Acts 13
1 Àwọn wòlíì àti àwọn olùkọ́ni sì ń bẹ nínú ìjọ ti ó wà ni Antioku; Barnaba àti Simeoni tí a ń pè ni Nigeri, àti Lukiu ará Kirene, àti Manaeni (ẹni tí a tọ́ pọ̀ pẹ̀lú Herodu tetrarki) àti Saulu.
Now there were certain prophets and teachers in the church that was at Antioch; Barnabas, and Simeon, who is called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, who was brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2 Bí wọn sì ti ń jọ́sìn fún Olúwa, tí wọ́n sì ń gbààwẹ̀, Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ wí pé, “Ẹ ya Barnaba àti Saulu sọ́tọ̀ fún mi fún iṣẹ́ ti mo ti pè wọ́n sí!”
And while they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said: Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul, to the work to which I have called them.
3 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì ti gbààwẹ̀, tí wọn sì ti gbàdúrà, wọ́n gbé ọwọ́ lé wọn, wọ́n sì rán wọn lọ.
Then, after they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
4 Ǹjẹ́ bí Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́ ti rán àwọn méjèèjì lọ, wọ́n sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Seleusia; láti ibẹ̀ wọ́n sì wọ ọkọ̀ ojú omi lọ sí Saipurọsi.
Therefore, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and thence sailed to Cyprus.
5 Nígbà ti wọ́n sì wà ni Salami, wọ́n ń wàásù ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run ní Sinagọgu àwọn Júù. Johanu náà sì wà pẹ̀lú wọn láti ràn wọ́n lọ́wọ́ fún ìránṣẹ́ wọn.
And while they were in Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogue of the Jews; and they had John as their attendant.
6 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì la gbogbo erékùṣù já dé Pafosi, wọ́n rí ọkùnrin oṣó àti wòlíì èké kan ti i ṣe Júù, orúkọ ẹni ti ó ń jẹ́ Bar-Jesu.
And having gone through the island as far as Paphos, they found a certain magician, a Jewish false prophet, whose name was Bar-jesus;
7 Ó wà lọ́dọ̀ Segiu Paulusi baálẹ̀ ìlú náà tí í ṣe amòye ènìyàn. Òun náà ni ó ránṣẹ́ pe Barnaba àti Saulu, nítorí tí ó fẹ́ gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run.
and he was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, who was a man of intelligence. This man called for Barnabas and Saul, and expressed an earnest wish to hear the word of God.
8 Ṣùgbọ́n Elimu oṣó (nítorí bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìtumọ̀ orúkọ rẹ̀) takò wọ́n, ó ń fẹ́ pa baálẹ̀ ni ọkàn dà kúrò ni ìgbàgbọ́.
But the magician Elymas (for this is his name, when translated) withstood them, desiring to turn away the proconsul from the faith.
9 Ṣùgbọ́n Saulu ti a ń pè ni Paulu, ó kún fún Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́, ó sì tẹjúmọ́ Elimu, ó sì wí pé,
Then Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, and looking earnestly upon him,
10 “Ìwọ ti ó kún fún àrékérekè gbogbo, àti fún ìwà ìkà gbogbo, ìwọ ọmọ èṣù, ìwọ ọ̀tá ohun gbogbo, ìwọ kì yóò ha dẹ́kun láti máa yí ọ̀nà òtítọ́ Olúwa po?
said: O full of all deceit and all wickedness, child of the devil, enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
11 Ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí wò ó, ọwọ́ Olúwa ń bẹ lára rẹ̀, ìwọ ó sì fọjú ìwọ kì yóò rí oòrùn ní sá à kan!” Lójúkan náà, ìkùùkuu àti òkùnkùn sí bò ó; ó sì ń wá ènìyàn kiri láti fa òun lọ́wọ́ lọ.
And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness, and he went about and sought some to lead him by the hand.
12 Nígbà tí baálẹ̀ rí ohun tí ó ṣe, ó gbàgbọ́, ẹnu sì yà á sì ẹ̀kọ́ Olúwa.
Then the proconsul, seeing what was done, believed, being amazed at the teaching of the Lord.
13 Nígbà tí Paulu àti àwọn tí ó wà pẹ̀lú rẹ̀ si ṣíkọ̀ ni Pafosi wọ́n wá sí Perga ni Pamfilia: Johanu sì fi wọ́n sílẹ̀, ó sì padà lọ sí Jerusalẹmu.
And Paul and his companions put to sea from Paphos, and went to Perga in Pamphylia. But John withdrew from them, and returned to Jerusalem.
14 Nígbà ti wọ́n sì là Perga kọjá, wọ́n wá sí Pisidia ní Antioku. Wọ́n sì wọ inú Sinagọgu ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi, wọ́n sì jókòó.
But having passed through from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia; and on the sabbath-day they went into the synagogue, and sat down.
15 Lẹ́yìn kíka ìwé òfin àti ìwé àwọn wòlíì, àwọn olórí Sinagọgu ránṣẹ́ sí wọn, pé, “Ará, bí ẹ̀yin bá ni ọ̀rọ̀ ìyànjú kan fún àwọn ènìyàn, ẹ sọ ọ́!”
After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying: Brethren, if you have a word of exhortation for the people, speak.
16 Paulu sì dìde dúró, ó sì juwọ́ sí wọn, ó ní, “Ẹ̀yin Israẹli, àti ẹ̀yin ti ó bẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run, ẹ fi etí sílẹ̀ sí mi!
Then Paul arose, and waving his hand, said: Men of Israel, and you who fear God, give audience.
17 Ọlọ́run àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli yìí yan àwọn baba wa, ó sì gbé àwọn ènìyàn náà lékè, nígbà tí wọ́n ṣe àtìpó ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, pẹ̀lú agbára ńlá ni ó sì fi mú wọn jáde kúrò nínú rẹ̀,
The God of this people chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they sojourned in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm he brought them out from it.
18 ní ìwọ̀n ìgbà ogójì ọdún ni ó fi mú sùúrù fún ìwà wọn ní ijù,
And for about forty years, he cherished them in the wilderness.
19 nígbà tí ó sì ti run orílẹ̀-èdè méje ni ilẹ̀ Kenaani, ó sì fi ilẹ̀ wọn fún àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ ni ìní.
And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land among them by lot.
20 Gbogbo èyí sì ṣẹlẹ̀ fún ìwọ̀n àádọ́ta lé ní irinwó ọdún. “Lẹ́yìn nǹkan wọ̀nyí ni Ọlọ́run fi onídàájọ́ fún wọn, títí ó fi di ìgbà Samuẹli wòlíì.
And after that he gave them judges, for about four hundred and fifty years, till Samuel the prophet.
21 Lẹ́yìn náà ni wọ́n sì béèrè ọba; Ọlọ́run sì fún wọn ní Saulu ọmọ Kiṣi, ọkùnrin kan nínú ẹ̀yà Benjamini, fún ogójì ọdún.
And afterward they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
22 Nígbà ti ó sì mú Saulu kúrò, ó gbé Dafidi dìde ní ọba fún wọn, ẹni tí ó sì jẹ́rìí rẹ̀ pé, ‘Mo rí Dafidi ọmọ Jese ẹni bí ọkàn mi, ti yóò ṣe gbogbo ìfẹ́ mi.’
And when he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king; to whom he gave this testimony: I have found David the son of Jesse a man after my own heart, who will do all my will.
23 “Láti inú irú-ọmọ ọkùnrin yìí ni Ọlọ́run ti gbé Jesu Olùgbàlà dìde fún Israẹli gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìlérí.
From the posterity of this man, God, according to his promise, raised up for Israel a Savior, Jesus;
24 Ṣáájú wíwá Jesu ni Johanu ti wàásù bamitiisi ìrònúpìwàdà fún gbogbo ènìyàn Israẹli.
John having first preached, before his coming, the immersion of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25 Bí Johanu sì ti ńlá ipa tirẹ̀ já, ó ni, ‘Ta ni ẹ̀yin ṣe bí èmi jẹ́? Èmi kì í ṣe òun. Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ kíyèsi í, ẹnìkan ń bọ̀ lẹ́yìn mi, bàtà ẹsẹ̀ ẹni tí èmi kò tó tú.’
And as John was finishing his course, he said: Who do you suppose that I am? I am not he; but behold, there is coming after me one, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to loose.
26 “Ará, ẹ̀yin ọmọ ìran Abrahamu, àti ẹ̀yin ti ó bẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run, àwa ni a rán ọ̀rọ̀ ìgbàlà yìí sí.
Brethren, sons of the family of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
27 Nítorí àwọn tí ń gbé Jerusalẹmu, àti àwọn olórí wọn, nítorí tiwọn kò mọ̀ Jesu, tí wọn kò sì ní òye ọ̀rọ̀ àwọn wòlíì, tí a ń kà ní ọjọọjọ́ ìsinmi fún wọn, kò yé wọn, wọ́n mú ọ̀rọ̀ àwọn wòlíì yìí ṣẹ nípa dídá a lẹ́bi.
For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they did not know him, nor the words of the prophets, which are read every sabbath-day, have fulfilled them in condemning him.
28 Àti bí wọn kò tilẹ̀ ti rí ọ̀ràn ikú sí i, síbẹ̀ wọn rọ Pilatu láti pa á.
And though they found no cause of death, yet they demanded of Pilate that he should be slain.
29 Bí wọ́n ti mú nǹkan gbogbo ṣẹ ti a kọ̀wé nítorí rẹ̀, wọn sì sọ̀ ọ́ kalẹ̀ kúrò lórí igi, wọ́n sì tẹ́ ẹ sí ibojì.
And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulcher.
30 Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run jí i dìde kúrò nínú òkú,
But God raised him from the dead.
31 o sì farahàn lọ́jọ́ púpọ̀ fún àwọn tí ó bá a gòkè láti Galili wá sí Jerusalẹmu, àwọn tí í ṣe ẹlẹ́rìí rẹ̀ nísinsin yìí fún àwọn ènìyàn.
And he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.
32 “Àwa sì mú ìyìnrere wá fún yín pé, ìlérí èyí tí Ọlọ́run ti ṣe fún àwọn baba wa,
And we preach to you good news concerning the promise made to our fathers,
33 èyí ni Ọlọ́run ti mú ṣẹ fún àwa ọmọ wọn, nípa gbígbé Jesu dìde, bí a sì ti kọ̀wé rẹ̀ nínú Saamu kejì pé, “‘Ìwọ ni Ọmọ mi; lónìí ni mo bí ọ.’
that God has fulfilled the same to us, their children, by raising up Jesus, as it is written in the second Psalm: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
34 Àti ni tí pé Ọlọ́run jí i dìde kúrò nínú òkú, ẹni tí kì yóò tún padà sí ìbàjẹ́ mọ́, ó wí báyìí pé: “‘Èmi ó fún yín ní ọ̀rẹ́ mímọ́ Dafidi, tí ó dájú.’
But that he raised him from the dead, no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: I will give you the sure mercies of David.
35 Nítorí ó sì wí nínú Saamu mìíràn pẹ̀lú pé, “‘Ìwọ kí yóò jẹ́ kí Ẹni Mímọ́ rẹ rí ìdíbàjẹ́.’
For which reason he says also in another Psalm: Thou wilt not suffer thy Holy One to see corruption.
36 “Nítorí lẹ́yìn ìgbà ti Dafidi ti sin ìran rẹ tan nípa ìfẹ́ Ọlọ́run, ó sùn, a sì tẹ́ ẹ ti àwọn baba rẹ̀, ara rẹ̀ sì rí ìdíbàjẹ́.
For David, after serving the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep, and was laid with his fathers, and saw corruption.
37 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí Ọlọ́run jí dìde kò rí ìdíbàjẹ́.
But he whom God raised up did not see corruption.
38 “Ǹjẹ́ kí ó yé yín, ará pé nípasẹ̀ Jesu yìí ni a ń wàásù ìdáríjì ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ fún yín.
Be it known to you, therefore, brethren, that through this man is preached to you the remission of sins:
39 Nípa rẹ̀ ni a ń dá olúkúlùkù ẹni tí ó gbàgbọ́ láre kúrò nínú ohun gbogbo, tí a kò lè dá yín láre rẹ̀ nínú òfin Mose.
and by him, every one that believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40 Nítorí náà, ẹ kíyèsára, kí èyí tí a ti sọ nínú ìwé àwọn wòlíì má ṣe dé bá yín pé:
Take heed, therefore, lest that which is spoken in the prophets come upon you:
41 “‘Ẹ wò ó, ẹ̀yin ẹlẹ́gàn, kí ẹnu sì yà yín, kí a sì fẹ́ yín kù; nítorí èmi ó ṣe ohun kan ní ọjọ́ yín, tí ẹ̀yin kò jẹ́ gbàgbọ́, bí a tilẹ̀ sọ fún yin.’”
Behold, you despisers, and wonder, and perish. For I work a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, though one fully declare it to you.
42 Bí Paulu àti Barnaba sì ti ń jáde láti inú Sinagọgu, wọ́n bẹ̀bẹ̀ pé kí a sọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí sí i fún wọn lọ́jọ́ ìsinmi tí ń bọ̀.
And as they were departing from the synagogue, they were requested to speak these things to them on the next sabbath.
43 Nígbà tí wọn sì jáde nínú Sinagọgu, ọ̀pọ̀ nínú àwọn Júù àti nínú àwọn olùfọkànsìn aláwọ̀ṣe Júù tẹ̀lé Paulu àti Barnaba, àwọn ẹni tí ó bá wọn sọ̀rọ̀ tí wọ́n sì rọ̀ wọ́n láti dúró nínú oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run.
Now, after the congregation was dismissed, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them, and persuaded them to continue faithful to the grace of God.
44 Ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi kejì, gbogbo ìlú sí fẹ́rẹ̀ péjọ tan láti gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa.
And on the next sabbath-day, almost the whole city met together to hear the word of God.
45 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí àwọn Júù rí ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn náà, wọ́n kún fún owú, wọ́n ń sọ̀rọ̀-òdì sí ohun ti Paulu ń sọ.
But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spoke against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and reviling.
46 Paulu àti Barnaba sì dá wọn lóhùn láìbẹ̀rù pé, “Ẹ̀yin ni ó tọ́ sí pé ki a kọ́kọ́ sọ ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run fún yín, ṣùgbọ́n bí ẹ̀yin ti ta á nù, tí ẹ sì ka ara yín sí aláìyẹ fún ìyè àìnípẹ̀kun, wò ó, àwa yípadà sọ́dọ̀ àwọn aláìkọlà. (aiōnios g166)
But Paul and Barnabas, speaking boldly, said: It was necessary that the word of God should be spoken to you first: but since you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo! we turn to tho Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
47 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa ṣa ti pàṣẹ fún wa pé: “‘Mo ti gbé ọ kalẹ̀ láti tan ìmọ́lẹ̀ fún àwọn aláìkọlà, kí ìwọ lè mú ìgbàlà wá títí dé òpin ayé.’”
For thus has the Lord given us commandment: I have placed thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be for salvation to the most distant part of the earth.
48 Nígbà tí àwọn aláìkọlà sì gbọ́ èyí, wọ́n sì yín ọ̀rọ̀ Ọlọ́run lógo: gbogbo àwọn tí a yàn sí ìyè àìnípẹ̀kun sì gbàgbọ́. (aiōnios g166)
When the Gentiles heard this they rejoiced, and glorified the word of the Lord; and as many as were determined to obtain eternal life, believed. (aiōnios g166)
49 A sí tan ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ká gbogbo agbègbè náà.
And the word of the Lord was published throughout the whole of that region.
50 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn Júù rú àwọn obìnrin olùfọkànsìn àti ọlọ́lá sókè àti àwọn àgbà ìlú náà, wọ́n sì gbé inúnibíni dìde sí Paulu àti Barnaba, wọ́n sì le wọn kúrò ni agbègbè wọn.
But the Jews in cited the devout and influential women, and the first men of the city, and raised a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them from their borders.
51 Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n gbọn eruku ẹsẹ̀ wọn sí wọn, wọn sì wá sí Ikoniomu.
But they shook off the dust from their feet against them, and went to Iconium.
52 Àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn si kún fún ayọ̀ àti fún Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́.
And the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.
