Atũmwo 11
1 Na rĩrĩ, atũmwo, na ariũ na aarĩ a Ithe witũ arĩa maarĩ Judea guothe makĩigua atĩ andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ o nao nĩmarĩkĩtie kwamũkĩra kiugo kĩa Ngai.
Now the Apostles and the brethren who were throughout Judaea heard that, the nations also, had welcomed the word of God.
2 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio rĩrĩa Petero aambatire agĩthiĩ Jerusalemu, andũ arĩa meetĩkĩtie a thiritũ ya arĩa maruaga makĩmũrũithia
And, when Peter came up unto Jerusalem, they of the circumcision began to find fault with him,
3 makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩwatoonyire nyũmba ya andũ arĩa mataruaga, na ũkĩrĩĩanĩra nao.”
Saying—he went in unto men uncircumcised, and did eat with them.
4 Nowe Petero akĩambĩrĩria kũmataarĩria maũndũ mothe wega o ta ũrĩa meekĩkĩte, akĩmeera atĩrĩ:
But Peter, making a beginning, went on to set forth the matter unto them in order, saying—
5 “Ndaarĩ itũũra-inĩ rĩa Jopa ngĩhooya Ngai, na rĩrĩa ndaagoocereire-rĩ, ngĩona kĩoneki. Ngĩona kĩndũ gĩatariĩ ta gĩtama kĩnene gĩkĩharũrũkio kuuma igũrũ na mĩthia yakĩo ĩna, na gĩgĩikũrũka o harĩa ndaarĩ.
I was in the city of Joppa praying, and saw in a trance, a vision: —coming down a sort of vessel, like a large sheet, by four corners, being let down out of heaven, and it came even unto me:
6 Ndaacũthĩrĩria thĩinĩ wakĩo ngĩona nyamũ cia thĩ iria irĩ magũrũ mana, na nyamũ cia gĩthaka, na nyamũ iria itambaga thĩ na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ.
Into which steadfastly looking, began to observe, and saw the quadrupeds of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the birds of heaven.
7 Ngĩcooka ngĩigua mũgambo ũkĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Petero, ũkĩra. Thĩnja, na ũrĩe!’
Moreover heard a voice also, saying unto me—Rise, Peter! slay and eat.
8 “Na niĩ ngĩcookia atĩrĩ, ‘Aca, Mwathani! Gũtirĩ kĩndũ gĩtarĩ kĩamũre kana kĩrĩ thaahu kĩrĩ gĩatoonya kanua gakwa.’
But I said—By no means, Lord, because, a common or unclean thing, hath at no time entered into my mouth.
9 “Naguo mũgambo ũcio ũkĩaria riita rĩa keerĩ kuuma igũrũ ũkĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Ndũkanoige kĩndũ o na kĩrĩkũ kĩrĩa Ngai atheretie atĩ ti kĩamũre.’
And a voice answered, a second time, out of heaven—What things, God, hath cleansed, be not, thou, making common.
10 Ũndũ ũyũ wekĩkire maita matatũ, nakĩo gĩtama kĩu gĩkĩguucio na igũrũ.
And, this, took place thrice, —and the whole was drawn up again into heaven;
11 “O hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ atatũ arĩa maatũmĩtwo kũrĩ niĩ kuuma Kaisarea magĩkinya nyũmba-inĩ ĩrĩa ndaikaraga.
And lo! immediately, three men halted at the house wherein we were, sent from Caesarea unto me.
12 Nake Roho akĩnjĩĩra thiĩ nao na ndikagĩe na ngaanja. Nao ariũ a Ithe witũ aya atandatũ tũgĩthiĩ nao na tũgĩtoonya nyũmba ya mũndũ ũcio.
And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. And there went with me these six brethren also; and we entered into the house of the man,
13 Nake agĩtwĩra ũrĩa oimĩrĩirwo nĩ mũraika arĩ gwake nyũmba, akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Tũmana Jopa wĩtĩrwo Simoni ũrĩa wĩtagwo Petero.
And he related to us how he had seen the messenger in his house, standing, and saying—Send away unto Joppa, and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter;
14 Nĩegũkũrehera ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩa ĩgũtũma wee na nyũmba yaku yothe mũhonoke.’
Who shall speak words unto thee, whereby thou shall be saved, thou, and all thy house.
15 “Na rĩrĩa ndaambĩrĩirie kwaria-rĩ, Roho Mũtheru akĩmaikũrũkĩra o ta ũrĩa aatũikũrũkĩire hĩndĩ ya mbere.
And, as I began to be speaking, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as upon us also at the beginning.
16 Hĩndĩ ĩyo ngĩririkana ũrĩa Mwathani oigĩte atĩrĩ, ‘Johana aabatithanagia na maaĩ, no inyuĩ mũkaabatithio na Roho Mũtheru.’
And I was put in mind of the word of the Lord, how he used to say—John, indeed, immersed with water; but, ye, shall be immersed in Holy Spirit.
17 Angĩkorwo Ngai nĩamaheire kĩheo o kĩrĩa aatũheire ithuĩ andũ arĩa twetĩkirie Mwathani Jesũ Kristũ-rĩ, niĩ ndaarĩ ũũ nĩguo ndĩciirie atĩ no ngararie Ngai?”
If therefore the like free-gift God gave unto them, as even unto us, when we had believed upon the Lord Jesus Christ, who was, I, that could withstand God?
18 Rĩrĩa maaiguire ũguo, magĩtiga ngarari na makĩgooca Ngai, makiuga atĩrĩ, “Gwakorwo nĩ ũguo-rĩ, Ngai nĩakinyĩirie andũ-a-Ndũrĩrĩ o nao ũhoro wa kwĩrira nĩguo magĩe na muoyo.”
And, having heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying—Hence, even unto the nations, God hath granted repentance unto life.
19 Na rĩrĩ, andũ arĩa maahurunjũkire nĩ ũndũ wa kũnyariirwo thuutha wa kũũragwo gwa Stefano magĩthiĩ o nginya Foinike, na Kuporo, na Antiokia, no matiahunjagĩria andũ angĩ ũhoro tiga o Ayahudi oiki.
They, therefore, who had been scattered abroad by reason of the tribulation that took place on account of Stephen, passed through as far as Phoenice and Cyprus and Antioch, unto no one speaking the word, save alone unto Jews.
20 O na kũrĩ o ũguo, andũ amwe ao, arĩa moimĩte Kuporo, na Kurene, magĩthiĩ Antiokia na makĩambĩrĩria kwarĩria Ayunani o nao, makĩmahunjĩria ũhoro mwega ũkoniĩ Mwathani Jesũ.
And there were some from among them, Cyprians and Cyrenians, who, indeed, coming unto Antioch, began speaking, even unto the Grecian Jews, announcing the glad tidings as to the Lord Jesus;
21 Guoko kwa Mwathani kwarĩ hamwe nao; na andũ aingĩ magĩĩtĩkia makĩgarũrũkĩra Mwathani.
And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number—they who believed—turned unto the Lord.
22 Nayo ngumo ya maũndũ macio igĩkinyĩra andũ a kanitha ũrĩa warĩ kũu Jerusalemu; nao magĩtũma Baranaba athiĩ Antiokia.
And the matter was reported in the hearing of the assembly that was in Jerusalem, concerning them; and they sent forth Barnabas, as far as Antioch;
23 Rĩrĩa aakinyire na akĩona ũira wa wega wa Ngai, agĩkena na akĩmomĩrĩria marĩ othe, atĩ maikarage maathĩkĩire Mwathani na ngoro ciao ciothe.
Who, arriving, and seeing the favour which was of God, rejoiced, and went on to beseech all, with the purpose of their heart, to abide [in] the Lord;
24 Baranaba aarĩ mũndũ mwega waiyũrĩtwo nĩ Roho Mũtheru na warĩ na wĩtĩkio, nao andũ aingĩ magĩĩtĩkia Mwathani.
Because he was a good man, and full of Holy Spirit and faith; and a considerable multitude were added unto the Lord.
25 Nake Baranaba agĩthiĩ Tariso gũcaria Saũlũ,
He went away, however, unto Tarsus, to seek up Saul;
26 na rĩrĩa aamuonire akĩmũrehe Antiokia. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio kwa ihinda rĩa mwaka ũmwe Baranaba na Saũlũ makĩgomana na kanitha na makĩruta andũ aingĩ. Kũu Antiokia nĩkuo arutwo meetirwo Akristiano riita rĩa mbere.
And, finding him, he brought him unto Antioch. And so it was with them, that, for a whole year, they were brought together in the assembly, and taught a considerable multitude; also that the disciples, first in Antioch, were called, Christians.
27 Ihinda-inĩ rĩu anabii amwe magĩikũrũka kuuma Jerusalemu nginya Antiokia.
Now, in these days, there came down from Jerusalem, prophets, unto Antioch.
28 Ũmwe wao wetagwo Agabo akĩrũgama, na nĩ ũndũ wa kũmenyithio nĩ Roho Mũtheru, akĩratha atĩ nĩ gũkũgĩa ngʼaragu nene Roma guothe. (Ũndũ ũcio wekĩkire hĩndĩ ya wathani wa Kilaudio.)
And one from among them, by name Agabus, rising up, gave a sign, through means of the Spirit, that, a great famine, was coming over all the inhabited earth; which, indeed, came to pass under Claudius.
29 Nao arutwo, magĩĩciiria kũheana ũteithio nĩ ũndũ wa ariũ a Ithe witũ arĩa maatũũraga kũu Judea, o ta ũrĩa mũndũ aahotithĩtio.
And, according as any one of the disciples was being prospered, they each one of them set apart [something] for ministering, to send unto the brethren, who dwelt in Jerusalem; —
30 Nĩmekire ũndũ ũcio, makĩnengera Baranaba na Saũlũ iheo ciao matwarĩre athuuri a kanitha.
Which thing they also did, sending it unto the Elders, through the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
