Ọrụ Ndị Ozi 14
1 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.
It came about in Iconium that Paul and Barnabas entered together into the synagogue of the Jews and spoke in such a way that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed.
2 Ndị Juu, ndị na-anabataghị okwu ahụ, kpaliri ndị mba ọzọ mee ka mkpụrụobi ha jọọ njọ megide ụmụnna.
But the Jews who were disobedient stirred up the minds of the Gentiles and made them bitter against the brothers.
3 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.
So they stayed there for a long time, speaking boldly with the Lord's power, while he gave evidence about the message of his grace. He did this by granting signs and wonders to be done by the hands of Paul and Barnabas.
4 Ma ndị obodo ahụ kewara abụọ, ụfọdụ nʼime ha dịnyere ndị Juu. Ụfọdụ dịnyekwara ndị ozi.
But the majority of the city was divided: some people sided with the Jews, and some with the apostles.
5 Mgbe ndị mba ọzọ, na ndị Juu, ha na ndị ndu ha, gbara izu ime ha ihe ihere, tụọkwa ha nkume.
When both Gentiles and Jews attempted to persuade their leaders to mistreat and stone Paul and Barnabas,
6 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.
they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the surrounding region,
7 Nʼebe ahụ, ha gara nʼihu na-ekwusakwa oziọma ahụ.
and there they were proclaiming the gospel.
8 Nʼobodo Listra, o nwere otu nwoke dara ngwụrọ site nʼoge a mụrụ ya. Nwoke a ejibeghị ụkwụ ya abụọ gaa ije mgbe ọbụla.
At Lystra a certain man sat, powerless in his feet, a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked.
9 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,
This man heard Paul speaking. Paul fixed his eyes on him and saw that he had faith to be made well.
10 were oke olu sị, “Guzoro nʼụkwụ gị abụọ.” Nwoke ahụ wuliri elu malite ịga ije.
So he said to him in a loud voice, “Stand up on your feet.” Then the man jumped up and walked around.
11 Mgbe igwe mmadụ ahụ hụrụ ihe Pọl mere, ha tiri mkpu nʼasụsụ Laikonia sị, “Ndị a bụ chi bịakwutere anyị nʼụdịdị mmadụ.”
When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they raised their voice, saying in the dialect of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us in the form of men.”
12 Banabas ka ha kpọrọ Zeus ma kpọkwa Pọl Hamis nʼihi na ọ bụ ya bụ onye ọka okwu.
They called Barnabas “Zeus,” and Paul, “Hermes,” because he was the main speaker.
13 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.
The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought oxen and wreaths to the gates; he and the multitudes wanted to offer sacrifice.
14 Mgbe ndị ozi ahụ, Banabas na Pọl nụrụ ihe ndị a, ha dọwara uwe ha, gbara ọsọ jekwuru igwe mmadụ ahụ na-eti mkpu,
But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothing and quickly went out into the crowd, crying out
15 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.
and saying, “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are human beings with the same feelings as you. We bring you good news, that you should turn from these useless things to a living God, who made the heavens, the earth, and the sea and everything that is in them.
16 Nʼoge gara aga, ọ hapụrụ mba niile ka ha na-eme ihe masịrị ha.
In the past ages, he allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.
17 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.”
But still, he did not leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you the rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.”
18 Nʼagbanyeghị okwu ndị a, ọ rara ha ahụ igbochi igwe mmadụ ahụ ịchụrụ ha aja.
Even with these words, Paul and Barnabas barely kept the multitudes from sacrificing to them.
19 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.
But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came and persuaded the crowds. They stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, thinking that he was dead.
20 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.
Yet as the disciples were standing around him, he got up and entered the city. The next day, he went to Derbe with Barnabas.
21 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.
After they had proclaimed the gospel in that city and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, to Iconium, and to Antioch.
22 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.”
They kept strengthening the souls of the disciples and encouraging them to continue in the faith, saying, “We must enter into the kingdom of God through many sufferings.”
23 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.
When they had appointed for them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they entrusted them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.
24 Ha sitere nʼakụkụ Pisidia garuo Pamfilia.
Then they passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.
25 Mgbe ha zisachara oziọma nʼobodo Pega, ha gbadara gaa Atalia.
When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
26 Site nʼebe ahụ, ha sooro ụgbọ mmiri jeruo Antiọk bụ ebe a nọ nyefee ha nʼamara Chineke nʼihi ọrụ ndị a ha rụzuru.
From there they sailed to Antioch, where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had now completed.
27 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.
When they arrived in Antioch and gathered the church together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and how he had opened a door of faith for the Gentiles.
28 Ha na ndị na-eso ụzọ nọgidere nʼebe ahụ ruo oge dị anya.
They stayed for a long time with the disciples.
