< Acts 11 >

1 Àwọn aposteli àti àwọn arákùnrin ti ó wà ni Judea sì gbọ́ pé àwọn aláìkọlà pẹ̀lú ti gba ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run.
Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.
2 Nígbà tí Peteru sì gòkè wá sí Jerusalẹmu, àwọn ti ìkọlà ń bá a wíjọ́
When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,
3 wí pé, “Ìwọ wọlé tọ àwọn ènìyàn aláìkọlà lọ, ó sì bá wọn jẹun.”
saying, “You went in to uncircumcised men and ate with them!”
4 Ṣùgbọ́n Peteru bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí là á yé wọn lẹ́sẹẹsẹ, wí pé,
But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,
5 “Èmi wà ni ìlú Joppa, mo ń gbàdúrà, mo rí ìran kan lójúran. Ohun èlò kan sọ̀kalẹ̀ bí ewé tákàdá ńlá, tí a ti igun mẹ́rẹ̀ẹ̀rin rẹ̀ sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti ọ̀run wá; ó sì wá títí de ọ̀dọ̀ mi.
“I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.
6 Mo tẹjúmọ́ ọn, mo sì fiyèsí i, mo sí rí ẹran ẹlẹ́sẹ̀ mẹ́rin, àti ẹranko igbó, àti ohun tí ń rákò, àti ẹyẹ ojú ọ̀run.
When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky.
7 Mo sì gbọ́ ohùn kan ti ó fọ̀ sí mi pé, ‘Dìde, Peteru: máa pa, kí ó sì máa jẹ.’
I also heard a voice saying to me, ‘Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’
8 “Ṣùgbọ́n mo dáhùn wí pé, ‘Rara Olúwa! Nítorí ohun èèwọ̀ tàbí ohun aláìmọ́ kan kò wọ ẹnu mi rí láéláé.’
But I said, ‘Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’
9 “Ṣùgbọ́n ohùn kan dáhùn nígbà ẹ̀ẹ̀kejì láti ọ̀run wá pé, ‘Ohun tí Ọlọ́run bá ti wẹ̀mọ́, kí ìwọ má ṣe pè é ní àìmọ́.’
But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven, ‘What God has cleansed, don’t you call unclean.’
10 Èyí sì ṣẹlẹ̀ nígbà mẹ́ta; a sì tún fa gbogbo rẹ̀ sókè ọ̀run.
This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.
11 “Sì wò ó, lójúkan náà ọkùnrin mẹ́ta dúró níwájú ilé ti a gbé wà, ti a rán láti Kesarea sí mi.
Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
12 Ẹ̀mí sì wí fún mi pé, kí èmi bá wọn lọ, ki èmi má ṣe kọminú ohunkóhun. Àwọn arákùnrin mẹ́fà wọ̀nyí sì bá mi lọ, a sì wọ ilé ọkùnrin náà.
The Spirit told me to go with them without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house.
13 Ó sì sọ fún wa bí òun ti rí angẹli kan tí ó dúró ní ilé rẹ̀, tí ó sì wí pé, ‘Ránṣẹ́ lọ sí Joppa, kí ó sì pe Simoni tí àpèlé rẹ̀ jẹ́ Peteru;
He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house and saying to him, ‘Send to Joppa and get Simon, who is called Peter,
14 ẹni tí yóò sọ ọ̀rọ̀ fún ọ, nípa èyí tí a ó fi gba ìwọ àti gbogbo ilé rẹ là.’
who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’
15 “Bí mo sì ti bẹ̀rẹ̀ sì sọ, Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ sì bà lé wọn, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti bà lé wa ni àtètèkọ́ṣe.
As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.
16 Nígbà náà ni mo rántí ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa, bí ó ti wí pé, ‘Johanu fi omi bamitiisi nítòótọ́; ṣùgbọ́n a ó fi Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ bamitiisi yín.’
I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, ‘John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.’
17 Ǹjẹ́ bí Ọlọ́run sì ti fi irú ẹ̀bùn kan náà fún wọn bí ó ti fi fún àwa pẹ̀lú nígbà tí a gba Jesu Kristi Olúwa gbọ́, ta ni èmi tí n ó fi rò pé mo le è de Ọlọ́run ní ọ̀nà?”
If then God gave to them the same gift as us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?”
18 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì gbọ́ nǹkan wọ̀nyí, wọ́n sì pa ẹnu wọn mọ́, wọ́n sì yin Ọlọ́run ògo wí pé, “Ǹjẹ́ Ọlọ́run fi ìrònúpìwàdà sí ìyè fún àwọn aláìkọlà pẹ̀lú!”
When they heard these things, they held their peace and glorified God, saying, “Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life!”
19 Nítorí náà àwọn tí a sì túká kiri nípasẹ̀ inúnibíni tí ó dìde ní ti Stefanu, wọ́n rìn títí de Fonisia, àti Saipurọsi, àti Antioku, wọn kò sọ ọ̀rọ̀ náà fún ẹnìkan bí kò ṣe fún kìkì àwọn Júù.
They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only.
20 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn kan ń bẹ nínú wọn tí ó jẹ́ ará Saipurọsi àti Kirene; nígbà tí wọ́n dé Antioku, wọ́n sọ̀rọ̀ fún àwọn Helleni pẹ̀lú, wọ́n ń wàásù ìròyìn ayọ̀ nípa Jesu Olúwa.
But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus.
21 Ọwọ́ Olúwa sì wà pẹ̀lú wọn, ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ènìyàn sì gbàgbọ́, wọ́n sì yípadà sí Olúwa.
The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
22 Ìròyìn nípa wọn sì dé etí ìjọ ti ó wà ni Jerusalẹmu; wọ́n sì rán Barnaba lọ títí dé Antioku;
The report concerning them came to the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem. They sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch,
23 Nígbà ti ó dé ti ó sì rí ẹ̀rí oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run, ó yọ̀, ó sì gba gbogbo wọn níyànjú pé, pẹ̀lú ìpinnu ọkàn ni kí wọn fi ara mọ́ Olúwa.
who, when he had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain near to the Lord.
24 Nítorí òun jẹ́ ènìyàn rere, ó sì kún fún Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ àti fún ìgbàgbọ́; ènìyàn púpọ̀ ni a sì kà kún Olúwa.
For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Spirit and of faith, and many people were added to the Lord.
25 Barnaba sì jáde lọ sí Tarsu láti wá Saulu,
Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.
26 nígbà tí ó sì rí i, ó mú un wá sí Antioku. Fún ọdún kan gbáko ni wọ́n fi ń bá ìjọ péjọpọ̀, tí wọ́n sì kọ́ ènìyàn púpọ̀. Ní Antioku ni a sì kọ́kọ́ ti pe àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn ni “Kristiani.”
When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
27 Ní ọjọ́ wọ̀nyí ni àwọn wòlíì sì ti Jerusalẹmu sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá sí Antioku.
Now in these days, prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.
28 Nígbà tí ọ̀kan nínú wọn, ti a ń pè ni Agabu sí dìde, ó ti ipa Ẹ̀mí sọ pé, ìyàn ńlá yóò mú yíká gbogbo ilẹ̀ Romu. (Èyí sì ṣẹlẹ̀ nígbà ìṣèjọba Kilaudiu.)
One of them named Agabus stood up and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.
29 Àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn sì pinnu, olúkúlùkù gẹ́gẹ́ bí agbára rẹ̀ ti tó, láti rán ìrànlọ́wọ́ sí àwọn arákùnrin tí ó wà ní Judea.
As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;
30 Wọn sì ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, wọn sì fi ẹ̀bùn ránṣẹ́ sí àwọn àgbà láti ọwọ́ Barnaba àti Saulu.
which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
