Acts 14
1 Ó sí ṣe, ni Ikoniomu, Paulu àti Barnaba jùmọ̀ wọ inú Sinagọgu àwọn Júù lọ, wọ́n sì sọ̀rọ̀ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ àwọn Júù àti àwọn Helleni gbàgbọ́.
At Iconium Paul and Barnabas went as usual into the Jewish meeting place and spoke very convincingly [about the Lord Jesus]. As a result, many Jews and also non-Jews believed [in Jesus].
2 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn aláìgbàgbọ́ Júù rú ọkàn àwọn aláìkọlà sókè, wọ́n sì mú wọn ni ọkàn ìkorò sí àwọn arákùnrin náà.
But [some of] the Jews refused to believe [that message, and] told the non-Jews not to believe it. They told the non-Jewish people that the message [about Jesus] was not true. As a result, [some of] the non-Jews became angry towards the believers [there].
3 Nítorí náà Paulu àti Barnaba gbé ibẹ̀ pẹ́, wọ́n ń fi ìgboyà sọ̀rọ̀ nínú Olúwa, ẹni tí ó jẹ́rìí sí ọ̀rọ̀ oore-ọ̀fẹ́ rẹ̀, ó sì mu kí iṣẹ́ àmì àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu máa ti ọwọ́ wọn ṣe.
So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there speaking boldly for the Lord, and the Lord Jesus enabled them to do many miracles. In this way he showed [people] that the message about how the Lord saves us in a way that we do not deserve is true.
4 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn ìlú náà pín sí méjì: apá kan dàpọ̀ mọ́ àwọn Júù, apá kan pẹ̀lú àwọn aposteli.
The people [who lived] in [Iconium] city strongly disagreed with each other [concerning the message about Jesus]. Some of them agreed with the Jews [SYN] [who did not believe that message]. Others agreed with Paul and Barnabas.
5 Bí àwọn aláìkọlà, àti àwọn Júù pẹ̀lú àwọn olórí wọn ti fẹ́ kọlù wọ́n láti fi àbùkù kàn wọ́n, àti láti sọ wọ́n ní òkúta,
Then the non-Jewish people and the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] [who opposed those two] talked among themselves about how they could mistreat them. Some of the important men in that city agreed to help them. Together, they decided that they would [kill Paul and Barnabas by] throwing stones at them.
6 wọ́n gbọ́ nípa rẹ̀, wọ́n sì sálọ sí Lysra, àti Dabe, àwọn ìlú Likaonia àti sí agbègbè àyíká.
But Paul and Barnabas heard about that, so they quickly went away to Lycaonia [district. They went] to Lystra and Derbe [cities in that district] and to the area surrounding [those cities].
7 Níbẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì ń wàásù ìyìnrere.
[While they were] in that area, they continually told people the message [about the Lord Jesus].
8 Ọkùnrin kan sí jókòó ni Lysra, ẹni tí ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ kò mókun, arọ láti inú ìyá rẹ̀ wá, tí kò rìn rí.
[Once while Paul was preaching to people] in Lystra, a man was sitting there who was crippled in his legs. When [his mother] bore him he had crippled legs, so he was never able to walk.
9 Ọkùnrin yìí gbọ́ bí Paulu ti ń sọ̀rọ̀: ẹni, nígbà tí ó tẹjúmọ́ ọn ti ó sì rí i pé, ó ni ìgbàgbọ́ fún ìmúláradá.
He listened as Paul was speaking [about the Lord Jesus]. Paul looked directly at him and could see [in the man’s face] that he believed that [the Lord Jesus] could make him well.
10 Ó wí fún un ní ohùn rara pé, “Dìde dúró ṣánṣán lórí ẹsẹ̀ rẹ!” Ó sì ń fò sókè, ó sì ń rìn.
So Paul called out [to him], “Stand up!” [When the man heard that], he [immediately] jumped up and began to walk [normally].
11 Nígbà tí àwọn ènìyàn sì rí ohun tí Paulu ṣe, wọ́n gbé ohùn wọn sókè ni èdè Likaonia, wí pé, “Àwọn ọlọ́run sọ̀kalẹ̀ tọ̀ wá wá ni àwọ̀ ènìyàn!”
When the crowd saw what Paul had done, [they thought that Paul and Barnabas] [were/must be]) [the gods that they worshipped]. So they shouted [excitedly] in their [own] Lycaonia language, “[Look! These people are] the gods [that we(inc) worship! They] made themselves look like people and have come down [from the sky/heaven to help us]!”
12 Wọn sì pe Barnaba ni Seusi àti Paulu ni Hermesi nítorí òun ni olórí ọ̀rọ̀ sísọ.
They began to say that Barnabas was [probably the chief god, whose name was]. And [they began to say that] Paul was Hermes, [the messenger/spokesman for the other gods. They mistakenly thought that] because Paul was the one who had been speaking.
13 Àlùfáà Seusi, ẹni ti ilé òrìṣà rẹ̀ wá lẹ́yìn odi ìlú wọn sì mú màlúù àti màrìwò wá sí ẹnu ibodè láti rú ẹbọ pẹ̀lú ìjọ ènìyàn sí àwọn aposteli wọ̀nyí.
Just outside [the gates of] the city there was a temple [where the people worshipped Zeus. The priest who was there heard what Paul and Barnabas had done, so he came] to the city gate, where many people had already gathered. He brought [two] bulls with wreaths [of flowers around their necks]. The priest and the other people wanted to kill the bulls [as part of a ceremony] to worship Paul and Barnabas.
14 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí àwọn aposteli Barnaba àti Paulu gbọ́, wọ́n fa aṣọ wọn ya, wọn sí súré wọ inú àwùjọ, wọn ń ké rara pé:
But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard about that, [and understood that the people thought that they were gods and wanted to sacrifice the bulls to worship them], they [were very distressed], so they tore their own clothes. They rushed among the people, shouting,
15 “Ará, èéṣe ti ẹ̀yin fi ń ṣe nǹkan wọ̀nyí? Ènìyàn bí ẹ̀yin náà ni àwa ń ṣe pẹ̀lú, ti a sì ń wàásù ìyìnrere fún yín, kí ẹ̀yin ba à lè yípadà kúrò nínú ohun asán wọ̀nyí sí Ọlọ́run alààyè, tí ó dá ọ̀run àti ayé, òkun, àti ohun gbogbo tí ń bẹ nínú wọn.
“Men, (you must not kill those bulls [to worship us(dl)!]/why are you doing this?) [RHQ] [We are not gods]! We are just human beings like you! We have come to tell you some good news! [We have come to tell you about] God who is all-powerful. He wants you to stop worshipping other gods, because they cannot help you. This true God made the heaven/sky and the earth and the oceans and everything in it.
16 Ní ìran tí ó ti kọjá, ó faradà á fún gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè, láti máa rìn ni ọ̀nà tiwọn.
In the past, all of you non-Jewish people [worshipped whatever gods that you wanted to]. God let you worship them, [because you did not know him].
17 Ṣùgbọ́n kò fi ara rẹ̀ sílẹ̀ ní àìní ẹ̀rí, ní ti pé ó ṣe rere, ó ń fún yín lójò láti ọ̀run wá, àti ni àkókò èso, ó ń fi oúnjẹ àti ayọ̀ kún ọkàn yín.”
But he has shown us [LIT] [that] he acts kindly [toward us(inc)]. He is the one who causes it to rain and causes crops to grow. He is the one who gives you plenty of food, and makes you very happy.”
18 Díẹ̀ ni ó kù kí wọn má le fi ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí dá àwọn ènìyàn dúró, kí wọn má ṣe rú ẹbọ bọ wọ́n.
The people heard what [Paul] said, but they still thought that they should sacrifice those bulls to worship Paul and Barnabas. [But finally, the people decided not to do it].
19 Àwọn Júù kan sì ti Antioku àti Ikoniomu wá, nígbà tí wọ́n yí àwọn ènìyàn lọ́kàn padà, wọ́n sì sọ Paulu ní òkúta, wọ́n wọ́ ọ kúrò sí ẹ̀yin odi ìlú náà, wọn ṣe bí ó ti kú.
[However], after that, some Jews came from Antioch and Iconium and persuaded many of the people of Lystra [that the message Paul had been telling them] was not true. The people [who believed what those Jews said became angry with Paul. They let the Jews] throw stones at him [until he fell down, unconscious]. They [all] thought that he was dead, so they dragged him outside the city [and left him lying there]. But some of the believers [in Lystra had followed them outside the city].
20 Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn dúró ti i yíká, ó dìde ó sì padà wọ inú ìlú náà lọ. Ní ọjọ́ kejì ó bá Barnaba lọ sí Dabe.
They came and stood around Paul, [where he was lying on the ground]. And Paul [became conscious! He] stood up and went back into the city [with the believers]. Acts 14:20b-23 The next day, Paul and Barnabas [left Lystra and] traveled to Derbe.
21 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì ti wàásù ìyìnrere fún ìlú náà, tí wọ́n sì ni ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn púpọ̀, wọn padà lọ sí Lysra, àti Ikoniomu, àti Antioku,
They [stayed there several days and they kept telling] the people the good message [about Jesus]. Many people became believers. After that, Paul and Barnabas [started on their way back. They] went again to Lystra. [Then they went from there] to Iconium, and [then they went] to Antioch [in Pisidia province].
22 wọn sì ń mú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn lọ́kàn le, wọ́n sì ń gbà wọ́n níyànjú láti dúró nínú ìgbàgbọ́, àti pé nínú ìpọ́njú púpọ̀, ni àwa ó fi wọ ìjọba Ọlọ́run.
[In each city], they helped the believers [SYN] to become strong [spiritually], and they urged them to keep on trusting in [the Lord Jesus]. They told [the believers], “It is necessary that [we endure] people often persecuting us [(inc)] before we enter the place where God will rule [over us forever].”
23 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì ti yan àwọn alàgbà fún olúkúlùkù ìjọ, tí wọn sì ti fi àwẹ̀ gbàdúrà, wọn fi wọ́n lé Olúwa lọ́wọ, ẹni tí wọn gbàgbọ́.
Paul and Barnabas appointed leaders for each congregation. [And before Paul and Barnabas left each town, they gathered the believers together and spent some time] praying and (fasting/not eating any food). Then Paul and Barnabas entrusted the [leaders and other believers] to the Lord [Jesus], in whom they had believed, [in order that he would care for them].
24 Nígbà tí wọn sí la Pisidia já, wọ́n wá sí Pamfilia.
After Paul and Barnabas had traveled through Pisidia [district], they went [south] to Pamphylia [district].
25 Nígbà tí wọn sì ti sọ ọ̀rọ̀ náà ni Perga, wọ́n sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí Atalia.
[In that district], they [arrived] at Perga and preached God’s message [about the Lord Jesus to the people there. Then] they went down [to the seacoast] at Attalia.
26 Àti láti ibẹ̀ lọ wọ́n ṣíkọ̀ lọ sí Antioku ní ibi tí a gbé ti fi wọ́n lé oore-ọ̀fẹ́ Ọlọ́run lọ́wọ́, fún iṣẹ́ tí wọ́n ṣe parí.
There they got on a ship and went back to Antioch [in Syria province]. That was the place where Paul and Barnabas had been appointed {where [believers] had sent Paul and Barnabas} to go [to other places] and preach. [Antioch was the place where the believers] had asked God to kindly help Paul and Barnabas in the work that they had now completed.
27 Nígbà tí wọ́n sì dé, tí wọ́n sì pé ìjọ jọ, wọ́n ròhìn gbogbo ohun tí Ọlọ́run fi wọ́n ṣe, àti bí ó ti ṣí ìlẹ̀kùn ìgbàgbọ́ fún àwọn aláìkọlà.
When they arrived in Antioch, they called the believers together. Then Paul and Barnabas told them all that God had helped them to do. [Specifically, they told them how God] had enabled [IDM] [many] non-Jewish people to believe [in Jesus].
28 Níbẹ̀ ni wọ́n ń gbé pẹ̀lú àwọn ọmọ-ẹ̀yìn ni ọjọ́ púpọ̀.
Then Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch with the [other] believers for several months.
