Ọrụ Ndị Ozi 13
1 Ndị amụma na ndị nkuzi ụfọdụ nọkwa na nzukọ dị nʼAntiọk. Ụfọdụ nʼime ha bụ Banabas na Simiọn onye a na-akpọ nwoke ojii, na Lusiọs onye Sirini, na Manaen (onye azụlitekọrọ ya na eze Herọd), na Sọl.
Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was [there], prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen the foster-brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2 Mgbe ha nọ na-efe Onyenwe anyị ofufe na-ebukwa ọnụ, Mmụọ Nsọ sịrị, “Kewapụtaranụ m Banabas na Sọl, nʼihi ọrụ ahụ nke m kpọrọ ha.”
And as they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
3 Ya mere, mgbe ha busiri ọnụ kpekwa ekpere, ha bikwasịrị ha aka nʼisi zipụ ha.
Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
4 Ebe Mmụọ Nsọ zipụrụ ha, ha gbadara Selusia, sitekwa ebe ahụ gbadaa Saiprọs.
So they, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
5 Mgbe ha bịaruru Salamis, ha banyere nʼụlọ nzukọ ndị Juu kwusaa okwu Chineke. Jọn sokwa ha dịka onye na-ejere ha ozi.
And when they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John as their attendant.
6 Mgbe ha gazuchara obodo niile ndị ahụ mmiri gbara gburugburu ruo Pafọs, ha zutere otu onye mgbaasị, onye Juu bụ onye amụma ụgha a na-akpọ Ba-Jisọs.
And when they had gone through the whole island unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-Jesus;
7 Ya na otu onye ọchịchị obodo, aha ya bụ Sajiọs Pọlọs nọ. Ọ bụ nwoke nwere ọgụgụisi nʼebe ọ dị ukwuu, ọ kpọrọ Banabas na Sọl ka ha gwa ya okwu nke Chineke.
who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. The same called unto him Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.
8 Ma onye mgbaasị ahụ, onye aha ya bụkwa Elimas (nʼihi nke a bụ aha ya ma asụgharịa ya) malitere igbochi ha site nʼimegharị onyeisi ahụ anya ka ọ ghara ịnabata okwukwe ahụ.
But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the faith.
9 Ma Sọl, onye aha ya bụkwa Pọl, onye jupụtara na Mmụọ Nsọ, legidere ya anya
But Saul, who is also [called] Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him,
10 sị, “Gị nwa ekwensu, jupụtara nʼaghụghọ na nʼihe ọjọọ dị iche iche. Gị onye iro nke ezi omume niile. Ọ bụ na i gaghị akwụsị imerụ ụzọ niile ziri ezi nke Onyenwe anyị?
and said, O full of all guile and all villany, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
11 Nʼihi ya lee, iwe nke Onyenwe anyị ga-adakwasị gị. Ị ga-ekpụ ìsì nwa oge, ị gaghị enwe ike hụ ìhè nke anyanwụ.” Nʼotu oge ahụ, ọ hụkwaghị ụzọ ọzọ. Ọ malitere na-ebigharị aka, na-achọkwa onye ga na-edugharị ya.
And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
12 Mgbe onyeisi ahụ hụrụ ihe mere, o kweere, nʼihi na o juru ya anya bụ ozizi nke okwu Onyenwe anyị.
Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
13 Pọl na ndị otu ya ji ụgbọ mmiri site na Pafọs garuo Pega nke dị nʼala Pamfilia. Nʼebe a ka Jọn hapụrụ ha laghachi Jerusalem.
Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
14 Site na Pega ha gara ruo Antiọk obodo nke dị na Pisidia. Nʼụbọchị izuike, ha banyere nʼụlọ nzukọ ndị Juu nọdụ ala.
But they, passing through from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia; and they went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
15 Mgbe a gụpụtasịrị site nʼakwụkwọ iwu na nke ndị amụma, ndịisi ụlọ ekpere ahụ zigara ya ozi, sị, “Ụmụnna anyị, ọ bụrụ na unu nwere okwu ịgbaume nye anyị, biko kwuonụ ya.”
And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
16 Pọl guzoro ọtọ nʼetiti ha feere ha aka ya, sị, “Unu ndị Izrel na unu ụmụnna m ndị mba ọzọ na-atụ egwu Chineke. Geenụ m ntị.
And Paul stood up, and beckoning with the hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, hearken:
17 Chineke nke Izrel họpụtara nna nna anyị ha mee ha mba dị ukwu nʼoge ha nọ nʼobodo Ijipt. O ji ike aka ya dupụta ha site nʼala ahụ.
The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they sojourned in the land of Egypt, and with a high arm led he them forth out of it.
18 Ọ nagidere ha iri afọ anọ nʼime ọzara.
And for about the time of forty years as a nursing-father bare he them in the wilderness.
19 O bibiri mba asaa dị ukwuu nʼime ala Kenan nʼihi ha, nyekwa ndị ya obodo a ka ọ bụrụ nke ha.
And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave [them] their land for an inheritance, for about four hundred and fifty years:
20 Nke a bụ ihe dị ka narị afọ anọ na iri afọ ise. “Mgbe nke a gasịrị, o nyere ha ndị ikpe dị iche iche ruo oge Samuel onye amụma.
and after these things he gave [them] judges until Samuel the prophet.
21 Mgbe ahụ ha rịọrọ ka enye ha eze, Chineke nyekwara ha Sọl, nwa Kish, onye si nʼagbụrụ Benjamin pụta, onye chịrị iri afọ anọ.
And afterward they asked for a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for the space of forty years.
22 Mgbe o wepụsịrị ya, o mere Devid ka ọ bụrụ eze ha. Ọ gbara ama banyere ya sị, ‘Achọtala m Devid nwa Jesi, nwoke nke dị ka ọchịchọ obi m nke si dị. Ọ bụkwa onye ga-eme ihe niile m chọrọ ka o mee.’
And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; to whom also he bare witness and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who shall do all my will.
23 “Jisọs onye si nʼezinaụlọ Devid pụta ka Chineke wetaara Izrel Onye nzọpụta ahụ bụ Jisọs, dịka o kwere nkwa izite.
Of this man’s seed hath God according to promise brought unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus;
24 Ma tupu ọbịbịa ya, Jọn ekwusala nye ndị Izrel banyere baptizim nke nchegharị.
when John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25 Nʼoge Jọn na-arụsị ọrụ ya, ọ na-asị, ‘Onye ka unu chere na m bụ? Abụkwaghị m onye ahụ. Mba! Abụghị m ya. Ma otu onye ahụ na-abịa nʼazụ m, onye m na-erughị ịtọpụ eriri akpụkpọụkwụ ya.’
And as John was fulfilling his course, he said, What suppose ye that I am? I am not [he]. But behold, there cometh one after me the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to unloose.
26 “Ya mere, ụmụnna m, ndị si nʼagbụrụ Ebraham na ndị niile na-atụ egwu Chineke, ozi nke nzọpụta a dịrị anyị niile.
Brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you that fear God, to us is the word of this salvation sent forth.
27 Ndị bi na Jerusalem na ndị na-achị ha amataghị ya, nke ha ji aghọta okwu ndị amụma nke a na-agụpụtara ha kwa izu, bụ nʼụbọchị izuike. Ma ha mere ka okwu ahụ mezuo, mgbe ha mara ya ikpe ọnwụ.
For they that dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath, fulfilled [them] by condemning [him].
28 Ọ bụ ezie na ha achọtaghị ihe kwesiri ọnwụ nʼaka ya. Ma ha rịọrọ Pailet ka o nye ike ka e gbuo ya.
And though they found no cause of death [in him], yet asked they of Pilate that he should be slain.
29 Mgbe ha mezuru ihe niile e dere banyere ya, ha budatara ya site nʼelu obe, lie ya.
And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb.
30 Ma Chineke mere ka o si nʼọnwụ bilie.
But God raised him from the dead:
31 Ndị niile soro ya jegharịa site na Galili ruo Jerusalem hụkwara ya anya ọtụtụ ụbọchị. Ndị a bụkwa ndị na-agba ama nʼihu ndị mmadụ banyere ya.
and he was seen for many days of them that came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses unto the people.
32 “Anyị na-ezikwa unu oziọma a, nke nkwa ahụ Chineke kwere ndị nna nna anyị ha.
And we bring you good tidings of the promise made unto the fathers,
33 O mezuola ha nye anyị bụ ụmụ ha, site na-ime ka Jisọs site nʼọnwụ bilie, dịka e dere ya nʼakwụkwọ Abụ ọma, “‘Ị bụ ọkpara m, taa abụrụla m nna gị.’
that God hath fulfilled the same unto our children, in that he raised up Jesus; as also it is written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
34 Ma banyere ime ka o site nʼọnwụ bilie, ka ọ ghara ịlaghachi nʼire ure ọzọ. Nke a bụ ihe o kwuru, “‘Aga m emezuru gị nkwa nsọ ahụ niile m kwere Devid.’
And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he hath spoken on this wise, I will give you the holy and sure [blessings] of David.
35 E dekwara ya nʼebe ọzọ nʼabụ ọma, “‘Ị gakwaghị ahapụ anụ ahụ nke Onye gị dị nsọ ka ọ hụ ire ure.’
Because he saith also in another [psalm], Thou wilt not give thy Holy One to see corruption.
36 “Mgbe Devid rụzuru ọrụ Chineke chọrọ ka ọ rụọ nʼọgbọ ha, ọ nwụrụ, e likọọ ya na ndị nna nna ya ha o rekwara ure.
For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
37 Ma onye ahụ Chineke mere ka o site nʼọnwụ bilite erekwaghị ure.
but he whom God raised up saw no corruption.
38 “Ya mere, ụmụnna m, achọrọ m ka o doo unu anya na mgbaghara mmehie dịkwa nʼime nwoke a, bụ Jisọs, anyị na-ekwusa nye unu.
Be it known unto you therefore, brethren, that through this man is proclaimed unto you remission of sins:
39 A na-esite na ya gụọ onye ọbụla kwere nʼonye ezi omume ọ bụladị site nʼihe ndị ahụ niile nke iwu Mosis na-apụghị ịgụ unu dị ka ndị ezi omume.
and by him every one that believeth is justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40 Lezienụ anya ka ihe niile ndị amụma kwuru ghara ịdakwasị unu.
Beware therefore, lest that come upon [you] which is spoken in the prophets:
41 “‘Lee, unu ndị na-akwa emo, nọrọnụ na mgbagwoju anya ma lakwanụ nʼiyi. Nʼihi na agaje m ime otu ihe nʼụbọchị unu nke unu na-agaghị ekwe na o mere, ọ bụladị na mmadụ kọrọ unu maka ya.’”
Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish; For I work a work in your days, A work which ye shall in no wise believe, if one declare it unto you.
42 Mgbe Pọl na Banabas na-apụ, ndị mmadụ rịọrọ ha ka ha bịakwa nʼizu ụka ọzọ gwa ha okwu gbasara ihe ndị a.
And as they went out, they besought that these words might be spoken to them the next sabbath.
43 Mgbe a gbasara nzukọ ahụ, ọtụtụ ndị Juu na ndị mba ọzọ na-atụ egwu Chineke sooro Pọl na Banabas, ndị gwara ha okwu, rịọsiekwa ha ike ka ha nọgide nʼamara Chineke.
Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
44 Nʼụbọchị izuike ọzọ ahụ, ọtụtụ ndị bi nʼobodo ahụ pụtara ịnụrụ okwu Onyenwe anyị.
And the next sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.
45 Mgbe ndị Juu hụrụ igwe mmadụ ndị a, obi ha jupụtara nʼekworo, ha bidokwara ikwu okwu ọjọọ megide okwu niile Pọl na-ekwu.
But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.
46 Ma Pọl na Banabas kwuru okwu na-asọghị anya sị, “Ọ dị mkpa na anyị buuru ụzọ gwa unu okwu nke Chineke, ma ebe ọ bụ na unu jụrụ ịnabata ya, na-echekwa na unu ekwesighị inweta ndụ ebighị ebi, lee, anyị ga-agakwuru ndị mba ọzọ. (aiōnios g166)
And Paul and Barnabas spake out boldly, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you. Seeing ye thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
47 Nʼihi na nke a bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị nyere anyị nʼiwu, “‘Emeela m ka unu bụrụ ìhè nye ndị mba ọzọ, ka ị nwee ike weruo nzọpụta nʼebe niile ụwa sọtụrụ.’”
For so hath the Lord commanded us, [saying], I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles, That thou shouldest be for salvation unto the uttermost part of the earth.
48 Mgbe ndị mba ọzọ nụrụ ihe ndị a, obi tọrọ ha ụtọ, ha sọpụkwara okwu nke Onyenwe anyị. Ya mere ndị niile a họpụtara inweta ndụ ebighị ebi bụ ndị kwenyerenụ. (aiōnios g166)
And as the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)
49 Ya mere okwu Onyenwe anyị gbasara ruo ebe niile nʼobodo ahụ.
And the word of the Lord was spread abroad throughout all the region.
50 Mgbe ahụ, ndị Juu kpaliri obi ọtụtụ ụmụ nwanyị na-atụ egwu Chineke ndị ọnọdụ ha dị elu, na ndị ikom ndị nke ndu obodo ahụ. Ha kpasuru mkpagbu megide Pọl na Banabas si otu a, chụpụ ha site nʼobodo ahụ.
But the Jews urged on the devout women of honorable estate, and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their borders.
51 Ha tichapụrụ aja dị nʼụkwụ ha ka ọ bụrụ ihe ịdọ aka na ntị mmegide ha. Ha hapụrụ obodo ahụ gaa Aikoniọm.
But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.
52 Ma ndị na-eso ụzọ ya jupụtakwara nʼọṅụ na nʼike nke Mmụọ Nsọ.
And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
