Butros Ayaa Daafacay Wixii Uu Sameeyey

11 Haddaba rasuulladii iyo walaalihii Yahuudiya joogay ayay waxay maqleen in dadka aan Yuhuudda ahaynna ay ereygii Ilaah aqbaleen. Oo markii Butros Yeruusaalem yimid, kuwii ka mid ahaa kuwii gudnaa ayaa la murmay isagii, oo waxay ku yidhaahdeen, Waxaad u tagtay niman aan la gudin, waadna la cuntay. Laakiin Butros wuxuu bilaabay inuu sheekadii ugu sheego siday isugu xigtay, oo wuxuu yidhi.

Anigu waxaan joogay magaalada Yaafaa la yidhaahdo oo waan tukanayay, markaas waxaan khilaawo ku arkay riyo oo ahayd weel soo degaya sida shiraaq weyn oo kale oo afartiisa geesood samada lagaga soo dejinayo; wuuna ii soo dhowaaday, oo markaan aad u fiiriyey, ayaan ka fikiray oo waxaan arkay xayawaankii afarta lugood lahaa oo dhulka, iyo dugaagta, iyo waxa gurguurta, iyo haadda cirka. Oo waxaan maqlay cod igu leh, Kac, Butrosow, gowrac oo cun. Laakiin waxaan idhi, Saas yaanay noqon, Rabbiyow, maxaa yeelay, wax xaaraan ah oo aan nadiif ahayn, weligay afkayga ma gelin. Laakiin markii labaad cod baa samada ka soo jawaabay oo yidhi, Wixii Ilaah nadiifiyey, xaaraan ha ka dhigin. 10 Taasna waxay dhacday saddex goor; markaasaa dhammaantood mar labaad samada kor loogu bixiyey. 11 Oo bal eega, markiiba saddex nin baa istaagtay gurigaannu joognay hortiisa, kuwaasoo la iiga soo diray Kaysariya. 12 Ruuxuna wuxuu ii sheegay inaan raaco iyaga, anoo aan shaki lahayn. Oo lixdatan walaalaha ihina way i raaceen; waxaannan galnay ninkii gurigiisii; 13 markaasuu wuxuu noo sheegay siduu gurigiisa ugu arkay malaa'igta taagan oo ku leh, Yaafaa cid u dir oo uga soo yeedh Simoon kan la yidhaahdo Butros; 14 kaasoo kugula hadli doona hadallo aad ku badbaadi doontid, adiga iyo dadka gurigaaga oo dhammiba. 15 Oo kolkaan bilaabay inaan hadlo ayaa Ruuxa Quduuska ah ku soo degay iyaga siduu bilowgii inoogu soo degay innagana. 16 Markaasaan xusuustay ereygii Rabbiga, siduu u yidhi, Runtii Yooxanaa wuxuu dadka ku baabtiisay biyo; laakiin idinka waxaa laydinku baabtiisi doonaa Ruuxa Quduuska ah. 17 Haddaba haddii Ilaah iyaga siiyey isku hadiyaddii, siduu inoo siiyey markii aynu Rabbi Ciise Masiix rumaysannay, anigu kumaan ahaa kaygan Ilaah diidi karaa? 18 Oo markay waxyaalahaas maqleen, ayay dooddii ka aamuseen, Ilaah bayna ammaaneen, oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Haddaba xataa dadka aan Yuhuudda ahaynna Ilaah baa siiyey toobadkeen inay nolol helaan.

Kiniisaddii Dadka Aan Yuhuudda Ahayn Oo Antiyokh Ku Tiil

19 Haddaba kuwii u kala firidhsanaa, dhibaatadii kacday Istefanos aawadiis, waxay u sodcaaleen tan iyo Foynike iyo Qubrus iyo Antiyokh, iyagoo aan ereyga kula hadlin ninna, Yuhuudda oo keliya mooyaane. 20 Laakiin waxaa jiray qaar iyaga ka mid ah oo ahaa niman reer Qubrus iyo reer Kuranaya ahaa, kuwaasoo, kolkay Antiyokh yimaadeen, xataa Gariiggiina la hadlay, iyagoo ku wacdiyaya Rabbi Ciise. 21 Gacanta Rabbiguna waa la jirtay iyaga; oo kuwa tiro badan oo rumaystay baa Rabbiga u soo jeestay.

22 Oo warkii iyaga ku saabsanaa baa wuxuu soo gaadhay kiniisaddii Yeruusaalem ku tiil; markaasay Barnabas tan iyo Antiyokh u direen; 23 kaasoo farxay markuu yimid oo arkay nimcada Ilaah; wuxuuna kulligood ku waaniyey inay Rabbiga ku xajistaan niyad qalbiga ka timid, 24 maxaa yeelay, nin wanaagsan buu ahaa oo waxaa ka buuxsamay Ruuxa Quduuska ah iyo rumaysad; dad badan baana Rabbiga u kordhay. 25 Markaasuu Tarsos tegey inuu Sawlos ka doono; 26 markuu soo helayna, ayuu Antiyokh keenay. Waxaana dhacday inay sannad dhan kiniisadda la urureen oo ay dad badan wax bareen, oo meeshii ugu horraysay ee xertii loogu yeedhay Masiixiyiin waxay ahayd Antiyokh.

Barnabas Iyo Sawlos Waxaa Loo Diray Yeruusaalem

27 Wakhtigaas waxaa Yeruusaalem ka yimid nebiyo inay Antiyokh tagaan. 28 Markaasaa mid iyaga ka mid ah oo Agabos la odhan jiray ayaa istaagay, oo wuxuu Ruuxa ku sheegay in abaar weyni dunida ku dhici doonto, taas oo dhacday wakhtigii Kalawdiyos. 29 Markaasaa mid kasta oo xertii ka mid ihiba, sidii tabartiisu ahayd, wuxuu goostay inuu caawimaad u diro walaalihii Yahuudiya jooga, 30 oo sidaasay yeeleen, oo waxay waayeelladii ugu sii dhiibeen gacanta Barnabas iyo Sawlos.

Peter Explains His Actions

11 The apostles and the believers(A) throughout Judea heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.(B) So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the circumcised believers(C) criticized him and said, “You went into the house of uncircumcised men and ate with them.”(D)

Starting from the beginning, Peter told them the whole story: “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision.(E) I saw something like a large sheet being let down from heaven by its four corners, and it came down to where I was. I looked into it and saw four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, reptiles and birds. Then I heard a voice telling me, ‘Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.’

“I replied, ‘Surely not, Lord! Nothing impure or unclean has ever entered my mouth.’

“The voice spoke from heaven a second time, ‘Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.’(F) 10 This happened three times, and then it was all pulled up to heaven again.

11 “Right then three men who had been sent to me from Caesarea(G) stopped at the house where I was staying. 12 The Spirit told(H) me to have no hesitation about going with them.(I) These six brothers(J) also went with me, and we entered the man’s house. 13 He told us how he had seen an angel(K) appear in his house and say, ‘Send to Joppa for Simon who is called Peter. 14 He will bring you a message(L) through which you and all your household(M) will be saved.’

15 “As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit came on(N) them as he had come on us at the beginning.(O) 16 Then I remembered what the Lord had said: ‘John baptized with[a] water,(P) but you will be baptized with[b] the Holy Spirit.’(Q) 17 So if God gave them the same gift(R) he gave us(S) who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I to think that I could stand in God’s way?”

18 When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then, even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life.”(T)

The Church in Antioch

19 Now those who had been scattered by the persecution that broke out when Stephen was killed(U) traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus and Antioch,(V) spreading the word only among Jews. 20 Some of them, however, men from Cyprus(W) and Cyrene,(X) went to Antioch(Y) and began to speak to Greeks also, telling them the good news(Z) about the Lord Jesus. 21 The Lord’s hand was with them,(AA) and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord.(AB)

22 News of this reached the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas(AC) to Antioch. 23 When he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done,(AD) he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts.(AE) 24 He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit(AF) and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.(AG)

25 Then Barnabas went to Tarsus(AH) to look for Saul, 26 and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples(AI) were called Christians first(AJ) at Antioch.

27 During this time some prophets(AK) came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. 28 One of them, named Agabus,(AL) stood up and through the Spirit predicted that a severe famine would spread over the entire Roman world.(AM) (This happened during the reign of Claudius.)(AN) 29 The disciples,(AO) as each one was able, decided to provide help(AP) for the brothers and sisters(AQ) living in Judea. 30 This they did, sending their gift to the elders(AR) by Barnabas(AS) and Saul.(AT)

  1. Acts 11:16 Or in
  2. Acts 11:16 Or in

11 And the apostles and brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.

And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,

Saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them.

But Peter rehearsed the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order unto them, saying,

I was in the city of Joppa praying: and in a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, as it had been a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; and it came even to me:

Upon the which when I had fastened mine eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.

But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.

But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

10 And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again into heaven.

11 And, behold, immediately there were three men already come unto the house where I was, sent from Caesarea unto me.

12 And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:

13 And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;

14 Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved.

15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.

16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.

17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?

18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.

19 Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.

20 And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus.

21 And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord.

22 Then tidings of these things came unto the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go as far as Antioch.

23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.

24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith: and much people was added unto the Lord.

25 Then departed Barnabas to Tarsus, for to seek Saul:

26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.

27 And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch.

28 And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.

29 Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief unto the brethren which dwelt in Judaea:

30 Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
