Ọrụ Ndị Ozi 16
1 Pọl bịaruru Debi na Listra, ebe otu onye na-eso ụzọ Jisọs a na-akpọ Timoti bi. Nne ya bụ onye Juu bụrụkwa onye kwere ekwe, ma nna ya bụ onye Griik.
And he came to Derbe and Lystra: and behold, a certain disciple was there, by name Timotheus, son of a Jewish believing woman, but [the] father a Greek,
2 Ụmụnna ndị bi na Listra na Aikoniọm gbara ezi ama banyere ya.
who had a [good] testimony of the brethren in Lystra and Iconium.
3 Pọl chọrọ ka Timoti soro ya nʼije ya. Ma nʼihi ndị Juu bi nʼakụkụ ebe ahụ, o biri ya ugwu nʼihi na mmadụ niile maara na nna ya bụ onye Griik.
Him would Paul have go forth with him, and took [him and] circumcised him on account of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew his father that he was a Greek.
4 Dịka ha na-eme njem site nʼobodo ruo nʼobodo, ha na-akọwara ha ihe banyere mkpebi ndị ozi na ndị okenye kpebiri na Jerusalem ka ha nwe ike idebe ha.
And as they passed through the cities they instructed them to observe the decrees determined on by the apostles and elders who were in Jerusalem.
5 Ihe ndị a niile mere ka nzukọ sie ike nʼokwukwe ma baakwa ụba nʼọnụọgụgụ kwa ụbọchị.
The assemblies therefore were confirmed in the faith, and increased in number every day.
6 Ha gara mpaghara Frigia na Galeshịa. Ma Mmụọ Nsọ ekweghị ka ha kwusaa oziọma nʼakụkụ Eshịa nʼoge ahụ.
And having passed through Phrygia and the Galatian country, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia,
7 Mgbe ha ruru nʼakụkụ obodo Misia, ha chere ihu ịbanye nʼakụkụ obodo Bitinia. Ma Mmụọ Nsọ nke Jisọs akwagideghị ka ha gaa.
having come down to Mysia, they attempted to go to Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them;
8 Ka ha si nʼakụkụ Misia gafee, ha batara Troas.
and having passed by Mysia they descended to Troas.
9 Nʼabalị ahụ, Pọl hụrụ ọhụ ebe ọ hụrụ otu nwoke onye Masidonia ka o guzo na-arịọ ya sị, “Bịa na Masidonia nyere anyị aka.”
And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: There was a certain Macedonian man, standing and beseeching him, and saying, Pass over into Macedonia and help us.
10 Mgbe ọ hụchara nke a, anyị jikeere ngwangwa ịga Masidonia ebe anyị mara na Chineke akpọọla anyị ịgbasara ha oziọma.
And when he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go forth to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to announce to them the glad tidings.
11 Anyị banyere ụgbọ mmiri na Troas sị ya gafee Samotres. Nʼechi ya, anyị bịaruru Niapolis.
Having sailed therefore away from Troas, we went in a straight course to Samothracia, and on the morrow to Neapolis,
12 Site nʼebe ahụ anyị jeruru Filipai nke bụ isi obodo dị nʼakụkụ mpaghara Masidonia bụrụkwa otu akụkụ nʼebe ndị Rom na-achị. Anyị nọdụrụ nʼime obodo a ọtụtụ ụbọchị.
and thence to Philippi, which is [the] first city of that part of Macedonia, a colony. And we were staying in that city certain days.
13 Nʼụbọchị izuike, anyị sitere nʼobodo ahụ gaa nʼakụkụ osimiri ebe anyị chọpụtara na ụlọ ekpere dị. Nʼebe a ka anyị nọ gwa ụmụ nwanyị ndị gbakọrọnụ okwu.
And on the sabbath day we went outside the gate by the river, where it was the custom for prayer to be, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had assembled.
14 Aha otu nʼime ndị inyom nụrụ okwu anyị bụ Lidia, onye obodo Tiatira, onye na-azụ ahịa akwa e sijiri odo odo. Ọ bụkwa nwanyị na-asọpụrụ Chineke. Onyenwe anyị meghere obi ya, ige ntị nʼihe Pọl na-ekwu.
And a certain woman, by name Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, who worshipped God, heard; whose heart the Lord opened to attend to the things spoken by Paul.
15 Ka e mesịrị ya na ezinaụlọ ya baptizim, ọ rịọrọ anyị na-asị, “Ọ bụrụ nʼezie na unu gụrụ m dịka onye kwesiri ntụkwasị obi nye Onyenwe anyị, batanụ nʼụlọ m nọrọ.” Mgbe ọ kwagidesịrị anyị ike, anyị sooro ya.
And when she had been baptised and her house, she besought [us], saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and abide [there]. And she constrained us.
16 Otu ụbọchị, mgbe anyị na-aga nʼụlọ ekpere, anyị zutere otu nwaagbọghọ bụ ohu, onye nwere mmụọ ịgba afa. Ọ na-ewetara ndị nwe ya ezigbo ego site nʼịgba afa.
And it came to pass as we were going to prayer that a certain female slave, having a spirit of Python, met us, who brought much profit to her masters by prophesying.
17 Ma o sogidere anyị na Pọl ebe ọbụla anyị na-aga, na-eti mkpu na-asị, “Ndị a bụ ndị ohu Chineke Onye kachasị ihe niile elu. Ha bịara ikwupụtara unu ihe banyere ụzọ nzọpụta.”
She, having followed Paul and us, cried saying, These men are bondmen of the Most High God, who announce to you [the] way of salvation.
18 O mere nke a ọtụtụ ụbọchị. Ma site nʼoke iwe, Pọl baara mmụọ ọjọọ ahụ bi nʼime ya mba sị, “Eji m aha Jisọs Kraịst na-enye gị iwu sị gị site nʼime ya pụta!” Otu mgbe ahụ o siri nʼime ya pụta.
And this she did many days. And Paul, being distressed, turned, and said to the spirit, I enjoin thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And it came out the same hour.
19 Mgbe ndị nwe ya hụrụ nʼolileanya ha iji inweta ego akwụsịla, ha jidere Pọl na Saịlas dọkpụrụ ha jekwuru ndịisi obodo nʼọma ahịa.
And her masters, seeing that the hope of their gains was gone, having seized Paul and Silas, dragged [them] into the market before the magistrates;
20 Mgbe ha dutara ha nʼihu ndị na-ekpe ikpe ha sịrị, “Ndị ikom a bụ ndị Juu ma ha etinyela ọgbaaghara nʼobodo anyị,
and having brought them up to the praetors, said, These men utterly trouble our city, being Jews,
21 site nʼikuzi omenaala megidere iwu anyị, nke anyị bụ ndị Rom na-enweghị ike ịnabata maọbụ mee.”
and announce customs which it is not lawful for us to receive nor practise, being Romans.
22 Igwe mmadụ sonyere imegide ha. Ndị ikpe nyere iwu ka a dọwaa uwe, pịakwa ha ihe.
And the crowd rose up too against them; and the praetors, having torn off their clothes, commanded to scourge [them].
23 Mgbe ha pịachara ha ihe nke ọma, a tụnyere ha nʼime ụlọ mkpọrọ, nyekwa onye nche iwu ka o chee ha nke ọma.
And having laid many stripes upon them they cast [them] into prison, charging the jailor to keep them safely;
24 Nʼihi nke a, o tinyere ha nʼime ime ụlọ mkpọrọ, ebe o jiri ọtọsị kegide ha nʼụkwụ.
who, having received such a charge, cast them into the inner prison, and secured their feet to the stocks.
25 Nʼetiti abalị, mgbe Pọl na Saịlas na-ekpe ekpere na-abụkwa abụ ito Chineke, ndị niile nọ nʼụlọ mkpọrọ ahụ na-ege ha ntị.
And at midnight Paul and Silas, in praying, were praising God with singing, and the prisoners listened to them.
26 Na mberede, oke ala ọma jijiji bidoro, nke mere ka ntọala ụlọ mkpọrọ ahụ maa jijiji. Ngwangwa, ọnụ ụzọ ya niile meghere, ụdọ igwe niile e jiri kee ndị mkpọrọ tọpụkwara.
And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison shook, and all the doors were immediately opened, and the bonds of all loosed.
27 Mgbe onyeisi nche ụlọ mkpọrọ tetara nʼụra ma hụ na ọnụ ụzọ niile ghere oghe. Nʼihi ya, o chere na ndị mkpọrọ niile agbapụla. Ya mere, ọ mịpụtara mma agha ya chọọ igbu onwe ya.
And the jailor being awakened out of his sleep, and seeing the doors of the prison opened, having drawn a sword was going to kill himself, thinking the prisoners had fled.
28 Ma Pọl tiri mkpu nʼoke olu, sị, “Emerula onwe gị ahụ. Anyị niile nọ nʼebe a!”
But Paul called out with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm, for we are all here.
29 Onyeisi nche ahụ kpọrọ ka eweta ọkụ, ọ gbabara nʼime, daa nʼụkwụ Pọl na Saịlas na-ama jijiji.
And having asked for lights, he rushed in, and, trembling, fell down before Paul and Silas.
30 Ọ kpọpụtara ha nʼezi sị, “Ndị nwe m, gịnị ka m ga-eme ka a zọpụta m?”
And leading them out said, Sirs, what must I do that I may be saved?
31 Ha sịrị, “Kwere nʼOnyenwe anyị Jisọs, a ga-azọpụta gị na ezinaụlọ gị niile.”
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved, thou and thy house.
32 Mgbe ahụ, ha gwara ya na ndị niile nọ nʼezinaụlọ ya okwu nke Onyenwe anyị.
And they spoke to him the word of the Lord, with all that were in his house.
33 Nʼotu elekere ahụ, nʼabalị ahụ, ọ sachara ọnya ha. Nʼatụfughị oge, ha mere ya na ezinaụlọ ya baptizim.
And he took them the same hour of the night and washed [them] from their stripes; and was baptised, he and all his straightway.
34 Ọ kpọbatara ha nʼụlọ ya, nye ha ihe oriri. Ya onwe ya na ezinaụlọ ya ṅụrịrị ọṅụ nʼihi na o kwerela na Chineke.
And having brought them into his house he laid the table [for them], and rejoiced with all his house, having believed in God.
35 Nʼechi ya, ndị ikpe ahụ zitere ndị uweojii sị, “Hapụnụ ụmụ nwoke ahụ ka ha laa.”
And when it was day, the praetors sent the lictors, saying, Let those men go.
36 Onyeisi ụlọ mkpọrọ ahụ gwara Pọl, sị, “na ndị ikpe zitere ozi sị ha laa. Ugbu a pụtanụ. Unu laanụ nʼudo.”
And the jailor reported these words to Paul: The praetors have sent that ye may be let go. Now therefore go out and depart in peace.
37 Ma Pọl sịrị ha, “Ha tiri anyị ihe nʼihu mmadụ niile na-ebughị ụzọ kpee anyị ikpe. Emesịa ha tinyere anyị nʼụlọ mkpọrọ. Anyị bụ diala nʼobodo Rom! Olee otu ha ga-esi zipụ anyị na nzuzo. O kwesiri ka ha bịa nʼonwe ha kpọpụta anyị.”
But Paul said to them, Having beaten us publicly uncondemned, us who are Romans, they have cast us into prison, and now they thrust us out secretly? no, indeed, but let them come themselves and bring us out.
38 Ndị uweojii ahụ gara gwa ndị ikpe ahụ ihe ha kwuru. Mgbe ha nụrụ na ha bụ diala na Rom, ha tụrụ egwu nke ukwuu.
And the lictors reported these words to the praetors. And they were afraid when they heard they were Romans.
39 Ha bịakwutere ha rịọsie ha arịrịọ ike. Ha kpọpụtakwara ha, rịọ ha ka ha hapụ obodo ahụ.
And they came and besought them, and having brought them out, asked them to go out of the city.
40 Mgbe ha sitere nʼụlọ mkpọrọ pụta, ha gara nʼụlọ Lidia. Nʼebe ahụ ka ha zutere ụmụnna, gwa ha okwu mgbamume, emesịa ha si nʼobodo ahụ pụọ.
And having gone out of the prison, they came to Lydia; and having seen the brethren, they exhorted them and went away.
