Ọrụ Ndị Ozi 3
1 Otu ụbọchị Pita na Jọn na-aga nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ikpe ekpere nʼoge ekpere nʼelekere atọ nke ehihie.
NOW at that time Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth;
2 Ma otu nwoke dara ngwụrọ site nʼafọ nne ya ka a na-ebute nʼọnụ ụzọ ama nke ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ ụbọchị niile ka ọ na-arịọ ndị na-aba nʼime ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ arịrịọ. Aha ọnụ ụzọ ama ahụ bụ ọnụ ụzọ ama ọma.
when a certain man who was lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple called Beautiful, to ask alms of those who were entering into the temple;
3 Mgbe ọ hụrụ Pita na Jọn ka ha na-achọ ịba nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, o bidoro ịrịọ ha arịrịọ.
who seeing Peter and John just going into the temple, asked to receive alms.
4 Ma Pita na Jọn legidere ya anya, Pita sịrị, “Lee anyị anya.”
Then Peter fixing his eves stedfastly on him with John, said, Look on us.
5 O legidere ha anya chee na ha ga-enye ya onyinye.
So he attentively regarded them, expecting to receive something from them.
6 Ma Pita sịrị, “Enweghị m ọlaọcha maọbụ ọlaedo ma ihe m nwere ka m na-enye gị. Nʼaha Jisọs Kraịst onye Nazaret bilie ọtọ gawa ije.”
Then said Peter, I have neither silver nor gold; but what I have, that I give thee: By the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarean, arise, and walk!
7 O jidere ya aka nʼaka nri ya, nyere ya aka selite ya elu, ngwangwa, ụkwụ ya na nkwonkwo nke akwara ụkwụ ya nwetara ike.
And taking him by the right hand, he raised him up: and immediately his feet and ancles were restored to strength.
8 Ọ wụliri elu nʼụkwụ ya, bido ịga ije. O soro ha baa nʼụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, ya na-aga, ya ana-awụlị elu, na-etokwa Chineke.
And springing up he stood on his feet, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9 Mmadụ niile hụrụ ya ka ọ na-agagharị na-eto Chineke,
And all the people beheld him walking and praising God:
10 ha ghọtara na ọ bụ ya bụ onye ahụ na-anọ nʼọnụ ụzọ ama ụlọnsọ ukwu ahụ, nke a na-akpọ ọnụ ụzọ ama ọma na-arịọ arịrịọ. Ọ gbagwojuru ha anya nke ukwuu, gbakwa ha gharịị ihe mere ya.
and they took notice of him, that it was the same person who had sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with astonishment and amazed at what had happened to him.
11 Ma dị ka o jidere Pita na Jọn aka, ndị mmadụ niile jiri mgbagwoju anya gbara ọsọ bịakwute ha nʼakụkụ ụlọnsọ ahụ ebe a na-akpọ mgbe ụlọ Solomọn.
But as the lame man that was cured held fast Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them into the portico called Solomon’s, in vast amazement.
12 Mgbe Pita hụrụ nke a, ọ gwara igwe mmadụ ahụ, “Ndị Izrel, gịnị mere ihe a ji eju unu anya? Gịnị mere unu ji ele anyị anya dịka a ga-asị na ọ bụ site nʼike nke anyị maọbụ nʼịdị nsọ anyị ka anyị jiri mee ka nwoke a gawa ije?
Then Peter observing it, addressed himself to the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why gaze ye upon us, as if by our own power or piety we had enabled this man to walk?
13 Chineke nke Ebraham, nke Aịzik na nke Jekọb, Chineke nke nna anyị ha, ebuliela onye na-ejere ya ozi, bụ Jisọs elu, onye unu nyefere ka e gbuo, ma gọnarịkwa ya nʼihu Pailet, nʼagbanyeghị na o kpebiri ịhapụ ya ka ọ laa.
The God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he had determined to release him.
14 Unu gọnarịrị onye ahụ dị nsọ bụrụkwa onye ezi omume, ma rịọ ka a hapụrụ unu ogbu mmadụ.
But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and besought that a man, a murderer, might as a favour be given unto you;
15 Unu gburu onye ahụ na-enye ndụ, ma Chineke akpọlitela ya site nʼọnwụ. Anyị bụ ndị akaebe ihe ndị a.
but ye slew the Author of life, whom God raised from the dead: of which we are witnesses.
16 Ọ bụ site nʼokwukwe nʼaha ya, ọ bụ aha ya naanị mere nwoke a ka ọ dị ike onye nke unu na-ahụ ma marakwa. Okwukwe nʼime Jisọs mere ka ahụ ya zuo oke nʼihu unu niile.
And through faith in his name hath his name restored this man to strength, whom ye behold and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the sight of you all.
17 “Ugbu a ụmụnna m, amaara m na unu kpara agwa na-amaghị ama, dịka ndị ndu unu sikwara kpaa.
And now, brethren, I know that through ignorance ye did this deed, as did also your rulers.
18 Ma Chineke siri otu a mezuo ihe o kwuru site nʼọnụ ndị amụma niile na Kraịst ya aghaghị ịhụ ahụhụ.
But the things which God before announced by the mouth of all his prophets, that Messiah should suffer, he hath thus fulfilled.
19 Ya mere, chegharịanụ ugbu a ma lọghachikwutekwanụ Chineke, ka e nwee ike ihichapụ mmehie unu,
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when refreshing seasons shall come from the presence of the Lord;
20 ka enyekwa unu ntute nke ime mmụọ nke sitere nʼihu Onyenwe anyị, ma zitekwara unu Kraịst ahụ, bụ onye ahọpụtara nye unu, nke bụ Jisọs.
and he will send Jesus Christ, who was before preached unto you:
21 Onye eluigwe na-aghaghị ịnabata tutu ruo oge ahụ Chineke ga-eweghachi ihe niile nʼọnọdụ ha, dịka o kwere na nkwa nʼogologo oge gara aga site nʼọnụ ndị amụma ya dị nsọ. (aiōn g165)
whom the heaven indeed must receive, until the times of restoration of all things, which God hath spoken of by the mouth of all his holy prophets from the beginning of the world. (aiōn g165)
22 Mosis sịrị, ‘Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke ga-eme ka onye amụma ga-adị ka m biliere unu site nʼetiti ụmụ nne unu, unu aghaghị ige ntị nʼihe niile ọ ga-agwa unu.
For Moses truly said unto the fathers, “A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you from among your brethren, like myself; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall speak to you.
23 Onye ọbụla jụrụ ige onye amụma ahụ ntị, ka a ga-ekewapụ kpamkpam site nʼetiti ndị ya ma bibiekwa ya.’
But it shall come to pass, that every soul which will not hearken to that prophet, shall be utterly exterminated from amidst the people.”
24 “Nʼezie ndị amụma niile site na Samuel na ndị ọzọ so ya nʼazụ, bukwara amụma banyere ụbọchị ndị a.
And all the prophets indeed from Samuel, and those who succeeded him, as many as have spoken, have also foretold those days.
25 Ma unu bụ ndị nketa nke ndị amụma, nakwa nke ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ Chineke na nna nna unu gbara, mgbe ọ gwara Ebraham, ‘Site na mkpụrụ gị ka a ga-agọzi mba niile nke ụwa.’
Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And “in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.”
26 Mgbe Chineke kpọlitere onyeozi ya, o buuru ụzọ zitere unu ya, ka ọ gọzie unu site nʼime ka onye ọbụla nʼime unu chegharịa site nʼụzọ ọjọọ ya.”
Unto you in the first instance, hath God, after raising up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, to the end that every one of you should turn away from your iniquities.
