< 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 in the church that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of 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!”
As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, "Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for 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, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they 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.
When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. They had also 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.
When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a certain man, a 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.
who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought 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 Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn aside 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,
But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on 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?
and said, "Full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you 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.
Now, look, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, unable to see the sun for a time." Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone 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, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished 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.
Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia, and John departed 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 they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, 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, "Brothers, if you have any 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!
Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, "Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.

The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as foreigners in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it.
18 ní ìwọ̀n ìgbà ogójì ọdún ni ó fi mú sùúrù fún ìwà wọn ní ijù,
For a period of about forty years he put up with 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.
When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land as an inheritance.

All this took about four hundred and fifty years. And after these things he gave them judges, until 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.
Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, 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.’
When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, 'I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my 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 this man's offspring, according to his promise, God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus,
24 Ṣáájú wíwá Jesu ni Johanu ti wàásù bamitiisi ìrònúpìwàdà fún gbogbo ènìyàn Israẹli.
before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism 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.’
As John was fulfilling his course, he said, 'What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But look, one comes after me the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.'
26 “Ará, ẹ̀yin ọmọ ìran Abrahamu, àti ẹ̀yin ti ó bẹ̀rù Ọlọ́run, àwa ni a rán ọ̀rọ̀ ìgbàlà yìí sí.
Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to us.
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 voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.
28 Àti bí wọn kò tilẹ̀ ti rí ọ̀ràn ikú sí i, síbẹ̀ wọn rọ Pilatu láti pa á.
Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
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.
When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree, and placed him in a tomb.
30 Ṣùgbọ́n Ọlọ́run jí i dìde kúrò nínú òkú,
But God raised him from the dead,

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,
We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,

that God has fulfilled for us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, 'You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.'
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.’
"Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: 'I will give to you the faithful sacred things of David.'
35 Nítorí ó sì wí nínú Saamu mìíràn pẹ̀lú pé, “‘Ìwọ kí yóò jẹ́ kí Ẹni Mímọ́ rẹ rí ìdíbàjẹ́.’
Therefore he says also in another psalm, 'You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.'
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 he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was placed with his fathers, and saw decay.
37 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹni tí Ọlọ́run jí dìde kò rí ìdíbàjẹ́.
But he whom God raised up saw no decay.
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, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you forgiveness 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 everyone who 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:
So beware, lest what is said in the Prophets should come about:
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.’”
'Look, you scoffers, and be amazed, and perish; for I am working a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, if one tells 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.
So when they went out they urged them to speak about these things 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 when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
44 Ní ọjọ́ ìsinmi kejì, gbogbo ìlú sí fẹ́rẹ̀ péjọ tan láti gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa.
The next Sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of the Lord.

But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and reviled him.
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)
Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, "It was necessary that God's word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, look, we turn to the non-Jewish people. (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 so has the Lord commanded us, saying, 'I have set you as a light to the nations, that you may bring salvation to the farthest 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)
As the non-Jewish people heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord. As many as were appointed to everlasting life believed. (aiōnios g166)
49 A sí tan ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa ká gbogbo agbègbè náà.
The Lord's word was spread abroad throughout all the region.

But the Jews stirred up the devout women of prominence and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders.
51 Ṣùgbọ́n wọ́n gbọn eruku ẹsẹ̀ wọn sí wọn, wọn sì wá sí Ikoniomu.
But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
52 Àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn si kún fún ayọ̀ àti fún Ẹ̀mí Mímọ́.
The disciples were filled with joy with the Holy Spirit.
