Acts 14
1 At Iconium the Apostles went together to the Jewish synagogue and preached, with the result that a great number both of Jews and Greeks believed.
Nʼobodo Aikoniọm, Pọl na Banabas banyekwara nʼụlọ nzukọ ndị Juu, kwuo okwu nʼụzọ pụrụ iche nke mere nʼọtụtụ mmadụ, ndị Juu na ndị mba ọzọ kwenyekwara.
2 But the Jews who had refused obedience stirred up the Gentiles and embittered their minds against the brethren.
Ndị Juu, ndị na-anabataghị okwu ahụ, kpaliri ndị mba ọzọ mee ka mkpụrụobi ha jọọ njọ megide ụmụnna.
3 Yet Paul and Barnabas remained there for a considerable time, speaking freely and relying on the Lord, while He bore witness to the Message of His grace by permitting signs and marvels to be done by them.
Otu ọ dị, ha nọgidere nʼebe ahụ ogologo oge, na-ekwusakwa okwu nke Onyenwe anyị na-atụghị egwu ọbụla. Onye nke gosikwara na ọ bụ okwu amara ya ka ha na-ekwu site nʼinye ha ike ịrụ ọrụ ịrịbama na ọrụ ebube dị iche iche.
4 At length the people of the city split into parties, some siding with the Jews and some with the Apostles.
Ma ndị obodo ahụ kewara abụọ, ụfọdụ nʼime ha dịnyere ndị Juu. Ụfọdụ dịnyekwara ndị ozi.
5 And when a hostile movement was made by both Gentiles and Jews, with the sanction of their magistrates, to maltreat and stone them,
Mgbe ndị mba ọzọ, na ndị Juu, ha na ndị ndu ha, gbara izu ime ha ihe ihere, tụọkwa ha nkume.
6 the Apostles, having become aware of it, made their escape into the Lycaonian towns of Lystra and Derbe, and the neighbouring country.
Ndị ozi ahụ matara nzube ha site nʼebe ahụ gbapụ ọsọ gbaruo nʼakụkụ Laikonia, gbaba nʼime obodo Listra na Debi na obodo nta ndị ọzọ ndị dị nʼakụkụ ebe ahụ.
7 And there they continued to tell the Good News.
Nʼebe ahụ, ha gara nʼihu na-ekwusakwa oziọma ahụ.
8 Now a man who had no power in his feet used to sit in the streets of Lystra. He had been lame from his birth and had never walked.
Nʼobodo Listra, o nwere otu nwoke dara ngwụrọ site nʼoge a mụrụ ya. Nwoke a ejibeghị ụkwụ ya abụọ gaa ije mgbe ọbụla.
9 After this man had listened to one of Paul's sermons, the Apostle, looking steadily at him and perceiving that he had faith to be cured,
O gere ntị mgbe Pọl na-ekwu okwu. Onye legidere ya anya hụ na ọ nwere okwukwe nke a ga-eji mee ka a gwọọ ya,
10 said in a loud voice, "Stand upright upon your feet!"
were oke olu sị, “Guzoro nʼụkwụ gị abụọ.” Nwoke ahụ wuliri elu malite ịga ije.
11 So he sprang up and began to walk about. Then the crowds, seeing what Paul had done, rent the air with their shouts in the Lycaonian language, saying, "The gods have assumed human form and have come down to us."
Mgbe igwe mmadụ ahụ hụrụ ihe Pọl mere, ha tiri mkpu nʼasụsụ Laikonia sị, “Ndị a bụ chi bịakwutere anyị nʼụdịdị mmadụ.”
12 They called Barnabas 'Zeus,' and Paul, as being the principal speaker, 'Hermes.'
Banabas ka ha kpọrọ Zeus ma kpọkwa Pọl Hamis nʼihi na ọ bụ ya bụ onye ọka okwu.
13 And the priest of Zeus--the temple of Zeus being at the entrance to the city--brought bullocks and garlands to the gates, and in company with the crowd was intending to offer sacrifices to them.
Onye nchụaja Zeus, nke ụlọ arụsị ya dị nso nʼihu obodo, kpụtara oke ehi wetakwa okoko osisi dị iche iche. Ya na igwe mmadụ ahụ chọrọ ịchụ aja nye ha nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ha.
14 But the Apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it; and tearing their clothes they rushed out into the middle of the crowd, exclaiming, "Sirs, why are you doing all this?
Mgbe ndị ozi ahụ, Banabas na Pọl nụrụ ihe ndị a, ha dọwara uwe ha, gbara ọsọ jekwuru igwe mmadụ ahụ na-eti mkpu,
15 We also are but men, with natures kindred to your own; and we bring you the Good News that you are to turn from these unreal things, to worship the ever-living God, the Creator of earth and sky and sea and of everything that is in them.
na-asị, “Ndị ikom, gịnị ka unu na-achọ ime? Lee, anyị bụkwa mmadụ dị ka unu. Ọ bụ oziọma ka anyị wetaara unu. Anyị chọrọ ka unu site nʼịsọpụrụ ihe ndị a na-abaghị uru, bịakwute Chineke dị ndụ. Onye kere eluigwe na ụwa, na oke osimiri na ihe niile dị nʼime ha.
16 In times gone by He allowed all the nations to go their own ways;
Nʼoge gara aga, ọ hapụrụ mba niile ka ha na-eme ihe masịrị ha.
17 and yet by His beneficence He has not left His existence unattested--His beneficence, I mean, in sending you rain from Heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and joyfulness."
Nʼagbanyeghị nke a ọ hapụghị ị debere onwe ya ihe ndị ga-agbara ya akaebe, site nʼọrụ ọma ya niile. Dị ka inye unu mmiri ozuzo site nʼeluigwe, na mkpụrụ nke ala nʼoge ha. Ọ na-enyekwa unu nri na-emekwa ka obi na-atọ unu ụtọ.”
18 Even with words like these they had difficulty in preventing the thronging crowd from offering sacrifices to them.
Nʼagbanyeghị okwu ndị a, ọ rara ha ahụ igbochi igwe mmadụ ahụ ịchụrụ ha aja.
19 But now a party of Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and, having won over the crowd, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the town, believing him to be dead.
Ma ndị Juu sitere nʼAntiọk na Aikoniọm bịara kpalie obi igwe mmadụ ahụ. Nʼihi ya, ha tụrụ Pọl nkume, dọkpụrụ ya pụọ nʼobodo, chee na ọ nwụọla.
20 When, however, the disciples had collected round him, he rose and went back into the town. The next day he went with Barnabas to Derbe;
Ma mgbe ndị na-eso ụzọ bịara gbaa ya gburugburu, o bilitere, laghachikwa nʼime obodo ahụ. Ma nʼechi ya, ya na Banabas sooro gaa Debi.
21 and, after proclaiming the Good News to the people there and gaining a large number of converts, they retraced their steps to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch.
Ha zisasịrị oziọma nʼime obodo ahụ, nke mere ka ọtụtụ mmadụ bụrụ ndị na-eso ụzọ ya. Ha lọghachiri nʼobodo Listra site ya gaa Aikoniọm na Antiọk.
22 Everywhere they strengthened the disciples by encouraging them to hold fast to the faith, and warned them saying, "It is through many afflictions that we must make our way into the Kingdom of God."
Nʼebe ahụ ha gbara ndị na-eso ụzọ ume kasịekwa ha obi sị ha jidesie okwukwe ahụ ike. Ha sịrị, “Anyị ga-agabiga ọtụtụ mkpagbu dị iche iche tupu anyị abaa nʼalaeze Chineke.”
23 And in every Church, after prayer and fasting, they selected Elders by show of hands, and commended them to the Lord on whom their faith rested.
Mgbe ha họpụtachara ndị okenye nʼime nzukọ niile. Ha sitere nʼobubu ọnụ na ekpere tinye ha nʼaka Onyenwe anyị, bụ onye ha kwenyere na ya.
24 Then passing through Pisidia they came into Pamphylia;
Ha sitere nʼakụkụ Pisidia garuo Pamfilia.
25 and after telling the Message at Perga they came down to Attaleia.
Mgbe ha zisachara oziọma nʼobodo Pega, ha gbadara gaa Atalia.
26 Thence they sailed to Antioch, where they had previously been commended to the grace of God in connexion with the work which they had now completed.
Site nʼebe ahụ, ha sooro ụgbọ mmiri jeruo Antiọk bụ ebe a nọ nyefee ha nʼamara Chineke nʼihi ọrụ ndị a ha rụzuru.
27 Upon their arrival they called the Church together and proceeded to report in detail all that God, working with them, had done, and how He had opened for the Gentiles the door of faith.
Mgbe ha bịaruru, ha kpọkọtara nzukọ kọwara ha ihe niile Chineke sitere nʼaka ha mee, na otu o siri meghe ọnụ ụzọ nke okwukwe nye ndị mba ọzọ.
28 And they remained a considerable time in Antioch with the disciples.
Ha na ndị na-eso ụzọ nọgidere nʼebe ahụ ruo oge dị anya.
