Our Papa Welcome di Gentile Pipo
Pipo criticize Peter because im chop with men wey no circumcise, so im tell di vision again step by step — we Papa don make dem clean — and di objection stop. For Antioch, believers dey talk to Greeks too. Barnabas go bring Saul, dem teach for one year, and na there dem first call di name Christians.
11 1Di apostle dem and di brothers for Judea hear say Gentile pipo too don receive our Papa word. 2So when Peter go up reach Jerusalem, di pipo wey dey for di circumcision side begin criticize am, 3dem talk say, "You go visit men wey no circumcise, come chop with dem."
4But Peter begin explain di whole thing to dem step by step: 5As I dey pray for di city of Joppa, I fall inside trance come see vision: one big thing wey resemble cloth, dem let am down from heaven by im four corner, e come reach me. 6As I look am well well, I see animal wey get four leg, wild beast, reptile, and bird.
7And I hear one voice wey talk to me say, 'Get up, Peter; kill and chop.'
8But I talk say, 'No way at all, Oga; because nothing wey dirty or wey no clean never enter my mouth for my life.'
9But di voice answer di second time from heaven say, 'Wetin our Papa don make clean, no call am dirty.' 10Dis thing happen three times, and dem pull all of am go up back into heaven. 11Right dat moment, three men wey dem send come to me from Caesarea reach di house wey we dey stay. 12Di Spirit tell me make I go with dem, no make any difference. Dis six brothers too follow me go, and we enter di man house.
13E tell us how e see di angel wey stand for im house dey talk say, 'Send pipo go Joppa go bring Simon wey dem dey call Peter; 14e go bring you message wey go make you and all your household get salvation.' 15As I begin talk, di Holy Spirit fall on dem just as e fall on us for di beginning.
16Then I remember wetin our Oga Jesus talk say: 'John baptize with water, but dem go baptize una with di Holy Spirit.' 17If our Papa give dem di same gift wey e give us wey believe for di Oga Jesus Christ, who be me wey I go stand for our Papa way?
18When dem hear dis thing, dem calm down come praise our Papa, dem talk say, "So our Papa don give even di Gentile pipo di chance to repent wey dey lead to life."
Our Papa Family Dey Grow for Antioch
19Di pipo wey di persecution wey happen because of Stephen scatter travel go far reach Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, dem no dey talk di message to anybody except Jews. 20But some of dem—men wey come from Cyprus and Cyrene—reach Antioch come talk to di Hellenist pipo too, dey tell dem di good news about di Oga Jesus. a a v20 Hellenist: pipo wey dey speak Greek, wey likely be Gentile for dis place. 21Di hand of our Oga Jesus dey with dem, and plenty pipo believe come turn to di Oga. 22Di church for Jerusalem hear about dis thing come send Barnabas go Antioch. 23As e reach, e see our Papa grace come dey rejoice, and e dey beg dem all make dem hold di Oga tight with strong heart. 24Because e be good man, wey full with di Holy Spirit and faith, and plenty crowd join di Oga.
25So Barnabas go Tarsus go find Saul, 26and when e find am, e bring am come Antioch. For one full year dem dey meet with di church come teach plenty crowd, and na for Antioch dem first call di disciples dem Christians. b b v26 Di name Christians mean "pipo wey belong to Christ" — na di first time dem call di pipo wey dey follow Jesus with im name.
27For dis days some prophets come down from Jerusalem go Antioch. 28One of dem, wey dem dey call Agabus, stand up come talk through di Spirit say big famine go come for di whole world—e happen for Claudius time. 29Di disciples decide, each person according to wetin e fit do, make dem send help go di brothers wey dey live for Judea. 30And na so dem do am, dem send am go di elders through Barnabas and Saul.
