Ọrụ Ndị Ozi 15
1 Ụfọdụ ndị ikom sitere Judịa bịa malitere izi ụmụnna ozi, “Ọ bụrụ na e bighị unu ugwu dịka Mosis nyere nʼiwu, a pụghị ịzọpụta unu.”
And certain men who came down from Judea, taught the brethren, [and said], Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
2 Ha na Pọl na Banabas rụrịtara ụka nke ukwuu. Nʼihi nke a, ha kpebiri ka Pọl na Banabas, na ụfọdụ ndịisi ndị ọzọ soro gaa Jerusalem hụ ndị ozi na ndị okenye nke nzukọ maka okwu a.
When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, should go to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
3 Nzukọ ahụ zipụrụ ha nʼụzọ ha, mgbe ha sitere Fonisia na Sameria na-agafe, ha kọrọ otu ndị mba ọzọ siri chegharịa. Nke a wetara ndị niile kwere ekwe oke ọṅụ dị ukwuu.
And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice, and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy to all the brethren.
4 Mgbe ha bịaruru Jerusalem, nzukọ, ndị ozi na ndị okenye nabatara ha, ha kọkwara ha ihe niile Chineke sitere nʼaka ha mee.
And when they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and by the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had done with them.
5 Ma ụfọdụ ndị kwere ekwe si nʼotu ndị Farisii biliri na-ekwu sị, “Na ọ dị mkpa ka e bie ha ugwu ma gwakwa ha ka ha dobe iwu Mosis.”
But there rose certain of the sect of the Pharisees, who believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command [them] to keep the law of Moses.
6 Mgbe ahụ, ndị ozi na ndị okenye zukọtara itule okwu a.
And the apostles and elders came together to consider of this matter.
7 Mgbe ha nọ tulegide okwu ahụ ruo oge dị anya, Pita guzoro ọtọ sị ha, “Ụmụnna m, unu niile maara na site na mbụ Chineke họpụtara m site nʼetiti unu, ka m zisaa oziọma ahụ nye ndị mba ọzọ ka ha nụrụ, ma kwerekwa.
And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose and said to them, Men, brethren, ye know that a good while ago, God made choice among us, that the Gentiles, by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
8 Chineke a, onye maara obi mmadụ niile gbaara ha akaebe site nʼinye ha onyinye Mmụọ Nsọ dịka anyị si nata ya na mbụ.
And God, who knoweth the hearts, bore them witness, giving to them the Holy Spirit, even as [he did] to us:
9 O gosighị na o nwere ihe dị iche nʼetiti anyị na ha. Nʼihi na o mere ka obi ha dị ọcha site nʼokwukwe.
And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
10 Ugbu a, gịnị mere unu ji anwa Chineke ọnwụnwa site na-itinye nʼolu ndị na-eso ụzọ ya ibu arọ nke anyị maọbụ nna nna anyị ha na-enweghị ike ịdọkpụ?
Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11 Mba, anyị kwenyere na ọ bụ site nʼamara nke Onyenwe anyị Jisọs ka a ga-eji zọpụta anyị, dịka a ga-esi zọpụtakwa ha.”
But we believe, that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we shall be saved even as they.
12 Mmadụ niile nọdụrụ nwayọọ, ha bidoro ige ntị nʼakụkọ Banabas na Pọl na-akọrọ ha banyere ihe ịrịbama niile na ọrụ ebube niile Chineke jiri ha rụọ nʼetiti ndị mba ọzọ.
Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought by them among the Gentiles.
13 Mgbe ha kwusiri okwu ndị a, Jemis sịrị, “Ụmụnna m geenụ ntị.
And after they held their peace, James answered, saying, Men, brethren, hearken to me.
14 Saimọn akọọlara anyị otu Chineke si buru ụzọ lekọta ndị mba ọzọ site na isite nʼetiti ha họpụtara onwe ya ndị ga-ekwere na aha ya.
Simeon hath declared how God at the first visited the Gentiles to take from among them a people for his name.
15 Nke a na okwu ndị amụma dakọtara, dịka e dere ya,
And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
16 “‘Mgbe nke a gasịrị, aga m alọghachi, aga m ewughachikwa ụlọ ikwu Devid nke dara ada. Ebe ya niile dakpọsịrị adakpọsị ka m ga-ewugharịkwa, aga m emekwa ka ọ guzozie,
After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins of it; and I will set it up:
17 ka ndị fọdụrụ nʼetiti mmadụ nwe ike chọọ Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụladị ndị mba ọzọ niile ndị a kpọkwasịrị aha m, ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, onye na-emekwa ihe ndị a.’
That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.
Known to God are all his works from the beginning of the world. (aiōn g165)
19 “Nʼihi nke a, mkpebi ikpe m bụ nke a, ka anyị ghara isogbu ndị mba ọzọ lọghachikwutere Chineke,
Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, who from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
20 kama o kwesiri ka anyị degara ha akwụkwọ gwa ha sị ha hapụ iri nri ọbụla e ji chụọrọ arụsị aja. Ka ha wezugakwa onwe ha site na mmehie ịkwa iko, ya na iri anụ a nyagburu anyagbu, maọbụ ọbara.
But that we write to them that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and [from] lewdness, and [from] things strangled, and [from] blood.
21 Site na mbụ, Mosis nwere ndị na-ekwusa iwu nʼobodo niile. A na-agụkwa ya nʼụlọ nzukọ nʼụbọchị izuike niile.”
For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath.
22 Mgbe ahụ, ndị ozi na ndị okenye, ha na nzukọ niile, kpebiri ka a họpụta ndị ikom a ga-eziga Antiọk ha na Pọl na Banabas. Ha họpụtara Judas onye a na-akpọkwa Basabas, na Saịlas, ndị ndu so nʼetiti ụmụnna.
Then it pleased the apostles and elders, with the whole church, to send chosen men of their own company to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas; [namely], Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren:
23 Ha nyekwara ha nʼakwụkwọ ozi dị otu a, Akwụkwọ a sitere nʼaka ndị ozi, na ndị okenye ndị bụ ụmụnna unu. A na-edetara ya unu ndị sitere na mba ọzọ kwere bụ ndị nọ nʼAntiọk, Siria na Silisia. Ekele.
And they wrote [letters] by them after this manner; The apostles, and elders, and brethren, [send] greeting to the brethren who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia.
24 E mere ka anyị mata na ụfọdụ ndị otu anyị ebuterela unu nsogbu na ọgbaaghara, mee ka obi lọọ unu mmiri, na-emebi mkpụrụobi unu. Ma nʼezie, ha anataghị ike nʼaka anyị ime nke a.
Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain who went out from us, have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, [Ye must] be circumcised, and keep the law; to whom we gave no [such] commandment:
25 Nʼihi nke a, anyị zukọrọ, sitekwa nʼotu obi kpebie ịhọpụta ụfọdụ ndị ikom na izitere unu ha, ha na ndị anyị hụrụ nʼanya, bụ Pọl na Banabas,
It seemed good to us, being assembled with one accord, to send chosen men to you, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul:
26 ndị ikom werela ndụ ha tụnye nʼaha Onyenwe anyị Jisọs Kraịst.
Men that have hazarded their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Ya mere, anyị na-ezite Judas na Saịlas ndị ga-akọwara unu nʼihu nʼihu, ihe anyị dere nʼakwụkwọ a.
We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who will also tell [you] the same things by mouth.
28 Nʼihi na ọ bụ ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Mmụọ Nsọ na nʼanya anyị kwa, na o kwesighị ka anyị bokwasị unu ibu arọ karịa ihe ndị a dị mkpa.
For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
29 Ma o kwesiri ka unu hapụ iri ihe ọbụla e jiri chụọ aja nye arụsị, ya na iri anụ ọbụla a nyagburu anyagbu, maọbụ ọbara. Kewapụkwanụ onwe unu site nʼịkwa iko. Ọ bụrụ na unu eme ihe ndị a, unu mere nke ọma. Nọọnụ nke ọma.
That ye abstain from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from lewdness: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye will do well. Fare ye well.
30 Ya mere, e zipụrụ ha, ha jeruokwa Antiọk. Mgbe ha kpọkọrọ nzukọ ahụ, ha nyere ha akwụkwọ ozi ahụ.
So when they were dismissed, they came to Antioch: and when they had convened the multitude, they delivered the epistle.
31 Mgbe ndị otu ọgbakọ ahụ gụsịrị ya, ha ṅụrịrị ọṅụ nke ukwuu nʼihi agbamume ha natara.
[Which] when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
32 Judas na Saịlas, ndị ha onwe ha bụ ndị amụma, kwuru ọtụtụ okwu, iji gbaa ha ume na ime ka okwukwe ndị kwere ekwe guzosie ike.
And Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and confirmed [them].
33 Mgbe ha nọnyesịrị ha nwa oge nta, ndị kwere ekwe ji ngọzị nke udo zilaga ha ka ha laghachikwuru ndị zitere ha.
And after they had tarried [there] a time, they were dismissed in peace from the brethren to the apostles.
34 Ma ọ masịrị Saịlas ịnọtukwu nʼebe ahụ.
Notwithstanding, it pleased Silas to abide there still.
35 Pọl na Banabas nọgidere nʼAntiọk, ebe ha na ndị ọzọ kuziri ihe ma kwusakwa okwu Onyenwe anyị.
Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also.
36 Mgbe ụbọchị ole na ole gasịrị, Pọl gwara Banabas, “Ka anyị gaghachi nʼobodo niile anyị kwusara okwu Onyenwe anyị nʼotu nʼotu, mata ka ndị kwere ekwe si agbalị nʼebe ahụ.”
And some days after, Paul said to Barnabas, Let us go again and visit our brethren, in every city where we have preached the word of the Lord, [and see] how they do.
37 Banabas chọrọ ka ha na Jọn onye a na-akpọ Mak soro gaa.
And Barnabas determined to take with them John, whose surname was Mark.
38 Ma Pọl echeghị na o ziri ezi iduru ya nʼihi na ọ hapụrụ ha na Pamfilia. O sokwaghị ha jezuo ozi ha.
But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
39 Ịrụ ụka dapụtara nʼetiti ha siri ike nke mere na ha kewara. Banabas kpọrọ Jọn Mak banye nʼụgbọ gawa Saiprọs.
And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed, separating one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed to Cyprus.
40 Ma Pọl họọrọ Saịlas, kpọrọ ya gawa njem, mgbe ụmụnna kpesịrị ha ekpere raara ha nye nʼamara Onyenwe anyị.
And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being commended by the brethren to the grace of God.
41 O jegharịrị nʼime obodo Siria na Silisia na-agba nzukọ nọ nʼebe ahụ ume.
And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches.
