slay him.
Ó ń sọ̀rọ̀ lòdì sí àwọn ará Helleni, ó sì ń jà wọ́n ní iyàn; ṣùgbọ́n wọn ń pète láti pa a.
30 But the brethren obtaining knowledge of it, brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
Nígbà tí àwọn arákùnrin sì mọ̀, wọ́n mú sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Kesarea, wọ́n sì rán an lọ sí Tarsu.
31 The church therefore throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being built up, and walking in the fear of the Lord; and by the exhortation of the Holy Spirit it was greatly increased.
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 And it came to pass, that as Peter went through the whole country, he came down also to the saints who dwelt 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 And there he found a certain man named AEneas, who had lain on a bed eight years, and was palsied.
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 And Peter said to him, AEneas, Jesus the Christ healeth thee; arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
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 And all that dwelt in Lydda and 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 at Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which name being interpreted is the same as Dorcas, that is, Gazelle. This woman was full of good works and alms-deeds 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 And it came to pass in those days, that she fell sick, and died; and when they had washed her, they laid 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 And as Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent to him two men with the entreaty, Do not delay to come 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 Then Peter arose, and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber; and all the widows came to him weeping, and showing the coats and cloaks which Dorcas 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 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down and prayed; and turning to the body he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and seeing 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 And he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling the saints and the 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 And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon, a tanner.
Ó gbé ọjọ́ púpọ̀ ni Joppa ní ọ̀dọ̀ ọkùnrin kan Simoni oníṣọ̀nà-awọ.
